"Boom!"
A dazzling pillar of fire swayed above Rozen and Yasna's heads, evaporating all the air in its path while emitting a temperature high enough to burn their skin. It was an unreasonable and brutal display of power.
Rozen, who was pressing Yasna down, saw the Shining Demon Eye spitting out a scorching flame towards them, causing the dazzling pillar of fire to sweep above the two of them.
"Breath …!?"
Yasna finally reacted. Seeing the flame sweeping across the space where she was a second ago, her delicate and pretty face changed.
There was no magic in this game.
However, that didn't mean that this game completely excluded magic elements.
For example, there were many items that could enhance the player's ability or play a variety of support effects. If the player received the blessing of a priest in a church in a big town, the weapon could also temporarily have a holy attribute, which could be used to attack ghost and undead monsters without a physical body. The crystal items that the players used were also rare magic elements in SAO. These were some of the manifestations of magic.
However, these elements didn't only happen to the players, but also to monsters.
That was the special skills of monsters known as "Special Abilities."
For example, the Mammoth, the Boss of the 26th Floor's Training Area, could secrete mucus from its body hair to hinder the players' movement. This was one of the special abilities of monsters.
Among the many special abilities, the most common one was the Breath Ability.
Many powerful monsters could use this special attack skill. Sometimes it could spit venom, sometimes it could spit lightning, sometimes it could spit ice, and sometimes it could spit fire. All kinds of Breath existed in this world, and because of the different attributes, they all had different threats.
The Shining Demon Eye could use Breath that was similar to fire.
Among the many Breath skills, it was known as the one with the highest attack power. There was even a certain chance that the player would be inflicted with the debuff of "Burn". Not only would the player's HP be continuously deducted, but there was also a certain chance that the player's movement would be delayed.
Originally, when the Shining Demon Eye was equipped with a large sword, both Rozen and Yasna thought that the Shining Demon Eye was like the Floor Boss Irfang, who was good at using sword skills. They didn't expect that the Shining Demon Eye could also use Breath.
"Roar!"
After the Radiant Demon Eye's attack failed, it let out a roar that shook the air. It hefted the large sword in its hand and charged forward with thunderous footsteps.
The appearance of a huge body charging in a room with limited space brought about a great sense of deterrence and shock.
"Cai Die! Hua Die! "
Rozen hugged Yasna and called for his familiar.
"Gu!"
"Wu!"
Cai Die and Hua Die immediately responded and flew out like two streams of light, arriving above the Flashing Demon Eye and sprinkling yellow powder together.
Although Paralysis Powder was only the first skill of Rainbow Butterfly, because it was the first skill, it took him a long time to hone it.
Now, both Saichou and Hanachou had fully mastered Paralysis Powder, which was one of the best debuff skills they had.
"Beep …!"
The two Rainbow Butterfly's Paralysis Skill successfully worked on the Floor Boss, and a lightning-like light flashed on the Shining Demon Eye's body.
The Shining Demon Eye's huge body suddenly froze in place and could no longer move.
However, Rozen also knew that this wouldn't buy him much time.
On this floor's mini-boss, Saichou and Hanachou's debuff only lasted for a few seconds. There was no reason that the debuff would last longer on the Floor Boss, who was known as the strongest Floor Boss on this floor.
Even if Saichou and Hanachou used their skills at the same time, the debuff effect should be stacked, but with the Floor Boss's debuff resistance, it would only last for a few seconds.
Rozen took the opportunity to say.
"Now! Let's get out of the room! "
Rozen made a prompt decision.
Although he only met the Shining Demon Eye once, Rozen already obtained a lot of information.
At least, Rozen already knew that the Floor Boss on the 74th Floor could not only use Breath Skill, but also had a two-handed greatsword. Logically speaking, the Shining Demon Eye should be able to use Two-Handed Sword Skill. In addition, the hp bar was also located next to the Shining Demon Eye, which gave Rozen a rough estimate of the Shining Demon Eye's hp. This information alone was a great harvest.
As long as the Floor Boss in front of them didn't have any hidden skills or attack mode, Rozen could directly organize a raid and gather the strength of the Clearers to defeat this monster.
Therefore, Rozen immediately made the decision to retreat.
"Okay!"
Yasna also realized that there was no time to waste, so she climbed up from the ground and rushed to the door behind her without hesitation.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Rumble …"
The door of the Floor Boss' room suddenly closed, cutting off Rozen and Yasna's escape route.
"What …!?"
Yasna was taken aback.
"… …!"
Even Rozen's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously stopped.
Logically speaking, once the door of the Floor Boss' room was opened, it would never close unless all the Players retreated.
Of course, there were exceptions to this rule.
For example, the Floor Boss of the Fourth Floor had a special ability that allowed it to generate a huge torrent of water. It was designed to fill the entire room with water at the start of the raid. Players could only use items like swimming rings or special support effects that allowed them to float on the water to attack the Boss. Otherwise, they would drown. Therefore, the door would be closed at the start of the raid to prevent water from flowing out.
But that was only an exception based on the setting.
If the door was going to close at the beginning of the Raid, it should've closed after Rozen and Asuna entered the room, instead of waiting until now to suddenly close.
Since that was the case, Rozen could only think of one possibility.
"Someone closed the door from the outside …!"
That was what happened.
And it was impossible to open the door from the inside.
In other words, Rozen and Yasna couldn't leave the room through the door.
"Yasna!" Rozen immediately shouted, "Use the Teleportation Crystal!"
Unfortunately, Asuna's trembling voice was the only response he got from her.
"No …" Yasna already had a Teleportation Crystal in her hand, and her face was pale, "The Teleportation Crystal won't work!"
In other words, the room itself was a trap.
A trap that could render the Teleportation Crystal useless.
Their escape route was blocked, and the crystal was ineffective. Rozen and Asuna had completely lost their chance to escape.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
At this time, Saichou and Hanachou's panicked voice sounded.
Rozen quickly turned his head and looked behind him.
"Boom!"
He saw that the Shining Demon Eye had recovered from its paralysis state, and it was spitting its breath at Saichou and Hanachou. The two Rainbow Butterflies panicked and were grazed by the breath, and their HP dropped by a large chunk.
"Roar!"
Then, the Shining Demon Eye roared and aimed at Rozen and Yasna.
"Whoosh!"
Under the howling of the wind, the charging demon swung the giant sword in his hand, blowing the air as he slashed at Roland.
"Tsk!"
Rozen pulled out the crystal sword from his waist.
"Clang!"
