Defense Specialization and After the Preliminary 2

Some time later, the results were announced . Every member of Maple Tree had successfully entered the top of the ranking, which meant that all eight of them would be able to take on the hardest difficulty .

As they would be able to form a party this time, they would be able to use the power of their tamed monsters to the fullest .

“Apparently, it’s the same field too . You must be happy about that, Maple . There will be medals as well, so we’ll have to explore every corner of the place . ”

“I enjoy fighting as much as anyone, but I also want to explore . And there is so much beautiful scenery!”

Maple had forgotten to retrieve the crystals and lost her footage . So she was very excited that another chance to explore had arrived .

“Still, I’m so glad that all of us were able to get in . ”

“Tsukimi worked really hard!”

“Yukimi too!”

The two said happily as they carried their cubs . All six guild members smiled at this . Both Mai and Yui had been worried that they wouldn’t be able to survive, and so they were especially happy with the results .

“Well, the tamed monsters are really strong and they help us . But I’m sure they took all of that into consideration when setting the difficulty . ”

Sally said . Chrome and Kasumi nodded .

“Almost everyone in the top would have tamed a monster . And so we shouldn’t think it will be easy just because we have one . ”

“If anything, it might be too difficult if we haven’t leveled up . ”

“Hmm . I guess we’ll have to keep leveling up then! I need to help Syrup get stronger!”

They still had some time before the main event . However, it seemed like the others could hardly wait . After all, they wanted to show off how amazing their monsters were now .

It was like boasting about how cute your child was .

“Ah, that’s right . I was able to see Dread and Drag’s tamed monsters during the preliminary . ”

And so Kanade told them that Dread had a wolf that controlled shadows, while Drag had a golem that controlled sand and the earth .

“Uhhh… I don’t like that it can nullify ‘Mother Nature . ’”

Aside from that, Syrup had a few other skills that affected the ground . It would be very troublesome if all of them could be nullified .

“We have to be very careful of Dread as well . He’ll likely be invincible when diving in the shadows . And so you will be at a disadvantage if you use powerful attacks without thinking . ”

“Hmm… We won’t be fighting PvP until the actual event . So I suppose we’ll just have to gather information little by little . ”

Once Kanade had told them what he knew about Congregation of the Holy Swords, Sally told them about the fight between Mi and Payne . That is, until Maple interrupted them .

Though, Mi often explored with Maple, so she mostly focused on Payne .

At the very least, they found out that he had a wide area breath attack and the ability to fly . Furthermore, as no monster like that had been witnessed before, it was very likely that it was a rare monster with powerful hidden skills .

“It’s too bad that, for now, all we can say is that we have to be very careful . Almost all dragons have a breath attack…and considering how he talked to Frederica, he must be hiding something . As for Mi, her Inferno skill was very strong . It had a wide area of effect and I think it dealt a lot of damage as well . With something that covers that much space, even I wouldn’t be able to avoid it if I was close by . ”

At this point, it was confirmed that all of their rivals had tamed monsters . That meant they had so many more attack patterns now .

“Alright! Let’s do our best in the event and gain lots of medals so we can get stronger! We have to be stronger in order to make up for our inferior numbers . ”

“That’s true . Each of us needs to be strong . ”

With renewed determination, they continued to strengthen their monsters while waiting for the day of the main battle .
