Nidhogg Can't Keep Up

Only the red afterimage of the blade flashed like a storm, the monster's HP continued to decrease like a stream, and the fallen lizardman entered the area covered by the sword shadow and was brutally killed.

Even though the monsters had all been shattered into data fragments, Ned Hogg was still stabbing mechanically on the spot, venting his bad mood.

Habitually flicked the rebelliousness and put it in the strap, but the restless heart wall still didn't improve.

"Tsk, looking for a BOSS in the labyrinth area, the mobs in the wild can't help but beat them up, not even sandbags."

Speaking of words that made most of the players burst into tears, Ned Hogg walked towards the tower in the distance.

A day later, a shocking news spread within the second floor.

The second floor, pass the level!

It is only one day away from the first level of customs clearance.

Chapter Sixteen: Forget about speeding up the progress.

(Careless, after I downloaded Dongfang Shenmilu, I found out that the game does not support XP...Damn it! Dusk is so irresponsible!)

Main task: if it is a man, go to the 100th floor, progress 100/49.

DevilMayCry, progress: 100/0

Sub-quest: Stand-alone Big Touch: Progress 5/5

No injuries throughout: In: 1/1.

After turning off this tired holographic projection, Ned Hogg sighed.

one Year.

It has been a year since the 1st and 2nd floors of 'Aincrad' were cleared.

One year is not long or short, but for the players living in 'SAO', this year is longer than any previous year or... very long...

In this year, too many things happened, so much that even the intelligence sellers who collected information were too busy... The most exciting information is undoubtedly the progress of the 'Aincrad' strategy.

After clearing the 1st and 2nd floors, the progress of the strategy in 'SAO' has improved by leaps and bounds. Although things like being trapped in the 1st floor for a whole month still happened from time to time, but because of the 1st and 2nd floors, the progress of the strategy has been improved by leaps and bounds. Players who realize that "this game can be played" have hope and hope, and all the players who are somewhat self-motivated are almost trying their best to attack 'Aincrad', and they are no longer as muddled as they were on the first floor up.

Even so, the changed appearance of 'SAO' after the public beta still brought a lot of difficulties to the players, but the progress of the strategy is still increasing steadily due to the emergence of many masters among the transferred players.

During this year, 'SAO' still reached the 49th floor.

Now, those people or guilds who are at the forefront of the activities and stand at the peak of the players have formed a clearing team, aiming at: "Aiming at the top floor of 'Aincrad', continue to struggle on the highest floor that has been cleared."

Although the players in the strategy group only accounted for a small portion of the more than 49 players in 'SAO', it is still not a small number based on the [-]+ players. Their level and equipment are beyond the reach of ordinary players. Comparable, 'Aincrad' can reach the [-]th floor within a year, most of the credit is on them.

Now, the players who make up the clearing group are roughly divided into six camps.

The first camp: "Fenglin Volcano" guild, the president Klein, the friend of Kirito, the protagonist of the original book.It is a well-regulated guild with a good reputation.

The second camp: "Holy Dragon United" guild, compared with "Fenglin Volcano", has a bad reputation and misbehavior, but the number of members ranks second in 'SAO'.

The third camp: "Knights of the Blood Alliance", the head of Heathcliff, the trumpet of Akihiko Kayaba, the last shady man in the original book.His guild is recognized as the most powerful guild, the members are expensive but not expensive, and the vice president is Asuna.It is also the guild that Nidhogg and other hosts focus on, mainly to find out how much GM authority that guy Kayaba Akihiko has left.

The fourth camp is the guild "Edge Watch" that is not in the original book.The number and strength of the members are medium, basically they are foreigners from Europe and America, and their style of work is more like that of Shenglong United, but it is slightly better.

And the fifth camp is the unexpected five-person team "Corona".The captain is Xiao Chenxing, known as "Yan Chi Demon Sword", and the members include "Wind Talker" Lolita, "Beheader" Miyamoto Kazuhide, "Drawing the Sword" Himura Kenshin, and the strongest player in the legend , "Devil Sword Maker" Ned Hogg.

This team is the only one in the entire 'SAO' with only five members, but it has a strength far exceeding that of most player organizations.

And the last camp of the strategy group, which is also the weakest camp, is the solo player camp.

There are only two players in this camp, and one is called Agil: the owner of an item store, he is a shrewd businessman, and he spends a lot of effort in cultivating middle-level players in private. Although he has not joined any organization or trade union, he is a force in itself.

The other person is the protagonist of the original book: Kirito.

Although because of Ned Hogg, Kirito was not excluded on the first floor like in the original book, and he was not involved with the "Moon Night Black Cats" to cause a psychological blow, but Kirito seems to be stronger than Ned Hogg. I like stand-alone.Even if friends are not as rare as in the original book, but he has almost never teamed up with others, but his strength is beyond doubt. Although he is not as popular as the most popular "Devil Swordsman", the title of "Black Swordsman" is also unheard of. I don't know.

Originally, there was another guild faction in the strategy group: "Army".A guild with the largest number of people and the largest scale, its strength is no less than that of any guild in the raiders group, but it suffered heavy damage due to playing off the 25th floor of the raiders, and it once had a conflict with the 'Corona' team, a continuous battle broke out Half a month of conflict, this is also the famous battle of the 'Corona' team.In this battle, the "army" withdrew from the strategy group without embarrassment, and was not very active in strategy. Although they were still active at the forefront, they no longer had any sense of presence.

Thanks to the efforts of the guilds and players in the strategy group, nearly half of the way to the complete clearance of 'SAO' has been completed, and a lot of contributions have been made. In the eyes of ordinary players, the members of the strategy group are idols.

And a quarter of the 50 floors of 'Aincrad' were captured by five people.

That's right, only five people...

These five people are the "Corona" team.Among them, Ned Hogg cleared three levels alone, for the task.

If the players in the clearing group are the idols of ordinary players, then the "Corona" team is at the superstar level, and Ned Hogg is no different from gods in the eyes of ordinary players and even the clearing group.

It is the God of Raiders!

Whoops, just kidding.

With only one person, he defeated the bosses on the 1st, 2nd, [-]th, [-]rd, and [-]th floors. He was so powerful that he could become a guild by himself!

Nidhogg seldom appeared in the player's sight. Even if he heard that someone saw him occasionally, he would have left long ago when others went to verify it. Even intelligence agents couldn't tell where he was.According to Xiao Chenxing, the captain of "Corona", "Every time he reaches a new floor, he goes back to the labyrinth area to clean up monsters, and only wanders in the wild when he gets bored."

In fact, because the captain of "Corona" Xiao Chenxing is relaxed and easy-going, and has no airs, players all know that "Corona" is a strange team with loose discipline and always lack of staff during operations. People can only see the team when they conquer the maze boss It seems that there are two or three people in this team who like to go alone.Especially the demon swordsman Ned Hogg, who was not there when the player saw "Corona" in public.

Such a result casts a bit of mystery on the legendary team. In addition, the appearance and temperament of the team members are above the level, that is to say, they are very good-looking, so that each has a lot of fans...

The titles of the members of the "Corona" team come from their fighting styles. Lolita has excellent archery skills and is as fast as the wind, which fully fits her title of professional windrunner.Demon Sword Maker Xiao Chenxing does not allow pure magic because of 'SAO', but his sword skills are all sword skills with elemental attributes, and he especially likes to use fire, which is called "flaming magic sword".Because Kazuhide Miyamoto used a rare heavy weapon, the spear and axe, he often cut off his head with the blade when killing monsters, which left a deep impression on people, especially when monsters from other worlds would spurt blood, it was so sour... Although Anyone who has been in contact with him knows that he is a very gentle guy, but the horrible appearance of the monster's corpse still frightened many people, hence the name "beheader".

And Feicun Kenshin, according to Xiao Chenxing, is the only inheritor of the ancient Japanese swordsmanship.Every time after drawing the sword, the stormy attack is shocking, and some people have heard that the members of the Corona team called him to draw the sword, so he followed suit.So "Ba Dao Zhai", the title of his dark days, reappeared in 'SAO' and became a title full of respect, things are impermanent.

As for Ned Hogg, everyone who met him was impressed by his silver greatsword. The greatsword with the half body of a man and a demon looked quite evil and weird, with a hint of religious feeling.Also, what he once said when teaching Kibawang on the first floor was somewhat plausible. After it was spread, someone once commented on him as a devil for "killing an unknown number of people", although those who called him were basically beaten by the crowd... But the name of the demon was still retained, so it was called "Devil Sword Maker".
