Chapter 257

Defense Specialization and Addition

“So… I guess these are the items that were added . ”

Every time a new map was added or there was an event, Kasumi would come to the 4th layer and check to see if there was any new furniture .

When she did, she would often clear small quests to get the furniture . And it would not be an exaggeration to say that she had explored more of this layer than anyone else .

“Maybe I should also check to see if there were any new quests added . ”

As the 7th layer had now been implemented, the monsters here would now feel very weak .

And so as a breather, Kasumi decided to visit a tavern where you could often accept quests .

The place was filled with all kinds of monsters, who sat around tables and talked loudly to each other .

It was all conversations Kasumi had heard before, and the faces were also familiar . However, her eyes suddenly stopped at one table in the corner .

She saw a large frog sitting there politely .

“That…is an unfamiliar face…”

When Kasumi approached the table, a blue panel popped up in front of her and displayed the quest name .

“‘Fog Valley in a Faraway Land’? …Was this added recently…?”

Kasumi smiled and accepted the quest with great expectation .

And then, the frog in front of her began to talk .

“Oh, is there something you wanted to ask me?”

“Uh, something like that . ”

“Kekeke . Indeed…I have something interesting to say…though, I don’t know if you will believe it . ”

The frog said . And then it began to talk about a valley floor that was filled with fog .

“They say that there is a monster there . And so I went there to test my own bravery, believing that there was no such monster . However…there was . A monster so terrible that you will not be able to move when you see it . ”

Kasumi asked the frog to tell her more, but the frog closed its mouth .

“You plan to go there, don’t you? …Kekeke . Don’t go . You won’t be able to come back alive without power . Well…as for the rest…I’ll tell you if you are strong enough . ”

It said, and then the quest description was updated . It told her to defeat specific monsters . And it wasn’t only on the 4th layer . She would have to go to the 5th and 6th as well .

Kasumi had only come here for a change of pace, and so she was quite surprised . But in the next instant, she realized that there was no way she wasn’t going to do it . And she flew out of the tavern .

She had become certain that this was the latest quest, and she was so excited that a smile naturally appeared on her face .

“Hehe… So, what will it be… Strong or weak…”

Kasumi decided to start on the 4th layer as she raised her speed and moved towards the field .

“First…hmm . The small demons of the west . ”

The thing that she had to do on the 4th layer, was defeat these small monsters . However, while they were weak when alone, they had a tendency to appear in large numbers, so you had to be careful when going solo .

When Kasumi arrived at her destination, the small demons called each other and swarmed around her .

This time, she had to kill a certain number of them within a time limit after killing the first one .

Kasumi unsheathed her sword and with a puff of smoke, changed her appearance as she looked at the small demons .

“‘Arm of the Warrior’ ‘Mind’s Eye’!”

Kasumi entered her fighting stance, summoning two arms, and activating the skill she acquired with the medals .

[Mind’s Eye]

Effective for 1 minute . 5-minute cooldown .

It allows you to see the hitboxes of monster attacks and player skill attacks in advance .

When using Mind’s Eye, Kasumi saw red lines for where the clubs would swing . In other words, she knew where not to be if she didn’t want to get damaged .

“I wonder if this how Sally sees things… Blood Blade!”

While she was surrounded, she could see all the places that were dangerous . And so she was able to calmly twist her body and dodge attacks . Then she activated Blood Blade and turned her sword into liquid . She used it as a whip in order to attack the small demons over a wide area .

The others were automatically cut up by the swords that floated on both sides of her .

Kasumi hadn’t just used the medal skills to raise her attack ability, she used them to help keep herself stable during combat .

Not only could she deal with enemies at close range and middle range, her defense ability had also been raised . And so her abilities while solo was quite high .

“One minute…alright . Mind’s Eye’s effect is gone now . ”

There was a sharp metallic sound as she sheathed her swords . And like that, all of the small demons that had swarmed around her turned into light and disappeared .

“Blood Blade really is useful . Now, onto the 5th layer . ”

Kasumi finished the first requirement easily and now headed for the 5th layer .
