"Gurururaahhhh —!"
The Orc Overlord's roar reverberated throughout the spacious room, turning into a series of echoes. It was especially terrifying.
"Ga!"
"Ga!"
"Ga!"
As though responding to their overlord's roar, the three fully-armored Kobold Guards let out a sharp screech and raised their halberds in the air.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!"
The Players rushed towards the monsters in groups.
The person in the lead was none other than Kirito.
"Come!"
Kirito pulled out the One-Handed Sword named Anneal Sword + 6 from his back and stared at Ilfang with a pair of eyes that were burning with the flames of battle.
"Roar!"
As if he had been provoked, Irfang let out a low roar and immediately raised the bone axe in his right hand. With a heavy stomp, he shot towards Kirito like a cannonball.
A second later, the frightening bone axe and the glowing one-handed sword clashed.
Ilfang swung the bone axe in his hand down heavily.
Kirito stabbed out with his single-handed sword.
Both of their weapons were flashing with the light of a Sword Skill.
Thus …
"Clang!"
Amidst the loud collision sound, the one-handed sword and the bone axe collided fiercely, causing the dazzling light and shadow effects and the intense collision sound to resound.
The battle against the Floor Boss of the 1st Floor of Aincrad began with such an assault, opening the prelude to the fierce battle.
At the same time, over a dozen armed and shield-wielding players charged at Kirito from behind, bellowing as they surrounded Irfang.
It was a joint force of beta testers.
With Kirito as the leader, Team Two was responsible for the damage output.
With Aikir as the leader, they were in charge of defense.
These two teams took the lead and charged forward to attack the Floor Boss that was surrounding it.
However, Irfang seemed to only target Kirito. Ignoring the players surrounding him, he raised his axe high at Kirito, who was still in a stunned state.
That was the result of the boss's aggro. It would first target the enemy that rushed in front of it, or the target that dealt the most damage to it.
Facing this scene …
"Come over here!"
Aikir roared loudly and raised a huge shield in his hand.
That was the "Tower Shield" with the highest defensive power in SAO.
This kind of shield was not only very hard, but it also had a wide defensive area. It was equivalent to the shield Matthew was holding, but it was also relatively heavy. Players who didn't have enough weight or physical strength couldn't equip it at all.
Aikir abandoned his two-handed axe and equipped the tower shield with high defensive performance just as Rozen instructed. The shield's surface flashed like a Sword Skill.
"Roar!"
Irfang's movement suddenly stagnated, as if he was angered, he turned his pair of scarlet eyes to Aikir.
That was the special skill of tanks and tanks, Intimidate. It could attract the monster's aggro and turn the monster's attention to itself.
Irfang's aggro was easily attracted and turned to Aikir. He fiercely swung his axe at Aikir, who was holding the shield high.
"Clang!"
Amidst the sounds of collision, the axe rubbed against the shield, creating intense sparks and bursting forth with terrifying power.
"Woo …"
Aikir let out a muffled groan.
Under the condition of successfully defending, the giant's hp bar was slightly reduced.
One could imagine how powerful the Floor Boss was.
But …
"It works!"
Rozen, who was at the back, suddenly smiled and immediately said loudly.
"Tanks, take turns to use Intimidate to attract aggro. Remember to keep an eye on the axe and use your shield to block it. Don't block it with your armor. DPS, aim for the stun period after the boss uses his Sword Skill. Don't use Sword Skill before the boss is stunned. You will attract too much aggro, just use normal attacks!"
Hearing Rozen's instructions, the Players of Team Two and Team Three immediately responded loudly and immediately carried out the order.
All of a sudden, Ilfang's aggro was attracted by the tanks equipped with Tower Shield using Intimidate one after another. Ilfang's back was completely exposed to the attackers, who were in charge of dealing damage, and Ilfang's aggro was attracted by Intimidate.
Under such circumstances, Ilfang's HP bar trembled slightly and changed. It was gradually decreasing.
"Isn't this decreasing speed a bit too slow?"
Argo, who was on standby next to Rozen, said with a dumbfounded expression.
"It's not slow anymore."
Rozen, on the other hand, shook his head.
Only a six-man party was responsible for dealing damage, and they deliberately controlled the damage to prevent excessive aggro transfer. If it was a two-handed axe user or a two-handed hammer user who was good at attacking, their attack power would definitely be high, but at that time, they wouldn't be able to control the damage and aggro, which would put the frontline in danger.
It was precisely because of this that Kirito tried his best to wander around the boss. He didn't dare to use Sword Skill at all, nor did he dare to attack the Floor Boss's weakness. He was worried that he would trigger Critical Strike and attract the Floor Boss's aggro.
After all, Kirito's weapon was a + 6 high-performance item.
If he didn't try his best to control the damage, of course, it wouldn't work.
As long as he could control the Floor Boss's hp, although it would decrease slowly, it was quite stable.
At the very least, before the Floor Boss's fourth hp bar reached the red zone and it changed its attack mode, there shouldn't be any accidents happening.
Even if there was an accident, the players who were equipped with long weapons were on standby, ready to go up and use Delay skills to control the Floor Boss.
Therefore, Rozen was more concerned about the situation of the three Cynocephalus Guards.
So Rozen looked over there.
In the next second, Rozen saw it.
He saw a meteor flying across the battlefield.
Shing — —!
Amidst the clear sound of a sword, a shining rapier cut through the air, turned into a ray of light, and shot towards the chest of a Cynocephalus Guard.
"Bang!"
The rapier's tip landed on the armored Cynocephalus Guard's chest, but it didn't cause the sound of metal scraping against metal. Instead, it caused a heavy collision.
"Gah …!?"
The Cynocephalus Guard was sent flying by this meteor-like strike, and it let out a sorrowful howl.
"Haaaaah!"
The rapier user named Yasna flipped the hem of her cloak and ran out at an amazing speed. While catching up with the Cynocephalus Guard that was sent flying, she once again put the rapier on her waist, and the pink Sword Skill effect appeared on the rapier. She then turned into a meteor and went straight for the Cynocephalus Guard's throat.
"Pssshhhh!"
The clear sound of flesh tearing finally sounded.
The Sword Skill called Linear Attack hit the Cynocephalus Guard's throat beautifully and penetrated it.
This was undoubtedly a weak point attack, coupled with the + 3 accuracy, Yasna successfully triggered Critical Strike, completely emptying the Cynocephalus Guard's hp bar.
"Bang!"
The first Cynocephalus Guard was killed in the first minute of the Floor Boss Raid, turned into polygonal fragments, and disappeared in place.
Meteor's rapier stood under the glittering shards, maintaining its stabbing posture. It was a beautiful sight to behold, causing many male players to stare blankly at it.
