Chapter 18: Defense Specialized and Maintenance

Auu

Kaede and Risa started their activities in a new base town in the second stage, but Kaede was groaning with a dark face.

Unn I also didnt think that there would be a maintenance two weeks before the event. In addition

Right, the two logged in immediately as soon as the maintenance endedbut they were stunned by the contents of the maintenance.

Mainly, Kaede.

The contents of the maintenance wereabout nerfing of some skills and buffing the AI of the field monsters.

The targeted skill name, in the settings of the game, was not cleared, so only those who have them knew it.

And, there was also one thing that changed.

That is.

The implementation of defense ignoring attack skills, and the reduction of pain.

There are three to five kinds of skill per weapon

And its power was very decent

The problem was the skills.

Ugugu

Well that happens all the time for somebody who stands out

Dont mind it, Risa tapped her shoulder.

There are mainly two adjustments related to Kaede.

But, Risa said that thinking about it with a roundabout way, it was three of them.

First, in skill fixes, Bizzare Eater(Akujiki) was fixed.

After the fixes of Bizarre Eater(Akujiki its abilities was limited uses of 10 times per day, and the MP that will be absorbed will be doubled.

It hadnt changed that it was a passive skill, so after receiving attacks ten times with the large shield, the Mirror of the Dark Night will return to a normal large shield. The MP that can be absorbed became double so it can somehow become a magic power tank, but it hasnt changed that it was nerfed.

Next, the buffs of monsters, they are now able to attack from behind, in some cases, they are now able to run away.

This is for stopping Kaede, Risa told Kaede. To Kaede who doesnt seem to understand, Risa explained in details.

Becauseif the AI is buffed, the origin of Maples Absolute defense, the loophole of the white rabbit couldnt be used again right? The white rabbit with buffed AI wouldnt charge for one hour and maybe it was also an unexpected way of taking that for the GMs?

In this maintenance, it prevented the occurrence of an irregular called Kaede, but according to Risa, they couldnt do a maintenance that was clearly aimed to reduce Kaedes specs.

For example deleting the Absolute Defense. That wouldnt happen I think.

Probably though some of the powerful skills that the top players was also nerfed, I think. And it means, one of those is Maples Abominable

n well, I also think it cant be helped. Abominable is very powerful after all. But that fix, huh

Figuring out what Kaede wanted to tell, Risa continued to talk.

With this, Maple will now also receive damage right huh that adjustment is probably countermeasures against Maple

Ugugugugu

Maples endurance was clearly off the balance, so the management sides last resort was only to implement this fix.

Well, ignore defense attack is a very common skill, it was until now that it was very few

When Risa said that, Kaede stuck together her hands and talked apologetically.

Ah Im sorry! I stopped being invincible with this, we cant be an invincible party although you became a dodge shield

Saying that, Kaede apologized to Risa. The twos ideals were a party that both of them has no damage. If it was like this, they cant do it.

That cannot be helped. And, you are now able to receive damage but its not like youre going to receive no damage anymore at all Although the damage effects are being grinded, she wouldnt die even after grinding this much!, that would emphasize the feeling of invulnerability. If you just smile fearlessly, youre still going to be so cool!

Kaede imagined that with an opponent, their only hope was they were able to deal damage, and while laughing like*Fufufu*while receiving their desperate attacks, defeat them when they are exhausted.

Oh it is certainly nice

Youre making a dark smile you know?

Wawa! Y-You didnt see that right now! You did not!

Saying that,*BunBun*she swung her arms. Risa continued while laughing pleasantly.

n but if its like that, I need to increase my HP. Being damaged with defense ignorance is not good is the pain okay?

Well its not that, painful though? Its nothing much compared to real life in addition, the pain is being reduced too, so

I should do my best to get better player skills and block attacks as many as I can and also recovery type skills and equipments, maybe I also need the MP and HP types huh?

If she had those, in the end, it would be like she was invulnerable after all, Risa said.

Ill help you gather equipments! Also, Ill find skills that looks good

I-Is it okay?

Its the game I invited to, if I can play together with Maple, Ill do that at least you know? I mean, you want to go right now?

Thank you!

Well, there are also times when I need help, so

Un! At that time, Ill do my best!

Kaede answered with a wide smile.

Well then lets first acquire skills that can raise HP. Thats the most important one. I know a little too, and after that huh. The events also near, lets hurry!

Oh!

The two jumped into the field.

To acquire new skills, cover Maples weaknesses, and leave good results in the second event.

They are going to do what they can today.
