You're on vacation, and Hanxue is at work.

Gone are the days of daily watching!

November 8, 2024, Ayn Grant, 49th Floor, Mukeen, Kirito Doorstep.

Chu Yue knocked on the door, and there was a response from inside the house: "It's here!" ”

It was Kirito who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Chu Yue, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Chu Yue." ”

"yes." Chu Yue also smiled, "Tongzi ......"

As she spoke, Chu Yue took out a pink Lolita costume from the inventory: "This is my latest work, Kiriko come and ......"

Bang –

The door is closed......

Kiri's living room in the living room.

Chu Yue and Kirito sat face to face on the sofa in the living room.

"Really...... You guy, don't make this joke every time, okay? Kirito said helplessly.

"Don't worry." Chu Yue smiled and said, "One day, you will wear it obediently." ”

"Absolutely not!" Kirito said immediately.

"This FLAG is well established!" Chu Yue said.

At this time, Yuki came over and served a cup of tea to Chu Yue and Kirito.

"How did you come alone?" Kirito changed the subject and said, "Didn't Asuna come with you?" ”

"She still has the matter of the vice president, it seems that she wants to prepare for the next boss fight." Chu Yue said, "How is Kirito doing?" ”

Kirito glanced at Yuki, who was in the kitchen, smiled and said, "It's nothing." In the past, when Yuki was just on the front line, I guided Yuki's battles every day, but now Yuki's combat ability is getting higher and higher, and I need less guidance, and I have become a little more idle. ”

"Sounds so much happier than I am." Chu Yue drank tea and said.

"Who is it to fool, I know." Kirito smiled and said to Chu Yue, "You and Asuna are going on their honeymoon together, right?" ”

"Who said that!" Chu Yue said, "We're not married yet!" ”

"Huh? Not yet? Kirito was surprised, "But, but you're not already ......."

"......" Chu Yueke had never told Kirito that he had already lived with Asuna, but he immediately understood that it must have been passed on by the guys from the Blood Alliance.

"Those guys ......," Chu Yue said helplessly, "the tongue is really long." ”

You can't resent the members of the Blood Alliance.,Originally, this game was more men than women.,Women in the strategy group are even rarer.。 As the deputy head of the Blood Alliance, Asuna is not only capable of outstanding, but also has a first-class appearance, and must have been regarded as a goddess by the members of the Blood Alliance for a long time.

The goddess is with someone else, and it is understandable that the people of the blood alliance can't accept it.

It's just that it's only been one day, and it has reached Kirito, how deep is their resentment......

"We share an inventory, but we're not married." Chu Yue explained to Kirito and said, "Kirito, don't take hearsay as true. ”

"Haha, sorry, sorry." Kirito said with a smile and took a few sips of his teacup.

"Actually, this time, I have a very important matter to discuss with you." Chu Yue bent down slightly, and stopped smiling, looking very mysterious.

"Huh?" Kirito was stunned for a moment, and also said: "This is my house, there are no outsiders, what can Chu Yue ...... about?"

Before he finished speaking, Kirito saw Chu Yue glance at the kitchen.

Understanding what Chu Yue meant, Kirito thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Yuki, "Yuki! I went out with Chu Yue. ”

"Huh? Dinner is ready soon, are you going to leave now? Yuki asked as he walked out of the kitchen.

"We'll be back before dinner." Chu Yue said, "I also want to taste the current Xing's craftsmanship." ”

"Then go and come back quickly." Yuki smiled at the two of them and said.

Chu Yue and Kirito nodded, then looked at each other and walked towards the door together.

When he got out of the house, Kirito said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Find a place where no one is around." Chu Yue said, "Mu Keen is not as crowded as he was back then." ”

Although Mukean is still prosperous, there are many fewer players, and most of the streets are filled with NPCs.

Chu Yue and Kirito quickly found a coffee shop opened by the system, and there happened to be no player in it.

After sitting down, Chu Yue asked first, "Kirito, you should know Kayaba Jinghiko, right?" ”

Hearing that Chu Yue was the name of that person as soon as he opened his mouth, Kirito finally knew what Chu Yue was going to say.

"Once...... He's my idol. "After all, he created a VR device of the level of NERvGear, and he also developed the world of SAO, where we are now......"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Kirito would treat him as an idol......" Chu Yue smiled.

"It's all the past." Kirito explained lightly: "He is now the murderer who killed more than 3,000 people......"

"......" Chu Yue suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Kirito asked.

"Kirito, how much do you know about him?" Chu Yue asked.

"Before I got into the game, I read a lot about Akihiko Kayaba." Kirito said, "I haven't been in contact with him, but I guess I know about him." Why did Chu Yue suddenly ask about this? ”

"So, with Kirito, what do you know about him, where do you think he will be now?" Chu Yue asked.

"......" Kirito was silent for a moment, and then said, "In real life, he should be monitored by state agencies......

"If that were the case, he would have been coerced into developing a remedial program long ago and then saving us from this world."

"Maybe he's not cooperating at all."

"It's possible." Chu Yue said, "Because of this matter, the state organs will not treat him like this, and want him to cooperate, but if he doesn't cooperate, he can only be detained like that." ”

"But ......," Kirito said, "if these are things that Akihiko Aoba had planned a long time ago, how could he not have predicted what he would encounter in reality......"

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"......" Kirito lowered his head and thought about it after Chu Yue's reminder, and after his brain turned rapidly, Kirito finally understood:

"That guy, he's right here!!"

Kirito said in a low, yet frightened tone.

Chu Yue nodded, "Actually, I think so too. ”

"But ......," Kirito said, "there are so many players, who will be Akihiko Kayaba......"

However, Chu Yue suddenly said, "It doesn't seem to be early, let's go back." ”

"Huh?"

"Go back to dinner." Chu Yue said to Kirito.

I don't understand why Chu Yue said that he wanted to go back at this time, but Kirito still nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Oh yes." The two were just about to leave, but Chu Yue asked Kirito: "Did you watch the duel between me and Heathcliff?" ”

"That'......" Kirito suddenly said with emotion, "I didn't expect it to be so hot, and by the time we went to buy tickets, there were only super-high-priced tickets left for scalpers." ”

"Speechless......" Chu Yue said.

"However, although I didn't go to see it live, I did buy the front row of players to record the duel video props." Kirito said, "Your duel is so exciting. ”

"Although I took out the skill of pressing the bottom of the box, I still couldn't defeat him." Chu Yue looked a little helpless and said.

"But didn't you say later that it was a show to catch the remnants of the smiling coffin?" Kirito asked.

"It's a show, but there's no moisture in the duel." Chu Yue said, "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Kirito nodded.

When I returned to Kirito's house, I happened to have already made dinner. After dinner, Chu Yue didn't stay and left directly.

Late at night, Kirita and Yuki slept in the same bed.

Yuki had closed his eyes and fell asleep, but Kirito couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Chu Yue's words before dinner made Kirito feel that Chu Yue meant something.

The battle between Chu Yue and Heathcliff......

Kirito couldn't sleep, so he got out of bed and went back to the living room.

The prop that recorded the video of the battle between Chuyue and Heathcliff was taken out of the warehouse at home, and Kirito played it again.

Because it is an advanced video recording prop, you can slide the perspective when watching the video, and it can be zoomed in and out.

After carefully watching the battle between Chu Yue and Heathcliff again, Kirito leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and simulated his battle with Heathcliff in his mind.

Kirito's mind seemed to have a huge Colosseum, and he and Heathcliff stood in the middle of it.

The only way to deal with Heathcliff's [Divine Sword] is to break the defense.

So, he wielded his one-handed sword and kept speeding up his attack in order to break the defense......

Heathcliff's combat ability is not weaker than his own, his defensive ability is extremely strong, and at the same time he takes into account the attack, and he will definitely send out several shield counters.

However, with a speed similar to Chu Yue's, he must be able to dodge as well.

Although there is no second sword, his attack speed is also very fast......

Use your sword skills to create an opportunity to break the Holy Sword......

Attack, attack, attack, defense, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, dodge, attack......

Broken defense!

Kirito finally broke through Heatscliffe's defenses, and—

Bang!

It was obviously broken, but Kirito's next attack was still defended by Heathcliff at a very fast speed, just like the sword aura of Chu Yue in the video.

After defending against Kirito's attack, Heathcliff stabbed Kirito directly with a sword, and Kirito, who didn't have time to dodge, was stabbed by Kirites.

Lost......

Kirito opened his eyes.

"I see...... Kirito muttered to himself, "Is it Heathcliff......"

……

November 9, 2024, Al Ayn Grant, 75th Floor, Corinia.

The members of the Raiders group gathered in the transfer square for a combat meeting.

Just yesterday, someone found the location of the castle boss on the seventy-fifth floor.

So, led by the Blood Alliance, a team of twenty people formed by the players of the guild of the five raider groups went to test the boss.

First, ten people entered the boss room, and the remaining ten people waited outside the door for support, but just as the previous ten people walked to the center of the room, the entrance door suddenly closed.

This means that such a room is one of the few places where transfer crystals cannot be used.

After five minutes, the door could finally open again. But the boss and the player are gone.

It's clear: the player dies and the boss is hiding again.

The ten people in the back didn't dare to enter the room again, so they came back to report.

In such a situation, there is no way to test the boss's attack method as before, and then discuss the optimal way to play the boss.

Only all the members of the strategy group can enter the boss room together.,Adapt.,Relying on everyone's mutual cooperation.,Forcibly attack the boss.。

Therefore, there are a lot of people in the transfer square now, and almost all the members of the strategy team of about fifty people are present.

Even including Achill, who rarely comes to participate in the raider battle because he usually runs a grocery store, Klein, the president of the guild Wind Forest Volcano, and Kirito, a lone player and his wife.

Of course, there are also the deputy heads of the Blood Alliance, Asuna and Chu Yue.

Although it is said to be a battle meeting, it is just that everyone finds their own companions, and after entering the boss room, they must protect each other and cooperate with each other.

This time, the commander-in-chief is not Asuna, but the deputy head of the Blood Alliance, Heathcliff.

As known as the strongest man, he was of course the last to arrive - with a few other high-ranking members of the Blood Alliance.

The large cloister crystallization at the entrance to the boss's room is also kept by Heathcliff.

After coming here and seeing that the people were almost there, Heathcliff held up the cloister crystal: "The cloister, open!" ”

"Alright, let's go!" After speaking, Heathcliff was the first to enter the new portal opened by the cloister crystal.

After everyone reaches the door of the boss's room through the portal, the portal disappears.

"Everyone, are you ready?" "Basically, our Blood Alliance Knights will act as the vanguard, withstanding the boss's attacks, and the rest of the people will attack as flexibly as possible. ”

"It may be a tough battle, but I believe that with the strength of all of you, we will win in the end."

Heathcliff glanced at all the members and uttered the last words of encouragement as the commander: "For the day of liberation!" ”

"Oh!!!"

Everyone shouted out together.

The door to the boss's room slowly opened.

"All the rare people are gone." Chu Yue said.

"Don't die." Kirito said.

"Hah! You are! Klein said.

"I'm not going to die until I make a fortune with today's loot." Aegil said.

"No one will die!" Yuki said.

"Everyone, come on!" Asuna said.

The door to the boss's room is finally fully opened.

"Fight, begin!" Heathcliff yelled and rushed into the boss room first.

"Whew!!" The others yelled and rushed into the boss room with Heathcliff.

As with the Intelligence, the door to the boss room closes after everyone has rushed into the boss room.

However, after half a ring, there is still no shadow of the boss.

The first to discover the boss was Asuna.

"On it!" Asuna shouted.

A massive, centipede-like, but bone-like monster shuddered its sharp blades and stared at the group of players below.

Its skull was as long as a slippery head, and it had four black eyes, but the eyes were red pupils, and there were several bone fragments on its neck that were constantly fanning.

Its terrifying appearance frightened some timid people to tremble all at once.

"Bones?" Klein said incredulously.

The boss suddenly let out a sharp bone grinding sound, and the five health bars next to his head were displayed, and then he rushed to the ground.

"Don't get together! Distance! "I don't know how many people will be killed if such a huge monster falls, and Heathcliff, as the commander, immediately shouted.

However, those who reacted quickly had already run around, and only those who were so frightened that they couldn't move remained in place.

"Run!" Kirito immediately shouted at the person who was still in place.

The timid ones finally reacted, struggled to control their bodies, and turned and ran.

However, before he could run far, the boss had already fallen to the ground and swung directly at two of them with his bone blade.

The two players were directly stopped and cut off, and at the same time as the attack area with a light red grid remaining in the middle of their bodies, they were knocked to Chu Yue's side.

Chu Yue and the others just wanted to step forward to catch these two people, but these two people had already turned into pieces.

Everyone was stunned.

The attack power of the boss is indeed very high, but a normal attack can kill the members of the raider group in seconds, which is too scary!

"One, one blow ......?" Klein said.

"Really, heavens......" Achill said.

Although what Achill said seemed to be a stalk, at this time, everyone was afraid of this boss, and no one complained about him.

The boss is speeding towards the player again, but, at this moment-

Heathcliff raised his shield and quickly rushed forward, blocking the boss's attack with a thud.

However, the boss's attack did not stop at all, and another bone blade swung towards the other players again, and immediately another member left the raiders group forever.

Moreover, after completing the attack, the boss did not stop, and the countless feet made of bones moved together and ran around the room at a rapid pace.

Movement speed is also blazing!

Not only is the attack power scary, but the movement is also incredible!

"Damn!" Kirito roared and rushed forward.

Following Kirito, the other members of the strategy team also roared together and rushed forward.

Chu Yue also rushed forward, but at this time, he was the only one who remained calm at this time.

The other, of course, is Heatscliffe.

In fact, such a boss also has a corresponding way to play. Although the boss moves and attacks very high, it has a long body, and as long as a few players hold a shield and others grasp the attack on the side, they can quickly kill the boss.

It's a pity,This kind of play can only be used under the premise that the player has discussed it in advance.,Now the players in the strategy group are encountering this boss for the first time.,How to fight can only be explored in actual combat.。

Fortunately, the members of the strategy team are all experienced people, and after a few rounds, they finally know the correct way to play.

However, it is impossible to explain, and it is up to each player to discover the correct way to play and then cooperate.

During this period, I don't know how many players in the strategy group died.

Again and again, under the crazy attack, the boss's health bar finally dropped to zero.

Congratulations！！

After the boss dies, a huge system prompt appears in the air.

However, after this victory, not a single player cheered.

After the boss died, everyone except Heathcliff sat on the ground, and the mental and physical exhaustion made everyone gasp directly on the ground.

Kirita Kazuki, Chu Yue and Asuna, these two pairs sat on the ground back to back to each other, and some of the others were lying directly on the ground, some were lying on their stomachs, and some were leaning against the wall alone.

I don't know how long it took for someone to speak.

Klein asked, "How many people died?" ”

As a good friend of Klein's, Kirito swiped the system menu, looked at the team list, and replied, "Dead...... Fourteen ......"

"No......" Achill said incredulously.

"There's twenty-five floors in the back......" Klein said.

"Can we really get to the top?" Achill followed.

At this time, Achill's words spoke everyone's hearts.

How difficult will the boss be in the future? The members of the strategy group can't afford such consumption!

At this time, everyone who was originally in a depressed mood seemed to have a huge stone mountain on their backs, their faces were full of confidence in the future, and their shoulders seemed to have lost their strength.

Looking around, Chu Yue actually wanted to say: "Everyone, let's have a game of Gwent cards!" ”

But it is obvious that except for Chu Yue, everyone else doesn't understand what the Gwent card is, so it's useless to say it.

At this time, Kirito suddenly noticed that the only one was still standing there Heathcliff.

His health bar was still green, just not yellow.

The battle between himself and Heathcliff that he simulated last night suddenly came to mind, and at the same time, he remembered the conversation between Chu Yue and himself last night, as well as the duel between Chu Yue and Heathcliff.

Kirito suddenly had a bold idea in his head.

Yuki didn't notice, Kirito clenched the interpreter in his hand, and then rushed towards Heathcliff.

When everyone, including Heathcliff himself, didn't notice, Kirito's sword stabbed directly into Heathcliff's head.

And yet—

Immortal Object

In front of Heathcliff's head, this hexagonal system prompt blocks Kirito's sword.

"Kirito, what are you doing ......!!" Yuki just wanted to come over to stop Kirito, and then, like the others, found the hexagonal system tooltip in front of Heatscliffe.

Immortal Object, which is not a system prompt that a player has.

Although Kirito's move caused public anger at once, the hint in front of Heathcliff was even more shocking.

"The immortal ...... of the system," Asuna, who was the deputy head of the Blood Alliance, said in disbelief, "What's going on...... Regiment Commander ......"

"This man's health bar will never turn yellow." Kirito said, "It's because he's protected by the system." ”

Everyone looked this way.

"Last night, Chu Yue suddenly came to talk to me." Kirito said, "He and I discussed where Akihiko Kayaba was watching and watching us. ”

"After Chu Yue went back, I watched the video of the battle between him and Captain Heathcliff again, and after watching it again, I still couldn't find anything boring, until I substituted myself into Chu Yue and felt the duel with Captain Heathcliff."

When Kirito said this, Heathcliff looked at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue shrugged at Heathcliff, and then nodded.

Meaning, he didn't expect Kirito to take such a measure, but he was the player that Chu Yue found to duel with Heathcliff.

"In the end, a conclusion was reached." Kirito said, "Captain Hitzcliff, you are, that man, Akihiko Kayaba. ”

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, when Kirito finally said the name, the others were stunned.
