"Diavel is a beta tester."
Rozen only realized this when Argo gave him the information about Diavel.
At that time, Argo said this.
"Diavel was one of the first players to leave the town after SAO announced its Death Game mode. Even his teammates were persuaded by him to leave the town and went all the way to the labyrinth area, becoming one of the strongest players in the game. His experience and skills are quite sophisticated. Obviously, he led a large team, but he was as bold as a beta tester. From the very beginning, he went straight to the villages and towns with high level monsters, gaining exp at a very fast speed, and also completed many hidden quests and limited rare quests."
This was an anomaly in itself.
If Diavel was just one of the first players to leave the town, then it wouldn't be a big deal. It's not like most players didn't realize from the very beginning that they need to become stronger to survive in this world, so they left the Town of Beginnings a month ago.
However, even though he's leading a team, he's still as bold as a beta tester. Not only that, but he also completed a lot of Hidden Quests and Rare Quests with limited number of uses. That's not right.
"Even if he was bold, without the knowledge and intelligence of a beta tester, he wouldn't want to rush into a high-level monster area at the very beginning. Even if he's very skilled, it's not hard to imagine how high the mortality rate would be if he did that."
"It's fine if he was the only one who acted recklessly."
"However, to be able to lead a team and have the means to convince those teammates to walk out of the town together, a player with a rare leadership ability would definitely not do such a stupid thing."
That's what Rozen thought.
Not to mention, under such circumstances, the other party was one step ahead of the beta testers and got a lot of hidden quests and rare quests. That's not normal at all.
Unless …
"You were a beta tester from the very beginning."
Rozen ignored everyone's shock and said to the silent Diavel.
"You should be using a different character name after the official launch, and with your appearance restored in the Death Game mode, you've become a completely different person compared to the closed beta tester."
Taking advantage of this, Diavel, like the other beta testers, hid his identity and persuaded a group of players to form a team with him. Using the knowledge he gained during the closed beta period, he led the team all the way to the Town of Beginnings.
That's why Diavel dared to go straight to the villages and towns with high level monsters at the very beginning, and also completed many hidden quests and limited rare quests.
That's why Diavel knew Rozen and Kirito, and knew about the rumors of those two during the closed beta. After finding the Floor Boss room, he was worried that those two players would come to participate in the Floor Raid and take the LA reward, so he asked the King Of Ya to ask him to come forward and buy their weapons.
"In yesterday's Floor Raid Meeting, you didn't stop Mr. Ivory from making a strong statement against the beta testers. That's because you already know each other, right?"
Rozen said to Diavel lightly.
"As a reward, you allowed Mr. Ivory to vent his anger against the beta testers in a public place like the Floor Raid Meeting."
In other words, for his own benefit, Diavel not only concealed the fact that he was a beta tester, but also lied to the King Of Ya.
I'm afraid that the King Of Ya didn't know that Diavel was a beta tester.
If the King Of Ya knew that Diavel was a beta tester, he would never come forward on Diavel's behalf.
In front of the King Of Ya, Diavel pretended to be a "representative of the players who confronted the despicable beta testers". He even told the King Of Ya that Rozen and Kirito were beta testers, and that they were the ones who wanted to steal the LA reward. That was to incite the King Of Ya's hostility.
That's why Kibaou is willing to help Diabel and protect him in every possible way.
"Am I right? Mr. Diavel? "
Rozen stared at Diavel and said indifferently.
"If you want to deny it, then please tell everyone here how you know that Kirito is a beta tester, and how you know that both Kirito and I are good at LA?"
Of course, such questions were heard by Diavel.
However, Diabel just stayed silent, he had nothing to say.
"This is … a lie … right …?"
King Of Ya looked at Diavel in shock and disbelief.
"Diavel is a beta tester …?"
"You're kidding me …?"
"This is definitely a lie …"
Diavel's teammates and those average players were also shaken.
If Diavel were to say no, these players would definitely stand up for him.
Unfortunately, Diavel couldn't deny it.
Because he couldn't explain it, if he wasn't a beta tester, how could he explain the above question?
So …
"… The rare item dropped by the Floor Boss is the only high-performance item in this world, as long as you get it, you can greatly increase your combat power."
Diavel finally spoke.
However, it was a very bitter voice.
"In SAO, combat power is equivalent to the power of survival. In order to survive in this world in the future, and also to stand in front of the team and players, you will do anything to get the rare item dropped by the Floor Boss."
Diavel said such words.
And that's equivalent to admitting it.
He admitted what Rozen said.
"Liar …"
"This …"
Diavel's teammates and those average players all widened their eyes.
King Of Ya trembled and staggered in front of Diavel.
"Why … why did you lie to me …!"
King Of Ya roared in a hoarse voice.
"I trusted you so much! I trusted you to lead the players against the beta testers and this game! "
King Of Ya pulled out his weapon and impulsively wanted to cut Diavel.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Do you want to be a criminal!?"
The players immediately blocked Kibaou's path.
Facing all this, the beta testers led by Rozen didn't say anything.
Only Kirito asked in a low voice.
"Is it really worth it?"
Is it worth it?
Diavel couldn't answer that question.
"I betrayed everyone, not only the average players who trusted me, but also the beta testers who used to play the game with me. I'm sorry."
Now, that was the only thing left.
"That's why I said it, right?"
Diavel looked at Rozen with an illusory smile on his face.
"I'm not as good as you."
Compared to Rozen, who stood up for the sake of beta testers, Diavel, who was also a beta tester, chose the path of concealment, deception, and betrayal.
