Chapter 541: The Black Cat Group on a Moonlit Night (Part 1)

Roar.

As a group of players advanced, the boss's cordon was finally triggered. After the kobold lord Irfangu roared, three ruined kobolds holding ax guns were summoned by him. These three kobolds They are not ordinary soldiers, but elite monsters.

"Split them with speed." When the three kobolds rushed up, Diabell shouted loudly and rushed towards a kobold. As Diabell's words fell, half of the players among the shield warriors separated. To stop the kobold lord who is following behind.

Others followed the previously formulated strategy to divide the three kobold elites, and then used their sword skills with all their strength, preparing to eliminate these three kobold elites as soon as possible.

The first element of fighting a boss is naturally to clear the field. A single boss, if you master its action mode and skill mode, is not difficult to deal with as long as you are prepared, but once there are soldiers interfering on the side, it will be troublesome. It can be said that The reason why most groups are wiped out is because of the interference of minions, which allows the boss to find an opportunity to attack.

Strictly speaking, the player team this time is divided into two types. The first type is naturally Diabell's original companion, which is the person Diabell trusts the most. The second type is Shen Fei, Kirito, Ke Lain is a casual player, which is the group with the highest level and the best equipment among the current players.

The main reason Diabell summoned them was because although his own team had a complete strategy, the output was not enough. After killing the three kobold elites, it would be difficult to kill the boss. Diabell had been there before. Because there was not enough potion, we had to retreat.

If it is a normal game, you can use player sacrifices to deal with the boss, but this is a death game, so it is impossible to do this. The common strategy for fighting monsters in SAO is to always maintain at least half of your health.

This is also the first strategy of the subsequent strategy group. Even when dealing with the boss, it is best to ensure that the blood is above two-thirds. Once the blood is lower than this level, you must immediately retreat and drink potions to replenish blood.

It has to be said that when people face a desperate situation, some people will be crushed by the desperate situation, but some people will also stimulate their potential.

"Up." Shen Fei nodded to Asuna beside him, drew out his long sword, and attacked the kobolds in front of him. There were three kobold elites. Diabell dealt with one, Kirito Klein. The others will deal with one, Shen Fei, and Asuna will deal with one here.

The weapon of choice for Shen Fei is naturally the sword. If you want to get the dual-sword style, this is a must. Sao does not have any clear career restrictions, and some are just divided into careers based on the main weapons and skills you use.

Generally speaking, they can be divided into swordsmen, spearmen, shield warriors, hammer warriors, etc. Which weapon you choose will naturally upgrade the skills of the relevant weapons. It is impossible for you to choose to use a long sword and end up learning the skill of shield strike. Of course it is not impossible. Learning, but the gain outweighs the loss.

Sao's skills have proficiency levels. Only when a certain skill reaches a certain level can the next level of skills be unlocked. These proficiency levels require a lot of time to practice. Just like Kirito's two-sword-style sword skills, he has been able to unlock them all. Practice alone in a deserted area.

Although skill proficiency practice is boring, it is not without its benefits. One of the reasons is that the skill level has increased and the damage has increased. The other reason is probably that people are familiar with the movement of their body after the skill is released. After all, this is not a matter of pressing buttons on the computer. A skill can be used with just one button. After using the skill, your body will move accordingly. How to grasp the end of the skill, the position of your body at that time, etc.

The difference between masters and novices is mainly the difference here. Let alone virtual reality games, even computer games, kings and alliances all have the same skills and the same characters. Some people are kings, and some are kings. People are only bronze, and that's why.

"You are indeed the shining Asuna." Asuna is still shrouded in a black cloak at this time, but this does not affect her attack speed. The weapon Asuna uses is a rapier, and her main attack skills are Mainly thrusting skills, this is a skill that relies heavily on speed.

When Asuna took action, Shen Fei naturally also took action. This is a game world, and even Shen Fei's strength is limited. As for retaining strength, it is naturally impossible.

For Shen Fei, this is a good thing in a way. It allows him to calm down and comprehend his previous sword skills. Although the sword energy cannot be used, the sword skills are still good, such as crossing all directions and crossing all directions. Shen Fei can be used in the game.

However, because SAO at this time did not have a self-created skill system, although it could be used, it was not considered a skill, but even so, it was already very powerful in terms of attack.

The reason why Kirito stands out in the game is that his reactions are faster than others. The kendo he practiced as a child is also a very important reason.

This time to attack the boss, only one of Shen Fei's shadow clones came. The other two did not come. They were still practicing outside and collecting information.

Under the division tactics, the three kobold elites were quickly eliminated without any casualties. After solving the three small soldiers, the group rested for a while, and then they all went to the front that was blocked by the shield warriors. Boss, rest is to replenish blood and restore skill cooldown.

"This guy is really talented, but I remember he seemed to be killed because he wanted to steal the boss's last blow." Looking at the shield warriors blocking the kobold lord, Shen Fei couldn't help but shout at Diabell. After taking a look, unlike Kibaou, the guy who only fanned the flames but had no abilities of his own, Diabell really had his way.

Judging from the shield warriors he leads, it can be said that he is a specially trained specialized shield warrior, that is to say, a shield warrior who only practices defensive skills. This kind of warrior can only be specially trained and cannot be trained by one person because he does not have the skills to do it. Kill monsters and level up.

One of Shen Fei's shadow clones also chose a shield warrior, but it was not a specialized defensive shield warrior. It was more like a profession like Heathcliff, the incarnation of Kayaba Akihiko, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

Judging from this situation, Diabel has made a lot of preparations to defeat the boss.

The weapons of the kobold lord Irfangu are a bone ax and a small leather buckler. Coupled with his huge body and the fact that this is a death game, it can be said that it is full of intimidation.

But to Shen Fei, this little bit of intimidation didn't matter at all. When a group of people rushed towards the boss, Shen Fei was the first to appear in front of the boss, and started with a three-hit combo.

Although a group of people form a team, the equipment drops are determined based on the damage caused. In SAO, there are two distribution methods for equipment drops, one is based on the damage of each person, and the other is distributed by the captain. If it is Members of a guild must be assigned in this way by the captain.

But it is a pity that this time to defeat the boss, the group only cooperated temporarily. The assignment of captains will definitely not work. It can only depend on the damage caused by each person. This is why Diabell in the original book wants to grab the last blow. .

Although characters have level restrictions in SAO, there are no such restrictions on equipment. Equipment restrictions mainly depend on attributes. For example, weapons such as heavy swords, war hammers, and shields require strength. If the strength is insufficient, there will be no. Method equipped.

It will not appear in the game. The equipment that is subsequently exploded in the upper floors must be better than the equipment that is exploded in the lower floors, especially in terms of bosses. Don’t forget the midnight coat dropped by the kobold lord. In the original work, Kirito also wears it until the level is cleared. It's unique, and no one else except Kirito owns this midnight coat.

Kayaba Akihiko designed this game for his childhood dream, so it is as close to the real world as possible. In addition, there is a limit of 100 levels of clearance, which means that in this game, there is no chance to kill the boss guarding the level. The second time, because it will not be refreshed.

After all, the stairs leading to the upper floor guarded by the gatekeeper boss are constantly refreshed. Will those who go to the second floor have to fight the boss again every time?

If this is set up like this, it may not matter to the strategy group, but it will be different for other players. As a result, I am afraid that no one will be able to clear the game.

In this game world, being powerful as an individual requires the cooperation of a team. Without the support of blacksmiths, chefs, pharmacists and other sub-professionals, it is impossible to pass the level just by relying on the strategy team. After all, equipment needs to be built and repaired. Without the support of blacksmiths, chefs, pharmacists, etc. How to restore life with apothecary's potion.

"Switch." With the sound of switching, the shield warrior immediately stepped forward to block the boss's attack, providing protection for other players' output. Once someone's blood dropped to about half, he would immediately retreat and step up from behind. Time restores life.

Perhaps in order to be closer to reality, the recovery potions in the game are all restored slowly. There is no situation where the blood is full immediately after drinking the potion. Although this time is not long, probably only a few seconds, but In the battle with the boss, just like the battle between ninjas, there is a difference between life and death.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to deal with." Although the group was well prepared and had a good understanding of the boss's actions and skills, it was still their first time to cooperate. Under the pressure of the death game, as the As time passed, the switch finally went wrong.

The reason for the mistake is very simple. A shield warrior failed to keep up with the switch because the potion recovery was too slow. As a result, the boss destroyed the formation that he had finally created with one blow, and a fatal flaw appeared. This flaw was really fatal. It was stable before. The formation was broken, and the players were in danger of death and had no idea of ​​regrouping.

"There is no other way." Seeing that casualties were about to appear, Shen Fei immediately took action and blocked the boss's attack with his skills.

"Switch." Just as Shen Fei took a step back, a slender figure passed by him, jumped up and quickly attacked several vital points of the boss. Asuna took action. At this time, she had dropped her cloak, revealing His true face was revealed, with his beautiful long brown hair jumping up and down with his figure and fluttering in the wind.

"Hey." Seeing that Asuna appeared, Shen Fei couldn't help but secretly look at his own shadow clone. This time, the shadow clone he came with joined the team under the pseudonym Sasuke. Shen Fei I was thinking of cooperating with him before.

Seeing Shen Fei's eyes, the shadow clone showed a helpless expression. Originally, he wanted to take action, but after seeing Asuna take action, he immediately stopped.

"Forget it." Of course, this is not the time to pursue this matter, because Asuna has already retreated, and Shen Fei needs to step up.

For switching, the safest approach is to switch between attackers and defenders, one for defense and the other for attack. However, if you are a real expert, you can let two attackers switch perfectly.

Shen Fei is an expert in this area, and so is Asuna. She has a perfect grasp of the timing, and she is worthy of the title of Flash and Furious Healer.

It can be seen how much influence sao has on Asuna. Even if she chooses the profession of healer later, she will take the magic wand in the defense line and charge with a rapier when she is unhappy.

"So awesome." Other players looked at the cooperation between Shen Fei and Asuna, and many of them were immediately stunned. The boss that needed many people to hold back before, under the cooperation of the two, the boss's skills were all interrupted, and the blood bar was rapidly decreasing. The attack of two people was more damaging than the previous joint attack of a group of people.

Even Kirito was surprised. As for Asuna, Kirito didn't care. He could do better than her. But Shen Fei's sword swinging speed was too fast. It can be said that most of the boss's health bar was caused by Shen Fei.

Finally, the boss's health bar began to bottom out, and he began to throw out the bone axe and leather round shield in his hand, ready to switch weapons. At this time, Diabel suddenly shouted to switch and rushed up from behind.

After hearing this, Asuna retreated habitually and let Diabel rush up.

"No, be careful." At this time, Kirito on the side immediately saw that something was wrong, because the weapon that the dog-headed lord changed at this time was not the scimitar that the group thought before, but a long sword.

Different weapons must have different skills and attack ranges. The previous plan of the group was to deal with the scimitar, and the skills prepared by Diabel were also to deal with the scimitar. As a result, the long sword slashed over, and Diabel's eyes flashed with fear.

As he had also participated in the internal test, he naturally knew that he had made a fatal mistake, but it was too late.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of weapons clashing, when the big sword was about to hit Diabel, Shen Fei appeared beside him and blocked the attack with his sword skills. Although he blocked the attack, the power carried by the big sword still knocked him and Diabel away.

Kirito and Diabel could not react to the sudden attack of the boss, but Shen Fei was an exception. Unfortunately, because it was a game, even he had to be knocked away.

"Asuna, step back." Looking at the boss who had knocked him away with one blow, aiming at Asuna, Shen Fei rushed up immediately while calling Asuna to step back.

At this time, Kirito, who was holding the sword and wanted to rush up, stopped after seeing Shen Fei rushing up again. Now the boss was at the bottom of blood. If he took action now, he would be suspected of robbing the boss. Kirito had seen Diabel's behavior before, and the other party wanted to rob the boss.

"Go to hell, across all directions." It's not an eight-hit combo of sword skills, but even though it's not a sword skill, it's enough to kill the boss with low health.
