Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

The 40th floor of Aincrad, the floating city, and the 23rd floor of the tower in the labyrinth area.

As the only passage leading to the next floor, the labyrinth area must be about [-] meters high.The number of internal layers depends on the design theme, but generally there are thirty layers.From this point of view, this high tower should have been broken by nearly [-]%, and it is quite close to the top floor where the floor boss is located.

If you want to clear the game, the boss monsters on each floor are the biggest obstacles.Among them, the 25th floor, 75th floor, and [-]th floor bosses with four sub-nodes are particularly powerful.And the second only to them is the integer floor boss who meets once in ten floors.That is to say, after defeating the boss of the fortieth floor, the next difficulty will be the first floor... which is the middle point of the hundred-story floating city.

Although what awaits the player may be a fierce battle beyond the 25th floor, once a breakthrough is made, it will usher in a turning point in the Aincrad strategy.It has been a year since I was forced to play this death game. So far, the ultimate goal of clearing the game and liberating all players has been extremely desperate, but after that, it may become vaguely achievable.

So, there is no time to fight hard here.Monsters with a medium BOSS level strive for a breakthrough, and find the path to the top today.

The design theme of the [-]th floor is prison.

Correspondingly, the monster that is now fighting the player is a huge jailer.

His proper name is [Ruthless Warden Chief] (Ruthless Wa

d Chief).Although it is humanoid, it is certainly not human.The skin of the whole body is dark red, the arms are abnormally thick and long, holding a metal rod with countless spikes, and the eyes under the steel mask are shining with a cloudy yellow light.

The warder chief's attack mode is very simple, that is, to wield the mace in his hand with brute force.However, its power should not be underestimated, making it impossible for attackers to get close.But after nearly 10 minutes of fighting, he has finally fully grasped his attack style now.Get rid of him in one go the next time you switch.

Asuna made up her mind, watching the warder chief raise his mace high.

"Team C, countdown, 3! 2, 1..."

The roar of the monster was like a chaotic drumbeat. At this moment,

"0!"

Asuna's shout overlapped with it.

The monster's huge mace swept across, and the broadsword in the captain's hand of team C emitted a green light effect to meet it.The other five also used single-shot sword skills in different colors.

Violent vibrations resounded through the passage, the mace in the hands of the warden bounced back, and the body also leaned back sharply. The 6 members of Team C were also repelled.When powerful attacks collide with each other, it will cause such a backward effect on both sides.

It is precisely because of such a backward effect that the most basic and indispensable tactic in SAO-【Swapping Front and Back】is produced.

Switching refers to the replacement of companions and locations, so a certain period of time is required in combat.

With a well-coordinated duo switching, simply blocking the enemy's ult, or forcing the enemy to block your own ult to create a momentary break, is enough.But for switching between six-person teams, that is, team switching, at least three seconds of space is required.

Facing the enemy's all-out attack, the whole team resisted with single-shot sword skills, and the resulting recoil caused the Warden Chief to shake violently, and the six of them also retreated five meters in a row.However, this is exactly what it wants.This necessary vacancy is the result of special training over the past few months.

"Team B, go forward!"

Asuna shouted an order, and she rushed forward at the same time.

Passing through the members of team C who were in the straight line, they rushed directly to the front.

The warden still hasn't recovered from his recoil.Asuna thrust out the rapier in her right hand with all her strength, and the triple fencing technique [Triangle Thrust] attacked the weak point of her knee.

The first of the two HP gauges disappears with the shattering light effect, and directly enters the second.

"Of

thighs

a

g! ! "

With an angry growl in Monster Tongue, the jailer recovered from his recoil.It's time to get real.

"Seguro, Muldar, attract the target head-on! The attack pattern may change, so focus on defense! Froz and I attack from the right, Sanza and Nautilus attack from the left!"

Asuna gave the order as fast as she could speak.Almost at the same time, the two main Ts of Team B raised their large shields and rushed in front of the jailer, and at the same time launched the taunting skill [Intimidation], causing the jailer's yellow eyes that were originally staring at Asuna to turn to them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asuna joined Frotz the Hammer and circled to the right side of the monster.On the other side, the spear user Sanza and the one-handed sword user Nautilus are also unfolding——

As it should be.but……

"—!?"

The only one rushing over was the burly Sansa holding a cross spear, but the shield swordsman who was supposed to support him was nowhere to be seen.

The Warder Chief's single attack can be resisted by the two main Ts that attract firepower, but in the face of a horizontal sweeping wide-area attack, the four main attackers can only choose to defend or avoid.If the surrounding space is large enough, you can retreat to avoid it, but the width of this passage is only six meters.The warder's sweeping attack can be hit from one end to the other, so it must be defended with a shield or weapon.

Although the rapier is not suitable for defense, the scar of winter in Asuna's hand at the moment is not the case. Unlike the slender appearance, this sword has unimaginable attack power and durability, and the attack of the middle boss can easily Block it with the side.

However, although Sansa's cross spear has good attack power and attack range, because the handle is made of wood, its durability is somewhat low.Others have advised him many times that it is better to switch to all-metal spear or halberd weapons, but he is very stubborn and doesn't listen at all.

The current Asuna can also understand that this kind of stubbornness can give people a kind of strength that cannot be displayed on the status bar.And if there is a shield-wielding swordsman supporting him, this kind of enemy's attack can also be resisted.That's why this formation was made.However……

"Nautilus, what's wrong!?"

Did you step on a trap?Asuna shouted without looking back, but there was no response.Although it is possible to call someone from Team C, they have reached their limit and are currently taking medicine to recover.If they are forced to join the battle when their HP is not enough, I am afraid it will lead to the worst result.

"...Sansa, back off!"

Asuna gritted her teeth and shouted.The gun is a weapon that is good at interrupting. Without a gun, the burden on the two main tanks will inevitably increase.They had to find a way to rely on four people until Team C recovers, and then make another team switch. They also had to confirm the reason why Nautilus didn't come.

Hearing Asuna's instructions, Sansa showed an expression of unwillingness for a moment.Like Nautilus, he was promoted to the first team of the guild on the No. 40th floor, so he has been working very hard to get into the team of the boss of the raid floor.Backing up without doing anything, although this resentment is understandable, but rushing forward recklessly now will only be counterproductive.

However, before the spearman retreated...

"In

uaa! ! "

The jailer let out a long roar, then lowered the huge mace, and placed it in a posture level with the ground.

"Range attack! Next stage defense!!"

The moment Asuna yelled, a mace with a diameter of [-] centimeters had struck with the sound of a loud wind breaking.Facing the fan-shaped sweeping attack, Asuna and Froz on the right, and Seguro and Murdar in the center, all quickly squatted down and barely blocked it with their weapons or shields.However, Sansa, who failed to dodge in time, could only stick his gun on the ground to defend... Then, the black mace mercilessly broke the gun.

"Guaaaa!"

Sansa's waist was hit hard by the mace, and his whole body was directly sent flying, then hit the wall behind him heavily, and then fell to the ground.On the left side of Asuna's field of vision, one of the HP gauges of her teammates dropped by more than [-]% in an instant.

"Gu

uuu..."

Laughing strangely, the grim warden turned his face to Sansa.

The theme of the [-]th floor is the prison, and some jailer monsters wandering on this floor have a kind called "Bullyyi".

g" troublesome algorithm. Bullyi

G means "bullying the weak" in English.As the word implies, monsters don't have the same threat value as usual, but will turn towards players who are down, unable to move or have eaten debuffs.
