The body was immediately subjected to an impact that exceeded common sense. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but the sickle did not stop because of this. It flew sparks as it bounced Ghost Cry away, closing in on my eyes.

No, it's too strong!

At that moment, a newly emerged sword sliced through the air with pure white light, striking the scythe from below. The crash sounded. Taking advantage of the slowing down of the scythe's momentum, I immediately pushed the bone scythe back with all my strength.

Asuna looked at me and said:

"If two people bear it at the same time, they can stop it! We can do it! ”

"Okay, then please!"

I nodded.

The Bone Scythe switched to a sweep this time, closing in on the two men in front of us again, and Asuna and I slashed diagonally down to the right at the same time. The two of them were perfectly synchronized with their swords striking the scythe with two rays of light. After a strong impact, the scythe that changed the enemy this time was bounced back.

I shouted vigorously:

"The scythe is up to us! Attack from the flank!"

My voice seemed to free everyone from the curse, and the breathless players let out a roar of rage, raising their weapons and launching a surprise attack on the body of the entertainer. Several attacks slashed deep into the enemy's body, and only then did the boss's HP bar finally decrease slightly.

However, the screams of several players were immediately heard. Taking advantage of the gap between the counterattack and scythe attack, he noticed that the spear-like bone at the end of the tail of the entertainment beetle had swept several players to the ground.

"Damn...... Can't go over and help."

Although he wished he could go over to help, Tang Wenke and Asuna, as well as Heathcliff, who was alone resisting the scythe on the left a little farther away, did not have the extra strength to rush over.

Fortunately, in this period of training, Sirika has become more and more tacit with Bina, coupled with the hint of level, she can quickly command Bina to treat whenever her blood volume enters the red danger line, so far there have been no casualties except for the first three players in the strategy group.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, players began to gradually get used to the rhythm of the boss's attacks, and with some certainty, the two players were able to deal with the monster's 3 small arthropods.

"Drink!" Klein and Achill both roared in rage, blocking the boss's massive tailbone.

"Kirito! You go and help Asuna and the Don brothers! The two of us will deal with the parts here! The two men looked at each other and shouted at Kirito who had withdrawn two steps, and then stepped forward to deal with the tailbone that was swinging again.

"Guard!" Kirito hurried over.

"Yes!" nodded, needless to say, he and Kiritto have also cooperated to attack several defender bosses, and there is still a tacit understanding.

Kick the occasional wails and screams out of your head, and focus on fending off the enemy's fierce attacks.

All three of them are extremely fast players, and in the eyes of other players, there are only three flashes of light in front of the boss that are constantly colliding with the boss, and sparking fierce sparks, and under the consumption of each other, the bone hunter has to divide more of his mind to resist the damage of the three, and give up the defense of some physically strong defensive places.

The battle lasted a full hour.

When the seemingly never-ending deathmatch finally came to an end and the massive body of the boss monster flew in all directions, there was no one left in the player to cheer. Some sat down on the obsidian floor as if they had fallen, while others lay on the ground panting violently.

Is it over......?

Asuna's spirit was a little dazed, and several of her teammates who were still talking and laughing in front of her before would never be seen again.

It's over!

I panted and gave Asuna an affirmative answer

We all survived together -- even so, now is not the time to be happy with our open minds. Because there are so many victims. After the three people who died at the beginning of the battle, there was a screeching sound of broken objects at a certain speed, and when I counted to the sixth, I gave up and continued counting.

Sirika walked slowly over on her weak legs and leaned on my shoulder, although she only needed to replenish the health of players with less health, but supporting skills also consumed physical strength, which can be seen from the empty stamina potion bottle in Celica's backpack.

"How many people have been sacrificed in total......?"

Klein, who was squatting on the ground to my left, picked up his head and asked me in a hoarse voice. Akyll, who was lying on his back beside Klein with his arms and legs outstretched, turned his face to me as well.

With a wave of his right hand, he called out the map and counted the green dots on it. From the number of people at the time of departure, the total number of victims appeared.

"Ten people died in all."

I personally confirmed the death toll, and I reported the death toll, and I felt a little sad in my heart, even if I had more myself, did I still die so many people? It's just that four fewer people died than in the original. Sure enough, I'm still not strong enough!

"Damn! If I had rushed up and entangled the bosses, maybe they wouldn't have died! I blamed myself.

"Guard, you don't have to blame yourself, your life is what you saved!" A player in the strategy group stood up and looked at the young man in front of him gratefully, when he and his teammates made a mistake in cooperation, his teammates were killed in front of him, he was actually stunned, the monster doesn't give you time to be sad, and he threw his tail at him, if Tang Wenke hadn't appeared in time to block it, he was afraid that he would have died.

Each of them is a top-notch player who has been through countless battles. Even if you can't get out or recover instantly, as long as you take a combat style that prioritizes survival, you shouldn't die right away, although I think so, but ......

"Liar, don't ......"

Akyll's voice also lost its usual vitality. A gloomy air hung over the heads of the survivors.

Three-quarters of the way through - and twenty-five floors above. Although there are still thousands of players, there are probably only a few hundred people who are at the forefront of the game. If there are so many victims in just one layer of strategy, players will face the dilemma of being able to face the final boss - there may be only one player left to face the final boss.

I kept staring at the side of Heathcliff's face as I felt hazy with exhaustion. He just looked down at the KOB members and the other players lying on the ground without a word. His eyes were warm and full of compassion, as if-

It's like looking at a swarm of white mice playing in a delicate cage.

"Do you want to challenge now?" I'm a little entangled in my heart, after all, Heathcliff [Kayaba Akihiko] also relied on his own strength to deal with the boss in this strategy, and he didn't use any administrator permissions.

Of course, he was not completely uninjured. After focusing on him and letting the arrow appear, it can be seen that his HP bar has decreased considerably. The bone scythe that he and Kirito Asuna managed to resist together, and he alone survived the entire battle. In such a situation, in addition to taking numerical damage, it is not an exaggeration to fall down due to exhaustion.

But his leisurely figure makes it impossible to feel any mental fatigue at all. It's an incredible amount of tenacity. It's like a machine -- like a fighting machine equipped with a perpetual motion machine......

"Do you want to challenge it now? Why don't you wait until you are stronger in the future to fight? I probably won't be able to beat him now! As soon as this thought appeared in my heart, I was ashamed of my thoughts, why did I risk my life to experience in one world after another? Isn't it just for the sake of a powerful force that can ignore the rules? How can you retreat in such a place!

I clenched my fists, glanced at Akihiko Kayaba, and then at this group of players with tired faces, after this layer, there are still 25 floors for them to attack, and everyone may pay countless casualties, so I must fight with Kayaba to liberate everyone!

I slowly regained my grip on the sword in my right hand. Slowly move your right foot back in very small motions. Shrink your waist slightly back and prepare for a low-altitude sprint. Hizcliff [Akihiko Kayaba] didn't notice my movements. His steady gaze was only at the depressed guild members.

"Don... You? Asuna, who was half-sitting on the ground, noticed my movements and looked at me in some surprise, but she didn't scream, just moved her lips. It was trust between the two, and she believed that her man would not be that kind of person.

The distance between the two men was about ten meters, and I sprinted as hard as I could, and in an instant I ran the distance, the sword in my right spinning and stabbing upwards. He uses the one-handed sword's basic advance technique "Angry Stab". Because it is not very powerful, even if it hits Heathcliff, it will not hurt his life. The reason why I don't kill at once is also because I am worried that the players in the strategy group will misunderstand themselves.

But - when the system logo after the damage is dealt appears, the players will know everything.

Heathcliff's eyes widened in astonishment as he noticed the tip of the sword dragging a pale blue flash approaching from the left. He immediately raised his shield in his left hand to resist.

I've been collecting his defensive skills and combat methods for a long time, and I've been distracted by them when I fought against the Bone Hunters before, and I reacted immediately after Akihiko Kayaba took this defensive stance, turning the sword in my hand into a ray of light, changing its trajectory at a sharp angle in the air, grazing the edge of the shield and stabbing into Heathcliff's chest.

Just as the sword was about to plunge into his chest, it hit a wall that was invisible to the naked eye. A strong impact was transmitted from the sword to my arm. The purple flash exploded, and a message appeared between Tang Wenke and the guy that was also purple, that is, the color of the system.

「ImmortalObject」。 The undead exist. This is an impossible attribute for these weak and limited players. In the duel, what Heatscliffe feared must have been to expose this god-like protection to the eyes of everyone.

"Don, what are you doing?"

Celica, who ran up to me screaming when she saw my sudden attack, stopped moving instantly after seeing the message. Tang Wenke, Heathcliff, and Klein and the surrounding players also did not move at all. In the silence, the system message slowly vanished.
