The maze area on the 20th floor is composed of several different complex roads in the forest. Each area has different monsters. As long as you enter it, you will be attacked by them.

To successfully reach the BOSS room surrounded by rock barriers from the maze area, you need to pass through about four wooded mazes. Now, Natsume knows that he has entered the first wooded maze.

There was a subtle sound of wind around. The wind that was originally traveling through the forest seemed to be blocked by a wall somewhere, so a windless area was almost formed here.

But this is also good. The smell of humans will attract those monsters to attack, especially monsters with strong territorial consciousness may attack quickly.

Natsume was a little nervous when he saw the two people next to him. The two female swordsman seemed to be not very adaptable to this situation.

"It's fine."

Waving the sword in their hands, they didn't know the name of the sword, so Natsume put it on his shoulder and glanced at the surroundings

"This sword is called [Sword of Victory for Oath] and will bring victory to the sword holder and his companions, so that's it."

"So amazing. I have learned it in school. The sword in the lake owned by King Arthur in the epic."

Some people will understand [Sword of Victory Oath] as a sword in stone, but there is a huge difference between a sword in stone and a sword in lake.

The sword in the lake is a sword obtained by Merlin after the sword in the stone was broken and led King Arthur to the Fairy Lake. It has the alias [Broken Steel Sword], which means to cut off all steel objects.

Is the sword in the lake?

On the one hand, Yali, holding a single-edged sword, also moved over there.

After observing the surrounding environment, she spared some time to observe Natsume's weapons. The exquisite patterns and smooth sword body, the sword hilt that fits the palm part can increase fitness, and the double-sided blade that is neither long nor wide can provide good slashing action, which is very suitable for defense and attack.

If the flexibility is high enough, you can definitely put it to the limit and defeat high-level monsters.

SAO is similar to other virtual games, and there are also attributes such as STR power, AGI agility, INT physique, DEX dexterity, etc. Therefore, a good weapon requires a player who can use it perfectly.

Natsume doesn't think he uses it perfectly. After all, even the STR value has just met the requirements, but if he wants to fight with other players and monsters, Natsume thinks he won't lose easily.

Hearing the three of them talking, Kers, who was walking in front, hit the shield of his left hand with a big knife.

"The chat is about to end, and I am about to arrive at the central area of ​​this area, where there are many monsters."

"I'll talk to me a little bit!"

Next to him, Celite, who was the spear, said this, and he was not relaxed in his vigilance around him, holding the handle of the gun tightly.

There is a green forest around it, with animals passing through the forest from time to time. Large monsters have not been seen once.

"Where did you get that sword?"

Walking on the left side of Natsume, the big pupils emit a strong interest.

When I saw Yali asking about this, I didn't know how to answer.

The easiest way is to say it is your own bug, but that will definitely be quite troublesome.

Therefore, I have not been friends with them yet, I just simply agreed to act with them.

Natsume randomly found a reason to be lucky and made excuses. Yali nodded without any intention of asking questions and threw herself into the defense.

The team was leading by Kers toward Lindao on the left, and Natsume reached out to stop Sakurami who was taking steps there.

"Let them stop."

"What's wrong?"

"Here you come."

Except that road was a dead end in Natsume's memory. Figures began to flash in the surrounding forest.

Not a player, but a simple monster.

Everyone gathered together, and Natsume found Sophie almost approaching.

It was not to interfere with Natsume's actions, but to see something with her keen hearing and super vision.

"There are five encirclements in a circle. Through the sound of landing, we can tell that the rear half of the limb is relatively developed, and it should be a monster named [Rock Mantis]."

Just after he finished speaking, five huge gray-green mantis jumped out of the woods.

It is about 1.5 meters tall. There is a row of hard serrated teeth on the forelimbs. Unlike animals, the serrated teeth have turned into sharp blades, and there is also a hook at the end to hook the prey.

It looks sensitive and the surface of the skin is covered with a large number of gray-green stones, like hard armor.

Because they have protective colors, some also have mimicry. They are similar to their environment to prey on various preys.

Here, the mantis is obviously much stronger after being strengthened, with its powerful forelimbs and huge hind limbs. The thick rock defense provides it with an absolute advantage.

At this time, an icon above the head also appeared, and the [Rock Mantis] level was level 15.

"It's trouble."

Showing a very bitter expression, Kers began to distribute the work.

"Follow the previous drill! I'm responsible for attracting attention! Selit assists me! The remaining three people attack!"

So!

"start!"

The [Rock Mantis] was moving at the same time as this side. The explosive power provided by their hind limbs directly made two of them rush over first.

Natsume left Sakurami and their small team and took a big step forward, standing side by side with Kers.

"Hey! Natsume! You are responsible for the attack!"

"No, I'll do it if I act as a bait, too. You're in trouble alone."

"I don't care if I'm killed!"

Telling a joke, Kers took the lead in meeting it.

It is a collision. [Rock Mantis] does not use the sharp blade of the forelimbs, but uses the rock armor on the head to hit this side.

He withstood the impact with his left-hand shield, removed his strength from one side of his body, and immediately cut off the big knife with his right hand.

However, [Rock Mantis] had discovered KS's movements, and its left forelimb was immediately unfolded, and the reverse twisted blade contacted KS's big knife.

Selit! Kers shouted the name of the spear next to Natsume. After receiving the command, Selit stormed forward, and the spear stabbed directly into the abdomen of the [Rock Mantis].

Bang!

The spear stopped, as if the rock's skin was poked a little, then it defended against Celite's attack, such a piercing force and broke its defense.

Not enough impact and speed!

When Selit found that the output failed and planned to escape, the cutting of the right forelimb of the [Rock Mantis] had already arrived.

The cold blade slashed down his neck, and the faster and faster speed had ended the possibility of allowing him to escape.
Chapter completed!
