That fear was amplified many times over, a hundred times, a thousand times.
"call--"
Asuna took a deep breath.
She tried to push the door open, but a commotion came from behind her. Judging from the footsteps, it was definitely not just one or two people, or even three or four.
Her entire face was hidden under the hood, and Lin Yan put on a black cloak.
Apart from the difference in physique, he and Asuna are exactly the same.
The sound is getting closer.
That was a team, probably the earliest 'strategy group'. The leader was a man with medium-length blue hair.
The captain of the first "Floor Boss Extermination Team" in Aincrad.
Diabel.
"Why are there two people at the entrance to the BOSS's room?"
"This is not the man in the black cloak."
"two?"
"Interesting, are they trying to take it from us? They're overestimating themselves."
Behind Diabel stood a forty-odd men he had organized, each with an excited expression on their face.
Some people were making sarcastic remarks.
Diabel spoke in a gentle tone. He looked at the other members and said to Asuna, "We're going to take down the boss. We've been preparing for this for a long time."
"so what?"
Lin Yan asked in a cold voice.
Some members of the team immediately scoffed, after all, they were the first team to attempt the mission, and some of them were quite arrogant.
The enemy was outnumbered.
"Friend, almost a month has passed, and nearly two thousand people have lost their lives. What we need to do is defeat the BOSS as soon as possible so that we can escape this cruel death game. You don't want more innocent people to die, do you?"
Diabel spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
He has always cultivated an image of justice; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gather so many people.
"Or, you can join our team; we welcome new friends."

"Are they planning to take the BOSS for themselves? There are only two of them. Isn't that like lambs to the slaughter?"
"Hahaha, they're really fearless like newborn calves."
"That's suicidal."
"Why don't you join us? We're the first expedition team. We have many elites, and our information is the most reliable."
……
Almost the entire team wore mocking smiles. These were people defying fate, unwilling to wait for rescue in the starting town.
They talked back and forth, their conversation flowing freely and enthusiastically.
but--
Lin Yan remained silent.
"Kid, you want to die? Then go and die!" a hot-tempered man shouted, sweating profusely, his muscular body brimming with power.
His face was full of fat.
A pair of sharp, bloodshot eyes stared intently at Lin Yan and Asuna.
In "Sword Art Online," a game filled with despair and death, the dark side of humanity is laid bare. Many suffer mental breakdowns, while those who fight to the death harbor a burning rage within them.
This is a powder keg.
Once ignited, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"A fool who doesn't know his own limitations."
"This is the black sheep."
"I'd like to see how horribly they die."
"Letting them in would be letting them get away with it." The burly man with a muscular build walked over step by step.
Under the black hood, Asuna couldn't help but take a step back.
Faced with monsters in SAO, Asuna might kill them without hesitation. These are living beings, and once their HP drops to zero in the game...
Then both the characters in the game and the people in real life would die together.
To completely withdraw from the stage.
This is no different from being a murderer.
Lin Yan sensed Asuna's fear. He gently squeezed Asuna's hand and then stepped forward.
boom!
A pair of sharp eyes flashed.
The burly man, drenched in sweat, shuddered violently, as if possessed. He collapsed to his knees.
Trembling all over.
His teeth were chattering.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over my body.
The others were all confused, and a hint of surprise flashed in Diabel's eyes. On the surface, he was a seemingly virtuous gentleman who had risen up in rebellion for all the players of SAO.
In reality, this man also had his own selfish motives.
That's the rare equipment dropped by the boss of this floor, the kobold lord Ilfang; it's the reward for landing the final blow.
He alone has absolutely no chance of defeating them, but a team has a much better chance.
"Are you okay?"
Diabel gestured for the two men to help the burly man up. He looked at Lin Yan with a broad smile and said, "Friend, we are all comrades on the same side. We are all trying to escape this death game. How about... we cooperate?"
When a strong wind blows...
Diabel only felt a voice beside his ear, "If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place."
Shake.
There is no one here.
He didn't even see Lin Yan move an inch.
Sweat poured down like a waterfall.
Diabel's fear spread like a tidal wave...

"call--"
Diabel took a deep breath.
He used all his strength to remain calm, and thought to himself.
It's impossible for him to fight head-on with the person in front of him, and his goal is nothing more than the reward for the final blow. Having another expert might be more advantageous for him.
Find a stepping stone.
An excuse that everyone can accept.
In this way, we have one more chess piece.
"Friends, how about this: whoever has the most comprehensive information should take charge of this strategy. What do you think?"
Among the raiding team, several people had a fierce glint in their eyes, including a scarred man with a hideous scar on his face.
There was also a pale-faced young man who looked clean but had a sinister air about him.
There was also a blond, flamboyant guy with a sinister smile.
However, Diabel ultimately announced that this was the decision.
"The information I received is that the BOSS of this floor is the kobold lord Ilfang. Its weapons are a bone axe, a small leather round shield, and a nodachi. Its most distinctive feature is its high HP, with as many as four HP bars. It is completely different from the monsters we have encountered before."
Four HPs.
Such a thick layer of blood.
Everyone was speechless.
Some of the core members were even quite pleased with themselves, believing that their information was the most comprehensive and therefore their strategies were the most scientific.
To achieve victory with minimal sacrifice.
That's the advantage.
"Diabelle, I'm really impressed with you. You truly deserve to be our captain," someone shouted, laughing smugly.
The others also chimed in.
Especially the scarred man, the pretty boy, and the punk with blond hair.
They seemed to have no goodwill towards Lin Yan and even some hostility towards him, especially the scarred man, who always felt a shiver down his spine.
Little did they know, that was fear.
It is a sign of cowardice.
When one's heart becomes weak, one wants to take the initiative to attack one's imagined enemy in a violent, cruel, and mocking way.
That's a complete coward.
Diabel appeared humble, but he had already considered other options, and he quickly achieved his goal.
but--
Lin Yan chuckled softly.
"hehe."
"What are you laughing at?"
The scarred man shouted loudly.
But Diabel stopped him, saying humbly, "Does this friend have any information he can share with us?"
"The most difficult thing about the boss of this floor, the kobold lord Ilfang, is not his four rules, but his special ability."
Lin Yan's words caused a sensation among everyone.
Diabel was slightly taken aback.
The others also looked at each other in confusion.
"That means when all four HP bars are reduced to the last red bar, the weapon will switch to a nodachi. Also, the kobold lord Ilfang has two guards."
This statement caused another sensation.
"No way, Diabel's information is so unreliable."
"And we trusted him so much."
"Thought he was an expert, haha."
"Let's hear this young man's analysis next."
……
A murmur rippled through the group, while Diabel's face turned pale and then flushed, though he managed to maintain a forced smile.
"One of the guards was General Balan of the Golden Bull, and the other was a kobold guard from the ruins."
