Maple: I can see hidden messages

Three o'clock in the morning.

Kirito and the girls appeared outside the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone, including Kirito, has a red magic mark on the back of their right hand, which is proof of the chain of life.

"action!"

Following Kirito's order,

Shiromine Risa shot out the arrow transformed from the Infinity Blade (clone).

The arrow flew quickly towards the ordinary soldiers guarding the city gate, just within the distance of the arrow. When they were less than twenty meters away, thousands of arrows suddenly split, turning several ordinary soldiers at the door into hedgehogs.

At the same time,

Mashu, holding a shield, also appeared in the gatehouse like a flash, and with one kick, he shot the red ones in front of him. The door kicked off

【Ding!】

【Urgent notice: The Knights of the Big Maple Tree launch an attack on the Lord's Mansion. Players in the initial city are asked to go to the city lord's mansion immediately to help defend the city. Upon success, all participants will receive a 1,000 reputation reward. Every time you kill a member of the Great Maple Knights, you will be rewarded with 1 gold coin and 100 reputation points. Note: Players who participate in the defense of the city can be resurrected in the Living Temple after death without any punishment.】....

The harsh system prompts instantly woke up the players in the initial city.

Player A: What the hell, it’s so noisy in the middle of the night!

Player B: It seems that the Knights of the Great Maple Tree are attacking the Lord's Mansion.

Player A: Damn it, awesome! Establishing a guild during the day and attacking the city at night is too fast!

Player B: There is no way, who can make me stronger! Six of the top ten players in the last event's rankings joined the Great Maple Knights.

Player A: Hey, the rewards seem pretty generous.

Player B: Don't do stupid things. No matter how good the reward is, you still have to get it with your life. You don't want your life.

Player A: The system has said there is no death penalty, what should I be afraid of!

Player B: Aren’t you afraid that the Knights of the Big Maple Tree will retaliate against you afterwards?

Player A: Huh? Be funny! I'm not a big shot, they know who I am. Besides, I'm just here to get a participation award, not to kill people, so why are they taking revenge on me?

Player B: What you said seems to make sense.

Player A: Of course. We won the participation prize and exchanged it for game currency, so we didn’t have to sleep on the street. Afraid of retaliation, they covered their faces so they couldn't recognize us.

Player B: Good idea. Let's go, get out of here!........

The same dialogue was repeated throughout the initial city, and a large number of homeless players flocked to the city lord's mansion in order to get rewards. the other side.

Kirito led the girls into the lord's mansion.

According to Yuna's plan, Azusa Aizawa's team was left at the gate of the city lord's mansion to stop the players who accepted the system mission and came to support them.

Leave the Mailu team to clean up the NPC soldiers in the courtyard on the first floor.

Kirito led the others and continued to attack.

There are two entrances to the second-level courtyard.

Kirito chose one at random.

Come to the entrance.

They were greeted by a hail of arrows from 500 archers.

Maple and Mash immediately stepped forward.

Protect everyone with shields. jingle jingle....

Arrows continuously hit the shields of the two men, making crisp sounds.

-1

-1

-1......

Numbers symbolizing damage continued to float from Maple’s head.

But Matthew was unscathed.

Maple couldn't help but asked in confusion:"Ma Xiu, why weren't you forced to deduct blood?"

Ma Xiu explained casually:"I use a blocking shield. The advantage of this type of shield is that it can be reduced by a percentage. When the blocking effect of the opponent's attack reaches 100%, you will be completely immune to the attack. The weakness is: the blocking effect is limited to the shield itself."

After hearing what Mashu said, Maple's eyes lit up:"Okay Awesome! I'll ask Kirito-san to give me a shield like this later."

While Mashu and Maple were talking.

Risa Shiromine and Misery have cleared all the archer NPCs on the walls and roofs.

Kirito said to Maple:"Maple, you lead the team to clean up the NPC soldiers in the second courtyard. I will lead the team to attack the next courtyard."

Maple nodded cheerfully:"Brother Kirito Go quickly, I guarantee that none of the NPCs here can escape!"

Kirito took Misery, Mash, and Kasumi and moved on.

There were three entrances to the last courtyard, and Kirito chose the middle entrance.

Come to the entrance.

It was still a baptism of arrows from hundreds of archers.

Matthew immediately raised his shield to block the attack for Misery, and Misery also used magic to fight back. There were far fewer archers here than before, and they were quickly cleared away by Misery.

Break through the gate to the last courtyard.

Kirito left Misery, Mash and Kasumi behind to clean up the NPC soldiers in the yard.

He walked alone to the castle where the lord lived!

Come to the entrance of the castle.

Kirito activated the [Red Dragon Soul Ring].

In the charging state, the ruby ​​​​on the ring gradually emits a strange red light.

A green progress bar also appeared above Kirito's head.

After 40 seconds, charging is complete!

Kirito walks into the castle!

The first floor of the castle is a place like an auditorium. There is a red carpet under the feet, and the walls are covered with various flags. There are 50 soldiers wearing heavy armor standing guard around it.

Found Kirito breaking in.

The heavily armored soldiers rushed towards him immediately.

The amplifying effect of [Red Dragon Soul Ring] was activated towards the interpreter, and the strange red light quickly disappeared into the interpreter.

The next second!

The interpreter's sword released a dark red light. At the same time, its attack power increased 16 times, reaching 11,200 points!

Amplification completed!

The heavily armored soldiers in the auditorium just arrived in front of Kirito.

The corner of Kirito's mouth raised, and he said proudly:"I came just in time, let me test the effect on you!"

Kirito waved the interpreter in his hand at a frequency of 13 times per second, and it only took less than a minute. Just kill all the heavily armored soldiers who are close to you.

When the last heavily armored soldier turned into fluorescent light and disappeared from Kirito's eyes, the golden leaves scattered on the carpet suddenly flew up and attacked him.

Kirito once again waved the interpreter in his hand to chop up the leaves flying towards him, but suddenly he had a bad feeling in his heart. really!

There are more and more golden leaves.

It soon reached an almost overwhelming effect.

Kirito's heart moved:

These leaves couldn't be those of Jingui, right?

Kirito remembers that there is an NPC named 'Alice' in"Sword Art Online". The ability of the Golden Osmanthus Sword she uses is to summon the leaves of Golden Osmanthus to attack the enemy.

Could it be.......

Is the lord of the Beginning City Alice?

At this moment, the amplifying effect of the Red Dragon Soul Ring suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same time, Alice wearing golden armor also appeared in front of Kirito. She raised her arms and pointed at Kirito with the branch in her hand:"Knight, it's not too late for you to give up now!"

Sure enough!

Kirito sighed inwardly.

This time I suffered the loss of never seeing golden osmanthus leaves!

When golden osmanthus leaves began to scatter in the auditorium, Kirito thought it was a game special effect! Who would have thought that the city lord here is actually Alice! give up?

Kirito flatly refused:"Impossible!"

Alice sighed slightly, showing a regretful expression:"What a pity! Then, please die!"

Following Alice's voice, a large number of golden laurel leaves rushed towards the sky. It killed Kirito and swallowed his body instantly.

Alice, who thought she had a chance to win, turned and walked towards the throne deep in the auditorium.

She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around and looked at Kirito, who was surrounded by golden osmanthus leaves with an incredible expression:"Why can't the golden osmanthus leaves cause harm to you?"

Kirito explained with a smile:"You The ability is interesting. But it is a physical attack after all. I have the physical immunity skill. So, they can't cause harm to me!"

After the explanation.

Kirito quickly rushed towards Alice. when!

Alice blocked the interpreter in Kirito's hand with the branch in her hand.

The collision of the two produced a lot of sparks.

Kirito was a little surprised:"It is indeed a divine weapon. This is the first time I have encountered someone who can block the interpreter!"

Alice did not respond, but her face became more solemn.

Kirito was twice as fast as Alice, but she was able to dodge Kirito's attacks again and again with the help of her sword skills and the golden osmanthus leaves.

The two fought for nearly ten minutes.

Kirito only hit her three times, and the damage caused was only 2000+, which could only be regarded as superficial injuries compared to Alice's 15W health volume.

How to fight this?

Kirito became panicked.

Do we have to wait until the girls clear out the NPC soldiers outside to come and help?

But.

Thus.

Aren’t you, the leader of the group, very shameless?

It is impossible to use the [Red Dragon Soul Ring] in front of Alice. The golden osmanthus leaves flying in the sky can interrupt the charging state of the [Red Dragon Soul Ring] anytime and anywhere.

Just when Kirito was almost at his wits end.

He suddenly remembered the [Forbidden Hand] mentioned in the hidden message of the [Red Dragon Soul Ring].

It is said that artifacts are made by gods themselves and possess powerful power that humans cannot use. In order for humans to use these artifacts, God sealed the power of the artifacts.

The so-called forbidden hand is a temporary seal of the artifact, which releases the original power of the artifact. However, the method of unsealing each artifact is different.

The method to remove the Red Dragon Soul Ring is even more difficult to describe. It turns out to be: rubbing the European style.

Think of this.

Kirito couldn't help but shook his head:"How can there be an Oppai here to let me......"

Wait a moment!

Kirito's eyes instantly locked on Alice opposite him: Doesn't she have it on her body?

Moreover, the other party is just an NPC, just a bunch of system data. Even if you do something a little too much, you don't have to feel any psychological burden.

More importantly, doing so can save one's face as the group leader. Otherwise, the girls will come later. It would be too embarrassing for him to not even defeat the city lord.

Apparently.

Between being shameful and not being a good person.

Kirito chose the latter!

Using the transformation skill obtained from the Slime King, Kirito extended his right arm. Without holding the Interpreter, Kirito's body was immune to all physical attacks.

Neither the branches in Alice's hands nor the leaves floating around could stop her. soon.

Kirito touched the spot he wanted to touch

【Ding!】

【The artifact you hold: the Red Dragon Soul Ring, has met the hand-banning conditions. Do you want to release it? The effect lasts for ten minutes! ]

Kirito shouted without hesitation:"Release!"

【Ding!】

【Forbidden hand release: All your attributes have been improved by 16 (maximum increase rate) x 73 (cup cup) times. Moreover, during the process of releasing the forbidden hand, the frequency is doubled every 10 seconds, and the duration is 10 minutes! 】

After the increase is completed.

Kirito found that his lowest attribute reached 13,9200.

Damn it!

This increase is too awesome!

Just when Kirito was shocked by the exaggerated increase in the forbidden state.

Alice was already furious and rushed towards him:"Asshole....rogue.....Go to hell!"

The figures intertwined.

Red numbers symbolizing harm floated out of Alice's body.

-Critical hit!

-Instant kill!

-1,9390,5600!

Nani?

Look at the numbers above your head.

Alice was so shocked that she couldn't say a word until her body completely disappeared.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations on killing the city lord: Alice and getting the exclusive set! (This set is only awarded to the first player to kill Alice solo for the first time）】........
