Chapter 109

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri s . h . i . tai to Omoimasu 109

Defense Specialization and Prison

Maple was riding Syrup and flying in the air by herself .

“No one is following me . Sally said that she had so much trouble because people were always after her . ”

This was because Sally stole orbs, while Maple crushed the guilds head-on and then took the orb afterward .

And there was no one stupid enough to chase after Maple once that had happened .

Yes, she had crushed 6 guilds already .

“I gathered this many orbs . I have plenty of time left to get the rest!”

Maple lay down on top of Syrup’s sh . e . l . l . Then she started to hear the sounds of clashing swords coming from below .

Maple crawled over to the edge and looked down . A number of guilds were fighting over an orb .

These guilds had lost their orbs from someone strong, and now they were gathered here .

“It looks like they are fighting…ah! That orb . It is the orb that I was supposed to get next!”

Most people would have left it, once they saw that the orb was in a battlefield where magic flew and swords clashed .

Sally would have left it alone .

However, Maple jumped into the center of it without a moment’s hesitation .

The disaster that fell from heaven landed in the middle of the battlefield, and then stood up with her monsters .

“That orb is mine!”

It had not happened yet .

But the possibility of those words becoming reality was incredibly high .

“‘Hydra’!”

The current of poison that was unleashed bounced off of the ground and rained on top of them .

With Maple in the center, the fountain rained its powerful poison over unlucky players, and they were swallowed up by it .

This poison also prevented the players from getting any closer to Maple .

Being able to take such unpredictable actions so that the other player wouldn’t be able to think, was one of Maple’s strengths .

Who would fight while thinking of the possibility of Maple falling from the sky?

However, when Maple looked to the pedestal, the orb was no longer there .

Someone who was quick to adjust had seen their chance and taken it .

But Maple had no idea who that was .

“Huh? …What should I do… That’s it! Syrup, ‘Mother Nature’!”

Maple was currently in a flat area with a moderate amount of trees growing .

Maple immediately had the area surrounded by vines as she looked around her .

She had guessed that the player who had taken the orb was still close by, and so she created a prison of vines in order to capture them .

“Sally’s memo… ‘If you can’t get the orb, go for extinction . ’ Understood!”

If she didn’t know who had the orb, she just needed to kill them all .

It wasn’t an easy thing to do, but Maple could still do it if she used all of her strength .

However, the current Maple had some limitations put on her, and she could not use everything she had .

And so she had no choice but to drown the area with poison and limit the area that players could stand so she could round them up .

But now the players had stopped fighting each other and were working together in order to survive . And Maple was so slow on her feet that she was unable to catch a single player .

“Oh…this is impossible! Syrup!”

Maple made the order, and she was encased inside of the vines .

She was inside of a sphere made of vines that was suspended right over the prison .

“‘Deploy Barrels . ‘”

Weapons extended from Maple’s body, just like that time when she saved Sally .

But this time she was much more thorough .

“‘Commence Attack . ‘”

Were there any players here that could dodge the barrage of lasers, while avoiding the poison on the ground that limited their movement? No .

One after another, the players fell by what was at their feet, or what fell on their heads .

The sea of poison had been a failure at first, but now it was showing just how potent it was .

“Maybe…I’ll drop down again . ”

Maple returned to the ground and was looking for any survivors when she found the orb floating in the poison .

“Ah! I got it . Yes…”

Maple picked up the orb and deactivated the prison before riding Syrup back into the sky .

“I think it may be time to stop using ‘Hydra’… But it’s too early to show the machine form . But I can’t keep doing the same thing…hmm…”

It was still midday of the second day .

While it was for a different reason, Maple could not stay out for the entire day and invade other bases .

“One more…or maybe two more? Yes, I’ll do that . ”

She decided on her next target, and she would return as soon as that was finished .

The members who were defending Maple Tree had absolutely nothing to do .

They currently only had their own orb, so no one came to take theirs back .

Furthermore, hardly anyone would attack them since the first day .

Sally was still sleeping, and Izu was making a sword for Kasumi .

Kasumi seemed anxious about her sword, and she continued to pace back and forth next to Izu .

This would actually be the best time if any guild wanted to attack Maple Tree, but they had made such a strong impact on the first day, that not even scouts were sent to check on them .
