On the seventy-fourth floor of "Aincrad", in the boss room surrounded by torches burning with blue flames, three teams that had discussed their tactics were attacking him.
With gorgeous steps, she dodged the slashes from the floor boss "The Gleam Eyes". The chestnut-haired girl's rapier shone with silver light, and the super-high sword speed continued to flash on her waist.
For Asuna, who has already mastered the use of this skill, this move can also be said to be her famous stunt.
Facing the fierce attack of the rapier, the boss roared angrily and swept the heavy sword down again.
"'Sitch'! Liz!"
Asuna, who was stiff when entering the attack, did not panic and calmly recovered her body. At the same time, Lisbeth, who was well prepared, was already blocking the front.
"Understood! Don't underestimate the blacksmith's hammer and body!"
The body sank suddenly under the heavy blow, but the pink-haired blacksmith still used the shield he made to steadily receive the boss's heavy blow.
Seizing this gap, Suguha who sheathed the sword and Aiko who performed the sudden sword skill appeared on both sides of the boss's lower body at the same time.
"Drink ahhhh——!"
——The top ten single-handed sword skills "Rising Star Ascension" and the special skill "Tachi", the unique skill "Drawing the Sword Technique".
A strong sword light flashed and was completely hit by the attacks of the two men. The blood bar of the monster with a goat's head and a snake's tail began to drop crazily, and its lower body fell backwards unbalanced.
…
"Hey, hey, is it true..."
After receiving Silica's treatment at the back, Klein swallowed his saliva and stared at the girls showing off their power in shock.
As the first echelon of teams to attack the boss, now is the time for them to accept recovery.
I was originally worried that these girls would not be able to support themselves as the second tier of takeovers, but don’t they need to intervene at all?
"...Klein, didn't you know? Their guild is one of the few guilds that can defeat the floor boss alone."
As the main force of the last wave of attacks, Kirito, who was directing his team members to prepare, smiled bitterly.
He originally thought that these girls would not be able to adapt to Yuuki's absence, but he didn't expect that it was entirely because he was overthinking it.
"Ahem——?! Is there such a thing?? As a member of the "Arcadia" bodyguard, I really neglected my duty!!"
Klein, who was distressed in a strange place, held his head as if in pain.
"The [Arcadia] Guards...I'm talking about you..."
Twitching the corners of his mouth, Kirito noticed that there seemed to be more and more members in this strange organization.
According to his secret investigation, the source of this organization seems to be a certain knight from the "Holy Dragon Alliance"...
(Ha... now is not the time to think about such nonsense.)
Adjusting his breathing, Kirito equipped his second sword.
The reason why the Blood Alliance Knights are called the strongest guild is precisely because of the existence of their leader and deputy leader.
"Two Sword Style" Kirito and "Holy Sword" Heathcliff are two users of unique skills.
After looking at the second sword in his hand, the black-haired swordsman, who was the deputy leader of the blood alliance, spoke calmly.
——The first floor of "Aincrad", deep in the underground labyrinth of "Black Iron Palace".
The huge scythe made a roaring sound as it struck the ground. Avoiding the flying gravel, Yuuki turned around and slashed towards the God of Death, using the rock as a stepping stone.
The eyeballs began to turn upward at a terrifying rate, and the Death God boss actually blocked Yuuki's one-handed sword skill with only his right hand.
"cut."
The girl with the sword who stepped away before being hit by the scythe again and fell to the ground gradually became serious.
(As expected of a boss-level monster above level 90, it’s really too difficult to fight with ordinary methods...)
This kind of intensity is completely different from the previous boss-level bosses.
(In this case, as expected, there is only...)
Looking at the sickle falling from the sky, Yuuki made a decision.
"no--!!!!"
(——!)
But before the Absolute Sword Girl could enter the unified state again, Yui, who had regained consciousness at some point, had already rushed up from behind and stopped the Death God's attack with the purple shield of "Immortal Object (Undestructible)".
"Yui!"
I shouted out the little girl's name in surprise. Could it be that the memory has been restored?!
She glanced at Yuuki with some nostalgia, Yui's eyes were no longer confused and she lightly opened her small lips.
"sorry for bothering you………"
"Miss Yuuki..."
After saying what seemed like a farewell, Yui, who looked serious, stretched out her right hand. Flames that should not have appeared gathered in her hand, and at the same time, something began to brew.
"..."
"What did you say suddenly..."
A small palm pressed on Yui's little head, causing her movements to stagnate slightly.
"Didn't I tell you before?"
"'Even if you recover your memory, you don't have to do anything.'"
"——?!"
Turning her head to look at the Jue Sword girl beside her, the little girl slightly opened her eyes with tears.
"Let's go to the safe area next to you and take a rest. If you have any questions, we can have a good chat later."
Passing past the little girl, Yuuki, whose hair was dyed golden again, walked to the Shinigami who had just been ejected.
"I've kept you waiting for so long, let's start the second round!"
He raised his lips towards the Death God boss, and the sword shone with an incomparable light.
As the floor boss with a sheep's head and a snake's tail exploded into pieces, a dialog box congratulating everyone for completing the 74th floor also appeared in front of everyone.
Amid the cheers, Klein patted Kirito's shoulder hard.
“As expected, it’s still so awesome no matter how many times I watch it! It’s called ‘Star burst stream’, right?!”
"Ah ha ha……"
Putting on an expression that really couldn't stand it, Kirito huddled his shoulders.
Although this is not the first time to use "Two Sword Style", in the eyes of ordinary players, this skill is completely like a bug in this game.
…
"Hey, Leafa, who do you think is more powerful, Yuuki or your brother?"
Resisting her own hammer, the blacksmith girl looked at the boy surrounded by Klein and the others, and asked Suguha in a somewhat sinister tone.
"well?"
Suddenly asked this question, Suguha looked at his brother and then at Aiko who was standing beside him.
"...Hmph, do you still need to ask this kind of question? Of course that idiot is even more powerful!"
She glanced angrily at Lisbeth who was smiling evilly, and Suguha answered very smartly.
"Yeah--"
Lisbeth, who deliberately prolonged her tone and wanted to 'make trouble', was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
And now, none of them thought that today's joking question would get the answer so quickly. (To be continued)
