Chapter 22: The Smiling Coffin
The Orange Guild, a criminal guild that kills people for fun after the game's death.
And the "Laughing coffin" that Yuki is facing now has a notoriety that other small and medium-sized orange guilds can't match, and almost every member has more than ten players on their hands.
They are known for their madness and recklessness, and they also have the strength to be feared by the Frontline Raiders.
Its leader, the black-robed player standing at the forefront, is known as "POH", a man who constantly tempts players with low wills to fall, which can be said to be the main reason for the appearance of orange players.
β¦β¦
"You're done! The shame you brought to me at that time, I would have been tenfold! A hundredfold of it will be returned to you! β
Standing in the middle of the black-robed people, the Tooth King shouted a little madly, and tried his best to encourage the Orange Guild and collect information to design this situation, isn't it just for this moment?
This is his revenge!
Ignoring this man who was stupid enough to fall into the abyss, Yuki glanced at the shrinking encirclement and drew his weapon with a blank face.
οΌβ¦β¦ About thirty or so? It seems that almost all of them are dispatched, and it really looks up to me. οΌ
With so many orange players dispatched for one person, I'm afraid that the entire Ayn Grant has 'enjoyed' this treatment.
"POH, that little girl is our target this time?"
"It's too much fuss, isn't it?"
After taking a sip, the red-eyed cadre said disdainfully.
This combat power can almost go to annihilate a medium-sized guild.
βHeyοΌ Sasa! She's the top player in the strategy group, and judging the strength of the other party by appearance is the stupidest behavior. β
Speaking in a strange way, standing on the other side of the poh, the hooded man who should also be a cadre-level man tossed the knife in his hand and reminded.
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, like Johnny said. β
With a smirk, Poh didn't continue, but took two steps forward and announced to Yuki in the tone of a victor.
"This should be our first meeting, right?" President of Arcadia. β
"How about this gift that my subordinates have prepared for you, are you satisfied?"
You know, if the target this time is just an ordinary player, Poh won't be interested at all, let alone pay attention to a little person like the Tooth King who is easily bewitched by him.
But hunting the strongest female player in SAO has a different meaning, and is there a more suitable 'activity' to establish their strongest orange guild?
ββ¦β¦β
"It's a boring performance."
With a sigh, Yuki, who had a look of 'disgust', made his own evaluation of Poh's 'gift'.
If she had just entered the game, she might have been a little 'surprised', but right now, it's really just a hassle for her.
The kind of trouble that you have to solve.
"Huh."
After shrugging his shoulders and sneering at this answer, Poh didn't care, but instead admired Yuki's attitude.
This calmness really doesn't match her appearance.
Obviously, he seems to be not very old in reality, but he has a more mature and determined mind than ordinary people.
But the more this happens, the more valuable it is to 'hunt', right?
Licking his lips, the man smiled bloodthirsty.
It's just that here, Poh is showing the basic qualities of being a villain boss, but a certain clown can't tolerate Yuki's calmness.
In his script, what he sees now should be the girl's reaction to panic, fear, and being consumed by despair.
So he spoke.
It's like a qualified trash fish turning on the protagonist's switch.
ββ¦β¦ Hmph, are you still pretending to be calm? β
"You think that's the end of my revenge?"
"It's not enough! After killing you, your guild, your friends, we will get rid of them all, this is the real way to play this game! Hahahaha-"
Laughing and indulging in his delusions, the Tooth King shouted at the Orange Guild members.
"Kill her!"
Dozens of black shadows couldn't hold it back, and rushed towards Yuki with a strange scream, not noticing the girl's gloomy and terrifying expression after hearing the Tooth King's revealing purpose.
The temperature plummeted, and the air seemed to stop flowing.
Something 'data' is starting to change.
βββοΌοΌοΌβ
Under the feet of the girl in the center of the encirclement, dots of ice crystal-like particles gradually appeared on the grass.
More than half of his black hair had turned blonde, and his eyes had completely turned pink.
It is true that it is possible to change the hair color in SAO, but the scene in front of them is beyond their comprehension.
Facing the smiling casket members who stopped in their tracks in shock at their changes, the girl lowered her head and lowered her voice.
"Is this really how this game works......"
"Then I don't have to keep my hands on you murderous hedonists, do I?"
The words that seemed to be talking to himself fell, and Yuki's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
The next moment, one of the orange players lowered his head and stared blankly at the blade that passed through him.
"The first."
These are the last words heard by the murderer who was bewitched by the prince of hell.
***********************************************************************************************************************
- The fifty-fifth floor of "Ayn Grant", the iron capital "Gransom".
The main block, with a huge spire as the main building, is located here for the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.
Just now, they received eyewitness information from the lower branch that the Orange Guild was in a big move.
"Captain! Is it true that what was just reported? The people of the "Smiling Coffin" ambushed the president of "Arcadia" in the forest on the twenty-second floor?! β
Hearing the information reported by the team members, the axe warrior with a messy hairstyle slapped the table with some excitement and got up, and confirmed loudly to Heathcliff on the main seat.
"Calm down, Godlif."
Accustomed to the voice of his own cadre, Heathcliff pressed his right hand and motioned for him to sit back.
"However, we finally found the clues of those bastards, and they are still attacking the main members of the front line of the raiders, shouldn't we go to encircle and rescue them immediately?!"
Although he sat down with his hands folded, Heathcliff's calmness still made him incomprehensible.
"Kirito has already gone for this matter."
"Deputy Commander?!"
"This is the first time that the kid didn't report it to me, leaving only a message of 'I still owe her a life' and hurried to the lower floors."
With a wry smile, Heatscliff added.
"And it's not just our deputy head of the regiment, although I don't know who is helping to deliver the news, but most of the front-line teams have already gone to the twenty-second floor after knowing about it."
Speaking of this, Heathcliff couldn't help but sigh that the eldest ladies of "Arcadia" are so popular.
"Haha, those guys are pretty fast, aren't they? Worthy of our "pro-guards"! β
The big man, who was slightly relieved, slapped his thigh and grinned, completely unaware of what seemed to be exposed.
ββ¦β¦β
"Mr. Godlif, please explain to me about this 'pro-guard' in the future."
"Forehead ......"
(Hehe, does she really need rescue...... οΌ
Hands clasped together, and in the squeak of his hands, Heatscliff seemed to have a premonition of something.
