"Tears!!"

Someone's voice was heard in the distance, and Anubis exploded at the same time. It was an explosion of red flames, completely different from the nature of the Anubis release. Anubis was taken aback and was blown away, distancing himself from Tia. Tia couldn't leave that place.

What the hell just happened? Why was Anubis, when there was no one, blown away by the explosion?

"Tia!"

When Tia heard the phone ring again, she turned around and was surprised. I saw multiple figures behind the building filled with a blinding red light, and in the direction I came. They are different in size. When my eyes fell on one of the very small figures, I immediately realized who it was.

It was Marie, a twin girl with the same goddess role as him. There are Kirito, Shino, and Lilan nearby. Despite the persecution I was subjected to by humans, they accepted me.

"Ah, you guys"

Why are you here? I came without saying anything. I don't want to involve him, but I want him to figure it out on his own and go home. Tia was as confused as ever.

The four of them ran towards Tia. Everyone looked relieved. It's the complete opposite of me.

"Tia, I've finally found it"

Just then, as Marie ran towards me, a dark red light flashed behind me. The next moment, the ceiling in front of Tia exploded, and large pieces of debris fell. The ceiling, which was supposed to be sturdy, turned into a pile of rubble, blocking the way of the approaching Marie.

When I turned back in confusion, I saw that Anubis was ready. Red-black electric light and smoke came out of his mouth. After exhaling a breath. Does he see multiple enemies blocking his path and wants to stop them by blocking his path?

I wonder if Anubis is still so smart even in such a form. Just as Tia was thinking, a voice rang out again.

"Tia, please reply!!"

It's Shino's voice. A loud crash can be heard coming from the ruins. The four seemed desperate to get the pieces away. Tia couldn't help but ask everyone.

"Why are you here? Why follow me? ”

"Why did you suddenly disappear? Everyone is worried, coming all the way! ”

Mary answered the question with a question. Not when you ask a question, and not when you answer a question. But Tia replied.

"Why? It's a question I have to do something about. This is a battle that I shouldn't have involved you all in. So everyone should wait. I'll be back well. ”

\"So, you're here alone!? \"

This is Kirito's problem. That's it. Don't involve anyone. If you get into trouble with others, it will only cause trouble. Troublemakers should not be included in the circle of people. In order to connect with everyone, you need to learn not to cause trouble. Solving this problem is the first step and proof.

"Yes. So, now everyone can go home. I don't want everybody to be involved. I don't want to be like Kirito back then. When you fought with the real thing, you apologized for having us involved. This question is Kirito.,That's really it for you.。 That's the real question for me. It's something I'll have to deal with on my own. ”

Hearing this, Kirito fell silent. Others also stopped talking. I'm sure Kirito doesn't want him to talk about Machiri. However, Tia could not find any other analogue other than Marchiri.

"If you let everyone get into this problem, it will cause a lot of trouble for everyone. The disaster that created Ayn Grant was caused by me, and it caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I can't trouble everybody anymore, I don't want to get everybody in trouble anymore. \"It's more trouble than that, and if I get into any trouble, we're going to lose touch, so I'll fix this myself and go back to everyone!" ”

"It's not really !!"

Even through the rubble, I could still hear the sound clearly. This is the sound of the premiere. It's the loudest sound I've ever heard.

"The connection between people is not so easy to severe. The bond between you and us is not so weak, and we will not cause you any trouble. That's why we're here. I am here! I: "I'll follow you!" ”

This is the answer to the question that Tia asked earlier. Although Tia's eyes never left Anubis, she could not speak with her ears.

"Actually, it is we who have brought you trouble, we have threatened your life with our own selfish desires, tried to take away your position, made you feel lonely, and we brought you trouble. It is always us humans who have caused you difficulties.

Me too. I didn't notice that you were suffering, just left it alone. I brought you calamity and am still tormenting you. I said I would protect you, but I didn't. I told you that it was a mistake to associate with people. ”

This is Kirito's voice. It sounds like a mixture of confessional voices. It looks like he said it from the bottom of his heart. Immediately after, a flashback appeared in Tia's mind.

They are being chased by humans in the wild. Everyone chased me with their eyes open. If you catch up with them, they will wield weapons and start hurting you. When Tia tries to fulfill her original role, she hurts her by telling her that she is "useless" and "a bunch of dastardly thugs".

In the end, he cursed and attacked Genesis, a human who had not done such a thing, and his friend Anubis. Despite all the wrong things they have done, no one has apologized or taken any action. So Tia can't trust humans, and naturally she won't think of establishing contact with such humans.

Kirito, one of them, has just apologized.

"The future consciousness you see when you touch the singularity is ultimately created by us humans who are unable to connect with people, and we will continue to torment you, and I don't want you to suffer any more. If I can alleviate your pain, I am willing to cooperate. That's why we've come this far. ”

Tia listened blankly to Kirito's voice. Soon after, Shino's voice came.

"Tia, tell me how you feel right now. What are your wishes? What do you really want to do? Just tell me. ”

When asked, Tia realized that she had never been asked such a question. My wish – what I want to do. It used to be about getting stronger. You will be able to live strongly, not lose to anyone, and not be hindered by anyone.

And – I want someone to understand me and be there for me, even if there aren't many people around me. Tia was surprised that she was expecting something like this.

"What I want to do, what I want"

"Tell me. Let's all hear it.

Tia thought as she was buoyed by the voice of the old woman in Lilan. My hope. Something I've been looking for. I'm rejecting it right now – I feel a headache and hear a voice as if to stop it.

I'm alone. Alone. I can't contact anyone. Always keep it that way. That's it. Alone. Alone\"

Tia shook her head. I'm more than usual?? Swing hard.

"My wish, hmm"

\"From now on, I will always be alone\"

Tia shouted, drowning out the "voice".

"I don't want to be alone anymore!! I want to socialize with people!! I want to be with you all forever!! I want to be with you forever!! ”

Anubis took a step back, removing the smoldering thoughts from his chest. It seems impossible to defeat this Anubis.

"I'm sure I can't solve this problem alone. So please help me!! ”

The next moment I screamed desperately, there was an explosion behind me. The rubble turns into fine dust and is blown away by the wind. When I looked back, the person I was looking for was there. They approached Tia, who was stunned. There I heard a voice.

"You've finally told me how you really feel, Tia. "Isn't it very long?

This was Lilan's tone. My headaches have lessened, and I can no longer hear my future self. Marie must have had the same headache as she smiled at me in a cold sweat.

"Okay. Tia, let's do it together. Let's fill in the possibilities of the future together! ”

"Why don't we erase the possibilities that try to erase your future!"

Shino said vigorously. The present me is about to be overshadowed by the consciousness of the future me, but I will try my best to fill it up. Tia couldn't come up with the idea, and she was surprised.

All

Tia couldn't help but whisper, feeling a hand reach out to her. It was Kirito's hand. The Black Dragon Swordsman who once fought and defeated the Book of Genesis had a warm smile on his face.

"Tia, I'm sorry I haven't been able to protect you and be there for you so far. This time we will protect you and move forward with you. \"

A hand I once refused. The hand that was hit. In response, Tia reached out and held it. Kirito immediately withdrew his hand, and a pleasant warmth flowed from his hand. I was finally able to make a normal connection with someone, and my breasts were warmer than they had ever been.

Soon, however, a loud bang reached my ears. The roar of a strange beast. It was Anubis' angry voice in his shattered body. It seems that he was angry that the man who was supposed to separate them had bothered him.

Recognizing her appearance, Kirito and Shino were surprised.

\"This guy is Anubis!? \"

"The book of Genesis is gone, does Anubis still exist?"

It seemed like a surprising thing for both of them. Anubis, who was supposed to lose the book of Genesis, appears here. This was unbelievable for Tia, but Lilan and Primel, who were supposed to witness it, remained calm. Finally, I heard Lilan's voice.

"Calm down. This is not Anubis in Genesis. They're just the same type of monsters.

"It doesn't feel like Anubis back then. He's very similar to the dragon I fought before. ”

Hearing this, Tia was stunned. Anubis's body was missing everywhere in front of him, and Yui was the only one whose tail was intact. At the top, there is a black sword.

My friend Anubis's tail was cut off and the tip of his tail was missing. Anubis has this. I mean, that Anubis. Not his friend Anubis. I'm just confused by the fact that they're the same species. Thinking of this, Tia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"In that case, the rest is simple, just defeat it, let's work together!"

With that, he set up his greatsword, and the others also set up their weapons. I didn't have anyone around all this time, but now Kirito, Shino, Lilan, and Pleimir are all there. It makes me feel infinitely comfortable, happy, and infinitely reliable.

I'm not alone anymore. Tia thought again, and saw Anubis in her eyes.

Anubis immediately launched a counterattack. In a fit of rage, he erupted in a series of red-black thunderbolts. Dodging is better than defending - everyone seems to know this too, jumping horizontally with Anubis' spitting flames. The flashbang flew far behind and exploded.

After creating a brief gap, Kirito and Shino jump into Anubis's arms, their weapons glowing. Immediately afterward, Kirito slashed at Anubis with his twin swords glowing with light blue and golden light, and Shino attacked with all his might. I don't know anything about the sword skills of the twin swords and twin guns, so I don't know what was fired, but it did some damage to Anubis. The HP bar decreases and turns yellow.

Come to think of it, Anubis is not very good at blocking enemy attacks. Defense shouldn't be very high. If you hit it with high firepower, you should be able to defeat it instantly. While I was thinking about it, Anubis suddenly prepared for a shoulder tackle and let go.

As if they could see, Kirito and Shino took a step back, trying to avoid it, but only reluctantly. The ground was hollowed out and I was hit by flying debris, but it didn't do much damage.

Kirito and Shino are their friends. They're really strong – that's what Tia thinks. Those who defeated me and Genesis have caused calamity. I've always wondered where this power comes from, and I feel like I've found the answer. They must have experienced a much worse mess than that. That's probably why it's so powerful.

No, that's not all. Maybe their strength comes from their relationships. They definitely have mutual trust and connection. Something that I and Genesis don't have. Maybe that's why these people are so powerful.

Recently I was told that I could join the circle of such a person and live like one of them. I have now decided to continue living with these people. Tia felt a terrible joy in her heart.

That's when I noticed something glistening behind Anubis. It was Lilan, but her appearance changed from a wolf dragon to a girl with long blond hair, wolf ears, and a tail.

Now that I think about it, her eldest daughter, Lilan, told me that she has werewolf and werewolf forms, and can change forms at will. In an instant, she transformed into a girl with a giant sword. Then, he came behind Anubis.

Their goal is the tail of Anubis.

"I don't want to do creation or anything like that, but it's a must, please forgive me!"

With that, Lilan kicked off the ground and flew into the air, swinging the radiant greatsword vertically. The broadsword slices Anubis's tail in half and cuts off the tip of the greatsword. The broken sword is thrown into the air, and eventually the blade is plunged into the ground.

As if Lilan's blow had worked, Anubis let out a scream of pain and staggered. He was no longer in a position where he could attack immediately. It's full of crevices.

"Tia, let's arrange it!! \"

"Okay, I'll decide now!!"

When I kicked the ground in response to Marie's call, I was just like Marie. The two ran side by side and soon closed the distance to Anubis. Anubis then regained his posture, raised his upper body, and swung his right hand down with all his might. However, neither the Tier nor the Prime Minister is likely to encounter such a thing.

That doesn't seem to be the case with Plemir, but Tia has been watching Anubis' attack from the next door. What kind of attacks can Anubis launch, and what kind of attacks will create voids?

When Anubis lifts his upper body and waves his right hand downward, there is always a gap to the left from Anubis's point of view, and there is always a gap to the right from their point of view. Therefore, when fighting the player, the strategy is to avoid Anubis's attacks and intercept those who are dodging to the right.

However, this Anubis was the only one here, and no one followed him. As a result, Anubis's left flank was empty. When Tia goes to the right, Marie also goes to the right.

Anubis swung his right hand down and smashed into the void, shattering it. Because of the force, my hand was stuck on the ground and I couldn't pull it out. Tia took firm aim at the place where the action had completely stopped, filling the two-handed sword with light.

Armed with a two-handed sword filled with purple light, Tia slashed at Anubis from all directions. I'm more than usual?? Hard, chop and chop with all your strength. Genesis, who hates creating huge gaps, has never used this sword technique that can be called a two-handed sword secret technique.

Then, Marie unleashed a fierce attack with a thin sword wrapped in dazzling light. The series of moves was surprisingly fast, and soon he was in the final position.

6 combo two-handed sword technique secret technique 'Calamity', 5 consecutive short sword skill secret technique 'Flash Penetration'.

Anubis, who accepted the two secret techniques unleashed, screamed and ran out of his health. As soon as he stiffened, Anubis's flawed body turned into a pale blue light and shadow, and then exploded into a large number of glass shards.

Because it looks like an immortal and can move despite its flaws, I was worried that even if I killed it, I wouldn't necessarily die, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Tia breathed a sigh of relief and put the greatsword back on her back. It wasn't long before my friends flocked to it.

"Everybody and I"

"You did it, Tia. It was a good fight. ”

This sentence was said by Kirito. He was smiling. His smile to his friends was directed at Tia. Tia couldn't help but smile back.

"Thanks to Kirito and his friends, I was able to pave the way. I don't think I can do it alone. \"

"Yes, even if you can't do anything on your own like now, as long as you connect with other people, you can overcome difficulties and get support when you are about to collapse."

Shino laughed as well. I found her words very convincing. I heard Alice say that this Shino also refuses to associate with people like her, and is in a situation where she can't trust others. That's probably why he's so persuasive, and the look on his face makes it seem like he understands me.

"Connecting with people is important"

"That's right. The connection with people is important and very warm. That's what Tia has achieved. ”

Marie, who got it earlier than me, had a calm expression on her face. Maybe my expression is the same as hers. Or maybe she's a mirror, looking at your own face. Tia thinks so because she and Marie are twin sisters.

"I finally feel like I'm able to connect with people and realize my true potential."

"That's right, that's why I'm going to prove it."

As she spoke, her sister Lilan handed something to Tia. Tia was slightly surprised when she saw this scene. What Rilan was holding in her hand was a giant sword. Its appearance is unusual, with a dark black blade that glows like gold letters. This sword is very similar to the tip of the Anubis tail of Genesis.

"Lilan, that's it."

"This is Anubis's tail. In my case, I had to send it for disposal, but it looks like Anubis' tail can be used directly as long as it is cut off. ”

"Use it against me."

Lilan glanced at Tia's back. When I looked at it as if it were inviting me, I noticed that the blade of its long sword was in tatters. If you slash an enemy a little more, it looks like it will be broken.

"Anyway, you can't fight with that greatsword anymore, you need to change hands, it's powerful enough."

However, Lilan's expression was like biting a bitter worm.

It's Genesis' "Devil", though, like your friend's tail. I can understand why you're reluctant to use it. Let's use the greatsword, shall we? \"

Tia looked at the greatsword in Lilan's hand.

After the disappearance of Genesis, Anubis did not know where he had gone or if he had died. Give my heart to the wolf dragon—I feel like the heart is in this black sword. This greatsword comes from a completely different hand, but if you hold it, Anubis will surely fight alongside you. Tia couldn't help but shake her head.

"I want to use this sword, even if it comes from a different place, I believe that Anubis's heart is in this sword"

Hearing this, everyone seemed a little surprised. I'm probably saying something weird. I must have said something that was not understood. However, Tia had no intention of retracting - as if having foreseen this, Lilan held out the hilt of her greatsword towards her, as if to change her mind.

"I think so. Your friends will be happy if you use it. Please feel free to use it. ”

Tia nodded, took the greatsword from her sister's hand, and put the original thing in the locker. The black sword feels heavy, but it feels good to hold in your hand. It felt as if this sword had been waiting for me. With this, I can fight better and become stronger.

I can't help but feel a warm feeling that I can become stronger because of these people who accept me. Immediately after, Kirito stopped me.

"I sent a group message to everyone, do you want to send it first?"

Tia turned to the open front. There is a singularity in front of us. It's where I get in touch with my future self and where I have to shut down. The future me kept repeating: "I'm lonely." "I'm trying to completely erase my consciousness.

However, I'm not alone anymore. I was able to meet friends and people that I could really open up to. I'll prove it as soon as I can. The consciousness of the future, which is trying to erase, is filled with the consciousness of the present.

"I want to do it. What lies ahead is where my future consciousness lies. And I feel like I'm running out of time. ”

"I do feel like Tia's stream of consciousness is getting stronger. It may not just be because she's approaching the singularity. At this point, Marie's face became solemn, and she realized her future. She also seems to be heading towards where the culprit came from. But it's not for himself – at least that's what he thinks.

"Maybe we are entering the final stages of filling the singularity. And we don't know when the management will start fixing the singularity. ”

"That means we're running out of time, so let's get there as soon as possible."

After nodding to Lilan and Shiina, everyone in the room turned in the same direction. I don't know if there's any singularity in the depths of this building.

"Let's go, please lend me strength!"

The friends nodded deeply at Tia's request, which amounted to a manifesto. No matter what lies ahead, if we work together, we will be able to overcome it. Once again, Tia realizes that even such thoughts are human connections. Meet Kirito and the others of Thiel and travel to the singularity that is said to be located in the deepest part of the alien world of Elion Ward. Something that should have been completely hidden, invisible to the player, and untouchable, has now surfaced. I believe that even people who are not familiar with the game and are not familiar with It can understand how abnormal and dangerous this situation is.

In fact, the singularity is causing all sorts of bugs in Elion ward's alien world. Events are happening that shouldn't have existed in the original game world, such as missing terrain, monsters becoming oddly shaped, monsters that are not suitable for the game, etc.

For now, it only affects a portion of Elonward's Otherworld and the nearby North Trough Ice Zone, but this effect has the risk of eventually escaping Ayngrunte and spreading to Angelander, and I can't erase it.

If Angeland starts to have the effects of the singularity, the NPCs that are living beings will definitely become abnormal and the game will not function properly. Before that, the singularity must be destroyed.

It is enough to leave the destruction of this singularity to management. However, the Prime Minister and Tier are associated with this singularity and are heavily affected. If management deems it related to the singularity, then the Prime and Tier will be removed. When that happens, it's all over. Either way, we're going to destroy the anomalies with our own hands—Kirito thought as he moved on. With like-minded friends.

However, there are only five members: Shina, Lilan, Pleimir, and Tia. The companions did gather in Aryon Ward's other world, but they were scattered in exploration. It will probably take a long time for people to gather around us.

She could have waited, but Tia disagreed. Tia is determined to erase the possibility of the future with her present self, and she tells them that she will continue even if it is a minority. What Tia wants to do, a wish. Kirito couldn't let anything stand in the way of his desire to grasp the possibilities of the future, and he decided to move on.

I'm not worried. Even if there is a strong enemy waiting ahead, everyone will surely rush towards them. Because it's always been that way. It would be great if we could work together to fight the great enemy. It seems that Kirito's thoughts have been conveyed to everyone in the room, and everyone is moving forward with strength.

After passing through the building that was originally a fortress, you will come to a fairly large space. In front is a huge stone dragon head. When I checked the map name, it said "Ouroboros Gate". I'm curious about what kind of stage background exists, but there is a problem with the data of Eleon Ward's other world, and I can't view it properly. If the singularity disappears, I'm sure we'll see it. So let's keep it.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw a passage that stretched into the dragon's mouth. There's a singularity in front of us - Tia told me with a serious face. I once touched the singularity outside of this point and became the person I am now. So that's all to blame. Tia told everyone.

Indeed, from the depths of the dragon's mouth, an extraordinary breath and breath can be felt. Tia was not lying. There must be a singularity deep inside.

Kirito they already have the ability to fight any boss, and there are no problems. After listening to Kirito's words, everyone nodded and began to walk. This is a recreation of the time of Ayn Grant when he went to the Red Palace on the 100th floor.

We're going to take out Ayn Grant again. No matter what kind of enemy he encounters, he will defeat it - Kirito once again remembers his feelings and leads everyone to the depths of the dragon's mouth.

The place I arrived at was an unfamiliar space. A dark blue darkness spreads, the center of which is illuminated by a pale blue and white glow. There is a stone floor with pale blue light patterns running on it, but in addition to the light patterns, geometric patterns are painted on it. It looks like an altar used for ceremonies, opening the door to another world.

In any case, in Ellian Ward's Otherworld, Ayn Grant, and Angrande, this is a strange place that can only be counted.

"That's"

Kirito turned his attention to the center of the altar, which was shaped like an amphitheater. In the center of the dark space, a vicious ball of light was suspended, emitting a purple-white light. It also feels like a big egg. This is an egg that should not exist, and there is a good chance that terrible monsters will be born there. Tia said, acknowledging its existence.

"That's where my potential comes in. That's the place."

"So that means it's a singularity. It tries to erase this layer. ”

Tia nodded after listening to Shino's words, and suddenly fell to her knees in pain. Mary fell to her knees in the same way.

\"Tia!? \"

"Marie!?"

Together with Lilan and Shiina, we called out to them and approached them. Both Marie and Tia had their heads bowed in their hands, and both had pained expressions on their faces. It seems that he has a terrible headache.

''People can't be trusted. I'm still alone. I will always be alone\"

Suddenly I heard a voice. The voice echoing in my head wasn't Lilan's. Her tone matched Tia's tone well.

Tia said she would hear a "voice" when future consciousness flowed into her. It seems that before they knew it, the channel had expanded to include them. Lilan seemed surprised by this, and she glared at the orb.

"This is Tia's [voice]!?"

''I can't find an answer. So be it, nothing will change

The "voice" repeats the same thing over and over again. Nothing will change for Tia, and from now on she will never be able to contact people - she declares this and will not stop. This is consistent with Tia's consciousness just now.

However, now it is Tia and not Kirito who proves that this is not the case. She regained her position and stood up, squeezing her headache and voice.

"Nothing has changed. Things have changed. I was able to connect with people. I have friends. I care about my friends and I have a family. I'm not alone anymore! ”

"That's right, Tia isn't alone anymore, we won't let her be alone!"

Marie also stands up against Singularity Light. Yui says that the singularity is a simulation of Tia's future consciousness. If that's the case, the ball of light is the level of the future, but the words that come out of its mouth are from the past, when humans couldn't be trusted.

The singularity may look like a layer from the future, but it is a layer bound to the past. No, it should be something else similar to Tia. Tia seemed to know this, and slashed forward with both arms.

"You're not me. I'm not you!! ”

Tia here is no longer the Tia she used to be. Tia is seizing the possibility of living with humans and her family and is working hard to live in the future. Even if he didn't say it, Kirito felt as if this sentence had rushed into his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

However, the sphere of light, which appears to be a futuristic layer, doesn't seem to want to admit it. As soon as Tia's declaration ended, the sphere suddenly shone brightly, and suddenly emitted a ray of light. Similar to the thermal laser beam released by Lilan, multiple strands flew out of the orb, swept down, and burned everywhere. The charred object falls to the ground, taking on a bright red section, and the ground through which the light passes is dyed red.

Realizing that one of the devastating rays was approaching, Kirito took a step to the right and avoided it. Shino dodges in the same direction, while the three sisters, Lilan, Pleimir, and Tia, dodge to the left. Immediately afterward, the illumination of the destructive light ended, and the ball of light was silent for a moment.

“… What!? ”

Kirito was stunned by what was next. Something hung down from the ball of light. That's the head. The long neck ends in a twisted head that looks like a hybrid of a human, female, and dragon.

Moreover, larger wings pop out from the top of the ball of light, and the upper body falls out with it, and the lower half of the body also falls out of the ball of light. It appears in an order similar to that of a dragon's eggs hatching from the air, and then falls to the ground with a loud noise and shakes.

He looks fantastic. Its head is a hybrid of a human female and a dragon, and the shape of its upper body is also similar to that of a human female. The lower body of the dragon is dark in color, but it looks transparent, and there is a red-black ball of light wriggling in the center of the body. A pair of wings resembling a bird of prey grows from its back.

\"This guy is the peculiar!? \"

When Shino held up the spear and still couldn't hide his surprise, Kirito found that there were three "hp bars" lined up on his dragon's head, and words were displayed on them.

"Neftis" - that's what it was written there. Nephthys, one of the goddesses who appeared in Egyptian mythology, was the god of the underworld who presided over funerals. She is also the mother of the god Anubis, which is the origin of Anubis in the book of Genesis.

The person who wants to adopt Anubis's friend Tia is Nephthys. What kind of coincidence is it named after the goddess of Anubis? Now is certainly not the time to worry about this.

"That's why Tia suffers, and if we can defeat it, everything can be solved!"

"I see, if you look like a monster, it's actually easy to do. \"

Marie holds the rapier and Shino announces with the spear. With the advent of this being, the singularity's ball of light also disappeared. Perhaps the singularity has changed its face. Therefore, Nefertis in front of him is the singularity and the enemy that must be defeated.

I don't know how to attack the Singularity if it stays the way it is, but since it has such a clear appearance, I'm grateful. All we have to do is work together, fight and win, just like we have always done. What you need to do is simple and easy.

"Let's go! We separate Tia and Plemir from the singularity!! ”

Kirito shouted as he drew his twin swords.

The command immediately reached everyone's ears, and everyone scattered and stood around. At the moment, there are only five of us here, including me, and we are weak in terms of military strength. Moreover, Lilan is not in the form of a wolf dragon, but a werewolf form. It seems that the rules of boss battles apply, restricting them from using great power.

In the upper left of your field of vision, at the bottom of a row of HP bars, there is an empty bar. In order to restore Lilan's status, an attack bar is required and filled, and the Beast Tamers in this world who have powerful spells are now restricted.

The battle with Genesis, and the battle with Marchiri, because it is not an officially prepared boss battle, can be fought without this restriction, but the battle with Nephthys, without an officially prepared battle, looks like it will be a boss fight.

This is the effect of the singularity, there is a bug in the game, the rules set by the management should be broken, but the boss fight part remains intact and works properly. What a way to create bugs that are only good for the other party—Kirito couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"My future has been decided. Accept. Embracing the Future"

Just as Nephthys roared, a 'voice' rang out. It's a whisper of a singularity pretending to be a futuristic layer. Before, only Tia and Marie could hear it, but now everyone could hear it. This means that everyone can finally refute it.

"You're not Tia. Tia is not a girl who can't reach her potential! ”

Kirito clenched his swords and ran towards Nephthys. Nefertis spun around and tried to chop him down with his tail, but he kicked the ground and jumped to avoid it easily.

Although it is a singularity, it does not have the intelligence of Tia, Plemir, or even Lilan. Even though it has a strange appearance and overwhelming existence, it is only a boss monster after all. If so, it's not an opponent you can't beat.

"Da Da Da!!"

Gain momentum and descend to close the distance to Nephthys' face. Along the way, he let the sword light stop and stab with all his might. The sword technique "Double Circle", which has been used since SAo, broke out, and the golden sword body pierced Nephthys.

The response is yes, but slowly. The proof of this is that Nephthys' health has not decreased much. Obviously, Nephthys' physical strength is quite strong. After all, it may not be a simple process.

\"Kirito, switch! \"

"Leave it to us!"

Kirito's stiffness eased when Shino and Lilan rushed in from behind. When I took a step back, I rubbed shoulders with both of them. The two of them were ready to unleash their sword skills, and as soon as they approached Nephthys, they immediately unleashed their sword skills.

Lilan uses one of her two-handed sword skills, the "Avalanche", while Shino hits Nephthys's face with the "Deadly Thrust", and is pierced by the Spear of Light. Despite this, Nephthys did not flinch and continued to walk, opening his mouth and exhaling as if in return.

An energy projectile that shone with a black glitter, which can be called a dark thunderbolt. Since Anubis is a monster that emits red-black electricity, it seems that his mother, Nephthys, also has the ability to use the same energy. Or did Tia, who had watched Anubis fight for a long time, extract information about Anubis from her own consciousness and memories and adapt herself? In any case, Nephthys seems to be able to use the same powers as Anubis.

The black flashbang exploded not far from Nephthys' face, causing an explosion. Maybe they just thought it would fly farther, but neither Lilan nor Shino were able to dodge it and were hit by a lightning blast.

"Gah!"

"Yikes!"

The two of them fell backwards and fell to the ground. HP has decreased, and it is on the verge of turning yellow. Marie immediately rushed over and used her recovery skill 'Healing Circle' to create a green aura that healed the wounds of the two people in the circle. Coupled with Plemir's own superb skills, both of them recovered their health.

However, even Lilan and Shino have continued to improve and their levels have increased, and a single blow can reduce their health by so much. Nefertis' attack power must be quite impressive. No, as the boss here, his position is probably already very unbalanced.

Due to the influence of the singularity, there are obvious problems with all sorts of things here. It's no surprise that bosses who shouldn't have been adapted have been adapted. Everything in the world is your enemy. This is Lilan of the ancient Creation War. Everything in the world is on the side of the singularity, so it may have plenty of leeway.

Although I didn't see that on Nephthys's face, I could imagine an arrogant expression that I felt anger welling up in my heart.

"I've gained potential, I can't lose to someone like you!!"

Just then, Tia ran out and jumped into Nephthys' body. Nefertis threw a huge right hand attack, but Tia lunged to her left to dodge. When Nephthys' right hand stabbed into the ground and stopped moving, he used a sword technique.

"Ahhhh

With a roar, Tia struck out with her greatsword. The horizontal slash, the downward slash in the upper right, the continuous downward slash in the upper left, and the slam of the same momentum, slammed into Nephthys's chest, causing him to scream.

It looks like a sword skill, but there is no light on the big sword. Even if it's a sword skill, it's a move I've never seen before. Tia stepped back to Kirito, who was thinking about what had just happened - whether it was a coincidence or not. Kirito immediately shouted at Tia.

"Tia, what's your attack now?"

"A reproduction of the sword skills that Genesis wanted to create. If I'm not mistaken, the name might be 'Genocidal Messiah'. ”

Genesis has gained extraordinary speed and attack power through digital potions, but does he still want to create an original sword technique? If that's the case, things are really out of control. Hearing the truth of Tia's words, Kirito couldn't help but shudder.

It's not a fear, though, it's a doubt that Tia is capable of doing such a thing.

"Why would you do something like that?"

"I don't know, maybe it's Anubis that reminds me, the Sword of Anubis was used by Genesis a long time ago."

Tia said, looking at her hands. The black sword with a hieroglyphic golden pattern was exactly the same as the sword in Genesis's hand. The Sword of Creation was supposed to disappear with him, but it remained in the world and is now held by Tia. Despite his disbelief, Kirito thought the same thing.

"Maybe Anubis is close to you after all."

Tia shook her head. Kirito was taken aback by this unexpected move.

"It's not just Anubis. And you, Shino, Lilan, and the Prime Minister with me. So I'm not alone. Isn't it? \"

Hearing Tia's words, Kirito also responded with a smile. Tia, who once couldn't trust others, is no longer here. This is Tia, who has developed a clear connection with people and mastered the possibility of walking together. If it is a singularity that tries to erode this layer, there is no choice but to defeat it. No matter how powerful it is.

\"That's right. I'm going to beat him anyway, Tia! \"

Tia nodded, ready for her greatsword again. The next moment, Nephtis turned her gaze to Tia. It seems that Tia has conceived a hostile hatred. Instantly, Nefertis kicked the ground with his huge body and launched a charge. Kirito immediately dodged and stayed out of range, but Tia couldn't.

Kirito's AGI is relatively high, so he can move easily, but this is not the case with Till, whose attributes are mainly defense and attack. I'm not good at acting rashly. Therefore, even if attacks should be avoided, there is no choice but to prevent them.

"Tia!"

Just as he was about to jump in front of Tia

With four shouts, Nefertis's head seemed to be pulled up, and his body was pushed back. It was as if something big was blocking his sprint. With that in mind, Kirito looked ahead of Tia, between Nephthys and her.

"I'm glad I arrived in time."

"Something outrageous has come out."

In front of Tia was a blue-haired young man in knighthood, wearing armor, holding a shield and a one-handed sword, and a dark-skinned, bald man with a two-handed axe. It was Diabel and Achille, who acted as separate units.

\"Tia, are you alright!? \"

"I'm glad I arrived just in time!"

"We're here!"

As he spoke, the people who ran towards Tia were a pink-haired girl with a one-handed club and shield, a white-haired and purple-haired girl with a wide chest and a two-handed sword, and a brown-haired girl. On the shoulders is a light blue dragon, holding a dagger, three little girls with two ponytails. They are Lizbet, Streya, and Sirika.

It seems that the three girls who went out on an expedition with Diabel and Akyle will also be able to join us here. Kirito talks to Diabel and Ekir.

"You all know that."

It was Diabel who answered.

"I rely on Streya. Strea picks up Tia's heart box signal and brings her here. ”

Tia's business tells everyone that it's okay, but how can we get them to this place?- Kirito worries as he moves forward. I thought it couldn't be everyone here, but it turned out that my fears were unfounded.

At the same time, I was even more relieved. Like the current four, Asuna, Yuki, Kem, Spiegel, and Argo, who acted separately, were attached to Jupiter, while Lifa, Filia, Lilan, and Klein were attached to Yui. They must have gotten to this point by receiving the Anima Box signal from Tia and Premir, as well as Lilan and Strey.

All my friends will come together and together we will defeat the singularity. It's time to put an end to this anomaly. No, there's no need to wait for them to arrive. It's also okay to plan to complete the conquest of the singularity before their arrival.

Just when Kirito Kujiu first felt excited, he looked at Tia.

The maiden who had once lost faith in humanity was now smiling at them.

"Thank you all for coming."

"Of course not. Come on, it's the singularity. I will destroy it as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Lizzbet's answer, Tia nodded, then turned to Nephthys and her friends. Nefertis repeats the "sound" as always.

"My potential remains the same. My future is nothing but despair. Please accept it as soon as possible. Accept the future that is coming. Accept a lonely future

Immediately afterward, Sirika tried to defend herself. It seems that everyone can really hear Nephthys's voice.

"This is not true! Tia-chan is no longer alone! ”

"Tia's future is bright. I don't want to force it to be dark! ”

As Lizzbeth continued to object, Nephthys raised her right hand and threw her down. However, it was teleported far in front of Tia and the others, and did not hit. Just when I was confused by what seemed to be a deliberately missed attack, Tia was taken aback.

"Everybody defend! There's an attack down there! ”

The tank crews of Egil, Diabel, and Lizbetstrea, as Tia had ordered, took a defensive stance, and Sirika left the scene with a brisk pace. Soon, the ground to Nefertis's right glowed black, causing a massive explosion. The defensive wall formed by five tanks was exposed to the explosion, but having broken through the defenses so far, they were only slightly pushed back.

"The ground is going to explode, what's going on?"

Tia answered Egil's question. Despite the explosion, he remained calm.

"He sends energy underground and makes it explode. He also uses a similar technique. ”

"While your attack may look like you've missed, you've done a good job. Even so, he is not a strong boss capable of using energy in this way. ”

Hearing Streya's words, Kirito in the distance nodded.

Nephthys is able to transfer powerful energy to attacks, just like the wolf dragon form Lilan and the familiar Jupiter form. There are really not many boss monsters that can perform this kind of trick, and Angrand is really not many. Even if there is, it is an "evil god enemy" whose status is so low that it is not even right to enter this realm.

That Nephthys' status and abilities are probably comparable to that of the 'Evil God Strange Enemy', a non-standard enemy that roams around Angrud. It's definitely more powerful than any monster I've encountered so far.

Tia, who was standing in front of such a thing, suddenly whispered.

"But I'm sure I can beat him."

“？”

When Tia catches the attention of her friends, she laughs again. Her smile was even brighter than anything I've ever seen.

"Because everybody is with me. That's why we were able to win. ”

His friends around him were taken aback by his words, and it was hard to believe that he had ever rejected a human, but then his smile became infectious. Recognizing the presence of someone who was smiling like herself, she readjusted her greatsword.

"Everyone, please lend me your strength"

Everyone responded to this wish by saying "leave it to me" and "I'll do it!" Then he turned to Nephthys. Tia is able to connect with people. Tia couldn't possibly lose to a desperate Nephthys. With this in mind, Kirito confronted Nephthys.

"Everyone, let's defeat the Singularity together!!" The battle with Nephthys was already halfway through - Kirito thought so. It is understood that Nephthys, who obtained the boss form from the peculiarity, is quite large in size, attack range, and power. Even if you take a blow, you will be hit hard, forced to retreat, and if you launch a follow-up attack, you will be killed directly.

Still, perhaps to make up for it, Nefertis wasn't that fast. In mythology, Anubis, the black wolf dragon that Kirito and the others just fought, is the son of Kirito, who moves faster and has stronger attack power. Compared to Anubis, it is easy to dodge and defend.

For Kirito, who had encountered faster monsters before, Nefertis could be said to be a monster not to be feared. However, Kirito still didn't let his guard down and went on with his business, as did the others. All of them were calm and calm, did not let their guard down, and steadily approached the battle. This is something that has been given to him by his experiences and memories during the battle of Ian Grant.

Kirito and his friends reminisce about the days before Ayn Grant's battle and are fighting against Ayn Grant's new boss.

"Accept my future. I am a human being persecuted by humans. My future will not change. Nothing has changed."

Nefertis, as always, continued to make "sounds". He continued to talk about a future where no one was around, a future in which he could only feel sad. Although it no longer exists, he stubbornly refuses to accept this fact. This is very similar to Tia's stubbornness when he fused with Genesis.

Tia retorted as if she noticed.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? My future is no longer sad. You keep repeating the same thing. ”

"I'm tired of it too, when will you understand?"

"While it can do ultra-high-speed computing, it's not as smart as we are. Bugs are broken, inferior machines. They can only do the same thing over and over again. ”

Tia, Plemir, and Lilan are complaining to Nephthys. It is the cardinal system that creates the peculiarity, but the cardinal system does not have the personality and intelligence that they have.

They are said to have been created according to the cardinal system, but they have surpassed the cardinal system, both intellectually and mentally. No wonder Liland calls the Singularity a low-level machine. Nefertis, who is actually a singularity, just repeats the same words intermittently.

"Then let's crack it!"

"I agree. It's hard to fix, but it's easy to break! ”

With that, Lizbet and Ekir meet Nephthys. Sensing the approaching of the two, Nephthys spun his body vigorously and slammed his tail to attack. As Nephthys' tail approached at high speed with centrifugal force, the two slammed on the brakes and went into a defensive stance. Nephthys' tail slammed into the wall of the two men's proud defenses, and stopped with a roar.

Nefertis was nothing more than a simple machine, and she stopped moving. Now here's your chance. Kirito ran towards Egil. It was contemporaneous with the poem. The two ran side by side, Kirito lightly stepped on Achill's back, Shino jumped lightly on Lizbet's back, and then jumped directly onto Nephthys.

As they flew close, they simultaneously launched a series of attacks on Nephthys' tail. Horizontal slashes, vertical slashes, hems - no sword skills are used, and every weapon is slashed wildly. A gust of wind blew through Nephthys' dark tail, but it wasn't cut off.

Nefertis's tail is long and looks like it can be cut off. I thought that as long as I continued to attack with the slash attribute, I would be able to cut it off eventually, but somehow, the reaction was very slow. It's not so easy to cut it off.

Perhaps because someone was in his way, Nephthys turned around again, blocking the eyes of Kirito and Shiina, and shot a black lightning bolt from the opening. If I use a sword technique, I may not be able to dodge because of the stiffness after using it, but since it is just a weapon attack, I can easily dodge.

After avoiding Nephthys' aura, Kirito turned his attention to the lowest level lined up with "HP bars" and so on. The blue gauge is more than half full, and I'm about to reach the right end. The moment for "Acquaintance" Lilan to cast his best trump card is approaching. It looks like we need to launch more attacks for this.

"Kirito, Lilan hasn't returned to normal yet. Isn't it time for you to come? \"

Respond to Shino's call.

"It seems that it will take longer, and I want to use it quickly, but I feel that it is difficult to accumulate."

Kirito looked at Nephthys again.

Nefertis's body is huge, so you can attack him as many times as you want. However, it feels like the meter is still filling slower than any previous boss. It seems that the bigger the boss, the easier it is for the attack to hit him, and the more the gauge adjusts downward.

If that's the case, I'd love to know the specs sooner, but since all of the boss monsters in Agelan are about the same size, there's no way to measure them. This fact was not discovered until the appearance of a giant monster named Nephthys.

There are a lot of things I learned the first time I came here and my brain had a hard time keeping up. If I see more new facts than that, I feel dizzy. The person who shouted at Kirito with her upper body was none other than Lilan, who was holding a big sword and fighting in werewolf form. She was running towards Nephthys with a greatsword wielder, Streya.

"We'll stop Nephthys' actions as much as we can! You should attack as much as you can! ”

"Let me get Nephthys' attention!"

Despite the dire situation, Strea remained in his usual form. Lilan confronts Nephthys with her sister.

Nefertis glanced at Lilan and Streya, and immediately reached out his right hand and knocked them out. Nefertis swung down with his right hand, trying to crush Lilan and Streya, but they both took defensive stances.

As soon as Nephthys' palms made contact with the two of them, their greatswords swung at explosive speeds, splitting Nephthys' palms apart and knocking them back. At the same time, he also used the skill of blocking enemy attacks to block attacks that he could not have blocked.

Perhaps not expecting to be parried, Nephthys's right hand was pulled and he lost his position. Immediately, the attacker Sirika and Diabel, who was originally a tank, rushed over and fired a sword technique at Nephthys's left hand.

"Ahhhh

"See, ahhhh

With a power and roar reminiscent of the SAo era, Celica wields as if drawing infinite power, while Diabel performs a vertical slash that seems to press her whole body weight on it. Two consecutive attacks from the five-hit dagger sword skill "Infinity" and the heavy one-handed sword skill "Sonic Jump" hit Nephthys's left arm.

Although Nephthys' health has decreased, it is not going well. Nephthys is strong in his own right, but not enough attackers. While it is possible to beat it at this rate, it will take quite some time.

At this moment, the stiffness on both of them disappeared. Suddenly, a loud bang came to my ears. This is a sound effect that is used at the beginning of the broadcast. Needless to say, this is a signal that management is starting to reach out to them.

[Management will contact all players who log in to the game.] We are currently having an important problem with the basic programming of the game. In order to solve this problem, we will start emergency maintenance in 30 minutes. Please note that all players who log in to the game will be forcibly logged out prior to maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your understanding.

I remember hearing electronic voice announcements like this during SAo. The voice conveyed that the deadline had come too suddenly. Maintenance will start after 30 minutes and you will be forced to quit after 10 minutes. Lizbet looked up at the ceiling and protested at the sudden decision.

"Maintenance after thirty minutes, forced offline ten minutes early!? What was suddenly announced? ”

"It's not like that here! Why did you do such a thing all of a sudden!? \"

Celica was also a little impatient, and Pina protested, "Gollum! ”

One of the reasons why the management began to act on Yui was the emergence of the singularity and the resulting large-scale misunderstanding. I got to this point with the intention of not letting management know, or to react faster than management, but management acted faster than I expected.

", you already smell it!"

"It's a management company, which is understandable, but it's still too fast! All game makers are still not fast enough to detect and fix bugs and glitches that affect users! ”

Diabel and Egil, two adult men, are also in a hurry. No, everyone here is panicking.

Still unable to separate Tia and Marie from the Singularity. If management continues to make corrections in this state, the tier and the prime minister will be removed along with their singularity. This is effectively a death sentence. Twenty minutes later, Tia and Marie were killed by management.

Shino probably understood this fact and called out to me impatiently.

"Kirito, if you keep going, Tia and Marie will come! \"

"I know! Damn, but what can I do! ”

Although Nephthys' health has dropped to yellow, it can be said that there is still a lot left. It's hard for them to lose that much health on their own. Moreover, it is extremely unreasonable to complete this task in the next twenty minutes. It's like a so-called impossible game.

''It doesn't change anymore. Nothing has changed. I can't change anything more

At this moment, Nefertis opened its calyx, emitting a black beam of thunder and lightning. Nephthys slashed down with an ominous beam as thick as his face. Kirito was surprised to see an extremely thick wall of beams approaching from the side, and he immediately ordered a defense, and assumed a defensive posture himself.

However, the output of the beam exceeded Kirito's expectations, and everyone's defenses were broken one after another, and Kirito couldn't stop it. It was blown to the side and rolled on the ground as if it had been blown by a gale. His health has been reduced to turning yellow, just like Nephthys.

Everyone else has yellow or red health and can't move properly. At the same time, the healer, Marie, is also hit by the beam breath and falls to the ground. It seems that I don't have much room to recover my skills.

"This...!"

Kirito stood up and felt discomfort akin to a weight. Nephthys' howl sounded like a hybrid between a dragon and a human. It looks like he's already won. No, that's Nephthys' cry of victory.

Sure enough, twenty minutes later, Nephthys managed to repel all the invaders. In this way, he was forced to die at the hands of management. Take Marie and Tia with you.

In the long run, the Prime Minister and Tier will be wiped out along with that Nephthys. The meaning of our coming to this point, our memories with Marie, Tia, and everything that comes after will be destroyed. I definitely can't allow that to happen, but I can't seem to break through either.

I thought, there is no choice but here.

"Can you forgive me!"

Tia was finally able to take advantage of these possibilities. He succeeded in seizing a bright, happy future. It is simply impossible to let it end in such a short period of time. Tia is always swayed by the desires and conveniences of selfish people, and she can never die for the same reason.

Is that the end of it? Kirito used all his strength to look at Nephthys. I'll soon have enough strength to regain Lilan into her werewolf form. So I'm going to defeat Nephthys. I will do everything I can to get there in time.

I kicked hard off the ground and sprinted, and the distance between me and Nephthys narrowed all at once. Just then, Nephthys attacked with his right hand again, but I dodged it in the nick of time.

That's when I saw what seemed to be a black shadow next to me. Then, when he reached Nephthys's face and slashed the twin swords, four slashes were fired. Two of them were released by himself, but he didn't recognize the other two. Nephthys was hit by two unidentified slashes and screamed backwards, losing his position.

At this moment, Kirito finally recognized the black shadows on both sides of him.

"I'm glad I arrived just in time!"

"It's worth running as hard as I can."

On the right is a long-haired purple girl holding a sword in one hand, and on the left is a black-brown boy holding a sword. He should have acted differently.

\"Yuki, Kai Yume! \"

As soon as his name was called, Nefertis's body resounded with a slashing sound. As I took my attention off the two of them, I heard a voice.

\"We're here, Kirito! \"

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

\"I'm finally here, brother! \"

The three people who attacked with Nefertis's right hind leg were Filia, Klein, and Lifa.

"Something incredible must have happened, such a dangerous monster is waiting for you, Keyboy!"

"That's good information, but isn't this the time to say something like that?"

\"Kirito-san, we're finally here! \"

In addition, Argo, Spiegel, and Lilan can be seen on the left hind leg. They are all friends who act alone like Araki and Kem. Then, the people who were fighting Nephthys saw a huge green magic circle appear on the ground, and they quickly stood up.

"Looks like everyone is okay!"

"I managed to rush in!"

At the center of it all are Asuna and her son Jupiter, the one who taught Plemir how to act as a healer and her skills.

"Everybody's coming!"

It was Asuna who responded to Kirito's voice. When everyone has fully recovered, stop using the skill.

"Jupiter and Yui-Chan brought us here. They caught the Anima box signals of Lilan, Streya, Prime Minister Chan and tia-Chan. ”

The next person to approach Kirito was Yui, who was a non-combatant and had to be involved in the situation. Yui looked at Nephthys.

"Dad, the singularity reaction is from that monster"

"Ah, that guy came out of the singularity, and then the singularity disappeared, but can it be said that he is the singularity itself?"

"There is no doubt about it. That's the singularity. However, I don't think management could have predicted that it would take such a form. ”

"Is that why management suddenly started maintenance?"

Yui nodded. The materialization of the singularity, the transformation of monsters, and the appearance of bugs around Ellion Ward's otherworld. I don't think the management or development team can predict this. That's why we announced emergency maintenance and forced a sudden logout.

"Of course, if management fixes the singularity, neither pREmIA nor tIA can be saved. Until then, let's stop the singularity with our own hands! ”

I know what Yui said. Until a few seconds ago, this was hard to achieve. However, now that all the friends are gathered here, it is not a difficult task. If we all work together to attack Nephthys, we can stop the Singularity before emergency maintenance begins. I'm sure it will work.

Kirito's thoughts churned in his chest, and he gave the order again.

"Guys, you'll be able to stop the singularity in a moment! Lend us strength!! ”

The voices of the friends who have defeated the death game called SAo once again echo through this amphitheater-like battlefield. Everyone clenched their weapons, hoping to defeat Nephthys and separate the singularity in their hearts. Immediately afterward, Nephthys let out a roar of rage, and black flashes poured out of his mouth again. The person who reacted was Yui, the navigation spirit of ALo.

"The breath of the mowing beam is here! Ten, nine, eight until activated! ”

Nephthys' hole card is the beam breath attack he just released. If you fire it near a wall, you won't be able to dodge it because its range can go all the way to another wall, and even if you defend it, it will be pierced by its power. I can cure because the number of healers is increasing, but I can't cure everyone here at once.

"I won't let you do that!"

"My pockets are empty!"

Before Kirito could give instructions, someone began to act. There are five speed attackers: Ariki, Lifa, Filia, Sirika, and Argo. They ran to Nephthys, who had energy in his mouth, and closed the distance.

"Five, four, three!"

"Haha!"

When Yui counted to three, the five climbed under Nephthys' chin and unleashed their sword skills. The swordsmanship of the two-handed one-handed sword and the three-person dagger are different, but they are both continuous attacks, and there are more than forty consecutive attacks in total.

Nefertis's face was hit in a flurry of slashes in a matter of seconds, and his mouth exploded, black flashes pierced through it, and he fell to the ground screaming. The energy of the breath must have exploded because of the attack of the five.

Dragon monsters, including Lilan, have a weakness in that if you attack their mouth or face before unleashing a breath attack that requires a charge, the energy will explode in their mouths, dealing massive damage and knocking you down. Yes.

I thought that if it became as huge as Nephthys, its weakness would be overcome, but it wasn't. No matter how bad it was, Kirito couldn't help but be glad that part was still there, not gone.

\"Kirito-san, now! Attack now! \"

"I'm going to use my hole cards!"

When Lilan and Kaim call him, Kirito replies, "I see!" Then he ran to Nephthys. The three ran side by side, and when they approached Nephthys, who had fallen to the ground, all his companions had already surrounded him.
