The Forest of Wandering was a pine forest.
According to the intel, the Christmas Eve event boss "Nicholas the Apostate" will appear under the tallest pine tree in the deepest part of the Forest of Wandering.
That was why Asuna had brought the Knights of the Blood here early in the morning.
Of course, the other guilds who had their own intel network also knew about this, which was why the big guilds bumped into each other.
As for Kirito, although he was a solo player and didn't have many friends, he still had some.
And because Kirito was very strong, even if his friends weren't elite players, they would at least have some expertise in certain areas.
For example, one of his friends was a beta tester who had a lot of intel in SAO. He even opened an "intel house" and made a living by selling intel.
Kirito heard about this boss from his friend and came here to join in the fun.
Eight-cloud Ink and Asuna chatted in a low voice while the others, including Knights of the Blood, consciously made way for the two of them.
The two of them were too famous.
One of them was the vice leader of the strongest guild, Knights of the Blood, and the number one beauty in SAO!
The other was the strongest player, a legend who could rival the entire clearers by herself!
When the two of them were together, the others who stood nearby could only feel a huge pressure.
As Asuna and Eight-cloud Ink chatted, midnight slowly approached.
The Christmas bell rang, and everyone looked up at the sky. It was midnight!
A white stream of air passed through the sky above everyone's head, leaving behind a white line of clouds that seemed to divide the whole sky into two. When the line of clouds slowly disappeared, a huge figure fell from the sky and landed in front of Eight-cloud Ink and Asuna, under the tallest pine tree in the Forest of Wandering.
The impact of the figure's landing caused snow and dust to fly all over the sky, blocking everyone's sight.
Amidst the dust, everyone could barely see the huge body of the boss!
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the snow that was stirred up by the wind slowly fell. The appearance of Nicholas the Apostate was completely exposed in front of everyone!
It was a tall monster that looked very similar to Santa Claus, but it didn't have the kind expression of Santa Claus at all. Instead, it had a ferocious face and red eyes!
Four HP bars! It had the same amount of HP as the boss in the labyrinth!
"Finally … it's here …" Asuna muttered to herself as she looked up at the Boss.
Defeat it and you'll be able to obtain a precious resurrection item!
"Shua!"
A loud noise suddenly attracted everyone's attention. While everyone was staring at the boss in a daze, Eight-cloud Ink had already taken out his folding fan and rushed towards the boss with his Familiar, Nine-tailed Fox White. They had started to solo the boss!
"Solitary Moon of the Eight Directions!!"
The folding fan danced in the air, and one after another, arc-shaped qi slashed at the boss, leaving red wounds on its body.
His HP bar also began to slowly decrease!
The boss was forced to retreat by Eight-cloud Ink's attacks, but its attack was interrupted. In the end, it was hit by Eight-cloud Ink's all-out attack. It fell to the ground, and snow once again filled the air.
"So … so powerful …"
Seeing how Yakumo had single-handedly defeated Nicholas the Apostate, who was comparable to a Level Boss, the spectators gasped in shock.
Among them, the players who participated in the 25th Floor raid with Eight-cloud Ink were still okay. However, for those who didn't participate in the 25th Floor raid and the 1st Floor raid, this was the first time they saw how powerful Eight-cloud Ink was!
Klein was very excited. He grabbed Kirito's shoulder and said loudly, "Kirito! That's so powerful! Although it's not my first time seeing it, I'm still so excited! "
"Hey hey hey! I know, I know! Stop shaking me … "Kirito was having a headache because of Klein's habit of shaking him whenever he was excited.
Asuna's beautiful eyes were filled with pride as she watched Eight-cloud Ink solo the boss.
Souta noticed Asuna's expression and secretly laughed in his heart.
On the other side, seeing that the Boss had been defeated, Yakumo landed on the ground and kicked the Boss's body. Once again, the Boss was sent flying into the air.
"Hah!!"
Eight-cloud Ink closed his folding fan and jumped into the air slightly higher than the boss. He clenched his fists and smashed the boss's lower abdomen like a heavy hammer. Once again, the boss was smashed to the ground!
After that, Yakumo Ink kept repeating the same action. He would kick the boss into the sky and then jump up to smash the boss down. This simple and violent way of attacking made the other players who were watching at the side feel their blood boil.
From the beginning to the end, the boss couldn't even launch an effective attack!
Suddenly, the boss that was kicked into the air again emitted a pink glow. Obviously, Haku's [Charm] was working!
"This is my chance!"
He took out his fan and opened it. Yakumo's body flashed and turned into a stream of light that began to dance around the Boss' huge body!
In the blink of an eye, countless red wounds were left on the boss's body!
In SAO, although monsters and players would be left with wounds, they wouldn't bleed like in real life. Instead, they would be replaced by a red light effect.
So you see, even the 11th District was the territory of the River Crab Mythical Beast, right?
Ahem, that didn't count.
Before the pink glow disappeared from the boss's body, the boss's huge body was covered by the red glow that represented damage!
"Starfall!!"
Eight-cloud Ink, who finally revealed himself, looked at the boss under him and began to spin rapidly. Countless arcs of energy hit the boss's body like stars in the sky!
This [Starfall] was a unique skill that Eight-cloud Ink created by himself after he was inspired by the unique attack mode of Fantasy Village — Bullet Screen!
In the original manga, although Kirito's Dual Sword Style was a unique skill, it was still designed by Kayaba Akihiko in advance. However, Eight-cloud Ink's [Starfall] was completely created by himself!
With the strength of a monster's soul, which was so strong that it was almost impossible for a normal human being to control her body, Yakumo Mo finally broke free from part of the system's restrictions one day and created "Star Fall"!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
All the players couldn't help but raise their hands to block the wind coming at them. The deafening roar echoed in their ears.
"This guy is stronger than before …" Kirito smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to compete with Eight-cloud Ink, but now it seemed that he was overestimating himself. "Not good! Retreat!! Retreat!! "
Eight-cloud Ink's body spun faster and faster, and the fan in his hand released more and more energy. Not only did it completely cover the boss's huge body, but it also affected the surrounding area!
The spectating players were shocked. There was no such thing as immunity to damage from teammates in SAO! After all, SAO was a world of swords and swords. There was no magic in the game, so there were no large-scale damage skills. Naturally, there was no such thing as immunity to damage from teammates.
Who knew that there would be a guy like Eight-cloud Ink who jumped out of the system's restrictions. The energy in the air seemed to be endless, and the visual impact was absolutely huge for the ordinary players and even the elite players!
Finally, in the roar that lasted for a whole day, the four hp of the boss that didn't make a single effective attack from beginning to end was finally wiped out!
"Congratulations, you have obtained a unique item — Saint Crystal of Resurrection!"
After landing on the ground, Yakumo looked at the item in her hand as she caressed White's soft fur that jumped onto her shoulder and rubbed her cheek intimately.
[Saint Crystal of Resurrection — Unique Item, can be used to revive players within ten seconds of death!]
After looking at the description of the resurrection item, Eight-cloud Ink directly turned around and threw the resurrection item to Asuna, who was still in a daze.
"Ah!"
Looking at the resurrection item in her arms, Asuna suddenly felt like she was in a dream.
[I … I got a resurrection item so easily?]
Looking at Eight Cloud Ink, then at the Saint Crystal in her arms, Asuna couldn't help but blink in disbelief.
"You, you, you, you really gave it to me just like that?"
Eight-cloud Ink laughed and said: "Why wouldn't I give it to you? It's useless to me anyway. "
After saying that, Yakumo Mo turned around and left slowly, disappearing into the wind and snow.
Everyone stared at the resurrection item in Asuna's arms with burning eyes. The army and Divine Dragon alliance members wanted to snatch it several times, but when they saw the vigilant eyes of the Knights of the Blood, Souta, and Kirito, they finally gritted their teeth and left reluctantly.
"Yo! Vice-commander Asuna. " Souta stepped forward and winked at Asuna, "You owe Yakumo a big favor this time!"
After hearing Souta's words, Asuna looked down at the Saint Crystal of Resurrection, her pretty face became redder and redder, and she didn't speak for a long time.
