Infinite Trial from the Giant

"hiss!"

The Lord's Blade slashed forward and cut off the strange snake that was shot in front of him.

His eyes were always fixed on the figure of the warrior in black armor in the field. Xia Tian, ​​who was wearing a dark red cloak, casually moved to the side and easily avoided the bite of the silver snake that suddenly rushed out from under his feet.

Nearly three weeks have passed since the third floor was conquered, and Xia Tian is currently in the boss room of the tenth floor of Aincrad. The figure in black armor not far away is the boss guarding the floor named Snake Warrior.

At this moment, Xia Tian is the only one who is trying to attack the boss.

After dodging the bites of the silver snakes that rushed out from under his feet, Xia Tian quickly used the Tsujikaze sword skill to rush in front of the snake warrior, and then the Feishan three-continuous sword skill had already cut the opponent's body.

The snake warrior's left arm flashed with silver light, and a silver snake suddenly appeared from his elbow. Its body coiled and extended along his forearm, and then it suddenly stretched out and bit Xia Tian's throat.

But Xia Tian had already fully mastered the snake warrior's attack method. He turned his wrist and used the Fantasy Moon sword skill, just in time to cut the silver snake's attack path. He used the perfect predictive attack to resolve the snake warrior's counterattack, and then used the afterswing of the Fantasy Moon to connect with another slash, reducing the snake warrior's health bar again.

From the beginning of the boss battle, Xia Tian fought very easily against this boss that no one had ever seen during the closed beta period. Knowing all the attack methods and means of the snake warrior, Xia Tian is still in an uninjured state until now.

The reason why Xia Tian knew the snake warrior's attack method was naturally all due to the reward for extra goal three.

After completing additional objective three, Xia Tian has the right to obtain information about any five bosses. The boss information given by the arena is naturally extremely detailed. It is because of this information, plus the growth weapon rewarded by additional objective two - Lord's Blade (modified), and the dark red cloak equipment called "Blood Rage" that Xia Tian dared to attack the boss alone.

After reducing the snake warrior's health bar again, seeing that the opponent's health bar was less than one bar, Xia Tian leaped away, keeping a distance of about two meters from the snake warrior. At the same time, a dark scabbard suddenly appeared at his waist. Xia Tian twisted the direction of the blade and sheathed the slender wild sword in an extremely fast posture, assuming an Iai posture.

The snake warrior in front naturally would not be idle. At this time, it strode forward, two silver lights flashed on its body, and it turned into two silver snakes and attacked. At the same time, the wild sword in its hand chopped straight towards Xia Tian.

Break the air!

Just when the snake warrior's blade and the two silver snakes were about to hit Xia Tian, ​​the originally dark scabbard flashed with light, and Xia Tian's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant. A cold light suddenly appeared in the field, and then a wave of air quickly spread out to the surroundings with the snake warrior as the center.

Xia Tian, ​​who had appeared several meters behind the snake warrior at some point, shook his blade lightly, and the boss on the tenth floor turned into data fragments and scattered.

The sword skill called Duankong is a unique sword skill of the nodachi that Xia Tian has mastered as his level increases. It is a sword skill that can seize the opportunity at the moment of the enemy's attack and strike first, causing a lot of damage.

However, corresponding to the amount of damage, this sword skill also has great risks. The first is proficiency. Since it is an Iai sword skill, the sword must be sheathed before it is activated. The speed at which this action is completed determines the activation time of the sword skill. Therefore, if the proficiency is not enough and the activation is slow, there will be a huge flaw.

In addition, there is the timing of the attack. You must seize the gap when the enemy attacks, so unless you are already familiar with the enemy's moves, using this sword skill will only backfire.

It was precisely because Xia Tian had fully understood the snake warrior's attack method that before the battle began, he used the single skill complete learning module to strengthen Duan Kong, maximizing the damage of this sword skill, which achieved this effect.

'Current average damage contribution: 30.7%, additional goal completed, reward: Mini Aincrad'

After the snake warrior was killed, Xia Tian received a notice from the arena for completing additional goals, and nodded in satisfaction.

The reason why Xia Tian took such a big risk to challenge the boss alone was for the reward of extra goal four.

Starting from the third floor, due to the dissatisfaction expressed by Ya Wang, Lancelot and others, Xia Tian also agreed to be responsible for parrying the boss's attacks and creating an attacking environment for other players.

However, even though Xia Tian could attack the boss while parrying, the number of attacks and the damage he could deal were greatly reduced compared to the real output position. This also resulted in the amount of damage he caused to the boss after successfully killing the demon tree spirit did not reach the 25% required by the additional goal four.

That is, starting from the third level, perhaps because of the instigation of King Ya and Lancelot, most of the players in the front-line strategy group began to ask Xia Tian and others to maintain this fighting style so that the strategy can proceed smoothly.

Xia Tian certainly knew what these players were thinking. They just wanted to eliminate them and prevent them from getting the final blow in order to obtain reward resources.

Little did they know that what Xia Tian wanted was not the final blow.

As the number of players in the front-line strategy group and their average combat experience continued to increase, the damage contribution value inflicted by Xia Tian on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors gradually decreased, and he was getting further and further away from the conditions for completing additional objective four.

The ninth floor was a floor that even Kirito had not set foot on, so the strategy was hindered to a considerable extent due to the lack of boss information. Xia Tian relied on his own strength to stabilize the situation, gain a certain amount of damage contribution, and took advantage of the opportunity to get the final blow.

But perhaps it was precisely because they were almost wiped out on the ninth floor that, at the strategy meeting for the tenth floor, the players on the front line actually decided to adopt a conservative approach, which led Xia Tian to plan to attack the floor alone.

If not, the longer you delay, the more out of reach it will be to achieve an average damage contribution of 25%.

It seems that this may be a situation deliberately created by the arena, where you can choose to give up the additional goal four, or choose to take the risk and carry out the boss strategy alone.

Of course, Xia Tian could also ask Kirito and the others for help, but putting aside how to explain the detailed source of information about the boss, asking others to help with the strategy would mean that the damage contribution would be reduced, resulting in a situation where the requirements were still not met after the strategy was completed.

What's more, achieving additional goal four is only one of the goals for summer. There is also an additional goal five waiting, which requires the average damage to reach 35%.

In any case, completing Extra Objective 4 smoothly as planned was definitely good news for Xia Tian, ​​so he immediately turned his attention to this mini Aincrad that didn't even have an explanation.

'Mini Aincrad (only for this world): It has the same structure and content as Aincrad. You can enter it to challenge the boss of any floor. If you die in it, this item module will be invalid.'
