The day after reconciling with Asuna, we went to the boss room on the 53rd floor. Perhaps because I was being chased by the capture team, when I walked through the 53rd floor, where there were almost no enemy monsters, to the boss room, I saw Diabel and the Holy Dragon Alliance, Asuna's Blood Knights, and other small captive guilds also gathered.

Unexpectedly, Ekir, who often fights boss battles with the Wind Forest Volcano led by Klein, is nowhere to be seen. Maybe Crane wasn't interested in the boss fight, or maybe Egil was busy running the store and didn't show up.

The Blood Knights, led by Asuna, who opened her heart, and the Holy Dragon Alliance, led by Diabel, all looked at Asuna blankly. Looking at Asuna, who gathered all her eyes like an idol, her face was slightly serious, but there was no sharp light in her eyes like last time, instead of a soft light like yesterday. On top of that, the atmosphere is also very soft.

"Thank you very much for joining us today. Please use recovery crystals and potions to restore your stamina first. ”

After explaining the strategy as usual, Asuna looked around.

"Also, if your life is in danger, please use the teleportation crystal to escape quickly, even if you run away or retreat, I will not blame you."

Hearing Asuna's words, everyone raised their voices in surprise, and Tilberu, who should have heard Asuna's words all along, interjected.

"Wait, Asuna-san. Didn't you say that no one was allowed to escape? You said it was impossible to use teleportation crystals in battle"

With an "ahh

"I'm so sorry, guys!"

Hearing Asuna's words, the eyes of all the guild members, including Tilberu, widened.

Asuna continued with her head down.

"Until now, I've put everyone at risk with unreasonable strategies. All of this is my self-righteousness, so I'm not going to develop that strategy anymore. ”

Asuna looked up and told the stunned guild members to appeal.

"It's a living species. So don't do that kind of casual death in the future, and run away when you encounter danger. The boss room is not a crystal void zone, so it doesn't matter. We'll do it. "Yes. Although it should be to catch this Ayn Grant, the most important thing is to live and come back to reality. “

Everyone was amazed by Asuna's change, it was like a natural disaster, like a demon instructor suddenly becoming gentle. I am fine.

"I'm going to challenge the boss battle in the future, but I can only say one thing like Miss Diabel of the Holy Dragon Alliance"

The entire labyrinth reverberated with Asuna's powerful voice.

"Victory, come back alive! Promise me that you will survive the next battle! Please, please! ”

Asuna bowed her head again, and the guild members fell silent. A silence enveloped the audience, but it wasn't long before a round of applause broke the silence.

A member of the Knights of the Blood Oath applauds. But soon, the surrounding Bloody Knights, including Diabel, the people of the Holy Dragon Alliance, and the people of the small guild began to applaud one after another, and the dry applause wrapped up the applause in front of the boss's room. In—everyone agrees with Asuna's idea. As for the atmosphere, the grit feeling I've always wanted to see is gone, and it's turned into a warm and powerful feeling.

Seeing this, Shino breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've got Asuna's mood."

"Ahh Everyone accepted the replacement of the deputy head of the regiment. In other words, I guess I didn't want to accept it all along. “

Hearing my words, Lilan next to her sighed.

"How's it going? I was worried that the Knights of Blood Oath would stop me, but I'm glad it didn't happen. “

"Are you worried about that?"

"No wonder. People are volatile, and it is normal to show rejection of things that change suddenly. I thought Asuna would be rejected as a sudden change, but]

Shino chuckled softly.

"Asuna, you're not the type to worry about. If you reflect on what you've done so far and say you'll find a better way from now on, most people will accept it. Especially if you're someone like Asuna, the usual atmosphere is good. “

Asuna's natural scent and affection are indeed gentle, soft, and especially warm. I don't think there are a lot of people who say they don't want to live with that atmosphere. The reaction of the Knights of Blood Oath and the guilds around them may have been natural.

"So, it's time for the boss battle, Shino, do you know the synopsis of the boss battle?"

"I can probably understand. However, after entering the boss fight, Lilan will shrink and be greatly weakened. And in order for Lilan to return to her original state in the boss fight, she must attack the boss and fill the slot. ”

"yes. When Lilan returns to normal and I ride on his back, I will call the human-dragon unity, but if the metering gauge is filled, the boss battle will not be able to achieve the human-dragon unity. “.”

I noticed this when I was fighting the giant, but when I filled the human dragon gauge and reached its maximum, the gauge gradually decreased when I became a human dragon. Considering the theory of the games I've played so far, when this slot is empty, the human-dragon unification with Lilan will be canceled.

In the last fight, I defeated it before the slot was empty, so it didn't happen, but I either weakened the boss as much as possible while being a human dragon Ichita, or I just knocked it down, but this will be the key in the boss fight.

Just thinking about this, Shino said with an unhappy expression.

"It's not that it's unlimited.

"No, I can see that the development team is also a serious player."

"In any case, the human dragon cannot be used indefinitely. That being the case, it seems that the key to clearing the boss battle is to quickly fill and release slots, even during the integration of humans and dragons, and act quickly to weaken the boss. “

That's it. In order to fill the meter, I have to attack, so I listen to the boss's behavior, read his behavior patterns, and attack in one go.

"I'm pretty good at reading the enemy's movements, so I'm sure but the problem is Shino. How far can Shino hit, or how far can he hit? “

A slight hint of anger appeared on Shiina's face.

"Don't laugh at me, you're definitely everyone's trump card."

It's true that Lilan and I can't do it in a way that other players can't do, and in the previous boss fight, although it was a quarter of the points, we weakened the boss all at once. Renlong Yitai is definitely the player's last trump card to overwhelm the boss monster.

"yes, but is it okay to run again? You are the one who holds the power of the Human Dragon No. 1, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it"

Lilan shook her head, a smile on her face.

"It should be fine. More than myself, you should put other people and Shino first. Your role in boss fights is to protect the player, minimize casualties, and safely return the player to reality. I'm glad you care about me, but please pass that energy on to others. “

While listening to the "voice", I looked at Liran's smile and felt my body warm up a little bit. Yes, I don't want anyone to die, and I don't want to see anyone die. In order to prevent this from happening, Rerune and I must maximize our strengths and protect everyone from fighting together.

"That's right, this boss battle is also invited by me, brother."

"Leave it to me"

Lilan's face turned to the boss room, but his appearance made him feel very grounded.

This is the second boss battle after adding Lilan, and it is also the first boss battle with Shino. No matter what happens, I have to be prepared.

While everyone around them drew their weapons, Asuna and Diabel opened the door to the boss's room. The huge stone door opened with a loud rumble and vibration, and the path to the master of the 53rd floor opened at the same time that Asuna drew her slender sword, and Tilberu drew her one-handed sword and shield and shouted.

"Assault of the whole army!!"

"The battle is on!!"

At the command of the two of us, we let out a "woooooooooo All the guild members gathered there, along with us and the dragon, poured into the boss room like a flood. As soon as he entered the boss room, Ruilun, who was originally a big dragon, turned into a small dragon within the range of entering.

And in front of us, almost all wrapped in silver armor, and with blue eyes, stood a giant werewolf with a total length of five meters, holding a silver glittering giant sword in his hand, blocking in front of us.

As soon as everyone was ready, three meters and a name appeared above the werewolf's head. "Wolfang_The_WereWolfload", the boss of the werewolf clan, is here on the 53rd floor.

"Werewolves, it's the same as replays."

The little wolf dragon on his shoulder cursed in a low voice.

"You're no match for me. Let's do it, Kirito! “

"Maybe it's homophobia, but if I don't attack, Lilan won't be able to get back to normal."

When I was about to say this, Shino seemed a little surprised.

"Is that a boss monster? It's not what I thought. “

"What do you think you think the boss monster is?"

"I thought it had a unique look and just looking at it would overwhelm me. I think I was wrong. ”

"Haha, if that kind of thing appeared in every boss fight, we wouldn't be able to survive now."

After smiling bitterly at Shino, the giant wolf immediately opened its mouth and let out a loud roar. The sound is close to the howl of a real wolf, but I feel a lack of strength when I hear Lilan's howl and the "silent sound" that only Lilan can use to completely block the movement of monsters, players, and other objects.

I immediately remembered what I had fought monsters so far.

"The weapon the werewolf uses is a great sword." It can be guessed that the skill used is a two-handed sword technique, but at the same time it is a bit troublesome. Two-handed sword skills can be seen through the maximum value of one-handed sword skills.

It is a rare skill that can be used, but it has the characteristics of a rare skill. Each sword skill is used to create a buff that strengthens itself, and all sword skills are ranged attacks and high firepower.

We can also use special effects, but the two-handed sword skills have special effects when activated. What kind of special effects will be produced depends on the sword skills, but most of them are greatly strengthened.

In addition, whenever we activate a special effect skill, there will almost always be stiffness, but with a two-handed sword, as long as we cast a sword skill, there will be a special effect, and stiffness is just a sword skill.
