Lilan didn't listen to me. When he saw the six approaching fists, he flashed his horns again, flapped his wings and jumped into the air, using his hair to catch his body to prevent him from floating up. Then I heard the sound of cutting the air and a heavy tearing sound. When Lilan stabilized, I saw that all the arms of the approaching colossus were cut off and turned into a destructive state.
The Colossus's health bar only had a few pixels left.
"You caught up with it...!?"
Then, Lilan's voice sounded in my mind.
"Kirito, it's up to you to end it!"
"I-I'll end it?"
"Yes! The Colossus is immobilized! If you can split it in half, this hateful battle will be over!"
Indeed, the Colossus was so weakened that it was unable to move and showed no signs of movement. No, maybe it can still move, but if you attack before it does, you can defeat it without being able to do anything.
But can I do it? If I defeat the boss, the battle will indeed end and we can move on to the next level. However, if I end it, that means I'll take away most of the experience points this boss holds, and I'll get the final hit bonus. The hero of this battle should be Diabel.
First of all, why end it by naming me? If you have such power, you can finish the boss yourself!
"Why are you naming me? Can't you do it yourself!?"
"It seems that although I can weaken the boss, I can't deliver a fatal blow. I activated the sword skill and planned to knock out all its physical strength, but the excess damage was not achieved. So it's your turn!"
"what!"
"Now is not the time to hesitate! If you don't act, the Colossus will move and crush Diabell and the others!"
There is no time to hesitate now. Although I might be considered as the one who stole the last hit reward, and be scolded as the bastard who took the last mouthful of soup, but...compared to losing Diabell's life, this is better.
End this abominable colossus!
"I am coming!!"
As I said this, I kicked Lilan's back with my feet, leaped upwards, and held the sword tightly on top of the giant statue's head. Below, there is a scene where multiple players were killed, the Colossus lost many arms, and the Diabells fell nearby. The Colossus even tried to kill the fallen Diabels. I pointed directly at the colossus, and the sword dropped rapidly. Although there is no sword skill similar to splitting bamboo, it is enough to end the Colossus!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
I yelled, slashed with my sword, and split the hateful colossus in half from its head. Then I landed powerfully, the sword piercing the body of the colossus, and the colossus stopped moving.
I looked up and saw a bright red line appearing in the center of the colossus. From there, the colossus split into two halves and tried to fall to the ground horizontally, but stopped in an instant and turned into an aqua blue outline, becoming a mass of Polygonal fragments burst out.
it's over. The boss on floor 50 is dead.
When I turned to where the towering Tower of Hekatos was, my eyes fell on a line of words, praising the boss for defeating "Congratulations!!" appeared. At the same time, I looked at my hand, and a window showing the obtained items appeared, and a name I had never seen before appeared in it-"Eleucid Tower".
It looks like this is the final attack bonus, and upon closer inspection I see it's a one-handed sword.
"Finally, it's done..."
"Well done, Kirito."
When he turned around, he saw that it was Lilan, the murderer who made ridiculous demands, who had arrived.
"Well done? You suddenly said you wanted to stop me, so I couldn't figure out what you were thinking."
"I'm also surprised I couldn't stop him. But, it's still good."
Lilan had a relieved expression on her face.
"Thank you, Kirito. This time, you are still alive."
"Thank you. Without your power..."
At that moment, Diabel and others who had fallen earlier began to stand up one by one. It looked like they regained consciousness. I took Lilan closer to Diabel and asked.
"Diabel, are you okay!?"
Diabell scratched his head and looked at me and Lilan alternately.
"Kirito, Lilan...how is that guy...Boss?"
"The boss has been defeated. The battle is over"
Diabell started the status window while observing my eye movements. Judging from the change in his eyes, he was looking at the "experience value bar". Although the experience points of boss battles are mainly allocated to the player who attacks last, they are basically distributed to everyone involved in the battle.
"That's true. The experience value has increased compared to before. The boss has been defeated..."
Diabell closed the window and smiled weakly.
"Besides, the one who fights until the end is you or Kirito."
"Yes. To be precise, it was Lilan. After Diabel and the others lost consciousness, Lilan returned to her original form and fought with me. Lilan was also the main contributor to defeating the boss. He greatly reduced the boss's health. And gave me the opportunity to attack. This time I succeeded entirely with Lilan’s help."
"That's right...but no matter what, it's great to be able to end the battle safely."
At that moment, Diabel suddenly showed an expression of awareness and opened the map window. Most likely counting the number of surviving players. After so many attacks, I also care about how many people survive.
Diabell suddenly showed a surprised expression, lowered his head, and closed the window.
"Among the members of the Holy Dragon Alliance...5 people died. It seems that 5 people were killed by the colossus."
I couldn't help but be shocked. Unexpectedly, so many people were killed. However, it's not surprising. The arm of the colossus has powerful attack power, and even shoots out beams of light. While being attacked by the arm to reduce his health, and being swallowed by the beam, it would not be surprising even if he dies.
No one should die. I keep thinking about fighting like this, and people still die.
"This cheating guy!!"
Suddenly there was a curse, and Lilan, Diabel, and I turned towards the direction of the sound.
The injured members of the Holy Dragon Alliance and Diabel's companions united to express clear hostility towards me.
"You have been hiding such a powerful power!!"
"Our comrades were actually killed!!"
Yes, to them, in their eyes, I have always hidden the strength that is enough to withstand Leland and the Boss until the death of my companions. I don't know why Leland is like that, but even if I say something like that it just becomes an excuse. I can’t help but think back to the moment I was bombarded with mean words on the first floor.
"This cheating bastard! He even got the final attack reward!"
"Give it to me! Throw away that dragon too!!"
"Because of you, my friends died!!"
Perhaps they were overcome with emotion from the shock of their partner being killed. I'm aware that I'm swearing, but the loss of my partner makes me feel sad, regretful, and probably uncontrollably vented. Maybe I just explained things conveniently, but the bad words still stung me inside.
"You are so ugly!!!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout, and the scene fell into silence. When I looked for the source of the sound, I discovered it was Diabel.
"Diabel..."
Diabel turned his body towards the person who insulted me and scolded angrily.
"Are we still alive!? We obviously passed out during that dangerous boss battle, but we are still alive!? Whose credit do you think this is!!"
After hearing Diabel's words, those who insulted me fell silent.
"Indeed, Kirito's dragon weakened the boss's health at an alarming rate and gave him a fatal blow. It can be said to be cheating... like using a plug-in. But what did Kirito do with that power? He got it from us What was taken away here? No way! He is here to help us! If they had not defeated the Boss, we might have been killed by the Colossus."
After the boss room fell silent again, Diabel's voice continued to sound.
"The unfortunate sacrifice has already happened. But in order to avoid a bigger sacrifice, Kirito used the dragon to protect us! Put all this aside, just focus on the sacrifice, demand the final attack reward, demand to give up the dragon... We are the Holy Dragon Alliance! Blaming the person who protects us, asking him to apologize, and robbing him of his things is the style of the rogue group "Legion"! Are you the "Legion"!!?"
Diabel's voice became slightly calmer.
top of form
"No. To be honest, I was uneasy about whether I could survive this battle. When the guy released the beam, I thought everything was lost. But, we survived. We successfully broke through the 50th floor Boss. It's all because of their power.
We should not blame those who have power, but thank them for using their power to protect us and let us pass the boss battle smoothly. "
Diabel turned his face towards his insulter.
"The death of my partners is the result of my lack of command and combat effectiveness. If you want to apologize, I can apologize; if you want powerful items, I can give them to you. I will also consider better training plans and tactics , looking for more efficient upgrade methods.
I know it's painful when a partner dies. I understand you may want to find someone to vent to. I also know that you may be jealous of people with great power. But for now, let’s thank Kirito and Leland for helping us. We will hold the funerals of those five precious victims in the next town. "
Those who had insulted him before were silent, with apologetic expressions on their faces.
And the most important thing is that under Diabel's words, they opened their mouths and could no longer close them. Unexpectedly, they would defend me.
Just as I was thinking this, Diabel turned around, walked to me, and whispered.
"Come on, Kirito. Let's go activate the next town."
I just nodded.
Leland came close to me and came with "voice".
"He may have said this to protect you, although the way he said it was a bit rude. We want to give everyone a clear explanation, including Diabel. In addition, we also want to express our gratitude to Diabel."
I nodded again and followed Diabel out.
The next level is level 51.
