Maroon Hill has a wide variety of trees, but most of them are maple.

Maple trees are always in full bloom, regardless of the season.

"Ahh

"Yes!"

Kang Ou and Aso fight the bandits under the maple tree.

The Rogit had the same red mane and pig's face as the other manes, but they also had a log as thick as a thigh on their shoulder.

"Be careful. They use a skill called suppression. Conou said, kicking away a Nu bandit.

"What's the inhibition effect?" she asked after dodging the logs.

"Suppression increases the power and speed of the downward blow. ”

"Good!" Aso replied firmly, swinging his sword.

Hack!

She smashed a piece of wood with her sword.

The bandit then withdrew the log and swung downward.

Restrain!

A black haze rises from the logs.

"Be careful. That's suppression!"

Aso quickly turned his body to one side.

ah

Thump!

Thick pieces of wood smashed against the floor, forming a crater the size of Aso's head.

"Take it!"

Aso pushed his sword.

Dear strike!

Swing, stab!

As a result, a white feather (a by-product of the skill) and a small beam of light mixed together and flew through the air.

Kang Ou got rid of his bandit and approached Aso's side.

Then, together with the two of them, they fought Aso's bandits.

Whenever Cono aimed at the upper body of a monster, Aso would aim at its lower body and vice versa.

They work very well together.

Soon after, the bandits fell one by one.

"As expected, when there is such a huge difference in levels, you get levels quickly. ”

Aso smiled.

"Your position is firm. But... Proficiency in the question. It's moving at a fast pace. ”

Aso nodded.

"It's true. Although Knight's Oath was the first skill I learned, it would take a while to reach an intermediate level. ”

"Let's move on. ”

"Good!"

Conou and Aso went to the summit.

Next up is the Hunter Hunter quest. They were Nus who had lost their snare and walked around with the hounds.

Soon after...

Hack!

Conou's sword knocked down a hunter, and Aso managed to kill its hound.

After that, they killed all sorts of different Nus.

There are Nu Lumberjacks, Megaf Magicians, and Nu Bosses! Lumberjacks carry rusty axes, mages can cast basic earth spells, and leaders walk around with their three minions.

They keep going like this, and eventually their surroundings change.

Koo and Aso came to a rocky area.

"Huh, that's..."

Aso pointed in a direction.

......

Hyenas are found on rocks of all sizes.

The hyena is decorated with a red maple leaf pattern.

Conou explained to her: "They are called red hyenas. They are also known as Maple Leaf Dogs. Although they are on the same level as Nuss (level 100), they are more violent and aggressive," Conou explained to her.

Bark!

Five hyenas jumped off the rocks. They go straight to Conou and Aso!

Cono swung his sword diagonally.

Hack!

A hyena fell. However, there are still many remnants.

Two hyenas try to bite Conou's neck and legs with their teeth.

"It didn't happen!"

Conou strode and swung his sword, striking the hyena one at a time.

"Hah!

Aso desperately fights two hyenas.

First, she improved her offensive and defensive abilities through the Knight's Oath, and then adopted new skills.

Important thrust!

The critical blow temporarily marks the opponent's weakness. If hit, then the final attack will not only be a critical hit, but will also deal additional damage.

Aso stabbed a life, causing several orange shards to fall from the hyena's body.

'Oh. '

He had some admiration for the sight.

Life Thrust is a difficult ability to use, as it requires the player to hit a lifeform that only appears instantaneously.

But Aso was able to do it!

"She has good senses. ”

Cono nodded, then refocused on the fight.

A hyena rushed over.

Pare!

Cut off the stomach and got a wound on it.

Cono slammed the wound with his off-hand.

Hack!

Whimper!

The hyena fell, red shards splashing out of its body.

Con'ou thrust into their ranks like an angry beast, wielding his sword ferociously.

Whimper!

Conou's assessment of the red hyena is as follows:

They are stronger than wolves, but weaker than tigers.

That's where they stand.

If his abilities are not halved by Sabera's Contract, then he will be able to kill them in four or five hits.

"With Ed's Cursed Lands, it's even easier. ”

However, he is now unable to make the most of his abilities and Eder is not present.

As a result, it took longer than he expected to pass through the rocky area, which was the territory of hyenas.

"Oh, it's another forest area. She said expectantly.

The floor behind her was littered with red hyena corpses.

"We're almost there," Conou said.

If they just pass through the forested area ahead, they will reach the top of the mountain.

"I've heard the view from the top is beautiful. ”

"Yes. Looking forward to it. ”

Conou never really saw the sunset of the rainbow, and it was said that it could only be seen from the top of the mountain. He had only seen a video of it on Arthur Torry.

Still, he knows how beautiful the scenery is. It should look better face-to-face.

"Good. Let's move on!"

She pushed her fist forward. That's the least she's going to try to do...

Conou grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear?"

Conou focused on his hearing. Aso put her hand on her ear and listened to her surroundings.

。。。

It sounds like something is sweeping through the leaves.

"It sounds like it's being swept away. ”

This is not the sound of the wind blowing on the leaves. Sounds a lot heavier than that.

"It's... No way. ”

Cono recalls what he knew about the Chestnut Mountains.

The bosses of the Chestnut Hills roam freely in the area.

"Let's go to the source of the sound. ”

"Good. ”

They were supposed to keep walking, but instead they walked to the side of the forest.

。。。

The sound will only get clearer.

"What's that?"

There is a red "thing" between the grass and the tree.

"That's the boss monster of Chestnut Mountain!"

At that time, he received a system message.

[You spotted Red Tomon.] ]

It is more than 5 meters long, has a red body, and legs that look like tree branches. It has so many legs that it can't even start counting.

This is the final boss of the Chestnut Mountain, Red Tomon!

"The best part of the dungeon is its bosses. ”

Cono smiled.

"Please tell me about the boss. ”

Aso looked confident.

"Oh, it's not a tough boss. It squirts venom from its mouth and has sharp awl-like stingers at the ends of its legs," Con explained step by step the characteristics of the boss.

"There's a stinger on each of those legs?"

"Yes. Focus only on dealing damage while avoiding its venom and sting. ”

"What about the second stage?" she asked.

"It will bury in the ground, pop out from under you, and attack. When it surfaces, attack it with everything you have. ”

"It doesn't have a third phase?"

"Nope. But when its HP drops below 10%, it goes crazy. ”

"Anything else?"

"I've told me everything I know. ”

"Understood. ”

"I'm going to attack from the front, so you're attacking from the back or from the side. ”

"Good!"

"Let's go. ”

Both Conou and Aso rushed towards Tomon.

He took the first step.

"Wow!"

He wielded a magic sword.

His long black knife struck the red shell.

Be!

The explosion of the red fragments proved the success of his preemptive strike.

Tomon immediately fought back.

Kiak!

It spews venom as thick and red as blood. Its target is Conou, because he just attacked it!

"Eyes. ”

Conou quickly hid behind a tree.

Gush!

The red venom attacked the tree where he was hiding behind.

Hiss!

Black smoke rose from the trunk of the tree.

"It works. ”

Conou's eyes sparkled.

Yes!

Realizing that its venom had failed, it used its body to tackle the tree. It reminded him of a train that had failed.

Con'ou leaves the safety of the tree and meets Tomon face to face.

Yellow!

He used the roar of Baramut.

Rise, Tiger Spirit!

Then, he swings downward, imbued with the power of a tiger.

Storm Tiger!

A golden halo scattered among the maple trees.

Bang!

The Storm Tiger Head slammed into Tomon.

It's like two trains crashing face to face. The collision caused a cloud of dust and caused a loud "bang".

ah

The storm tiger was blown away by the wind and swept away the dust.

However, since the power of Cono is halved, the wind is not strong enough to cause any real damage.

Conou assessed Tomon's condition.

Shocking because of Tempest Tigers.

"This is my chance!"

Conou Rush.

"Maple. ”

He jumped into the air and swung downward.

！

The air split in half!Not only that, but there were also black waves following his kendo.

Darkness is coming!

Tomon seemed to realize the power of Conou's attack, and raised his head and quickly moved his legs.

Bang!

Con'ou's sword was almost forgotten and embedded itself in the ground. Dirt is everywhere.

Good!

Tomon spewed venom again, as if telling him not to approach.

Conou rolled to the floor. The venom passed where his head had been.

"Don't do that!"

Cono quickly stood up and swung diagonally.

Pare!

Tomon fought back with a spike in his leg.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Its stinger must be made of metal, as it emits a metallic "clang" whenever they collide.

"Ahh

He swung his body so hard that it felt like his muscles had burst suddenly.

！

A powerful blow pushed his leg away.

"Open the door!"

His super-instincts spotted a weakness. Cono stood firm and worked in a vital direction.

Stab!

Red fragments flew into the air.

Yes!

Tumon screamed, frantically pushing him.

Cono hid behind a tree again.

Thump!

After contact, the tree cracks like sorghum straw.

But with the wood flying around, Tomon briefly lost sight of Conou.

"Die!"

Cono suddenly reappeared next to Tomon and swung upwards.

Hack!

His attack led to a heavy "thump" and numbness of the hands.

"Let's get to work!"

Kang Ou repeatedly swung his sword and punched to launch an offensive.

Of course, Conou wasn't just struggling, and Aso didn't do anything.

She is fighting against the tail that belongs.
