Zhang Yu set off and ran into the left passage, and Asuna hurriedly chased after him.

She pushed Yurier, who was standing in a daze, to the other side of the intersection. Then, after putting down Yui in her arms and handing her care, Asuna shouted briefly.

"Please take this child to retreat to safety!"

After confirming that Liere nodded pale, she picked up Yui and walked towards the room, Asuna drew out her sword and advanced to the left.

Zhang Yu's back, holding his long sword tightly, was reflected in Asuna's eyes.

The god of death turned his eyes and stared at Asuna. At this moment, Asuna's heart seemed to be caught by a pure sense of fear, and the chills penetrated her whole body.

Zhang Yu, who was standing in front of her, said in a deep voice.

"Asuna, this guy is quite tricky. The strength reaches the ninety level... You go to the safe area and take the other three people out with crystals."

“Huh…?”

Asuna took a breath and her whole body was stiff. At this time, the god of death slowly moved in the air and leaned towards the two of them.

"I'm responsible for holding it back first, you go first! Only when you go first can I have no worries."

"Yu, jade is also together..."

"No, this is my battle..."

Even if it is the last escape method, transferring crystal is not a omnipotent prop. From holding the crystal and specifying the transfer location to the actual movement of the moment of activation, a delay of several seconds will occur.

If you are attacked by monsters during this period, the transfer will also be cancelled.

Asuna fell into a confusion. Even if the four people moved first, Yu could not let the leader catch up and reach the safe area with his own foot strength. However, the leader's speed of advancement cannot be underestimated. If he left first, he did not appear. This made Asuna unable to bear it.

No matter how strong Jade is, it is impossible to make a strategy alone when facing a leader with a 90-level strength. You can't leave him alone...

Asuna glanced at the depths of the passage on the right.

——Yui, I'm sorry, I promised to be with you all the time...

Thinking so in my heart, I screamed at the same time.

"Miss Yurier, Yui will ask you! You three will escape together!"

Yulier shook her head with a stiff expression.

"This...how can this..."

"hurry up!"

At this time, the god of death, who slowly waved his sickle, radiated miasma from the hem of the robe and began to advance fiercely.

Zhang Yu frowned and stood with his left hand against the tip of the sword, standing straight ahead of Asuna. Asuna also hugged his back desperately and put the sword on his right hand on his sword to form a cross. The god of death didn't care about the two swords at all, and swung the sickle with the top of the heads of the two.

Red flash. Shock.

Asuna felt herself spinning. She first hit the ground, then bounced back to the ceiling, and finally fell back to the ground. Her breathing stopped and her vision was pitch black.

Zhang Yu didn't expect that the boss's attack also had a knock-off effect. He was knocked out. He quickly adjusted his posture in the air and turned around and squatted down to the ground. He looked up and stared at the boss slowly floating over.

Asuna confirmed her and Zhang Yu's HP bar under her vague consciousness, and found that she had lost half of her health because of this blow. The ruthless yellow color means that she will not be able to survive the next attack and lose the power to fight again.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu's HP only dropped one-tenth of the time and was still within the safe range. His level was already full at this time, and his strength, agility, defense and health can reach the extreme. Therefore, the tank level is comparable to that of the shield warrior of the same level.

——At this moment.

The subtle sound of footsteps came into his ears. Asuna turned her gaze in surprise, as innocent as a kitten who didn't know there was danger ahead, and her continuous progress was reflected in her eyes.

Slim hands and feet, long black hair. It was Yui who was supposed to be in the safe area behind him. The gaze without any fear was staring straight at the huge god of death.

Death swung his sickle again ruthlessly. If he was caught in that range of attack, Yui's health would indeed dissipate. Asuna also tried to say something, but her lips were so stiff that she couldn't speak.

Zhang Yu couldn't care about so much at this time, and gently tapped the ground under his feet and disappeared out of thin air! In fact, the speed was too fast at this moment, and it had already exceeded the human sight.

"Swoosh..."

The boss's sickle slashed without touching any object, only the sound of slashing through the air.

Zhang Yu hugged Yui, who was slightly surprised, and ran to Asuna. He helped Asuna up who fell to the ground and handed Yui over to her.

"Yui, I know you were not a player before. But when you called Mom and Dad, you were already our daughter. Now it's Dad's turn to protect you and Mom. Open your eyes wide, Dad is very strong."

While talking, Zhang Yu smiled and touched Yui's head. Then he showed a reassurance to Asuna and turned around and walked towards the death boss.

"Jade……"

Asuna called Zhang Yu in a hoarse voice, hugging Yui tightly in her arms.

"dad……"

Yui's small lips smiled, but her big and dark eyes were filled with tears. She murmured as she stared at Zhang Yu's back.

Then he immediately looked up at Asuna and said quickly.

"Mom, I'm all thinking about it. If Dad can't hold on after waiting, please let me take action!"

"I remember it all? You took action..."

Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at the death boss floating in the air, silently reciting in his heart.

"【Dark Sword】Open."

Suddenly, a layer of black mist appeared on Zhang Yu's long sword, slowly spreading to his body. He was wrapped in thin black mist, like an elf in the dark.

What is the Dark Sword?

[Dark Sword] One of the ten unique skills of SAO. The unique skills include the Two-Sword Stream, the Holy Sword, the Infinite Gun, the Dark Sword, the Sword Drawing Technique, the Sword Wrap in Hand, etc. Zhang Yu has known the [Sacred Sword] of Hitzcliff/Kaba Akihiko, and Kirito's [Two-Sword Stream].

The second-knife stream skill is given to all players with the fastest reaction speed. Because Zhang Yu was targeted by Kayaba Akihiko, he did not get this skill.

[Dark Sword] Zhang Yu automatically appeared in the skill list after he single-sweeped the 74th level boss. He was also confused when he first saw it, because he had never heard of this unique skill before. However, it was better to have it than not, so he didn't worry about it anymore.

If [Sacred Sword] is absolute defense, [Two Swords] is the ultimate fast attack.

Then [Dark Sword] is a burst attack in desperate situation. Its skill effect is that the lower the HP value, the higher the attack power bonus. It can add up to 500% of the attack, which is five times the damage.

Zhang Yu had no chance to use this skill after obtaining it, because except for that careless boss, the HP blood tank rarely dropped half of his blood. Now he spent his days leisurely with Asuna, and he lacked opportunities.
