Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 50: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

The BOSS battle reached the 20th minute.

During the ten minutes dedicated to fighting the BOSS, another 40 players died, leaving about 120 players remaining.

However, the remaining players also gained something - they roughly understood the BOSS's attack logic.

The exclusive skill of the Lava Demon will be activated five minutes after the battle. By calculating the hatred value, the player with the highest hatred value will be teleported into it, and the player will be burned by the magma.

There is no solution to this skill. Players trapped in it will die, but the time of death will be different.

The rest are ordinary skills. The Lava Demon will use his giant lava hand to hit the platform, causing area damage and shocking players close to the surrounding magma into the magma.

However, these skills are relatively easy to deal with. Just go to the edge of the platform after the BOSS uses the skills.

At this time, the BOSS's skills are in CD state, and the edge of the platform is relatively safe, which is a good place to restore life.

Knowing this, you only need to continuously sacrifice players with high hatred values ​​to the BOSS, and you can have a relatively stable output time.

The expeditionary army used this method to reduce the BOSS's health by half within ten minutes.

Everyone was very excited when they saw this. Most of them had never seen a BOSS before and were amateur players. They would rush forward to attack as soon as they had the chance, completely ignoring the BOSS's next move.

Having summarized most of the BOSS mechanisms, Dierberu sighed slightly and reminded:

"Be careful, the boss will soon be half dead, maybe he has some hidden skills."

Everyone completely ignored the order, looked like they were crazy and rushed towards the BOSS again.

That's right. After all, he was only the leader of the expedition against the 'Black Swordsman', and he had not explained anything about the BOSS in advance. It was understandable that they were not willing to listen in the excitement of the atmosphere.

However, I still cannot forget to remind myself what I should do.

Immediately afterwards, the BOSS's health dropped to half.

Dierberu warned loudly: "Everyone, retreat quickly. The boss may have hidden skills."

Many people heard the president's reminder and prepared to retreat and avoid the attack.

But the BOSS had already entered the second stage, and their withdrawal seemed too slow in comparison.

When the Lava Demon's health dropped to half, the iron cage on his neck began to merge with his body and then disappeared.

In Tiberu's opinion, the boss gave up his exclusive skills, which completely ended the game stage - it was time to start the real fight.

Then the BOSS began to absorb the surrounding magma, which made it even hotter and more dazzling.

The air had been hot at best, like summer temperature.

Everything is different now. The scorching hot air touches the whole body, making it almost impossible to breathe, as if all the players are in a huge steam furnace.

I thought the body would sweat naturally, but the game directly canceled this mechanism, making the players suffer.

In an instant, the center of the platform became the center of all heat.

Then all players received a prompt.

[The temperature of the current scene is too high, and health points will be consumed automatically every second. ]

This means that all players will suffer continuous damage, and if the boss is not defeated within a short period of time, everyone will be killed by the field effect.

Tiberu stared at his own blood volume.

About 3 or 4 life points will be reduced every second, which means more than 200 points will be lost every minute.

With his own 1300 health points, he can probably last about 5 minutes.

Considering that there are still many players whose health is lower than his, Tiberu set the time at 5 minutes.

At this time, someone shouted, "Hey, come over here quickly. This place is not affected by the boss's area damage."

Looking further ahead, the man was actually standing on the edge of the platform, jumping around vigorously, as if he was not affected by the high temperature.

The boss's overall damage skills are ineffective at the edge.

If this is the case, this can be used to your advantage.

Tiberu thought in his mind.

They can take turns attacking, and players with less health can hide at the edge of the platform to recover.

I was thinking about notifying other people.

But before he could finish his words, the Lava Demon raised his arms and smashed down the platform.

This attack was larger in scale and caused stronger platform vibrations.

The person who was just standing on the edge of the platform and jumping around fell headfirst into the lava because of the vibration, and his life was instantly reduced to zero and disappeared.

Tiberu thought about it and decided to give up.

Your health will continue to decrease inside the platform, and there is a chance of sudden death outside the platform. It is better to be safer between the two options.

Then he issued his final order: "We are going to die anyway, so abandon defense and attack."

Tactics are very difficult for most of the newbies in the team, and they prefer to receive instructions to attack.

After hearing what their commander said, they all became excited.

With an order, everyone attacked the BOSS together.

Whirlwind Strike, Heavy Slash, Pressure Hammer, Fei Lian...

Even Tiberu joined the battle, standing in the back row and continuously attacking with a bow and arrow.

He knew in his heart that it was pointless to give orders at this time, so it would be better to join the team and fight together.

……

Teammates fell one by one, and the time came to the 7th minute.

Tiberu drank another bottle of recovery potion. He didn't know how many bottles he had drunk.

Looking around, I couldn't see any teammates.

At the end of the battle with the BOSS, I was the only one left?

Looking up at the Lava Demon's health bar, there was only a trace of blood left. If he hit him again, he might be able to kill him.

I thought about reaching for the quiver behind me, but I didn't feel anything in my hand.

He turned sideways to check behind him and found that all the arrows had been used up, leaving only an empty quiver.

Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that all the hundreds of arrows I bought would be used up. This might be the drawback of the archer.

Open your backpack and replace the bow with a longsword.

Then he rushed towards the Lava Demon: "The final blow!"

Just as he rushed to the feet of the BOSS, before he could swing his sword, he was hit hard and embedded into the ground - the Lava Demon put his hands together and smashed down heavily.

"I am unwilling to accept..."

Then, Deirberu turned into fragments and disappeared.

As the health bar of the last player in the venue reaches zero, the BOSS should disappear, then accumulate strength and wait for the next challenge with full health.

But after crushing Tiberu to death, the Lava Demon twisted its huge body in another direction - there seemed to be other players on the field.

"Really? The BOSS is more sensitive than the players, but he was still discovered."

The place where the sound came from was an empty space, and then a figure appeared in the originally empty space.

Black level 20

It was Kirito’s third brother, Li Shunsheng.

Ordinary players would feel unbearable heat just by standing in the venue, but Hei seemed to be completely unaffected and could come and go freely here.

If you can check the player's equipment information, you can find that Hei is wearing a piece of protective gear at this time - the Burning Armor.

The same properties will completely offset the heat of the BOSS.

Because of this, Black can come and go freely in the venue at such a low level.

Hei had heard about the encirclement and suppression and wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that the targets of the encirclement and suppression were actually his eldest and second brothers.

The result was that they turned against us midway.

But there were so many people here that he couldn't help by himself, so he had to use special skills to hide himself.

In SAO, when the stealth value reaches a certain level, you will gain the skill of invisibility.

In this state, the body will be optically camouflaged and blend into the environment.

However, this skill only hides the body. Various sounds such as talking and footsteps will expose oneself.

When an invisible person launches any attack, he will also be in invisible state.

Only people with high abilities can use this skill proficiently, anyone else will be just a clown.

And black just happens to be there!

Then Hei looked at the BOSS's remaining health bar: "Next..."

As he said this, he jumped up and threw the dagger.

[Congratulations on defeating the 'Second Floor Guardian Lava Demon'. ]

[Congratulations on getting...]

This behavior is now generally called picking up leaks.
