Xiafeng sat in the side hall, digesting the news that Argo had brought. He didn't want Asuna and the others to know about this, so he had already asked them to leave.
When Xia Feng was at the front line, he often dealt with this famous intelligence dealer. Although he didn't dare to call him a friend (the other party was someone who could even sell his own information, let alone a friend), he could be considered to be familiar with him. After the last assassination, he had asked Argo to help him investigate the mastermind behind the assassination…Of course, he had to pay for it. This time, he came to inform Xia Feng of the results.
"It really is him! It's not my style to not take revenge. However, how should I counterattack?”Xia Feng muttered to himself. "As expected, it's better to kill him. Since the other party had already tried to kill me, there was no need for me to show mercy.”
Of course, the real reason was that Xia Feng was worried that the other party would attack the people around him. Didn't Celika get killed last time? Although she escaped, her demonic spirit, the winged dragon Bina, sacrificed herself to protect her. During this period of time, although Celica did not say anything, Xia Feng often saw her stroking Bina's feathers alone, feeling dejected.
In the original novel, after Bina sacrificed herself, Kirito brought Celika up to the 47th floor and obtained a rare item," Soul Flower ", which revived Bina in time. But now, Ain Grand hadn't even reached the 47th checkpoint, and Xia Feng couldn't revive Bina. He didn't even tell Celica about the Soul Flower. Otherwise, how could he explain to her that he knew about the floor that he hadn't conquered yet?
Of course, it was not impossible to revive Bina. Resurrecting a demonic spirit required two things. One was the Soul Flower, and the other was the demonic spirit's relic. The only thing left of Bina's relic was that feather, but the feather's existence was limited. Fortunately, Xia Feng had previously obtained a rare item that could extend the lifespan of a demonic relic, so he had managed to keep this feather. Once the forty-seventh floor was cleared, Xiafeng would be able to help Silika obtain the Soul Flower and revive Bina.
······
In the BOSS room on the 35th floor of the maze, more than 40 players were attacking a huge monster with the appearance of a human ape.
The Demonic Ape was the BOSS of the 35th floor. It was a monster with high attack and agility. He was more than ten meters tall, and his weapon was a long rod that was also more than ten meters long. As for the players who were attacking it, they were members of the Holy Dragon Alliance. The one who stood at the back and commanded the battle was Xia Feng's " old friend ", Scumbag.
The Ape Demon smashed, swept, and danced its long staff at the ants that surrounded it like a whirlwind, creating the sound of a tiger's roar and the might of thunder. It was a pity that the players in the strategy team had accumulated enough experience. Although the Holy Dragon Alliance's players were not good, they were strong. The group of people advanced and retreated according to the rules. When Ape Demon used a single target attack, the vanguard was in front, and the others surrounded the side to block the attack. When the Ape Demons used AoE attacks, they immediately scattered and surrounded them again. The situation was very stable.
Guild Master Scum stood at the back. According to him, he was doing this to stabilize the rear, but in reality, everyone knew that he was only hiding at the back because he was afraid of death. However, he did not know that sometimes, hiding at the back did not necessarily mean safety. At this moment, seeing that the situation was stable, he was in high spirits. The panic and frustration caused by the failure of something some time ago were swept away.
Behind them, outside the door of the BOSS's room, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
After Xia Feng found out that the mastermind behind the series of assassinations some time ago was Noobie, he planned to get rid of him. For this reason, he had specially forgotten about the Fishing skill and learned the Stealth skill. However, it was unknown whether this guy was meddlesome or afraid of revenge. After the assassination incident, he never left the guild base. Occasionally, he would go out with a large team, so Xia Feng never found a chance to make a move. However, this time, the members of the Holy Dragon Alliance had found the BOSS's room first. He still had to personally take care of the big matter of conquering the BOSS. Of course, it was also possible that the guy dared to come out because he felt that it was safe to have more people.
This also gave Xia Feng a chance. Xia Feng had been observing the Holy Dragon Alliance's Guild Residence for a long time. Finally, he waited for this bastard to leave. He didn't know that the Holy Dragon Alliance had discovered the Boss, so he didn't understand why this guy was suddenly willing to go out. However, this was not important. He just needed to know that the opportunity had come.
He had changed into his night-traveling clothes, a hood, and a mask. He had been following the members of the Holy Dragon Alliance from afar since they left the guild's base, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Unfortunately, the loser had not left the team, and he had not found an opportunity until now. From the moment the Holy Dragon Alliance left the town, Xia Feng had guessed that they were here to raid the Boss. Their goal was too clear. If they were not heading straight for the Boss, then what else could they be heading for?
Let's not talk about Xia Feng who was hiding outside the door. In the room, the Demonic Ape had only one HP left and had entered a berserk state. Its attack speed and attack power increased greatly, but its defense and hit rate decreased. The battle had entered its most intense state. At this moment, even the vanguard could not withstand the BOSS's attacks. Usually, they would have to switch players after taking two hits. Under such circumstances, the injured vanguard would not have time to recover to full health. However, due to the decrease in the BOSS 'defense, its HP was also rapidly decreasing. In Xia Feng's opinion, the BOSS would die before the Holy Dragon Alliance's vanguard was injured and no one could block it. This was also the reason why the man wasn't nervous despite the intense battle. In his opinion, this BOSS battle was already in the bag.
However, this was under the premise that Xia Feng did not make a move.
In fact, as long as Xia Fenglai used Last Stake and stunned the vanguard who was blocking the BOSS, the target would die without a doubt. The death of a vanguard not only meant that the Holy Dragon Alliance's battle plan would be disrupted, but more importantly, if someone ambushed them, how could they dare to deal with the Boss in peace? If they ignored the ambusher, as long as the ambusher killed one or two more frontline guards, they would not be able to stop the BOSS at all. If they sent people to deal with the attackers, they would not be able to deal enough damage. They would not be able to eliminate the BOSS before all the frontline guards were injured. They would still fail in the end. The best solution was to give up on the BOSS immediately, but how could they accept this?
However, Xia Feng did not do so. Although the people of the Holy Dragon Alliance had low moral character, most of them did not deserve death. He did not have the right to kill those people. The only one who should be killed was the loser. In the end, Xia Feng did not attack the vanguard of the Holy Dragon Alliance.
As for directly killing the loser, that was not possible either. The opponent was wearing armor with high defense and high health. With his low proficiency in Final Stake, even if he used a critical hit, he would not be able to instantly kill him. If he rushed up to finish off the boss, with his character, even if he gave up on the BOSS, he would order his subordinates to protect him. With more than forty people, Xia Feng couldn't hold on.
Even though he was unwilling to give up, seeing that the BOSS was about to die, Xia Feng had no choice but to give up. After the battle with the BOSS, there would be even less of a chance to kill him. At that time, they would definitely go straight to the 36th floor. Ain Grand stated that after the door to the new floor opened, the first party to pass would have to wait an hour before the others could pass again.
Just as Xia Feng was about to give up on the assassination and leave, the situation took a turn for the better. The Ape Demon, who was left with only a trace of health, actually used a big move. The long staff in its hand danced into a vortex.
Looking at the Boss's health bar, although Scumbag felt a little regretful, he had no choice but to order his subordinates to retreat. He was also prepared to retreat. When the BOSS used this AoE skill, it would move. Even if he was standing at the back, if he continued to stay there, the BOSS would still be able to attack him when it moved.
However, before the loser could take two steps back, he realized that he could not move. Half of the spear had come out from his waist and was nailed to the ground. The loser could imagine his current position-a long spear was inserted into his back and out of his waist, nailing him to the ground at an angle from top to bottom.
He knew about the Long Spear Envoy's Final Stake skill. However, this was not the reason why his expression changed drastically. What really scared him was that he had actually fallen into a paralyzed state.
The gun was fed with paralyzing poison.
Seeing the vortex formed by the BOSS's spinning staff getting closer and closer to him, Scumbag's facial features became distorted due to fear.
"No, no, who will save me? Come and save me!" He screamed in horror, wanting his subordinates to save him. However, the BOSS's attack was coming. Who dared to come over? None of his subordinates had a good character and dared to risk their lives to save him. On the contrary, perhaps some of them were hoping that he would die so that they could replace him.
Although no one dared to save him, there were still people who immediately turned around to see who was ambushing him. Unfortunately, they only saw a black shadow flash by.
"Ah! No, no, I haven't become the strongest yet! My ambition! "My…" Scumbag wailed in despair as he watched the storm vortex with the BOSS as the center getting closer and closer to him until he was sucked into it.
The wailing stopped, and the fragments flew.
Even though the guild leader's death had caused his subordinates to panic, the vice guild leader decisively took over the command and commanded everyone to eliminate the BOSS with low HP. Then, he sent people to track down the ambusher with the Enemy Searching skill. Unfortunately, Xia Feng had already run far away. Now that he had learned the stealth skill, he would not leave any footprints.
Outside the maze, Xia Feng, who was running, muttered to himself,"The paralyzing poison is so expensive.”
The next day, the news of the Holy Dragon United Guild's Guild Master being ambushed and killed spread, causing a commotion. Unfortunately, the Holy Dragon Alliance had long been unpopular. Most players were happy to see this, and Klein even told this " good news " to Xia Feng.
