"Fiuh! After 5 hours of continuous battle. We can finally catch a break…" Some players immediately drop down from mental exhaustion and some immediately take out food to eat because they were famished.
But…
"Hold on a minute… Why do I hear ominous music start playing in the background?" Someone paused and asked with a confused look on his face.
Then someone noticed the info screen floating above the ruin of the fortress.
[Orc General, Throkk Thenroth LV 98, Raid-Rank Tier 4]
[HP: 100,000,000 ,(100%) X12]
[Status: Berserk, Enraged, Elated, Blessed, Resurrected]
"A h-hundred m-million HP? Legion Raid Rank raid boss! Is this really the General? Not even the Goblin King is this strong!" The players despaired after looking at the stats.
But among the scared crowd, a mad man charged at the boss without fear and an animalistic grin on his face.
"Your Head is MINE!" Kirito howled excitedly and performed a Sword Skill, "Sonic Leap!" He charged his blade while running and then leap towards his enemy to unleash his first two slash which barely did much damage but he didn't care as it didn't matter to him at the moment. Then, when he landed on the ground. He didn't let his momentum die there and showed everyone why he is the one possessing the Advance Class, Blade Dancer and unleashed a flurry of slashes that chain to one another, making his blade never stop moving according to a flow like a flowing river.
"Vorpal Strike!" He dashed forward and stabbed the Orc General with Blue Rose, inflicting Frost Debuff that reduced his opponent's movement and action speed. Then he used "Vertical Square!" and combo it with "Meteor Break!" to unleash a total of 11 hits before lifting Night Sky up high and slamming it down instead of actually slashing it's head with "Meteor Fall!" to inflict a temporary stun.
Kirito gasped and panted from the highly taxing moves he did. He paused for a microsecond to exhale before he inhaled a little bit of air with his grin turning wider as he dashed forward with a wolfish smile, stabbing his swords into his opponent's stomach, making a series of rapid combo slashes that leave behind rays of sword trails like meteor shower at the enemy.
"Starburst Stream!" He roared on top of his lungs.
"Damn! That guy is crazy! The onlookers said as they watched Kirito only managed to chipped away less than one percent of the Orc General HP.
Krusty and Issac took this opportunity to rally the players.
"What are you doing to just watch? Are you all really that much of a coward to admit yourself are okay to being outdone by a Lv 70? If not, show me your guts and fight!"
"OOOHHhh!" The players regain their vigor and start rushing into battle while ranged players rain down attacks along with bombardments from the cannons at the Orc General.
"Oi. Oi. Look at that. The junior is doing his best out there. Are you not ashamed that your seniors are doing nothing to contribute?" Ray suddenly appeared near Ainz and Rimuru who was watching on the sidelines instead of fighting.
"Well, most of my spells are AOE and the risk of friendly fire is high if I attack now. So I have to wait." Ainz quickly responded although his eyes never left the Orc General in order to analyze it.
"Well, I am the same too." Rimuru shrugged.
"Hmn. Well, this is gonna take a long time if you two didn't participate immediately." Ray points at the Orc General's HP bar that is regenerating rather fast that it's HP back to 100% already despite the all out attack.
He made it a 'little' too difficult. So, Ray has to fix this mess up. To do that, he summoned Freya.
"What is your order, Master?" She asked with a soft-spoken and eager voice to please her Master.
"Go fight that thing and don't kill it. Just help enough to make the fight easier for them." Ray gestured his paw at the Orc General before at the now organized players in two Legion Raid party setup of 96 total players each scattered over 16 different six-man parties assigned and commanded by Shiroe and Krusty
"Of course, mine Master." She said with a melodious soft-spoken yet eager voice, offering a curtsy with her mixture of pelt and chainmail, short battle skirt that revealed a small section of her thighs between her skirt and armored leggings.
Then she turned around and sprouted her dark feathered wings before jumping off the flying warship. She glided down directly at the Orc General and dropped down, slamming her spear down and causing the ground to explode when she landed, stunning the Orc General.
Then the shadow immediately spread around the Orc General before the shadow started to ripples and shot out numerous Chain Spears that restrained the Orc General.
Freya is always excited and eager to use this ability, it's the proof of acceptance from her Master. A physical proof that he finally accepted her into his fold and blessed her with his power.
"Attack!" The players roared after seeing the opportunity presented to them as they unleashed all combos they could without needing to worry about the Boss temporarily because it was restrained and couldn't move.
With continuous cooperation between Freya, the raid party on the frontline and numerous other players and the warship raining down attacks on the Raid Boss, slowly but steadily and surely chipping away its HP until the last three HP bar left which took almost two hours.
The fight was laborious and exhausting that most players are incapable to continue anymore with mental exhaustion settling in as they were pushed and pushed again beyond their limit.
"It's alright, Shiroe-san. Let me deal the finishing blow." Ainz triggered his iconic Super Tier Magic once landed near the battlefield as Shalltear, Albedo and Cocytus bought him a dozen seconds to complete his casting time.
After twelve seconds passed.
"Goal of All Life is Death." Ainz said as the three Floor Guardians immediately dispersed while Ainz approached the Raid Boss. Then he cast another spell, "Cry of the Banshee."
An ear piercing cry caused everything in a 100 meter radius around Ainz to die and wither away. Even the ground that turned into a crater of death land where nothing could live.
The Orc General becomes still for a few seconds before its weapons drop from its hands and it falls to its knees before it explodes into rainbow coloured bubbles that fly up to the sky while leaving behind a lot of loot. Even the highest grade, Phantasmal-Grade drop items
"Woooooh we won!" The players all cheered excitedly and hugged one another to celebrate their victory.
Meanwhile only a few cautious people look at Morgan in fear as it takes them so much effort to kill a Raid Boss but Morgan could one shot a Raid Boss effortlessly. They even start to doubt she is just a simple Ancient NPC as she claimed. Because not even the Global Knight Orders that are known to have members stronger than players within their rank but none could not just effortlessly one shot a Raid Boss but also wipe out an entire mountain and the millions of monsters in the mountain.
