Chapter 165

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 165

Defense Specialization and the Golems

The five of them including Pain walked in a tight group .

As most of them were rearguards, they could not advance at a fast pace, but their safety was more than guaranteed .

Pain told Chrome that Maple would have stayed with them if they had come a little earlier .

“Maple was here?”

“Yeah . We were moving together until right before you guys came . Oh, she was so strong . As always . ”

“I’ve never fought her directly . But I would like to someday…no, it would turn into mudslinging . ”

While not as long as Sally, Chrome had been around Maple for a long time as well .

As someone who was also a shield-bearer, he was starting to be able to establish how to block Maple’s attacks .

Of course, that didn’t mean he would be able to beat her .

Chrome held the possibility of surviving a fight against Maple, but he could not defeat her .

“But if I ever get the opportunity, I’m going all out . I’m not exactly a pushover you know . ”

Chrome said as he slammed his right hand into his chest .

“If Maple remained as she is…I feel like I could almost stab her . ”

“Oh, really? Well, Maple cannot be contained, so I have no idea what will happen in the future . ”

Chrome added that it had always been this way .

Maple was constantly repeating the cycle of stagnation and then sudden growth .

Not only that, but there was no one around her, including herself who was able to predict it .

“Everyone, it’s a golem! Prepare for battle!”

They had continued to talk while being cautious .

And as they walked like that, they eventually arrived in the area overflowing with golems, which was Pain’s destination .

There were moss-covered ruins here, and there were more broken pillars and bricks than trees .

Misery alerted them and cast buffs on Pain and Chrome at the same time .

“It looks… . like I won’t have anything to do this time . I’ll prepare some traps . ”

Marx switched from normal road traps to traps for large monsters that had a high cost .

As he did this, Pain went ahead and began slashing at the arms of the stone golem .

“It’s easy if its just one!”

Pain twisted his body and avoided being hit by the golem’s fist . Then he used ‘Leap’ and cut down into the golem’s body .

For Pain, a golem was not the kind of enemy where he needed to care about defending himself .

In the end, Pain was able to kill the giant golem all by himself .

And it didn’t even take one minute .

Chrome ran up to him as he sheathed his sword .

“Hey, Pain . Look . ”

“Hmm? This…”

Pain looked in the direction that Chrome was pointing .

Broken pillars and the skeleton of moss-covered ruin .

A golem appeared from its shadow . Not only that . Golems were coming out from all over the place . They cried as they charged at them .

It was as if they were blocking the way for anyone trying to go forward .

As Pain and the others watched, the golems increased to such a number that they covered the entire scene .

“Pain, what should we do!?”

“Let’s kill a few and then run through!”

“Understood!”

Chrome and Pain exchanged words briefly and then unsheathed their weapons .

Misery cast an AGI increase buff on all of them, and they prepared to make a run for it .

“I’ll stop them with traps on both sides…but it won’t hold for long . ”

“I’ll use my magic books for now . Hmmm, something with a piercing ability…this one I think . ”

Kanade pulled out a book .

Just as the fight was about to begin, the book emitted a bright light .

The sound of wind blowing could now be heard above their heads .

It slowly became louder and blowed in specific directions .

It was now explosively loud .

Several spears of air shot out and pierced through the golems .

Dust rose into the air, and all of them felt the earth tremble under their feet .

“The damage isn’t as high as it looks, hurry!”

Obeying Kanade’s order, Pain stood in the lead and charged at the golems .

“You guys…don’t move…”

A pale light appeared from both sides and flowed to the feet of the golems, limiting their movement .

Marx’s MP was dwindling rapidly, but Misery quickly made up for it with her own skills .

It wasn’t just HP that Misery could replenish .

But since it was limited, she could not use it forever, but it was more than enough to get through this .

“There’s no end to it! We can’t keep fighting them . ”

Chrome shouted as he parried a heavy fist, sending it into the ground .

There were too many to defeat, and it would be difficult to run through them .

It was right then .

A golem’s head blew off in an explosion of flames .
