Chapter 285
“Goo!”
Rainbow Butterfly’s pleasant cry showed dominance over everyone else in the room.
With Rozen’s excellent instruction, Rainbow Butterfly used Paralyzing Powder and Blindness Powder alternately, causing Ilfang to either fall on the ground and unable to move, or unable to see and attack randomly. Either way, Rozen’s Raid Team could attack it using their Sword Skills without any worry.
“Oooaaaaaaaaah!”
Ilfang could only roar in pain as its hp was constantly depleting.
Seeing this scene, the beta testers seemed even more spirited than before, meanwhile, the normal players were dumbfounded.
“Is this… the true power of a tamed monster?!?”
“It’s actually toying with the Floor Boss…?”
“How is this fair…!?”
The normal players made a commotion when they saw this, and they finally remembered what Argo said during the strategy meeting yesterday.
“The one who led the beta testers players all the way to the 10th floor without any casualties thanks to his superb leadership. He was the only player who managed to get a tamed monster during closed beta, which was capable of inflicting negative status such as paralysis, blindness, poisoning, stun, etc. to the Floor Boss, Rozen.”
The normal players finally understood what Argo meant when they saw the scene in front of them.
With a tamed monster that could continuously inflict paralysis and blindness to the Floor Boss, no wonder Rozen could lead the beta testers all the way to the 10th floor, not to mention without a single casualty every single time.
The look on their eyes toward Rozen and Rainbow Butterfly finally changed, this time it was full of awe.
Of course, these players thought Rozen’s job was not that hard at all.
Although Rainbow Butterfly had a variety of special abilities, the real problem was how to command to utilize the Rainbow Butterfly’s skill.

For instance, right now, when Rainbow Butterfly inflicted paralysis and blindness to the Ilfang. Both of these skills had their own cooldowns. They can’t be used all the time. Not to mention Rainbow Butterfly didn’t have that much hp. If something went wrong, it will die in one hit for sure.
The reason why Rozen could constantly keep the Floor Boss under control was obviously because of his Rainbow Butterfly. However, that was not all. It was also because Rozen knew how to give commands that were easy to understand to the Rainbow Butterfly. He also devoted his time to raise the Rainbow Butterfly’s level and skill proficiency.
If Rozen didn’t use the precise and easy-to-understand instruction, the Rainbow Butterfly would ignore him, and if its level and skill level was low, Rainbow Butterfly would be completely useless once it faced a Floor Boss with high resistance, because the duration of its skill became even shorter. Plus, even if the condition above was fulfilled, the Rainbow Butterfly still had to face the risk of flying close toward the Floor Boss.
But these were no problem for Rozen.
Rozen always used the simplest words which were programmed to the Rainbow Butterfly’s AI, allowing the Rainbow Butterfly to fly safely toward Ilfang and used Paralyzing Powder and Blindness Powder alternately after a careful calculation regarding each skill’s cooldown.
In other words, thanks to Rainbow Butterfly that was currently drawing the highest aggro, flying around while dodging Ilfang’s random attack when it was blinded and used its skill again repeatedly, other players could concentrate on attacking Ilfang.
Eventually, Ilfang the Kobold Lord groaned in pain as its hp hit the red zone.
Rozen’s Raid Team became even more fired up. Meanwhile, the normal players could only watch, and Diavel became even more anxious.
(Damn… At this rate…)

Diabel’s hand that was holding his weapon began to sweat.
If this kept up, Rozen’s Raid Team would kill the Floor Boss, and Diavel won’t be able to achieve his goal.
Diabel, who was getting impatient, decided to talk to Rozen.
“Rozen-kun, shouldn’t we switch now and let the beta testers recover their hp?”
Diavel’s tone contained a hint of anxiety that he didn’t even realize.
Rozen noticed this, and he said to Diavel indifferently while still giving instructions to his Rainbow Butterfly
“Saihou can control the boss without problem, plus everyone’s hp is still in a good spot, i don’t think we need to switch here.”
Hearing this, Diabel was even more anxious.
“B…but…! “
Before Diavel could finish his sentence, Rozen immediately said.
“No buts… we will win soon.”
Rozen looked at Diabel and said indifferently.
“Once we defeat the boss, the players who were trapped in this world will finally realize there’s hope. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?”
When Diavel heard Rozen’s words, he became conflicted, facing a dilemma between his ideal and his desire.
“Ooaaahhhhhh!”
Ilfang the Kobold Lord screamed in pain, and it was even louder than before, drawing Diavel’s attention. When Diavel saw Ilfang’s hp, he was shocked since it was already in the red zone, he noticed that Rozen’s Raid Team was relentlessly attacking Ilfang
This scene forced Diabelle to a path of no return.
(No! I can’t hesitate here after coming this far!)
Diabel gritted his teeth, and said silently.
(Sorry everyone!)
Diablo, who has made up his mind, immediately shouted to the players engaging Ilfang.
“Watch out! The boss’s attack pattern is about to change!”
After that, Diavel rushed toward Ilfang, leaving everyone else behind.
“Diavel!”
The first one to call out Diavel’s name was Kibaou.
“Diavel!”
“Diavel-san!”
Other normal players called out his name out of worry. In their eyes, it was as if Diavel was trying to save everyone from the boss who will change its attack pattern soon. After all, as Argo said, Ilfang’s attack will be much more powerful and troublesome to deal with, and this was the most crucial stage during the whole Boss Raid.
But what they didn’t know was even though Ilfang seemed scarier at this point, dealing damage to Ilfang was also easier since Ilfang got rid of its shield.
(The Floor Boss will use talwar, meaning it’ll use Curved-Sword Sword Skill, and most of its Sword Skills in early level was straightforward with long range, it should be fine as long as I pay attention to the boss’ pre-motion.)
Therefore, Diabel was convinced that he would be able to finish off the Floor Boss without any problem.
Diavel who was blinded by greed, failed to notice the most important part, and Rozen was looking at him with pity.
at the same time…
“Zheng!”
Ilfang roared, throwing away the bone axe and shield in his hands, and switched to the long sword-like weapon on his back.
However, it was not a talwar, but a nodachi.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
