Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

"Why are you here?" Avina asked, her expression displeased.

After overcoming numerous hardships and dangers, their guild finally reached the end of the gate, only to find that someone had arrived before them.

What puzzled her even more was that there were only three adventurers on the other side.

In reality, they were two adventurers; Avina genuinely believed that Lu Xiao and Avina were twins.

"Why can't we be here? That's a strange question," Lu Xiao said, somewhat speechless.

Avina glanced at the passage behind her: "Are there very few monsters on your path?"

"I'm not sure. You can go back and check; it might have been updated by now."

Lu Xiao yawned, and this composed demeanor only made Avina angrier.

"Hmph, it's just that they chose a good path. Their luck won't last forever; the final boss will test their true strength!"

"You don't need to worry about that, High Priestess."

At this moment, members of the Undying Guild also arrived from another passage.

Their team was in a much worse situation than the Glory Guild, with half their members gone.

Joel was already wounded in several places, and an arrow was still stuck in his arm.

Joel pulled the arrow out fiercely and spat, "You damned centaurs, daring to ambush me! I'll wipe out your leader!"

"Yo~ Isn't this the Undying Guild? Why are you only arriving now?" Avina said sarcastically.

Joel's eyes flashed with malice: "What's so great about you having healing and getting here before us? If we had healing, you wouldn't even be able to see our taillights."

Just as the two were arguing, Lu Xiao quietly pushed open the door to the final boss.

"etc!"

"Are you crazy!?"

Avina and Joel shouted in unison.

Because they had just arrived and needed to recover, Lu Xiao opened the door at that moment.

A low growl echoed through the dark hall.

Immediately afterwards, all the candles on both sides of the hall were lit.

A huge centaur leader stood there, holding a sword and shield, and carrying a dark blue longbow on his back.

[Centaur Leader Centaur, Level 21, Combat Power 270, Weapon Master, Proficient in all weapons.]

With a combat power of 270, apart from Lu Xiao, no one present had a higher combat power.

Avina and Joel gasped.

The aura emanating from the BOSS instilled fear in them.

"You bastard, do you know what you've done? You should at least wait until we're all recovered before opening the door!" Joel roared.

Avina, staff in hand, declared, "There's no point in saying anything now! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

At this moment, the centaur leader raised his forelegs, let out a roar, and charged towards the crowd.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao used the Mushroom Swarm skill.

Fifteen mushrooms appeared and began attacking the centaur leader continuously.

The freezing status of the Ice Mushroom greatly reduced the Centaur Leader's charge speed, ending before it even reached Lu Xiao.

"What kind of skill is this? It can summon so many mushrooms?" Joel was shocked.

"Never mind that, this is a good opportunity, go!" Avina gave the order.

The members of the Glory Guild were the first to rush forward.

"We can't let them get the final kill, charge!" Joel shouted, raising his arm as he charged forward.

A group of people engaged in a fierce battle with the centaur leader.

Joel immediately activated his berserk mode, his skin turning red, and slashed at the centaur leader's back.

The centaur leader swung his sword backhand, slashing a huge gash across Joel's chest.

"Pfft~" Joel quickly stepped back and took out a hemostatic spray to spray on the wound.

"Mr. Joel!?"

"It's alright, you guys be careful, I'll just rest for a bit."

Even with the support of Lu Xiao's mushroom swarm, the fight remained very close.

Lu Xiao, who was standing to the side, looked on with some confusion. Was it really that difficult?

Avina continuously cast healing spells, her chest heaving violently, her mana almost depleted.

She glared fiercely at Lu Xiao: "It's all your fault! You started the boss fight before we could even rest! The boss still has more than half its health left, let's retreat!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."

Lu Xiao waved his hand.

The hidden clone suddenly launched an attack.

The Serpent Fang Sword flashed with a cold light, activating Asuna's skill "Flash Pierce"!

A golden light flashed, and the longsword, imbued with a stealth-breaking strike, pierced through the centaur leader's body.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the level 21 Centaur Leader, increasing your level to 16 and your combat power by 16 points.]

One blow kills.

The three-meter-tall centaur boss crashed to the ground.

Everyone froze in place. The BOSS had been instantly killed?

They looked at Lu Xiao's clone standing on the centaur's corpse, and the powerful aura emanating from him made them take a half step back.

What kind of powerful person could kill someone with a single blow?

Everyone stared at him with incredulous looks.

Lu Xiao walked to the centaur corpse and obtained three pieces of equipment.

Centaur Shield

[Quality]: Excellent

[Level]: 21

[Effect 1]: Increases the chance of blocking by 20%.

[Effect 2]: Gain a 20% movement speed bonus.

------

Centaur Longbow

[Quality]: Excellent

[Level]: 21

[Effect 1]: Hit rate increased by 21%.

[Effect 2]: Hitting the target inflicts a medium-level bleeding effect.

------

In addition, there is a skills book.

【War Stomp】: Stomp on the ground, causing dizziness and damage to surrounding targets. The dizziness effect is linked to the target's dizziness resistance; the lower the resistance, the longer the duration.

"This skill book is pretty good~ It's the first time I've ever gotten a skill book."

Lu Xiao picked up the skill book and examined it. He could choose to learn the skill himself or exchange it for other items in the trading market. Both options were good.

"What skill is that?" Avina asked.

"War-ravaged lands? What, you want that? If you do, then offer something else in exchange."

"What?! It's the advanced warrior skill War Stomp!"

"It's war that tramples everything! My God, this book will sell tens of millions!"

"This is a skill that countless warriors dream of, with a drop rate of less than one in ten thousand!"

Both teams revealed greedy expressions upon hearing this.

Lu Xiao smiled slightly and put the skill book away.

"Don't you have anything to offer in exchange? If not, I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Ivina called out to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao frowned: "What is it?"

Avina calmed herself down and said, "We created this book together, so we should split the skill book equally."

Lu Xiao: "Oh? Let me hear your plan for splitting it equally?"

"I suggest we decide who owns the book by rolling dice, don't you think, Joel?" Aviana winked at Joel.

Joel nodded: "That's right, rolling dice is the fairest way!"

Lu Xiao laughed in anger: "You guys are really insatiable! I killed the BOSS when it still had more than half its health left. Your absence wouldn't have affected the outcome of the battle. So tell me, where's the fairness?"

Aviana and Joel knew better than anyone that this was definitely unfair, but they still wanted the skill book.

With this skill book, whether you let the warriors learn it or sell it, it will raise the guild's strength to a whole new level.

Avina's face flushed and paled in turns, but she still forced a brave voice and shouted, "You can't say that! We drew the BOSS's aggro and withstood the damage so you could have a chance to kill us in one hit! This skill book should rightfully belong to us!"

Joel immediately agreed, stepping forward while clutching his wound, his eyes fierce:

"That's right! Either roll the dice, or hand over the book and split it equally! Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, members of the Glory Guild and the Undying Guild immediately surrounded him, drawing their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Lu Xiao chuckled, his eyes suddenly turning cold.

"Threatening me?"

He slowly raised his hand, and his clone from the shadows quietly appeared, the Serpent Fang Sword pressed against Avina's waist.

At the same time, Lu Xiao flashed forward and grabbed Joel by the neck.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao had the entire situation under control.

"Let...let him go!" Joel swallowed hard, his face covered in sweat, terrified that Lu Xiao would snap his neck.

"We were wrong. This skill book should belong to you. We apologize." The murderous aura behind her made Avina's body go limp, and she knelt on the ground.

"That's more like it, bye everyone~"

Lu Xiao waved his hand and swaggered away from the middle. Everyone made way for him, fearing that Lu Xiao might change his mind and kill them.

After Lu Xiao left, Aviana and Joel collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Send someone to find out the truth about those twins." Avina wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Joel: "I give up. We might have messed with someone we shouldn't have. Sigh, let's retreat!"
