Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

It's unclear whether the Black Sword Knights were all approaching their battle with a playful, lighthearted attitude, or if the final boss, especially one fought by a top-tier player like her, was simply too powerful.

In the Black Sword Knights' twelve-hour and nearly twenty-odd attempts, Noon Himegami showed no mercy and wiped them out completely!

It wasn't until the twenty-fifth time that the Black Sword Knights were wiped out by Noon Hitomi, that the atmosphere of laughing and joking with the princess finally underwent a subtle change.

The biggest reason for this change in atmosphere was that Mikage, as the leader of the Black Sword Knights, felt pressure, and the source of that pressure was the god of light and exploration.

"Lord Mikage, although the final battle against former comrades is indeed difficult to bring myself to do, cough..."

At this moment, the God of Light and Exploration in the board of directors was already spitting blood.

The Black Sword Knights were wiped out twenty-five times in a row. Although the supply of faith power could still keep up, it still put a huge burden on his body and soul.

So at this moment, he finally couldn't help but speak up in a friendly manner to remind the leader of the Mikage Group.

"Although it's a bit late to tell you now, the final battle challenge in 'Dungeon Sanctuary 2' has a limited number of attempts. If you can't defeat the final boss within the allotted number of attempts... all contracts will be void."

"So please don't treat this battle as a game. Even if your opponent is a former comrade-in-arms, you should still be prepared to abandon all emotions and kill them."

The final battle has a limited number of attempts? How come he didn't know? How many attempts are left?!

Mikage didn't ask that foolish question. He knew that the only thing he needed to do now was to reach that beautiful future where he could be with the one he loved!

He now has to kill the person he admires at all costs!

Therefore, during the 26th challenge, Guild Leader Mikage gave a pre-battle pep talk in the guild's group chat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Hitomi no Oto has been online for twenty consecutive hours! During those twenty hours, she has been engaged in high-intensity gameplay for a full twelve hours."

As expected of a guild leader commanding a dominant guild, Guild Leader Yuying's pre-battle mobilization was also highly persuasive.

"It's been twelve hours. Even if you really want to play dungeon PvP games with that princess, you're probably all tired of it by now. Most importantly, her physical and mental endurance has probably reached its limit."

"I think you all understand now that Lady Yang is very serious about preventing us from completing this game! So... we must now do everything in our power to defeat her!"

"For no other reason than to end this battle, which is almost torture for her, as soon as possible, and give Yang Gongqin a reason to rest and sleep. I'm afraid that if she continues to push herself, she might die suddenly!"

If she continues to force herself to keep going, she will probably die suddenly.

What a high-sounding reason that is!

This reason made everyone in the Black Sword Knights instantly abandon their teasing or playful attitude towards the princess, and they decided to force her to go to sleep by defeating Himeko None!

The pre-battle pep talk by Commander Mikage was extremely inspiring. In the twenty-sixth battle to subdue the princess, the Black Sword Knights were no longer laughing and joking, but were completely focused on the BOSS battle.

So many wipeouts have allowed them to figure out this princess's fighting style...

Finally, with the perfect coordination of all ninety-nine knights of the Black Sword Knights, the berserk princess's health was reduced to below one thousand points!

Noon Hitomi wanted to put up one last resistance, but a bunch of chains made of flames that emerged from the ground bound her body.

"I'm sorry... Sister Yang Gong."

Honglian, who plays the magic damage dealer in her team, said with some reluctance.

Is this how you apologize?

As Hitomiya Noon tried to break free from the chains binding her character, the sound of armor rubbing against each other rang in her headphones.

The leader of the Black Sword Knights, Mikage, had already arrived before the princess he had admired and secretly loved for three years, holding a blood-stained longsword.

Mikage didn't even want to see her character bound by chains and kneeling before her. This wasn't how a princess should be, so let it all end.

"Go to sleep, Yang Gongqin. This trash game isn't worth wasting your time on." Mikage directly controlled his character to raise the longsword in his hand.

The leader of the Black Sword Knights swung his longsword directly at the princess, intending to deliver a fatal blow!

"I'm free..." The thought that popped into Noon's mind as she looked down at the longsword was that she could finally be free from this painful game journey.

But at that very moment, the scene that she had foreseen and feared but didn't know how to stop still happened!

A phantom... a phantom of Shanor suddenly appeared from her game character, and under the wide-eyed gaze of Heimiya None... blocked the fatal sword strike from the Black Sword Knights Commander for her!

The moment the sword blade sliced ​​through Shanor's body, Shanor's body materialized and blood gushed out instantly.

Why…

Yang Gongnao immediately controlled her character to hug Shanor, who was lying in her arms.

"Why does it have to be such a clichéd plot?! You should know I'm not buying into this boring storyline at all!!!"

"Because if I disappear completely, you won't have to worry about this boring game anymore, right, Sister Yang Gong?"

Shanor coughed up the blood in his throat and smiled as he spoke.

"Completely disappear? No need to care about this game anymore? Hey... you mean..."

Noon Hinami had already guessed a terrible outcome, and her friend, Shanor, gently stroked her cheek with his blood-stained hand, forcing a smile as he spoke.

"Sister Yang Gong, I'm sorry that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't become the character you liked. Now... you can finally go back to the game world you love."

"No...no...no!!"

The sound of Noon Hitomi's wailing echoed in the ears of every knight of the Black Sword Knights, just as the knights were about to rush to their princess's side to comfort her.

Several scarlet system warnings appeared before each of them.

'Warning: You have been invaded by player Shattered Bones·Hallant!!'

'Warning: You have been invaded by player Owlface Hel!!'

'Warning: You have been invaded by player Guipo·Matori!!'

'warn……'

As one crimson figure after another descended upon the weeping princess, at that moment, these intruders... might actually be her guardian knights.

PS: I updated two chapters of 6000 words as usual... This book is confirmed to be available on the first of next month. I can't really say whether I'll update a lot after it's released, since I want this book to be a slow and steady read and I can't be too impatient _(:з」∠)_.

Chapter 60 This time, I won't let you off the hook.

Before the battle officially begins, let's first discuss the detailed difference in combat power between the Black Sword Knights, supported by the God of Light and Exploration, and that fox lady.

First of all, the health of Takigami Rena, the goddess of fox spirits, is currently very poor.

During the time she possessed the princess's body with her power, she took on all the harm the princess suffered.

So now the injuries of this fox spirit are almost to the point that... its entire body is covered with deep, bone-revealing knife wounds, to the point that there isn't a single patch of skin on its body that is unharmed.

But what would be fatal to an ordinary person is merely a superficial wound to a deity.

Even the physical wounds are terrible enough. What the Black Sword Knights are doing now is equivalent to tearing off the flesh and blood of this Fox Goddess piece by piece, and crushing and pulling out the bones that protect her one by one.

Although Miss Fox was able to heal these injuries, the Black Sword Knights bled her far faster than she could heal.

If this continues, and her flesh and blood are completely stripped away by the Black Sword Knights, and the bones protecting her are also shattered, then the core of her divinity—the world core of that labyrinth—will be exposed.

Every attack from the Black Sword Knights afterwards was fatal.

Then there is the god of light and exploration, who sent the Black Sword Knights here, but they must pay the same price.

The life and death of the Black Sword Knights are linked to his divinity. Every time a member of the Black Sword Knights dies, in addition to depleting his faith power, it also causes some damage to his physical body.

The key point is that he can only sign this contract once during this period, and his divine status cannot withstand the arrival of a second top-tier guild of the same level.

So, like the Fox God, he also placed a heavy bet on the Black Sword Knights.

And this god of light and exploration has the support of the gods of "Dream City".

This allowed him to far surpass that fox lady in both self-healing speed and the reserves of faith power.

Yes, the Black Sword Knights' challenge has a limit on the number of attempts, but the God of Light and Exploration did not say whether the limit is one hundred, one thousand, or perhaps tens of thousands?

The reason he urged the leader of the Shadow Order to finish off the princess was because the Black Sword Knights had wasted too much faith power playing around with her.

The fact that they successfully defeated the Labyrinth Lord, who had transformed into None Hitomi, in one go when they all went into serious mode proves that if the Black Sword Knights fought seriously, they could have kept the number of team wipes to around ten, instead of the current twenty-six.

But that’s as far as it goes.

The master of the final labyrinth, Noon Hitomi, now only had one hundred health points left.

And now, the leader of the Black Sword Knights, Mikage, stood right in front of her. All it took was a simple normal attack from Mikage, a single click of the left mouse button…

That would cause a serious injury equivalent to completely dislocating one of the fox spirit's arms, one of his legs, and several of his ribs!

But perhaps because the princess was holding Shanor's body and weeping, the leader of the Mikage slashed mercilessly with his first sword strike, but his second sword was suspended in mid-air and he couldn't bring himself to swing it down.

Mikage's hesitation made the God of Light and Exploration click his tongue, and then he quickly spoke to him.

"Lord Mikage! After you swing this sword, you can go back to reality and comfort her!"

If Mikage remains unmoved, then the God of Light and Exploration is prepared to press the attack button on his mouse for him!

However, his seductive words were extremely effective, allowing the leader of the Mikage guild to successfully execute the second, deadly sword strike.

Unfortunately, it was Mikage's brief hesitation that gave the tea party members who had just invaded this BOSS battle time to react.

The sword strike that Mikage drew did not sever the princess's flesh; instead, it struck some kind of steel object. With the sparks that erupted, the blade in Mikage's hand was deflected!

"Hopeless! You're truly beyond redemption, Mikage!"

Uncle Hao Lan shouted to his old friend in an extremely bold voice, and it was the character he controlled... a tiger-headed fighter who stood in front of the princess.

"Hopeless? What do you know?!"

After Mikage's sword was blocked, he suddenly realized that he was only one small step away from the board member position he had always dreamed of. It wasn't just one small step... he only needed to move a finger to reach that perfect ending!

However, Hao Lan's sudden appearance blocked everything, which instantly enraged the leader of the Mikage.

"As the guild leader, it's dereliction of duty for you to put your guild members in such a painful situation! You're a gaming guild, aren't you? Everyone's here to have fun! But if we continue fighting now, it's no longer a game performance, it's a one-sided torture of this young lady!"

Uncle Haolan's voice resounded in the ears of everyone in the Black Sword Knights, but Mikage remained unmoved and shouted back at Haolan.

"That's why I used this method to get her offline and rest!"

Mikage was so impatient that he couldn't care less about anything else and directly gave orders to his Black Sword Knights.

"Your Highness, your character only has 100 HP left! Ignore these troublemakers, end this absurd boss battle as soon as possible, and end Princess Yang's suffering! Attack!"

When Commander Mikage gave the order to 'act,' the other members of the Black Sword Knights surprisingly remained standing still without making a sound.

There weren't many tea party members recruited by the Fox God. There were only ten tea party experts guarding the princess. Even if all the Black Sword Knights rushed forward, they probably wouldn't need to rush forward.

Any player with an AOE skill could potentially wipe out the princess's health by unleashing a few AOE attacks.

But not a single member of the Black Sword Knights took action at this moment.
