i became a shadow

Chapter 10 Arrival
A sound of glass breaking suddenly came from the space.

Kirito gritted his teeth, looking at the wild monsters he had terminated, he could not help but show a tired look on his face.

A few hours have passed since Akihiko Kayaba announced the rules of the game. Even though there are still many players indulging in pain, they are not as huge as before.

And as a beta tester, I have to be ahead of others, otherwise, in this dangerous game, it is easy to be buried here.

"Because I want to live..."

Kirito clenched his fist and whispered.

The light in his eyes is even more resolute.

At the same time, Duo, who was not far away from him, put his hands on his chest and sighed softly.

Speak with words that only you can hear.

"Me too..."

In the simulation field, I don't know how many times I died, but I still kept my desire for life.

In that dark space, didn't I also hope to catch that ray of light and gain salvation?

"After all, there is hope of living, who wants to die?"

Duo seemed to be emotional.

Therefore, Kirito on the other side never thought that he was being followed all the time, let alone that there were so many wild monsters in the shortcut.

Seeing those wolves with bloody eyes and ferocious faces, he had a bitter expression on his face.

The number of wild monsters is far beyond imagination. During the beta test, it is absolutely impossible for these scenes to appear. If Kayaba Akihiko did not secretly modify it, he would not believe it.

"But I won't give up..."

Kirito let out a breath slowly, as if to get rid of all the tension and pressure.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he rushed towards the nearest wild monster at an extremely fast speed.

The blade of the sword shone with red light, and without hesitation, the long sword in his hand was like a blood-red filament, directly cutting across the wolf's fur, leaving scars.

The latter let out an angry roar, and its hp value dropped to the red area. However, just as Kirito was about to finish it off, several figures suddenly attacked from behind.

The rushing wind and waves sent a chill down his spine, and he didn't dare to be careless. He turned around and drew his sword, and quickly drew out to block it.

In an instant, the sharp claws collided with the hilt of the sword, and dazzling sparks splashed all around.

Kirito's face was serious, and with his feet on the ground, he suddenly kicked the wolf's sideways. The powerful force made it roll aside and drove the other two.

Duo could see all this scene, and he was a little surprised.

Although Kirito's series of actions just now was nothing to him, it was obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Especially responsiveness.

"But yes, if there is nothing special, how can you be the protagonist?"

puff!

The broken sound kept ringing, and Kirito hunted and killed more and more wild monsters, but this did not make him happy, on the contrary, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Because the wild monsters that appeared beside him not only did not decrease, but also continued to increase. One after another figure was like a raging water, firmly imprisoning him in it.

Kirito gasped heavily, his eyes were full of vigilance, and there was a trace of despair.

I originally wanted to rely on the experience during the beta test to benefit myself, but I didn't expect it to become like this. Maybe God can't understand selfishness, right?
Kirito thought of some self-deprecating.

"But as I said, I won't give up until the last moment."

As if to prove, and as if to cheer himself up, Kirito grasped his weapon tightly, adjusted his whole body to the extreme, and stabbed the wild monster flying with his sword with an unparalleled reaction of ordinary people.

The blood-red sword light flickered frequently, and the long sword in his hand kept waving, shocking people's hearts.

All the wild monsters that were blown by the sword energy were directly turned into mosaic-like fragments, floating in the air and disappearing.

Finally, when Kirito slashed at the body of one of the wild monsters, the novice's cheap weapon couldn't withstand the severe shattering and broke instantly.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a huge claw slamming straight on his chest, and the hp value on the top of his head dropped sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching the warning line in less than a few seconds.

"It's over..."

Kirito, who was knocked down to the ground, his mind was completely blank, watching the wolves approaching step by step, he gently closed his eyes.

Waiting for his next tragic fate, but the imagined darkness did not come, he instinctively opened his eyes.

What caught his eyes was not the hungry wolf with ferocious face and fierce eyes, but a girl he had never seen before.

"How long are you going to sleep?"

A soft and very relaxing voice hovered in my ears.

Duo just looked at Kirito with a smile, his tone full of ridicule.

When Kirito heard this, his face turned red.

This is not only because of the ridicule, but more importantly, the other party's cheek is too close to his own.

At such a distance, Kirito could see the appearance of the 'girl' clearly at once, and it can be said that he will never forget it in his life.

The lovely and charming face is extremely delicate, like a porcelain doll, and no one can pick out any flaws. The eyes are as magnificent as onyx, and the water vapor is hazy, as if they are covered with a layer of mist.

Her jet-black hair sticks to her cherry red lips, as if she is tempting someone to commit a crime.

At this moment, he remembered what it means to be beautiful and delicious.

"I... I thought I was going to die..."

Tongren seemed a little stuttering when he spoke, and turned his head away quickly, trying to avoid this embarrassment.

"By the way, those wolves?"

Suddenly, Kirito frowned and asked with some doubts.

"Oh, you said those wild monsters, I killed them all."

At this time, Duo had already turned around, and said to the open space.

The tone is indescribably relaxed.

"You...you mean, you solved everything by yourself?"

Tongren opened his mouth wide in surprise, his face was extremely shocking, you must know that there were nearly [-] heads just now, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye.

Really blink of an eye...

"Otherwise, why do you think you can stand here properly?"

"But……"

"Okay, okay, it's useless to talk about it, why don't you hurry to the next town, don't you want to spend the night in this wilderness?"

Duo waved his arms.

"Eh... I don't want to..."

"It's not too late, it's already dusk."

Even so, why does it always feel a little bit wrong?But I can't tell.

Kirito scratched his head.

Butterfly effect?
Duo couldn't help sighing, probably because of his own intervention, the original work has changed, otherwise why did he almost die here as the protagonist.

It seems that in the future, I have to pay more attention.

But for Duo this time, it wasn't entirely a bad thing.

At least for him, he doesn't have to continue hiding behind Kirito like a thief.

In this way, Duo and Kirito came to the nearest town unimpeded all the way.
