I like traveling the most

When Sato Kazuma and others were angry and Kirito Asuna and others were dumbfounded, Kobayashi looked around and suddenly shouted:

"——Everyone, stand still and don't move!"

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → 𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚]

Keeping people motionless during the BOSS battle was almost the same as committing suicide. However, the others still restrained themselves from leaving the place without authorization out of their trust in Xiao Lin.

Then the atmosphere gradually became quiet.

Even the crying idiot goddess suppressed her cries and turned them into sobs.

Near the center of the thirty-meter-diameter hall, two hands and two feet stood there like strange towers. At present, the lines of the floor and ceiling, as well as the huge hands and feet have stopped, so I should take advantage of this gap to sprint towards the stairs, but——

"You all look down."

Following Xiao Lin's instructions, everyone moved their eyes and faces to the minimum, looking down at their feet. As a result, I saw a black floor and lines emitting blue light.

After Kirito was stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "Could this be the trigger mechanism?"

"That's right."

Kobayashi explained: "The blue line on the floor is the triggering condition. If you step on it, the lines on the floor and ceiling will begin to change irregularly. Targets will appear on the soles of the feet or on the top of the head of the person who steps on the line. When the lines stop changing, three will appear. After forming concentric circles, they will reach out from the floor to grab, or lower their feet from the ceiling to strike.”

"...This means that when you stop walking across the line like this, the huge hands and feet won't attack?" Agil, who was thinking equally fast, asked the question.

Kirito nodded and said: "The Golem BOSS probably has this mechanism. Most of the time, two hands and two feet attack at the same time! In addition, there is no need to be nervous after being caught. According to the information during the internal beta, with a single If you hit it with a two-hit combo sword skill with your hand weapon, the person caught will be freed!"

"So that's the good news."

Others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The troublesome thing about defeating the boss is its mechanism, but as long as you find the right method, you can easily defeat it.

At the same time, I am also deeply grateful.

Fortunately, not many people came to defeat the BOSS this time. If all 48 members of the strategy team (the alliance) were present, they probably wouldn't be given a chance to figure out the mechanism.

"The only problem is that we don't know how much damage will be caused after being caught, and how much health will be reduced as a result."

"Don't worry. With Darkness here, you won't get hurt."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

At some point, the perverted female knight had regained her strength. After drinking the potion to replenish her health, she looked at the four huge pillars in the center of the room with a face full of eagerness and impatience.

But there is also a question.

Asuna raised her voice and said: "If it continues to be in this state, the BOSS will not attack, but we can't attack it in the same way, right?"

"I think so."

Kirito scratched his head.

It seemed that he was recalling how he cleared the level during the closed beta period, but now that the mechanism of the BOSS had been changed, even he didn't know how to do it.

But if the stalemate continues, they will be the ones injured in the end.

After all, we are racing against time. If we don't catch the people who are trying to sneak away from other strategy groups, they will catch up. When the time comes, a large number of players will join the battlefield, which will definitely make the current situation even more chaotic.

"No way, let's change our strategy."

Kobayashi decisively made arrangements: "Change the team. Me, Ryuuzi, Alice, Agil, Darkness and...Aqua, you will also join the team. And Kirito, Asuna, you two We formed a separate team, and now it’s up to you two to help us switch and delay. Kazuma, your mission remains unchanged, and you will provide assistance as soon as possible when an accident occurs!”

"clear!"

"good!"

"Leave it to me!"

Everyone obeyed Xiaolin's arrangement and agreed decisively, but Aqua shouted that she didn't want to take risks.

"I don't want it! Why do you want me to join the team! I have no attack power at all! Are you kidding me? Are you trying to get me to die?"

"Because you have the lowest luck value."

"No, no, no!"

The stupid goddess lies on the ground and acts rogue.

But she completely forgot that she had just asked them not to touch the blue lines on the floor.

It was as if the game system did not allow this kind of relaxed air to appear in the BOSS room. Only the lines in the center of the ceiling directly above the stairs moved without permission.

It should be the second stage of the BOSS battle.

But there was nothing the others could do but hold their breath and look up. A booming bass ensues, and complex shapes begin to protrude from the ceiling.

The black planes dotted with blue light on the edges continued to join together and began to form a symmetrical object. With a protruding forehead, sunken eye sockets, a square nose and a horizontal mouth, this rough face is three meters long from the top of the forehead to the end of the chin.

A bit like an enlarged version of the Easter Island statues.

Of course, only the head.

Then on the huge, rough face, there was a popping sound from the dark eye sockets, and blue-white light emitted. A complex and strange crest appeared in the center of his forehead, and the name of the fifth floor BOSS was also carved in white shining characters in mid-air.

——Void Golem Fusgus.

Ho ho ho————

From the cave-like mouth, a heavy bass roar that was enough to shake the entire maze tower burst out. Everyone present staggered to varying degrees. The mental oppression brought by such a huge and terrifying stone statue BOSS was extremely exaggerated, and everyone present was shrouded in a haze.

But Xiaolin had a different opinion.

Because its health bar was lit!

As we all know, when fighting a BOSS, we are not afraid of its high attributes or its complicated mechanism, but we are afraid of its lack of health bar. And the health bar is proof that they have officially started fighting the BOSS.

"Except my team and Kirito and Asuna, everyone spread out!"

Kobayashi shouted, "Spread out and watch the line carefully! Try to avoid it. If you step on it, pay attention to the floor and ceiling at the same time. When the target appears, jump away with all your strength to avoid it! ... Well, this is Aqua's job."

"Waaaaa————"

As if in response, the stupid goddess ran away in the hall. She was clearly told to pay attention to her feet at all times, but the panicked Aqua didn't listen to anything.

"Miss Aqua!"

"Don't go, Asuna!"

The rapier beauty wanted to save her, but was grabbed by the black swordsman.

"The important thing now is to attack the BOSS, and you can't be distracted!"

"Kirito is right. As long as you pass the level successfully, the attack will stop. Don't worry, someone will help Aqua."

Asuna finally felt relieved when she saw that Aqua was indeed picked up by others as Kobayashi said.

"Agil, the gap on the wall is bigger, so it's easier to avoid the lines. You run over there later! Your and Aqua's mission is to attract half of the brothers and sisters!"

"Understood!"

The black axeman responded and ran quickly to the edge.

This mission looks dangerous, but it's actually very simple.

As long as you jump up at the critical moment, you won't be hurt, but their output task will fall on the other six people accordingly.

Kobayashi took out the chain, wrapped it around Liu Zi's waist and said to the remaining four people: "Next, I will take the initiative to step on the coil to attract firepower to share Aqua's pressure. You will attack with me. Alice, you and Darkness switch."

"Understood!" X4

Unlike other floors where you can rush up and cause a lot of damage at the same time, the abnormal mechanism of the fifth-floor BOSS is very tricky. Fixed formations will only cause counter-effects, so you can only move freely to avoid the lines on the floor, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

When the countless lines sliding around on the black floor slowed down and then became even slower——

"Let's go!"

Kobayashi's right foot deliberately stepped on a line.

The lines reacted like some kind of creature, drawing a target under his feet. When the three concentric circles were fixed, Kobayashi's legs flew to the side.

The air was suddenly torn apart, and a black arm appeared in front of him.

Three pairs of combinations surrounded it from three directions, waving their weapons, and the light flashing with skill special effects fell on it one after another. The black arm seemed to be in pain in the dazzling light, and the face on the ceiling lowered an angry voice. Looking up a little, you can see that the first HP has indeed decreased a lot.

The injured arm sank into the floor, and the lines moved rapidly again.

But just when Kobayashi decided to repeat the trick again, he found that Aqua on the side was hitting the other arm with her fist (physical skills). I don't know what mechanism she triggered, the BOSS no longer lowered its hands and feet, but lowered its huge face again, and opened its mouth wide as if to emit negative effects such as shock and emptiness.

Seeing this, Kirito quickly rushed up, and the one-handed sword in his hand attacked the emblem on the BOSS's forehead at a very fast speed.

At some point, the emblem on the golem's forehead turned from blue to red, and his continuous skills just now successfully knocked off nearly half of the BOSS's health!

After hitting the BOSS's forehead with perfect control, the red emblem returned to blue, and the huge face closed its mouth and eyes as if timid, and shrank back into the ceiling again.

Which is the weakness?

Kobayashi understood.

This should be another mechanism of the golem BOSS, of course, it is negative. And the manifestation is that after suffering a certain amount of damage, the emblem on the forehead will turn red. As long as you attack within the specified time to stop the BOSS's roar, you can take this opportunity to cause a lot of damage.

Kirito looked at him, and Kobayashi nodded, understanding what he wanted to say.

The target is the forehead!

Kobayashi stepped on the blue line without hesitation. This time, it was the giant right foot of the golem. After dodging, he attacked with the three pairs of combinations. When the foot retracted to the ceiling, Sato Kazuma suddenly came up and said, "I know the trick. We will also join the attack next!"

"Sato-kun..."

I knew he would not stay at the back. How could a scumbag who was eager to show off miss such a chance to show off?

Not only him, but the others also formed teams in pairs, looking eager to try.

"Okay, in that case——"

Kobayashi stepped back to make enough space.

"Everyone, attack together!"

"Oh!"xN

At this time, the giant face of the golem descended, and the emblem turned red. The people who had been waiting for a long time gave it the most enthusiastic reception with their strongest skills.

Oh oh oh————

A roar that was even more fierce than before came out of the golem's mouth, making people cover their ears with their hands, but the expression on their faces was no longer panic but excitement.

In just this round, the boss's health value dropped by one tube!

"Disperse, come again!"

As the face gradually shrank back to the ceiling, Xiaolin shouted and everyone dispersed again.

At the moment of stopping, they deliberately stepped on the line, avoided the attacking hands and feet, and attacked with sword skills. The obstruction effect of the demon king's face was cancelled by Kirito. After repeating it several times, the actions of all members were indeed patterned, and by the sixth time, they could complete the attack without any danger. In just less than ten minutes, the boss only had more than one health value left.

This is the impact of understanding the mechanism of the boss.

Just when Xiaolin was worried about the third stage and was ready to let everyone stop, the stupid goddess who was chased and embarrassed just now couldn't help it, and her fists kept falling on the emblem on the golem's forehead.

Originally, Aqua's attack was not high, and she was still a physical skill, so she had no output ability at all.

But the problem is that the BOSS's defense has decreased, and the damage that was originally ordinary has now increased exponentially. If you are not careful, the BOSS's health will drop to the last tube.

Suddenly-

Without warning, blue lines began to extend from the floor and ceiling to the black flat wall straight ahead, reminiscent of some primitive creature-like movements, gradually filling up the air raid, making the space like a prison fence.

Sato Kazuma cursed as usual: "You idiot, look at what you have done!"

"What does it have to do with me! I just beat people with you! Besides, there were so many people just now, why blame me!" Aqua argued loudly.

But now is not the time to make trouble.

"Everyone, push to the stairs!"

Kobayashi planned to go to the next floor to regroup. The fifth floor BOSS room is different from others. There are many floors here that cannot be exited like other BOSS rooms.

Aqua was the first to react and quickly ran towards the stairs. She was always the first to run away when she encountered danger... even though Sato Kazuma, who was triggered later, ran away faster than her.

But this time——

"Wait, Miss Aqua!"

"...Eh?"

Asuna found something and called out loudly. The stupid goddess was stunned and found that the dark face of the boss in the middle of the floor bulged from the place where the stairs were a few seconds ago. The dark pit was like a bloody mouth biting Aqua's waist. The stairs turned into a mouth!

"Danger——"

Before she could shout out completely, Aqua's fragile body was knocked away in an instant.

And the person who knocked her away was Darkness.

Although the stupid goddess was saved, it was the female knight who was bitten instead.

"Damn it!"

Kirito cursed.

From the perspective of others, the heavy armor on Darkness was bitten by huge and sharp teeth, and a large amount of red damage effects were emitted. At present, her HP has not been reduced, but it is conceivable that if the armor is damaged, she will suffer fatal damage at that moment.

"Darkness!"

"Miss Darkness!"

"Are you okay, Darkness?"

Sato Kazuma and others quickly ran over to check on her condition.

Huihui, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly said: "Void... Golem... Ah, I understand! So it means that the entire fifth floor... No, the entire maze tower is the body of the Void Golem, so it can stretch out its hands and feet at will, and even turn the stairs into a mouth."

"... It's really hard to see through the origin of the BOSS, but the most urgent thing is... How to rescue people!"

Sato Kazuma pulled Darkness's arm.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull her out.

This is also predictable. How can the BOSS's bite force easily break free? Besides, Sato Kazuma's points are still a thief-type profession that focuses on dexterity.

The bitten Darkness began to pant violently, as if she was suppressing something.

"Ha...ah...ha...ah..."

"Hey, Darkness, hold on! We'll rescue you now!"

"No, no need..."

"Ha? Don't be silly, you'll be bitten to death by the boss if you keep going like this!"

"That's good! Just let me be bitten to death like this! The pain of having my lower body bitten off... is awesome!"

?

When I typed a question mark, it wasn't me who had a problem, it was you who had a problem.

How come in a game where no one else wants to die, there are perverts who want to die?

Kirito, Asuna and others, who saw Darkness's perversion for the first time, were completely speechless with her.

Sato Kazuma let go of the hand that was still pulling.

"Kobayashi-senpai..."

"I understand, we must not let her succeed."

So when saving Darkness, Kobayashi and the others decisively chose the second method and completely defeated the boss with only one tube of blood left!

After understanding all the mechanisms, the boss on the fifth floor was no longer a concern.

Even when it turned into a stone statue again at the last bit of its health, it was still outnumbered and was quickly defeated by them. The word [congratulation] appeared on everyone's system interface.

Fifth level, successfully passed!
