Chapter Thirty-Nine: Scarlet Marika
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Scarlet Marika
Since it was already noon when we set off, it was already dark before we had gone too far.
It's not impossible to continue on the road, but the dim sky is always not as dark as the day, maybe some monsters will be missed, which will pose a threat to Sirika's safety, so May and Sephiroth didn't say much, silently stopped, and found a safe area where they couldn't farm monsters and prepared to set up camp.
Sephiroth diligently helped the little Lori with dots, and quickly assembled the tent, while May was just idle, and simply stood up after watching it for a while: "You guys do it slowly, I'll go around the area." ”
The spearman was courteous to Sirika, and he didn't react to May's words at all, but little Lori responded crisply.
Patting the non-existent dust on his body, May walked out of the camp slowly, of course he didn't just walk around, but inspected the neighborhood for any potential dangers.
Don't worry about monsters, but always be careful of unpredictable players, such as ...... Smiling coffin.
And at this time in May, the patrol was also quite skillful, he walked around the camp, slowly expanding the range, and checking as carefully as possible.
When he turned to the seventh circle, a roar and the sound of swords clashing and skill activations continued to sound, which made him vigilant, and he sent a message to the spearman casually, and began to run towards the place where the sound came from.
When he was about to reach his destination, he suddenly let out a series of screams, which made May's heart tighten, and she suddenly accelerated her pace, rushed to a bush in front of her, and came to a clearing.
At this time, what caught my eye was an indifferent woman, about twenty years old, with long red hair, and a knife in her hand, with a murderous aura.
And beside her, there are still four or five clusters of light on the ground that are about to disperse at this time, this kind of light is not unfamiliar to May, that is...... The light that only appears when the player dies in SAO is destroyed by data!
Of the clumps about to crumble, one of them was still intact crawling on the ground toward May, with a hand outstretched like a drowning man trying to grab a rope thrown by a rescuer on the shore, revealing a face twisted with terror - it was the woman who had argued with Celica on the thirty-fifth floor.
"Help, save me!"
However, there is nothing May can do at this time, because the health of those players has long been reduced to zero, and now, it is only their last time in this world......
Seeing several players completely turn into a shattered cloud of data light, May's brow furrowed tightly.
To be honest, the woman who died, May, didn't know her name, and she had an extremely bad impression of her because of Celica, but that was by no means a reason for him to watch her die.
The Passing of Life...... It's a really annoying thing.
May was expressionless, indifferently raised her head to look at the indifferent woman, on her arm, there was also a strange mark tattooed, like a half-opened coffin, there were some patterns on it, etc., due to the distance, and the sky was dark, so May didn't really see it, but just that little was enough to make him relate.
Smiling ...... Coffin......?
The look was even colder, May slowly held the hilt of the sword on the side of his waist with his right hand, and did not see any movement from him, the belt used to fix the sword body at the back waist "snapped" all collapsed, and then lifted Fenrir in front of him with one hand, danced a sword flower casually, and changed his hand to a positive hold: "I don't know what happened between you, but after all, they are also human beings, is it too much to be killed like this?" ”
The red-haired woman's expression was indifferent, unmoved by May's questioning, and when she saw May's movements, she also lifted the long knife in her hand: "You too...... Their companions......"
Completely unanswered, May frowned again and put her other hand on the hilt of her sword.
The woman on the other side is not easy to deal with, and it takes about ten seconds for the player to vaporize the brain from the time the health is reset to the microwave sent out by the brainwave connection device, which is the time it takes for the player to completely dissipate the light of data, so even if the few players who died just now are only at the medium level, however, the time for their complete death is not much different, that is to say, this woman can calmly counterattack in the case of being besieged, and even kill all the enemies in a short period of time, this strength ......
With this kind of strength, if you don't go to the raiders group, you have to bully those ordinary players here...... May took a sip.
The woman looked at May, a smile appeared on her cold face, which was as cold as the temperament on her body, and then slowly clenched the sword: "There is nothing that my sword can't cut ......"
May also showed a sneer: "Who wouldn't say big things...... Are you going to be caught yourself, or are you going to let me take you to jail? ”
The woman stopped answering and took a stance, staring at May like a cheetah.
And May also slowly lowered her figure, like a very taut bowstring,-for-tat!
Just as the two were about to fight, an anxious voice came from not far away: "Wait, wait!" ”
It's Celica!
May turned back in surprise, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the woman opposite, and her expression was slightly moved.
Does she know Celica too?
Such a question rose in May's mind, but then she put it aside and looked at Sirika suspiciously.
The little girl trotted all the way, then bent down slightly and gasped for a few breaths, and the spearman followed her inch by inch, holding a spear in his hand, and his expression did not mean to relax.
The little girl gasped for a while before raising her head again and looking at the two of them anxiously: "Brother May! Sister Marika! Don't fight! ”
Does Celica know this woman? But the other party is a coffin with a smile...... May thought suspiciously, and before he could speak, the woman opposite first put away the knife and asked Sirika.
"Girl, do you know this kid?" Her expression had softened a lot, and she slowly walked towards this side.
Listening to the affectionate salutation and the woman's movements, May finally let go of her hostility for the time being, but did not let go of the hilt of her sword.
"Hmmm! Yes, Sister Marika, Brother May saved my life! Celica nodded vigorously, seeing that the two of them had no intention of making a move, she couldn't help but be happy and nodded vigorously.
And as the woman approached, May finally saw clearly, the tattoo on the woman's arm was indeed the icon of the smiling coffin guild, but it was not the same as the ordinary one, and a sharp sword was inserted diagonally on the half-opened coffin, which ran through the entire coffin.
And Sephiroth also spoke at this time: "Marika? Are you the Scarlet Marika? That Marika who has been chasing down the smiling coffin? ”
