In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed......

Half a year is not a long time, nor is it short, but for players living in SAO, this half year is longer than any previous half a year, and it is infinitely long.

In the past six months, a lot of things have happened, big and small, everything, and in the game world of SAO, due to the particularity of this world, the transmission speed of some information is still very fast, so that people can know all kinds of information in time.

Among them, people pay the most attention to the progress of Aingrant's strategy.

After clearing the 1st and 2nd floors, SAO's strategy progress has also come to a complete reversal, and there has never been anything like being trapped in the 1st floor for a whole month and doing nothing, because, after the clearance of the 1st and 2nd floors, players living in SAO can realize that this game can be tackled!

In addition, half a year ago, the second floor of Ayn Grant was cleared by a mysterious player in just three days, which gave those players a very big hope and hope.

As a result, in the past six months, all the players who are a little self-motivated have almost worked hard to attack Ayn Grant, and they are no longer as muddy and cringed as they were in the first layer.

As a result, the progress of the strategy has also been greatly improved.

At the beginning, it took a month to attack the first layer, and it took three days to attack the second layer, and in the past six months, the player's strategy progress has reached the 30th floor, and they have marched to the 31st floor.

Although there are still many players who are still hiding in various towns, even the starting town, waiting for the day when the game will be cleared, many more players have taken up arms and joined the ranks of the "resistance".

Now, those who are at the forefront of the activities and stand at the peak of the player's peak have formed a strategy group, aiming at the top floor of Aingrant, and continue to fight in the highest level of the strategy.

The strategy group, as the name suggests, is that everyone usually levels up separately, but once the room of the boss is found, it must be gathered and everyone will work together to attack the boss of the guard, which is not for any balance of forces, but to reduce casualties, so all the top players are needed to come together.

Although, the players in the strategy group only account for a few hundred of all the players in SAO, but their level and equipment are not comparable to ordinary players, and most of the credit for being able to attack the 30th floor in a year is on them.

Among them, the players who make up the strategy group are roughly divided into four camps.

The first camp is the Wind Forest Volcano Guild, and the president is Kirito's good friend - Klein, which is a very regular guild, not very prominent, nor as unscrupulous as some guilds, without a lower limit, but it is a highly praised guild, even if the performance is decent, but the overall guild strength is definitely among the best in SAO.

The second camp is the Holy Dragon United Guild, compared with the Wind Forest Volcano, the character of the players of the Ascending Dragon Union is quite bad, for the sake of the strategy, they are almost unscrupulous, even if they hurt the player, become an orange state, they do not hesitate, and at the same time, for this reason, the position of the president changes frequently, and I don't know who the president is for the time being, but the strength of the entire guild is not to be questioned, and even the number of members is the second in the entire SAO.

The third camp is the Blood Alliance Knights, the leader is Heathcliff, which is recognized as the strongest guild, although the number of members is not very large, but almost all of them are elites, and the vice president is served by Asuna, plus its leader Heathcliff, the overall strength of the Blood Alliance Knights can be imagined.

Finally, the last faction in the Raiders group, and the weakest faction, is the Lone Player camp.

There are only two players in this camp, one is Achill, a black-hearted businessman, but in private he has contributed a lot of effort to cultivating low-level players, although he has not joined any guild, but he himself has enough strength to rival the players of the strategy group.

The other person is Kirito.,Although because of Luo Tianfan's reasons,Diabel didn't die like the original book.,Kirito didn't suffer from the infamy of the cheater in the first layer like the original book.,On the contrary,Kirito is quite popular now.,But Kirito seems to be a natural thing.,Accustomed to being a lone ranger.,Even if friends aren't as rare as the original.,But he has hardly teamed up with others.,But no one can question his strength.,Even,Dare to go alone.,It also proves his strength., His name as a black swordsman is unknown to no player.

Originally,There is also a guild camp in the strategy group.,It's called the army.,This is the guild with the largest number of people.,The largest guild.,The strength is no less than any guild in the strategy group.,But because of the assertion of the 25th floor alone.,As a result, it suffered heavy casualties.,Now,The army has withdrawn from the strategy group.,Rooted in the first layer.,The strategy is no longer so active.,Although it will still be active at the front line,But it's not much active.。

With the joint efforts of the guilds and players of these raider groups, nearly two-thirds of the 30 layers that have been raided are all raided by them, which shows how much they have contributed, and in the average player, they are like idols.

And the remaining third of the 30th floor was tackled by one person alone!

That's right! It's alone!

If the players of the strategy group are the idols of ordinary players, then this player is the god in the minds of ordinary players, and even the players of the entire strategy group!

Just one person, in half a year, relying on his own strength, forced to clear the twelfth floor, just ask, who can do this kind of thing?

Don't say who can do it, even if it's any guild in the strategy group, it can't do it!

So, now, he has become recognized as the strongest player!

However, the strongest player never appears in the player's eyeline, and even the informants are difficult to find his traces, it is said that it is because after clearing a level, he immediately goes to the maze area of the upper layer, or disappears immediately, and never levels up in the wild, even if he appears in the wild, it is also when he fights the boss in the wild.

It is only at this time that there is a chance for some lucky players to catch his tracks, but only the corners of his clothes.

It is said that there were once people who saw the strongest players haunting the town, but the town was mixed, and many times a place that looked similar would cause people to commotion, and in the end they knew that they had recognized the wrong person, so not many people would believe the sighting news in the town.

As a result, the strongest player, who is regarded by the players as a god, has added seven or eight points of mystery, so that in SAO, if there is any player who is the most popular, then, out of a hundred people, the vast majority of them will definitely say that they are the strongest players, and the remaining small part is purely jealous and duplicitous.

After all, a single person can play a role comparable to that of a raider group, and in this world of death games that are expected to be saved, that person will naturally become a god-like existence.

Because everyone who has witnessed the figure of the strongest player has noticed that he is wearing a black coat and a long sword pinned to his waist, the players have given him such a title - the black sword god.

Hawkers, after so much rambling, this legendary strongest player, known as the black-clothed sword god, is naturally Luo Tianfan.

No way, I originally wanted to lower the scheduling day and didn't want to be famous, but for the sake of his own discipline, he had to work hard to complete the copy task one of the system, and in order to complete this task, he also worked hard......

At this time, Luo Tianhuan had just come out of the maze area on the 31st floor, walking on the way back to the town, grabbing his hair depressedly: "Annoying, I've been in the maze area for so long, but I haven't found the room to guard the boss, so when will I be able to complete the quest task one?" And the group of guys in the strategy group always grab the boss with me.,I'm likely to not be able to complete the copy task one.,Wipe! In that case, I'm definitely going to have to fight with the entire Raiders team! ”

With a depressed mood, Luo Tianhuan returned to the town and walked through the gate of the town, but he didn't notice that at this time, a heavily armed team of six people slowly walked out of the town.

"Huh?" One of its black-haired little white faces, dressed in a long black trench coat and carrying a long sword on his back, noticed the oncoming person, and after seeing his appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of eyes lit up.

"Kirito, what's wrong?" A male player with an iron rod noticed Kirito's strange appearance and asked curiously.

"Nothing, I saw a ...... I hadn't seen in a long time Well...... It can be regarded as an acquaintance......" Looking at Luo Tianhuan who was walking towards him, the corners of Kirito's mouth hooked an arc.

"Is that the girl?" Another male player with a war hammer heard Kirito's words, and hurriedly stepped forward, looked around, only to find that there was a person walking in front of him, although the person lowered his head and couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but from the body shape, well, the proper girl paper is correct.

It's not just him, everyone else thinks so.

"Uh...... That's right......" Kirito's face suddenly turned weird, and he wanted to laugh a little, but instead of correcting their mistakes, he wanted to wait until they knew Luo Tianhuan's gender, and it was funny to see their surprised expressions.

After tidying up the clothes on his body, Kirito stepped forward to greet Luo Tianhuan, raised his hand, and greeted Luo Tianhuan: "Yo!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing that someone was greeting him, Luo Tianhuan raised his head suspiciously, and when he saw that the other party was actually Kirito, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and also said hello: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be you, huh...... Kirito ...... Long time no see. ”

"It's been a long time, and I thought you forgot my name, Luo Jun." Kirito saw that Luo Tianhuan was distressed for a long time before he remembered his name and smiled helplessly.

Luo Tianhuan shrugged his shoulders, no way, since he attacked the first layer half a year ago, he hadn't met Kirito again, and he hadn't added each other's friends with Kirito at the beginning, so he hadn't seen him for so long, so he naturally had to pretend that he couldn't recognize Kirito for a while and meditated.

"Did you just come back from outside?" Kirito asked politely.

Luo Tianhuan nodded nonchalantly: "Well, what about you?" Going out? ”

"Well, I'm going to level up." Kirito replied.

"That's a coincidence, just in time to meet you." Being able to meet Kirito unexpectedly, to be honest, Luo Tianhuan was both surprised and happy in his heart, but it always seemed that there was a little bit of blood.

"Well, it's a coincidence." Kirito didn't expect to meet Luo Tianyu here, and there were a lot of questions he wanted to ask.

"You're going to level up, are you going alone?" Luo Tian asked when he saw that Kirito seemed to be alone.

"It's not." Kirito shook his head. "Not long ago, I joined a small guild to level up with them."

"Guild?" Luo Tianhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, in the original book, in addition to being forced to join the Blood Alliance Knights in the later stage, Kirito also joined a guild in the early stage, if it is the same as the original book, Kirito should have joined the guild in the original book.

"Well, that's them." Kirito gestured to the five people behind him.
