Chapter 291
Defense Specialization and Light and Fire
“Now, it seems like the others haven’t been killed yet… I guess they must be doing well . And Maple hasn’t disappeared from the map at all…”
Sally stretched her limbs as she saw that there wasn’t much time left on the clock . Many players had died now, and encounters were becoming rare . Of course, that meant that it was easier to hunt monsters .
“It should be fine as long as I hunt a lot of them… This should have been a good opportunity, but I wasn’t able to see anyone fighting with strong monsters that they tamed . ”
This was an event where there were players other than those from Congregation of the Holy Swords and Kingdom of the Flame Emperor that you had to watch out for . Everyone was desperate to survive, and so the rewards would also be different .
“Oh, Mi is on the map! And there’s not much time left… Maybe I’ll go and look . I can hunt monsters on the way . ”
And so Sally dashed in the direction that Mi was in . Any monsters that were in her path were quickly dispatched with a single hand .
“Oboro, ‘Binding Barrier’! ‘Quintuple Slash’!”
They couldn’t attack her if they couldn’t move . In that case, she could use her skills to repeatedly deal powerful attacks . They weren’t particularly difficult, with only simple attacks and moderate HP . Which meant they were nothing to Sally .
“Oomph . Is she over there…woah…Mi is wreaking havoc as well . ”
The sight she saw was of Mi burning down both monsters and players . Pillars of fire rose in the wasteland that Mi was standing in, and it was clear to see that a horrible battle had been waged here .
“So that must be the Ignis that Maple was talking about . I think that I’ll watch them for a while . ”
Sally used her webs to climb up into a tree so that she wouldn’t be ambushed by other players . Up here, she would notice them as soon as they approached her .
“Now, will any players or monsters come… Hmm?”
As Sally squinted up ahead, she saw a familiar man with white armor and a sword . It was Payne .
“I knew that I was on everyone’s map, but I didn’t expect you to come . ”
Mi drank down a potion so that she would be ready to fight .
“Yeah, I already hunted enough monsters . And so I came to check the strength of my rival . Ray, ‘Awakening . ’”
As Payne said this, a baby dragon with silver scales appeared from his ring . It was about the size of a large bird and it folded its wings as it landed on Payne’s shoulder .
“What a coincidence . I have also killed enough monsters . ”
Mi said as she called out Ignis and activated ‘Flame Empress . ’ At the same time, Payne unsheathed his sword .
That was the signal .
“‘Heavy Fire’!”
“‘Light of the Holy Blade’!”
Fire came from Mi’s side, while Payne let out a steam of light . The wasteland roared and thundered .

“Ignis, ‘Linked Flame’!”
“Ray, ‘Protection of the Holy Dragon . ’”
Both of them applied the buffs and then charged forward . Mi had no intention of backing away, and she used ‘Flair Accel’ to move .
“‘Blue Flame’! ‘Explosive Flame’!”
“Holy Blade of Exterminating Evil’! ‘Holy Light’!”
Every time they clashed, effects scattered violently, and the skills offset each other . And all of them were the kind of high-power skills that could one-shot a whole group .
When Payne swung his sword, Mi would dodge it and unleash her magic . However, they never hit Payne because he always blocked them and launched a counterattack .
“Ray, ‘Enlarge,’ ‘Breath of the Holy Dragon . ’”
“Ignist! ‘Enlarge,’ ‘Undying Flame’!”
The breath that Ray unleashed and the flames from Ignis bounced between them . The ground was torn apart, but so far they seemed to be an even match .
“I see . That’s a good monster . ”
“Your dragon as well . However… If you’re still hiding your powers, then I’ll incinerate you where you stand . ”
Mi looked like she wasn’t going to hold back at all . She recovered her MP and then gave the order to Ignis .
“Ignis, ‘Flame of the Phoenix,’ ‘Fire to my body . ’”
The first skill cast a buff on Mi, and then Ignis transformed into a ball of fire . The fire surrounded Mi and began to spread out through the ground .
“I see . This won’t be easy then . Ray, ‘Holy Protection . ’”
“Let’s go! ‘Inferno’!”
As Mi shouted, blazing flames were unleashed, and everything that was around Mi was burned away . It was blindingly bright, and yet the light that emitted from Payne was just as bright . They collided and exploded . The destruction on the surrounding forest and fields was immense, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the air .
When the dust began to settle, Mi stood there, unharmed and with just a little reduced HP . And there was Payne, his armor burnt .
“Tsk . I was trying to force you to use Ray’s most powerful attack…but you got by with damage reduction and the power of the holy sword… What a trickster you are . ”
“Haha . Well, I can’t give you that much information . ”
“You weren’t even trying to defeat me from the beginning… But don’t assume that I’ll return the favor, okay?”
“Yeah, sure . If you insist on continuing . ”
Payne held up his sword as if accepting her challenge .
Just as they were about to start round two, the sound of a tree being bent echoed behind them .
They detected that someone was approaching, and so they agreed on a ceasefire as they looked in that direction . They were greeted by a storm of lasers flying out from the forest .
“What…!? Ray!”
“Tsk . Time to go! Ignis!”
Payne and Mi both jumped on their monsters and got off of the ground .
After a moment, what emerged from the forest as it tore down trees, was a giant crocodile that was over ten meters long . If there was one strange thing about it, it was that it was shooting lasers from its mouth .
“…I’ve lost interest . Payne! We can continue this fight another time . ”
“Yeah, I don’t mind . Because I got to see ‘Inferno . ’”
And like that, the fight came to an end without a clear victor, due to an intruder .
As for Sally, she had witnessed the entire scene .
“Ah . That’s…Maple…”
She saw that Maple’s icon was moving quickly on the map . And on closer inspection, the crocodile wasn’t the one who was shooting the lasers . There was a ball of wool with a cannon stuck in its mouth .
“More! More! Let’s run around until the end!”
She heard the familiar voice . Sally watched her go off into the distance with an exasperated expression .
