After successfully exiting the battle group, Kirito used his experience as a beta player to predict the actions of the boss, and from time to time to give instructions to the players who are fighting the boss, which gave players a lot of help, and even many players with flexible movements were able to block With the continuous rotation of the player team, the boss's HP decreased steadily.

Finally, after nearly 10 minutes, with the efforts of the players, the boss's HP finally reached its limit.

"Everyone, go all out!"

Li wanted to join the war group first. UNLEASH THE FINAL ATTACK ON THE BOSS.

A large number of players surrounded the boss, and the boss made a wide range of attack skills "Spin Car". However, before he could unleash his skill, the players' blades had already hit him.

As the last trace of the boss's HP was taken away, the kobold lord Ilfang's movements came to an abrupt halt. The burly body also shattered into pieces of light, dissipating into the air.

"Yay—"

The players cheered, and the cheers and shouts almost broke through the roof of the boss's room.

The victims of Ayngrant, who had been suppressed for too long, finally ushered in their first victory.

Many emotional players even cried with joy.

At this time, in the cheering crowd, Li Xiang was silent looking at the system pop-up window in front of him.

In front of him, in addition to the system panel - Congratulation - that all players who participate in the boss strategy and succeed in the game will have, there is another slightly smaller pop-up window that shows that he has been rewarded with the boss's final blow.

Kirito and Asuna found Li Xiang who was out of place in the chaotic crowd, and looking at Li Xiang's indescribable expression, Kirito wondered:

"Saber, we won, why do you still have a sullen expression?"

Asuna also looked puzzled: "Yes, Saber-chan, is something going on?" ”

"This ...... I just got the final blow from the boss......"

Lee wanted to swallow and vomit.

"I thought something bad was going on! It turns out that because of this, the final blow of the boss was originally returned to the player who was lucky enough to get it. There's nothing to feel guilty about about this. Otherwise, I took so much LA during the previous internal test, didn't I die of guilt a long time ago? And in the previous boss fights, Saber's contribution was obvious to everyone. Everyone will be happy for you! ”

Kirito looked helpless. Asuna smiled kindly as well.

Li wanted to speak again and again, and finally could only say one sentence:

"You don't understand, my reward gear ......"

"Wait a minute!"

There was a voice from the crowd that didn't seem to carry much kindness.

The person who spoke out was the Tooth King, and I saw him stand in front of Kirito, Asuna, and Li Xiang, who were standing on the edge of the celebration crowd at this time.

The Tooth King said with a look of anger: "I have something to ask the three of you." ”

Sure enough, it came. Li Xiang thought to himself.

Due to Diabelu's death, the Tooth King and Diabelu's friends were not fully immersed in the joy of successfully defeating the boss. Judging from the plot of Sword Art Online that Li Xiang had seen, despite Li Xiang's intervention, it was still very likely that the Tooth King would question them after the boss battle was over.

However, this was all expected by him.

The corners of Li Xiang's mouth rose slightly, bringing out a confident smile.

Kirito's tone was guarded: "What's the problem?" ”

The Tooth King's face turned to Kirito and asked, "Why did you want to save Diabelu when he saw death?" ”

This question made Kirito not know how to react for a while, and he was stunned on the spot.

Obviously, among the players around, except for Li Xiang, who has already read the "script", no one understands the meaning of the words of the tooth king.

Of course, this situation is also intentional on the part of the tooth king, and his series of actions just now are to attract everyone's attention to himself, so as to pave the way for his next speech.

"That's right, in the process of the boss battle just now, you repeatedly predicted the boss attack track, and every prediction was correct. Your performance shows that you are able to predict the boss's attack, and you know the boss's attack method, but you didn't inform Diabelu in advance, which led to Diabelu's death. I have every reason to suspect that you did it on purpose. Isn't it, closed beta player Kirito? ”

At this moment, the Tooth King finally stabbed his sharpest sword.

After listening to the words of the Tooth King, there was a sudden burst of noisy whispers in the crowd. Statements such as "No", "Sure enough, closed beta players can't be trusted" also kept appearing.

This is a fierce attack on Kirito and a special group of closed beta players.

Since the beginning of the game, there has been a conflict between closed beta players and general players. Although in this death game dominated by Kizuhiko Kayaba, all 10,000 players are victims. But people are so strange, in the face of external contradictions that cannot be solved temporarily, the first thing that many people think of is not to solve the problem, but to transfer the contradiction through various means.

Closed beta players have more experience and more information than the average player. It has also caused dissatisfaction among ordinary players.

The idea of the tooth king is also the radical embodiment of this dissatisfaction. Although there is no substantial evidence for his questioning, he does not care about the facts. As long as this question is raised, there will be players who are on the same side as him to become suspicious of the closed beta player group. It even used this as a fuse to trigger a split between the two groups.

Between the closed beta players and the general players, it seems that the closed beta players have an advantage, but the ratio of the number of people between the two is 9:1, which is actually a great disadvantage for the closed beta players.

If this situation is allowed to develop, it is foreseeable that in the future, there may be discriminatory behaviors such as the stores opened by ordinary players not being open to closed beta players, and closed beta players will involuntarily huddle together under discrimination, and they will also cherish the information and experience they have.

Once such an atmosphere is formed, it will definitely be greatly detrimental to the progress of the game.

In the original book, in the face of the dangerous situation caused by the Tooth King, intentionally or unintentionally, Kirito's approach is to take all the players' emotions towards the closed beta player group on himself. Shaping only a small number of "bad guys" like yourself is the object that the average player should spurn.

However, since he has already come, in order to collect the power of faith and the ultimate goal of the origin of the world, such a showy "good thing" is of course to come by himself.

Seeing that Kirito already had a resolute expression on his face, Li Xiang immediately said loudly:

"Wait a minute, I have something to say about this."

This is the first step to completing the task, and the performance must be flawless.

Li Xiang thought to himself, but his face had a solemn look of justice and Ling Ran.
