Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 175 Rapid advancement, leveling area BOSS and new rumors

The next day, the three of them set off from [Urubas] and went directly to the front line of the current strategy, [Mamelo Village].

Only yesterday afternoon did players advance to [Mamelo Village], so the village was quite lively today, and they also saw some players who participated in the first-level BOSS strategy.

Not only the frontline strategy players, but also some production players also moved here and started doing business.

They did not stay too long in the village and took on some valuable tasks. After repairing the equipment a little and replenishing the consumable props, the three of them continued to set off and moved forward at an extremely fast speed.

After raising their level to level 13 and strengthening their weapons to +7 yesterday, their equipment level has almost reached the limit of the second level.

Although if you want to, it doesn't mean that you can't continue to work hard to increase the weapon to the upper limit of +8.

But to be honest, even if their current weapons continue to be strengthened to the +8 level, they can barely be used to the third level of the back end, and at most to the fourth level of the front end.

But after reaching the third level, whether it is dropped by monsters or forged by a blacksmith, it will be a level higher than their current weapons. Spending too much energy in pursuing +8 is not worth the gain.

Another more important point is that the situation today is different from that on the first floor.

At the first level, none of the players knew whether they could really conquer the game. They were afraid of failure and death, so they could only do their best to increase their strength to the limit before starting to consider the issue of conquering.

Now, after successfully defeating the first level BOSS, the players' mentality has changed. At least they are no longer as timid as they were on the first level. They have also begun to consider future plans and act more proactively.

This can be seen from the fact that players are currently advancing at a faster overall speed than they were on the first level.

However, no matter how fast they advance, they are not as fast as Fujimaru Ritsuka and his team.

Since there was no need for upgrades and enhancements for the time being, the three of them pushed forward in an almost reckless manner, quickly surpassing the progress of all current player teams, and successfully reached the last level before the maze area two days later——

Leveling area BOSS.

Although the entirety of Aincrad appears to be a cylindrical tower, with each floor feeling like a disk-shaped area, this is not actually the case.

For example, the second level they are currently on is divided into a wide northern area and a narrow southern area.

The location of [Mamelo Village] belongs to the middle and upper part of the entire second floor, and they are currently located at the entrance of the narrow southern area. They must defeat the BOSS in the leveling area in front of them before they can enter the maze area.

At this time, Kirito remembered something and curiously asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Speaking of which, you and Asuna were the first to enter [Tolbana] on the first floor. How did you deal with the BOSS in the leveling area that was blocking the way?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head and smiled when he heard this:

"We didn't know it was the BOSS in the leveling area at the time. We thought it was just a troublesome elite monster, so we just killed it."

Speaking of this matter, Asuna crossed her arms, glanced at her angrily and said:

"I didn't think it was anything at the time, but I realized something was wrong later. That monster was probably stronger than the BOSS followers on the first floor."

At that time, they were advancing too fast and had not had time to buy relevant information from Argo. Later, they learned that the other party was actually the BOSS of the leveling area, which made her feel a little scared.

"This……"

After hearing the other party's deeds, Kirito was surprised but felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

Generally speaking, the BOSS in the leveling area is indeed not particularly strong. It only requires a full team of players, that is, six players.

Considering the strength of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna, it is not surprising that the two of them killed the BOSS in the leveling area.

Back to the point.

The BOSS in the leveling area on the second level is a monster named [Ball-headed Bull Bau]. Just like its name, the opponent is a huge bull with a round protruding jaw. It will be used in battle. The mandibles continue to carry out compressive lunging attacks.

Judging from their current strength, even if there are only three of them, they should be able to conquer it smoothly.

However, looking at the opponent's huge and oppressive body, which was estimated to be about four meters tall, Fujimaru Ritsuka chose a safer strategy and decisively defeated him.

"Sorry, we're late." After they rested for a while, the called for backup finally arrived.

The support players called by Fujimaru Ritsuka were the muscular man Agil who served as the captain of the second team when they conquered the first floor BOSS, and his muscular team members.

This team is not only made up of muscular men, but the equipment is also in the unified tank style with heavy weapons and armor. They exude the atmosphere of tough guys from the inside out, which is very distinctive and impressive.

When Kirito exposed his identity as a beta tester and was condemned, the other party also stood up and spoke justice for Kirito, so the three of them all had a good impression of him.

"Miss Ritsuka, Miss Asuna, and Kirito are here too."

Agil was a little surprised to see Kirito in the team, but he didn't have too much doubt. He just assumed that he was also a player invited to participate in the strategy.

After all, as a closed beta player, the opponent should have information about the monsters. In addition, the opponent's performance in the first-level BOSS battle was also very impressive, so it was normal for him to be invited.

"I'm going to leave it to you this time, Mr. Agil and everyone else."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.

"We are the ones, and it is our honor to be able to participate in this strategy."

Agil smiled back, and the team members behind him also responded positively, looking very motivated.

Although there was no reason, Kirito guessed that they wanted to show off in front of the two beautiful girls.

"Hello everyone, let me explain the information about this BOSS."

He pretended to be calm and began to explain to everyone the attack mode of [Ball Headed Bull] during the closed beta period.

After all, the opponent is just the BOSS in the leveling area. Although the hill-like body looks very oppressive, it basically only has the attack mode of charging forward, turning back, and charging forward again.

If there are only three of them, Fujimaru Ritsuka, there will still be some trouble. However, after the Agil team joins, the Agil team as a tank only needs to continue to attract the attention of the monster, and then the three of them will attack from the side and everything will go smoothly. strategy.

This time, the dropped props are distributed in an equal share and auction manner, that is, players who need the props pay for the auction, and then the money obtained from the auction is divided equally among all players.

After all matters are determined, the strategy officially begins.

"Oh oh oh oh-!"

Agil and his team members stood in front of the monster, raised their weapons high, and let out a strong roar.

This is not a simple roar, but a derivative skill called [Intimidation], which can increase the monster's hatred value and make the monster target itself.

Sure enough, under the influence of [Intimidation], the ball-headed bull rushed towards the opponent, and with a loud sound of "Ziqiang——!", the two collided together.

Agil and others were pushed by the huge force and slid for several meters, but in the end they blocked the monster's attack and pushed the opponent back hard.

"Drink!"

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and three others rushed out and attacked the monster's exposed flank from the side.

Fortunately, there were no accidents during the strategy this time. The defense-offensive rhythm was maintained. After 10 minutes, as Asuna's final blow fell, the opponent let out a final wail and instantly turned into shimmering fragments. .

"Happy cooperation!"

"Pleasant to work with."

The two sides smiled at each other and congratulated each other. After dividing Cole and props equally according to the agreed distribution rules, Agil and others were ready to return to Mamelo Village for repairs, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and others decided to move on.

Before parting, Agil suddenly remembered something and said to the three of them:
"Speaking of which, do you know the [Legendary Hero] who has become famous recently?"

"Huh?" ×3
