I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes

"Then, everyone, come with me." After Heathcliff looked at everyone, his eyes paused on Jill at the back of the team. Heathcliff turned over his red clothes and walked into the blue light. Stepped in.

His figure was instantly surrounded by dazzling flashes of light and then disappeared.Four members of the Blood Alliance Knights immediately followed him in.

I don’t know when it started, but many players gathered around the transfer gate square.He must have heard about the boss battle and came to see the members of the team off.

Amid the excited shouts, the swordsmen jumped into the Corridor of Light one after another and moved towards their destination.

In the end, the only ones left were Kirito, Asuna, and Gil.

Kirito and Asuna looked at each other and nodded slightly, holding hands, and jumped into the vortex of light at the same time.

Gil also jumped into the whirlpool. After experiencing a transference similar to a slight dizziness, when he opened his eyes, Gil was already in the maze.

Here is a fairly wide corridor.Thick pillars line the walls, and a huge door can be seen in the front.

This is exactly where Jill left this morning.That is, in front of the door of the guard BOSS's room on the 75th floor.

The No.70 five-story maze area is made of obsidian-like, transparent stone.

Unlike the roughly cut and uneven surface of the lower labyrinth, the floor here is made of black stone polished like a mirror in a straight line.

The air near this corridor is cold and humid, and there is a light mist slowly surrounding the ground.

Jill felt a little cold, wrapped her coat around her body, and her eyes became serious.

This battle will definitely be extremely difficult.Gil raised his hand and checked the equipment.

The armor and weapons have been strengthened to the highest level, and the second knife with special properties is also ready... Then he touched the bag on his thigh.

It contains potions, including purification potions and life potions, and they are all top-notch potions made by Gill's alchemist.

Gil clasped the blade at his waist with his left hand, and the expression on his face became serious.

After Heathcliff materialized the cross shield in the center of the corridor, his whole body shook and the equipment made a sound, and then he said: "Are you ready? There is no information about the boss's attack mode at all this time. Basically, it is our blood alliance. The Knights act as the vanguard to resist the enemy's attack, and then everyone takes this opportunity to recognize its attack pattern and launch a random counterattack against it. Follow Gil-kun's command and dodge the attack."

Everyone nodded silently.

"Then - let's go."

After saying that, Heathcliff walked directly to the obsidian door and placed his right hand in the center of the door.

The door was slowly pushed open, and the cold atmosphere inside cheered Gil up, and his pair of red snake eyes became sharper.

Finally, Heathcliff drew his sword loudly from the inside of the cross shield, raised his right hand and shouted: "The battle begins!"

The interior of the BOSS room is a rather wide dome-shaped space.The arc-shaped walls gradually extended upward, until they curved and came together far above.

When all 33 people entered the room and stood in a natural formation, the door behind them immediately closed with a loud bang.

There should be no way to open this door until the boss dies or the entire strategy team is wiped out.

There was silence among everyone for several seconds.Although I have been paying attention to the wide ground, the leader has not appeared for a long time.

And time passed by second by second as if everyone's nerves were being stretched to the limit.

"Hey -" I don't know who made the unbearable voice, but at this moment...

"Attention above! Everyone, disperse!" Gill made a high-pitched voice.

Gil's words caused the players to raise their heads and look at the top of the room.It was something very large and long.

Centipede—when he saw that figure, Jill only thought of this word.

The total length of that BOSS should be about ten meters.The body composed of many body segments is more reminiscent of a human backbone than an insect.

Next to each gray-white cylindrical segment, a pair of sharp legs with completely exposed bones protrude.After moving forward along the monster's body, one can see a skull with a ferocious face on the gradually thickening front end.And it wasn't a human skull.

The bones twisted into streamlines have two pairs of four eye sockets hanging upwards, with blue flames flashing on the inside.

The entire lower jawbone protruding forward was lined with sharp fangs, and on both sides of the skull there were huge bony arms protruding like a sickle.

After focusing on it, the name of the monster and the yellow arrow are displayed at the same time.

[The Skull reaper]——The Skull reaper.

Under everyone's fearful and silent gaze, the Skeleton Centipede slowly climbed up the ceiling while squirming with countless legs. Suddenly, all its legs stretched out greatly - and fell from right above the team.

Gil's words still had some effect. All the teams had already dispersed, leaving only Gil underneath the huge monster.

Jill kicked her right foot on the ground and left the range.boom!A heavy roar echoed on the ground, and Jill's red eyes became extremely solemn.

Those sharp scythe-like arms may be able to bring a player's HP to zero in an instant.

"Attention, everyone! The heavily armored warriors, pay attention to defense! The rest of you, pay attention to avoidance!" Gill's voice was passionate, "Leave the first blow to me!"

Chapter 36 Or should I call you Kayaba Akihiko?

Gil took the lead and rushed towards the skeleton hunter.

The Skeleton Hunter immediately stared at Gill, let out a sharp roar, and immediately struck with the scythe on the left.

In an instant, a hard blow flashed before Gil's eyes, and his whole body was reduced to pieces.

So he changed his strategy, pushed his right foot on the ground, turned around, avoided the direct attack of the scythe, and then rushed towards the Skeleton Hunter again.

When Gil's tachi slashed at the Skeleton Hunter, causing the opponent's first health bar to drop by less than 4%, Gil smacked his lips and said, "This thing is really hard."

At this time, the scythe on the right side of the Skeleton Hunter also thrust towards Gill.

"Cang!" A clear voice sounded, and Gil noticed that Heathcliff blocked the attack of the scythe on the other side.

Gil calmed down and said, "Attention, everyone! Attack the BOSS from the side, and Heathcliff and I will block the frontal attack!"

This is a BOSS that can only use this combat method.

The two strongest players resist the BOSS's attack, while the remaining players attack head-on.

However, SAO has always had a setting.

That is, in the villages around the maze area, there will always be a mission related to BOSS intelligence.

That kind of mission was something Jill only learned about during the layer-by-layer strategy battle.

Agil, who led the reinforcements that time, explained this matter, and because of this, the second half of the fifty-floor BOSS strategy went much more smoothly.

But this time before the BOSS strategy on the 75th floor, Jill also tried to complete the mission, but without exception, there was no information about the BOSS.

Therefore, Jill does not have specific information about this BOSS.

So, this really sucks.

At this time, the Skeleton Hunter's bone sickle swept across and slashed towards Jill's direction.

Gil withstood this moment, and his health bar dropped a little.

"Tsk!" Gil gritted his teeth and his eyes became serious.

This is a difficult enemy to deal with.

"Stop being so arrogant, you bastard!" Gil suddenly shifted his position and removed the huge power exerted by the scythe.

Then, he ran along the Skeleton Hunter's scythe.

Looking at this scene, Kirito's eyes flashed with surprise as he had witnessed Gill deliver the final blow to the BOSS on the 74th floor.

"Excellent Sword Technique·Breaking Shape·Fierce Spiral Sword Dance!" Gil's attacks struck the Skeleton Hunter's huge skull one after another. Sword No. 16 was the last sword strike. When it hit the Skeleton Hunter's eye socket, the Skeleton Hunter suddenly let out a sharp roar, and his movements became much slower!

Kirito noticed this scene after dodging the Skeleton Hunter's foot attack.

"Gil, eye sockets! That guy's weakness is his eye sockets!" He shouted, reminding Jill.

"I know!" Gil responded loudly. After falling back to the ground, he took another step, jumped up, and dealt a heavy blow to the Skeleton Hunter's eye socket.

The Skeleton Hunter's movements were once again sluggish, and players who were originally within the Skeleton Hunter's attack range quickly retreated to avoid the attack.

Until a second later, the Skeleton Hunter's attack fell to the ground, splashing countless dust.

"Attack! Don't waste this time!"

Gill once again issued an order, and the players once again launched an attack on the Skeleton Hunter.

……

The battle lasted for a full hour.

When this seemingly endless death battle finally came to an end and the giant monster's body was scattered in all directions, no one among the players had the energy to cheer.Some people sat down on the obsidian floor as if they had collapsed, while others were lying on the ground panting violently.

Gil struck the ground with his long sword, his red eyes flashing.

The battle just now might not look like much to others, but to Jill, the physical and energy consumption was considerable.

He reached out and took out a bottle of potion, then unscrewed the cap and drank it.

Watching the blood bar slowly return from yellow to the green safety line, Jill slowly exhaled.

"How many people were sacrificed in total...?" Klein, who was so tired that he squatted on the ground, picked up his head and asked Gil in a hoarse voice.

Agil, who was lying on his back next to Klein with his arms and legs spread out, also turned his face to Gil.

He called up the map with a wave of his right hand and counted the green dots on it.

From the number of people at the time of departure, how many victims have appeared in total.

"...No one was killed." Gil dropped these words.

Probably because of this sentence, the atmosphere in the BOSS room on the 75th floor was not so unbearable.

At this time, Gil realized that Kirito seemed to be making some small moves.

Kirito sprinted with all his strength close to the floor and covered the distance in an instant. The sword in his right hand was spinning while stabbing upward.That one seems to be the one-handed sword's basic charging technique "Rage Stab".

With an astonishing reaction speed, Heathcliff noticed the tip of the sword approaching from the left trailing a light blue flash, and his eyes widened with an expression of astonishment.He immediately raised his left shield and prepared to resist.

However, Kirito's sword changed its trajectory at a sharp angle in the air, grazed the edge of the shield and stabbed Heathcliff in the chest.

Just when Kirito's sword was about to pierce his chest, it hit an invisible wall.A strong impact was transmitted from the sword to Kirito's arm.

The purple flash exploded, and a message displayed between Kirito and Heathcliff was also purple - the color of the system.

"Immortal Object"——

That is, immortal existence.

For players, this is an attribute that is absolutely impossible to possess.

"Kirito, what are you doing-"
