Chapter 302

Defense Specialization and Meeting Up

It seemed that they had all been blown away and completely separated .
In the darkness, Sally warily made her way to an open area .

“So this is why the preliminary was solo… I’m sure Maple will be fine… But I’m worried about Mai and Yui .
”

She hoped that Tsukimi and Yukimi would be able to protect them .
It was as Sally was thinking this, that a black magic circle suddenly appeared in front of her .
And from within, a devil-like monster with horns and sharp claws emerged .
It flapped its wings loudly and flew towards her .

“Oboro, ‘Binding Barrier’! …It doesn’t work!”

Sally dodged its thrusting arm and slashed deeply into its side, before jumping back .
The monster let out a chilling cry, and several small black magic circles appeared on the ground .
And from these, smaller demons were summoned .

“Oboro, ‘Fire Child .
’”

Sally enveloped her weapons in fire in order to increase their reach .
Then she turned to the devils with a serious expression .

“They’re also coming from behind…!”

Perhaps they had been attracted by the sounds of fighting, because she could hear rustling coming from behind her .
Sally increased her concentration .
She could not be defeated here .

More than anything, she needed to know how many monsters were there, and so she looked back just for a split second .
Even as she fought the devils, she saw the familiar figure behind her .

“Frederica?!”

“Ah, so it is you, Sally? What a relief .
I was just searching for an advance guard!”

Frederica said as she ran up to Sally and stood so that their backs were stuck together .

“…You could have at least killed them before coming .
Why are you here anyway?”

“Sorry .
Well, I’ll tell you the details later .
”

“Fine .
More importantly, we have to clear this area first!”

They decided to cooperate temporarily as they raised their weapons .
And just as the devils jumped on them, they attacked .

“‘Multi-fire Bullets’! Knots, ‘Singing Round’!”

“Oboro, ‘Cross Fire,’ ‘Shadow Clone’!”

The fire that Frederica shot out was then multiplied by Knots .
And Sally also unleashed a chain of fire towards the monsters .
The dark field was suddenly bathed in red light .

“Defenses… I don’t think I need any .
‘Multi-water Bullets’!”

A few monsters that didn’t even have wide-area attacks were no threat to Sally .
Frederica defeated the monsters while also ensuring that Sally could draw out as much firepower as possible .

She usually used Multi-Obstacle’ on Drag, but if she used it on herself, she could fight while minimizing the damage taken .
Frederica did this while repeatedly healing .
She would look for an opening and then attack .
Then she heard an especially loud voice behind her .
The large devil had just been cut down by Sally .

“I have to end things here too .
Knots, ‘Amplify’!”

Frederica created a number of fireballs like she always did, and then she used Knots’s skill to make them bigger and stronger .

“Phew .
I stopped them somehow .
”

It burned the remaining monsters .
When the two of them erased the flames, darkness fell over the field once again .

“Haa .
Thank you .
”

“I’m sure you would have won if you were alone .
”

“Ahaha! You can tell? Well, it really wasn’t that easy .
And Payne and the others are so far away .
”

“Hey, wait .
How do you know?”

“Uhh, I have a skill for that .
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about .
And so I was able to contact them .
But they’re so far away .
”

Frederica wanted an ally just in case something happened .
As for Sally, she didn’t see any demerits to the alliance, and so she had no reason to refuse .

“I can’t enter any dungeons until we reunite .
And it looks like you want to find the rest of your team .
”

How do you intend on doing that? Frederica asked with a laugh .

“You can’t even contact them, right? See, you should just give up on that and come with me .
”

Frederica said as she pointed in the direction that she was headed .

“Hmm .
Well, wait a minute .
Ah…”

“Huh? Fireworks? Is it an event?”

While it was far away, Sally and Frederica heard the sound and saw the light in the empty sky very clearly .

“That’s Maple’s mark .
So that’s where she is…”

“What? You have fireworks…”

“No, that’s just Maple .
She put bombs on herself and detonated them .
”

“…Huh? … .
??”

As Frederica tried to digest this, Sally started walking away .

“Ah! Hey, wait! Wait! It’s in the same direction, so why don’t we go together?”

“Uh, alright .
But I might leave you if it gets dangerous .
”

“Damn it… I thought you had no way to meet up with them, and I’d be able to persuade you to team up…”

Frederica grumbled about how things never went her way .
And like that, Sally headed towards Maple .

“I don’t have much hope for Drag, but Dred has high scouting ability, so he might have found someone by now .
”

“I suppose you’d want a strong player as a temporary ally… Well, if you can even find one… Knots seems like it’s aware of a pretty wide area .
I guess that means I can’t ambush you anymore .
”

“No comment .
Ah, there’s something interesting nearby .
Do you want to go and see?”

“That face… It’s a monster, isn’t it? No thanks .
”

“How did you know!”

However, this skill was very useful, and Frederica used Knots’s ability to lead them forward while avoiding monsters .
