Magical Comprehensive Travel

March 2023

Three months have passed since the first successful BOSS victory was completed, and these three months can be said to be the rapid development of Aincrad, and many things have happened during this time.

And the most attention is naturally the progress of the strategy of this death game. At the beginning, Mu Hantian directly killed the gatekeeper BOSS on the second floor by himself, which instantly cheered everyone up, and filled the players who had planned to spend their whole life in SAO with hope of clearing the stage.

At the same time, with the breakthrough of the first floor, the deeds of being trapped in the first floor for more than ten consecutive days have never happened again. The players, groups, and guilds who fought at the forefront formed a huge strategy group, although the number of strategy groups did not account for the total number of players. But their strength level is the most powerful among all players. It can be said that the progress at this time is the proof of their strength, and it is also the glory of the Raiders group.

The players who form the strategy group are no different from the original plot. They are divided into four groups.

One is kinghtsofblood, or KOB for short, which is the Knights of the Blood Alliance, headed by Heathcliff. This guild is recognized as the strongest guild in the strategy group or the entire game. The number of members is not much compared to other guilds, but everyone has a strong strength. It can be said that their strength is not only In the whole game, even the players in the strategy group are mostly inferior to them. Moreover, Asuna was the deputy leader, and Asuna was already called Shining because of the high-speed attack of the rapier she used at this time, and she also had the title of Shining Asuna. From these places, you can see the powerful strength of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.

The second is Fenglin Volcano, whose president is Kirito's friend Klein. This guild can be regarded as a guild without any prominence, but it is trusted by many people. Even if it does not make any outstanding contributions, its strength can be regarded as a top player in SAO.

The third is the Holy Dragon Alliance, DivineDragonsAlliance, abbreviated as "DDA". This guild can be said to be notorious. Although the conditions for joining are very strict, most of the players in it will do anything for the sake of profit and strategy, which has led to the fact that most of the players in this guild have orange names. However, Murong doubted the number and strength of this guild, so they could still stay in the raiding group. However, their biggest goal can be said to surpass the Knights of the Blood Alliance and become the No. 1 guild in SAO.

The last group, solo players. This group is not a guild. Just like the name, it is a group made up of solo players, and this group is also the weakest existence in the strategy group. At this time, the group has not become only Kirito and Agil as in the later period. At this time, there are still seven or eight solo players, but as the number of layers of the game strategy increases, the difficulty is also slowly increasing. , it becomes more difficult to travel alone. It also resulted in only two solo players left in the later stage.

Some time ago, the original raiding group also had a group that can be said to have the largest number of people, the Aincrad Liberation Army, also known as the army. This is a guild with the largest number of people, and the strength is not weaker than any group in the strategy group. The head of the regiment was Diabel, who was killed in the original plot, but I don't know if it was a change in the world line. When the 25th floor was attacked, the sudden increase in the strength of the BOSS caused the army to suffer a heavy blow. Diabel made a command error under tension. , which directly made the army the biggest casualty in the Raiders BOSS in SAO. And this failure also led to the army finally leaving the Raiders group under the public opinion, returning to the first floor and ruling the local area.

However, it was also after the tragic defeat of the army on the 25th floor. At this time, the solo player Asuna got rid of her identity as a solo player and appeared in the "Strategy Team" as the deputy leader and image representative at the invitation of Heathcliff. in front of and lead the players who have been brokenhearted forward.

With the cooperation of the solo players in the strategy group and the guild, they quickly won the 31st floor in this game, and their strength was admired by ordinary players. However, there are 13 of the 31 layers of strategy that have nothing to do with them.

These thirteen floors were raided by one person. These layers were 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19, 23, 27, and 30. And there are 30 BOSS final blows that he won.

This person is Mu Hantian, relying only on one person, constantly fighting on the front line, without anyone's assistance, and can also single-handed boss. It can be said that no guild can compare to the contribution he has made. Everyone has forgotten his identity as a beta tester and regarded him as an idol.

Moreover, he is always elusive. On some floors, the strategy team just opened the boss room, and saw Mu Hantian who had just killed the boss and entered the portal to the upper floor. In the labyrinth area, the city area, and the monster area, although you can occasionally hear about him, it is very difficult to really find him. It is estimated that only Heathcliff can find him.

The image on his body is not the leather armor at the beginning, but a light blue robe with yellow tights inside, and there is always a white nine-tailed fox on his shoulders or neck, and then tied around his waist. A blue sword, his conspicuous image is easy to recognize when he is known. But it doesn't matter to him, because although he has broken through so many layers by himself, he is after all alone. He is not as fast as the strategy team to open up wasteland. Often, the strategy team leads him one step ahead and finds the boss room first, and then nothing else matters. , so he usually rarely appears on the street, usually he runs directly to the labyrinth area early in the morning, and sometimes spends his time in the labyrinth area at night.

At the same time, because of his strength and appearance, he was directly given the title "Blue Radiance" by the players. In this death game, a person can basically compare with the previous strategy group. How can such a person not be pursued by the players? . It brought the hope of customs clearance, and made them directly treat Mu Hantian as an idol.

On the seventeenth floor, next to a forest lake in the west, the sound of swords colliding was constantly heard, and at the same time, several white rays of light were constantly emitted from that position.

I saw that next to the lake, there was a five-person team surrounded by more than ten pig-headed monsters. The five-person team consisted of a two-handed stick, a warhammer, a sword, and two spears. composition, one of the spearmen is female. From the outside, it looks like a group of high school students.

"Tie Xiong! Switch!" The short red-haired boy with a two-handed stick in his hand lifted the hammer from the pig-headed man in front of him, and immediately took a step back.

"Understood! Keita! Drink!" Then he saw the navy-blue short-haired warhammer quickly stepped forward with a hammer and followed a shout, and quickly knocked the pig-headed man's head off from the side with the hammer. , the pig-headed man directly turned into pieces and dissipated in the air.

The death of this pig-headed man did not change the fact that they were surrounded. Immediately another pig-headed man stepped forward and directly hit the warhammer named Tie Xiong in the stomach with the hammer on his right hand, and then Tie Xiong stumbled directly. He took a few steps back, and at the same time half-knelt on the ground.

"Fortunate! Immediately help Tetsuo recover!" Keita, who was holding a double stick, seemed to be the team's captain, quickly commanding his teammates, "Sasamaru! And Dakal! Protect Yuki and Tetsuo!"

"Understood!" "Definitely!" "Tie Xiong, I'll help you restore blood right away." As the three voices fell, the female spear user with short black hair quickly came to Tie Xiong's side, and at the same time took out a medicine bottle. Qi Tai also immediately came to Tie Xiong's side, and the three formed a circle to protect the two in the middle.

At this time, Keita felt infinite regret in his heart. It would have been better if he hadn't taken them further into the jungle at that time. Qi Tai gritted his teeth in remorse, and looked at the pig-headed man in front of him, full of anger. This anger is at the monster in front of him, at the person who created this game of death, and at his own actions.

"Qi Tai, we don't blame you." Although Tie Xiong was half-squatting on the ground and recovering his HP, he saw the remorse and self-blame on Qi Tai's face, and immediately said, "We both agreed at the time. It's not your fault for your actions."

"Yeah! Keita! We will definitely be able to go back." Fortunately, although she was very frightened at this time, she trusted Keita very much. Even if such a thing happened now, she would not blame him. Although the other two did not look back at Qitai, they also guessed what Qitai was thinking at the moment, and immediately echoed their attitudes, which moved Qitai very much at this moment.

Keita is a person who will give priority to the members of the guild no matter what happens, so he is very trusted by everyone, and the five of them are classmates and friends of the computer research department of the same high school, so naturally they will not blame each other and shirk responsibility.

Kaitai swept over everyone in the team with a thankful look, and then clenched the sticks in his hands tightly, aiming at the pig-headed man who was about to swing the hammer in front of him, and used the stick head to directly check. Blocked the pig-headed man's attack, and Sasamaru and Dakar still blocked the pig-headed man's attack, and it seemed that there was a counterattack for a while.

But the so-called counterattack was just an illusion. It didn't take long for everyone's attack to be directly suppressed by the monster group. Although Tiexiong and Xing once again joined the battle, they couldn't stop the pig-headed man's offensive at all.

Immediately afterwards, the pig-headed man's hammer fell on them again and again, and the HP values ​​above their heads all changed from a green health state to a yellow warning state. The situation at this time shows that they have fallen into a crisis, and it is only a matter of time before the group is destroyed.

"Ding~" The sound of a weapon falling to the ground from Keita's side instantly attracted their attention.

I don't want to die yet.. Who.. Who can help me... At this moment, Xing Xing looked at the pig-headed man who was attacking them in front of him, fear directly flooded into his heart, and he completely lost his fighting consciousness. And Keita and the others' nervous faces turned pale. At this moment, two pig-headed men were about to attack Yuki, who was already sitting on the ground, with the hammers in their hands.

"Don't!" Kai Tai shouted loudly and rushed towards Xing's side, but at his speed he couldn't keep up.

Am I really going to die! don't want.. I am afraid to die.. I.. I don't want to die.. Fortunately, looking at the hammer that was rapidly approaching her and was constantly magnifying in front of her, she closed her eyes in fear, and at the same time covered her head with both hands, as if she felt a sense of security.

"You're not going to die." At this moment, a soft and magnetic male voice came from Xing's ears. This voice made Xing's closed eyes open again, and when he entered his eyes, there was a graceful voice flowing with the wind. A man with short blond hair, wearing yellow tights and a light blue cape-like robe floating in the air behind him, and this man has a white scarf around his neck?

I only saw the man's right hand slowly grasping the unknown sword around his waist, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "Ming Shenliu, Wing Zhi Feng!"
