The mountain range where the White Dragon resided looked rather steep from a distance, but when they really started to climb, they climbed up effortlessly. Thinking about it carefully, many mixed teams had successfully reached the top without any difficulty, so the difficulty could not be too high.
Although it was also related to time, the strongest monster among the monsters that would appear was the ice skeleton called Frost Skeleton. At this level, not to mention Kirito, even Liz could easily knock down the enemy with her warhammer.
After walking on the snowy road for dozens of minutes, they turned into a steep ice wall and reached the top of the mountain. The bottom of the upper layer seemed to be very close. There were huge crystal pillars that broke through the snow everywhere. The purple light of the setting sun reflected irregularly and emitted a seven-colored light. This scene could only be described as a dream.
"Waah…!" Liz, who couldn't help but cheer, was about to run out when Kirito grabbed her collar.
"Wuu…What are you doing!"
"Hey, prepare the transfer crystal first.”
His unusually serious words seemed to have a kind of magic that drove Liz to do what he said.
"When the White Dragon appears, find a place to hide.”
"What? I can fight too…"
"No!"
Kirito turned around and looked at Liz with his dark and deep eyes.""Only this, absolutely not."
When Liz saw Kirito's gaze, her heart trembled, but she nodded in the end.
Kirito smiled and patted Liz's head." Let's go then."”He felt like the atmosphere had changed.
Following Kirito, Liz walked for a while with a confused mood and immediately arrived at the center of the mountain peak.
He quickly looked around but didn't find any traces of the White Dragon. However, when he saw the space surrounded by the crystal pillar...
"Waah…"
He opened a huge cave with a diameter of at least ten meters. The surface of the wall that was frozen and shining extended vertically downward, and the depths were covered in darkness that made it impossible to see the bottom.
" So deep!!!"
Kirito kicked a small crystal fragment into the cave with the tip of his foot. The specks of light reflected by the fragments that fell into the cave immediately disappeared, and there was not even an echo.
"Don't fall down."
"Of course not!"
Not long after Liz pouted her lips and replied, a sharp cry like that of a bird of prey tore through the air that was dyed blue by the last bit of sunset, echoing throughout the entire snowy mountain peak.
"Hide behind there!"
Kirito pointed at the large crystal pillar nearby and ordered. Liz hurriedly did as he said, gesturing at Kirito's back and shouting,""That…the White Dragon's attack mode is the two-handed claw, freezing breath, and storm attack…you, you have to be careful!”
Liz quickly added the last sentence. Kirito maintained his cool posture with his back facing her as he raised his thumb with his left fist. The space in front of him shook almost at the same time, and a huge object surged out as if it was seeping through.
The partially thick and uneven edges appeared one after another. As the multi-sided shapes joined together, the intelligence increased with the gradually formed appearance. Finally, the huge body was almost complete. Just as the appearance could be recognized, the roar that made people tremble sounded again. Countless shards flew in all directions, then disappeared with a flash of light.
What appeared was a white dragon with scales shining like ice. It slowly flapped its huge wings and hovered in the air. The posture was frightening-it would be more appropriate to describe it as very beautiful. It stared at the two of them with its big red eyes.
Kirito calmly reached his hand behind his back and pulled out his pitch-black single-handed sword. Then, like a signal, the white dragon opened its large jaw, and with a hard sound effect, it spewed a torrent of white gas.
"It's the breath! Hurry up and get out of the way!" Liz couldn't help but shout, but Kirito remained motionless. He stood straight and stabbed the sword in his right hand upward.
How could such a thin weapon block the attack of the breath? Just as Liz thought this, the sword began to spin like a windmill with Kirito's hand as the center. Judging from the light green effect light, it should be a type of sword skill. Before long, it spun so fast that the blade could not be seen. It looked like a round shield made of light.
The icy breath attacked the light shield from the front, emitting a dazzling white flash that made Liz turn her head away. However, when the torrent of cold air hit the shield made of Kirito's sword, it dispersed and evaporated as if it was blown away.
Liz quickly looked at Kirito's body to confirm his HP bar. Perhaps because he could not completely block the breath, his health points were slowly decreasing to the left. But surprisingly, the damage immediately recovered after a few seconds. This should be the " Battle Recovery " among the super high-level combat skills. However, in order to increase the level of this skill, one had to continuously take a lot of damage in battle. In reality, it was impossible to cultivate this skill safely.
Who was he?
It was only now that Liz began to think hard about the identity of the swordsman in black. With such strength, one would only think that he was a player from the Strategy Group. However, this name wasn't on the list of members of the top guilds, which was mainly composed of KO B.
At this moment, Kirito, who had predicted the end of his breath attack, made a move. He stepped out of the exploding snow dust and pounced toward the White Dragon that was still in midair.
Generally speaking, when facing an enemy who was flying, they would first use a halberd or a throwing weapon. These weapons with a longer attack range would drag the enemy to the ground, and then the members with a shorter attack range would join the battle. However, Kirito surprisingly flew to a place where he almost touched the White Dragon's head and then used a single-handed sword combo in the air.
With a sharp clanging sound, Kirito's attacks kept hitting White Dragon's body at a speed that the eye could not keep up with. Although the White Dragon also used its left and right claws to fight, the effect was far inferior.
When the Kirito landed on the ground again after a long time in the air, the White Dragon's HP bar had been reduced by more than 30%.
- One-sided massacre.
In terms of size, the White Dragon might have the absolute advantage, but the game was a game where level determined everything. Once the level exceeded him by a certain amount, even the invincible dragons in the myths could only be defeated by the Kirito.
Soon, the White Dragon's HP bar dropped to red after being beaten up. Liz suddenly stepped out from her hiding place, wanting to praise the man she had underestimated.
"Go back, idiot!" Kirito seemed to have eyes on the back of his head as he suddenly shouted nervously,""Don't come out!"
" What? It's almost over..." The White Dragon suddenly unleashed his Storm and waved it twice with great force. Suddenly, an irresistible force blew Kirito and Liz backward!
It was a storm attack! Liz remembered the White Dragon's attack mode. Fortunately, this attack did not deal any damage. She just needed to ensure that she landed well.
She had forgotten that behind her was the bottomless nest of the White Dragon…
"..." Liz was silent. She kept her hands open and swung them down. She reached her right hand into the air in vain.
A black-gloved hand clasped her fingers. Liz looked at the newcomer in disbelief.
"Hold on tight!" Kirito suddenly lifted Liz up and switched positions before placing himself down.""I will never let anyone die in front of me again!”
" Idiot..." Liz murmured, tears streaming down her face.
However, Kirito did not intend to sit still and wait for death. His other hand, which was holding a weapon, directly stabbed into the edge of the bottomless nest, wanting to use this method to cushion the impact.
His HP bar was decreasing rapidly, but no matter what, if he landed at this depth, he might still have some HP left, but this girl would not be able to survive. This was the only choice he could make now!
"Stop…!"
" Bang!" Both of them fell to the ground.
"Phew, you're still alive." Kirito looked at his health bar, which had already entered the red zone, and turned to Liz, who had fallen beside her.""Are you alright?"
" I'm fine..." Liz's health was still at one-third. She looked up at the deep pit that was at least a hundred meters high and whispered to Kirito,""Thank you for saving me."
"It's still too early to thank me." Kirito pointed to the sky." Although the White Dragon didn't chase after us, how to escape is the real problem. Don't try to use the crystal. This feels like an area where crystals are ineffective."”
Liz was stunned, and her face revealed a look of despair.
"Don't be so depressed." Kirito patted Liz's head and messed up her hair before saying,""The game doesn't have a 100% death rate. There must be a way out.”
"But normally, if you jump down, you'll definitely die!”
"Hmm…that's true." Kirito nodded in agreement.
"I say, can you be more serious?”Liz angrily shouted at the indifferent man in front of her. Then, she realized that he was her savior and blushed.
"Haha, Liz is indeed more imposing when she's angry.”
" What-" Liz lowered her head, not daring to look into Kirito's eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's discuss the method.”
The crystal was ineffective. This was a maze-like area. Communication and traces of friends were also ineffective, so shouting for help could only be ruled out. The players who hunted the White Dragons might not notice them. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
"Why don't we run up?" Doujin suddenly suggested.
"Are you an idiot?"
And so, the stupid Kirito really ran along the wall, just like the main character in the movie. Unfortunately, he had not even run half the way when he fell from the sky while screaming, creating a human-shaped pit beside Liz.
"What a…beautiful landing.”For a moment, Liz could only smile and praise him.
"Don't make fun of me. I don't know how many times I've been laughed at because of the landing.”Kirito crawled out of the pit and realized that he could not think of a good solution for the time being, so he said,""Forget it, let's make do here for the night.”
"What?"
"We have to eat and sleep." Kirito did not understand Liz's surprise and said,""Aren't you hungry?"
"That's true. Since there won't be any monsters here, let's camp once.”Liz nodded.
" Since you've decided…" Kirito opened the window and moved his fingers, materializing all sorts of items one by one.
A large camping lantern, a pot, a few mysterious bags, and two mugs.
"... you always carry these things with you?”
"It's common for him to stay out all night in the maze. Compared to the other guy, the things I brought here are considered very little.”Kirito shrugged his shoulders and replied seriously. It seemed like he was not joking. He clicked on the lantern to light it. With a pop, a bright orange light illuminated the surroundings.
