Chapter 293

Defense Specialization and After the Preliminaries

851 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

Well, the preliminary is over .

852 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

It will take a while for the results to come out, but no one died in my guild, so I have high hopes .

853 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

You sure are strong .

854 Name: Anonymous Magic User

I was reminded of just how useful tamed monsters are .

855 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

They really are strong . There were a few times that I would have died without my monster .

856 Name: Anonymous Archer

Well, strong players are strong with or without monsters .

857 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

There were a few places where no one would go .

Places that people purposely avoided .

858 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

That sounds like it might involve one of our members .

859 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

Of course .

Maples position was displayed on the map the whole time, and everyone ignored it .

Thats no surprise .

860 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

I went and saw for myself . Only a chosen few could get close to that .

Most would get caught in it and die .

861 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

I heard explosions regularly and thought that something crazy was happening .

I cant do stuff like that .

862 Name: Anonymous Magic User

And I hope you stay that way .

Dont turn the field into a land of death as if its the normal thing to do .

863 Name: Anonymous Archer

Yes, stay as you are .

Dont change .

864 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

So, anyone who got close to Maple ended up dying, right? What was she doing?

865 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

It seemed like she was luring in monsters by using herself as bait .

I saw the monsters rushing out of the forest and being slaughtered one after another . It was like a horror movie .

866 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

So, Maple was using herself as bait for the whole event

867 Name: Anonymous Magic User

What do you mean?

868 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

Near the end, she got inside a ridiculously large crocodile and ran a lap around the field .

She was pretty sad that she couldnt get the footage of it .

869 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

How the hell did that even happen?

870 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

I doubt there is any point in asking .

Is it within the realm of reason?

871 Name: Anonymous Archer

Is she even playing the same game as everyone else? I feel like her goal isnt the same .

872 Name: Anonymous Magic User

So thats what I was trampled by I was wondering what the hell that laser shooting crocodile was .

No wonder . Crocodiles dont even need to use lasers .

872 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

I wonder if shes going to get even stronger .

Shes always with her tamed monster . I wouldnt be surprised if she learned all of the skills .

873 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

Syrup has gotten a lot stronger .

Im sure youll be able to see just how much in the main event .

874 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

So it is getting stronger

Its crazy that there isnt a limit .

875 Name: Anonymous Magic User

I guess Im looking forward to it, even though Im scared .

876 Name: Anonymous Archer

I never stop being scared .

877 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

Its not easy to get used to .

I thought I was used to Maple, and then she whipped out those tentacles .

Like that, the preliminary ended, and everyone waited for the results to be announced .

The management room had calmed down now, and they were working on confirming the rankings . It was filled with names that they all recognized .

It seems like there were no surprises this time .

Well, stronger players get stronger monsters . It cant be helped . Perhaps we should have put more emphasis on PvP .

Yes . We will do that next time .

They went over their mistakes while they worked . Once they were done, they moved to observing the movements of players, as they always did .

Hey, did we add any area bosses?

Nonot exactly .

Some players might think that we did .

A lot of people seem to have gotten caught in them .

Mis flames, Paynes torrent of light, Izus explosions, Kasumis forest of mist, and Maplesindescribable thing .

All of them had the atmosphere of an area boss .

You could say that the terrain and rules matched their combat style . Interesting

This is serious .

I guess we have to look at each one . Well leave the good points and change the bad .

And like that, they played Maples footage first, as if to get the most shocking thing out of the way . They saw that the prairie had changed greatly due to the effect of several skills . It was the place that Maple had stayed in .

That flowerahI see .

Even if her location is exposed, there are no players that would go to where Maple is . That thing is a monster luring machine .

This is not it . This is not what youre supposed to

I know how you feel .

It was our mistake for letting her learn about it in the jungle last time

However, they continued to watch the footage . And when they saw Maple in the crocodiles mouth, they became very excited .

How does she fit in so snugly?

It was a good thing that we erased its stomach . She would have exploded it from the inside .

Yes, we cant have monsters with insides .

They nodded in relief . The incident with the octopus had made them change it . However, a few seconds later, the crocodile that they had praised so much was being used as a car .

Why doesnt she get out!

I just dont understand it at all . But I suppose it does move fast .

We should have made the fangs use piercing attacks

After that, they looked through the other scenes and threw out ideas on adjustments they could make .

Now Im worried for the monsters in the main event

I hope they wont turn into toys After all, they will be attacking as a party this time .

Its the boss that is supposed to be doing the attacking .

Theyre already acting like area bosses . There is basically no difference now .

Well, thats true .

They were especially strong with their tamed monsters . However, that just meant they needed to send out monsters that could deal with that . And so they looked at the data for the monsters they had prepared . Their eyes were full of hope and anxiety .
