Chapter 136: An Insurmountable Gap
Early the next morning, Ling Yun appeared early at a waypoint on the 50th floor, because he had said that he would help Asuna solve the matter of Kratir, and the two made an appointment to meet here.
"Why hasn't Asuna come yet, could it be that she has been entangled by that Kraidir?" Ling Yun looked at the big bell on the tower and said with a frown.
Just as Ling Yun was about to go to Asuna's rented house to find her, a somewhat anxious voice suddenly came: "Ah, be careful, Ling Yun, get out of the way!" ”
Ling Yun turned his head to see that a dark shadow was rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Ling Yun could see at a glance that the figure rushing towards him was Asuna, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands and caught Asuna's body. Then he took Asuna around in a circle, unloading the impact from her.
"What's wrong, Asuna?" When Asuna stood still, Ling Yun asked a little strangely.
"He's coming!" Asuna saw a burst of light rising from the teleportation point, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort and hid behind Ling Yun.
Ling Yun frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the teleportation point. At the waypoint, a tall figure appeared. Although the man looked very tall, his face was stiff and rough, as if it had been painted by the painter when he was dozing off. Coupled with the expression of a gloomy face all day long, and the sense of superiority looming in his eyes, people can't have the slightest good feeling.
Cratier scanned the crowd and quickly found Asuna's location and strode in her direction. Asuna shrank when she saw Kratir approaching, trying to block his vision with Lingyun's body. However, it was clear that Kratir was not obscured by Asuna's movements, but walked over to Asuna's side.
"Lord Asuna, please don't be so willful, come back to the guild headquarters with me!" Kraidier said as he walked.
"I don't want it, what's more, how can you be in ambush at my door so early?" There was a hint of anger in Asuna's eyes.
"I've been expecting this to happen for a long time, and I've been in charge of keeping an eye on Lord Asuna in Sermubroke for some time now." Kladir said with a nonchalant expression.
"This, it can't be the regiment commander's instructions!" Asuna's tone was already tinged with anger.
"My mission is to protect Lord Asuna, and of course the surveillance of the mansion is also included!" Cradir argued eloquently.
"That's not included, stupid!" Asuna was close to going berserk.
"Please don't say such wayward things!" Cradir sighed and stopped in front of Asuna, "Come, let's go with my headquarters!" ”
Cladir said, reaching out to grab Asuna's hand, completely ignoring Ling Yun, who was beside Asuna. It's a pity that before his hand touched Asuna, he was held by the other hand, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"I'm sorry, the deputy head of your family, I gave you a bag today. I'm in charge of her safety! Ling Yun grabbed Kratir's hand and slowly raised it, and then threw it out, his tone was very indifferent. Besides, I've already understood, there is no activity in your Blood Alliance Knights today, so you might as well go back to the headquarters by yourself! ”
"What are you kidding, can a lone player like you, a vulnerable fellow, be up to the side of Lord Asuna? I'm a member of the glorious Knights of the Blood Alliance, what are you! Cradil's face was angry, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Ling Yun.
"Lord Asuna, you are the representative of our Blood Alliance Knights, and mixing with such a small character of unknown origin will affect your image! Moreover, this kind of lone player only cares about his own life and death, and there is absolutely nothing good about being involved with this kind of person! Kradil's gaze turned to Asuna.
"Cladir!" Seeing Kratil slandering Ling Yun like this, Asuna only felt a flame called anger rising in her heart, and even in her tone, there was a faint hint of anger, which was rare for Asuna, who was usually very good-tempered.
"At least better than you!" Ling Yun's tone was still so indifferent, and he couldn't hear a trace of fluctuation. But behind Ling Yun, Asuna felt an oppressive depression forming around Ling Yun.
"Since you have spoken wildly, you must prove it with your enlightenment!" Kladir trembled with anger from Ling Yun's tone, called up his character panel, and launched a one-on-one challenge to Ling Yun.
Looking at the information that appeared in front of him, the corners of Ling Yun's mouth pulled into a disdainful smile, and his eyes looked at Asuna beside him.
Asuna nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will report to our head this time!" ”
Ling Yun nodded slightly and accepted the invitation to the duel.
Seeing that Ling Yun accepted the invitation to the duel, Kratir showed a sinister smile and took out his long sword: "Look, Lord Asuna, I will prove to you that no one but me can be your guard." Boy, I'll show you the difference between a strategy group and an idle player! ”
Looking at Kraidir's appearance, Asuna shook her head slightly, this Kladir, he hasn't understood what a powerful legend he is standing opposite him! I hope he doesn't get hit too badly!
Seeing that there was a duel, and one of the parties was still a member of the Blood Alliance Knights, the players in the vicinity gathered and watched the battle with curiosity. And in this group of players, there is also a man in a cape.
"Where's your weapon?" Kraidier put on a sword technique, looked at Ling Yun with empty hands in front of him, and asked in a loud voice.
"Against you, I don't need to use my weapon yet!" Ling Yun waved his hand.
Listening to Ling Yun's words, Kratir's head jumped violently, and Ling Yun's words obviously didn't take him seriously.
"You can be proud, when the duel begins, I will let you experience what fear is." Kladir roared inwardly.
With a "ding" sound, time returned to zero, and Kladil roared, waved the long sword in his hand, and used his strongest sword skill to slash at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, clenched his right fist and slammed it straight at Kraider's long sword. Seeing Ling Yun's movements, the corners of Kraidier's mouth couldn't help but hook up a hideous smile. One sword, just one sword, you can cut this damn guy under the sword!
The long sword collided with Ling Yun's fist, and there was a violent roar. Kradir only felt a terrifying force coming from his sword, and he staggered back a few steps. Ling Yun stood in place, smiling sarcastically at Kratir.
"This, this bastard!" Kladir gritted his teeth, but heard the click of his sword.
"This, this is ......" Kladil looked at the longsword in his hand in amazement, countless cracks appeared in the longsword, and then it exploded into shards.
"It's amazing, just one move, and it destroys his weapon!" The onlookers watched this scene and couldn't help but talk about it.
"What is the origin of this person, just smashing that person's long sword with his fist, his strength is too strong!"
"I remember, this person is the captain of the God Squad, Phantom Sword Lingyun!" Someone in the crowd recognized Ling Yun's identity.
"Phantom Sword Lingyun? Then it's no wonder, it's normal for someone like him to have such a strong strength! ”
"There is really an insurmountable gap between the two of them!"
After understanding Ling Yun's identity, the onlookers expressed their understanding of this seemingly incredible situation, after all, the combat effectiveness of the God Squad was comparable to that of the entire Raider Group. Moreover, there had been a matter before where Ling Yun and his party easily knocked down all the people united by the Holy Dragon.
"Why, do you want to continue?" Ling Yun looked at Kraidier.
"Damn it, don't get too complacent!" Kladir roared, and once again a long sword appeared in his hand, rushing down in the direction of Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's response to Kratir's behavior was also very simple, directly smashing it with a punch, once again smashing the weapon in his hand to pieces.
"Damn it!" Once again, a long sword appeared in Kradir's hand, slashing at Ling Yun.
In Ling Yun's eyes, Kratir's approach was no different from a mad dog in a hurry. Just as he was about to smash the long sword in his hand to pieces again, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and with a wave of the thin sword in his hand, it swept the long sword in Kradil's hand away.
"Enough, Kraidier, you've already lost!" Asuna slowly withdrew her longsword and said in a deep voice.
"Wait, Lord Asuna, this duel definitely doesn't count, this damn guy must have played some kind of trick, otherwise, why would he be able to smash my weapon with his bare hands?" Kraidier argued anxiously. "If you stay with such a despicable and shameless person, I am really worried about your safety and reputation."
"Enough, Kraider!" Seeing Cladier belittled Ling Yun again and again, Asuna's anger completely exploded, and the chill in her tone made Cladil shiver.
"That, Asuna-sama!" Kraider was about to say more, but Asuna interrupted him.
"Kladir, in my capacity as the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights, I order you to be relieved of the escort mission from today until other orders are issued, and then return to the guild headquarters to stand by, over!" A chill seeped through Asuna's tone.
What Cladil has done today has completely exceeded her bottom line. Not to mention the disparaging remarks about Ling Yun, the words and deeds of his despised lone player alone were enough to deal a serious blow to the reputation that the Blood Alliance Knights had built up for so long. You know, in this world, the lone traveler is the most, and if they unite against the Blood Alliance Knights, then the Blood Alliance Knights are finished. Faced with this situation, Asuna could only treat her former subordinate harshly.
"What, that ......" Kratil had no idea that Asuna would give him such an order.
"Huh?" Asuna glanced at him.
Cradir instantly felt a terrifying aura weigh heavily on him, leaving him speechless. This feeling he had never felt even when he faced Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights.
Eventually, he sighed, activated the teleportation crystal, and disappeared into the plaza like a defeated rooster.
After Kraidir vanished, the cloaked man in the crowd of onlookers smiled mysteriously and turned away. The man's gloved hand peeked out of the cloak, and on the glove, there was a strange sign, an eerie pattern of a distorted smiling face painted on a black coffin.
