Chapter 592 Kirito: It's broken, it's coming for me

In the spectator seats earlier.

Xing and Silica, together with Klein and others from the Moonlight Black Cat Group and Fuuin Volcano, were cheering for Kirito who was about to participate in the semi-finals.

When they saw that the semi-final opponent was not Alice, they were obviously relieved.

After all, as members of the strategy team and reserves, they often gathered with the Akusis Cult and knew very well how strong Alice was.

So when they learned that the opponent was the listless and sickly looking spear user, they immediately exclaimed in their hearts that it was stable, and they could easily enter the finals.

But they never expected it.

The situation turned out to be like this!

Both of them on the stage abandoned their defense and attacked frantically, which was very disadvantageous for the spear user, but that's what happened.

I thought Kirito could use the powerful attack power of the one-handed sword to reduce the opponent's health first and win, but who would have thought that the spear user actually kept a trick and switched weapons at the last moment!

The blood-red spear came with great force. I thought the speed just now was fast enough, but I didn't expect that this hidden killer move was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it pierced Kirito's heart.

"Kirito!"

"Mr. Kirito!"

"Brother Kirito!"

Several people stood up and looked at Kirito who was careless and didn't dodge in the arena, and their eyes were always on his declining health. From light green to dark yellow and then to red, my heart gradually lifted up.

At this time, Kirito suddenly realized.

The man in front of him used a spear with low attack power in order to accurately reduce his health, so that his health would not fall below half and he would be judged as a loser.

The purpose of doing this is for the final killing move.

Vent!

-- Concentrate all the attack power on eight consecutive hits, forcibly reduce his health to zero, and create a scene of legal killing!

He is very familiar with this method of killing!

That was a year ago, on the fifth floor, someone took advantage of the loopholes in the system's rules to challenge him to a half-loss duel, trying to kill him by force.

I didn't expect to see it here again today, and the person who was injured was himself!

Kirito gritted his teeth and looked at the man opposite.

Suddenly, he saw a pattern.

Because he was a head shorter than the spearman in front of him, he could see from the collar that there was a special emblem on the man's chest, and a twisted smiley face was engraved on the black wooden coffin!

That was... Smiling Coffin!

Smellu?

Smile?

Yes, isn't that what smile means!

A chill swept over him. I don't know if it was because the spear pierced his heart, Kirito felt a chill on his back, and his brain was like being trapped in an ice cellar and couldn't think.

It's the Smiling Coffin, it's the Killing Guild!

This man is a PK player!

Kirito can clearly see the man in front of him, the evil smile of success on the corner of his mouth, and can also clearly feel the bloodthirsty malice after he pierced his heart.

Then——

You Win

A blue light screen appeared above Kirito's head.

At this time, Kirito's health value, which was constantly falling, also stopped at a place where only one-tenth of it was left, and it was bright red.

"Tsk."

The spearman was shocked without any concealment, as if he was unhappy about not being able to kill Kirito successfully, looking at the top armor on Kirito's chest, it seemed to mock Kirito's good luck.

He pulled out the spear without any courtesy, without bringing out any blood, not even the fragments.

Because it was the judgment period after the duel, everyone's health was locked, so Kirito did not suffer secondary damage.

Smailu, who pulled out the spear, did not stop at all, put away the bloody spear and turned to leave the arena.

After seeing this, Asuna, Yuki, and Silica relaxed and quickly ran to check on Kirito.

"Kirito, are you okay?"

"Ah, ah..."

Kirito panted.

Almost, just almost!

"That person is a PK player of Laughing Coffin."

"What?!"

After hearing what Kirito said, Asuna stood up and wanted to find someone to stop Smail who was leaving in a hurry, but Kirito grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Don't go, forget it."

"Forget it?!"

Asuna's voice was a little excited, but Kirito still grabbed her sleeve tightly. Asuna quickly calmed down and kept silent.

The audience was confused and didn't understand what happened at all.

The same was true for Sato Kazuma.

"What happened? Why did the winner suddenly decide? Kirito obviously had lower HP, so why did he win? President Diabel, do you know why?"

"I think... it should be the system's decision."

"The system's decision?"

"That's right. Players may not know that the system's decision is very fast, and it can be successfully determined in about 0.1 seconds. As for Kirito, I guess he should have reduced Smail's HP to less than half before his HP dropped rapidly, so that Kirito could win the duel."

"Oh, that's how it is."

After Diabel's explanation, the audience suddenly realized it.

In general, Kirito's attack was faster, and he reduced Smailu's health to less than half first, and then the system judged Kirito to be the winner.

"But the strange thing is that Kirito's health has dropped so much, it couldn't be that..."

Diabel muttered to himself.

He discovered something unusual.

This is of course, after all, he is one of the presidents of the big guild, and he knows very well how to reasonably return the opponent's health to zero in the half-loss victory mode.

There's something wrong with that Smyrna player!

“He was the man with the smiling coffin.”

In the players' lounge, Kirito talked with Asuna and others: "I saw the coat of arms of the Smiling Coffin on his chest."

"Smiling coffin?"

Everyone's expressions were not very good when they heard this name.

In Aincrad, the Smiling Coffin represents turmoil and the source of all evil. No matter what kind of dirty water it is, you can pour it on the smiling coffin, and it will usually be correct. That's how notorious they are.

But it also represents their bad behavior and their ability to kill people without restraint. This alone makes the players tremble.

"Let's catch him now!"

"No, you can't do that!"

"Why?"

"Because the method of killing in the half-loss mode has not been spread. Once other players know this method of killing other players without any scruples, what will happen?"

"Varied----!"

Kirito's words left Asuna speechless.

"Yes, Kirito did the right thing."

Another voice came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads.

"Xiao Lin?"

"Mr. Xiaolin!"

"Xiao Lin, you're here!"

Xiaolin greeted them and said at the same time: "Kirito's idea just now is right. If everyone knows this method, someone will definitely use the system loopholes maliciously, force other players to duel, and then kill each other. However, the murderer will not become famous because of this, and we normal players cannot punish the other party and can only let the other party go unpunished. "

"How could..."

Asuna was a little shaken.

But she was not the innocent little girl she was at the beginning. After understanding the seriousness of the matter, she no longer struggled. On the contrary, Xing and Silica were quite critical of letting Smailu go. That’s why you two are not the main palace. Learn from Asuna.

Xiao Lin nodded their heads.

"But Kirito, you are really lucky."

"Yes. If I hadn't gotten this breastplate from clearing the 55th floor, I might have died."

Kirito was also slightly thankful.

That spear user can cause so much damage, and probably increase the sharpness of his weapon by at least +50, otherwise he will never be able to break through his +30 increase in defense attribute.

"Hey, wait."

Asuna asked curiously: "Normally speaking, the system's half-loss victory mode depends on who's health is reduced to less than half first. Since Kirito wins, doesn't it mean that he reduces his opponent's health first? Is the pressure lower than half? In this case, Kirito should win, so why is he still hit by the spear user's attack and losing health? "

"Because of the system's decision time."

Xiaolin said.

The system's judgment time is 0.1 seconds, and Smailu aimed at this gap, deliberately accumulating more power to increase his attack, and then struck out unscrupulously.

"Could it be that his purpose from the beginning was not to win, but to return Kirito-san's health to zero?"

"That's it."

"How could...!"

Despite Silica's incredulous expression, this was actually the real reason. Smiling Coffin didn't care about the outcome of the duel, their purpose was to kill people in public.

Xing frowned slightly and said, "Then are they deliberately targeting Kirito?"

"No, I guess it's a coincidence."

Xiaolin handed them a list, which included all of Smailu's opponents from the qualifiers to the knockout rounds to the quarterfinals and semifinals.

"You see, his opponents are all little-known characters, and they are all insignificant guys in the knockout rounds.

He may not really take action until the quarterfinals begin, when all eyes are focused here.

It's a pity that his opponent in the quarterfinals is Darkness. Even if Darkness doesn't defend, her health points will not return to zero no matter how much she adds to the tank.

The opponent of the top four is Kirito.

Generally speaking, bringing someone's health to zero in the finals causes the biggest commotion.

But his opponent in the top four is Kirito, and Kirito's strength can be imagined. Regardless of whether he showed his true strength or not, he might be sent away by Kirito, so he simply broke the pot and set his target on Kirito in the semi-finals. "

"Yes, yes...that's it?"

Everyone twitched their lips.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, I didn't expect that it was the powerful Kirito who was injured in the end.

Kirito almost lost his temper.

Who would have thought that he would be targeted because of his strength? How can this be justified?

"But I didn't expect that after more than a year, PoH is still the same little trick, and it doesn't bring me much surprise at all."

Xiao Lin suddenly shook his head, spread his hands and sighed.

The disappointed expression left Kirito, Asuna and others speechless. I always feel like the person in front of me really wants something unexpected to happen in this situation.

Asuna worried: "But if this happens, won't Smiling Coffin use this loophole to murder other players?"

"Hmm...most likely not." Kirito touched his chin.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it's too inefficient."

It was Xiaolin who answered her: "The half-loss victory mode requires the consent of both parties, and at the same time, the health value is forcibly reset to zero when it is about to reach half. PoH will not use such harsh conditions because the efficiency is too low."

"What...just because of low efficiency or something...but there will always be people who are forced to PK and die because of this."

"You may not believe it, but it's true."

Kobayashi shrugged.

The purpose of PoH is to kill people and create panic, but he doesn't bother to use it because he kills them one by one and the conditions are so harsh.

With this time, it would be much faster to encourage other players to fight each other.

Xiaolin could guess that the purpose of PoH asking Simailu to participate in the world's best martial arts tournament was to kill a well-known player and create panic, and it was best to do it in the finals where everyone was paying close attention.

Unexpectedly, Smailu first met Darkness in the quarter-finals, and then met Kirito in the semi-finals.

Knowing how powerful Kirito's skills are - perhaps the strongest in Aincrad - and the fact that Kirito has also attracted the attention of many viewers, PoH decisively changed his target to Kirito.

Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

"Besides, let alone the wild, if he is surrounded and killed, there is no way to escape, and the circle is a safe zone. As long as he doesn't agree to the duel, isn't there nothing he can do?"

"Uh...yeah, it can still be like this!"

Asuna and the others suddenly realized.

"Also, don't worry. After the World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament ends, our major guilds will issue notices to all players, asking them not to engage in PK for the time being, and not even agree to the first attack victory or defeat mode. In this way, it should It can prevent trouble behind the smiling coffin.”

"Really, that would make me feel relieved."

Asuna let out a breath.

Kobayashi then said to Kirito, who was still in shock: "What happened just now may have left you a bit confused, but I'm sorry, the final will not be postponed until tomorrow. You should know the reason, right?"

"In order not to cause more commotion? Wait, isn't that why you're here?"

"That's right. Kirito, you really know everything."

Xiao Lin said with a smile.

"I understand." Kirito breathed out: "I can't help it. Who told the competition system to be like this? As a contestant, I don't have the right to refuse, right?"

"Hahaha, that's it."

Long before the game started, the rule was to start the finals after the semi-finals and directly determine the winner.

This cannot be changed.

Even if it was Alice who met Smailu in the semi-finals and her health dropped to less than half, and even her mentality was affected, Xiaolin would not postpone the final to tomorrow because of this.

Kirito also understood this very well.

He just lamented that he was unlucky.

"I'm sorry, but Kirito, you have to work hard for the final... It seems you don't need me to comfort you, I'm leaving first."

Looking at Kirito surrounded by Asuna, Sachi and Silica, Kobayashi waved his hands and quickly left the lounge. It would be better for him not to get involved in such a Shura field.

...No, with Asuna as the main palace here, they shouldn't be able to quarrel, right?

Xiao Lin nodded secretly, deeply convinced.
