I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"..." No need to hesitate...

Jill rushed out immediately.

"hiss--!"

The BOSS suddenly raised its head and then charged directly towards Jill.

Then, in that instant, the world before Jill's eyes seemed to freeze.

The whole world was rustling.

No, that's not right.

Jill couldn't identify any of the sounds.

But Jill could easily tell that each sound represented an opportunity.

Just as the BOSS charged forward, Jill took a step to the side and forward.

The BOSS's attack missed.

If we were to say which attribute Jill currently has the highest, it wouldn't be Strength, but Agility.

Jill is so fast that she can completely dodge even the BOSS's surprise attack. Even though the BOSS's attack has a pre-attack animation, the speed of the subsequent surprise attack is extremely fast.

However, Jill completely avoided the damage and, with a backhand strike, slashed the BOSS, causing its health bar to drop significantly.

"Not such a thick health bar...? Then the corresponding agility and attack should be quite high."

That's how bosses in the wild are; they always have strengths and weaknesses. Although there are bosses with balanced attributes, those bosses are usually hunted by closed beta testers who earn a lot of experience.

But this kind of BOSS, which specializes in a certain area, is more difficult to deal with in some ways, since it is specialized in a certain area...

If not dealt with promptly, it could lead to a major disaster.

"Bang!" It seemed unrealistic to let Gil handle the BOSS alone, so Kirito and Asuna also launched an attack on the BOSS together.

The giant snake's attack was pretty much as Jill had guessed, with both paralysis and poisoning effects.

When Kirito was attacked by the giant snake, he was paralyzed. If Gil hadn't reacted quickly and pulled Kirito away, Kirito would probably have taken the full force of the snake's attack and would have been knocked down immediately.

In addition, the snake's attack was incredibly fast, many times faster than the bear's. If it were to strike Jill, even with her equipment, she might not be able to escape unscathed.

Chapter Twelve Mission Complete!

The second boss has extremely high attack and agility, but its defense is not so good.

With the three of them dodging and attacking, the second boss was killed by Asuna with a single sword strike, dropping a green rapier.

So the three of them stopped again.

"The weapon that dropped this time is a perfect match for the killer... How lucky." Gil clicked his tongue, looking at the rapier called "Azure Serpent" in Asuna's hand.

"It was just luck, right? The weapon that dropped just happened to be this type..." Asuna said.

"..." Kirito didn't say anything, but his lips twitched.

He spent an afternoon with Jill, and on the first floor alone, he earned about 40,000 to 50,000 Cor.

This is just "following"...

"The quest log shows there's only one-third left," Jill glanced at the quest panel in her hand. "Just one last boss..."

"Hmm? Finally, there are some clear words?" Jill suddenly said, drawing the attention of the other two.

"...Defeat the last BOSS, or bypass the BOSS to obtain the quest item?" Jill read out the quest details. "Quest item...uh, this is it."

Gil showed the picture to Kirito and Asuna, "It's this crystal."

The picture shows a light purple crystal with light gold lines on both the top and bottom, making it highly recognizable.

"The quest will automatically complete after obtaining the item or defeating the BOSS..." Jill narrowed her eyes. "Hmm, the reward for this quest is probably the quest item, or something you get after killing the BOSS."

Jill stroked the fang in her hand. "The fang will soon reach its limit, so I'm hoping to get a new weapon. Oh dear, I really hope the boss drops a katana."

Kirito's lips twitched.

He always had this feeling that whatever the person in front of him said, the boss would obediently vomit something up...

Hmm...maybe it's just my imagination? You know, SAO is an RPG game, not some gacha game...you can't just control items to drop with your voice...right?

Kirito said he found it hard to believe.

"Let's go, let's go, it's the last boss. Let's finish it quickly so we can go back and rest, and then we can tackle the maze area tomorrow!" Jill stood up and said.

"You really never stop for a moment..." Kirito stood up and sighed.

Asuna, on the contrary, expressed agreement with Gil's words, "The sooner we finish the game, the sooner we can leave here. It's necessary to conquer the dungeon area. Do you want to team up together then?"

"Oh? I'm a solo player~" Jill chuckled. "If you want to team up, you can find someone to temporarily team up with, okay?"

"..." Asuna looked at the boy and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

SAO is now a death game, so why is he still so relaxed and carefree?

"Let's go, let's go~" Jill walked forward, "We're almost at the last boss of this mission..."

……

So Jill led the two of them around for a while, and they came to an open space.

This open space is clearly the so-called "BOSS room".

And there was a tiger-man who was about two meters tall.

Yes, the upper body is that of a tiger, the lower body is that of a human, one hand holds a strangely shaped large knife, and the other hand holds a pitch-black spear.

Moreover, a series of sounds of grass being rustled suddenly came from the surrounding area.

Then, four white-haired monkeys, just like those that had appeared in the misty area before, appeared.

However, these four white-haired monkeys looked significantly stronger than the ones that had been killed one by one in the misty area before. They were much larger, and their eyes were blood-red, making them look quite ferocious.

The tiger-man roared, and then four white-haired monkeys rushed at him.

"Give me the boss, the rest is up to you." Jill smirked. "Ah, come on, finally the main event!"

Jill ignored the remaining two and used his unparalleled speed, which was arguably the pinnacle of all players' agility, to entangle the tiger-man in an instant.

"Soul Flash - One Star!" The high-speed sword technique left a trail of afterimages as Jill was already engaged in battle with the tiger-man.

"Squeak!" Clearly, the remaining monkeys wanted to gang up on Jill, but they were stopped by the other two as soon as they took a step.

Kirito and Asuna attacked simultaneously, completely entangled the monkeys. The benefits of the equipment were obvious. Asuna killed a white-haired monkey with just a few sword strikes. The rapier called "Azure Serpent" was clearly excellent in terms of attack power.

"Clang!" The sound of metal colliding rang out.

Jill and the tiger-man attacked each other, and Jill's attacks were clearly much stronger than the tiger-man's.

When the tiger-man attacked Jill, Jill parried and blocked the attack, but Jill's health bar dropped very little.

Even when the tiger-man parried Jill's attack, a section of him could be clearly seen falling off.

Actually, this is also one of Jill's skills...

……

Soul Flash Triple Combo

Even if the monster parries or blocks, it can still deal 80% damage.

……

"Bang!" Jill slammed her sword into the tiger-man again and again. The Soul Flash Triple Combo skill was executed in three separate strikes.

Jill's attacks were fierce enough that the tiger-man quickly lost a lot of health, and his health bar was about to turn red.

Jill narrowed his eyes. He remembered that when the boss guarding the first floor turned red, he dropped his battle axe and shield and put on a nodachi instead.

And the tiger-man in front of us... as the final boss of this mission, should he also have a switching attack mode? Or perhaps some other special ability?

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The tiger-man suddenly increased the distance between himself and Jill, and his fur turned a blood-red color, as did his eyes.

He threw the spear aside, gripped the katana with both hands, and roared.

"Oh, so there's a mode switch after all?" Jill took a step forward. "I'll use this as the final blow—"

A sword light, as bright as a full moon, flashed through the air as Gil closed the distance between himself and the tiger-man. "Soul Flash - Full Moon!"

A wide-range sword technique struck the tiger-man in front of him, causing the tiger-man's health bar to drop rapidly until it reached zero.

Immediately afterwards, the tiger-man's body transformed into countless crimson shattered crystals, scattering in all directions.

At this moment, Jill's taskbar also lit up.

The task progress has changed to "completed," meaning the task has officially ended.

Chapter Thirteen: Argo the Intelligence Provider

After defeating the BOSS, Jill quickly found the crystal that the BOSS had hidden.

"What is this?" Gil showed the crystal to Kirito.

Kirito shook his head. "I don't know either."

"No introduction?" Kirito sighed and asked.

“No,” Jill shrugged and said.

"We should think of a way to get out of here first..." Asuna said.

Jill smiled and took out the mission teleportation crystal. "This can be used after the mission is over."

"Let's get out of here first." Jill activated the teleportation crystal, and the three of them left.

……

The second floor of Aincrad, the main street of Urbas.

After the three of them teleported back, Jill let out a deep breath.

"Ah, finally it's over." Jill glanced at the sky. "It's noon now."

"By the way, Kirito, I have a question for you." Gilles seemed to remember something, looked at Kirito, and asked the question he most wanted to ask, "Do you know where I can buy information?"
