"Shhnnnnn!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Roar!"
"Charge!"
In the spacious room, the sound of Sword Skill flashing, the sound of metal colliding, the roar of monsters, and the roar of players echoed for a long time.
When the beta testers were switched out, although the team of ordinary players managed to stop Irfang's pursuit, they were still caught off guard.
That was to be expected.
Due to the fact that the beta testers had already fought the first floor boss during the beta testing period, they were able to control Ilfang's aggro very well. Although Agil and his team were not beta testers, they were still able to perfectly play the role of a meat shield. They were only responsible for blocking the boss's attacks and did not do anything else. This allowed the beta testers to consume the boss's HP, so there was no danger to the Boss.
But the ordinary players were different.
Since this was the first time they were facing a Floor Boss, and they didn't have the experience of teaming up with so many players, compared to the veteran beta testers, the coordination between the players was a little shaky. As a result, the Floor Boss's aggro shifted several times, and a few of the DPS players who couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Floor Boss's attacks, causing chaos for a while.
If this happened during the closed beta, when the average level of the players was only 5-7, these few times of chaos would be enough to lead to the defeat of the Floor Boss.
Fortunately, due to SAO's Death Game, the Players desperately leveled up in order to survive. The average level of the Players in the top group was around level 10, which was why they were able to resist Ilfang's attack and not be defeated.
Therefore, after several close calls, the ordinary players finally grasped the rhythm of cooperation and effectively weakened the Floor Boss's hp.
Diabel looked at the situation and felt a lot more confident.
(If this goes on, it'll work …)
Diabel thought to himself.
After that, the beta testers and ordinary players also switched out several times.
As long as the Tank Team's hp was in danger, they would immediately retreat together with the damage dealer team and the obstruction team, and the other team would switch out to stop the Floor Boss.
Under such circumstances, Irfang's hp was finally emptied by three bars and reached the fourth bar.
During this period, whenever the Floor Boss's hp was emptied by one bar, three Kobold Guards would rush out and be blocked by three guerrilla teams.
As for the Kobold Guards, it didn't matter what happened.
The most important thing was the Floor Boss, "Kobold Lord – Irfang".
(It must be killed by me.)
That was Diabel's ultimate goal.
A team of beta testers was currently whittling down Ilfang's fourth hp bar.
But it didn't matter.
At this rate, when Ilfang's fourth hp bar entered the yellow zone, the party formed by the beta testers would be switched to Diavel's side.
(At that time, they would reduce the boss's hp to the red zone.)
Then, it was Diabel's turn.
(I must be the one to kill the Floor Boss.)
Diabel clenched his weapon and shield, staring at the hp of the Floor Boss, as well as the hp of the tank team led by Aikir.
When the Tank Team's hp entered the yellow zone, Diabel would immediately ask for a switch.
At that time, the normal players would go up to the Floor Boss until the Floor Boss's hp reached the red zone.
At that time, it would be Diabel's turn.
(I thought something bad would happen, but fortunately, it turned out well.)
Diabel thought to himself.
If it was the beta testers who forced the boss into a desperate situation, then Diabel would not suggest to switch the boss. That would be stealing the boss's kill.
But if it was the players who forced the boss into a desperate situation, Diavel would be able to take the boss's head in a justifiable manner.
(I will still be the winner.)
Diabel was certain of this.
However, at that moment …
"It's your turn, Saitou."
A calm voice came from beside Diabel.
That voice told Diabel what was going to happen next.
"Goo!"
Accompanied by a sweet cry, a stream of light flew toward the Floor Boss.
The main body of the flowing light was, of course, the Rainbow Butterfly, which was flapping its wings at an extremely high speed and could sprinkle phosphorescent powder with special effects.
Seeing this scene, Diabel's face finally changed. He turned his head and looked to the side.
There, Rozen, who was holding Anneal Sword + 8, gave an order.
"Paralysis Powder."
This simple sentence immediately caused the Rainbow Butterfly to let out a cry in response.
In SAO, tamed monsters could only understand a few kinds of commands, and sometimes they would even ignore the command and act on their own. However, the Rainbow Butterfly perfectly understood Rozen's command. It flew above Ilfang and sprinkled yellow phosphorescent powder on it.
"Beep …!"
The sound of an electric shock seemed to come from Irfang's body.
"Ahhh …!"
The Kobold Lord's body stiffened, and he fell to the ground with a cry.
The health bar of the Kobold Lord was surrounded by a lightning-like special effect.
Of course, that was the abnormal state of paralysis.
"Now!"
Seeing this scene, Kirito, who was surrounding the Floor Boss, was the first to react and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, use your Sword Skills!"
Hearing this, everyone in the closed beta tester army reacted.
"Ohhh …! Ohhhhhhhh …! "
With a roar, all the beta testers charged at Rozen.
Led by Kirito, the beta testers used their strongest Sword Skills to attack Irfang, who was in a paralyzed state.
The tanks led by Aikir also abandoned their shield and reequipped their two-handed tomahawk, letting the heavy attacks fall on Irfang.
Even the long-armed players roared in unison, rushed forward, and used their sword skills.
"Roar!"
After a round of bursts, Ilfang finally let out a painful groan. Its hp bar also decreased at an alarming rate, and in one breath, it had reached the yellow zone.
At this time, none of the beta testers' hp bar entered the danger zone, so it was not the time to switch.
"Roar!"
Ilfang's paralysis only lasted for a few seconds before it disappeared and he stood up.
After all, he was a Floor Boss level monster, so he was extremely resistant to abnormal states. Even the paralysis skill could only paralyze him for a few seconds. Rainbow Butterfly's Paralysis Powder was still on cooldown, so it couldn't be used immediately.
However, Rozen gave another instruction.
"Blinding Powder."
Under the simple instructions, the Rainbow Butterfly sprinkled the powder again.
This time, it wasn't yellow powder that was sprinkled down, but black powder.
The phosphorescent powder sprinkled onto Ilfang's face, causing him to feel as if his vision had gone black and he had completely lost his vision.
"Gah!"
Irfang immediately panicked and waved his weapon randomly, but he couldn't hit his target at all.
The beta testers were overjoyed, and once again used their Sword Skills to cut off a large amount of Irfang's hp.
Because of the blinding state, even if Irfang dealt a lot of damage, he still didn't know which side to target, which was also one of the weaknesses of blinding.
"Shit!"
