Rory vs IIIFang [ERROR] Part 1

*KRIIIIIIIEEEEEEER*

[%$@%$$# IIIFeng%$#%$@ERROR #@*!&%]

'What the fuck is that thing?!?!' Seeing such a bizzare and frightening creature in front of them, these words crossed the minds of all players present.

And slowly, they started to back away in fear, and not only afraid of the black monster, but also afraid of IIIFeng, who was still alive!

If it was just IIIFang, that would be fine, but now, they also have to deal with another monster that is also possibly a boss, and they don't have any information about it.

''Guys! Calm down!'' Hearing their leader's voice, and they pillar of hope, the fear in their hearts diminishes a little. Unfortunately, Diabel didn't seem to be in better shape than the others.

''I don't know what that thing is, but we can't despair! Squad A and Squad B, come with me, let's block the two bosses!'' when called, the players from Squad A and B step forward hesitantly, and Diabel looks at the rest of the players, ''And you guys! Use the teleport crystal to get out of here! NOW!!'' he exclaims.

Diabel has never been so nervous, but as a leader, he couldn't let it affect him, as it will affect the rest of the players as well.

''B-But what about you guys, Diabel-san?!'' a random player asks.

''Don't worry, when you leave, we'll retreat to the door. Even if it's closed, it's still possible to open it from the other side, we just need to hold it until you guys open it for us to leave!'' Diabel responds with a confident, forced smile.

The random player looks like he's about to cry, so he nods, and opens his inventory to get the teleport crystal.

The teleport crystals are lifesaving items, there are many bosses with very different and strange mechanics, the safest way to get out of a Boss room alive is with the teleport crystals, which transport the player to the last village that he visited.

*GRRRRRROOOOOOUHH*

IIIFeng didn't wait any longer, and advanced towards the players at great speed.

''Damn it! Here he comes, quick, use the teleport and get out of there! We will be waiting for you!''

The players in panic start to grab their teleporters and activate them.

Diabel saw IIIFeng approaching with his ax raised and pointing down, Diabel seeing the attack approaching, prepared his shield, and when IIIFeng attacked, Diabel used his shield to repel the attack to the side, seeing that the boss was destabilized by some seconds, Acil and Kibaou, who were part of Squadron A, attacked him from the flanks.

*GRRRRRROOOOOOUHH*

''Don't attack! Just concentrate on defending, this way, we'll resist much longer! Don't forget that if he only has one HP bar he will unlock his second stage, keep him with two HP bars!'' Diabel ordered.

'' ''Okay!'' '' Acil, Kibaou and the rest of the A and B squad players responded in unison.

Diabel and the others were blocking IIFang, but Diabel never took his eyes off the black monster, which seemed static at the time.

''Yes like this, stand firm-''

''D-Diabel-san.....''

Diabel hears the voice of the player who previously spoke to him, he turns in surprise and sees the player with a desperate face, and in his trembling hands he holds the teleport crystal.

Then he looks around quickly and sees that no one has left yet, but they all had their teleports in hand.

Kirito, Asuna, Silica and Rory were also in this group, the four have their teleports in hand and were trying to teleport out. Rory didn't want to use a teleport crystal, as she knows it was probably useless in this situation, but Silica begged her to use it, so to at least comfort her, she tried to use the teleport too.

''Didn't I tell you guys to leave?! What are you doing staring at your teleport crystals?!'' Diabel screams angrily.

''D-Diabel-san...the t-teleport crystals....are not w-working!''

''What...?''Diabel's face sank.

The door has closed, and the teleport crystals are useless, that means....they are stuck until they defeat the bosses, or until they all die!

Diabel, who had only looked at the players for a moment, felt a shadow grow over him.

His heart raced and his pupils dilated, and, as if in slow motion, he looked out of the corners of his eyes, and saw the black creature, his scimitars were just inches from Diabel's head.

'When did he get there?!' All players thought at the same time.

Suddenly, Rory, who was smiling at the desperate situation, turned serious. She grabbed Silica around the waist and quickly jumped away.

''K-KYAH?! R-Rory?!'' Silica exclaims, confused.

Feeling his end approaching, Diabel gives the players an apologetic smile and mutters, ''I'm sorry...''

''DIABEL-SAN!!!'' Kirito screams and tries to reach Diabel, but it's too late.

*KRIIIIIIIEEEEEEER!!!*

*BOOOOM*

The black creature hits Diabel directly on the head and cuts him in half from top to bottom, in that instant, Diabel's HP dropped to zero and he instantly exploded into light particles, but no one could see Diabel's death, because the creature's hit was so strong that it shattered the ground, sending stones and near players flying and creating a cloud of dust.

''Kyaaaah?!''

''W-What the hell?!''

The cloud of dust created by the monster's attack dissipates, and everyone looks on with wide eyes filled with dismay.

''Ku-kukuku, it's over, we're doomed....''

''No way...how could this happen....?''

''D-Diabel-san is...''

Diabel was nowhere, and that could only mean one thing

He is dead!

This information slowly burned into the players' heads, but they don't have time to process what happened yet.

''GYYAAH!!''

Players look to the side, and see a player who wasn't paying attention get killed by IIIFeng.

Rory decided to stop playing for now, the black creature was very fast, but she managed to see him moving, she is sure he has the same speed as her, or if not even faster!

The black monster and IIIFeng start attacking the players and they start running wildly in despair, trying not to get caught by the bosses.

Amidst the players, a player with strange orange hair trips and falls to the ground, IIIFeng, who was nearby, sees this and approaches him at high speed.

''HIIIII!! N-NO!! S-SOMEONE, HELP ME!!'' Kibaou looks around in despair, and his eyes land on a girl with black hair and pink red eyes.

Rory looks at him and smiles, and an expression of hope appears on Kibaou's face, ''HELP ME!! PLEASE!!''

IIIFeng has already reached Kibaou and is preparing its attack.

Rory stares at Kibaou, and sticks out her tongue provocatively with a wink.

She wanted to kill Kibaou herself, but it doesn't really matter as long as he dies while feeling fear and despair.

Seeing that Rory wasn't going to help him, he gets angry, ''FUCK YOU!! YOU LITTLE BI-''

Before he could finish speaking, IIIFeng hits him in the back, and he explodes into blue particles.

Players quickly began to die with the collaboration of the Bosses, the numbers began to drop rapidly, from forty players, it dropped to thirty-five, then twenty-five.... and when there were only fifteen players left alive, a boy with black hair resolves to fight to survive.

*CLANG*

*GRRRRRROOOOOOUHH!!*

Kirito intercepts an attack of IIIFeng that aimed at a player, Kirito counter attacks, IIIFeng defends and is pushed back.

''Asuna!'' he calls Asuna who was beside him, and she looks at him, she was evidently shaking with fear, ''Stay close to me, if you want to survive, we'll have to fight!''

Unfortunately he didn't have time to worry about Rory and Silica's safety as he has IIIFang's agroo now.

Asuna nods, and goes to his side, she bites her lip to wake her from the fear, and faces IIIFeng with Kirito, ''I will not die here!'' she proclaims with determination.

Kirito sees the determination and hope in Asuna's eyes and smiles, ''Lets go!''

''Yeah!''

They run towards IIIFeng, but unexpectedly, the black monster appears between them, and attacks aiming Kirito.

The monster was very fast and neither of them had time to react.

''KIRITO!!'' Asuna screams in despair.

Kirito sees one of the big black blades coming towards him, he closes his eyes instinctively and waits for his final moment.

In his last moments, he thinks of his little sister and a feeling of regret welled up in his heart., 'I think that's it.... sorry Suguha, I won't be able to go home...if only I had been a more considerate brother....I could die with a little more pride....'

*WOSH*

Sensing danger, the black monster stops its attack and quickly places its two swords in its chest in the shape of an X, then a black halberd came flying at high speed towards him.

*BANG*

The halberd blade hits the middle of the great black swords that defended the monster's chest, sparks flew everywhere and the monster was sent flying a few meters.

*KRIIIIIIIEEEEEEER!!!*

Kirito, waiting for his death, opened his eyes and saw a black halberd stuck in the ground next to him, and the black monster seemed to have retreated a few meters.

''I am...alive?'' Kirito say in disbelief.

''Oh my~, how rude of you, Kirito-san, trying to get all the fun for yourself!''

''Eh?''

Kirito looks up and sees Rory passing over his head, and landing beside the Black Halberd.

''R-Rory?!''

Rory ignores Kirito and faces the black monster, ''Kukuku~let's play a little, big boy~''
