Because the next day, the first floor's BOSS raid would begin. Thinking about this, Wang Hen could not fall asleep for the first half of the night. He was like a primary school student about to go on a field trip. After half a night of torment, he gradually felt sleepy. The next day, as expected, he overslept and almost missed the gathering time.
Kirito, who had arrived at the assembly point earlier, did not say anything. She only nodded at Wang Hen, who had arrived late. As for Asna, although her cloak covered her expression, Wang Hen could still tell from the aura she was emitting that she was a little unhappy. If Wang Hen was late, Asna would probably leave with the main group.
Kirito was a lone player who was used to going about alone. Wang Hen did not expect him to deliberately wait for him because of yesterday's incident. Even if Wang Hen did not come, his and Yasna's two-man party might not be as strong as the six-man party that Diobel had mentioned, but in the original work, they had still participated in the raid. It should not be difficult for them now.
Originally, everyone was betting their lives on this mission. Since they had such intentions and were quite strong, Diobel would not reject their participation. If things really didn't go well, he could use them as substitutes to contribute to the mission. This was how Diobel had arranged the mission for Wang Hen and the other two. Hence, it did not matter if they had one more person or one less.
Fortunately, Wang Hen had arrived in time. After greeting Yasna, he walked to the side and prepared to sit down to rest. Because he had stayed up late, he was not in good spirits. However, before he could rest, he heard the news from Diobel, who was leading the team.
Helpless, Wang Hen could only stand up and walk to the side of the Kirito Asna. Together with the rest of the team, they began to head towards the depths of the maze where the BOSS was located. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the maze. After clearing the monsters guarding the entrance, they began to enter the maze and explored the Boss 'room. He went over.
In SAO, the various mazes were like the dungeon maps of the online games that Wang Hen had played in the past. There were many rooms, forks, dead ends, and so on. Some top-grade equipment, a large amount of experience, and money could also be obtained from these places. At the same time, this also meant that this place was filled with a large number of monsters. Previously, all the players, including Wang Hen, did not dare to explore too deep into the maze even if they formed a team. Suo.
However, this was no longer a problem. Diobel's party had clearly explored this place very thoroughly. There were a large number of monsters there, and the fork led to the next intersection. They also knew what dangers were in the room. Under their guidance, everyone did not spend much effort. The vanguard team arrived at the Labyrinth Boss's room first. After that, they only needed to wait for the rest of the team to arrive before they could start to raid the Labyrinth Boss.
In reality, the players present were not inferior to the monsters here, be it in terms of equipment or strength. In fact, they were close to crushing the monsters here. Logically speaking, the location of the labyrinth Boss should have been discovered long ago, but it had still been delayed for a month.
The main reason for this was that death in this game was equivalent to death in real life. No one dared to take the risk to explore the maze. Until the Beta Testers led by Diobel began to explore the maze where the Boss was located based on the information in their hands. Finally, they managed to find the location of the labyrinth BOSS.
While they were clearing the monsters on the road, this was the first time that Asna had joined a party. It was even her first time playing such a game where she could completely infiltrate the game and participate in the BOSS's strategy. Therefore, Kirito took the opportunity to clear the monsters while explaining to Yasna the things to take note of when forming a party. Because Kirito guessed that Wang Hen was also a closed beta player, and most closed beta players had deep gaming experience, he did not specifically tell Wang Hen about this.
However, Wang Hen's gaming experience was all applicable in his own world. This experience might not be suitable now. However, Kirito did not hide anything when he was talking, which allowed Wang Hen to listen from the side.
Looking at the scene of Kirito teaching Yasna seriously and how she was listening attentively, Wang Hen could feel their strong will to live and their desire to return to reality. Wang Hen, who had no sense of belonging to the reality of this world, suddenly felt as if he could not find the meaning of living.
Back then, he was brought into this world because he had accidentally met the Lord God. Although he had thought about it when he made his choice, he would not become worse no matter what. He had no parents, no good friends, no lovers, and no well-paid job. It could be said that he was a person who had achieved nothing in reality and had enough to feed his family.
People like him would either work hard to become a CEO and marry a rich and beautiful woman, or become extreme and push everything to the injustice of society and embark on the path of crime, or give up on themselves and live a muddled life. He was undoubtedly the last.
For someone like him, not to mention that he had always doubted the true purpose of the so-called God's plan, could he really survive in this world? Could he, who had no special skills and was so ordinary, really do it?
The more Wang Hen thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, while he was attacking, Wang Hen suddenly asked Kirito,""Kirito, have you ever thought about how to continue living in this world? After all, the real world might not be better than this place, right?”
Wang Hen's sudden question surprised Kirito. Of course, what surprised him even more was the content of the question. Wang Hen's tone revealed a heavy feeling as if he had experienced something. He could not understand why this young man who looked about the same age as him would have such thoughts, so he asked,"Why would you think that?"
Wang Hen saw Kirito's surprised expression and shook his head. He did not answer Kirito's question because he remembered that even though Kirito was the main character in this story, he was still a child who had yet to reach adulthood. Such a question was indeed a little complicated for him.
Just as Wang Hen was about to give up, Yasna suddenly said to him," You're right. The real world might not be better than here, but life is too short. Isn't it too wasteful to choose to escape because of some tribulations and setbacks?”
Wang Hen and Kirito were both very surprised when they heard Yasna's words. Kirito was surprised by Yasna's sudden words. Wang Hen was shocked when he heard what Yasna said. That's right, life was only a few decades. How could he choose to give up just because of some tribulations and setbacks? He had always been running away and refused to face reality, but now, he was awakened by the girl in front of him.
It wasn't that he didn't know those principles, but he had been deceiving himself all this time. He had never thought about these things. The opportunity he needed had been given to him by the Lord God, but he had never dared to take a step forward. He clearly had enough strength, but he didn't take the initiative to look for the Boss in the maze. Instead, he waited for the original story character to push him to take action. Wasn't this avoiding facing it?
Wang Hen had made up his mind that he would never run away from anything again. He would face everything bravely no matter what. After breaking free from the negative state, Wang Hen immediately looked at Yasna with gratitude. However, he realized that other than saying," This is to repay your burger," she did not even look at him.
The awkward Wang Hen could only focus his attention on the wild monster in front of him. His attacks became even more intense. Kirito, who was standing at the side, did not understand the two's actions at all. When he thought about how the two had left one after the other, he was even more certain that the two of them knew each other. He did not say anything more.
It didn't take long before the main group finally arrived at the entrance of the BOSS's room. Wang Hen had almost finished understanding the necessary knowledge that he needed to pay attention to in future online games.
In front of him was a huge iron door that was about 15 meters tall. The image printed on the door was of a huge monster with a dog's head and a human's body wreaking havoc in the human gathering place. If he was not mistaken, this should be the room where the Boss of the first floor, the Kobold King, was.
When Diobel, who was leading the vanguard, saw that all the teams had arrived, he began the last pre-battle mobilization of the players and gave a final warning to everyone.
"I'm sure everyone has already experienced the monsters in the maze. I'll explain again. Those who are not confident in this raid, please evacuate before I open the door. Once the door is opened, no one can leave the room without defeating the BOSS! The teleportation crystal will also lose its effect!" These words made everyone's hearts tremble. They recalled the cruelty of this game again, and some people even began to retreat.
"Life is precious. No one will say anything if you leave here. Once you enter the room, you are not allowed to retreat. Have you thought it through?" Diobel emphasized the cruelty of the game for the last time and waited for the other players to respond.
As soon as he finished speaking, two players immediately left the party and said to Diobel.
"I'm sorry, we still can't face that kind of guy.”
After saying that, he turned around and apologized to his companions. Then, he took out the teleportation crystal and teleported back to the town.
Diobel looked at the two people who had disappeared and confirmed their wishes with the rest of the team. After getting the confirmation of the others, he once again confirmed the grouping of each team and the key things to pay attention to, especially the information that the BOSS would change its attack method when its health bar was about to be exhausted. After confirming that everyone understood it, he finally pushed open the BOSS's room.
Behind the door was a straight path that was about twenty meters wide. There were cliffs on both sides of the road, and at the end of the road, there was a Kobold King that was about ten meters tall. It had a strong physique and blue skin. Behind him was the door to the next level.
The first floor boss battle had officially begun!
