Lilan and I fought off Sirika's hated tentacle plant monster and headed towards the Hill of Memories, halfway through which Sirika would join the battle, dealing a lot of damage to the enemy and knocking them down, gaining experience points and increasing the level by one level. Let's go. It seems that Sirika has been effective against the enemies of this labyrinth.

As I continued to walk inside, I soon came to a place with a beautiful view of the Hanging Gardens, and the fields of flowers stretched to the distant horizon. Celika was fascinated by the sudden view in front of me, and it was then that I realized that this was the top of the hill in my memory. If you look ahead, you will see some rocks with strange shapes.

It must have been where the Punema flower grows—and as soon as I was about to say that, Sirika ran towards the rock, and I hurried to follow, and after a while, when Sirika came to the rock, I stopped.

When the "beast", which had lost its important "demon", approached, a light appeared on the edge of the rock, and soon the light took the shape of a flower bud and bounced off. The sudden appearance of the white bud flower is surprising, and the flower blooms with a bell-like sound and light particles.

Sirika reached over to the flower and wrapped it gently, and the underside of the flower disappeared silently, and Sirika held a lovely white flower in her hand.

I confirmed the name, and it turned out to be the flower of Punema. That's right, it's a rebirth item for the "Demon Maker".

"This ...... No, is this the flower of Puneima......"

Lilan spied inside Sirika and made a "sound".

"It's beautiful...... Is this the flower that resurrects us from the dead?"

"Did it work? In this way, Pina can come back to life. ”

Celica turned her head, smiled, and nodded.

"Mr. Kirito, Miss Lilan, thank you, thanks to you, we can bring Pina back to life."

Looking at Celica's smile, even I couldn't help but be happy. Maybe it's because it's also "The Beast".

However, this is a difficult maze...... It's a bit dangerous to resurrect Pina here.

"If you want Pina to come back to life, let's go back to the city."

Celica put the flowers in the storage room and nodded again.

After that, we walked back the way we came, and finally came to a bridge over the river. Until then, Sirika's footsteps seemed to be happy, even I felt happy, but that thought disappeared as I crossed the bridge.

From just now, we were able to use our search skills to detect the breath of players other than us. And now, this breath is concentrating in the shade of the trees ahead. …… Someone followed us here, waiting for us to come back from the innermost part.

I put my hand on Celica's shoulder, told her to stop, walked in front of Celica with Lilac, and screamed.

"Who is hiding there? Come out quickly!"

My voice whispered around me, and a figure moved from behind a tree to front of us. Just when all this was clearly visible, Sirika behind her made a surprised sound.

What appeared in front of me was a female player wearing a red and black scourge battle suit, with her blood-like red hair gorgeously rolled up, and a cross spear in her hand...... It was Rosaria who I met on the street last night.

"Ah, it's amazing that you can see through my Gordon technique."

Rosalia smiled.

"Look at you, it looks like you've got a flower from Punema, congratulations. Well, the flower

Leave it to me. ”

Rosaria's expression changed to a villain's smile, and Sirika was taken aback again.

"What did you say suddenly?"

"I guessed it. Rosalia...... No, it's the captain of the Titan Hand of the Criminal Guild. ”

Rosaria's expression instantly changed to surprise, and then to a lewd smile.

"Oh, you know what?"

"I know you attacked a guild called Silverfrages earlier, killed four people except the leader, and robbed them of their belongings and money, didn't you?"

Rosalia played with her hair, and Celica said to me from behind.

"However, Miss Rosalia's cursor is green, not the color of the criminal."

It seems that Sirika still can't understand the mechanism of Rosalia doing bad things but still being green. This is difficult to detect under normal circumstances, so of course.

"It's easy, right? The guy uses a modus operandi to lure the members into the ambush area, and then use the criminals' accomplices to kill them, so his cursor doesn't turn orange. ”

The voice and face of the man I commissioned came to my mind. I asked the front-line raiders to help me get revenge, but I was rejected several times, and finally found me, and asked me to avenge the man who avenge my companion - although my companion was killed, he said not to kill the murderer, just put him in a cell, and the cloister crystallized to my gentle man.

"Captain of Silverfrags...... That guy cried from morning till night looking for someone who could avenge the frontline of the Raiders team, and finally came to me. Can you understand the feelings of the man who was killed by you?"

Rosalia snorted and shook her head.

"I don't know. You should say, you're stupid. You take it so seriously.

There is no evidence whatsoever that if someone dies here, then he dies in reality as well. ”

Impossible. In fact, the people who died in this world also really died in reality. It's really something that can't be confirmed here, but this is what Akihiko Aoba said himself when he first went out on the street, and he also told me that someone in reality is dead.

This game is not played, it is a real game of death. However, these guys think it's a lie, they do bad things, and in the process of doing bad things, they take human lives as if nothing happened.

"Besides, you're better worried about yourself."

Rosaria snapped her fingers, and the nearby bushes shook, and a dozen poorly equipped men appeared from the shadows. Look at the cursor, all but one is the color of the criminals - orange. I immediately understood that the only man wearing the green cursor was the murderer who eavesdropped on our conversation yesterday.

"I see, those people are your accomplices! Was it the one who overheard you yesterday?"

"yes, you and Celica were both so unexpected. Originally, it was planned to arrange a party that included Celica and strip them naked, but Silica's guy escaped halfway. In order to get caught in the killzone again, I'm going to take a closer look, because you're there...... But the harvest is high. The Punei horse flower owned by Sirika sells for a lot of money...... As a result. ”

Rosaria said impatiently, and a man next to me glared at me, as if he had found something.

"Wait, wait. Black costumes, one-handed swords that stand still, and dragons that look like wolves on their backs...... Could it be that this guy is the 'Black Swordsman'?!"

The man's voice made everyone around him react.

"'Black Swordsman', is that the single-player game that just ended the beta test?! The one who drove the dragon and knocked down the monster boss halfway!?"

"Ro, Rosaria, that guy is amazing!!"

Rosalia burst out laughing, avoiding the voices of the overwhelmed men.

"Raiders! That's all about having a lot of rare items and money! Besides, even the Raiders group and the dragon can't defeat so many people! Kill them and strip them naked."

"Yes, yes! The boss is challenged by the strategy group, a guy with rare items and money! Isn't this a delicious prey, let's kill it!!"

At Rosalia's words, the men seemed to be in a state of limbo, raising their scimitars or straight swords, and slashing excitedly at Lilan and me.

Then, starting with the first blow, the men's sword skills erupted at me and Lilan one after another. However, when I saw the simple state of the men that I could confirm when I pointed the cursor, I realized that there was no need to move, so I told Lilan that there was no need to move.

"Oh!!"

"Die!!"

In the face of us who were motionless, the men excitedly continued to unleash their sword skills. He seemed to get pleasure from attacking each other, and an evil smile appeared on each man's face, and I looked at Rosaria who was leading the men, and she looked at me with a mocking expression on her face.

He just rolled his eyes and looked at the "HP bar" in the upper left corner. The counter was indeed reduced by the men's attacks, but it quickly returned to its full state. If you keep staring, you will find that reducing, healing, reducing, and healing are infinitely repetitive processes.

I didn't think about anything, just looked at the rest of my life, and before long, the men around me were out of breath and stopped attacking. A cold sweat and a confused expression appeared on his face at some point.

"What, this guy and the dragon...... You won't die if you attack!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?!"

He touched his neck and moved his mouth.

"The maximum damage limit for attacking together is 400 per 10 seconds. My level is 78 and my maximum physical strength is 14500...... The amount of recovery from my equipped auto-recovery skill is 600 every 10 seconds, and the continuous attack will not end for several hours. ”

I looked back at Lilan's life. Like me, despite that attack, the counter was cured.

"The dragons over there have the exact same skills. The level is 78 like me, and the maximum physical strength is 65900 more than me. Comes with an auto-reply skill, and the amount of replies per 10 seconds is 1700. No matter how much you attack, you can't fight there. ”

One of the men around muttered.

"Is there such a thing?!"

Hearing this, a wave of anger suddenly surged in my heart, and I said fiercely.

"Of course. An increase in numbers alone would create a huge disparity. That's where hierarchical MMOs don't make sense. When I outnumber you, the winner is decided. ”

Reach into your bosom and take out the last thing you got from the man, the cloister crystal, and show it to the people around you.
