The next day, in front of the transfer gate square in Corinia City on the seventy-fifth floor, there was a group of players with a fairly high level gathered there, and they were the strategy group.

Zhang Yu and Asuna came out of the transfer door and walked over to them. After seeing them, everyone closed their mouths tightly, and saluted Zhang Yu Asuna with nervous expressions. This is the respect for the strong, [Shining Jade]!

"Phew!"

Zhang Yu looked back because someone was greeting him behind him. I saw a slender and soft face like a girl smiling and waving, it was the black-clothed swordsman Kirito.

There was also a knife next to him, and Klein's face with a low-level patterned turban was smiling. There was also a huge body, it was Achill, a strong black man with a two-handed axe in his hand, and he was heavily armed.

"Sure enough...... You're all here. ”

Zhang Yu looked at them and nodded as well. I met Kirito before.,And I have a good relationship with Klein and Akyle.。

"Of course!"

Achill, who looked excited, said in a rough voice.

"I heard that this battle will be quite hard, so I will leave the business and run to help. Kirito still has no way to understand my great sentiment of selflessness and desirelessness......"

Akyl continued to speak in exaggerated motions, and Kirito slapped Akyl on the arm and said to him.

"I know your selflessness very well now. Then you don't have to count your share when distributing the spoils? ”

As soon as he heard Kirito say this, Achill put his hand on his bare head, his brow furrowed into a figure-eight shape.

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

Zhang Yu, Asuna, and Klein heard him start to slurred his words spinelessly, and the three of them laughed cheerfully at the same time.

"Sure enough, there are some things, but I still think it's funnier when I see them in real life."

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 strength of the rank, the only person with the highest level should be Heatscliff himself. But their unity is something that 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.

After the paladin and his four subordinates split the player group into two sides, they walked directly towards Zhang Yu and them. When Klein and Achill were forced to take a few steps back by oppression, Zhang Yu and Asuna stood still with relaxed expressions, after all, [Jade of Flash] also has the reputation of being the strongest guild.

Heathcliff, who had stopped, nodded to them and began to speak to 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.

"The truth of acting is like ......"

As if sensing Zhang Yu's gaze, Heathcliff turned to him with a slight smile and spoke.

"Yujun, I'll leave it to you today, I'm looking forward to your performance."

In that low, soft voice, there was no real fluctuation at all.

"...... that will make you see"

After Zhang Yu nodded wordlessly in response, Heathcliff turned his head to face the player group again, and 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 the designated street, but now the [Corridor Crystal] prop in Heathcliff's hand can record any location, and then open the transfer door to reach the record 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 us off. Amidst the shouts of encouragement, one by one, the swordsmen plunged into the corridor of light and shifted towards their destination.

In the end, only Zhang Yu and Asuna were left.

"I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

"Okay, Dad."

A small head sticks out of Asuna's long chestnut-colored hair and nods at Zhang Yu with a smile. It was Yui who used part of the GM system to make the permissions smaller.,When they were still worried about what to do with Yui in the strategy group.,She took the initiative to propose this method herself.。

Zhang Yu and Asuna nodded slightly, holding hands, and jumped into the vortex of light at the same time.

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.

After materializing the crossshield in the middle of the corridor, Heathcliff shook his whole body and made the equipment make 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 a low, magnetic voice, Heathcliff walked straight to the obsidian door and placed his right hand in the center of it. The swordsmen all began to get nervous.

Zhang Yu patted the shoulder of the black-clothed swordsman Zhang Yu who was standing side by side, turned his head and said to Achill and Klein in front of him.

"Don't die, you're going to succeed. It's a shame to die in this battle. ”

"Immediately? It's still early. It's only seventy-five floors now. But I'm not going to die here! ”

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

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

Kirito thought of the moonlit night black cat group who was dissuaded by himself from coming to the strategy group today, as well as his parents and sisters in real life, and spoke very firmly. Achill and Klein responded arrogantly.

There was a heavy thud from the door, and it slowly moved. The players pulled out their weapons together, and Zhang Yu also pulled out the long sword on his back. He glanced at Asuna, who was next to her with a thin sword, and nodded at her.

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

"—The battle begins!"

Then he walked into the completely open door, and all of them followed him.
