Sword Art Online World
The players in SAO felt their legs go weak at the sight of Laughing Coffin.
Everyone in the clearing group looked solemn. The appearance of Laughing Coffin could cause panic among ordinary players.
They were a guild that truly enjoyed killing people!
"We must defeat these criminals!"
The members of the Knights of the Blood Oath felt it was their duty to eradicate these people.
Not only them, but people from the outside world were also constantly searching for their information.
On the Plains
Kirito was lying on the grass enjoying the sun. Remembering that day, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Fortunately, the Laughing Coffin members left; otherwise, he really couldn't have handled them.
Even though he had the «Elucidator» back then, he hadn't used it yet.
Ding Ding~
"Kirito! Why are you sunbathing here again?"
"Here... this is today's lunch..."
Asuna appeared beside Grandpa Kirito, hands on her hips, looking at him affectionately, and sat down.
Kirito lifted his eyelids, sat up, stretched, took the lunchbox from the Vice-Commander, and started munching away...
"Oh~ Your cooking skills are truly worthy of praise. It tastes really good!"
The relationship between the two seemed to have grown closer....
[The Screen Continues]
[Kirito came to Lisbeth's weapon shop on the 48th floor, wanting to place a custom weapon order...]
[Lisbeth looked strangely at Kirito, dressed all in black, wondering if this guy was rich...]
["Don't worry about the budget; please make the most advanced weapon possible right now!"]
["Are there any specific requirements?..."]
["Then it should be equal to or even surpass this sword..."]
[Kirito placed the «Elucidator» from his back in front of her...]
[Lisbeth was shocked when she saw this magic sword. She never expected him to have such a powerful sword, so she brought out the strongest masterpiece she had ever made...]
[However...]
[To test the masterpiece's durability, Kirito slashed it with all his might against the «Elucidator», and the shop's best weapon broke instantly...] ...
"That guy was really rude back then!"
Lisbeth couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, thinking about how her sword made of rare metal had vanished just like that.
"If I get back to the real world, I'll definitely make him compensate me properly!"
Lisbeth clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if savoring some beautiful memories.
On the Grassland
"You idiot, it's very tiring for Lisbeth to make weapons!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Kirito kept nodding, a bit perfunctory, and for some reason, he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Asuna hadn't noticed anything unusual about him yet.....
[On Screen]
[Lisbeth watched her beloved sword disappear from her hand, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed directly to the ground, her body trembling continuously...]
["You... you..."]
[Lisbeth stood up angrily, grabbed Kirito's collar, and roared, "What have you done!!!"]
[Kirito was also a bit embarrassed. He hadn't expected the shop's best weapon to be so fragile...]
["Sorry... I didn't expect the striking side to break..."]
[As soon as he said this, Lisbeth was immediately provoked, claiming that with good materials, she could create a peerless sword that could shatter the «Elucidator»!]
["Oh ho ho~ Then I'll have to trouble you~ I'd love to see this sword get chopped to pieces~"]
[Lisbeth's face turned red with anger, and she was determined to impress this guy with the weapon she made!]
[So, the two went to the 55th floor to gather materials...] .....
Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
"That's right! Making good weapons requires the best materials!"
Seiya was quite obsessed with weapon materials!
"Hey, Lista... come here..."
Lista now spent every day with Seiya, afraid he'd run off to find the Demon Lord if she didn't keep an eye on him!
"What's wrong... Have you thought it over?... Actually, a goddess can be with a mortal too..."
"Have you been losing a lot of hair lately? If you have more, give me some..."
"???"....
[On Screen]
[They arrived at the snow-capped mountain peaks...]
[This was Lisbeth's first time on the 55th floor. She was deeply attracted by the crystals here and was very excited...]
[Kirito held her back, his tone heavy...]
["Get ready to use the Teleport Crystal..."]
[Lisbeth took out the crystal reluctantly. This guy really wasn't a gentleman at all...]
["And next time, I'll go up alone..."]
["Hey, I'm not an amateur; I want to fight too!"]
[Lisbeth didn't want to hide behind others; she had the strength to fight!]
["No!!!"]
[Kirito didn't want Lisbeth to die in an accident; he wouldn't let the previous tragedy happen again...]
[Lisbeth was also startled by his voice and nodded...]
[Kirito glanced gently at Lisbeth, reached out to pat her head, and walked toward the dragon-infested area...] .....
"Huh? Lisbeth looks like this... I don't think it should be..."
Asuna vaguely felt something was wrong.
Her hand moved forward unconsciously, and in a daze, a gleaming kitchen knife lay quietly on the grass...
Grandpa Kirito looked at her in confusion. Why had she taken out a kitchen knife? Did she want to cook?
As expected of her, she was even interested in cooking outdoors!
Looks like he was in for another treat today!...
[On Screen]
[The Ice Dragon rose from the crystals and soared into the air...]
["Roar!!!"]
[It roared at Kirito and began gathering an energy ball in its mouth!]
["It's Breath! Dodge!"]
[Kirito had no intention of dodging. He stood in place with his sword, using a defensive skill...]
[——Cyclone Shield——]
[The Ice Dragon's breath instantly enveloped Kirito but was easily blocked by him. The wind and snow blew against his black coat, causing it to crackle...]
[Kirito's fierce sword skills pushed the Ice Dragon back step by step, even cutting off one of its claws...]
[Lisbeth was impressed by his strength and confidently stepped out from the crystal's shadow...]
["Idiot! Don't come out!"]
[Lisbeth's appearance made the Ice Dragon instantly find a weak target...]
[It flapped its wings, and a gust of wind pressure swept up ice and snow, forming a storm that blew toward Lisbeth...]
[The strong wind blew Lisbeth dozens of meters away, and she fell into a huge hollow...]
["Lisbeth!"]
[Kirito rushed toward Lisbeth at top speed, caught her, and the two fell together...] ....
Ice Dragon: "I was really grateful for her back then; otherwise, I would've lost if we'd fought a few more rounds..."
The Renegade: "That shouldn't be. Why didn't he shout?... This is unscientific... It must be because the Ice Dragon is too strong!"
Ice Dragon: "A dead monster has no right to speak. Get lost, you scrub!"
The Renegade: "..."
Kobold Lord: "It's really embarrassing for us bosses to be defeated by one person!"
Gleam Eyes: "You noobs, just wait until he comes up. I'll make him understand what true terror is. This time, none of them will leave!"....
[On Screen]
[Lisbeth slowly opened her eyes and looked around blankly. She was lying on top of Kirito and had only lost two-thirds of her HP...]
["We're still alive?"]
["Mhm..."]
[Kirito sat up, took a high-grade recovery potion from his inventory, and tossed it to Lisbeth...]
[It had been a long time since his HP had dropped below the red line. Unexpectedly, he almost died from a fall this time...]
[Lisbeth tried to use the Teleport Crystal but couldn't, and panic surged in her heart...] ...
Average Player 1: "How are we going to get out? Do we have to climb up step by step?"
Average Player 2: "But the ice is smooth; there are no footholds. And the ice is so deep; it must be very hard!"
Orange Players: "The crystal can't be used; it must be a trap. They're dead. The Black Swordsman is going to die!"
Most players couldn't think of a good method. If they fell into this place, most would freeze to death.
Lisbeth didn't die instantly because Kirito cushioned her fall...
They were also curious about what Kirito would do...
[On Screen]
[Kirito thought seriously and came up with a way to escape...]
[That was to run up!]
[Lisbeth looked at him as if he were an idiot. Run on an ice wall?]
[Is this a solution devised by a carbon-based life form?]
Newton: "Come on! You definitely can't run up! Today, I'll write my name upside down if you can!"
Today, he had to stand his ground!
He could no longer be the pushover Newton everyone called him!
[Kirito took a running start, jumped up, and quickly ran along the ice wall...]
["For real..."]
[Lisbeth looked at Kirito in confusion. He could actually run on the ice wall. He was a monster!]
[However, after running a third of the distance, Kirito's foot slipped, and he fell...]
[In the end, this method failed...] .....
Goku: "Can't you just jump up in one go?..."
Vegeta: "You idiot! These are people from another world!"
"Hahaha, sorry, I forgot..."
Goku scratched his head. Even though he had become stronger, his brain was still the same...
Vegeta was unhappy now, looking at Kakarot's face, mainly because he was annoyed that he could never defeat him!.....
[On Screen]
[The sky gradually darkened, and the two lay on the snow...]
[Lisbeth was constantly disarmed by Kirito's words, and her heart gradually relaxed...]
["Hey... hold my hand..."]
[Kirito was stunned and turned to look at Lisbeth, who had a serious expression...]
["Mhm..."]
[Kirito reached out and lightly covered Lisbeth's hand...]
["So warm..."]
[In this place where she couldn't leave, there was someone who could stay with her and share her joys and sorrows...]
[In this world surrounded by cold, there was someone who could hold her hand and bring her warmth...]
[Even though she knew the boy would leave her, she would still cherish this brief time before her...]
[Lisbeth's heart was slowly opened by Kirito, and the emotion called love surged into her heart...]
[The next day...]
[Lisbeth opened her eyes and saw Kirito squatting in the snow, digging for something...]
[A piece of crystal-like metal appeared in his hand...]
[This was exactly the metal material Lisbeth was looking for. Kirito guessed it was the feces the Ice Dragon excreted after eating crystals...]
[At that moment, the Ice Dragon returned from foraging...]
["Roar!!!"]
[Kirito quickly picked up Lisbeth and used his sword's wind pressure to kick up snow dust, blocking the Ice Dragon's line of sight...]
[He seized the opportunity to run along the ice wall, zigzagging, and stabbed the Ice Dragon in the back with his sword!]
["Ouch!!!"]
[The Ice Dragon was in pain and flew high into the sky, and the two successfully escaped the trap...]
[As dawn broke, Lisbeth tightly held Kirito's hand in the air, and the emotions in her heart burst forth!]
["Kirito! I..."]
["What?"]
["I... I like you!"]
["The wind is too strong... I can't hear you clearly..."][1]
