Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 46 Lava Cave

Outside the cave, Tiberu has led the expeditionary army to gather here.

At this moment he was asking one of the thieves: "Did you see them enter this cave with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes," the thief replied.

All experienced players know that there is no way out of the maze. After defeating the monster deep in the maze, a teleportation crystal will appear and teleport the challenger to where he wants to go.

And those two people actually went in by themselves.

It seems that they also know that they have no other options, and are preparing for a desperate fight.

Tiberu immediately gave the order: "The enemy has entered the cave maze and seems to have nowhere to go. Everyone, follow me and kill those two!"

"Okay."xN

Then one after another, hundreds of people entered the cave together.

It was already night, and the cave was dark, so many people lit torches.

Then the group moved forward in a mighty manner.

But before long, someone started feeling unwell.

"Hey, do you feel hot?"

"Is it hot? It's because you are too fat." someone joked.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

"What he said is true. I feel a little hot, too."

The further you go in, the higher the temperature becomes. Hot magma will flow out of the surrounding walls. The fire from the magma is reflected by unknown crystals in the cave, slowly illuminating the cave.

The phenomenon at this time was very strange. We were clearly walking underground, but it became brighter and brighter.

Seeing this, everyone extinguished their torches.

When driving in such a bright one-way street, you can see everything ahead and there is no need to be on guard.

Except for the player leading the way in front, the players behind all relaxed, chatting, laughing, and playing around.

"Enemy attack, be on guard!"

As someone in the front of the team shouted, everyone became serious and prepared to face the attacking enemy.

Is that the man in black?

There is no answer to this question by myself. If you want to ask why, it is because there are too many people and I can’t see the front.

The assembled troops of the punitive army were of no use at all. Instead, the people in the front covered the eyes of the people behind, and the people behind blocked the retreat of the people in front.

The result is that only the people at the front of the team can fight the enemy.

The overall level of the team was relatively low, and they happened to encounter the [Lava Warrior] who had been angered by Kenshin.

Now the Lava Warrior is killing everyone at the front of the team.

"Damn it! They went into the cave on purpose, hoping to use the monsters to reduce our numerical advantage."

Tiberu understood everything instantly.

If you are hit by the Lava Warrior once, you will lose most of your blood, and the second hit will kill you directly.

What’s even more helpless is that there is nowhere to hide in this crowded and narrow cave.

Damn it, don't underestimate me.

Although he was tricked, Tiberu still quickly issued the correct instructions:

“Move the tank player to the front to clear the way, and go behind the monster to attract hatred.”

The monster's sight is drawn to the rear, leaving its back empty, allowing the player behind to deal damage.

In this way, they consumed the number of tanks while making their way forward.

……

At this time, Kirito and Kenshin have reached the end of the maze.

There are no walls here, so a large area is left vacant. The area is surrounded by hot magma, like an isolated island.

Staying on the outside, the two did not dare to move forward.

Jianxin asked: "Brother Tong, it feels a bit like..."

Before he could finish his words, Kirito interrupted:

"It looks like the boss's room. What a coincidence. I have a similar feeling."

The open and independent space can accommodate a large number of players, and the magma wraps around the ground, creating a depressing atmosphere.

It seemed that if I took one more step forward, the BOSS would appear.

Jianxin said, "Brother Tong, what should we do?"

After thinking for a while, Kirito uttered one word: "Wait..."

……

On the other hand, the expeditionary army defeated a total of 8 monsters including [Lava Warrior], [Lava Dragon], and [Lava Gunner] one after another.

But the expeditionary force itself also suffered heavy losses.

Letting the tank player attract the monster's attention to the back is undoubtedly the method with the lowest loss at present.

Using this method, the tank player will be constantly targeted by monsters and will have no time to recover.

"After calculation, 32 tanks and 6 swordsmen have been killed, and there are 274 people left in our team."

Listening to his subordinates' reports, Tiberu frowned slightly.

This was indeed a considerable loss. Although many tanks were defeated, the remaining people were more than enough to defeat the two men in black.

So he led the team forward.

In this way, the two sides met in front of the deepest part of the maze.

Tiberu looked at the two men and was stunned. He obviously recognized the man's identity - his teammate in the first-level BOSS battle.

Then he said, "You are Kirito. I didn't expect that the man in black was you and Kenshin beside you."

"You didn't expect that the man in black was me, but I expected that you were the one leading the crusade this time."

After hearing this, Dierberu smiled and said, "None of this matters anymore. Now the truth is out. Calling you Kirito makes us seem familiar, but calling you the man in black makes us seem distant. Come on, 'Black Swordsman', it's time to settle the feud between us."

After saying this, he drew his sword, and the team behind him also drew their weapons.

"Wait." Kirito raised his hand to gesture to stop.

Tiberu was not in a hurry: "Do you have any last words? Say it quickly."

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

This statement drew laughter from the crowd: "You are not joking at this moment."

Kirito sighed slightly: "It really won't work, so let's fight."

After saying that, he ran behind him.

Everyone was completely confused when they saw this. Why did he say such harsh words and then turn around and run away?

But the others didn't care about that. When they saw Kirito running away, they hurriedly chased after him, not caring where this place was at all. They were blinded by hatred.

"There are only two of them. Let's go together."

"Go ahead and kill him."

……

The shouts continued one after another, following Kirito into the deepest part of the lava cave.

Tiberu realized it belatedly and began to observe the surrounding environment.

A bottom surface surrounded by magma, with only one path leading into it, is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Why did the other party want to go in there?

A bad premonition came to my mind, wondering if I had fallen into a trap again.

At this time, everyone stood on the circular platform, forcing Kirito and Kenshin into a corner.

Seeing that the two had no way to escape, everyone slowly approached them.

"Run, why don't you two run?"

“Are you ready to confess?”

Facing the crowd approaching, Kirito smiled and said, "There's no need to run anymore."

Suddenly the platform shook violently, and magma flooded the passage, trapping everyone inside.

"Ah? What happened?"

“The ground is shaking!”

The magma then gathered in the center of the platform, growing higher and larger, and then a lava creature over 5 meters tall with hands but no feet appeared.

The moment it appeared, it sucked all the people in the center of the platform into its body, and then all the players turned into skeletons.

After killing 24 players in an instant, the monster's name appeared in everyone's eyes.

[Second Floor Guardian: Lava Demon]

"It's actually the second-level BOSS?!"
