In the blink of an eye, 3 years have passed, and the progress of the entire SAO strategy has also reached the 74th layer. After spending the first few moments, the players who were drawn into the game began to adapt to the world at an unbelievable pace, and more survived despite the inevitable sacrifices...... And it's enough to be called not bad.

However, the number of players who can continue to play the strategy without fear of danger is decreasing year by year, and more people are still tired of the endless dangers...... There's no way to be in a situation like that where you can die all the time, and no one can stick to it all at once.

However, for the raiders, stopping often means that they can no longer catch up with the vanguard...... It's not a question of strength, it's the mentality that determines everything.

Moreover, as the strength of the players increases, the lives of the players are getting better and better. Perhaps at the beginning of the design, Akihiko Chewba took this situation into account, so it was not too much to modify the explosion rate of high-level players attacking low-level monsters, which means that for those warriors who once had the strength of the front, once they are willing to turn back, they can naturally get a more comfortable life on the lower floors.

It's like poison. The product is the same, isn't it? Once you taste that leisurely taste, it is hard to imagine that someone will be able to go to the battlefield again without hesitation, and even if they return to the front line for various reasons, the slightest concern in their hearts will eventually become a hidden danger for their lives...... There have already been countless fighters who have proven this with their lives.

As a result, it is understandable that there will be fewer and fewer players in the Raiders group on the front line, but this is definitely not good news, after all, although the world in SAO is very suitable for survival, it seems that the body in reality is difficult to support for so long...... Despite rumors from a mysterious merchant, the ratio of time between the game and the outside world has been adjusted to 3:1. But it's hard to say how...... Moreover, according to the rule of one leap every five layers of game difficulty, I am afraid that the time required to attack the next few layers will be more than the sum of the previous ones. It's even possible that you will never be able to conquer it.

However, in any case, even with all the difficulties, the strategy for the game continues. And there are also a lot of players who are desperately fighting for it.

"Whew...... What is the progress of the maze now? Then again, is it really necessary to set the difficulty like this...... It's just too much! After finally finding a place to rest, Kana put the giant scythe in his hand aside, and then moved his arms while complaining in a rare way...... There's no way that the weapon she uses is the heaviest in the whole team, and it's fine if it's an ordinary battle, but once the intensity of the battle becomes intense, it will inevitably feel that her arms are sore.

"There's no way around it......" Maybe the game wasn't that difficult, but the adult changed the difficulty without authorization, maybe after such a conjecture flashed in her heart, Wing shrugged her shoulders slightly, in the past three years, she can be said to have fully understood Ye Yu's bad taste, which made her now have a complete impression of the gods, "But fortunately, we have also become a lot stronger, aren't we?" ”

This is true. Compared to when they first entered this game, the strength of the two has changed dramatically, and if Kana is used as an example, now she can effortlessly kill Vlad, who has been chasing her for a long time, and this is far from her bottom line...... However, after hearing Tsubasa say that, the girl showed a wry smile......

"Facing such a high-intensity battle every day, it's strange if your strength doesn't increase......" Kana dared to pat his chest and assured, even the amount of training he had when he was in the martial arts school was far from keeping up with what he was now, let alone the danger...... Anyone who succeeds in surviving the fight of blood and fire will grow by leaps and bounds, thinking like this, Kana looked helplessly at the teammates who had been silent in front of him since just now, and the tacit understanding she had cultivated in the past three years made her very clear that the other party should be thinking about countermeasures at this time, in fact, if it weren't for Kiriko being in charge of coordinating the overall situation, the two of them might have died a long time ago.

"Kiriko. Where are we now? How long will it take to see the boss? Kana's question interrupted the petite girl in the black trench coat, and then she pinched her chin and turned thoughtfully to reply,

"It's almost over, but unfortunately we have to walk back now, and it's definitely not a good thing to walk through the forest at night. But I think I'll be able to get to the boss room tomorrow. Kiriko's sworn words made the two girls nod at the same time. Her judgment was rarely wrong.

"But my concern now is...... What is the strength of this 74-story boss? Based on past experience, bosses within the 5th floor range don't have any special enhancements, but I always feel ......"

"I think you're right......" Tsubasa interjected just as Kiriko was a little hesitant, and I don't know if it's because I've been fighting for three years in a row. Compared with the tranquility of the previous literary girl, the current wing also has a more resolute and hearty taste. "From the first time I entered the labyrinth, I felt that the monsters here were a little different from the ones outside...... It's like a little more agile......"

"You mean...... These guys are gradually gaining wisdom? After speculating on this result. Kana was taken aback by her own conjecture...... Although it is only a little more agile now, does that mean that when the strategy reaches the 95th layer, or even only the 90th floor, they will have to face enemies with the same intelligence and human types? That's terrible!

"I think it should be like this......" As if seeing through Kana's thoughts, Tsubasa nodded with him, "But we can put the enemies in the future later, and the problem now is that there is suddenly more such a change in the labyrinth, does it also mean that the strength of the boss has also changed?" ”

Tsubasaki's speculation is not unreasonable, although there is a little more taste of dim heart, but after all, there is nothing wrong with being cautious only once in life......

"Why don't you just go and say hello to that person......" As Kiriko's suggestion was made, the faces of the other two girls turned ugly...... The so-called person in her mouth is naturally Ye Yu, and he naturally sells it when it comes to intelligence, but the price...... It's a toothache just thinking about it......

"Then let's decide like this......" After being silent for a while, Tsubasa agreed with Kiriko with some discouragement, "But this matter still has to be discussed with the other unions first, after all, we can't only pay for the money...... And now I should go back? (To be continued.) )
