As early as yesterday in the strategy meeting, Rozen said this to all the players when they condemned the beta testers.
"Compared to players who don't know anything, players who think they know everything, but in the end, something completely different happens at a certain moment. That is the real danger."
This was the real reason why most of the beta testers died in the past month.
They thought that they could safely and effectively gain benefits from the closed beta period and become stronger, but they didn't expect that there would be a certain degree of change compared to the closed beta period.
And these changes were fatal.
That was why most of the beta testers died in the game as if they stepped into a trap.
And now, Diabel stepped into such a trap.
During the closed beta period, when the last hp bar of Cynocephalus Lord Irfang entered the red zone, he would abandon his bone axe and shield and use a crooked sword instead. Not only would his attack mode completely change, but all his sword skills would also become crooked sword skills.
But after the official launch, this setting of Cynocephalus Lord Irfang also changed. After abandoning his bone axe and shield, he would no longer use a crooked sword, but a katana.
It was a weapon that belonged to monsters.
During the closed beta period, this weapon was only used by monsters on the 10th floor.
It was a special weapon used by the humanoid warrior monster that was wrapped in red armor. For the beta testers who reached the 10th floor, it was the strongest enemy.
Of course, no one among the players had the skill to use this special weapon.
Therefore, during the closed beta period, the players were caught in a difficult situation when faced with the unprecedented sword skills of this special weapon. In the end, they were stopped at the 10th Floor, and they didn't even get to see the Floor Boss.
Now, the second weapon of the 1st floor boss was changed from a normal crooked sword to a katana. What would happen in the end?
The answer was revealed in the next second.
"Gurururaahhhhhh!"
Cynocephalus Lord Irfang roared, and all the aggro was fixed on Diabel.
"Bam!"
The huge Cynocephalus Lord stomped on the ground and shot forward.
That speed was many times faster than when he used the bone axe and shield.
"What …!?"
Diavel noticed the abnormality and stopped walking with a shocked expression.
However, it was already too late for him to react at this moment.
The Floor Boss charged toward Diabel like a cannonball.
Clang!
The Odachi in his hands flashed with the effect of Sword Skill while slashing at Diabel from the bottom up with a trajectory that almost scraped the floor.
That was the Odachi's Sword Skill, Floating Boat.
Like an arc with a faint red light, the Odachi heavily struck Diabel's body.
Clang!
Amidst the sound of collision, the odachi struck a shield.
In the nick of time, Diabel still showed the qualities of a top player. He subconsciously raised the round shield equipped on his left hand and blocked the sword skill.
However, if a Player had reached the 10th Floor during the closed beta and confronted the humanoid warrior monster there, they would know that the terrifying thing about this Sword Skill named Floating Boat was not its attack power, but its ability to send the Player flying in the air and make them lose their balance. Even if the Player couldn't use Sword Skill, they couldn't adjust their posture, and they couldn't defend against the next attack.
Diabel was sent flying and floated in the air.
And during this period, the stun time of Irfang's Sword Skill had passed.
"Clang!"
The Odachi's blade was once again surrounded by a red light.
That's right.
Floating Boat was just the beginning of Odachi's combo.
If he was hit by this attack, he would be greeted with a three-hit combo — Crimson Fan, which was a combo that even the naked eye couldn't capture.
During the closed beta, all players who were hit by this combo would lose half of their hp without exception, and their hp bar would turn yellow.
And if the Player's hp had been reduced by more than half, or if they triggered Critical Strike, the result was obvious.
"Grrr!"
Cynocephalus Lord roared and launched a Sword Skill, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Diabel who was floating in the air.
Diabel couldn't dodge at all. He could only stare at this scene with his eyes wide open.
The shadow of death struck the knight's heart.
At that moment …
"Haaaaaaaah!"
A low and deep roar rang out.
The One-handed Swordsman wielding Anneal Sword + 6 dashed toward Ilfang, who was preparing to use Sword Skill. At the same time, Ilfang was ready to use Oblique Slash, which left a long trail of Sword Skill light behind as it slashed toward the Floor Boss.
"Clang!"
A clear clashing sound rang out, and the Kobold Lord's sword skill that it was about to unleash was stopped in its tracks.
Kirito's timely Sword Skill hit Cynocephalus Lord's Odachi and deflected it.
Thanks to this, Irfang's Sword Skill was canceled.
Because the prerequisite for launching a Sword Skill was to make the corresponding preparatory move, Kirito managed to nullify Diabel's Odachi's Sword Skill by deflecting his opponent's weapon.
This amazing technique caused the Players to be shocked.
"Roar!"
Irfang was completely enraged, and he turned his hatred to Kirito and rushed toward Kirito.
Diabel, on the other hand, fell from the air and fell to the ground.
The heavy landing caused Diabel's hp to drop by a large amount.
"Woo …"
Diabel let out a bitter cry.
"Diabel!"
"Mr. Diabel!"
A group of ordinary Players, led by King Of Ya, rushed to Diabel's side and helped him up.
"Are you okay? Diabel? "
King Of Ya asked.
"I … I'm fine …"
Diabel seemed to still have some lingering fear, but he shook his head at everyone.
But …
"You didn't forget that the reason you're fine is because someone saved you, right?"
Rozen came in front of Diabel and looked at him.
There was a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Looking at Rozen like this, Diabel knew.
His wishful thinking has been seen through.
However, Rozen didn't want to pursue Diabel's mistake right now.
"Please give us an explanation after we finish off the boss."
Leaving such words, Rozen ignored Diabel's silence and the players' confusion and rushed toward the Floor Boss.
At this time, Irfang and Kirito were engaged in a fierce battle.
Facing the Odachi coming from the front, Kirito was just about to defend, but a one-handed sword that was exactly the same as the one he was using came from the side.
"Clang!"
The Odachi's slash was bounced off by the one-handed sword.
"Huh …!?"
Irfang's figure was also pushed back.
Rozen came to Kirito's side.
"Rozen!"
Kirito showed a surprised expression.
Seeing this, Rozen just smiled.
The two brothers' eyes met and immediately understood each other's thoughts.
So …
"Let's teach the players a lesson! Kirito! "
"Ah!"
The two brothers raised their swords at the same time.
