We finally killed it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great! We did it! We’ve taken down the first-floor boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first-floor boss defeated, the teleportation channel to the second floor opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the strategy group who witnessed this all erupted in excitement instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This victory by the strategy group over the first-floor boss gave everyone immense confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the first to clear the floor, they would be the first players to enter the second floor and gain early access to its resources—obviously a huge advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering the final blow, Kirito received the special reward: “Night Cloak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just as he put it on, preparing to begin his overpowered life as the “Black-Cloaked Swordsman,” a troublemaker suddenly jumped out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? If you knew the boss’s moves all along, why didn’t you share the info earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you realize Diabel almost got killed by that boss just now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t a game anymore—if Diabel’s HP had dropped to zero, he would’ve died for real!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yagami’s words, Kirito—who had just donned the black cloak and was praising Asuna’s perfect coordination—froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already awkward with social interaction, he was left speechless by Yagami’s accusations, standing dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diabel, who had just consumed a healing potion and restored his HP to safety, finally came to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kirito’s black cloak and the open teleportation channel behind him, his expression turned complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Yagami. This is my own fault—I can’t blame them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, if not for Mr. Shengzai, I would’ve been dead just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diabel hadn’t expected that after all his efforts, someone else would reap the reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, though he felt regret, he ultimately accepted the outcome with resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d pushed himself so hard partly out of selfish motives, and without Shengzai’s intervention, he truly would be dead now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Diabel, are you really just going to let this go? If these beta testers hadn’t hidden the info, you wouldn’t have…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yagami, I said that’s enough! If not for Mr. Shengzai, I’d be dead right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our goal was to defeat the floor boss—and we did. We should be celebrating, not stirring up conflict among players!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diabel was utterly speechless at the troublemaker. He’d once thought Yagami would make a decent subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he realized he needed to reconsider—Yagami was loyal, certainly, but his brain was severely lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not only was his brain lacking, he kept making suffocatingly stupid moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diabel understood the full context: Shengzai and the others had spared him the humiliation by not exposing his failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Diabel’s shock, Yagami still insisted on dragging this issue out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I truly don’t understand how someone with a brain that hasn’t even fully developed can survive in this world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you were just dumb, but now I see you’re completely brainless. Arguing with someone without a brain is my mistake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d try to explain to you, but your walnut-sized brain couldn’t possibly comprehend it. So goodbye forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai waved his hand, not even glancing at Diabel or the furious Yagami behind him, and walked straight into the teleportation channel to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shengzai’s scathing words—without a single curse—Asuna blinked in surprise: “Does Shengzai have a sarcastic trait too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of interaction, Shengzai had always seemed polite and erudite to her—she never imagined he had a sarcastic side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this kind of sarcasm—no profanity, yet capable of driving someone to rage—was something few could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means he’s truly angry. In all the years I’ve known him, occasions where he reveals this hidden sarcastic trait are extremely rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shengzai leave without even saying goodbye, Kirito knew his best friend was genuinely furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kirito was about to follow him into the second floor, Diabel suddenly called out to him and Asuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding Yagami, I apologize on his behalf. You can see he has no ill intent—he’s just blunt and impulsive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And thank you both for saving me and cleaning up my mess by defeating the boss. Otherwise, the consequences would’ve been catastrophic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of my selfish desires, I nearly caused a disaster. I apologize again to both of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Diabel spoke, he bowed deeply to Kirito and Asuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His humility, combined with Kirito and Asuna’s naturally kind natures, instantly dissolved whatever little resentment they’d held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides the apology, there’s one other thing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",919,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ec7042f02fed047764a8d482b18709796a4c57c372ab5a85499d1870e0ff02c2","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-20","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-18",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
