Floor 75, maze area.
This is a maze made of a slightly transparent obsidian material.
Different from the roughly cut and uneven surface of the maze below, the floor here is made of black stones polished like mirrors arranged in a straight line. The air is cold and humid, and there is a faint cloud. The ground slowly spread, giving people the feeling that it was not so much entering the clouds, but rather entering hell.
At the top of such a maze tower, there is a rather wide corridor.
Thick pillars lined the walls of the corridor, extending all the way to the front, eventually revealing a huge door.
Behind this door is the room of the boss guarding the floor.
Only by defeating the boss monster inside can players break through this layer and go to the 76th floor.
But, this is definitely not an easy thing.
"Zheng!"
At a certain moment, in the space in front of the door, a dazzling light suddenly appeared and turned into a whirlpool, swaying with blue brilliance.
Immediately afterwards, a heavily armed player walked out of the swirling blue light, gradually filling the space.
These players are naturally members of the strategy team.
Luo Zhen was also among them, leading the beta testers of "Red Wings" and was the first to step out of the whirlpool and come to the front of the gate.
Looking at the door in front of him, Luo Zhen's eyes flashed with some unknown sparkle.
"Is that it?"
Luo Zhen murmured slightly.
Was it the door in front of him that indirectly led to the deaths of twelve reconnaissance team players
A door that automatically closes once you enter it and cannot be opened in any way.
"It's really clever to record the transfer location of the cloister crystal in front of this door."
Luo Zhen gave this evaluation.
Cloister Crystal.
It is also a type of crystal prop, and it is the same type as the transfer crystal. It is blue in appearance and has the effect of instantaneous movement.
The difference is that the transfer crystal is a palm-sized cube crystal, while the cloister crystal is a large crystal decorated with metal, like a makeup box. The effect is also different from the transfer crystal.
Ordinary transfer crystals can only transfer the user personally to the transfer door on a designated street, but the corridor crystal can record any location, and then open the transfer door to the recorded location instantly, which can accommodate multiple people to pass through. It is considered a transfer crystal. High level props, very convenient.
Of course, compared to the inherently more expensive transfer crystals, the corridor crystals are even rarer and more precious. Not only are they not sold in NPC shops, but the only way to get them is to open treasure chests in the maze or defeat powerful monsters, so even if After acquiring it, few players will use it directly.
In the last reconnaissance mission, after the two teams of twelve people were completely wiped out, before the remaining two reconnaissance teams were preparing to return, there happened to be a player holding a precious corridor crystal.
Originally, this player was going to sell the Corridor Crystal that he got by chance, and then use the money obtained from the transaction to buy other crystal props and even improve the performance of his equipment. However, on the return trip, this player made an unexpected mistake. Record the corridor in front of the gate of the boss on the guard floor as the transfer location of the corridor crystal, and then go back.
After knowing this, Luo Zhen spent his own money to decisively buy the corridor crystal and use it on the spot, allowing the entire strategy team to skip the steps of breaking through the practice area and the maze area, plus rushing, etc., directly Arrive here.
In this way, players will be in the best condition to face the next battle.
However, being energetic does not mean that you will be able to get through this crisis safely.
Now, each of the famous players was looking at the door in front of them. Their faces were uneasy, solemn, and even timid, making the whole atmosphere seem a bit depressing.
Among them, Kirito, Klein, Agil and others were also included.
"The 75th floor..."
A sharp light appeared in Kirito's eyes.
"Finally here..."
The frivolity on Klein's face also disappeared.
"The last difficulty before the 100th floor?"
Agil breathed out slowly.
One famous player after another, with various emotions and thoughts, stared at the door in front of him.
Only Heathcliff looked at the door in front of him with indifferent eyes. His resolute face made it impossible to see through his inner feelings.
Luo Zhen glanced at the performance of everyone present and did not speak. He just stretched out one of his hands and put it in front of him.
"It's been two years"
Luo Zhen whispered to himself.
Although, compared to the years that I have actually lived, two years is not long at all. If I were in the real world, if I were to retreat for a while and practice magic, it would pass in the blink of an eye. However, these two years are not that long for me. For Luo Zhen, it is quite special.
After all, Luo Zhen held the sword with his own hands for the first time and fought the enemy at the front, and he has been fighting until now.
"If I were in this world, I wouldn't be able to do this with my over-exhausted body, right?"
Therefore, the past two years have been quite memorable for Luo Zhen.
Moreover, Luo Zhen has been thinking about it a lot recently.
"Perhaps, even in the real world, I can hold a sword like this and fight."
However, that requires a more roundabout approach.
So...
"At least try your best in this world."
Luo Zhen stared at his palms and said this.
At this time, a slender hand stretched out from the side and held Luo Zhen's palm.
Luo Zhen was startled for a moment, then turned his head and looked to his side.
There, Asuna looked at Luo Zhen with a gentle yet strong expression on her face.
"It's okay." Asuna said softly, "We will definitely win."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen smiled slightly and responded like this.
"Of course."
Luo Zhen has never doubted this.
Because, if you don’t even believe in yourself, then what else can you believe in
"We will prevail."
"No."
"It should be said that I will lead you to victory."
Luo Zhen held Asuna's hand, turned around, and faced all the players.
"The battle against the defensive boss on the 75th floor! Begin!"
What responded to Luo Zhen's declaration was the shouts of the players.
Immediately, Luo Zhen stepped forward and pushed open the door of the guarding boss.
"Rumble..."
With a heavy sound, the door opened to both sides.
At the same time, Kirito drew out the two swords on his back, Klein drew out the tachi on his waist, Agil drew out the battle ax on his back, and Heathcliff also drew out his cross sword. Asuna pulled out her rapier, and each player also pulled out their own weapons.
Luo Zhen naturally also pulled out his crystal sword.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies are making powerful calls as if they are ready to go.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the door finally opened completely.
"superior!"
Luo Zhen only used such a word as an order, and he rushed over first.
Asuna followed Luo Zhen without hesitation, causing Kirito, Klein, Agil and others to follow suit with roars.
When all the players entered the room, the door moved again.
"boom!"
The second roar was the sound of the door closing completely.
The road back has been cut off.
There is only one battle.
