On the last day of 2023, Heathcliff, the head of the Blood Alliance Knights, called on the three guilds of the Ayngrun Grant Army and the Holy Dragon Alliance to jointly attack the boss of the fiftieth floor.

Due to the experience of heavy casualties on the twenty-fifth floor, the commander of the army, Mu Fei, hesitated, and then the next day, when the members of the middle and lower guilds went to ask the guild leader Mu Fei, they found that in addition to Mu Fei, they even brought more than sixty high-level main forces as if they had evaporated from the world, although their names were still in the guild menu and friend menu, but they all turned into uncontactable gray.

Having lost most of the main raiders, the other two guilds could only grit their teeth and send all the elites in their guilds to send them up, and Le Yuan, a celebrity among the lone players, was naturally being drawn in.

A series of blows made the team that was reluctant to carry out the strategy start to collapse soon after encountering the boss, if it wasn't for the Heatscliff human figure BUG stepped forward to resist, Le Yuan, Kiriko, and Asuna struggled to fill the vacancy, the death toll would have doubled, and at the cost of twenty-four deaths, the strategy team completed the fifty-layer strategy.

For a while, everyone became panicked, and the sudden disappearance of nearly sixty people also pushed the Irongrunt Combined Army to the forefront, at which time Tilberu stood up and withstood the pressure from the outside world and began to lead the Irongrunt Combined Army, which had greatly reduced its combat strength.

Various rumors are rampant, such as Akihiko Kayaba's fear that the Combine of Ayn Grant will secretly kill them, or the Combine of Inn's Grande Combine Commands secretly intercepted and killed a special monster after discovering it but unfortunately being killed by the counter-killing, or the Combine of Aeingrant Combine Commander has discovered a bug that can leave SAO and has successfully left the game......

As the only one who can control SAO now, Akihiko Kayaba did not stand up to explain to everyone at this time, but allowed the incident to continue to ferment.

As Le Yuan, who has a close connection with the high-level of the Irongrant Combine Army, naturally many people came to ask if they knew the reason, but Le Yuan's answer was only one "I don't know", although some people were unwilling to do this, but there was nothing they could do. After all, no one can confirm that Le Yuan told a lie.

Le Yuan is still living a solitary life, and the only thing that makes him think about it is the skill that suddenly appeared in his skill bar, the second knife flow. That's right, it's the original protagonist Kirito brushing the boss, playing handsome, and picking up girls.

This skill suddenly appeared in his skill bar on the seventh day after the army broke away from the game, Le Yuan looked at it N times repeatedly, and personally tested this skill, there is only one sentence to describe: "The damage is off the charts!" ”

It's not impossible to hold dual swords, and there are no special restrictions in this game, but as the game is all about - the world of swords. Ranged strike weapons such as crossbows do not exist, and even with ranged attacks such as the Flying Sword skill, ammo limitations make this skill a poor prospect.

In the final analysis, the damage of this game is a skill in addition to equipment and attributes. Although you can attack with both hands with dual swords, but the use of skills only supports one, and the damage of empty dual swords does not increase much, but it is not safe to equip a shield, so basically no one has done this kind of thing since the start of the game.

Of course, these are not the point, Le Yuan looked at the effect of the "Second Knife Stream" skill on the increase in damage, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of the special skill of the brave arranged by Kayaba Jinghiko, which is considered to be an extra-level skill." But it's only the quickest players, am I? Le Yuan tried to start thinking about other promotions with fast reactions, if it was only about the agility attribute Le Yuan believed that other players also had reached the full value of 30 points. But whether reaction speed equals agility is a big question mark.

Le Yuan, who obtained the "Second Knife Stream" skill, was not happy, on the contrary, obtaining this powerful skill also meant that he had been selected by Kayaba Jinghiko, although I don't know if Kayaba Jinghiko would monitor him all the time, but there was a collective disappearance of players in such eyes. As the one in charge, he will not be unaware of the relationship between Le Yuan and the missing person.

In late January 2024, a tavern room on the 52nd floor of Leyuan made an appointment with his old friend "Mouse" Argo.

As an intelligence broker, Argo is not a combatant, but she still has a dirty piece of equipment and a brown cloak that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Le Yuan took a drink from the waiter NPC and handed it to Argo and said with a smile: "You shouldn't be so poor as this, right?" Don't girls like to dress up pretty, aren't you a girl? As he spoke, Le Yuan's eyes looked at Argo's chest as if they could penetrate the equipment.

Argo pulled his hair over his chest and shouted, "Hmph, you guy is still the same. It's not going to please girls at all, don't you know that your words have hurt my fragile girl's heart? Of course, if you're willing to pay 10,000 kol, I think I'll forgive you! ”

"I'm still too naïve." Le Yuan half-covered his face and said with a headache: "Argo, as an old friend, don't you tell me where you spent all your money?" There shouldn't be so many newbies who need your help right now, and besides, isn't Achill also supporting the player, and he doesn't seem to be poor enough to be like you. ”

"How about I'll tell you, a thousand Kors?" Argo brought his merchant nature to the extreme.

Although Le Yuan usually can't say that he has no desires, but with the large amount of money he obtained from defeating the Judge Nicolath before, he now has a deposit of almost one million Ker, and the little money that Argo said naturally doesn't take it to heart, and with a wave of his hand, he hits Kell to Argo's account.

"Hehe, in fact, I am also responsible for taking care of a large group of children, of course, the more money, the better, and in order to maintain the liquidity of intelligence trading, how can I spend it casually?" Argo said, taking the money.

"Kid, on the first floor?" Le Yuan couldn't help but think of the luck of taking care of the children on the first floor, and after recalling for a while, Le Yuan cleaned up his mood and said, "How is it, is there any news about the intelligence?" ”

"Of course." As soon as Argo talked about business, he immediately became serious, "The emerging orange guild 'Titan Hand' seems to be active on the thirty-seventh floor, and this is their recent activity trajectory. ”

Le Yuan carefully looked at the information provided by Argo, and then Argo suddenly said: "Le Yuan, I have found the information of the person you want me to find, do you want to read it now?" ”

"Huh?" Le Yuan raised his head and looked at Argo, the person naturally referred to Heathcliff, Le Yuan hurriedly said, "Please leave it to me immediately." ”

Argo didn't say a word and sent the information to Le Yuan, looking at Le Yuan who was studying on the side, he couldn't help but say: "I have checked the person of Heathcliff, almost all the players in the closed beta know nothing about this ID, and according to the tone of Heathcliff's behavior, it is definitely not a closed beta player, and before the twenty-sixth floor, although I found information about him, there seems to be something wrong." ”

"I see, thank you for the information, Argo!" Le Yuan closed the information window and said: "Regarding Heathcliff, I hope you can continue to investigate, I will go and solve the problem of the Titan Hand first, you drink slowly, I will settle the account." ”

Leaving the fifty-second floor, Le Yuan came to the "Dewar" block on the thirty-seventh floor through the portal, and when Le Yuan described the appearance of the leader of the "Titan's Hand" to a single swordsman player in the tavern, the player on the opposite side immediately remembered.

"Ah, are you talking about that woman? It's really a rare beauty, and I can't forget it after seeing it once. The one-handed swordsman took a sip of wine and said, "Two days ago, she joined the team 'Wings of Freedom', and it seems that she has been leveling up in the forest area to the west for the past two days, what a lucky bunch." ”

"To the west?" Le Yuan thanked him for his knowledge and immediately rushed over.

Just as Le Yuan approached the center of the forest, he suddenly heard a plea for mercy.

"Please, we'll give you the props, please let us go." A middle-aged man's voice said.

"Everyone is trapped in the game, please leave us alone." This time it was a young man who spoke.

"Alaala, since you've said so, let's hand over the props first." A voluptuous female voice spoke.

Le Yuan came to the back of the tree and activated the enemy seeking skill to observe the situation in front of him, only to see four people who were in a state of paralysis, surrounded by eight orange players led by a green-named rose-haired woman.

The rose-haired woman paralyzed one of them and put a cross gun to his neck to force him to hand over the props.

When they looked at the encirclement again, they saw a man in a blood-colored coat holding a black sword against the neck of the rose-haired woman, and said sharply: "Rosaria, the leader of the Orange Guild 'Titan Hand', you are suspected of robbing and killing players, and I will send you to prison now." ”

"No kidding, do you dare to kill me in the name of orange? Then you'll be a murderer too! Rosalia didn't seem to believe the sudden burst of Le Yuan.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a solo player, the little orange state only needs to stay in the wild for a while, do you think it can threaten me?" Le Yuan's sword made a slight cut in Rosaria's neck, but it was such a small wound that caused Rosaria's HP to drop by nearly a third.

"That attack power, and this outfit, is he the Lone Wanderer Scarlet Executive who has been chasing the orange player?"

"That top player in the Raiders?"

"We, can we deal with him?"

………

Le Yuan took out the corridor crystal with one hand and said: "Now I give you two choices, one is to go into the prison by yourself, and the other is to be killed by me, how do you choose?" ”

There is no deterrent skill in SAO, but after these eight orange players saw Le Yuan's eyes, they didn't know why they seemed to see death, and they only felt that their lives were completely caught by the other party, and they didn't even dare to escape.

sent these nine lives to the first layer of prison, and Le Yuan's main quest two finally came to an end, and at the same time, Le Yuan's main quest three appeared in front of him.

Main quest 3: Liberation
