Welcome to Wanjie Tavern

A silver knight not far away shot the bow and arrow in his hand, and the black arrow was bounced off by the moving shield just as it was about to pierce Mu Mu's body.

"See? This is the enemy we have to face!"

Mumu shouted loudly, like the battle cry of soldiers on the battlefield, awakened Kirito and Asuna who were surprised by the scene in front of them.

"See? Don't be infected by the abyss, if you want to become walking dead."

He stretched out his hand and knocked off the helmet of a silver knight who rushed up. The chain mail hood wrapped in the cup, as if it had been air-dried for an unknown number of years, was exposed in front of the two players.

This is different from the monsters he faced before. The enemy is no longer an NPC who can see the blood bar, but a terrifying enemy that must be fought with all his strength in order to remove and destroy it.

"Praise the sun!"

With the long sword of Iluziel in his hand, he wanted to fly into the air, and shouted the slogan of the Sun Knight, Mumu raised the shield in his hand, and rushed towards the surrounding silver knights.

----

Heathcliff came alone to the plain where the silver knights appeared, but this time, Heathcliff did not find too many silver knights and those monsters that seemed human but not human wandering on the grassland.

The monster NPCs that originally appeared on this grassland should be monsters similar to tauren. They are equipped with some crude weapons and simple leather armor at most, but because the power value is set quite large The reason, the damage that these monsters can cause, unless it is a top tank player, otherwise, no player can take their attack hard.

Heathcliff found a somewhat rudimentary tauren village settlement, but in the settlement, apart from the empty tents and the soup pot that was always dropped on the bonfire as a fixed scene, Heathcliff did not find anything else. NPCs exist.

Even if the settlement was emptied by the players, a new batch of tauren would be refreshed after about 24 hours.

"What is this?"

Heathcliff noticed some black grime staining the exterior of one tent.

In Heathcliff's vision, there will be no substance like viscous oil in Aincrave, and as an administrator, he finds that he can't identify it. What are these substances.

It's something that doesn't exist in the game Akihiko Kayaba designed, it doesn't consist of code.

Heathcliff would not rashly touch something he didn't know the origin of, so the moment he stretched out his hand to touch the filth, Heathcliff stopped his movements.

It was as if something was urging him to get in touch with this thing in his ear.

"Administrator orders to delete tauren settlements in this area."

Following the administrator's order, the loyal program began to eliminate the monster refresh points in this area, and as the tents around them turned into blue data and disappeared, the black filth also dissipated with you along with the data. .

"Is it still under control?"

If the data corresponding to these filth cannot be detected, then it is only necessary to delete all the nearby areas.

By some accident, Heathcliff can be said to have found the best solution to eliminate the abyss.

Heathcliff, who started looking for the silver knights again, continued to walk on the plain. Just like the filth that didn't know its origin, Heathcliff didn't get the data of the silver knights from the huge data. turn up.

Heathcliff, who could only move forward on foot, found himself surrounded by a sudden silver mist.

"Did it trigger some transfer trap?"

Heathcliff muttered to himself, but he was sure that he hadn't come into contact with anything. Apart from monsters and trap boxes that might exist in monster settlements, there were no other traps that could be transferred in this grassland. is placed here.

The silver mist around him dissipated, and Heathcliff looked around and found that he seemed to be in a huge ring arena.

And not far in front of him, there is a humanoid monster with slender limbs and a pustule-like monster behind it.

"It seems that if I get rid of you, I can get out of here?"

The cross sword was drawn from the shield in his left hand, and Heathcliff, who raised his large shield, stared at the enemy in front of him who had discovered him.

Fuck, I figured it out, according to the workload of four people in our group, we need to draw 33 pictures each day to hand in the 3-minute short film before October [-]st.

Damn what an outrageous school, school started for a week and said that it will be closed at the end of this month, I really feel like giving him a few knives.

Chapter 85-Abyss Walker

Wearing red armor and holding a large white shield with a red cross, Heathcliff holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, staring at the monster with slender arms waving and a head like a honeycomb in front of him .

"Kacha - Kacha - Kacha -"

The sound of armor colliding was heard above Heathcliff's head, and on the surrounding ring stone pillars, as if someone was running on it.

A blue figure flashed past Heathcliff's head, mixed with the sound of a rapidly falling wind, a knight holding a big sword, wrapped in a blue cloak that was already damaged, fell from above the arena.

The big sword easily pierced through the body of the strange human-shaped monster, and the jet of black blood splashed on the helmet of the blue knight.

"Ok?"

Heathcliff looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously, not knowing what was happening in front of him.

This blue knight...is here to help me?

However, Heathcliff didn't put away his weapons because of this. On the contrary, facing this seemingly powerful blue knight, as a game designer, Heathcliff instinctively felt something was wrong.

The armor that should have been shining with silver light has now become filthy, as if it has received various attacks, causing the armor to look a little bumpy. The dirty blue cloak is wrapped around the knight's body, unable to Seeing the helmets with both eyes, it still makes people feel a sharp gaze.

【Abyss Walker - Artorius】

Different from those small monsters without faces or names, this knight who is nearly three meters tall, holds a huge sword, and shakes with inertia as if his left arm seems to be broken, has his own name.

"Abyss Walker, Artorius? This kind of boss is definitely not my design."

Heathcliff narrowed his eyes, the situation of completely changing a fighting style made him feel a little tricky even as an administrator.

Accompanied by the blue knight named Abyss Walker swinging his big sword, throwing out the corpse of the monster strung on the sword, the blue knight let out a painful roar as if his spirit had been devastated by some kind of force .

Afterwards, Artorius jumped up from the ground in a strange posture, and slammed the great sword in his hand towards Heathcliff.

Heathcliff raised the shield in his hand, which has a hidden skill called [Holy Sword]. Heathcliff's shield will gain quite a strong defense. So far, there is no such thing as that person or monster. The attack can break the shield in Heathcliff's hand.

That's why Heathcliff raised his shield so confidently and walked towards Artorius' attack.

However, the development of things this time far exceeded Heathcliff's imagination.

"Boom-"

Obviously the blade was no longer sharp, but the huge force still made Heathcliff's arm tremble slightly.

Just one blow almost exceeded the upper limit of defense given by the holy sword, even so, Heathcliff still saw his blood bar recede by a small amount from the corner of his eye.

Before Heathcliff could continue to think about other things, Artorius, who had just launched a powerful slash, immediately swept the great sword in his hand from the side.

Heathcliff, who had never defended against a weapon attack of this level until now, only felt a sharp pain in his left arm, and immediately saw his field of vision change rapidly.

Like a stone being thrown into the air, Heathcliff was directly thrown away by Artorius' attack.

He hit a stone pillar and stopped. Heathcliff's blood volume was only about 60.00% at this time. After all, it was a character value specially adjusted by the administrator. If so, I'm afraid this blow will completely break the myth that Heathcliff's health has never dropped below 50.00%.

"Ahem, who the hell designed this?"

Climbing up from the pile of rubble, he was hit by Artorius's attack and was powerless to fight back before he could use his attack method. This kind of experience was quite bad for Heathcliff, who was used to calm fighting. of.

Raising the shield in his hand again, Heathcliff decided not to use the shield to block the attack of this guy named Artorius.

The blue knight was also looking at the enemy who was blown away by his two moves. After seeing the opponent put on a stance again, Artorius used the strange steps just now, and jumped from the ground He started, but this time it was no longer a slash, but a quick thrust of the big sword in his hand towards the front.

The tip of the sword touched the large shield in Heathcliff's hand, and after making a dull sound, it directly bounced the large shield in the opponent's hand, but Heathcliff seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago occur.

When Artorius swept past from the side, Heathcliff also started to move, and flashed close to Artorius' body, and the cross sword in his hand came from the waist of Artorius. Cut across the blue rags in between.

Black and red blood oozed from Artorius' waist, and this blow did not cause much damage to Artorius.

The body squatted down to accumulate energy, and then Artorius jumped up again. The swordsmanship that had been engraved in the memory of the body was fully displayed by the wolf knight at this moment, and it was no longer as simple as before. Slashing, the swordsmanship like a gust of wind sent out a fierce offensive on the seemingly weightless great sword in Artorius' hands.

Dodge, dodge, dodge.

Although Heathcliff was dodging desperately, he was doomed to fall into an absolute disadvantage in this set of attacks if he didn't distance himself from the mad knight.

The large shield on the left arm was sent flying again, and the defense provided by the armor on his body combined with Heathcliff's desperate evasion prevented the head of the Knights of the Blood Order from being killed. Artorius' attack hit, and he was caught in a combo.

This kind of attack that did not conform to common sense at all made Heathcliff desperately curse the designer who designed this BOSS deep in his heart.

Is it that crazy guy who came up with such a thing?

Several wounds of different sizes appeared on Heathcliff's body. Fortunately, the attack that caused these wounds was just the blade gently rubbing against Heathcliff's body instead of hitting him directly. Cliff's HP bar was not cleared under this fierce offensive.

But now it’s not much better. Originally, under the operation of Heathcliff’s game administrator, the order to be locked at 30.00% of the minimum life value has not taken effect. Now Heathcliff, the head The HP bar has dropped to the [-]% red danger zone.

"Don't underestimate people!"

Even without the shield in his hand, Heathcliff will not become cowardly. After grabbing a relatively large gap exposed after Artorius swung the great sword, Heathcliff sank The body, using the armor on the shoulders as a shield, rushed straight into the arms of Artorius.

The filthy knight exudes an extremely uncomfortable smell, which is not something that can be imitated by electronic programs.

The cross sword in his hand pierced Artorius' abdomen fiercely, and black and red blood sprayed out from the wound.

"Ugh——"

There was an indistinct howl from inside the helmet, not sure if it was from pain or what.

"If I hadn't found out that your left arm was broken, I wouldn't have dared to do this!"

It was the observation of Artorius' unresponsive left arm that Heathcliff dared to make such a bold move.

The strength in his hand pushed the long sword forward more forcefully, and Heathcliff could clearly hear the sound of the blade passing through the body after piercing the armor.

"Crack-"

The tip of the sword protruded from the back of Artorius. Without a doubt, Heathcliff's attack directly passed through the body of the blue knight in front of him.

If it was a normal person, Heathcliff's blow could already tell the difference between the winner and the loser.

But it's a pity, even if he wasn't corroded by the abyss, Artorius' fighting power wouldn't stop because of such an attack.

The wolf knight's legs that had been pierced through his body violently exerted force, wrapped in armor, and his seemingly slender legs burst out with great strength at this time.

Leaping into the air together with Heathcliff, who was too late to let go, Artorius turned his body in the air in a posture that completely violated common sense.

How easy it is to stab in, and it is equally easy to throw it out. Heathcliff, who was brought up with his own weapon, was thrown out by the turning body of Artorius, and fell into the arena. After falling into the rubble, the HP bar above Heathcliff's head dropped to an almost imperceptible level.

"Cough, cough, this situation is a bit bad."

With some difficulty, Heathcliff wanted to straighten his body and crawl out from the pile of rubble, but he found that at some point, his character's pain shielding level seemed to disappear.

If it wasn't for the virtual body, then if you were dropped from such a height, you would probably die immediately, right?

But the situation is similar now. Heathcliff saw the figure illuminated by the sun in mid-air, the abyss walker who rotated his body, swung the big sword in his hand, and moved towards the figure lying in the rubble. Heathcliff slammed down hard.

"Captain!"

In a daze, Heathcliff seemed to hear Asuna's voice, he raised his head with some difficulty, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"Boom—"

The sound of the bowstring being plucked resounded in the air, and a thick arrow far beyond ordinary people's perception flew through the air, piercing the falling Artorius, and then nailed it fiercely to the stone pillar behind.

----

Neither Asuna nor Kirito could believe what was happening in front of their eyes. The head of the Blood Knights, the man whose HP bar would never fall below 50.00%, was lying on a pile of broken pieces right now. On top of the stone, the large shield that had been carried on his left arm had been lost somewhere, and the originally resolute face was now a little pale because of not knowing if he had lost too much blood.

Putting away the big dragon hunting bow in his hand, Mu Mu was not very interested in the current situation of the black hand behind the scenes. What attracted Mu Mu's attention even more was the one who had just been nailed to the wall by himself with an arrow, and pulled the general a few times. The knight who broke free from the stone pillar by himself.

【Abyss Walker - Artorius】

"It's really strange. I've never met him before, but you actually met him first?"

Walking past the collapsed Heathcliff with confident steps, he said [

【Great Recovery】

[A great miracle used by high-level priesthood.

Together with the surrounding characters, it can greatly restore the blood volume.

It's a grand story,

Very few people know the full extent of the story,

So for those who know the story,

Its favor is more than enough. 】
