The HP bar in the upper left corner of the line of sight has dropped to the extreme in the collision just now, and if it is attacked to the neck again, it will definitely die, right?

Still is...... I'm going to die.

Asuna whispered softly in her heart: However, she originally walked out of the hotel with the consciousness of dying in battle, and now she even has the proud record of the first-tier boss of the strategy, so she can be regarded as dying without regrets, right?

No......

It doesn't have to be really dead.

Death game or something,After all, it's just a side of Akihiko Kayaba.,Maybe after the HP goes to zero.,Will you return to the real world safely?

You can enjoy the love of your parents again, and you can enjoy the fun of learning knowledge in the classroom again...... That's your own life, isn't it?

So, it's not bad to die like this—

"Hey, let's talk. Are you going to die?"

As if deliberately teasing Asuna, when it was only a millimeter from her neck, the cloaked man took the short knife back, and let the girl fall on the grass and roll several times, but the girl's consciousness at this time seemed to be covered with a thick and heavy veil, and there was no reaction to his words.

However, at this moment, Asuna's heart suddenly became clear for a moment.

What happens when you die?

That person must be very sad, maybe even crying...... However, he can't cry, and standing in that position, he must not show any weak look.

And once he dies, it will also cause him considerable trouble, right?

The killing of the guild's image spokesperson, Asuna 'Flash', will surely reduce the reputation of the guild, right? It may even trigger a large-scale withdrawal......

"Brush!"

Asuna moved her neck just in time, and the short knife almost cut off her head, and a few strands of chestnut hair fluttered in the air, and then turned into glassy shards.

The short knife slashed through the air unexpectedly, and the cloaked man was surprised to find that two tears appeared on his face with the thin sword, and he immediately let out a strange bird-like shriek:

"Hah! Wowhaha! What, it's just a junior high school girl, isn't it? I cried out in fear! ”

"You...... I don't understand. ”

If the sword is gone, then use your hands! Asuna held down the short knife stuck in the soil with her hand, and her hazel-colored eyes with tears were full of stubbornness:

"I'm not crying, I'm just crying for another person."

"If you say this to me, I don't understand it! In short, go die! ”

The cloaked man pulled the dagger out of Asuna's hand, gripped the hilt with both hands, and stabbed straight at Asuna's heart without using any sword skills—

Already...... There is no way around it.

Asuna closed her eyes, but out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a blue figure appear in front of her—

Is it your own delusion?

Asuna's heart was filled with such a murmur, but in the next second, she saw the cloaked man being blasted out in a cloud of red sword light!

"Asuna ——!!"

The familiar voice made Asuna open her eyes again, and it was a reassuring face.

It's okay......

Even though the enemy is terrifyingly strong, when she sees this face, Asuna's heart is filled with such thoughts, fear, fear...... All negative emotions dissipated in an instant.

So when she saw that the person who came looked like she wanted to hug but didn't dare to hug, she unexpectedly showed a sly smile: "You can hug it, I've turned off the anti-harassment system." ”

Xia Qianshi hugged Asuna tightly out of control, and buried her head in her long chestnut hair that exuded a faint fragrance.

Being held tightly by Xia Qianshi, Asuna seemed to hear the sound of her bones rattling, a wonderful feeling, for the first time in the heart of this 16-year-old girl, she felt extremely happy in an instant.

But the HP value in the upper left corner was indeed decreasing, but she had to say: "If you continue to hold it like this, I guess I will become the first player to be strangled in "SAO". ”

"I'm sorry."

Xia Qianshi hurriedly let go of the girl in his arms, and while handing the other party a bottle of HP potion, he said, "You go to the back first to restore the HP, and leave it to me here!" ”

After speaking, when Xia Qianshi stood up and turned his back to Asuna, his face had become cold.

A large sword appeared in his hand, exuding an icy murderous intent.

"Boom-"

Almost at the same time as Asuna retreated, the ten men in black who were originally entangled with other players jumped to Xia Qianshi's side and surrounded him.

"Lord Brave, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The cloaked man's voice was full of pleasure, "I'd love to fight a master like you, but I'm sorry I'm here with a mission today, so please die under our siege!" ”

"You're so sure you're going to be able to eat me?" Putting the big sword behind his back back into his backpack, Xia Qianshi reached out and grasped it in the void, and a flying knife appeared in his hand.

"Of course, under the siege of 10 people, do you still think you can survive?"

"I think so......"

In SAO, there is no magic with a huge killing range, and although there are sword skills, most of them are only aimed at a single enemy.

With this in mind, even the distribution of monsters in the game is very scattered, and theoretically, it is impossible for the player to be surrounded by more than three monsters unless they encounter a level such as a trap.

If you are surrounded by more than three monsters, then unless the level suppression is huge, there is only one way to escape.

This is true when surrounded by monsters, and even more so when surrounded by players.

Ten elite players who have reached the level of the Raiders group, plus a cloaked man who doesn't know the depths, no matter how you look at it, this is a lore situation.

"Look, even you admit it, right?"

Hearing Xia Qianshi's words, a more presumptuous laugh came out of the cloaked man's mouth, but in the next second, his laughter was blocked in his throat.

Because Xia Qianshi said a sentence: "If I kill you first, then this dead end will not be broken, right?" ”

"Kill him!"

The cloaked man, whose face had turned gloomy, ordered.

Ten people besieged Xia Qianshi, and at the same time, Xia Qianshi also threw the flying knife in his hand towards the cloaked man-
