Episode.83 The strategy unfolds, and the swordsmen are talked to at the previous moment
It's a crystal neutralization space......
As others had guessed, the boss room on the 75th floor was also a space where mobile crystals such as teleportation crystals could not be used.
In this way, even in the face of a boss with overwhelming power, you can't escape halfway, you can only resist desperately.
For this fact, many players in the strategy group feel a trace of fear and helplessness, once they lose the only way to escape, the threat of death will also be greatly increased, which of course makes them worried.
According to Heathcliff, he knew from Asuna's previous report that the same is true for the boss room on the seventy-fourth floor, so he thinks that all boss rooms will probably be the same in the future.
That is to say, the future battles and strategy bosses will become a situation of trapped beast fighting, only victory, no choice of escape.
In addition, there was a lot of interest in Natsume's return.
Originally, the advance team of dozens of people never returned, but a captain came back from the boss's room alone, and brought some room conditions and the appearance of the boss, which is really incredible.
After handing over the boss information to the players in the conference room, Natsume didn't answer their questions, and just did it with pure 'luck'.
Walking out of the conference room for the second time, Natsume said to the female team member who was still in a state of shock because Natsume had returned intact
"Remember to come to the room to inform me when you start the strategy, and I will rush over."
"Yes, yes!"
The female team member bent down and nodded at Natsume. After confirming, Natsume walked towards the room assigned to him.
In fact, the hierarchy of the Blood Alliance Knights is also relatively strict. Possess a high rank and a record of achievements. Or the person in the position can get a room in his own house assigned by the department, instead of going back to live or living in the group like the rest of the team.
Passing through the hallway, the scene I had seen once again came into view, but the corridor was quieter than usual today.
Maybe it's because of the face of the boss and the crystal neutralization space.,All the members, including the strategy group.,There's no ease in the past.。
The sun had set outside, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on his body, and the residual temperature began to erode his body. Natsume's gaze shifted, looking ahead.
Under the short black hair, there are a pair of pupils that look very sharp, and you may be able to detect the thoughts of outsiders.
Carrying a black sword on his back and a look of anger on his face, the black swordsman Kiritto was standing at the end of the corridor.
"What the hell did you do, Natsume."
"What did you do?"
"No kidding, you went to the boss room alone at noon, why did you come back with its message without a little injury after seeing the boss."
I was concerned about this.
Natsume didn't know what Kirito was thinking, but there was one thing Natsume knew very well. Kirito seems to be a little angry right now.
He walked over quickly, Natsume's expression a little puzzled.
"The boss on the seventy-fifth floor is called [Theskuullreaper] (skeleton centipede). The attack method is judged to be attacking with sharp horns and hundred legs, capable of climbing walls and domes, and has a skeletal upper body and a centipede-like back body. ”
"Looks like Kirito you've got it."
"Nonsense, I just want to know why you came back safe and sound, since you can see it so clearly, you should have fought with the boss, so why, you look like you're unscathed. Of course, I don't want you to get hurt......"
"Isn't that enough? Didn't I bring a message to give everyone hope so that they could draw up a plan of action? ”
"Of course that's true, but you know it beforehand, you should know that the room can't be teleported, the boss's appearance, and so on."
It seems that Kirito is a little suspicious of himself.
Indeed, it is strange to think that you can come back from the boss room where you can't use crystals by yourself.
No, it's not weird, it's weird.
Of course, Natsume knew that doing that kind of thing would lead to suspicion, but he was still a little desperate.
The bug that was ignored by the monster was only forced to use it when facing Sophieli, and it was the first time he had actively used this bug.
The reason why Natsume didn't use it on ordinary monsters was because he was worried about what if it was okay against ordinary monsters, but not against bosses like [Theskuullreaper]", so he proposed to go alone and conduct experiments.
What happens if it fails?
He never thought about it, in Natsume's view, the so-called all-or-nothing is to give everything in the action taken under the condition of confirmation, which is called all-or-nothing.
Therefore, Natsume is just acting according to his own actions.
Natsume didn't respond to Kirito's next question, and just as he wanted to get by, the clothes on his chest were grabbed at once.
This doesn't count as an attack, it's just a simple tug on the clothes on his chest.
"Natsume, you should know the boss of that floor in advance, right, so why don't you tell those people? There are more than ten people in total, and they just died, don't you feel anything? ”
"You can't save people, that's what I think, it's hard enough to just save the people around you, isn't it? It's like if you want to keep Asuna safe, just protecting her alone can be a huge pressure. ”
Why don't I say it?
It's the same as your second cutter.
"If I say it, it's going to cause trouble, and they might think I'm having some purpose or a conspiracy."
If that continues, you may be asked to continue to name the boss of the next stack.
However, the next layer of Natsume is completely unclear about its structure, and it doesn't know what its boss is.
Natsume remained silent, precisely for the sake of the only remaining balance in SAO.
This is also a lie, and in order to deceive Kirito's lie, Natsume must use lies to construct a path forward if he wants to win.
Liars, fraudsters, can be described in this way, but there is only one favorite, and that is
"Sure enough, it's like a killer."
Killer player, this is Natsume.
Not heroes, not brave;
Not a king, not a general.
It's just an ordinary human being, who doesn't want to save the world, doesn't want the world to save itself, and just living like this is the future Natsume wants.
He had to win, or he wouldn't be able to end the game and communicate himself to them.
"Got it? Kirito, if you want to live with Asuna......"
Natsume opens Kirito's hand.
"It's better to think in the light of the message you've just been given."
Although it was to see the footsteps of Kirito and Asuna, Natsume still sent them some ways to fight [Theskuullreaper].
In this way, the first step towards the end has been walked out. (To be continued......)
