Chapter Eighty-Four: Prelude to the End

Finished practicing with the dove, Mantra sat down on the ground, panting. The amount of practice for four hours a day is still a bit overwhelming.

"It's been a long time since I've practiced like this. Not only is the mantra a little unbearable, but even the dove is a little exhausted, "I knew that it would be so hard to practice with you, and I really didn't practice with you." ”

"Now I know, it's too late to regret it!" said Shinga smiled as he threw the water cup in his hand in front of the dove. The dove reached out and took the cup of water and drank it in a big gulp. In the past few days, the two have maintained a kendo practice that ends from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In the afternoon, the two of them cooperated, but most of the time the two of them would choose to enter the maze. It seems that the dove is really tired enough today, and after practicing the dove, he went straight home to sleep. Mantra looked bored and went to the labyrinth.

"What are you two doing?" said Mantra, who had just walked to the misty area of the map, when he saw Kirito and Asuna, who were sitting on the ground panting. The expressions of the two men were as if they had seen something bad.

"We found the Boss room. Asuna sighed and told the truth what she had just seen with Kirito. Mantra listened carefully to Asuna's introduction. After getting a general understanding of the situation of the boss on this level, Mantra began to simulate the strategy process in his mind. While Manon was thinking about it, Asuna and Kirito were already splitting their lunch. The mantra that smells the fragrance is relieved from the thoughts.

"Shingon! Sincerely, you should try this!" Kirito ran over to Shingon and took off his gloves. Pour out a little of the liquid from the glass bottle and put it in Mantra's hand. It was clear that Manyan hadn't heard Kirito and Asuna's previous chat, so he was curiously looking at what he was doing. Puzzled, he put the sauce in his hand into his mouth.

"Soy sauce?" Shingon looked at the little sauce left in his hand in surprise, "Asuna, how long have you been analyzing the ingredients?"

"Raiders free time. But there's always a reward for your efforts, isn't it!" Asuna smiled confidently, seeing that Manyan was taking out the lunch box that she had prepared in the morning, "Do you want to add a little more to your lunch?"

Mana looked at the omelette in the bento box and then at the soy sauce in Asuna's hand, shook his head and rejected Asuna's kindness. When Mangon thought he would be able to finish a good meal, there was a bustling conversation not far away. With a gloomy expression, Shingon threw the bento aside and got up to draw his knife at the intersection. It wasn't until a few red figures appeared in his line of sight that Mana retracted his knife and retreated to the wall to sit down and enjoy the short-lasting bento. He didn't want to get involved in Crane's cross-examination, and it didn't take long for him to notice a couple of people emerging from not far from the intersection.

"It's better not to ask about these haves and haves, Klein. The guests of the army came. After the last bite of the bento, Mangon threw the box to the intersection. As the bento box turned into pieces, the people of the army also came to Mantra them. Obviously, the first thing the people in the army did when they saw Mantra was to ridicule, and then they asked Kirito for the map in the back.

Although Mangon really didn't care about the movements of the army, he couldn't let Kirito and Crane take the risk, so they had to follow. Halfway through, Mantra finally said the first thing he said after meeting Klein: "Do you think they're going to run to the boss room?"

"Probably not. Crane replied after dealing with the mobs that had escaped, "But there should only be the boss room in the past." ”

"It's not feeling good, let's speed up!" Kirito had a vague feeling of unease. When they reached the boss room, a scream came from inside the room. These screams validate Kirito's uneasiness.

Those idiots. Mantra couldn't help but sarcastically in his heart. At the end, he reached the door, and it was too late for him to stop Asuna, who rushed into the boss's room because she couldn't stand it. Not long after Asuna rushed in, Kirito rushed in regardless of Manyan's stopping.

"Today's practice volume is definitely exceeded!" Shingon scratched his head, clenched Demon Moon, and ran to support Kirito. Picking off the arm that was attacking Kirito, he turned his back to Kirito and said, "Don't increase the amount of practice for me." ”

Hearing the mantra's words, Kirito just laughed stupidly a few times. Even if the mantra says so, the movements of the hands do not stop. This time, the position of the two people changed, and Mana helped Kirito resist the attack, while Kirito took the initiative to attack. Seeing Kirito's hard work, he sighed from the bottom of his heart and said, "Really...... I'm just trying to abuse the mobs today. ”

"We won't last long...... Mantra, Asuna, Crane hold me up for a minute!" Kirito took a few steps back and let Asuna and Crane, who were on the periphery, rush in to fend off the attack. Only Mantra here knows what Kirito wants to do, so it's no longer a simple defense. While Kirito was switching equipment, Manain tried to reduce the boss's HP as much as possible.

By the time Kirito shouted out the switch, the three of them already felt a little exhausted. When the three of them heard Kirito's voice, they immediately dispersed from both sides for Kirito to output. The combo of the two swords continued to attack the blue-eyed demon, and the mantra held the demon moon tightly and resisted the urge to go up to support. He knew that this kind of combo required concentration, and if he rushed up, it would only interrupt Kirito's rhythm. Now he could only pray that Kirito had the good fortune to keep this combo until the Blue-Eyed Demon's HP was zero.

"Kirito!" Asuna was stopped by Mantra when Kirito's health was about to run out.

"There are two last hits, and it only takes one critical damage to end it...... Going up now will only interrupt Kirito's attack and make him stiff, and we won't be able to pull back the hatred of the Blue-Eyed Demon. "Mantra is also the urge to resist running. When Kirito's HP was at its last, the blue-eyed demon finally turned into pieces in the air. Shingon took out the healing crystal that he had already held in his other hand and ran to Kirito, who was collapsed on the ground.

Zhenyan couldn't help but be frightened when he looked at the little blood on Kirito's head, if it was too late, Kirito's life would be explained here. No longer waiting to pick up the crystal and whisper beside Kirito, "Heal."

"Hmm...... How long have I been faint?" It didn't take long for Kirito to regain his senses. He barely stood up, and his eyes couldn't see clearly. It's just that the worry on the faces of Shingon and Asuna is real.

"It didn't take long. Seeing Kirito regain consciousness, Mangin also breathed a sigh of relief. immediately put away the worry on his face and replaced it with a gloating face, "Tomorrow, the paparazzi will chase and intercept you at your doorstep!"

Kirito rolled his eyes at Mana, eager to get up and tear off his underbeaten face.

"Crane, go open the door! I don't think Kirito's way up. Mana looked at Kirito, who had been successfully stimulated by himself, with satisfaction, "If you have the energy to roll your eyes with me, then it's fine." But ......"

Mantra crouched down close to Kirito's side and whispered in his ear, "Be careful next." ”
