Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Walking on the small path outside the city, the snow under their feet made a crunching sound.

But Kirito frowned, "Strange... This road always feels a little quiet."

“That’s how it is…”

Asuna also started to think.

If we talk about the scenes with the most player traffic in SAO, this road in front of you is one of them.

The Initial City is the first map that novices come into contact with, and it is also the first choice for experts to guide novices.

In the past, this road was not always crowded, but it was always busy.

Now, no other players can be seen.

"Maybe they celebrate Christmas in real life?" Asuna guessed.

After thinking for a moment, Kirito said: "It does make sense..."

No longer paying attention to these details, the two continued to move forward, and in front of them appeared:

【Snowstorm Falcon】

It was a bird-like monster with a blue body, its wings were not feathered but ice wings instead, and its claws were as sharp as three blades.

Asuna drew the rapier from her waist and said, "This is a monster I've never seen on the first floor. This must be an active monster."

“It seems to be correct.”

Kirito was the first to use the 'Demon Sword Corrosion', and the sword quickly cut through the air and slashed straight towards the falcon's throat.

The long sword cut a red wound.

Feeling the pain, the falcon let out a sharp cry, then leaped into the air and flapped its wings, its two eagle eyes fixed firmly on the two people below.

Kirito took a defensive stance upon seeing this:

"It took my blow completely and is still alive. It seems to be fundamentally different from the other monsters on the first floor."

"Besides, it's already flying. What should we do next?"

Asuna stood beside Kirito and asked with a focused expression.

The enemies are flying monsters, and they only have melee weapons.

The answer came to mind when I thought of this - wait until the monster comes down to attack the two of them and then launch a counterattack.

This way, every time the falcon comes down, it will suffer some damage.

But Kirito thought about it and realized that although this method was safe, it was time-consuming.

But he had a better idea.

So Kirito said, "Wait for it to come down, and then work together to take it down!"

Asuna was stunned at first, then she laughed: "This is really Kirito's style of doing things. Although I don't know if it will work, it's worth a try."

Now that the battle plan has been decided, all that's left to do is wait for the other side to attack.

As expected, the enraged Falcon wanted to take revenge on the two.

Its wings stirred up a gust of wind and snow, and then it swooped down towards Kirito, with its claws pointing directly at his heart.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Kirito shouted: "Now!"

He nimbly dodged the attack and moved to Asuna's side, exposing the falcon's most vulnerable abdomen to the two of them.

“Drink—”

The sonic impact and quadruple pain were launched at the same time and hit there one after another.

The powerful impact knocked the falcon flying in the air.

Kirito looked at the monster's health bar.

I saw that the health bar had entered the red danger zone, but he was not dead yet.

"How amazing! He's still alive."

“But it’s over now!”

The two rushed towards the falling monster together.

Two flashes of black and white cut through the air, delivering a final blow before the monster hit the ground.

Finally, the moment the Blizzard Falcon came into close contact with the earth, it turned into pieces and disappeared.

"it's over."

Kirito put the sword back behind his back and began to check his backpack.

Then he said helplessly: "The monster just now didn't drop any items."

"Me too, unfortunately."

It looks like today's joint hunt will continue.

At this moment, there was some movement behind them.

The two men quickly turned around and put their hands on their weapons to guard against monsters that might appear at any time.

All I saw in front of me was a thick pile of snow, about two people tall.

The two stared for a while but nothing unusual happened.

Kirito was the first to speak: "The sound might be coming from behind the snow pile. Do you want to go check it out together?"

"Well, it might be a special monster." Asuna nodded.

The two began to go around the back of the snowdrift.

At the end, what appeared in front of them was a scene of several people in black robes surrounding two players.

The moment he saw everyone's figures clearly, Kirito quickly pulled Asuna back and hid behind a pile of snow.

"What's wrong?"

Asuna was very confused when Kirito suddenly pulled her back.

Kirito simply pointed at the group of people in the distance and made a "hush" gesture.

Kirito did this because he knew the group of black-robed people.

Quite familiar even!

"Does Kirito know that group of people?" Asuna asked in a low voice.

Kirito nodded: "...How should I put it... Anyway, they are a very extreme group of people. It is better for us not to show up in front of them."

extreme?

No matter how hard you try, this word has nothing to do with the game world SAO.

So Asuna watched everything that happened in front of her with great interest, after all, it was something she didn't see often.

But she soon regretted it.

Only Kirito silently prayed for the two people in the middle, hoping that they were okay...

The people surrounded by the men in black robes were Fu Yuta and Takanashi Rikka.

Yuta righteously shouted to the people around him: "There are no special monsters here. What on earth do you want to do by luring us here?"

"I didn't intend to do anything, I just wanted to ask some questions."

A man in a black robe said this while pulling out a sickle as big as his height from behind his back.

Others took out a lit torch or a barrel of gasoline.

Originally, these people were dressed in black and already looked oppressive, but now they were pulling out weapons one after another.

No, it can't be called a weapon.

Those can only be considered murder weapons!

I don't even dare to think about what I want to do.

The only thing we know now is that he is not here with good intentions!

While protecting Rikka behind him, Yuta compromised with everyone, trying to delay time in this way.

"I know, I know, just ask!"

The man in black robe cleared his throat: "We are not asking you, but the one behind you."

Yuta was stunned and looked behind him: "Rikka?"

And Liuhua also pointed at herself: "Me?"

"Yes, now tell me about your relationship."

"My...our relationship?"

This question is too absurd for the current scenario.

It’s like the two people who just used cross counter in the boxing ring are giving each other women’s clothes in private.

It is inevitable that people will feel a little shy.

Yuta's face turned slightly red, and he thought to himself: "Do we have to tell a bunch of strangers about our relationship now?"

He hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.

Rikka had the same reaction, hesitating and unable to come up with an answer.

When everyone saw the subtle expressions of the two people in front of them, they all became excited instantly.

"Sure enough, sure enough...they are a couple!"

"That's right..."

What's right?

Are you going to let us go?

Yuta began to relax.

What? Although these people are dressed in ferocious ways, they are actually a group of good people.

The next words made him feel like he was in an icy cave.

"…That's right, burn it!"

Burn...burned?

Is that why you prepared torches and gasoline barrels?

Then two men in black robes lifted up Yuta, and the others poured gasoline on him.

Really? No!

The sudden situation made Yuta anxious: "Rikka, please tell us the true relationship between us!"

During this time, he kept winking at the other person, hoping that the other person could save him with lies.

"Hmm - I see, Yuta, I understand!"

Then Liuhua said to everyone: "We are not a couple..."
