“I came here because I can’t use teleportation for 30 minutes. There’s no suitable place to regroup there. We need to go back quickly and attack again before Maria fully recovers her health.”

Ruela hurriedly treated her injured colleagues while speaking.

“How much has the blood filled up?”

“It was 0.03, but now it’s 0.04%. It’s not filling up very quickly.”

“Alright, let’s run back. This time, we should lure her out of the mansion and fight. Inside the mansion is too dangerous as there’s no space to avoid.”

“But if we go outside the mansion, there are a lot of lower-tier monsters. Won’t the situation get worse?”

“We don’t have time, so let’s think about it while moving.”

Ruela quickly went outside and summoned a minivan this time.

It was a decision made to move quickly without paying attention to people’s eyes and discuss the attack strategy while on the move.

Hazen, as if it were natural, sat in the driver’s seat and started the engine.

As others were hurrying to get on the car and depart, the people of Line Ga, who were looking at them with open mouths through the window of the hall, were visible.

Raphael, sitting in the back seat, looked out with a tongue-in-cheek expression as Line Viscountess shook hands with her, looking embarrassed.

“Is our appearance so chaotic? It looks like we’ve seen a monster or something.”

“Maybe they’re surprised to see this carriage.”

Tien, sitting in the front passenger seat, commented, looking back.

“Oh, right. I forgot because I got used to it after a few rides. This is a silent carriage, right?”

“It looks strange.”

Kite patted Hazen’s shoulder, giving a signal to start, and said.

“Let’s think about how to attack before we arrive. Any good ideas? Even if we endure with Ruela’s shield once, there’s no choice but to avoid the second time.”

“If we’re going to lure her out, how about using terrain? When the attack comes, hide behind trees or structures. It’s hiding behind obstacles. It might be a little better with a cover, right?”

Mitchell opposed Raphael’s opinion.

“It might be useless against such a tremendous power. Moreover, if there are obstacles in the middle, we can’t attack either. If our attack power is reduced, inevitably it will turn into a long battle, making us more disadvantageous.”

“It would have been nice if we had one more dealer.”

When Raphael regretted and was about to grumble, something flashed in Ruela’s mind.

Although she didn’t know the principle, there must have been a reason why she learned one more professional skill than others, a skill that others could only acquire two of.

Ruela opened the skill window and started looking through it from the beginning.

In the process, she found one.

Bomb manufacturing, which can be learned at the intermediate level of horticulture technology.
The relevance of gardening and bombs might seem questionable, but when it comes to bombs, it wasn’t the lethal explosive that one would generally think of. Instead, it was a confetti bomb used in festive occasions within the game, producing colorful flower petals along with a loud noise. Due to the vibrant burst of colored powder accompanied by loud sounds, it was commonly used for entertainment purposes in the game.

Ruela quickly started making these bombs in different colors. Later, she handed them to everyone except Mitchell and Raphael, explaining, “These are confetti bombs. When you place them where you want and after 3 seconds, they explode, releasing flower petals with a loud noise. They are quite flashy, so let’s use them to attract Maria’s attention.”

“Is this a bomb?”

Kite examined the palm-sized box with a curious expression.

“Do we just place it on the ground? No need for any operation or anything?”

“Yes, there’s no need. The moment you place it on the ground, the timer starts automatically. When Maria starts casting spells to attack, detonate the bomb to grab her attention.”

“Then we can attack her relentlessly.”

Mitchell pondered and asked, “Yes, we four each have bombs of different colors. I have blue, Kite has red, Hazen has green, and Tien has yellow. Check each other’s positions on the map and try to make Maria move around by detonating different colors, for example, detonating yellow from the east and then detonating a different color from the opposite west.”

Smiling, Tien put the bomb she held into her bag.

“It seems like the bomb colors match our eye colors. No one will forget who has which color.”

“That’s right. Oh, and each bomb can be used ten times.”

While Ruela was talking, she handed the additional bombs she had made to the three people.

“The order will be me, Tien, Kite, Hazen. What do you think?”

Kite opposed Ruela’s suggestion, saying, “That’s too risky. Let’s go with me, Hazen, Tien in that order.”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s too risky for Ruela to start. How many bombs do you have?”

“I can keep making them.”

“Then give me more. With the speed buff and the three of us moving, it should be enough. Mitchell and Raphael can focus on attacking. How about that?”
