The next morning.
Normally, this would be the time for players to level up in the labyrinth area.
But today was different.
Not long after dawn, a total of 60 players once again gathered at Tolbana's Water Fountain Plaza.
Every one of them was equipped with the best equipment, weapons, and even the highest-grade items they could get their hands on. Every one of them seemed to be in a threatening mood.
However, the players' faces were filled with seriousness and tension, which made the square filled with a somewhat depressing atmosphere.
Under such circumstances …
"Yawn ~ ~ ~"
Rozen yawned while looking listless.
"Yo, you're all quite early."
So Rozen casually greeted the players who had gathered earlier. His sleepy face made a lot of players quite angry.
King Of Ya, who was gathered in the crowd, was speechless.
"It's clearly an important battle, but you're acting so sloppy …?"
It seems that this Hedgehog Head Swordsman still hasn't completely gotten over it.
Let alone Kibao, even Diabel could not help but smile bitterly. The rest of the players were also displeased by this turn of events.
On the contrary, the beta testers were helpless, but they weren't surprised.
"He's still the same."
Kirito didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said such words.
"Was he like this before?"
Aikir asked doubtfully.
"He's been like this since the closed beta. Every time the frontline team decides to raid the Floor Boss, he's always the last one to arrive."
Argo spread his hands and provided such information.
Hearing this, Yasna, who was standing next to Argo, said with some dissatisfaction.
"Is this really okay?"
Obviously, for this girl, Rozen's performance wasn't good at all.
But Argo only giggled.
"It can't be helped. Who told him to command others perfectly every time and take down the Floor Boss without any losses?"
Argo's words were met with Kirito's approval.
"Don't underestimate him. When the battle starts, he'll be the most focused one among all of us."
That's what Kirito said.
Hearing this, Yasna could only remain silent again.
Just like that, Rozen yawned while enduring everyone's dissatisfied and helpless gaze.
"Woo!"
Not sure if it was affected by Rozen, but the Rainbow Butterfly was also sleeping on Rozen's shoulder.
Of course, compared to the lazy Rozen, the Rainbow Butterfly's sleepy look was more adorable.
Diabel glanced at this rare Tamed Monster, then immediately withdrew his gaze and faced everyone.
"Since everyone is here, let's have a last strategy meeting before the raid begins."
With that, Diabel looked at Argo's direction.
"Ms. Argo, can you tell us what kind of monster the Floor Boss is during the closed beta, what is its attack mode, and is there anything worth paying attention to?"
Diavel asked Argo, who was a beta tester, very seriously, which attracted the attention of all the players in the room.
"… That's not a problem."
In the past, Argo would only provide information at a high price, but this time, she seemed to be prepared to pay a high price. After hesitating for a while, she decided to speak.
"But, I have to make it clear that the information I know is only from the closed beta. After the raid officially started, it will be a bit troublesome to collect information about the Floor Boss. After all, I don't dare to enter the Floor Boss' room alone, and that room was just discovered by you guys. So, I can only provide information from the closed beta, but I don't rule out that the Floor Boss has changed after the raid officially started."
After saying that, Argo carefully considered his words and began to explain.
"During the closed beta, the Floor Boss of the first floor of Aincrad is a two-meter tall Kobold."
"The Kobold's official name is" Kobold Lord – Irfang "."
"It's the lord of all the Kobolds on the first floor of the labyrinth. Like the other Kobolds, it can use sword skills. Its weapon is a one-handed bone axe, and it also has a small round leather shield. So, not only is its attack power very high, but its defense is also very high. In addition, it has a total of four HP bars. Even a six-man team of Tomahawk Users with the strongest attack power, a two-handed battle axe, would need at least half an hour to deal damage to the Boss's HP."
Argo's explanation caused the players' expressions to turn serious.
But …
"This is just the most basic information."
Argo emphasized his voice as if he was warning everyone.
"Most importantly, the Floor Boss isn't just one person. It is guarded by three 'Ruin Kobold Guards' equipped with axes and spears. Moreover, every time the Floor Boss's hp bar decreases by one, a new Kobold Guard will appear. When the Kobold Guard reaches the fourth hp bar, it will have a total of 12 Kobold Guards. So, before the Kobold Guards can accumulate, we must first defeat them. But the Floor Boss will also obstruct us from the side. If we want to defeat this Floor Boss, we need to have enough people to deal with the Kobold Guards. We can't let the number of Kobold Guards increase, or else the difficulty will increase to the limit."
This was only the first point that they needed to pay attention to.
"Also, when the Floor Boss's hp bar reaches the last red area, the Floor Boss will abandon its weapon and shield and enter a temporary state of invincibility. During this time, it will change its weapon to a curved sword, and its attack pattern will greatly change. If you can't react in time, the Floor Boss will use a new Sword Skill to deal all of your hp."
Speaking until here, Argo looked around at everyone.
"I don't need to explain what will happen, right?"
Argo's words made all the players on the spot gulp down their saliva.
Kirito and Yasna also frowned.
"This is going to be difficult." Diabel touched his chin and turned to look at Rozen, who was still yawning, and asked: "Mr. Rozen, how do you think we should fight this Floor Boss?"
Hearing Diabel's words, everyone's attention was focused on Rozen again.
"How do we fight?"
So Rozen continued to yawn, looked at Diabel, who was looking at him with a serious face, and smirked.
"Don't think too much, just fight the Floor Boss the same way."
Rozen looked at the area where the beta testers were.
"Next, I will adjust the team composition. Follow my instructions and form your own team."
