دانلود رمان انگلیسی “بفوری من نمی‌خواهم صدمه ببینم، بنابراین دفاعم را حداکثر می‌کنم” – جلد 8

The eight members of Maple Tree finished conquering the seventh event’s tower, trounced the sixth stratum’s boss, and reached the new stratum— where players could befriend monsters. After the previous map’s spooky horror vibe, the seventh stratum’s windswept grasslands were a nice change of pace. Herbivores freely roamed the plains, and a town was visible in the distance. Scanning the horizon, they spotted volcanoes, snowcapped peaks, and floating islands. Even from here, it was obvious this map overflowed with variety. “Wow! And everyone can make a monster friend here?” “Apparently. Based on the notes from the admins, the sooner the better.” “There’s still a lot we don’t know, but once you tame a monster, you’ve gotta get it leveled up. The faster you get one, the more time you’ll have to train it.” As the new map came online, the admins had announced the eighth event. The announcement was light on the details, but having monster friends would clearly be an advantage. Maple and Sally already had monster pets, so they summoned Syrup and Oboro as the guild started the long walk to town. “Oh, so not all the monsters are friendly.” “Yep, they’re charging right at us!” ““Let’s beat them down!”” It wasn’t long before a welcoming party appeared—a stampede of bulls with razor-sharp horns. While everyone braced for combat, Sally and Maple struck first. “Syrup! Mother Nature!” “Oboro! Shadow Clone!” Thick vines grew from the ground at the bulls’ feet, binding them. Once their charge was halted, five Sallys came in swinging. The bulls did their best to fight back, flailing with their horns, but not one landed a hit on any of the clones Oboro generated. “Quintuple Slash!” Sally used a combo skill to finish them off. As aggressive as they were, these bulls were just ordinary monsters, and she made short work of their HP. After the bulls disappeared in a shower of light, the girls gathered up the drop items and heaped praise on their pets. “Woo! Nice work, Syrup!” “Thanks, Oboro.” Two players alone could not have made such short work of that stampede. They’d had Syrup and Oboro around for a while now, and the members of Maple Tree were used to seeing them fight together—but the prospect of getting their own monsters was definitely tantalizing. “Seeing that sure does make me want a pet of my own.” “Yeah. There must be a trick to it. Those bulls didn’t seem too friendly…” “Maybe you need an item?” “Yeah, looks like it. Let’s go see!” Idle conjecture was getting them nowhere, and the anticipation propelled them forward as they hurried into town.
