Chapter 607 The Fatal-scythe (Special Boss)
According to Yuriel, Xinka is trapped in the central underground labyrinth of the Town of Beginning, and Xinka should be at the deepest part of it.
Xiaolin also knows this maze.
The entrance to the maze is near the Black Iron Palace, and this maze is the type that will be opened as the upper-level strategy progresses. Logically speaking, there are many rare items that only appear once in the unbroken maze, so I should be able to make a lot of money from this.
But at the grassroots level, the difficulty of that maze is very high. The basic monsters alone are at the 60th level. Even if all the members of the Axis Cult join forces, it would be difficult.
After considering that the effort was not proportional to the reward, Kobayashi and his friends decisively decided to give up.
I didn't expect that King Ya had set his sights on that place.
"Also, there is one more thing that must be noted. I heard from the players who participated in the advance team that a huge boss-level monster was seen deep in the maze."
"Boss level? Okay, then let me find a few people to help."
Kobayashi's fingers kept sliding down the menu.
His current level is only 82, and it is already difficult to clear a level 60 maze. Add to that the huge boss-level monsters, and it is simply impossible for the two of them to do it alone.
Of course, Aqua and Yui cannot go to the labyrinth, as they have been asked to return to Axis Church.
but it does not matter.
He is best at shaking people.
Soon, several figures appeared in the transfer square on the first floor.
Kirito, Asuna, Alice, Ryuu, Darkness, Claire, and Rain. In short, he called all the reliable players over.
"Well, these seven people should be enough."
“Ha…hahaha…”
Yuriel blinked.
More than enough, the average level of the players present is level 80, plus all of them are members of the strategy team. Isn't it more than enough to challenge a level 60 maze?
"Hey, Kirito, Asuna, you two are here."
"Xiaolin! Is the new maze you mentioned real?"
"of course!"
Kirito was particularly fascinated by Aincrad, and when he heard about the unknown labyrinth, he agreed to help without hesitation. Asuna also came without hesitation after asking the leader of the Knights of the Blood. After all, it was an unknown labyrinth, and everyone was very concerned.
"I wanted to find more people, but too many people would easily alert Kiba. I'm sorry, I feel bad for only knowing the members of the raiders."
"……what?!"
Yuriel didn't know for a moment if this was Versailles or if she was truly sorry.
"Seven people? But it shouldn't be a problem."
"No, we can't be careless."
Asuna said seriously, "Although it's only a level 60 maze, it's an unknown area. No one knows what accidents might happen, so you must be extremely careful! You must carry healing crystals and transfer crystals with you!"
As expected of a master of strategies, he never takes things lightly, no matter what level the maze is.
During this time of conversation, a huge building shining with black light appeared on the opposite side of the street ahead. It was the Black Iron Palace, the largest facility in the Town of Origin.
After entering the gate, a square appeared in front of us with a list of all players - the Monument of Life. Although anyone can enter freely, the areas extending deeper into the square are almost all occupied by the army.
Yuriel did not go to the main entrance of the palace, but went around to the back.
The towering city walls and deep ditches surrounding them stretched endlessly as if to repel invaders; no one passed through them at all.
After walking for a few minutes, Yuriel stopped at a staircase that descended from the road to the surface of the ditch. Upon closer inspection, she saw an entrance to a dark road in the stone wall on the right side of the front of the staircase.
"From here, enter the palace's sewer and you will reach the entrance to the maze. It's a bit dark and narrow inside..."
Before she could finish, everyone had already skillfully taken out the crystal chandeliers.
The members of the strategy team are all experienced and have gone through all kinds of mazes, so the prop column is filled with various emergency items. For example, Xinka's name has not been crossed out yet because of his rich experience.
"Let's proceed cautiously."
Xiaolin took the lead and walked in front.
The level 60 maze left absolutely no room for anyone else to perform. With the perfect cooperation between Xiaolin and Ryuzi, no matter if it was a giant frog or a monster like a crayfish, they were all easily destroyed by the two.
Yuriel was stunned as she watched the two people's overwhelming battle.
This scene must be very different from the battle she knew, but apart from Xiaolin, everyone present could do this.
The original tension disappeared in an instant.
Several dozen minutes had passed since we entered the maze made of black stones from the dark and humid sewer. Although it was deeper and wider than expected, and there were many monsters, we didn't feel tired because we were all very strong.
"Um... I'm really sorry, I didn't do anything at all."
"It's okay, Miss Yuriel!"
Seeing Alice's unusually bright smile even in the sewer, Yuriel felt even more ashamed and shrank her neck.
The group moved on.
Yuriel displayed the map in shared window mode, and a friend's light dot representing Xinka's current location was displayed on it. Because there was no map of the entire maze, the road to the light dot was blank, but about 70% of the distance had been filled.
"Xinka's position has not moved for a few days, so he should be in the safe zone. As long as we can get there, we can use the crystal to escape... Sorry, I need your help again."
"It doesn't matter. We got the reward anyway."
Kirito held a ball of still-throbbing meat in his hands, with the words "Carrion-eating Toad's Meat" displayed on it, which scared Asuna so much that she screamed, and at the same time deleted the toad meat that fell from the prop bar.
"Ahh, what a waste."
Xiaolin feels a little sorry.
He hadn't eaten the toad meat in "Mo Qing" for a long time. This time he got a lot of toad meat. He would ask a chef to fry it when he got back and savor it.
"Hurry up, keep going!"
Asuna didn't want to have any more messy things appear in the prop column, so she quickened her pace.
When they first entered the maze, the monsters were mainly aquatic creatures, but as they went down the floors, they gradually changed into scary monsters such as zombies and ghosts. Although Yuriel was terrified, the members of the strategy team slaughtered the enemies that appeared one after another without any hesitation.
Normally it is considered impolite for high-level players to cause trouble in a maze area of a lower level than themselves, but this time there is no one else around so there is no need to worry. If there is enough time, I can even take them to level up, but the top priority right now is to rescue Xinka.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
The group moved forward at a steady pace.
They would have been able to go even faster if there was no map forcing them to be constantly alert to their surroundings.
Zooming in on the current location marked on the map and the distance between it and the safe area where Xinka was, after countless black skeleton swordsmen were swept away, they finally saw a passage emitting warm light.
“It’s a safe area.”
Yuriel's face lit up with joy.
Kirito also used the search skill and found a green player inside.
"It's Sinka!"
As if she could no longer bear it, Yuriel screamed and ran over with her metal armor clacking, and the people behind her hurriedly followed.
After running towards the light source for a few seconds on the right curve, I finally saw a small room in front of the big intersection. The room was filled with light that was dazzling to eyes accustomed to darkness, and a man was standing at the entrance. Although his face could not be seen clearly due to the backlight, he was waving his arms fiercely.
"Yuriel!"
After confirming who was coming, the man called out to Mencius loudly, and Yuriel also waved her left hand and quickened her running pace.
"You can't come over here! Over there in the passage...!"
Xinka was still shouting something, but Yuriel could no longer hear him and just ran straight into the room.
At this moment, a few meters in front of the room, at the right corner of another road that intersected the passage the three people were running at right angles, a yellow arrow suddenly appeared with the words [The Fatal-scythe] written on it.
The definite article added before the proper noun meaning the sickle of fate is the proof of the boss monster.
"No! Miss Yuriel, come back soon!"
Asuna shouted anxiously.
The yellow arrow moved rapidly to the left, gradually approaching the intersection. If it continued like this, it would hit Yuriel at the intersection in just a few seconds.
At this critical moment, Kobayashi's hands began to tremble.
Chains and silk threads were launched simultaneously.
The chain blocked the oncoming yellow arrows, and the silk thread tied around Yuriel's waist and pulled hard, quickly making them move apart.
The huge black shadow made a rumbling sound that shook the ground, and cut across the group of people who had stopped at the intersection with emergency brakes that could have burned the air. The yellow arrow rushed into the passage on the left and moved about ten meters before stopping.
The invisible monster slowly changed direction, and it seemed as if it was about to charge forward again.
"Darkness! Rain!"
"give it to me!"
"Roger that!"
The collision just now made Xiaolin realize that this boss monster is known for its strength, so he let Darkness and Rain, who are tanks, stop it, Xiaolin will control it, and then Kirito, Asuna and Alice will launch an attack from the side.
Clang————!
A harsh friction sound hit the shield fiercely, and after the yellow light gradually dissipated, the appearance of the leader appeared in front of everyone.
In a nutshell, it is the god of death.
The depth of the hat and the arms that stretched out from the sleeves were all entangled with a restless black aura. The face that was plunged into darkness was embedded with scarlet eyes. He was two and a half meters tall but was floating in the air, overlooking them. In his right hand, he held a long and large sickle, and drops of red sticky water kept dripping from the ferocious curved blade.
The Grim Reaper rolled his eyes and stared at them.
At this moment, Yuriel's heart seemed to be gripped by pure fear, and a chill ran through her entire body.
"This guy should be level ninety."
“…Wha, what?!”
Hearing Kirito say that, Asuna took a deep breath.
They have only reached the 70th floor now. According to the rule that each floor must be raised by 10 levels to be successfully conquered, the level 90 Grim Reaper in front of them must be conquered at level 100, and the entire conquering team must go together to conquer it.
"Don't panic, haven't we encountered this situation many times?"
"That's right. Didn't we pass the fifth floor easily?"
"It's just a level 90 BOSS..."
Although they said so, in fact, everyone was unsure. After all, the pressure brought by a level 5 BOSS and a level 90 BOSS were completely different.
however--
"Liu Zi, let's go."
"Yes."
Krillin's chain tied Ryuzi's slender waist, and the two rushed towards the Grim Reaper, followed closely by Alice. After seeing this, Kirito and Asuna gritted their teeth and rushed forward too.
Now they have two tanks, plus Krillin and Kirito who uses two swords, Alice and Asuna are also powerful players.
It’s worth challenging this boss monster!
At this time, the Grim Reaper slowly swung his scythe, emitting miasma from the hem of his robe, and began to charge forward with great force.
"Darkness!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
The perverted female knight went forward with a flushed face.
Darkness, who had strengthened her defense, was also defeated by the fierce blow.
At this time, Xiaolin had already approached the BOSS and threw Liu Zi into the air. The doll lady turned over gracefully in the air, and the sickle in her hand burst out with shining purple light, as if she wanted to compete with the death boss monster to see whose skills were stronger. She slashed the BOSS's neck fiercely.
Weakness attack!
There was a burst of bright light and fragments, indicating that Liu Zi's attack was effective and successful, but the crowd did not feel happy or cheering.
Just because the health value dropped too low.
You should know that in the BOSS battle, weak point strike is one of the means for players to reduce the BOSS's health. Many players use this trick to drastically reduce the BOSS's health before the BOSS enters the second stage. However, the Grim Reaper's health only dropped a little.
"Don't be discouraged! The fact that the attack wasn't invalidated means that it's still possible to break the defense, which is already very good!"
Xiaolin pulled down the stiff Liu Zi in mid-air, then threw her out again, and Liu Zi's sickle fell on the back of the Grim Reaper again.
Two hits!
After hitting the weak points one after another, the health of the Grim Reaper dropped a little again. He proved with his actions that the Grim Reaper in front of him was not invincible.
Kirito, Asuna and the others also regained their confidence.
"Okay! I was planning to keep this trick for a while, but now... let me show you!"
As he spoke, another chain appeared in Kobayashi's left hand and trapped Kirito.
"Get ready, Kirito! Next, you're going to take off!"
"……Aha?!"
Kirito, who had no time to react, was thrown into the air by Krillin. The excellent position allowed this dual-sword player with the strongest attack power to subconsciously swing his two swords.
Weakness attack!
The combo reduced the Death God's health a little more, and then he was pulled down, but when he came down, Asuna was thrown into the air again, and the rapier continued to cause damage to the Death God's weak points.
“This, this is…!”
"Come on! I can switch with everyone, which means the frequency of attack will be twice as fast as before! With my control, your attacks will be more comfortable and smoother!"
Kobayashi was like an acrobatic clown throwing bottles, constantly throwing the four "bottles" of Kirito, Asuna, Alice, and Ryuzu into the air. They were always able to hit the highest damage value at the most appropriate position.
Whenever the Grim Reaper wanted to turn around and attack Xiaolin, the two tanks...Darkness and Rain would draw the hatred away.
Just like that, under high frequency attacks.
Two hours later Death was defeated!
