Chapter Thirty-Six Actually Didn't Think of a Title and Was Recruiting Advertisements

  The forest of maze is a pine forest.

  According to intelligence, the BOSS "Heretic Nicholas" of the Christmas Eve event will appear under the tallest pine tree in the deepest part of the Labyrinth Forest!

  So Asuna brought the Blood Oath Knights here early on.

  Of course, other guilds with their own intelligence networks also knew about this news, which is why the situation where several major guilds clashed earlier occurred.

  As for Kirito, although he was a solo player and didn't have many friends, he did have some.

  Moreover, due to Kirito's exceptional strength, his friends, even if they are not elite players, would be people with special talents in some aspect.

  For example, among his friends, there is a player who is also a beta tester and has a lot of information about SAO. He opened an "intelligence house" that specializes in selling intelligence for a living.

  Kirito had heard about this boss from a friend and came to join in on the fun.

  Bā Yún Mò was there chatting with Yà Sī Nà in a low voice, the rest of the people, including other members of the Blood Oath Cavalry, gave them space on their own initiative.

  Their reputation is too high now.

  One is the vice-leader of the strongest guild Blood Oath Knights, SAO's acknowledged number one beauty!

  One is a legendary player recognized as the strongest, who can match an entire raid team by himself!

  When these two people get together, others standing nearby can only feel a huge pressure.

  As Asuna and Yui chatted idly, midnight drew near.

  A Christmas bell rings out, and everyone looks up at the sky, midnight has arrived!

  A white airflow passed through the sky above everyone's heads, leaving behind a white linear cloud that seemed to divide the entire sky in two. After the linear cloud slowly disappeared, a huge shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of Bāyún Mò and Yàsīnà, under the tallest pine tree in the Labyrinth Forest!

  The shockwave from the falling figure stirred up a storm of wind and snow and smoke that obscured everyone's vision.

  In the smoky dust, everyone could barely see the BOSS's huge body inside!

  As the dust settled, the wind and snow that had been stirred up slowly fell to the ground, revealing "Heretic Nicholas" in all his glory before the eyes of everyone!

  That was a giant monster with an appearance similar to Santa Claus, but its expression was completely unlike the kind and gentle Santa Claus, instead it had a ferocious face, with two bright red eyes!

  Four-digit HP! Same HP value as the Maze District Guardian BOSS!

  "Finally... it's appeared..." Asuna muttered to herself, looking up at the towering BOSS.

  Defeat it and you can get precious resurrection items!

  "Whoosh!"

  A sudden noise attracted everyone's attention, and it turned out that while everyone was staring blankly at the BOSS, Yayoi Sumi had already drawn his folding fan and charged forward with his familiar, the nine-tailed white fox Hakuren, to start a solo battle against the BOSS!

  "Alone in the Eight Directions!!"

  The folding fan danced continuously, with one arc-shaped slash after another striking the BOSS's body, leaving behind a trail of red wounds!

  HP is also starting to slowly decrease!

  The BOSS, who was forced to retreat repeatedly by Hachiguma's offensive, had its attack interrupted and was finally hit on the head with a full-force blow from Hachiguma, falling to the ground and stirring up another whirlwind of snow!

  "Great... really great..."

  Watching Yagumo Ink alone forcing back and even directly knocking down the "Heretic Nikola" who was comparable to the Guardian BOSS, the onlookers around him couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Among them, the players who originally participated in the 25-layer strategy with Yiyun Mo were fine, but for those who did not participate in the 25-layer and first-layer strategies, this was their first time seeing Yiyun Mo's powerful strength!

  Klein's face was filled with excitement as he grabbed Kirito's shoulder and exclaimed loudly, "Kirito! That was really amazing!! Although it wasn't the first time I've seen it, I'm still so excited!"

  "Ah, ah, ah! I get it, I get it! Stop shaking me..." Kirito had a habit of grabbing his head and shaking it whenever he got excited, which gave him a headache.

  On the side, Asuna watched Yui single-handedly defeat the BOSS, her beautiful eyes filled with a proud expression.

  Keita noticed Asuna's expression and secretly smiled in his heart.

  On the other hand, seeing that BOSS was knocked down by himself, Yagumo Taro directly fell to the ground and kicked BOSS's body hard, kicking BOSS who had crawled halfway back up into the sky.

  "Cheers!!"

  He put away the folding fan, and with a leap of his body, he jumped into the air, higher than the BOSS. His fists, like heavy hammers, smashed into the BOSS's abdomen, once again slamming it to the ground!

  Then, Yiyun Mo continued to repeat this action, kicking the BOSS into the sky and then jumping up himself to smash it down. This kind of fierce and brutal attack method made the other players on the side excited and boiling with enthusiasm!

  From start to finish, BOSS never had a chance to launch an effective attack!

  Suddenly, the BOSS who was kicked into mid-air again emitted a pink glow all over his body, apparently White's charm had taken effect!

  "Opportunity!"

  With a "pop", the folding fan was opened, and Yún Mò's figure flickered as he transformed into a flowing light that began to dance around the massive body of the BOSS!

  In the blink of an eye, countless red wounds appeared on BOSS's body!

  In SAO, although monsters and players who are attacked will have wounds on their bodies, they do not bleed like in reality, instead a red light effect is used.

  So you see, even in District 11, it's still the territory of the River Crab God Beast, right?

  Cough cough, don't count what I just said.

  Before the pink glow representing being charmed disappeared from BOSS's body, the entire huge body was already covered with red glows representing injuries!

  "The stars have fallen!!"

  Yakumo Tsurugi finally revealed his true form, gazing down at the BOSS as his body began to spin rapidly. Countless curved auras, like stars in the sky, struck the BOSS with great force!

  This strike of starfall is inspired by the unique attack mode of Gensokyo - Danmaku, a special skill created by Yakumo Yukari herself!

  In the original work, Kirito's Dual Blades skill was a unique skill, but it was still designed by Kawahara Reki in advance. However, Yui's Stardust is completely created by herself!

  Taking advantage of the demon's relatively strong soul intensity and control over his body compared to ordinary humans, Yagumo Taro finally broke through some of the system's restrictions on himself one day, creating "Stardust Fall"!

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!"

  All the players couldn't help but raise their hands to block the strong wind that was coming, and their ears were ringing with deafening roars.

  "This guy is even stronger than before......" Kirito thought to himself with a wry smile, originally still having the intention of competing with Yui Mei, but now it seems he's overestimated himself, "Not good! Fall back!! Fall back!!"

  Yun Mo's body spun faster and faster, the air currents emitted by the folding fan in his hand grew stronger and stronger, covering the sky and earth. Not only did it completely envelop the BOSS's massive body, but it also affected the surrounding area!

  The spectators were shocked, as there was no such setting as "friendly fire immunity" in SAO! After all, the game's setting was a world of swords and knives, with no magic, so there were no large-scale killing skills, and naturally, the game settings did not consider friendly fire immunity.

  Who would have thought that someone like Ba Yun Mo, who broke through the system's limitations, would appear? The endless aura in the sky seemed to be infinite, and the visual impact on these ordinary players, even elite players, was absolutely huge!

  Finally, after a whole day of roaring sounds, the four HP slots of the BOSS that had not launched an effective attack from start to finish were finally cleared to zero!

  "Congratulations on obtaining the unique prop - Holy Crystal of Resurrection!"

  Falling back to the ground, stroking the white, soft fur that had jumped onto his shoulder and was rubbing against his cheek, Hachirou Moku gazed at the tool in his hand.

  Resurrection Holy Crystal - Unique equipment, can be used on players who have died within 10 seconds to revive them!

  After taking a glance at the description of the resurrection prop, Yagumo Taro directly turned around and threw it to Aisena who was standing by in a daze.

  "Ah!"

  Asuna stared blankly at the revival item that had fallen into her arms, and suddenly felt as if she were in a dream.

  Did I... really get the resurrection tool that easily?

  Asahina looked at Yagumo again and then at the sacred crystal in her arms, which was emitting a soft glow. She blinked her eyes, her face full of incredulity.

  "You're really giving it to me just like that?"

  Yun Mo said with a smile: "What's the point of giving it to you? Anyway, this thing is useless to me too."

  After finishing speaking, Bachyun Mo directly turned around and slowly left, his figure disappearing into the wind and snow.

  The crowd's eyes were fixed on the revival artifact in Asuna's arms, and the army and Holy Dragon Alliance members tried to take it by force several times. However, they were deterred by the Blood Knights and Eugeo, who were watching them warily, and Kirito, and ultimately left with a bitter expression.

  "Yo! Vice Commander Asuna-sama." Keita stepped forward, winking at Asuna, "This time you owe Yagumo a huge favor!"

  After hearing Keita's words, Asuna lowered her head and looked at the Resurrection Stone, her pretty face growing redder and redder as she remained silent for a long time.
