Infinite Trial from the Giant

"coming!"

Seeing that the actions of the Kobold Lord were exactly as described in the guide, the players couldn't help but feel excited.

Victory is at hand!

"Let me deal with it!" Just as the Gnoll Lord was about to draw the weapon from his waist, Diabel, who was originally in the command position, shouted, drew his sword, crossed the crowd, and stood in front of the Gnoll Lord.

As a closed beta player, Diabel himself had a certain understanding of this Kobold Lord. In addition to the existence of the strategy guide, Diabel believed that he was very clear about all of the Kobold Lord's next actions. Therefore, he took the initiative to stand up at this time, having already planned to take the final blow.

After drawing the sword, it is time to charge.

Predicting the next move of the Kobold Lord in his mind, Diabel rushed out of the crowd and used his sword skills without hesitation, preparing to inflict heavy damage on the Kobold Lord while he was charging.

At the same time as Diabel's sword skills were activated, the ogre lord in front had already pulled out the weapon from behind his waist.

Unlike the scimitar described in the guide, the one held in the hands of the Kobold Lord is a huge wild sword.

"Don't go over there! That's not a scimitar! The boss's information is wrong!" A voice came from behind. It was not Kirito, but Liz who shouted out the words she had prepared long ago before Kirito.

Kirito gave a warning when he found that there was something wrong with the weapon of the Kobold Lord, and it was his warning that led to him becoming a cheater. Liz, who knew that things would develop in this way, had already thought of a way to deal with it before the strategy even started.

Because of his own combat experience, when Kirito saw that the weapon of the Kobold Lord was not the scimitar as described in the strategy guide, the first way he responded was to jump backwards. It was this hint as if he had already known the BOSS's attack method that made Kirito the target of public criticism.

In this case, let’s start with the difference in weapons.

When Liz shouted, Diabel had already noticed the change in the weapon in the Gnoll Lord's hand, but it was too late. Even though he realized that he had made a fatal mistake, he had already activated his sword skills and had no way to do anything else.

With a roar, the Gnoll Lord adopted a completely different way of action from what Diabel had expected. His tall body suddenly jumped up and dodged Diabel's attack. The Gnoll Lord's body twisted in mid-air and then fell down. The deep red blade light spread from his body like ripples. In addition to Diabel, the tank team that was originally responsible for the forward attack was also hit by this large-scale sword skill.

In Xia Tian's vision, even though he raised his shield in time, Loki's health bar still dropped by half in an instant.

Can't be hit by this move.

Xia Tian immediately became alert in his heart. After all, even Loki, who was a full-time defender, lost half of his blood because of this move. He could imagine what the consequences would be if he was hit.

At this time, the Gnoll Lord who had landed had no intention of stopping. He just held the wild sword in both hands and slashed directly at Diabel who was closest to him.

Normally at this moment, the tank team responsible for defending against the BOSS's attacks should have stepped up immediately to help Diabel block and share the BOSS's damage, but because the strategy had been too smooth since the beginning, the players felt that victory was only a matter of time. The sudden change in the battle situation and the injury of Diabel, who was in charge of the command, made the players freeze in place. Some of them didn't even realize that they had been hurt, so how could they react to support Diabel?

Without any help from anyone, the attack of the Gnoll Lord hit Diabel directly. The threat of death made Diabel, who was lifted up, raise the sword in his hand with all his strength, trying to use sword skills to stop the attack of the Gnoll Lord. However, he was in mid-air and had no way to prepare for the sword skills. After lifting Diabel up, he continued to slash at Diabel twice horizontally, and the last thrust stabbed Diabel, who was barely holding the shield in front of him, and sent him flying.

The commander of the attacking team flew over the heads of the players at the back and crashed directly onto the ground not far from Liz and Kirito. Before Liz and Kirito could even go forward to check on his condition, Diabel turned into pieces and shattered.

The death of the commander immediately plunged the entire attacking force into a state of panic and despair.

However, it was obvious that the BOSS would not show mercy because of the players' panic. After killing Diabel, it rushed straight to the next target. The player who was also holding a shield and was targeted by it did not react until he saw the BOSS rushing towards him. He raised his shield to defend in panic and was directly chopped away by the Gnoll Lord. This player was far inferior to Diabel in level and equipment. In addition, he was already half-blood due to the previous BOSS's range attack, and his blood bar was directly emptied by this blow, becoming the second player to die.

The second death once again caused the situation on the field to take a sharp turn for the worse. Originally, most people were still confused and sad because of Diabel’s sudden sacrifice, but at this time, their hearts were filled with fear caused by death.

"Roar!"

At this time, the Gnoll Lord had found the third target, and he rushed straight towards where Xia Tian was.

Oh?

With a wrong step, Xia Tian nimbly avoided the slash from the Gnoll Lord and turned behind him. The blade in his hand left a red mark of damage on the Gnoll Lord's waist. However, without using sword skills, this attack only caused less damage to the Gnoll Lord.

Just as the Kobold Lord was about to turn around and attack, a figure quickly rushed up and hit the Kobold Lord with a sword skill, forcing him back a few steps.

"Let's deal with it together. I'll be responsible for parrying its attacks." Holding the sword tightly in his hand, Kirito stood next to Xia Tian.

"Okay, I'll attack then."

Kirito's move was a pleasant surprise for Xia Tian.

This is an online game world after all, and the HP gap between players and bosses is extremely unfair, so the best option to deal with bosses is multiplayer cooperation. And if there is anyone who can help him parry the boss's attacks and create opportunities for him to attack at will, so as to max out the exclusive conditions, the most suitable person is undoubtedly Kirito.
