Chapter 406

After exploring the 9th floor for a decent amount of time, Maple and the others had a good idea about which areas were better than others.

As they had also gathered a lot of info, they gathered at the guild home for an interim report.

To make it convenient and easier, they placed the 9th floors map on the center of a big table and surrounded it to fill in their info.

Ohh, its quite the spectacle now that weve gathered it like this.

The data Sally gathered on the monsters were very detailed about their location, hiding spots, their characteristics and the effects they can produce were all listed intricately on the map.

I was in charge of materials and Sally was in charge of monsters.

Please read it when you get time. It has more info than whats available on the net and Ive also tried to write down how we, the Maple Tree, should deal with it as well.

Thats amazing. Knowing how to deal with it beforehand is huge.

Thats true, Ill take a look at it for now. I am good at memorizing and itll probably be better if theres more people who can relay the information instantly except Sally.

Given Kanades memory, it would take him less than a day to memorize all of this. In fact, he would probably be done even before the meeting is done.

While the information was listed in a manner easy to understand, they couldnt really bring it out to check every time during battles. And thus it should be memorized if possible.

Well, its mostly just one line in battle scenarios with Mai and Yui.

True.

Get close and punch. And thats it. If that doesnt work, change the attribute and punch.

If it lands, they win. As that works even with a portion of the bosses, the two dont really need to think much during battles. Most enemies dont even get to change into their 2nd form or use a different moveset against them.

We need to take a look at it, huh?

Right. While theyre weak monsters, its not like a punch will do the trick for us.

They generally tend to go for endurance battles unless a big move is used. They need to be extra careful against monsters which use troublesome abilities.

While they were comparing and adjusting like that, all of them received a message at the same time.

Ah, more info about the next event!

Lets see theres more details now.

While the outline of the 10th event was announced, the details were yet to be disclosed. And that was finally done just now with this announcement.

All of them opened up the message and read it.

Divided between countries and battles will take place between two camps. It seems the country is decided by the one you join the day before the event. It seems people who have yet to reach the 9th floor can also be chosen and the ones not chosen will be distributed among the teams.

I see, I see.

And it seems the terrain and monsters will stay as is. Thats to be expected. Oh, theres something interesting here as well.

The monsters in your camp wont attack you, eh? Also, considering how it says the monsters will listen to certain commands depending on the items used on it, does this mean that theyll be like tamed monsters?

They hadnt expected this bit of info. If a camp has more defensive forces other than the players, itll be hard for others to attack just by taking the player count into account.

The effect only lasts for 5 minutes but if one uses the monsters abilities well, it will result in a very effective offense and defense.

And besides, even if the effect runs out, it isnt like the monsters will come attacking them. They just wont listen to detailed instructions and so they could still be relied upon.

As long as one brings them out to the battlefield, the opponents cant ignore them.

It seems you cant just bring any monster you like, thats a point to keep in mind.

There was more info regarding the monsters for all players to safely partic.i.p.ate, it seems a portion of the monsters abilities would be decreased. Moreover, it looks like there will be areas where players over a certain level will get a restriction on some abilities looks to be dividing areas depending on player level.

Fighting in areas of your player level sounds good. Ive leveled up quite a bit so I wonder if Ill get those restrictions.

If players like Kanade, Mai and Yui get restricted, then most players who come to the 9th floor would be restricted as well.

The three of them possessed combat abilities unbefitting of their level which allowed them to fight but as Sally said, most players in the 9th floor would have a much higher level.

And so, if even they get restrictions on their abilities, only low level players would be able to lead in these areas.

On top of all this, it seems the monsters will be making an all-out attack on the opponent camp at a fixed interval as well.

The general strategy would be to take that opportunity to launch a full on attack.

It also says that the people of the city will partic.i.p.ate in defense!

Ohh. If thats the case then defense will probably be pretty solid. The NPCs will use cannons or the like, right?

That said, we dont know how strong theyll be as the numbers arent made public so we cant really fully rely on them either.

Ah, thats true, I guess.

Its as Sally said. The NPCs are only meant to be supporting and so one can a.s.sume that that alone wont be enough for a perfect defense.

The time period is 3 days in terms of accelerated time. That, or until a player touches the opponents throne

Maple nodded as she read that part. It would appear that an early conclusion was also possible. One could also aim for turning the tables with a single successful attack as well.

Moreover, in the case of no players reaching the throne, the camp with the least casualties would win.

It would probably be quite essential to strengthen the defense line to block out invasions. Strong enough to stop individually strong players like Maple, Payne, Mii or Velvet when they try to force their way through.

However, the next line strictly suppressed them from pulling off such an act.

Youre out if you die even once, eh? Thats quite strict.

Thats how much a single person dropping out means, then. After all, it would mean that the enemys forces would surely decrease.

If you are to drop out from a single death, it would prove hard to charge in. It would be crucial to stay alive in the frontlines where its extremely easy to get hit.

If you were to keep failing attacks, you would eventually be at a number disadvantage which would ultimately connect to a loss.

Of course, despite that, the reversal of tides is surely possible through a sneak attack so one cant really let their guard down at any time.

Ohh? Theres something amazing written as well, have a look, everyone.

Hearing Chrome say that, Maple started scrolling through the message again. Before she could figure out which part it was, Sally started reading it out loud.

Monsters within a certain range of players will be considered as party members. Is this it?

Thats the one. This, with Maples

In the range of Self-offering Love

Thats true.

Everyone present there realized how strong that could be. Normally, her ability only applies to the party, but as its range expands, the number of players who have the same defensive power as Maple will increase.

And that would make holding a defensive line very easy. Moreover, the fact that Maples skill is easy to recognize will be a big plus here. Even without any explanation, many players know what will happen when Maple turns into an angel.

Ill do my best to make the most of it!

Yeah, you do that. Or thats what I wanna say but were talking about the event here but are we going to be in the same camp?

Now that you mention it, we didnt really decide that properly, huh?

Right~. I just figured wed be together.

Ms. Maple, what would you like to do?

I wanna ask you guys too.

Right the strategies and everything else comes after that.

I see, thats true. Hmm I would like to fight alongside you all.

Everyone nodded as if they knew Maple would say that. And with that, Maple Trees course of action had been decided.

Is that okay with you, Sally?

Me? Yeah. If its okay with Maple, its alright with me too.

Then the Maple Tree will be in the same camp!

Now that thats decided, they can start deciding more specifics about the event such as the discussion of fighting together with The Aggregation of Holy Swords and which country theyll pick.

Then lets decide on the details as well. Mai and Yui will probably be targeted a lot since theyll be easy to defeat but would prove a big threat as an enemy.

I-is that so?

Uuuu will it okay?

Well just have to strengthen our defense that much. Our allied players will also protect you guys, I think. After all, they did see you guys fighting equally with the raid boss during the previous event.

The two were deemed to be ultimate fighting forces for both allies and enemies, thats for sure.

There wasnt much time remaining till the event. And as always, Maple and the others focused on doing things they could as they prepared for the event.
