\"Diabel, dodge!\"
My voice fell silent, and the Beast King swung up and down, knocking down Diabel and many coalition players on the spot, and then swung his sword upward along the ground, knocking the fallen players into the sky. He assumed the same posture as before Iai, began to accumulate strength, and swung the sword towards the place where the player in front fell. At this moment, a storm erupted from the Beast King, and Diabel and others who were swallowed were blown away and fell to the ground. It rolled on the ground several times and finally stopped.
\"Diabel, are you okay!?\"
Just when Diaberu wanted to stand up, he fell down again. When I turned my attention to hp, there was only a red meter indicating remaining danger in points. It looked like he survived, but his injuries were close to fatal.
What happened to the people around me? When I looked up, the strong men of the Holy Dragon Alliance and the Blood Knights fell to the ground after being knocked to the ground by the Beast King's sword skills. A chill ran down my spine as I watched it explode into polygonal fragments. Although it can only be seen now, the number of explosions is seven. Only the highest-ranking Diaber survived.
"What do you mean?" I didn't expect that after running so far, seven people were killed!
After witnessing the heavy losses suffered by Diabelu, with seven casualties, the coalition forces began to disintegrate the gorgeous formation, exposing gaps. They probably never thought that there would be casualties. However, in this case, they cannot attack or recover. Once the attack comes, they will be the same as the seven people now.
The scene of the group of black cats on a moonlit night and the time of Xing's death flashed in his mind. goodbye. That moment was about to happen again before my eyes. If this continues, Beast King, Kayaba, and everyone in this world will be killed.
——How can such a thing be forgiven? Do you want to repeat this scene again? To prevent this from happening again, Yuiichi's solution is to completely reverse this situation. I already have a way to do this. I might have said something if it had been activated, but that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.
I immediately took out the healing crystal and chanted "Heal" to fully restore Diabel's health. Then I shouted to Asuna, Klein, and Yuki who were frightened on the front line, and to Shino who was asking how to attack from behind.
\"Asuna, Klein, Yuuki! You only have ten seconds to block the kobold lord's attack! As soon as I jump out, Sinon shoots an arrow at him to make him retreat!\"
The three of them accepted my instructions and began to rush towards the Beast King. Sinon also raised her bow and began to aim at the Beastman King's weak point - the abdomen. Listening to everyone's voices and the sound of swords clashing, I opened the equipment window, placed Lisbeth's masterpiece "Dark Repulser" shield, and used the skill to change from "one-handed sword" to "dual-wielded" Sword\", pressed the "OK" button, and stood up.
After confirming the new weight on his back, he began to slide on the ground. Just after being attacked by three people, the kobold lord's target had completely deviated from me, but when I approached him, the kobold lord turned his body towards me and prepared his sword, but immediately, a sword covered with light The arrow flew past me and pierced the kobold lord's belly.
The arrow shot by Sinon——I approached the kobold lord who fell to his knees after being suddenly attacked, and shouted again to the stiff three people who were shooting sword skills.
"change!!"
After receiving my order, the three of them retreated and left the Beast King. When only the Orc King and I were left in the corner of the boss room, I prepared to activate my sword skills. The sword was wrapped in black-purple light and I swung it towards the Orc King, which was full of gaps.
"Nightmare Rain!!"
With each swing of the sword, the effect is like a demon tearing apart its prey with its sharp claws, tearing the enemy's body into pieces. It was a nightmare in itself from the enemy's perspective, as I fired off 16 super-powerful attacks at a speed that made my head spin. The Orc King, whose body had been slashed sixteen times, screamed and retreated, his remaining health points significantly reduced. The human-dragon meter displayed below me has flashed several times and reached the far right end. Now you can!
"Run again————!!"
I yelled, and a big light burst out from behind. A few seconds later, a huge body crossed over and knocked down the Orc King in front of me. It has platinum-gold horns on its chest and abdomen, with a majestic outline like a wolf, a large sword-like horn on its forehead, a large forked golden horn above its ears, and an angel-like horn on its back. In front of me is a giant dragon about fifteen meters long. Its wings are white-gold feathers, which can even be described as white. Its whole body is wrapped in golden carapace-like armor. It appeared, but I immediately jumped on its back and turned to the Orc King.
"Let's go, Lilan avenges the guy who was killed just now."
Lilan nodded, stepped on the floor and roared, restraining the Orc King.
\"Come here, you little piggy. It looks bad, but I'll take care of it.
The hated Orc King roared desperately, perhaps understanding Lilan's words, and raised his giant sword to slash at him, but Lilan responded with the horn of the sword without hesitation, and the Orc King's giant sword and blade slammed into him. on each other. Other. Rice fields. Violent sparks swirled up, and my face felt a little hot, but I didn’t care anymore. I felt that my eyes were already red with anger because of the victim, and an impulse to defeat the Beast King immediately was driving me.
I felt a light gathering behind him, as if the light had reached him. This is the harbinger of Li Ran's tail giant sword's concentrated light blast sword skill. When he quickly sheathed the sword and placed it against Lilan's back, Lilan turned over the sword of the orc king who was fighting him to scare him, and took advantage of this opportunity to activate her sword skills.
\"Orbit gear!!\"
At the same time as the sound sounded, Lilan turned her body twice and slashed the Orc King four times with the sword on her forehead and the sword on her tail. It was not a player, but a large monster about the same size as himself. The beast king who was attacked by a boss-level monster was knocked backwards and fell to the ground, losing his penultimate remaining life, and the last one. I met one. Still, it's a yellow warning.
"Running again, not yet, block him!!"
"I know! I will still attack, so don't be intimidated!\"
Holding Lilan's "voice", Lilan ran again, closing the distance with the retreating Beast King, but maybe she was afraid of Lilan's approach, or maybe she was angry with Lilan. Well, the orc king roared angrily and clenched the giant sword with both hands. , and tried to cut Lilan and me in half with the helmet rip.
The moment the sword approached at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, Lilan suddenly lowered her face and swung it. The sword on Liran's forehead collided with the Orc King's giant sword. In an instant, violent sparks burst out, and at this time, the Orc King's giant sword flew straight up. Ruilan's power conquered him.
At the moment when the Orc King lost his weapon and started to panic, Lilan raised her head and blew out a scorching beam of breath, which fell on the Orc King's sword. Bathed in the heat rays emanating from Riran's mouth, the beastman king's giant sword became hot and dyed bright red, just like the burning sword Yui used to destroy the boss. It started to fall, but the Orc King tried to catch it and jumped up immediately - at this moment, Lilann also jumped up, caught up with the Orc King, and used the Orc King as a stepping stone to jump up, Turning red all over, I grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands. With a sword in both hands, he slashed towards the Beastman King.
The scorching sword pierced the face of the Orc King, and the sound of burning flesh and the effect of steam rose from the Orc King's face. The Orc King struggled in pain, and his health turned red, with ten points left. Life has reached a point where the strength is exhausted after a few shots.
I immediately looked around and saw that Yuuki was still watching our battle, and I immediately shouted to him.
\"Yuki, stop! I'm going to end the fight with this guy!\"
Yuuki nodded in surprise and ran to us, but at the same time, I jumped off Riran's back, pulled out two swords, ran to the ground with Yuuki, and approached the Beastman King. When he came to the Beastman King, Yuuki raised the corners of his mouth.
"I can't use it, but maybe I should try to imitate it!"
After saying that, Yuuki immediately started stabbing the Beast King without letting the light from his sword shine on him, but I couldn't believe my eyes. Although Yuuki did not receive any system assistance, he unleashed a stabbing attack that was almost invisible to the naked eye. In fact, this has happened 10 times. I understand this is why Yuuki is called the ultimate punch in ALo.
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Then Yuuki let out the eleventh stinging roar, which might be his last. The body of the Beastman King, which received the final blow, floated lightly into the sky as if it was being lifted up. Although I didn't freeze, I still exchanged with Yuuki, using two swords to release the same piercing attribute sword skills as Yuuki, covering the swords in red light.
"Hahaha!!!"
The sword was covered with red light, and the dual-wielding sword skill "Red Splash" was activated to stab the enemy eight times in a row. I let the sword skill assist my body eight times while mixing speed, and slammed into the enemy. The abdomen, this is the weak point of the Beast King. And the moment he decided to strike the final blow, the Orc King's body was blown away to the throne-like object at the back of the room and crashed down. Not long after, it turned into a light blue figure. In less than ten seconds, it exploded into countless polygonal fragments with a loud explosion and disappeared.
The next moment, the originally noisy boss room fell into silence, leaving only us players. In front of us who have been fighting until now are proof that the boss has been defeated and the stairs to the next floor are released, and the encouragement of the system to end the boss battle appears in white letters.
The moment the players saw these letters, they all started to rejoice, and the boss room was filled with cheers.
"That abominable beast king has been defeated." That sense of accomplishment will definitely arouse everyone's cheers, but I don't dare to do that at all. Because seven people had been killed in the previous boss attack.
If I had released the Two Sword Moves earlier and activated the Human-Dragon Fusion earlier, maybe this situation wouldn't have happened - this thought was swirling in my heart, and somehow I didn't feel happy. I didn't.
As I sat down, I heard a voice behind me and felt tired.
\"Kirito\"
Looking back, the people there were Diabell and the senior leaders of the Holy Dragon Alliance, Asuna and the strong Bloodsworn Knights Klein, Yuki, and Shino.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Seven people died."
Everyone looked at my words in low voices, but after a while, Diabel shook his head.
\"The fault is mine, Kirito. If I had given clearer instructions, they would not have participated in this attack. This is not your fault, Kirito.\"
\"In that case, I am Kirito-kun too. If I had observed it at that time and issued instructions in advance to draw people's attention, this kind of thing might not have happened."
"I didn't say anything." Then, Klein patted me on the shoulder.
"Of course it's sad that there are casualties. Let's aim to live as long as possible and get out of this world back to reality."
Seeing Klein's comforting face made me feel better. It's certainly sad and frustrating to make sacrifices, but we shouldn't stop there.
"Yes..."
I stood up as I said that, but at that moment, Asuna gently grabbed the joint of my left arm with her right hand.
"Even so, the Holy Dragon Alliance did suffer four casualties, and the Blood Knights also suffered three casualties. Let's go back to the next floor and hold a funeral for them."
"I agree. Let us do our best to mourn all those who have died."
When I nodded to Asuna and Diabel, Klein turned his gaze to my back.
\"Speaking of which, Kirito, what was that just now?\"
"Uh, are you talking about the fusion of human and dragon? If it is the fusion of human and dragon, we have already talked about it."
"No, that's when I equipped two swords and used skills I've never seen before. What the hell is that?"
Speaking of which, today is the first time I've shown my dual-wielding skills to anyone except Sinon. From everyone's perspective, that battle was about them not knowing what was going on.
\"This is a "dual-wielding skill, which is probably similar to Heathcliff's "Holy Sword" skill. Equipped with swords in both hands, you can carry out massive attacks.\"
After hearing my explanation, the people around me raised their voices, and one of them, Diabel, said.
"It's amazing, how did it come out?"
"I don't know, but one day I was looking at the skill window and it just popped up. There was nothing there before that day, so I don't really know what caused it to appear."
Klein looked disappointed.
\"What the hell is going on? It doesn't make any sense, does it? You are the only one who can get good things. Replay \"Two Swords Style\" Ms. Shino. I don't think so."
\"Asuna looked slightly relieved.\"
\"But this time we were saved by Kirito-kun's "Two Sword Fighting".
\"I'm glad to hear that, Asuna. Let's go to the city and launch——\"
As soon as we finished speaking, we heard screams coming from the door of the boss's room, and we were startled. The boss has been defeated, and there should be no way for the player to defeat it, but what exactly happened? It's been determined.
He was wearing a tattered black poncho and black trousers, with a ferocious face and a ferocious weapon in his hand. He looked like he was born to slaughter about fifteen players.
Among them, the black cloak blended into the darkness and the conspicuous black trousers have not changed, but the one holding the needle sword Estok and wearing the skull mask is equipped with a black mask specially designed for black hollows. One man was holding a dagger dyed green, and another was a tall man holding a huge cleaver-like dagger. I almost felt a chill, but it disappeared quickly.
——Because about 10 allied players participating in the boss battle near them fell down one after another, turning into light blue figures and scattering polygonal fragments. I called the person who may have killed these 10 people.
"[Laughing Coffin Luffin Coffin]!!"
Seemingly noticing my voice, the tall man holding the meat cleaver raised his lips.
