Crownpis felt a little embarrassed that her own army could not support her at the right time.
But it was nothing more than an embarrassment, and it was harmless. Crounpis thought that she could crush Kirito's team at the current BOSS stage, and let out a good sigh of relief.
Of course, Kirito and his team don't seem to have given up. Kirito himself already has the ability to defeat BOSS with a low AI level alone. If it is a normal group BOSS battle, let a small number of teammates draw hatred and escape to delay time, and the others can gather together to surround and kill them.
It’s also a tactic, but——
If Yin Feniya forcefully proposes a "four-on-four duel", there will be no chance.
"Well, if little Stella responds, then she is better than thousands of armies," Crownpis confirmed that Velustila was running towards her and said, "Then my daughter and I will—"
"[The Forbidden One], prohibits mom from having any state other than being bound."
"?! [Forbidden One] can be used?" Crounpisi couldn't move, and a bound status icon appeared on the right side of the HP gauge.
The bound state can be said to be one of the most terrifying abnormal conditions that hinder movement. Like paralysis and dizziness, you can barely move. It can also be solved by taking drugs and crystals. There are also ways to remove petrification and freezing, but being bound is by no means bound.
It sounds so simple, but it is a terrifying state like being imprisoned in a static space of time but can still be killed by the outside world.
"I'm sorry, Mom. However, Mom was beaten into such an injured state by them, and it is impossible to realize her long-cherished wish from ancient times. If Mom continues to show off like this, she will only destroy everything she wants to create with her own hands.
I'm sorry. Mom, I'm sorry..."
Crownpis secretly asked her daughter what the hell she was doing. It is true that the current situation is definitely doomed, but it is the player's task to solve this branch of the problem, right?
It is a SA strategy adventure game, not a visual novel game like ADV where you only need to select dialogue options to continue fighting.
What Crownpis hopes to achieve is branch 2 or branch 4. Branch 2 is safe, and branch 4 can increase the fun. Verustila is a good and filial daughter in this sense. I don’t believe that Kirito and his team can take her.
My mother cut down to a quarter of the blood, so she took action herself.
"[Sparks of Fire Lighting the Sky]." Verustira leaned down slightly, and the Green Dragon Sword behind him burst into flames. Then, he lifted it up, slashed vertically, slashed diagonally, slashed horizontally, and slashed with cassocks. It was almost like a crooked painting.
The five-pointed star scar penetrated Crounpisi's body, and then flames erupted from the inside out.
"[Cluster Storm]." She then drew out the Blue Dragon Sword and turned around. The moment her cloak and clothes were raised, a very small whirlwind that wrapped around one person but was like a strangulation array surrounded Crounpith.
It rolled up flames and overflowed from the body. The wind assisted the fire and caused more terrible damage to Crounpith than the superposition of a knowing blow and a critical strike.
Crounpisi's HP dropped rapidly. When there were only two tubes of HP left, Velustila took a deep breath and exhaled a breath of [Frost Breath] to disperse the fire and storm.
Verustila lifted the [Forbidden One], carried Crounpisi, who was frozen into ice due to his failure to resist, to the altar inlaid with six secret keys, and turned his back to the others and said:
"I will lead the 'earth cutting' ceremony next. You can go. If you want to see it to the end, don't disturb me. If you refuse, be prepared to die."
Fabritis and Yin Fonia looked at each other, shrugged, raised their hands, and summoned vines of blue roses and purple morning glories to turn into a fence with an anti-injury effect, separating the two sides.
……………………………………………………
Kirito looked at the vines in front of him that he should be able to cut with his sword skills, thought about it, and put away his sword.
As a result, several people who originally had hostile red cursors turned yellow.
"Kirito-kun, what do you think of this development?" Asuna asked.
"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that they...or SAO itself prefers to reach branch 4, right? In fact, as long as the branch that does not directly kill some people is activated, if we do not consider the benefits of experience points and monetary props, we really have nothing to do
Reasons to continue fighting." Kirito said.
In any case, killing humanoids is still quite objectionable to ordinary people in civilized societies.
"What I care more about is the legend that completing the 'earth cutting' will cause the human spell to completely disappear, and how true it is." He added.
Currently, SAO has many effects that are not interpreted as magic but are magical in any way, such as various buffs, tedious work steps that player craftsmen can complete with one click, boundaries inside and outside the town circle and maze safe zones that monsters cannot directly cross, etc.
SAO residents interpreted this as a remnant of the spell.
Of course, the most important ones are the [Fantasy Book Art] which is equivalent to the system menu item bar, equipment bar, task bar, etc. and the [Far Book Art] function of adding friends and sending and receiving messages. Some NPCs also have similar things.
If "earth cutting" is achieved, how much of the above things will disappear? How much inconvenience will it cause to players?
If you can't store items, change equipment, or even check your own health, then unless you are a true warrior, you will not be able to fight as an ordinary player, right?
"It's not good, brother. This - I was just about to confirm the progress of the mission, this -" Leafa suddenly panicked.
Kirito and Asuna immediately opened the system menu to check.
Asuna had the same reaction, saying that the equipment bar, skill bar, task bar and message sending and receiving window began to appear garbled.
Kirito was confused for a moment. His system menu was still fine. To be precise, the system menu he had changed the UI design on his own was fine. In other words, the old version of the menu was about to disappear?
Yui expressed her affirmation after searching.
"Hey," Kirito lowered his voice as much as possible to avoid disturbing the altar and shouted to Fabrizio who was controlling the vines not far away, "Miss Fabrizio, the effect of the 'Earth Cut off' spell on us
To what extent will it go?"
The other party raised his eyebrows, pointed at himself and said unhappily: "Have I introduced myself to you? Do you recognize the difference between me and Yin Fu?"
When Kirito secretly wondered how to respond when your name lit up above your head, Fabrizio shrugged her shoulders and said: "As expected, your spell version [Phantom Book of Art] and our magic version [Phantom Book of Art]
The technique is different, and it is too convenient. Just ordinary sight and conversation, as well as touching objects, may reveal a lot of private information."
"This... I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter, these will disappear soon anyway. Well, the [Phantom Book Technique], [Distant Book Technique] and [Distant Word Technique] that you compiled yourself are already in the category of magic, so you can keep them."
