I like traveling the most

Fatal-scythe (special boss)

According to Yuriel, Xinka is trapped in the central underground maze of the town of origin, and Xinka should be in 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 opens as the upper-level strategy progresses. Logically speaking, there are many rare items that only appear once in the unbroken maze, and it should be possible to make a lot of money from this.

But at the grassroots level, the difficulty of that maze is very high. The basic configuration monsters alone are about the level of the 60th floor. Even if all the members of the Axis Cult go into battle together, it is still very difficult.

After considering that the effort is not proportional to the reward, Xiaolin and his team decisively chose to give up.

Unexpectedly, the King of Kiba set his sights on that place.

"Also, there is one more thing that must be noted. This is what I heard from the players who participated in the advance team. In the depths of the maze... a giant boss-level monster was seen."

"Boss-level? Okay, then let me find a few people to help."

Kobayashi's fingers kept sliding down the menu.

He is only level 82 now. It is already difficult to pass the level 60 maze. Add to that the giant boss-level monster, and it is impossible for the two of them alone.

Aqua and Yui certainly can't go to the maze. They have been asked to return to Akusis Church.

But it doesn't matter.

He is best at calling people.

Soon, several figures appeared in the transfer square on the first floor.

Kirito, Asuna, Alice, Ryuu, Darkness, Kureya, and Rain. In short, he called all the reliable players.

"Well, these seven people should be enough."

"Ha...haah..."

Yurier blinked.

More than enough, the average level of the players present is 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 is particularly fascinated by Aincrad. When he heard that there was an unknown maze, he agreed to help without saying a word. Asuna also came neatly after asking the leader of the Blood Knights. After all, it is an unknown maze, and everyone is very concerned.

"I wanted to find more people, but too many people will easily alert the King of Kiba. I'm sorry, I always feel sorry for only knowing the members of the strategy team."

"...Ah?!"

Yurier didn't know for a moment whether she was in Versailles or really felt sorry.

"Seven people? But it shouldn't be a problem."

"No, don't be careless."

Asuna said seriously: "Although it's only a level 60 maze, this is an unknown area. No one knows what accidents will happen, so you must be very careful! You must carry healing crystals and transfer crystals with you!"

As expected of a master of strategy, he never takes it lightly no matter what level of maze.

During the conversation, a huge building shining with black light appeared across the street in front. It was the Black Iron Palace, the largest facility in the town of origin.

After entering the gate, the square in front of us was set up with the list of all players - the monument of life. Although anyone can enter freely, the areas extending deeper are almost occupied by the army.

Yulier did not go to the main gate of the palace, but went around the back.

The towering walls and the deep ditches surrounding the walls continued to extend as if to reject invaders, and no one passed through here at all.

After walking for a few minutes, Yuriel stopped at a staircase that descended from the road to the surface of the ditch. A closer look revealed an entrance to a dark road on the right side of the stone wall at the front of the staircase.

"From here, enter the sewer of the palace and you will reach the entrance of the maze. It's a bit dark and narrow inside..."

Before she finished speaking, everyone had already taken out the crystal lamp very skillfully.

All the members of the strategy team have experienced many battles and have gone through all kinds of mazes, so the prop column is filled with a variety of emergency items. Xinka's name has not been crossed out yet because of his rich experience.

"Let's go carefully."

Xiaolin took the lead and walked in front.

The level 60 maze had no room for others to play. With the perfect cooperation of Xiaolin and Liu Zi, monsters such as giant frogs and crayfish were easily destroyed by the two.

Watching the two people's overwhelming battle, Yuriel was stunned.

This scene must be very different from the battle she knew, but apart from Xiaolin, everyone present could do this.

The original tension disappeared instantly.

It has been dozens of minutes since they entered the maze made of black stones from the dark and humid sewer. Although it is deeper and wider than expected, and there are many monsters, but under the premise that everyone is very strong, they don’t feel tired.

“Um… I’m really sorry, I didn’t make a move 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 continued to move forward.

Yuriel displayed the map in the shared window mode, with the friend mark light dot representing Shinka's current location displayed on it. Since there is no map of the entire maze, the road to the light spot is completely blank, but about 70% of the distance has been filled.

"Xinka's position has not moved for a few days, so he should stay in the safe zone. As long as he can get there, he can use the crystal to escape... I'm sorry, but I have to ask for your help again."

"It doesn't matter, we got the reward anyway."

Kirito held a ball of beating meat in his hands, with the words "Carrion Eats Toad Meat" written on it. Asuna screamed in fright, and at the same time deleted the toad meat that fell from the item inventory.

"Ah, what a waste."

Xiao Lin felt a little pity.

He hasn't eaten the toad meat from "Su Qing" for a long time. This time he got a lot of toad meat. When he goes back, he will find a chef to fry it and savor it.

"Come on, keep going!"

Asuna didn't want any more messy things to appear in her inventory, so she accelerated her pace.

When they first entered the maze, the group of monsters, mainly aquatic creatures, gradually changed into horror-type monsters such as zombies and ghosts as the floor went down. Although Yuriel was frightened, the people in the strategy team slaughtered them without any hesitation. Enemies appear one after another.

It is usually unethical for high-level players to make a fuss in a maze area lower than their own level, but this time there is no need to care if there are no others. If there is enough time, they can even be upgraded, but the top priority now is to rescue Xinka.

In the blink of an eye, two hours have passed.

The group moved forward at a steady pace.

If they didn't have a map that forced them to be constantly alert to their surroundings, they would be even faster.

Zooming in on the distance between the current location marked on the map and the safe area where Xinka was, after countless black skeleton swordsmen were swept away, he finally saw a passage with warm light flowing out.

"It's a safe zone."

Yuriel's face showed joy.

Kirito also used the search skill and found a green player inside.

"It's Xinka!"

Yuriel, who seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, screamed and ran over with the sound of metal armor, and everyone behind her quickly followed.

After running towards the light source on the right curve for a few seconds, 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 there was a man standing at the entrance. Although he couldn't see his face clearly due to the backlight, he was waving his arms fiercely towards here.

"Yuriel!"

After confirming who was coming, the man called Mencius loudly, and Yuriel also waved her left hand and sped up her running speed.

"You can't come here! Over there in the passage...!"

Xinka was still shouting something, but Yuriel couldn't listen anymore and just ran in a straight line towards the room.

At this time, a few meters in front of the room, at a dead end on the right side of another road that intersected at right angles to the passage the three were running, suddenly appeared with the words [The Fatal-scythe] written on it.

The definite article added before the proper noun meaning the Scythe of Fate is proof of the boss monster.

"No! Miss Yuriel, come back quickly!"

Asuna shouted anxiously.

The yellow arrow moved quickly to the left, gradually approaching the intersection of the crossroads. If it continued like this, it would only take a few seconds to hit Yuriel at the intersection.

At this critical moment, Xiao Lin's hands began to shake.

Chains and silk threads come together.

The chain resisted the incoming yellow arrow, and the silk thread tied Yuriel's waist and pulled hard, quickly causing them to stagger.

The huge black shadow shook the ground with a rumbling sound, and passed in front of a group of people who stopped in front of the intersection with an emergency brake that would scorch 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 felt like it was about to charge again.

"Darkness! Rain!"

"Leave it to me!"

"receive!"

The collision just now made Xiaolin understand that this boss monster is famous for its strength, so he asked Darkness and Rein, who were tanks, to stop it. Xiaolin came to control it, and then Kirito, Asuna and Alice were on the side. Launch an attack.

Clang————!

The harsh friction sound hit the shield fiercely. After the yellow light gradually dissipated, the appearance of the leader was revealed in front of everyone.

In a word, he is the god of death.

The depths of the hat and the arms stretched out from the cuffs were all entangled with black energy that was about to move. The dark face was embedded with scarlet eyes, and it was two and a half meters tall but floating in mid-air overlooking them. The right hand holds a long and large sickle, and droplets of red sticky water are constantly dripping from the sinister curved blade.

Death rolled his eyes and stared directly at them.

At this moment, Yuriel's heart seemed to be gripped by a sense of pure fear, and a chill ran through her body.

"This guy should be level ninety."

"...W-What?!"

Hearing Kirito say this, Asuna took a deep breath.

Now they have only reached the 70th floor. According to the situation that each floor needs to be ten levels higher to successfully conquer it, the level 90 Death God in front of them needs to be level 100 to conquer it, and the entire strategy team must do it together.

"Don't panic, haven't we encountered this situation many times?"

"Yes, didn't we pass it easily on the fifth floor?"

"It's just a level 90 BOSS..."

Although they said so, in fact, everyone was unsure in their hearts. After all, the pressure brought by the level 5 BOSS and the level 90 BOSS is completely different.

However——

"Ryu Zi, let's go."

"Yes."

Xiao Lin's chain tied Ryu Zi's slender waist, and the two rushed towards the Grim Reaper, followed by Alice. After seeing this scene, Kirito and Asuna gritted their teeth and rushed forward together.

Now they have two tanks, plus Xiao Lin and Kirito who is a dual-wielding sword, Alice and Asuna are also powerful players.

This boss monster may not be impossible to challenge!

At this time, the Grim Reaper, who slowly swung his sickle, exuded miasma from the hem of his robe and began to rush forward aggressively.

"Darkness!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The perverted female knight went up with a flushed face.

Darkness, who had strengthened her defense, was also defeated by a 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. She seemed to want to compete with the Death God boss monster to see whose skills were stronger. She slashed the BOSS's neck fiercely.

Weak point attack!

The bright light and fragments burst out, indicating that Liu Zi's attack was effective and successful, but everyone was not happy or cheering for it.

Just because the health value dropped too low.

You must know that in the BOSS battle, weak point attack is one of the means for players to reduce the BOSS's health value. Many players rely on this trick to greatly reduce the BOSS's health before the BOSS enters the second stage, but the health of the Death God only dropped a little.

"Don't be discouraged! If the attack is not invalidated, it means that the defense can still be broken, which is already very good!"

Kobayashi pulled down the stiff Ryu Zi in mid-air, and then threw him out. Ryu Zi's sickle landed on the back of the Grim Reaper again.

Two consecutive hits!

The continuous weak point hits made the Grim Reaper's health drop a little again. He used his actions to prove that the Grim Reaper in front of him was not invincible.

And Kirito and Asuna regained their confidence.

"Okay! I was going to keep this trick, but now... let me show it!"

While speaking, a chain appeared in Kobayashi's left hand again, trapping Kirito's body.

"Get ready, Kirito! Next, you're going to take off!"

"...Huh?!"

Kirito, who had no time to react, was thrown into the air by Kobayashi. The excellent position made this two-sword player with the strongest attack power subconsciously swing his double swords.

Weak point hit!

The combo made the Death God's health drop a little bit, and then he was pulled down, but when he came down, Asuna was thrown into the air again, and the rapier kept causing 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 smooth!"

Kobayashi was like an acrobatic clown throwing bottles, constantly throwing the four "bottles" of Kirito, Asuna, Alice, and Ryuzi into the air. They could always hit the highest damage value in the most appropriate position.

Whenever the Death God wanted to turn around to deal with Kobayashi, the two tanks... Darkness and Rain drew the hatred away.

Just like that, under high-frequency attacks.

Two hours later, the Death God was defeated!
