"Boom!"

Dazzling pillars of fire swayed and shot over the heads of Rogen and Asuna, evaporating all the air in their path, emitting a heat that burned their skin, unreasonably and brutally venting their brutal power.

At the last moment, Luo Zhen, who had pressed Asuna down, happened to see the shining demon eye holding the giant sword spewing out scorching flames from this side, allowing the dazzling pillar of fire to sweep over the two of them.

"Breath...!?"

Asuna finally reacted, and when she saw the arrogance that swept through the space she was in a second ago, her delicate pretty face changed.

There's no magic in this game.

However, that doesn't mean that the game completely excludes the element of magic.

For example, there are many items that can improve abilities or exert various support effects just by equipping, and weapons can temporarily have divine attributes if they receive the blessing of the priest in the church in large towns, and can be used to attack ghost-based and necromantic monsters that have no entity, and the crystal items used by players also belong to the magic elements that are rare in SAO, and these are some manifestations of magic.

However, these elements do not only happen to the player, but also to the monsters.

That's a monster-specific skill called a "special ability."

For example, the mammoth that used to be the boss of the 26th floor training area, it can secrete mucus from its body hair and hinder the player's movement, which is one of the special abilities for monsters.

Among the many special abilities, the most common is breathing.

Many powerful monsters are able to use this special attack skill, sometimes spitting venom, sometimes spitting lightning, sometimes spitting snow, sometimes spitting fire, all kinds of breath exist in this world, and have different threats due to their different attributes.

Shining MONOCULUS can use a breath similar to fire.

It is known as the one with the highest attack power among the many breath skills, and there is even a certain chance that the player will be in the negative status of "burn", not to mention the continuous deduction of HP, and there is a certain chance to delay the action.

Originally, seeing that the Shining Demon Eye was equipped with a large sword, both Luo Zhen and Asuna thought that the other party was like the first-tier defender Boss Kobold Lord Ilfang, who was good at using sword skills to fight the enemy, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had a breath skill.

"Roar!"

After failing to strike a single blow, the Shining Demon Eye let out an air-shaking roar, picked up the large sword in his hand, and rushed towards this side while stepping on the roaring footsteps.

The appearance of a huge body charging in a room with limited space brings a huge sense of intimidation and shock.

"Butterflies! Flower Butterfly! ”

Luo Zhen hugged Asuna and called his demon loudly.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies immediately responded, flying out like two streamers, coming to the top of the shining magic eye, and sprinkled yellow phosphorus powder together.

Although this move (Paralysis Powder) is only one of the initial skills of Rainbow Flower Butterfly, it is precisely because it is the only skill at the beginning, and this skill has been honed for the longest time.

Now, both Painted Butterfly and Flower Butterfly have fully learned the proficiency of this trick [Paralysis Powder], and it is one of the best of their many negative status skills.

"Biliba...!"

The paralyzing skill applied by the two rainbow butterflies worked smoothly on the boss of the defending floor, causing the lightning-like effect to flash on the body of the shining demon.

The opponent's huge body suddenly froze in place, unable to move anymore.

However, Luo Zhen also knew that it would not take much time to delay like this.

On the mini-bosses of this floor, the negative status skills of Rainbow Butterfly and Flower Butterfly can only last for a few seconds, and there is no reason why it can work longer on the strongest Floor Boss on this level.

Even if Rainbow Butterfly and Flower Butterfly use skills together, the effect should stack, but with the negative status resistance of the Defending Boss, I am afraid it will only last for a few seconds.

Luo Zhen took the opportunity to speak out.

"Now is the time! We evacuate the room! ”

Luo Zhen made this decision immediately.

Although it was only a one-time interview, this side had already allowed Luo Zhen to obtain a lot of information.

At least, Luo Zhen already knows that the boss of the 74th floor can not only use the breath skill, but also equipped with a large two-handed sword, which should be able to use the sword skill of the "two-handed sword" skill, plus the HP slots are also located on the side of the shining magic eye, so that its HP value also has a rough judgment, and just having this information is a big gain.

As long as the defending boss in front of him doesn't have hidden skills or attack patterns, then, after going out like this, Luo Zhen can directly organize a strategy battle, gather the strength of the strategy group, and crusade against this monster.

Therefore, Luo Zhen immediately made the decision to retreat.

"Hmm!"

Asuna also realized that there was no time to delay, got up from the ground, and rushed to the gate behind her without hesitation.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

"Boom..."

In a roar, the door to the boss room on the floor suddenly closed, cutting off Luo Zhen and Asuna's back path.

"What...!?"

Asuna was taken aback.

“……！”

Even Luo Zhen's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously stopped.

It stands to reason that once the boss room is opened, the door will never be closed unless all players have withdrawn.

Of course, this is not without exceptions.

For example, the boss on the 4th floor will use a special ability to generate a huge flow of water, and the setting is to fill the entire room with water at the beginning of the raider, and players can only use items similar to swimming rings or special support effects that can float to the surface to attack the boss, otherwise they will be drowned, so the gate will be closed at the beginning of the raider to prevent the water from flowing out.

But that's just based on the exception.

If there really is a situation where the door will be closed at the beginning of the raider, then it should be closed after Luo Zhen and Asuna enter the room, and it will not wait until this time to close suddenly.

Since this is the case, Luo Zhen can only think of one possibility.

"Someone closed the door outside...!"

That's it.

Inside the room, the door cannot be opened.

In other words, Rogen and Asuna can no longer leave this room through the door.

"Asuna!" Luo Zhen immediately shouted, "Use the Transfer Crystal!" ”

Unfortunately, this instruction was exchanged for Asuna's trembling voice.

"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 trap.

A trap that neutralizes crystals.

The retreat was sealed, the crystal was invalid, and Luo Zhen and Asuna had completely lost the opportunity to escape.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

At this time, the panicked voices of the butterfly and the flower butterfly rang out.

Luo Zhen hurriedly turned his head and looked behind him.

"Boom!"

I saw that the Shining Demon Eye had lifted the paralysis state, and it was breathing at the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies, so that the two rainbow butterflies were grazed by the arrogance in a panic, and they fell sharply by a section of HP.

"Roar!"

Immediately after, Shining Demon Eye roared, targeting Luo Zhen and Asuna.

"Whew!"

Under the sound of the strong wind, the rushing demon swung the giant sword in his hand, blowing the air and slashing towards this side.

"Tsk!"

Luo Zhen pulled out the crystal sword at his waist.

"Qiang ————!"

A loud exchange of blows suddenly appeared, setting off the prelude to this death match.
