The Advent of the Infinite King

"Chen, why don't you change to a life skill." Asuna suggested.

"Huh? Can you change it?" Xie Chen considered the feasibility. He chose casting because he was interested in swords, so he chose this without much thought.

But casting requires a lot of time to practice. From the beginning to the later stage, the materials required are becoming more and more precious, and the energy spent is also increasing. On the one hand, there will be no results, so it is better to give up.

Xie Chen thought for a while and said, "If you want to change it, let's collect it, it's more convenient."

Asuna's opinion is also the same. Gathering doesn't take much time, and it can be done while hunting and doing tasks.Some special items require a certain level of proficiency in collection before they can obtain specific materials. People like Xie Chen, who have explosive combat power, are not too dangerous, even if there is, but when the time comes to look at things, they will be in front of them. But if you can't get it, isn't it a heartache.

After deciding on this matter, Xie Chen directly threw the casting matter further away. In short, there will be no shortage of casting masters. When the time comes, if there is really a need, just find someone directly.

Xie Chen remembered that Lisbeth was a casting master and had a good relationship with Asuna.

But think about it, what kind of sword he uses now is not much different, not to mention that he still has the blood blade and magic sword, although they are all sealed, they can be used in reality.So, did he get distracted when he chose casting?

Putting this matter aside, Asuna and Xie Chen paid the bill and left the restaurant.

There were no people in the village at night, and the street was quiet. They walked slowly under the dim light and chatted.

The most talked about was about tomorrow's strategy battle. Xie Chen introduced to Asuna the situation of the battle with the first floor guard boss during the beta test, and then talked about other aspects in the middle.

"I met Tia Bellu at that time, he is a nice person." Xie Chen finally said this.

After walking for a short time, the two found a hotel, went straight in and rested, recharging their energy and waiting for tomorrow's battle.

Chapter 44 progress

Xie Chen was lying on the bed, and Asuna was lying on the other side.Maybe it was because she was tired and excited during the day, so she fell asleep not long after she lay down.

Xie Chen stroked her hair lightly, smiling.

Xie Chen opened his property panel with the other hand. It has been more than [-] days since the last time he checked it, and he doesn't know what will change.

Xie Chen rubbed his chin, and the unblocking progress has increased a bit, but some of them are faster and some are slower, which is based on the power of the skills.From the beta test to now, the most is 58. I don't know when it will be finally unblocked.

To Xie Chen's relief, the growth of his combat power did not stop because of the sealing of his skills, and now he has reached 128, which is really gratifying.

Putting the panel away, he naturally saw the crescent moon pendant on his wrist. This thing seemed to be slowly charging, and the red inside had increased a lot, but it was only as much as a thin strand of hair. , the whole length is less than one centimeter.Floating slightly inside.

The energy of this pendant increases even more slowly, and it is related to the level of the monsters he has solved. For stronger ones, the energy obtained from the crescent moon pendant will be slightly more.This made Xie Chen see hope. It must be much easier to recharge after the level is higher. Otherwise, everyone's energy is the same, so the hope of unblocking is really slim.

On December 2022, 12, the forest area on the first floor.

Asuna and Xie Chen walked beside Tia Bellu, discussing the battle plan for a while.Kirito followed along and didn't say much along the way, only asked a few questions at key points and expressed his thoughts.

Although there were only three people in their team this time, they were placed in important positions. Needless to say, Xie Chen's strength is naturally top-notch, and Asuna's strength is also top-notch here. As for Kirito, naturally it will not be so bad where to go.

This time the plan continued the pattern of the last closed beta, and added more manpower to be sure, and re-planned more cautiously in some places.

Xie Chen's team is the tough team, numbered A, responsible for confronting the boss head-on.Regarding this point, Xie Chen has no opinion, and Asuna is the same. Kirito was a little worried, but he quickly adjusted. If he is timid now, how could he become stronger?

The responsibilities of group B are the same. Groups C and D contain the boss from one side, and there is also a group dedicated to dealing with the pro-guards, which is slightly weaker.

The group of people reconfirmed their responsibilities and the entire plan on the road, and arrived at the labyrinth area not long after.After reaching the top floor, Tia Bell led them to the door of a room.

The stone gate was tightly closed, and there were two huge torches shining on both sides of the gate. The withered light shone on everyone's faces, casting shadows on everyone's faces.

A mechanical voice suddenly came to Xie Chen's ear: "Mission: Protect the life of Tia Bellu."

Xie Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly, even if he didn't have a task, he would do it.

Tia Bell stood still in front of the door, then turned around, and said to everyone: "This time, we must win!"

Looking around, seeing the determined expressions on everyone's faces, he smiled slightly, turned around and gently opened the door, "Let's go."

The door was pushed open, and it was dark inside.Tia Bell walked in front, holding his sword and vigilantly watching the movement around him.

All this seems to be no different from last time.The same goes for the people behind, following in cautiously.

A ray of light lit up from the door, and then spread rapidly, and the whole hall suddenly brightened.

The colorful walls, the pillars on both sides and the patterns on the ground all seem familiar.

Xie Chen said in a low voice, "It's exactly the same."

Tia Bell curled his lips slightly: "Yes." In this way, the chance of success is even greater.

The BOSS suddenly jumped, and jumped to the center of the hall with weapons in hand. The guards with long-handled warhammers on both sides also appeared. As soon as they appeared, the BOSS rushed over.

Almost at the same time, Tiabel gave an order, and the offensive battle officially started!

Xie Chen took the lead and rushed to the front. He bypassed the personal guards and directly met the boss's long axe. With a sound of "clank", sparks erupted from the place where the blades joined.

Xie Chen was exhausted and directly swung the long ax away, and Asuna rushed up behind him, taking advantage of the gap to leave a deep scar on the boss's body, and its bottom HP bar dropped significantly.

It was attacked! The BOSS raised its head to the sky and roared, swinging an ax and attacking Asuna.

At this time, group B has reached the position and blocked its offensive. Groups C and D have already arrived at the boss's side as planned, attacking the boss alternately in an orderly manner, and the HP bar of the boss is gradually decreasing.

Then"

Chapter 45 first floor, breakthrough!

There was only the last guard left on one side. Although these players were injured, they were not serious or dangerous.

The battle is developing in an optimistic direction, the guards have been eliminated, and everyone is concentrating on the BOSS.

Tiabello stood behind and looked at the entire field, and he issued a series of concise instructions from his mouth, directing the entire battle to proceed in an orderly manner.

Finally, under the blow of a team member, the boss entered the red blood state!

Everyone's expression is solemn, success or failure is here!When everyone was defending, the BOSS gave a long roar and threw away the long ax and shield. At this time, Tia Bell shouted: "Everyone back down, I'm coming!"

Xie Chen smiled and came.Kirito was puzzled and didn't understand why he did this. According to common sense, they should surround them together.

When Tia Bell activated his sword skills, the BOSS pulled out a huge sword from behind, obviously much bigger than what he played, it was a Nodachi sword!

But at this time, Tia Bell had already rushed over, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Kirito's pupils shrank violently, and before he gave a warning, Xie Chen jumped out from behind him, and directly met the boss bouncing on the pillar. Although it was extremely fast, it still couldn't escape Xie Chen. tracking.

Two figures, one red, one black, one large and one small, quickly fought against each other through the pillars in mid-air, and the sound of "jingling" was endless.

Kirito saw the opportunity and immediately warned, "Jump back quickly! Quick!"

Tia Bellu was already startled by the boss's actions, but later saw Xie Chen's actions, and now he stood still and stared at him.

Awakened by Kirito's voice, he immediately exited the range just now, and looked at Xie Chen who was fighting the boss with lingering fear. If it wasn't him just now, then Tiabel's complexion was really bad, and he almost died. Not good, not to mention that this is because of his own reasons. If he didn't want the special reward for the last blow, he wouldn't have done this kind of behavior. In the final analysis, it was his own selfishness.

Fortunately, Xie Chen is here

The body of the BOSS fell to the ground in midair, causing the entire hall to tremble.

Xie Chen knelt on the boss's body with one knee, and the long sword was deeply inserted into the boss's body. An invisible trace was written on the red blood strip, which cleared to zero after a second.

Xie Chen nimbly drew his sword and jumped down, and at the same time he inserted the long sword into the scabbard at his waist, the huge body of the boss swelled violently behind him, and then suddenly turned into a shattered sheet of light.

At this time, Xie Chen's cloak had fallen off, revealing his face.

At this time, in the eyes of everyone, he is like a powerful swordsman who came out of illusion, his black hair is still fluttering, his handsome face has a careless smile, and the light behind him is drifting away, This picture has been imprinted in everyone's eyes, down to the bottom of their hearts. Even decades later, they still remember how powerful this man in the black cloak was.

Xie Chen walked to Asuna's side and touched her face.Then he turned his head and said to the people who were staring at him closely, "Why, we won, did you not respond?"

Hearing his words, the people who were in a daze reacted.

"We won?" A somewhat uncertain voice sounded, "We won!"

"Great, hahaha, we won!"

"We beat the boss!"

All the people fell into extreme excitement and great joy, and some people ran to Xie Chen's side to thank him and express their admiration at the same time.

Affected by these atmospheres, Xie Chen also smiled faintly. It seems that it feels good?

Tia Bell came over, his face was still a little pale, he said to Xie Chen: "Mr. Xie Chen, thank you, if it wasn't for you, I would"

"Tiabellu, this time you are indeed reckless. You should be careful in the future. After all, the current SAO is not exactly the same as it was in the beta test." Xie Chen said in a low voice.

Tia Belle lowered his head, his tone full of regret: "Yes, you are right. If I hadn't been greedy, I wouldn't have wanted to do this. This time, it was my fault."

"There is nothing wrong with being greedy. Everyone wants to become stronger, but the first thing is to measure one's own ability. Moderate greed can make people stronger. As long as it is not insatiable, there is no problem." Xie Chen patted Tia Bellu on the shoulder , reassured, it would be bad if Tiabell lost confidence and courage and would only blame himself.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with you. On the contrary, it is thanks to you that you can reach the BOSS this time." Turning his head and motioning to Tia Bellu to look at the excited players, "You did not give up these ordinary people, but led them to fight. I can’t do anything.” After all, I am the devil king, and I tend to be dark.

At the same time, Asuna also said: "Yes, Tiabel, you are a very good person, responsible and responsible, this time you led the boss to the boss, so you should be happy That's right."

Hearing their comfort, Tia Bellu's expression improved slightly, and he said: "Thank you, I won't be so impulsive again in the future, nothing is more important than life."

Seeing that he was thinking about it, Xie Chen also smiled slightly: "Okay, now it's your turn to play, talk about the summary statement, and distribute the dropped money and things by the way."
