That night, nothing interesting happened between Xiafeng and Asuna. Xia Feng didn't want their first time to be in a small hotel. It would be embarrassing if someone eavesdropped on them (eavesdropping skills could be done when they reached a certain level). The two of them only hugged each other and slept for a night, although they didn't sleep well that night…
The next day, Heathcliffe gathered all the members of the strategy team to attack the BOSS of the 50th floor. His plan was good. Everyone had made ample preparations for the Christmas limited BOSS, but it was basically useless this time. They might as well use it for the BOSS battle.
The current strategy group was not like the one led by Xia Feng back then, where they still needed to practice to train the team to fight. Everyone already had a wealth of experience working together. Therefore, on the third day, the army of the strategy team arrived outside the BOSS room.
Outside the door, Heathcliffe stood in front of the crowd and gave a pre-battle speech expressionlessly. He repeatedly emphasized the danger of the BOSS on the 50th floor. Coupled with his serious expression, no one dared to ignore his words.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Heathcliffe opened the door to the BOSS room and everyone quickly entered.
This time, the BOSS's room was a naturally formed cave. The ground and stone walls were bare and lifeless. Only a huge withered tree stood in the middle of the cave. Even this withered tree didn't have any life. Not to mention leaves, even the branches were very few. It looked like it had already died.
In everyone's field of vision, a yellow arrow representing a monster appeared beside the withered tree:
Giant Tree Lord, King of Ancient Trees.
"Go!" At the command of Heathcliffe, everyone roared and charged towards the Boss.
Xia Feng was participating in the battle as the deputy tank and was leading the deputy tank team. The main tank was Heathcliffe and the team he led, the damage team was led by Asuna Klein and the others, and the support team was led by Aguir and the others.
When everyone rushed to the front of the King of Ancient Trees, the giant tree that had withered to the point that only its trunk was left, as if it was dead, finally moved. Its two thickest branches moved like arms, bringing with them a whistling sound as it smashed towards the players.
Heathcliffe immediately commanded two avant-garde guards to block the branches.
"Bang!" A dull collision sound rang out, and the two top vanguard's health bars dropped rapidly, almost turning red.
While commanding the other midfielders to switch the two injured midfielders, he ordered the output team and support team to go up. There was no aggro system in this game, so there was no need for the vanguard to pull the aggro first. They could directly let other players attack.
The branches of the King of Ancient Trees were as flexible as two whips. However, these whips were a little thick, and their lethality was even more terrifying. Its normal attack method was to smash the tree branch down on the enemy. It was a single target attack with high damage. Other than Heavenscliffe, no one could withstand a second attack. Its common skill was to sweep the branches and attack in an area of effect. Originally, it was a very threatening skill. However, due to his understanding of SAO, he knew that the damage of this skill would be evenly distributed among the players who were attacked. Therefore, he directly ordered a row of vanguard to form a shield wall to block it, easily breaking this skill. There was also a skill that was occasionally used. It was to grow roots under a random player's feet and entangle the player, causing the player to fall into a binding state and continuously lose HP. However, the roots could be destroyed. If they were not destroyed in time, the bound players would be in danger. Of course, under the command of Heathcliffe, he was able to knock off the roots in time.
Under the orderly leadership of Heathcliffe, the battle proceeded smoothly. Very soon, the first HP bar of the Boss was emptied. The players were also nervous. Usually, the Boss would use its skill at this time.
As expected, the ground under the BOSS's " feet " rose and fell, and then the BOSS stopped moving.
Everyone looked at Heathcliffe, not knowing what to do.
"Continue fighting." There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Although everyone didn't understand, they all followed his orders out of trust. However, when the players 'swords landed on the BOSS's tree trunk, something embarrassing happened. The BOSS' health bar did not change--
After a series of crackling sounds, the DPS players used all sorts of moves, but they still could not break through the BOSS 'defense. Finally, the BOSS's silent skill was completed.
"Whoosh!" A system sound effect sounded out, and a green light rose from the BOSS's " feet." Then, the players were dumbfounded. The health bar of the BOSS that had just been taken out had actually recovered to full.
[Root]: Boss skill. After a long channeling time, it can recover one HP bar. When the channeling bar is activated, the defense will be greatly increased, and if it is damaged, it will be interrupted (provided that the defense can be broken).
"How, how do we fight this?" Klein could not help but ask as he felt a wave of sadness in his balls.
"Continue fighting." Heathcliffe's expression did not change as he said. Although everyone was helpless, they could only do as they were told.
Soon, the first HP bar of the BOSS was taken down again, and then it stopped moving. Everyone looked at the Boss in a daze, then stared at each other, and finally looked at Heavencliff.
"Anyway, let's try to break through its defense first. Since the BOSS has set up such a high defense, it probably doesn't want to take any damage at this time.”Heathcliff said.
Xiafeng didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Heathcliffe glanced at him when he said this.
It should not be an illusion. The only ones here who had the ability to break through the defense were probably him and Kirito. Even though Kirito had mastered the Nito-Ryu, he had never revealed it. Moreover, he didn't know if his proficiency in the Two-Blade Style was enough or if he had learned a powerful sword skill. However, Xia Feng was different. He had already mastered the scabbard style.
"Let me do it." Xia Feng walked out of the crowd and walked to the motionless King of Ancient Trees. Everyone's gaze fell on him.
"Are you confident?" Heathcliff asked.
"Yes." Xia Feng nodded.
"The few of you, pay attention to protecting Guild Leader Xia Feng.”Heathcliffe pointed at the few avant-garde guards beside Xia Feng.
A few avant-garde guards immediately surrounded Xia Feng.
Under everyone's expectant and doubtful gazes, Xia Feng made a gesture of drawing his sword.
"Ugh!" His voice, which was not angry but authoritative, spread throughout the entire arena.
"Immediately!" A black whirlwind rose, like a constantly changing black pillar connecting the top and bottom of the cave. Everyone was filled with anticipation when they saw Xia Feng's might.
"Slash!" The sword light that could tear everything apart reappeared, and the black storm instantly dissipated. When the incomparably sharp sword Qi hit the King of Ancient Trees, the body of the King of Ancient Trees, which had not moved at all, actually leaned back.
"Break, break the defense!" It was unknown who was the first to wake up from the shock and shouted. Everyone was overjoyed. The BOSS's skill had been interrupted, and its health bar had dropped significantly.
"Continue fighting." With that order, the players who were looking at Xia Feng with admiration immediately retracted their gazes and resumed the battle.
