Shino looked over
"Oh, by the way. Let's talk about this situation. Why is Lilan like this?"
"By the way, I forgot to tell Shino that Lilan is an evolved dragon." For the sake of the future, I had to explain it quickly.
"Lilan is like a dragon. It evolves after certain conditions are met. When it evolved before, it was because I gave it a prop, so this time it will probably be the same."
"Evolved dragons...this happens all the time in the game."
As she spoke, Lilan shook her head slightly and looked at Shino and me.
"I felt a surge of power. I felt like I was getting stronger.
"It seems that you have become stronger and evolved."
Lilan moved her head and stared as if she was licking her own body.
"The Theory of Evolution... I showed it to you when I first met you. I didn't expect that I could evolve again in just one day.
“The conditions must be good this time.
"Lelan give me his eyes back."
"Yes. It seems that the items that can gain my power, the items you call items, the items that react to my power are all rare. You can't gain power just by eating rare items."
He crossed his arms and nodded. In other words, there are some rare items that have factors that cause Lelan to evolve.
"So, in order for you to become stronger in the future, it seems that you need to obtain items that allow you to evolve. Mosquito"
"Yes. No, maybe I will become stronger every time I climb this castle...
When he tilted his head involuntarily, Lilan continued.
"Could the item you just sent out be the item that appeared when you defeated that giant? It's possible, but my evolution factor might be obtained by defeating the existence of your so-called BOSS.
"Of course...if you think about it carefully, it makes sense for the giant to drop that arm. Then, if you want to become stronger, you need to challenge the boss. It's okay to improve your level, but you can't beat the boss." Attributes of high-level races , so in the end, it feels like we have no choice but to evolve to a higher-order race. "
"That's it. So if there's a BOSS battle, I'll join in too
If Lilan wants to become stronger, besides upgrading, there are other ways to obtain evolution factors. Yes, this is common in older games.
While I was thinking this, Leylan called out to Shino with a wry smile.
"Same, Shino. I hope you and I can become stronger. But I envy you. You can become stronger through upgrades and experience, but I can only become stronger if I get something like an evolution factor."
Shino shook her head.
"I don't think so. Of course you need the evolution factor, but you are stronger than us and can gain experience like us. I have a heart."
A smile appeared on Lilan's face.
"It's reassuring to hear you say that. Let's become stronger together, Shino. And Kirito
"Yeah, I still have a lot to learn, and I have to become stronger, otherwise I won't be able to protect everyone, and I won't be able to end this castle."
Shino crossed his arms and stared at Zairan.
"Lilan has become stronger, and I must become stronger too. Kirito, let's go to the fifth floor quickly."
Being startled by Shino who suddenly started walking, Li Lan and I chased after her. Looking at her back, I suddenly thought of Shino.
"Shinon started practicing like this in order to become stronger, but he seems to not remember the reason, and I can't predict the reason." However, looking at the way Shino fought, it seemed that he was affected by some kind of Driven by great will.
In my opinion, Sinon wields the dagger because deep down he has a strong will to become stronger.
The strong will to power is something that ordinary people cannot have. Shino said that she came to this world because she should have received consultation from Medicuboit.
Shino seemed curious about why she ended up using medcuboit and why she received counseling, but I was also curious because I'm always curious. Honestly, I can't help but wonder what happened in Shino's past. Even if it violates SAO etiquette.
"There are so many things I want to know lately, and it's a bit of a headache." But as long as you stay with Shino, you will find out one day. If you climb up to this city, you might be able to find out Zairan's true identity. .
(1. Shino’s practice)
I muttered this in my mind and started walking side by side with Shino.
◇◇◇
We started training again in the lizard lair on the 5th floor, but I was still surprised there.
In the dim cave, Sinon quickly found the target lizard man and immediately started fighting. At this moment, the lizard man struck first, but Sinon suddenly dodged the lizard man's attack like a wild boar.
In addition, the lizardman's sword will dodge backward when it is swung horizontally, and it will take a step forward when it is swung vertically. He read the lizard man's movements without even landing a single blow, and showed us his movements as if he had been thinking about what to do next.
Enraged by Sinon's actions, the lizard man took advantage of his sword skills and thrust the dagger into the gap in the armor. While weakened by being pierced by the armor, Shino used her sword skills to further defeat the lizard man.
Lizardmen, unlike wild boars and bees, are difficult opponents for novices, so I expected Sinon to put up a tough fight, but that didn't happen at all. Sinon's fighting power is so high that even a lizard man can be easily defeated. They work well, learn quickly, and their dynamic vision is significantly higher than others.
"No, if something goes wrong, her kinetic vision may be better than mine, and it has great potential." In this way, Shino's sense of combat effectiveness shines through.
"You're strong, Shino. At least compared to other players, it shows remarkable movement. Seems more suited to fighting than I thought."
"Ah, that's true. Lizardmen are a difficult opponent for any player, but Sinon defeated them without a struggle. It can be said that his combat awareness is quite good."
"There is only one thing on my mind." That was Shino's movements, or the feeling when attacking. Sometimes Shino moves like the weapon doesn't fit in his hand, which he's been dragging since the fight with the boar.
"Maybe the dagger is not suitable." Having said that, it should be more suitable for my skin type than maces, spears, and swords, but it seems that there are still some things that are not suitable for me.
What is the most suitable weapon for Sinon... At that moment, Sinon seemed to be weak and fell suddenly. I ran to Shino in surprise and shouted.
"Are you okay, Shino?"
Looking at Shino's face, Shino's face turned pale.
"sorry.
"It's definitely a game that doesn't use the body." But instead, I'm using my brain full force, so if I continue to work normally, I get tired. What's more, Sinon has been fighting from early morning to noon. After such a hard fight, it's natural to feel tired.
"This game is a brain game. I've played it for so long and I'm tired. Let's go out and take a rest."
Shino whispered "I understand" and stood up. When I went out with Shino and Liran, the warm light and wind caressed my body. Level 5 of Aincrad looks like a good climate today. Under this situation, I whispered in my heart that I could take a good rest. When I left the lizard man cave and headed to the plains, Lilan called to me.
"Kirito, Sinon. If you want to rest, just lean on me.
With that said, Lilan sat down on the spot. Of course, Lelan's hair is warm, fluffy and feels so nice. If I could lean over to take a nap, it would feel like lying on a warm futon. It should be more effective for tired Shino.
"Can you let me rest, Lilan?"
"Of course. I'll keep training. You'd better rest
"Okay, rerun. Thank you. Let me lean over-"
As I looked at Lilan's body, I rolled my eyes involuntarily. Before I leaned over, Shino had already sat down and fell asleep next to Lilan. ...It seems that even Shino can doze off. Well, I've been fighting, so of course.
"Ahaha... I didn't expect Shino to be ahead of us."
"Because Sinon has been fighting. Although she is not good at fighting, she is really brave.
"I agree, then let me rest with you."
While sitting down against Risa's body, a sound escaped from Shino's mouth.
"Well... who... who are you..."
I couldn't help but stare at Shino. Shino's face gradually turned into a pained expression.
"It's just... that... I don't want to see... I don't want to see..."
"You seem to be dreaming." But judging from the expression and the text, the content is definitely not good.
"I, what should I do, what should I do, no, help me, someone help me"
My tone gradually changed to a plea for help, and I rushed forward to call for Shino.
"Hey, Shino, are you okay?"
"No no no..."
"She couldn't wake up even after I called her, and sweat started to form on Shino's face." This was a bit rough.
"Shino, get up, Shino!"
The moment I unconsciously put my hand on Shino's body and shook it, Shino opened her eyes.
