Chapter 313

Defense Specialization and to the East

The four who went east were Dred, Marx, Mai, and Yui .

They rode on top of Tsukimi and Yukimi as they dashed through the field .

“Woah . They really are fast . ”

“Yes . Like this, we might be able to outrun any monsters we encounter…”

As they said this, one of the four-legged monsters that had attacked their base, suddenly appeared in front of them . Even Marx’s Clear was not able to erase every single one, and so it now rushed towards the four of them .

“‘Power Share,’ ‘Bright Star’!”

“‘Power Share,’ ‘Bright Star’!”

As Tsukimi and Yukimi’s masters had higher attack ability, sharing their STR caused theirs to rise, and they unleashed a spherical light that caused damage .

The monster in front of them was. .h.i.t by two of them, and stumbled .

As it lost its balance, Tsukimi and Yukimi dashed forward on both sides of it . And just as they were about to pa.s.s it by, the two swung their great hammers right into the monster, erasing it with a burst of light .

“What a horrible hit and run . ”

“It really is incredible, seeing it up close…”

The general strategy for these four was to allow Mai and Yui to get close to the monsters in order to destroy them . Furthermore, since Tsukimi and Yukimi were with them, they were guaranteed a decent amount of speed as well . With Marx’s trap setting abilities put into the mix, they didn’t have too much to worry about .

The four of them looked at the map that Sally had made, and tried to figure out the location of the mark, relative to Maple Tree’s base .

“The terrain hasn’t changed, at least . According to Sally, it should be around…here?”

The shadows of the night were so dark and vast that you couldn’t see any stars . But the moon’s reflection could be seen on the lake’s surface . And since there was no moon to be seen in the sky, it was clear that there was something very strange about this lake .

“Should we go?”

“Yeah . We’ll just get attacked by monsters if we stay here looking . Besides, Marx said he finds it easier to work inside of dungeons . ”

“Yes . Clear’s abilities won’t work as well out here…”

“Then let’s get going . Though, we still don’t know if it really is a dungeon . ”

“Understood . Tsukimi!”

Mai and Yui then had Tsukimi and Yukimi run down to the side of the lake .

“For now, let’s try going to the center . ”

“Should we…use a boat?”

However, Tsukimi and Yukimi were able to swim, so there was no need for that . But as their feet stretched out towards the water’s surfaces, a most strange thing happened . Their feet did not sink, but stopped perfectly on top of the water . And after that, they were able to walk on it like it was normal ground .

“This…it looks like we were right . ”

The four continued on until they reached the center of the lake . And when they arrived, their bodies were enveloped by light .

“That was pretty quick . Well, just try not to die . ”

“Yeah . ”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

As they waited excitedly, their bodies were covered completely, and they were teleported off to the dungeon .

The place they came out in had a ground that was covered in water . Even the walls were damp . The overall atmosphere was damp and humid . It was a circular area and it was easy to see that this was the starting point .

There was only one pa.s.sage leading away, so they had no choice but to follow it .

“Well, let’s go then . ”

“Yes . Alright, Clear… ‘Transparent . ’”

“Are we invisible now?”

“Yes . But be careful, it doesn’t work on every monster . ”

“I don’t know if I would be able to deal with this during PvP . Even if I knew about it . ”

“…Maybe . ”

They cautiously made their way down the pa.s.sage . Then they saw an eel that was about a meter in length, coming toward them from the other side . It was enveloped in water as it swam through the air . A trail of water was left behind it, and they could hear sparks of electricity as pale light flashed .

And while the four brandished their weapons, the eel had not seen them, and pa.s.sed them by .

“Mai!”

“Yes!”

The two stepped forward and swung their great hammers as hard as they could .

The leisurely swimming eel felt the full force of this attack as it was pounded out of the air . There was a loud popping noise as it slammed into the ground and exploded with electricity and light before disappearing .

“What an extravagant a.s.sa.s.sination…”

“All the better with ‘Transparent . ’”

As they would be exposed when attacking, he and Izu had had to use it when entering the dungeon . But it had a very different effect for Mai and Yui . For the monsters, it was as if an invisible, instant death attack was coming out of nowhere . And since they died in one hit, there was no fear of getting caught .

“That’s something that couldn’t be done in our guild . ”

“Well, it’s just a skill for ambushes…”

“Ah, it seems we’re visible . Can you put it on again!”

“Ah, it seems we’re visible . Can you put it on again!”
