Super God: If I punch you, you will die

The ground even trembled slightly.

Asuna had already drawn her rapier, and she stared deftly at the small stone giant charging towards her.

"I come."

The rapier gleamed.

The instantaneous acceleration left Argo speechless. "Such speed!"

Then Asuna nimbly unleashed her upper-level sword technique [Cascade], striking the small stone giant directly in the forehead.

His health bar instantly dropped by 30%.

Asuna gave her opponent no chance to breathe. She swiftly slashed at the stone giant's hands and feet, instantly disintegrating them.

The small stone giant turned into pieces of rock, which then scattered into blue polygonal fragments.

"Asuna, you're amazing."

Argo exclaimed in admiration, for it was the first time she had ever witnessed the beauty of the goddess Asuna, and she loudly proclaimed how wonderful it was.

Asuna's attacks were not only fierce.

Moreover, while attacking, they are constantly thinking and making the best judgment.

Her conclusion was—

"I suspect the weakness of this small stone giant lies in the emblem on its forehead."

"Yes, it must be."

Argo said.

He then turned to Lin Yan for confirmation, "Mr. Man in black, what do you think?"

"That's a common weakness of the stone giant race, and the floor leader is no exception. The only difference is that the leader's size is simply too enormous."

Asuna continued Lin Yan's words.

"However, with my attack power, I'm afraid it's not enough to deliver a fatal blow to the floor leader."

Argo was stunned by this statement, and she stared wide-eyed at Asuna.

"Even you can't do it?"

"Of course, it's much simpler for our team leader."

Asuna smiled gently and looked at Lin Yan.

Although they did not have a specific battle strategy, Lin Yan also said that this mainly tested the cooperation and trust between the three of them.

The main focus is actually on the cooperation between Asuna and Argo.

After all, the two are different types of players.

Lin Yan, as the main force, delivered a critical blow to the floor leader at the opportune moment, as well as the final fatal blow.

Asuna needs to be careful not to accumulate too much hatred.

Otherwise, Asuna would become the floor leader's primary target.

As you delve deeper into the maze, the atmosphere changes more and more.

"Are we close to the floor leader's room?"

Argo stared at the walls on either side as he spoke.

The ancient walls were covered with densely packed ancient characters that she couldn't decipher, as well as intricate and ornate decorative patterns.

It is evident that this possesses considerable aesthetic appeal.

The floor was made of gleaming marble.

Generally, the closer you get to the leader's room, the more decorative architecture and carvings you'll find, which are also symbols of power and glory.

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

"There are so many rooms on the fifth floor. I wonder how big the maze on the tenth floor was during the closed beta."

Argo remarked with a sigh.

She had always thought that Lin Yan was a closed beta tester, otherwise he wouldn't have such outstanding strength and abundant information.

"The fifth and sixth floors are relatively simple in construction. Compared to the tenth floor, they are simply not worth mentioning."

"So, they didn't even break through to the tenth level during the closed beta?"

"The closed beta test has just ended."

Lin Yan said that although he was not a real beta tester and did not participate in the closed beta, he knew that Kirito was deep in the labyrinth at that time. It was not because he was not strong enough to conquer the tenth floor, but because he was forcibly summoned back to the town of beginnings after the closed beta ended.

Argo asked again.

"Is there a giant python on the tenth floor?"

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

"hiss--"

Asuna gasped. These kinds of creatures were the hardest for her to deal with, not out of fear, but mostly out of disgust. Snakes, lizards, and the like.

"It's said that pythons are edible, with firm flesh that tastes almost the same as chicken. We could have a python roasting party sometime."

"No! I can only accept roasted pork, beef, and lamb! Pythons are out of the question!"

"Look!"

Argo suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked toward the end of the gloomy, terrifying road. Generally speaking, apart from the carvings and patterns on the stone walls, the closer one gets to the boss's room, the more gloomy and terrifying it becomes. This has become an unchanging 'common sense'.

Lin Yan looked over and the first thing he noticed was the wide staircase.

The pitch-black hole in the ceiling resembled a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, awaiting adventurers.

Cast yourself in the net!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Asuna said in a low voice.

She cautiously moved forward step by step, with Argo in the center and Lin Yan bringing up the rear. Actually, no matter what…

It makes no difference to Lin Yan where he is in the team. He will make a judgment and eliminate the danger the instant that danger approaches and Asuna is unable to cope.

This is beyond doubt.

"If there are no abnormalities on the side, then the coordinates are in the very center of the giant tower."

"Will there be any more passageways and doors after this, or perhaps the leader's room?"

Argo is still somewhat inferior to Asuna.

She was a little nervous.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

What about the beta era?

"Normally, the boss's room is behind the door, but it has been completely changed compared to the β era."

Lin Yan confessed.

He stared at the end of the stairs, but there was no light.

"I'll go and test the waters first."

Asuna was about to walk forward when Lin Yan blocked her way. A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips. "I'll go. You all stay put."

Argo wanted to say something more.

Asuna stopped her with a single look.

at this time--

No one is more reliable than Lin Yan. Competitiveness and pride are unnecessary burdens that should be abandoned.

The goal in SAO is not to be a hero or to become cannon fodder in the strategy, but to survive in the strategy.

Every life is precious.

Avoid unnecessary risks.

“There may be traps on the stairs, and these traps could be deadly.”

"That……"

"He'll be fine."

Asuna said.

"That's right. Whether it's strength, experience, speed, or adaptability, we're not on the same level as him, no, we're not on the same level."

Argoku smiled and shook his head.

Before meeting Lin Yan, she had always been very competitive, but after meeting him, Argo understood a principle: some people, some peaks, are insurmountable and unscalable.

This is fate.

That's a world of difference, an insurmountable gap.

"must be careful."

Although Lin Yan's strength was undeniable, Asuna still couldn't help but call out cautiously.

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

His figure receded into the distance, and the only light source was the oil lamp in Argo's hand. The primordial darkness was so dense that it seemed to block out all other light sources.

at this time--

Lin Yan also noticed the changes that had occurred on the stairs beneath his feet.

The staircase was both hard and smooth.

Step by step.

It makes a clicking sound when you step on it.

hum-

A noise.

The eerie sound suddenly rang out.

Several strange lights appeared in the distance.

The light came in clusters, seemingly artificial, floating in the air and completely dispelling the darkness before us.

The vision suddenly broadens.

"That's really true."

Lin Yan smiled.

The entire top of this labyrinthine tower is the boss's room. The curved walls are directly part of the tower's outer walls.

"The staircase leading to the sixth floor..."

Lin Yan surveyed the surroundings.

The rock, resembling black crystal, was covered with countless lines. Moving further, the lines converged on the ground not far away.

It was a circular pattern.
