Chapter 335

Defense Specialization and the Floating Castle 3

“It-it’s amazing . ”

“Yes . There must be an entrance somewhere...”

They had reached the base of the mountain, which was really the bottom of a cliff . The side of the mountain practically shot up in a vertical line towards the sky .

It looked very difficult to climb . Especially for someone like Maple .

“There is no way that they would require players to have the ability to fly or have something like Syrup . So there must be a normal route that leads into the castle somewhere . ”

“That’s true . ”

It would be possible to climb it by using Syrup or Helping Hand to move the shields . Sally could also use Web User . However, it was clear that those were not the normal solutions .

“And we decided to do this the proper way this time...”

“Yes . Let’s try going around the cliff . We might find something . ”

Luckily none of the monsters in the forest were a threat to them, so exploration was not a problem . And so they killed the monsters while walking alongside the side of the cliff . Eventually, there was a change, and they stopped .

It was a place in between two mountains that reached high into the sky, like a valley . Perhaps others had passed through here, as there was a path through it with no grass . And in the far back of this valley, they could see that there was a gate made of pure white material .

“I guess the surrounding mountains are like a natural wall?”

“Ohh . This must be the entrance!”

“Yes . Well, shall we attack the castle?”

“Okay! I’m all prepared!”

They brandished their weapons and headed straight for the gate . After they had walked far enough that the gate could be seen clearly, something teleported to the other side of the gate . And then they heard that giant roar echoing again .

At the same time, winged humanoid dragons called dragonewts flew out as the gate opened .

“Maple . Here they come!”

“Yes! ‘Deploy all Weapons,’ ‘Commence Attack’!”

If they attacked from the front, she just had to fight back with a wall of bullets . And so Maple unleashed her ammunition onto them . However, the dragonewts all twisted their bodies and dodged them as they moved in .

“What! I can’t hit them!”

“I doubt it has anything to do with aim! We won’t be able to keep them away!”

“Okay!”

It’s not like they weren’t good at close quarters combat . If anything, that would allow them to use their most powerful attacks . Just then, the dragonewts that had been flying in the lead dodged the last of Maple’s bullets and then dove down towards Maple . She could not dodge the attack, and it slammed into her shoulder and then bit her . At the same time, she was also hit by its breath . Her weapons shattered .

“Maple!”

“Th-that was a little surprising...but I seem to be fine! Do it, Sally!”

Maple’s body was more durable than any weapon . She would not get injured from mere dragon bites . As if to return the favor, Maple shot at it point blank with her cannon, and the two Predators on either side of her attacked it as well .

“‘Frozen Earth’!”

“‘Quintuple Slash’!”

Just as the dragonewt tried to jump up, the ground froze over, and its feet were stuck to the earth . It could no longer dodge attacks like this, and so Maple’s strongest cannon fire and Sally’s chain of attacks slammed into it .

Obviously it could not survive this, and its body faded into light .

It had all happened in a flash . But there were still more of them headed towards Maple and Sally . Unlike players, monsters did not retreat . That made things easier .

“You’re better at counter attacks, aren’t you?”

“Yes . I think it’s easier . ”

Maple just needed to wait for things to jump on her . Sally just needed to shred them and find every opening . The fact that the dragonewts could land a clean hit and still do zero damage meant that their fates would be identical to that of the lizards and great snake .

“Phew . We did it . ”

“Yes! I’m glad there were no piercing attacks . ”

After successfully crushing the pack of dragonewts, they went through the gate and entered the castle . Some of the castle was inside of the mountain and some of it was on its surface . And they weren’t quite sure where the hallway they were walking down was located .

The floor and walls were made of the same white material . And while it wasn’t made of cloud, it still reminded them that they were on the fifth layer .

“Where do you think the goal is, Maple?”

“Hmm... Maybe at the highest point?”

“Oh, that’s what I was thinking . ”

Currently, while there were rooms on both sides, the hallway was just a straight, single path . They didn’t know when it would branch out .

They both felt that if there was a boss, it would be in the location that was the farthest from the entrance . And so their goal was to reach the top of the castle, which they had got a glimpse of when they first teleported .

After walking for some time, the hallway started to branch out, and dragonewts appeared around corners .

“Ah! There they are again!”

“But I think they’re a little different . Be careful!”
