Chapter 232

Itai no wa iya 232

Defense Specialization and the Tower’s 6th Floor

After killing the monster in front of them, the pair picked up the materials and sighed .

“Uhh…the defense…”

“Hahh…it was so tough…”

The cave monster that had come out was a golem with a diamond body . And none of Maple’s attacks had any effect on it . The only way they could defeat it was to use Sally’s defense piercing skill .

However, it was also not able to do anything about Maple’s defenses through Dedicated Affection .

“Well, it couldn’t get through your defenses . So we won’t lose at least . But I think we better ignore those guys . ”

It would take too much time to fight them . Even if the materials were valuable, gathering them was far from efficient, and so they had no reason to fight them .

“I hope the boss isn’t like that . ”

“If it is, I’ll take care of it . After all, I promised to make up for the 5th floor . ”

“Yes . Leave the defenses to me!”

They continued on until the path split into two .

And then, as if they were waiting for their arrival, humanoid monsters that were made of shining ore stepped forward from one of them .

There were three of them . They held spears and shields as they marched forward .

“We might be able to go around them…what do you think?”

“Let’s avoid them! Avoid! I bet they have strong defense ability!!”

And so Maple pushed Sally towards the path to the side .

“I don’t think you’re fast enough to escape them…but at least they don’t seem to be chasing us . ”

“What a relief . That’s good . ”

“Let’s see how far we can go then . Of course, while avoiding combat . ”

“Okay! I hope there won’t be too many monsters…”

However, Maple’s wish did not come true . Every time they hit a fork in the road, there would always be monsters in one direction .

“Do you think the one with the monsters is the right one? Hmm . I don’t know . ”

“What should we do? Should we try fighting just once and go in that direction?”

“Don’t worry, it’s all on the map . Besides, we’ll probably get lost no matter which way we go . We should just keep going until we hit a dead end . Then we can go back . ”

“Oh, okay!”

They chose to take the route that avoided combat . After continuing for some time, they reached a large room .

“It doesn’t seem…like a boss room?”

“I don’t think it is . There’s another tunnel in the back . Still, I think something might come out, so be careful . ”

“Yes . Stay behind me, Sally . ”

And then, just as Maple took one step into the room, there was a cracking sound, and then a wall that was made of the same ore as the monsters came down and blocked their path .

At the same time, the same ore started popping out of the ground all over the room . They were giving birth to numerous monsters all at once .

“Woah! Monster house!”

“What? What!?”

“This isn’t good! We have to fight them one at a time…!”

Some of the monsters they had never seen before . Sally was worried about piercing attacks, and so she pulled the hesitant Maple by the hand and they retreated into a small part of the path that was left .

“Uh, it’s better if the attacks don’t reach us!”

“That’s preferable, but…”

And then Maple suddenly had an idea . Sheep wool suddenly started to grow from her body . It filled up the little alcove they were in, just like a wall .

Then Maple stuck her head out in order to talk to Sally, who was between the sheep wall and the ore wall .

“They’re really poking me back there, but I’m fine!”

“Phew… Okay . Then things might be easy . I’m going inside now, Maple . It will take a while, but I’ll deal with them one at a time . ”

“By all means . Have a good time!”

“Yes-yes . Excuse me . ”

Sally said as she pushed her way into the wool . Then she poked her head out of the other side and began to defeat the monsters she had never seen before .

Once you were rid of the possibility of piercing attacks, there was nothing to be afraid of .

“It won’t get burned unless you’re against humans . This really is strong . ”

“It’s my fluffy iron wall guard!”

“That’s…not a contradiction, huh . ”

They talked together while defeating the enemies . It was one of those unique battles that only occurred when you were with Maple .
