"boom!"
The dazzling pillar of fire swayed over the heads of Luo Zhen and Asuna, evaporating all the air in its path while emitting high temperatures that could burn the skin, unleashing its brutal power unreasonably and arrogantly.
Luo Zhen, who had pinned Asuna down at the critical moment, happened to see the shining magic eye holding the giant sword spraying scorching flames towards them, causing the dazzling pillar of fire to sweep over the two of them.
"Breath...!?"
Asuna finally reacted, and when she saw the arrogance sweeping across the space where she was a second ago, her delicate and pretty face changed.
There is no magic in this game.
However, this does not mean that this game completely excludes magical elements.
For example, there are many items that can enhance abilities or exert various support effects just by being equipped. If you receive the blessing of a priest in a church in a big town, the weapon can temporarily have sacred attributes and can be used to attack incorporeal ghosts and monsters. The necromancy monsters and the crystal props used by players are also rare magic elements in SAO. These are some manifestations of magic.
But these factors not only happen to players, but also to monsters.
Those are monster-specific skills called special abilities.
For example, the mammoth that was the boss of the 26th floor training area can secrete mucus from its body hair to hinder the players' movements. This is one of the special abilities of monsters.
Among the many special abilities, the most common one is breathing.
Many powerful monsters can use this special attack skill. Sometimes they spit venom, sometimes they spit lightning, sometimes they spit ice and snow, sometimes they spit fire. All kinds of breaths exist in this world, and because of their respective attributes Different ones have different threats.
The Shining Eye can use a breath similar to fire.
It is said to have the highest attack power among many breath skills. There is even a certain chance that the player will be in the negative state of being burned, and his HP will continue to be deducted. There is also a certain chance that the player will be delayed in action.
Originally, seeing the Shining Eye equipped with a large sword, both Luo Zhen and Asuna thought that the opponent was like the kobold lord Ilfang, the defensive boss on the first floor, who was good at using sword skills to fight the enemy. , Unexpectedly, the opponent actually has the breath skill.
"Roar!"
After the shining magic eye failed to hit the target, it let out a roar that shook the air, picked up the large sword in its hand, and rushed towards this side with roaring footsteps.
The appearance of a huge body charging in a room with limited space brings a huge sense of intimidation and shock.
"Colorful butterfly! Colorful butterfly!"
Luo Zhen hugged Asuna and loudly called his familiar.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
The colorful butterflies and flower butterflies immediately responded, flying out like two streams of light, arriving above the shining magic eye, and sprinkled yellow phosphorus powder together.
Although this "Paralyzing Powder" move is only the earliest skill of Rainbow Butterfly, because it is the only skill at the beginning, this skill also takes the longest time to be refined.
Nowadays, both Cai Die and Hua Die have fully mastered the proficiency of this "Paralyzing Powder" move. It is one of the best among their many negative status skills.
"Bili...!"
The paralysis skills applied by the two rainbow butterflies worked smoothly on the defending boss, causing a lightning-like effect to flash across the body of the Shining Demon Eye.
The opponent's huge body suddenly froze in place and could no longer move.
However, Luo Zhen also knew that this would not delay much time.
On the mini-boss on this floor, the negative status skills of Cai Die and Hua Die can only last for a few seconds. There is no reason why they can last longer on the strongest floor-defending boss on this floor.
Even if Cai Die and Hua Die use their skills together, the effects should be superimposed, but with the negative status resistance of the defensive boss, they may only last for a few seconds.
Luo Zhen took the opportunity to speak out.
"Now! Let's evacuate the room!"
Luo Zhen made this decision decisively.
Although it was just one interview, Luo Zhen had already gained a lot of information from this interview.
At least, Luo Zhen already knows that the defensive boss on the 74th floor can not only use breath skills, but also be equipped with a large two-handed sword. Logically speaking, he should be able to use the sword skills of the "Two-Handed Sword" skill, plus strips of HP. The slot is also located next to the Shining Demonic Eye, allowing us to roughly judge its HP value. Just having this information is a great gain.
As long as the defensive boss in front of him has no hidden skills or attack mode, then after going out like this, Luo Zhen can directly organize a strategy battle and gather the strength of the strategy team to defeat this monster.
Therefore, Luo Zhen immediately made the decision to retreat.
"Um!"
Asuna also realized that there was no need to delay, so she got up from the ground and rushed towards the door behind her without hesitation.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Rumble..."
Amidst a roar, the door to the boss's room on the guard floor suddenly closed, cutting off Luo Zhen and Asuna's escape route.
"Varied…!?"
Asuna was shocked.
"…!"
Even Luo Zhen opened his eyes slightly and stopped subconsciously.
Logically speaking, once the guarding boss's room is opened, the door will never be closed unless all players retreat.
Of course, this is not without exception.
For example, the defensive boss on the 4th floor uses a special ability to generate huge water flow. It is set to fill the entire room with water at the beginning of the strategy battle. Players can only use props like swimming rings or Only the special support effect that can float on the water can be used to attack the boss, otherwise it will be drowned. Therefore, the door will be closed at the beginning of the attack battle to prevent water from flowing out.
But that's just an exception based on the settings.
If there was a situation where the door would be closed at the beginning of the strategy battle, then it should have been closed after Razen and Asuna entered the room, and not suddenly closed at this time.
In this case, Luo Zhen can only think of one possibility.
"Someone closed the door outside...!"
That's it.
The door cannot be opened from inside the room.
In other words, Luo Zhen and Asuna can no longer leave this room through the door.
"Asuna!" Luo Zhen immediately shouted: "Use the transfer crystal!"
Unfortunately, this instruction was met with a trembling voice from Asuna.
"No..." Asuna had already held a transfer crystal and said with a pale face: "The transfer crystal doesn't work!"
In other words, the room itself is a kind of trap.
A trap capable of neutralizing crystals.
With the escape route blocked and the crystal ineffective, Luo Zhen and Asuna had completely lost the chance to escape.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
At this time, Cai Die and Hua Die sounded in panic.
Luo Zhen quickly turned his head and looked behind him.
"boom!"
I saw that the Shining Demonic Eye had lifted its paralysis, and was spitting out its breath at the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies. The two rainbow butterflies were rubbed by the flames in panic, and their HP suddenly dropped.
"Roar!"
Immediately afterwards, the Shining Demon Eye roared and aimed at Luo Zhen and Asuna.
"call!"
Under the sound of strong wind, the charging demon waved the giant sword in his hand, blowing away the air while slashing towards this side.
"Tsk!"
Luo Zhen pulled out the crystal sword from his waist.
"Qiang!"
A loud fighting sound suddenly appeared, kicking off the prelude to this deadly fight.
