When I thought of this, I had already started running towards the kobold road, and Klein and Leafa, who were walking at the front, were also running towards the kobold road. Unexpectedly, Klein was the first to approach the kobold lord. As soon as he entered the kobold lord's arms, the sword blade he held in both hands suddenly glowed with light.

"Eat it!!"

After shouting, Klein attacked the kobold lord with five consecutive high-speed attacks: thrust, vertical slash, and horizontal slash.

The sword skill "Dongyun Dongyun" with five consecutive attacks.

At the same time as the explosion, Leafa arrived in front of the kobold lord, and a one-handed sword similar in shape to Yuuki's was filled with light.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Leafa let out a majestic roar that was completely different from Klein's, and slashed four times as if surrounding the kobold lord, creating a rectangular sword beam when viewed from above.

The one-handed sword skill "Hengfang" with high output of four consecutive hits.

At that moment, when I confirmed that two people burst out with two sword skills using different weapons, I successfully reached the kobold lord. In this way, he ordered the two of them to switch, that is, to switch between offense and defense. When the two left the front line, he let the swords in both hands glow, rushed towards the kobold lord, and slashed him about six times. .

The dual-wielding sword skill "Double Revelation" that attacks six times in a row.

Once it's firmly etched into the kobold lord's body, a reaction of some sort occurs. Still, the kobold lord's "health bar" hasn't been reduced that much to be able to deal as much damage as before.

It seemed that Klein and Leafa, who had used the sword skill before me, also felt it. Just when I retreated from the stiffness after the sword skill, they spoke.

"Hey, what's going on?! There's no damage at all!?"

"What is this guy doing who is not good at swordsmanship!?"

I braced myself and started thinking as I heard their voices echoing around me.

Sword skills are a special move that allow players to cause a lot of damage to enemy monsters, and basically, even if the opponent is a boss monster, they can also cause physical damage.

And when that time comes, you'll get the same reaction as you do now, but even if that happens, if the damage dealt isn't good enough, then that kobold lord has some kind of trick up his sleeve. dew. Unless we understand why, or understand the characteristics of that kobold lord, we won't be able to do any effective damage and we'll just get stuck.

There are many boss monsters with this characteristic in both SAo and ALo. They all have weaknesses and exposure to outside elements.

Considering the battle so far, the kobold lord must have a weakness, and for some reason he must have exposed it.

(...)

While I was searching, I turned my attention to my "hp bar".

Although he was attacked by the kobold lord, he was not affected, so the remaining amount was still stuck in the box on the right. The meter below was the opposite of the "hp bar", and the meter was almost empty. It does not exist in \"ALo\", but only exists in \"SAo\". It was called Renlong Yigui at that time.

The official name is "Bokugi", and it is a "tamer" whose "familiar" is a large monster. Each attack accumulates, and when it reaches the maximum, you can revive your "familiar" and have it fight the boss monster.

If the fight with the kobold lord ended up at a disadvantage - even if not particularly unfavorable - I would fill up the Beast Gauge to the maximum, have Lilan revert to wolf-dragon form, and then turn the werewolf into a werewolf. Became a kobold. I'm thinking of fighting the lord.

In "SAo", I only needed a few attacks to fill up a lot, and I could instantly revert Lilan to her original wolf-dragon form and clash with the boss monster, but now my "Beast Rules" "It seems to be filling up very slowly. Although the kobold lord launched a fierce attack, it seems to be untenable at all. Since "Beast Regulation" and "Dual Wielding" are not only suitable for me, they can also be given to other players, or because " SA:o" itself is still in the internal testing stage, so I have made adjustments and tested it to see if it is missing.

In any case, judging from the current situation, the contest between Dragon One and Lilan may not happen until long after this battle. Will I be attacked by the kobold lord before that happens, or will I defeat the kobold lord? I don't quite understand how this fight is going to play out.

And now that there is a Prime Minister to protect, it would be extremely troublesome if the direction of the war situation cannot be predicted.

At this moment, the kobold lord recovered his posture, raised his giant sword, and roared. The deafening roar of the beast covered their ears, and everyone stopped moving. This is a restraint attack often used by large beast-type monsters.

By the time the noise died down and I was released from my involuntary stiffness, the kobold lord was running with shock and snarling. Where we are going is where our rearguard, the hostages who protect the Prime Minister, are gathered.

I don't know because I haven't been hit yet, but the Kobold Lord's attack power should be pretty high, and if the Chancellor gets hit by something like that, I definitely won't get hit.

Perhaps as impatient as I was, Asuna and Silica, the two guardians of the Prime Minister, danced forward, blocking the way between the kobold lord and the Prime Minister.

Immediately afterwards, the kobold lord held the giant sword in both hands, took a stance, and slashed horizontally. This is clearly the early stage of a charged attack that is released after accumulating strength.

Asuna anticipated this and shouted to the Prime Minister to "stand back". Just when she was about to use her sword skills quickly, the kobold lord swung his giant sword and slashed at Asuna and Silica in a flash.

At the same time, Silica took a blocking posture, creating a circular blue light effect in front of her, but the kobold lord's attack was far more powerful than that output.

Silica's pairing was easily broken, and both she and Asuna were knocked away. Asuna also tried to fight back with sword skills, but it was too late. The two flew into the air for about a second and then fell to the ground. The remaining amount of the "life bar" gradually decreased until it turned yellow.

\"Asuna, Silica!!\"

Standing next to the Prime Minister, Alice, holding a long sword-shaped sword, stood in front of the Prime Minister and shouted to the two men.

Alice planted her feet firmly on the ground, ready to face the monster, which was something you couldn't see in SAo. After sensing something strange about her, the kobold lord immediately readjusted his giant sword and aimed at Alice.

If he used sword skills, his whole body would definitely freeze, but the kobold lord immediately prepared for the next attack and swung the giant sword towards Alice.

Although the defense is not as high as before, the kobold lord's attack is powerful enough to reduce Asuna and Silica's maximum health bar until it turns yellow.

That's what I was thinking at that moment. The posture of the kobold lord holding the giant sword suddenly collapsed.

When I looked at his feet, I saw that Egil and Filia, who were in charge of the central defense, had sneaked under the kobold lord's feet and were launching an attack. Immediately afterwards, light appeared on the blades of the two-handed ax held by Agil and the dagger in Filia's hand.

"how about this!!"

"Eat it!!"

After letting out a scream that was almost a roar, Agil swung the glorious double ax quickly and forcefully, slashing five times vertically and horizontally, and then Philia started swinging it like a dagger, endlessly. Cut the kobold lord like a big symbol.

Attack the two-handed ax "Crescent Avalanche" five times in a row.

The dagger sword skill with high output of 5 hits is 'infinite'.

The two almost unexpected attacks and sword skills struck the kobold lord's legs. The kobold lord must have been in a blind spot and was caught off guard. He screamed, lost his posture, and fell to his knees.

"A!"

It was then that I noticed something glistening on the kobold lord's belly and drew my attention. The kobold lord's belly was covered in armor like the rest of his body, but in the center of the armor that covered his belly was what looked like a red gem that glowed suspiciously. Although there is a strong light now, the scene gives people an unnatural feeling.

Alice, who was standing in front of the premier, left the premier and jumped into the path of the kobolds, probably wanting to help me investigate. Alice imbued the sword with light as I laid my eyes on the unnatural-looking gem.

"ha!"

With an uncharacteristic shout, Alice released a vertical slash from a horizontal upward direction on the spot, hitting the gem on the belly of the kobold lord three times in a row.

Three consecutive attacks with the sword skill "Rakshasa".

The next moment, the last blow was swung, exerting a beautiful vertical damage effect on the kobold lord's gem. The kobold lord, who had not yet let out a scream after receiving the sword skill, let out a scream. The HP bar, which wasn't reduced much at first, was significantly reduced.

Umiki, who had just visited Yuki with his sword skills, must have seen this scene and whispered as if to show his reaction.

"Now!"

"Ah, there is no doubt about it, his weakness is the gem in his belly!"

Hearing my voice, the kobold lord who had been kneeling finally stood up and boldly took a step back. There was a rumbling sound, and the ground shook like an earthquake, but no one lost their position.

\"Kirito, is this his weakness?\"

I nodded to Lilan who rushed over, but at the same time I gritted my teeth. The height of the kobold lord exceeds the total height of Lilan in werewolf form, and the gem in his abdomen is about three meters above the ground. If you use \"ALo\" to spread your wings and jump, you can reach any height, but using \"SA:o\" this is not possible.

Even if you try to perform a jumping attack, there is a high chance of being knocked down during the jump, and you can only jump to attack first, and you cannot activate sword skills unless your feet are on the ground. ground. The kobold lord's gem appears to have difficulty causing significant damage in its normal state.

To exploit the kobold lord's weakness, focus your attacks on the kobold lord's legs to make him kneel down and keep the weak point close to the ground. I formulate a strategy in my head and announce it out loud to everyone.

"Everyone, his weakness is the gem on his belly. Attack his legs first to make him lose his balance. Once the gem falls, attack him immediately!"

The instructions that Diaber should give have been clearly conveyed to everyone, and everyone's attitude has changed. At this time, Premiere rushed to the injured Asuna and Silica. The Prime Minister walked up to the two men who were trying to stand up and called out to them.

"You both will be better now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Prime Minister raised his rapier. At this moment, something like a magic circle emitting green light spread out around the premiere. When the green light gathered around the bodies of Asuna and Silica inside, the light became more intense until the health points that turned yellow returned to their maximum value.

Area recovery skill "Healing Circle".

Although the healer's skill can be used without strengthening it, Asuna and Silica probably didn't expect Premier to use it. After fully recovering, Asuna and Silica turned to Primir in surprise. Limir.

"Prime Minister you!"

"My fighting style is to recover when in danger, maybe I don't need to use it yet?"

"No, thank you Prime Minister! You saved me!"

When Asuna smiled at Silica, Premiere smiled too.

I don't think he will be a force, but the Prime Minister can fight and provide support. It will become a real force. Reassured to see that he seemed to be unconsciously demonstrating this, I turned to the kobold lord again.

By then, the kobold lord had fully recovered. Once you know the weaknesses, fighting the boss monster is no big deal. If we fight according to our current strategy, we can win. I shouted to my friends with full confidence.

"Everyone, let's go again!!"

As my command sounded again, the vanguard's companions began charging towards the kobold path, and I joined them.

At this point, kobolds who appear to be followers of the kobold lord, wearing the same equipment as the kobolds guarding the castle, begin to appear.

Lewstria prairie Arctarium castle throne facade

Our raid boss battle continues.

The enemy's name is "Kobold Lord Weiss". We who have fought so far in \"SAo\" and \"ALo\" will fight again in the third type of kobold lord, \"SA:o\".

The battle with the kobold lord drags on a bit. The kobold lord itself has a weakness, being located higher up and is designed so that it cannot attack unless massive damage is done to the legs, and the surrounding kobold soldiers will appear and attack the kobold lord. The fact that it became a little less difficult resulted in a longer fight.

However, while it is a long battle, we are not struggling, in fact, we are fighting a better battle. Although it was bit by bit, it caused real damage to the kobold lord, and the incoming kobold soldiers were also eliminated one after another.

If it were the first level of SAo, I'm afraid the camp would have been destroyed by the time the kobold soldiers appeared, but now we can deal with any situation and continue fighting. Everyone's fighting style and the battle situation they create tell our growth and fighting experience.

I wasn't intimidated by attacks from flying kobold lords and kobold soldiers, and was able to occasionally parry them back to show that I had the leeway to do so. In the form of joining or continuing, so do I. As he fights, he accumulates "Beast Gauges", which are used to unlock Lelan's powers.

Sure enough, the main reason is that the location has been moved to "SA:o", the specifications have also changed, and the level of "Beast Regulations" existing under the "HP Bar" has been greatly increased. Higher than in \"SAo\". To make matters worse, the color of the kobold lord's "hp bar" turned yellow and finally reached its maximum value.

If the fighting style were any worse, by the time the kobold lord was defeated, it would have already reached its maximum. In this world, "Beast Tamers" who use large "Familiars" such as "Dragon Tamers" may not receive much preferential treatment.

However, Lilan's power is huge when the "Beast Scale" is full, so it should still be useful for strategy. With this thought in mind, I waved my sword and walked towards the kobold lord. After the battle entered the middle stage, kobold soldiers began to breed continuously around the kobold lord, but they never came to me.

The central guard, centered around Sinon, was suppressing the kobold soldiers and opening the way for those who would attack the kobold lord. It would have been difficult for us to hinder the kobold soldiers if it had been the other team, but since we didn't struggle with that, it probably means we weren't sneaking through the chaos.

After traversing all the paths worthy of an old warrior, I finally reached the kobold lord and engaged him. At the same time, Lilan, who acted as a tank as a vanguard, and Kaim, who transformed from "ALo" into a vanguard, approached the kobold lord and surrounded him.

The "hp bar" displayed above their heads is yellow, which means that their lives are threatened by monsters. As if he understood this, the kobold lord roared, but the sound was smaller than at the beginning, not even deafening.

From here, the kobold lord quickly raised his giant sword, assumed a slashing stance, and then stopped. This is the so-called taming chop, which stores power and releases it. Judging from its size and posture, it was not just a horizontal slash, but a spinning slash, wiping out everyone around us.

"The Spin Slash is coming!"

When I noticed this and gave the instruction, Kaim took a step back and distanced himself, and I followed him out of the kobold lord's attack range. However, even at that time, Lilan did not leave the attack range of the kobold lord, but only observed the kobold lord intently.

Just when he was thinking "What on earth is he going to do?", Lilan suddenly made a gesture similar to that of a kobold lord, and the giant sword in his hand glowed with light. Soon, Lilan released a spinning horizontal slash, and at the same time the kobold lord also released a spinning slash, and the two swords' blades collided together.

A sharp metal sound sounded, sparks flew between the two, and the surroundings were dyed red for a moment. Then, the kobold lord's giant sword was bounced, and the kobold lord was knocked away.

Lilan used the two-handed sword skill 'Tornado' with a range attack, but as the opponent's attack was released in time, he hit the opponent's weapon with his own weapon, knocking back the attack.

He was momentarily surprised that Lilan had advanced blocking technology that could only be achieved by AI, but when he realized that the Kobold Road was free, he quickly came to his senses and took Kaim closer to the Kobold Road again. . He aimed at the gap between his legs, letting the sword he held in his hands shine with light.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!"

While the two roared like a raid boss battle in ALo, Kaim used the sword in his hand to launch a series of sharp attacks like an eagle attacking its prey, hitting the kobold lord's right leg nine times in a row. Cut it into pieces. Immediately afterwards, I slashed the kobold lord's left leg eight times with two red lightsabers.

The 9-hit sword skill "Eagle Feather" and the 8-hit double-wielding sword skill "Nightmare Rain".

The sword skill intertwined between the two weapons will undoubtedly weaken the kobold lord's "health" and the durability of his legs. This didn't seem to be enough to bring us down, though, and even after we stopped freezing and backed away, the kobold lord didn't kneel.

However, I didn't miss the changes happening under the 'hp bar' at the time.

This is a certain limitation for "tamers" like me who use powerful and large " familiars ". In boss battles, the power of " familiars " cannot be released unless it is fully charged. The blue 'Beast Rule' has reached the far right.

If it were "SAo", it would have been launched long ago, so it will be very late, but there is no doubt that the time has finally arrived. I immediately turned my attention to a girl with unique blond hair, wolf ears and a tail who was standing at the front watching the kobold lord's actions.

Unlike in SAo, my partner turned into a werewolf, but I think what Yuiichi didn't change is that part of him is connected to my beast, and his body is made of blue flames. Just surrounded by such aura.

"Lilan, let's go!"

"The time has finally come and I'm tired of waiting."

Lilan ran towards me with a fearless smile. Lilan is still Lilan, he seems to have been waiting for the moment when I fill up the 'Beast Code', and the expression on his face when he runs towards me is mixed with joy.

However, it was not only Lilan who came to me at that time, but also the kobold soldiers who were the followers of the kobold lord. Maybe someone took a fancy to Lilan.

However, I looked at Lilan without any worry and took a deep breath.

“Lilan——————!!!”

He let out a roar, as if he wanted to spit out all the air accumulated in his stomach. At this moment, a voice resounded throughout the throne room, attracting the attention of everyone around, and Lilan's body also emitted a strong light.

The light was too strong, so I immediately covered my eyes with my arms, and others also covered their eyes with their arms to prevent them from looking directly into the light. The surroundings were momentarily shrouded in white, and then stopped again.

When I looked back I saw a huge dragon standing between me and the kobold lord.

Its entire body is more than ten meters long, covered with white-gold fur, and the tips of its limbs have claws as sharp as swords. A dragon with a distinct wolf silhouette, a golden mane on its head, huge wings reminiscent of an angel's on its back, and a single horn like a holy sword on its forehead.

Sword Wolf Dragon Rui Ran is Rui Ran's true form, the incarnation of the familiar who has saved me many times since SAo and continues to fight for me.

Our patron saint has arrived to support us and me.

Witnessing this moment, my companions made a sound similar to cheering, and I immediately jumped to that area.

My vision suddenly went up a notch, and the world suddenly got smaller, until my eye level was almost the same as the kobold lord's position.

Since coming to "SA:o", Lilan has appeared in this form many times on the battlefield, but this is the first time she has appeared in this form in an official boss battle. I thought it would feel really good when I fought a human dragon in a boss fight, but I was almost completely wrong, just being in the Lilan part made me feel good.

"Lilan, we're finally here, how do you feel?"

"The best. After all, I'm finally able to do it in a real boss fight. I've been waiting for this moment"

A voice echoed in my head. That voice was the voice of an old woman that I had heard since the days of "SAo" and "ALo". I was even glad that when I was in my "familiar" form, Lilan's voice came to me, and I sheathed a sword and grabbed Lilan's mane. At the same time, I felt the muscles under Lilan’s body tighten and her hair stand on end.

Lilan was fully in a fighting posture, looking straight ahead in this posture. There was a kobold king there, about the same height as Lilan, wearing black armor and holding a giant sword. Its eyes are red and sparkle brightly, but the beauty of that red color can never be compared to Rilan's eyes.

When the kobold's ugly red eyes saw the image of a wolf dragon suddenly breaking into the royal city he ruled, especially the throne hall, the kobold lord roared angrily. Lilan growled in response, and the kobold lord snarled and trembled as he approached Lilan.

Perhaps because they were giant creatures, the kobold lord was at Lilan's side in less than three seconds, brandishing his greatsword. And at the moment when the blade was swung down powerfully, Lilan kicked off the floor and took a step forward. While dodging the approaching blade, he sneaked up to the kobold lord.

The throne room, where we are now, is quite spacious and was probably built to fight the kobold lords. However, that is only from our human perspective, and from the perspective of Lilan and the kobold lord, it is only so spacious that it seems cramped.

If Lelan tries to move away or dodge, he may hit a wall and take damage. It was precisely because Lilan understood this that he chose to hide aside. The Kobold Lord's giant sword swung down into the void, shattering the ground, flipping it over, and piercing it.

With unbelievable force, the giant sword dug deeply into the ground beneath the floor, and the kobold lord made impatient movements as if to pull out the giant sword.

Seizing the perfect opportunity, Lilan stood up without any instructions from me and assumed a posture to charge up her energy. and the kobold. Just as the lord drew his giant sword, Lilan rushed towards the kobold lord and killed him with all his strength.

The body of the kobold lord is protected by thick armor, but it may not have enough power to repel Lilan's thrust attack, horn and claw attack. The horns Lilan extended as she charged were kobolds, easily piercing the lord's armor and jamming into his side. The kobold lord screamed, as if he had received an unexpected blow, staggered back, and immediately retreated. The \"hp bar\" has reached the last bar and the color turns red.

Unlocking Lilan's power is no longer an easy task. On the contrary, if you unlock the power of a large "familiar" like Lilan, it seems that you can cause great damage to the boss. The "Beast Scale" may be something similar to the scale used by the "Beast Tamer" special move.

Just when I finally began to understand the specifications, the kobold lord in front of me roared again. At this moment, the kobold lord suddenly made a movement, as if he was accumulating strength in his legs, and then made a huge jump. It flew into a large hole in the ceiling. Jump up with all your strength, then suddenly fall down, sending out a jumping attack of vibration and shock waves in a wide area.

"Do you still have such an attack method?"

\"But that doesn't work for us.\"

When I heard Lilan's "voice", I held onto Lilan's name tightly. Then, Lilan applied pressure to her limbs, released them, and made a huge jump. Immediately, he began to soar, flapping the huge wings growing from his shoulders.

The strong wind like a typhoon kept me from opening my eyes. When I finally opened my eyes, I saw the surprised face of the kobold lord who had reached the highest height.

Even though it's equipped with an AI that's basically mindless, what Lelan tracks down on the ground must be surprising. Just as he couldn't help but laugh, Lilan must have laughed in the same way - maybe even harder - and leapt at the kobold lord, freezing her body with her limbs and sending the kobold lord face down. Begins to decline rapidly.

After enduring about three seconds of the feeling of zero-gravity space and the strong wind blowing from below, Lilan fell to the ground face down in the manner of a kobold lord.

The two giant creatures fell at the same time, and the floor and ground beneath their feet were rolled up. Roar, wind, and explosion-like impact swept through the entire throne hall. By the time he grabbed Lilan's fur to bear it, the kobold lord was lying on his back, his "hp bar" reduced to just a few hits to end. If it was Lilan's attack, he could end it with one more blow.

\"Lilan, please stop!?\"

The next moment, when he was about to give the order, Lilan's body was suddenly engulfed in white light and disappeared. I was suddenly thrown into the air and panicked for a moment, but just before it hit the ground, I took a passive position and landed safely.

When I immediately turned to where Rilan was, I realized that what I saw was not a huge white wolf dragon, but a girl with platinum wolf ears and tail, and a two-handed sword slung on her back.

Moreover, the girl looked out of breath, as if after strenuous exercise. When I looked further, I noticed that the blue meter under my "life bar," which had been full, was now empty.

It seems that Lilan returned to werewolf form because she ran out of beast rules.

If it happens when attacking the boss, it may be the worst case scenario, such as being attacked unilaterally, but now the kobold lord has fallen down, seems unable to move, and is in a very bad state. , there is only a little bit left on the HP bar.

Even if you don't target the weak point of the abdomen, if everyone attacks together, you can easily defeat it. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, I drew my sword and shouted to everyone.

“Everyone goes out with all our strength!!!”

As if waiting for me, my companions roared and began to charge regardless of their front, center, or rear positions. I was among them, surrounding the fallen kobold lord, and my sword skills all shot out.

Multiple sword skills with dual-wielding, one-handed swords, rapiers, longswords, two-handed swords, two-handed axes, spears, one-handed clubs, daggers and many other weapons attack the kobold lord mercilessly, triggering a huge explosion of rainbow-colored light explode. However, perhaps because I was attacking something other than a weak point, I still wasn't able to completely chip away at the kobold lord's "life bar."

The kobold lord stood up and looked at us who were stiff after activating the sword skill. It is estimated that the next moment he is going to use a sword skill or a huge spinning attack.

Will the kobold lord's attack come first, or will everyone shake off their stiffness? Just when I was about to witness the results. Something passed me. The surrounding area is also very quiet.

I couldn't help but let out an exclamation as I turned my gaze forward. Next to the kobold lord who was about to stand up, stood a petite girl with short dark blue-black hair, wearing loose clothes, and holding a slender sword. That's the prime minister, the Npc girl we should protect.

"Prime Minister!?"

\"Prime Minister!?\"

I asked the Prime Minister not to come forward, but he did not come from behind. They probably didn't expect that the Prime Minister would actually come out. Just when everyone screamed, the Prime Minister let the light stay on the long sword he was good at and thrust out with all his strength.

\"ha!!\"

The voice was calm but firm, and in less than a moment, the tip of the rapier pierced the body of the kobold lord.

Although it is only one blow, the single-shot dagger skill 'Straight Line' can be delivered at an incredible speed.

At this moment, when the light of the rapier disappeared due to activation, the kobold lord's little remaining 'life bar' also lost all remaining power and disappeared.

The kobold lord let out a thin, high-pitched roar, but the sound broke off midway. He froze, and his whole body was engulfed in light blue light. About two seconds later, the kobold lord's body exploded. After many battles, it turned into tens of thousands of polygonal fragments and disappeared.

Silence returned to the throne room where the city lord disappeared. Only the sound of the wind could be heard. None of us were speechless and just watched the premiere.

When the silence ended, the words "Congratulations!!" appeared above the sky, and a sound effect was heard praising the defeat of the boss. Soon the Prime Minister began to make gestures as if manipulating a window.

In \"SAo\" and \".o.\" ​​there is a system called last attack bonus where special items are given to the player who kills the boss, but apparently that also happens in \"SA:o\" changed. Apparently not.

And since the Chancellor was the one who eliminated the current kobold lord, the Chancellor likely received the final attack bonus. But I didn't expect that this also applied to AINpc. I and others were stunned and didn't dare to move.

Among them, the Prime Minister closed the window, looked around, and then quietly walked towards me.

\"Kirito, is the battle over?\"

"Huh? Oh, by the way, thanks to you killing the boss, we won."

As I said those words, I started hearing voices from everyone filled with joy, relief, and relief, like, "It's over," "We won," and "Somehow, it worked out." Seeing this, the Prime Minister He also seemed a little relieved.

"In the end we won. It was good."

"But you look like you're going to jump in, Prime Minister. I told you to stay at the rear."

\"Kirito ordered everyone to attack with all their strength, so I decided to join in.\"

I couldn't help but say: "Ah!" Indeed, when the kobold lord was knocked down by Lilan's attack, I ordered everyone to attack immediately. I would have said this to everyone except the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister also seemed to think he had received new instructions and did the same thing.

When I was smiling bitterly at this stupid reason, a voice came from behind me. Asuna, who had been protecting the Prime Minister during the battle, came to her side. If you look closely, you can see Lisbeth and Silica next to them.

"Prime Minister, it was a good fight. I didn't expect you to jump out of there."

"You did an amazing thing to stop the boss, didn't you?"

"Prime Minister, are you okay? Are you injured?"

The Prime Minister turned around, nodded, and said to the three of them.

"I'm fine. Is everyone okay?"

"We've been fine from the beginning. But, Prime Minister, I really think it's dangerous now."

Asuna suddenly raised her eyebrows, and the Prime Minister cocked his head to the side.

What Asuna was talking about was the moment she killed the kobold lord. It was successful because the Chancellor struck the final blow just as the Kobold Lord was about to stand up, and if he had been a little later, the Kobold Lord's attack might have flown towards him. The Prime Minister's attack borders on dangerous.

I talked to the Prime Minister and asked Asuna to add something.

"Of course the Prime Minister saved me. However, Prime Minister, the boss was planning to attack us at that time. If he was slower, not only us, but also you, who we are supposed to protect, would be affected."

As if he understood the meaning of this sentence, the Prime Minister's face gradually became concerned.

"Maybe what I did was wrong?"

"I don't think that's true, but I guess our feeling is that, if possible, we want you to avoid something like this happening in the future. You're just starting to fight, and we want you to be out of harm's way when the time comes. So, Prime Minister, if you can help it, please don't come forward and don't fight too aggressively."

As if reflecting on his actions, the Prime Minister looked gloomy and made a dejected gesture.

However, there is no doubt that the Prime Minister defeated the boss with this blow, and most importantly, the Prime Minister also received the final attack bonus. There is something to reflect on, but there is also something to be happy about.

When I gently placed my hand on the Prime Minister's head, she looked up in surprise. The expression on his face seemed a little stiff.

"But that's fine, Chancellor. Thanks to you, I was able to take down the boss. You can be proud of it, but that doesn't mean everything you did was wrong."

\"Yeah, Prime Minister. I got the final attack reward, so I should be happy.\"

The Prime Minister looked confused as everyone gathered around and Leafa smiled.

"Last attack bonus? Maybe this is the item you just received?"

"Yes, getting this is equivalent to winning the mVp of the boss battle. This time." The mVp is premier-chan. "

As soon as Filia finished speaking, Pumiel opened the window and looked at the contents inside with interest. I don’t know what items I received, maybe rare equipment or something. I don’t know if the Prime Minister understood the value of it, but she must have understood that everyone was praising her, and when she closed the window, she smiled.

"It's my fault. I guess you can explain it that way."

"Yeah, yeah. Prime Minister, you did a great job."

As soon as Strea said this, everyone praised the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's smile became even brighter.

At first, Premier was a girl who gave people a cold, inorganic feeling, like a machine, but I feel that she is gradually turning into a warm girl. I heard Alice say that the Prime Minister is a group of NPCs who are constantly learning and growing, and it seems to be true.

When I thought so, I felt like something was pressed on my shoulder. When I turned around, Shi Nai was placing her hand on my shoulder.

\ "Poetry, what's wrong? \"

\ "Is there anything in the throne? \"

"?"

As he said, I will turn my attention to Shi Nai's direction. It must be designed from the beginning, because I saw a pillar -like thing in the depths of the throne, scattered with piles of crushed stones.

It is black, and the texture is obviously different from the surrounding walls and columns, flat -shaped, and tip. Near the center, a pattern composed of Jin Guang. If there is any difference, it looks more like a stone monument, not a pillar. It can be seen that the four are arranged in an orderly manner.

With the end of the battle with the head of the dog head, maybe the new road has been opened?

"Where is there?"

what is going on? Before I finished speaking, someone was lining up next to me. The girl, the Prime Minister, was the one who wiped out the dog leader and opened the road leading to that place. The Prime Minister is watching the place where the stele is arranged at the moment.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong?"

"There is there."

"Do you? What do you say?"

"have"

The Prime Minister said only one sentence. Originally, we came here not only to defeat the area BOSS, but also because the primary task pointed us here. With the failure of the regional leader, a new road is opened, and the premiere tasks may make progress.

Realizing this, I shouted to everyone and instructed them to move forward without protecting the Prime Minister. After confirming that everyone nodded, I began to walk on the inside of the Throne Hall referred to the Prime Minister. The stele is rectangular, and there is a staircase leading to the ground.

It seems like a hidden staircase released by the device. This is a common mode in role -playing games, but it is also common to hide rare items (such as treasures) in the depths.

The fact that the Prime Minister and the task point to the latter of the stairs proved that it leads to a place, where it has the task related to the prime minister.

However, there is a guard behind the treasure behind the stairs. Even if you just defeat the regional leader, it is likely that there are another leader monster waiting for you.

When I told them to be very careful about their existence, everyone was a little nervous and began to go down the stairs. When I walked down the stairs that could not be seen for a long time, the surroundings quickly became dark, just like the inside of the cave or the ruins.

This is not dark, and lights are scattered on the walls, so I have not been in the case where I can't see my feet. If it is really dark here, we will not see our feet, and we will slide to the bottom layer.

After a few minutes down the stairs, fortunately, the design was not so unreasonable. We reached the bottom of the stairs.

It is a mysterious place that is as big as the throne where I had fighting with the dog leader before. The ceiling, walls, and even the floor are made of black stones. There are stone monuments arranged on the wall with golden patterns, which is exactly the same as the stone monument in front of the stairs leading to the basement. It looks like a temple or altar built for a certain ceremony.

When I walked down the stairs, I surpassed the number of steps from the second floor to the first floor of Aktarim Castle. Obviously, this is the area under the castarium castle.

"Where is this a temple?"

"It seems where there is any treasure hidden! I don't know where it is."

"I don't know that there is such a area under the castle. This information can be sold a lot."

Asuna was puzzled, and Filia and Alig looked around with a happy look. Other companions are also looking around, it seems that we are doing the same thing.

Among them, Yi Yi did not do this. The Prime Minister was almost motionless and stared at a certain point, and he refused to let go. Following that sight, I set my eyes to the innermost of the area, and it seemed to be a temple.

At the bottom, there are two big candlesticks with flames burning with flames. There is a altar -like table between the candlesticks, which are placed on it.

Now that the Prime Minister refused to remove her eyes from her, it must be a catalyst that occurred in a certain incident. I greeted everyone who seemed to be at the deepest part with the Prime Minister.

On the altar they came to, there was an egg -shaped stone that exudes light. It is obviously different from other items and will definitely cause items in a certain event.

At that time, everyone's attention was concentrated on her appearance. The Prime Minister suddenly crossed his chest and closed his eyes. His posture was like praying to God, but the next moment, the stones on the altar began to exude a strong light.

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed, Shi Nai looked at Shi and the Prime Minister alternately.

"Stone is glowing means that it is reaction to the premiere."

"It's not like this I want to give you a stone as a test."

I picked up the glowing stones and gave it to the prime minister who had stopped praying.

The next moment, the prime minister slowly put the stone on the stone, and the light from the egg -shaped stone became more intense, causing everyone to exclaim.

\ "Hey! The light has become stronger !? \"

"As expected, this seems to be a reaction to the Prime Minister. Finally, the pursuit of the Prime Minister has made some major progress."

Liz Bate and La Lan said in turn that others also set their sights on the Prime Minister and Shining Stone. What happened to the Prime Minister, what happened after defeating the boss? Just when everyone was concerned about this, Alice suddenly made a sound as if he realized something.

"Ah! Is this so? Does this mean?"

\ "Teacher Alice, do you find anything? \"

As soon as Silika asked, Alice grabbed the same thing, looking at it.

"Well, since I heard the prime minister and its mission from you, I have always felt that the mission of the Prime Minister was a bit strange, but now I finally solve this mystery."

Alice is one of the creators of this game.

According to the story, the task of the Prime Minister so far is called a virtual task, and the Prime Minister has been pointing to the virtual mission number.

The NPC of this world has a number NPC to quote the task data. It can generate the task to quote it, but the prime minister is NULL, indicating the initial state.

When replaced with numbers, null means zero. As a result, the Prime Minister has always set the task to zero.

The No. 0 mission is to ask the Prime Minister to take him to the task of his destination, and there is only one KOL in the reward.

And although the task itself exists, it is said that the producer created it as a temporary data and has no task NPC.

When creating a game, we usually create rough preliminary data before creating the game in detail, which is sometimes called virtual data. When Alice explained that the task was that virtual data, it could be called a virtual task, everyone sounded like understanding it. It didn't take long for Selika to understand.

\ "It turns out, although the task of the Prime Minister has made progress, it has always been a virtual task. \"

Alice nodded. However, his face became embarrassed immediately.

"However, this setting, or specifications, is a bit troublesome. The location of the Prime Minister is likely to be random. This place is by the Prime Minister this time when he brought him here by accident, it is likely to be a corpse."

\ "So, according to the situation, we may be forced to perform the virtual task of the Prime Minister forever? \"

Alice nodded towards a cold sweaty Lifa.

The reason why we can come here is because the Prime Minister -more accurately, it is the world system itself -it happens to choose this place. It is precisely because the invisible numbers such as random numbers and variables just point to this position that the task of derailment of Prime Minister is returned to the original position.

System pranks, or good luck brought by the system. Everyone, including myself, can't help but have a cold sweat, such a coincidence that happened. Alice continued to watch the premiere.

"From this incident, the chief task number was finally covered by the original task number, and the original task had begun to start.

Most players will choose to give up virtual tasks after completing about three times, so you are very lucky to refer to the original task points in Premier.

Although there may be some luck components, it can be said that the work of Lan and Strea, which extend the distance between the PREMIER virtual task distance. Just when I want to thank those who continue the children's tasks, other players will not hesitate to throw away the task, and Ji Ji shouted to Alice.

\ "But Teacher Alice, do you say this is the original task of the Prime Minister, but what is this?

"Well, I can't answer this question. I only participated in the development of this game for a while, and I didn't know much about the content of the Premier mission. We just came back." Tracking, the next step is the next step. "

\ "Yes. Since the task of the Prime Minister Sauce has finally begun, let's guide her to the end! \"

The unusual is that everyone nodded for the Claine's statement.

The Prime Minister has now got a shiny stone. Based on my mission experience so far, there may be other similar luminous stones, and the primary task may be to collect them. And so far, I have not heard of any legends related to luminous stone, and Algo does not seem to have.

This may be a search without any prompts, but this may be much more interesting than playing a game that has been popped up.

"Very suspicious, is it the same as the luminous stone we just got? See if there are similar legends in various places."

When Ekir said so, everyone nodded again, and they began to be excited for the final starting task.

Prime Minister. Her name is an English word, which means starting, and now it is the moment when the girl of Premier starts.

When the real thing is about to start when I say that, I feel that my own hem seems to have been pulled. When I turned around, I was staring at the Prime Minister of the Stone to grab the hem of my coat and pull it hard.

\ "Well, Kirito. \"

"Well, what's wrong with the Prime Minister?"

"By the way, what should we do in this stone? Everyone is so excited, I forgot to ask."

Everyone "ah" hearing this sentence. Indeed, the current story is only unfolded between us, and it feels like we ignore important prime ministers. When everyone who saw this scene showed a remorse expression, I put my hand on the head of the Prime Minister again.

"Prime Minister, you take it, that stone, you will glow when you touch it, indicating that this is what you should have."

\ "Is this that? Then I will handle it together with the previous attack bonus. \"

"Oh, please do this."

As soon as the words came out, the Prime Minister laughed again, and the people saw all laughed.

The premiere finally started. At present, this girl's identity can be said to be extremely unknown, but as the task progresses, her true identity may gradually become clear. What is the true essence of the Prime Minister?

Thinking about it, Plame loosen his hand and put the egg -shaped stone into the locker, and then Asuna suddenly said.

"Ah, right, wait for us to go to the field, everyone goes to picnic together? I made a lunch box for everyone."

\ "Ah, that's fine. Teacher Alice is here too. \"

Asuna's suggestion was too sudden, but everyone followed Shi Nai and said \ "Like! \", \ "Agree! \" And other words.

I definitely think that the grassland of Sturia will be a good place for a picnic, and until today I come here, the weather has been very good and the sun is shining. The most important thing is that I am hungry after the BOSS war, and all the strategic members gather together to prepare for the BOSS war. This happens rarely.

I think I should accept Yasna's suggestion.

"Very good, the chief task is smooth, we also defeated the regional BOSS, let's go back to the wild to go to the wild."

When I sent a instruction to everyone like the BOSS war, everyone made a "oh!" Sound. Everyone was in a hurry to go to a picnic, but the Prime Minister did not speak. He tilted his head and greeted me as usual.

\ "What does Kirito, what does picnic mean? \" "If you go, you know, let's go, let's go to the premiere together."

"Understand, I will continue to follow you."

When the Prime Minister was about to say this. Suddenly, an explosive sound came from above, and the ground shook slightly. Not only the ground, but even the temple itself seemed to be shaking. The walls and ceiling made a squeak sound, and the dust fell from the ceiling. The crowd who was completely ready to go to the picnic was silent, and then Philia opened.

\ "Uh, what's the sound and vibration!? \"

"It seems to come from above, but I don't know if it happened."

Kam raised his head and said that everyone else looked up.

Above this temple is the throne where the dog leaders live, and it is also the BOSS area. If there is a BOSS battle, it is not surprising that the sound and vibration spread here.

However, we should just defeat the important boss. In this \ "SA: O \", BOSS also quickly reproduced, so I want to know whether other players can immediately play the BOSS battle. In any case, we must first grasp the essence of this vibration.

"Everyone, let's go."

I decided to go to the picnic instead of going out to explore the stairs together.

On the way up the stairs, the light gradually became brighter than when it came. I heard the same vibration and roar from above several times. The throne room, that is, the entrance of the stairs, is obviously what happened. At least I don't have any feelings about this. As I instructed everyone to pay attention not to be affected by the shaking, I went to the stairs while paying attention to the Prime Minister, Shi Nai, and Lilan, and continued to climb up the stairs.

When I climbed the last step and walked out of the dark stairs, I naturally came to the throne. Many walls have been crumbling, the ceiling is broken, the sky has been demolished, the floor is rolled up in multiple places, the ground is exposed, and piles of rubble piled up on it.

Until recently, this is the battlefield where we fight with the king of the dog, but since we defeated the queen of the dog head, it has now become an empty ruins. It should have been like this, but now it has become a battlefield again.

A little farther away from the stairs leading to the basement. In the place where we just fought, the king of the dog head, "Dog head lord," appeared again. He waved a giant sword like at the time. fighting.

Obviously, the lord of the dog leader who was defeated during our first event re -launched the event and began to fight with the next player.

We are not people who play this game. There are many other players who can also challenge RAID BOSS.

Maybe a raid leader like a dog leader can fight separately by each player or team, so that even after another player defeated them, other players can immediately start attacking the leader to fight. The vibration and sound just came by the players who started the RAID BOSS battle after us, so it was not a big deal.

After confirming this, I took out the transmission crystal from my pocket, but wanted to use it, but poetry was stopped.
