For Asuna, everything in this world is false.

The sky is fake.

The earth is fake.

Nature is fake.

Matter is fake.

Even the human body is an imaginary virtual object, and things composed of data and archives are like calculations and formulas seen in books, no matter how profound the composition and composition are, they are just numbers and letters, and there is no real thing at all.

In this world, there is only one thing that is true.

That is death.

Therefore, Asuna can only pursue it.

Although Asuna was confused for a while after seeing the end of the criminal Rapier, she still did not sincerely believe that this world would be conquered sooner or later, and the players would be able to liberate here sooner or later.

In this case, the reason why Asuna will continue to participate in the strategy meeting of the defending boss is at best just to imagine that she did before, in short, try her best first, right?

As for the success of the strategy battle, whether the players can get hope or not, and so on, Asuna didn't think about it at all.

Because...

"The defending boss is the strongest monster in the first layer that imprisoned 10,000 players for a whole month and caused 2,000 deaths, with only sixty players, even if it can succeed in the attack, there will definitely be a large number of victims."

That's what Asuna had in mind.

In other words, Asuna is not optimistic about this strategy battle at all.

This idea is even stronger after seeing the opposition and contradiction between closed beta players and ordinary players.

"If you can't even do unity, how can you attack it?"

Therefore, Asuna has long been mentally prepared.

Be prepared to fight to the end in this strategy battle, even if you will die, don't leave regrets.

It is precisely because Asuna has such psychological preparation that Luo Zhen's declaration at the strategy meeting made Asuna care very much for a while.

"The goal is a lossless strategy?"

Can this be done?

Asuna wanted to ask Luo Zhen this several times, but in the end she didn't ask.

But Asuna knew.

"If this is really something that can be done, it must be no different from the miracle he keeps talking about, right?"

Therefore, Asuna wanted to witness.

Witness whether this is a delusion or a blatant lie.

In view of this, Asuna will accept the thin sword named "Wind Flower Sword" given by Luo Zhen, and even strengthen it, otherwise, with Asuna's character, she will definitely not accept other people's handouts for no reason.

And now, although the defending boss has not been killed, not even one of the victims has appeared.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that the battle presented to Asuna touched her deeply.

"Drink, ah!"

"Whoa, oh!"

The two teenagers shouted at each other, clutching their only weapon and challenging the unreasonably strong monster.

They are strong.

Unlike the rest of the players, who rely on the system's assistance to use their sword skills, their swords are as if they are all integrated into their own, every blow is fast, every move is heavy, and every move is as if it has been optimally optimized, without a trace of superfluity.

They are desperate.

It's not Asuna's desperate self-defeating self-defeating attempt to fall down after trying her best, but as if she really intends to rely on the weapon in her hand to open the way forward, whether it is the burning fighting spirit in her eyes or the cry of struggle, they are telling Asuna that they have not given up because of the predicament and despair at this stage.

In such a situation, the defending boss that should have been extremely powerful and became more powerful after changing the attack mode was completely suppressed, not to mention the sword skills of the big sword in his hand were frequently interrupted, and the scars on his body were added one after another, making his sorrowful sound can't help but vibrate in the air, looking extremely desolate.

The two teenagers just sprinted forward, relying on their thin figures, and kept knocking back, flying, and shooting down the huge kobold lord.

In such a battle, Asuna felt the heat that could not be described only by words like "strong".

It is beyond the scale of strength and speed, and it makes people feel that there is something "different dimension".

What kind of existence?

"Soul..."

That's right.

Asuna sensed the souls of the two teenagers hidden in this battle.

So, Asuna couldn't help but be moved.

"It turns out that this is the real battle..."

Originally, Asuna thought that she had a little peek into the battle of this world, and she had already comprehended it by relying on the feeling brought by the "Wind Flower Sword" in her hand.

But now, Asuna feels that she is still too tender.

The real battle is not a collision of weapons to weapons, but a collision of beliefs and beliefs.

Only those who have faith can continue to move forward, open up all paths, and reach the end of their dreams.

"The world is not all fake..."

Even if the body is fake, the spirit, passion, and soul of the players are still there.

That's what the battle in front of you shows.

"That's what makes it powerful..."

A powerful force that makes players stunned.

A powerful force that moved Asuna.

In the face of this power, how can the defending boss with only a little HP left be able to resist it?

At least, Asuna understood.

This battle has been won.

"Grunt...!"

As if he had realized the end of his life, the kobold lord let out one of the most poignant roars to date, and immediately picked up the great sword, making it draw a semicircle and turn directly below.

The effect light of the sword skill flashes on it.

It is the floating technique ———— "floating boat".

However, the use of this trick has long been seen through by Luo Zhen, who is using "Heart Eye".

"Butterflies!"

Luo Zhen called out to his demons.

"Woohoo!"

The rainbow butterfly immediately flew from afar, came to the top of the Ilfang, and sprinkled yellow phosphorus powder.

"Roar...!?"

Ilfang froze in place, paralyzed.

"Kirito!"

Luo Zhen instead called out to the brother who was closer to the boss on the defense floor.

Kirito didn't hesitate and rushed out.

"Zheng!"

The light of the sword skill lights up on the Sword of Fortitude +6.

It was a yellow-green sword skill light.

Kirito slung his one-handed sword on his right shoulder, and kicked his left foot to the floor with all his might, shooting out like a bullet.

It is the same series as "Furious Stabbing", and although the range is shorter than "Furious Stabbing", it can not only turn its orbit into the air, but it can also rush faster than "Angry Stabbing", ———— "Sonic Impact".

As a result, Kirito swept like a bullet in front of Il, who was about to unleash his sword skills.

Immediately, he swung a sword that broke through the speed of sound.

"Poof!"

As the sound of slashing sounded, the last trace of HP of the inevitable Ilfang fell to the bottom.

“————”

The kobold lord's body froze in the air, unable to move any longer.

As for its body, it began to freeze blue.

"Bang!"

The polygonal fragments exploded, causing the massive body of the Tier Boss to spill in all directions.

In this moment......

“「You Got the Last Accack」。”

This purple system message flickered silently and hung over the entire boss room.

And the appearance of this message only represents one meaning.

That's strategy success.

“…………”

For a moment, there was a silence in the room.

Until a short time later......

"Cheng... It worked! ”

"Success!"

The cheers of the players rang out.
