6 Not one, but two?

*Two days later*

Right now I'm walking at the end of the group with Kirito and Asuna. The first one updated his wardrobe a little and looks at me tensely, and as if nothing had happened, whistling, I go on. The other is watching both of us with little interest, trying to figure out what happened. And why am I in this situation now, explains the event that happened almost immediately after recruiting for the raid.

*Flashback*

And here is my favorite place to grind! Only one bird followed me. I need to find out what he wants from me.

"Heeeeey~ Do we know each other mister?" I shouted, looking at a certain tree.

Kirito came out from behind the tree and looked at me in surprise. He seemed to be wondering how I noticed him.

"What are you so surprised about? You stomp like a mammoth. You could be heard from a mile away." I immediately explained all the points. Well, the mammoth did not seem to believe that he was so noisy and became a little more wary. "Why are you so tense? I suppose the conversation with the girl did not work out. Umu? Judging by your reaction, it's true, huh~ Well, that's not the point. So why did you come?"

Kirito's eye twitched and his mouth opened and closed like a fish. "You're a beta tester, right? Why do you deny it so vehemently?"

"Actually, I'm not one of them. I really only bought this game a month ago because I thought it would be nice to have some fun here. And it did not live up to my expectations ... "He looked at me sadly, and I added. "It has surpassed them!" Now Kirito looked at me like I was crazy, which is not far from the truth.

"Do you have fun when people die around you?!" this righteous man began to lecture me.

"Am I to be sad because of some strangers or what? It's not my thing, you know." I immediately cut. He calmed down a little and realized that there was still some meaning in my words, but he could not accept it. "You can stay here and I'm off to grind the mobs. I still need to defeat the boss alone in two days." I went a little further to raise my level.

Kirito stayed where he was and started following me, but I didn't care. In three hours, I almost made it to the next level. I think tomorrow I will rise to 35. He looked at me in surprise, because I killed so many monsters in such a short time. But suddenly something else happened. There was a loud squeak-roar and a roar, and most importantly, that he was approaching us.

Kill the Ant King Boss

Reward: 30000exp, 10000 SP]

Excellent. Extra experience and SP never hurt. A minute later, a huge ant appeared to us, about 3 meters in height and 9 meters in length. I looked at him with anticipation because there were three HP bars next to him. Looks like it was the area boss. Like that Reaper, under the starting city. He will definitely drop a lot of experience and something interesting. I even know what I will do with the drop if it is not very useful to me. Kirito-oh, you'll be in my debt~ I immediately ran towards the boss and cut two of his paws. Eh ... game physics does not allow to cut off the limbs of the bosses, but it would be easy to deal with them when they have neither arms nor legs. Eh, dreams, dreams... Well, we should focus on the fight.

(This is my first time describing a fight, so please don't waste your slippers on me. I'll catch them anyway and won't get them back.)

You need to run around and catch his mechanics and patterns to make it easier to deal with him.

*5 minutes later*

Hmmm... He's rather slow, but still strong. One of his hits knocks out about 500 HP, and don't ask me how I found out... His movements are quite the same, although what I expected from an enemy with an ant body. I remember Hunter...

*Crack*

Oops, I almost got hit, forgive me little tree, I'll avenge you. It looks like we need to start fighting. Eh, and Kirito is just watching, I thought he would do something, but it's better for me, no one will interfere.

A kick to the paws and dodge his jaws trying to bite off my arm, a lunge to the head and dodge his right paw and the venom coming out of his mouth. A double slash spiced with Explosive Lunge across the belly, rolling away from Ant. I hide behind a tree and wait for the right moment. I can try Intimidate, since I'm already level 34 on the First Floor, I think I can get him. And here he is...

Come on... A little closer... And... Now!

*Intimidation*

He stopped! His HP is already in the red zone, I think a little more and he would have gone into a frenzy. We need to kill him quickly.

*Explosive Lunge/Double Slash* *Critical Damage*

I landed a blow directly to the head, and his HP quickly began to decline.

{Congratulations}

This is the first time I've seen this line myself... And it looks like Kirito and I are the first in this game to see it. Still, it would have been a great game if Kayaba didn't want to put on a show... Now I'm level 36, I've gone up two levels at once, not bad at all. This is the advantage of being a loner, because there is no one to share experience and loot with. And it looks like the world really favors Kirito, because a black cloak fell out, which I don't really like in terms of design and characteristics.

. But I think Kirito will be just right.

"Hey, I have a present for you here~ Please accept my friend request." I sent him this cloak after he accepted my request. He was surprised to say the least.

"I can't accept this!" and already wanted to cancel the exchange of things, but I would be offended if my gift was not accepted. That's why…

"Whine whine… My new friend doesn't like my gift. *Sobbing* What should I do... I'm going to throw myself off that cliff or something... Four times like that... Wow-ah-ah..." how well I play an adult who can't play a crying child. Either it seems to me, or he has already accepted my "gift" and is leaving. "Bye bye, Kirito-kun~ See you in two days!"

*End Flashback*

"Here we are. This door leads to the Boss's quarters!" Diabel said loudly and clearly. Everyone began to look at me, who was already approaching the door.

"Well, Diabel. Get your money ready~ I'm on it!" I burst into the chambers of the Boss, not intending to listen to anyone. But I manage to catch some words from Kirito and Diabel.

"Good luck…"/"Be careful"

Eh ... And how can I take his colls now ... But an agreement is an agreement, and I, as the right Devil, must follow it and sometimes turn everything to my side. And here comes the light. Some three figures in armor are running towards me, and behind them stands the Kobold Lord, a red humanoid fat dog. I think there is no other way to describe it.

"Well hello, My Experience!"

I immediately ran at those three and quickly dealt with them. They are kind of sleazy. Only the Lord remained, who looked at me dangerously. We need to deal with him quickly. It's good that I already know some of its features and about the Berserk mode. Only now he is already much faster than the Ant. I had to dodge as best I could. Fortunately, my reaction is top notch. I exchanged blows with him, tried to parry and roll so that the nerds of Dark Souls would let out a touching tear at the sight of this sight. I was already starting to get tired when he had one HP bar left. I already managed to use my offensive skills about 10 times and it's a bit tiring, so I need to move faster. It's good that I still have a lot of strength, it's not in vain that I rocked.

I jump between his legs, hit on the shins and calves, slip further, quickly roll over and double cut on the back. Jump up and avoid the body hit, land on the enemy's axe and jump to the head and Explosive Lunge to the eye. I accelerate and hit as fast and hard as possible. Red stripe... Damn! I don't have time to kill him before his Rampage... Damn... And here it is.

The kobold got a little bigger, and its eyes began to glow brighter. He throws away the ax with the shield and takes out Nodachi. He starts jumping up the pillars and trying to hit me, but with my Reflexes and Resilience, I somehow managed. You need to catch this frisky dog, but it's quite difficult. And I think the Intimidation will not work, so let's take the risk!

I run and quickly turn around. We paused for a second, but immediately ran at each other. I got hit in the side, but I hit him in the head with an Explosive Lunge.

{Congratulations}
