I like traveling the most

Not only Kirito, other players were also shocked by Darkness's behavior.

You have to know that this is a real death game. No one can risk their life to block damage for others, but there is such a person in the game, even in the boss battle.

"Ms. Darkness, are you okay?"

Asuna was very nervous.

Apart from Alice who saved her and Aqua who enlightened her, Darkness cared about her the most. Asuna didn't want this gentle and considerate big sister to die here.

"It's okay, Darkness is just like that."

Meihui waved her hand.

As a companion in another world, of course she knew the habits of her own perverted female knight, and was not surprised by her behavior.

Instead of caring about Darkness, the little loli stared at the dog-headed boss with shining eyes. She was very upset now. Why didn't this game have the concept of magic? Otherwise, wouldn't this be a good target to show the power of explosive magic?

Asuna was puzzled and angry about Huihui's indifferent attitude, but when she saw that Sato Kazuma, Kobayashi and others were also helpless, this normal person was as dumbfounded as Kirito.

What puzzled her even more was why Darkness didn't use a shield to defend, but used her body to bear the damage? But she still ran over and cared about the other party's safety.

After handing Darkness the potion, Kobayashi came to Diabel's side, and together with other players who woke up from the dizziness, dragged him out of the BOSS's attack range.

Really dragged him out.

This handsome player who claimed to be a knight had just stepped on the edge of death and almost couldn't come back. Now his legs were weak and his face was full of fear.

Kobayashi greeted him: "Are you okay? I originally wanted to let you experience life in another world, but I thought about it and let it go. By the way, you won't blame me, right?"

"How could it be? It's too late to thank you."

Diabel thought Kobayashi was telling a cold joke, but he didn't know that Kobayashi was serious just now.

"Oh right! Miss Darkness..."

"Although she almost died just now, she's still alive and kicking."

"Really? That's a relief."

Kobayashi looked at the perverted female knight who had gotten up again and wanted to experience being beaten by the boss again but was desperately stopped by her companions, and he exhaled a sigh of relief.

"That's it. Leave it to me next, okay?"

"...Please, Mr. Kobayashi."

Diabel was a little unwilling.

But now his legs were weak because of fear, which might affect his own judgment. In addition, everyone was stunned and unable to react in time due to the sudden accident just now. Maybe Kobayashi is the only one who can command everyone now. Although it's a pity that he can't get the LA (Last Attack) reward, he hopes that everyone will survive more than the boss reward.

"Okay, it's my turn next."

Kobayashi shook his arms.

He didn't grab the command right just now for other reasons. The players who gathered to defeat the boss were Diabel, so even if Kobayashi gave the command, no one would listen, and everyone might be in a mess because of the command right.

But now no one else is needed.

"——Everyone, retreat!"

Xiao Lin suddenly yelled, awakening the players who were still immersed in the twists and turns of the situation just now.

"Everyone retreat to the exit! As long as you don't surround the BOSS, it will not use ultra-wide-range attacks! Also, don't forget the dog-headed guards, lead them away!"

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, the players retreated one after another.

In the center of the huge venue, only Xiao Lin was alone facing the dog-headed lord.

"Hey, hey, hey, although you say that, you retreated too quickly."

Somehow, he saw Sato Kazuma and others who sold him out.

"What should I do? I feel a little uneasy facing the BOSS alone. If someone can help me at this time..."

At this time, Xiao Lin paused slightly, and a figure stuck to his back.

The familiar venomous tongue followed.

"If you are afraid, don't act so arrogantly. You are no different from Lord Darkness now. I seem to have heard Lord Kobayashi's complaints. If you really want to ask, I can help you."

"Ryuko. I feel relieved to have you here. You will help me, right?"

"...Of course. I am your sword, I am your shield, I am your--"

"The most trusted companion."

He interrupted the maid's words.

Ryuko's mouth corners slightly raised, which is hard to see on the face of the puppet maid, but it also indirectly shows that she is in a good mood.

"I didn't expect that I would have someone else fighting, and I would fall in love on the battlefield."

"What are you talking about, Lord Kobayashi?"

"No, nothing."

Kobayashi shook his head.

After a pause, the index and middle fingers of his right hand slid down the menu bar, and then he put away the small round shield and small scimitar, and then materialized two more props.

The light dissipated, and a lavender iron chain was wrapped around his right wrist, and his left hand was a ball of silk thread. These are the tools that Kobayashi asked Argo to prepare.

——Tangled chain and fishing line.

Ready!

“Come on! It’s show time!”

Xiaolin held Liu Zi's right hand with his left hand, and their fingers were interlocked. After the two looked at each other, they nodded and took a step forward at the same time, and then the speed kept increasing, with exactly the same frequency.

Synchronization rate, 400%!

The master and servant rushed towards the BOSS quickly.

The Kobold Lord originally held the samurai sword with both hands, but at this time he put down his left hand and prepared to put the sword on the left waist. Then the samurai sword also lit up green, which represented the special effect of the skill guidance action being completed.

When the big straight sword chopped at a speed invisible to the naked eye, Xiaolin swung his right hand and threw Liu Zi into the sky, and he slid past the Kobold's block.

Xiaolin, who dodged the sword-drawing slash, threw the iron chain wrapped around his wrist to its right leg during the interval of the BOSS skill stiffness, and it was wrapped around the ankle of the Kobold Lord in a few seconds. Then he pulled hard-

No effect.

"Tsk."

Xiaolin was unhappy and shocked.

Even if the strength is equal, in reality, even if the attack just now cannot pull the Kobold Lord down, it can at least make him stagger. But the judgment standard in the game is the strength of both parties. Xiaolin's level is obviously weaker, so he can't affect him.

This is the limitation of the game.

But it doesn't matter. Xiaolin is just covering, and there is someone else who really causes damage.

"——Liu Zi!"

While shouting, Liu Zi, who was thrown into the air, stepped on the ceiling and accelerated twice with the help of the reaction force, falling straight down from above, and the sickle in her hand also lit up a deep purple light, and slashed the neck of the Kobold Lord fiercely.

In reality, the puppet maid hides a large sickle in her skirt, and it is more convenient to use the sickle in the game.

"Woo oh oh ————"

The Kobold Lord wailed in pain, and his health bar dropped a small grid.

In the game, there is a saying of weak point attack, and just now the maid hit the weakness of the BOSS beautifully, causing a lot of damage.

It's not over yet!

After that, the two met in mid-air. This time, Liu Zi sent Xiao Lin to the sky. In the floating space, Xiao Lin's left hand swung out the silk thread, which was wrapped around the arm and neck of the dog-headed lord, making it unable to move again. Liu Zi saw the opportunity, and the sickle with light slashed upwards, fiercely slashing at his defenseless chest.

Then the master and servant exchanged again, neck, back, chest, armpits, Xiao Lin used the silk thread in his left hand and the iron chain in his right hand to trap the BOSS while helping Liu Zi to move quickly, and the attack continued to fall on the dog-headed lord.

The two light-footed people were like butterflies, spinning and jumping around the BOSS with their eyes closed. Not only did they cause considerable damage to the dog-headed lord every time, but the BOSS couldn't touch them at all!

"What is that?"

"What a messy attack method..."

"It's too exaggerated!"

The players who were fighting the BOSS together were shocked by Xiao Lin and Liu Zi's gorgeous performance, and they stood there and looked at them stupidly.

Kirito was also shocked.

The fighting style of the master and servant was completely out of the system, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a crooked way.

But why...

Why was it so gorgeous that people were intoxicated?

When they stopped their actions involuntarily, Sato Kazuma was the first to lose his temper.

"Hey! You guys, now is not the time to watch the show! There are still kobold soldiers, hurry up and help ah ah ah————"

He was the most aggrieved one.

In reality, he was beaten to death by kobold soldiers, and he still couldn't beat the kobold guards in the game, and this was the main reason why he was weak the moment he saw the kobold lord.

The players who were awakened by Sato Kazuma came back to their senses and focused on the battle with the kobold guards. However, no matter how focused they were, their attention was still involuntarily attracted to the master and servant in the center of the room.

"Roar, roar, roar————"

Perhaps because of being hit repeatedly, the BOSS roared fiercely and gradually went crazy. Its huge body sank down, and then it used all its strength to jump vertically. On the jumping track, the samurai sword and its body were like a wound-up spring.

This is a carousel with all-round attacks, and the target is Liu Zi who can't move in mid-air!

However——

"I won't give you a chance!"

Xiao Lin threw out the silk threads in his left hand, wrapped them around the maid's slender waist, and pulled her back to get her out of the attack range of the BOSS. Liu Zi also followed the force and threw herself into Xiao Lin's arms.

Talking about love in the battle...

The onlookers were jealous.

Fortunately, SAO is not a teammate immune to damage, otherwise it really can't use this trick if it can't be touched.

It can contain the BOSS, create an output environment for Liu Zi, and save Liu Zi in critical moments. On the surface, Xiaolin and the assistant are almost the same, but if you regard Liu Zi as a weapon, you will find that the real controller is Xiaolin, who controls Liu Zi like a puppeteer.

When the Kobold Lord raised the big straight knife and prepared to launch the stabbing skill, Xiaolin and Liu Zi looked at each other and ran to the left and right respectively.

Because the skill is a single straight skill, it can only choose one target. And because Xiaolin never attacks, the target it chooses is Liu Zi, who attracts a lot of hatred.

At the moment when the BOSS skill is about to be launched, Xiaolin attacked brazenly, and the purple chain wrapped around its wrist, and pulled it out fiercely, immediately disrupting the BOSS's attack route.

This is also one of the limitations of SAO.

Just refer to Asuna and you will know that after entering the skill guide after taking a pose, it cannot be interrupted no matter what happens.

Xiaolin took a fancy to this and interfered when the skill was activated.

Outstanding effect!

And I don't know if it was because the skill was interrupted and it was forced into a state of immobilization. The chain wrapped around Xiaolin's wrist this time glowed brightly, which was a sign of a knowing blow. At the same time, the kobold lord was unsteady and staggered, and his burly body fell forward. There was an explosion of light and sound, and the HP value of the kobold lord fixedly displayed above the line of sight began to decrease rapidly.

"Guluwu!"

The kobold groaned and waved his arms and legs to stand up. This is an abnormal state unique to humanoid monsters, falling over!

The judgment was successful!

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. The thread in his left hand shoots towards the puppet maid on the other side.

"Liu Zi!"

Following the pull of the force, Liu Zi continued to accelerate after running, and a deep purple light appeared on the sickle again.

"Hooooooh!!!"

When Liu Zi's scythe continuously scratched the body of the kobold lord, causing a lot of damage, while the BOSS's health gradually decreased and flashed red, its roar became more and more intense.

Great, it’s going to work!

The final victory in this BOSS battle belongs to them! This is the consensus of everyone, even Xiao Lin thinks so, but——

The kobold lord propped up his body. It was not stunned or bounced away, so it immediately entered into preparations for a vertical jump. At this time, it still had 3% of its health left!

Xiao Lin's eyes narrowed.

"Liu Zi, danger!"

"snort!"

Liu Zi did not retreat, but continued to pursue the victory. Probably because he judged that he could completely eliminate the kobold lord before he activated his skills.

But the maid missed one point.

The current version of her, both in terms of strength and speed, is far inferior to her in reality.

The maid lady's scythe fell on the kobold lord first, but it only caused 2% of the damage. The last 1% was left, but it was too late.

"Hooh oh oh——"

Liu Zi realized that her damage was not enough, so she wanted to turn over in mid-air and adjust her posture to use skills. Just like Diabell, she wanted to take advantage of the system's skill judgment.

However, just when she was about to use the final blow to complete the crusade, the kobold lord had already adjusted his posture first, and then slammed into her thin body. The speed was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye. Liu Zi was hit in the blink of an eye. Fly.

Most of the games are based on strength. As the BOSS, the kobold lord is naturally much stronger than a single player, not to mention that Liu Zi is agile in order to match Xiaolin's main attributes.

The puppet maid hit the surrounding pillars and then fell to the ground. Her health dropped rapidly and did not stop until she turned red.

"What?!"

Xiao Lin had no time to be shocked.

He wanted to use the silk thread to pull Liu Zi back to complete the final blow, but she flew too far and the silk thread could not reach her. So I thought of tying the kobold lord with chains and try again, but in such an opening, the kobold lord's skills were fully charged, and the chains tied to his body were easily broken free.

As mentioned before, in SAO, when you take a pose and enter the skill guide, it cannot be interrupted no matter what happens. Xiao Lin, who failed the strength test, could only watch the kobold lord jump up.

Or the ultra-wide range skill [Spin]!

If used, not only him, but also the surrounding players will be affected!

Xiaolin slid down the index and middle fingers of his right hand, trying to switch out the small buckler and the small scimitar, but it seemed that he was too late in time.

At this moment, he saw a black figure running towards the BOSS.

Seeing that figure, Xiao Lin was slightly startled, but soon felt relieved. Instead of changing the weapon, he swung the silk thread in his left hand around his waist and threw it upwards, allowing him to approach the BOSS at a very fast speed. At the same time, he shouted at the figure:

"The final blow is yours, Kirito!"

The kobold lord looked at Kirito who was chasing from the ground and seemed to sneer with his nose. Kirito also gave a ferocious smile in return, and then quickly turned his wrist over.

"Drink ah ah ah ——"

The sword bounced upward as Kirito roared with all his strength, the blade formed a V-shaped trajectory with the previous slash, and was finally pulled out from the kobold lord's left shoulder.

This is a combo of two swords with one hand [Arc Slash]!

The kobold lord's huge body suddenly lost strength, and then fell backwards. The wolf-like face faced the ceiling, and at the same time it let out a slight and sharp roar. Its body began to make shattering sounds and many cracks appeared.

BOSS let go of his hands, and the katana rolled to the floor.

The next moment, the body of Aincrad's first-level BOSS [Kobold Lord Irfangu] turned into countless glass fragments and scattered in all directions.

So far, the first level has been successfully passed!
