In Aincrad, each floor boss's room is different.
The boss guarding room on the first floor is a hall similar to the audience hall.
The floor-guarding boss room on the 74th floor is a battlefield similar to an altar.
The floor-guarding boss room on the 75th floor is a rather wide dome-shaped space, covering an area as large as the Colignia Arena, and the walls are arc-shaped and gradually extend upwards, all the way to the distant place. The upper floors were curved together, creating a closed feeling that the previous floor-guarding boss rooms did not have, making the temperature seem to rise.
At this time, a total of 737 top SAO players swarmed in and dispersed in batches, standing in various positions with weapons raised.
"boom!"
The door behind them closed with a loud bang, telling everyone that this battle could only be fought to the end without any retreat.
"Dong dong... dong dong..."
The sound of a solid heartbeat came from nowhere, but it was clearly audible.
""
The silent air seemed to turn into a thick quagmire, making it difficult to breathe.
"Gulu..."
It seemed that someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the sound echoed in this space.
The famous players formed a formation like small groups, holding weapons tightly in their hands, and their eyes wandered around nervously, looking for the figure that must be extremely huge, symbolizing a boss-level monster.
However, after waiting for a full minute...
"No... ?"
Holding two one-handed swords, one black and one white, Kirito, whose "Enemy Hunting" skill has been fully learned, sounded both surprised and wary at the same time.
"Where's the boss?"
"How not?"
Klein and Agil were equally surprised, causing every famous player present to look at each other.
The boss on the defensive floor has not appeared for a long time, so the scene gradually became noisy.
"..."
Even Asuna's face tightened, and her gaze swept around her like a sharp sword.
Luo Zhen was naturally scanning every corner of the scene.
It's a pity that even Luo Zhen, who has the "Mind Eye", cannot detect the existence of the boss on the defensive floor.
After all, the skill called "Mind's Eye" can see the microscopic world, not the world in front of you. The real power lies in peering into phenomena, not reality. Therefore, even Luo Zhen cannot detect anything strange. .
(If there is a at this time...)
Even if the enemy can become invisible, Luo Zhen can find it.
But what is not there is nothing. Luo Zhen does not expect to have no cards left in his hand, so he can only stare at the space in front of him with all his strength.
at this time...
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Cai Die and Hua Die, who had always been vigilant around Luo Zhen, made sharp screams at the same time.
Luo Zhen instantly understood the meaning of the cries of the familiars.
The familiars with superior perception ability were telling Luo Zhen.
"above!"
Luo Zhen raised his head fiercely and shouted at all the players around him.
"!"
All the players present were shocked, raised their heads vigorously, and looked upward.
The next second, the foreign object filling the field of vision made everyone open their eyes wide.
"Kakakaka..."
This is the movement caused by the shaking of bones.
This is what enters the eyes of all players.
It was about ten meters long and was composed of numerous body segments. A pair of sharp legs also made of bones would protrude from each segment, and it had a ferocious skull that looked like a human face. , the mandible protruding forward was lined with sharp fangs, and there were huge sickle-like bone knives on both sides of the skull.
The moment they saw this monster, everyone could only think of one animal.
centipede.
It was a ferocious human-like skull with a pair of sickle-like bone blades. There were two pairs of four upward-hanging eye sockets on the skull. The inside was flashing with red blood, and the whole body was covered with blood. A monster made of bones.
When all players focused their attention on the monster, the monster's official name and the color of the buoy were also displayed.
Officially known as the Skeleton Hunter.
The color of the cursor is blood red which is very close to black.
The moment he saw this, Luo Zhen understood.
This is a boss-level monster second only to the Scythe of Fate in the underground labyrinth of the Black Iron Palace.
The monster named Skeleton Hunter had red eyes, crawled with countless squirming legs, and clung to the ceiling, looking down at all the players below.
"!"
A scream that sounded like a baby crying or a ghost howling resounded from the opponent's bony jaw that had no sound-producing tissue.
The terrifying appearance, terrifying cry, and equally terrifying ferocity made every player present widen their eyes and tremble uncontrollably.
This is the layer-defending boss on the 75th floor.
Following the 25th and 50th floors, the strongest monster blocking the 100th floor descends here.
"Kakakaka...!"
Accompanied by a jittering sound of its joints, the skeletal centipede jumped down from the ceiling like a swooping spider.
Luo Zhen reacted in time.
"spread!"
The oppressive shout was like a blow to the head, severely waking up all the players who were frightened by the Skeleton Hunter.
"Disperse...disperse!"
"spread!"
"Spread out!"
So, under the desperate shouts of Kirito, Klein, Agil and others, one player dispersed desperately.
The formation is in chaos.
But that's all it takes for now.
"!"
The Skeleton Hunter let out a frightening howl, and while swooping down, he raised a pair of bone scythes high.
The person facing the pair of bone scythes was Luo Zhen, the only player who did not disperse.
"Luo Zhen!"
Asuna, who was running outside, suddenly stopped and exclaimed.
But Luo Zhen had no lingering response to Asuna.
Luo Zhen just stared closely at the Skeleton Hunter swooping down from above, bringing with it a ferocious aura.
Although there was a drop of sweat on his forehead, a fearless smile appeared on Luo Zhen's face.
"Want to kill me?"
Luo Zhen clenched the crystal sword in his hand.
"Then let's try it!"
The moment the shout rang out, the effect of the sword skill bloomed on Luo Zhen's crystal sword.
The basic thrust technique of the one-handed sword (Sonic Blast).
"Drink ah ah ah ah!"
With a loud shout, Luo Zhen stepped onto the ground, and with the systematic propulsion provided by his sword skills, he rushed upward into the sky.
"!"
The Skeleton Hunter howled again.
The two sides were approaching each other at an alarming speed.
Finally, the green-gleaming crystal sword and the cold-gleaming bone sickle suddenly clashed against each other like cutting through space.
"clang!"
The collision, which was loud enough to cause a sound wave, turned into an echo, wandering throughout the room of the boss guarding the floor, causing the effect light to explode like a flash, sparking bursts of sparks.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies also flew upward immediately, turning into two rays of light.
