Worst!!!

In a hurry, Artoria only had time to raise the caliburn to block.

Although Ayn Grant has a mechanism to reduce the sensation of pain, at this moment, the girl still feels the pain caused by the tremendous force on her arm.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the girl's golden sword was knocked away.

Damn, this boss actually has a disarming effect!

Without a weapon, you can't be tough with the boss, this is a truth that even Cirno knows, so Artoria stomped the ground with her right foot, trying to use this rebound force to leave the boss.

However, a gravitational pull pulled her back.

What's the situation?!

The panicked girl sees a purple ball of energy appear in the boss's hand and intuitively tells her that this is the culprit that makes it impossible for her to escape.

Faced with the knight Ji who went and returned, the cheetah-like monster chose to slap him.

Although she tried her best to block, due to the lack of a weapon, the girl's blood groove turned red directly.

But the boss's movements were so fast that he didn't even have a hard straight, and it raised its hand again without pause and fell.

Finished..........

Looking at the claws that had fallen again, Artoria closed her eyes in despair.

――――Boom!

The imaginary blow didn't come, and all I heard was the sound of claws rubbing against steel.

Who saved me?

Artoria almost wanted to kneel for the person who saved her.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a resolute back.

-- Diabel.

You could tell the knight was struggling to hold on, his hands barely holding his sword.

"Let's go!"

He turned to the girl and said.

"You ........"

The girl felt her lips feel a little dry.

-- She suddenly didn't know how to face the man in front of her.

"Let's go!"

Diabel shouted again, his voice becoming more rapid.

“........”

Stunned, Artoria turned and ran.

Thank you until you're done.

The girl thought so.

"Everyone, go and help!" Kirito saw that the girl was out of danger, and hurriedly shouted. "Diabel won't last long!"

As he spoke, the black-clothed swordsman rushed over like a whirlwind, directly past Artoria, who was retreating to the rear battlefield.

At the moment of crisis, the girl didn't dare to think about it, she crossed the crowd of players, and just wanted to recover quickly before entering the battle.

After a short period of contact, the girl clearly realized that the boss of this layer is not simple!

The girl directly took out the recovery crystal, which was still very expensive for current players, and began to recover.

Gotta hold on, everyone!

The maiden prayed silently in her heart.

........ But if God could hear you, He wouldn't be just a faith.

Diabel !!!!

An exclamation came from nowhere, and the room, which had been noisy from the battle, suddenly fell silent.

The girl was horrified to see a body being knocked out of the place she had fled.

-- It was a body without a head.

Because there is no blood in the game, and all the wounds are simulated from data fragments, it looks unreal.

But when this fantasy appears in the death game of Sword Art Online, it becomes incredibly real.

The corpse's neck in the air shone with a tiny light, leaving a wound that had been violently torn apart. Although there is no head, the iconic armor shows that it belongs to Diabel's body.

In the silence around them, the sound of the corpse falling on the floor in front of Artoria was so harsh.

――――[Blue-haired Knight] Diabel, killed!

"No....... No, no, no, no!!!!! Artoria fell to her knees, reaching out to the corpse that had begun to show signs of collapse on the edge.

"Don't do that!!!! Please, don't do that!!!!!!!! The girl took the corpse's right hand, as if to pull the dead back from the side of death.

But all in vain.

As the sound sounded, Diabel's remaining body turned into a bizarre fragment.

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

Kirito suddenly felt that everything was so ridiculous.

Diabel ........ He's dead?!

That commander, just died so easily?!

He watched clearly as Diabel was smashed off by the boss because of his lack of strength, and then his head was scratched off with a claw.

The corpse was shot out of front of him.

-- Just because he didn't come back in time.

"Ahh!!h In the empty room, the boy's sudden roar was so clear.

Horizontal Quartet Slash !!

A square slash came from Kirito's sword, but it was dodged by the boss without any suspense.

"Everyone!"

Kirito shouted as he continued his pursuit.

"Don't be in a daze!!"

"Even if it's just for revenge!!"

"We must not lose to this despicable monster!!!"
