Maxim watched the imperial dragon Verustila's last HP drop to yellow, and began to feel nervous.
When the boss's HP turns yellow or red, the probability of using extremely violent attacks is very high. When I first tried to kill the boss, several times I sacrificed my comrades at this stage due to rash attacks or misjudgment of the attack mode.
He ordered everyone to retreat to a distance where they could safely avoid long-range attacks, and watched Verustila summon a Blue Dragon Sword out of thin air after all the spears inserted into his body collapsed in an instant.
Seeing the style of the broadsword, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sao is quite fair and rigid in terms of weapons. Since she has taken out such a weapon, the attack skills she can use should be the same as the player's sword. At most, she has her own special attributes and stronger attack power.
.
Sometimes there are monsters and human hostile NPCs in SAO who have weapons and armor similar to those of players. Players can even seize those weapons and armor and use them. Although they have no potential value, they can also be sold or remade, which can also be counted as income for frontline players.
A small part of the source that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, the methods of dealing with the skills related to all currently known weapons have been practiced to the extreme. Compared with dealing with monsters that exert their destructive power wantonly, dealing with this type is easier.
"Д, Е, Ж, З come forward, pay attention to the starting position of the straight-line long-range direct slashing sword skills and the sweeping attack!"
The imperial dragon Verustila, who had transformed into a human form, raised his sword and spun it at high speed, sweeping across it!
"Д, Team Е, block!"
This kind of sword skill can be easily resisted by using the combo method that easily knocked it away before.
However, at the moment when rows of weapons with sword skills and light effects resisted the broadsword that swept forward and burst out with scorching light, both teams were set on fire!
Although the other teams followed the tactics and immediately attacked the imperial dragon Verustila from the other side to turn the hatred value away, the flames on everyone in the Д and Е teams did not disappear.
Maxim noticed that there was a flame-shaped abnormal status icon next to their HP gauges.
It seems to be an abnormal state that continuously consumes HP like poisoning. It will also "contact spread" and spread to other people, and the consumption rate is very high! Even for players with higher HP, it may take less than ten seconds to go from full HP to zero.
Second!
Without his order, they all used crystals one after another, namely recovery crystals and purification crystals, and were able to escape the crisis.
Two people directly took out the transfer crystals and left the battlefield to return to the circle to eliminate the damage. This was the default rule among them. If they really couldn't use two crystals in time, or they had no items to restore, they would not have time to wait for teammates to support them.
, is allowed to escape. The way of training and using the army here is different from that in the outside world. Even excluding most ordinary players, although soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, now not only those who have both high game and military skills are dying one by one,
It's not even worth sacrificing yourself in a battle against an NPC.
"Everyone disperse!" Maxim ordered hurriedly, thinking about what to do next.
If there is such a troublesome abnormal state, coupled with its movement speed, the team is simply seeking death when they get together. Each person needs two crystals to offset the damage. No matter how wealthy you are, you can't afford it, but Emperor Dragon Verus
Tira's attack cannot be resisted by one person.
Spreading out like this can at least ensure avoidance and avoid the spread of the burning abnormality. The player who was hit can save the day by using crystal props immediately, but this only reduces the loss of the props after being hit.
Watching the figure with the flaming sword light rampaging through the team, from time to time teammates who couldn't hold on were forced to use transfer crystals to escape. Although the Imperial Dragon Velustila was not unattacked, and its HP also slowly dropped.
But as her HP dropped, her speed and attack frequency increased. If this continued, she might not be able to maintain the number of people enough to attack her sooner or later. Maxim was worried.
Is it better to mobilize external security and backup manpower from outside the door for reinforcements, or is it better to retreat in time to stop losses while there are still plenty of crystal items?
He glanced at Krampis, who was constantly aiming at the imperial dragon Velustira to prepare magic, but due to too many teammates acting as obstacles, he could not cast it easily - even so, the sporadic damage began to exceed the player's output.
Noticing Krampis who seemed to have a troubled look on his face and the question mark cursor that represented information that could be obtained through dialogue appearing on his head, he felt cruel and walked away.
But before that, the imperial dragon Velustra stared at her and charged at her with his sword.
Krampis's hand that was maintaining the attack on the magic circle trembled for a moment, then she finally put it down and raised her other hand. The phantom of a big tree with a canopy covering the ceiling appeared around her, and a drop of dew dropped from the leaves.
The bead that fell into her hand turned into a solid glass bead-sized bead, emitting a soft light and floating towards the imperial dragon Verustila.
Just when most people, including Maxim, breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was time to enter the plot animation mode——
The imperial dragon Verustila suddenly swung his sword in the air. It seemed like this, but a wind blade burst out, cutting off the tree trunk and Krampis's raised right arm!
"Danger!" Maxim subconsciously pounced forward, and when the thrusting sword was about to hit Krampis, he threw her down and rolled her several times, out of the slashing range of the imperial dragon Velustila.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry to trouble you, all warriors."
"What should we do now!" Maxim asked hurriedly.
"The power of the Holy Tree can no longer be condensed... That is the only thing... It is still too late to escape now. At least, I must make an end."
Krampis pushed Maxim away, summoned a sword of light, and rushed forward to fight the imperial dragon Velustila.
Maxim started thinking when a team leader came over and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, maybe I can't get the mission reward, but while they are entangled, now is a good opportunity to kill the boss to get experience points and drops! If they exchange
When the damage is done to the end, the remaining HP is low enough, and we can consider killing them all together."
Indeed, when the two "people" fought in close combat, Krampis was the one with a stable power but consumed significantly more HP. If it were an ordinary RPG, this would have been a cutscene leading to the bad ending of the mission where they were about to die together.
But they spent a lot of time to find out that as long as they are not in the circle, NPCs who go through other tasks can be killed and get experience points and drops. This will also cause some adverse effects.
For example, a team of players accepts a task of collecting materials from a village in a village outside the circle. The reward is money, but during the task another team of players comes and slaughters the village, or loots all the money. The village will be depleted due to loss of people or money.
Unable to pay the remuneration, the mission was terminated.
