Chapter 569 The unlucky idiot goddess and the brilliant perverted knight

During the distribution of the large quantities of potions purchased by Argo, Kobayashi and Kirito divided the subsequent personnel.

In fact, generally speaking, a little more time should be reserved for running in, but the people here are all members of the strategy team, so this step can be omitted without any worries. At the same time, Kobayashi and Kirito do not want additional people to join. reason.

Seeing the personnel arrangements, Sato Kazuma groaned.

"Gather all the combat power into one team? ... That's right. After all, there is only one tank in Darkness in name, so there is no way to distribute it evenly. But in this way, senior Kobayashi, your team will be burdened. It’s become quite heavy.”

Kazuma is pretty good at this.

Before others realized this, they had already discovered the difficulty of defeating the BOSS.

"Yes. What I'm talking about now is only the situation during the closed beta period, but the Golem BOSS on the fifth floor does not have area attacks like the breath and water spray on the second and fourth floors. Basically, it only has two fists and two feet. It’s enough, and the time points are still separate, so as long as the hatred value is properly managed, I think even one tank can continue to defend.”

Kirito was answering questions, but also hoped that others would not feel uneasy.

But he misunderstood.

"It doesn't matter! No matter what kind of attack it is, I will catch it!"

The only tank in the team stood up.

The heroic blond female knight said such reassuring words, and almost everyone present was attracted by her handsomeness and reliability. Coupled with the previous levels, Darkness did indeed perform very well, and others suddenly gained a lot of confidence.

Why do you say almost everyone?

That's because Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma and others who understand her nature know that she must be extremely looking forward to the pleasure of being attacked by the BOSS.

The flushed female knight fell into delusion.

"I will be in charge of this strategy battle for the time being. Kirito's team will carefully observe the BOSS from the outside to confirm whether there is any unexpected attack pattern. If an accident occurs, we must come to the rescue in time. Kazuma's team will harass the boss after the battle begins. Then whenever the BOSS's HP bar changes, retreat to a position where you can quickly go outside the room to prepare for unknown attack patterns."

After finishing preparations, Xiao Lin clapped his hands and encouraged:

"Don't worry, even though there are only three teams in the BOSS battle, there is still a good chance of winning. Just trust me."

"Oh——!"xN

Everyone raised their fists and shouted.

Xiao Lin was already familiar with this kind of encouragement.

The soothing appearance boosted everyone's confidence.

Kirito on the side was slightly envious, but if he were asked to do it, he would probably be so nervous that his head would be overheated and his voice would be out of tune, so he would say some random things, so it was better to leave this kind of job to others.

"So----"

Xiao Lin turned around and faced the door of the BOSS room. The voices suddenly became quiet, and everyone's spirits gradually became tense.

After taking three deep breaths, the door was opened.

"...Eh?"

A soft cry made the momentum that had just risen pause.

In the maze towers so far, when a door like this is opened, the floor boss appears. But now there is no BOSS, and instead there is a staircase leading upwards. The large staircase is as wide as the entire passage. As your eyes move upward, you can see a large dark hole in the ceiling, and the staircase disappears inside. Currently, there is no smell of monsters in the remaining passages and above the stairs.

"Kirito, what's going on?"

"I don't know. It wasn't like this during the closed beta. It was a very ordinary door before, and after opening it is the room of the Golem BOSS. Almost the structure up to this point has changed. Maybe changing the stairs doesn't matter. It means so much..."

His answer made everyone feel gloomy.

It seems like yesterday that the BOSS changed its attack mode on the first floor and almost caused Diabel's death. Now they have to face a BOSS that is completely different from the one in the closed beta. Maybe it is no longer a golem.

Those closed beta players must not have expected that the BOSS room will change. Will the BOSS drop items include the guild flag?

Unfortunately, none of the questions have been answered, and now the arrow has to be fired.

"Senior Xiaolin?"

"Proceed with caution."

Indicated to Sato Kazuma to activate the enemy-seeking skill.

Of all the people present, including Kirito, none of them were as proficient in enemy-seeking skills as Sato and Mana. Especially when there are only 3 skill columns at level 16, his skill mix is ​​enemy detection, lock picking, and short-hand sword proficiency, which is a standard thief and scout profession.

Then the formation changed, and Kazuma Sato and Alice switched to join Kobayashi's team. After lighting up the portable lamp, they walked towards the stairs again.

It's a bit dark here, with very little light. Only the handheld lamp in front can clearly illuminate the surrounding environment. The eerie atmosphere made everyone tense up, fearing that a monster would pop out from somewhere and frighten them into confusion.

However, they thought too much.

Until they reached the fifth floor, they didn't encounter a single monster.

When you reach the fifth floor, the material on the soles of your feet changes. The moment the lint hit the bottom of the boot, it made a sharp metallic sound when it hit the solid and smooth floor——

Wonderful vibrations were transmitted to the ears along with a buzzing sound, and then several rays of light appeared far away. The blue-white lighting, like an LED bulb, directly dispels the darkness. The moment they could see the surrounding scene, everyone took a breath.

So spacious!

The circular space is about thirty meters in diameter and at least fifteen meters in height. The curved wall is directly the outer wall of the tower, and the ceiling is the bottom of the next floor. In other words, I am afraid that the entire uppermost floor of the Labyrinth Tower is the Demon King's room.

But it also feels a little unnatural.

In previous BOSS battles, when a player stepped into the room, they would rush towards them like a crazed beast.

But now they have all moved from the stairs to the fifth floor, and the room still feels like there are no block polygons everywhere.

The floor and ceiling are smooth and shiny like black crystal, and there are thin lines crisscrossing them like circuits. Even when the dumb goddess bends down to touch these grooves, nothing happens.

It can’t be that the BOSS has been defeated, right?

Before starting the strategy battle, Argo had confirmed that the main force of the strategy team was still in the town, and Xiaolin and the others were the first to arrive.

Sato Kazuma said: "Is it possible that he did not enter the BOSS's attack range and did not cause hatred?"

"...It's very possible."

Xiao Lin nodded, and then ordered the maid beside him: "Liu Zi, please."

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

Without any hesitation, Liu Zi walked slowly toward the center of the room with her sickle in hand. Her steps were relaxed and not cautious at all, causing the players who were watching her from behind to subconsciously hold their breath and concentrate.

Looking in front of the maid, she saw lines on the floor concentrated about ten meters in front, drawing a complex concentric circle.

Although it looked like there should be some kind of mechanism, I felt very uneasy at the same time. But Liu Zi should also know this, and now he can only trust her and watch here silently.

As if gliding, the doll maid slowly moved across the black floor illuminated by blue and white phosphorescent light. When she came to the circular pattern, she didn't even hesitate for a second and walked in as she pleased.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

Just when others thought nothing happened, the next second the line on the floor glowed blue, and at the same time there was an extremely strong vibration in the entire room.

"Miss Liuzi!"

Asuna shouted nervously.

But her nervousness was unnecessary. Even if a slow attack like this happened a hundred times, the puppet maid could easily dodge it.

However, in the game, although everything seems random, it is the result of system calculation. If the system decides like this, the player cannot resist with will.

"Tsk."

After Liu Zi smacked her tongue, her steps became unstable due to a momentary vibration, and she fell directly into the circle.

The next moment, as if to surround her, five square pillars stretched out from the circle with a loud bang. There are three long columns, another slightly shorter, and the last even shorter.

Such an arrangement...

It is not an ordinary pillar but has five fingers.

——The giant hand of the golem!

Xiao Lin frowned. Just when Liu Zi was about to be like a monkey pressed by the Buddha under the Five Fingers Mountain, he threw out the chain on his right hand. The chain was trapped on his slender waist, and then he was suddenly pulled back, and he was back in an instant. Go to the stairwell.

It was too dangerous just now, Liu Zi was almost crushed to death by the giant hand.

Everyone's faces were full of shock and fear, but I was the only one who looked calm and indifferent, even a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Master Xiaolin, I failed."

"It doesn't matter, it's not your fault."

Obviously the one just now is the BOSS mechanism. In reality, most attacks can be resolved by defense and dodge, but the game mechanism cannot. That is a situation where evasion is not allowed under any circumstances. Fortunately, the person who just went to explore was Liu Zi, if other players might have died by now.

Kobayashi felt Kayaba Akihiko's full malice towards the players.

At this time, Kirito said: "It's better to go back first——"

Just when he was about to say that he would go back down and prepare again, Xiao Lin suddenly interrupted him.

"Watch your steps! Everyone, disperse!"

There was no time to think, the body reacted subconsciously, and the three teams dispersed instantly, so fast that it was speechless.

This is also the reason why everyone in the strategy team can defeat the BOSS.

At this time, the light circuit diagram running across the entire floor began to undergo dazzling changes. Blue lines gathered at Xiao Lin's feet, drawing several concentric circles——

"Dance again!"

Xiaolin held Alice in one hand and Liu Zi in the other. After jumping back with all his strength, the black rock arm just stood up from the floor again, and then clenched his fist with a click in the air.

I see, have you entered combat mode?

The one just now was the same as Sato Kazuma's guess. They did not enter the BOSS's attack range and did not attract any hatred. But when Liu Zi walked into the concentric circle, it meant that the BOSS strategy battle had started, and the scope of hatred also expanded to the entire fifth floor.

Although he almost got hit, he knew an attack pattern this way.

"Everyone! Pay attention to the movement of the circle. When the gathering time is three seconds - that is, when the concentric circles form three, the giant hand will attack from above! As long as you dodge during the charging time, you will not be attacked!"

"Understood!"xN

Only this time, Kobayashi figured out the BOSS's attack pattern.

This gave the three teams a surge of confidence.

But the next second——

Even though there was still an arm on the floor, a concentric circle pattern appeared under Aqua's feet.

"Waaaaa——————"

The stupid goddess rolled and crawled away, and it was Asuna who took the opportunity to save her from being squashed into a water ball.

After escaping, Aqua shouted angrily: "Kobayashi! It's completely different from what you just said! Why are there two hands!"

"There are two hands, idiot!"

Sato Kazuma couldn't help but curse.

And Asuna, who saved her, also reminded: "Look carefully, Miss Aqua. The position of the thumb is different, that is the left hand and the right hand."

"Oh, oh... is that so!"

Aqua scratched her head like a fool. If it wasn't so dangerous now, she really wanted to slap her.

"Okay, the attack is over, I'll dodge first."

The stupid goddess knew that she might cause trouble here... No, she was probably afraid and wanted to escape. In short, she ran towards the stairs that she had agreed to leave the BOSS floor, but at this time, a blue circle appeared under her feet again.

"Why————"

Aqua's crying voice was distressing.

Being targeted one after another, anyone would feel like crying, especially if they were not a tank profession.

But now she had no time to complain. Three concentric circles like targets gathered, and it was not an arm that came down from there with a loud bang, but a huge foot. Behind Aqua who was sprinting forward, a black bare foot that should be about 200 cm in size directly stepped on the floor behind her. The stupid goddess rolled forward, and although she was affected by the shock wave, she still avoided it at the critical moment.

There was no time to worry about Aqua's embarrassment. The next moment, another foot arrived on the battlefield, and the blue concentric circle appeared under the stupid goddess again.

Three consecutive hits?

Since we all have hands, we can also accept having two feet.

"Move quickly, Aqua!"

"No, no, no! I can't move! Help me, Kobayashi!!!"

The overturned Aqua's legs have become weak.

Kobayashi is a control player who focuses on agility, and Aqua is too far away from him now, so even with chains, he can't reach her.

"I'll help!"

Darkness flashed in front of Aqua and raised her eagle shield to block the attack, but at the same time she also retreated backwards. In addition, the floor was a very smooth circuit board, so she retreated more than 20 meters, and when she stopped, she knelt on one knee and didn't react.

"Hey! Darkness! Are you okay!"

"Ms. Darkness!"

"Darkness?!"

As she was the only tank, her safety was related to everyone's life and death, so everyone was very nervous. However——

“Great————!”

The response was not a dull hum, but an excited gasp that made people unable to bear to watch.

This hopelessly perverted female knight!
