Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 467
Defense Specialization and the End of a Fierce Battle
A land of water and nature, in the innermost part of the crumbling castle. In the throne room, Lily summoned her soldiers to defend herself.
Payne and Sally marched in. There was no way Lily could defeat the incoming horde of monsters.
“[Holy Sword of Conviction]!”
“[Super-Accel]!”
No more useless exchanges.
Payne exterminated the summoned soldiers and Sally rushed in.
“[Reproduction] [Puppet Wall]!”
By creating a physical wall, Lily tried to stall for time.
“Oboro [Spirited Away]!”
Sally slipped through the wall using Oboro’s skill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily gripped the flag in her hand, but knew it was impossible.
“[Awakening] [Authority: Hellfire]!”
Staggering, Lily filled the narrow space with flames. Even Sally shouldn’t be able to avoid that due to the lack of space.
“[Jump]!”
However, before the flames could swallow her, Sally leaped up.
Sally jumped over Lily’s head and went straight for the throne.
“If it’s only that…!”
Fire swarmed the entire place. If the Sally above her head wasn’t real, she should’ve been burned to death.
Thus, mustering all her strength, Lily thrusted her spear upward.
“[Transformation]!”
“Wha—!”
Instead, the figure that appeared in front of her—the figure whose chest was impaled by her spear, was a girl clad in black armor.
A girl who wouldn’t sustain any damage whatsoever.
With the momentum of being pierced by a spear, her defensive, soaring body descended into the throne and came to a halt.
A moment later, the fanfare that resounded at the end of the fierce battle heralded Maple’s victory.
“Ugh, just one more step!”
Velvet frustratedly knocked at the barrier in front of the throne. Only one more step.
However, before she could make that step, a barrier suddenly emerged, canceling her jump.
When Velvet turned around, she saw Frederica rolling on the ground with 1 HP and pointing her staff towards her.
“How are you still alive?”
you’re so stubborn…”On the verge of disappearing, Chrome passed one skill to Frederica with [Homing Pigeon]. It was [Dead or Alive]. As a result, Frederica—who shouldn’t be able to withstand even one of Velvet’s attacks—did the impossible.
To conceal the skill activation effect, Frederica buried herself in her armor. She also relied on luck. That single moment, achieved using everything she had, determined the outcome of the battle.
With the conclusion of the event, everyone was enveloped in light and transferred to the normal field.
“It’s a pity, but it’s a good match. I hope to win next time.”
“Next time, I have to get Dred and Drag to work harder…”
“It was fun! I sure wished I had won, though…!”
Without giving them a proper chance to converse, the light enveloping the players intensified, and they vanished from the event area.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other side, Maple, exhausted from the fierce battle, slowly got up from the throne.
“It was a good match. You were strong. I feel bad for letting everyone down.”
As the deformed figures disappeared, Lily, spent from using [Authority], spoke to Maple.
“I was going to use [Dedicated Affection], but they told me to do it this way.”
“Ah, if you had used that skill, I might have won.”
“Maple, nice!”
“It was a good attack. Good game.”
“Ah, Sally! Payne!”
“Maple, you did well!”
“The same goes for you, Iz! You did your best!”
The light grew brighter. As expected, they had to share their impressions elsewhere.
“Should I practice so that I can use [Authority] well next time…?”
“Uuh, at that time, please be my ally.”
“Haha, okay, I will think about it.”
After exchanging afterword with Lily, Maple vision was filled with light.
