i became a shadow

Chapter 39

The world of Sao is extremely lively today, the streets and alleys and all the taverns are filled with cheerful colors, as if they are celebrating something.

When seeing the rows of Christmas trees decorated with crystals next to the house, it is not difficult to guess that tonight is Christmas Eve. The faces of the players are full of smiles at this moment. The joy from the festival temporarily dilutes the fear of death.

Looking at the dense stars in the sky at night, they all made a wish at the same time, but many people don't know that a war that is about to break out is about to start.

The 35th floor, Lost Forest...

According to intelligence, a BOSS named "Traitor Nicholas" will appear here. If it's just a simple field BOSS, it's fine, but this one can get a very special item, that is, the resurrection item!

All the top guilds have information channels, so they came early in the morning near the location where the boss is about to descend. After all, no one can bear this temptation.

Everyone is afraid of death, not to mention that in this world where death can happen at any time, the existence of resurrection items is undoubtedly extremely precious.

So tonight, basically all the top guilds came here.

The vast snow fell, and the whistling hurricane kept blowing the white snowflakes, and at the same time buried them on the ground without leaving any traces. Except for the trees, the whole world was only white.

"Klein!"

Wearing a black uniform and carrying a large black sword on his back, Kirito shouted happily when he saw a man with a fiery red headband not far away.

Hearing this, the man with the face of a downcast warrior moved his ears, turned around to look at him, and suddenly smiled.

This man in red armor is none other than Klein who parted with Kirito on the first floor!

And now, he has become the president of the top guild [Fenglin Huoshan]!

"So it's Kirito! Why does our famous [Shadow League] vice president also want this resurrection item?"

Klein thumped the other person's chest lightly, and winked at Kirito, his tone full of ridicule.

Kirito scratched his head in embarrassment, with a wry smile on his face, and said

"It's not that I want it, but Duo is very interested in this item."

In fact, Duo, like Kirito, was not very interested in resurrection items at the beginning. After all, his HP value in this game has never dropped to the yellow area, so he has the capital to expand.

But it's a pity that this is only in the game, because the system told him that this item can be taken out, and the price is only some Col coins.

Immediately, Duo was shocked, if he could take it out, it would be against the sky, so without any hesitation, he directly asked Kirito to go first, and he would arrive later.

Tongren's words spread to everyone's ears, even in the heavy snow and the noisy wind, they could still hear them very clearly.

At this moment, the faces of all the players present changed, especially the [Sacred Dragon United] and [Army] people who were not far away on one side, it was even more difficult to see. Doesn't it mean that the hope of myself and others is very slim?

"You mean the president of the [Shadow League] is coming too?!"

Klein was also very surprised. He paid great attention to this mysterious and powerful Duo in the legend. After all, he was definitely able to pass the level to the sixty-odd floors.

That's right, in the past six months, there has been a riot in SAO, a large part of which was contributed by the Shadow League.

Not only that, he also wiped out the murder guild and saved the lives of many players. It can be said that in this world, he exists completely like a hero.

"Yes, that Klein, can you take your hands off my shoulders, it makes me dizzy."

Kirito rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Oh, sorry, I was a little too excited..."

When Kirito said this, Klein smiled immediately, grabbed the palm on the opponent's shoulder, and put it down instantly.

"Really, you can't see his face, so what's so exciting..."

Kirito moved his arm slightly, and complained.

"That's true, after all, this lord is too mysterious... But it sounds like Kirito, you have seen it before, how about it, can you tell your good brother?"

Klein hugged the other person's shoulders again, and winked.

However, just when Kirito was about to say something, Asuna, who was not far from [Fenglin Volcano], came over.

"[Shadow League] Why did you come here alone? Why didn't you see the figure of Duo?"

The first time she saw Kirito, Asuna rushed here, looked around, and then asked in doubt.

"President, he'll be here in a while. I'm just exploring the way first. I didn't expect it to be so lively..."

Kirito smiled slightly, and looked in the direction of [Knights of the Blood League] involuntarily.

Kirito's movements naturally couldn't escape Asuna's eyes, she squinted her eyes with a faint smile on her mouth.

"This prop, if Duo's 'sister' really wants it, maybe I can help her..."

"younger sister?!"

Klein's eyes widened instantly, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, panting heavily, shaking his hands desperately towards Kirito's shoulders.

"Kirito, is your president a cute girl? Must be a cute girl?!"

"No... not..."

At this moment, Kirito only felt that the whole world was spinning in his mind, and he no longer knew the world.

"Oh, but didn't she say-"

Klein was disappointed, but still unwilling, and continued to ask.

"That's why she lied to you."

Struggling hard, Kirito finally got rid of the opponent's claws, and said in a tone full of helplessness.

"Hmph, who told him to lie to me!"

It turned out that since Duo introduced Kirito that Lisbeth's weapon forging skills were good, he often visited the other's shop, and the two gradually developed a love for each other over a long period of time.

And the news that Duo was male also spread like wildfire, which shocked the two girls for a while, and it took a long time to accept this fact.

"For the time being, no matter whether Duo needs your help or not, I think even if you agree, those under you will not agree, right?"

Kirito rubbed his temples and said.

Hearing this, Asuna remained silent for a while, because what Kirito said was not wrong, if she really did that, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among her subordinates.

"So, let's see who will get this resurrection item..."

Asuna said with seriousness on her face.

Tatata!
But at this moment, the sound of feet stepping on the snow echoed in the surrounding space, and everyone looked at him instantly.

I saw an extremely neat team slowly coming into view. They were wearing black uniforms that were the same as Kirito's, and there was an incomparable look in their eyes.

Everyone is equipped with excellent equipment, and there is a complex dagger-like pattern painted on the chest, which is the symbol of the [Shadow League] guild.

And behind them, a figure gradually appeared...
