Infinite Trial from the Giant

The sudden change of target of the Gnoll Lord did play a certain role. At least Xia Tian, ​​who had been focusing on how to fight it, suddenly lost his goal because of its behavior and had no time to catch up quickly.

Loki was among the target group of the Kobold Lord. Originally, like everyone else, he was completely frozen in place after seeing the Kobold Lord's series of actions like a living creature and the fierce fight between Xia Tian and him. But now, seeing that the Kobold Lord actually gave up on Xia Tian and turned directly to this side, the habits and reactions he developed from teaming up with Xia Tian for a long time made him come back to his senses immediately.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

Two identical warnings sounded one after another. The first one was shouted by Loki, and the second one was shouted by Kirito on the other side. At this time, Kirito seemed to have finally gotten rid of the identity of "spectator". He put his one-handed sword behind his back and rushed towards the crowd with all his strength.

The Gnoll Lord could never have imagined that his range sword technique called the whirlwind, in which he jumped high and then fell, could be interrupted by another person besides Xia Tian.

Kirito let out a short cry from his throat, and rushed out from the side like a cannonball. The sword in his hand then accurately hit the waist of the Kobold Lord. With a "swish", the Kobold Lord's body tilted half a circle under Kirito's attack and fell downwards again.

However, before the Gnoll Lord landed on the ground, a ray of bright light suddenly flashed from behind, and Xia Tian, ​​holding the armor blade in reverse, completed a precise aerial relay towards the Gnoll Lord who was shot down by Kirito. This time the attack went directly from the Gnoll Lord's head all the way to his tail, leaving a clear red scar. The Gnoll Lord's remaining blood was completely emptied, and after an unwilling roar in the air, the Gnoll Lord's entire body lit up, and then turned into thousands of fragments that exploded and dissipated in mid-air.

Xia Tian fell from mid-air, and a huge message of 'Congratulations' appeared behind him.

After the entire BOSS room was silent for more than ten seconds, it suddenly erupted into warm cheers filled with joy and rebirth.

"Success!!"

"We did it! We defeated the first level boss!"

Without paying attention to the partying players, Xia Tian first exchanged a smile with Kirito over there, then focused his attention on the prompt sound coming from the arena in his mind.

'Once the additional goal is achieved, a reward will be issued: Kobold Guard Summoning Module, which can summon two Kobold Guards of the same level each time it is used (only for use in this world, three times) (exclusive)'

Although he was not sure whether there were other fighters in the player group, Xia Tian had already determined that the reward for the extra objective one would be his. After all, no player had fought against the Kobold Lord since he killed Diabel. In the process of cooperating with Kirito, Kirito was just a tool responsible for parrying the attacks, and the last bar of health of the Kobold Lord was basically all taken away by Xia Tian.

As the prompt sounded, relevant instructions about the Gnoll Guards also entered Xia Tian's mind.

In addition to the same level, the Gnoll Guards summoned by this module must be like the Gnoll Lord that Xia Tian just fought. They have intelligence that is no less than that of humans and are fully capable of following the summoner's instructions or cooperating in combat. They are not simply monsters controlled by a program and are definitely worthy of the reward of this additional objective level 1 difficulty.

With this reward, it is basically equivalent to having two more reliable helpers, and its effectiveness is self-evident.

After paying attention to the rewards for the additional targets, Xia Tian turned his attention to the final hit reward he got. Unlike when dealing with those small monsters, the final hit reward dropped by this BOSS has a prompt, just like the last time after taking down the giant toad's final hit, Xia Tian also received the same prompt. The reward Xia Tian got at that time was a strengthening material called "Giant Toad's Long Tongue". Since this material is used to enhance accuracy and durability, Xia Tian cannot use it for the time being.

The fact that the Kobold Lord was able to deliver the final blow this time was a pleasant surprise for Xia Tian.

I have the impression that Kirito got a black coat after defeating the BOSS.

Thinking about this, Xia Tian clicked on the prompt to confirm the final hit.

'Lord's Blade'

What was displayed before his eyes was not the coat equipment Kirito had obtained, but the name of a weapon.

"Xia Tian." Before Xia Tian could check the condition of the Lord's Blade, Loki's voice sounded behind him.

His eyes were a little evasive, and Loki said in a very guilty tone: "I'm sorry, I can't help at all."

Loki felt really guilty. Apart from the initial defense as a team, he couldn't help at all in the previous battle, leaving all the tasks of dealing with the BOSS to Xia Tian. Loki could hardly imagine how this battle would have ended if Xia Tian hadn't been there, or if Xia Tian hadn't won.

"Nothing, don't mind it." Xia Tian smiled. He really didn't care. After all, from the very beginning, Xia Tian didn't place any hope on others. Whether it was Loki or Kirito, they were actually unstable factors for Xia Tian. Although he could make the most of them, the real key in the end still lay on himself.

Looking at Xia Tian's smile, Loki didn't say anything, but lowered his head silently.

No, it doesn’t work. It happened with the giant toad last time and it happened this time too. Am I going to leave everything to Xia Tian like this from now on?

"It's all thanks to you this time, and it seems like you really saved me this time." N also came over with Kazar and Sat and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Asuna stood behind the three of them, looking at Xia Tian with a complicated expression. She was just in the group of people that the Kobold Lord had targeted. Like Loki, after seeing the various actions and intimidation of the Kobold Lord, Asuna remained frozen in place without doing anything. She also knew very well that if Xia Tian and the other one-handed swordsman had not interrupted the BOSS's attack, the group of people including herself would have been killed by the Kobold Lord.

Rescued again.

As Loki, N and the others gathered around, the other players' eyes gradually turned to this side. The bald man named Agil stepped forward and said, "You are right. The battle just now was really exciting. Beautiful skills. This victory belongs to you. Likewise, we also want to thank you."

"You're right."

"You should be thanked."

"grateful."

Agil's words resonated with the other players. They shouted in agreement and then gave Xia Tian a warm round of applause.
