Tôi Không Thích Bị Đau Nên Muốn Dồn Hết Điểm Vào Phòng Thủ. - Chương 2: Chuyên thủ và quân đội Ma Vương 2.

Here is the translation in Vietnamese, keeping the line breaks and novel style, without markdown or explanations:

Maple and the others borrowed the power of 【Gathering Holy Sword】, 【Emperor of Flames】, 【Thunder Storm】, and 【Rapid Fire】, and set out to defeat the Demon King with the best possible members they could conceive.

From the day it was decided that all members currently present could be gathered, Maple had been absorbing the knowledge acquired by Pain's top guild, which had been proceeding with conquests first.

The Demon King's attack methods are diverse, and the patterns change with each intrusion. When the four top guilds combined all the attack patterns they had seen, the fact that there were patterns each guild did not know proved that the Demon King was not an easy opponent.

Maple and the others memorized these known patterns.

This is the minimum condition for achieving the difficult goal of a single clear. If they cannot respond to known patterns, there is no point in thinking about how to respond to unknown attacks.

Even while moving toward the Demon King, the members of 【Maple Tree】 were reviewing which skills to use against which attacks.

"Maple especially needs to remember properly."

"Un! It's okay!"

The defense is Maple. If she properly matches 【Devoted Love】 to the enemy's attack, attacks that would normally require an invincible skill can be turned into chances.

What needs to be noted are fixed damage, defense penetration, and skill cancellation during activation. By memorizing how many of the known attacks fall into these categories, Maple's defensive ability will truly demonstrate its value.

The review is perfect. Numerous action patterns are firmly memorized in Maple's mind.

"Of course, there will be many situations requiring improvisation, so let's focus. Coordination with other guilds through improvisation can never be fully completed."

"I'll do my best! I can't lose!"

Although they have fought many times as enemies and allies, the seamless coordination like with 【Maple Tree】 guild members is difficult.

However, the number of set plays combining each person's skills, which were pre-arranged, is large, and preparations to reduce situations requiring improvisation were not neglected.

"We did what we could. It's just a matter of hitting them, right?"

"Yeah. We also want to deliver victory to the two of them."

"Leave the attack to us!"

"Leave the backup to me. This time there are many reliable allies. My arms are getting tired!"

"Today the [Library of the Divine Realm]'s pull is also good. My bookshelf also seems eager for the Demon King conquest."

Demon King conquest. As they head toward the set great goal, their morale and concentration draw near to the decisive moment.

Thus, Maple and the others reached an area that, until now, was the only one in the ten-layer map that they could not set foot in. High mountains continue, and the path to the depths is closed off by multiple gates that can only be unlocked if one possesses the "Demon King's Power."

However, Maple and the others, who have already gathered all the "Demon King's Power," have the right to proceed deeper.

A cave continuing beyond the mountains. The first door serving as its entrance. A large door with the same design as the boss room. It once again reminded them that the battle with the Demon King is drawing near.

"Ooh! It opened!"

Maple's "Demon King's Power・Ⅰ" reacted, and the door opened with a rumble.

Opening doors in order, all "Demon King's Power" is needed to reach the Demon King.

"Monsters will appear, but [Maple Tree] should just hold back if possible. Until the boss battle, we will mainly attack with magic's preemptive attack and long-range attacks."

"Yes!"

Since this conquest is not solely by 【Maple Tree】, as Pain said, there are sufficiently many players skilled in magic secured.

Frederica, Hinata, Myrril, Mi, since we called in assistants, we should rely on them when we can.

If we use Maple's 【Machine God】, we will conserve resources and skills with long cooldowns, and proceed through the path using only MP consumption that can be recovered with potions anytime, with magic that can unleash high-power and wide-area attacks.

Important skills are all conserved. The target to wield them is decided as the Demon King.

"【Scorching Heat】!"

"Nn, 【Multiple Blades】!"

"【Divine Punishment】!"

【Gravity Axe】

In the not-so-wide cave, magic with power that should not be received by anyone blows away.

Monsters with the appearance of demons, beasts raising roars, knights with polished swords. Though they are minor monsters, each has been given abilities befitting the last dungeon of the tenth layer.

Nevertheless, Maple and the others, who are the Demon King army on the human side, are worthy of challenging the Demon King, and it is impossible for them to stop their steps even at this last dungeon, however minor the monsters may be.

"Really, the magic firepower of those who mainly use magic is different. Unless something utterly unexpected happens, they probably won't have many chances on the way."

"Be careful and just watch [Cover]!"

"Un. I think so."

Not only magic, but Wilbert's arrows and Shin's 【Breaking Sword】 are also kept in reserve. Experts in close combat who wield weapons are also present, just in case.

Players who can handle the monsters here on their own, waiting beyond the storm-like magical onslaught.

They won't lose here. It is not due to carelessness or arrogance, but certainty.

"Nn, this cave is quite long. I also want automatic attack magic."

While accurately eliminating approaching monsters, Frederica says that.

"Maybe the summoning skills I have are close to automatic attack."

"Some of my traps too..."

Lilly, Marx, of course Maple, and Kanade's magic book also have skills that summon subordinates.

Instructions are simple, and they go towards enemies on their own. Even if called automatic attack, it's not far off.

Though not as common as one might say, there are certainly players who have them. They are positioned like that.

Especially for magic users, they can be used as a means to prepare a frontline on the spot, and they are also good compatibility because they can increase magic buff targets.

"Since I can't multiply with skills, I'm looking for magic without that."

Frederica is chatting, but at the same time cooperating with Mi and others to blow away monsters halfway.

"I see. If I could increase the number with multiple magic, maybe it could match my summons too?"

Lilly's summoned subordinates are considerable, but if [Chant] by Notes increases the number and [Sea of Mana] is used to multiply multiple magic further, matching them is not an unrealistic talk either.

Based on the fact that the guild they belong to is 【Gathering Holy Sword】, if they don't aim for that much output and just focus on buffs, they can probably win against most monsters, but Frederica had a clear reason to aim higher.

"Isn't pressing down with numbers effective in some cases?"

Frederica glances at Sally. Sally's strongest is one-on-one.

As a tactic against Sally, who is not particularly good at area attacks and continues fighting through evasion, simple pressing with sheer numbers is not a bad hand.

Frederica does not want to let Sally escape to victory, seeing it as an interpersonal battle at the event.

"I wanted to show even more activity if we made it to the Demon King battle..."

"Too bad. Let's expect it another time."

Sally brushes off Frederica like that, and looks at the front's ravage.

The march inside the cave is progressing without saying much. Soon after passing the cave, they will reach the Demon King without struggling here and there.

The prepared forces are beyond complaint.

Although the opportunity to act does not come at all because it is too smooth, Sally's consciousness turns a little ahead of what is in front of him.

The last event to be held soon for Maple and Sally. Whether it is PVE or PVP, who and how to participate. In the end, the choice has not been decided yet.

“……”

“Sally?”

Nhận ra Sally có vẻ như đang ngả người lên trời, Maple gọi một tiếng và Sally mới tỉnh táo trở lại.

“Hử?... À, vì mọi người đều mạnh đến vậy thì chắc chắn cho đến khi gặp Ma Vương cũng không cần lo lắng gì cả”

“Vậy nên tập trung vào Ma Vương nhé!”

“Ừ. vậy làm”

Nhìn xa nhưng không được vấp ngã ngay trước mắt. Trước tiên, thứ cần đối mặt ngay lúc này chính là Ma Vương.

Vậy Sally tập trung vào dịch trước mặt. Dù có thể diễn giải theo cách khác thì cũng chỉ là dời hoãn quyết định một chút xíu.

Dễ dàng, cuộc hành quân chất chồng xác tiếp tục. Không có thứ gì có thể dừng bước này cả.
