"Sneer......"

Pulling out the double sword, Mouton stepped on his feet and quickly retreated to the rear, and the boss's stiff state was about to recover, so Mouton's movements also accelerated a lot.

Looking at Mouton who retreated to his side, Heathcliff stared at the boss in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Mouton-kun, I didn't expect your strength to increase so much......"

"Now is not the time to say this, we have to block the boss's attack, and we have to let the output of other players play." Mouton turned his head and glanced at him, and Asuna also appeared beside him at this time.

"Wow ......"

The bone hunter who straightened his body, made an ugly sound in his mouth, shook his huge head bulging back, and saw clearly Mouton standing not far in front of him, the red light in the bone hunter's eyes became more and more vigorous, directly ignoring the players around him, and the countless foot bones around him quickly slid up, heading straight for Mouton.

"It's coming!" Heathcliff snorted, reminding the two of them.

"Asuna, prepare."

"Kiri!" The two glanced at each other, and they had already put on a posture to release their skills, and when Heathcliff saw it, the red figure stood in front of the two, and the shield was raised high, catching the boss's scythe!

"Go!"

Mouton and Asuna shouted softly in unison, and the three swords came out together, and the body of the bone hunter trembled madly after coming into contact with the attack of the two, and the blood bar dropped a lot at a time!

"Output!"

Kirito, Keita, Klein, Achill and others quickly adjusted their attack formation, seized this opportunity, and countless skills fell on the boss's body in an instant, and the boss's green health also dropped rapidly at this moment!

Although the single attack of these players cannot bring obvious damage to the boss, the combined attacks of all players are not the existence that can be underestimated, and ants can bite and kill elephants, not to mention that everyone is not ants!

The continuous decline in health caused the bone hunter to erupt in frequent roars, and the scythe behind the big mouth was blocked by Mouton, Asuna and Heathcliff, and there was no other attack to attack the players next to him.

In itself, the most powerful thing about the Bone Hunter is its sharp fanged scythe, which is now restrained, and the boss can't exert its due power at all.

The attack, carried out in an orderly manner, is kept in good condition, and the BOSS's health bar is constantly decreasing, although there are player sacrifices from time to time, but in exchange for a more powerful power output later.

In Sao, it is extremely cruel, these players sacrifice their lives for their companions, or with the dream of going out, one after another, and every player who bursts out of anger brings unimaginable power!

Humans, with a goal and unprecedented motivation, burst out with enough power to make monsters tremble!

"Roaring ......"

Dozens of minutes later, the boss's five-grid life gauge has been beaten to the bottom by everyone, and seeing the last little red blood line, Heathcliff gave an order: "All players, assault!" ”

At this moment, the formation was all abandoned, and all the players' weapons lit up with their due skill brilliance, colorful lights flashed in the boss's room, and the bone hunter raised his head and burst out with a final roar!

"Die!"

Countless players roared angrily, and the sound of Bang Bang Bang Bang Skill bombarded the bone hunter, and the blood bar that was originally only left was already bottomed out by everyone working together to destroy it in an instant!

"Woo......"

After the last poignant roar, the body raised by the boss gradually lost its strength, and fell to the ground limply, and the huge body exploded with a "bang", turning into countless fragments of light, and dissipating in everyone's sight.

"Cleared!"

"Finally, it's finally cleared."

Everyone looked at the clearance prompt displayed above their heads, and everyone's hearts were unprecedentedly excited, and the cheers that should have appeared were also due to exhaustion, and there was no movement.

In this difficult boss battle, Mouton's contribution is particularly huge, and players such as Asuna and Kirito also play their due level of strength.

Looking at the data fragments flying in the sky, countless players fell to the ground limply, Mouton looked at Heathcliff standing with a shield, and the dual swords in his hands tightened slightly.

"Kiri...... How many people died in this battle......" Asuna, who was supported by Mouton, asked tiredly as she thought of the previous scene.

Glancing at the list of systems, Mouton was slightly silent before he said, "Six." ”

Even if there is Mouton this time, the casualties have been minimized as much as possible, but in the battle, there will be casualties, which is inevitable, but when everyone heard this number, the whole room couldn't help but be quiet, and even the gasping sound disappeared.

"Six-person ......" Kirito clenched his fists deadly, this number represents a heavy loss in this battle......

Compared with the degree of damage in the original book, this boss battle is perfect enough, but all of this is the reason for the existence of Mouton, Mouton alone, he has blocked a lot of attacks for other players, if there is no Mouton this time, then, the tragedy of the boss battle can be imagined.

"Asuna ......"

"Huh......?"

"Let's get out."

"Kiri, what are you talking about?" Asuna looked at Mouton in disbelief, not understanding what Mouton meant.

"Whoa......" looked down at the fluorescent moon in his hand, Mouton glanced at Heathcliff in the distance, and then with a twist of his wrist, under Asuna's stunned gaze, he shot out moon by moon, aiming directly at Heathcliff!

"Ding......

At the moment when Heathcliff was about to be stabbed by the moon, a red barrier suddenly rose in front of Heathcliff, blocking Mouton's attack smoothly and easily.

"Huh?" Heathcliff also came back to his senses at this time, and after seeing the fluorescent long sword falling in front of him with a 'ding', Heathcliff's originally indifferent expression suddenly became difficult to see.

"What's going on?"

"The ...... What is it? ”

Seeing Kirito and other players who saw this scene, they looked at Heathcliff not far away with a blank look.

"Kiri...... That's ......" Asuna naturally noticed the scene, her eyes full of doubt.

Facing the eyes of all the players, Mouton walked over slowly, saying as he walked: "As the president of the Blood Alliance Knights, his health will never be reduced to yellow status, because he is protected by the system. ”

"What?!"

"Protected by the system?"

"What does that mean?"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Heathcliff's hands holding the shield loosened slightly, stared at Mouton for a while, and then smiled: "Mouton-kun...... Once again, you were beyond my expectations. ”

"I didn't expect you to reveal my identity here, according to my guess, it should be the duel a few months ago that made you discover some clues about me, plus this team battle, combined with these reasons, it led you to discover my identity, right?"

"You can think so, Akihiko Kayaba." Mouton withdrew his twin swords and said lightly.

"Akihiko Kayaba?"

"President...... Be...... Is it Akihiko Aoba? Asuna couldn't believe what she had heard.

Ignoring the shocked gazes of the other players, Heathcliff nodded slightly: "Since you have been discovered by Mouton-kun, then, I can't hide it, yes, I am Akihiko Kayaba." To be more precise, I was supposed to be waiting for the final boss of the game at the top. ”

Looking around at the shocked faces of all the players, Heathcliff glanced at Mouton, who did not have any change in expression, and said in a strange voice: "Mouton-kun, are you not surprised by my final identity?" ”

"Relatively speaking, there's nothing surprising." Mouton crossed his arms and asked, "Are you going to continue playing your boring game?" ”

"No, no, no, how could it be." Heathcliff shook his head with a smile and said, "Now that Mouton-kun knows my identity, there is no need for this game to continue. ”

Mouton pouted: "It's really a bad taste." ”

"I've been paying attention to your growth since Mouton-kun got through the boss of the first layer, to be honest, Mouton-kun's existence makes me feel scared, I never thought that human reflexes and body coordination could go beyond that situation, so I already expected that the last person to stand in front of me must be you, but this day seems to be a little faster."

Glancing at Mouton, Heathcliff groaned a little, and then said: "Mouton-kun, your existence is beyond my expectations, and now, I have discovered my identity again, then, this time, I will give you a reward, as long as you can defeat me, this game will be regarded as a complete clearance, how about it?" ”
