Chapter 72: Frenzy - Fight the Slaughterer

"What is this..."

Asuna, who dodged the sound, moved her palm from her ear to her mouth.

The calm and kind Lilan, as if attacking a predator, went berserk and wiped out the madmen with fangs, claws, and sighs. The "Laughing Coffin", once a monster more terrifying than Ayn Grant's, was helplessly chopped, torn, shredded, and burned to death by a dragon with overwhelming power. There were about 140 people when the laughing coffins attacked together, but now they have been reduced to about 70 people. The rampaging lonely dragon Lilan.

The people around him, those who had been expelled from the army, except for the Tooth King and a few other crew members, had already been killed by the thunderbolt. However, at the moment when Lilan descended from the sky and began to slaughter the "laughing coffin" on the ground, the Tooth King prepared his weapon and pointed the blade at the dragon, and Diabel raised his voice.

"What are you going to do, King of Teeth! \"

The Tooth King smiled, with an expression of fear and joy on his face.

"Isn't it decided, I'm going to make him our power, even the 'smiling coffin' has become like this, if we have that kind of power, we are the strongest guild of Ayn Grant. Become!! \"

Seeing that the Tooth King and his party were fascinated by seeing nothing but Lilan's power, Diabel felt a chill. He couldn't control Lilan's power at all, and Lilan wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Moreover, even Kirito can't let Lilan hear what he says now. If you do such a replay, you can immediately guess what will happen.

\"Stop the Tooth King! If you had just approached that guy—\"

Near the Tooth King, Vashak Casals, who was holding a vicious kitchen knife, raised his mouth.

"Yes, if you get his power, you can kill as many as you want, and kill anyone who stands in your way! You can't afford not to have that kind of power! ”

Enraged, Vashak Casals screamed and led the survivors to the dragon that was killing his allies.

"It's your turn! The goal is not to capture the group, but to this dragon! ”

When Vashak Casals' shouts rang out in the room, the cleaning team noticed that the door to the room had been violently opened. Inside was the figure of nearly fifty members of the "Laughing Coffin", mixed with green and orange collected from all over Ayngrant, which was presumably prepared by Vashak Casals just in case. No way, when the members of the assault group were afraid that they were going to kill so many of us, the "laughing coffin" and the others began to confront the rampaging dragon, ignoring the assault group at all.

"What are they thinking!?"

As soon as she heard Klein's voice, as if she couldn't believe the "laughing coffin" move, Asuna felt that she understood the reason why the "laughing coffin" did this, and couldn't help but shudder. The people of the Smiling Coffin—including Vashak Casals—want Lilan's power, but only see it. So far, they have almost never died in battle, single-handedly killing players, creating a true undefeated saga, but that dragon has easily defeated it and has already killed more than fifty of its comrades. Attracted by its immense power, I couldn't help but want it.

That's right, with such a great power, he can become the strongest Ayngrant, with no enemies and no fear of the Knights of the Blood Oath and the Holy Dragon Alliance. At that time, he was still known as the Demon of Strategy, and one day he saw the existence of a dragon, and he thought of using the power of the dragon to build the Knights of Blood Oath into the strongest guild. , I only look at power and nothing else.

No, I originally wanted the power of the dragon, I just wanted to use it as a hole card to end this world as soon as possible, but "Laughing Coffin" is different. The reason why I want to gain that power is to control the dragons, to destroy all beings who want to end this world, and to rule Ayn Grant as the one who rules this world. And kill everything

They are in a trance, dreaming of a murderous world like never before.

That's why he boldly faced the dragon that shouldn't be approached. - Didn't realize it was suicidal at all.

"No, no! Don't go near Lilan!! ”

Before Asuna's screams reached them, the people of the "Laughing Coffin" had reached the rampaging drake. Surround them like a boss fight and start attacking immediately. In order to gain the power of this powerful monster, weaken it.

On the other side, the dragon demon's eyes glowed red, as if it were its hateful predator, and its face and massive body moved to produce afterglow, and with its burning mouth, it tore at the corpses of approaching madmen, and the bright red burned them with its blazing fangs, and slashed them with the horns, thorns, and tails of the greatsword, separating the upper and lower bodies of the madmen. Not only that, but the dragon also had several madmen in its mouth, and fired fire bombs at the surrounding madmen, which began to explode, engulfing them in flames.

Seeing the sight and power of the dragon that unilaterally killed and unilaterally went into a desperate situation, even the originally energetic madman woke up from his ecstasy and began to tremble, as if he had regained his senses. Among them were those who were hiding in the Holy Dragon Alliance, as well as the Knights of the Blood Oath who attacked Heathcliff, the ugly Knight Kuradir.

"Hi, hi!!"

"No, please stop, please stop!!"

\"Ahh——!!h \"

The dragon was undoubtedly angry at these madmen. No matter how many madmen beg for mercy and beg for mercy, I will not forgive them. The scorching fangs and heat rays, the attacks of the sword claws all over the body fell mercilessly on the madman, and the people who were caught were ruthlessly torn apart and disappeared.

"Wow..."

If you can forgive me, go to Hell and ask the demons - a scorching light that burns the earth, humanity, and the atmosphere.

"Higi Ahhh

"Let them perish - the merciless sword sweeps away the slaughterers."

The boy and his fellow dragons could only watch as the dragon went berserk at the boy on the ship. The young Kirito, who was stunned by his companions who were surrounded by silence, shouted at the raging Long Lilan.

"Run again, stop!

I didn't hear a "understood" reply. Lilan no longer answered, just followed her instincts and single-mindedly slaughtered the madman, the unforgivable "laughing coffin". I can't think of any way to stop the sound of the Ruiran beast, its attacks, and the flames that burn the atmosphere. Of course, the same goes for the other capture groups and the "laughing coffins".

\"Kirito Kirito──────────!!! \"

Shino screams at her friend's irrational and violent dragon and her lover trapped on the dragon's back, and her throat is about to be cracked. The entire room no longer reverberates, and chaotic sounds such as explosions, flesh tearing, and beast chirps engulfed the room. - Neither the dragon nor its relatives on its back can reach it.

Watching this scene sideways, Asuna blushed and shouted to Heathcliff, the boss who led the coalition forces. Heathcliff was stunned at the sight of the rampaging dragon.

"Commander, it's dangerous to stay here! It's like "Laughing Coffin", we'll get caught up in that dragon's attack and kill them all! We should get away as soon as possible! ”

As Asuna's voice came again, Heathcliff was taken aback and gave instructions to the non-"laughing coffin" attack group gathered around him.

\"Everyone, everyone retreat! Fly to the Crystallized City of Transfer!! \"

Heathcliff said, taking the teleportation crystal from his pocket, but the knight next to him immediately shook his head.

"No, Commander! It seems that this area has somehow become a crystal void area! Neither the Teleportation Crystal nor the Corridor Crystal can be used! ”

"What!? You're saying that the dragon is creating a crystal void zone!? ”

Heathcliff gritted his face, gritted his teeth, turned his body to the open door of the "laughing coffin", and let out a shout from his chest.

"Everyone, run to the entrance! Watch out for the dragon's attack and run!! You can already give up on the Laughing Coffin! ”

Heathcliff's command instantly reached the entire attack group, and the frightened people ran towards the entrance, but at that moment, Shino shouted at Heathcliff.

\"Kirito, Kirito!? \"

"If you go within reach of him now, you're definitely going to be the target of that dragon.

Ariki grabbed Shino's hand, who was stunned.

"Shina, let's run! We can't stop Reru and Kirito anymore! \"

\"No, no, no, Kirito!! \"

No matter how many times I shouted, my voice was drowned out by Lilan and did not reach my ears. I'm trying to save him now—Achill grabbed Shiina's left hand and shouted at Shiina, who was about to run.

"Run!!

"No, no! Let go, let go!! Kirito, Kirito, Kirito!! \"

Achill and Yuki dragged the screaming Shino to the exit of the room. When all the cleanup teams have left, the door slams shut, leaving only Laughing Coffin, Kirito and the furious Lilan in the room. It might be closer to say I'm trapped.

The trapped "Laughing Coffin" was also slaughtered by the dragon, leaving only Johnny, Zaza, the Tooth King who defected from the army, and the leader Vashak Casals. Despite having killed more than a hundred and fifty people, the dragon never calmed his anger and roared at the four.

"Uh, I didn't think I was going to be pushed to this point, it's amazing"

Johnny felt a shudder of surprise, fear, and amusement at the sight of the dragon that had destroyed the "smiling coffin" in the blink of an eye, and he raised his dagger.

"However, with such a great power, a rare item of Ayn Grant 1, I can't afford to miss it. \"

Similarly, Zaza, trembling with excitement, prepares Estok, while the Tooth King makes the sword glow.

"Give me that power, Beatta——!! \"

The next moment, the Tooth King kicked the ground, leaped forward, and used his sword skills against the dragon. Kirito, who was standing on the back of the dragon and looking at the Tooth King, found that the posture of the Tooth King was the same as that of the boss in the first floor.

At that time, the Tooth King's attacks were also effective against the boss, but now, there are things with equal or even greater power that attack Liran's body. With the sonorous voice of the Tooth King, the blade in his hand stabbed into Liran's body.

- In the next moment, the Tooth King's sword made a "snap" sound, and the blade flew into the air, and the Tooth King wielding the sword was taken aback.

\"Ah, is Wei's sword broken? \"

Not knowing what was happening, as soon as the Tooth King stopped moving, the wolf dragon bit its upper body and crushed it with its bright red fangs. Dripping with blood-red light, the lower half of the greedy army exile fell to the ground, blasting into polygonal pieces. Kirito, who was standing behind him, understood that the Tooth King had died without knowing what had happened to him.

The people who saw it up close didn't care if the Tooth King was alive or dead, but they were shocked to find that the attacker's weapon had been destroyed and they couldn't move. Not only did this monster kill unilaterally, but even the blow had enough power to counteract it.

"Maybe this is our powerless opponent?"

Johnny was still immersed in the thrill of killing his opponent, trembling all over, as if he had regained his senses and raised his weapon. Johnny shuddered the moment he was stared at by the monster whose eyes turned red orbs and whose mouth kept spewing flames, but the next moment, the dragon's head swung from side to side and hit Johnny. A while.

At that moment, Johnny's hands, which had been stretched out in front of him, fell from his arms, and his fingers and palms split apart and exploded into polygonal pieces. To date, the poison dagger that has sucked the blood and lives of dozens of players has been reduced to pieces and vanished.

"Ahh

Johnny was stunned, his attack was destroyed in an instant, and the next moment, Johnny's body was pierced by the horns of his forehead. Zaza was shocked that his partner had died at a time that was unsightly to the naked eye and retreated.

"Joe, huh"

The moment the dragon pulls Johnny's body out of the corner, Johnny instantly disappears into polygonal shards. Zaza stared at his partner's death, but then he gritted his teeth, and the glowing Estok jumped up, aiming his sword at the dragon's face.

One of the bullets hit the dragon's flesh, and the next moment, Estok, rejoicing that the damage had passed, disappeared from Zaza's hands. - Like the Tooth King, the weapon can no longer withstand the body of a dragon with steely defense.

“——!”

As Zaza looked surprised under the mask, the dragon jerked around and turned its tail towards Zaza, the large sword-like tail piercing Zaza's face with the mask. Zaza's body froze in the air, his hands and feet shaking like a doll with broken strings, and before he could reveal his true face to the surrounding area, he exploded and disappeared.

"Is this serious?"

When all the guild members except himself were killed, Vashak Casals froze. When the dragon that had killed all the damned madmen turned his face, Vashak Casals said with a blank expression.

"I like you, Dragon. After all, you should follow me more than that black swordsman. With so much power, there is nothing to fear. You love killing, don't you? If you're with me, you can kill as much as you want, and you can always enjoy killing in this world.

Kirito didn't know if he was scared or frightened by fear. Lilan didn't like this kind of thing, and he didn't realize that he was the reason he was so angry. Even if he said something like that, Lilan couldn't have swallowed it.

"Hey, how's it going, Mr. Long? Form a duo with me and kill together, shall we? ”

As if in response to Vashak Casals' words, Lilan purred, flapped her wings, and set off a storm that flew into the sky. As it climbed up the ceiling of the large room, it began to rush towards Vashak Casals at an alarming meteorite speed, the great sword on its forehead glinting.

"An overwhelming force is approaching, and there is nothing humanity can do about it."

Vashak Casals pulled out the professional tool knife from his hand and moved his mouth.

"Hehe, hehe, I've killed a lot of people by now"

"I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm going to die

The screaming Vashak Casals' body was impaled by Lilan's glowing horns. Kirito was hugged by Lilan, who was flying around at great speed, and turned her face back, but the upper and lower bodies of Vashak Casals were neatly separated, scattering red light and falling as they fell, eventually turning into polygonal fragments. When I see

Vashak Casals, founder and leader of the "Laughing Coffin", is the most feared player of Ayn Grant. The moment of his death was much more prosaic than he had imagined. And the person who killed it was none other than Lilan, who was angry with Vashak Casals. Now that the object of his anger was gone, Lilan had come to her senses.

When Kirito whispered in his heart that it should be like this, his body was pulled and he was confused. I clung to Lilan's back, climbed onto its back, looked ahead, and saw that it was the door through which my companions had fled.

Lilan's anger has not subsided. He plans to kill all the players who break through the door and escape. The Captive Regiment, the Knights of the Blood Oath, the Holy Dragon Alliance, and the "Laughing Coffin" have nothing to do with each other. Lilan won't stop until all the players in that place have been slashed to pieces by claws, fangs, swords, and burned to the ground by the flames.

Kirito shivered and shouted into Lilan's ear.

"No, don't say it, Lilan, that's enough! That's enough! The laughing coffin is gone!! ”

No matter how much he shouted, no sound reached his ears, and Lilan let out a fierce roar and headed for the door. He intends to infuse the light into all the swords that grow on his body and continue to destroy the enemy. No matter how much I say, it's useless. I've known this since "Rebirth" started killing laughing coffins, but it's time to stop. It should also be the duty of the Beast Trainer to suppress the rampaging Messenger.

"This!!"

"In any case, if you don't stop this berserk partner, your friend will suffer." Kirito gritted his teeth, made a sound, and with the strength of his hands, climbed onto Lilan's back. Then, when he reached the relatively non-hard Liran area, he straddled steadily in the Liran area and pulled out two swords from the scabbard on his back—with great force, stabbing them into the Liran area. Just like the Tooth King and Zaza, the sword stabbed into Lilan's body without flipping, causing him a definite and intense pain.

"Stop, stop, stop!!"

He drew his sword several times, and each time he stabbed it in. Rui Lang screams and goes berserk, but Kirito clung to him so that he doesn't get thrown off.

Seeing this, Lilan's health decreased, and when he turned red, indicating danger, the error message displayed on the human dragon rule disappeared, and Lilan froze in the air after being attacked.

Just like that, Lilan stopped moving like a stone statue and began to fall. When Lilan froze, he was already close to the ceiling about 50 meters above the ground, so Kirito understood that the damage caused by the fall was enough to kill Lilan and himself.

Kirito took out the green crystal he had saved for the emergency and said to Lilan with his mouth.

"Heel"

As he spoke, Kirito closed his eyes tightly. - The next moment, the "smiling coffin" vanished, and Lilane collapsed on the floor of the empty dungeon.

\"Ah, Lord Black Swordsman, you've done a great job.

"Is that okay?" That's what the boss wants, too. ”
