409 "Scythe of Destiny"

In this moment, Luo Zhen saw it clearly.

A few meters ahead, in the blind corner on the right side of another road that crossed at right angles to the passage opposite Luo Zhen, a buoy actually appeared.

It was a red buoy.

In other words, there are monsters hiding there.

That's it.

If it was just the monsters that appeared in this labyrinth before, it wouldn't be worth Luo Zhen's reaction at all.

There is only one reason why Luo Zhen reacted so much.

That's the color of the buoy.

Depending on the player's level, the color of the monster buoy that players see is red, but depending on the level of threat, the color will also be different shades.

When he was in the maze area on the 74th floor, the monster buoy Luo Zhen saw was generally light red, which proved that the threat was not high.

The buoy of the Layer 74 Guardian Boss is dark red, proving that its threat is too dangerous for Luo Zhen's current level.

As for the monsters encountered in this labyrinth, they are all almost white and light pink, and in terms of threat, they are about the same as none.

However, at this moment, the buoy that Luo Zhen saw was a color that he had never seen before.

The blood-like dazzling crimson that was so red that it turned black, purple, and shiny appeared in Luo Zhen's field of vision, stimulating Luo Zhen's heart.

At the same time, the name of the monster appeared on the buoy.

———— "Scythe of Destiny".

The scythe, which could really be exchanged for death, appeared, and under the gaze of Rogen, the buoy moved at an alarming speed and came to the intersection of the crossroads.

Asuna didn't seem to notice, and was still running in the direction of the room, just passing there.

A huge black shadow appeared there, and raised its weapon high in Asuna's direction.

“……!?”

Luo Zhen's heartbeat almost stopped.

Because, at this time, if you make a loud reminder, even if Asuna can hear it, it will only have time to react, and then, Asuna will be attacked.

was attacked by a kind of attack that even Luo Zhen felt deadly.

At this critical moment, Luo Zhen raised his voice to the highest.

He didn't stop Asuna, let alone give a warning, but gave the order directly.

"Get down!"

This is the shortest and most appropriate response that Luo Zhen can make in this second.

“————!”

Hearing Luo Zhen's voice, Asuna, who ran forward, froze.

If Asuna hadn't followed Rogen's instructions, the Raven would have delivered the most fatal blow in the next second.

However, the intense emotion in Luo Zhen's voice, the prestige that he had always established, and the absolute trust that Asuna herself had in him, allowed the Rasapier to escape death.

Asuna maintained the posture of rushing forward almost without any hesitation, and threw herself forward, falling to the ground.

"Choke!"

In the next moment, a huge scythe slashed through where Asuna had been a second ago, like a cold arc of light, flashing through the space and setting off a terrifying gust of wind.

Sensing the strong wind above her head, Asuna knew how close she was to death, and her long chestnut-colored hair echoed violently in the strong wind, causing Asuna to gasp completely.

"Asuna!"

Luo Zhen held the crystal sword, and finally swept in front of Asuna and protected her behind him.

However, Luo Zhen didn't have the strength to look at Asuna behind him, but just took out the magic crystal from his waist bag as quickly as possible, making it shine.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

The color butterfly and the flower butterfly came out of the magic crystal, and in the first time, with their super high perception ability, they sensed the most intense crisis, and suddenly flew stiffly in front of Luo Zhen, staring at the front without moving.

"Luo Zhen!"

Asuna subconsciously called Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen still didn't pay attention, just stared ahead.

There, the monster that had just wielded its giant scythe came into full view.

It was a humanoid figure about three meters tall, covered in tattered black robes.

The depths of the black shadow's hat and the arms that stretched out of the cuffs were all wrapped in a dense darkness, and they were still moving, the eyeballs embedded in the face that were also in the darkness were full of lifelike veins, and the right hand held a long, large scythe, and there was no lower body under the robe, it was empty, except for a face made of bones in the hat, which was extremely shocking.

That appearance, that appearance, is exactly the same as the legendary Grim Reaper.

The black Grim Reaper rolled his eyes and stared straight at Luo Zhen, and his body floated in mid-air without any weight, floating back and forth like a curtain blown away by the wind, which was extremely terrifying.

Looking at this monster, a reluctant smile appeared on Luo Zhen's face.

"That's a big joke......"

Luo Zhen only has this feeling.

The Grim Reaper, known as the Scythe of Fate, has only attacked once.

However, with the power and speed of that attack, as well as the color of the buoy visible to the naked eye and the number of HP slots that he couldn't count at all, Luo Zhen was able to determine that this was not a monster that could appear in Ain Grandtree now.

How strong is it?

Luo Zhen could only make a judgment based on what he saw.

And Luo really judged it like this.

"I'm afraid, the 90th layer of the defending boss should be almost that strong, right?"

Luo Zhen said this with difficulty, and the smile on his face seemed a little empty.

Although Asuna didn't have the keen observation and judgment of Luo Zhen, just by looking at the power of the rather fatal blow just now and the palpitating red buoy of the opponent, she knew that the monster in front of her was not an existence that players could deal with at this stage.

Whether it's Luo Zhen, Kirito, Heathcliff, or all the players in the strategy group, they can't compete with the monster in front of them.

That's how Asuna feels.

"How could it be...!?"

How can there be a monster of this level here...!?

Asuna's words didn't even have time to come out of her mouth.

Because, the black god of death had already rushed over like a black storm, and the sickle in his hand was raised high again, cutting down fiercely in the direction of Luo Zhen and Asuna.

The blow was as fast as an arc of light, and powerful enough to set off a strong wind that stabbed people's skin, causing Luo Zhen to run his brain at high speed and come to a conclusion.

"Can't be hit!"

Once hit, with Luo Zhen and Asuna's defense, if there is a block, it is fine, it should not lose all the HP, but it will definitely lose half or more of its HP.

And if there is no block......

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen immediately turned his back and hugged Asuna.

"Luo Zhen!"

Asuna let out a mournful sigh.

In this situation, Luo Zhen actually turned his back to the monster, which was simply an act of looking for death.

From Asuna's point of view, it was like Luo Zhen was ready to use himself as a shield to block the blow of death, so how could Asuna not let out a scream?

It's just that Asuna doesn't know that even if she turns her back on the enemy, Luo Zhen will not be hit.

Luo Zhen, who has the skill of "Heart Eye", directly hugged Asuna, followed the attack trajectory he saw, and jumped away in the opposite direction.

"Bang!"

The arc of light fell heavily on the ground, shattering the floor.
