I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build

Defense Specialization and Daily Life (13)

Maple’s powerful defense skill, [Aegis], managed to deflect the boss’ attack. But in the next moment, the boss transformed into a dragon and soared into the air. Once again, flames spewed from its mouth.

Considering only [Aegis] could block it, it’d be difficult if the same attack were to be repeated. Although they probably wouldn’t be wiped out, but if they didn’t have enough defense resources to protect Mai and Yui, they’d have to forget about winning.

In the current situation, where [Dedicated Affection] couldn’t be used, it’d be counterproductive to start a half-hearted endurance battle.

“It’s [Breath]...!”

“We have to do something about it!”

Mai and Yui couldn’t do anything about the torrent of flames that continued to fall. However, they could still do something about the boss’ ultimate skill, [Breath].

“Okay! Kanade, Iz, lend me your hands!”

“Leave it to me.”

“I’ll stop it to some extent!”

““[Cover]!””

Iz used an item, Kanade blocked the flames using a barrier, while Maple and Chrome used their tower shields to stop the remaining flames. In the next moment, the boss unleashed a deadly fire that scorched everything.

“Sister...!”

“I got it...!”Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at wuxiahere.com

Mai, who was being protected by Chrome, instantly jumped out and brandished 8 sledgehammers.

Without hesitation, Mai stared at the approaching flames and swung out the sledgehammer she was holding.

“[Giant’s Work]!”

This time, Yui stood in front of the incoming hellfire.

What Mai could do, Yui could do as well.

The success was pretty much guaranteed.

“[Giant’s Work]!”

This time, the rolling hellfire was repelled by Yui. Ravaged by its own hellfire, the boss lost all its HP. But when they thought they had won, they saw that the boss still had a small chunk of HP left.

Flames erupted from the boss’ mouth and the burning wall behind it as it regained its stance.

“Uh-oh...”

“Maple!”

“[Atrocity]!”

At Sally’s voice, Maple transformed and jumped forward. Flames engulfed Maple, yet she managed to stop the boss’ flames.

The seven people behind her escaped, and Maple rushed towards the boss, her entire body covered in flames.

A preemptive attack by the boss’ flames, followed by its sharp claws. Maple nullified them with her defense and flew at the boss mid-air.

The flames that burst out of Maple’s mouth burned the boss as the sharp claws shredded its body.

“How about this!?”

Maple bit the boss’ neck.

The HP that everyone had shaved off finally became zero, and the boss—which had been a dragon—reverted back to human.

Then, the flames on the wall subsided and the space shrunk to its original size.

Everything signaled the end of the fierce battle.
