Chapter 38: Stumbling Blocks
"Is this the power of the magic sword?"
Asuna, who was protected by a member of the group, looked at this area that had been turned into a human purgatory in horror, looking at the players who had dissipated in the air, and there was no trace of existence left behind, her hands were inserted into her hair, and her originally beautiful face was already full of despair.
"What was your mission in the first place!! Still don't want to say!! ”
The surviving Tilberu grabbed Asuna's shoulder and roared loudly, completely losing his usual calm and calmness, shaking Asuna's shoulder: "Tell me what your original mission was!" ”
"It's a magic sword... Magic Sword Kirkod... This girl was going to be burned to death as a witch by the people of the church, and then she was saved by Ye Ran..."
Asuna looked at the ground with lost eyes, sat on the ground dejectedly, and said in a low voice: "The people of the church said that it was the prophecy of the archbishop, the magic sword Kirkod would be born, and Shirokuma was the key to the birth of the magic sword, so he was burned to death......"
Magic Sword...
Hearing the news from Asuna, Tilberu couldn't help but feel a spirit, isn't the magic sword just an equipment series? How could there be such a terrifying amount of power? And it's a weird task.
Tilberu's eyes widened, he looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, "This, is it really part of Ye Ran's mission?!" ”
Yes!!
The people who were still alive gathered together, and when they heard Tilberu's voice, they couldn't help but stir, but they still kept their vigilance and looked at Shirokumar who stopped moving there, after all, the one who could survive Shirokuma's blow was already the best among a hundred.
Ye Ran's name was a little unfamiliar to them, but it was a little familiar, and it took a long time to realize that this name was the one who defeated the boss on the first floor and got the system announcement.
However, even if it is Ye Ran's task monster, this is too powerful.
Until now, I haven't even touched the corner of the boss's clothes, and I've lost more than half of the players.
I've never heard of a quest monster reaching this level of intensity!
Shirokumar didn't keep attacking, she just looked at the door and didn't move, and the rest of the players could only rely on each other, huddled together, guarding against the next attack of the slender girl in front of them.
"It's coming..."
Suddenly, the boss in front of them suddenly made a strange move, only to see her suddenly strand of hair, her original indifferent expression became slightly embarrassed, and her hands sorted out her clothes, and then folded them in front of her.
This change left the players stunned, barely believing their eyes.
Boom!
The door suddenly opened, and the white figure paced forward.
"Long time no see, brother..."
The terrifying boss in front of them only smiled faintly like a girl next door at this time, bowed slightly, and said softly with joy.
A young man in a white shirt, with an ancient sword hanging from his waist, his face was indifferent.
He was moving forward, strolling with the eyes of the crowd. The vague light refracted by the room made entirely of ice blocks, and the messy ground that had been destroyed did not seem to be able to hide the tranquil aura revealed by the boy's body, attracting everyone's attention.
"Ye Ran..."
Asuna couldn't help but cover her mouth, she couldn't have imagined that the boy who had disappeared for a long time would appear in such a way, for a while, her mind abandoned all emotions, and the only thing left was what she hadn't experienced for a long, long time, hope.
The boy walked into the door, didn't bother with the door slamming behind him, just glanced around, and sighed quietly.
Are these people left? Is it still a step too late...
He is Ye Ran?!!
The boy's too young figure and that outstanding indifferent temperament are really unreminiscent, this is a gamer. Ye Ran's task monster caused them heavy casualties, but at the same time, it was Ye Ran's appearance that stopped the boss from chasing them in the future, and this intricate mind made the players present change their expressions.
Heathcliff, who survived by the characteristic of thick blood, looked at Ye Ran with a gloomy light in his eyes, for him, the moment he saw Ye Ran with his own eyes, he knew that Ye Ran was the second abnormality he had seen now in this game.
A hint of surprise appeared on Kirito's sad face, and he held the hand of Yuki, who had lost his luster on his face, and the blow of Shirokuma just now directly eliminated all the people in the black cat group on a moonlit night except for Yuki, and now for Kirito, Yuki is the absolute top priority.
"Ah, Shirokuma, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to become a big girl after just half a year."
Seeing Xiluokuma's appearance, Ye Ran was still stunned for a moment, and then said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is no longer the eighteen changes of the female university, it is simply a mutation." ”
"Huh? Doesn't my brother like Shirokumar like he is now? ”
Shirokumar turned around, looked at his current delicate figure, touched his chest and said, "I thought my brother liked this kind of maturity and worked hard to grow up~"
"Who said that, don't decide other people's preferences without permission!"
"Now, brother, Shirokumar is getting stronger now."
"That's right..."
When Ye Ran looked at Xiluokuma, Xiluokuma was also looking at Ye Ran, and then she smiled quietly, her brother is really still her brother.
In the dull eyes of everyone, Ye Ran and Xiluokuma were simply chatting about homely things, and the atmosphere was so harmonious.
【Mission Update-Branches】
【Defeat the Magic Sword Kirkod】
[Reward, Unknown]
Or is it still going to fight?
With a sigh, he looked at Shirokumar, who had never distanced herself from him in the first place, at the ethereal spirit in her emerald eyes without a hint of gloom.
"I'm the Magic Sword."
Seeing Ye Ran sighing, the girl just pressed her chest with her slender hand, the expression on Hirokuma's face was so solemn and dazzling, and she said with a faint smile: "It's a stumbling block that my brother must definitely step over." ”
bite
With a clear sound, a ring with strange runes suddenly appeared above Hirokumar's head, and then gradually swept from top to bottom.
Tick Tick Tick...
Information Updates.
In the player's field of vision, a green blood bar appears, and a message appears above the girl's head that they would never have seen before.
Magic Sword - Kirkod - Mochizuki.
And the girl's body, also changed into white and green clothing, and the previous shape is completely different from the previous combat uniform, cloth shoulder armor covers the original rounded shoulders, the integrated combat uniform from the original shoulder position vertically down, and then by a green white belt to bind the slender waist, up to the ankle side, completely covering the body, even the high heels on the feet have turned into a pair of white and green cloth boots.
"Mochizuki, is that your real name?"
"Yes, but I would prefer my brother to call me Shirokumar."
Ye Ran grasped the hilt of the sword, then pulled it out, pointing at the ground casually.
Shirokumar raised his hand, the green light converged, and the five ice swords behind him let out a faint trembling sound, and his eyes were full of indifference.
The players were nervously watching the battle in front of them, for them, Ye Ran's victory or defeat was the key to their survival this time.
The cold wind gradually rose, and a cold wind suddenly blew in this room made entirely of ice.
Stepping forward, the figure passed away steeply.
A little cold light lit up, and the sword shadow composed of the fierce indifferent ice sword reflected the expressions of the players in the air, the emotions that everyone carried.
Wrath.
Unwilling.
Fear.
And, hope.
