Chapter 84: Vacation (10)
When you first enter the labyrinth, the monster group, which is mainly water creatures, changes into zombies, ghosts, and other horror systems as the floor descends. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ However, no matter what kind of monster it was, it was instantly slaughtered by Zheng Shuanglong with two swords.
To be honest, it's usually rude for high-level players to make a fuss in a practice area that is lower than their own. It's also very unnecessary. After all, monsters with too many different levels really give too little experience.
But this time there was no one else, so there was no need to care. If time is sufficient, it is even possible to level up by Liel from the sidelines, but the highest priority for now is to rescue Sinka.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Zheng Shuanglong and his entourage also used a steady speed to close the distance between the current location marked on the map and the safe area where Xinka was located. After countless black skeleton swordsmen were shattered and knocked away by Zheng Shuanglong's sword, they finally saw the passage that emitted a warm light.
Looking at the passage that emitted this light, Lixia, who was holding Yui, said softly, "Ah, it's a safe place!"
While Lixia spoke, Zheng Shuanglong, who had completed the confirmation with the enemy search skill, also nodded and said, "There is a green player inside. β
"Xinka!" As if she couldn't bear it anymore, Yuriel screamed, and ran out with steps that made the metal armor rattle.
Seeing Yuriyer's reckless behavior, Zheng Shuanglong, who was holding a sword in both hands, and Lixia, who was holding Yui, also hurriedly followed.
After running towards the light source for a few seconds on the passage that curved to the right, I finally saw a small room in front of the Grand Crossroads.
The room was filled with a blinding light that blinded eyes accustomed to darkness, and a man stood at the entrance. Although he couldn't see his face clearly because of the backlight, he was waving his arms violently towards it.
"Yuriel ββ!" The moment the person was confirmed, the man shouted his name.
Yuriel also waved her left hand and increased the speed of her run. "ββ! Sinka "
As if to drown out the crying voice, the man shouted, "No, you can't come ββ! ...... the passage!"
Lixia was startled and immediately slowed down. Zheng Shuanglong also slowed down quickly. But Yuriel didn't seem to listen anymore, and just ran straight to the room.
At this moment, a few meters in front of the room, a yellow arrow suddenly appeared in the blind corner on the right side of another road that crossed at right angles to the passage where everyone was running. Lixia quickly confirmed the name, showing it as "Thc Fatal-scythe". The definite article added before the proper noun meaning the scythe of fate is the proof of the boss monster.
"No! Come back quickly, Miss Julielle!" Lixia screams when she discovers the existence of the boss.
The yellow arrow is rapidly moving to the left, gradually approaching the intersection of the crossroads. If you continue like this, it will only take a few seconds to hit Yuriel at the intersection. With Yuriel's strength that even the monsters of the sixty floors are struggling, it is really too dangerous to face the attacks of boss-level monsters.
Suddenly, Zheng Shuanglong, who was running in front of Lixia's left, seemed to disappear in an instant.
In fact, Zheng Shuanglong galloped out at a very exaggerated speed, and the impact sound of "pound" shook the surrounding walls slightly.
Zheng Shuanglong, who had moved a distance of several meters with an aura equivalent to teleportation, grabbed Yuriyeer's body from behind with his right hand, and stabbed his sword into the stone floor with his left hand, emitting a sharp metallic sound and a large number of sparks. A huge black shadow rumbled the ground and sliced across the two men parked in front of the intersection with the emergency brakes that would scorch the air.
The yellow arrow rushed into the passage on the left and moved about ten meters before stopping. The invisible monster slowly changed direction, and it felt like it was about to rush again.
Zheng Shuanglong let go of Yu Lier, pulled out the sword that pierced the ground, and ran into the left passage. Lixia, who was holding Yui, also hurriedly chased after her.
Lixia picked up Yuriel, who had fallen to the ground, and pushed her to the other side of the intersection, then put down Yui in her arms and handed her to take care of her, and shouted briefly, "Please take this child and retreat to safety!"
This death game is not dangerous for Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia, and they will not die, so at the first moment, Lixia made a choice, letting Yui and Yuriyer, Xinka, and other players who will really die leave quickly.
After confirming that the whip envoy Yuriel nodded palely, and picked up Yui and walked to the room, Lixia drew her sword and headed to the left.
Zheng Shuanglong's back standing still with his twin swords in his hands came into Lixia's eyes. Floating in the depths was a black figure about two and a half meters tall and covered in tattered black robes.
Deep in the hat and on the arms sticking out of the cuffs, all wrapped around the dense darkness swayed. The eyes embedded in the dark face were covered with lifelike veins, and they were turning to look down on the two of them. In his right hand he held a long, large scythe, and drops of red viscous water continued to drip from the menacingly curved blade. Overall, it's what death looks like.
The Grim Reaper rolled his eyes and stared straight at Lixia. At this moment, Lixia's heart seemed to be gripped by a sense of pure fear, and the chill ran through her body.
However, in terms of rank, it should not be feared.
Just as Lixia thought about this and raised the Demon Slaying Blade, Zheng Shuanglong, who was standing in front of her, said in a hoarse voice: "Lixia, you immediately go to the safe area and take the other three people out with crystals." β
"Huh......?" Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Lixia couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"This guy is pretty tricky. I can't even use my recognition skills to get the data, and the strength should be above the ninety-fifth level......" Staring at the Grim Reaper, Zheng Shuanglong said quickly in a hoarse voice.
Zheng Shuanglong's level is level ninety-five, and the recognition skill that is not very proficient can identify monsters higher than the third level, so Zheng Shuanglong can identify monsters within the ninety-eighth layer, but until now, Zheng Shuanglong is also blank when he looks at the god of death.
This shows that this boss-level monster should be a monster on the ninety-ninth floor. After all, there is only one Ruby Palace on the hundredth floor, and there is only one boss in the Ruby Palace.
Zheng Shuanglong, who figured out what kind of monster the Grim Reaper was, had an urge to inhale cold air, a labyrinth of the Black Iron Palace, there was such a terrifying monster, this was going to die. It's so brutal.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦!β Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, Lixia gasped and stiffened all over. As for how powerful the monsters above the ninety-fifth floor are, Lixia still has some guesses.
This kind of monster is so likely to be too big.,Forget about ordinary monsters above the ninety-fifth floor.,Boss-level monsters above the ninety-fifth floor.,It's a big joke.γ
As Lixia was scared in, the Grim Reaper slowly moved in the air and leaned towards the two of them.
"I'm in charge of delaying time, run away!" With a swing of the two swords, Zheng Shuanglong said hurriedly.
Although he planned to leave here after killing the boss on the seventy-fifth floor, Zheng Shuanglong never thought that he was cut down by a monster and left this game. After all, leaving like that would be quite face-giving.
"Zheng, also ...... together," Lixia, who was holding the Demon Slaying Blade, said quickly.
"I'll be there then! Let's go!" Before Lixia could finish speaking, Zheng Shuanglong interrupted Lixia's words and said in an unquestionable tone.
Let the girl be sent to death after being broken, Zheng Shuanglong can't do this kind of thing, whether it is in the game or in reality. After all, in Zheng Shuanglong's opinion, he might be able to fight that god of death a few times, but Lixia's words were a little worse, and once he fought with that god of death, he would not be able to escape at all.
You know, even as a last resort, transferring crystals is not a panacea. There is a delay of a few seconds between holding the crystal and specifying the transfer location until the teleport is actually activated. If you are attacked by a monster during this time, the transfer will also be canceled.
Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's order, Lixia, who is usually very well-behaved and docile, fell into a state of confusion.
Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words and leaving with everyone, or staying with Zheng Shuanglong strongly, these two points of view made Lixia fall into an inner conflict.
Zheng Shuanglong will not let a girl like Lixia make a death-like cutoff, and Lixia naturally will not let Zheng Shuanglong take risks alone. The speed at which the Grim Reaper was moving was really too fast. Lixia didn't believe that Zheng Shuanglong would be able to escape the pursuit of the Grim Reaper after the four of them left with the transfer crystal.
Lixia glanced into the depths of the passage on the right.
Yui, I'm sorry, I promised to see you happy......
Thinking so in her heart, Lixia shouted, "Miss Yuriel, Yui will leave it to you! Run away with the three of you!"
Hearing Lixia's decision, Yuriel shook her head with a stiff expression and said, "This ...... How can this be ......?"
"Hurry up!" Holding the Demon Slaying Blade high, Lixia, who was blooming with purple light, urged loudly.
At this moment, the Grim Reaper, who slowly swung his scythe, emitted a miasma from the hem of his robe, and began to advance menacingly.
Zheng Shuanglong crossed his swords and stood straight in front of Lixia. Lixia also clinged to Zheng Shuanglong's back and placed the Demon Slaying Blade on Zheng Shuanglong's double swords. And the Grim Reaper didn't care about the three swords at all, and swung the scythe at the top of the two heads.
Red flashes, shocks. The Demon Slayer Blade was bounced off, and the twin swords in Zheng Shuanglong's hands were also bounced off.
Lixia felt herself spinning. It hit the ground, then bounced off the ceiling and fell back to the ground. Breathing stopped, and the vision went dark.
In a hazy consciousness, he confirmed his HP bar with Zheng Shuanglong, and found that both of them lost more than half of their health because of this blow. The relentless yellow color means that they will not be able to survive the next attack. If you don't stand up...... Despite thinking so, my body couldn't move......
That Grim Reaper's blow was really too powerful. is so powerful that Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia can't adapt at all. Should it be said that it is worthy of being a BOSS-level monster on the ninety-ninth floor, the strong one is really terrifying.
At this moment, the sound of crackling footsteps came into my ears. Lixia rolled her gaze in surprise, and the innocent and moving pace of a kitten who didn't know there was danger ahead came into view.
Slender hands and feet, long black hair. It was Yui who was supposed to be in the back of the safe zone. Without a hint of fear, his gaze stared straight at the great Grim Reaper.
"Yui! Hurry up and get away!" Lixia struggled to prop up her upper body and screamed at the same time.
The Grim Reaper swung his scythe heavily, and if he was involved in an attack of that range, Yui's health would indeed dissipate.
However, the next moment something unbelievable happened.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry." As she spoke, Yui's body floated into the air.
It wasn't a jump, but it was like flapping an invisible wing, hovering in the air about two meters in the air, which was so incredible in a SAO without magic, and then Yui gently raised the right hand that was too small.
"No, you can'......! Yui, hurry up and get away. Hurry!" As if to dispel Lixia's screams, the Grim Reaper's scythe dragged a crimson glow and swung it down mercilessly. The sharp slash that can only be described as ferocious, and it looks like it's about to touch Yui's white palmβ
At this moment, the vivid purple barrier blocked the scythe and bounced away with a loud bang. Lixia stared in amazement at the system sign that appeared in front of Yui's palm.
It does say "Immortal Object" there. The undead exist.
Attributes that cannot be given to the player.
The Black Grim Reaper rolled his eyes as if he was overwhelmed by this. But after that, something happened that surprised Lixia even more.
With "Boom!" A red lotus flame burst from the center of Yui's right hand. The flames spread for a split second, then immediately coalesced and wound into elongated shapes. It gradually turned into a giant sword. The flame-colored blade emerges from the flames and continues to extend.
The greatsword that appears on Yui's right hand is much longer than her height. The metallic glow before the melting point illuminated the passage completely. As if pierced by the flames of the sword, the heavy winter coat on Yui's body burned away in an instant, and the white dress that had been draped over her at the beginning appeared. Incredibly, the dress and long black hair, although also involved in the flames, were completely unaffected.
Yui slammed the sword, which was far taller than herself, "Bang!" Spinning in a circle, not seeing the slightest hesitation, Yui dragged the trail of flames to attack the Black Reaper.
Apparently it was just a boss monster that made actions purely based on system calculations, but Lixia felt that she could see a clear look of fear in her bloodshot eyes.
Yui, whose body was wrapped in a vortex of flames, rushed through the air with a loud noise. As if afraid of this petite girl who was far smaller than himself, the Grim Reaper raised his scythe forward and assumed a defensive posture. Yui faced the Grim Reaper and swung his huge flaming sword from the front.
The blade erupted violently with flames, and the hilt of the scythe that was raised high in the air collided. Both stopped in an instant.
In the next instant, Yui's flaming sword moved again. The immeasurable heat energy seemed to scorch and cut through the metal, and the glowing blade ate into the handle of the sickle little by little. Yui's long hair, dress, and Death's robes all flew backwards as if they were about to be torn apart, and sometimes the labyrinth was dyed bright orange with huge sparks.
Finally, the Grim Reaper's scythe broke in half with a thud. In the next instant, the giant sword that turned into a pillar of flame burst out all the energy that had been accumulated so far, and slashed down at the center of the boss's face. (To be continued.) )
