Welcome to Wanjie Tavern

A golden light shone from everyone present, and Heathcliff, whose HP bar was on the verge of disappearing, immediately saw that his blood bar quickly returned to a safe position, and at the same time, the physical strength consumed by the battle also quickly recovered.

Kirito and Asuna also recovered from the injuries they suffered from the battle with the silver knights. After recovering, they were about to pick up their weapons, but were stopped by Mu Mu who stood at the front.

"This is not your battle, this is my battle."

The knight armor on his body disappeared, and along with red bright spots like flames, a pair of black and red leather jackets appeared on the man named Ashes, which looked very worn, but was similar in style to the armor on Artorius. First.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the pointed iron hat on the cheek covered by the high collar.

And the sickle-shaped dagger held backwards in the left hand, and the huge sword carried on the shoulder.

"Did you know? In the long future, there is a group of undead people. They are regarded as ominous symbols. They shoulder the curse of the loss of humanity, but it is this group of people who take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.

They monitor the abyss and fight against it. They swear to the wolf blood that they will never allow the abyss to harm the world.

They have a common idol, that is, the knight under the king who walked into the far-reaching world alone many years ago. "

Rarely, the knight with a broken arm did not take the opportunity to attack, but stood there, listening quietly.

"Now, I, Ashes, the last member of Faran's Undead Team, here, like the spiritual leader of Faran's Undead Team, one of the Four Horsemen under the King, Abyss Walker, Artorius, challenge!"

The great sword in his right hand was raised towards the wolf knight, and the short dagger in his left hand rested on his raised right arm.

The French undead team saluted, and the next thing was the straight sword between the two, fighting endlessly to the death!

Speaking of which, the captain of the undead team finally gathered wolf blood and became the salary king?

I remember that the undead team has been burned as firewood once, right?

Chapter 87-A Yamato and the captain of the undead team are in the second stage at the same time, what should I do?

The battle between the wolf knight and the thousands of queens who worshiped him was not as gorgeous as imagined.

There is no dazzling ornate swordsmanship, and most of the attacks used by the two sides are the kind of fierce attacks that would kill an ordinary person with one blow.

The blue and red knights walked around each other with similar steps, and the occasional weapon clashes were only torn apart quickly after contact.

However, Mu Mu, who wears the armor of the undead team, is superior in strength and skill. After all, Artorius broke his left arm, so he can't show the posture of being a wolf knight with both offense and defense when he is close to a big sword .

It’s also very interesting to say, when Mumu released the miracle of recovery at the very beginning, he wanted to heal Artorius’ arm together, but Artorius’ broken arm seemed to be caused by some causal force As wrapped, all the miracles and spells that tried to heal him, all had no effect.

In the confrontation again and again, Mu Mu relied on the claw-shaped short dagger in his left hand to gain the upper hand. Using this short dagger as a support point, Mu Mu could make more swift and violent slashing movements. At the same time, The swordsmanship honed by the undead team on the edge of the abyss for a long time is even more difficult to resist in front of the wolf knight Artorius who is seriously injured and has been eroded by the abyss.

Artorius, who jumped up again, was slashed and flew out by the epee that came out from the side after Mumu rotated his body around the dagger. At some point, the armor on Artorius became more and more Strong, the blade in his hand is getting sharper and sharper.

Similarly, Mu Mu also felt the familiar feeling of being wrapped in armor resurfaced again.

At this time, the two are no longer the characters that appeared in a certain game. One is a brave knight under the king, and the other is an undead who has gone through the entire road of spreading fire and finally ended the age of fire with his own hands.

The abyss cannot corrode Mu Mu's body, his will is the hardest armor.

"Puff——"

The Fran sword in Mumu's hand pierced Artorius' abdomen, and black and red blood flowed out from the torn wound on his abdomen.

Without hesitation, at the same time that he was stabbed, the wolf knight's great sword in Artorius's hand also pierced into Mu Mu's chest.

Compared with the armor of Artorius, which can play a lot of roles, the light-weight Falan undead armor on Mu Mu's body was pierced almost every time he encountered any obstacles.

The blood of both sides dripped from their bodies, and the two knights just kept their postures deadlocked in place.

----

"So, you have accepted the mission sent by this NPC before?"

The HP returned to a safe position, and Heathcliff, who took the bottles of medicine from Asuna and poured them into his mouth, touched his mouth, and turned his attention to the battle in the ring arena.

What a powerful battle that was, different from those gaudy sword skills that I designed, the battle between two knights, one blue and one red, was the one who risked his life and vowed to kill his opponent fight.

Perhaps... this kind of battle can make people experience the inadequacy of survival.

Rubbing his chin, he watched Heathcliff fighting in the arena, thinking about the possibility of modifying Aincrad's combat procedures in his mind.

Well, then the workload would be too much, and a lot of hair would fall out.

"Yes, leader, Kirito-kun and I have been working on the strategy of this mission this week."

Asuna still has a good feeling for Heathcliff. After all, no one would hate a boss who is capable, considerate of his subordinates, and even gives himself a holiday?

"Kirito, what do you think of this NPC?"

Heathcliff found Kirito who seemed to be thinking about something from the very beginning. Heathcliff also spent a lot on Kirito for this young man who had attracted his attention since the beta test. thoughts.

"Heathcliff, do you think the creator of this game, Akihiko Kayaba, will personally participate in this game?"

Kirito frightened Heathcliff as soon as he opened his mouth. Under Kirito's questioning, Heathcliff almost thought he had been exposed.

Fortunately, Kirito also explained clearly, he was just surprised that the NPC named Ashes had too flexible movements and dialogue system.

Not like an NPC, but real people.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this NPC named Ashes had a very routine situation, that is, the state of not answering half a sentence except for topics related to the task.

It's hard not to think that at this time, the players went to eat first, and then the online characters were handed over to the AI for hosting.

"Kirito-kun, do you think that for a person who created such a beautiful world, he would isolate himself from that cold machine?"

Heathcliff dropped an ambiguous sentence. Such an answer reminded Kirito of the situation where criminals would return to their crime scenes out of excitement and curiosity.

In other words, Heathcliff also thinks that Akihiko Kayaba is somewhere in this game, watching all the players carefully?

"Kirito, leader, look!"

Stretching out her arms, Asuna pointed to the center of the arena.

Just as everyone was communicating, new changes took place in the battle in the arena.

As the two knights, one red and one blue stabbed their weapons into each other's body almost at the same time, a new change suddenly appeared on the two who had been stalemate for a while.

Black-purple mist erupted from Artorius' body, like a continuously gathering purple-black ball.

Mu Mu, on the other hand, appeared countless corpses dressed exactly like himself from the ground at his feet and behind him. Red blood mist drifted out from the corpses and gathered into Mu Mu's body little by little.

In the end, the energies gathered by both sides burst out at the same time, and the purple-black and red energies collided together. The huge fluctuations caused Artorius and Mumu, who grabbed each other's weapons, to be overwhelmed by this force. It bounced back and flew out.

However, the two knights did not fall to the ground in embarrassment. Instead, they adjusted their posture in the air and stood firmly on the ground.

A purplish-black mist wrapped around Artorius' body, while Mu Mu's body was also covered with a thick layer of red blood mist.

The Flame sword in his hand ignited after touching the blood mist, gathering the wolf blood of all the undead team members, and now Mu Mu has become an existence close to the salary king!

Chapter 88-The Man Who Walks the Abyss Alone

[Mission objective: Defeat Artorius, the walker of the abyss, and face Kirito, Asuna, and Heathcliff in the form of the king of salary. 】

This is Mumu's mission in the world of SAO, and the leaked truth about Abyss is a disaster for no reason.

Looks like today is the end of the mission.

After gathering the wolf blood of all the members of the undead team, the blade of the sword ignited the flames with a little fire. The armor and cloak that were originally dull due to dust shone brightly under the light of the fire. The somewhat damaged lamp on the top of the head The pointed helmet also reflected the burning fire.

Contrary to Mumu, Artorius was completely eroded by the abyss in his body and lost all his humanity. Now the wolf knight is already a walking dead.

"call----"

Mu Mu, who was entangled in the embers of fire, attacked first, and rolled over as if to dodge, but got up again and slashed the French sword in his hand towards Artorius.

The bewildering blow didn't succeed, but Artorius, who jumped up in the air and pounced forward, slashed on his shoulder with the wolf knight's great sword in his hand.

However, apart from causing some damage to Mu Mu, this blow was nothing more than that.

Mu Mu, who has entered the salary king state, can almost ignore these originally powerful attacks. In terms of the game, it is Mu Mu's current resilience, which will not let him fall or be disrupted after being hit by an attack. footsteps.

The shoulder was hit by the wolf knight's great sword. Mu Mu raised his left arm, and stuck the dagger in his hand on the blade of the wolf knight's great sword. Immediately, the flaming Flaming Great Sword pierced directly into Yaltriu. Adams' chest.

The jet of flames lifted Artorius' dirty blue cloak, and at the same time blew the wolf knight away.

Artorius, who fell to the ground, rolled a few times on the ground, and quickly returned to his previous posture, but Mu Mu's speed was faster. The swordsmanship improved by the undead team has always been the pride of the Faran undead team. It has been dubbed the title of a super sword, but the improved swordsmanship based on the wolf swordsmanship has continuously defeated the first-timers every time at an extremely fast speed.

It was so fast that people couldn't see how to make this blow. They just squatted on the ground, and Mu Mu appeared next to Artorius in the next second.

The Fran sword in his hand slashed across the ground with a burst of burning flames, and then stabbed straight forward.

Artorius, who was defenseless, was stabbed by this blow. Mumu, who succeeded, lifted up the great sword of Faran directly, and then smashed Artorius heavily on the ground like swinging a sledgehammer. on the ground beneath his feet.

The stone floor was shattered, and the splashed gravel bounced off the stone pillars in the nearby arena, hitting the armor of the two men and making a clanging sound.

"call----"

Artorius, who was pierced into the body by the great sword of Fran and was thrown directly on the ground, erupted a violent energy shock from his body, and the purple-black mist flew away Mu Mu who was trying to approach and give the opponent a fatal blow. go out.

Leaping up from the sunken hole, Artorius's sword skills, dubbed wolf swordsmanship, had already reached perfection.

But the broken left arm greatly reduced his strength, and he couldn't use shields to defend, and he couldn't even hold swords with both hands.

Compared with the light and flexible Mumu, every attack of Artorius is like a falling boulder. The huge momentum makes it difficult to think of parrying. The only right way is to roll and dodge.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

A sword technique that has never been seen before was used by Artorius. The successive heavy blows obviously did not belong to the category of wolf swordsmanship. Artorius, who was eroded by the abyss, relied on his own instincts in wolf swordsmanship after losing his mind. based on improvement.

He seemed to understand that the enemy in front of him was very fast, but so what?

It's like a description of a specific location in a game, maybe you can A me dozens of times, but I only need to touch you once, and you're done.

It is necessary to stop Artorius's swordsmanship, which looks like a rascal. After seeing the reality of Artorius swinging the sword, Mu Mu rolled and stuck to Artorius's side, his left hand The short dagger pierced Artorius' abdomen, and after using the inertia of his body to launch a forward stabbing sword skill, the short dagger in Mu Mu's hand pulled a huge hole in Artorius' abdomen. wound.

There were no organs such as internal organs flowing out of the wound, only the black filth spewed out like a flood from a broken gate.

Mu Mu, who succeeded in one blow, did not hesitate any longer, and the great sword of Fran in his hand was ignited again. The blazing flame was accompanied by three strikes in consecutive directions, and a forward stab slashed at Artorius' body.

As if sensing the approaching threat, Artorius once again condensed the power of the abyss in his body, but at the moment when the impact was about to explode, Mu Mu's body suddenly wanted to retreat, and then avoided Yar After the energy erupted from the body of Telius, the stride called wolf lunge was mixed with the epee strike from top to bottom, and it was published straightly on the chest of Artorius that opened his arms due to the release of energy. .

"Shh——"

If there is a blood bar, then Artorius must have only a thin layer of blood left at this time.

As if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, Artorius, who had been struck by the sword, no longer had the strength to stand up from the ground. He stayed in place while kneeling, holding the right hand of the wolf knight's great sword. The arm beat down slowly.

Just when Mu Mu thought that the former wolf knight was completely dead at this time, the lower head of Artorius suddenly lifted up. Even through the helmet, Mu Mu could feel the pain coming from the opponent's eyes. That relief.

It was the look of an elder looking at a junior who was growing up.

【Thou art strong, human

Mighty human, well done...

Surely thine kind are more than pure Dark

If your essence is more than darkness...

I beg of thee...the spread of the Abyss...it must be stopped...

Please... stop the abyss...

Ah, Sif, there you are, all of you... Forgive me...

Ahh, Schiff, there you are, everyone, please forgive me...

For I have availed you nothing...

In the end, nothing was accomplished...]

Along with the mumbling of the wolf knight, the walker who dared to challenge the abyss alone closed his eyes here.
