I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Looking at these balls of light, Asuna frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

These fire elves had ill intentions from the beginning, and the magic they cast after chanting a long string of spells was definitely not as harmless as it appeared!

However, Asuna, who had just entered the game, had no idea what their magic did.

Leafa's expression changed, and she said immediately:

"This is trap magic!"

That’s right, the balls of light in front of Asuna and the others were magic specifically used to set traps.

This kind of magic is generally used to attack large bosses. Once it touches those light balls, they will explode immediately.

Therefore, Asuna and Leafa's current situation is that there are bombs in front of them and a sea of ​​fire behind them, and they can neither move forward nor backward.

The enemy actually made such preparations right from the start. To be honest, not to mention Leafa, even Asuna did not expect that they would be so fully prepared.

The enemy clearly has the advantage in numbers. Normally, it would be better for them to just storm and kill them, but why did they go to so much trouble to make these two preparations?

If it was a firewall, it would be fine, but the enemy set up such a barrier to prevent the people here from escaping. It is not surprising to catch the two people in the jar.

But this trap magic is really used inexplicably. It would be better to use attack magic directly to attack.

Unless the enemy already knew that although Asuna's men were few in number, they were very powerful, if they simply attacked by force, they would most likely fail!

Only in this way would they go to great lengths to set up trap magic at the very beginning to guard against powerful enemies.

In other words, they were not enemies that were suddenly encountered in the wild, but were targeting Asuna, Leafa and the others from the beginning!

After all, only if they knew how strong Asuna and Leafa were would they choose a more cautious approach.

Only in this way can the current situation be explained.

If there were only some ordinary wind elf players standing here, then these fire elves would naturally not go to so much trouble to do these things. They would just need to rush forward and force those wind elf players to return to the city passively.

The reason why they set up this trap magic was to take advantage of Asuna and Leafa's speed.

If Asuna and Leafa relied on their extraordinary speed and amazing flying skills to rush towards the enemy, then the five shield sword users standing in the front row would definitely not be able to react in time.

And once the magician they were protecting behind them was discovered by Asuna and the others, the five shield and sword users would surely die.

The enemy knew this, which was why they had set up this trap magic and buried mines in this area to prevent Asuna and Leafa from rushing in at their amazing speed.

This group of fire elves came here specifically to surround and kill them!

“————jiligurulujiligurulu————” (Ahem, I don’t even want to use this anymore |??ω?` ))

Just as Asuna and Leafa were reconstructing all of this in their minds and realizing the problems one by one, the fifteen magicians in the enemy camp chanted again!

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…!”

Orange-red fireballs immediately shot out and shot towards Asuna.

However, when these fireballs touched the ball of light, they did not cause the ball of light to explode, but instead passed straight through it!

Apparently, those balls of light only work on living things, not magic.

“Bang bang bang bang bang——!”

The explosion sounded again, and the flames once again engulfed Asuna and Leafa.

"hateful……"

Asuna raised her hand to block the enemy's magic attack. With that set of top-level equipment, her HP value only dropped by less than one-tenth, which was nothing at all.

However, the side effects of the explosion are another matter!

It has been said before that when attacked by explosion magic, not only will one suffer from tinnitus and dizziness, but even the brain in the real world may be affected, and it will take a long time to recover.

This is the situation with Asuna now. Even though the magic attack cannot cause much damage to her, the burning, suffocating and dizzy sensations brought by the flames are reflected in her without any loss.

Fortunately, Asuna is no longer an ordinary person.

In addition, she had already gotten used to the magic bombardments and explosions that occurred during battles in the dungeon, and her body had been strengthened several times, so this influence from the game could not shake her at all.

However, it was not Asuna's habit to be beaten unilaterally.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Asuna stretched out her hand and chanted the spell she had just learned.

“————Jili Gulu Jili Gulu————”

Magic words quickly flashed in the air and burst apart, transforming into countless wind blades that blew towards the enemy.

In response, the five fire elf shield and sword masters standing in the front row immediately took action.

"Aha!"

The five fire elf players holding shields shouted, held up their shields, and stood in front of the magicians.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The wind blades collided with the shield, making crisp sounds, and then the wind blades were bounced off by the shield without causing any impact on them.

Seeing this, Leafa's expression became even more unfriendly.

Asuna also slowly narrowed her eyes.

"He does have some brains."

Now, Asuna was completely certain that the enemy was well prepared and appeared here specifically to target them.

Knowing his speed advantage, he used trap magic to contain the enemy and equipped himself with shield and sword to defend against the magical attacks from this side.

As a result, Asuna and Leafa could neither rush forward to engage in close combat, nor could they use magic, so they could only become targets of the enemy and be killed directly by the enemy at a distance.

Such tactics and coordination would be impossible if they were not specially designed with prior knowledge of their intelligence.

061That damn bastard!

"This...what is going on?"

Faced with this sudden change in the situation, Leafa was a little shaken, but she soon understood what was going on.

Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, they were certain that these fire elf players were definitely targeting them and sniping them.

However, seeing Asuna's HP constantly decreasing under the enemy's magic attack, and herself being protected by Asuna behind her, how could Leafa not want to do nothing?

Leafa stretched out her hands, pressed them on Asuna's back, and chanted a spell at the same time.

“————Jili Gulu Jili Gulu————”

A faint light emanated from Leafa's hands.

"Zheng~!"

Under the illumination of a gentle light, Asuna's decreasing HP suddenly stagnated, and then quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This is Leafa using recovery magic for Asuna.

Although the recovery magic used by the wind elves is not as powerful as that of the water elves, it is more than enough to restore a small amount of HP.

“——————jiligurulujiligurulu————”

However, using recovery magic alone is not enough because the enemy fire elves' attacks have not stopped.

Leafa did not remove her hands from Asuna's back, but continued to chant the spell, casting a more advanced defensive magic for Asuna.

Rays of light emerged from all around Asuna's body, turning the area around her into a kaleidoscope, becoming colorful and spinning non-stop.

This defensive magic exists specifically to defend against magical attacks.

This magic has no effect on physical attacks, but it has the best protection against magical attacks and can greatly weaken the power of magical attacks.

As a high-level player, Leafa naturally has to learn this kind of high-level magic.

In this case, with the effect of Asuna's top-level equipment, the downward trend of Asuna's HP bar was suddenly weakened to the extreme!

It's just like the equipment crush in third-rate online games.

Fireballs continued to attack and explode from the fire spirits, but in the face of such an attack, with Leafa's help, Asuna's HP did not drop at all.

This left the fire elves dumbfounded.

“How…how is this possible…!?”

"Her HP index isn't decreasing...!?"

"My MP is almost exhausted......!!!"

The fire elf players all started shouting.

After all, watching the target of one's crazy attack not get any damage at all, while one has spent a lot of physical strength and energy, is enough to make the attacker feel despair.

beat?

how to spell?

The attack didn't even break the defense, and there was recovery and defense, so why would I risk my life to fight?!

These fire elf players were suddenly panicked.

Especially the leader, who stood in the center of the enemy camp. The robe he wore was obviously different from those of the people around him. He looked noble and luxurious.

However, even he couldn't help but waver when he saw Asuna's HP remained unshaken and her figure remained standing despite being blasted by countless fireballs.

“What the hell is going on…!?”

The team leader's expression kept changing.

Apparently they had not expected this to happen at all.

"That damn bastard never said anything like that!!!"

The team leader said this with gritted teeth, hating someone in his heart.

However, things have developed to this point and there is no room for retreat.

He gritted his teeth and ordered loudly:

"Don't panic, keep attacking, I don't believe that we can't break through her defense!!!"

As he said that, the team leader drank the MP recovery potion and continued to chant magic.

Damn, what a big loss!

The team leader cursed in his heart.

He always felt that his team might even be in danger of being wiped out!

Seeing their boss start taking drugs, the other players also calmed down.

They drank MP recovery potions to recover their consumed MP while continuing to chant and use magic, releasing countless fireballs in Asuna's direction.

“Bang bang bang bang bang——!”

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——!”

In the dim cave, violent explosions could be heard continuously!

Strong waves of fire and violent hot winds continued to sweep up.

If these attacks were carried out in the real world, no matter how strong the rocks were, the caves would have collapsed long ago after being bombarded like this.

Fortunately, this is a game world. No matter how severe the bombing is, the cave will not collapse. There are only waves of fire rolling and hot winds sweeping. The entire cave looks like it is on fire, which is quite scary.

"Ugh...!"

Not long after, Leafa, who was protected by Asuna, uttered a distressed sound.

Although he was not directly hurt, the waves of fire around him were extremely hot, giving his skin an indescribable burning sensation, which was very uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Asuna, who had been enduring and avoiding such fierce bombardment, looked like nothing had happened and her face was quite calm.

Leafa really had to admire such an Asuna.

To be able to withstand the side effects of such a bombardment, Asuna's willpower and heart must be very strong, right?

As expected, he is the one who guides players through the death game. So awesome...

Leafa looked at Asuna's back, and a look of admiration gradually emerged in her eyes.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Asuna! What should we do now...!?"
