Chapter 576: Kill the boss
Among the more than a dozen abnormal states in the game world of SAO, the most terrifying ones are definitely "paralysis", "blinding", and "vertigo", which have a common feature, that is, they will instantly limit the player's ability to move.
This is true not only for solo players, but also for players who fight in groups, although the duration of these effects will not exceed ten seconds at most, but this effect, not only is it activated instantly, but it also does not have any means of recovery, which can be said to be very tricky.
Therefore, when the members of the front line fall into a "stunned" state, the companion must not wait for the opportunity to "switch", and directly rush into the battlefield, replacing the opponent to become the target of the monster's attack, and resist the attack that is almost a sure hit.
But now, this sudden situation makes everyone except the defeated C team not know what to do, the previous strategy was too smooth and smooth, everyone didn't have a little psychological preparation at all, the most important thing is that Diabel, as the commander, was knocked down, and the "Raiders Group" instantly became leaderless.
In the strange silence, the Kobold Lord had even recovered from the slightly longer stun he had made after performing his ultimate.
"Top up !!"
At this time, the first to speak could only be Kirito, because he was the only player who found that the boss's knife was problematic, except for Ling Ze, who had known for a long time.
And after Kirito shouted, the "two-handed axe" Achill and several other players on the front line finally reacted, and they were anxious to come forward to help, but because of the distance, it was obviously too late, and Klein and they were all out of reach.
"Woohoo!"
The "Kobold Lord" roared vigorously, and then it swung the Notai knife it held in both hands, and slashed high from the track that almost wiped the floor, this is the Nota sword skill "Floating Boat", and its preferred target is naturally the "knight" Diabel who fell in front of it.
As if being dragged by an arc with a faint red light, Diabel's body in silver metal armor floated into the air, the damage to the "knight" was actually not great, but the attack of the "kobold lord" did not stop, and the "floating boat" was just the starting style of the notai knife's continuous technique, and the more violent attack was still to come.
The blade of the "Notai Knife" is once again surrounded by blood-red special effect light, and if you are slashed by this move "floating boat", you must not do any useless struggle, you only need to shrink your body and assume a defensive posture, and strive to minimize the damage in the continuous blows, which is the most secure way to deal with it, and it is very difficult to make movements in the air.
But Diabel obviously didn't understand, he was actually quite calm, and he still didn't forget to swing his long sword in the air that was knocked out, he showed the level of being a "closed beta player", ready to use the sword skills of counterattack, and the average player was estimated to have died directly with a frightened face at this time.
However, the system did not judge his unstable movements as the starting action of the "sword technique", which is also the reason why it is best to concentrate on defense after being "floated", and the huge wild sword of the "kobold lord" attacked the "knight" holding the long sword from the front, at this time Diabel finally showed horror, and he sensed the threat of death.
"Qiang !!"
At the critical moment, Ling Ze's figure appeared, forcibly blocking the slash of the "kobold lord", first of all, the up and down combos that couldn't even be caught by the eyes, and then the "stab" after a pause, this is a triple attack technique called "Scarlet Fan", this monster is obviously also being pulled by the system when it releases the "sword technique", and it can't change its movements without authorization.
"That's what makes me excited."
Ling Ze took the triple blow of the "Kobold Lord" head-on, because if he didn't take it hard, then this move "Scarlet Fan" would inevitably hit Diabel who was floating in the air, and with Diabel's floating state, he would inevitably be hit by the monster with a "Heart Blow", and when he was in an abnormal state, the possibility of being hit with a "Heart Blow" would be greatly increased.
With less than half of the HP, being hit is almost certain death.
"Brother Ling Ze!"
At this time, Klein, Jerome, Achill and others all rushed over, and they looked at Ling Ze with shocked eyes, only to feel that this man seemed to have a layer of aura on his body, making him look like a god descending from heaven.
Just now, Ling Ze actually rushed in front of the boss at a terrifying speed, and blocked the attack that was terrifying at first glance, which made them all dumbfounded.
"Gurgling!"
Being blocked by Ling Ze's attack, the "Kobold Lord" took a step back, which was actually a manifestation of the stiffness of the "Sword Technique" attack.
Under normal circumstances, this is the opportunity to "switch" to attack, but now it is clear that no one dares to do it.
And Ling Ze is not in a hurry, he just needs to save Diabel and prevent the boss from going crazy and causing the death of the members of the "Raiders Group", although this BOSS is unexpectedly rampant, but as long as he regains his composure, it is not difficult for the reorganized "Raiders Group" to deal with it.
"Look at Diabel's situation, let's not panic, it's just a small problem, we can win."
Ling Ze instructed Klein, and at this time, the red-haired man, as if he had found the backbone, immediately regained his composure, he nodded, and looked behind him, at this time, Diabel, who had fallen behind, had been surrounded.
"We're going to stop this guy!"
Klein responded to Ling Ze, and at this time, the elite players around him had already ignited their fighting spirit again, and Ling Ze's performance inspired them.
Although they also realized that the gap between themselves and Ling Ze was quite large, as long as they united as just now, they would also have the strength to fight in the face of this boss, and these players who dared to participate in the first strategy battle did not lack courage.
"Diabel..."
Diabel, who was knocked away, fell into the back of the crowd, just near Kirito and Asuna, and the two immediately went over to check, and the surrounding players also surrounded them.
At this time, Kirito finally recognized Diabel, although he didn't recognize it before because his name and appearance were completely different, but after such a close contact, he finally saw something familiar from Diabel, he did meet Diabel, and maybe even talked.
"Diabel is really a closed beta player just like me."
Kirito immediately understood the reason for the matter, the player who paid a lot of money to buy his "Sword of Fortitude" was Diabel, and the purpose was very obvious.
Kirito was very famous during the closed beta period, and he didn't change his name now in the open beta, he is still called Kirito, Diabel will naturally recognize him, as a player who has captured the final blow of the boss many times during the closed beta, Diabel is naturally impressed by Kirito, and if Diabel wants to get the rare items dropped by the boss, then Kirito is a threat he has to pay attention to.
The rare items dropped from the floor bosses are unique high-performance items in this world, and once obtained, they can greatly increase their combat effectiveness.
Now that SA0 has become a death game, combat power is equivalent to the power of survival, and in order to continue to survive in this world in the future, Diabel is not a lonely lone player, but as a rider standing in front of the group, and he will do whatever it takes to get the rare equipment dropped from the boss.
"It's a pity that you almost succeeded."
Kirito didn't think there was anything wrong with Diabel's doing.,After all, he did it with all his might.,Play games.,It's normal to grab the boss.,It's just that the price of failure before is at most to die once.,It's okay to resurrect it back.,But the price to pay for failure now.,It's a real death.,There's no chance of resurrection and restart.。
"If it weren't for Brother Ling Ze, then no one would really be able to save him today, and then the entire strategy group might pay a huge price for casualties."
Kirito's face was serious, and he was deeply aware of the danger of the Raiders boss at this moment, and he was already responsible for a leader like Diabel.
"Thank you, Kirito."
Diabel was pulled up by Kirito, who had recovered from his vertigo and began to drink potions to recover.
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank Brother Ling Ze, it was he who saved you, if it weren't for him, you would have been taken away by the boss by now with a set of combos."
Kirito didn't take credit, so he didn't do anything in the first place.
Diabel took a deep look at Kirito, and he could see that Kirito had apparently recognized his identity, which made Diabel, who had almost lost his life a little embarrassed, instead of succeeding in the plan.
However, Diabel is a capable and ambitious man after all, and he quickly adjusted his mindset and realized the mistakes he had made.
Diabel was a little annoyed, but at the same time, he was indeed very grateful to that big brother Ling Ze, because he had seen the situation ahead, and everyone in the "strategy group" resisted the rampaging boss under the leadership of that big brother Ling Ze, and did not cause more casualties because of his mistakes.
"That's fine... That's ......."
At this time, Diabel let go of the burden in his heart, the moment everything was about to be empty just now, what he thought about most was not personal gains and losses, but whether he would cause more people to lose their lives because of his problems, these are the elite raiders among the players, if there are heavy casualties, then even if he dies, it is a great crime, and he is destined to be spurned by everyone.
"Let's go, Kirito, I know you're very strong, it's my selfish intention not to reuse you, but I hope you can ignore the past suspicions, defeating the boss is the most important thing, we must not fail, players need a shot of strength now, and the consequences of failure are unimaginable."
After recovering some health, Diabel solemnly invited Kirito, and he faced his mistake completely.
"I don't think we need it anymore."
Kirito shrugged his shoulders, and in Diabel's efforts to restore HP, the "kobold lord" was almost wiped out.
The battle in front was actually very dangerous, but because of Ling Ze's presence, there were no casualties.
Because once someone makes a mistake, once someone is in danger, Ling Ze will immediately fill in the position to resist the damage.
Obviously, everyone encountered a lot of dangers because they were not familiar with the skills of the boss, but no one was injured, just like bringing an invincible buff.
"I didn't expect... There are such strong masters in your team... I thought ......"
Diabel's words were a little helpless, in fact, he had always thought that the strongest person in Kirito's squad was Kirito himself, and in the information that Argo gave him, he didn't mention that Ling Ze's big brother was strong at all.
"You got the news from Argo, right?"
The corners of Kirito's mouth twitched, he didn't have any doubts about Argo's discipline, that guy didn't have anything to sell except for the list of closed beta players.
Of course, after being educated by Brother Ling Ze, she had one more piece of news about Brother Ling Ze that could not be sold, and Diabel didn't know that Brother Ling Ze's strength was normal.
"I thought she was reliable."
Diabel feels like he's been deceived, Kirito doesn't explain for Argo, let the guy figure it out on his own.
"Oh oh oh oh !!"
While Kirito and Diabel were talking, the "Kobold Lord" was finally defeated by the players.
Diabel, Kirito, and Asuna hurried forward, while Klein, Jerome, and Achill were cheering, while Ling Ze was standing in the crowd and being crowded.
This made Diabel's heart very sour, and in his plan, this was the treatment he should have enjoyed.
Ling Ze squeezed out of the crowd and then came to Kirito and Diabel, he took out a black coat from the equipment slot, and handed it to Kirito in the surprised eyes of the players, and the words he said were even more shocking.
"Midnight coat, a rare item dropped by the boss, I think it's more suitable for you to wear, give it to you, Kirito."
Ling Ze's words were light and light, as if he didn't care about this rare prop with historical significance at all, and the fact was that he really didn't care much about this thing, in contrast, he still felt that Kirito's wearing this was more pleasing to the eye, and Kirito who didn't wear this "midnight coat" always felt that it had no taste, not Kirito in his impression, after all, this equipment Kirito was worn to the "rotten", and Asuna complained that the dress was old and worn.
Of course, there must be an update in the back, but it has always been a "remake" based on this "midnight coat", and it has been the "fourth generation" in the back, but the style has not changed much, so there is a classic image of the "black swordsman", Ling Ze thinks it is better not to destroy it.
"Ahh Why? Isn't that right? I didn't do anything ...... either."
Kirito was a little at a loss, obviously didn't understand what Brother Ling Ze was doing, why did he suddenly equip him?!
