Chapter 30: Gathering the Will to Break Through the Sky
The sound of intertwining swords, the girl's desperate cry, and the buzzing of wings all over the sky kept rolling back and forth in Su Chen's ears. He didn't know when he closed his eyes, and his impetuous heart calmed down. What just happened was incredible.
The things happened vividly in my mind.
If you can even ignore the system's instructions, then this ability is too buggy. Thinking back to the last state where Kirito stabbed Kayaba Akihiko, Su Chen couldn't help but clicked his tongue. In his opinion, this thing has been broken.
It follows the rules and is a product outside the rules.
As long as there are games, there will be cheats, but cheats are more or less based on the game itself, that is, the act of changing game parameters. But that is not the case. It exists completely independently and has nothing to do with the game.
Correlation is an extremely mysterious thing.
Recalling the conversation with the mysterious man, Su Chen opened his eyes and murmured with furrowed eyebrows.
"Will? Or..."
"clang"
Stopping a long sword that was about to pierce his chest, Su Chen sighed. Sure enough, he still had to go up to figure it out. The mysterious guy didn't explain clearly, and this thing was too abstract.
The situation is very unfavorable for them now. The Guardian Knights seem to have defeated them. Although the frequency of attacks has been reduced, their position has been surrounded by layers. This has never been encountered in previous games.
, is it because of that guy Kirito? Su Chen stared at the swordsman in black who kept slashing desperately in the distance.
Then he smiled calmly, thinking that it was useless to think so much.
"Well, just do your best and obey fate."
...
Lyfa and Ziye, who were standing below, looked at more and more guardian knights gathering in the sky, and the despair in their eyes continued to grow.
"Is this the end of it?"
"If this continues..."
Looking at Su Chen and the two people who were targeted by several bow and arrow elves in the air, Leafa gradually put down her hands for casting spells. She had given up on treatment in her heart. Death might be the natural outcome. After all, everything is preset by the system. No one
It can be broken through.
Leafa showed a sad expression, and her tears seemed a little uncontrollable. Ziye also looked at the sky in despair. They had used up all the recovery items, and the magic values in the status bar had also been exhausted. There was no supply or recovery.
The two of them couldn't hold on for much longer.
Suddenly, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came from beneath her. Leafa, who had completely given up her resistance, was shaken all over and turned her head to stare in the direction of the entrance in disbelief.
What came into view were uniform wind elf warriors, pouring into the dungeon in a steady stream. Each warrior was equipped with a floodlighting sophisticated suit and held a rare weapon in his hand. Among them were many comrades whom Leafa recognized.
He's a pretty powerful player.
"Wind Elf Troops?"
Su Chen and Kirito in the air also looked at the ground after fighting, looking a little surprised at the arrival of the wind elves.
Perhaps due to the influx of a new group of players, these archer guards who were about to release their skills suddenly stopped singing, and their hatred seemed to have been reset, and they reorganized their formations to prepare to face the large army.
"roar"
After the wind elf warriors flew in, the sound of beasts roaring again came from the door.
"This... flying dragon!!"
Leafa was even more surprised when she saw the newly entered Flying Dragon Cavalry in front of her, and the last two figures that appeared made Leafa a little excited.
"Sakuya! Alyssa!"
"Sorry, Leafa Azusa, we are late. We mobilized craftsmen to forge the equipment before it was completed, which delayed a lot of time. This is all thanks to Kirito's sponsorship fee~"
"Well, the treasury has been drained, so we have to fight to the death!"
Sakuya and Alisa-Lu came to Leafa and said hello with a smile.
An unprecedented feeling enveloped Leafa, pulling her up from the abyss of despair. Regardless of the danger, the two crossed the so-called racial boundaries. Sure enough, in this world, there are more things than rules and regulations.
There is something more important than common sense, and she seemed to feel what her brother believed in.
Su Chen stared blankly at the scene in front of him. This was undoubtedly the largest battle he had ever encountered. In this fantasy world, it would not be too exciting to be immersed in it.
"Fire Breath, attack!"
Following Alyssa's command, the dragon's breath flames directly penetrated the swarming guardian knights, and more than a dozen flame pillars rushed straight into the group of guardian knights surrounding Su Chen and the others, while the wind elf warriors
Then when the guardian knight started to make a commotion and counterattack, he condensed the thunder spells, and the pure white runes illuminated the sword, making it dazzling.
"Giant Wolf Storm, release!!"
Following Shuo Ye's order, all the wind elf warriors tacitly pointed their swords straight at the guardian knight in front, and the sword body condensed with lightning instantly released an attack that was not inferior to the dragon's breath.
The knights who made a counterattack were crushed again by the wind elf's attack. Just two waves of attacks brought amazing results. At this moment, the number of knights in the air was significantly reduced.
Su Chen couldn't help but clicked his tongue a little. It was indeed easy to do things when there were so many people. The ancients did not deceive me.
"Kirito, what happens next depends on us."
"no problem!"
Driven by strong backup, the two men's fighting enthusiasm was once again ignited. They formed a formation with no blind spots, back to back. A guardian knight surrounding them took the lead in breaking through the air, aiming at Kirito with a strong offensive.
However, Kirito stood quietly in the air with no intention of evading.
A diagonal slash as fast as a meteor hit the guardian knight's sword in an instant. With just one move, Kirito deflected it. Just when it fell into a brief freeze due to Kirito's blow, a figure had already moved to it.
Above, the sword in his hand was faintly glowing with a lavender halo.
Blinking at Kirito, Su Chen sent the sword in his hand into the knight's body with the force of thunder. With a bang, the health bar was instantly cleared. With the extremely efficient and seamless cooperation between the two, the guardian knight was so easily ignored.
They were killed, and there were countless scenes like this in their memories.
"Good job!"
"Each other."
At this time, both their nervous reactions and combat status have almost reached their previous peak. Although the equipment is obviously worse than those of the wind elf warriors, you must know that the calculation of damage in ALO is never just increased by equipment.
Attack speed and attack angle are also very important, and they have undoubtedly brought these two values to a height that ordinary people cannot imagine. Those knights seemed to be sliced open as easily as tofu and dispersed into white mist.
At the same time, the wind elf warriors and the dragoons continued to involve most of the guardian knights, so that both Kirito and Su Chen were much less stressed when facing the knights' attacks. Now the overall battle situation is compared to
Their team had never been too relaxed before.
Soon they were back on the spot where Regen had self-destructed. The gap caused by the explosion had disappeared, and the wall of guardian knights had been repaired. The two of them did not hesitate at all, ignoring the guardian knights who formed the wall, like indestructible enemies.
It cut through the sky like a spear and pierced into it. The wind elves and cat demons behind them also used violent attacks at the same time to coordinate their actions.
Although the number of knights is large, it is always limited, and the distance to the zenith seems far away, but it is within reach. As the two roared and stabbed their swords at the last guardian knight standing in front of them, the guardian knight was covered in darkness.
A ray of light shone from the covered sky, like a sharp blade piercing the darkness, cutting away the despair in Leafa Ziye's heart.
Yes, the seemingly unreachable and untouchable zenith was now only one step away from them.
"Ahhh!"
Perhaps because he broke through the shackles, Kirito's confidence soared, and his fearless momentum became extremely exaggerated. It seemed that he was preparing to break through this dungeon and reach its peak in one fell swoop.
Just as the two broke through the encirclement and were about to fly towards the last door leading to the top of the tree, the scene suddenly changed, and the last guardian knight at the top appeared from the mirror, representing the last guardian knight in the copy of the World Tree.
As the last guardian knight, although there are no more than thirty in total, all of them are at the lord level. Whether it is combat skills or ability parameters, they are not at the same level as the knights below. There are knights from all directions holding spears.
He rushed towards the two of them and let out weird screams to stop them from moving forward.
Roaring angrily, Kirito raised his sword and rushed forward with all his might, feeling quite heroic as though he was fighting against thousands of people.
Su Chen didn't know if it was because of an illusion or something, but he always felt that there was something different about the guy in front of him. It wasn't because of the so-called aura or the attribute bug on the character panel. In short, it was an inexplicable feeling.
The light in his eyes gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
A picture emerged in his mind, which was a picture of a young man dying together with a man wearing bright red armor. The young man in the picture had such a look in his eyes. Although it was incredible, Su Chen couldn't help but look at this guy next to him with strange eyes.
, could this guy have entered that state again?
"Damn it, how on earth did you get into that state!"
Recalling the previous conversation with that mysterious guy, Su Chen became a little irritable at this moment. It was incredible to think that he could overcome the so-called system paralysis, and it was even more incredible to be knocked down by Kayaba Akihiko with a shield.
It's so funny, there's no such thing as...
etc.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked some details before, some important details, although it was only a short moment, but it was extremely shocking when he looked at it at the moment. That was when he was about to block Kayaba Akihiko from piercing Kirito's body.
The sword appeared in the same state as Kirito.
"Is that so? I understand. Sure enough, there is no way to prove it without pushing yourself to the limit. Alas, so this is my choice...?"
Su Chen murmured something incomprehensible, and looked at Kirito with a confused expression. Then his face returned to calmness, but a different smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as clear as a clear spring, with deep purple eyes.
There is a faint hint of splendor deep in the pupils.
"Tsk, he's such a dishonest guy. Why don't you just tell me the answer? It's really troublesome."
Taking the one-handed sword thrown by Su Chen, Kirito nodded knowingly. If he wanted to break through the siege at this moment, he must use his strongest attack. Although he no longer had the sword skills of the two-handed sword style, he could still wield it as long as he never forgot.
The long sword and the so-called sword skills are just the product of imagination. After two years of accumulation, the fighting instinct that penetrated into the bone marrow was awakened in Kirito's subconscious.
"Come on, Kirito!!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Kirito let out a roar that shocked the entire audience, made a hand gesture with two swords, then flapped his wings and rushed towards the Lancer at extreme speed, using the swords in both hands to launch a seamless attack.
The twinkling swords erupted like a solar corona like a total solar eclipse, and the bodies of all the knights involved were chopped into pieces like paper. The light and shadow of the sword dragged out a light blue sword light like a comet and sank into the top of the sky.
"Tsk~ It's really a good comparison. It's a solid one."
After complaining about Kirito's unparalleled behavior, Su Chen took out a one-handed sword from the inventory. Looking at the remaining ten gun knights who were gradually gathering as well as the sword knights and bow knights who were outflanking them from below, his fighting spirit instantly soared.
, the purple pupils were gradually replaced by gold, and a pain that penetrated into the bone marrow flowed through the whole body. Sure enough, it was this familiar feeling.
Chapter completed!
