I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes

It's obviously just a virtual body... but this kind of fighting spirit——

The tauren BOSS raised his hammer high and struck Gil hard.

"Crack..."

It was the sound of metal boots scraping against gravel.

Jill braked suddenly and stopped just outside the BOSS's attack range.

Then, Jill's speed increased again.

"Soul Flash·One Star!" It was obviously a sword skill, but it looked so pleasing to the eye. It left a wound on the BOSS's body and the BOSS's health bar also dropped.

"Hey, the skin is really hard - Soul Flash·Chasing the Moon!" The sword skill that drew a crescent-like mark in mid-air once again left a huge red mark on the BOSS.

The BOSS's first health bar obviously fluctuated, disappearing by about 30%.

"What kind of attack power is that..." Kirito smacked his lips as he paid attention to the situation here, but considering that the opponent had even killed the BOSS in the wild instantly, he just felt that this kind of attack power was not excessive.

The BOSS in front of you has five health bars.

Moreover, it can also cause debuffs such as "paralysis" and "dizziness" to people, not to mention the uncertainty of the information in front of them.

Even so, Jill rushed forward.

"That movement is almost like dancing with a sword..." Diabel and the others still kept a certain distance from Gil in that direction, but it was not difficult to observe Gil's state.

"Pfft!" Huge slashes fell on the BOSS one after another, constantly reducing the BOSS's health bar.

The all-knowing and all-powerful star perfectly predicts the BOSS's attacks again and again. Gil has been fighting the BOSS for so long, but his health bar has not decreased at all.

"It's just like turning on a plug-in." Kibaou commented. This man who looked a little wretched had serious eyes at this time. "However, it is impossible for a plug-in to appear in SAO. We can only say that he is attacking the BOSS." The rhythm is very...familiar?"

"No... I feel like it's more like a prediction..." Diabell looked at the BOSS warily. He naturally knew how difficult this BOSS was.

"Ha!" Gil slashed out with his sword again, and two of the BOSS's health bars had disappeared.

"...The health bar is wrong, and it's a little brittle..." Gil frowned, "This guy...is weird..."

"Then there's no need to hold back..." Gil rushed out and slashed out with his sword, "Soul Flash·Full Moon!"

Yuanyue's circular slash cut off the BOSS's third health bar, which was about 25%, in one stroke. Gil gritted his teeth.

Is this guy's health bar so thick?

"Be prepared. If he fails to hold up, we will attack him." Diabel looked at Gill who was challenging the majestic BOSS on his own and said.

"But Diabell..." a black-haired man next to Diabell asked, "He is like this..."

"Pay attention to the BOSS's attack rhythm, as well as his advance and retreat rhythm. We will follow this rhythm to deal with the BOSS later," Diabell said.

"...Okay." The man next to Diabel nodded and agreed to Diabel's proposal.

At this moment, Diabell was still thinking about what Gil said before he opened the door to the BOSS room.

"Is it really possible to challenge the BOSS alone?" Diabell looked at Gil closely, "Let me see it."

Soon, the BOSS's health bar gradually bottomed out. When the third bar was shattered, Gill raised his alarm directly.

"... Huh..." The feeling on Jill's body gradually changed from the stormy sea to a calm stream.

But this doesn't mean that Gil's attack power has become weaker.

The Shinigami, which has been strengthened to +16, has been strengthened by Gil ten times in sharpness, and the remaining enhancements are all in durability.

The sharpness is strengthened, which means the attack power is strengthened. However, the full moon, which ignores 80% of the defense, can only scrape off a quarter of the BOSS's health bar. It can be seen that the Minotaur General's health bar is How thick...

"...General?" Gil's gaze shifted to the tauren's head.

ID is General...

Jill's face darkened.

This BOSS is not the guardian BOSS of this level at all!

The BOSS on the first floor is the King of Kobolds...but on this floor, why is it only the general who serves as the guardian BOSS?Although this general is stronger than the King of Kobolds, the feeling of dissonance... is too heavy!

Gil immediately retreated, and then Diabel and the others quickly pressed forward.

Then, Gil began to look for the anomaly he wanted to find.

"Where...? Where?!" Jill looked around.

Soon, he noticed...

There was no way not to notice it, because that location made the most easily detectable noise.

The entire BOSS room is laid out like an arena.

And there is the center of the arena...

The blue-black stone is carved with a relief of a cow, laid out in concentric circles...

The stone shaking began.

The stone slab depicting the triple circle slowly increased in speed and began to slide counterclockwise.

The stone gradually rose from the ground, and soon three flights of stairs were formed.

The background above gradually became distorted.

That effect is a precursor to the huge objects spawning in SAO.

Then, a huge figure appeared.

The figure gradually transformed into a human form, and its legs like thick tree trunks slowly fell to the ground.Although he wore a shiny black chainmail around his waist, his upper body was still unclothed.

A curvy beard hung down near his abdomen.Of course, the head is also a cow, but it actually has six horns, and a circular ornament made of platinum in the middle... which is the shining crown.

The black body that looked like it was smeared with ink shook, and the third and largest tauren let out a roar that shook the earth.It was probably just a simple appearance effect. Lightning strikes continued to fall around the Minotaur Man, illuminating the square brightly.

Gil gritted his teeth and stared at the six sections of HP bar and the text below——

[Asterios The Taurus King] (King of Taurus)

Chapter 19 The real BOSS battle begins!

Gil wasn't the only one to notice the change in the center of the arena.

Kirito, who was fighting a monster in the BOSS's vanguard on the other side, also saw this scene.

"Oops..." Kirito gritted his teeth, "Is that... the final gatekeeper BOSS on the second floor?!"

Gil looked at the BOSS he had dealt with before. He still had two health points, and the penultimate health bar had turned red.

"..." Jill bit her lip.

……Oops……

The condition for this BOSS to appear is that the last HP of the guy Gil just dealt with turns yellow.At this time, the real floor BOSS will be spawned - the dark minotaur, the King of Taurus.

"Deal with those two bosses quickly, quickly!" Gil couldn't think so much at this time. He clenched the sword in his hand and rushed directly to the boss he had just dealt with.

At this moment, the last health bar of the Minotaur BOSS only had 30% left.

"Soul Flash——" Gil's speed increased to the limit, "Full Moon!"

With one blow, the Minotaur BOSS's health bar dropped almost to the bottom in an instant.

Diabell also rushed forward quickly, adding LA (Last attack) to make the Minotaur BOSS turn into countless red chips and disappear.

On the other side, Kirito and the others also successfully eliminated the tauren who was on the same level as the middle BOSS in the wild.

At this point, the two mini-BOSSs were eliminated.

Immediately afterwards, a change occurred.

The King of Dark Taurus leaned his entire upper body back, and his strong body swelled like a wine barrel.

Jill's pupils shrank.

Long range attack! ?

Then, Jill's vision was dyed pure white.

What followed was a dry pounding sound like thunder in Jill's ears.

The breath of the King of Taurus is neither poison nor fire, but thunder.

"Is it time to complain... A tauren wants to cosplay a lizard and play breath or something..." Gil slowly stood up.

He was lucky enough not to take the DEBUFF, so his HP only dropped a little.

In SAO, there are no attack, recovery, or support magics.

But that doesn’t mean that all magical elements have been eliminated.

For example, there are many magic props that can obtain various BUFF effects such as status improvement as long as they are equipped on the body.

However, these extraordinary powers don't just help players.

Rather, there are many situations that hinder players.

Many monsters in SAO, especially BOSS, have special skills.The breath of poison, fire, ice, and thunder is its representative.

Among breath attacks, the one with the highest direct attack power is fire, but lightning strikes are by no means trivial.

The first is the ultra-fast speed of lightning strikes, which can reach the farthest range in a short time after launch.

There is also a high probability that you will be dizzy after being hit.And depending on the situation, it may cause a more dangerous DEBUFF - dizziness or paralysis.

If it's just dizziness, it's just a minor matter, because the debuff of dizziness doesn't last long, only three seconds at most.

The real trouble is paralysis.

Paralysis generally lasts a long time, and unlike stun, paralysis does not resolve after a few seconds.Although it is not a permanent effect, it takes 5 minutes for the weakest paralysis effect to disappear...that is, [-] seconds.

Moreover, according to the record in the strategy book that Gill holds in his hand, the BOSS's attacks carry DEBUFF, and if he is hit by consecutive DEBUFFs, he will also be paralyzed.

"The difficulty in defeating this BOSS lies in dodging..." Gil glanced around.

There were more than a dozen players involved in this breath. Gill glanced at their positions, and they were all in front of him.

And the worst part was that the team leaders, Diabell and Kibaou, were both hit by the breath at the same time and fell into paralysis, unable to give instructions to their teammates.

"It has to be like this." Gil shouted, "Kirito, I'll leave the rest to you!"
