For Asuna, everything in this world is false.
The sky is fake.
The earth is fake.
Of course it is fake.
Materiality is fake.
Even the human body is a fictitious object, made up of data and files, just like the calculations and formulas you see in books. No matter how profound the composition and composition are, they are just numbers and letters, and there is no reality at all. things.
In this world, only one thing is true.
That is death.
Therefore, Asuna had no choice but to pursue it.
Although Asuna was confused for a time after seeing the end of the criminal rapier user, she still did not sincerely believe that sooner or later this world would be conquered, and sooner or later the players would also be conquered. To be liberated here.
Under such circumstances, the reason why Asuna continued to participate in the strategy meeting for the defense boss was just to imagine what she had done before, but to try her best first, right
As for the success of the strategy battle and whether the players could gain hope, Asuna never thought about it.
because…
"The defensive boss is the strongest monster on the first floor that imprisoned 10,000 players for a whole month and caused the deaths of 2,000 people. With only 60 players, even if it can be successfully conquered, there will definitely be a large number of enemies. victim."
This is what Asuna thinks.
In other words, Asuna is not optimistic about this strategy battle at all.
Especially after seeing the opposition and contradiction between closed beta players and ordinary players, this idea became even stronger.
"If we can't even unite, how can we conquer it?"
Therefore, Asuna had already been mentally prepared.
Be mentally prepared to fight to the end in this strategy battle, even if you die, don't leave any regrets.
It was precisely because of Asuna's mental preparation that Luo Zhen's declaration at the strategy meeting made Asuna very concerned.
"The goal is a lossless strategy?"
Can this be done
Asuna wanted to ask Luo Zhen this several times, but in the end she didn't ask.
However, Asuna knew.
"If this is really something that can be done, it must be no different from the miracle he keeps talking about, right?"
Therefore, Asuna wanted to witness it.
Witness whether this is a delusion or a blatant lie.
In view of this, Asuna would accept the thin sword called "Wind Flower Sword" presented by Luo Zhen, and even use it to strengthen it. Otherwise, with Asuna's character, she would never accept it from others for no reason. of alms.
Now, although the boss on the defensive floor has not been killed yet, not even a single victim has appeared.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that the battle presented in front of Asuna deeply touched her.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
"Hooooooooooh!"
The two teenagers shouted to each other, holding on to their only weapon, and challenged the unreasonably strong monster.
They are powerful.
Unlike other players who rely on the system's assistance to use sword skills, their swords seem to be fused with everything they own. Every blow is fast, every move is heavy, and every move is like... As if it has been optimized to the best, there is nothing superfluous.
They are desperate.
It's not Asuna's self-defeating desperate attempt to try her best and then collapse, but it's as if she really intends to rely on the weapons in her hands to open the way forward, whether it's the fighting spirit burning in her eyes or her struggling cry, They are all telling Asuna that they have not given up because of their current predicament and despair.
Under such circumstances, the defensive boss, who should have been extremely powerful and became even more powerful after changing his attack mode, was actually completely suppressed. Not only was the sword skill of the Odachi in his hand frequently interrupted, but the scars on his body were even more numerous. One after another, their mournful screams could not help but vibrate in the air, making it look extremely desolate.
The two teenagers sprinted forward like this, relying on their thin figures to repel, fly, and knock down the huge kobold lord.
In such a battle, Asuna felt a heat that could not be described using words such as strength.
It was a scale that transcended measurements such as strength and speed, and made people feel that there was some kind of existence in a different dimension.
What kind of existence is it
"soul…"
That's right.
Asuna felt the souls of the two boys hidden in this battle.
Therefore, Asuna couldn't help but be moved by it.
"It turns out that this is the real battle..."
Originally, Asuna thought she had a glimpse of the battle in this world, but she had already understood it through the feeling brought by the "Wind Flower Sword" in her hand.
But now, Asuna feels that she is still too young.
The real battle is not the collision of weapons with weapons, but the collision of beliefs with beliefs.
Only those who have faith can continue to move forward, open up all roads, and reach the end of their dreams.
"This world is not all fake..."
Even if the body is fake, the spirit, passion and soul of the players still exist here.
This is what the battle in front of me shows.
"This is what is powerful..."
It's powerful enough to make players stunned.
It moved Asuna so powerfully.
Faced with this power, how can a layer-defending boss with only a small HP value be able to resist it
At least Asuna understood.
This battle has been won.
"Gahlu...!"
The kobold lord seemed to have realized that his end was coming, and let out the most piercing roar so far. He immediately picked up the Odachi, let it draw a semicircle, and turned it directly downwards.
The effect light of the sword skill flickers on it.
It is the floating technique "Floating Boat".
However, the use of this move had long been seen through by Luo Zhen, who used the "Mind's Eye".
"Nabi!"
Luo Zhen called out to his familiar loudly.
"Goooo!"
Rainbow butterflies immediately flew from afar, came to the top of Irfan, and sprinkled yellow phosphorus powder.
"Roar…!?"
Irfan's whole body froze on the spot, falling into a state of paralysis.
"Kirito!"
Luo Zhen turned to call his brothers who were closer to the boss on the defensive floor.
Kirito rushed out without any hesitation.
"Zheng!"
The light of sword skill lit up on .
That was the yellow-green sword skill light.
Kirito put the one-handed sword on his right shoulder, kicked the floor with all his strength with his left foot, and shot out like a bullet.
It is in the same series as "Rage Strike". Although the range is shorter than "Rage Strike", it can not only move the trajectory into the air, but also charge faster than "Rage Strike". "Sonic Impact" .
Then, Kirito flew like a bullet in front of Ilbe who was about to activate his sword skill.
Immediately, he swung a sword that exceeded the speed of sound.
"Pfft!"
As the sound of slashing sounded, the last trace of Ilfang's HP, which was inevitable, dropped to the bottom.
""
The kobold lord's body froze in the air, unable to move any more.
As for its body, it began to freeze blue.
"boom!"
The polygonal fragments exploded, causing the huge body of the defending boss to scatter in all directions.
At this very moment...
"You got the last accack."
This purple system message flashed silently and hung in the sky above the entire boss room.
The appearance of this message only represents one meaning.
That is the success of the strategy.
"..."
For a moment, the whole room was greeted with silence.
Until not long after…
"It...succeeded!"
"success!"
The players cheered loudly.
