Chapter 21: The War Begins!
"Is... this really the Guardian BOSS's room?"
Cerica lifted her head and gazed at the towering bronze gate in front of her, a hint of fear on her face.
Behind this big gate is the first layer's guardian BOSS.
How strong the BOSS of Guardian is, except for players who have participated in the closed beta test, no one knows.
Everyone knows that even some ordinary monsters in the maze area are not something that ordinary players, except for top players, can beat alone.
Not to mention that ordinary monsters are above, there are elite monsters, above them are small BOSS, and above the small BOSS is the gatekeeper BOSS.
Looking at Celia's timid face, Yagumo Taku gently pinched the soft small hand of the girl and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Hmm!" Celia raised her head and looked at Yakumo Suke, then immediately lowered it with a hint of shyness.
Now, the four-person team consisting of Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica has arrived at the entrance to the boss room in the depths of the Labyrinth District with a large group led by Diavel.
Perhaps it was because of Yayun Mo's words yesterday that there was no Ya Wang in the team.
Although the team led by Ya Wang himself was somewhat dissatisfied with this, they did not say much.
After all, one Tooth King is nothing compared to their entire team's strength, and if he's gone, then so be it.
Even a fool can see that Hachiguma's strength is extremely powerful, and just that one set of equipment that looks extremely luxurious is not something an ordinary person can obtain.
For a mediocre Tooth King to offend the powerful Yakumo Suke, no one would do that.
"Everyone! Before we start attacking the BOSS, let me brief you on some intel about the first layer's guardian BOSS!"
Diya stood in front of everyone and pulled out a brown-covered notebook.
That was originally thought by ordinary players to be self-centered and inconsiderate of others, the closed test players wrote down the strategy information based on their own intelligence and distributed it free of charge to everyone.
It was also because of this notebook that people's impression of the beta testers improved slightly.
"According to intelligence, the BOSS of this floor is named 'Irvan, King of Dog-Headed Men'! In addition to the BOSS, there are also several 'Fallen Dog-Headed Men Sentinels' serving as guards in the room!"
"BOSS's weapons are an axe and a round shield! With four HP bars, when the last HP bar drops to red, BOSS will switch weapons and use an Indian curved sword to attack!"
"Next, it's about the distribution of rewards! In terms of money, it will be evenly distributed among all players who participated in the raid. The experience points will go to the person who delivered the final blow to the BOSS! As for the equipment dropped by the BOSS, whoever picks it up gets to keep it!"
"No objection?"
Everyone shouted: "No!"
Diablero smiled satisfactorily and turned around, his right arm clenched into a fist as he shouted loudly: "Then! The strategy begins!!!"
"Oh——!!"
He stretched out his hands, Diabero took a deep breath and pushed open the bronze gate!
Behind the gate is darkness.
Tightening their grip on their weapons, everyone cautiously entered the room in formation.
When everyone entered the BOSS room, the torches around suddenly lit up and immediately presented the entire BOSS room to everyone.
This is an extremely spacious room, at the end of the room, there is a throne, on which sits a dog-headed person with an extremely tall and large build, whose palm alone is almost as big as the player's body!
In the instant when the room lit up, Ilfan, the Dog-headed King of the Goblins, who was quietly sitting on his throne, suddenly lifted his originally lowered head, and his opened eyes emitted a terrifying bloody glow!
"ROAR!!!!!!"
The BOSS let out a loud roar, and suddenly three blue lights shot out from the room. After the lights faded away, three dog-headed guards wearing knight armor and holding iron hammers appeared before the players!
Yilvane, the Dog-headed King, leapt high from his throne and crashed heavily in front of the players. The entire room shook with a tremor as he landed, causing some players who were stunned by the BOSS to stumble and fall to the ground!
"Everybody up! Full army attack!!"
Diya Beilu swung his long sword and charged at the BOSS first!
"Cheers!"
"Charge!"
Countless players gripped their weapons tightly and charged towards the BOSS and its three guards.
But the BOSS saw these players rushing towards him first, as if enraged, his eyes, which were already emitting a bloody glow, became even more ferocious. He swung his right arm, holding the long axe, and strode towards the players with three guards!
For a time, the sound of clashing steel echoed throughout the entire BOSS room, players found their assigned targets and engaged in fierce battles with the monsters!
"Let's go up!"
Baiyun Mo looked at the enormous body of Ilfan, the Dog-headed King, and the demonic blood within him seemed to boil over. He drew out the folding fan from his waist and transformed into a silver light, charging towards the BOSS.
"So fast..."
Kirito and Asuna, who witnessed this scene, let out a low cry and tightened their grip on their weapons as they followed after them.
Circa saw that three people in the team had gone up, clenched her fists at her chest to give herself a boost, and then said to Bina: "Bina! Come on!"
"Chee!" Bina let out a clear cry as she flew towards the BOSS under Cilica's command.
The BOSS in the Guardian BOSS room and its guards have a different hate system setting than ordinary monsters outside, so when a dog-headed sentinel who was originally attracted by another team saw Yayoi Moku rushing towards his king, he let out a sharp cry and swung his hammer to knock away a player in front of him before turning around to block Yayoi Moku.
"Get out of here!!"
Baiyun Mo let out a loud whoop, and with one kick he jumped up, directly stomping his foot on the dog-headed sentinel's head. He then clamped his legs tightly around the sentinel's neck, using his waist to generate force and twisting his entire body fiercely, sending the dog-headed sentinel flying into the air, where it spun around several times.
Whoosh!!
The dog-headed sentinel hadn't even landed when Bayun Mo opened this door with a wave of his hand, finding the sentinel's neck and launching an attack!
When the sentinel fell back to the ground, the originally green HP bar directly dropped to red!!
"That's amazing!"
"Really?..."
"Is he really a player?"
"What kind of weapon is that? A fan?"
The players who originally fought against the sentry saw Yakumo Sukuna effortlessly defeat the dog-headed sentry, which was quite a handful for them, and turned it into a red HP value, revealing an unbelievable expression.
"This is no time for daydreaming! Everyone, get serious and fight!"
Diablero was also surprised, but he seemed to be a born leader, and as the first one to react, he shouted at those who were stunned to come back to their senses, and then commanded everyone to fight against the BOSS again.
"Team A, Team B, Team C, switch! Teams D, E, F, follow up!"
"BOSS hatred target alert! Be careful when luring BOSS out of the crowd!!"
When Diavelo gave the order, Yakumo Tsubasa had already appeared in mid-air, his body hovering right in front of Ilvan's dog-head king!
The corners of his mouth slightly curved, Ba Yun Mo said in a low voice: "Next up is the solo BOSS fight, furious equipment brushing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bayun Mo put away the folding fan in his right hand and punched the BOSS's head with a clenched fist in his left hand!!
"ROAR!!!!!"
The enormous force sent BOSS's massive body flying out, and even the topmost HP slot decreased by a thread!
This scene shocked everyone once again.
"Is BOSS too weak......"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
It's not that BOSS is too weak, but rather Yakumo Sukehiro is too strong!
