The health bar is impressive. Although it has strong endurance in battle, does it mainly rely on lifesteal skills?

Despite her anger and sorrow, Asuna still retained her fighting ability and basic thinking skills. Facing this powerful enemy, an opponent she had never faced before, she swiftly dodged the next strike and then unleashed a Stardust Splash, striking the Blue-Eyes Demon's head and knocking it down.

Meanwhile, Klein, who had been lurking around looking for a chance to fight, seized the opportunity to finish off the opponent. Just as the third health bar was already half depleted, the Blue-Eyes Demon suddenly kicked out, and the forced knockback effect sent both of them flying. Then, the Blue-Eyes Demon leaped high into the air, and a blade of light fell vertically down. Klein was unable to dodge in time and was hit, falling heavily to the ground.

Asuna, not having time to worry about her teammates, quickly flanked them and launched a counterattack, but was knocked away by the roar that followed.

Her health bar was down to only one-third after being hit by two forced knockback attacks. The paralysis effect was still inflicting damage, making it extremely difficult for her to even stand up.

Outside, although the people of Fenglinhuoshan were anxious, none of them rushed to deliver it.

Just kidding, this is the BOSS! Even if they participate in the BOSS battle, they'll only be playing a minor role on the sidelines. If they were to face the BOSS head-on, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from him.

Not only will you die on the spot, but you will also needlessly increase the BOSS's health bar.

They're just making things worse.

It's not time yet.

Just as the Blue-Eyes Demon raised its greatsword high, about to smash it down on Asuna...

"Step aside!"

It's almost time.

Xiao Yan... no, Lin Yan fully demonstrated the excellent style of a familiar person who could save someone at a critical moment. The moment the broadsword fell with a strong wind, the Dragon Crystal Longsword resisted the pressure from the tip of the blade and went straight forward, creating sparks.

Paralyzed, Asuna, seeing the Blue-Eyes Demon's enormous and terrifying body and the cruel light in its eyes, felt a despair of death spreading throughout her body, and she no longer held any hope for her future.

Whether it's a promise to a friend, the expectations of family, or the reality that can never be returned to.

Will I meet Kirito again?

Or perhaps, if I die, I'll discover it's all a huge scam, and that death will free me from the game...

But even Asuna, who was deceiving herself, knew that this possibility was not just extremely slim, but simply nonexistent.

At the critical moment, just as the scrolling text was about to appear before his eyes, he suddenly felt the mountain-like pressure above his head suddenly ease. A young man wearing light fur armor, though not tall, stood firmly in front of him.

On his shoulder, the gleaming, transparent dragon crystal longsword was pressed down little by little by the broadsword. The young man's body trembled like a bow under the pressure, and the pressure made his lowered body a testament to the urgency of the situation.

"What are you doing standing still!"

While wrestling with the Blue-Eyed Demon, Lin Yan said:

"Quickly break the paralysis and come over to coordinate!"

"Ah...oh!"

Asuna quickly used a potion to remove the negative status effect, and then the rapier shone brightly, and Asuna regained her strength.

Stardust flew everywhere!

After repelling the Blue-Eyed Demon boss, the real fight could begin. Lin Yan's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and without even a thought about the wear and tear on his Dragon Crystal Longsword, he instantly sprang into action.

Rapier players are far more agile than ordinary players, but after Asuna unleashed Stardust Splash, she was about to thrust when suddenly her vision blurred and the target vanished from her sight.

Then they realized that the Blue-Eyed Demon hadn't disappeared; rather, Lin Yan had taken him down first.

This is……

What kind of speed is that?!

The members of the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain group outside also witnessed this sword strike. They only saw a fleeting afterimage before the Blue-Eyed Demon fell heavily backward.

As it fell, the demon's body lit up twice more, clearly a one-handed sword technique, Sonic Impact.

"He truly lives up to his reputation as the BOSS."

Since it wasn't an actual battle, Lin Yan couldn't feel the recoil from the sword, but looking at the health bar, it was clear that the BOSS's health had only been reduced by one-fifth after the two consecutive attacks.

In terms of attack and burst damage, my stats on the panel are still somewhat lacking.

If attack alone isn't enough, then make up for it with speed!

While others can only strike once, I can strike four times!

While others can only complete one thrust, I can complete three.

It combines the Niu Family Axe Technique, Zhang Family Sword Technique, and various other sword skills that can be used and performed in real life.

He should be able to inflict more damage than Kirito in the same amount of time.

And that was indeed the case. After the BOSS Blue-Eyed Demon fell to the ground, Lin Yan finished off the enemy at a speed that far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The second time he stood up and roared, the three experienced ones retreated to avoid him and get out of his attack range. But Lin Yan's toes stomped on the wall twice in a row, and the moment after the roar ended, he brought down a sharp claw from the sky.

The Dragon Crystal Sword slashed a long, horrific wound on the BOSS's back, and the resulting continuous bleeding effect completely destroyed the Blue-Eyes Demon's third health bar.

Asuna was dumbfounded. After Lin Yan slashed down with his sword, she suddenly realized what she should do.

The combo attack was almost at its limit. During the battle with Lin Yan, I should try to take advantage of the openings in the attack. When the BOSS attacks Lin Yan, all I need to do is cooperate!

Attack the BOSS from the other side to distract him.

Although the two had little interaction in previous boss battles, their teamwork in critical moments seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.

Lin Yan was quite surprised by the cooperation this time. Asuna truly lived up to her reputation as the female protagonist of the original series. She was quite easy to use and could ensure that every output of his was just right. Moreover, he would not be threatened by the BOSS's counterattack after he attacked.

I'm starting to think I'd like to keep using one.

However, these matters will be discussed later. After the blue-eyed demon in front of him let out another furious roar, it suddenly leaped high into the air, ignoring all attacks.

It was the same move again, but this time the target was Lin Yan.

"Heh, do you really think I'm a piece of trash?"

Lin Yan smiled. He had been suppressing his speed and hadn't truly shown his full strength.

To outsiders, the speed at which the Blue-Eyed Demon was falling seemed like lightning, incredibly fast. But in Lin Yan's eyes, it was not only as slow as a falling feather, but also had at least a dozen flaws.

In real life, Lin Yan was absolutely certain he could behead this guy with a single sword strike, but since he was playing a game, he had no choice but to dodge and avoid his attacks.

"Beast!" Lin Yan's figure suddenly appeared behind the Blue-Eyed Demon without anyone knowing.

At that spot, Asuna leaped high into the air, preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind and draw the BOSS's attention.

The two exchanged a glance in mid-air. Although they were somewhat taken aback, they had already cooperated, so of course they had to continue.

The flashing light and the tip of the dragon crystal longsword met, and as the skill lights of the sonic thrust and stardust burst forth, the two swords pierced the neck of the blue-eyed demon one after the other.

The remaining health bar quickly dissipated under the combined attack of the two; with such intensity of attack, Klein didn't even have a chance to intervene.

Finally, Lin Yan severed the Blue-Eyed Demon's head with his last sword strike. With its last bit of health depleted, the Blue-Eyed Demon let out a feeble roar and its massive body crashed heavily to the ground.

A kill notification appeared in front of Lin Yan.

Congratulations to player Lin Yan for defeating the BOSS: Blue-Eyed Demon! Rewards: 5 HP Saint Quartz, 5 MP Saint Quartz, 5 Attack Saint Quartz…

There were other items left, the functions of which Lin Yan was very clear about. They could permanently increase attack and health, and they were all rare items that were priceless.

Among them, what Lin Yan needed most was the attack Saint Quartz. When he looked at Asuna beside him, he hesitated for a moment, but still directly shared the reward panel with her.

"This is the reward for defeating the boss. I really need the attack crystals, and you can choose any half of the rest."

After all, she was Grandpa Tong's partner... uh, his widow?

Not really, at that point they were probably just friends.

"No need."

After defeating the Blue-Eyes Demon, Asuna was once again immersed in the grief of Kirito's death.

Moreover, if Lin Yan hadn't stormed in and brutally killed the Blue-Eyed Demon, I, who was in a state of paralysis at the time, would probably have been cleaved to death by a single blow.

I haven't even repaid the life-saving grace yet, so how can I share the spoils?

"Thank you... Lin Yan."

Asuna suddenly felt all her strength drain away, and she collapsed heavily to the ground, staring at the spot in front of her where Kirito had been killed.

"The deceased is gone, please accept my condolences." Lin Yan could only sigh, squat down and pat Asuna's shoulder affectionately to comfort her.

Seeing that she did not resist, Lin Yan roughly understood what was going on.

If we're talking about the pinnacle of beauty in the Sword Art Online universe, Asuna is definitely at the top. If I want to win her over, now's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of her vulnerability.

Of course, it's not about being persistent or clingy. If we start pursuing her now, not only will the goodwill from her saving my life be completely gone, but even the original impression will be overshadowed by her image as a lecherous woman.

The best option now is to leave, give her plenty of personal time, and then wait for the next suitable opportunity to pursue her further.

This is an experience I gained from another world, but I didn't expect to share this thing as well when I shared it.

Lin Yan carefully studied the underlying principles and discovered that each and every one of them had a corresponding psychological effect or a successful case.

Yes, if you follow the instructions, there shouldn't be any problems.

After the BOSS was defeated, Klein hurriedly recovered his health. Seeing Lin Yan heading to the 75th floor, he quickly followed.

Although we are equally saddened by Kirito's passing, our top priority is to save Lin Yan.

I cannot shirk my gratitude for being saved, and to also get to know such a powerful person is definitely a win-win situation.

Lin Yan's figure disappeared without a trace after entering the 75th floor, leaving Klein alone looking around with a sense of loss.

……

Each new floor represents an undeveloped area. Lin Yan circled around on the seventy-fifth floor.
