In front of the transfer gate square in Corinia City on the seventy-fifth floor, there were already players who knew at a glance that they were quite high-level gathered there - not just from the level of equipment, but from a kind of spirit.

"I thought of the first strategy...... Ye Chi said softly in Asuna's ear.

Indeed, this time the scene was a little bleaker than the first, the first time there were 43 people, but now there are only 32 people.

Among the 6,000 people, only 30 dared to fight...... It's hard to say whether it's more or less......

"A lot of people at that time...... They're all gone, aren't they? ”

"yes...... There are not so many ...... all of a sudden," Ye Chi was also a little embarrassed.

The aura of the thirty or so death-minded people was still quite strong, but when Ye Chi and the others walked towards them, everyone closed their mouths tightly after seeing them, and saluted us with nervous expressions on their faces. There were even people who saluted them with their right hands.

Ye Chi's head was a little down at this time...... What happens at this time?

"I said, Levy, you are also a leader, you can't return the favor with others!"

"How could it be ......?"

Ye Chi could only raise his hand stiffly - compared to Asuna who naturally returned the salute next to him, he was like a monkey......

"Yo!" Ye Chi's shoulder was slapped heavily - "It's you......"

The sword made Klein, and the tomahawk made Achill - plus a black one.

"It's all here!" Ye Chi was quite surprised, because Kirita aside, Achill was half a businessman......

"Is it necessary to be so surprised!"

Achill, with an indignant face, said in a rough voice:

"I heard that this battle was quite hard, so I left my business and ran to help. You can't comprehend my great sentiment of selflessness and desirelessness......"

Achill kept saying with exaggerated movements, "So...... I know your selflessness very well now. Then you don't have to count your share in the distribution of loot?" Kirito maliciously stabbed Achill with his elbow.

As soon as he heard Kirito say this, the giant man in front of him put his hand on his smooth head, and replied with a frown furrowed in a figure-eight shape:

"Oh, this, this......"

Klein and Asuna laughed heartily at the same time when they heard him begin to slurb his words spinelessly. The laughter spread to the rest of the players gathered here, and everyone's nervousness seemed to be relieved slightly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, several new players appeared in the transfer door. It was Heathcliff, dressed in a red robe and holding a huge cross shield, and the elite troops of the Knights of the Blood Alliance. After seeing them, the tension once again hung over the players.

Judging purely from the level strength, the only one who is higher than Ye Chi and Asuna should be Heathcliff himself - not necessarily now, but their appearance of unity can make people feel quite oppressive. Except for the white and red guilds of the same color, each of them has different weapons, but the group power that emanates from their bodies can be said to be very different from the army units they have seen before.

"Regular Army?" Ye Chi muttered to himself, "Oh, this is really amazing...... Five skilled strong avant-gardes—"

Avant-garde, not some kind of special unit, in other words, T...... As the saying goes, if there is no reconnaissance, we will take T, if there is no output, we will take T, and there will be no wet nurse...... You can't make it up with T......

With a team of sword and shield hands, the whole line will be much more stable - but although this combination is the most, it can really be used well...... Few and far between.

If only there was another team of shield spearmen...... It's a pity that because that look is too frustrating, few people use it......

After the paladin and his four subordinates split the player group into two sides, they walked directly towards Ye Chi and them. When Klein and Achill were forced to take a few steps back, Asuna saluted them with a relaxed face.

Heathcliff, who had stopped, nodded to them and began to address the group:

"It doesn't seem that anyone is absent. Thank you all for participating. I think everyone already knows the situation. What awaits us is a tough battle, but I am confident that with your strength, we will be able to successfully overcome this crisis. Let's fight for Liberation Day——"

With Heathcliff's powerful shout, the players let out an exhilarating roar. Ye Chi was amazed by his powerful charm like a magnetic force. Among the online gaming fanatics who generally lack group leadership skills, there is a person with a leadership temperament like him, or should it be the world that allows him to discover his talent in this area? What kind of work does he do in the real world......

The Self-Defense Forces don't produce such wise and brave characters......

He gently raised a hand and said:

"Then let's go. I'll open the cloister that leads directly to the front of the boss monster's room. ”

After saying that, he took out the dark blue crystal from the bag on his waist, and the other players immediately let out an exclamation of "oh oh ......" when they saw it.

Ordinary transfer crystals can only transfer the user to the transfer door of a designated street, but now the "Cloister Crystal" item in Heatscliff's hand can be used to record any location, and then open the transfer door to reach the recorded location instantly, which can be said to be a very convenient prop.

It's just that although it's convenient, it's quite rare in quantity, and it's not sold in the NPC shop. The only way to get started is to open the labyrinth chest or defeat powerful monsters, so even after the hands are completed, few players will use them directly. The exclamation that came from everyone's lips just now was not so much the sight of the rare cloister crystal as it was from seeing Heatscliff use it casually.

Heathcliff raised his right hand as if he didn't care about the eyes of the crowd, and shouted "The cloister opens". The extremely expensive crystal shattered in an instant, and a swirl of blue light appeared in the space in front of him.

"Come with me, then, guys."

After looking at everyone once, Heathcliff flipped over his red coat and stepped into the blue light. His figure was instantly surrounded by dazzling flashes of light, and then vanished. The four KOB members immediately followed him in.

I don't know when it started, but many players gathered around the Diversion Gate Square. I guess I heard about the boss's strategy and came to see them off. Amidst the shouts of encouragement, one by one, the swordsmen plunged into the corridor of light, shifting towards their destination.

In the end, only Ye Chi and Asuna were left. The two men nodded to each other, holding hands, as they jumped into the vortex of light.

After a slight dizziness-like sensation of transfer, they opened their eyes to find themselves in a labyrinth. It is a fairly wide corridor. The walls are lined with thick pillars, and a large door can be seen at the forefront.

The labyrinth area on the seventy-fifth floor is made up of obsidian materials that resemble a bit of translucency. Unlike the roughly-cut uneven surface of the labyrinth below, the floor here is made of black stone polished like a mirror arranged in straight lines. In addition to the cold and damp air, there were faint clouds slowly surrounding the ground.

Thirty players around us opened the menu window in twos and twos and began to check the equipment and items on their bodies, but you could see that their expressions were very stiff.

There's no way, even if you took the risk before, there was hope of retreating, but now there is no way back, either you or I die, and you have to fight to the death with a piece of code, which really makes people laugh.

Ye Chi and the others hid to the side, and Ye Chi gently wrapped his arms around Asuna's slender body - still scared...... It's not the fear of sleeping, but the fear of dying - no matter which side of the two dies in battle, it's hard to imagine how the other side will live.

However, this will be the motivation to support them to stay alive......

Who knows?

“…… I always feel ...... I had a bad premonition......"

"Uh-huh......"

Ye Chi also felt the same way, but he didn't know if this was for the strategy operation itself or for the two of them......

In the two years up to now, they have breached a total of seventy-four layers of the labyrinth area, defeating the same number of leaders. After all this experience, just looking at the leader's habitat can now predict the level of power it possesses.

This time, however...... It's a bit of a no-brainer.

The reconnaissance team was completely wiped out, and so many people had already been sacrificed before the official attack began - it's not that no one in the reconnaissance team has sacrificed, but there is really no one who has been wiped out at one time.

The hand is a little shaky, which is not a good phenomenon, and if the knife is out of the knife, the power will drop a lot if there is a slight deviation, and although there is a numerical judgment assistance, it is not the same thing.

"It's okay, I'll protect you." Asuna whispered in his ear, making his ears tickle a little.

"I'm not afraid of death......"

"I know, Levy has never been afraid to fight...... So, I'm going to live well, so you're fearless, aren't you? Not only that, but I'm going to protect you! ”

"Me too."

Ye Chi hugged her fiercely, then let go, and his hand habitually held the handle of the knife.

The moment he pressed the hilt, his trembling fingers immediately became rock-solid.

After Heathcliff materialized the crossbow in the center of the cloister, his whole body shook and the equipment made a sound, and then spoke:

"Are you ready? This time there was absolutely no information on the leader's attack patterns. Basically, we KOB act as the vanguard to resist the enemy's attacks, and then everyone takes this opportunity to recognize its attack pattern and launch a counterattack against it randomly. ”

The swordsmen nodded wordlessly.

"So—let's get on."

After speaking in the softest voice possible, Heatscliff walked straight to the obsidian door and placed his right hand in the center of the door. We all started to get nervous.

He patted Achill and Klein, who were standing side by side, on the shoulder—plus Kirito who was pushed aside—and said to the three who turned their heads:

"Don't die."

"Hey, you just need to pay more attention to yourself."

"I won't die until I make a fortune from today's loot."

"I'll beat you up when I go back!"

After the three of them had finished answering loudly, the door slowly moved with a heavy sound. The players pulled out their weapons together, and Ye Chi pulled out the knife and put it on the armarm.

He glanced at Asuna, who had also drawn her sword, and the back and spine of the sword struck slightly, nodded, and then looked ahead.

Finally, Heathcliff, who had drawn his sword from the inside of the shield, raised his right hand and shouted:

"—The battle begins!"

Then walk into the completely open door, followed by the players.

The interior of the room is quite a large dome-shaped space. It should be the size of Colinia's gladiatorial arena, the arena where Ye Chi and Heathcliffe duel. The curved walls gradually extend upwards until they bend and close together at a distance. As soon as all thirty-two people entered the room and stood in a natural formation, the door behind them closed with a loud bang. There should be no way to open the door until the boss dies or the player is wiped out.

There was silence for several seconds. Although he had been paying attention to the wide ground, the leader had not appeared for a long time. Time passed as if it were going to strain their nerves to the limit.

The scout team was raided, yes.

But where did the raiders attack from?

If it is on the ground, no matter how powerful it is, it will be difficult to get an advantage in front of a high-alert reconnaissance team.

So......

"Beware of !!! above" Ye Chi shouted loudly, as if he saw something terrible.

Actually, yes, it's really scary......

It's a very big, long-standing thing.

Nearly ten meters long, multi-knotted -

It's not so much like an insect as it is reminiscent of a human backbone. Next to each grayish-white cylindrical segment is a pair of bones, with sharp feet that are exposed. As the gaze moves forward along its body, a menacing skull can be seen at the tip of the thickening body. And that's not a human skull. The bones twisted into a streamlined shape were covered by two pairs of eye sockets that hung up in the air, and blue flames flashed on the inside. The entire jawbone protruding forward was lined with sharp fangs, and on either side of the skull were huge scythe-like bones and arms protruding outward.

"TheSkullreaper" - Bone Hunter.

Under the frightened and wordless gaze of everyone, the skeletal curtailment slowly climbed up to the ceiling as it squirmed countless steps, and all of its steps suddenly stretched out widely—falling directly above the group.

———— "Spread out!" Before it fell, Ye Chi shouted and dragged Asuna away from the place.

Although Ye Chi reminded him in a timely manner, there were still two people who were one step slower.

Then they were pinned to the ground with sharp feet.

Too dead to die......

And then—

The right wrist of the fedworm, a huge bone sickle as long as a man's height in the blade alone, swept towards the other person who was a little slow.

In the stunned gaze of everyone, the person was left with a palm-wide judgment line that spanned the entire body - it is estimated that in reality it has long been chopped into two sections-

And then, just blast to pieces!

He's dead!

One hit!

In the stunned eyes of everyone, the boss raised his scythe-

The 75-story boss strategy battle has opened in such a bloody prologue.
