“Ding! Ding!!”

Swords clashed.

Fang Zheng swung the sword in his hand vigorously, blocking the axe of the Kobold Lord, and then he raised his hands upwards, instantly deflecting the attack of the Kobold Lord. At the same time, Esther leaped up from the side, the long sword in his hand emitting a dazzling brilliance, and then spread out, piercing the body of the Kobold Lord.

“Ooooooooooooooooo!!!”

The attacked Kobold Lord immediately raised his shield and smashed it towards Esther. Esther quickly rolled back, and at the same time, Restia on the other side quickly stepped forward to fill the position, and continued to burst out with a piercing attack with a sword skill. At the same time, Fang Zheng also raised his sword high and swung it down with force!

"Bang!!"

With the sound of breaking, the next moment the Kobold Lord suddenly fell to his knees, so Fang Zheng stepped forward with a big sword and - this damn game can't execute him! !

Damn it POI!

Looking at the amount of health that was reduced after he slashed the Kobold Lord with his sword, Fang Zheng cursed inwardly. This was just a broken online game world, where everything was just data. Even with a critical hit damage bonus, it was impossible to kill a Boss in one second...

If this were the world of Dark Souls, no matter if you are the nameless king or the incarnation of the Lord of Fire, I will chop your head off with this sword!

With no other choice, Fang Zheng had to sheath his sword and step back. Almost at the moment when he was about to step back, the Kobold Lord suddenly stood up and swung his axe at Fang Zheng.

After fighting with the first-tier lord for a while, Fang Zheng had almost figured out the boss's movements. Specifically, this boss really deserves to be the first boss. In most games, the first boss either lets players get familiar with the various skills of the boss battle, or tests the players' mastery of the character's skills. As long as these two points are mastered, the boss itself, apart from having a higher attack damage, a higher HP, and a larger attack range, does not pose any other threats.

If this was just an ordinary online game, this Gnoll Lord would have been pinned to the ground and rubbed a hundred and eighty times by players. The reason why it can live leisurely until now is entirely because the perverted setting of this death game itself makes players dare not take risks.

But unfortunately, after meeting Fang Zheng, its wonderful life as a boss came to an end...

“How amazing…!!”

While Fang Zheng and the others were fighting, at the other end of the hall, Yuna and Agil were excitedly clenching their hands, watching the battle not far away. Although they were not experienced players, they could see that the situation on the field was very good.

Fang Zheng led Esther and Restia to hold back the Lord Boss while grinding his health. Not far away from them, Leafa and Black Cat, Gabriel and Aoba, Yuki and Asuna formed three teams to deal with the Kobold Guards in front of them.

Under their fierce attack, the three kobold guards had basically no outstanding performance and were completely beaten to a standstill. If it weren't for the fact that they were at least small monsters in the boss battle, with higher defense and health than ordinary monsters, they would have died by now.

Only Eriri stood not far behind the crowd, holding a dagger in one hand and scanning the entire battlefield vigilantly. As a dagger user, Eriri's own attack power was not high, so Fang Zheng did not let her fight, but put her in the back, using Eriri's keen observation to scan the entire battlefield, so that if any accidents occurred, it would be easy to remedy.

"I want to record this fight!"

Yuna also quickly opened the system and started recording the battle in front of her. This was the first step for the players to take on the challenge. Judging from the current situation, these people should be able to defeat - no, they will definitely defeat the Boss of the first floor. She would never miss this historic moment!

“Ga ga ga!!”

The kobold guard screamed and pounced over again. At this moment, its health was almost empty. But even so, Qingye, who was standing in front of the kobold guard, was not careless at all. She raised the shield in her hand to block in front of her, allowing the kobold guard's hammer to hit the shield heavily, and then pushed forward with force.

"Miss Gabriel!"

"I know!"

Gabriel came jogging over with a one-handed hammer in her hand, then she raised the hammer and swung it forward.

"In the name of the angels, I will send you to hell!"

"Bang!!"

As Gabriel spoke, she swung the one-handed hammer in her hand mercilessly, smashing it hard on the head of the kobold guard. Then the remaining blood of the kobold guard was reduced to zero in an instant, and he screamed and turned into pieces and disappeared into the air.

"call……"

Seeing the enemy in front of her disappear, Aoba couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Eriri's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Qingye, be careful on the right side, it's refreshed!"

If it was Aoba who had just entered the game, she would have been confused by now. But now, when she heard Eriri's prompt, although Aoba herself hadn't figured out what was going on, her body had already turned around quickly according to the instinctive reaction she had learned during training, and then raised the shield to block the vital parts of her chest and abdomen.

“Swish!!”

It was not until then that Qingye was surprised to see a spear falling from the sky, brushing past her shield and the edge of her shoulder, and then a kobold soldier jumped down screaming and crashed into her shield!

"Hey!"

At this time, Qingye also reacted, and hurriedly slapped the shield forward, hitting the ogre soldier on the head. Then Gabriel rushed over from the side and smashed him away with a hammer.

"Are you okay, Aoba?"

"I, I'm fine... Miss Gabriel, I just lost a little HP."

As she spoke, Qingye also let out a long breath and glanced at her HP. Fortunately, her HP was still within the safety line. Because Qingye defended herself in time, the monster only deducted a small part of her HP from the previous attack, and the U coins were enough for her to withdraw from the battle.

At this moment, Qingye also took a breath, and then tightened the weapon in his hand.

"Let's continue!"

Time passed by, the battle in front was extremely fierce, and Yuna and Agil in the back were sweating coldly, and they wanted to rush up to join the battle several times. But thinking of what the man said before the battle, the two suppressed their impatience and watched the battle in front of them gradually come to an end...

"--roar!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard. Upon hearing the roar, almost everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from. They saw that the HP of the Kobold Lord had dropped to the lowest red warning line!

“It must succeed!!”

Seeing this, Yuna and Agil were so excited that they wanted to rush over to help Fang Zheng and others completely eliminate the first-level lords. However, at this moment, the Kobold Lord suddenly raised his hands, threw away the shield and axe in his hands, and then drew out the sword behind him!

Attack mode changes!

After taking out the katana, the Gnoll Lord suddenly changed his original steady approach. He suddenly leaped up, stepped on the pillar next to him, crossed the defense line formed by Fang Zheng, Restia and Esther, and rushed towards Leafa and Black Cat who were fighting with the monsters in the back!

"not good!!"

Seeing this, Yuna and Agil's faces changed drastically. Although they had never fought on the front line, they knew what would happen if the monsters broke through the defense line. Not to mention that Leafa and Black Cat were focusing on dealing with the Kobold soldiers, and had no way to worry about the boss that fell from the sky!

However, at this moment, they saw Ying Lili, who had been standing in the venue, suddenly move!

The girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails lowered her body, the dagger in her hand emitting a dazzling glow of sword skills, and then Eriri leaped up like an arrow, and both she and her sword turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the kobold lord.

Facing the katana swung by the knives of the ogre lord, Eriri thrust out her sword without hesitation and hit the knives of the ogre lord!

"Bang!!"

If it were in the real world, the dagger held by Eriri would have no chance of competing with the katana of the Kobold Lord. However, it was completely different in this game world. At the moment when Eriri's dagger hit the Kobold Lord's katana, the Boss's weapon immediately bounced back according to the game's setting rules.

With this blow, the Kobold Lord lost his balance and flipped backwards in the air.

“Swish!!”

The pitch-black sword whizzed out and hit the kobold lord straight in the back, knocking him to the ground!

"boom!!"

The Kobold Lord fell heavily to the ground, and the greatsword that hit the Kobold Lord flipped and flew backwards. At the same time, Fang Zheng suddenly jumped up, grabbed the flying greatsword, clenched his hands, and chopped down at the Kobold Lord!

The cold sword pierced into the head of the Gnoll Lord. This time, the Gnoll Lord's defense finally reached its limit. Its head and body were directly split in half by Fang Zheng's sword. The next moment, accompanied by screams, the Gnoll Lord's huge body turned into information fragments in the air and shattered and disappeared.

“Bang, bang, bang!!”

As the Gnoll Lord fell, the monsters that had been besieging Fang Zheng and the others also shattered and disappeared. A pleasant horn sounded, and a line of information appeared in front of everyone.

[The Dark Moon Sword Guild successfully defeated the Lord of the first floor, and the passage between the first and second floors is officially opened! ]

Along with this line of information, the wall in front of everyone slowly fell down, revealing the hidden staircase inside.

“Success!!”

Looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, Aoba was stunned for a moment, then hugged Gabriel beside him. Yuki and Asuna also celebrated with high fives, Leafa stood there blankly, holding the katana in her hand, and seemed to have not yet reacted to what happened, while the black cat snorted coldly, raised his head proudly and laughed evilly.

"How can a mere kobold be a match for me, the Fallen Holy Black Cat? Even gods are no match for our powerful strength!"

"call……"

Only Eriri let out a long sigh, then sat down on the ground. She lowered her head, looked at her trembling hands, and couldn't help but smile.

"I never thought I could actually do this...hahaha, I can show off to that annoying Kasumigaoka Utaha when I get back!"

“Well done.”

Looking at the excited girls in front of him, Fang Zheng sheathed his sword and nodded with satisfaction.

"To be honest, I didn't expect them to do so well."

Restia also came over at this time, watching the scene of the girls celebrating in front of her with a little emotion. After all, in her opinion, these girls were just ordinary people, even worse than the princesses in their world. They took up weapons and started fighting in just a dozen days, but now, they have successfully taken the first step...

"Okay! Let's not talk about this!"

Fang Zheng clapped his hands vigorously.

"Everyone, it's time to open the box!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the girls hurried to Fang Zheng's side and looked at the treasure chest that appeared as the Kobold Lord disappeared.

"Who's going to open the box this time?"

"...Well, Gabriel, come on."

Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then pointed to Gabriel. He would not open the boxes again anyway. But now, almost everyone on his side had obtained sophisticated weapons, and he was the only one who hadn't opened one yet. This time... it should be his turn anyway.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Gabriel's eyes lit up. Then she rubbed her hands, walked to the treasure chest, and opened it.

A dazzling golden light appeared. Seeing this shining golden light, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Gabriel reached out and took out a...

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at this guitar-like thing in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. The others also came over and looked curiously at the strange thing in Gabriel's hand. It didn't look like a weapon at all. From the outside, it looked like a musical instrument...

"This... seems to be called Lute?"

"...Is this what Miss Yuna used to play just now?"

“…”

Fang Zheng looked at the lute in Gabriel's hand, then turned back to look at Yuna who was standing not far away and didn't know whether to come over... I have already planned this, but you actually gave me this? Are you kidding me! You would rather give me equipment that is not in our team than a two-handed sword? Are you trying to kill me?

Who is the planner of this crappy game? Come out and fight me for three hundred rounds! I will chop you to death!
