"shooting!!"
In response to the sound, a white dragon fired fire bombs.
The huge flame bombs dyed red around them flew straight away without any confusion, and finally hit the giant monster in front of them and exploded. The shock wave after the explosion reverberated throughout the room, and the explosion swallowed up the monster.
What happened just now - a few seconds later, a black shadow jumped out from the rolled up explosive flames, and the explosive flames disappeared as if they were torn apart.
Emerging from the center was a huge creature. It is covered in black scales and its arms are integrated with its wings. The head is as distinct as an arrow. This is the monster known as a pterosaur in fantasy worlds.
The body of the black winged dragon (flying dragon) now has numerous special effects similar to red scars. There is only one "HP bar" left on the top of its head, and its color has turned red.
"Okay, just hold on a little longer and it will be solved."
As he muttered to himself, a "voice" came from his mind. The voice was very much like that of a middle-aged woman.
"Yes. But don't take it lightly, Kirito. You still don't know what it will do in the end."
Nodding to the "voice", Kirito looked forward again. In front of him was a ferocious-looking flying dragon, which stared at Kirito and the others with clear hostility and anger. It looks very exciting.
It would definitely be very difficult for Kirito to defeat it alone. However, Kirito has friends around him. They have experienced the joys and sorrows together, strong men who have faced giant monsters like this many times and won every time.
Among them, Kirito's most trusted companion, the horse, was standing on his shoulders. It has the outline of a wolf, its whole body covered in white-gold carapace and fur, and a pair of huge wings spread out on its back, reminiscent of an angel. A dragon with horns similar to the design of a holy sword sprouting from its forehead.
"Normally, Xiang is an existence that cannot be a partner and can only be fought by enemies, but now, this is Kirito's residence.
If you look closely, you will see that there is a "HP bar" just like the flying dragon in front of you. Since the recovery skill has just been used, the remaining amount is close to the maximum. At this level, don’t worry too much.
At the moment of confirmation. The confronting flying dragon let out a high-pitched roar, flapped its wings violently and soared above the room.
When the warriors and swordsmen were annoyed that the flying dragon was flying to a height beyond their reach, the flying dragon opened its jaws and a pale light emitted from its mouth.
Pterosaurs and dragons that appear in fantasy works have special abilities such as shooting fire and thunder from their mouths. The flying dragon fighting in front of me was no exception. During the battle, it will emit pale thunderous breath from its mouth many times and perform long-range attacks. It is a troublesome monster.
Now, the flying dragon has soared to a height where safety can be ensured, and it is estimated that it plans to attack here with the breath of thunder and lightning from there.
The battle with the flying dragon has lasted for a long time, and the partners are also very tired. Once hit by the Breath of Thunder, you can easily imagine what will happen.
“Riran!“
"Ah! Hold on tight!"
Calling the dragon's name, the "voice" sounded in his mind again, and the dragon quickly became alert. There was a sound like a burning flame coming from the dragon's mouth, and hot wind blew against his face.
A few seconds later, the flying dragon opened its mouth in the air and sprayed out a pale beam of light from its body. At the same time, the dragon Kirito was riding also opened its jaws and released a scorching beam of concentrated flames, meeting the flying dragon's beam.
"The two beams collided with each other, and what humans call a struggle of fighting spirit occurred. Fierce hot wind and flashes of light came, but Kirito held on tightly to his trusty dragon.
Lightning and heat, thunder and fire. Due to the attack and defense of the two attribute attacks, the entire room shook, and the storm brought by the hot wind raged. It is the opposing flying dragon that is trying to control a confrontation that is absolutely impossible for humans.
The lightning beam released by the flying dragon did not stop. Instead, its output increased as time went by, pushing back the scorching beam here. Ryuu, who was sitting on Kirito, seemed surprised by the power of the flying dragon and tried his best to increase his output, but the flying dragon was still suppressing it steadily.
This may be due to the underlying strength of the life crisis. In any case, if it continues, this side will definitely fail.
"over there......"
at that time. A quiet but firm and powerful voice reached his ears, and an explosion occurred on Feilong's face.
The flying dragon whose face was suddenly exploded let out a mournful cry, lost its balance, and stopped breathing. A loud bang hit the ground, causing strong vibrations.
After watching the flying dragon leave, he turned around and found that among the friends who were preparing swords and spears, there was only one girl holding a bow, with the same posture as after releasing an arrow. Her attack aided the troubled Lilan, knocking the flying dragon to the ground.
After the girl untied herself, she shouted to Kirito.
"Kirito, Lilan! Charge forward!!"
"Shino, great job!"
Accepting the girl's words, Kirito thanked her and turned to face forward.
The flying dragon fell from a high altitude and lay on the ground unable to move. Its "HP bar" only has a very small amount left. If everyone attacks together, they can kill it.
This is an extremely rare opportunity.
"Lilan, let's go!!"
After hearing her master's voice, Lilan stepped on the ground and rushed towards the flying dragon. At the same time, the companions around him also ran towards the flying dragon that fell to the ground. The fastest among them was of course Lilan, who reached the flying dragon in less than two seconds.
However, at that moment, the flying dragon suddenly stood up, standing up on only its hind legs, and slammed at them with its front paws that were integrated with its wings. Of course the target was Lilan, and Kirito riding on her also became a target.
But this time it seemed that she was expected. Lilan also stood up on her hind legs and caught the flying dragon's attack with her strong front paws. The heavy sounds and vibrations caused by the collision of huge creatures that were several times their own height and mass passed through Lilan's body and reached her abdomen.
Despite being so violently shaken, she almost let go, but she grabbed on hard again. In front of her was a terrifying-looking flying dragon. However, due to being grabbed by Lilan's hands, the flying dragon could not move, and its feet were completely free.
Immediately someone understood this and there were loud shouts all around.
"The action has stopped! Now is your chance!!"
"It's right there! Let's attack together and give it a fatal blow!!"
After the surrounding warriors and swordsmen heard the shouts of the chestnut-haired girl and the blue-haired knight, they flew together and rushed towards the gap at the feet of the flying dragon. Soon, the weapons in their hands shone with light, and they performed various stunts one after another, cutting the flying dragon's feet full of holes.
The flying dragon immediately lost its balance when the rainbow-colored light exploded under its feet, was suppressed by Lilan, and fell to its knees. The remaining amount of the "HP bar" will disappear completely in just a few attacks.
The moment he witnessed this scene, a voice came from his mind.
"Kirito, give it the final blow!!"
Hearing Lilan's voice, Kirito stood up, drew out the one-handed sword from behind, prepared it, then kicked Lilan's neck and jumped up. His target was the head of the flying dragon that was suppressed by Lilan.
As he flew in the air, the distance between him and the flying dragon shortened, and his golden eyes met the flying dragon's gaze. Between that terrifying look and the aim between his brows, Kirito readied his sword. The next moment, the sword was wrapped in golden light.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
At the same time as he made contact with the flying dragon's head, he roared from the depths of his heart, burst out with all his strength, and thrust out a sword. The black blade protruded at a speed as fast as the speed of sound, piercing deeply into the flying dragon's brow, and golden light burst out.
The single-shot heavy attack one-handed sword skill "Decapitating Strike".
When the explosion was completely over, the flying dragon let out a shrill scream, but paused in the middle and froze motionless. Just in time, the companions also stopped attacking, and the room was filled with silence.
Soon, Kirito put away his sword and returned to Lilan. The flying dragon's body was surrounded by white shimmer, forming a silhouette, and then exploded. Countless polygonal fragments of varying sizes disappeared.
Silence returned to the battlefield, and no one made a sound. At this time, a string of words was displayed where the flying dragon was: "Congratulations!!", indicating that the leader was defeated, accompanied by loud sound effects.
When the surrounding players saw this effect, they cheered as if celebrating a victory. Kirito sat on Lilan's neck again, as if he were straddling a horse. Perhaps due to the excessive exertion of force that defeated the leader, or the relief of successfully defeating the leader, he sighed.
The surrounding warriors made noises of joy together, but Kirito couldn't help but feel that he had no remaining energy.
Just when he was tired, a voice came from below. Get close to Lilan's feet with your friends who won the victory together.
Kirito confirmed and instructed Lilan to lie down. Lilan complied and stuck to the ground, and then he jumped down lightly. Soon, the friends arrived at Lilan's feet and greeted Kirito.
One of the young men with green hair and wearing knight equipment walked up to Kirito and talked to him.
"Kirito, thank you for your hard work. This battle was still outstanding."
"Diabel, you have worked hard too. This battle was very exciting. It seems that no players died, which is great."
"I'm glad to hear you say that, but I still think that the strength of you and Lilan is the key to our victory. Your combination can turn the tide of the battle."
The words of Diabell, the blue-haired knight, made Kirito feel happy in his heart.
However, being able to win the battle against the boss monster without any victims was due to the guidance and tactics of Diabel who had been fighting since the first level. Moreover, to fully unleash Lilan's power, the support of surrounding players is essential. It wasn't just Kirito and Lilan's power that brought victory.
Just when they were about to convey this idea to Diabell, a girl who shouted to Liran who was lying on the ground walked up to Kirito.
Her long chestnut hair and amber eyes radiate beautiful light. She wears a battle uniform based on white and red, and wears a noble sword at her waist. She led the players participating in this boss battle, with a gentle smile on her face.
Kirito smiled similarly and responded.
"That's right, Asuna, you have also shown your talents. Your instructions and tactics today are even better than usual."
Asuna's expression softened when she heard Kirito calling her name. In fact, thanks to her instructions, players are able to accurately handle and fight the dragons. No one died, thanks to Diabel and Asuna's instructions.
In addition, Asuna's own sword skills also caused considerable damage to the flying dragon.
"I always feel that as long as I am with Kirito-kun and Lilan, I will have a sense of stability and be able to better exert my commanding ability. Maybe it is because Kirito-kun and Lilan have a magical power that can make everyone change. You have to be stronger."
"That's not the case. The reason why Lilan and I were able to fight smoothly was because everyone was together to support us. It was because of everyone's presence that Lilan and I were able to fight. Moreover, sometimes without everyone's help, we would not be able to fight. could be in danger."
Asuna smiled and said, "That's right." She looked behind Kirito, and Kirito followed her gaze.
