Defeating the Second Floor Boss: Minotaur

Aincrad, Second Floor.

Inside the forest.

Sunlight streamed into the forest, making it look full of life, lush and verdant.

Akasaka's group held a map as they planned their next move.

Since Akasaka wasn't a beta tester and didn't know the exact locations of the high-level monsters on the second floor, he had Asuna and the other girl mark them out on the map.

Asuna raised a slender jade-white finger and kept pointing out the locations of high-level monsters she could remember.

They would prioritize farming high-level monsters—mini-bosses.

After all, ordinary monsters could no longer meet the leveling needs of the three of them.

Akasaka was currently level 11, while Asuna and Usagisawa Misumi were level 9.

If they kept farming level 2 or 3 minor monsters, it might take hundreds of them just to gain one level.

That simply wasn't worth it.

If they only farmed high-level monsters, such as level 6 or 7 ones, they could probably gain a level after killing seven or eight.

It saved both time and effort.

Akasaka folded up the map, preparing to head out with the two girls to hunt mini-bosses.

The mini-bosses on the first floor were around level 4 or 5, while those on the second floor were level 6 or 7.

Though the difficulty had increased somewhat, it was no challenge for Akasaka, Asuna, and Usagisawa Misumi.

They had to hurry and clear out all the monsters on the second floor before the raid party arrived...

Meanwhile, Diavel had already gone back to form a raid party.

Tiger King's involvement had given Diavel a strong sense of urgency.

In the original story, the raid party had taken twenty-seven days to form. Now, it had been assembled in just seven.

Many players answered the call and readily agreed to join
