’ and ‘Heavy Body’ were skills that required MP and STR besides VIT.

‘Iron Body’

Doubles damage received by Fire and Electric elements.

Reduces non-magic damage by 30%.

MP cost: 50.

The effect lasts for 2 minutes.

Cooldown is 5 minutes.

Required stats to learn: 50 MP and 80 VIT.

‘Heavy Body’

Provides immunity to knockbacks.

Completely restricts movement if STR is lower than VIT.

MP cost: 10.

The effect lasts for 1 minute.

Cooldown is 3 minutes.

Regarding the first one, not only Maple can’t learn it, but its effect is also weak.

Increasing her MP stat instead of something that lets her take almost no damage is something Maple can’t allow herself to do.

With the second one, not being able to move is quite a problem.

“I found where I can get them! Alright, I’ll make a memo.
Just in case I can learn them.
Still…”

Even if she gets ‘Heavy Body’, it’s not so useful for her.

Maple leaves the bulletin board and while thinking about what to do with her skills, she starts walking towards the main street.

“It doesn’t cost me anything to get them, and I’ve also done a lot of research! I’ll get ‘Heavy Body’ just in case and then I’ll see.

Maple sends several messages, and then heads out to the field in order to get ‘Heavy Body’.

She doesn’t have to kill any monsters in the surroundings, as she has learned the exact information about how to obtain it.

After a little while, Maple obtains the skill without any problems.

While Maple was leveling up a bit and wearing down her black armor, some time passes.

Maple, who logs in day in and day out, opens the Guild Home’s door.

The door she opened with vigor was the one leading towards the 5th layer.

And then, behind that door, there was Sally.

Sally, being a little surprised to see Maple going through the door with such energy, begins to talk.

“Ah, Maple.
The event starts today.
What will you do? Solo or with eight people?”

Sally believes she’d do it alone, as there’s no one behind Maple.

“Neither solo nor with eight!”

“So…?”

“I’ll go with you this time!”

Maple had sent her a message before.

She wrote that she’d like to participate with Sally if it was possible.

There’s no member in ‘Maple Tree’ that wouldn’t go on an expedition with Sally.

“It’s been a while since we played together, hasn’t it?”

Maple said that, and Sally, who was inexpressive, immediately smiled.

“Sounds good! So, what is your objective?”

“Of course, no damage!”

“I have trained my evasion a lot during the 5th layer, so I’m not weak.”

“I’m perfectly prepared to protect you!”

With that, they immediately head towards the tower where the event is taking place.

And so, they gracefully pick up their pace.
