Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"Go wash up, I've prepared breakfast."

Artoria looked at the time on the system, and gently reminded Asuna.

"The strategy team will gather at ten o'clock, we need to hurry up."

The flaxen-colored long-haired girl was exceptionally soft at this moment, like a kitten with its belly exposed, with imperceptible nostalgia in her eyes.

Maybe it was because she just woke up, but she behaved very well and her voice was soft.

Smiling and nodding in response, she slowly loosened the corner of the blonde girl's clothes, turned around and left the living room.

However, the moment she entered the bathroom, she involuntarily glanced back at Arturia again.

The girl behind her seemed to have noticed something, she raised her head at the right time, her eyes lit up, and the corner of her mouth raised the sun.

Chapter 11 Sword Glow Blooms Like Brilliance (Two in One)

The door was slowly pushed open.

So in an instant, it was as if black and white ink paintings were dyed with five-color watercolors, and the dark room suddenly lit up.

Sitting high on the throne was a gigantic creature with a strange appearance.

Wearing an iron helmet on its head, holding a long ax and a shield in its hands, its powerful tail swings behind it, and its red skin is as bright as blood.

That was the Boss on the first floor, and it took all the players a month to find the way to clear the level.

The king of the orcs - Kobold Lord Illfang <Illfang·the·KoboldLord>

Looking at the huge figure in front of them, all the players of the attacking group had the same serious expression on their faces.

Arturia and the three of them, as a single group, were assigned the task of destroying and holding back the Boss's personal guards. The purpose was to let the other teams concentrate on attacking the king of orcs, Irfan.

After all of them entered the room, the boss battle finally started.

"Roar!~!"

The kobold let out an angry howl, and its eyes flashed red, and one after another, soldiers in armor and holding giant hammers suddenly appeared in front of them!

And these little soldiers, that is, Boos's personal guards, are the targets of Artoria's single group.

"Start the attack!"

Following Diabel's loud shout, the players behind him roared angrily and rushed towards him.

In the next second, the blades met, and the player and the monster collided together.

According to Artoria's previous thinking, she only needs to go forward and fight with Boos in person, and in the end, she will achieve the wonderful achievement of no one being injured.

But this idea is too simple and crude.

For a blond girl who is unknown and unknown, no one will trust her at all.

Are you kidding me?

How could it be possible for a guy who didn't know him to go up and fight the boss alone?

If he died accidentally, who would bear the responsibility?

No matter how beautiful you are, you still can't agree to things that you can't agree to, because this is a matter of principle.

In fact, let alone these other clearing group players, even Asuna and Kirito would not believe such words.

No one is willing to take the responsibility, and no one is willing to believe it. It is precisely because of knowing this that Arturia chose to keep silent and did not tell everyone this untimely proposal.

Although this way is not feasible, there are other ways to choose, right?

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Anyway, no matter what the process is, as long as the final outcome is good, Arturia has always been flexible about such trivial matters.

So in the battle with the pro-guards, she chose a quick solution.

Since the task assigned by the single group is to destroy the Kobold's guards, then if these mobs are completely wiped out, naturally, their attack targets without opponents can only be transferred to the final boss.

By this time, Arturia will be able to fight this boos.

Of course, before that, she also needs to keep an eye on the situation over there, and be ready to go over to help and scoop up people at any time, in case some players are really unlucky and accidentally die in the battle.

A sharp sword light flashed across the empty room, and the blond girl's movements were too skillful and fast.

She shuttled among the monsters, and her posture seemed to be dancing instead of fighting.

It is completely different from other people around. If other players are in panic and fear, then she is calm and fierce.

Boss fights have a fixed pattern, let alone those mobs.

Once she figured out their routines, for Artoria, fighting them became as simple as chopping vegetables and cutting melons, and there was no technical difficulty at all.

The sword shadow of the fine iron long sword in his hand fluttered, and silver-white sword lights danced and scattered in all directions. The soldiers around were seriously injured and died if they got closer.

'Amazing! ! '

Kirito's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that Pendragon could be so powerful. With such sword skills and skills, such strength and swiftness, it was impossible to believe that such enormous power came from the blond girl in front of him.

...... Can't see clearly.

The black-haired boy's eyes were deep and solemn, even if he concentrated all his attention, he couldn't see the movement of the other party's sword clearly.

The golden figure was not only as fast as a stream of light, but also as erratic as the wind, unable to grasp the trace of its trajectory at all.

There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

Originally, Kirito had always been proud and confident of his swordsmanship and skill, but at this moment......

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help clenching the long sword in his hand, and there was a complicated expression in those same black eyes like ink.

Among them, there are gratification, envy, and unwillingness.

The good news is that in this cruel world of death games, the emergence of a master like Arturia means that the hope of the strategy game is greatly improved.

What envies him is that his friend's skill is so powerful. As a swordsman who also holds a long sword, he is very yearning for the opponent's skills and posture.

What is not reconciled is that he thought he was quite strong at first, but now with Pendragon as a foil, he suddenly felt his own inadequacies, and the desire to win and lose quietly rose in his heart to surpass the opponent.

After all the little soldiers were completely wiped out, the black-haired boy turned his head and took a deep look at her.

He secretly vowed in his heart that one day he would become stronger, surpass the opponent, and become a swordsman stronger than Pendragon.

In less than five or six minutes, Artoria wiped out eight out of ten of all mobs by herself, while Asuna and Kirito wiped out the remaining ten out of ten. The two worked together to eliminate it.

After the last mob turned into light and dissipated into the air, all of them turned their heads and looked at the kobold lord who still had a third of his health.

The guards have all been cleared away, so facing the boss at this moment, should they, the lone group, attack or choose to stand by?

Is this still worth thinking about?

Of course he chose to attack!

Artoria, Asuna, and Kirito looked at each other, and then attacked the boss with their swords.

With the addition of the three of them (the most important of which is Arturia), the situation that had been somewhat stalemate instantly became clear.

With just one blow from the blond girl, the sword light gathered on the long sword in her hand like a blooming flower, and finally bloomed on the ferocious monster.

Boos originally had less than one-third of his HP, but after this blow, he dropped below the red line in the next second!

Presumably, if it weren't for the existence of the blood lock mechanism set up to make the kobold lord violent, the sword just now would have been enough to make it dissipate into dust.

The blood-red pupils shone with a murderous light, and it revealed its sharp sawtooth, then lifted its head abruptly, and a huge roar spread throughout the room.

This process only took a few seconds, and the kobold lord Irfan suddenly threw the shield and ax in his hand into the sky, and just threw his weapon aside.

"Sure enough!"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help showing excited expressions on their faces.

"Sure enough, it is exactly the same as what the intelligence said."

According to the latest guide book, when the boss's four HP gauges are reduced to the last one of red blood, the weapon will be replaced with a scimitar, and the attack mode will also change.

And now the kobold lord Irfan threw his weapon aside, it was obvious that he was going to change his weapon for the final struggle.

But at this moment........

"Stand back! I'll attack next!!"

Diabel's voice sounded behind the crowd, and he quickly walked through the crowd, holding a long sword and running towards the boss.

This move is obviously problematic. Logically speaking, it is the safest way for the whole team to encircle them together at this time.

However, perhaps because the blue-haired young man was the team leader, the other players subconsciously obeyed his orders, and actually let him rush to the boss alone.

He is stealing heads!

Although Artoria was not familiar with the gameplay, and she didn't need experience to upgrade, so she didn't think of this level for the time being, but Kirito reacted immediately after being stunned for a moment.

But what can I say now?

Expose his behavior?

If the black-haired boy really did this, it would be very easy for a team that was about to succeed in the attack to be distracted and cause internal strife.

If everyone really quarrels because of head-grabbing, it may lead to some very bad results in the end.

So keep your mouth shut.

Although the black-haired boy was a little moved by the experience bonus of the last blow, if Diabel could really kill the boss, his actions would be fine.

There was a white light on the tip of the sword, and the blue-haired young man let out a loud shout. Just as he was about to aim the weapon at the monster's throat and kill it, suddenly, an accident happened.

Perhaps it was because the development was too smooth before, but at this moment, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The red kobold lord was really angry.

Its HP has dropped to a very dangerous level, which is an unprecedented damage for it.

Boss suddenly pulled out a wild sword from behind. The blade is one foot and two feet long, and the blade is curved outwards. The widest part of the blade is sixteen inches and eight inches. teeth mouth.

The blade looks very sharp, and the handle is straight. The handle is made of wood, eighteen and a half inches long, with a white bandage wrapped around it as a non-slip treatment.

This is a killing weapon that makes people feel scared at first glance.

That is not the scimitar mentioned in the information, but a genuine Nodachi.

It is completely different from the beta test period. Obviously, in the official server, Akihiko Kayaba revised it.

The weapons held by the boss have changed, which means that the skills mentioned in the intelligence have also completely changed.

——This is definitely a fatal mistake.

I have to say, as expected of an old player who has been addicted to the game for many years, Kirito has already thought of this level in an instant.

"No, everyone, retreat with all your strength!"

The black-haired boy looked panic-stricken, and he quickly shouted loudly to remind everyone.

However........

It's too late!

The kobold jumped up with all his strength, brandishing the huge wild knife in his hand, it slashed towards Diabel on the ground with all its strength.

If this blow hits, perhaps the others would not die if they were farther away, but the blue-haired young man was enough to be sentenced to death on the spot.

How to do? !

Damn, what should I do now to save him? !

Just when Kirito's eyes were filled with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do, from the corner of his eyes, he saw the air suddenly swaying, and there was a "boom" in his ear, and a golden figure disappeared in place like the twinkling stars. , and then suddenly appeared between the Boss and Diabel.

Like a falling meteorite, no one can see exactly how she appeared.

"!!!"

Asuna and Kirito opened their mouths in disbelief, their minds went blank.

The performance of the others was even worse. Some people were so frightened by this scene that they sat down on the ground, their heartbeat almost stopped.

Saving people is the most important thing, and Arturia can no longer care about what everyone thinks.

She swung the sword, and in an instant, the graceful daughter, Rumei, became a knight with a sword drawn forward.

Even if it's just the fine iron long sword that can be seen everywhere in the game, it is as sharp and bright as she is at this moment.
