Looking at the time, real world time is 9:30 AM and in-game time is 10:00 AM. The time is relatively close to real-world time, which is unusual in the world of ALo because there is often a big difference between in-game time and real-world time. If this is the case, our strategy today will go smoothly.
Other than that, however, there was nothing eye-catching, and it became increasingly unclear why Quinella wanted me to open the window like this. Why is this girl doing this?
\"Ah, Kirito-sama, don't close the window.\"
Just as I was about to close the window, Quinella called me, and I couldn't help but stop. Just as I was about to say what I was going to say, I noticed something floating in the open window. This is a notification that you have obtained a new item and a message has arrived.
"Oh, what is this?"
"This is important."
Hearing Quinella's words, I tilted my head, opened the item window, clicked on the tab of the newly obtained item, and found that it belonged to a valuable item named "mhhp_003", which is unlikely to be found in ALo. At the same time, yesterday's events came back to my mind.
If I remember correctly, when I completed the mission yesterday, I got a lot of items that I don't usually use, such as weapons, materials, and consumables. Since there are so many items that can be obtained, before exiting this room, I checked and sorted out the number and types of items obtained, but at that time I remembered that there was an item with such a name, but there was none.
However, I understand what \"mhhp_003\" means. Mental Health Healing Plan No. 3, in other words, is the model number and official name of the quinella in front of you. The item with this name refers to the main body of mhhp, a program that cannot be used in the game.
In other words, the situation I am facing now is that I have put the body of the girl Quinella in front of me into the item library and am checking it.
\"Hey, why are you here!?\"
\"Understood? Kirito Arai-sama.\"
Of course, I don't remember ever getting such a thing, and Alice was the first one to have it, so I couldn't possibly have it. Why and how to obtain Quinella's true form? While thinking about it, I continued to open the message window that Quinella instructed me to check, and there I also found something that only appeared yesterday. The sender is "Alice" and the title is "To Kirito".
New news from Alice, quinella developer, mother, and owner of the quinella program.
(Maybe from Alice?)
Shino's mentor, and also my mentor, Alice, was sometimes teasing, sometimes telling serious stories, and sometimes teaching firmly. Quinella, who was supposed to be by Alice's side, came to me to deliver the message, and I couldn't help but feel that I understood what Alice was thinking.
The content of this message was probably what I could imagine - I opened the window with this thought. The next moment, a relatively large window appeared, and my eyes followed the sentences written on it.
\"For Kirito-kun.
If you're reading this, that means Quinella greeted you when you logged into ALo. Although it is sudden, I still entrust Quinella to you.
"Compared to Lilan and Yui, Quinella's growth has been delayed." To promote this growth, I need your strength to cultivate Yui, Lilan, and Strea so far, as well as yourself, who has already One who has been immersed in this ALo environment for longer than I have.
Quinella still possesses the function of a sailing spirit and becomes a dual sailing spirit with Yui. In addition, I also asked Yui to teach Quinella how to support her, which will be very useful for future arrests.
\"Although it is a sudden request, please take care of Quinella for a while.\"
"By the way, I can still log in, so you don't have to worry."
From the iris\"
"The content of the message is exactly as I imagined." Quinella, who was supposed to be by Alice's side all the time, is now beside me, and Quinella's body is also shown on my Amusphere. This is impossible.
In addition to not having a fixed login time or having the habit of taking immediate action when something comes to mind - which we can do normally, but don't do this - sometimes the data files are sent directly to Amusphere, because it is about Alice, so She probably sent Quinella's body data to my Amusphere when I was logged out.
The other players then transferred the Navigation Elf, which they rarely did, and changed Quinella's owner from themselves to me. Quinella must have gained access to this room and gained access by becoming my navigator.
After learning the truth, I closed the message window and turned to Quinella.
"I see, are you here because of your mother's orders?"
\"Yes. Kasama asked Kirito to stay with me for a while from now on.\"
"You also said you could open my room."
\"Yeah. Originally I wanted to ask Yui to help me open it, but I still did it.\"
"I guess so. You're my navigation elf."
I gently placed my hand on Quinella's head and stroked it gently, just like I did with Yui.
It was only recently that we were introduced to the girl, Quinella, and learned that she was the third member of the mhhp, the other two being Liran and Jupiter.
From then on, quinella began to act as Alice's navigation elf, and she would support Yui equally when Alice participated in our strategies, but Alice's message said: As expected, quinella feels strange.
Mental health treatment programs like Lilan and Jupiter, and mental health counseling programs like Yui and Strea are set to have extremely powerful and advanced learning capabilities compared to the AI here if you teach them All kinds of things will grow quickly.
The Quinella in front of her is also the third mhhp, so she has learning and evolution abilities that other AIs cannot match. Therefore, there is no doubt that quinella will grow into a stronger and smarter AI in the future, but in any case, I feel that quinella’s growth rate is slower than Lilan and Yui.
It's been a while since quinella met us. Girls like "and Relan" took them shopping in the city, so they must have learned a lot and grown up.
However, although this is how it should be, Quinella's speech is still slurred, her speech and movements are still somewhat childish, and she shows no signs of growth or evolution. Previously, Quinella's brother Jupiter, who was of the same type as Quinella, was in this state, but Jupiter later grew and evolved through various events to reach his current state. Quinella is supposed to go through the same amount of experiences every day, but as expected, she shows no signs of growing.
It's as if experience points accumulate, but are not reflected in increases in level or status.
Developer and mother Alice said, "All mhhp and mhcp have individual differences, so no one child is the same." Even so, Quinella may have grown up a bit. should be no problem.
""
If this continues, Quinella's growth will only be delayed and we won't be able to enjoy Quinella. From what's going on so far, Alice knows this and she believes we've found a solution. I guess he was thinking of leaving Quinella to me. "If we can log into ALo longer than Alice and interact with Quinella for a long time, we can make Quinella grow faster and stronger." Alice saw the situation and had an idea.
I don’t think so, but I gently removed my hand from the silver-haired girl’s head. The silver-haired girl nodded after listening to Alice’s thoughts and walked towards me.
"Quinella, you said your mother asked you to do this, but being with me means you won't see her very often. Don't you feel lonely?"
"It's okay, I promised my mother. Sisters Lilan, Jupiter, Yui and Streya are all here, so I won't feel lonely."
When the silver-haired girl said this, she had the same smile on her face as the Kirito girl.
Indeed, Lilan, Yui, and Strea were always by my side, and Jupiter would join in when Asuna had nothing to do. Also, all four of them share the fact that they were created by the same person, Alice, and they all regard Quinella, who appears and introduces her belatedly, as an important family member, so there's no ill will, I In fact, I saw Quinella joining the four of them many times, looking very happy.
Alice is probably well aware of this, which is why she decided to send Quinella to us. It's safe to say that Quinella couldn't have felt alone after such a sudden event.
\"I see, then, can you live with us for a while?\"
\"It's okay. Nice to meet you, Kirito Arai-sama.\"
"Thank you very much, Quinella."
Hearing my words, Quinella's face showed a bright smile again. I left the room and headed into the hotel lobby with the girl who had become my new navigation genie. There were already a lot of players gathered there, and typical ALo conversations were going on everywhere, discussing future strategies, and exchanging mission information, and I noticed a few people in the corner.
A girl wearing a battle suit with long blond hair, red eyes, platinum wolf ears and tail, a girl wearing a purple-based armor battle suit with white markings on her face, and a girl with white-purple hair and big breasts. There was a girl shorter than them all, wearing a unique white dress and with long black hair. They are Quinella's family, Lilan, Strea and Yui.
Before I could call them, the three of them found me and Quinella and called me, and I walked over to them in response. At the same time, my daughter Yui came over and she is usually my navigation elf.
"Good morning, Dad, you are here too today."
\"Ah, good morning, Yui. By the way, I said hello to you at breakfast.\"
\"However, today is the first time we meet. Good morning, Kirito.\"
"Ah. Good morning to Streya too. Lilan too."
"Well..."
Among the three, Lilan's face looked a little dull. In front of her was Quinella with a strange look on her face. Before he could ask what was wrong, Lilan opened her mouth.
\"It seems that Quinella did wake you up, Kirito.\"
"Yeah, Quinella woke me up. Or rather, she just said hello when I logged in. That's it?"
According to Lelan, Lelan and his friends were cutting off input channels and organizing information - similar to human sleep - and when Lelan was the first to finish, he suddenly said, "I've put Quinella in charge. . It seems that Alice sent me an email with only one word: ".
It seems that this email was also sent to Strea and Yui, and Yui apparently also added "taught Quinella a lot of things", so I wonder what this email means, obviously people didn't really understand it at the time Understand it. By the way, he didn't talk about that email at breakfast because he thought it was rude.
After understanding the situation of the three of them, I first asked Quinella to wait for a moment, then walked away gently with Quinella and the three of them, and told them all the situation in a low voice. After finishing, the three of them showed satisfied expressions. Not long after, Lilan crossed her arms and stared at Quinilla, while Quinilla still looked at her with a puzzled face.
\"That's it, that's it\"
\"Ah, according to Alice, Quinella's growth requires our cooperation.\"
"It seems that Quinella's growth rate is indeed slower than ours. Although there are individual differences, in the long run, their growth will not be stimulated."
If Quinella grew more, she would be able to enjoy various things and have a will useful to various things. In fact, the reason why these three people are able to engage in various things and enjoy them is partly because Alice created them and educated them to a certain extent, but it can also be said that since they met us Just grew up.
\"So, can the three of you stay with Quinella?\"
"Quinella is my family anyway, so it doesn't matter. With the help of my family and others, I will help Quinella grow to a point where even Alice would be surprised."
\"I think so too. Sister Quinella should grow up and be able to enjoy more things. In this case, Dad, I will help you.\"
Seeing the smiles of the three of them makes me feel warm in my heart. Since it's a matter between the three of us, I'm sure Quinella won't refuse her, but I can rest assured if she says so. Most importantly, I'm glad these three guys have a solid understanding of what they need to do for Quinella.
"Okay, I'll tell everyone, but after we leave, I'll go find Quinella, you three."
When I said this, the three of them nodded. Yui and Strea immediately returned to Quinella and started talking happily with Quinella. Although Quinella is like a sister to the two, she is younger than everyone else in terms of age, so they must be happy to have a sister.
Just as I was about to walk over and join the conversation, Lilan stopped me. Looking back, I saw a slightly solemn expression on Lilan's face.
"What's the matter, Lilan?"
\"Kirito, what happened after that? Do you remember anything?\"
After hearing Rilan's words, I quickly walked up to him. Last Sunday night, after hearing from Airi that Relan might have some influence on me, I went home and immediately logged into ALo to ask Relan about it. ta.
As it turned out, Alice's guess was correct. It took me a while to get it out, but it seemed that from the time I met him to around the time he and Shino got married, Lilan used his power on me while I was sleeping. So even the day after I learned that Sachi could not be resurrected, I could still challenge the boss with everyone, and I still had to work hard to remember everyone's memories of the black cat on a moonlit night.
Lilan seemed a little embarrassed to keep such an important matter a secret. After he told me everything, he lowered his head and apologized. At that time, I would be lying if I said I wasn't angry with Rilan for hiding such an important thing for so long, but I found that Rilan had thoroughly confirmed my anomaly and continued to treat me without my knowledge. I do therapy. Maybe. Because she was so happy, she didn't want to be angry with Lilan and decided to forgive him completely and let him tell her important things openly in the future.
However, even though Lilan told me the truth, I still couldn't remember the girl hidden among everyone in Black Cat on a Moony Night. Sure enough, no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't remember the girl's name or the detailed information.
"No, I don't remember anything from that point on."
\"But to be honest, I'm very curious. Is that girl really Sachi's sister?\"
"Ah, I'm sure of that. But beyond that I don't know."
\"No matter who you ask, but you are the first member of Tsukiye Black Cat that Yui has met. Shino and I only met you after the Tsukiye Black Cat incident. So I don't know.\" Everything is understood. "
I thought that if I used Lilan's power again, I would be able to remember this information, but in the final analysis, the power of Lilan and Jupiter are to stabilize and heal people's mental state, not to bring out past memories. Moreover, I almost forgot about the 'Moonlight Black Cat Gang' because of Lilan's power. I think I will be even less able to remember it in the future.
"I'm sure the time will come when I think I can remember, but I don't know when."
"I want you to remember him as soon as possible. You are the first Yui to know about him."
"But now, it's more of a strategic issue. What we have to do is solve the problem in front of us."
\"I got it. Hey, Kirito.\"
Rilan acted and behaved as if he had suddenly changed his mind. It happened so suddenly that I was a little surprised.
"What's wrong"
\"When you finish today's big task, or rather, when you settle down, I have something to talk to you about. Will you listen to me?\"
"Is this something we can't talk about right now?"
"Um"
Lilan, who usually has a strong willpower, although he is my "acquaintance", sometimes ignores my instructions, and sometimes he obeys my instructions obediently, but now he is just asleep and seems to be thinking about something. . I had this expression when I was in SAo, but at that time Lilan usually thought about important topics related to herself or me, so it is probably the same now.
Also, Shino and I have been talking a lot lately, and I don't have much time to talk to Riran, so this is perfect.
"Okay, let me know when you settle down. But don't think about this during the battle. Today is the regional boss battle of Frohilde."
\"Understood\"
“I’m looking forward to this fight, man.”
"give it to me"
Normally, before a boss battle, my 'affiliate' would speak in a tone of excitement for the upcoming battle, but now he just muttered quietly. Obviously there are things I need to ask when talking to "acquaintances" upon arrival.
All in all, things went well this time - I thought to myself as I watched Yui, Strea and Quinella chatting happily.
After completely conquering the third floating island in Svartjalfheim, the ring-shaped iceberg Flohild, we finally successfully unlocked the mission to fight against the three divine beasts. We can say that we are the master of Flohild. .
In our journey to this point we have often had to contend with the Grand Guild Clover, who have always been our capture rivals, but after all, maybe their numbers count and they predate the regional bosses of Herohilde Much more. We did it. I beat it and headed to the last floating island in the Swat region.
In other words, this is the second area boss battle we will fight next. We were first before, now we are second, but no one regrets it, even if we were in a situation where Shamrock beat us first. I was able to continue the mission as usual and was able to face the boss fight in front of me.
Now, deeper in the dungeon, we continue with area bosses and combat missions, shifting as usual, hovering over Herohilde. In my playthroughs of Herohilde's quests so far, I've learned that sometimes there are blizzards raging, and other times gentle snowflakes fall quietly, and I've actually fought monsters in blizzards. It was an unusual time. Therefore, I have been praying that this kind of weather will not occur during the boss battle.
In the sky of Flotilde where we are now, snowflakes are falling gently, and the weather and wind speed are intertwined, making it difficult to feel that the wind is blowing us. Of course it was cold, but that didn't bother me because I used winter items ahead of time. It looks like we can have a boss fight under the best weather conditions.
I breathed a brief sigh of relief when Yui and Quinella were in my pocket, Yui speaking first.
"The weather is good, but things may change during the battle. Please be careful if the weather is bad."
"New teacher Kirito, everyone, come on! A very powerful boss is coming!"
"I know. But we're not the type to lose, so Quinella doesn't have to worry."
Although we don’t know how many enemies will appear, no matter how many enemies appear, as long as we overcome SAo’s many gazes, there is no reason why we can’t defeat them. Almost at the same time as everyone who has been through combat and is familiar with this, I drew my weapon, and just then I heard a sound like the rumbling of the earth come to my ears.
Not only did I hear it in SAo, but I also heard it in ALo before coming to this Svart region. I felt the air tremble, as if it was resonating, and everyone was ready.
There was no doubt that this was a sign of the boss's appearance - then, the ground in front suddenly cracked, and the roar was accompanied by a cloud of snowflakes. A few seconds later, something popped out from the bottom of the cracked ground and stretched high into the sky, like a rapidly growing tree that was suddenly blown backwards.
When we were in the floating castle, we could only fight with our feet on the ground, but now that we have escaped from there and have wings on our backs, we are passive in the air and are blown precariously by the wind. , he regained his balance in about two seconds and faced forward again. From that moment on, we learned the full story of the beings from deep within the Earth.
Its size and thickness are reminiscent of the trunk of the World Tree, and its body is long, as imagined by the Eastern "dragon" character, but it grows out of the outline of its head and face. Its ten long and thick horns, the eight dragon wings growing out of its back, and the jet-black carapace that wraps its entire body in the shape of armor deny it more than any other monster it has faced so far. . It broke through the frozen ground of the circular iceberg, tore through the snow and smoke, and rose into the sky.
As it begins to hover on its eight wings and create a storm, its name and "hp bar" appear above its head. The displayed name is "Nidhogg" - the spell of the giant snake Nidhogg that appears in Norse mythology. It is said that it will bite the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree.
"\"Nidhogg\". It is Nidhogg after all."
"He looks like Nidhogg from Norse mythology."
I nodded to Shino who was standing next to me. Nidhogg exists in Norse mythology and is a popular reference in fantasy works. This name is also very popular, not only appearing in various works, but also used as the name of monsters and weapons in RPGs I have played. However, although Nidhogg has the appearance of a snake in the original novel, in recent fantasy works, it often has an appearance imagined from the word dragon.
When I heard the name Nidhogg in this ALo, I imagined a monster that looked like a dragon, but obviously this ALo's Nidhogg incorporates the element of a snake, which is a symbol of Norse mythology. Nidhogg's form seems to be designed to look like a dragon.
The Nidhogg Serpent Dragon in front of us is the last of the three sacred beasts, and it is also the guardian who protects the seal to the next area.
Thinking about this number, I quietly jumped to my partner and called him.
"Lilan, let me ask you this time, if we defeat this guy, we can say goodbye to this cold area."
"I know, I will be careful."
My partner, who looks like a girl with long blond hair, platinum wolf ears, and wolf tail, walks between us and the giant snake dragon, her body shrouded in white light. Then, the light suddenly became stronger until it illuminated the entire sky of Flohilde, and then it was like an explosion.
When the light completely disappeared, the girl was covered with white-gold fur and an armor-like shell, with a golden mane on her head, a holy sword-like horn on her forehead, and an angel on her back. It was a giant dragon with four pure white wings, reminiscent of a dragon. Its tail was shaped like a giant sword, and its most striking feature was the outline of a wolf.
Lilan's boss battle form is everyone's reliable partner and an "acquaintance" I met in SAo. Since then, she has defeated many boss monsters and achieved complete victory. Watching its changes, I flapped my wings vigorously, approached my "familiar" wolf dragon, jumped on it, and grabbed its fur.
I could feel the powerful movement of the muscles underneath my body, the scent of beasts and wind entering my nose, and the monster's unique sense of body heat spreading throughout my body. After completing the feat of "human and dragon becoming one" that can only be felt and achieved by those who can tame monsters with the powerful power of dragons, I gave instructions to everyone and my companions under me.
"Everyone, let the battle begin! Defeat this giant snake and let's go to the next area!!"
This was my order when I was the boss of the Blood Pact Knights. Although I have escaped for a long time, they have never tried to escape from my body. It seemed that it had reached everyone's ears. Despite the sound of wind blowing in the sky of Frohilde and the sound of the storm caused by the dragon's wings, everyone immediately spread out and surrounded the dragon, making due sounds. the sound of. different locations.
The giant snake dragon named Nidhogg in front of us is incredibly huge, so people would think that it would make large-scale movements and open large openings, but somehow it appears in this ALo middle. These giant monsters often move in ways inappropriate for their massive bodies. Therefore, when fighting boss monsters in ALo, the most basic thing is to carefully observe their movements and not make decisions based on first impressions. Everyone, including me, learned this from the continent of ALo and the conquest of the Swat region so far.
"But, it's big. Many times bigger than you, Lilan."
\"It seems to be ten times as big as me\"
"It seems likely that it's also your breath."
``This doesn't seem to work. Even my fire will be repulsed by that shell.
The voice of an older woman my partner sent me echoed in my head, and I was a little surprised by the content of the words. Normally, Lilan was always complacent. No matter how powerful the enemy seemed, even if the flames, claws, and horns he was proud of seemed to have no effect, he always said: "I will burn them with my flames." ."'There's nothing my claws and horns can't cut," he said boldly, and then acted.
In fact, until now, Lilan had said this when she encountered a strong enemy, and no matter how strong the enemy was, he never felt intimidated. However, the current Lilan is obviously not his usual confident Lilan.
"Lilan, what's wrong? Generally speaking, you would say that he is not my enemy."
"...that's right"
"Just because you said that means something is wrong. I'll ask you when you're done. Let's fight first."
\"Understood\"
Lilan gave me an answer, and then I was on top of him, flapping my wings vigorously, and headed towards the giant snake dragon. Although it resembles a giant snake in appearance, the giant serpent dragon appears from the thick ice and snow of Horoshilde, but its face and outline are far different from that of a snake. And since Herothhilde itself is located in a cold region, as you continue to capture the floating island, you'll be able to fight many monsters with shapes and characteristics adapted to cold regions.
From this point of view and current common sense, this giant snake dragon is also very strong against ice and water attributes, and uses ice attributes that will freeze the body after bathing, but its weakness is fire attribute attacks, which should be there . In other words, Lilan, who burned countless monsters with her arrogant flames and scorching light, should be worthy of being the biggest natural enemy. If so, she should be able to defeat this huge flying snake.
"This is a monster from a cold climate. It is likely to have fire-type attacks as its weakness, so try to launch fire-type attacks for the time being!!"
At about the same time as me, or perhaps he thought of it before me, the blue-haired knight elf Diabell, the boss of my huge guild, shouted an order. When he opened fire, Klein: With the fire element attack ability, he immediately approached the serpent dragon. With a flash of sword light, he rushed forward and slashed the carapace of the serpent dragon with all his strength. A slight explosion occurred at the wound.
The magic sword skill that Klein Yui can use, although it is a fire-attribute magic salamander, but he is not good at using magic, and that is the burst of fire-attribute sword skill "Red". Immediately afterwards, the dwarf Egil, who was holding a two-handed axe, and the girl Straya, who was also a dwarf and used a two-handed sword, approached the giant snake dragon and cut off the scales of the snake dragon. Straya also released a powerful attack. Single target attack. ——Use the two-handed sword of light to perform a turning slash.
In addition to Klein's, the double-attack two-handed ax sword skill "Violent Spike" and the spinning attack two-hand ax sword skill "Surround" rushed into the black body of the giant snake dragon, but its body's "health bar" was still There are almost no changes. No, it definitely changes itself, and it may decrease, but it's so small that it doesn't even seem to move at all.
Following the three people, Leafa, Lisbeth, Silica, and Filia, they launched sword skills one after another, exploding in different places such as the wings, abdomen, and tail of the giant snake dragon. The hardness was different, and the life of the giant snake dragon was The bar' didn't explode. Completely reduced. Even the black shell covering the body of the serpent dragon that was supposed to be attacked didn't have any scratches on it, it just shone with the unique light of the silver world.
"It's so hard. I guess it's because I live in a cold area."
\"That's why I said this. I wonder if my flames and fangs will pass through?
"But you always say bullish!"
While listening to Lilan's "voice", this was not his usual tone, and he was circling around the giant snake dragon. It made a dull noise and trembled when it landed. When its body was wrapped in thick snow smoke generated by the surrounding snow, it opened its jaws, turned upwards, and began to breathe hard the next moment. .
Suddenly, a strong wind flowed towards the mouth of the giant snake dragon, and even the air trembled violently.
A large amount of ice and snow was sucked in, and the inside of the giant serpent's mouth was dyed pure white. But strangely, this inhaled airflow did not affect us players, it was just a giant snake. A storm blew towards the dragon. Therefore, even in the presence of this suction airflow, everyone was able to fly calmly, but they also put on a posture of preparing for the next attack.
They made such a big move, they should be preparing for some kind of attack - it seems that my hunch is correct, Quinella's voice came from the wind caused by the giant snake dragon.
"The breath of ice is coming! And it's coming fiercely!!"
"I think so!"
Quinella's navigation seemed to reach everyone in the area where the dragon was fighting, and everyone immediately turned to the dragon. The next moment, the giant snake dragon stopped sucking, closed its mouth, and lowered its head. Just when we were ready, just as Lilan breathed out the burning light, the giant snake dragon raised its face again, opened its bloody mouth, and shot out a blue light that was close to the light from the depths of its huge body. Color light beam. The blue came out, gushing out.
It was a highly compressed and intense cold air, and the dragon emitted a beam of light that could be called a frozen beam. Its thickness seemed larger than its own face, and it began to sweep around. immediately. The light of frozen ice and snow, which was much greater than the scorching light that Liran spit out, cut through the atmosphere and went straight forward. Almost at the same time as the impact, the tip hit an iceberg in the distance. The majestic iceberg collapsed, creating a roar and vibration. Moreover, a small floating island was also involved at that time, but the floating island disappeared after entering the beam.
This alone is terrifying, but since the giant snake dragon moved its face like this, the frozen ice and snow light was cut from the mountains in the distance, and the cut iceberg made a roar that was unimaginable in reality. And one after another, it's falling apart. Compared with any attack the three divine beasts have faced so far, this blow can easily cause huge and serious damage. Even the terrain has changed, and the entire Herohilde is shrouded in huge roars and tremors. middle.
Although we were very close to the light source, we were still able to avoid the beam. However, due to the roar of the air exhaled by the serpent dragon and the cold air and ice compressed to look like a beam, almost no sound reached my ears. Even without being hit by the beam breath, I felt as if I would be blown far into the sky.
The same goes for Lelan, he is a much better flyer than any of us, I can feel his flight being erratic, like a bird flying in a strong wind, but I can also see him flying without losing his balance. .
After the giant snake dragon continuously shined light from its mouth for more than ten seconds, it finally stopped. Its mouth emitted a beam of light that could reshape the terrain. People couldn't help but wonder what kind of attack the previous boss had launched. By this time, perhaps due to excessive power output, the clouds had been blown away, the wind and snowflakes had completely stopped, and the surroundings were silent.
Philia flew toward me in panic, probably because she was frightened by the power of the giant snake's breath.
"The mountains in the distance were also blown away!?"
"Not only that, some of the floating islands nearby have also disappeared. This guy seems to be a really great boss."
Compared with SAo, ALo's bosses tend to have very powerful attacks, but the attack launched by this giant snake dragon is larger and stronger than any previous boss, and it seems to have some characteristics. If this is a mission where you have to fight while defending a base or town, you've already failed.
And even if Lilan fought against the aura that had the power to change the terrain, his chance of winning was zero. We have been using the tactic of shooting the opponent with Lilan's breath as soon as it arrives, but we can already see that it won't work this time. It's impossible to defeat that Serpent Dragon unless we use a different strategy than before.
"How to defeat a boss whose output is enough to change the terrain?"
"My attacks aren't working anymore and I don't really know what to do."
The voice of Spiegel, who was the rearguard because he was an archer, had different lengths, but Shino's voice was calmly analyzing. Although the giant snake dragon is so powerful, it also has indestructible defense. However, such a giant snake dragon is also a monster in ALo, and it is designed to be defeated, so it probably has some kind of weakness, and there is probably a way to break its defense.
However, attacking with the fire attribute, which seemed to be a weak point, had little effect, and even attacking areas other than the carapace did not cause much damage. I've tried everything to check for weaknesses, but so far I haven't found anything that looks obvious.
Just when everyone was wondering, the dragon snake patted the eight wings again, rising into the sky, hovering in the air. Obviously, the dragon landed on the ground only when the spitting was spit, and at other times it stayed in the air. However, it is unlikely to find any strategy prompts based on this.
"I am the first time I have encountered monsters that can't get any conquest method. This guy is definitely stronger than you, be careful, Lilan.
\ "This guy is better than me?
"Yes, you see his breath, he can shoot such things, obviously stronger than you."
"It has such a powerful attack and defense power, as well as a huge framework." The giant snake dragon is stronger than any monster I have encountered in ALO so far. It may be the strongest monster at this stage. If it was attacked by such a monster, even Lilan would be dangerous, so I had to fight carefully. When I thought so, I suddenly felt that my body seemed to be pulled.
I was turning my head in doubt, and I saw the body of a dragon and snake approaching me at the speed of the wind. I just issued a instructions on the side of Lan, so I was ride Lilan to approach the giant snake dragon quickly.
"R, run again!?"
"You say you are better than me? Don't laugh!!! \"
The wolf dragon under him made a strong roar, and at the same time made a "sound", and the flame bullet was shot in the open mouth. The hot flame bombs have different attributes to the magic. They went straight to the giant snake dragon at a almost invisible speed, and exploded when it collided with the shell of the giant snake dragon.
The cold sky of the explosion, the crust of the giant snake dragon was dyed red in the next moment. Lan flew around the giant snake dragon at a high speed, shooting the continuous flame bullets, bombarding on the giant snake dragon. Dragon dragons over and over again. Whenever the flame bomb explodes, the sky sounds roaring, and the surrounding area will flash orange -red light, and the heat will blow on your face.
Monsters with ordinary strength will be made into fragments, and even the health of BOSS monsters will be greatly reduced. When I saw the "Life Strip" of the Giant Snake Dragon, I couldn't help but stunned. Gaze. Doing it. Although it should have been its weakness -the fire attack and being repeatedly attacked by Lilan, the "life strip" of the giant snake dragon has almost no change.
Our ace, Lan's vomiting attack, was ignored by this giant snake dragon. HP itself is decreasing, but the decrease is not obvious.
"No, Lilan, stop vomiting attack!"
"Burn!!! \"
After the command was over, Lan did not stop attacking, but instead intensified, and began to radiate his most powerful attack -the hot light. Release the burning rays that are burned by the atmosphere, blowing the hot air that is hotter than the flame bomb explosion. The inhaled air itself contains quite a lot of heat, so the inside of the lungs will become very cold. hot. I want to cough.
I feel like I was at the fire scene. I lay on Lan's body and took a breath. When I finally breathed again, I re -put my attention back to the corpse of the giant snake dragon passing by. . . The power of the burning rays emitted by Lilan, which has slaughtered countless monsters since SAO, has not changed even after becoming ALO, and can quickly turn ordinary monsters into charcoal.
However, even if it was directly attacked, the health of the giant snake dragon did not change at all, and there was no trace of burnt marks on the black cachide. The crust of the giant snake dragon is not only strong enough to repel attack, but it also seems to have enough heat resistance to resist Lan's burning rays.
Even if this goes on, I can't harm effective harm to the giant snake dragon, nor can I break its shell. In order to conquer the giant snake dragon, I already need to try different methods -while Lilan I was riding was a high -speed flight around the giant snake dragon, firing flame bombs and burning rays, and was repeatedly illuminated. In general, if the attack does not work for the other party, he will stop attacking immediately and watch.
Moreover, Lan's flame bombs and burning rays are launched without their physical strength. If they continue to launch, his physical strength will be exhausted. Even moving becomes difficult.
It is precisely because this game has such specifications that I always told Li Lan to pay attention not to shoot too much with breathing, and Li Lan also paid attention to this when using breathing attacks. But I can't help but feel that Lan didn't think about it.
"Run again, stop! Go on like this, the attack is invalid!"
"Unless you try, you will not know! \"
"Although I am doing it, that's it! It is meaningless to consider the physical shooting!"
At this moment, the flames that just continued to stop stopped.
At the same time, even Lilan's actions stopped. I was hit by a feeling of being forced to move forward, just like I suddenly stepped on the brakes, I leaned forward, but I immediately restored the balance and turned my attention to Lilan.
Lilan sweaty, opened his mouth to breathe difficulty, in a state that I have never said that it will never happen. Moreover, if you look around, where we are now, there is a huge snake dragon. In such a place, we are in a state of unable to breathe, attack, and only move slowly.
"Lilan, hurry up!
\ "I know, I know, I know \"
The sound of "familiar" 'of "familiar"' sounding and impatiently echoed in your mind. Lan probably wanted to recover the posture as soon as possible, but because he forced himself to spit his physical strength and his physical consumption was too large, he could not even recover well. There will never be such a mistake in the peaceful Lilan. I can't help but be surprised by Lan, because Lilan has lost its ability to move.
However, the next moment, I heard a roar, feeling like something hit me from behind. At the same time, there was darkness around, as if there was a huge obstacle behind him. "What's going on this time?" When I thought so, a voice suddenly passed to my ear.
"Kirito, Lilan, come back !!!"
What I heard was Shi Nai's voice, but when I listened carefully, the voice of the people around was heard, and everyone was talking about "seeing me behind me" and "avoiding". I seemed to be guided by that voice, turning around behind, and was speechless for a while.
A floating island is flying to us. The islands used as scaffolding when exploring the venue are rushing towards us at an alarming speed. However, I don't know why the island is approaching.
In the setting of this giant snake dragon, there is something that can be used to use magic, so it seems that the island flew up because the giant snake dragon used it. Perhaps, with a part of the huge body, he hit some of the surrounding islands -when he thought about it, when he was about to issue a re -operation instruction, the floating island was approaching the front. his.
"oh!!!"
The next moment, we were attacked by a floating island that can be said to be a boulder. The roar seized my hearing, and the whole body was greatly impacted.
The strong dizziness shook his head, the sound disappeared from the sound of the ears, and the world in front of him rotated at high speed. The feeling of a few seconds is like sitting on a screaming machine that is screaming more than everything and more intoxicating. I finally landed and rolled several times on the snowfield.
The coldness of ice and snow, the cold wind from the rolling roll, made my consciousness clear. When the world stopped rotating and I was lying on the snowfield, my consciousness returned, but I felt a kind of faint pain. Can't move immediately, because a similar feeling spreads on me.
\ "Kirito!!! \"
\"Kirito!!\"
Immediately afterwards, the two familiar sounds appeared alternately, and in less than two seconds, they heard landing and multiple footsteps. When I responded to the sound, I found that Shi Nai and Asuna rushed in front of me, and I found that Asuna, who was responsible, was performing magic to me.
When I was almost left to the moment when the HP strip left was near the right end, the pain throughout my body disappeared, and I immediately stood up. And immediately thanked Asuna's rehabilitation.
\ "This is very helpful, Assina. \"
\ "Kirong classmate, are you okay!? It seems that you were attacked with Lilan. \"
At this moment I was surprised.
"Yes, I have been forced to this point, but I want to know what happened to Lilland."
"Since it was attacked, Li Lan must have been hurt greatly." I need to recover as soon as possible -when I muttered in my heart, and at the same time, I found something close to me. I Was surprised.
A corner of the plain emerged with a red orange fireball, where the snow was peeled off by the inhalation of the giant snake, exposing the exposed skin. \ "Remain Light \" with different colors of attributes with different colors, players who lose all HP will become this state.
The fireball reads "Lilan" and "Remain Light".
"Lilan lost?"
I fell under the attack of the giant snake dragon, and the next moment I saw an amazing scene.
I don't know what happened, but even if I was so powerful, I was not in a state of being unable to fight, but my "acquaintance" Lilan changed on the edge of the attack. Become the residual light, indicating that the world cannot fight.
Seeing Lilan, he was stronger than anyone else, and his attributes were quite high. He has been fighting until now. He has not lost to any monster. He has exhausted his physical strength and turned into a fireball. I couldn't believe that my brain was numb, and I could only watch the red orange sun floating on the snowfield.
"Lan lost!"
"I dare not believe Lan lost."
I dare not believe Lan will lose.
It should have been the strongest Lan who lost to my "acquaintance'-.
I can only whisper in my heart and can't move. It's not just me. Since SAO, I have been watching Lilan's victory and remained undefeated.
"Run again !!!"
At this time, Shi Nai was stunned. Asuna rushed to Lan, who was using the props to recover MP into a fireball, and immediately began to sing. After restoring the magic 'resurrection', people who can not fight in one minute can be resurrected. The warm green light surrounds the red fireball, and soon the fireball becomes a blonde and wolf ears. And tail. I changed back to a girl.
On the ALO mainland, if your life value drops to zero and cannot fight, if you are not resurrected in one minute, you will be sent back to your own territory, but in Swarf Him, you will be sent back to the teleportation belt sky In the door of the gate, you will not be able to participate in the BOSS battle.
If Lan's recovery time is later, he will be forced to leave the front line and cannot fight this BOSS until we start again. Seeing that the partner returned to the front line before, Shi Nai and I woke up, and he walked towards him. This was unusual.
"Lilan, are you okay!?"
"!"
Now Rilan is stunned at the giant snake dragon in the sky, not even my call. If you pay attention to 'HP entries, Asuna must have used recovery magic in addition to resurrected magic, because she has completely recovered, it is difficult to believe that she could not fight until just now, so the damage had fallen. It is reduced, it seems that he can no longer speak.
"Rerun, hey rerun!"
Just as I called him again, Lan slowly moved his face, and my figure reflected in the scarlet eyes. However, she should have a very firm look at the illusion of others.
"Did I lose?"
"?"
"Did I lose? Did I lose to that guy? Did I be defeated by that guy?"
His tone sounded like a series of events that happened in front of him. Just some time ago, we hit a floating island thrown by a giant snake dragon. Although I barely survived, Lilan was unable to fight. It can be said that Lilan lost to the giant snake dragon because he could not bear the attack of the giant snake dragon.
However, now that Lilan is resurrected in time, he can return to the battle with the giant snake dragon immediately, and he has not been defeated. If it wasn't for Lilan's resurrection in time and was forced to leave the front line, it would be a complete failure, but the fact is not the case, so it is too early to conclude that we lose.
"We haven't lost yet, and we have reached this step, we will be able to win."
"Did you lose?"
"?"
Lilan lowered her head deeply and lowered her ears. Lilan conveyed this sentence with a trembling voice, and made a move that he usually made when he regretted it after doing something wrong.
"My flame didn't reach that guy, he didn't care about my flame at all, my flame has defeated everyone. Not only that, I also fell under his attack and couldn't fight. The end, it has not end . I put you in danger. I caused great harm to Api! "
Rilan is fast, and a sense of weakness is in the tone, which is not available to the usual Rilan. At first glance, Lan was completely shaken by this unknown incident.
Indeed, Lilan has not lost his failure so far. It defeated any monster, and its flames can even burn those monsters with weaker flames. Its paws and corners can cut the body of the monster that is hard. Not only in the ALO continental mission, Lan has never been defeated and continued to win in Swartarheim's big mission and branch mission.
The giant snake dragon defeated Lilan. He resisted Lilan's flame, not afraid of continuous attacks, and knocked Lilland down with one blow. The giant snake dragon successfully completed the feat that made Lilan unable to fight.
I don't know how many of them are true, but Lilan is frustrated because he meets a person who can defeat him. However, although Li Lan said he lost, the battle was not over, and he had not been defeated yet.
Although we have not been able to cause fatal damage to the Giant Snake Dragon, if Lilan loses its combat ability, he will be in a disadvantage, so we cannot lose him here.
"Keep strong, Lilan. The battle is not over yet."
"?"
"You haven't lost, you haven't lost yet, you just can't fight, but you haven't lost yet, you still have the opportunity to avenge him."
\ "But, what should I do? He has no flames of my \"
Just as I was about to answer Li Lan, who was confused, a roar sounded, and our body rose slightly to the air, as if it was pushed from the ground, and then fell down again. Soon after, the white snow cigarette and a wave of shock waves were blowing from my side, making me unable to see the situation around me.
Just when I wondered what happened, I felt a strong tremor at the bottom of the stomach. I realized that the reason was that there was a huge thing that fell to the ground, but I couldn't be sure what it was. Moreover, because I was covered by snow and smoke ahead, I couldn't see the surrounding situation even more.
"What...!?"
Just now the attack of the giant snake dragon, this trembling, what happened this time? Just thinking, I shook off the snow and smoke, restored my vision, and exclaimed. A huge snake dragon fell into Xueyuan, which was far away from us.
The giant snake dragon was landing on the ground to release the vomiting attack of the mountains around the surrounding mountains, but now it is not as firm on the ground as it was at the time, and it looked like shooting. It was lying on the ground, like being dropped down.
When I looked at the "life strip" that had not yet reduced signs, the first one was empty, but the second one began to appear. The physical strength of protecting the giant snake dragon with iron shell is reduced.
"what happened!?"
\ "Kirito-! \"
