Just when I was surprised by this sudden series of events, Spiegel, who was acting as a defender because he was a long-range weapon, suddenly lowered his height and came to my side. There was surprise and impatience on his face, but there was also a mixture of all three, as if he had just realized something important.
"Spiegel, what happened? He fell."
"That's right! In order to catch this guy, you have to make it crash."
"What did you say?"
According to Der Spiegel, when we were attacked by the Serpent Dragon, everyone launched an attack regardless of melee magic, aiming at the wings of the Serpent Dragon, which was relatively easy to attack. Although the effect was not very good at the beginning, when we did not give up and continued to attack, strange things happened. The giant snake dragon failed to circle and fell down, crashing to the ground. At that time, it is said that a crack appeared in the carapace covering the entire body of the giant snake dragon. It seems that the damage caused by this fall melted the first part of the Serpentosaur's "hp bar".
When I heard this story, I felt a light flash in my mind. Perhaps the giant snake dragon's weakness is its own weight.
The last of the three mythical beasts we face so far is the Serpent Dragon Nidhogg, which is larger than any other monster we've encountered so far and is covered in a carapace capable of blocking most attacks. With such a huge body and a strong shell, its weight must be unimaginable for real creatures.
If such a huge body falls, the weight of the dragon will be a disaster. The damage and impact to the body of the giant snake dragon will be much greater than our attack. Although the armor-like carapace surrounding the Serpentosaur's body is strong enough to withstand our attacks, it cannot withstand the impact of such a heavy Serpentosaur falling. I haven't done that yet.
"is that so?"
"what have you found?"
I told the confused Shino, Asuna, Lilane, and Spiegel about the strategy I had come up with to capture the Serpentosaurus. The Serpent's shell was not designed to withstand the impact of a fall, but was designed to break upon falling, and the Serpent itself would be damaged by its own weight as it fell. The inside of the giant snake dragon's carapace was originally protected by a hard carapace, so when the giant snake dragon's carapace was completely cut open, his entire body would become his weak point.
When the Serpentosaurus is flying, attack its wings to stop it from moving, causing it to smash its shell. Once all are broken, defeat it in one go. After explaining all the strategies for capturing the giant snake dragon, Asuna showed an understanding gesture.
"So that's it! I should have smashed his shell with the impact of the fall!"
"That's not all!"
Then, a little fairy with long silver hair appeared in front of us. When the five of them set their sights on Quinella, who was in the same seafaring elf form as Yui, Quinella began to talk about the serpent dragon.
In any case, the dragon is weak to fire-type attacks, and its weak point is probably being attacked in its mouth. The giant snake dragon landed on the ground to breathe, and then opened its big mouth to inhale the surrounding cold air, ice and snow. However, if you use fire attribute magic to attack the inside of its mouth at this time, it will cause a huge... Cause some damage.
Indeed, since that guy exudes the aura of ice, his body is inevitably cold, and he probably cannot withstand the burning of high temperatures.
"Is this why he opened his mouth so wide on purpose and did something like this?"
"It felt like a bomb went off in my stomach. Because it's real it might work."
I nodded at Spiegel's words. Being able to make the fire attribute magic that you are not good at explode in your body is equivalent to exploding in your stomach, and it should be able to cause huge damage. Let it fall to collect damage, and when it hits the ground ready to fire ice breath, throw fire magic into its mouth - this is probably how to defeat the Serpent Dragon.
"Okay, we are all organized! Let's follow this strategy and tell everyone!"
When I stood up and gave the order, Asuna, Shino, and Spiegel nodded and returned to the sky. Immediately afterwards, the giant snake dragon also recovered its posture, flapped its wings, and began to return to the sky. By this time, it seemed like everyone had figured out the plan, and everyone's approach had changed. Now that you know how to conquer it, it's yours - you'll think so and be excited. Realizing this, I turned to my partner sitting next to me.
"If you run again, we will go too."
"Can you win?"
\"I have found a way to win. To achieve it, your strength is indispensable. Let us unite again and become a human dragon.\"
However, Lilan lowered her head again. Since he had his head down, I could see his face and I could tell the look on his face was one of losing confidence and calmness and becoming anxious.
\"Will my attack be effective against that guy? If I fight him, I will put you in danger again. To a certain extent, I am not suitable to be your 'relative'"
Rilan's words clearly showed that something was wrong. In order to hear this, though, you need to end the battle, and you can't advance unless you win the boss battle. Besides, we don’t have time to sit around and wait. Thinking of this, I lowered my posture and put my hand on my partner's head.
"I'll ask as much about you later as possible, so please switch to your 'familiar' form again. Once again I want you to put me in that section."
\"Do I have to fight? Am I not in the way?\"
"I've never thought of you like this. Please, fight me again, Lilan."
I looked up at Lilan's red eyes. Sure enough, his trembling still did not subside and his expression became uncontrollable, but this did not change the fact that this battle required Lilan's strength to win.
"Please rerun."
\"I understand. Since it is your instruction, I must obey it.\"
After saying that, my partner stood up, took a few steps away from me, and his whole body was once again enveloped in strong platinum light. When the light burst out, Lilan's appearance had changed from a girl with blond hair and wolf ears to a ferocious wolf dragon.
For a moment, I thought it was so damaged that it might not be able to transform into its wolf-dragon form, but I was relieved that wasn't the case, so I jumped on the item, straddled it, and grabbed it. Its mane, I held it tightly. Lilan and I will once again complete the human-dragon mission that was doubted because Lilan lost her will to fight.
\"Kirito, listen again.\"How can I defeat him?
"Let him fall down first, then his shell will break, and then you'll attack immediately. Then, when he starts to breathe in and out, aim for his mouth and use your breath. I should just put the breath in Put it in my mouth."
\"I don't know, no, I didn't even think about it, I\"
"Yeah, it won't work even if you shoot your breath all over the place, so this time I will let you follow my instructions."
"Understood. I will follow your instructions correctly.
After saying these words that made him feel very special, Lilan flapped her wings vigorously and flew into the sky at a very fast speed. Within a few seconds, I reached the height where the giant snake dragon and others were. Although I was being attacked by the huge body of the giant snake dragon in front of me, I still attacked it with its wings, sometimes using magic, and from time to time. The action resumed and the spectacle of everyone preparing to fight began to spread. The giant snake dragon that they had been fighting just now has a huge body that makes other monsters look like peas. And as long as it moves its huge body, it can carry out super-range attacks.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire body of the Serpent Dragon has an attack range, but the Serpent Dragon has the same charge attack as the Giant Eagle Dragon Herasvelg, the head of the three sacred beasts, and the second one, I didn’t He is seen launching hand-to-hand attacks like Ratatosk, the sand-furred beast among the three divine beasts, using a series of punch attacks.
Even if it does, it will just tremble and swipe you with its arms, or swing its body hard enough to sweep you down with its tail. And the grass-cutting attack by its tail seems to involve even the floating island, and it can also throw the floating island itself like a stone. However, no matter what, it moves very slowly. If it flies at high speed, it can completely escape the range and avoid it.
"Instead, because it's so big, it seems impossible to move quickly." It makes up for its sluggishness by using its massive body for an all-out attack and protecting it with an armor-like shell. In other words, although the dragon appears to be an impenetrable fortress at first glance, its slowness must also be its weakness.
The obvious weakness of the Serpentosaurus is that it can be targeted by the wings that support its huge body, but even though everyone has been attacking it from just now, it shows no signs of falling or losing its balance. nor. As is a common pattern with ALo monsters, the durability of the wings themselves may increase after crashing once.
\"Since everyone's weapons and magic attacks are effective against Wings, then Lilanne's attacks should also be effective.\"
"Run again, watch his movements carefully, aim for the wings, burn the wings and shoot him down."
\"It's like shooting down a battleship in the air with a fighter jet. Is that possible?\"
"I can do that. I'll let the guy who left you blow a bubble."
\"Got it. I'm holding on tight
With a "voice" in her head, Lilan headed towards the giant snake dragon at the same high speed as before. Although the giant snake dragon released such a powerful aura, the sky was still cloudy and the wind was freezing.
That's right, the giant snake dragon is the incarnation of this coldness, it can be said to be the Helothild itself. Cold is weaker than heat, and Lilan is good at manipulating heat. There was a mistake in the way he attacked just now. Lilan can be said to be the natural enemy of the giant snake dragon. With it as a companion, we will never lose to the giant snake dragon.
As if they understood this, everyone took action together, aiming at the wings of the giant snake dragon. Some used fire attribute sword skills, and some used fire attribute magic to burn the wings of the giant snake dragon. However, the Serpentosaurus had to deal with the damage caused by falling, and large cracks appeared on its carapace. Although it was slow, its attack power was considerable, and the creature was approaching, occasionally moving its wings. It comes and tries to fight it off.
However, everyone was not scared by this, but took advantage of the gap between the giant snake dragon's attacks to continue attacking. Of course, since Lilan and I flew very close to the Serpentosaurus, we almost collided with its arms, legs, wings, etc., but every time Lilan suddenly accelerated, decelerated, or made evasive movements, we avoided it. They, continue to pass through without any damage.
Immediately afterwards, the giant snake dragon twisted its body and launched an attack. Its wings blew everyone away. But at the moment it finished its attack and resumed its posture, the giant snake dragon's wings came to me and stopped. Come down. .speak out.
"Now, Lilan, breathe your breath into his wings!"
After receiving instructions similar to those received during the boss battle in SAo, Lilan suddenly opened her mouth, allowing the flames in her body to expand, and fired a huge fire bomb from her mouth. Multiple fire bombs were shot out with a roar like a stationary cannon being fired, and they flew towards the wings of the giant snake dragon, and then a huge explosion occurred. After the explosive flames engulfed Yuiichi's weakness, the giant snake dragon let out a rare scream, lost its balance, and stopped flapping its wings.
Within a few seconds, the giant snake dragon's heavy body fell at an alarming speed and fell into the ice-covered ground again.
The roar and shock wave seemed to go straight to the depths of my stomach. Although I was about to be blown away, I didn't miss the sound as if something hard had finally broken. I heard it immediately. Turn towards the direction of the serpent dragon. Because such a huge creature fell, the area near where the giant snake dragon fell was shrouded in white snow smoke, even covering the giant snake dragon's body. Finally, a cold wind swept through Frohilde, It disappeared as if it had been torn into pieces.
The giant snake dragon that walked out of the snow smoke was no longer a black carapace but was covered in scales. The armor-like black and silver carapace was completely peeled off from the giant snake dragon's body and fell to the ground. There. Perhaps the carapace of the Serpentosaurus was not something the Serpentosaurus was born with, but it was probably something similar to armor that was collected while buried underground. This is what deflects our weapons and renders our attacks useless.
But now that it has been removed, it should be able to attack anywhere on the Serpentosaur's body. If we don’t attack now, when will we attack?
"Now that the shell has been torn off, the attack should be effective everywhere. Everyone, attack now!!"
When I gave the order, everyone was surprised to find that the dragon turned into something they had never seen before, and they all flew towards the dragon. However, the next moment, the giant snake dragon stood up, opened its claws on its back, and began to suck in the surrounding air and ice and snow with great force.
I immediately understood the intention of the Serpent Dragon, and once again shot us with the strong freezing ray breath that surprised us just now, and this time, I made a sound as strong as the airflow, and attacked the Serpent Dragon.
"Prepare a long-range attack! Attack Nidhogg's mouth!!"
My instructions were conveyed to everyone, but they were not defeated by the wind. Sinon and Spiegel, who were good at long-range attacks, used explosive arrows. Leafa and Cam, who were good at magic attacks, used intermediate fire magic. Finally, Lilan was A giant, I jumped in front of the snake dragon and threw the burning breath of light into its mouth. About three seconds later, there was a dull impact sound similar to an explosion in the dragon's body. The dragon was spitting out black smoke and screaming, and fell to the ground.
At the same time, we discovered that the "life bar" of the Serpentosaurus was the last one. Unless we learned how to capture it, there was no way to reduce it, so we worked together to move towards the Serpentosaurus. Once, when Silica and Filia arrived first, they released their sword skills at the same time.
"Tiaahhhhhh!!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
The two have one thing in common: they both use daggers. The first Silica slashed the giant snake dragon's body eight times at a speed that was visible to the naked eye but difficult to catch, while the other Philia moved forward quickly and slashed the giant dragon's body six times. Lisbeth and Diabell arrived almost at the same time, and the eight-hit dagger sword skill "Accelerated Assault" and the six-hit dagger sword skill "Phantom Fang" exploded.
I reached it and let the light rest on the one-handed staff and one-handed sword in my hands.
"See you ahhhhh!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
With a roar, Lisbeth swung down the staff of light with one hand, causing an explosion. Diabell moved and slashed the giant snake dragon four times with the sword of light. The one-handed sword skill "Elf Bomber", which causes an explosion by swinging a one-handed stick, and the one-handed sword skill "Horizontal Grid", which attacks four times continuously while moving, exploded. This time Egil and Ste Rhea arrives.
Straya slashed horizontally with his big sword, while Agil swung his two-handed ax with all his strength, unleashing three consecutive strikes. When the two-handed sword skill "Breaking Time" and the three-hit two-handed ax sword skill "Yuan Sanzhan" exploded, the "life bar" of the giant snake dragon was cut in half.
In less than a few seconds, Leafa, Klein, Cam, and Yuuki arrived and activated their sword skills at the same time. Leafa and Yuuki seemed to synchronize their strength and charged out with powerful thrusts, while Klein and Kaim slashed the dragon's body into pieces with swords wrapped in flames.
When the piercing attack sword skill "Decapitation Attack" and the fire-attribute sword skill "Red" that have existed since SAo were fully activated, I jumped from the Lilan part, holding the sword in both hands, and landed on the body of the giant snake dragon with the same Lilan, who was good at dual-wielding swords, moved at the same time and performed her sword skills almost simultaneously.
“I will solve this matter!!”
"I will decide this matter!!!"
The sixteen-fold dual-wielding sword technique "Starburst Style" that has been used since SAo to kill opponents like a sword dance with both hands. Yu's and my sword dance chopped up the giant serpent dragon's true body wrapped in soft scales at an astonishing speed, and decided the final blow almost at the same time.
The sound of sword flash echoed in Herotilde's ears, and the "hp bar" of the giant serpent dragon finally returned to zero and disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the dragon's body was enveloped in light blue light and turned into a human figure, triggering a large explosion of light.
When it stops, Nidhogg, the giant serpent dragon that has been tormenting us, disappears without a trace, and figures celebrating the will appear.
Flotilde's battle to capture the regional boss, which seemed more difficult than usual, also ended successfully at this time.
\"Hey, Yui-chan! Where are you going?\"
"Lilan? Why is this happening suddenly?"
"I have no idea.
We successfully conquered the area boss in Frohilde and obtained the final orb item. The last gem I got was blue and seemed to represent Frohilde herself, and when it went into the inventory the three gems I'd collected so far suddenly appeared in front of me, glowing intensely. , and then disappeared.
Just when we were all surprised by such a sudden event, an information window appeared, informing me that the last area of Svartalfheim, "Underworld\/Rocky Field Nibelheim", had been liberated.
By checking, we learned that the previous event was an Underworld open event, and we also noticed that "Underworld-Rocky Field Nibelheim" appeared in the destination. My gamer instincts kicked in when I heard the final area was finally revealed and I almost got excited, but then I remembered there was one more thing I needed to confirm, so I took a break and headed to Nibelheim, deciding to head back to the city and strategize . We passed through the portal, left Flohild, and returned to the Sky City Line.
"Yeah, the air in the town is so warm."
After arriving in the city, everyone nodded at Lisbeth's words and also took a deep breath. In the real world, we entered a portal that was reminiscent of the cold zones of the North and South Pole. Maybe because there, I felt very warm, like the spring breeze. When I took a deep breath, I felt very warm. . I couldn't help but feel that my cold body was gradually getting warmer.
However, in the middle of this, I remembered that we were behind Clover, and something big had happened on Lilan's side, so I immediately looked back at everyone.
"So what should we do now? Let's go back to our usual coffee shop."
Everyone who heard my voice looked surprised and stopped taking a deep breath. Immediately afterwards, Klein came to my side and called me.
"Yeah, that's like our war room, so let's go there now. Ah, Egil, when we get to the coffee shop, I'll order you some hot drinks."
"I know, you must be cold, so I went to the store and poured you some hot drinks."
Egil nodded in response to Klein's request and looked around like me. Perhaps it was because he had just fought in a cold area and felt comfortable even breathing the city air. There was no condition for the next step of strategy, and most importantly, there was a strategy meeting. Future strategy, this is necessary.
If it's Egil's shop, we always use it as a place for strategy meetings and to order hot drinks and food. It's the perfect place for those of us who need a strategy meeting and a hot drink.
"Okay, now let's go to Egil's store. And"
\"Hey, Kirito.\"
Just when I was about to greet everyone, I suddenly heard a voice behind me, which made me slightly startled on the spot. It was a deep voice that sounded like that of a man older than me. I looked back and felt like I had heard this sound somewhere, and even talked to the person who made it, and then I was surprised again.
A tall and handsome young man with short light blue hair and blue-purple eyes, wearing a sleeveless combat uniform with a white background and dotted with blue lines, which is unique to Windinnis equipment. There is also the Emperor, who is the elite of the Clover Elite of the large guild that is hostile to us, and was revealed to be the "Beast Tamer".
"Your Majesty, it seems we have lost this time."
"that's right.
When Filia, who had gathered intelligence in advance, told us in front of the regional boss, the Serpent Dragon, we found that we were already lagging behind Clover. When we were preparing to challenge the giant snake dragon Nidhogg, the Clover clan was already talking about seizing the underworld, and they also expressed their readiness to challenge the underworld.
And now, thanks to the emperor's words, it turns out that the story is true.
"I think so. But we will make up for this delay immediately. It's too early to boast of victory."
\"Very dynamic. But yes. Capturing Frohild is just a passing point. From here is the second half of the Swalt area. We are overtaking them now, but you can't see the end.\" Because This is your opponent. "
The emperor's tone of voice made people think that he had recognized us as opponents. In it, I felt like I knew who the author of the story was because we didn't read the words until the very end.
\"Is that what that person said? It seems that Xiaoqi is doing well too.\"
Having said this, the emperor's eyebrows moved slightly, and then slowly lowered. Apparently, they didn't like me mentioning Xiao Qi's name.
"What do you mean? Why is Xiaoqi's name mentioned there?"
"I feel like I haven't seen her lately and she's still a baby, so I'm worried she's pushing too hard."
"This is not your concern. Xiaoqi works with lofty ideals that you and others can never achieve, unlike a humble person like you."
It is true that Number Seven is an idol in ALo, but in the real world, she is a genius scientist comparable to Kayaba Akihiko and Serizawa Alice. It is not an exaggeration to say that we live in a different dimension, but when we met and chatted a while ago, I discovered that she was still a twelve-year-old child, and I also understood that he was just a child. Who excels in science.
Although Xiaoqi is regarded as a god by various media and Clover people, he is not a god worthy of worship.
"I don't know what to say. Although that girl is only a twelve-year-old child, under the siege of adults, she is desperately trying to live up to the expectations of the people around her. A god with such power." Extraordinary power. I don't think it's right to treat her like this. That girl she's not a god or anything. "
\"Seven recognized you. However, I have no right to say anything about Clover's future activities.\"
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, another white ball of light appeared on his shoulder and made a slight sound. What emerged from the light ball was a shoulder-sized fox demon with white fur, blue patterns, and nine tails and nine lines. When I met Huang a few days ago, I saw his 'acquaintance', but I haven't seen him since.
Although it was unclear what kind of power the emperor's "familiar" possessed, he turned his face to us and whispered "Konkon". Then, Huang spoke again.
\"And Kirito, if you catch up with us like this, you and I may come to blows.\"
"Maybe so. So what should I do?"
"If you can defeat me then, I will admit you.
"I won't let you do this. I will catch up with you soon, so be prepared."
When I said this with all my strength, Huang snorted, turned his back to us, walked towards the square, and disappeared into the crowd of players. We're in a position equivalent to fighting Clover, and I think if we compete with Clover like this, we'll end up fighting Palace.
Moreover, the last area called "Reversal of the World" has been opened, we are behind Clover, and what Huang said is the fact that the game between me and Clover has been determined. I think so. The emperor intends to fight with me.
"I don't know when that day will come, but I am sure that I will fight the Emperor." And when that time comes, I must win and find out the Emperor's intentions - just as I was thinking this, I turned around Coming to face everyone, a voice rang in his ears.
\"Wait a minute, sister!?\"
A girl's voice sounded panicked. I wondered what was going on with everyone, then turned to see a little girl with long black hair walking away from us. That was Yui, returning from her Navigation Elf form to her original form.
\"Hey, Yui-chan! Where are you going?\"
Yui immediately turned around, ran towards me as fast as she could, and stopped in front of me. I don't know why, but after talking to the emperor, Lilan suddenly said to Yui: "I'm going to the hotel to sleep for a while." Then she went to the hotel. It can be seen that Yui seems to want to catch up immediately.
"Lilan? Why is this happening suddenly?"
"I have no idea.
\"I'm going too, Yui. I can't let you go alone. Kirito, I'm sorry, I will be absent too.\"
Yui is always by Riran's side, but sometimes Riran doesn't talk to Yui. Even if Straya joins them, there will be a lot of meaningless things, but even so, it is better than nothing, and even in the city center, it is too dangerous for Yui to act alone. I turned to Strea and nodded.
"I understand, both of you asked me, Lilan, and he seems to want to talk to me about something."
"Okay, let me ask your sister."
Just as Yui said this, Strea also lined up beside her, and the two of them immediately ran towards the hotel. We players can only roughly know the current location of other players, but they are all mhhp and mhcp, so they can detect each other's whereabouts in detail. There will be no problem if you follow Relan. If it were them, I could leave Lilan to them. We must hold a strategy meeting to formulate next steps.
"Everyone, leave Lilan to Yui and the others. Let's go to the coffee shop."
Although everyone looked disappointed, they still obeyed my instructions, nodded, and continued walking forward. I was one of them, and a few minutes later I walked into Egil's coffee shop.
As soon as they entered the Egil coffee shop that they were accustomed to, the owner Egil quickly asked everyone what hot drinks they wanted to drink and the name of the product, then walked to the kitchen and started working. Make hot drinks. Before we knew it, we, who had become guests, were sitting in chairs, leaning against the wall, as we always do at strategy meetings, and it was time for the strategy meeting.
Due to the structure of the coffee shop, even Egil in the kitchen could hear me, so I looked around and shouted to everyone.
\"Then, it's good enough that you defeated the boss for the time being. The boss is indeed a very strong guy, but we can't let it go. So, let's quickly start the next capture meeting——\"
\"Wait, Kirito-kun.\"
At this time, Asuna raised her hand and interrupted her. I think I can tell what Asuna was thinking from her expression. Her expression seemed to be extremely worried about something, but just when she was about to say something based on this, Diabell shouted: "Here we come."
\"Kirito, can Lilan use the same strategy?\"
""
I looked around and found that everyone had worried expressions on their faces, and they seemed to be worried about Lilan who was now staying in the hotel. In the previous battle with the giant snake dragon, Lilan was defeated miserably. Since SAo, everyone has fought side by side with Lilan and witnessed all of Lilan's victories, so everyone must be surprised by Lilan's failure.
At this time, Silica, who is an animal trainer like me and has a good relationship with Lilan, came to me. A worried look on his face.
\"Kirito-san and Lilan-san, you lost.\"
\"Ah. I thought it would happen anyway but it turned out to be true.\"
"Lilan, you are hurt badly, aren't you? Lilan seems very confident in her own strength."
Lisbeth, who had also seen Lilan's strength since SAo, lined up beside Silica. Lizbeth has also experienced Lelan's undefeated streak, so it's no surprise that today's event was incredible. In fact, I can't believe "Lelan" has become "Remain Light".
However, we already know the reason for Lelan's failure. Because Ruiran is a wolf dragon, the strongest dragon, he can defeat any monster he faces, but the power of the giant snake dragon exceeds Ruiran, the strongest dragon.
We finally got to a difficulty level where a monster appeared that was more powerful than the strongest dragon or even Lilan, who was defeated by that monster.
"That Nidhogg is stronger than Lilan, and Lilan's strength has reached its limit."
"That's true, but wasn't Lilan's behavior strange at that time?"
In response to Asuna's question, I instinctively turned my head away. Indeed, at that time, Lilan lost her usual calmness and seemed very anxious, constantly saying things like "I'm in trouble." I clearly realized that things were different from usual, so I told everyone while answering Asuna.
After the story ended, Leafa made a confused sound.
"You are hindering Lilan, not hindering!"
"Yes, but he seems oddly worried about that. But I don't quite understand why"
We're sure something happened, but the important Lilan seems to be sleeping in the hotel, and while Yui and Strea have gone to question him, it's unclear when he'll be back. Just when I was thinking about what happened to Lilan, I heard the door of the cafe open, and a voice rushed into the cafe.
"I bothered you."
When our attention turned to the voice of a mature woman, we were slightly surprised.
Standing at the door of the store is a woman with long dark green hair, large breasts, and a light green kimono-like dress. There is also a woman with ears and tails reminiscent of wild beasts, and two girls with unique brown skin and Two girls. She has short blond hair and wears rather revealing clothes.
The Elf Tribe Lord Sakuya and the Cait Sith Tribe Lord Alishalu, who are good friends with Leafa and Cam, two people who were not expected to come to the café, came to the café.
\"Sakuya-san and Alisa-san!?\"
\"Ah, Kirito-san. The others are here too.\"
"Why are you here?"
Just then, Cam answered. Anyway, while we were talking to Sumeragi, Kaimu secretly contacted Sakuya and asked her to go to the cafe with Alisa, telling Alisa that there was trouble between me and my 'acquaintance'. Apparently, he asked too. She wants to ride with him. So Sakuya agreed to the request of Kaim, her companion whom she regarded as her younger brother, and came to the coffee shop with Alyssa.
"when will you..."
\"Because, the fastest way to talk to Miss Alyssa is to ask your sister. Thank you for coming.\"
"No, no, I want to talk to you too, so that's perfect."
After Sakuya and Kaim finished communicating, Alisa came to see me. The look on his face looked like he was congratulating us. Maybe they also heard that we successfully advanced to the underworld.
\"Kirito-kun, I heard that you successfully conquered Frohilde?\"
"Yes. I defeated the area boss, but"
"but?"
"Something happened."
So I basically told the two lords Sakuya and Alisa everything that happened up to now. When we finished talking about Frohilde's boss, what happened in that boss battle, and Lilan's failure, Sakuya looked a little surprised, while Alyssa seemed to understand the situation completely.
\"So that's it, Xiao Lilan was finally killed.\"
"Yes, in the end, Lilan lost."
"Arisa's eyes seem to be looking at something familiar." Arisa is the lord of Cait Sith, a race that can become "tamers" before applying seeds. She is the best familiar "familiar" among our friends. and the "tamer" people.. Alyssa has probably come to me many times for advice from players who, like me, have trouble with "familiarity".
As the lord of the Cait Sith territory and a counselor who can be called an "acquaintance", Alyssa seemed to have thought of something and started talking to me again.
\"Kirito-kun, I've always been curious, but what are Lilan-chan's attributes and attributes like? If you don't mind, can you show me?\"
"Ah, okay."
With that said, I opened the window, accessed Lelan's status window, made it visible to other players, and called Alisha.
In this ALo, just like us players, the "familiar" also gains ability points as the proficiency increases, and by allocating them to the four states of StR, VIt, AGI and dEx, the "familiar" is designed to make the "familiar" "Intensity increase. Familiarity itself improves.
This is the so-called skill swing, which can be said to be the most important element in cultivating a "messenger". By performing appropriate and unique skill swings, the future strength of the "messenger" may be created through the influence of its personality and ability, "taming the beast" The "familiarity" unique to "teacher".
It is no exaggeration to say that there are as many characters as there are "familiar" players in this ALo. And since there are monsters that evolve based on the value of that attribute roll, this also proves that attribute fluctuations are more than just strengthening "familiar" elements.
Of course, I'm also allocating the ability points Lelan gains each time he gains proficiency, and I believe I'm taking advantage of his stats in a balanced way. Alyssa looked at the status screen that appeared after repeating such actions, and whispered: "Yeah."
"I see. Kirito-kun, your performance is very balanced."
“That’s what I want to do, but is it better to focus on one thing?”
\"That's not true. If anything, you could say that the way you treated Riran was exemplary. Riran is to be cherished.\"
Then Alyssa turned back to me from the status window. This face is not much different from usual, but if anything, it has a light and rough expression.
"However, Little Riran's basic ability itself is much lower than other 'magic pets'. Other" devils' with the same proficiency, the ability value is higher. "
"is that so!?
As far as I learned from Elisa and Lan, I learned that the race of Lilan is known as the "Wolf Dragon" and is the strongest among the dragons. It has the same strength as the superior dragon named Faner. It seems to be a type.
The original name of Lan's current stage is "Phoenix Dragon Fenilia", and this phoenix wolf dragon is said to be stronger than any one dragon on the ALO continent, a bit like a secret boss. Although any player can make this Phoenix Dragon a 'Royal Beast', it is said that its difficulty is similar to that of ancient weapons or legendary weapons.
It can be said that it is a rare item in rare items, but recently it is found that if it evolved, it can be evolved into the 'wolf dragon system', and the 'beast trainer'. There are dragon attributes. I heard that they are desperately evolving into \ "Wolf Dragon \". However, there are still a few players who can get 'wolf dragon type' at present, and they have not yet become popular.
I do n’t know what it feels like if it has a hidden BOSS power, if it is defeated by another \ "Magic \"?
"Indeed, but before the liberation of the Swat area, the wolf dragon was very strong. Now, it is best to turn the monsters in the Swat region into a demon and evolve them, which is not uncommon than you. "
"is that so"
\ "In this way, the Riran sauce has reached the stage of evolution. If you want Riran sauce to win, you must evolve RiRAN sauce, right?"
\ "Indeed, during the SAO, Lilan defeated BOSS, evolved, and led us to the light." If Lan did not evolve at that time, we had already died in SAO, and Lilan himself did not now. It will appear in this world. Although Lilan's evolution is an important factor, I ignore it.
As a result, he fought with his strong guy with his weak ability, and eventually failed. As a result, Lan's defeat made him feel that he was burden, not someone else, it was me, Lan's master.
"So he was so anxious that he said that he was a burden."
"Well?
Just when I was ready to put my hand on my chin, I was surprised to see Alice's face there. I just said Lilan's words, but this seemed to attract my attention.
"Oh, yeah, Lan also said just now, and your performance today seems a bit strange."
\ "Is that is it?
"Ah, it seems very likely."
When Ye Ye heard Elisa's call, he nodded. Looking at the two of them, I felt what I knew, but I couldn't guess what they noticed. It seems that everyone is difficult to hide the interaction between the two, and the entire cafe has begun to become a little lively. However, Alice asked me again regardless of hesitation.
\ "Kirong, do you watch the MMO live broadcast broadcast on Wednesday? \"
"MMO live broadcast?"
The MMO stream is a special program about various MMO games on the Internet channel. Although the week is irregular, it is broadcast about ten times a month. It can be seen on the live program channel and TV channels of the online video website. If you play MMO, it is worth seeing the game. It is said that it looks good, and I take a look from time to time.
However, when MMO live broadcast on Wednesday night, I just sneaked into ALO to continue doing the task, so I didn't see it after all.
"I haven't seen this week. What happened?"
"This week's MMO live broadcast has a person named" Winners this week "appeared there."
The "winner this week" is undoubtedly a corner of the MMO stream, and every week, he invites and interview top players from various VRMMO games. If that's just that, it is no different from inviting stars in TV or online programs, but I do n’t know that the other party is not an artist, but because top VRMMO players appear at the scene in the form of virtual characters. -SAN is known for its higher ratings than other interview programs.
"What's wrong with the winner this week?"
"That is..."
\ "Master Kirito, you are here. \"
Quinela's voice seemed to interrupt Elisa's voice. When everyone was around, they turned to face, but found that Quinel opened a window and revealed it. The content of that window is a browser that visited a major video website and played what Eliza just said \ "The winner this week".
"Quinel, is this the winner of this week?"
"It seems like this, then let's take a look."
"If there is a real thing, everyone will see it, and that scene will appear soon."
Quinel nodded to Elisa, then enlarged the window, and stuck it on the wall like a screen. When everyone's attention focuses on the screens that appear on the wall and the \ "Winners this week" that are playing there, Arisa issued an instruction to Kuinera, moved the playbar to a problem -operated scene, and pressed it to press. Play the play button.
"Agi agility has become the past!"
At the beginning of the video, a man with gorgeous blue silver hair and eyes was covered by accessories such as sunglasses. The high -pitched voice echoed in the coffee shop. This person seems to be a top player known as the "winner this week", and I also learned from the content of the conversation that he is also the top player in ALO.
"Well, improving AGI is indeed important. In fact, fast" magic pets "have high evasion capabilities, and there are" magic pets "that have evolved by increasing AGI. However, if you raise all of them in AGI, they It will not become a powerful "demons", and even if you improve the dragon's AGI, they will not evolve into the strongest species. Now, "fast 'familiar" is a strong one. "It has become the past."
A person who speaks proud. Although the voice of speaking is quite high, there are many ridicule and ridicule. A girl wearing popular clothing (probably the host) is talking to such a man.
"But aren't you the first to say that, Mr. Zakiside? \" Make the Magic \ "It is said that he has the strongest AGI specialty. Also, I don’t say that if you can tame the Dragon, and you specialize Its AGI, will it evolve into the strongest wolf dragon? "
"I tell you. The wolf is a powerful monster, so I want to be a" dragon trainer \ "that can follow them, so I have experienced a lot of attempts and errors.
However, the evolution of the werewolf species is not AGI specialization. The foundation of the wolf dragon is fast, so I think that improving AGI may be the key to evolution, but it seems that this is not the case. This is my rapid response. Well, I soon found the right way and successfully obtained the werewolf. "
The man named Zakside had just fallen, and the light behind him exploded, and something appeared. A dragon with a wolf outline, wearing a black and orange mixed fur, growing a pair of wings similar to rapto on his back. Everyone was surprised to raise the voice and see the appearance of a wolf dragon. Its shape is basically the same as Li Ran. Although there is no shell, and the color is different, the poem came to me and said.
"Wait, and there is a Lilan!?"
"He may be different types of people with Lilan. But is he the same dragon tamper as me?"
Perhaps, this man named Zakiside is a "dragon trainer", which can get a rare dragon species that is difficult to tame, especially the wolf dragon species, which is rare. The winner "". He must be called.
The Zexceed on the screen continues.
\ "Well, that's it. It is incorrect that the information of the dragon can become a wolf dragon by increasing the AGI. I'm really sorry. But it doesn't matter. \" Demon Pet \ "can be replaced multiple times. If it is wrong, you can delete it. It tames wrong, and then raise it.
A weak "acquaintance" can only become a burden, so if you make a mistake, throw it away and raise it! Oh, by the way, the evolutionary method of this dragon belongs to business secrets, and I hope everyone will explore it together. "
Hearing Zekside's words, I was angry deep in my heart.
What a heartless thing to say. Friends who make magic is not different from other players, but it is a barrier, so it is a barrier, so throw it away. Moreover, the person who said such a word even used the same wolf dragon as me, and I couldn't help but even more angry.
Immediately afterwards, Elisa instructed Quenera to stop playing the video. The next moment, the browser opened by Kuiraira was closed, and the window returned to the original size. However, at that time, the coffee shop was in silence, and even after the video was over, no one could say a word.
\ "What are you throwing away your weak 'Magic"! "
Claine first broke the silence. When I looked at him, I saw him holding his fist tightly, a frustrated expression. Hearing Zekside's words, his feelings seemed to be almost the same as me.
Subsequently, Silika said while hugging her baby "acquaintance" Pina.
\ "" Familiar \ "should not be treated like this. but why? \"
\ "Sister, Miss Elisa, what is this zexceed? \"
When Kaim asked, Alisha explained to everyone. This Zakist is a player of the Andoni. It is said that they are the same as me and Silika.
Originally, in this ALO, only Cait Sith could become a "beast trainer", but because The SEED merged a few months before the start of the ALO, players in addition to Cat Sith can also become "animal trainers". Now I can do things.
At that time, the official announced that it could tame the powerful monsters of the Dragon tribe, but Zexceed was said to have spread such news: if you specifically specialize in your AGI, you will reach the wolf dragon, and even if the facts are not the case, as long as the AGI is improved, your \ "demon Pet \ "will become the strongest.
When the explanation was approaching the end, Alice sighed deeply.
"But what Zexceed is talking about lies. It is impossible to become the strongest by increasing AGI, and it is impossible to become a wolf dragon through special attack AGI. "SA". "
\ "When others were looking for each other, Zexceed successfully won the same" Magic \ "as Kirito Lan. Zexceed wrongly proposed "Make Magic \". By spreading the news, he weakened the opponent's strength. \ "" Beast Trainer and obtained a powerful beast for himself. Moreover, Zexist itself is a very strong one itself Players, so his nature is even worse. "
Like Elisa, Ye Ye showed a frustration expression. Among the "Beast Trainer" of the Elf clan, many people were deceived by Zekside's lies and heard his voice. It seems that Zexeed's lies are very widely damaged.
\ "Also, Zekside also said that if you want to get the strongest" Mo Mo \ ", you should immediately throw away the weak" Magic \ ".
At that moment, when I heard Alice's supplementary explanation, there was a hint of light in my mind. I felt that everything related to today's Lilian seemed to be connected by a line. At the same time, today's BOSS battle, Lan's attitude and appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.
Lan seemed to lose his usual calmness and rushed to defeat the giant snake dragon, and when he lost, he said he was obstructive. And the weakness of Zetu Wudao is a foothold, so throw it away. Perhaps it was Lilan -when I was about to think, Lifa came to me. A worry expression on his face.
"Ohi sauce, I think Lilan thinks will abandon him. He mistakenly thinks that he is a weak and an obstacle."
"!"
What Lifa said was exactly what I thought. Lilan has felt the limit of her strength. But at the time he heard Zekside's words, and thought he would be abandoned by me as a weak "Magic". But I want to deny this, so today I launched an unreasonable battle to the dragon, and I failed in the end.
And what he said to me before challenging the giant snake dragon is probably about whether he is willing to give up himself, or whether he is a hindered thing.
"Now she may think that I will abandon her." Just as I considered whether she would draw conclusions, Asuna and Jupiter came to me together and shouted my name. His face showed his expression on his face, and he seemed to have the same idea as me.
\ "Kirito Junli Lan \"
\ "Lilan is" acquaintances \ "of my Yi Yi. Even if you criticize me low efficiency, Lilan is also my "acquaintance \". I have no intention of using anyone other than Lilan as my "acquaintances." '' "
"I don't know how Lilan feels." However, if Li Lan really felt anxious, I had to relieve this anxiety. And if Lilan needs to evolve and Lilan is worried, my role as the master is to evolve him and solve his worries. In my mind, I will sort out what I need to do from now on. Then I stood up and told everyone.
\ "Sorry, everyone, I want to see Lilan. After all, I need Lan. However, this is my problem, so please make a strategic meeting as planned. Give it to you, wait for you to come back, I will ask you to explain your future strategy. "
When I said faster, Diabel and Kam nodded. Starting from SAO, the attack team's command system was responsible for Diabel. When I was not there, Kam also served as captain. It seems that he is used to it. The expressions of others seem to agree with my next actions.
It's as if everyone is expressing the intention of "going to Lilan", but without doing so, only one person ran to me. Girl with white blue fur and wild cats on her head -she is Shi Nai.
\ "Wait for Kirito, I'll go too. \"
\ "Poetry? No, you still have everyone \"
\ "Even if I can't let go of that girl. Yui is our daughter, and the girl is the sister of Yui. She is our family. \"
Shi Nai used the strong eyes she often showed to appeal. Shi Nai has been rescued by Lilan many times, and has always lived in the same house in SAO, so Li Lan is also Shi Nai's family. Of course, he couldn't let him go, and there was no reason to refuse poetry.
\ "That's right. Poetry, come with me. \"
"Well"
After seeing Shi Nai nodded, I greeted everyone again. I fled the cafe with Shi Nai, and passed through the cities that were almost covered with many players and the animal trainer. The hotel where it is located. I am going forward.
"In the \" Underworld \/Rocky Field Nibelheim \ "of this sale, there will be a monster that is far beyond Flohild."
"Moreover, the clover that eager to conquer them may also come to us. It seems that we must also be prepared to fight monsters."
After Kirito and Shi Nai left, a strategic conference centered on Diabel and Kaim in the cafe. The strategy meeting was held in the absence of Kirito and Shi Nai.
This happened several times before, but since the two have been the top master of the Raiders since SAO, although they did not participate in the Raiders meeting, they were thrown behind them when they returned. There is nothing to take away.
