Chapter 18 The Kobold's Highlight Moment
In a game comparable to the No Man's Land, a beautiful girl like Asuna who is isolated and helpless naturally has to learn how to protect herself, and it is normal for her to be wary of others.

However, during these two days, Seiya and Kirito have gained Asuna's trust through various actions.

And after only two days, Asuna felt that she had grown much more than she had in a month.

Now that she has grown a lot, she has acquired a certain ability to protect herself, and she has two even more powerful teammates around her, so the previous disguise is naturally unnecessary.

Diabel was obviously surprised when he saw Asuna, but when he saw her standing next to Seiya, he just smiled back and said nothing more.

The ordinary Mr. Tong was once again selectively ignored, which made him quite unhappy and complained: "If looks could kill, I think I would have been killed hundreds of times by now.

One is a rare super beautiful girl in the game, and the other is the famous "Saint".

The other players must be wondering how a seemingly ordinary guy like me could have gotten into the team."

Hearing Kirito's complaints, Seiya looked around, then couldn't help but patted Kirito's shoulder playfully and said, "That's not entirely true. There are people who are paying attention to you, Master Kirito. Isn't there someone over there who's been staring at you?"

After hearing what Seiya said, Kirito was still very excited, but when he saw who was staring at him, his excited face instantly fell.

The reason was simple, because the person who was staring at him was none other than Ya Wang, who had provoked conflicts among everyone a few days ago.

Logically speaking, the person who argued with Kiba and made him lose face a few days ago should be Seiya.

Even if the other party is unhappy and holds a grudge, he should focus on Seiya.

As to why she keeps clinging to Kirito, Seiya thinks this is probably what true love is!
After the strategy team gathered, they quickly advanced towards the BOSS room at an astonishing speed under the leadership of Diabel.

Because the players present are all experienced players of higher levels, and it must be said that the instructions given by Diabel are indeed quite correct.

So it took the group less than an hour to reach the so-called BOSS room.

The almost injury-free fighting along the way boosted everyone's morale and also greatly increased Diabel's reputation.

The boss of the first floor is called the Gnoll Lord Irfangu, a giant Gnoll that is two or three meters tall.

His weapons were a bone axe and a small leather round shield, and he had four health bars.

Following him were three elite monsters, the "Ruins Gnoll Guards," wearing heavy metal armor and armed with axes and spears.

Although it is an elite monster, since it is an elite monster among the floor BOSS, its level and attributes are not weaker than the BOSS in the wild area.

The attacking team of dozens of people was divided into two teams by Diabel, one team was responsible for the opponent's ogre lord, and the other team was responsible for dealing with the ogre guards.

The people in charge of the Gnoll Guards were divided into three teams, and this time Seiya and his team were going to deal with one of the Gnoll Guards.

If Diabel wants to gain reputation, he can only deal with the Gnoll Lord. And if he remembers correctly, Seiya still remembers that this guy is also a closed beta player and knows the special reward mechanism for the last hit.

As a "Saint", Seiya already has a very high reputation among players. If Seiya were to defeat the Kobold Lord, then Diabel, as the leader, would be in a very awkward situation.

Because of this, Seiya and the other three were assigned to fight the Kobold guards.

As an elite monster, the health bar of the Gnoll Guards is far less than that of the floor BOSS Gnoll Lord, so soon the three Gnoll Guards fell one after another under the siege of the crowd.

According to intelligence, the Kobold Lord would discard his axe and shield and take out a scimitar when his health bar reached a critical point. At the exact moment the Kobold Lord abandoned his weapon, Diabel, the commander, quickly called for a halt to the attack and then advanced alone, weapon in hand.

"Sure enough, that guy organized everyone to attack the floor boss, not just for the reputation, but also for the special rewards."

When he saw the BOSS with low health, he shouted for others to leave and chose to go forward alone. Most people probably don’t know what Diabel wants to do?

However, for Seiya and his friends who had already killed the wild boss, the blue-haired man's intention was already obvious.

"Seiya, something's wrong. The one that guy took out wasn't the scimitar we learned about, but a wild sword!

Stop that Diabel quickly, he will be killed!"

As a closed beta player, Kirito knew that the weapon used by the Gnoll Lord when he finally went berserk was a scimitar.

And now the opponent has actually changed to Nodachi, which means that things are really as Seiya had guessed before, the monster's mechanism has changed!

The attack ranges of the scimitar and the nodachi are completely different. If Diabel were to deal with it using the method used in the previous closed beta test, he would definitely be defeated.

Kirito wanted to stop Diabel, but just as he was about to take action, the Gnoll Lord summoned three more Gnoll-headed guards and blocked his way.

Seiya was closer to Diabel, so if he wanted to save him, he could only call on his best friend beside him.

"Tsk, you really like to meddle in other people's business!"

Honestly speaking, Seiya didn't have much good feelings towards Blue Hair. He was just too eager for quick success and profit. Even if he was killed by the BOSS, it was his own fault.

If Kirito hadn't spoken up, Seiya would most likely have chosen to stand by and watch.

But now Kirito is shouting so loudly, if he pretends to be dead again, it will destroy his character in SAO.

After all, he is going to set up a chamber of commerce in the future. If he does not help, it will definitely damage his reputation in the future.

The Gnoll Lord, wearing the Nodachi, became incredibly fast after entering a frenzy, and his movement trajectory was completely different from that during the closed beta test.

He jumped high and dodged Diabel's attack. Then he kicked back towards the stone pillar and slashed at Diabel.

As he chopped Diabel away with one blow, he kicked a big hole in the ground with his feet. Just as he was about to strike Blue Hair again and kill him completely, a figure suddenly jumped between the two of them.

"Weapon Block!"

The nodachi collided with the wind flower sword in Seiya's hand, and a large amount of sparks suddenly flew out.

As Seiya's body flew backwards, he grabbed the blue-haired man behind him with his other hand and threw him towards Kibo.

Diabel's health bar is now close to the limit, and even the damage caused by the impact may directly take the opponent away.

"Asuna, switch!"
