My system is broken will

The tentacles loosened due to the severe pain of Gazares' body, and at the same time began a state of self-isolation - which is [recovery during battle].

This is a skill that restores a certain amount of HP every second during battle. The BOSS will become very difficult after possessing it. The Gazares in front of you is a good example.

The position of the pupils has nothing to do with HP, and even skills such as [Recover during combat] cannot cure it. Only after Gazares's pupils are refreshed for a certain period of time can the opponent use [Evil Eye] type skills again.

Ray is just one of the [Evil Eye] skills. There are other Evil Eye skills that are more powerful than rays.

"boom!"

Hitting the unrecovered pupil is currently the most powerful attack against Gazares, because there is no need to consider the opponent's subsequent behavior. The BOSS will definitely shift all its attention to the pupil. The tentacles have changed from an attack mode to a defense mode, and there is no need to consider the opponent's subsequent actions.

The floor is twitching regularly. It is also a very common skill in SAO to destroy the floor and then use the raised tiles or rocks to hit people.

Gazares's HP gauge suddenly dropped to the yellow zone - just cutting off 50% of HP was enough to make Feng Chen work so hard.

(Do I really need to use that?)

This was not a suspicion, but a real necessity. Feng Chen believed that he would never be able to kill Gazares without using that.

"Ooohhhhhhh-!"

The combined attacks of the black one-handed sword and the white rapier made Gazares unable to judge or defend for a while.

After Feng Chen and Asuna's sword attack, there was another attack - Bella's attack that mixed three elements.

Three different abnormal states were perfectly applied to Gazares.

Gazares's [Recover during Combat] skill no longer works. With three top players attacking together, no matter how strong the recovery ability is, they can only recover slowly. Not to mention, HP is already being deducted.

"hiss--"

Something's wrong!

Everyone noticed that Gazares' condition did not seem to be in pain because his pupils were damaged, but more like...

It is waiting for an opportunity - an opportunity to severely injure or even kill Feng Chen and the other three in one go.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The three people's bodies were all entangled with tentacles, and Gazares was waiting for this opportunity for the three of them to become erect at the same time.

The way it was swaying up and down was simply mocking Feng Chen and the others for being too hasty, causing all three of them to fall into a rigid state so that they could be caught.

Now, all three people were within its attack range.

"ah--"

As mentioned earlier, the cries of players in SAO are caused by fear and despair, but...

The one who screamed was Bella, and the one who could make her cry out in pain must have been an attack that Feng Chen's body could not withstand.

"You lost, Gazares."

This successfully attracted Gazares' attention and caused him to stop the confinement type attack launched by the tentacles.

"Do you know why you lost?"

As the BOSS, Gazares is completely controlled by the system's program and can resonate with what Feng Chen said. This is something that Yui did not expect.

"That means you succeeded in irritating me!"

My left eye, which had not been opened for a long time, could see the light again.

The tentacles tried to cover Feng Chen's terrifying left eye, but it was already too late.

"Awaken again, [Eye of Balor]!"

As early as when the BOSS on the 74th floor was killed, Feng Chen's left eye was already able to open and use the [Eye of Balor].

In order not to let some players who had ill intentions towards Feng Chen know, he deliberately did not open his left eye, but kept it closed.

It's not worth using the Eye of Balor for such a BOSS, but using the Eye of Balor for Bella is tens of millions of times more expensive.

"Hiss—"

Gazares' HP gauge was instantly reduced to 0%.

The collapse of the system also gave Feng Chen a hint:

"BOSS [Gazares], strategy (fake) completed."

Of course, there is no reward. After clearing SAO, Honkai gives Feng Chen only one reward - becoming a [Senior Herrscher].

In other words, she has the strength of a Destined A-level Valkyrie. Of course, she is not A-level like Fu Hua.

"As expected, we still lost."

Yui walked out of the polyhedron fragments that Gazares had turned into. Her dejected look could easily give people the idea that she wanted to be loved and comforted.

Feng Chen is no exception, but the premise is that this Yui is not much different from the original - and is not the girl she saw who seemed to be full of problems.

"Thank you for playing such an interesting 'game' with me; Mr. Fengchen, Asuna, and Miss Benares. Then, we are destined to meet again."

These alone can make Feng Chen and the others confused: What does it mean to meet again by fate?

Under the Black Iron Palace on the first floor, there is a hidden maze area - Feng Chen has known about it for a long time.

And Yui is right there.

"In addition, regarding this 'game'; in fact, if you die here, your account in SAO will not die."

Eh?

What does it mean?

"Think about it carefully, the BOSS is originally a data, and you only need certain permissions to modify it. The [Kill] ability of this string of data has been modified by me a long time ago. In other words, the BOSS can only attack you.

I can't kill you. And..."

Yui showed a sly smile.

"Actually, this game doesn't do you any harm at all, right? Everything just now was just an illusion in your mind."

In SAO, these can be easily accomplished, right?

As long as Yui has access to a part of the data, then hallucinations and the like—it just changes the environment in front of the player, and has nothing to do with the HP recorded on the server.

As for the pain... you don't need to think too much to know that it is Honkai that synchronizes the pain.

"I beg you, please don't perform pain synchronization. Don't you feel heartbroken when Bella does this?"

Despite this request, Honkai still didn't take it seriously.

"If I don't give you some sense of synchronization, how can you grow?"

Emotional Breakdown believes that the growth and evolution of living things must be completed through lessons such as "the pain after falling".

It is undeniable that this is indeed the case.

In SAO, deep inside a maze area, in a safe area.

A girl in a white dress and black hair is sitting on a stone-like operating module, swinging her legs.

"Sure enough, they are 'outsiders'; right?"

As for "outsiders", as a part of SAO, the girl should have used her power to eliminate them.

but......

"Thank you for meeting me. What an interesting person. If only I could..."

The girl-like AI fell down on the operating module and fell asleep like a real human being.
