Chapter 30: The Battle of Each

On the seventy-fourth floor of "Ayn Grant", in the boss room surrounded by torches burning with blue flames, three teams that have discussed tactics are attacking it.

With a magnificent stride, the slash of the floor boss "The Gleam Eyes" slashed, and the chestnut-haired girl's thin sword shimmered with silver, and the super high speed of the sword continued to leave scratches on her waist like a flash.

- Eight Consecutive Advanced Rapier Skill "Star Dust Splash".

For Asuna, who has already used this skill perfectly, this trick can also be said to be her famous stunt.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Rapier, the boss let out an angry roar and swept the heavy sword down again.

"'Switch'! Liz! ”

Asuna, who entered the attack stiffly, did not panic and calmly recovered her body. At the same time, Lizbet, who had been prepared for a long time, was already in the way.

"Understood! Don't underestimate the blacksmith's hammer and body! ”

The body sank violently under the heavy blow, but the pink-haired smith still used the shield he built to take the boss's heavy blow steadily.

Seizing this gap, Naoha, who put the sword into the scabbard, and Lanzi, who slammed into the sword technique, appeared on both sides of the boss's lower body at the same time.

"Drink, ah, ——!"

- The stunt "Drawing Sword" of the top ten-tier sword technique "New Star Ascension" and the special skill "Taidao".

The strong sword light flashed, and it was completely hit by the attack of the two, and the monster blood bar of the sheep's head and snake tail began to fall wildly, and the lower body also fell backwards unbalanced.

……

"Hey, it's really fake......"

Klein, who had been treated by Celica in the rear, swallowed his saliva and looked at the girls in amazement.

As the first echelon of teams to attack the boss, now is the time for them to accept the recovery.

I was worried that these girls would not be able to support them as the second echelon, but didn't they need to intervene at all......

“…… Klein, don't you know? Their guild is one of the few guilds that can attack the boss of the floor alone. ”

As the main force of the last wave of attacks, Kirito, who commanded the team to prepare, smiled bitterly.

Originally, he thought that Yuki would not be comfortable with these girls, but he didn't expect that he was thinking too much.

"Alas——?! Is there such a thing as this?? What a dereliction of duty for me as a member of the Arcadia guard!! ”

Klein, who was distressed in a strange place, held his head as if he was in pain.

"Arcadia Guards...... I said you......"

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Kirito noticed that there seemed to be more and more members of this strange organization.

According to his secret investigation, the source of this organization seems to be a certain knight from the "Holy Dragon Alliance......

(Ha...... Now is not the time to think about this mess. )

Adjusting his breathing, Kirito equipped his second sword.

The reason why the Knights of the Blood Alliance is called the strongest guild is precisely because of the existence of their leader and deputy leader.

Kirito and Heathcliff, the Divine Sword, are users of two unique skills.

Glancing at the second sword in his hand, the black-haired swordsman, who was the deputy head of the Blood Alliance, spoke calmly.

"It's time, let's go!"

"Yes——!"

……

********************************************************************************************************************

- The first floor of "Ayn Grant", deep in the underground labyrinth of "Black Iron Palace".

The sound of a huge scythe slicing into the ground roared, and Yuki, who used the wall rock as a pedal, reflexively slashed towards the Grim Reaper.

The eyeballs began to reverse upwards with a terrifying amplitude, and the Grim Reaper Boss actually blocked Yuki's one-handed sword skill with only his right hand.

"Cut."

Before being hit again by the scythe, the expression of the sword girl who fell to the ground gradually became solemn.

(It's worthy of being a boss-level monster above the 90th floor, is it still too reluctant to play with an ordinary style...... )

This kind of strength can be said to be very different from the previous boss-level boss.

(In this case, there is only ...... )

Looking at the scythe that had been slashed down from above, Yuki made a decision.

"No——!!!!"

(——! )

It's just that before the Absolute Sword Maiden can enter the state of unity again, Yui, who has regained consciousness at some point, has already rushed up from behind, and stopped the attack of the Grim Reaper with the purple shield of "Immortal Object (Indestructible)".

"Yui!"

Surprised to call out the little girl's name, could it be that the memory has been restored?!

Some glanced at Yuki with some affection, and Yui, who was not confused in his eyes, lightly opened his small lips.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for your trouble........."

"Yuki-san......"

As if to say goodbye, Yui, who had a serious expression, stretched out her right hand, and the flames that should not have appeared gathered in her hand as something began to brew.

“……”

"What did you say all of a sudden......"

The small palm pressed against Yui's small head, causing her movements to falter slightly.

"Didn't I tell you before?"

"'Even if you regain your memory, you don't have to do anything.'"

“——?!”

Turning her head to look at the sword girl beside her, the little girl's eyes widened slightly.

"Let's go to the safe area next to it and rest for a while, if you have anything to say, let's have a good chat later."

Passing past the little girl, Yuki, whose hair was dyed blonde again, walked in front of the god of death who had just been catapulted.

"I've kept you waiting, let's start the second round!"

Raising the corners of his mouth at the Grim Reaper Boss, the sword shone with an incomparable light.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

【Congratulation! 】

"Oh oh oh ——!!!!"

As the boss of the Sheep's Head and Snake Tail exploded into pieces, the dialog box congratulating the completion of the seventy-fourth floor also appeared in front of everyone.

In the midst of the celebration, Klein patted Kirito on the shoulder.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I watch it, it's still so powerful! It's called "Star burst stream", right?! ”

"Ahaha......"

With an expression that he couldn't stand it, Kirito shrunk his shoulders.

Although this is not the first time to use "Two Knife Flow", in the eyes of ordinary players, this skill is completely like a bug in this game.

……

"Nana, Lifa, who do you think is more powerful, Yuki or your brother?"

Resisting her own hammer, the blacksmith girl looked at the young man who was surrounded by Klein and them, and asked Naoba with a little dark belly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly asked this question, Naoba looked at his brother, and then at Lanzi who was standing on the side.

“…… Hmph, do you still need to ask this kind of question? Of course that stupid guy is even more powerful! ”

Glancing at Lizzebet, who was smiling evilly, Naoba replied very intelligently.

"Is it—"

Lizbet, who deliberately dragged out her tone and wanted to 'make trouble', was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

And now they didn't expect that today's joking question would be answered so quickly.
