Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, Vol. 10: Five Ordeals (light novel) — Reki Kawahara

A BRAND-NEW BATTLEFIELD AWAITS! Just a week after the ferocious Squad Jam 4, Llenn and LPFM face a devastating new challenge-with SHINC at their side! In a drastic departure from GGO's usual player versus player tournaments, the latest event, The Five Ordeals, is all about fending off deadly computer-controlled enemies. That doesn't mean the competition is any less fierce, though; the squad that clears the quest the fastest will come away with loot up to their eyeballs. But when the LPFM-SHINC alliance takes to the battleground, the first thing they encounter is…a talking dog?!
