Defense Specialization and the Search for Shoes 2

“Demolished!”

Once Maple finished demolishing all of the red ghosts, the materials fell to the ground .

“Hmm…no luck there . Well, I don’t even know if these guys drop it…”

For Maple, this secluded spot made fighting very easy for her . And it would have been the most convenient thing if the shoes that she wanted would also be dropped .

However, as there was not much information available, there was a possibility that she was doing all of this for nothing .

“But I might get something else that Sally had wanted… And I can give the materials to Izu? She’s always doing maintenance work on my gear!”

Furthermore, Maple herself would gain levels .

And since Maple had not concentrated any effort into hunting monsters recently, she thought it would be a good thing to do it once in a while .

Maple continued to sit on her throne and looked around her with the hopes that more of the red ghosts would appear .

“Ah! There! There! I guess there must be a lot of them?”

The red ghosts were now coming towards Maple and attacking her with magic .

“So they have normal magic too . ”

The red light that was launched at her hit her in the stomach with a loud crack and then disappeared .

“Okay! I’m fine! I’m fine! Now keep coming closer to me!”

Maple gestured for the red ghosts to come to her . Then she burned them with her items .

“This really is slow… I’ve been killing things really quickly recently, so it’s been a while since I felt like this . ”

However, fighting at such a languid pace was also relaxing in a way, and so Maple was able to continue without feeling any stress .

“Destroyed! Oh, here comes the next one . ”

Maple smiled and gestured for the next one to come .

The red ghosts were clearly not human, and they repeated their senseless attacks in an effort to defeat Maple, before disappearing .

“Oh, I know . I think I had a poison skill with an instant death effect… Oh, here!”

As the effect did not activate very often, Maple had forgotten about that skill .

It was something she had received after beating all of the poisonous monsters that were inside a jar in the 4th layer .

‘Venom Incantation . ’

Adds 20% instant death effect to poison type skills .

“Maybe it would faster…to aim for an instant kill with a weaker skill? I’m running out of items to attack with, anyway . I guess I will try it then! Uhh… ‘Venom Cutter’!”

The blob of poison that she unleashed on the multiple red ghosts coming towards her was weak compared to Hydra . However, that didn’t mean anything if she was able to get the instant kill effect .

“They didn’t die this time… And I’ll need to use MP potions for this one… Oh, fighting by yourself is really hard . ”

Maple thought back on all of the things that Sally had gathered for her . And she started to think that a pair of shoes was not exactly enough to repay her .

“I’m going to work hard on this layer for Sally… Yes, that’s good . She’ll be so happy about this present . ”

And so maple continued to use poison until she realized something .

“…Hmmm . They won’t die . Is my luck really that bad? Or does it…not work on you guys?”

Maple said as she tried and failed to hit the ribs of the ghost in front of her .

Maple felt that she was right to have a bad feeling about this, and she tried asking the ghosts in a different voice now, but they did not reply .

However, Maple realized that there could be a problem that was much more fundamental .

It was regarding the compatibility of the throne she was sitting on and ‘Venom Incantation . ’

Now that she thought about it, the words ‘Venom Incantation’ had an evil ring to it .

“Oh, this probably won’t work then? Oh, no! It won’t activate! …I guess I’ll have to slowly do it with items… Or should I ask someone to help me?”

Maple continued to fight there until she ran out of items . Once she ran out of items, she ran hurriedly away before more ghosts found her, and then she returned to the clearing .

“Syrup, I need to go back now!”

Maple decided that she would come back soon, but for now, she would return to the town .
