Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu Chapter 359

Chapter 359
After advancing a little farther, magic circles that resembled the one they had stepped on earlier started to appear on the ground . And then three humanoid monsters that were made of trees appeared . Each of them had unique features . One had very large arms, while the others held a sword and bow respectively .
“Maple . Let’s keep things simple!”
“‘Deploy all Weapons,’ ‘Commence Attack’!”
Three enemies were in front of them, and they were in the middle of a passage . So that meant there was only one thing for them to do . Maple created her weapons and aimed them all at the monsters before firing them at once .
After these obviously weak monsters felt the rain of bullets for a few seconds, they exploded .
“Nice one, Maple!”
“Leave it to me!”
Maple and Sally’s stampede didn’t end there . The passage was soon overflowing with monsters, but they could not get past Maple’s wall of bullets . Lily and Willbert watched this silently from behind and tried to confirm that this lived up to the rumors .
“What do you think, Will?”
“They really are strong . But I don’t think each individual attack is that powerful . ”
“I’m sure they aren’t . Will, that is a weakness you could exploit . ”
“Yes… However, it will also depend on where we fight . ”
It was important to be able to see them again . The visual flair didn’t always equal actual strength . Willbert’s bow matched Maple’s guns in terms of speed, but did more damage . And as long as they didn’t attack each other head on, the weight of each of his attacks would mean so much more .
“That being said, even if we do get a second look, it would be back-breaking work, dealing with this kind of attack . I can’t imagine how surprised people were when the first saw this during the fourth event . ”
Even as they talked, Maple tore down the monsters and advanced, step by step . As for the monsters, Maple and her weapons were blocking the passage completely as she fired at them . And so they had no choice but to be sacrificed when it was their turn .
Like this, they soon came out to what seemed like the next area . While they had walked through narrow passages between trees up until now, this was an open area .
The walls looked similar, but there were roses of many colors on the ground, just like with Syrup’s garden skill . And there were thorns spread out as well . This vast space was clearly different from the passages, and even Maple was quick to realize that something was about to happen .
“A strong monster is about to come out . I think…”
“Correct! Here it comes!”
The thorns on the ground began to grow thicker as they gathered towards the center of the room . Then an especially large, red rose bloomed . It moved as if it had a will of its own . The vines on either side of it lashed out like whips .
“We can trade places after this one . You two won’t have a problem defeating it, right?”
“I-I’ll do my best!”
“Maple, you deal with defense . We should be fine, since we know how this dungeon works . ”
Their appearance alone seemed like they were inviting you to shoot at them with fire attacks . But as both of them knew better, they did not fall into this trap . And so Sally dashed forward, and the battle began .
“‘Oozing Chaos,’ ‘Commence Attack’!”
The monster that Maple unleashed crashed into the giant rose that was in the center . She followed this with a storm of bullets . At the same time, she slowly advanced for Sally, so that the rose would be within range of Dedicated Affection . Now that Sally’s safety was secured, she just needed to focus on attacking from the back .
As for Sally, now that she was protected, she attacked the rose mercilessly so that the rose could not attack Maple, on the off chance that it had piercing attacks .
“Phew…!”
Four thorny whips flew towards Sally . Two were on each side as they moved at an angle . Sally waited until the last possible moment before dodging them . One, two . Even Lily and Will could see that she wasn’t just challenging them for the sake of it from the safety of Dedicated Affection .
“Hmm . ”
“I see…”
Just as it had been for Velvet, seeing them fight in person was a completely different matter .
“What do you think, Will . Could you hit her?”
“Not with an arrow that was just fast . Besides…”
Willbert saw that Maple was being strangled in the back by multiple vines, yet seemed completely unphased . He couldn’t help but laugh then .
“That one as well . A high-power arrow would be pointless . ”
“So the rumors are true then . ”
When they turned their eyes towards Sally again, she had just dodged the now six vines perfectly, and she was launching a counterattack . The vines that were still shooting out of the ground and attacking Maple were unable to catch Sally . However, as she was not using any skills, she could only chip away at its HP very slowly .
Most normal players would have become frantic after dodging so many attacks, and they would want to finish the fight as soon as possible . The fact that she continued to dodge, even though it looked as risky as walking on a tightrope, was because this was what was normal to her now .
“Maple! Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
