Chapter 185 - Chapter 183: Fear

Sword Art Online World

Far away in the weapon shop, Liz blushed with embarrassment upon seeing this scene and kept covering her face.

She thought she would hide this feeling forever, never expecting it to be exposed by the light screen.

"So, do I still have a chance?"

While she was happily lost in thought, Kirito was running wildly across the plains...

"Asuna, put the knife down! What are you trying to do!"

Kirito kept running away in terror. He didn't know why she had suddenly gone berserk!

He thought she was going to cook, but it turned out she wanted to stab him!

Could she have been infected with a virus!? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. That bastard Kayaba Akihiko never played by the rules; it was entirely possible he implanted viruses in the players!.....

[The Screen Continues]

[Kirito and Liz returned to the weapon shop...]

[Liz took out the metal material and carefully hammered it each time...]

[After hammering the metal over two hundred times, the weapon was finally completed...]

[The sword was named «Dark Repulser»!]

[The blade emitted a metallic luster like emerald, natural and smooth, and you could clearly feel the emotion infused into the sword...]

[Kirito took the «Dark Repulser», swung it a few times, and felt very satisfied...]

[Seeing how happy he was, Liz was about to confess her feelings when Asuna rushed over just in time, checking on her with a worried expression...]

[After all, she had been missing for a long time, so Asuna thought something had happened to her...]

[When Liz saw the look in Asuna's eyes as she paid attention to Kirito, she understood who she liked...]

[Her initially excited heart gradually calmed, and she left the two of them in despair...] ....

Some players returned to their respective guilds in embarrassment.

"You went to the 55th floor to find metal??"

The cadre-level players were all very envious. The weapons Liz made with that quartz metal looked incredibly strong!

After all, even the Black Swordsman praised them highly!

"That damn dragon is hiding in a deep pit and won't come out!"

"As soon as someone goes down, they get blown away by a strong wind!"

No one dared to jump down. After all, no one wanted to die.

No one was willing to risk their life for a piece of quartz metal.

Ice Dragon: "Hah, a bunch of people are surrounding my door. I'm so scared! Help me!".....

[On Screen]

[Kirito engaged in a fierce battle with a Lizardman in the labyrinth. Sharp sword flashes streaked, and metal collided, creating dazzling sparks...]

[With sharp reflexes, Kirito nimbly dodged the Lizardman's sword, twisted his body, and swiftly struck four times...]

[Boom...]

[The Lizardman became a dead soul under Kirito's sword and vanished into points of light...]

[While in the forest, Kirito suddenly spotted a snow-white long-eared rabbit ahead...]

[With precise aim, the rabbit kicked the bucket in the blink of an eye...] .....

Natsuki Subaru: "Now whenever I see a white rabbit, I tremble all over. I hope this is a normal rabbit..."

Witch of Gluttony  "Chomp chomp chomp... I wonder how it tastes; it must be delicious!"

Rabbit: "I hope there are no foodies in heaven..."

"Really Cute" Rabbit: "Damn humans only know how to eat us every day!".....

[On Screen]

[Agil looked at this S-rank rare item, his hands trembling uncontrollably...]

[The number of Squeaky Rabbits was extremely rare, and very few encountered them. This was the first time he had seen one in person...]

[Just as the two were worrying, Asuna appeared before them...]

[Kirito immediately found a chef who could cook it, showed the Squeaky Rabbit to Asuna, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How about it? I'll give you a bite after it's cooked!"]

["I want half!"]

["Fine..."]

[Asuna was so happy she took Kirito back to her home...] ....

"The taste is truly unforgettable, but it's a pity I've never encountered it again!"

Grandpa Kirito wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and kept running.

After all, there was a tigress chasing him from behind, which really scared the kid...

"Kirito! Stop running! I just want to use you... just use a knife to cook!"

Asuna shouted while brandishing the kitchen knife, trying to get him to stop.

"What a liar!"

Grandpa Kirito didn't even look back; he just kept running!

In Reality

"My brother is always causing trouble with girls!"

Suguha pouted. How many girls were there now!

He's even going home with Asuna now, that woman...

Pfft! Shameless!

If only she had followed!...

[On Screen]

[Kirito finally ate the Squeaky Rabbit meat. It was the first time in two years he had eaten something so delicious...]

[Asuna took the opportunity to propose teaming up. This week's lucky color was black...]

[Kirito didn't want to team up with her; he was a solo player, so he quickly refused...]

[But Asuna pulled out a knife and held it to Kirito's face. Under her blatant threat, Kirito was forced to agree...] .....

On an Isolated Island

Esdeath approved of this behavior; after all, she did the same.

"When you meet someone you like, you have to be this forceful. Only then can you firmly keep him by your side!"

Tatsumi, who was fishing on the beach, shivered. It was extremely cold tonight...

When could he go back?...

As the old saying goes, boys must protect themselves when going out.....

[The next day, the two met at the teleport gate on the 74th floor...]

[And Kuradeel, the bodyguard Asuna had previously dismissed, also came over...]

[He didn't approve of Kirito at all and completely looked down on him as a "Beater," so he demanded a duel!]

[Kirito didn't refuse him and accepted his act of throwing his life away. With just one sword strike, he destroyed his weapon. The so-called bodyguard couldn't even last one move against him...]

[Kuradeel couldn't accept this fact and wanted to change weapons to continue the fight, but his ugly behavior was interrupted by Asuna, who relieved him of his bodyguard duties...] ...

Within the Knights of the Blood Oath

Kuradeel stared at Grandpa Kirito with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth in hatred, making gurgling sounds.

"Damn brat, I must find a chance to kill him!"

His ugly, wrinkled face looked like a demon from hell. Disgusting...

"Now we can only ask the leader to kill him!"

"Hehehe... You cheater, you're finished!"

Kuradeel revealed the mark on his shoulder, and terrifying laughter came from the basement...

[On Screen]

[Inside the labyrinth...]

[The elite monster Skeleton Warriors fought a bloody battle against the duo but ultimately lost to their coordinated attacks, just like that...]

[The two explored the labyrinth, defeated many field monsters, and found the boss room at the labyrinth's end...]

[Asuna nervously grabbed the corner of Kirito's clothes...]

["What should we do... Want to take a look?"]

[Kirito nodded. The boss wouldn't leave the room it guarded. Just opening the door should be fine...]

["Prepare the Teleport Crystals first..."]

[The two held crystals in their hands, pushed open the boss room door, and nervously walked in...]

[Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!]

[The fire altars in the room quickly ignited with blue-white flames, illuminating the entire room...]

[At the far end, the firelight reflected the boss's figure. It had goat horns, its body was covered in blue fur, its tail was like a cobra's, and it held a greatsword...]

[It slowly opened its eyes, its demon-like pupils staring at the two people at the door...]

[The Gleam Eyes brandished its sword and struck at the two!]

["Roar!!!"]

[The demon's roar terrified the two, and they ran away without looking back...] ....

Gleam Eyes: "Did you see that! This is the power of a demon! Have you all learned it!"

Kirito had never had to flee until now, but this time, he was scared out of his wits just by looking at it!

Ice Dragon: "Brother is awesome! Brother is stronger! Brother 666!"

The Renegade: "Brother's roar invigorates my body and mind!"

Kobold Lord: "Brother, can I borrow your sword?"

Fatal Scythe: "Brother, carry me..."

The bosses who had been bullied by Kirito all showed reverence. As expected of a demon, different from the rest!

Gleam Eyes: "Open your eyes wide and admire my heroic posture!"

"Looks amazing! Study hard!".....

[On Screen]

[Kirito and Asuna ran to the teleport gate, sitting down paralyzed with lingering fear...]

[The boss on this floor was absolutely no small matter; they had to make corresponding preparations, or clearing it would be impossible!]

[Asuna took out the lunchbox she had prepared...]

[Kirito ate happily. As expected, cooking was the most important. What shocked him even more was that Asuna had actually used ingredients from this world to make soy sauce...]

[While Asuna was enjoying Kirito's praise, Klein arrived with his teammates...]

[Klein never expected this lone ranger to actually bring the famous "Flash" along. He was overjoyed for a moment; Kirito finally had the right idea and knew how to team up...]

[Immediately after, members of the Army arrived, took the map from Kirito, and the captain resolutely headed to the boss room, disregarding the soldiers' fatigue...]
