My attack wasthat, so

Sally muttered while landing down.

Maple fell to her side.

She did not receive any damage although she fell 25 meters high.

What an amazing vitality.

On the other hand, the squids HP and defense are relatively lower.

That is proven because even Sallys attacks are able to wither it down.

It was not strange at all for that giant squid to lose 20% of its HP after receiving an attack from Maple.

With this, we shortened it to three hours

But theres still 3 hours

Maple does not haveAkushokuanymore. They cannot do the same thing again.

Ah, it spat out squid ink again

The sea, it was beautiful, but now

There was nothing that remained from the beautiful blue sea that is now full of squid ink and poison.

Well then, Ill run again okay?

Un. Provoke!

Maple pulled the fishes.

It is possible to dissipate the water that was scattered by the fishes using flame-type attacks, so Sally ran around while making the least needed path she needs.

Its amazing you can run that much

It is possible to lessen the fatigue in-game by getting used to VR games.

One needs to get used to playing for long periods of time to not get tired running around.

That is something that a skill cannot cover.

And after two hours of waiting.

There is only 10% left of the squids HP.

A-re? The fishes

The fishes lost the blue effect that they were clad within and withered in an instant after losing their moisture.

The effect that disappeared floated up and got absorbed by the squids body.

Somethings coming!

I got it!

Maple raises her large shield.

Since there are no stacks left of theAkushoku, she is finally able to use it as a proper shield.

The giant squid shook once, and jumped out of the water while being enveloped by the same blue effects that the fishes had.

That strong blue light firmly supports its giant body.

Its coming!

Cover Move!Cover!

It was the same time that Maple shouted and the squid charged.

Sally was able to dodge while Maple who usedCoverto be sure got thrown back after receiving the attack.

The squid that jumped out of the water entered the other side of the wall of water.

Maples HP Bar was decreased by 40%.

The damage she receives was doubled because ofCover Move/

This is only the second time Sally saw an opponent that was able to get through Maples armored defense.

It powered up?!

Sally usedHealon Maple and followed the giant squid with her eyes.

It was also a chance to attack because it would get near them.

Ill dodge and slash!

Sally pumped herself up, but the squids target was Maple.

Super Acceleration!

Sally targeted the squid that targeted Maple.

She swung her dagger while she received speed reduction.

Triple Slash!

Sally passed through under while releasing six consecutive attacks.

Poison Lance

Maples poisonous lance stabs into the squids head.

Maple also received damage from its charge, but the squid also received huge damages.

It jumped into the water again.

Well defeat it in the next one!

Just a little bit more! Lets do our best!

The two followed the squids movements while getting ready for its charge.

It is to make something out of the valuable chance.

And while that happened, the squid was about to jump out.

Its coming!

Un!

When the two girls raised their weapons.

The squids HP Bar which was infested with poison finally disappeared.

eh?

The squids body became light and dissipated.

The soiled water was purified.

Its shine sparkled like sun rays that reached the waters and gradually disappeared.

for real?

I get that feeling

The two won in an unconvincing manner.

However, a win is a win.

A deep blue magic circle in front of them.

You want to get it?

What about the reward?

n there might be something, so, Ill go search the waters okay?

Please do!

Sally entered the waters.

It is possible to explore thoroughly since the poison disappeared.

I wouldve sent Syrup too if she was a sea turtle

Maple watched Sally swim around, but Sally returned after a while.

There was one squid tentacle

What about a medal?

Un I think that there was none. I searched properly around the corals too most of all, I dont think that the rewards would be placed in a place that is hard to tell

Thats true

The two girls stepped into the magic circle although disappointed that there were no medals.

The two of them who thought that they would return to the top of the cliff did not expect that they would be teleported underwater.

I-I cant breathe! W-What should we do?!

n, n? Maple! You can breathe!

Eh?! Ah, a-re? Its true

She can also say her words properly.

It looks like there was no possibility of drowning although there was the feeling of water.

What a mysterious place

Is this thepeaceful sea?

Just like Sally has said, the place where the two girls are was a silent sea.

It was a blue sea that if the two of them did not say anything, they could hear the bubbles in intervals.

It seems like they are in the bottom of the sea, as well as near the water surface.

In that space where calming blue has ruled, where one might fall asleep anytime, there was a blue treasure box that seemed to be enveloped by corals.

Ill open it okay?

There was two medals and two scrolls inside.

Maple kept the medal.

Sally took the scroll and looked at its information.

Whats the skill name?

Ancient Sea, it can be learned if you have water-type skills it looks like you can summon the fishes enveloped by blue light from earlier

What Sally meant by the fishes earlier were the fishes that they saw schools of when they fought against the squid.

Sally read it, and found out that there was reallyDecrease 10 AGIability included with those water.

It is a skill that Maple has no use of, but Sally would be able to increase the range of strategies she could take with it.

Ah isHydrano good?

Well, I think that thats not water-type

I guessed so

Although they tried to be sure, Maple was unable to learn it.

Maple decided to leave it aside for now and put the scroll into her inventory.

The two girls laid around after closing the treasure box.

They are very tired after the long fight and the ruins exploration on the fifth day.

The fifth day started with meeting Kanade.

The two girls really felt that today was a day full of happenings.

It might be okay taking it slow for one day

Ahaha thats true

The two girls decided to sleep while thinking that it might be possible to take some leisure time if they have enough medals.

It was a good place to sleep as well.

Lets rest for a bit

I agree

The peaceful sea that enveloped the two girls was the most comfortable bed that they had up until now.
