Episode 08

Defense and Third Event is the 8th episode of BOFURI anime series.

Summary
The Third Event involves collecting bells from cow monsters and Iz crafts new clothing for Maple, Sally, Kasumi, and Kanade.

During the third Event, Maple encounters a boss in the church she had visited before. There, Maple encounters the Demon Knight boss that threatens to eat her. Protecting herself with Wooly and having Syrup assist her with his skills; Maple manages to overwhelm the Demon Knight and defeat it with her Devour skill by eating it from within its body. By doing this, Maple gains the skills: Seeping Chaos, Predator, and Astrocity.

Meanwhile, Mii and her Kingdom of the Flame Emperor guild members managed to kill a bunch of cow monsters and collect their bells. The Admins observing the event comment on how successful the third Event was, but show some vague concern about Maple's progress.

News of Payne and Mii's guilds managing to reach the Third Floor is spread. And although Maple's Guild didn't gain enough bells to reach it, she did gain a new skill called Counter and a treasure that raises the guild member's strength by 3%.

Wasting no time, the Maple Tree members challenge the Green Giant boss monster, where Maple easily beats it with the Seeping Chaos and Astrocity skills. Accomplishing this feat grants the members access to the Third Floor.

On the Third Floor, the guild members split up to investigate the area at their own pace. In her exploration, Maple finds an NPC needing food and water. So after Maple gives the NPC what he wants, he tells her a story about the center of town where the Machine God lives.

Believing the story was a quest, Maple investigates the area on which the story was about, called the Graveyard of Dreams. There, Maple is forced to fight the malfunctioning Machine Lord, and before the boss goes berserk, it gives Maple the Machine God skill, allowing her to defeat it.
