Novel Bin Chapter 314
Whether or not they died in one hit from Mai and Yui would greatly affect their strategy . And like that, the four were off to a very good start .
Marx cast ‘Transparent’ on them again, and then used a trap skill on May and Yui that would create a barrier when they were attacked by enemies .
“It was leaking electricity... Even if it can’t see you, it might still attack everything around it . So you should be careful . ”
“Maple’s Dedicated Affection, was it? We don’t have that kind of defense ability . So we’ll have to dodge attacks when we can . ”
And if that failed, Marx’s defense wall would be their last fortress . Mai and Yui also knew that when they teamed up with someone besides Maple, they needed to have all their attacks hit their targets . So this was a good time to work on their skills .
“Let’s keep going at this pace then!”
“Remember, we have to be careful, Yui . ”
They said happily . Aside from the electric eel, there were all kinds of fish that swam in the air . And after they had walked for a while, a huge room appeared before them . Here, the place was filled with fish that swam in the air while leaving a trail of electricity .
It was easy to imagine what would happen if you attacked one carelessly . They would all turn towards you at once and unleash their attacks .
“Wha-what should we do... It would be very hard for us to kill them all at once . ”
“I wish we could slip through, but I don’t know if it’s possible . ”
“Oh, well . Shadow, ‘Awakening . ’”
Dred said . And then the black wolf was summoned .
“Marx isn’t the only one who can help you avoid battles . ”
As Dred activated the skill, he told the other three to run straight to the corridor on the opposite side .
Upon hearing this, May and Yui go on top of Tsukimi and Yukimi . Then they told Dred that they were ready .
“Let’s go . Shadow, ‘Shadow World . ’”
And just like that, the ground underneath all four of them turned black, and their entire bodies sunk into the ground . The other three were stunned for a moment, but then they remembered Dred’s order and began to dash forward . Above them, they could see the semi-transparent ground they had been on earlier . After a while, they were pushed back up, and they got closer to the surface .
Somehow, the four of them had succeeded in reaching the other side without being seen .
“Haha . That means you would be able to go right through my traps... How could I even deal with such a skill?”
“...Hmm . I don’t know . ”
Marx looked quite stunned at this display of power from a member of the Congregation of Holy Blades . Mai and Yui could not hide their surprise either .
“That was amazing! That skill looks like it would have so many uses!”
“You saved us . Thank you . ”
“It’s nothing . I’ll have to show my firepower during the boss fight as well . But still...”
Dred scratched his head . Mai and Yui always reacted so honestly to everything, it was hard to imagine they were the same people that were fighting .
“It’s very...Maple Tree...I guess...”
“Ah... I think I know what you’re thinking about . ”
Well, this kind of dungeon crawling was not bad for a change . That is what he thought while looking at their shining eyes . And with that, they headed for the boss room .
With Clear and Shadow’s ability to avoid combat, and with Mai and Yui’s ability to one-shot monsters when necessary, the four of them were able to reach the boss room without too much trouble .
“Marx . Are you ready?”
“Yeah, I’m fine . ”
“We’re fine too!”
“We’re fine too!”
“Alright . Let’s open the door then . ”
Dred was in the lead as they stepped inside . In the back of the room, there was a giant catfish that was nearly 10 meters in size and covered in water . Electricity crackled from its long and thick whiskers .
The catfish’s HP bar appeared above its head, and at the same time, its body shuddered, sending the water around it flying towards the four intruders . While they were floating in the air, the electricity in the catfish’s whiskers increased in intensity, and the water became electric as well .
“‘Remote Set, Earth Wall . ’”
Marx had a bad feeling, and so he created a wall of dirt, blocking the spheres of water from reaching them . Immediately after, there was a loud crash, as thick tendrils of electricity connected the spheres . After a while, they disappeared again .
“Don’t worry . I’ll make an opening for you . You fight alongside Sally a lot, don’t you?”
“Yes, we’re fine!”
“Yes, we’re fine!”
Dred was like Sally in terms of speed and weapons . And so it would be easy for Mai and Yui to coordinate with him . They had trained with Sally for quite a long time .
And so it was not hard for them to see the similarities .
“Shadow, ‘Shadow Pack’”!
As Dred started to run forward, he called out several wolves from his shadow . They ran ahead and charged into the catfish that floated slight above the ground . However, before the wolves could deal any damage, they hit the water that enveloped the catfish, and with the buzz of electric shock they vanished .
“How annoying... I guess I’ll have to use magic then . ”
He would get shocked too if he got too close . But since he had a skill that would allow him to survive with 1 HP, he could test it if he wanted . But it wasn’t worth the risk .
