Chapter One Hundred and Four: Ruby Palace
The next day, Asuna made an exquisite breakfast, and after the family of three finished eating, she sent Yui to the weapon shop and went to the teleportation plaza on the fifty-fifth floor with Kirito, who had already been prepared.
"Dad, you're going to make it, aren't you?" Before leaving, Yui pulled Long Mo's clothes with nervousness on her face.
Long Mo smiled slightly, squatted down and touched Yui's head, "You can rest assured that you are waiting for Dad's good news here!" Rest assured, after this battle is over, Yui will be able and we will be together forever! ”
"Kirito, you must come to me when you go out!" Liz also pulled Kirito's eyes full of reluctance, of course! There is no shortage of threats either!
By the time they showed up, it was already crowded!
"Yo! Long Mo, you're finally here! Klein, who was not far away, waved his hand to Long Mo.
"Klein! You're here so early! Kirito stepped forward and bumped fists with Klein, "What's going on?" How can there be so many people? ”
"They seem to be all low-level players, and they heard that the final battle is going to start today, and they are here to see us off!" Klein explained briefly and then looked at Asuna, "That's right! This morning, something happened to the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and the leader of the group, Heathcliff, was gone! ”
"What? The head of the regiment is gone? Asuna's face changed greatly, although she had left the guild, but after all, she had been there for three years, and if she didn't have any nostalgia, it would definitely be fake!
"Don't worry!" Long Mola, who had already guessed what was going on, took Rayasina's hand and calmed her down, "Your regiment leader is not a child, and his strength is not weak, there will be no accidents, maybe it is because of special circumstances!" ”
Hearing Long Mo's comfort, Asuna finally quieted down, and at this time, she walked alone to the center of the many players. That person Long Mo knew, it was a high-level person who used to be at the same level as Asuna every time he went to the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights before, Poison Island Tsuneko!
"Everyone, I think it's clear to everyone! We have been in this world for four years, and today we can finally end it all, leave this world, and return to our loved ones! That's right, as long as we can successfully conquer the last layer, we can leave this world! Our vanguard has already figured out what's going on in the hundredth floor, and there's nowhere else in it! There's no safe zone or labyrinth zone, there's only one building there! That's where the final boss is mentioned in the intel, the Ruby Palace! Presumably the final boss is there! Since he is the final boss, his combat power must be extraordinary, so everyone! Hopefully, we can work together to break through the last hurdle! ”
After Poison Island Tsumiko's words were finished, the entire square suddenly erupted in a burst of violent cheers.
After everyone gradually quieted down, Poison Island Tsuneko continued: "Next, as long as our regiment leader arrives, we will march to the hundredth floor!" ”
At this time, Asuna came to the side of Poison Island Tsuneko, "Tsuneko, what's going on?" How could the head of the regiment suddenly disappear? ”
"I don't know," Tsumiko Poison Island shook her head, "Today when we went to look for the head of the regiment, we found that his room was empty!" We thought he was here, but we didn't notice him when we arrived! Now I've sent someone to find him! ”
"What are you looking for?" Long Mo rolled his eyes, "It's not a kid who still asks people to look for it, maybe he has already gone to the hundredth floor before us!" ”
Saying that, Long Mo didn't care about the reactions of the others, and walked directly into the portal.
"Long Mo!" Asuna exclaimed and hurried to follow.
"This ......" Kirito looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment.
"The real like to mess around as always!" Klein shook his head, "Forget it! Die and die! ”
After saying that, they followed, and Kirito and Achill no longer hesitated, and entered the portal with the members of the Wind Forest Volcano. Someone took the lead, and many players who had already begun to gear up couldn't bear it anymore and followed into the portal.
"Really! How can it be so messy! Poison Island Stomped his feet, "You two stay, if the head of the regiment comes, let him go to the hundredth floor as soon as possible, and the others will come with me!" ”
The hundredth floor, just like Poison Island Tsumiko said, there are no superfluous buildings, only a blood-red castle standing on the horizon in the distance, and it looks like a building made of rubies from a distance.
A mighty team continued to advance towards the Red Jade Palace, and no one spoke along the way, and Asuna held Long Mo's hand tightly.
Long Mo knows very well that everyone is in a nervous state now, and this has nothing to do with the psychological quality of the individual! They will have to face unknown dangers next, maybe many of them will lose their lives because of this battle, and those who have not been tempered by a lot of life and death battles in the unknown threat of life and death will be nervous, just like the commanders of the army before the ancient march and war would be mobilized! In order to adjust the morale of the army!
It's just that there is no one in this team who can handle this task now, Long Mo can, but he won't do this kind of thing!
Because there is no doubt about it!
Soon everyone came to the door of the Red Jade Palace, and someone should have stood up to do a simple mobilization meeting at this time, but no one had ever stood up, so Long Mo unceremoniously pushed open the gate of the castle!
The players rushed into the castle, and the entrance was a large and empty hall, the whole hall stretched into the interior, and there were more than twenty steps as far as the eye could see, and there was a good-looking seat on the top of the step, and on top of the seat there was a figure!
But because the surrounding environment was too dark, no one really saw the person's appearance, and could only infer from a rough outline that this person should be a slightly burly man!
Just as many players were carefully observing the surrounding situation, the lights in the hall suddenly lit up! The originally gloomy environment suddenly became abundant, and the internal structure of the hall was more thoroughly revealed to everyone, of course! This also includes the figure in the seat!
"Captain!" When he saw the figure above, Poison Island couldn't help but exclaim, and many players were also surprised!
At this time, the person sitting on the crystal clear red seat that looked like a natural one was none other than the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights who had attacked countless monsters with them, Heathcliff!
"Captain, why are you here?" Poison Island asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the guard boss here has been attacked by you!" But why didn't we hear the notification? ”
"Son," Heathcliff chuckled, "I told you that there is only one person in this world who can make it to a single boss level, and that person is Long Mo!" ”
Hearing Heathcliff's words, Tsukiko Poison Island was even more surprised, "Then why ......"
It was at this moment that a man walked up to her front with his back to her.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be the boss of the last tier, right?" Long Mo raised his head and looked at Heathcliff calmly, "I'm right, right?" Captain Heathcliff, no! It's more appropriate to call you Akihiko Kayaba now! ”
Akihiko Kayaba!
Hearing this name, many players immediately became agitated, although four years have passed, but everyone has not forgotten the real mastermind who trapped himself and the people around him in this world in the first place!
Akihiko Kayaba!
"Long Mo, what do you mean by that!" Poison Island grabbed Long Mo's collar.
"Don't you know what you mean?" Instead of struggling, Long Mo stretched out a finger and pointed at Heathcliff, "See for yourself!" ”
Following Long Mo's fingers, everyone noticed that seven blood bars appeared on Heathcliff's head at some point, and the signature had also changed!
Akihiko Kayaba!
"This ......" Seeing this scene, Poison Island Renzi loosened Long Mo's collar, opening his lips but not making a sound.
Everything was clear now, and the members of the Blood Alliance Knights fell into silence, they never thought that the Kayaba Akihiko who trapped them in this world and made them want to drink blood and eat meat was actually the same person as the leader they admired and respected!
It was at this time that Akihiko Kayaba noticed Long Mo, "Mr. Long Mo doesn't seem to be surprised by my matter!" ”
