BXBX NOVEL Chapter 505
Chapter 505
After safely conquering the 3rd Floor Area, Maple and the others split up into various areas.
The time when everyone would gather again without fail was during the battle to obtain the next [Magic of the Demon King].
After successfully completing the previous area, Maple and Sally set their sights on the 5th Floor Area.
None of the guild members had made any progress in that certain floor. Not to mention, Lily and Wilbert had just given them the opportunity. By aligning their progress with other areas, they’d be able to collect the [Magic of the Demon King] efficiently.
In the 5th Floor Area, the area would be conquered according to the slowest player in the party. For that reason, it was important to be on the same page. As such, the appointment for the next attack would be based on Maple’s schedule.
Today, Sally used her free time to continue dueling against the two as usual.
“I’m feeling pretty good today!”
“I wish I could hit more accurately…”
Not only against Sally, Velvet and Frederica were also having a match at the same time.
Due to the difference in compatibility, Velvet would win 7 out of the 10 matches, but whether Velvet would get the better of her by engaging in a close combat, or whether Frederica would overwhelm Velvet with a barrage depended on how they were doing that day.
However, there was only one thing that didn’t change despite the condition—and that was Sally’s victory.
Sally finished all the matches today, and after taking a breather at the training center, she began to express her thoughts.
“Why didn’t Frederica use her [Mana Ocean]?”
“Hm, I won’t use it.”
“Come to think of it, she’ll be quite a hassle with that skill activated.”
Frederica’s trick that they only witnessed once at the last event. By literally unleashing an endless and countless barrage of magic one after another, Frederica would probably be able to defeat Velvet. Or even Sally, for that matter.
The two stared at Frederica, thinking there must be a reason why she wasn’t using it even though she had that much power.
“Velvet is fine, but if I show it to Sally, she’d come up with a counter right away, right? In the future, we might go up against each other, so I’ll save it until that moment.”
The milestone event. PvP competitions were also listed there. Although it was still unclear as to what form that will take, the fact remained that Frederica could go up against Sally.
“I won’t let you win.”
“I won’t lose, at least for now.”
“Ugh, and that’s why I especially saved that skill for the last.”
Frederica countered Sally, who confidently exuded pressure, even though she felt somewhat intimidated.
While watching that, Velvet looked back on today’s duel.
For better or worse, Frederica was the same as always. Velvet already figured out her tactics to some extent, and unless Frederica used [Mana Ocean], their current status quo wouldn’t change.
Compared to Frederica, Sally had changed. When they dueled for the first time, Velvet was taken aback by Sally’s skill. But now, Sally’s movements were so precise and flawless that Velvet began to suspect that she was cutting corners back then.
Not only did Sally dodge the thunderstorms like a champ, she could also handle surprise attacks despite being stunned and attack using new devices.
It was over in a short time. Sally was so flawless, Velvet wondered who on earth she was preparing to fight.
“…”
No, Velvet already knew who Sally was planning to fight. However, she couldn’t think of a scenario in which that opponent could deal against this Sally.
Is there any chance of it being a good fight in the future?
As she was pondering about Sally’s never-ending progress and her ever-honing skills, their gazes collided
“There’s no point in doing something if you don’t give it your all.”
“…You’re right.”
Velvet shook her head slightly, trying to be conscious of her usual attitude, wondering if it was reflected in her expression.
By not cutting corners, Maple would have no choice but to become her opponent. Unless she overcame all the hardships, Sally’s long-cherished wish wouldn’t come true.
“I understand why you’re hesitating.” (Velvet)
“…Yes, thank you.”
“?”
Time waits for no one. The interpersonal battles that many players were waiting for, each with their own reasons, would eventually come.

Isn’t the 10th Floor too wide?

Where are you starting from?
423 Name: Anonymous Archer
The 1st Floor Area is over, and now I’m heading to the 8th Floor Area. I thought I’d start by getting rid of things that I deem troublesome…
424 Name: Anonymous Tower Shield-User
I heard there’s a riddle that you have to solve there.
425 Name: Anonymous Archer
Yes!
This is really difficult…
There’s almost no walkthrough to be found…
426 Name: Anonymous Great Sword-User
If you start from the 1st Floor Area like my guild, the 8th Floor Area would be at the end, so maybe that’s why there aren’t many guides.
427 Name: Anonymous Tower Shield-User
I heard things are going well for you.
428 Name: Anonymous Archer

Because everyone specializes in one trick.
You can deal explosive damage in a suitable environment.
431 Name: Anonymous Wizard
But how often do you find this ‘suitable environment’, really…?
432 Name: Anonymous Spear-User
I wonder if it’s viable to specialize in just one trick?
433 Name: Anonymous Great Sword-User
Those are valid points.
Well, if you encounter any problems, just call me and I can provide you with information.
Although, it’s limited to the places I’ve conquered!
434 Name: Anonymous Archer
That’s more than enough.
Thank you…

I want to focus on the quest for now.
436 Name: Anonymous Great Sword-User
Let’s hope on an accidental discovery.
437 Name: Anonymous Spear-User
If that’s how easy it is, I’d have a seven-pronged spear that emits fire and ice by now.
438 Name: Anonymous Wizard
I know, but I still need to find it.
439 Name: Anonymous Tower Shield-User
I should try to look for one, too.
The disparity is widening.
440 Name: Anonymous Archer
It may or may not be suitable for you.
Even if my magic gets stronger, it doesn’t mesh well.

There isn’t.
There’s none to begin with.
