"Bang..."
With a heavy roar, the door that had just been opened was closed, making the surroundings dark.
Luo Zhen only felt that the field of vision in front of him completely disappeared for an instant, but then recovered again.
Because, a burst of dazzling light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire space from top to bottom, driving away all darkness.
Only then did Luo Zhen see the surrounding situation clearly.
This is a rather wide circular dome space.
The interior of the dome is like being inside the World Tree. The floor is made up of many objects like thick vines that are tightly intertwined. The outer parts of the vines rise vertically, not only forming walls, but also slowly extending to the ceiling. .
And above the ceiling, there is a decoration similar to stained glass.
The light shone from there, illuminating the entire dome-shaped space.
Luo Zhen saw it.
There, at the highest point of the dome-shaped space and at the center of the ceiling, there was a round door with exquisite decoration, which was divided into four cross-shaped stone slabs and sealed.
Seeing this door, Luo Zhen remembered what the statue had just said.
"Should you show that the wings behind you are enough to fly in the sky...?"
Obviously, if you want to climb to the top of the World Tree, you can only pass through that door.
He must spread his wings, fly there, and open the door. In this way, he has passed the test of the World Tree, successfully conquered this final mission, and gained the qualification to reach the top of the World Tree.
but...
"The operator won't let players fly there so easily, right?"
Luo Zhen turned his eyes and looked at the surrounding walls.
There, windows-like glass doors are spread out neatly, like breeding tanks for beasts. Although they look so pleasing to the eye, they give people a chilling feeling.
Luo Zhen thought of something.
"Are you waiting for me to fly up?"
Luo Zhen curled up the corners of his mouth.
In this case...
"Then let's try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wings on Luo Zhen's back flashed out and opened resolutely, emitting a little phosphorescence.
Then...
"pound!"
The air exploded under Luo Zhen's feet.
The wings behind Luo Zhen suddenly shook, causing Luo Zhen's figure to soar into the sky like a rocket. While raising strong wind, it dispersed the atmosphere, causing Luo Zhen's figure to turn into a stream of light and fly towards Ceiling in the direction of the door.
At this moment, a vision happened.
"Zheng!"
I saw that among the light gates around me, one suddenly lit up and burst into light.
The light turned into a human shape and appeared in this space.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a knight wearing silver armor, with four wings on his back, a mirror-like mask on his face, and a large sword like a clock hand in his hand.
"Is that the Guardian Knight?"
Luo Zhen naturally saw the other party and narrowed his eyes.
The other party lowered his head and looked at Luo Zhen rising into the sky. In the mirror mask, a pair of eyes lit up.
Immediately afterwards, the guardian knight grabbed the sword, roared, tensed his body, and rushed down to face Luo Zhen.
The two sides met in mid-air.
And, immediately launched a ferocious attack.
"Uh-huh!"
The guardian knight raised the sword in his hand, and suddenly slashed it down like a heavy club, cutting the air.
"choke!"
Luo Zhen also suddenly pulled out the fairy sword and slashed at the enemy in front of him with great speed without mercy.
"Qiang!"
With a crisp sound, the fairy sword and the big sword collided fiercely, causing fierce sparks.
However, there was little stalemate between the two sides.
With an astonishing burst of power, the fairy sword defeated the enemy with overwhelming force.
"boom!"
With a shattering sound, the fairy sword chopped into pieces the guardian knight's sword, and continued to slash in the direction of the guardian knight.
"Pfft!"
With a tearing sound like a piece of silk, the fairy sword slashed through the neck of the guardian knight, severely chopped off his head, and fell like garbage. Finally, together with the weakened body, it exploded into polygonal fragments. .
Luo Zhen's speed did not slow down at all, passing through many polygonal fragments and continuing to soar upward.
"So weak?"
Seeing that the guardian knight was actually killed by his own blow, Luo Zhen himself looked a little stunned.
The difficulty of this final mission, which has been able to stop the nine major races for a whole year and has not been solved until now, must be very high.
Therefore, Luo Zhen was already prepared to face this battle with the mentality that he was about to attack the defending boss alone. For this reason, he also prepared that the intensity of the guardian knights would be high enough to overwhelm the high floors of Aincrad. Mental preparation for the defensive boss.
Who would have thought that the opponent could be so vulnerable.
"No, with this kind of intensity, let alone the nine major races, it would be difficult to stop a first-class player."
unless...
"There is not just one opponent."
Luo Zhen confirmed this.
And, it was confirmed in the next second.
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
"Zheng!"
Just when Luo Zhen was about to reach the center of the dome, the light doors on the surrounding walls lit up one after another.
Within these light gates, guardian knights appeared one after another, like a dense swarm of bees emerging from a honeycomb, and their number instantly rose to an astonishing level.
Some of them held big swords, some held long bows, and some held lances tightly, forming a terrifying legion in an instant.
"so much?"
Luo Zhen was somewhat surprised.
The number of newly appeared guardian knights was astonishing. If not tens of thousands, there should be thousands. They appeared neatly, and then came neatly to the door on the ceiling, formed a formation, and faced Luo Zhen, who came in, completely protected the door behind him.
Looking at the thousands of guardian knights, Luo Zhen smiled.
The smile was very cold.
"That's what makes it interesting."
Luo Zhen made such a speech and began to chant mantras.
"——キ·チ·ゾ·デ·モ——"
This is a magic that can increase the character's ability value.
"——さ·ば·ぷ·て·と——"
This is magic that can weaken both magical and physical damage.
"——ξ·γ·χ·δ·μ——"
This is a magic that can increase agility and attack speed.
"——ㄉ·ㄆ·ㄨ·ㄐ·ㄌ——"
This is a magic that adds wind attributes to your attacks.
These magics are all primary magics.
However, they really affected Luo Zhen.
Especially the last magic was directly absorbed by the fairy sword in Luo Zhen's hand, causing a whirlwind to roll up on the sword's body.
This seemed to stimulate the guardian knights, causing them to shake their bodies one by one and dive towards Luo Zhen.
"Get away!"
Luo Zhen shouted coldly.
In his hand, the Storm Sword suddenly shot out.
"Dang-!"
In the dome-shaped space, the storm suddenly rolled up.
Almost, covering the entire world.
