Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

The Heroic Spirit Emiya made his decision and immediately took action.

His idea was simple and direct - follow the group of 'players' and get intelligence from their discussions.

Thinking about his body turning into particles, he entered into a spiritual body and followed.

The players at this time were unaware of this.

No, it should be said that even if they saw Emiya, they would treat him as a player, and would not regard him as a person to be wary of.

There are four players in this team, led by a muscular man.

He had almost no cloth on his upper body, only iron armor on his shoulders, and a heavy hammer on his back.

This outfit is just right for such a macho man.

This person's ID is 'Nightingale', and he is also the president of the 'Blood Cross' guild.

At this time, Nightingale spoke to the remaining people:

"Thank you very much for hiring me. I will definitely give you the best novice experience~"

After saying this, he exerted force with his arms, showing off his muscles.

The remaining few people smiled awkwardly at this. After all, they were all men and had no interest in muscles.

Then the tall and thin player responded: "Then I'll ask you to be the vanguard for this hunt."

"You are being paid to do things for others, so don't worry. With me here, no monster can get close to you."

After saying this, Nightingale smiled and showed her white teeth.

Another member of the team asked doubtfully, "Is it really okay? Uncle, your chest is completely exposed, shouldn't your defense be very low?"

Nightingale stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying, "No, no, no, I'm level 24, and all my attribute points are in defense. Even if I'm not wearing armor, no monster can break my defense on this first floor."

Several people were convinced by this explanation and continued to move forward in search of prey.

Soon, a huge wild boar appeared in front of everyone.

[Elite Wild Boar lv 8]

Nightingale whistled: "You are really lucky to encounter an elite monster on your first hunt."

"Elite monster? Is it very powerful in SAO?"

Nightingale explained: "Elite monsters are very rare in SAO. Not only do they provide high experience points, but the rewards you get after defeating them are also good. How about giving it a try?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could make up their mind.

So he continued to ask Nightingale: "We are only level 1, can we defeat it?"

Nightingale smiled and said, "It's definitely not possible with just a few of you, but it will be different with me."

"Then I'll leave it to you, uncle. Go and defeat the elite monster!" everyone said excitedly.

Nightingale said at this time: "Hey, I think you guys are doing something wrong. If I defeat that guy alone, the items I get can be counted on you, but you won't get any experience points."

"Eh? That's it."

Nightingale then said, “That’s it, I’ll take the damage and you’ll defeat it.”

"Okay, come on then."

Several people also made the decision to target the elite wild boars.

"Then go ahead and use the pressure hammer!"

Nightingale rushed directly towards the elite wild boar and used a skill on the pig's head.

The remaining three hid behind him, waiting for an opportunity to slash the monster twice.

Some distance away from the battle, Emiya appeared.

Although I couldn't hear their conversation due to the distance, I could see their every move with my powerful vision.

Emiya looked at the wild boar first.

Four meters long and one and a half meters tall.

This is obviously not what the normal world should be like.

In addition, the clothes those people wore, with long swords and armor, were totally different from what modern society should look like.

"Could this be the Age of Gods?" Emiya guessed calmly.

However, this conjecture was soon denied.

Monsters from the Age of Gods can’t possibly be this weak.

Then he found the problem with the group of players who were fighting.

The man in the lead seemed to be helping the people behind him to resist the wild boar's attack.

But the problem was that every time he was attacked by a wild boar, wounds would appear on his body, but he never saw any blood flowing out.

"It seems that the other party is in the same state as me, and is hostile to the monsters nearby."

This is the conclusion that Shirou came to through observation.

However, these local "heroes" are too weak, they are just ordinary people who are slightly stronger.

While he was complaining in his heart, the elite wild boar made a new move.

It pushed its hind legs hard and started running faster. Then it bypassed Nightingale from the side and rushed straight towards the three people behind.

"Oh no." Nightingale was too busy to react.

Because all his attributes are focused on defense, it would be fine for him to just be a front-line tank.

If he were asked to defend his teammates, his agility would not be enough.

Is it possible that I can only watch my sponsor being killed?

Nightingale muttered to himself.

“… Wow, I didn’t expect that I would still have the opportunity to take action even in this place that I can’t even name.”

Emiya groaned and let go of the bow and arrow in his hand.

Then an arrow flew through the air, aiming directly at the elite wild boar's head.

At this critical moment, everyone saw only an arrow inserted into the wild boar's head.

Then the wild boar cried out in pain and lay on the ground, with half of its health bar instantly reduced to zero.

Finally it broke into pieces and disappeared.

"Are you guys okay?"

Emiya revealed himself in front of everyone and asked about their situations.

Everyone also understood the situation and thanked them again and again: "Thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, we would be in big trouble."

What everyone meant was: they would be wiped out by the wild boars and then return to the resurrection point.

What Emiya understood was: if he didn't rescue them, they would die.

Then he said softly: "I'm glad you're okay. I only did it in a hurry. I hope I didn't scare you."

"That is not the case at all."

"Yeah yeah."

"Sure enough, our strength is still far from perfect. It is better to improve step by step."

After thanking Emiya, the few of them left to other places.

Finally, only Emiya was left.

He was the first to think about it. The wild boar he had just shot disappeared directly after death.

It seems that the few people just now didn’t feel anything wrong, as if it was a small thing that could happen at any time. Is this the mechanism of this world?

Then he laughed at himself: "I'm obviously tired of being a 'partner of justice', but in the end this feeling is surprisingly good?"

Previously, Emiya signed a contract with Alaya to save the world as a 'partner of justice'.

But the reality went against his wishes. What he did was not justice at all. He could only choose to give up the massacre of the minority for the sake of the majority.

Thinking back now, it was truly a nightmare time.

But now I don’t feel the constraints of Alaya at all, as if I have regained my freedom.

Then, Emiya smiled for the first time in a long time:

"If this were in this world, maybe I could fulfill my wish."

Although he was not clear about the specific situation of this world, when he thought about the thanks and smiles of the people he had just helped, he knew that his wish was not wrong.

I, the Heroic Spirit Emiya, will become a true 'partner of justice' here!

Then he walked in the direction where those people left.

If he meets someone fighting on the road, he will lend a hand.
