but.
Other players have formed a strategy group that has already cleared out the orcs and lizardmen along the way, so they haven't encountered any problems.
Among them were two lizardmen who hadn't been eliminated, dressed in simple equipment with shields and spears, who appeared before the raiding team.
"..."
Not yet fully accustomed to the combat in the game, Asuna gripped her rapier tightly, knowing that Shiraishikawa was there to protect her.
She wasn't particularly flustered.
As the lizardmen drew closer, just as she was about to launch an attack, she noticed a figure darting past her at incredible speed.
Her feathered robes were as light as butterflies.
"The dance of bee teeth is truly captivating."
Its extremely high agility caught Asuna and Sachi in the party off guard, let alone the monsters that were programmed to react.
A sharp Nichirin sword.
By bypassing the lizardman's defenses, the thrust landed squarely on its chest, dealing fatal damage and depleting its HP, thus cleanly eliminating both lizardmen.
Watching the lizardman vanish into thin air, leaving no corpse behind after his death.
Shinobu Kocho has a deeper understanding of the game world, but she hasn't unlocked the Adventurer class, doesn't have a character panel, and can't gain experience points.
She looked at Shiraishi Kawa with surprise and asked seriously, "This is the game world?"
"more or less."
"When HP is depleted, it means death. No matter how much damage you caused before you die, the monsters you face will retain their original strength."
This is meant to add some boss-like elements to Asuna and Sachi.
Clearing out these low-level monsters was pointless for Shiraishikawa, so he continued deeper into the labyrinth without encountering any problems.
Through the long road.
The strategy team arrived at the temple, where many players had already gathered, clearing out monsters along the way.
They are currently in a recovery phase.
The team leader was a young man with blue hair, who was also the initiator of this team strategy, and he saw new players arriving one after another.
Although the team was a bit odd...
It's a strange combination of a boy and three beautiful girls. Just the looks of Asuna and Shinobu Kocho alone could easily get them into the top 10 of SAO game players.
The overall morale of the raiding party wasn't particularly high.
Team leader Diabel, with a smile on his face, quickly asked, "Are you also here to conquer the Boss? It will increase your success rate."
"..."
Many players in the strategy group also turned their attention to Shiraishikawa, Asuna, and others, even if they were cannon fodder with little strength.
It can also keep death at bay.
When asked to join the group, Asuna didn't give a direct answer. Instead, she looked at Shiraishikawa to see if she wanted to join the team.
His consent is also required.
"You all want to leave the SAO game, right?"
Without giving a direct answer to the invitation to join the strategy team, Shiraishichuan simply glanced around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on someone who wasn't very conspicuous in the corner.
A girl with purple hair in a single ponytail, wearing over-the-knee boots, and holding a scythe.
Mite.
Indeed, I met her here. Inviting Mitt to join the strategy team can be done after the temple boss is defeated. This is the player's arrangement.
Shiraishikawa looked at Diabel, who died at the hands of the Dog Lord in the original work, and said in a relaxed tone, "You all want to leave the game, right?"
"of course."
Diabel did not deny it, saying, "So many of us players have gathered here with the goal of conquering Aincrad and returning to the real world."
"Then you can handle the ordinary monsters on the floors. As for taking down the temple boss, our team will take care of that."
"What did you say?"
"..."
Ignoring Diabel's bewildered gaze, Shiraishikawa, along with Asuna and Shinobu, walked past everyone's sight to the temple's entrance.
He decisively pushed open the door.
Guide to defeating the floor boss, the Kobold Lord.
By the time Diabel realized what was happening and tried to stop it, there was no time left to look at the powerful monster that had appeared in the distance ahead.
He gritted his teeth.
Diabel then addressed the players, saying, "We finally made it this far, and now other players' teams have joined us."
"Try it."
"Will win!"
This behavior of picking fruit and stealing the Boss naturally aroused complaints from players, since it takes a lot of time just to clear out ordinary monsters.
result...
However, some teams started their attack on the temple without having properly rested!
One of the players, realizing something was amiss and wanting to avoid escalating the situation, quickly explained, "My friend messaged me..."
"They said there's a strategy group in the starting town today that only recruits female players... and the leader is a male player. Could it be the group we just saw?"
"..."
An odd combination, coupled with an odd style of behavior.
After all, with the task of defeating the Kobold Lord boss right in front of them, most players did not show particularly strong hostility towards Shiraishikawa.
They all want to leave the SAO game.
They all picked up their weapons and entered the temple, hoping to help Shiraishikawa and Asuna in their attempt to defeat the first floor boss.
The purple-haired girl had just joined the team and wasn't very familiar with the other players.
As Mito watched his friend Asuna enter the temple, he finally made his decision and gripped the Grim Reaper's scythe tightly in his hand.
Curious about Asuna's changes in such a short time.
She wouldn't even leave the hotel, but now she's chosen to create a travel guide group. And then there's... Shiraishi Kawa, who spoke earlier, which piqued her curiosity.
"Let's go help too!"
P.S.: I had some things to take care of, so the update was a little late. There's one more chapter tonight, and I'll update normally tomorrow. Please give me your monthly votes... Don't let this book become a "growth hog," it'll die from being "grown up" o.O
Chapter 83: My proposal, who among you agrees and approves?
Upon entering the Boss Temple, the surrounding environment is bizarre and surreal; it is not a simple enclosed space, but rather a space filled with walls of various colors.
Appearing before Asuna was the enormous, red-skinned, dog-headed lord Ilfang, who carried a shield and wielded a giant axe.
"..."
Unlike ordinary lizardmen, this monster exerted an extremely strong sense of pressure on Asuna from the moment it appeared, a feeling that those lesser monsters could not match.
Very strong.
However, this time she did not back down. She knew that she would not grow at all if she hid in the town. She could only hone her skills and learn techniques in battle.
Only then can one possess the strength to fight monsters.
"This...this is the Boss?"
As a spear wielder, Sachi's composure at the thought of fighting the enormous monster before her caused a flicker of fear to cross her eyes.
She even subconsciously glanced behind her at Shiraishi Kawa, who was receiving special treatment from Shinobu and Asuna. He must be very strong, right?
Shinobu Kocho maintained her composure as usual, and with the bestowal of the title of Chosen of Pleasure, her overall attribute values improved, giving her confidence.
Combined with Insect Breathing, even when facing a temple boss.
Her intention was also to avoid embarrassing Shiraishikawa, so she asked with a gentle smile, "Shiraishi-kun, do you need my help in the battle?"
"can."
According to the timeline, Asuna, trapped in the SAO game, did not leave the inn, and therefore did not level up with her friend Mito.
Regarding Asuna's current strength.
Shiraishikawa didn't have high expectations for her; what he truly valued was her potential as a shining star, which was six months later in the original story.
To be precise, Asuna is a complete novice when it comes to gaming.
He had no intention of forcibly interfering, and said in a relaxed tone, "Just keep attacking, I'll provide some assistance in the battle."
"it is good!"
With sufficient security guaranteed, even Xing gripped his spear tightly, ready to begin the raid, as the other members of the raiding team arrived.
Completely drawn into the hatred level, the floor temple boss, Ilfang, directly summoned a huge number of red-skinned kobold soldiers.
The team's rhythm was slightly disrupted.
Shiraishi Kawa glanced at Diabel, the leader of the raid group, and decisively said, "You guys handle these mobs; we have a plan for the boss."
"Many of the players participating in SAO are newbies. Are you sure doing this won't harm them?"
Diabel's expression turned serious at Shiraishi's arrangement, but he still rallied the other players and began clearing out the kobold minions.
He really wanted to ask.
Why was he able to stand comfortably in the back as a boy in the team, yet look at Shiraishi's indifferent eyes, and ultimately...
Diabel kept his words to himself.
He turned to the reluctant members of the raiding party and commanded, "Clear out the kobold monsters first, then we'll consider taking on the boss!"
"Strive to successfully pass through customs today."
