The Advent of the Infinite King

Xie Chen frowned, he knew what was going on with the strange feeling at that time.Shaking his head, he sighed: "It seems that my luck is not good enough, otherwise I would not have produced such delicious food, and it took three days to drink it." Then, as if thinking of something, he said to Ya Si Na said, "What is the raw material of this tea?"

Asuna kept her hands on her hands, and said while processing the ingredients: "It is the leaves of a plant found around Danaku, plus the concentrated flowers of Floria, and it is finally made after repeated edification. The raw materials are It’s not that hard to come by.”

While she was talking, she clicked on the message she had just received. Xie Chen walked over and asked, "Who sent it?"

Asuna said, "It's Tiabell, let me bring him some tea when I pass tomorrow."

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows, walked over and stood behind Asuna, stretched his hand from her waist and replied directly, "Because the raw materials are really hard to get, so I don't have many stocks here, so I'm sorry. "

Asuna looked helplessly at the closed message interface, and said a little funny: "What are you doing?" Xie Chen replied: "Nothing, am I wrong? It takes a lot of money to make this tea." After so much effort, wouldn’t it be too hard for you if anyone wants to give it away, so don’t give it. We can just drink it ourselves in the future.”

Asuna pursed her lips and smiled, she knew that Xie Chen was still a little brooding about what happened just now, she was really upset that Tia Bellu drank the first pot of tea that she didn't drink herself.

At this time, there was another message icon flashing in front of Asuna, it was Tia Bellu, he asked, "Xie Chen?"

Xie Chen and Asuna were silent at the same time, and then Asuna laughed outright, and said, "Look, your tone is so obvious that Tia Bellu could see it directly. Xie Chen's face darkened Shen, "hummed" and said, "Don't pay attention to him. "

However, when Asuna went to the headquarters the next day, Xie Chen still brought tea with her. Xie Chen knew it and didn't stop it, but just cut back the amount that Asuna gave by half, plus she didn't give tea to Tia for a day. Beru has a good face.

For Xie Chen's petty temper, Tia Bellu didn't mind, and Asuna wouldn't say anything, anyway, he would return to normal after a day.

The next day, just like what Asuna and Tiabellu said, Xie Chen returned to normal, as if what happened yesterday never happened.Except for the fact that tea is still tight.Tiabell tried every means to get more tea from Asuna under Xie Chen's supervision, but Xie Chen chased and intercepted him from all sides, just to prevent Tiabell from getting it.At the beginning, Asuna would try to persuade or worry about it, but in the end, the battle of wits and courage between the two of them on the tea seems to have become a daily routine, and Asuna had to get used to the sudden fight between the two of them. way of getting along.

In the two daily routines of doing missions and frontline raids, time slowly passed.They finally found the room of the last boss. The boss on the 75th floor, the Skeleton Hunter, has a huge body. Just like its name, the whole body is made of bones. Bones don't have skin or flesh, so they're also great defensively when interviewing a particularly tough opponent.

Xie Chen clearly remembered that in the original plot, this was almost the end of the entire SAO plot.It was here that Kirito discovered something was wrong with Heathcliff, and then exposed his identity. In the end, he and Heathcliff died together and captured the entire game.

But for now, this is just a hurdle on his way to conquer.No matter how difficult this boss is, it is only a 70-story boss. If you can't defeat it now, what will you do when you face the [-]-story boss or even Kayaba Akihiko himself? ?

And it turned out that the battle in the plot was difficult, and people died one after another. Heathcliff could have made great efforts in it, because his command caused this result, but now it is Xie Chen who is commanding, so it will not This happened.

What I want to say here is that after the last battle ended, the news that Xie Chen held up the collapsed front alone spread throughout Aincrad, causing quite a stir just like the previous news. This time it's bigger.They used to know that Xie Chen was very powerful, but they didn't know exactly what level it was, but now, they knew.

Chapter 210 Seventh Lost

It was also because of the great prestige caused by this incident that the command of the strategy battle this time fell into Xie Chen's hands.After the last battle of the army, something happened.There seemed to be a problem internally, so they didn't catch up with the strategy battle this time, and this result happened to be what others were expecting.

After several trials and difficult strategies, the Skeleton Hunter, the guarding boss on the 75th floor, finally fell.However, there were still casualties in this battle, even more than the previous one.

They could only accept this result calmly, but Kirito didn't seem to think so.He looked at Xie Chen who was blocking him, frowned and asked, "Head, why are you stopping me?"

Xie Chen looked calm, looked at the group of people who were gradually going away on the road ahead, and said slowly: "You just passed by like this, what do you want to do? What do you think you can ask? What's more, if you ask If you don’t come out, do you want to do it directly?”

Kirito frowned, and said: "But Heathcliff killed someone! I saw it with my own eyes, because of his command, that person died. Don't you know all of this?"

Xie Chen turned around, looked at Tongren, and said after a while: "I know, so what? I already knew."

"What?" Kirito opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then frowned even tighter, "Then why don't you expose him, find out his true face, and just watch those people die like this?"

Xie Chen chuckled, and then replied: "I feel sorry for the deaths of these people. But can you say that they wouldn't have died without Heathcliff? You also know that what we have to face now The BOSS is getting stronger and stronger, casualties are inevitable, I don't remember you being such a naive person."

Kirito lowered his head, then raised his head again, with a look of confusion and firmness, he said slowly: "I understand what you said, but these are two different things. Being killed by a boss during the battle and being killed by someone else's frame Death, it's different, at least, I can't watch the people who killed others live and do nothing."

"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Xie Chen asked suddenly.Then Kirito was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "But Heathcliff..."

Xie Chen laughed, and said to Tongren: "Tiren, do you think we are not like a good person, knowing that there is something wrong with him but just watching like this, but have you ever thought about why we don't go How about exposing him? Do you know the reason for this?"

Kirito opened his mouth, then fell silent, and said: "I..." He looked at the three people standing on one side, Xie Chen looked at him, there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and Tiabellu who was standing on the side frowned. She looked at him with frowning, her expression was calm, and the smile that had been hanging on her face was faint and almost invisible, but Asuna didn't look at him, she looked at the distance and frowned slightly as if she was thinking deeply.

Then he said: "Maybe I was too impulsive." He smiled wryly, wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he just stood there silent.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and finally Asuna broke the dull atmosphere. She shook her head and said, "Today's event was actually something we didn't expect. I feel very sad about that person's death. I also want to question Xi's question." Zcliff, even fight him, but obviously, I can't."

Kirito frowned and asked, "Why?"

The corners of Asuna's lips curled up slightly, she smiled bitterly, and replied: "I can't tell you the reason yet, but you know that we, even Xie Chen, who is standing here, your leader, cannot face him head-on for the time being." On. The reason, you will know in the end, and it will do you no good to tell you now."

Kirito wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Tia Bellu, and he said directly: "In short, we have always been vigilant against Heathcliff, and it is our responsibility for him to do such a thing today. , There are some omissions in the plan. But as a member of the guild, you have to obey the orders of the leader. Didn’t I tell you to obey the orders before, and today you are going to find Heathcliff with your own will, yes Have you forgotten this order?"

"I didn't!" Tongren retorted immediately, he came to Xie Chen because he didn't have one, but he didn't expect that Xie Chen not only didn't support his ideas, but even blocked his actions.

"Then go back and stay obediently, don't do unnecessary things. This matter is beyond your control now, if necessary, we will tell you." Tia Bellu said.

Tongren pursed his lips, then nodded, and said with a lost expression: "Okay, I understand." Then he smiled slightly, looking very bitter, "It seems that I really did unnecessary things, But why?"

Xie Chen looked at Kirito's gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Your condition doesn't seem to be very good now, and the strategy battle is over now, I'll give you a few days off to rest. Wait until you reply Come back soon."

Tongren smiled, as if a little forced, and said to Xie Chen: "That's fine." He looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Then I'll go first, and I will come back when I recover. Captain, Aya Captain Sina, Captain Tiabell, goodbye." Kirito bowed his head to them, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Asuna said worriedly, "Nothing will happen."

Xie Chen replied: "Don't worry, it won't." After all, he is also the original protagonist, how could he be silenced by this little thing?

"That's good. In fact, he did nothing wrong, but Heathcliff's status does not allow him to do so now." Asuna pursed her lips and said.

Xie Chen smiled, put his arms around Asuna and said, "Okay, don't think about him anymore, let's think about what to do next."

Chapter 210 Eight Underground Labyrinth

"Is there anything else to do after that?" Asuna said.

Xie Chen stroked his chin and said, "There is still a labyrinth underground on the 75th floor. There is a BOSS inside. I am wondering if I can try to defeat it."

"Is it an underground labyrinth?" Asuna pointed her finger deep in her chin.After thinking for a while, he said, "The level of the bosses in the underground maze is uncertain, but almost all of them are much higher than the levels of the guarding bosses in the maze. If we go now, it may be too early."

Tia Bell also said on the side: "That's right. It's like the BOSS in the underground labyrinth on the first floor. If you encounter another one like him this time, tsk tsk."

The underground labyrinth on the first floor mentioned by Tia Bellu was only remembered by Xie Chen when he discovered the existence of this labyrinth when he was doing a task.The name of that BOSS is The Fatalscythe, the sickle of fate.According to Xie Chen's deduction, there are at least ninety floors of boss strength, which means that they will almost only meet in the later stages of the strategy.

"There is probably only one boss like that in the whole of Aincrad." Xie Chen said with a smile.

"So we're still going?" Tia Bell asked.

Xie Chen nodded: "Yes, and this has something to do with my mission, otherwise I don't really care if I go or not."

"So that's how it is." Asuna said, "Then let's find some time to take a look. This time, we can only observe at the door. After all, the room where the boss was just now is a crystal invalidation area. What will the maze look like? If it is true, I still want to say that you'd better not go, after all, so many people have died just now, if..."

Asuna's mood was a little depressed, she didn't finish her sentence, Xie Chen said directly: "I understand what you mean, I won't take risks, don't worry."

"The next strategy battle, it should be a long time later. After this battle, everyone has suffered a lot. It should take a while to recover before rejoining the battle." Tia Bellu said.

Xie Chen nodded knowingly, and said: "I understand this. After going back, I will take a two-day vacation to adjust, and then proceed step by step. Maybe we have to do something else. The exploration of the next level of the maze, Just start next week."

The next week, that is, three days later, Tiabellu thought about it in his heart, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell them, this time I will have a good rest for a few days when I go back."

Heathcliff returned to the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Order. After sitting on the chair, he stopped talking. Everyone else was kicked out, and he was left alone in Noda's space.

He put his hands on his chin, the waves in his eyes changed, and finally returned to calm.Today's accident really gave him a surprise. "The devil king? It should be the last chosen warrior, but he was named a devil king. It's a pity that you are not the real devil king. I'm looking forward to what your expression looks like when we finally meet." The corner of his mouth Slightly raised, showing a smile with some coldness, but also a hint of anticipation and watching the show, and stood up.Originally, it was just because watching other people play RGP is the most boring thing, so he participated in it. The Demon King's people have always overshadowed him, standing at the top of the entire SAO.

So his attention to this person has never been weakened, this powerful and strange boy.Now he seems to have discovered something?Heathcliff smiled, and things seemed to be getting more interesting.

Xie Chen looked at the progress on his task panel, and it didn't take long to reach the final stage, but he didn't know what was going on. The next step of the task had not been released, which made Xie Chen start again. I have a headache.When there are no clues, there is no progress at all. When there are clues and the task chain is opened, people are too busy to die. What kind of rhythm is this.Xie Chen not only complained silently in his heart.Then when he accidentally reached a place, the task that had been silent for a while suddenly responded, and the last clue that came down pointed to the 75th floor.But he didn't find anything in the labyrinth area, and there were no clues after all the final bosses were solved, so he decided to go to the underground labyrinth to have a look, maybe he would gain something.

"I don't know who set up this task, so be patient..." Xie Chen walked, talked, and paid attention to the environment on both sides.He is now in the underground labyrinth of Corinia on the 75th floor, and he is now looking for the trace of the boss.This time, he didn't bring anyone here, just himself.In fact, this will be more convenient. You can use his methods that are inconvenient for others to see. This is not the boss in the labyrinth area. There are almost no people, so he is not careless. It's very tricky, but I don't know what rewards will be given for solving the boss of the underground maze?

Xie Chen thought silently in his heart, then pulled out the sword with his right hand, flew forward and swung it down, the monsters in front were wiped out within a few moves.Xie Chen didn't put away the sword, but just held it like this, and walked into the depths of the underground labyrinth.

The magic power in his body was constantly running, and the magic eyes opened to scan everything around him. In this way, even though he was alone, the speed of searching was not slow at all.

After more than an hour, Xie Chen finally found the location of the boss.A faint green light flashed in Xie Chen's eyes. This is a firm skill that comes with the game, and it has been of great use in collection after he obtained it.

Looking at the level of the boss in front of him, Xie Chen was slightly relieved. Fortunately, it was only level 85, so he could still handle it.Now Xie Chen has reached level 93, and he can reach the full level with seven more levels, so he can still deal with a level 85 boss.

Chapter 210 Nine Strange Scenes

Because the level of the boss in front of me is lower than I expected, so I can't help but feel excited. I want to fight the boss in front of me. By the way, I will test how much power I can exert. It has been a long time since I knew his flame fist. None have been used.Xie Chen felt that his skill proficiency would definitely drop if this went on like this.

So Xie Chen looked at the boss, and rushed up with a sword in his hand.

Asuna, who was still at the headquarters, suddenly raised her head from a pile of documents and asked, "Where is the head?"

Sheng, who was standing aside to sort out the documents, raised his eyes and said, "I don't know what happened now, but an hour before this, the leader went out by himself."

"What?" Asuna immediately took it up, frowning with dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said, "This morning, I told him not to let him go by himself, and this turned out to be like this, really..." Then she directly He walked out from behind the desk and said to Shengya without looking back: "I will hand over the subsequent documents to you. If you can't deal with it, go to the deputy head Tia Bell."

Tia Bell looked at Sheng Ye standing in front of him with some headaches, and asked helplessly: "You are..."

"Deputy Captain Asuna asked me to come to you." Sheng Ye said calmly and in a flat tone.

Tia Belle rubbed the center of his brows, then waved his hand to Sheng Ye, and said, "Put it here first, I'll look at it later."

But Sheng also frowned slightly, and looked at Tia Bell with a trace of urging and dissatisfaction: "There is nothing else, but these documents will be used soon." Picked up a small pack of paper and showed it to Tia Bell.

"So your consciousness means let me deal with it right now?" Tia Bellu raised his head and asked.

Sheng also nodded and said: "Yes, so please sign the deputy head as soon as possible to ensure that things can go on smoothly."

The corner of Tiabell's mouth twitched, so why should he handle this as Asuna's work!What about Asuna people?

Sheng also raised his eyes and replied, "Deputy leader Asuna just left immediately after hearing the news that the leader went out alone."

So is it Xie Chen who went to find the boss alone and then Asuna went after him?A deep sense of powerlessness surged in Tia Belle's heart. It is really enough for these two people to always leave their work to him!

He sighed, then put aside the same number of documents in front of him, and then took the ones handed over by Sheng Ye, and the appointment began to read.

"I must apply for a salary increase, and what about the vacation I agreed to? I will definitely go after they come back, no matter what these two people say..." Tia Beilu whispered in his mouth, and said quickly Flipping through the documents in his hand, he raised his head from time to time and said something to Sheng Ye, while Sheng Ye recorded it seriously and quickly.

And Asuna, who had already missed an hour, after chasing Xie Chen's position, saw a scene that made her feel a little, um...unbelievable.

Xie Chen was fighting the boss at first, and after using all kinds of methods, there was no surprise at all. When the boss was suppressed by him, and then he used his methods almost once, Xie Chen had a feeling that if things go on like this, here It is estimated that there will be problems in the space, so he decisively put away his magic power, except for a few status-enhancing skills on his body, the others are useless.

As expected of a level 85 BOSS, Xie Chen struggled to suppress it simply by relying on his sword skills after not using his own skills. Xie Chen saw that the speed of its blood bar falling was really slower than before. That's fine, so after circling around for a while, he directly looked at the Dotted Magic Eye.

Xie Chen's eyes radiated a faint pink and blue gleam, and the world in his eyes had changed.The long-lost familiar feeling made him a little excited. When he was fighting the BOSS, his eyes were fixed on it, and criss-crossing dots gradually appeared on its body. Chen's eyes are so bright.

Finally, Xie Chen found the most obvious and convenient line, this is the weakness of the BOSS!He flew up with force from his feet, swung the sword with both hands, and after it landed, the boss's HP gauge did not change, but his whole body became stiff, and then a strange change occurred.

Because the magic eye of the dotted line consumes a lot of magic power, and the skills he used just now made the space here a little unstable, and more importantly, the skill of the dotted line magic eye directly attacked the boss just now essence.

This is the game world, everything is made of codes, that is to say, Xie Chen's sword just cut off the code of the BOSS program, destroying it from the root, since the essence of existence has been destroyed, the BOSS It no longer exists.
