“He got ‘Predator’… But I don’t know that he won’t use piercing attacks.”

She would lose HP if she used ‘Dedicated Affection.’ If she got attacked with a piercing attack for two ‘Predator’ monsters at that moment, there was a possibility that she could die.
And so Maple chose the safer option.

Maple was getting accustomed to this.
And the way she fought on her own was becoming quite different to when she fought with the other guild members.

“‘Commence Attack’!”

Maple started to fire the guns again and sighed.

“I’m sure he’ll use a lot more attacks…but I haven’t taken damage yet, so maybe I can just repeat what I’m doing now?”

Maple was exuding such dominance that it was hard to tell which of them was the boss.

Even now, he was still blocking all of her bullets, but his HP bar had been chipped away to nearly 80% by her attacks.

“Once more…”

Maple started to walk forward again, but then the Oni’s movements suddenly changed.

He jumped away from the reach of the bullets.
He had shot up 5-meters into the air and was then surrounded by purple fire.

“What!?”

Maple frantically tried to change the angle, but Oni’s flames began to shoot down first.

“I’ll return all of it.”

It was a counter that involved recreating all of the skills that Maple used with fire.

Usually, a great shield was just used to block close-range attacks, but this action burned the entire area with fire and made it hard to see.

A heat ray shot down and fire bullets exploded.
The ground was covered in fire.

“Ugh!? Wh-what’s happening!”

She did not take any damage as there was no piercing ability in the attack, but she could also not see the enemy when she was surrounded by flames that were taller than her.

“F-for now!”

Maple pointed her weapons at the ground and shot into the air with an explosion of flames.

She was aiming for Syrup who was floating in the air.

“‘Dedicated Affection’!”

Angel wings sprouted from the inside of her weapons and Maple’s hair turned to gold.

“Syrup!”

Translations by AsianHobbyist Website Maple jumped onto Syrup’s back with force as if she meant to be impaled.
The heat ray followed her.

But Syrup did not take damage due to ‘Dedicated Affection,’ and now that the ground was no longer burning, she could finally see the Oni.

“Counter…?”

None of Maple’s own attacks would be effective when used against her.

Which meant that as long as the Oni was mimicking her attacks, she was completely safe.

“I think I’ll just wait up here until it’s over!”

As the heat ray continued its assault, Maple sat down comfortably on Syrup’s back.
