"Only one team can face Margit the Fell Omen, but before that, we need to pass through the Storm Gate and Stormhill. The other three teams must continuously intercept the enemies. And after the first team is wiped out, the second team needs to take its place."
Kiriko's expression was grave. Asuna knew why.
Because during the closed beta, Margit the Fell Omen had only been defeated by the players when they were down to nearly their last team.
But in the current open beta, once rotations began, it meant someone up ahead had already died.
Died for real.
"Alright, let's move out!"
After distributing the equipment, Diabel opened the instance.
"Good luck, everyone!"
Argo and the others waved to them from behind, then were gradually swallowed by the mist.
That meant Asuna and the others had entered the instance.
"Asuna, you brought the blessing, right?" Kiriko asked quietly.
"I brought it," Asuna replied in a low voice.
"Mm, good. Remember to stay with me."
"The battle's starting! Everyone, stay alert!"
Diabel shouted at that moment.
After passing through the gate, they found barricades and soldiers ahead.
The moment the soldiers saw them, they began firing.
"Tanks!"
The shield-bearing tanks moved to the front.
Thud, thud, thud—!
The tanks' shields "confiscated" the arrows.
After the first volley ended, the second team charged forward.
The first team, which Asuna was in, needed to conserve supplies and items before challenging Margit the Fell Omen.
So at a time like this, they could only let the other teams "escort" them.
There were three gates along this road, perfectly corresponding to the three teams.
After dealing with the three teams, they arrived ahead at Stormhill.
This was an ambush zone, and there were patrolling soldiers as well.
Beyond Stormhill was a long corridor.
