The strategy group is aimed at the top of Ayn Grant, and the players who always attack the strategy on the highest floor account for only a few hundred out of 10,000 players.

The level and equipment are not compared to ordinary players, and there are idol-like existences among ordinary players, with strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, in Natsume's eyes, the actions of the strategy team should be very cautious, and it is not a good choice to come to the strategy boss at night.

It's not about fighting bosses, it's about fighting other monsters on the way.

If the vision is not good at night, enemies hidden in the shadows will also gain more significant concealment abilities in the dark, increasing the danger factor.

Although most of the people in the Raiders group are really strong, in this death game, everyone has to be careful and will not do risky things.

So, why did the Raiders team come here?

Natsume, who didn't know, only guessed, and exhaled a cloudy breath as he thought.

Just ahead, a figure appeared at the entrance, a knight-style uniform with a red cross on a white background, with long silky light golden-brown hair, a beautiful figure and a beautiful appearance, SAO was staring at the map in her hand with her eyes that were more dazzling than gems.

Now she is probably just a member or captain of the Blood Alliance Knights, no matter what, this is a trouble for Natsume.

"Really, it's troublesome."

Natsume was going to enter through the side entrance, but before that, the gravel he kicked caught the other man's attention.

"The guy over there, is it the player? How- hey! ”

Ignore the shouts from the rear. Natsume ran away.

A player named Asuna catches up.

In front of me is a passage. Natsume began to recall the map that Sophie had shown her that day. You can't follow the right path now, or you'll lead the people behind you to the boss's room.

Choosing a wrong path, Natsume, who was running wildly, gradually increased his speed.

The passage was not completely dark, with a palm-sized luminous stone illuminating every five meters, but even then, the view was not very good.

The surrounding stone walls are a little wet, and it can be seen that the ventilation performance of the entire passage is not perfect, and the rough walls have various degrees of cracks. There were six cracks in front of me.

Smack.

When you step on the puddle, the splash falls into the puddle again, and then it vibrates due to the sound and ripples.

"Wait a minute! No! Why do you run away when you see me! Are you from the Raiders team?! ”

"Why did you come with me when you saw me running?"

Natsume replied that getting involved with her would definitely make her task super difficult.

Leaning slightly on the side, his right hand slid lightly across the ground, the way the height shifted made Natsume turn a nearly ninety-degree corner.

Rubbing your left foot on the ground and providing power with your right foot, your body accelerates immediately after the turn and runs towards the passage in front of you.

"I said it! Make you wait and don't know? There are a lot of high-level monsters in this corridor labyrinth area! ”

"Then don't follow me!"

"If you don't run!"

"A woman who speaks strongly! Stubborn! ”

"You. What did you say! ”

A white light suddenly flashed from behind, and Natsume felt Asuna behind him suddenly accelerate.

That's not good.

Her attack trajectory should be an energy attack that is biased towards the feet. She won't take a substantial blade cut, and as long as she's not serious, she can't keep up with herself.

Counting the time, the sound of steady footsteps approached from a distance.

There was a bend in front of him, and at the same time Asuna's attack befell him.

Natsume leaned as far to the left as he could, and the moment he turned to the left, Natsume immediately sped up, his body rotated slightly, and aimed his side at Asuna, who was approaching.

Immediately afterwards, the sword in the lake held in his right hand slashed with his backhand, and the tracks immediately crossed and staggered after the collision of the two weapons.

"What?!"

Very surprised, she was driven by Natsume to unload her strength, and Asuna fell straight ahead before braking due to her speed.

Natsume, on the other hand, followed the impact just now, turned Asuna's power into his own power, braked while turning, turned his body to one side, and ran towards the predetermined passage just now.

Shake it off.

Just as Natsume was happy, Asuna's voice rang out on the other side of the passage.

"Catch him!"

Before the words fell, five or six knights and warriors in armor emerged from the passage in front of them, and they glared at Natsume together, the level was estimated to be around level 30, and the strong sense of oppression made Natsume have to stop.

I didn't expect anyone else.

It's impossible to get rid of this group, and if you go back......

I'll meet her again.

Natsume reluctantly put away his weapon, and the two people in front of him immediately rushed over and suppressed his arms, pinning them to the ground, blocking Natsume's movements.

His jaw slammed against the ground, and the pain came as he inhaled the damp ground air, mixed with dust and a foul smell that made Natsume cough.

The elbows were bent, but the men didn't break, they just made Natsume unable to move.

The footsteps sounded again, and the girl who came from the other side of the aisle, Asuna, crouched down in front of Natsu, a smile that was not at all a smile on her face.

"Yo, I'm here again, how about it?"

"Trouble is dead."

"It's us who is in trouble, ordinary players came here just to cause us trouble, you two let him go."

Responding with 'Got it, Captain', Natsume's shackles were untied.

He stood up and moved his wrist, which had just been caught, and heard the comment from Asuna beside him.

"It doesn't look like you're very strong, but it's good to be able to receive my attack, but I didn't expect there to be players who look so neutral, are your character's skins and hairstyles real?"

Seeing Asuna, who was interested in her appearance, Natsume turned her face away.

"It's long-winded."

"Hey?!"

Someone stood out from the ranks, a tall man armed with a giant axe.

"Who allowed a piece of garbage like you to be disrespectful to our captain?"

"It's fine."

Asuna motioned for the man to stand down, and she walked up to Natsume and declared with some displeasure

"It's not a contempt, it's a warning, it's really dangerous here, you better go back."

"As you said, I just want to come and see, and since your strategy team is here, I'll go back too."

Of course Natsume was willing to be let go, but anyway, he just had to go around somewhere else.

Having the right 'map' is where your advantage lies.

"Then I'll send you out, in case you encounter monsters on the way, you guys continue to explore, remember to mark the location, and cooperate with each other."

In this way, Natsume's thoughts were easily shattered. (To be continued......)
