"I'm sorry, those skeleton soldiers were too strong. The players were killed without any resistance. Those who witnessed it with their own eyes must have been terrified. It wasn't easy for them to escape from death. No one dared to face it. Please don't blame them."
Walking on the road in Crimson Moon Forest, Agil said. He thought that the skeleton soldiers in Crimson Moon Forest were a threat to the players' lives and destroyed everyone's leveling environment. This was something that all the players should work together to fight against. But now, the players seemed to be pushing this matter to Tang Hao. They were worried that Tang Hao would be dissatisfied, so they couldn't help but express their thoughts.
"I can understand." Tang Hao smiled. "After all, we only have one life. People who can muster up courage in the face of death are few. Even if they run away, it's human nature."
"Thank you." Agil sighed in relief and nodded.
"What about you?" Tang Hao looked at the dark-skinned man with the giant axe on his back. "You've seen those skeleton soldiers with your own eyes, so you should know better than us how powerful they are. Yet, you still followed us. Aren't you afraid?"
"I, of course, am afraid. But I'm more afraid of not being able to return to the real world. There … my wife is still waiting for me to go back." Agil said this sentence, his eyes showing deep nostalgia.
Return to the real world …
Tang Hao was silent. According to Amethyst, this game world would become the real world sooner or later. Even if the players could survive the Bone King's attack and become a part of this world, could they really return to the original real world?
Tang Hao didn't know. He didn't want to trouble himself. He didn't ask Amethyst about this in detail. Anyway, he couldn't care less about things that were too far away. It was more important to solve the problem at hand.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, Agil shouted in a dignified tone. He picked up the giant axe and held it tightly in his hand, preparing to attack.
Tang Hao waved his hand, and everyone immediately stopped. Everyone followed Agil's gaze and saw something moving in the dense grass not far away. At the same time, there was the sound of bones rubbing against each other …
Soon, a white skeleton without any flesh and blood appeared in everyone's sight.
"Level 30!"
Among the people present, only Tang Hao, Kirito, and Asuna were above level 20. They clearly saw that the level displayed above the Skeleton Soldier's head wasn't a question mark, it was clearly Level 30. Both Kirito and Asuna were shocked.
Although this Skeleton Soldier's Health Bar was not as high as that of a Boss and was only equivalent to that of an Elite, the level suppression of nearly ten levels was not a joke. In some ways, it was even more terrifying than a Boss of the same level. After all, a five level suppression was enough to greatly debuff all the players' attributes.
In comparison, Tang Hao was much calmer. He was already mentally prepared for such a situation. He immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone, get ready. Main tank, pull the aggro. Healers … Uh, do we have healers in this game?"
Tang Hao looked back, and the group of people looked at each other.
Alright, Tang Hao understood. He did not know if there were any healers in this game, but his party definitely did not have any healers. They did not even have a traditional main tank. They were all damage dealers!
"Alright, then let's play a Wave Rush."
Asuna asked, "What's a Wave Rush?"
"You guys keep shouting 666, and I'll charge forward and finish it off. This is a Wave Rush!"
Under everyone's shocked and puzzled gaze, Tang Hao really rushed forward. In front of him, the Skeleton Soldier waved a bone sword, and its two rows of teeth clattered as it launched an attack at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao had already reached level 24 when he was on the eighth floor, but facing a Level 30 Skeleton Soldier, he was still a little weak. One Shura was not a skill that could be used at any time, so when the gust of wind hit him, Tang Hao chose to dodge.
The bone knife flew past him, and the skeleton soldier's movement paused slightly. It was obvious that it was hit by the attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Hao waved the Lou Guan Sword upwards — Half Moon Slash!
Crescent Slash wasn't an inherent skill in SAO, but Tang Hao wasn't an original character in this game either. Even after being digitized, he still had fewer restrictions compared to other players … Or it could be said that it was precisely because of digitization that he could freely use many skills as long as he increased his stats, just like how he could use One Shura.
The power of Crescent Slash was equivalent to an ordinary level 20 skill, and Tang Hao's attack was just a test. With his level and attack power, he could roughly estimate the threat of the Skeleton Soldier.
However, to Tang Hao's surprise, when the sword landed on the Skeleton Soldier's body, the Skeleton Soldier was immediately sent flying. A -1600 appeared above its head, and its long health bar dropped by half in the blink of an eye.
"Damn!"
Seeing this scene, even Tang Hao was shocked.
He had killed so many monsters and bosses in this game, but apart from One Shura, none of them dealt more than four digits damage. Usually, 200 or 300 damage was the highest he could get. A level 20 skill dealing 1600 damage? That kind of data only exists in the middle and late stages of the game!
But soon, Tang Hao understood what was going on.
Lou Guan Sword!
Lou Guan Sword was an undead weapon, and it had bonus attack on all undead creatures. Although the Skeleton Soldier wasn't a spirit, it was still an undead creature, so it was also included in the Lou Guan Sword's special attack.
Secondly, since he was digitized after entering the game world, then Lou Guanjian must have been digitized as well. After all, that was the rule of the game world. However, SAO didn't have fancy things like Mana, Mana, or Psionic Energy. Instead, it only had martial arts, which was why attributes like Special Attack weren't directly displayed.
But not displayed didn't mean it didn't exist.
And most importantly, after the digitization of Lou Guan Sword, its special attack on undead creatures was its own attribute. It didn't need Mana to activate, and as long as it slashed an undead creature, it would be 100% restrained!
In other words, the current Lou Guan Sword was the complete version!
Although the level of a weapon like Lou Guan Sword wasn't displayed, but according to the power of Lou Guan Sword that could kill ten ghosts in one strike, even if it wasn't level 100, it should be at least level 70 or 80, right? With a level 70 or 80 artifact, it was normal for him to deal 1600 damage to a level 30 Skeleton Soldier.
In other words, under normal circumstances, it should be an instant kill!
Not being able to kill the Skeleton Soldier in one strike might be due to the limitation of the data, or it might be related to his own level.
After understanding this, Tang Hao looked at the Skeleton Soldier again, and the way he looked at it was like the Huanong brothers looking at a bamboo rat … It was a complete noob!
"Hahaha! See that? This is the complete version of your teacher! "
Tang Hao laughed loudly. He didn't wait for the Skeleton Soldier to land on the ground and quickly ran over. Shua shua shua shua, he used Triple Slash, dealing damage in quick succession. As his HP fell to zero, the Skeleton Soldier didn't even have a chance to retaliate before it shattered into pieces and disappeared in the air.
At the same time, Tang Hao's experience bar skyrocketed.
