The multicolored Arrows of Light descended from the sky like rockets, exploding instantly and enveloping everyone within.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
A series of explosions echoed, occasionally blasting soone away. Fortunately, while the power of these Arrows of Light wasn’t weak, everyone qualified to enter this final raid battle was a top elite, and needless to say, their health points were definitely maxed out.
As the bombing ended, Fang Zheng raised his head to see the BOSS retreating. Imdiately afterward, a lush tree appeared behind the BOSS, and a drop of dew fell from the tree leaves into the gemstone on the BOSS’s forehead. Then, the crimson gemstones on the BOSS suddenly turned blue, and incredibly, the health points that had been reduced by the group were restored!
"This is......."
"It’s normal, everyone heal up. Gabriel, keep an eye on the gemstone on its forehead, break the shield and attack."
Compared to the others’ shock, Fang Zheng remained calm. Co on, this is the final BOSS, having three phases is standard procedure, so what’s the big deal about regenerating so health?
"Raid Group, activate Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear! Attack again! Everyone else, spread out. Don’t go to the front line if your health isn’t full, and always be ready to dodge and defend! Yuna, start singing, apply BUFF!"
Fang Zheng gave the command, and then he reached out to tap his waist. In the next mont, the Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear equipped on his legs activated, propelling Fang Zheng into the sky. At the sa ti, the other girls leapt up, lunging toward the BOSS.
Watching the scene before them, Black Snow Princess and Ang displayed envious expressions. They had attempted to use the Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear before, but either ended up disoriented afterward or nearly got themselves killed – it seed that without innate talent, all they could do was watch with envy.
The battle comnced once more, with the Raid Group observing the final BOSS’s actions while constantly defending and switching up their attacks. Since the final BOSS had two layers of defense unlike ordinary bosses, this significantly increased its difficulty.
First, they had to divide a portion of people to block the BOSS’s attacks, while the others needed to swiftly break the shield, before finally being able to deal damage.
The final BOSS truly lived up to its reputation, not only having a wide attack range but also employing many Magic Departnt attack thods, such as unleashing multicolored Arrows of Light and emitting red Light Beams from its eyes to sweep through the crowd. One careless mistake could make many fall victim.
Although individual attack damage was manageable, if hit by consecutive wide-range AOE attacks, many players would find themselves in a very dangerous state in terms of health points.
"Clang!!"
With a shattering sound, the shield around the BOSS was penetrated again. anwhile, Black Snow Princess and Ang quickly retreated, and then Fang Zheng and Yuki descended from the sky, wielding their Greatsword and Dual Blade, and struck at the BOSS with force.
"Cross Slash!"
"Starburst Stream Slash!"
The Greatsword exploded like a Red Dragon, and the dazzling, frenzied sword light intertwined, striking the BOSS’s massive body like a heavy hamr. With a pained scream, the BOSS staggered back a few steps, roaring and swinging its weapon again. Concurrently, several tendrils shot up from the ground, shooting in all directions.
"Scatter!!"
After the preceding round of attacks, Fang Zheng had mostly figured out the BOSS’s behavior pattern. After suffering heavy damage and losing health points, it would perform this move to drive players away, then Summon that tree to heal. For average players, this was indeed a fatal situation.
However, the problem was that while the final BOSS was formidable, Fang Zheng’s side was essentially cheating.
"Swish, swish, swish!!"
Following Fang Zheng’s command, the girls of the Dark Moon Sword imdiately activated their Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear, flying into the air like fairies, dodging the tendril attacks erupting from the ground. As expected, Fang Zheng saw the final BOSS retreat, and the green tree reappeared behind it.
"Gabriel, now!"
"I know......."
Even though Gabriel’s voice was still in her usual half-dead tone as if she was caught sleeping in class and hadn’t fully awakened, in contrast, her eyes were now sharp like an eagle’s.
At the sa ti, Gabriel drew three arrows, seamlessly nocked them on the bowstring, and shot them!
"Whoosh!"
Three arrows flew out simultaneously, hitting the gemstone atop the BOSS’s head in the blink of an eye, causing the BOSS to flinch backward. As a result, the BOSS didn’t receive any healing, and the drop of dew that fell from the leaf grazed the BOSS’s body, landing on the ground and disappearing.
The BOSS staggered, and the tree behind it vanished as well.
"Keep attacking!!"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Although Gabriel was lazy and reclusive, her skill was still reliable. With her around, things on his side got a lot easier!
Ti ticked by.
Overall, the battle against the final BOSS was progressing smoothly. Fang Zheng was in charge of full command and offense, Aoba and Seven Seas handled defense, Gabriel focused on interrupting the BOSS’s healing, and the remaining team mbers either broke the shield or switched to outputting damage. They fought persistently with the BOSS.
Of course, there were still casualties during the battle. As the final BOSS, it was only natural for its attack range to be vast, its damage high, and its attack frequency rapid. Under such circumstances, unlucky players or those reacting too slowly would inevitably die.
Fang Zheng couldn’t do anything about this. The battle was so intense that he couldn’t oversee the entire field, especially as the BOSS’s health points decreased, its attack frequency increased, and its released Skills beca less predictable, making it even harder to deal with. Often, it relied on the team’s on-the-spot reactions to barely fend it off.
But, after all, they managed to hold on!
"—————!!"
Finally, after another round of attacks, the BOSS’s health dropped into the red zone. At the sa ti, the BOSS let out a furious roar.
It’s going berserk!
"Everyone, attention!"
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng felt a jolt in his heart. However, the BOSS reacted more swiftly this ti than ever before. It raised its weapon and started a wild spin, scaring the girls into quickly flying in different directions to avoid the attack. However, at that mont, Fang Zheng noticed the BOSS’s eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling red radiance......
"Not good, quickly scatter!"
Yet, before Fang Zheng’s words had even finished, a bright red light beam shot straight out from the BOSS’s eyes, aiming towards Yuki not far away!
"Whoosh———!"
Yuki’s response was quick. The mont she realized she was being targeted by the BOSS, she flipped over and leaped, then activated her Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear to swiftly drift to the left. However, the beam relentlessly pursued Yuki, showing no signs of stopping.
Yet at this mont, Yuki found herself with nowhere to retreat. If she continued moving in that direction, she would lead the BOSS’s beam into the crowd!
Thinking of this, Yuki seed to make a decision. She suddenly stepped on the wall, then dodged to the other side!
That idiot!
As Yuki made her move, Fang Zheng imdiately sensed her intention. Obviously, Yuki intended to sacrifice herself to protect the others. But......did you ask if you wanted to die?
"Eiriri, Black Cat, move! Gabriel, attack the BOSS’s eyes, block it for !"
At that mont, Yuki landed steadily after a flip, her dual swords crossed, glaring at the red beam that trailed behind her. She couldn’t help but take a breath———although Yuki was prepared to sacrifice herself, in the face of death, she ultimately still......
"Get out of the way———!!"
However, just at that mont, a sharp scream suddenly echoed in Yuki’s ears. Yuki was surprised to see Eiriri carrying Black Cat, maneuvering the Three-Dinsional Gear, flying over from the air. Eiriri then aid Black Cat at Yuki and hurled her forcefully!
"Bang!!"
Black Cat, descending like a cannonball, collided directly into Yuki, knocking her away. Black Cat then rolled to a stop, stood up, and lifted the black umbrella in her hands, opening it abruptly.
"Boom!!"
The red light beam struck Black Cat’s umbrella, and Black Cat gritted her teeth, standing in front of Yuki to defend against the BOSS’s attack.
"Ugh... what a joke, just a re BOSS, daring to act fierce in front of , the Nightmare Queen... let show you the power of my Dark Power......"
While resisting the attack of the red light beam, Black Cat still rembered to recite her chuunibyou lines, but at the sa ti, her health points were rapidly decreasing.
"Black Cat...!"
"Don’t worry, there’s still soone else!"
"Boom!!"
As if to validate Black Cat’s words, at that mont, the BOSS’s shield was shattered again. At the sa ti, an arrow from Gabriel seed to be guided automatically, piercing through the BOSS’s eye.
"—————!!"
The scream sounded again, and the BOSS, in pain, lifted its head, letting out a furious roar.
In the next second, a pitch-black sword light fell from the sky.
"Boom!!"
Fang Zheng’s greatsword slashed straight into the BOSS’s forehead, and then all the way down, from the forehead to the chin, to the chest and abdon, before landing heavily.
At the sa ti, the BOSS’s health points hit zero.
"Boom!!!"
Dazzling radiance exploded and scattered, and then the BOSS’s massive body vanished without a trace.
"......"
For a mont, no one in the room spoke. Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, as if they didn’t know what had just happened.
Then, an emotionless electronic voice quietly erged.
"Ergency notification to all players: The ga is now in forced managent mode, all creatures and item transactions are suspended, all NPCs have been withdrawn, and all players’ health is locked at maximum—Aincrad standard ti, March 5th, ga strategy completed."
"We will log you out of the ga one by one, please stay where you are and wait. I repeat once more......"
Hearing the electronic voice in his ear, Fang Zheng closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
He didn’t bother to see what the final BOSS dropped; at this point, there was no need.
The ga... was over.
