The day after reconciling with Asuna, we headed to the boss room on the 53rd floor. Perhaps because I was being chased by the capture team, when I walked through the 53rd floor with almost no enemy monsters to reach the BOSS room, I saw Diabell and the Holy Dragon Alliance, Asuna's Blood Knights, and other small The prisoner regiment guild also gathered over.
Unexpectedly, Egil, led by Klein, who often engages in BOSS battles with Feng Linshan, was nowhere to be seen. Maybe Klein wasn't interested in this boss battle, or maybe Egil was busy running the store and didn't come.
The Blood Knights, led by Asuna, who opened her heart, and the Holy Dragon Alliance, led by Diabell, both looked at Asuna blankly. Looking at Asuna, who was attracting all the attention like an idol, her face was slightly serious, but her eyes did not have the sharp light like last time, replaced by the same soft light as yesterday. .On top of that, the atmosphere is also very mellow.
"Everyone, thank you very much for coming today. Please use recovery crystals and potions to restore your physical strength first."
After explaining the strategy as usual, Asuna looked around.
"Also, if your life is in danger, please use the teleportation crystal to escape quickly. Even if you escape or retreat, I will not blame you."
Hearing Asuna's words, everyone raised their voices in surprise, but it was Dilbert who should have heard Asuna's words all along, who interrupted.
"Wait a minute, Asuna-san. Didn't you say that no one is allowed to escape? You said that it is impossible to use teleportation crystals in battle."
After saying "Ah", Asuna clenched her fists, lowered her head and shouted.
"I'm so sorry, everyone!"
Hearing Asuna's words, all the guild members, including Diavel, widened their eyes.
Asuna lowered her head and continued.
"Up to this point, I've put everyone at risk through unreasonable tactics. All of that was self-righteousness on my part, so I won't be enacting those tactics again."
Asuna raised her head and asked the stunned guild members to appeal.
"It's a living species. So don't do things like casually losing your life in the future. If you encounter danger, just run away. The BOSS room is not a crystal invalid zone, so it doesn't matter. We will do it." "Yes. Although. It should be to capture this Aincrad, but the most important thing is to survive and return to reality."
Everyone was surprised by Asuna's change. It was like a natural disaster, like the demon instructor suddenly became gentle. I am fine.
"I will challenge the BOSS in the future, but I can only say one thing the same as Miss Diabell of the Holy Dragon Alliance"
The entire dungeon echoed with Asuna's powerful voice.
"Victory, come back alive! Promise me, you will survive the next battle! Please, please!"
Asuna lowered her head again, and the guild members fell silent. A deep or unyielding silence enveloped the whole place, but not long after, a round of applause broke the silence.
A member of the Bloodsworn Order applauded. But soon, the surrounding Bloody Knights, the Holy Dragon Alliance including Diabell, and the people from the small guild all began to applaud, and the dry applause wrapped up the applause in front of the boss room. stand up. Yes——Everyone agrees with Asuna. As for the atmosphere, the gritty feel I'd been craving for was gone and replaced with something warm and powerful.
Seeing this, Shino breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've reached Asuna's mood."
"Ah. Everyone has accepted the replacement of the deputy captain. In other words, it should be that they have never wanted to accept it."
Hearing my words, Lilan next to her sighed.
"How's it going? I was worried that the Bloodsworn Knights would stand in my way, but I'm glad that didn't happen."
"Are you worried about that?"
"No wonder. People are changeable, and it's normal to show rejection to sudden changes. I thought Asuna would be rejected as a sudden change, but]
Shino chuckled softly.
"Asuna, you're not the kind of person who needs to worry. If you reflect on everything you've done so far and say you'll find a better way from now on, most people will accept it. Especially if you're like Asuna Such people usually have a good atmosphere."
Asuna's natural scent and emotions are truly gentle, soft, and above all, warm. I don't think there were many people who said they didn't want to be in that atmosphere. The reaction of the Bloodsworn Knights and the guilds around them may have been natural.
"Then, it's time for the BOSS battle. Shino, do you know the summary of the BOSS battle?"
"I can probably understand. However, Lilan will shrink and be greatly weakened after entering the boss battle. And if Lilan wants to recover from the boss battle, she must attack the boss and fill up the slot."
"Yes. When Lilan returns to normal and I ride on his back, it will be called "human and dragon unity." However, if the gauge is filled up, the boss battle will not be able to achieve "human dragon unity." "
I noticed this while fighting the giant, but as I filled up the human-dragon gauge to the max, the gauge gradually decreased as I turned into a human-dragon. Considering my theory from the games I've played so far, human-dragon unification with Lelan will be canceled when this slot is empty.
In the last fight I defeated it before the gauge was empty so that didn't happen but I'm either going to weaken the boss as much as possible while doing Ryuichi Tai or just knock it out but this will be a boss fight key in.
While thinking this, Shino said with an unhappy expression.
“It’s not that there’s unlimited use.
"No way. It can be seen that the development team is also a serious player."
"In any case, the human-dragon cannot be used infinitely. That being the case, it seems that the key to clearing the boss battle is to quickly fill and release the gauge, so that you can move quickly to weaken the boss even while the human-dragon is united."
That's it. To fill up the meter, I have to attack, so I listen to the boss's behavior, read his behavior patterns, and then attack in one fell swoop.
"I'm pretty good at reading the enemy's movements, so I'm pretty sure. But the question is Shino. How far can Shino hit, or how far can he hit?"
A little anger appeared on Shino's face.
"Don't laugh at me, you are definitely everyone's trump card."
Indeed, Lilan and I were able to combine humans and dragons in a way that other players couldn't do, and in the previous boss battle, even though it was only a quarter of the points, we weakened the boss in one go. Renryu Yitai is definitely the player's last trump card to overwhelm the boss monster.
"Yes, but is it okay to run again? You are the one who controls the power of Human-Dragon No. 1. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."
Lilan shook her head, with a smile on her face.
"It should be fine. You should put other people and Shino first before myself. Your duty in the boss battle is to protect the players, minimize casualties, and return the players to reality safely. I'm very happy for you Care about me, but please give that energy to others."
While listening to the "voice" and looking at Liran's smile, I felt my body warming up little by little. Yes, I don’t want anyone to die and I don’t want to see anyone die. In order to prevent this from happening, Leiluen and I must maximize our advantages and fight together to protect everyone.
"Yes, I invited you to fight this boss battle too, brother."
"give it to me"
Lilan's face turned to the boss room, but his appearance made him feel very at ease.
This is the second BOSS battle after adding Lilan, and also the first BOSS battle with Sinon. No matter what happens, I have to be ready.
While everyone around them drew their weapons, Asuna and Diabell opened the door to the boss room. The huge stone door opened with huge rumblings and vibrations, and when the path to the master on the 53rd floor opened, Asuna pulled out her slender sword, and Diavel pulled out his one-handed sword and shield, and shouted .
"The whole army attacks!!"
"The battle begins!!"
At the command of the two of us, we made a sound of "Woooo!!", and all the guild members gathered there, including us and the dragon, poured into the BOSS room like a flood. As soon as he entered the BOSS room, Ruilun, who was originally a big dragon, turned into a small dragon when he entered the range.
In front of us, almost the whole body was wrapped in silver armor and had blue eyes. Standing was a giant five-meter-long werewolf, holding a huge silver sword in his hand, blocking the way. .
Just as everyone was getting ready, three meters and a name appeared above the werewolf's head. "Wolfang_The_WereWolfload", the boss of the werewolf tribe, is here on the 53rd floor.
"Werewolf, it's the same as the replay."
The little wolf dragon on his shoulder cursed softly.
"You are no match for me. Do it, Kirito!"
"Maybe it was homophobia, but if I didn't attack, Lelan wouldn't be able to go back to normal."
When I was about to say this, Shino seemed a little surprised.
"Is that the boss monster? It's different from what I thought."
"What do you think the boss monster is?"
"I thought it had a unique look and that just looking at it would overwhelm me. I guess I was wrong."
"Haha, if something like that appeared in every boss battle, we wouldn't be able to survive now."
After giving Shino a wry smile, the giant wolf immediately opened its mouth and let out a loud roar. The sound is close to the howl of a real wolf, but I felt a lack of power when hearing Lilan's howl and the "Silent Sound" that only Lilan can use to completely block the movement of monsters, players, and other objects.
I was immediately reminded of the monsters I'd fought so far.
"The weapon used by the werewolf is a big sword." It can be guessed that the skill used is a two-handed sword skill, but it is also a bit troublesome. Two-handed sword skills can appear through the maximum value of one-handed sword skills.
It is a rare skill that can be used, but it has the characteristics of a rare skill. Every time you use a sword skill, a special effect buff will be generated to strengthen yourself, and all sword skills are long-range attacks and high firepower.
We can also use special effect skills, but the two-handed sword skill has special effects when activated. What kind of special effects will be produced depends on the sword skill, but most of them greatly strengthen themselves.
In addition, whenever we activate special effects skills, stiffness will almost appear, but with a two-handed sword, as long as a sword skill is used, there will be special effects, and stiffness is just a sword skill.
