Before coming to this world, Rozen had never trained or fought in close combat.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his physical condition didn't allow it.
Moreover, Rozen admitted that he didn't have much time to spend on close combat, let alone training his body. In this regard, Rozen was absolutely lazy. Therefore, until he came to this world, entered the virtual reality, and obtained a body no different from other players, Rozen finally came into contact with this kind of combat.
The Man-Eating Plant hissed, raised its two vines high, and rushed toward Rozen's direction.
Rozen stared at the opponent calmly, and the information about the small Man-Eating Plant appeared in his mind.
The Man-Eating Plant only had two attack modes.
One was to use the vines that turned into short swords to slash and stab.
The other was to spray corrosive liquid from its mouth.
Its ability was almost focused on attack, but its defense was quite weak.
For this type of monster, as long as it wasn't hit, it could kill a lot of them in a short period of time and earn a lot of experience.
The reason why Rozen chose to come here was to compete for resources, the other reason was to complete the high-performance one-handed sword quest, and the other reason was related to this aspect.
Although in this world, because there was no mana, Rozen couldn't use any magic, and he could only rely on the virtual body derived from the game character, but his consciousness was still Rozen's own.
In other words …
"As long as you can see through the attack mode, you're just a pawn in the game, not a monster."
After leaving such provocative words, Rozen moved.
Before the Man-Eating Plant raised its vines high and was ready to attack, it had already moved.
However, Rozen didn't move with his body, but with his mouth.
"Go! Rainbow Butterfly! "
Rozen gave an order to his tamed monster.
"Woo!"
The Rainbow Butterfly immediately floated out.
The Swallowtail Butterfly, which was level 1 like Rozen, had a pitiful amount of hp, and a casual attack from the Man-Eater Grass would kill it. However, at that moment, the Swallowtail Butterfly bravely flew above the Man-Eater Grass.
"Woo! Goo! "
The Rainbow Butterfly let out a melodious cry and began to dance gracefully.
To be more specific, it was flying above the heads of the man-eating plants while sprinkling sparkling powder.
When the phosphorus powder came into contact with the Man-Eating Grass, it actually caused some changes.
"…!?"
The Man-Eating Grass stiffened and suddenly stopped moving. It even fell to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the box of the Piranha Plant's hp bar flashed with a special effect that looked like an electric shock.
That was the most terrifying debuff in SAO — Paralysis.
The Rainbow Butterfly was a Tamed Monster. Although its direct combat power wasn't high, it could sprinkle powder with various effects.
Some of the powders could inflict debuffs on enemies, some could heal itself and its master, and some even had magical effects. Unfortunately, players had only reached the 10th floor during the closed beta, and the highest level player was only around level 20. This was why Rozen was unable to unlock more of the Rainbow Butterfly's abilities.
A Level 1 Rainbow Butterfly could only use one special ability.
Paralysis Powder.
A special ability that could paralyze the target for a certain period of time depending on the level of the user and the enemy.
If the target was a Level 3 Piranha Plant, the paralysis duration was only two seconds.
But that was more than enough.
"Shhnnnnnn!"
As Rozen prepared himself, the light of Sword Skill shone on the Bronze Sword in Rozen's hand.
The bronze longsword emitted a dim light that illuminated the surrounding darkness.
At that moment, Rozen's imaginary body moved on its own.
The Sword Skill's unique system support allowed the players to completely hand over their bodies to the system after they successfully used the Sword Skill. They could then use the Sword Skill that was set to hit the enemy with a blow that was far more powerful than normal attacks.
However, Rozen didn't hand over everything to the system after successfully using Sword Skill.
While paying attention not to resist the system's assistance, Rozen adjusted the angle of his slash. At the same time, he stomped his foot on the ground and rushed forward. His arm that was holding the sword also increased its strength and speed in coordination with the system's assistance.
That was a skill that ordinary Players would never have.
Although SAO's Sword Skill System could help Players to use Sword Skill, it was only a help.
If Players could cooperate with the movement of Sword Skill to reduce their body's resistance to the system's assistance, they could also optimize the movement and angle of their attack to further reduce unnecessary movements. Players could even increase their sprinting speed by kicking and swinging their arms to increase their attack speed. Not only would the speed of Sword Skill become faster, but the attack would also become heavier due to the acceleration and the Player's own strength, increasing the power of Sword Skill to the maximum.
In other words, it was one thing to successfully use Sword Skill, but it was another matter whether the Sword Skill was in perfect condition or not.
SAO's Sword Skill System could only help Sword Skill to be successfully used, but whether the Sword Skill could be used to its limit depended on the Player's own skill.
Although Rozen's physical condition was poor in the real world, his awareness and reaction speed were enough to keep up with the Servant's battle, and he was a veritable game master.
Therefore, in the game world, without the physical limitations, Rozen could use high-intensity Sword Skill.
This was discovered during the closed beta, and in order to master it, Rozen spent a full 14 days practicing.
By the way, Kirito also discovered this skill, and it took him nearly ten days to master it. It could be seen that even if Rozen's awareness and reaction speed were high, Kirito was still better than Rozen in terms of body control and combat.
Under such circumstances, Rozen used the basic One-Handed Sword Skill, Oblique Slash.
"Swish …!"
The bronze One-Handed Sword suddenly cut through the air at an amazing speed, and like a crescent moon, it fell heavily on the Man-Eater Plant.
"Puff!"
Amidst the tearing sound, the sword cut into the monster's body, leaving a wound on its body, and the red glow representing blood spilled out.
"Ouch …!"
The Man-eater Grass immediately let out a cry of pain, and its hp bar dropped sharply. It actually dropped by more than half in one go, reaching the yellow zone and approaching the red zone.
"Ouch!"
The Man-Eater Plant was suddenly angry and desperately wanted to launch a counterattack.
Unfortunately …
"Fuck, there's still one more second?"
Under Rozen's leisurely voice, after a while, the effect of the One-Handed Sword Skill lit up again.
"Puff!"
The remaining hp of the Man-Eater Plant turned completely red, and then returned to zero.
The Small Man-Eater Plant's huge body was suddenly frozen blue.
"Bang!"
In the next second, the monster's body turned into polygonal fragments and exploded.
This was Rozen's way of fighting in this world.
