## Event Period

9/20/2018(Thu) 06:00 ~ 9/28/2018(Fri) 05:59 (UTC)

## Tips

* This is a Consecutive Ranking - you need to have different strategies for the 1st battle and the 2nd battle.

* [The 1st battle] The Gleam Eyes appears! Watch incoming attacks carefully to parry.

* [The 2nd battle] ??? appears. This boss becomes unguarded between their powerful attacks. Try to catch them off their guard and strike back with Acceleration Skill!

* Also, though the boss is Non-elemental, Non-elemental characters can hardly deliver damage to the enemy. Win the battle without the elemental trick!

## Consecutive High Score Ranking

* In the Consecutive Ranking, you get your rank based on the total score of consecutive quests.

* In the Consecutive Ranking, for the 2nd battle, you can't use the same characters as you used in the 1st battle. Think ahead and select characters to win a high rank!

* You get your score when you clear a quest in the Ranking Event. Compete for the highest score within a group to earn ticket Scout limited characters and Skill Slot unlock materials!

## Rewards

* After the ranking event, players who did not abide by the rules will be disqualified, and the ranking positions will be finalized. Within 2 business days after the end of the event, in their Gift Box, players will receive Ranking Rewards based on their ranking positions.

* After the end of the ranking event, the ranking results will be displayed on the Extra Quest screen for a certain time period.

* You can do the Ticket Scout after the event from the ranking results screen.

## Story

**Story 1**

Asuna: Y-Yeah... But just what happened?
Klein: That’s what I wanna know... They were beatin’ us pretty bad, then suddenly decided to retreat!
Agil: Right, I saw them head back into that black void of theirs.
Sinon: Did the leader you were fighting disappear too, Kirito?
Kirito: Yeah...
Leafa: ...
Strea: You okay, Leafa?
Leafa: Y-Yeah, thanks. I managed to get out of there without dying since the fighting was interrupted.
Silica: W-Was the reason they retreated because we managed to drive them back?
Philia: No, not at all...
Rechka: Those present aside, they took out almost everyone in Spriggan territory.
???: Hey, guys!
Asuna: It’s Yuuki and the Sleeping Knights!
Yuuki: Sorry for the delay!
Asuna: Don’t worry about it. What happened?
Siune: A member of the demon army stalled us.
Kirito: Stalled you? So, not all the demons came here to Spriggan territory?
Sinon: And isn’t it odd that they had someone strong enough to stall even the Sleeping Knights?
Yuuki: Right?! It was this little demon, but she grew HUGE after eating a strawberry. She grew so strong that I could’ve sworn she was using some kinda cheat...
Asuna: A little demon... I know it’s a stretch, but could it be the same one that took down Liz?
Klein: Maybe... There was this other tiny demon who attacked us, but they were probably different, huh?
Kirito: So, did this giant demon you were fighting vanish along with the others?
Yuuki: Yeah, just like that. That’s why we were able to get over here.
Kirito: ... Hey, Sugu, let’s log out. Everyone, we’ll regroup soon. I just need to check something.
