Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 53: Dirberu's Good Friday

The first level of SAO, an inn in the starting town.

One of the rooms in the hotel was rented by the 'Legion' guild for a long period of time as a base for the current operation.

Tiberu sat at his desk, stopped writing, and stretched his back.

Perhaps because he had been working since morning, he felt a little tired.

Is this an illusion? Why do I feel more exhausted in the game than in reality?

Then Tiberu stood up and looked at the draft he had just completed:

[SAO Wild Monster Management Regulations (First Revision)]

There isn’t a lot of content, only less than ten pages, and the important parts are highlighted in bold, making it simple and easy to understand.

After all, we can’t expect players of all professions and ages to understand the law.

The main content is probably: stealing other people's monsters is not allowed, violators must be taken extremely seriously, and all guilds should unite to stand against violators.

In addition, there are some regulations about BOSS, such as players can choose how to deal with the BOSS after discovering it, and exchange rewards after killing the BOSS.

However, most of them were about the incident of the 'Black Swordsman', and for this reason, Dierberu worked all night to organize this document.

He then made a copy of the document and sent it to the presidents of each guild.

If everyone agrees, they will be responsible for maintaining the treaty in the future.

Not long after, Tiberu received a reply message, presumably they had already taken a general look at it.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is just a game, do you have to take it so seriously?"

Tiberu retorted: "Do you still want to see a player like the 'Black Swordsman'?"

"I don't want to see such bastards either, but such people are just individual cases after all. Do we need to spend so much energy and issue a regulation to manage them?"

Tiberu explained seriously, "Only when top guilds like us work together can we solve this kind of behavior from the root. This will benefit everyone, both us and the new players."

He knew that the problem with the regulations could not be solved in a short time, and it would take time to get everyone to accept it.

After all, not everyone plays games so seriously. Some people come for entertainment, and asking them to maintain the content of the regulations would become a burden.

So he needs to find like-minded people.

But there was no need to rush, and Tiberu looked at the time.

It's time.

Tiberu walked out the door.

Now he has something more important to do - to defeat the BOSS again, and he has gathered people for this purpose.

When we arrived at the place where the first BOSS meeting took place, there were still the familiar circular stone steps and stone platforms, but this time there were more and stronger people.

Tiberu stood in the middle of the platform and looked around. There were about 200 people, and all of them were well prepared.

Whether it is the number of recovery potions or the level of equipment enhancement, they are known to be the best among the current player group.

Tiberu smiled slightly. With such a team, there was no need to worry about the BOSS being destroyed.

Then he explained the newly discovered BOSS location and BOSS mechanism to the players in the audience.

This information was gathered during the campaign against the 'Black Swordsman'. Although the entire group was wiped out in the end, this information was still retained.

When Dierberu thought about this, he couldn't help but thank Kirito.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered the BOSS territory, he would probably still be leveling up somewhere.

Finally, Dierberu gave the order to set off: "Next, head to the second-level BOSS cave and begin the BOSS subjugation operation."

After hearing this, all the players became excited.

The first time we fought the BOSS, there were less than 70 people, but this time there were almost 200 people.

Although there were 300 people when fighting the 'Black Swordsman', most of them gathered together because of hatred and did not prepare for the BOSS battle, and the player levels were also uneven.

This time it’s a real BOSS battle lineup.

Tiberu waved his hand: Let’s go!

……

As they entered the cave maze, the familiar heat and brightness came over them again.

Tiberu led the way, and the other players followed behind.

The person next to him said, "President, it feels very quiet here."

Apart from the footsteps and whispered discussions of the players behind him, the cave was indeed very quiet.

Tiberu warned, "It won't be quiet soon. We'll be in the monster area soon."

After walking for a while.

"President, where is the monster you mentioned? Hasn't it arrived yet?"

After hearing this, Dierberu said with a strange look on his face: "That's strange, I remember that place just now is where we fought monsters before."

“Maybe it’s because you guys defeated the monsters, so they don’t dare to refresh anymore.” Someone joked.

After that, everyone laughed and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

They all knew that a monster would not stop refreshing just because it had been defeated once - unless the regional boss was defeated.

But I didn't encounter any monsters along the way.

Just like that, they reached the deepest part of the maze, the BOSS's territory.

As before, the only access leads to a circular platform surrounded by lava.

Seeing this, Dierberu shouted a warning to the people behind him: "After entering the BOSS area, quickly move away from the central area. The BOSS Lava Demon will appear there. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" xN.

Seeing these players respond in unison, Tiberu thought that today's boss battle would definitely end smoothly.

Then he ordered everyone: "Charge!"

"-oh--"

As everyone stood up, they shouted and rushed into the BOSS area.

First, split into two groups to bypass the central area, and then surround the central area where the BOSS appears in a circular formation.

After doing all this, everyone stared closely at the central area, always on guard against the appearance of the BOSS.

The same goes for Tiberu.

But is there something extra in the center of the platform this time?

Looking ahead, there is a two-meter-high stone tablet, and behind the tablet is a huge stone door.

Soon someone noticed something unusual:

"Why didn't the boss show up~"

"The thing in the middle looks familiar to me. It looks like a stone tablet for defeating a boss."

Such a stone tablet will appear after defeating the BOSS, and the names of the surviving players will be engraved on it.

The stone gate at the back was almost identical to the one on the first floor. They passed through the stone gate on the first floor to reach the main city on the second floor.

Could it be that the boss of the second floor was defeated?

Such a thought flashed through the player's mind.

But such thoughts come and go quickly.

Because that is absolutely impossible.

The BOSS that was just discovered yesterday was defeated when I came again today?

How could such a ridiculous thing happen?

But the fact is right in front of us, the BOSS did not show up.

Finally, Dirberu decided to step forward.

"President, be careful. Maybe walking to the middle of the platform is the condition for triggering the BOSS."

The warnings from his teammates failed to stop Tiberu. The further he walked forward, the heavier his heart became.

By the time he saw the contents of the stone tablet, he was horrified and shouted:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could there be only one person?"

When everyone saw that the president was not in danger, they also went forward to watch.

There was only one person's name on the stone tablet - Hei.

People also discussed:

"I remember the function of the stone tablet. It records the IDs of the people present after defeating the boss."

"But there is only one person on the stone tablet. Could it be that he defeated the BOSS alone?"

"How is that possible? If one person can defeat the boss, why do we need 200 people?"

"Bug! There must be a bug in the game!"

Some people were cheering, while others were thinking.

Tiberu was one of those who was thinking.

He knew that after the defeat of the BOSS yesterday, it would take a lot of time to organize another large-scale battle. Even a top-level guild like his could only do it the next day.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and even if the remaining answer is ridiculous, it is still the correct answer.

Then Dierberu said, "It was our boss from yesterday. It was defeated."

This opening again attracted a lot of discussion:

"Didn't we fail in yesterday's boss battle?"

"Judging from the result, the boss battle might not have been a failure, but someone defeated the last low-health boss." Tiberu added.

"Does that mean our monster was stolen?"

"Then why haven't I heard anyone tell me where this guy named Hei is now?"

"Damn it! I'm so unwilling to accept this. I prepared all night to fight today's BOSS, only to be told that the BOSS is gone!"

……

The crowd became more and more angry, cursing Hei's name, and some even wanted revenge, like attacking the 'Black Swordsman'.

But they were all stopped by Tiberu.

After all, such behavior cannot be called "robbing". Everyone was wiped out, and the BOSS was left with little health, even if that person was just lucky enough to take down the BOSS.

If it is robbery, whose monster is it?

All the players around had clearly been wiped out.

They wanted to convict him, but he really hadn't committed any crime.

The one who had the most headache was Dierberu, who complained in his heart:

Whether it's Kirito, Kenshin, or Kuro, why do they have to encounter such maggots all day long?
