Yamabuki Hanajin discovered that her counter-damage skill could even reflect poison status; the snakes that bit her would lose health faster.

Even if I stand here without moving, these venomous snakes will die in droves.

Poor monster.

Because the two of them skipped two levels to fight monsters, their levels rose very quickly. After clearing the first wave of poisonous snakes, they had already reached level 7.

"Ding, current level 7, acquired skill: Shield Blade."

Shield Blade: Attacking enemies with a shield will cause a bleeding status.

"Taunt! Shield Bash! Greatshield Charge! Shield Blade!"

With one combo, all the surrounding monsters were wiped out.

Kiriko stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Was my previous game strategy all wrong?

Is this the correct way to play the game?

Is it too late for me to reset my skill points? Seriously, this game doesn't even have a skill reset function.

With no other choice, Kiriko could only stick to her old ways.

And so, they arrived in front of the area boss, the Poison Dragon.

This is a boss that looks terrifying.

Because there are no antidotes in the early stages, and all of the Poison Dragon's attacks are highly poisonous, if you get even a little bit on it, you will be burned to death by the poison in no time.

Especially in a world where you die as soon as your life points reach zero, few people are willing to kill the Poison Dragon in the early stages.

"Speaking of which... was this boss during the closed beta? Why didn't I know about it? Is there a flaw in my information?" Kirito was still wondering when the two of them pounced on the Poison Dragon.

"Watch out!" Kiriko couldn't help but warn.

In an instant, the poisonous dragon's claws landed on Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Shield value increased."

Moreover, when the Poison Dragon slapped Yamabuki Hanajin with its claw, Yamabuki Hanajin's shield bar only decreased slightly, while the Poison Dragon itself lost a small chunk of its health.

Poison Dragon blinked. Something seemed off about the script. Was something wrong?

"Shield Bash! Taunt! Greatshield Charge! Shield Blade."

After a combo, Poison Dragon...

I lost a tiny bit of blood.

"I knew it, the damage was still insufficient!" Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but complain.

Fortunately, a bleeding status effect was added to the Poison Dragon, and its health bar is slowly decreasing.

At this moment, the Poison Dragon launches an attack: Poison Pool.

The dragon spews out a large amount of venom, which turns into a poisonous pond on the ground. Anyone who stands on it will continuously lose health.

Yamabuki Hanajin's eyes lit up immediately. What a great thing! She jumped into the pool, and the shield bar above her head was rapidly increasing.

"Hmph, it's time to show real perseverance. A real woman never backs down in the face of any difficulty. Come on!"

And so, one lacked sufficient damage, and the other had no output whatsoever.

One person against one boss, and that's how it goes.

Kiriko realized that she had no room to intervene and could only watch from the sidelines.

Although her damage output was not low, she just checked the Poison Dragon's attributes and found that it was actually a level 10 boss.

Generally, this requires a team of at least ten elite players with clear roles, who may have a chance to defeat the Poison Dragon during this period.

but……

Yamabuki Hanajin stood in the poison pool, and the shield bar above her head never dropped, while the Poison Dragon's health bar was slowly being worn down.

"This world has finally become something I don't recognize!" Kiriko sighed.

Finally, after an hour of fierce fighting between the two, the Poison Dragon's last drop of blood was worn down.

"We won!" Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but shout.

An hour! That's a full hour.

Although there have been many incredibly difficult bosses in gaming history that were designed to annoy players, Yamabuki Hanajin still provides a great sense of accomplishment.

Just then, the experience points from killing the Poison Dragon were credited, and both Yamabuki Hanajin and Kiriko reached level eight at the same time.

"Ding, current level 8, dedication."

Sacrifice: All damage taken by teammates will be transferred to yourself, but this is the ultimate skill for protecting teammates.

Great! Now I don't have to worry about Kirito getting slapped to death by the boss!

Chapter 517 (Main Text 517) Don't Speak, Cut Me!

The two not only leveled up, but also obtained two pieces of equipment.

Poison Shield: Attacking with the shield inflicts a poison status on enemies. Innate Skill: Poison Dragon (summons a poison dragon to attack enemies).

Heirloom Ring: Quest item, cannot be worn.

And so, the two of them happily returned to the village.

The village chief looked at the two family heirlooms and wept bitterly.

"You are such kind people. This is the best sword in the village. Please accept it as a return gift." The village chief took out the Venomous Blade, the reward for completing the mission.

Kiriko immediately took the equipment; it was the first high-level piece of equipment she had obtained since entering the game.

Is today really only the second day since the game was released?

Why does this game feel so fast-paced?

Kiriko began to research her next leveling strategy.

"If we're at level eight... we can go farm some materials and equipment first, and maybe we can reach level ten before sunset today," Kirito said, stroking her chin.

Yamabuki Hanakami checked the time; it was already past three in the afternoon.

"No way, I can only stay in this world for a maximum of nine hours. I should find something exciting to do. How about the two of us go and fight the boss on the first floor?" Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly had a whimsical idea.

Kiriko looked at her like she was crazy.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Do you know how difficult the bosses on each floor are? With our current equipment and level, going there would be suicide." Kirito immediately shook her head in denial.

In the original Sword Art Online timeline, tens of thousands of players spent a full month developing their characters before finally defeating the first-floor boss.

Even so, they paid a very heavy price; the team leader was killed in battle, which put a lot of psychological pressure on Kirito.

"We're only level eight right now, we can't win! We absolutely can't win." Kirito shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"It's alright, I won't force you. I'm going now, so please remember me in the future." Yamabuki Hanajin turned and walked towards the first floor boss.

Kirito is completely numb. I originally thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to be serious.

You can't win; there's a limit to how far you can go in solo in this game.

The boss's stats are far higher than the player's; one person's strength is limited, and only by working together can we overcome the difficulties.

Although Kiriko knew this principle, she still couldn't help but solo the game because of her personality.

But that doesn't mean she can just watch others go to their deaths.

"Come back here! I won't watch you die in vain!" Kiriko reached out and grabbed Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Hmph, who do you think I am? Just a level one boss, no problem. How about it? Want to come with me to farm the boss? We're sure to get high-level equipment." Yamabuki Hanajin was like a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

"Don't you understand? There's no way the two of us can defeat the first-floor boss at our current levels. We need at least fifty well-equipped players with detailed intelligence and tactics to even have a chance. We're only level eight right now, and our equipment isn't that great either. I just don't want to watch you die," Kirito shouted.

Yamabuki Hanajin placed her hand on Kiriko's shoulder and said solemnly, "Of course I understand. Humans have their limits, so... I'm not going to be human anymore, Kiriko!"

"Where did this line from that shonen manga come from?!" Kiriko looked at Yamabuki Hanajin with a face full of despair.

……

The Sword Art Online world has a total of one hundred levels, each guarded by a boss. You must defeat the boss to enter the next level.

The equipment and resources available in a given tier are limited, so challenging a tier boss is almost always a death sentence.

“I understand all these principles… so why are you with me?” Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Kiriko beside her.

"At least I can help you take your last words out with you," Kiriko said irritably.

Yamabuki Hanajin smiled happily, "Girl, let me take you flying."

And so the two of them arrived in front of the first level boss.

Kiriko was still very nervous, after all, this was not a simple game, it was a game that determined both skill and life or death.

The first boss is the Kobold Lord, who has extremely high mobility and terrifying damage. Kirito estimates that with his current stats, he can only withstand one hit at most, and he can't even withstand a second hit.

The Kobold Lord has four health bars. Each time a health bar is lost, a new attack state is unlocked.

The earliest kobold lords used shields and long axes, and their movements appeared rather clumsy.

But after you take away one bar of his health, he will discard his shield and poleaxe and switch to using dual scimitars, greatly increasing his attack speed.

When the kobold lord has only one bar of health left, he will discard his dual swords and take out a two-meter-long nodachi, greatly increasing his mobility and making him the most threatening character.

"We can still retreat now. Are you sure you really want to fight him?" Kiriko asked.

“Of course.” Yamabuki Hanajin, holding the Poison Shield, strode over to the kobold lord.

The kobold lord noticed someone approaching and immediately switched to an attack stance.

The war is about to start.

Kiriko gritted her teeth and finally followed closely behind Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Giant Shield Charge!" Yamabuki Hanajin used her movement skill to rush to the side of the Kobold Lord and swung her shield at the Kobold's head.

"Shield Bash!"

However, to Yamabuki Hanajin's surprise, the opponent raised his shield to block the shield attack.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! That's a foul!" Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but yell.

Kiriko gave a wry smile: "You don't think this is a traditional turn-based RPG, do you? You can attack, and the monsters can naturally defend or dodge."

"Just kidding! Taunting!" Yamabuki Hanajin immediately started taunting.

"Little puppy! Come and hit me! Come and hit me!"

The kobold lord instantly lost his mind and swung his axe at Yamabuki Hanajin.

After the collision, Yamabuki Hanajin's health bar finally dropped a piece, while the Kobold Lord's health bar also dropped a little.

"Good meat. Shield Blade." Yamabuki Hanajin swung her shield and smashed it onto the kobold lord's head.

The kobold lord began to lose health continuously.

The kobold lord swept his battle axe across, sending Yamabuki Hanajin flying with a single blow.

"Overwhelming in strength, speed, defense, and health. But that's what makes it interesting." The shield bar that Yamabuki Hanajin had previously created had a time limit; once the time was up, the shield bar would naturally disappear.

"Kiriko, does this game have teammate damage?" Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly asked.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Kiriko asked, puzzled.

"Answer quickly!"

"In order to pursue realism, there will naturally be teammate damage."

"Then take your poisoned blade and cut me."

Chapter 518 (Main Text 518) Kobold Lord: Damn! I ran into a monster on the way out.

There were just too many shocking things that happened today; Kiriko has gradually become numb to it all.

Upon hearing what Yamabuki Hanajin said, he didn't hesitate to take the Venomous Blade and stab her.

Yamabuki Hanajin also thoughtfully activated her Sacrifice skill, which can help teammates withstand damage.

After entering the poisoned state, Yamabuki Hanajin's lost health points begin to recover rapidly, and the excess health points are converted into a shield.

"That's the feeling I've been looking for. Poison Dragon!" Yamabuki Hanajin activated the skill on her shield, and a ferocious poison dragon appeared, spraying venom all over the ground.
