Infinite Trial from the Giant

There is nothing more boring than watching other people play MMORPGs.

Heathcliff, also known as Kayaba Akihiko, also agreed with this point of view. From the first day the announcement was made, he had been looking for opportunities to join this world he created.

However, he did not directly join the front-line strategy team at the beginning. In addition to planning to take a good look at the world he created, he also wanted to see whether the players still had the mentality and strength to conquer the floor boss under the pressure of real death.

In this way, Heathcliff silently observed every player, and just when he felt the time was right and it was time for him to play a player role and join in, Xia Tian caught his attention.

The achievement of breaking through the tenth floor without any information source by a single person without any injury was enough for Heathcliff to take it seriously.

After carefully reviewing the data on Xia Tian's boss attacks from the first to the tenth floor, Heathcliff deliberately spread the news that Xia Tian had conquered the tenth floor alone. Then, after using the administrator's privileges to call up his own equipment and special skill - the Holy Sword, he appeared in front of Xia Tian as he had planned.

Heathcliff, who was thinking of trying to get in touch with Xia Tian, ​​didn't know that Xia Tian knew his true identity very well. It would be more accurate to say that his appearance in front of Xia Tian at this moment was exactly what Xia Tian wanted.

"Hello, what's the matter?" In response to Heathcliff's self-introduction, Xia Tian, ​​who had just killed a dozen people, smiled again and said politely.

Ok?

Heathcliff, who was about to speak, suddenly fixed his eyes. He noticed that Xia Tian's name did not change to Red Name.

What's going on? Game bug?

For a moment, Heathcliff, who had always been quite confident in his work, could not help but be a little surprised. You know, the setting of Huang Hongming is a very important part of the game, and it was also a part that he paid special attention to during the development.

Without this restraining force, it is very likely that everyone will be in danger. What he wants to create is a fantasy world with life and death adventures, not a breeding ground for murderers.

How could there be a bug in this system? Why didn't I see any corresponding report when I checked the logs before?

For a moment, Heathcliff's mind was no longer here. His originally friendly gaze suddenly changed. After staying on Xia Tian for a while, he said "We will meet again" and turned and left.

This action of his made Xia Tian, ​​who was still wondering why the other party appeared in front of him at this time, stunned. Looking at Heathcliff's back as he left without looking back, Xia Tian was silent for a few minutes, his eyes lit up and he roughly guessed the reason, and then he started walking towards the maze area.

The reason why there are no red names is because of the arena. Kayaba Akihiko, you can't find out anything from there.

Just as Xia Tian thought, after confirming that the surroundings were safe, Heathcliff immediately retrieved all the data about Xia Tian, ​​as well as the data of other players who had killed people in the game so far.

Monitoring data showed that except for Xia Tian, ​​all other players who killed people were shown with red names after the killing, with Xia Tian being the only exception. This did not attract the attention of the monitoring system and was not included in the bug information, but was shown as normal.

After learning that there was no problem with the red name system in the game, Heathcliff breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the information about Xia Tian in front of him, but there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Xia Tian didn't know that because of the convenience of his fighter identity, Heathcliff had already come up with an idea. He had now successfully arrived at the boss room.

The boss of the eleventh floor is a monster called the Storm Griffin. Just like when he was attacking the tenth floor, Xia Tian had already used the reward from the extra objective three to obtain information about the Storm Griffin and had made all preparations.

In addition to the main means of attack of the Storm Griffin, namely, pouncing, charging forward and flapping its wings, its most core skill is to create a storm with great attraction in the center of the field. If someone is sucked to the center of this storm, they will lose their ability to resist and be swept high up by the storm. The Storm Griffin will then launch a fatal attack on the unlucky person who is swept into the air.

However, with detailed intelligence, Xia Tian already knew very well how to deal with this move.

After several minutes of attack and defense, the Storm Griffin's wings suddenly flapped twice. Seeing this movement, Xia Tian used the chariot sword skill to jump high without hesitation.

The overall height of the boss room on the eleventh floor is much higher than that of the first ten floors because there are many huge stalactites on the top.

The Storm Griffin's eyes were always locked on Xia Tian. When it saw him jump high, the Storm Griffin's head also raised. At the same time, a compressed wind cannon suddenly spurted out of the Storm Griffin's mouth, directly hitting Xia Tian.

However, Xia Tian, ​​who had already jumped up, happened to come behind a stalactite. The wind cannon fired by the Storm Griffin was blocked by this huge stalactite. Only a bang was heard, and cracks appeared on the stalactite. At this time, the carousel launched by Xia Tian also turned its attack target to the stalactite that was close at hand.

After being destroyed by the wind cannon and sword attacks, the stalactite broke immediately and fell down, with the pointed front part inserted straight into the ground below.

The Storm Griffin that used the wind cannon did not stop at this time. It saw its wings flapping wildly. In just a few seconds, a high-speed rotating storm appeared in the field, and the small stones scattered on the ground trembled and were swept into it.

At this time, Xia Tian was already standing behind the stalactite. The attraction was completely blocked by the stalactite that was inserted into the ground like a barrier, and did not pose any threat to Xia Tian.

After dozens of seconds, the raging storm gradually dissipated, and Xia Tian calmly walked out from behind the stalactites and provocatively hooked his finger at the storm griffin in the air in front of him.

The latter was furious and rushed over roaring.

The following battle was a replica of this process. When the gravitational storm was used for the fourth time, the Storm Griffin, which had been waiting for its prey to be sucked into the storm, suddenly let out a long roar, spread its wings, flew in the air for a half arc, and then fiercely attacked Xia Tian who was hiding behind the stalactites.

Damn you, I’m going to catch you and throw you in there right now!

If it were someone else, after handling this trick perfectly the first three times, their vigilance might have been lowered, and they would have been caught off guard by the Storm Griffin's sudden change in action. However, Xia Tian had already experienced ten floor boss strategy battles, and was accustomed to the Storm Griffin's changes of tactics.

Looking at the Storm Griffin rushing down from above, Xia Tian bent his body, swung the Lord's Blade in his hand, and quickly put it into the scabbard that suddenly appeared at his waist.
