The red light tore through the darkness of the sky, the clinking of swords echoed, and in that fleeting light, a rapier danced with death.

Bang –

The silver thin sword trembled from the massive impact, and it was covered with two or three cracks, winding like a snake, spreading from the middle of the sword to the hilt, as if it would shatter in the next second.

In the gray perspective, a thin white frame swayed, and the strip of 1 centimeter was already four-fifths transparent.

"There are 20% durability left."

A deep voice accompanied by a whirring pant cast a haze over the tranquil wilderness.

The right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, the weeds under his feet were trampled and bent, and the blue blood trough had been reduced by half.

But even so, Zeyi's face was still full of excitement, and within Amber's eyes was a raging fire.

The feel brought in SAO is stronger than all the games that Zeyi has played before. Looking at the bison, he finally felt the excitement he hadn't felt for a long time again.

"Goodbye, Trembling· Ox”

The cracked dagger rattled across the ground, a flushed sheen shimmering in it, striking like a waning moon, hitting the bison's thick neck.

With Trembling· Ox's "moo" roar, and the black polygonal shards disperse with the wind, and Zeyi gains some koll and experience.

These are like pouring a bottle of water into a vat for a huge experience tank, and they have little effect.

More than this, Zeyi is more concerned about his bet with Achill.

The sword was unsheathed with a bang, and was pinned to the thin back with the white right hand.

"I don't know what happened to Achill."

Zeyi muttered a guess about the giant man and turned to look.

The two axes crossed and attacked the buffalo, and the strong force forced the buffalo to retreat, followed by a beautiful slash that killed the buffalo.

Achill, who pinned his axes to his back, turned around just in time to see Zeyi looking at him.

"Isn't this Zeyi? How many have you killed. ”

"Eleven, twelve...... No, no, it's thirteen. ”

The uncertain reply made Achill very confused, and his right hand, which was touching his head, slowed down unconsciously, and he said in a puzzled voice: "Could it be that Zeyi is the one who ranks last in the grade in every math test?"

Zeyi's face became gloomy because of these words.

"I shouldn't be convinced!"

"No kidding! How could someone as calculating as me be bad at math. ”

In order to correct the misconception that was forming in Achill's mind, Zeyi said loudly: "When I level up, I will devote myself to it and enjoy it."

"I see, it looks a little similar to Kirito-kun!"

"Don't talk about that, how many bison did you kill?"

"No more, no less, fourteen."

"Really?"

Suspicious eyes filled Zeyi's eyes, and he didn't believe what Akyl said.

If his path is to increase his leveling speed by "non-stop sideways dodging" and "attracting 2 monsters at the same time", then Achill uses "power" to quickly kill monsters in suppression.

In terms of security between the two of them, it is naturally Achill's safer. He doesn't need to dodge the monster at all, he can catch the prelude to the monster's attack and interrupt it in time, which is undoubtedly much safer.

In contrast, Zeyi, who needs to do extremely dangerous maneuvers (sideways), undoubtedly has a much higher risk factor.

However, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and Zeyi, who has lost his safety, must be faster than Achill in leveling.

In the face of Zeyi's forced gaze, a sigh of admitting defeat came from Achill's mouth, "Okay, you won." ”

To be honest, after seeing Zeyi's superb and dangerous leveling methods, Achill instinctively felt that he was doomed.

He just lied, not because he couldn't afford to lose, but because there was always an ominous premonition that drove him to get away with it.

However, he was still discovered by the shrewd Zeyi, and he had to admit that he had only killed ten.

"You go wake up Asuna."

Achill looked at Zeyi in disbelief, listening to the banter coming out of his mouth, which finally confirmed the ominous premonition just now.

"What a joke!"

The panic was mixed with an angry voice, which resounded in the sky, "I'm gambling once!" ”

Zeyi jokingly agreed to Achill's unwilling request, then called up the menu to switch a thin sword, and flew out at the moment when the 3-second countdown ended.

The result speaks for itself, Zeyi, who was hovering on the verge of death, easily won the victory again.

"How? Hurry up and go. ”

Drinking the primary blood vial, he sat in the weeds, waiting for Akyl's performance.

Achill, who muttered "Damn Zeyi", gave up his last hope and walked towards Asuna with a dead face.

Looking at the exquisite goose egg face under the brown hood and the curvaceous figure shrunken, there was no trace of praise in Achill's heart.

As his rough hand was about to touch Asuna's cloak, he reflexively retracted it as if it had been bitten by a bee.

"Zeyi, just let me go."

It's a pity that there is no hesitation in refusal, "I am willing to gamble and lose, Achill." ”

"What is this, how can it be completed!"

Achill looked at Asuna, who was sleeping on the grass, and swallowed his saliva, sweat on his forehead that he shouldn't have been.

After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to give up.

"It's too hard, can you change it?"

"I can't." Zeyi walked over to Achill and uttered something that made him desperate: "Don't forget that this is the first thing."

"Then you better tell the second thing first, so that I can have a bottom in my heart."

The white finger was held up in front of Achill, and its owner seemed to think about how to punish the loser, and he swayed hesitantly from side to side.

"What is Miss Asuna's acquired sub-profession?"

“emmmmm…… It should be a chef. ”

Zeyi's finger stopped, pointed at Achill and said, "Then please ask Miss Asuna to make us a braised beef."

“……”

Achill's whole person seemed to have fallen under Medusa's magic, and he was petrified there motionless.

A moment later, his hand hovered in front of Asuna again, but this time, he reached out with determination.

As her rough skin was only a few centimeters from Asuna's hooded shawl, a piercing scream pierced the dawning sky, accompanied by a loud crash to the ground.

"Ah——!h

Zeyi forced a smile and greeted Asuna, who had just stood up, and then walked straight to the side of the "corpse".

"Hey, what's going on!"

"Uh...... How so? Zeyi gestured with his hands in the air, he was thinking about how to organize the language, "The fact is that Achill is going to wake you up and ......"

Needless to say, Asuna understood what was going on. Achill was knocked to the ground by her punch, as if he had fallen into a coma.

At the same time, in the blind spot of Asuna's perspective, looking at Achill with squinted eyes, Zei uttered a lip that made him completely desperate.

"Don't forget the braised beef."
