Kenshi, The Spirit Swordsman

Chapter 12

Few weeks later after they met Rain, the three of them live in the same house since then. Even though it wasn't too long but those days really were fun for them, and all the fun has to come to an end someday.

-11/7/20XX-

Right now, Kenshi, Shin and Rain are checking their equipments to prepare for today boss fight.

Kenshi: Now then, are you ready?

Shin: Yep.

Rain: Totally!

Kenshi: Great. Let's go, team!

-Floor 75: Collinia-

Once we teleported to floor 75, as soon as we got here, there are a lot of players from the Front lines here, no kidding.

???: Hey!!!

A voice calls out for me. I immediately knew whose voice is it. It's Ball- I mean Klein. He's not alone, though. With him, there are Agil, Asuna, Kirito. Great! Our friends are here, I'm not really surprised since I knew they would be here.

We walked towards them while I was waving.

Shin: Hey guys! I see you are here too.

Agil: Of course. What did you expect?

Rain: Hi mister! Hi guys!

Kirito: Nice to see you here, Rain.

In those days before, Rain already met them all so they're Rain's friends too. After the gang greetings and have a small conversation, there are five people just teleported here. Of course I know who they are, well, one of them anyway. Yes, the strongest guild with the strongest player, Heathcliff.

Heathcliff: Corridor:Open!

He opened the corridor. All of us walked through it and in front of us now is the big door to the boss room.

Heathcliff: Are you ready? The Knights of the Blood Oath will hold off the boss attack in the vanguard. While we do, I'd like the rest of you to discern its attack patterns, and be flexible with your counterattacks. It will be a difficult battle, but I have faith that we can prevail. For our day of liberation!

Everyone then cheers.

Shin: Make sure to stand behind me, ok?

Kenshi: And why is that?

Shin: Oh you know. You mostly can't do anything without me so yeah.

Kenshi: Really? You forgot who was protecting you before, huh?

Shin: Of course I remember. I was talking about in this game you know.

Kenshi: ... Fair point.

Kirito: Don't die.

Rain: Not planning to.

Klein: Same to you.

Agil: I'm gonna make a fortune off today's drops. I have no intention of dying.

Heathcliff: Attack!

We burst into the room. To our surprise, there is nothing here, or rather, the boss isn't here.

I already played lots of game like this before, mostly Dark Souls series, so I know how is this works. If the boss isn't here, it would be either on our sides or up and down. The boss isn't hiding underneath us because I don't see any holes on the ground, and this is a 3D game so I don't think it would be at our left or right side, which could mean only one thing...

The boss... is on top of us.

Kenshi: Above us!

Everyone looked up.
