140 chapter 41

The clash between a man and the Grim Reaper shook the entire chamber as the explosive force burst out from Leonard weapon clashed against the handle of The Fatal Scythe.

*kakakaka the grim reaper clattered its teeth as the creature blocked Leonard first attack- however, the block did not totally negate the force behind that attack and the creature loses some health in the process- albeit it was not much.

"Charge! Get into formation now!- shieldbearers and forward! Go go go!" Diavel took the chance and shouted out the command which brought the players together once more.

"Move it, everyone! We can't let that thing stood in our way to freedom!" Kibaou followed Diavel words by adding in some encouragement to boost the cannon- troops morale.

While that was happening, Leonard was struggling to hold his own against the Fatal Scythe and was sent flying with a full swing of the creature scythe.

"Shit!!" the force from the scythe send him shooting backward cannonball-style into the random crowd of players that was below.

*cough *cough "that...was unexpectedly strong...is this you so call reward for defeating you! KAYABA!!!" Leonard curses the bastard in red armor who like acting heroically all the thing in his inner monologue.

"Leonard are you alright?" Sachi rushed over in order to protect him while he tried to restore his own lost health point.

"Yeah I'm fine, just didn't expect that thing to pack that much of a punch - erm..scythe," he muttered in a low tone as he bit off the bottle cap of a health potion and began chugging it down his throat.

"I love the taste of this thing...strawberry flavored…that guy is so meticulous in designing this game...even stuff like this has some nice flavor." Leonard commented as he finished the potion- of course, the guy that Leonard was talking about was Kayaba himself.

"I think we should try to help them out now, that thing is quite strong." Leonard then pointed his finger at the group of players that was struggling to block the scythe swing, two tanks had to stack against one another in order to fully negate a single swing.

"Yes…" Sachi nodded before picking up her shield and mace.

The both of them charges directly at the Fatal Scythe that was busying itself pounding on the group of shieldbearers that was in front.

Sachi then leaped over the group of shieldbearer and appeared right at the face of the grim reaper and swung her mace at it bony pale face- which successfully interrupted and stagger the creature back, creating an opening for Leonard who was right behind of Sachi.

"Have another taste of this!" Leonard switched out with Sachi and slashed his sword and sliced the Fatal Scythe- starting from it face all the way down it ragged robe, then the slash wound began to teared and exploded out in a dark burst of power- once again staggered the monster back further.

The attack manages to lower down it health point by roughly five percent of its first out of nine health bar- of course, Leonard was not done with just that attack as he quickly followed up with a Negative Wave to further reducing the creature health point.

"Attack!!! Don't just stand there!" Leonard shouted at the players that were below him.

"HuuuuRRAAAAHHHH!!!" Kibaou was the first to take that chance and rushed to the front with his massive hunk of metal that one called a sword and swung it at the body of the Fatal Scythe, the blade itself smoothly slashed through the robe of the reaper- seeing a bunch of ants that has managed to fight back and took down a part of its own health.

The Fatal Scythe swung it deadly scythe in an attempt to rid of the bugs that were biting it from down below.

*swoosh *swoosh however once again it was interrupted by arrows going through it eyes- blinding it temporarily

*kakakkakaahhh!!!! The Fatal Scythe wailed in agony as the arrows destroyed its sight.

"Chances! Everyone goes all out now!" Diavel seeing that destroying the eyes of the reaper manage to weaken the creature, he quickly shouted out for all the players to go on the offensive and bring down the monster health as quickly as possible as he doubts that it won't be long before it eyes were restored and it weakness disappeared.

The players gladly took the chances that were given to them by the archers and quickly jumped into the fray and start to mangle and mutilate the grim reaper.

The sound of bone breaking, flesh being sliced, and the body being puncture sounded throughout the entire hallway.

As the reaper health dropped down to the red zone, the crack on it face began to glow in a blood red color and a buff appeared under the creature last health bar.

[Berserk- double all stats]

"...oh...we...are...so fucked…" Klein watched as the Grim reaper exploded out in a malevolent red wave of pure evil.

"Shut it Balls! We can see that!" Kirito punched him on the shoulder as he too, watched in horror as the boss monster switched into it enrage mode.

"Y'all need to shut the fuck up! Attack now! Tank! Quickly stack up! You need to double the effort as the boss already going all out at 200% move it! Unless you're waiting to die!" Leonard who shouted at them to start moving in an attack.

Leonard did not wasted much time and exploded out in a burst of speed and activated Shadow Step just when he was close enough to Grim Reaper and appear right behind it and slashed down Vengeance deep into the monster back.

*kaakaakakakakak!!!!!!!

The Grim Reaper quickly turned around and swung it scythe at him.

"Pay more attention to your front!" Sachi charges in from the front with her mace and shield and bashed the monster on it exposed back and interrupt the monster attack.

Quickly the other players joined in the attack and start to beat the monster down.

"Keep bashing it!" Agil shouted and slammed his giant ax down, pounding the Grim Reaper repeatedly and burned down it health point to a near critical level of just half a health bar left out of a total of nine.

"My turn now!" Leonard saw that the Fatal Scythe health point was at a low enough level to where he could confidently finish it off with just one final strike, he wasted no time and jump onto the creature body and impaled Vengeance into one of its eye socket and set a burst of energy coursing through it brain and imploded it from the inside out.

*sszzzzzzz static sound

The Fatal Scythe struggled and began to fizzle before shattered into a million pieces of data fragments.

[Congratulation!] Once again, a large message popped up to inform the players of the boss defeat.

[Last hit bonus has been deposited]

And the system personally informed Leonard of the bonus.
