Chapter 365 Famous Trainers!

"Everyone, pay attention! The boss has entered the 'rage phase'!"

Even though the green-haired man was dealing with elite monsters, he was always paying attention to the boss's health.

"Everyone, get down!"

At the same time, Madara noticed that the 'Kobold Lord' had thrown away the battle axe in his hand and pulled out the beheading sword behind him.

At this time, the boss had entered the 'dominant state' emitting golden light, and stood up forcibly, and the control skills of those Pokémon had no effect.

Most of the more than 200 people immediately lay down on the ground after hearing Madara's voice. Although they didn't know why, they were still convinced by Madara's words.

However, there were so many people who jumped into the air just when Madara opened his mouth. Even if they noticed something wrong at this moment, it was too late.

Because the boss had already swung the beheading sword towards the surroundings, forming a huge range of 'drawing sword slash' skills.

"Bellbud, use vine whip!"

At the critical moment, a player below let his Pokémon use a skill, and the dark green vines flew out and forcibly pulled the two players to the ground.

But the other dozen or so were not so lucky, and were directly hit by the boss's sweep.

Red knife marks suddenly appeared on the waists of more than a dozen people, and their health was also reduced sharply. There were also two or three unfortunate ones who were hit by critical hits and their health bars were emptied on the spot and turned into fragments and disappeared.

'Closed beta players? '

Ban glanced at the dozen people and knew their identities at once.

Because during the closed beta period, the first-level boss 'Kobold Lord' would draw out the scimitar behind him and smash the ground hard after entering the violent state, causing all players to fall. Only jumping up could avoid this move.

But now in the closed beta period, the boss's actions are obviously different from those in the closed beta.

Ban had already anticipated this when he saw the weapon behind the kobold lord change, but he didn't know what it would become.

Those dozen people suffered the loss of knowing the information.

Fortunately, the closed beta players are higher in level and have better equipment quality than ordinary players, so the boss's attack did not directly kill all of the dozen people, and only two or three unfortunate ones who were hit by critical hits died.

"Ura, catch!"

Kirito, who was closest to the boss, caught a glimpse of this scene and immediately began to breathe heavily. He grabbed the two swords and rushed up with Ura.

The man and the cat waved their hands as if sparks were about to fly, and frantically seized the boss's stiff moments to attack.

"Heracross, attack!"

Asuna on the other side also attacked with Heracross at the same time.

Asuna held the rapier in one hand, and every time she stabbed, the rapier would flash with white skill light.

She is a player who mainly adds intelligence (increases mana, skill additional damage, shortens skill CD, etc.) and agility (movement speed, attack speed, critical hit rate, etc.), and mainly relies on skills to deal damage.

And Heracross and Asuna's movements are very similar, using their horns to attack the boss again and again.

"Lizbeth, go."

Ban didn't take action here, but pushed the apprentice beside him over.

"Ah?!"

Lizbeth was stunned, and subconsciously threw a bunch of fists.

With just a moment of stiffness, the remaining 10% of the Boss's health bar was quickly emptied by them, and finally turned into countless fragments and disappeared in mid-air.

The entire Boss battle from beginning to end took less than three minutes.

A dialog box of rewards appeared in front of all players.

The reward of a first-level Boss is almost the same as killing an ordinary Lv.1 monster when it is averaged to more than 200 players, but most people don't care.

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, which meant that they, the players, had taken the first step back home!

As for the two or three sacrificed people, not many people noticed them, and those who noticed didn't want to ruin the atmosphere at this time, and everyone ignored them intentionally or unintentionally.

[Congratulations on getting the 'Midnight Cloak']

Kirito put on the 'kill reward' he got, and then looked around.

First, he looked at Asuna standing opposite, who just settled the reward.

"Hello, you and your Pokémon are both very powerful."

Kirito said politely first.

Although Asuna is very beautiful, for Kirito, it is obvious that the handsome Heracross can attract his attention more.

"Thank you, you and your Pokémon too."

Asuna also responded with a smile, and then touched Heracross beside her, "I am praised."

"Dark~"

Heracross scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, a little shy.

Then, Kirito and Asuna noticed Lizbeth who was still a little confused and scared next to them.

"You are Mr. Madara's apprentice, right?"

Kirito glanced at the gloves on Lizbeth's hand and understood.

As someone who also has a master, he knows that some of the master's skills can be passed on to his apprentice, even if the skills that originally have "uniqueness" can be passed on.

The passive skill [Fist Flow] should be the only skill that Mr. Madara possesses. Since the pink-haired girl in front of him also has this skill, it must have come from Mr. Madara.

After this guess, Kirito looked at Lizbeth a few more times.

But Kirito didn't find any shining points in Lizbeth. She was just an ordinary girl, and her psychological quality might not be as strong as that of ordinary players.

To be frank, such a person should not have anything worth cultivating.

Especially in this game where people can die, cultivating such a player can be said to be almost a waste of resources.

Moreover

Kirito's eyes returned to Asuna standing in front of him. He thought that Mr. Madara should accept this bold and careful girl as his apprentice, or accept some male apprentices.

He noticed that in the battle just now, Asuna and Heracross's cooperation was simply seamless, and it didn't seem like an operation that a new player in the public beta could perform.

"Huh? Yes"

Lizbeth came back to her senses, lowered her head in shame, and was embarrassed to admit it.

She felt that she had embarrassed her master. After all, the master was so powerful and admired by so many people, but she didn't even have the courage to face the boss.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something? Your fighting style seems to be different from most people's?"

Asuna couldn't help but stand up and ask at this time.

"Ah, this is my passive skill 'Dual Swordsmanship', which is of the same nature as Mr. Madara and this girl's skills."

Kirito admitted it openly.

In the original work, he didn't dare to expose it, because this skill is really 'unique', and once it is exposed, he will be targeted.

But now it's different.

'Dual Swordsmanship' is unique, but skills with similar nature are not, such as Madara and Lisbeth's 'Fist Flow' is obviously more conspicuous than Kirito's.

With the other two people sharing the pressure, it doesn't matter even if he is targeted. Others will at most be envious and jealous, not to the extent of 'hate'.

And Kirito's biggest trump card now is [Uchiha Style Swordsmanship], this skill that can hit critically with every sword in the later stage is what he doesn't want to expose.

Fortunately, the external effect of the skill [Uchiha Style Swordsmanship] is not obvious.

Unless someone is paying attention to Kirito's critical hit rate, basically no one will notice it.

"Well, my [Fist Style] was passed down to me by my master."

Lizbeth, the foolish girl, said it directly, and many players around heard it.

At the same time, these people's eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at Madara, Kirito and Lizbeth for a few more times.

Kirito noticed the gazes of these people and said quickly,

"Although this skill can be passed down, there is only one number of people who can establish a master-disciple relationship in the [Master-Disciple System]. I have already worshipped someone else as my master and cannot accept another disciple, so this skill cannot be taught to others."

"Huh? Is there such a mechanism? I don't know."

Lizbeth scratched her hair in confusion. She really didn't know about this.

"It seems that this is a rare skill that only a few lucky people can awaken."

Asuna didn't have any other thoughts.

After all, she felt that the fighting style of [Dual Sword Style] and [Fist Style], which rely on flat attacks to deal damage, was not suitable for her.

More than 200 players stayed here for a while and returned to the starting town.

The news that the first-floor boss had been conquered spread, and the players of SAO were excited. The town suddenly became lively, as if they were about to return to the real world.

At 0:00 p.m., the portal to the second floor will open.

Many closed beta players are thinking of getting a good night's sleep and getting up in the middle of the night to grab the rare tasks on the second floor.

However, the public beta players did not realize this. They even wondered why the portal had not been opened yet. After asking others, they learned that the portal would not be refreshed until the next day.

So the players who had nothing to do began to discuss the performance during the boss battle.

On the one hand, Madara's quick reaction and precise command in the battle made everyone more confident in the value of this "strongest".

Many players have decided that they will not participate in the strategy battle that Madara does not participate in in the future.

With Madara's participation, the probability of their death will be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the hot topic is the trainers.

Among them, Kirito and Ura, Asuna and Heracross are the two most watched pairs.

The key to their easy defeat of the boss was that Ura attracted hatred at the critical moment, and Heracross pushed down the first form of the Kobold Lord.

Then Ura and Heracross's fighting style, which was exactly the same as the trainer, also made other players feel that they were very handsome and had a good understanding.

For a while, Kirito and Asuna became famous.

The former was called, "the trainer of two swords".

The latter was called, "the trainer of flash".
