After more than half a year, Le Yuan once again returned to the starting town on the first floor. Almost a year had passed since his last return. When he took Yui into this town, he couldn't help but think of the first time. The scene of stepping out of this town for the first time.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Yui on the side looked at Le Yuan staring blankly at the empty street, and couldn't help but pulled Le Yuan's arm and asked.
Le Yuan came back to his senses, touched Yui's head, shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past, little Yui, you will see many friends soon!"
Yui looked at Le Yuan's smiling face and laughed, and at the same time asked doubtfully: "Partner?"
Le Yuan said as he pulled Yui towards the cathedral in the starting town: "Well, Dad has a very important thing to do here. Before that, I want a friend here to take care of you. How about it?"
Yui lowered her head and said nothing. Soon Kaiyuan came to the cathedral on the first floor and saw Yuki, whom she hadn't seen for a while.
Fortunately, I was very happy to see Le Yuan. Later, I was shocked when Yui called Le Yuan "dad". It was not until Le Yuan explained that Yui had lost her memory that she looked at Yui with love and promised that Yui would be happy. Yuan takes good care of her.
Le Yuan left the church and came to the Black Iron Palace, the largest building in the town of Beginning. As soon as he stepped into the square in front of the Black Iron Palace, he could see countless names engraved on the huge black stone tablets, some of which had already been Those who were crossed out were the players who had permanently retired from SAO.
Le Yuan stopped and looked at this huge monument for a minute, then walked around it and continued to move forward. Le Yuan did not continue walking into the Black Iron Palace, but took a detour behind the Black Iron Palace and came to the descending stairs hidden near the water surface of the ditch.
"It's such an unpleasant place." Looking at the dark passage, Le Yuan couldn't help but think of the scene when he entered for the first and only time in the past. After getting the key, he couldn't wait to open the passage. Entered the underground maze.
But just a few minutes after entering, he escaped from the maze in great embarrassment. At that time, his level reached level 62. It can be said that he could safely level up in the frontline maze at that time. Who knew he would encounter something The first group of monsters were swamp rot frogs with level 60+. Le Yuan fought his way back to the ground despite being attacked by several poisons. That was the only time he was chased by ordinary monsters.
Le Yuan once again entered the underground maze, "Swish, swish, swish -" When he had just entered less than fifty meters, three groups of fifteen swamp rot frogs appeared.
Le Yuan pulled out his sinful fangs and looked at these long-lost monsters coldly and said: "Long time no see. The warm reception last time was something I will never forget. This time, let me, a level 95 swordsman, repay you!"
As he spoke, Le Yuan rushed into the crowd of monsters with his sword. With a level advantage of more than 30 levels and a magic sword that had been strengthened to level 40+, it was not a fight between equals at all. It was just a fight. This battle It only lasted less than a minute and ended with the destruction of all monsters.
As Le Yuan continued to deepen, the monsters began to transform from swamp rot frogs and sword fighting fishmen, which were mainly aquatic creatures, to undead creatures such as skeleton swordsmen, rotten corpses, and ghosts, which were mainly undead.
Le Yuan's personal advancement lasted for nearly an hour. He opened the map and looked at it again and again, only to realize that he had not reached the halfway point of the maze.
In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Le Yuan entered the nearest safe zone and began to rest.
After taking a sip of water, Le Yuan looked at the dim maze and sighed: "As expected, it is a place that until now has been regarded as a forbidden area by that guy Dilbert. It is really not accessible to ordinary people."
After Le Yuan completed his mission and opened the maze, he handed it over to the Ngrant Alliance Army who was responsible for guarding the Black Iron Palace Prison, and then handed it over to Dilbert after the Ngrant Alliance Army fell apart. , and Diavel entrusted it to Kibaou.
Speaking of Kibaou, I have to say that he does have a way. Although he is not active on the front line of the strategy battle, he and his team manage the first level in an orderly manner, giving the strategy team a relatively stable rear area.
Of course, Kibaou is not a person who doesn't strive for improvement. In order to get closer to the level of the strategy battle, he often organizes players to go to the underground maze for leveling. Unfortunately, the difficulty of the underground maze is beyond his expectation. As the floors increase, With the breakthrough, the difficulty of the underground labyrinth continues to increase. Until now, only a corner of the labyrinth has been explored, and not even half of the area drawn on the map given by Heathcliff has been reached.
After resting, Le Yuan continued to move forward. When he came to a place less than one kilometer away from his destination, what stood in front of him was a monster skeleton swordsman with a level of over 80.
"Pfft—" One blow knocked a skeletal swordsman away, and the sword held in the other hand hurriedly raised the sword to block the attack from the other side. "Clang—".
When he arrived here, Le Yuan had already begun to draw his second sword. The Skeleton Swordsman's AI could be said to be no worse than that of ordinary players, and the sword skills in his hands seemed to have been refined over time. Once Le Yuan moved too much, , the attacks kept coming like a storm.
Having just blocked a skeleton swordsman on the right, the skeleton swordsman who was knocked away had already stood up. The sword in his hand glowed red. He pulled his arms back and squatted down, making a charging posture.
"That's an angry impact!" As a swordsman who has been fighting monsters for so long, he knew the skill he wanted to use the moment the skeleton swordsman took a stance, and before he could finish dealing with the skeleton at hand Swordsman, an attack not far away has been launched.
"Horizontal four-way slash!" Facing the attack not far away, Le Yuan used four consecutive attacks in the horizontal direction. Two attacks solved the stalemate of the skeleton swordsman, and then used all the remaining attacks to suppress the oncoming sword. superior.
"Ding-" One of the Skeleton Swordsman's arms was bounced away, and his body lost balance. Le Yuan immediately smashed it to pieces with a "fatal blow" with the remaining sword.
More than three hours after entering the underground maze, Le Yuan had arrived at a place less than three hundred meters away from the target location. After running towards the light source for a few seconds on the passage that curved to the right, he finally saw a small room safe area in front of the big intersection. When Le Yuan looked at the other side of the intersection, he found a yellow arrow pointing at it. In another room, that was his target this time.
Looking at the destination that was very close at hand, Le Yuan did not rush there. Instead, he turned on his vigilance, used his enemy detection skills at full power, and continued to search the empty passage.
His eyes kept scanning the area in front of him, but his enemy-seeking skills showed no response at all. Normally, this meant that there was no danger in this area and was a safe sign, but this just made Le Yuan extremely vigilant.
It can be said that Heathcliff's mission has not been difficult at all until now. Any strategy player who has reached his level can basically reach this step. It is just a matter of good or bad condition.
The real difficulty of the mission lies entirely in this last 100-meter passage. If we cannot break through, everything ahead will be in vain.
Le Yuan gritted his teeth and stepped into the passage, approaching bit by bit. After walking for more than twenty meters, the entire passage was still quiet, "Ta, Ta, Ta..." The only sound of Le Yuan's footsteps was in the dim passage.
Just when Le Yuan thought he could move on, the enemy-seeking skill on one side of the camera suddenly spotted a yellow arrow flashing from his right rear. Le Yuan hurriedly turned around and saw a huge black figure suddenly emerging from the dim passage. Appeared, half of its body slowly penetrated from the stone wall, and the huge black scythe in its hand was swung towards Le Yuan with a strong wind.
Le Yuan immediately stepped back. The giant scythe that had lost its target swept across the ground, bringing up a burst of gravel, making a sharp metallic sound and a large number of sparks. The black shadow slowly emerged from the wall, a humanoid Western-style death masked in a tattered black robe. In addition to the arms stretched out from the black robe and two red eyes flashing from the hat, the entire body was shrouded in deep darkness. He was standing there, exuding this ominous aura.
Le Yuan's enemy-seeking skill attempted to discover some useful information, but except for the name of the Scythe of Destiny on the monster's head, all other information was unknown.
"Tsk, is there a BOSS level monster, and is it five levels higher than me?" Le Yuan's detection skill can know information about ordinary monsters that are no more than level 10 and level 5 BOSS, but now there is no response at all, and he can only It means that the level of the Scythe of Destiny in front of you is above level 100.
As a game, it is not impossible to challenge the BOSS alone. Under normal circumstances, it is not impossible for him to challenge a floor BOSS that is twenty levels lower than him, but for this one, Le Yuan swallowed his saliva and made such a choice...
He turned his back to the Scythe of Destiny, and then ran with all his strength towards the destination less than a hundred meters away. His mission this time was just to reach the designated place. There was no requirement to kill the monster, so he reached the designated place. Finally, use the transfer crystal and everything will be over.
Le Yuan's body disappeared from the Scythe of Destiny in an instant, and he ran toward the control room ahead at a terrifying speed. The Scythe of Destiny's blood-red eyes rolled, and its entire body merged into the wall. Le Yuan's locked shoulders moved quickly from Le Yuan's perspective, and he had already run in front of Le Yuan when he was still ten meters away from the room.
The Scythe of Destiny holding a giant scythe once again stood in front of Le Yuan, "Whoa—" Facing Le Yuan who was still sprinting, the Scythe of Destiny swung the giant scythe in his hand quickly and hard, "Clang—" Le Yuan Yuan only had time to put his hands in front of his shoulders before his whole body was blown away by an unstoppable force.
"Plop—" Le Yuan flew five meters away and fell hard to the ground. The blood bar on his head fell to a third of the way under the blow.
Le Yuan stood up unsteadily, looked at the faceless Scythe of Destiny in front of him and said, "You are really entangled, aren't you forcing me to cheat by doing this?"
This time Le Yuan put the sword in his hand back on his back, and then ran towards the control room quickly, as if he was going to run to the control room in one go.
Facing Le Yuan who was approaching him, the giant scythe in the hand of the Scythe of Destiny struck again, "Boom -" The ground was completely shattered by this blow, but it did not focus on Le Yuan. Le Yuan made a sliding shovel and dodged dangerously. He passed by, then immediately stood up and continued to move forward, but the black shadow had already enveloped him, and the second blow of the Scythe of Destiny was ready to strike.
Just when the cold giant scythe was about to swing down, Le Yuan used a single thrust. As a physical thrust technique, although the thrust distance was not long, it successfully led Le Yuan to the destination, which was only six or seven meters away. meters, but at this time the skill stiffness also came into play, and Le Yuan was fixed there.
"Buzz--" The third blow of the Scythe of Destiny was almost impossible to miss against the immobile Le Yuan. However, when the giant scythe was about to kill Le Yuan, Le Yuan's body suddenly disappeared.
