Fang Zheng set aside a week for everyone to adjust and rest, and after that, finally, this day arrived.
Final strategy day.
“Everything is ready.”
Fang Zheng checked his equipment and props again, then he raised his head and looked at Esther and Restia in front of him.
"Are you guys ready too?"
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Esther nodded slightly, and Restia also chuckled.
"Of course, Master, we are ready. Next, it's time for the final battle."
"dad……"
Hearing this, Yui stood up and looked at Fang Zheng uneasily, while Fang Zheng looked at Yui and reached out to touch her hair.
"Don't worry, Yui, when everything is over, I will take you away from this world."
"Um!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Yui smiled and nodded vigorously.
“Come on, Dad!”
"Don't worry, I won't lose."
After saying this, Fang Zheng opened the door and walked out of the room.
When he arrived at the square of the resident guild, all the members of the Dark Moon Sword Guild, led by Asuna and Yuki, stood there quietly, waiting for him to appear.
Fang Zheng brought Esther and Restia to the front of the crowd. He looked forward, looked at the girls in front of him, and then raised his hand.
"As you all know, this day has finally arrived."
“…”
"Two years, three months, and fifteen days have passed since we were locked into this game. We have encountered many dangers and setbacks along the way. However, we have overcome them all and have come this far. Today is the time to end it all!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng suddenly clenched his fists. At the same time, the girls stared at him nervously.
"We will go to the 100th floor of the Ruby Palace and destroy the final boss, so that we can escape from this world and return to reality."
Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at the people in front of him one by one.
"Although we are trapped in this world, I am very happy to know you, live and fight with you. But don't worry, this is just a short separation. After leaving this world, we will meet again in the real world. At that time... we will celebrate again...!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his hand.
"The victory banquet of the battle against the 100th floor boss!"
“Ohhhhhhhh!!”
As Fang Zheng spoke, the others picked up their weapons, held them high, and shouted excitedly.
"Come on, big brothers and big sisters, you must win!"
“You must stay alive!”
"come on!!"
"Victory belongs to us!!"
very good.
Looking at the girls with high morale, Fang Zheng nodded, then he gripped his sword tightly and pointed it forward.
"Set off!"
Aincrad, 100th floor, Ruby Palace.
“I never thought that we would actually get here.”
Looking at the magnificent and tall palace in front of her, Kuroyukihime couldn't help but sigh.
"Now that I think about it, it seems like the game was launched just yesterday..."
"But we've been here for two years, Kuroyuki-hime."
Ang, holding a heavy axe, walked over from the side and looked at Kuroyukihime with a smile.
"Now it's time to leave this world and return home."
"yes……"
Hearing what Ang said, Kuroyukihime nodded.
"Next, we just have to wait for the Dark Moon Sword..."
"We're already here."
However, before Kuroyukihime finished her words, Fang Zheng's voice emerged from behind the two of them. Then Fang Zheng walked over and nodded at them.
“You’re here.”
"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Seeing Fang Zheng appear, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. However, Fang Zheng did not say anything else but just made a gesture.
"Let's go."
No one spoke along the way until they arrived at the gate of the Ruby Palace.
The Lord's gate of the Ruby Palace is also red, and it looks as if it is stained with blood, and it also has a sense of tacky splendor - this artist must not be good at design, otherwise how could he create such an ugly scenery.
But for Fang Zheng, this is not important.
"We have done everything we should have said and done."
Standing at the gate, Fang Zheng once again looked at the players behind him. This time, including Dark Nebula and the Red Knights, there were a total of 35 players participating in the strategy. Including Fang Zheng's 15-man strategy team, there were exactly two 25-man teams. Most of the Red Knights were heavily armored, holding large shields and long swords, focusing on defense, while Dark Nebula cooperated with Fang Zheng to create a 10-man longbow archer team.
During the cooperation, it was basically the Dark Nebula cooperating with Fang Zheng's strategy team to output damage, and the Red Knights were responsible for protecting the Dark Nebula's shooters. They fought all the way and rarely encountered any rivals.
"Next up is the final battle. Everyone cheer up and go!"
After saying this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, then walked in first, and then the others followed closely behind him and entered the lord room of the final boss.
The final boss's room looked like a huge circular hole, and standing in it was a nearly ten-meter-tall female monster, who was pale and wearing red armor, holding a sword in one hand and a spear in the other. There were also several bright red circular decorations on the white decorations extending from the top of her head.
“So big…”
Everyone gasped as they looked at the Boss in front of them. It was not like they had never fought against huge Bosses before, but this was the first time they had encountered such a powerful Boss that was full of oppression.
At this moment, the Boss also noticed the people entering the battle area. It raised its head and stared coldly at the enemies in front of it.
The next moment, the door that was originally open closed heavily.
"superior!!"
With the sound of a heavy door closing, the final boss battle in this death game world began.
Fang Zheng roared, and rushed forward with a big sword and a musket in hand. Seeing Fang Zheng's charge, the final boss also clenched the spear in his right hand and stabbed at Fang Zheng with force!
"call!!!"
A spear as big as a chimney whizzed towards Fang Zheng, and just as it stabbed, Fang Zheng rolled over to avoid the Boss's attack. But at the same time, the Boss raised the greatsword in his other hand and chopped down at Fang Zheng with all his might.
At the same time, Fang Zheng raised the musket in his hand!
"Bang!!"
Finally, the Boss's movements paused slightly, but he continued to chop down, while Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his hand and swung it hard at the chopped blade!
"clang!!"
With the sound of metal collision, the Boss's attack was finally blocked this time, and at the same time, Fang Zheng fell into a state of stiffness.
“Switch!”
“Haaaaaah…!!”
Following Fang Zheng's shout, Esther, Restia, Asuna and Yuki rushed out from the left and right, the weapons in their hands flashing with sword lights as they chopped down at the huge body of the final boss!
However, their weapons did not hit the Boss's body and cause damage as usual. On the contrary, just as their weapons were about to hit the Boss, a shield appeared out of nowhere and blocked their attacks.
"Double defense!"
Seeing this scene, the other players were also surprised. Generally speaking, the boss's attack can directly cause damage to it as long as it is blocked, but the final boss is obviously worthy of being the final boss, and it is not so easy for players to kill it.
“Switch!”
The attack failed, and the four quickly retreated. Then Leafa and Lingyin, Kuroyukihime and Ang quickly followed and attacked the Boss again!
And this time, the Boss's shield was finally completely shattered by the joint attack of everyone!
“Shoot!!”
Shi Nong, who was already ready, gave the order while raising the longbow in her hand. Following her order, the longbow archers of Dark Nebula also raised their bows and arrows, aimed at the Boss in front of them, and shot an arrow! !
Several arrows whizzed through the air and hit the Boss's body, instantly reducing some of the Boss's health. At this moment, Fang Zheng's stiffness time also ended. He rolled over to the Boss's feet, then swung the sword in his hand fiercely, slashing at the Boss's body with the sword light.
In this round of fierce attack, one of the Boss's ten health bars has been emptied. However, since it is the final Boss, he will naturally not be defeated so easily.
“Crack…Crack…”
Fang Zheng keenly noticed that the floor beneath Boss's feet began to break and explode. Seeing this, Fang Zheng was also startled and quickly pulled back.
"Everyone, retreat! Put up shields!"
Before Fang Zheng finished speaking, the ground at the feet of the final boss suddenly cracked, and dozens of thick and huge roots suddenly shot out from under the floor and rushed towards the players in front of them. At this time, Qingye and Nanami also hurried forward, facing the roots flying in front of them, raised their shields, aimed their swords and stabbed them hard.
“Ka——!”
The next moment, the heavy shield immediately unfolded and turned into a solid fortress. The girls quickly gathered together and hid behind the shield barrier. Then the bombardment condensed by the roots also flew over, hitting Aoba and Nanami's shield barrier and the shield formation formed by the Red Knights in the back.
“Wow——!!”
Although Aoba and Nanami blocked the attack, the Red Knights in the rear obviously did not have such good luck. Several shield-wielding knights were caught off guard and were immediately knocked away.
However, the Final Boss's attack obviously did not stop there. Fang Zheng saw it suddenly raise its head, and then, colorful light flashed from the bead on the top of the Final Boss's head, turning into arrows of light, blasting towards everyone!
