Chapter 41: Exposing Kayaba Akihiko!
Chapter 41: Exposing Kayaba Akihiko! (Please read on!)
SAO game world.
The more difficult 67th floor was also successfully conquered by the strategy team, and there were 11 consecutive floors that were conquered without any casualties.
Compared to this point in the original work, players are still struggling around the 56th floor.
On that timeline, there are three classes: first-class, middle-class, and lower-class.
The former and the latter two seem to be on a united front.
But in reality, everyone just plays their own game.
Only a very small number of people like Grinserlu supported the frontline attacking team in their own way.
This timeline is completely different.
"Liz, what weapon did you create this time?"
At the guild headquarters, when Li Xia met the girl jogging towards him happily, he smiled back and spoke.
"Captain Li Xia, look, I used the crystal quartz ingot produced by the crystal dragon to make a Light Chaser for you. Its basic attack is over 700, with strength +54 and agility +18. It's not worse than your Elucidator."
The girl smiled sweetly.
"Another improvement, not bad, you've put in a lot of effort."
Li Xia was generous with her encouragement.
"Crystal Quartz Ingot" is produced from the wild boss Crystal Dragon's Lair in the mountains west of the 55th floor.
In fact, this crystal dragon swallowed the crystal ore on the Crystal Mountain, purified it in its stomach, and finally pulled out fresh mineral crystals.
This material is produced once a week.
The elite members of the guild's strategy team followed his "sustainable utilization" policy and did not kill the crystal dragon, but kept it in captivity, just to let the crystal dragon continue to eat crystals for purification and then make refining materials.
Over two months, 10 high-quality crystal quartz ingots were produced in succession, bringing many swords comparable to the Dark Repulser's to the elites of the Liberator's Guild.
In the original timeline, Liz, a senior blacksmith, used this material and her own heart to create the white sword Dark Repulser for Kirito with "basic damage 680, strength +52, agility +12".
In this timeline, the girl who also chose the secondary job of blacksmith and received a lot of resources from the guild for training was undoubtedly more outstanding.
With an excellent blacksmith and high-quality forging materials, it is hard not to produce excellent weapons.
And similar changes are not limited to the blacksmith profession.
Pharmacists and even cooks are also included.
It can be said that strong logistical support is one of the main reasons why the cohesion of the Liberator Guild has always been far ahead of the Blood Alliance Knights established by that old bastard Kayaba Akihiko himself.
And because Li Xia made the guild mode appear more than three months earlier than the original, the strategy group also appeared earlier. In addition, the middle and lower-level players can also get the members of the strategy group of the Liberator Guild to level up every now and then, so as to level up efficiently. While benefiting from this, the middle and lower-level players are naturally willing to use some of their gold coins as rewards to help the strong on the front line strengthen their equipment. Both sides interact a lot and each gets what they need.
Due to these details, there is not much gap between the three major player classes in this timeline.
In general.
We are no longer a scattered group.
It's more like everyone has their own job.
Because of these, the overall combat power of the players is much stronger than that of the same period in the original work.
The difference between "getting off to a good start" and "getting off to a bad start" can be seen clearly.
"Liz, keep going, we can't live without excellent blacksmiths like you."
Li Xia encouraged.
"Well, I'll try my best."
The girl clenched her fists.
...
On this day, Li Xia followed the usual practice of using wooden swords to fight monsters with Xia Zhijin and Asuna, accumulating [True Critical Hits]; suddenly, a [Dual Sword Flow] column appeared in the skill list of the game character.
When he saw this skill, he was stunned for a long time:
"what happened?
I got the dual sword skill?"
Two-Sword Style is one of the ten unique and unrepeatable special skills that Kayaba Akihiko has set for all Sword Art Online players.
When the proficiency of the meditation skill exceeds 500, you will have a chance to obtain it as long as certain conditions are met.
And because these ten skills are not replicable, they are all on a first-come, first-served basis.
In the original work, the protagonist Kirito gained the ability to use two swords because he met the special prerequisite of "having the fastest reaction among all players".
"So, I'm actually the one who reacts the fastest among this group of people?"
"But this thing is actually of no use to me. What I want is another special skill."
Li Xia put away the wooden sword and fell into deep thought.
The dual-wielding style is fine for fighting wild monsters. With two swords in hand, one can single-handedly fight most bosses below the 75th floor. But against Kayaba Akihiko, you can only use the surprise attack, otherwise, if the opponent is prepared, it will be easy to be defeated.
After all, it was that guy who came up with the dual-sword technique.
Using the skills developed by others to deal with them, haha.
In addition to the dual-wielding style, there is also the [Holy Sword] tailor-made for him by GM Kayaba, and there are also other moves such as [Sword Drawing Technique], [Dark Sword], [Infinite Gun], etc. that I don't know how to trigger and obtain.
The one that Li Xia took a fancy to was the only exclusive skill besides the dual-sword skill whose triggering conditions were known and which was most likely to pose a threat to Kayaba Akihiko's game character: [Critical Path].
As long as he mastered this move, every attack he made from then on would be a critical hit.
There is no reason to argue.
The specific condition for obtaining this move is to accumulate 1 true critical hits.
The so-called true critical hit is the kind of critical hit that does not rely on equipment characteristics.
For a player who levels up normally by killing monsters, it would be good enough if he could hit three or four real critical hits a day.
Because Li Xia always kills monsters with his vital points, and often practices using a wooden sword that is more likely to produce a critical hit to kill small monsters, he hits real critical hits quite often, almost a dozen times a day.
One year and four months in the SAO game world.
He has accumulated at least eight thousand real critical hits.
But I didn't expect that I got [Dual Sword Style] before I got [Critical Attack].
"Wait, it doesn't seem to say that I can't have two of the Ten Special Skills at the same time, right? If the Dual Blade Style can be used together with the Critical Path, then even if I don't have Kirito's protagonist halo, wouldn't my chances of defeating Kayaba Akihiko in the game world be greatly increased?"
"Also, the dual-blade style can definitely improve my efficiency in getting true critical hits!"
One sword can help him accumulate more than a dozen true critical hits every day. With two swords together, the efficiency may not be doubled, but it can speed up a lot, right?
"What's wrong with you, Captain?"
On the side, Asuna handed over a drink.
As a food expert, carrying food and drinking water in a backpack is basic operation.
"Thank you."
Li Xia took it, smiled and started to taste it.
The relationship between the two is actually just a thin layer of window paper away. Although their relationship is not as grand as that between the male and female protagonists in the original novel, they are also peers who fall in love with each other after being together day and night for a long time, under the premise of the hero saving the beauty + easing the relationship between best friends.
However, every time Asuna mustered up the courage to take that step, to express her true feelings and further confirm the relationship, Li Xia would change the subject.
After all, he is a trial-taker. There will be a day when the trial ends and he will leave here.
The key is that he will lose his memory of this place.
Even if he thought about rescuing the girl before he went out, as soon as he left, this idea would be erased and would never come back again.
In this situation, if she still goes to confirm her relationship with Asuna, and if this world has a sequel and a spontaneous story line, it will undoubtedly be a great harm to the girl.
Indeed, he had never been in love in his two lives, but he felt that it was wrong to do so. What was wrong with that?
He couldn't say it again.
...
As for what Wang Teng, Yang Jie and Xu Che are doing?
On the one hand, they continued to work together to kill monsters and practice sword-drawing to see if they could obtain the [Sword-drawing Technique], one of the ten major skills. On the other hand, they led the team to sweep the map and kill the bosses in the wild map to continue to maintain their advantages in experience and equipment.
...
2024 October.
The room guarding the boss on the 69th floor.
Li Xia rushed in alone.
"Roar…"
This boss is the only big guy in the original work who frightened the male protagonist Kirito so much that he almost fell down.
A roar can cause all players below level 80 to fall into chaos.
However, facing its breath, Li Xia simply pulled out the Light Chaser that Liz had forged for him and swung it lightly. The boss's intimidating aura suddenly turned into a breeze that could only blow his clothes.
war!
Dual swords VS 69th floor boss.
It can also be considered a training battle.
Early May 24.
He finally accumulated enough true critical hits and obtained the extremely powerful passive skill [Critical Path].
The boss guarding the 74th floor: Shining Eyes.
This boss has a huge body, and is covered with muscles that bulge like thick ropes. Its skin is dark blue, and it has goat-like curved horns on its head. The curved horns stand tall from both sides of its head to the back. Its eyes are like burning blue-white flames, which is why it is called the Shining Demon Eye.
Its weapon is a great sword.
In the original timeline, this big guy was slightly consumed by a team of more than a dozen people, and then Kirito relied on the high-burst skill of [Dual Blade Style] to narrowly take him down with only the last bit of health left.
this time.
Li Xia not only masters the [Dual Sword Style], but also has the [Critical Hit] to give every attack a critical hit effect.
Therefore, before his own health bar dropped from green to yellow, he killed the opponent by himself.
"1+1 is much greater than 2."
After defeating the Shining Demon Eye, Li Xia's level reached level 90.
The benefits of exclusive boss experience are maximized.
However, from now on, it seems that I will have to accumulate experience points for more than half a month before I can level up.
"The boss on the 75th floor is very different from the boss on the 74th floor. It seems safer to rush in with a group of people."
While the players from the major guilds were exploring the 75th floor and preparing for it, he also had a chance to relax for a while.
I took Xia Zhijin and Asuna to visit the 1st to 61st floors.
Go for an outing every day and explore the wonders of every floor of the floating city "Aincrad".
The second floor, the unique crater, let's watch the sunrise together...
The third floor is a dreamy and primitive misty forest. Let’s enjoy the sea of forests together…
On the fourth level, you can take a boat trip through the complex and winding canyons and waterways...
The fifth floor is a huge ancient ruin. Let’s taste the famous food here first, and then explore the history of the ancient city together...
The seventh floor, an arena full of calculations, let’s watch the competition together…
On the 22nd floor, there is a huge lake where we can go fishing, have a barbecue, and take photos together in the center of the sparkling lake...
On the 24th floor, in the artificial island and artificial city in the vast waters, we happily experienced the comfort of Venice on the water...
On the 47th floor, at Floria’s Flower Sea Square, we enjoyed the flowers together, held hands together, and spent a warm and beautiful afternoon together…
All the way to the 61st floor, almost all of which was occupied by the lake, and this was also the floor where Asuna bought a residence and settled down. Everyone finally had dinner together here and fell asleep in each other's arms...
The journey lasted for more than half a month, but it felt like a lifetime.
...
Unfortunately, good times always pass quickly.
The time came to October 2024, 6.
On this day, Nobuyuki Sugo was kidnapped by a shadow clone in the dark.
Another shadow clone temporarily replaced this guy using transformation techniques and obtained the "second-in-command" management rights of Fairy Dance, a game built using all the original codes of SAO as a template.
the next day.
In the SAO game world.
The people who had just completed the 75th floor strategy looked in astonishment at Li Xia who suddenly drew his sword towards the Blood Alliance Knight "Heathcliff".
An extremely tricky sneak attack with the sword aimed at the back of the head created a "purple exclamation mark" on the man who claimed to have "absolute defense".
"Captain Li Xia, what are you doing?"
"Are you crazy? You backstab your companion right after defeating the boss?"
"Captain Heathcliff, are you okay?"
At this moment, some of the first strategy team formed by the elites of several major guilds glared at Li Xia.
Some of them showed concern for the trumpet of Lao Bie Deng Kayaba Akihiko.
Only Li Xia looked at the other party with cold eyes:
"Mr. Kayaba, is this game fun?
He personally led everyone through all the obstacles, and finally transformed from a righteous leader into a giant of the evil path, becoming the final boss.
Give everyone a little hope, and then kill all the light of hope.
You are such a bad-humored fellow."
Mr. Kayaba?
Killing hope?
Bad taste?
what does it mean?
Everyone in the exhausted field looked at the two people confronting each other in the center with surprise.
However, when someone noticed the purple exclamation mark on Kayaba's trumpet, which was the purple mark of "indestructible", their eyes almost popped out.
"What is that mark?"
"It is a special existence that is protected by the system and cannot be destroyed! It has the attribute of immortality to the system!"
"Immortality? What is that?"
"It's in the yellow area where HP won't drop to half no matter what happens! This character is protected by the system!"
Li Xia gave a positive explanation.
"How could a player have such a thing?"
"That's right, we players can't have it, and we shouldn't have it! It only appears on him, only on him! Damn Heathcliff, there's something wrong with him!"
"What the hell is going on? Captain..."
