Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Sensing the arrival of a stranger, a huge figure appeared next to the stone gate.

Everyone looked at the monster's name:

【Rumble Giant】

His body is as thick as a city wall, and his arms are crossed like a dedicated guard.

The monster was only slightly smaller than the stone gate, but the huge creature in front of them still made everyone dare not take it lightly.

Furuikong reminds everyone:

"Be careful, this monster looks very powerful."

Black Toast is eager to try:

"That's how it should be. After all, it's a legendary quest. How can it highlight the rich rewards if it's not a little bit more difficult?"

"That's true..." Fu Ruikong picked up the double-edged axe again and rushed forward: "Just like in the beginning of practice, I will attract this guy's hatred first."

This time the enemy was too huge, so he chose to give him a 'nail trim'.

"Spinning Slash"

This was originally a skill commonly used by two-handed greatsword players, but it works perfectly on double-edged axes.

The monster was attracted by the enemy under its feet and swung one arm to smash it down.

There was a loud "boom", followed by smoke and dust that blocked the view.

Black Toast hurriedly asked his companion: "Are you okay?"

When the dust settled, the monster's arm fell beside Fu Ruikong's body, almost touching it.

If it had been half a meter closer, it might have turned into meat paste.

Fu Ruikong touched his intact body and breathed a sigh of relief:

"I was so scared. I almost made it too late. It seems that my half-tank warrior is still faster than the full-tank monster."

At this time, the assassin's voice came:

"Don't be careless, it's not over yet."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and found that the other party had actually run along the monster's torso and all the way to the top of the monster's head.

"Backstab"

I saw him pierce the monster's head directly from top to bottom with his two daggers.

At this time, the assassin was located above the monster's head, and the bulky stone man could not cast his sights above him.

It turns out that this method is used to enter the blind spot of vision, and then use the damage bonus of the assassin's blind spot to increase the damage.

I have to say, this guy is a genius at playing assassin.

"Well done, now it's my turn."

Black Toast pulled several arrows from his quiver and loaded his bow with them all at once.

"Five-shot"

Arrows were shot out continuously like bullets, directly into the monster's body.

"Well done, I didn't expect you to have such a talent?"

Fu Ruikong never thought that someone could turn a bow and arrow into a crossbow.

At this time, only one quarter of the monster's health bar was left.

"Let me make the final blow." He raised the double-edged axe again.

Now is the best time for the monster to reach up to its head with its two arms to search for the assassin.

"Explosive Slash!"

Cut it in half with one stroke, and this time the monster's health bar was completely cleared to zero.

The assassin jumped down from the monster's head: "Well done."

The shooter also came over to the two of them and asked: "Does this mean that the mission has been accomplished?"

Furuikong laughed: "We just defeated a gatekeeper monster. It's still early."

Just as they were discussing, the monster's arm suddenly swung again.

"Be careful!"

The first one spotted was the shooter 'Black Toast'.

Thanks to the constant need for archery, he has a keen sense of changes in the surrounding situation.

But it was too late to warn him now, and the assassin was directly punched into the ground.

When the monster raised his arms, there was no trace of him below.

Obviously, he was killed instantly.

Furuikong began to sweat: "Why, didn't we destroy it?"

"No, that's not right. Look at its health bar."

After being reminded by his companions, Fu Ruikong looked towards the top of the monster's head.

I discovered that the health bar that had originally returned to zero is now intact.

And in this moment of distraction, he was also taken away by the monster.

"It looks like a monster that has the ability to revive once..."

The ghost on the side spoke slowly, as if the death of the invited helper was just a trivial matter.

Then he continued: "But I still want to thank you for letting me know a lot about this place."

This made Black Toast realize more clearly: "Are you... just using us?"

"No, we have a mutually beneficial relationship..."

The White Ghost's tone was no longer kind and calm, but instead sounded somewhat disdainful and annoyed.

“But now you are of no value. Go away.”

Just as he finished speaking, the arm of the Rumbling Stone Man fell again.

The last person was also eliminated.

……

There was a flash of black light, and the white ghost came to the ground again.

It muttered to itself: "It seems that to get there, we need a more powerful 'helper'."

But who to look for?

Observing them one by one is too time-consuming and laborious. It would be great if there was an easier way.

Thinking of this, he raised his head, and in the sky high above where ordinary players would not pay any attention, a blurry shadow appeared in his eyes.

"…What is that?"

……

A hundred meters above the ground, two people were sitting on a winged staff and observing the ground.

It was Sakura and Tomoyo who entered SAO.

“Where are we now?”

Chiyo zoomed in on the ground with her camera: "I don't know. It's just a wilderness of grass and rocks. There's not even a hint of a city."

Sakura felt like crying but had no tears.

I originally planned to sneak into the school at night, but after entering here it became daytime.

Could it be that they had unknowingly arrived on the other side of the earth?

Looking at the surrounding environment, could it be that we are on the African savannah?

"Don't be sad. Coming here may be destiny..."

At this moment, Chise's tone turned serious.

"Sakura, something is coming up."

"hoe?"

"It's moving very fast, it seems... it's coming towards us?"

Chiyo looked at the image in the camera, which could clearly reflect the distant scene.

But not long after, she put the camera down.

Because the creatures coming over are already visible to the naked eye.

Sakura looked down and saw a white light flying towards her like a shooting star.

"It's really coming towards us. Oh no, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Emergency avoidance.

Sakura tried hard to change direction and was able to avoid it.

But the white light stopped in front of the two of them.

Then the white light began to change into a human form, revealing its true appearance.

The transparent body has blue lines on it, and the platinum and gold pupils add a sense of mystery.

It hovered in mid-air like a ghost, folded its arms, and spoke to Sakura in a calm tone:

"You seem to have some strange powers, could you help me with a little favor?"

Sakura had only seen such a 'creature' when the Clow Cards transformed into their true form.

So he asked the other party: "Are you... a card (Clow Card)?"

The ghost frowned, seeming reluctant to admit this identity.

But I don’t want to miss out on the candidate with good qualifications.

So he answered casually: "The main body is indeed a card (Yu-Gi-Oh card), so what does it matter if you know this?"

"Nothing...just..."

When collecting cards normally, it is usually the Clow Cards that come out first to cause trouble, and then Sakura will passively capture them.

But this is the first person who has self-awareness, takes the initiative to come to me, and even asks for help.

This left Sakura at a loss as to what to do.

But in the end, he explained his purpose to the other party.

"Actually, I'm here to conquer you."

Hearing these words, the ghost felt like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha - OMG Roy."

When it finished laughing, it said to Sakura: "It all depends on your ability. If you can help me achieve my goal, I will not only let you conquer me without complaint, but I will also give you a gift."

It seems that this is the condition for conquering the opponent.

Sakura smiled and nodded: "I see, I'm 'Kinomoto Sakura', could you please tell me your name before I help you?"

Name…Name…

The ghost seemed to suddenly think of something and blurted out: "My name is Astral."
