On February 24, 2024, after experiencing a battle in which the difficulty of the floor BOSS on the 50th floor increased dramatically, the strength of the floor BOSS returned to a relatively ordinary stage again. With the strength of both the Holy Dragon Alliance and the Aincrad Alliance greatly reduced, the Knights of the Blood Alliance began to assume the main force of the strategy.
In order to defeat the BOSS on the 56th floor, the Blood Alliance Knights decided to complete the strategy under the command of deputy leader Asuna. For this reason, Asuna directly brought her acquaintance Le Yuan into the strategy this time.
However, the strategy reached a deadlock at the beginning. The terrain of the fifty-sixth floor is very special. There is a small town to the west of the main street Pani. The exit at one end of the town is the passage directly leading to the BOSS room. The road is steep. Dodge can only accommodate five people moving forward abreast.
If these are not enough, the key point is that the BOSS on this level is very hard. The BOSS is called Geographic Crawler. It is indeed like a land tank. It is just big enough to fill the passage. The hard armor on its body can defend against slashes, thrusts, and thrusts. blow. Even the damage that can be brought to it by piercing attacks is pitiful. Its only weakness is its abdomen, but this can only be attacked from its back.
In the strategy battle, I went to test the strategy several times, but in the end I had to interrupt the strategy due to the limited damage. From several battles, Asuna, as the commander, discovered that she could break out of the BOSS room using the geographical crawler and pursue her to the town. Until the destruction of the gate, players could not find a chance to climb behind it and break through. Everyone had to be stuck in the town waiting for the opportunity to come.
A new day's strategy meeting has begun again. As the main commander, Asuna is under a lot of pressure, but there is no way. If you want to attack by force, it is okay, but it is not worth sacrificing for an "ordinary" floor BOSS. Many elite strategy battle members.
Seeing the many subordinates in the audience thinking hard but having no solution, Asuna gritted her teeth and seemed to be making some important decision, but she didn't notice that behind her, Kiriko opened her mouth slightly and faced Asuna. , hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and chose to close his mouth, looking at Asuna's back in silence.
In the end, seeing that everyone still couldn't figure out a way to solve the problem, Asuna slapped the table and said: "Let's open the village's gate and lead the BOSS into the village..."
"Hey, if you do this, wouldn't the people in the village..." As the president of the well-known guild "Fenglinhuoshan" and a friend of Kiriko, Klein couldn't stand it anymore.
"We want this effect. When the BOSS is distracted and massacres NPCs, we break through behind it and carry out an annihilation battle against him." Although Asuna's face looked a little reluctant, she said with determination after all.
"Wait a minute, I don't agree with this plan." Seeing Tongzi's expression change several times, Le Yuan stood up and said, "Are you treating NPCs as dead objects like rocks and trees?"
"Le Yuan?" Seeing that Le Yuan came out to stop herself, Asuna slapped the table and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this? Do you think they are 'alive'? You have to be clear, no matter how you are Kill them, they will refresh after a day, but when we die, we are really dead."
"Although you say so, I still can't agree. Once a person's bottom line is broken, there will be no bottom line, so I hope you can be patient a little longer. The game cannot be set to let me sacrifice NPCs to complete the strategy. There must be something we haven't considered, please give me a little more time!" Le Yuan's statement aroused the approval of a large number of strategy members including Klein and Agil.
"Okay, as the commander of this strategy, I will give you a chance." Asuna was relieved, but before Le Yuan could be happy, she said: "Duel with me. If you win, I will give you Three days to find the hidden strategy conditions, if you lose you will agree to my method."
"Asuna, you..." Kiriko on the side seemed to want to persuade Asuna to stop, but Asuna looked at Le Yuan provocatively. It seemed that the two of them could not fight without a duel.
"Okay, in that case, let's have a basic duel. Let me first say that my level is level 78, but since the sword Sin Fang I carry is also a demon sword level, you won't think I'm bullying you, right?" As a mode of comparing skills, primary duel will automatically stop when one of the two's blood volume is reduced to half, which can also be regarded as a protection for the duelists.
"Huh, level 70, rapier flashing light. Although the level equipment is not as good as yours, I don't think it is as good as you." Asuna opened the main interface and faced Le Yuan and issued an invitation to a junior duel.
On the ground outside the house, Le Yuan looked at Asuna's angry behavior. He opened the toolbar and took out a weapon dropped by Nicholas, the judge, and said: "In this case, I will use this sword - the Holy Dawn. , although it is a spare sword, it is definitely not bad compared to yours." He said and clicked the button to agree to the decision.
A countdown number appeared between the two of them. Asuna watched Le Yuan take out a new sword and said angrily: "Are you looking down on me? If you lose then, don't say that I bullied you!"
"Ding—" The moment the time returned to zero, Asuna took the lead in launching an attack. Asuna, holding a rapier in hand, can be said to be a representative figure of enhanced agility, and her speed can be said to be the best in the game. The distance of ten meters between the two people was just a blink of an eye, and Asuna was less than two meters away.
From the beginning of the duel, Asuna's eyes became extremely cold, as if she regarded this duel as a battle of life and death. She struck without mercy, and the rapier turned into streams of light and hit the vital points of Le Yuan's body.
Facing the dense rain of sword attacks, although Le Yuan's overall attributes were higher, he could barely see the sword's power clearly and could only use the sword in his hand to constantly block Asuna's thrusts. Asuna's current attack speed had exceeded the so-called With the agile specialized type, it can be said that it has completely crossed over to another level.
Le Yuan recognized the rapier skills in Asuna's hands such as "Linear Attack", "Parallel Stab" and "Neutron Impact", but it was extremely difficult to block them. The attack speed was too fast and the skill interval was so short. friend.
"It would be great if my super vision and bullet time were still there." Le Yuan, who had been retreating, had such an idea in his heart for some reason, and this idea could never be stopped once it arose.
Looking at the rapier that kept approaching him, Le Yuan kept thinking silently in his mind: "Slow down, slow down, slow down..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Asuna's rapier attack was really slow at that moment. After coming down, Le Yuan successfully saw the attack revealed, and his body reflexively avoided the attack. The sword in his hand pointed forward and passed across Asuna's waist. Le Yuan's extremely high attributes were successfully knocked out. One-tenth of Asuna's health was lost, but Le Yuan, who was attacked by the rapier at this time, only had more than 70% of his health left.
Asuna jumped back after being hit, looked at her wound and smiled: "It looks like you did a pretty good job, but it's impossible to succeed a second time with such a blind attack." Attacked Le Yuan again.
"Meng? That's definitely not Mong!" Le Yuan denied Asuna's words from the bottom of his heart. Although it just happened for a moment, he could feel that he had successfully used super vision and bullets at that moment. time.
"I can do it, just remind me of the feeling just now." Le Yuan's mind turned completely, and his strong will turned into a powerful motivation at this moment. In Le Yuan's eyes, Asuna's attack was almost threatening. Disappeared, and the attack speed almost dropped to less than half.
Under Asuna's incredible eyes, Le Yuan's body moved slightly to the side, taking one step to the left and one right to dodge her attack. Then Le Yuan's hand moved, and the sword in his hand seemed to move slowly, quickly and accurately. The sword stabbed Asuna in the abdomen.
With just one blow, Asuna's health plummeted like a bungee jump. "Ding dong—" the system prompt page appeared, announcing Le Yuan's victory.
"Sorry, I won this round, so please give me three days, Vice Captain." Le Yuan retracted his sword and said to Asuna.
"Yeah - forget it, I'll give you three days." Asuna turned around and left.
The onlookers were talking about the duel just now. At this time, Tongzi suddenly came to Le Yuan. She said to Le Yuan: "Le Yuan, can I talk to you alone?"
"Tongzi, aren't you going to accompany Asuna? Is it a very important thing?" The love between Tongzi and Asuna is nothing new. Although they have many suitors, they don't know why But they didn't add any color to it.
Tongzi silently took Le Yuan to a corner of the town. Tongzi looked seriously at Le Yuan who was looking around and asked: "Le Yuan, can you answer me seriously?"
"Tongzi, why are you so serious? Tell me, and I will answer your question truthfully." Seeing Tongzi being so serious, the smile on Le Yuan's face couldn't help but shrink a little.
Kiriko took a deep breath, then stared into Le Yuan's eyes and asked, "Are you Kayaba Akihiko?"
"Kayaba Akihiko? Huh? You said I am Kayaba Akihiko?" Le Yuan was fooled by Kiriko's question. How could he, an outsider, be Kayaba Akihiko? Le Yuan quickly waved his hand and said: "How is it possible? How could I be that guy? How did you think of it?"
"But the way you dodge Asuna's attack is really incredible. It's not something you can do with speed. It's like you can clearly see the path of Asuna's attack. But how is it possible? How can it be possible with human eyes? Did you see Asuna's rapier attack clearly?" Tongzi said to Le Yuan.
Le Yuan didn't know how to explain to Tongzi what had just happened. He could only hold Tongzi's shoulders with both hands and assure her: "Tongzi, no matter what, I can only say that I can't be that guy from Kayaba Akihiko. In the situation just now, it would be better if my nerve reaction speed is super-normal."
"The reaction speed is beyond ordinary people??" Tongzi recited Le Yuan's explanation silently, and then suddenly spit out a word from his mouth that shocked Le Yuan: "... Er-sword style?"
"You, how do you know this? I shouldn't have told anyone about this, right?" Le Yuan looked at Kiriko in surprise. As the unique skill of the "brave" arranged by Kayaba Akihiko, only one person can possess the two-sword style. , and he didn't tell anyone, but now Tongzi just happened to know.
"Haha, this, I accidentally got the news from an NPC. I didn't expect it to actually exist." Tongzi explained forcefully while rubbing her head, then turned to Le Yuan and said, "Sorry to bother you, Today’s affairs must be kept secret!”
After saying that, Tongzi waved and left here, leaving Le Yuan alone who was deep in thought. The task prompt for the boss on the fifty-sixth floor was discovered by Asuna who was secretly sad that day.
