Chapter Twenty-Seven: Heroes Made EX

The kobold lord's massive body leaped from the ground, and its incredible bouncing force caused it to leap two meters away. The kobold lord twisted his body in the air and gathered his strength, and the crimson light was like blood, condensing on the surface of its body, and then slamming into the ground at an even faster speed.

The moment the kobold lord fell to the ground, the wild sword in his hand circled around at a storm-like speed, and a circle of crimson blades formed, like a blood-red full moon.

Exclusive to the Wild Tai Knife, Wide-area Attack Sword Technique - "Spin Car"

It's an AOE skill, but it has amazing power and damage. With just one hit, Diabelu and the players surrounding the boss have less than enough HP left.

What's even more deadly is that the effect of "Spin Car" makes all the players who are attacked fall into a state of dizziness, and the yellow spiral light effect on their heads means that these players are temporarily unable to control their actions.

Under normal circumstances, when a player fighting a monster in close combat enters a stunned state, the defenders who were originally on standby must immediately cut into the battlefield and take the damage in place of their teammates who are unable to defend against monster attacks due to the stunned state.

However, at this moment, no one was able to react, and during the previous discussion, it was not expected that after the boss entered the last blood bar, it was not a scimitar that was pulled out, but a wild knife. Especially now, due to the fact that the leader Diabelu was too far ahead before. Makes the original command core exposed to the boss's attack range.

Players who have become accustomed to following Diabello's command are a little helpless after Diabelu temporarily enters a state of control.

However, the boss will not miss this opportunity, and it will target the Diabelu that is in front of it and closest to it at this time.

"Woo~~~"

The kobold roared, gripped the Nota knife in both hands, and unleashed a slash from a low angle close to the ground. Diabelu was knocked flying by the effect of his sword skills and floated in the air.

Sword Skill "Floating Boat", Effect: Deal a small amount of damage to a single target and knock the target into the air.

The kobold opened his large, hideous mouth, as if he was laughing.

The damage of "Floating Boat" is not high, but it can limit the opponent's actions for a short time, and the real killer feature is the attack skill after "Floating Boat".

If it's an alpha player who has already had experience dealing with the use of wild sword monsters, you should be able to judge the skill corresponding to the boss's current stance.

Notai Knife Triple Strike - "Scarlet Fan"

This is an attack skill with a huge output, and it has more powerful lethality in the hands of boss-level monsters, and it is certain that Diabelu, who has less than half of his blood left, will be absolutely unstoppable if he does not use defensive skills or get rescued. However, at this moment, even the players who were closest to Diabelu had lost their best opportunity in the previous period.

The first two up and down slashes of "Scarlet Fan" accurately hit Diabelu's body, and the flickering pale golden light indicated that the attacks just now were all focused blows to attack the weak point.

Diabelu's blood was like a candle in the wind, with only a trace of blood red remaining. The boss pauses slightly for a moment, unleashing the final long knife stab.

The last trace of Knight Diabelu's HP was finally zero.

"Diabelu !!"

The Tooth King roared bitterly.

Hardly anyone could have predicted that the first victim of the Raiders team in a boss battle would be the leader of the team.

The wolf-like beak of the kobold lord who has completed the kill splits to the sides, as if mocking the player's powerlessness.

Diabellu's body flew out of the air and landed not far in front of Kirito in an upside-down manner.

This was the first time Kirito had seen Diabelu's eyes from such a close distance of one meter, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

He knew the player.

Although he is unrecognizable because his name and appearance are completely different, he should have met him in the closed beta before, and may even have spoken to him. Diabel is indeed a closed beta player. And concealed his past identity and fought all the way to today. He was able to make so many companions despite concealing his identity, and even organized a team of players to challenge the floor boss, he must have been under tremendous pressure and experienced many inner struggles.

The other party recognized Kirito with different looks early on as the player of the same name who captured the demon king LA many times during the closed beta period. So he thought that Kirito might have the same intention this time. The rare items dropped from the Floor Demon King are the only high-performance items that can greatly increase combat power. Now that SAO has become a game of death, combat power means the power to survive. In order to survive in this world in the future - not to fight and survive alone, but to survive as a team leader who leads players to defeat one level boss after another, and one day defeat this damn game - Diabel will do whatever it takes to obtain the rare equipment dropped by Irvangu......

Diabelu looked at Kirito with the last of his time and strength, his slightly blue pupils shimmering with pure light, his trembling lips squirming slightly, and the words in his mouth:

“…… I'm sorry, Mr. Kirito...... But please, you must bring down ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Diabelu's body turned into scattered pieces and disappeared into the air.

At this time, the strategy team is in an unprecedented crisis, the boss's intelligence has problems, and the reliable leader and commander Diabelu has died unexpectedly. The disheartened players even had a brief moment of distraction.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of errors in intelligence and serious accidents such as the death of the leader, retreat is the best option. But in Al Grant, which is no longer a game, it would be tantamount to giving up on players who had just been hit by the boss and were still in a stunned state, and while they recovered from the stunned state, enough kobold lords to kill most of them with a furious slash.

And, once retreating, the thousands of players who remain on the first level of the game will definitely fall into an abyssal of despair in the face of such a major defeat.

Once the players lose motivation due to desperation, there is no chance of victory in this death game.

However, the kobold lord had no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates. Once again, the Notai Sword in its hand glowed with sword power and slashed towards another player near it.

At this moment, a bright blue figure cut into the battlefield like a whirlwind.

"Drink!"

The blonde girl has a two-handed sword in her hand with a light blue effect light, and hits the blade of the Notai sword in the boss's hand from the side.

The two-handed sword defense sword technique "Cut Off" has the effect of interrupting the sword technique that the enemy is using by attacking the side of the enemy's weapon.

Due to the extremely fast swing speed of the sword when using the sword technique, this move requires extremely high anticipation and reflexes from the player, and it is extremely difficult for even skilled two-handed sword players to master this move.

The girl's "Cut-Down" interrupts the boss's attack, and also indirectly saves the life of the player who was targeted by the boss.

The empty boss room, the kobold lord's angry roar, and the girl's crisp and discerning screams echoed throughout the room.

"I'll drag the boss first, everyone will retreat for the time being and regroup!"
