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

They stand on two feet, but are like giant red dragons without wings on their backs.

"Is this the Cannon Dragon..."

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Asuna looked through the dust at the dozens of huge red cannon dragons.

These cannon dragons in front of us are the culprits that turn the dungeon into a flaming hell starting from the 52nd level. At the same time, they are also a kind of powerful monster that only appears on the 58th level.

As their name suggests, these giant red dragons can spray "fireballs" and carry out artillery attacks.

Moreover, their bombardment was so powerful that they could bombard the ground from the 53rd to the 57th floors all the way to the 52nd floor before slowly running out of power.

If their power were a little greater, perhaps even the ceiling of the 52nd floor would be shattered by the bombardment of the flames and reach the 51st floor!

Therefore, once an adventurer steps onto the 52nd floor, all these cannon dragons will sense the enemy and launch a ruthless sniping attack on the enemy five or six floors away.

It’s like in the game you are facing off against another team in a battle, but halfway through the fight, you are suddenly attacked by people from the other team and are eventually wiped out.

Once the adventurers of Orario step into the 52nd floor, their enemies will no longer be limited to monsters on one floor as before. Instead, they need to be wary of snipers from the lower floors.

It has a wide range, great power, and continuous burns, and is also accompanied by secondary interference such as smoke, dust, gravel, and heat waves. Once it is supported, it will fall into the dual threat of snake tide and dragon flame.

Starting from the 52nd floor, common sense about dungeons will no longer apply.

The existence that led to this result is these cannon dragons.

The huge red dragons, which were over tens of meters long, slowly opened their ferocious mouths full of fangs.

There, the fire that had been brewing in the abdomen for a long time kept jumping.

As the smoke and dust in front dissipated, the flames in the dragon's mouth began to grow violent, and finally compressed into huge fireballs in the mouths of the cannon dragons.

"meteor------!!!"

A group of cannon dragons pointed their ferocious mouths towards Asuna. When the petite figure was looming in the smoke and dust, the fiery red dragons spit out scorching flames without hesitation!

However, for some reason, the power of these flames was much smaller than the power of the cannon dragons' upward bombardment. It seemed that they did not dare to destroy the ground beneath them?

However, before Asuna could think about it, the heat waves surging from the dragons' mouths had already rushed in front of her.

He pressed his body down gently, and the beloved sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white light.

"Click——!!!"

The rocky ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked into countless spider-web-like cracks. Around Asuna, white magic power continued to surge out from the sword of love, shielding the scorching heat of the flames.

The next moment, a beam of white light with a long tail appeared before the flame and disappeared instantly.

“Puff——!!!!”

A figure surrounded by an invisible hurricane shot out from the chest and abdomen of the Pao Long, like a bright meteor, piercing through the Pao Long's tough scales, flesh, and bones without any pause with its devastating force!

“Tread~!”

The white light dissipated, and Asuna landed lightly on the ground.

"Pfft!!"

“BOOM——————!!!!”

With a huge hole in its chest and abdomen, the Paolong fell to the ground, raising some dust.

Afterwards, the previous attacks of the cannon dragons were completely put to rest.

Amidst the deafening sound of the explosion, a monstrous wave of fire burst forth, and a small mushroom cloud reached the ceiling of the 58th floor. The tremendous heat wave blew Asuna's body far away. Fortunately, she used her magic power to cover her entire body in time, otherwise, she would have sustained an unknown degree of burns.

However, even if he really got burned, it wouldn’t matter, after all, he still had a lot of potions in his warehouse that had not been used.

However, compared to Asuna who was deliberately blown away by the heat wave, the cannon dragons relied on their terrifying bodies and extremely high resistance to fire to comfortably receive the oncoming impact and explosion.

There seemed to be a hint of joy coming from those low growls?

Maybe I heard it wrong.

Asuna was thinking this, a dragon roar that was completely different from the Cannon Dragon's roar suddenly sounded!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

In the distant sky, groups of "skinny" flying dragons that looked like pterosaurs and were purple-blue in color flew out from the gaps in the floors and rushed madly towards the direction where Asuna was.

Once upon a time, before the rise of the Loki Family and the Freya Family, the two most powerful families known as the Twin Kings of Orario in the previous generation, dominated the top of the entire labyrinth city just like the current Loki Family and the Freya Family.

The two previous generations of clans that have now gone bankrupt are the Zeus clan and the Hera clan!

Among them, Zeus's family, like Loki's family, mainly focuses on exploring dungeons, and they are typical exploration families.

And it was this family that broke the record for the highest number of floors reached in Orario, the 59th floor, which no one has surpassed so far!

The expedition of Loki's family not long ago was aimed at breaking this record.

It's a pity that they failed, but fortunately, they were not like the adventurers of Zeus's clan, where the main force of the clan was wiped out, leading to the decline of the entire clan!

After the previous duo kings were replaced by the current duo kings, no Orario adventurer's family could reach the 59th level.

As the first clan to explore the 59th level, the adventurers of Zeus' clan naturally also set foot on the 52nd level, and also suffered bombardment from the 58th level.

Even if the adventurers were lucky enough to dodge this sniping attack that crossed floors, it would still lead to another danger.

That is – the connection between the floors.

Afterwards, the passages on each floor that were forcibly opened by the cannon dragons will release another king of monsters - the flying dragon!

Although these winged dragons are much smaller than the cannon dragons, they can fly!

Before, before any adventurers came, they were like birds in a cage and could only stay obediently on their own floor.

However, when the Cannon Dragon forcibly opened the passages for them, it was like a birdcage being destroyed, allowing them to break free from the cage called floors and attack the adventurers who came from afar through the passages opened by the Cannon Dragon.

Chapter 28: The Cannon Dragon Accidentally Injured Friendly Forces

That is to say, after the adventurers have experienced the Cannon Dragon's attacks that ignore floors, they must also deal with the cross-floor attacks from the Flying Dragon!

It can be said to be double the happiness, so exciting!

However, this kind of happiness is fatal. Even high-level adventurers do not want to risk their lives to experience that kind of incomparable happiness.

The Cannon Dragon and the Flying Dragon, collectively known as the King of Monsters, are the reason why the 52nd to 58th floors have turned into hell.

You can definitely call this area the Dragon's Lair.

“Wooooooooooooooo————!!!”

On the ground, the cannon dragons roared and raised bursts of flames, which were compressed between their ferocious fangs.

The scorching heat transferred from their abdominal cavities to their mouths, condensing into scorching fireballs that were like miniature suns!

“Ah ...

In the sky, flying dragons with purple-blue bodies roared wildly, turning into waves of sound that echoed throughout the wilderness of the maze.

“Shua——!!!”

With a faint sound of breaking through the air, Asuna's figure suddenly turned into an arrow shot from a bow, and the beloved sword in her hand burst into a white light.

The battles in the dungeon are actually no different from those in SAO, it's just about spawning monsters.

The attack that Cannon Dragon was concentrating on was actually not a threat to Asuna.

Because they are too slow.

Although the damage of the "bombardment" was very high, due to their restraint, the power of the dragon flame was simply not enough to penetrate the ground of the 58th floor.

Moreover, with Asuna's speed, she could easily launch more attacks from those cannon dragons. In comparison, the flying dragons in the sky were more annoying.

“Ah ...

In the sky, the surrounding flying dragons saw that the enemy not only did not run away, but instead rushed towards them, and they roared angrily one after another.

The huge wings behind it flapped, stirring up countless strong winds. The huge body did not retreat but advanced, turning into a tide, and rushed towards Asuna like a speeding bomber!

"boom--!!!"

The hard ground beneath his feet was immediately trampled into a deep footprint, and countless cracks extended from the footprint in all directions.

"call out--!!!"

Asuna's body was surrounded by countless white spots of light, and the beloved sword in her hand exuded an extremely sharp aura as she rushed towards the swooping dragons.

“ROAR ...

As if provoked by Asuna's action, the flying dragons in the sky suddenly let out a deafening roar.

In a flash, the group of monsters from the sky and the adventurers from the ground faced each other resolutely and collided with a loud bang.

There is no suspense.

The large number of flying dragons, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, instantly swallowed up Asuna's figure, just like the sea swallowing up life. The wave of flying dragons instantly submerged Yasanna's figure, leaving no trace.

However, almost at the same time, a calm voice suddenly sounded.

"——Stardust——Splash——"

It was an extremely brief hum, and the moment the sound rang out, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the group of flying dragons.

Asuna, with white magic ropes wrapped around her body, stood firmly on the back of a flying dragon. As the dragon's soft hum fell, she thrust out her beloved sword fiercely, and then slashed it downwards like cutting paper with a paper cutter!

"Puff!--Puff!--Puff!"

Sharp magical blades suddenly extended from the sword of love, and as Asuna swung it, a flash of silver light intertwined in the air!

The thrusts and slashes were like a violent storm, attacking in all directions one after another.

With the clear tearing sound, the huge flying dragons were chopped off various parts of their bodies by the sword formation formed by the sharp magic sword blades. They were directly cut into huge pieces of meat and scattered to the ground with blood.

At this moment, Asuna, who was standing on the flying dragon, seemed to have turned into a meat grinder, weaving a sword dance of death in the sky, killing every flying dragon that flew by without hesitation.

“Ah ...

For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere in the sky. The dying howls of the flying dragons resounded through the heaven and earth. Finally, they fell to the ground powerlessly and were completely smashed into a meat paste. It was a terrifying sight.

The scene was obviously so bloody, but Asuna, who kept weaving white sword dance in the air, never let a drop of blood stain her body.

Her long chestnut hair fluttered continuously as the giant dragon flew restlessly under her feet. Her pretty face was expressionless, only solemn and determined. She did not waver in the slightest towards the flying dragon that died tragically under her sword.

The Ghost of Aincrad's Strategy Guide is back online after a long absence.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——————!!!”

At this moment, the cannon dragons below had also prepared their attacks. They raised their ferocious heads and sprayed huge fireballs towards Asuna and the group of flying dragons in the sky.

"Click~!"

The magic chains on her body broke under Asuna's control, and she swung the sword in her hand towards the dragon's slender neck. The invisible sword energy immediately cut it off, gushing out countless blood and carrying Asuna rapidly falling downwards.

"boom--!!!"

“Sh ...

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Under the acceleration of gravity and her own control, Asuna shot down like a sharp arrow.

In the sky, the remaining flying dragons flapped their wings hurriedly, trying to avoid the attacks of the cannon dragons!

However, in a hurry, the flying dragons were too close, and Asuna's attack just now more or less cut off their wings, so that their dodging speed was not only slowed down!

“Ah ...

The flying dragons on the periphery quickly escaped from the attack range of the flames, while those flying dragons that were unable to escape in panic opened their mouths and spewed out scorching flame bombs.

In the end, those powerless flying dragons were completely turned into ashes under the attack of the cannon dragons, and not even a trace of bones was left.

Having broken through the encirclement despite their absolute numerical advantage, the remaining dragons were immediately furious, and one after another let out roars and flames that shook the air, and launched another attack towards Asuna who was about to land.

However, these dragons seemed to understand how dangerous it would be if they got too close, so they flew high in the sky, breathing fire and harassing Asuna.

Chapter 29: The lingering monster

It's normal for a monster called dragon to be able to breathe and stuff, right?

However, although these flying dragons also know how to use breath attacks from a long distance, there is a clear difference between the breath of a flying dragon and that of a cannon dragon.

The fireballs of the Cannon Dragon were powerful enough to blast through floors and were huge in size, whereas the fireballs of the flying dragon in front of him were only the size of a human head. It was obvious that they were good at different things.

The Cannon Dragon's attack damage is incredibly high, but its attack speed is slow, and its number is far less than those of the "skinny" flying dragons.
