NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Words of Power
The Kobold Lord struggled to get up, grabbed the sword that had fallen to the side, and charged at the four of them again.
Kazuto Kirigaya took the lead, and the black iron sword in his hand flashed with a deep blue light.
Misumi Tozawa, who was next to Kazuto Kirigaya, escorted Kazuto Kirigaya, and the purple scythe, which was taller than her, was waving swiftly.
Soon, with the cooperation of the two, its life value successfully came to the last trace of the second-to-last grid of blood.
A cold killing intent flashed in Naoki Kirigaya's eyes, and the black color flashed on the sword in his hand again, and the already small amount of physical strength was reduced again.
Of course, Naoki Kirigaya's condition was not good either. Physical strength is not simply linked to physical strength, it is actually related to mental strength to a certain extent.
When physical strength is too low, what is squeezed is not only the potential in the body, but also the mental strength.
Now Naoki Kirigaya's condition is very bad.
A little dizzy.
However, this last health bar of the opponent must be killed in seconds.
Otherwise, it would be bad to give the other party preparation time.
The blue luster on Naoki Kirigaya's body was a little dim, but the black energy was still wrapped around the sword.
"Let's go together!" Naoki Kirigaya shouted.
Kirito held the sword in one hand, used a slash to pick off the opponent's attack, and the black long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed out, horizontal two-hit skill - horizontal arc slash, a cold light flashed, and two swift slashes slashed out.
After the slash, Kazuto Kirigaya just wanted to switch sword skills to connect the stun caused by the slash, the Kobold Lord Roaed, threw the shield in his right hand, and the shield smashed towards Kazuto Kirigaya with a whistling wind, Kazuto Kirigaya was forced to dodge, and it was this dodge that the BOSS began to switch states.
And its health bar happened to come to the second stage at this time.
All of this happened too fast. Misumi Tozawa wanted to connect the stun caused by Kazuto Kirigaya's slash, but it was too late at this time.
The Kobold Lord grabbed the slender and wide Nodachi behind him, and this action stunned the three of them.
Kazuto Kirigaya, who reacted, quickly said: "Back off, this guy's information is different from the closed beta!"
It's just that his words were not finished, Kazuto Kirigaya only felt a gust of wind blowing past him.
Naoki Kirigaya's figure was as ethereal and intangible as a ghost, and he actually appeared directly behind the Kobold Lord, and he didn't know when the sword in his hand had been unsheathed.
The three of them stared blankly at Naoki Kirigaya, with shocked expressions in their eyes.
Kazuto Kirigaya was a little stunned and said, "I didn't see his movements at all, you, did you see it?"
The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Naoki Kirigaya sheathed his sword, slowly walked past the Kobold Lord, the blue light on his body faded, the enhancement effect disappeared, he exhaled a breath of air, and muttered, "It's nighttime." (Note: A reference to Obito)
The Kobold Lord was still standing in place, its right hand still tightly gripping the slender katana behind it. Its blood-red eyes still held a chilling murderous intent, but it could no longer make any further movements.
The Kobold Lord's HP bar was completely emptied, its chest torn apart by a ferocious slash, and blood flowed continuously down its torso, staining the marble floor.
With a final trace of unwillingness, the Kobold Lord fell to the ground. Just as Naoki Kirigaya thought the Kobold Lord would dissipate into blue light, the BOSS's massive body turned into black flames and burned.
Naoki Kirigaya was slightly stunned. He looked at the place where the BOSS had burned away and fell silent.
At the same time, system prompts flashed before Naoki Kirigaya's eyes.
[Detected a powerful soul that can be absorbed]
[Automatically absorbed]
[Lucky Host, you have triggered a special task!]
[Kill fifty floor bosses]
[Reward: Spirit Power Awakening opportunity, injection of low-quality Dragon Blood *1]
[Kill sixty floor bosses]
[Reward: Spirit Power Awakening opportunity *2, injection of ordinary Dragon Blood *1]
[Kill seventy floor bosses]
[Reward: Spirit Power Awakening, injection of rare Dragon Blood *1]
[Kill eighty floor bosses]
[Reward: Spirit Power Awakening, injection of uncommon Dragon Blood *1]
[Kill ninety floor bosses]
[Reward: High-level Spirit Power Awakening, injection of perfect Dragon Blood *1]
[Each BOSS's soul can only be devoured once. After devouring, the other party's soul will be completely destroyed.]
[Do you choose to accept this task? Note: Once the task is accepted, it cannot be abandoned. During this period, all experience gained from killing BOSSes will be reduced by one-half as the cost of devouring the BOSS's soul.]
Naoki Kirigaya's eyes narrowed slightly as he browsed the information.
Ignoring his slightly throbbing head, Naoki Kirigaya fell into thought as he looked at the messages.
Looking at the rewards, Naoki Kirigaya's heart pounded.
Dragon Blood and Spirit Power linked together made it hard not to think of that aspect.
Was it the Dragon Clan? Some of the Dragon Clan's Spirit Powers were like bugs.
If it was Spirit Power, the boost to his combat power would definitely be a new level.
So the question was, after accepting this task, all experience gained from killing BOSSes would be reduced by half, but if that was all, it was still barely acceptable.
Although it was still a lot of experience, it was nothing compared to the generous rewards.
After a moment of contemplation, he chose to accept the task.
There was no way around it, the rewards were too attractive.
And he also wanted to light up the Golden Eyes. Although his pupils were already reddish-gold, they were still a little different compared to others.
Putting aside these random thoughts, he clicked accept, and another system prompt appeared.
[You have chosen to accept this task]
[You have obtained the following status]
[Soul Eater: The other party's soul will be devoured.]
[Effect: Experience gained will be reduced by one-half]
Then Naoki Kirigaya looked at the status bar in the upper right corner, and sure enough, there was a debuff like that hanging there. The icon was an ogre with its mouth wide open.
After dealing with the system's problems, the strong feeling of fatigue after the battle began to spread throughout Naoki Kirigaya's body.
He took out a bottle of stamina potion and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and only then did he feel a little better.
Naoki Kirigaya had just breathed a sigh of relief when a hand grabbed Naoki Kirigaya's clothes.
Kazuto Kirigaya looked at Naoki Kirigaya unkindly and said, "When did you learn that sword skill? It's too buggy, right? I can't even see your movements clearly."
Asuna also stood aside and said, "That's right. You have too many skills. Not to mention the skill that allows you to consume stamina to increase all your attributes, just that slash with its ridiculously strong power is ridiculous enough."
Naoki Kirigaya smiled sheepishly and didn't explain much.
But then he seemed to think of something, pointed to the BOSS's fallen body, and asked curiously, "Didn't you see it?"
Kazuto Kirigaya said unhappily, "See what? Don't try to change the subject."
Naoki Kirigaya choked and continued, "Didn't the BOSS turn into black fragments and dissipate when it disappeared?"
Kazuto Kirigaya touched Naoki Kirigaya's forehead and said strangely, "You don't have a fever. How could the BOSS turn into black fragments and dissipate? It disappeared as blue light."
Naoki Kirigaya fell into thought.
So only the player can't see the way the BOSS disappears?
He sighed and opened his equipment to check the equipment dropped by the BOSS.
Unsurprisingly, it was a black coat with excellent attributes.
[Equipment: Midnight Coat]
[Quality: Rare]
[Traits: Agility (I) Stamina Increase (I)]
[Dragon Protection: Cannot be damaged]
