i became a shadow

Chapter 17
"I must apologize!"

These words quickly spread among the crowd like a bewilderment; all the players instantly ignited the anger that had been accumulated for a month.

Looking at the angry crowd with unkind faces, Kirito's face suddenly turned pale, because he did exactly what Kibaou said.

"Such a selfish person who doesn't ask and doesn't care, how can we rest assured to give him the back? How can we become a worthy companion?"

Kibaou shouted loudly.

"That's why I propose that those beta testers should spit out the money and items they've saved, and kneel down to apologize, otherwise they won't be trusted at all!"

As Kibaou's voice fell to the ground, the players on the scene boiled, as if the water had exploded, and the sound of roaring and cursing resounded throughout.

"That's right, those beta testers must apologize to the dead, 2000 people..."

"Those selfish and damn beta testers..."

"There must be a statement..."

Looking at the scene that was completely out of control, Duo narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Okay, you're even crazier than me..."

His tone of voice was devoid of any emotion.

Maybe it was unintentional, or maybe it was intentional. When Kibaou looked around with his eyes, he suddenly seemed to find something and stayed in a certain place. Coincidentally, it was the direction of Duo and others. .

"It happened!"

Tongren was startled suddenly, and his mind was extremely anxious.

"That masked person over there, with your advanced equipment, you might be a beta tester!"

The arrogant and domineering tone came from Kibaou's mouth, and in an instant, all the players' attention was attracted.

And with it came undisguised malice.

After all, his outfit is indeed eye-catching.

Listen to the noise and crusade of the players.

Kirito next to him was worried, and Asuna who was beside him even turned his head.

Duo sighed, if his number one son-in-law was present in such a scene, he wouldn't have to teach this "brother" himself.

However, in Kibaou's eyes, Duo's distress was the panic of being exposed, so he sneered and said.

"Beta tester, do you think you can escape the catastrophe by wearing a mask? It's best to spit out the money and items you've saved, and kneel down and apologize to all of us!"

In an instant, Duo became the target of public criticism, but he didn't care at all.

"Your name is Duck King, right? No, Kiba-o, right?"

Yawning, it was a smile that was not a smile.

"Because the equipment is better than yours, is it a beta tester? Let's not say that I am not a beta tester, so what if I am?"

Kibao didn't expect that this masked guy would still be so stubborn in front of so many people, so he sneered.

"If it wasn't for those beta testers who monopolize the resources, how could so many people die..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Duo interrupted impatiently, with a deep look of contempt in his eyes.

Looking at the angry crowd around him with disdain, he opened his mouth and said.

"Don't make any excuses for yourself. All the unfortunate things come from the lack of strength of the parties involved. Instead of only knowing about jealousy, it's better to think about how to improve the actual strength."

As he spoke, Duo looked at Kibaou suddenly, his tone filled with endless chill.

"You should be thankful now that I'm not alone now, otherwise maybe one day, the name Kibao won't be found in SAO..."

Although it was not specified, everyone could understand the meaning. Suddenly, all the players looked at Duo differently, as if they were looking at a lunatic, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Duo..."

Kirito's complexion was complicated, he didn't know whether Duo was speaking in anger or for real, but as a companion and friend fighting side by side, he didn't want the other party to be stained with blood.

"What are you going to do, aren't you afraid?"

Although Kibaou looked terrified, he still sternly said.

If you listen carefully, its voice begins to tremble a little.

"Afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of?"

Duo said coldly.

He who has even tried to die, would he care about these bullying guys?I'm afraid I'm not joking.

"madman!"

Kiba-oh kept cursing in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any movement on the surface. Just as Duo thought, he was just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Can I say something about that?"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely anxious, a mature and steady voice sounded.

It was a tall, dark-skinned, bald man.

I saw him slowly walking down from the top, looking at Duo with a little doubt in his eyes, but soon returned to Kibaou.

Seeing the opponent approaching gradually, Kibaou staggered back a few times, and said a little awkwardly.

"You...what are you going to do?"

"My name is Agil, Mr. Kibaou, what you mean is that there is no care for the original beta testers, so many newcomers died, so you must ask for compensation, right?"

The bald and strong man named Agil fell down on Kibaou just like that, with a very serious tone.

"Yes... yes."

Kibaou was caught off guard by the sudden question, looked at the players around him, and answered stiffly.

"Then you should also have this guide, right? And the ones distributed are the original beta testers."

Agil took out a book from his pocket and said to him.

Kibao was silent, because he did have it, and there were several sequels.

After taking a deep look, Elki ignored it, so he turned around and came to Duo, and said in a confirming tone.

"If my guess is correct, you should be the president of [Shadow League], Your Excellency Duo?"

For a moment, the players were stunned, the president of the Shadow League?
Looking at that petite figure, Ren they could never imagine that this is the legendary leader of the first guild.

Assuming it's true, the player named Kibaou may be the end of his game.

The president of the dignified [Shadow League] is actually asked to kneel in public. This will not only cause hostility from the members of the Shadow League, but also the indifference of the players who have benefited from it.

Agil's voice pierced Kibaou's heart like a sharp sword, making him shiver.

"Impossible! How could he be the president of the Shadow League."

Kibao looked anxiously at Duo's mask, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom, as if the president of the Shadow League was wearing a mask, right?
"you know me?"

Duo didn't even look at Kiba-o, but said to Agil curiously.

"Thank you for your help that time, otherwise my teammates and I would have completely said goodbye to the world."

Agil's face was full of gratitude, and his tone was extremely serious.

"Have you considered joining [Shadow League]?"

Duo looked at the strong man in front of him, and found that he liked it very much, so he said sincerely.

Uh, although I still can't see it...

"I will seriously consider it."

Duo didn't say anything after hearing this.

Afterwards, Diabel warmly invited Duo to discuss the matter of guarding the boss. As for Kibawang, he only left a face of remorse.
