Chapter 328

“In that case, we might be able to defeat it if we all attack at once . ”

What had flown towards them was Payne riding Ray, and Mi, who rode on Ignis .

The two had left the annihilation of the special monsters to the other guild members, and flown back here . The reason for this was that they had realized that the giant monster regularly created new special monsters every time its health went down . So there was no point on focusing everything on the special monsters .

The two of them dodged the swinging arms and flew out of its range .

“The situation will only get worse for us unless we can stop this rain of fire . There are still some other players left, but once their numbers go down, it will start using that attack more often . ”

“We’ll target its head as soon as there’s an opening . You two be prepared . ”

If they went and attacked the head now, the four of them would be hit by the thick, swinging arms and the fire from the magic circles . However, they needed to get in somehow, or they had no hope of dealing huge damage .

Maple changed her equipment in order to attack . Her weapons came out and she even prepared Spirit Cannon for Syrup .

They continued to dodge for some time after that . The devil’s HP decreased again, and it staggered with one limp leg . The other leg had lost all of its power as it fell forward . But it used one of its many arms to prop itself up .

Here, the flames began to spread once again . However, before it hit them, the flames that were supplied by the special monsters stopped . Right before the third rain of fire, Dred and the others had managed to finish killing all of the special monsters .

This was too good of a chance to miss . The four of them moved in all at once . They dodged the fire that flew towards them along with the arms . And once they reached the faceless head, they unleashed their most powerful attacks .

“‘Light Sword of the Holy Dragon’!”

“‘Murderous Inferno’!”

Payne and Mi’s attacks barely skimmed the sides of their heads as they slammed into the enemy and dealt tremendous damage . Immediately after, Sally jumped off of Ray and used her skill to kick the air and get closer . She avoided the gaping mouth and targeted its forehead .

“‘Quintuple Slash’!”

Sally was enveloped in a blue aura as her chain of attacks cut deeply into the boss’s head . Then Maple jumped off of Ignis and onto Syrup . And without missing a beat, she directed her weapons at the devil . With this timing, she could shoot it up with everything she had without hitting anyone else .

“‘Commence Attack,’ ‘Hydra,’ ‘Oozing Chaos . ’ Syrup, ‘Spirit Cannon’!”

Mi’s attacks made it burn, Payne’s attacks caused damage effects to burst everywhere as if it was being purified . And Sally’s chain of attacks pushed it even further .

Then there was the rain of countless bullets, poison, and lasers . In the end, Maple raised her great shields and detonated the weapons on her back .

“Here I go…!”

The devil’s mouth opened wide in order to crush her . But she continued her charge with the shield that also swallowed up everything .

When Maple hit the sharp fangs, they were swallowed up, and she pierced the back of its throat . Immense amounts of damage effects exploded as she came out the other side .

Sally, who had just finished her own attacks, grabbed Maple and used her webs and footholds to get away .

“Wh-what happened!?”

“Nice one, Maple . Look . ”

Maple looked towards the devil . Its HP bar had gone down to 0 . The purple flames were dying down . Then the giant body turned into light and disappeared .

At the same time, the darkened field began to return to normal . And all the devil monsters that had been on the map had vanished .

But what was surprising to them, was that they received medals for killing it .

“Sally! Medals! I got medals! Three of them!”

“Hahaha… Well, somehow I feel like we deserve more . But I’ll take them . ”

Then the other six members of Maple Tree joined them . By the looks of it, they were all fine . They were tired, but relieved to know that the threat was gone .

“Hey, everyone! What a relief!”

Once Maple had reunited with them, a buzzer sounded, and it was announced that the third day had ended .

They had succeeded in surviving for three days . And with that, they were returned to the original field .

The event was finished, and management looked at the results .

“Huh? What? It was taken down that easily?”

“Yes… Uh, I guess we misjudged how much HP it should have . I thought that it wouldn’t do to set it too high . ”

It was an especially vicious monster that had powerful attacks that affected the entire map . And it was so huge that most players wouldn’t even want to get close to it . They had assumed that players would just run around and dodge the rain of fire . However, if a monster had HP, that meant it could be killed .

If they all charged together and attacked it at full force, its size would then be a disadvantage, and it would not be able to do more precise attacks .

“We’ll have to think harder the next time we use a huge monster…”

“Indeed… Maybe lower its attack power but raise its HP . ”

And like that, while the event was finished, management’s work continued .
