"Shoot!!"

In response to that voice, a white dragon fired a flame charge.

The huge flame projectile dyed red around it flew straight away without confusion, and finally hit the giant monster in front of it, exploding and bursting. The shockwave after the explosion reverberated throughout the room, and the flames consumed the monster.

What was it just now—a few seconds later, a black shadow leaped out of the rolling flames, and the flames vanished as if they had been torn apart.

Emerging from the middle was a huge creature. It is covered in black scales, and its arms and wings are fused together. The head is as distinct as an arrow. The monster known as the Pterodactyl in the fantasy world, is it.

The body of the Black Pterodactyl (Wyvern) has produced countless special effects similar to red scars at this moment, and only one "HP bar" on the top of its head remains, and the color has changed to red.

"Okay, hold on a little longer and it will be solved"

Muttering to himself, a "voice" came to his head. The voice was very similar to that of a middle-aged woman.

"Yes. But don't take it lightly, Kirito. I don't know what it's going to do at the end."

Nodding at the "voice", Kirito looked ahead again. In front of him was a fierce wyvern, staring at Kirito and the others with clear hostility and anger. It looks very exciting.

If Kirito was the only one to defeat it, it would certainly be very difficult. However, Kirito has buddies around him. They have experienced bitterness and joy together, and have faced the strong men who have faced such a giant monster in front of them many times and won each time.

In the midst of them, Kirito's most trusted companion mount was stepping on his shoulder. It has the silhouette of a wolf, its body is covered in a white-gold carapace and fur, and a pair of huge wings spread out on its back, reminiscent of angels. From its forehead grew a dragon with horns similar to the design of the Holy Sword.

"Normally, Xiang is an existence that cannot be a partner, and can only be the object of enemy fighting, but now, this is the residence of Kirito.

If you look closely, just like the flying dragon in front of you, an "HP bar" appears. Since the recovery skill was just used, the remaining amount is close to the maximum. Don't worry too much about that.

At the moment of confirmation. The confronting wyvern let out a high-pitched roar and flapped its wings to soar above the room.

When the warriors and swordsmen were annoyed that the wyvern had flown to a height beyond their reach, the wyvern opened its jaws, and a pale light glowed from its mouth.

Pterodactyls and dragons that appear in fantasy works have special abilities such as spewing fire and lightning from their mouths. The wyvern fighting in front of him was no exception. In battle, it spews pale thunder and lightning breath from its mouth many times to perform long-range attacks, making it a tricky monster.

Now, the Wyvern has risen to a height where it can be safe, and it is estimated that it intends to attack this side with the Breath of Thunder and Lightning.

The battle with the Wyvern has been going on for a long time, and the companions are also very tired. Once hit by the Breath of Lightning, it's easy to imagine what will happen.

“Riran!“

"Ahh Hold on tight! ”

Calling the dragon's name, the "voice" sounded in his head again, and the dragon quickly became alert. From the dragon's mouth came the sound of a flame burning, and a hot wind came to the face.

After a few seconds, the wyvern opened its mouth in the air and spewed a pale beam of light from its body. At the same time, the dragon riding on Kirito also opened its jaws, releasing a scorching beam of light from the converging flames, which met the beam of the flying dragon.

"The two beams collided with each other, and there was what humans call a battle of fighting spirits. Fierce hot wind and flashes hit, but Kirito clung to the trusty dragon and held on.

Lightning and scorching, thunder and lightning. Due to the offense and defense of the two attribute attacks, the entire room shook, and the storm brought by the hot wind raged. Trying to control the confrontation that humans absolutely cannot have happened is the opposing Wyvern.

The lightning beam released by the wyvern did not stop, but instead increased its output over time, pushing the scorching beam back from this side. The dragon sitting on Kirito also seemed surprised by the power of the wyvern, and desperately increased the output, but the wyvern still suppressed steadily.

This may be because I feel the underlying power of the life crisis, and if it continues anyway, this side will definitely fail.

"...... there"

That's when it was. A quiet, but firm, powerful voice came into his ears, and an explosion occurred in the face of the wyvern.

The wyvern, whose face was suddenly shattered, let out a mournful roar, and its body lost its balance and interrupted its breathing. With a loud bang, it hit the ground, causing a strong vibration.

After watching the dragon leave, he turned to look and found that among the companions who prepared the sword and spear, there was only one girl holding a bow, and the posture was the same as after the arrow was released. Her attack helps the beleaguered Lilan, knocking the wyvern to the ground.

After the girl untied her body, she shouted at Kirito.

"Kirito, Lilan! Rush up!! “

"Shino, well done!"

Accepting the girl's words, Kirito thanked her and turned to face forward.

The wyvern that fell from the sky lay on the ground motionless. It has very little "HP bar" left, and if everyone attacks together, it can be killed.

This is a rare opportunity.

"Lilan, let's go!!"

After hearing her master's voice, Lilan stomped on the ground and rushed straight towards the Wyvern. At the same time, the surrounding friends also ran towards the wyvern who had fallen to the ground. The fastest of them all was, of course, Lilan, who arrived at the Wyvern in less than two seconds.

At that moment, however, the wyvern suddenly got up, stood up on its hind legs only, and slammed at them with its front paws that merged with its wings. Of course, the target is Lilan, and Kirito, who is riding on her, is also targeted.

But this time, as if expected, Lilan also stood up on her hind legs and caught the Wyvern's attack with her strong front paws. The heavy sound and vibration from the collision of the huge creature with their own height and mass several times the difference was transmitted through Lilan's body to her abdomen.

Despite such a violent shock, she almost let go, but she grabbed hard again. In front of her was a terrifying-looking wyvern-looking dragon. However, due to being grabbed by Lilan's hands, the wyvern was unable to move, and its feet were completely empty.

Immediately someone understood this, and loud shouts were heard from around.

"The action has stopped! Now is your chance!! “

"There it is! Let's attack together and give it a fatal blow!! “

The surrounding warriors and swordsmen heard the shouts of the maroon-haired maiden and the blue-haired knight, and together they flew towards the gap beneath the dragon's feet. Soon, the weapons in their hands shone brightly, and various stunts were unleashed, slashing the dragon's feet into a thousand holes.

The wyvern, who was hit by the rainbow-colored light explosion under his feet, immediately lost his balance, was suppressed by Lilan, and fell to his knees. It only takes a few attacks to completely disappear the remaining amount of "HP Bar".

At the moment of witnessing this scene, a voice came to my head.

"Kirito, give it the final blow!!"

Hearing Lilan's voice, Kirito stood up, pulled out his one-handed sword behind his back, got ready, and then kicked Lilan in the neck and jumped up. He targets the head of the Wyvern, who is suppressed by Lilan.

As you fly in the air, the distance to the wyvern is shortened, and the golden eyes meet the gaze of the wyvern. Between that terrifying gaze and aiming between his eyebrows, Kirito prepared his sword. The next moment, the sword was enveloped in golden light.

"Haaa

While making contact with the wyvern's head, he roared from the depths of his heart, and his whole body burst with strength, stabbing a sword. The black blade protruded at the speed of sound, piercing deep into the wyvern's eyebrows, and golden light erupted.

Single-shot heavy attack, one-handed sword skill "Decapitation Strike".

When the explosion was complete, the wyvern let out a high-pitched scream, but stopped midway through, frozen. Just as the companions also stopped attacking, the room was silent.

Soon, Kirito put away his sword and returned to Lilan's side, and the wyvern's body was surrounded by a white shimmer, forming a silhouette before exploding. Countless polygon fragments of various sizes disappeared.

Silence returned to the battlefield and no one made a sound, and at this time a string of words appeared in the place where the Wyvern was: "Congratulations!!" ", indicating that the boss has been defeated, accompanied by a loud sound effect.

When the surrounding players saw this effect, they cheered as if they were celebrating a victory. Kirito sat on Lilan's neck again, like a straddle horse. Perhaps it was because he had defeated the leader by exerting too much force, or perhaps he was relieved that he had successfully defeated the leader, he sighed.

The surrounding warriors made a happy voice together, but Kirito couldn't help but feel that he had no more energy left.

Just when I was tired like this, a voice came from below. Approach Lilan's feet with her fellow victorious companions.

Kirito confirms and instructs Lilan to lie down. Lilan did so and stuck to the ground, and he jumped off with a light buck. Soon, the buddies arrive at Lilan's feet to greet Kirito.

One of them, a young man with blue hair and a knight's outfit, walked up to Kirito and spoke to him.

"Kirito, it's been a great job. This battle is still excellent. “

"Diabel, you've worked hard, too. The battle was very exciting. It looks like no players are dying, which is fantastic. “

"I'm glad to hear you say that, but I still think that your and Lilan's strength is the key to our victory. Your combination can turn the tide of battle. “

Diabel's words made Kirito feel happy inside.

However, being able to win without a victim in a battle with the boss monster was possible thanks to the guidance and tactics of Diabel, who had been fighting from the first floor. Moreover, to fully unleash Lilan's power, the support of the surrounding players is essential. And it's not just the power of Kirito and Lilan that brings the victory.

Just as they were about to convey the idea to Diabel, a young girl who was shouting at Lilan who was lying on the ground walked up to Kirito's side.

Long chestnut hair and amber eyes radiate a beautiful glow. She wears a battle uniform based on white and red, and wears a noble sword at her waist. She led the players who participated in this boss battle, and a gentle smile appeared on her face at this moment.

Kirito smiled similarly and responded.

"That's right, Asuna, you've got a lot of work to show you too. Today's instructions and tactics are better than usual. “

Asuna's expression softened when she heard Kirito call her name. In fact, thanks to her instructions, players are able to accurately respond and fight with the Wyvern. No one was killed, thanks to the instructions of Diabel and Asuna.

In addition, Asuna's own sword skills also inflicted considerable damage on the Wyvern.

"I always feel that as long as I am with Kirito-kun and Lilan, I will have a sense of steadiness and be able to better exert my command ability. Maybe it's because Kirito-kun and Lilan have a magical power that can make everyone stronger. “

"Not really. Lilan and I were able to fight successfully because we were all together to support us. It was because of everyone's presence that Lilan and I were able to fight. And there are times when we can be in danger without everyone's help. “

Asuna smiled and said, "Yes." She looked behind Kirito, who followed her gaze.
