Realms: Only I Traverse Through the Anime Multiverse

December 24, morning.

Aincrad, fifth floor.

The fifth floor is a huge ruin, a maze-like ruin, with various underground cemeteries and ruins mazes below. The excavated roads have turned the fifth floor into a complete maze.

The underground lighting on the fifth floor is particularly dim. If you are alone on the complicated road, you can easily be PKed and die.

Fortunately, without PoH's instigation, there are not so many criminals.

Karluin.

Karluin is the main street of the fifth floor, located in the huge ruins in the south of the floor. The street is shabby and looks like it will collapse at any time.

Not far from here, there are temple ruins and squares, where you can pick up relics such as gems and accessories.

At this time, there was a rustling sound at the entrance of the underground ruins.

The sound of walking, the sound of light armor and swords touching the body came in a mess. The NPCs and players on the street looked sideways and saw the front-line strategy team.

Standing at the front was a beautiful girl, who seemed to be more tired than the others and more anxious to come back.

Asuna's eyes were filled with a hint of hope, and her gaze drifted towards the house in the distance.

Behind her were Diabel, King Kiba, and Heathcliff.

After conquering the third floor, the SAO world opened the guild system, and the three of them established their own guilds.

Although they had all invited Asuna, Asuna never agreed.

Behind the group were powerful individual players such as Kirito.

But at this moment, everyone frowned and was a little worried.

After conquering the first floor BOSS, the Dog-headed Lord Irfangu, a month ago, everyone was full of confidence and conquered the second, third, and fourth floors smoothly in one go.

But it has been more than half a month since reaching the fifth floor, and the location of the BOSS room has been confirmed, but the strategy team has not been able to conquer the BOSS, the Void Colossus.

It's really because this BOSS has too many attack changes and health bars.

There are 9 health bars. Every time the health bar is cut, the attack mode will completely change.

Moreover, the boss room on the fifth floor is the body of the boss. The boss will also use various buffs to strengthen itself and weaken the player's buffs, and even have disgusting moves such as balance disruption, which is really difficult to attack.

It can be said that the difficulty is a world apart from the first four floors.

"Today is Christmas Eve. I will rest. Do you want to continue to attack?"

Yasna turned around calmly, and her bright chestnut hair drew a beautiful arc in the air.

"Christmas Eve... It's already this time?" Diabel was suddenly stunned and dazed.

He shook his head and said, "The boss is difficult to attack for a while, so let's take a rest for two days. After that, we will also upgrade the level before the New Year, and spy on the boss's intelligence twice, and strive to attack the boss before the New Year, giving all players a New Year's gift! What do you say?"

He looked at King Ya and Heathcliff.

King Ya snorted, hugged his chest and did not object.

Heathcliff nodded slightly and said regretfully: "What a pity, if Duel was still here, the boss of the fifth floor might have been conquered."

Hearing Du Ming's nickname, Yasna pricked up her ears and stopped walking.

"Duel." Diabel thought thoughtfully: "The attack module and health bar of the Void Colossus are completely different from those in the closed beta. Except for being a colossus, there are few similarities. Duel's ability to analyze the boss is really rare. If he were here, the attack module of the Void Colossus could be analyzed quickly, and our strategy progress would be much faster."

"Forget it, Senior Diabel!"

Yadao snorted and said sarcastically: "Duel is a closed beta player. Relying on the information during the closed beta..."

Cho--!

"Shut up!"

Yasu raised her eyebrows, pulled out a sword from the scabbard, and pointed the tip of the sword at Yadao.

"If you want to say something bad about Du Ming again, duel with me first!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on this rapier.

Pulling out from the slightly transparent red and white scabbard was the light golden rapier "Golden Broken Sword" with a pure white hilt.

This was the weapon obtained by Asuna, who almost single-handedly conquered the second-level BOSS Bull King Astrios. Currently, the Golden Broken Sword has been strengthened by +4 and is still Asuna's main weapon.

"I... I just... just said it casually..."

Yadao sweated and explained in panic.

He really wanted to slap himself.

Everyone in the strategy team knew that if you said bad things about Asuna behind her back, Asuna would just snort when she heard it.

But if you said bad things about Du Ming in front of Asuna, it would definitely be a serious incident, and you might get stabbed with a sword.

Asuna's sword skills seemed to have sword energy, and even if you hid far away, you could be seriously injured by a sword.

"Hmph, just like that."

Asuna retracted the rapier, put it into the scabbard, and left the strategy team without looking back.

Leaving behind the relieved Yadao and others.

Walking along the main street of Karluin, Jasna's steps became lighter and faster.

After turning a few corners, Jasna gently pushed open a door, paused, and walked in.

This was the house he and Du Ming rented together.

"Du Ming, I'm back."

The voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people in the room, so she lowered her voice and put the sword and fine armor back into the system backpack.

Pushing open a crack in Du Ming's room, Du Ming was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, obviously practicing again.

Yasna closed the door again.

"Well, there is still time. Let's take a bath first, and then make a meal for Du Ming."

Thinking, Yasna walked while using the system's function to remove her clothes and put them away, and walked towards a door with a "Bathroom" sign on the west wall.

Opening the bathroom door, Yasna walked in barefoot.

Glancing at the door again, Yasna pressed the "Underwear Completely Removed" button, and a hint of coolness immediately touched Yasna's skin.

This room is quite spacious, and the northern half is the dressing area. The floor is covered with thick carpets, one wall has a mirror, and the other wall is a log shelf.

The southern half of the floor was paved with slate tiles, and most of the area was occupied by a milky white bathtub that looked like a pirate ship.

On the wall near the bathtub, there was a water outlet shaped like a plush bear's face, and transparent liquid with white smoke kept falling from the outlet.

"...Ah... wuwuwu, hot water is better..."

She couldn't help but laugh and said this in a low voice, quickly crossing the room and stepping over the bathtub that was similar to ceramic material. When her left foot stepped into the bathtub, the hot water at the most comfortable temperature that Asuna had set quickly filled the bathtub.

Resisting the urge to immerse her skin in hot water, Asuna came to the water outlet and let the hot water spread all over her skin, making her body temperature closer to the water temperature.

Finally...

"Splash——"

Her extremely smooth back skin was completely immersed in the hot water.

"...Wuwuah... I don't want to get up at all..."

Asuna couldn't help moaning again.
