Chapter 189

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 189

Defense Specialization and Inside the Darkness 3

“Huh?! I-I can’t see anything!”

Maple tried to use the lantern again, but the result was the same .

“Wh-where? Woah?!”

While Maple looked around frantically, a cold hand grabbed her from the back .

It had a temporary effect of taking away her STR and AGI . Thankfully, that didn’t mean anything to Maple .

“Tsk…Ughh! I can’t get away…”

Of course, not having any STR meant that she could not escape from the ghost’s grasp either .

For half a minute, the hand slowly rose and lifted Maple up into the air .

“The damage…what?!”

Maple closed her eyes in preparation, but this time, the pain did not come .

Instead, Maple lost all of her HP . Indomitable Guardian activated, and Maple was thrown to the ground .

While there was no fall damage, Maple would not be able to survive if she took another hit .

“Uh, what? Oh, wha-what should I…!”

While Maple was confused, there was one thing she knew very well . She could not allow herself to be hit again .

“Thr-throne! Where!?”

Maple ran through the darkness and searched for the throne she had left somewhere .

It would take some time before she would be able to use it again if she deactivated it, and she wasn’t sure she could survive that long .

However, Maple was not even thinking that far ahead . She was mostly just running from the present danger .

And that happened to be a good thing for her .

“I can’t find it…!”

Maple sensed that something was coming up behind her, and so she ran in a zigzag .

After a while, she began to calm down enough to consider her various options .

Maple thought of using her self-destruct flight in order to gain some distance, but since she couldn’t even see anything, there was a possibility that she would fly straight into the enemy . And so she gave up that idea as something that should not be tested .

Currently, she could really do nothing but run, but there were times when she felt a cold wind at her back and she grew pale .

Maple breathed heavily as she ran . And then she thought of something else and decided to put it into action .

“Return, Syrup . And…good . The Soul Canon is ready! With this…I can deactivate the throne as well!”

Maple was now feeling very optimistic about her chances . She started to run again when something got caught around her foot .

“Huh…”

When Maple looked down at her right foot, she saw that a pale hand had stretched out of the ground and was wrapped around her .

“Ohhh! Let go! Ah…”

Cold hands wrapped around Maple’s body .

The hands were keeping her fixed to the ground, so while she was not lifted this time, death was approaching .

Almost by instinct, Maple called Syrup, but her mind could not concentrate, and she was unable to give any orders .

“Uh, uh! Ah, oh, what should I do!”

As she panicked, Maple instinctively did the only thing she could do within the short amount of time she had left .

“‘Predator,’ ‘Oozing Chaos,’ ‘Pandemonium,’ ‘Hydra,’ ‘Soul Canon,’ ‘Mother Nature’!”

The line of monsters appeared behind Maple’s back . And the two Oni stood up in the darkness .

Thick vines shot out of the darkness while the Soul Canon fired with a thunderous noise that was followed by the Hydra .

The fire that the Oni breathed filled the darkness . The roar of the monsters and the sounds of the clubs banging echoed as the vines shot up into the air .

“Ohhhh!”

Desperately, Maple pulled out the sheets of paper and began to stick them onto the hands around her .

Maple was filled with the fear that she could be dead in the next moment .

However, before Maple’s HP could reach 0, there was a cracking sound, and the darkness was filled with a blinding light .

“Huh…?”

It was as if the darkness was being shattered like glass . And the room was filled with more and more light .

“Hahh…ehehe . Thank you . ”

Maple was so relieved that she collapsed onto her back and looked upward .

She looked up at the faces that looked down at her and smiled gently .
