When switching states at this time, Yuris naturally has his own ideas.

First of all, although its state switching is obvious, in other words, the only way to observe its state switching is with the naked eye. But now, it is in a state of being crazily surrounded by four phantom sword dances.

In such a state, not to mention distinguishing whether the red or yellow light emitted around its body is a big problem. Whether or not it can see its body clearly is a big problem. The elements in the surrounding environment are in an extremely chaotic state.

.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the elementalist to discover its state switch! Even if she guessed that she would switch states, she would never dare to bet her name on it.

If she hadn't switched, the reflected flames would instantly devour her life.

And when she reacted, these four humans had been killed by her attack. And without these four humans, other humans would definitely die!

This is its last chance.

It's not that Yuris didn't remember Silica who had just delayed it, but the cooperation between the four sword spirits and her was too close. It had no way to do anything, and no time to observe, Silica was jumping

Where did you go after you got up?

In fact, Silica didn't go anywhere. Instead, she stayed in the air, hiding her breath and observing.

Yes, just like when judging Yuris' ability.

As for how to stay in the air, this problem is not difficult to solve. Rather, only Silica and Bina can do this.

After Bina traveled to the continent of Arad with Silica, she was reborn as a Winged Dragon. Therefore, its physical quality is completely different from that in the game. It basically has everything a dragon should have.

For example...the super physical fitness of the Dragon Clan.

The growth period of the dragon clan is extremely long. According to the age of the dragon clan, Bina at this time can only be regarded as a baby who has just turned one month old. However, like Silica, it comes from the Sword Art Online plane, and it is also in the game.

Coming through time.

To a certain extent, Pina is actually the same type of existence as Kayaba Akihiko. So of course, Pina also has a level system for players. Or it can be said to be a pet level system.

I believe many people have already realized what this symbolizes.

The level system shortens the dragon's long growth period to the limit. Although the experience it gains cannot be compared with players, the experience required to upgrade to a level is dozens of times that of players.

However, this is definitely a bloody gain for the Dragon Clan.

Although she and Silica have been adventuring until now, Bina's level is only level 10. But for the Winged Dragon race, level 10 is already considered the dividing line.

To use a human metaphor, it is the difference between crawling and walking, and a toddler and a child.

At this time, although Bina is not yet able to become a mount and carry many people in flight, it is really unrealistic given its current size. However, if there is only the petite Silica, there will still be no problem.

Silica, who jumped into the air through an air jump, was holding the flying Bina with one hand to observe Yuris.

Don't underestimate the tactical prowess of top players, let alone these players who were designated by Held as the brave team.

Without this cooperation, how could it be possible to complete the mission of defeating the apostles?

"Everyone!"

Just by shouting these two words, everyone had already reacted. Asuna and the four of them resisted the backlash and forcibly interrupted their skills, using blocks to block the rebounding sword energy.

Lan, on the other hand, poured magic power into the staff and tapped it out gently.

Dual Casting: Strengthen·Double Flame Blast!

"boom!!!!!!!"

The pillar of fire soaring into the sky seemed to disperse all the dark clouds and the pattering purple rain, filling the pale faces of the members of the expedition team with blood.

Yuris' body wrapped with ghosts also slowly dissolved and disappeared in this pillar of fire.

"I completely lost...but I am satisfied..."

In this battle, it has used its full strength. Therefore, there is nothing to complain about if it loses.

The loser, please exit here.

The pillar of fire slowly disappeared, and a sword hilt made entirely of bones fell onto the extremely dry and hard ground burned by the flames.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

After the four people who released Phantom Sword Dance saw Yuris completely dead, except for Asuna who could barely stand, the remaining three people all knelt down on one knee and supported themselves with their weapons.

"Ahem...fortunately Xiao Zhi is not here."

In order to take care of the injured members, after discussion, Asuna and others decided to let several members escort the members who were too seriously injured and could no longer fight before returning. And Leafa was one of the members.

That's why Leafa was nowhere to be seen in this battle.

At this time, Kirito was thankful for this incident. Even in the subsequent battle against Derich, he did not want Leafa to participate.

The cadres under Di Ruiji are so terrifying, so how terrifying will Di Ruiji himself be?

In their opinion, Duke Yuris's strength is only level 45 to level 50. Normally, they can deal with it easily.

However, the reality is this is the tragic situation.

Of course, there are reasons for the opponent's unruly sneak attacks, weird abilities, and the strategy of trading injuries for lives in order to reduce damage. But these are not excuses.

Everyone has witnessed the power of Uris. Without the sacrifices of other members, Silica would have been hard-pressed to discover the flaws in his opponent's abilities in such a short period of time.

After the double blow from Scarrats and Yuris, even Asuna, who was determined, felt a little shaken.

Can the seven of them really defeat Di Ruiji?

Even if she knew that Di Ruiji's real idea was to fake his death, who could really trust someone he had never met before? Not to mention that the other person was not an apostle on the same ladder as her in terms of power and life level.

.

Uneasiness began to flow into my heart.

Can I and others really defeat Di Ruiji? If they really win, do I really want to save Di Ruiji's life? Ajialu, was she deceived by Di Ruiji?

Even Asuna began to doubt it, let alone Kirito and the others.

Putting the finished bottles of healing potion aside, everyone found a piece of rag or wooden board to put on, and then sat on the ground.

Why not just sit down?

Don’t forget, this place is much closer to Derich than the entrance to the village. The soles of some members of the expedition team have completely disappeared. If it weren’t for Held’s protection, the layer of flesh on the soles of their feet would have melted away by now.

.

Therefore, if you just sit down, it will be very awkward when you stand up.

Even a man in his 30s or 40s doesn't want wind to come out of his crotch. What's more, if you don't pay attention, it may not only be wind coming out of your crotch, but also the possibility of a bird walking in the moonlight.

So no matter how tired they were, the members of the expedition team would put something under them.

Just as Asuna and others sat down to rest, the leaders of other adventure groups came towards her.

"Captain Asuna."

"Ah, Captain Dick, Captain Doron, Captain Beku..."

Raising her head and looking at the other captains who were all bandaged and seriously injured, Asuna forced a smile: "What's wrong?"

"...Captain Asuna."

After several captains looked at each other, the eldest Captain Dick finally spoke.

"Captain Asuna, we are ready to call it quits."

"..."

Hearing these words, before Asuna had time to react, Klein stood up directly beside him. His eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.

"Hey! What do you mean!?"

"...I'm very sorry."

Captain Dick said calmly: "According to the plan, the rest of us should try our best to let you conserve your physical strength and condition to face the apostles. But we overestimate ourselves."

"Without your help in these two battles, our personnel losses may have doubled again."

"In that case!"

"It is precisely because of this that we unanimously decided to retreat now." Dick emphasized: "Because we will not be able to help in any way."

"..."

Klein was immediately speechless.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

When facing a monster of the level of Yuris, other members of the expedition team can no longer help. Any random attacks will only cause more casualties.

This is not a question of whether you want to do it or not, but a question of whether you can do it.

What they can't help with is that they can't help, and they are overly motivated but unable to do anything. All they can do is not to die in vain and not to delay others.

Just like this time, if Asuna and others were not worried about them, there would be no need to use such a radical strategy of exchanging injuries for lives. Although no one said it, everyone knew it in their hearts.

"We will give all the remaining resources to you, Captain Asuna, and half of all harvest this time will also belong to the Flash Adventure Group."

Dick did not mention the hilt of the sword that Juris just dropped, because there was no need to divide it at all. Now, he is just compensating in his own way.

No matter what the reason is, what they are doing now is evading responsibility and retreating. To put it more seriously, it is betrayal and desertion.
To be continued...
