The labyrinth area on the 25th Floor was a huge gray space. Towering stone pillars were scattered all over the place, and narrow stone bridges were connecting the pillars.
Most of the monsters in the labyrinth area looked like lizards. These armored lizards held a giant shield in one hand and a giant sword in the other. Once they saw the Clearers, they would rush at them with bloodshot eyes.
Because the previous Clearers tried to solo the 25th Floor's Boss, but they were defeated and suffered heavy losses, there was no Clearers from the Army this time.
It seems that the Army has decided to withdraw from the Clearers.
Some Clearers felt regretful about this matter, but most Clearers felt very relieved.
The Army's reputation was too bad, and their actions had already caused a lot of complaints in SAO.
After clearing all the monsters along the way, Asuna finally led the Clearers to the door of the Boss's room.
This time, the door of the Boss's room was a huge spider web, and through the gaps in the spider web, they could vaguely see a huge platform behind it.
The platform was covered with various giant spider eggs.
Seeing this scene, some female Clearers screamed, and even some male Clearers couldn't help but tremble.
There were some torches placed next to the spider web. Looking at the torches and the huge spider web, Asuna secretly swallowed her saliva, took out a torch, and lit the spider web on fire.
The spider web was quickly burned, revealing the path to the platform behind it.
"Everyone, get ready for battle!"
Asuna shouted, drew her rapier, and took the lead to step onto the platform. Behind her, the Clearers also rushed onto the platform with their weapons in hand, occupying their respective areas according to their pre-assigned tasks.
"Where's the Boss? Why didn't I see the Boss? "
Looking at the empty and quiet platform, the Clearers showed a puzzled expression.
Yakumo Mo glanced at the giant spider eggs and had an idea. She went back to the door and picked up a torch. She lit up the spider eggs closest to her.
"Hiss!!!"
Almost at the same moment the egg was ignited, a deafening, ear-piercing shriek resounded through the entire space. Then, a huge, terrifying spider with a leg thicker than an adult's waist descended from the sky, appearing before everyone.
It had eight huge and terrifying eyes, a ferocious mouthpart, and a body full of shiny fur. The terrifying appearance of this huge spider boss scared some of the timid female Clearers so much that they fainted. For a moment, the crowd fell into chaos.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Asuna who was standing in front of the group. Although the girl was standing there calmly, Eight-cloud Ink could clearly see that Asuna's legs were trembling.
"Sure enough, no matter how strong they are, girls will still be afraid of these things?"
Eight-cloud Ink's heart did not waver at all as he turned to look at the giant spider. However, he was very sure that if he was still the human he was in his previous life, he would definitely be terrified when facing such a monster.
"Looks like after becoming a monster, there's a huge change in mentality …"
He was already a monster, so why would he be afraid of such a terrifying monster?
According to the law of the Monster World, the more terrifying a monster's appearance is, the weaker it is.
The fantasy land where cute girls gathered together could prove this point. In that very lawless place, the powerful monsters were all harmless girls.
Thinking about the Demonic Beast Sister Fulanduo, Yakumo suddenly had a deeper understanding of the phrase "I'm harmless, but I'm cute."
However, he was in SAO right now, and the giant spider in front of him was not a monster, so he decided to put those thoughts aside for the time being and talk about them after he defeated the giant spider.
Eight-cloud Ink came to Asuna's side and gently patted her thin shoulder.
Asuna's body trembled and turned to look at Eight-cloud Ink. He could clearly feel the suppressed fear in her beautiful and clear eyes.
"I heard that you are called the" Ghost of Clearers "by the Clearers?" Eight-cloud Ink took out his folding fan and tapped the girl's forehead with the tip of the fan. "How about letting me fight this battle?"
"No, no …"
Asuna stubbornly raised the rapier in her hand, and her cute little face was twisted.
Looking at Asuna's expression, Eight-cloud Ink didn't say anything. Seeing that the boss's attention was on him, he immediately rushed up.
Because Eight-cloud Ink was the one who burned the spider eggs, the boss's eyes turned red the moment it saw Eight-cloud Ink. Although the boss's body was extremely huge, its speed was not slow at all. Its eight legs were swinging rapidly on the ground, and its huge body was like a speeding train!
Even before he collided with the BOSS, Yakumo could already feel a strong gust of wind coming at him. He had fought countless BOSSes before, so he knew that the BOSS's strength was not something that he could handle alone. Therefore, when the BOSS was right in front of him, he immediately leaned back and slid under the BOSS's abdomen.
"Hah!!"
With a roar, Eight-cloud Ink turned around and kicked the boss's abdomen, and the boss's huge body was sent flying by his kick!
"What are you waiting for!? Charge!! "
On the other side, after seeing Eight-cloud Ink rushing up, Asuna was startled at first, but then she clenched her rapier tightly and closed her eyes while shouting orders loudly.
"Charge!"
"Eat my sword!"
"Eat my axe!!"
When the clearers saw Eight-cloud Ink's bravery, they were all pumped up, and under Asuna's order, they shouted and charged at the boss!
However, Keita frowned. He looked at the huge spider eggs on the platform and shouted to Asuna: "Vice-leader Asuna, what are you doing?!" Be careful of those spider eggs! "
"Eh?" Asuna tilted her head in confusion, but then she realized that the boss could summon monsters! Moreover, the strength of these monsters was not much weaker than the Field Bosses in the outside world!
She actually made such a careless mistake because she was afraid of spiders!
"Damn it!"
Asuna snorted and then ordered the clearers who were rushing up: "Knights of the Blood, pay attention! Pay close attention to those spider eggs! Don't let the boss summon monsters! "
"Yes!!"
As expected of the Knights of the Blood established by Heathcliff, the clearers' absolute obedience to Asuna made the other Players praise them.
Sure enough, after being kicked into the air by Eight-cloud Ink, the boss seemed to know that the person in front of it was a threat to it. It suddenly spat out spider silk from its abdomen and hung itself in the air, then it opened its mouth and made a rhythmic hissing sound!
"Quick! Use those torches to burn the spider eggs! "
Asuna immediately ordered the clearers to burn the spider eggs when she saw that the spider eggs were starting to vibrate.
With Asuna's reminder, other than the clearers who were attacking the boss with Eight-cloud Ink, the rest of the Knights of the Blood ran to the entrance of the platform and picked up torches to burn the spider eggs.
Unfortunately, although Asuna's order was timely, some small spiders still crawled out of the eggs. These small spiders were half the size of an adult, and they were even faster than the boss!
"Ah!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Help!!"
Seeing the HP of the members of Knights of the Blood Oath who were caught off guard and bitten by the small spiders, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"Pina!"
"Chirp!"
At this time, Silica's voice suddenly rang out, followed by the crisp roar of a Pterosaur.
During the time when she was leveling up with Eight-cloud Ink, Silica's support ability had improved a lot. She was now able to restore the HP of all the clearers at the same time!
Although the effect of restoring the HP of all the clearers was not as good as restoring the HP of a single player, it was enough to save a lot of lives!
Following Pina's roar, a burst of green light was emitted from the Pterosaur in the air and sprinkled on everyone. Instantly, the HP of those who were entangled by the small spiders was stopped at the red level!
Seeing that their HP was no longer decreasing, those who were entangled by the small spiders were relieved. They waved their weapons to get rid of the small spiders and drank potions from their backpacks.
Seeing this, Asuna and Souta breathed a sigh of relief.
"No wonder … Even a strong army would suffer heavy losses here. Most of the elites died before they could even use the teleportation crystals …"
Asuna looked at the Knights of the Blood's members who were fighting the small spiders, and then looked at Eight-cloud Ink who was leading the rest of the clearers to attack the boss, and said in a low voice.
"Then, I'll go too!"
In a flash, Asuna turned into a flash of light and rushed forward!
