Lilan didn't listen to me. When he saw the approaching six fists, he flashed his horns again, flapped his wings and jumped into the air, grabbing his body with his fur to prevent him from floating. Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of cutting air and a heavy tearing sound. When Lilan stabilized, I saw that the arms of the approaching Colossus had all been severed and turned into a state of destruction.

The Colossus has only a few pixels left in its health bar.

"You caught up with it...!?"

Immediately after, Lilan's voice rang in my head.

"Kirito, it's up to you to end it!"

"I, I'm going to end it?"

"Yes! The Colossus is no longer able to move! If you can split it in half, this abominable battle will be over! “

Indeed, the Colossus had weakened to the point of being unable to move, and did not even show any signs of movement. No, maybe it can still move, but if you attack before it moves, you can defeat it if it can't do anything.

But, can I do it? If I defeat the boss, the fight will indeed end and we can move on to the next level. However, if I end it, it means that I will take away most of the XP points held by this boss, and I will be rewarded with the final blow. The hero of this battle should be Diabel.

First of all, why name me to end it? If you have that much power, you can finish the boss yourself!

"Why do you name me? Can't you do it yourself!? “

"It looks like I can weaken the boss, but I can't deal a critical blow. I unleashed my sword technique, intending to knock out all of its stamina, but I didn't reach the excess damage. So it's your turn! “

"What!"

"Now is not the time to hesitate! If you don't act, the Colossus will move and squash Diabel and them! “

Now there is no time to hesitate. While I might be considered to have snatched the final blow reward and been scolded as a bastard who took the last bite of soup, but... It's better than losing Diabel's life.

Put an end to this abominable Colossus!

"I'm coming!!"

As I said this, I kicked Lilan in the back and leaped upward, gripping the sword tightly on top of the Colossus's head. Below, multiple players are killed, the Colossus loses multiple arms, and Diabels fall nearby. The Colossus even tried to kill the fallen Diabels. I pointed at the Colossus, and the sword descended sharply. Although there is no sword skill similar to bamboo splitting, it is enough for the end of the Colossus!

"Whoa, whoa, a!!a

I shouted, swung my sword and slashed down, splitting the abominable Colossus in half from its head. Then I landed on the ground with force, and the sword pierced the body of the Colossus, and the Colossus stopped moving.

I looked up and a bright red line appeared in the center of the Colossus, and from there, the Colossus split in half and tried to fall to the horizontal ground, but stopped in an instant and turned into an aqua-blue silhouette that became a mass of polygonal fragments that burst out.

It's over. The boss on floor 50 is dead.

When I turned to the place where the towering Tower of Hekatos was, my eyes fell on a line of words, praise defeated "Congratulations!!" The word "boss" appeared. At the same time, I looked into my hand, and a window appeared showing the items obtained, and a name appeared in it that I had never seen before - "Eleusiddata".

It seems that this is the final attack reward, and upon closer inspection, I see that it is a one-handed sword.

"Finally, it's done......"

"Well done, Kirito"

When I turned around, it turned out to be Lilan, the murderer who made the ridiculous request, arrived.

"Well done? You suddenly said you were going to stop me, so I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in your mind."

"I was also surprised that I couldn't stop him. But, it's still good."

Lilan had a reassuring look on her face.

"Thank you, Kirito. This time, you're alive."

"Thank you. If it weren't for your strength......"

It was then that Diabel and the others, who had fallen earlier, began to stand up one by one. It looks like they've regained consciousness. I asked as I approached Diabel with Lilan.

"Diabel, are you alright!?"

Diabel scratched her head as she alternately looked at me and Lilan.

"Kirito, Lilan...... The guy ...... What happened to the boss? ”

"The boss has been defeated. The battle is over"

Diabel watched my eye movements as he activated the status window. Judging by the change in his eyes, his gaze was on the "experience bar". Although the experience points of boss battles are mainly distributed to the player who attacks last, they are basically distributed to everyone involved in the battle.

"And so it was. Experience points have increased compared to before. The boss has been defeated......"

Diabel closed the window and smiled faintly.

"And, it's you or Kirito who fights until the end."

"Hmm. Lilan, to be exact. After Diabel and the others lost consciousness, Lilan reverted to her original form and fought with me. The main credit for defeating the boss is also Lilan, who drastically reduced the boss's health and gave me the opportunity to attack. This time it was entirely with Lilan's help."

"That's right...... But anyway, it's great to be able to end the fight safely"

It was then that Diabel suddenly showed some kind of perceptive expression and opened the map window. It is likely to be counting the number of surviving players. After so many attacks, I am also concerned about how many people have survived.

Diabel suddenly showed a surprised expression, lowered his head, and closed the window.

"Among the members of the Holy Dragon Alliance...... Five people died. It looks like 5 people were killed by the Colossus."

I couldn't help but be taken aback. I didn't expect so many people to be killed. Still, it's not surprising. The Colossus's arm possessed powerful attack power, and even spewed out beams. While receiving an arm attack that reduces health, it is not surprising to be consumed by a beam of light, even if you die.

No one should die. I kept thinking about fighting like this, and it turned out that people were still killed.

"This cheating guy!!"

Suddenly, there was a curse, and I, Lilan, and Diabel turned in the direction of the sound.

The wounded members of the Holy Dragon Alliance, Diabel's companions, united with a clear hostility towards me.

"You, you've been hiding such a powerful power all along!!"

"We actually killed our partner!!"

That's right, to them, in their eyes, I have always hidden enough power to fend off Leland and the boss until the death of my companions. I don't know why Leland became like that, but even if I said something like that, it would only become an excuse. I can't help but recall the moment when I was bombarded with caustic words on the first layer.

"This cheating bastard! I even got the final attack reward! ”

"Give it to me! And that dragon, throw it away for me too!! ”

"Because of you, buddies are dead!!"

Perhaps they were emotionally charged by the shock of their partner's being killed. I myself realized that I was swearing, but the loss of a partner made me feel sad, remorseful, and probably uncontrollable to vent. Maybe I just explained things conveniently, but the bad words still pierced my heart.

"You're so ugly!!"

Suddenly, there was an angry shout, and the scene fell silent. When I looked for the source of the sound, it turned out to be Diabel.

Diabel ......

Diabel turned his body to the person who was insulting me and rebuked angrily.

"We're still alive!? We fainted in that dangerous boss fight, but we're still alive!? Whose credit do you think this is!! ”

Hearing Diabel's words, those who insulted me fell silent.

"Indeed, Kirito's dragon weakens the boss's health at an astonishing speed and delivers a fatal blow. It can be said that it is cheating...... It's like you're using a plug-in. But what did Kirito do with that power? What did he take away from us? That's not right! He's here to help us! If they hadn't been able to defeat the boss, we'd probably have been killed by the Colossus."

After the boss room fell silent again, Diabel's voice continued.

"An unfortunate sacrifice has already happened. But in order to avoid an even greater sacrifice, Kirito uses the dragon to protect us! Put all this aside and just stare at what is happening as a sacrifice, demanding a final attack reward, demanding to give up the dragon ...... We are the Holy Dragon Alliance! Blaming the man who protected us, demanding an apology from him, snatching his things, this is the style of the rogue group "Legion"! Are you "legions"!? ”

Diabel's voice calmed slightly.

The top of the form

"Not true. To be honest, I'm uneasy about surviving this fight. When the guy released the beam, I felt like it was all over. However, we survived. We managed to break through the boss on floor 50. It's all because of their strength.

Instead of blaming those who have power, we should thank them for protecting us with their power and allowing us to get through the boss fight. ”

Diabel turned his face to the person who was insulting him.

"The death of my partner was the result of my lack of command and combat effectiveness. If you want to apologize, I can apologize; If you want something powerful, I can give it to you. I also look at better training plans and tactics and look for more efficient ways to level up.

I know it's painful for a partner to die. I understand that you may want to find someone to vent to. I also know that you may be jealous of those who have great power. But for now, thank you Kirito and Leland for helping us. We will hold the funerals of those five precious victims in the next town. ”

Those who had previously insulted were silent, with an apologetic expression on their faces.

And most importantly, under Diabel's words, they opened their mouths and could no longer close. Unexpectedly, they would defend me.

Just as I was thinking this, Diabel turned around, walked over to me, and whispered.

"Let's go, Kirito. Let's go activate the next town. ”

I just nodded.

Leland approached me and came with a "voice".

"He probably said that to protect you and me, albeit in a somewhat rude way. We want to give you a clear explanation, including Diabel. In addition, we would like to express our gratitude to Diabel. ”

I nodded again and walked out after Diabel.

The next level is the 51st floor.
