Chapter 36 The Changing Tide
"Whew!"
The monster behind him turned into pieces and dissipated, He Yuan put the sword on his back, looked around, found a place to sit down, took out a torch, and began to roast meat.
It has been more than two months since He Yuan was separated from Asuna.
In the end, He Yuan and Asuna didn't even have Christmas together, let alone the New Year.
During this time, except for the time when He Yuan would return to the town when he was replenished, the rest of the time was spent in the process of killing monsters and leveling.
Now, He Yuan's level has reached level forty, the strength of his body has doubled, and the one-handed sword mastery has reached two hundred, and there are two more skills that can be controlled, overall, He Yuan's strength now is at least three times stronger than two months ago.
During this time, He Yuan was not the only one who made progress, many player guilds rose, and the game officially entered the era of a hundred schools of thought.
First of all, the most brilliant is none other than Heathcliff, the head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.
Dressed in bright red robes, a long sword in the shape of a cross, holding a huge white cross shield, the first appearance was in the fifth layer of the raiders of the BOSS, in the fifteenth layer of the boss strategy battle, not only defended all the boss's attacks, the boss suffered, at least one-fifth of the damage suffered by the boss came from him.
Secondly, it is Asuna, who is the deputy head of the group, and at present, Asuna has been attacked on the eighteenth floor, and Asuna has participated in at least the fourteenth floor, all of which have good performances, a fast sword, a ruthless spirit that dares to fight, and a beautiful face, which is crowned with the title of "flash".
After that, it's Kirito.
Because of the ill feelings of ordinary players towards the original closed beta players, as a semi-public closed beta player among high-level players, Kirito is strong and strong, but he is still alone.
However, judging from the strategies of the fifth, sixth, tenth, thirteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth layer bosses he participated in, the strength should not be underestimated.
These three people are recognized by all players today as the strongest three.
As for He Yuan, although He Yuan is there every time Asuna participates in the battle of the Raiders, except for Asuna when she is in danger, He Yuan will take action to stop the boss, and the rest of the time is basically paddling, which also makes everyone think that He Yuan has "disappeared from everyone".
However, not everyone thinks so, at least, Argo, Asuna, and Kirito, who knows some information from Argo, all know that He Yuan alone has attacked the eighth, fourteenth, and seventeenth layer of the guard boss.
In addition to individuals, the most popular ones are guilds.
Among them, the Blood Alliance Knights are the most active, and the head of the regiment now has a total of six people, and under the leadership of "Flash" Asuna, they have participated in more than ten layers of boss raids, and their reputation is the highest.
Secondly, it is the "Knights" guild composed of Diabel, who participated in the boss strategy of the third, sixth, tenth, and eighteenth floors, and because of the proper command, no one was killed or injured, and its reputation among players was very high, and it chased the Knights of the Blood Alliance.
After that, it is the Green Army, known as the "Folding Ayngrunt Liberation Army", which is also called the "army" by everyone due to its militarized management, and its leader is a middle-aged man named "Xinka", who has attacked the third-level guard boss "Demon Tree Spirit Nerius" alone, and the seventh-level guard boss.
It's just that due to the uneven strength of the players in the "army", although they all succeeded in the end, they also sacrificed some people, and now, Xinka led the remaining players back to the town of Origin to recuperate.
After that, there is a guild called the "Holy Dragon Alliance", but the current "Holy Dragon Alliance" is not even comparable to the "army", and there is no record that can be used.
In addition to these, the only players who can be remembered are those who can enter the "strategy group", and there are only a few people such as Akyll and others.
……
"Cross Hill", this is a leveling point on the nineteenth layer of Ayn Grant, and it is also where He Yuan is currently located.
Extinguish the torch, pick up the sword, and bite directly at the "barbecue" on the sword.
After more than two months of solo travel, He Yuan also discovered that if he didn't "prop" the cooked meat, although it didn't taste like this, it was much better than the "burnt barbecue" after propping.
Leaning against a crooked dwarf tree on the top of the hill, He Yuan pondered while eating.
Now, I am mainly leveling up, or sword skills.
He Yuan's strength mainly comes from the enhancement of himself by upgrading, as well as the improvement brought by digesting the "sword technique".
If possible, He Yuan wants to upgrade and exercise, but this is impossible.
First of all, if you choose to upgrade, the monsters in the maze area definitely get the most experience.
With the experience that He Yuan needs to level up now, he can basically level up by brushing it in the maze area for a week.
However, if it is in the labyrinth area, there are many monsters, and the strength is not weak, it is impossible for He Yuan to use the unskilled "sword technique" in it, and it will not be able to achieve the effect of training at all.
In the case of leveling points in the outside world, the damage of monsters is not high, and He Yuan can concentrate on exercising the "sword skills" that he can control, even if he makes a mistake and wanders, there will be no danger.
Recently, He Yuan's one-handed sword mastery has reached two hundred, and he has unlocked two sword skills, "Horizontal Slash" and "Oblique Slash".
Unlike "Sonic Impact" and "Deadly Strike", these two sword skills do not advance.
However, this does not mean that "horizontal slash" and "oblique slash" are easier to learn than the first two.
Generally speaking, the basic movements of the sword are nine types: stabbing, splitting, teasing, hanging, pointing, collapsing, cutting, cutting, and clouding.
"Sonic impact" belongs to flirting, "fatal strike" belongs to thorning, "horizontal slash" belongs to clouds, and "oblique slash" belongs to snipping.
Now, He Yuan's own "fatal attack" and "sonic impact" have four layers of fire in the system, but this is only limited to "stabbing" and "teasing", if these two actions are put aside, He Yuan is stronger than other players, and only the body is the body.
Thinking about the trouble encountered by the seventeenth layer of the Raiders guarding the BOSS, He Yuan swallowed the last bite of barbecue, stood up, looked at the sunset that was gradually sliding in the sky, and showed a smile.
Didn't you already find the answer to this question when you chose to come here instead of going to the labyrinth area?
Whether it was escaping from Ilfang, or resolutely changing into a novice cloth in front of Asuna, or suddenly using the "Killing Attack" that overlapped twice when he was on the second layer, or coming here now, it was the body that arrived first, and he figured it out last.
Other people are honest in their mouths, so should they be called upright in their hearts?
