Chapter 20 Death is also the price of pursuing beauty
Midnight is approaching, on the third floor of Aincrad, in front of the Sky Pillar Tower——
This is the ceiling area for the current flight, and Fei landed here to put everyone down.
"Ugh, vomit, vomit, vomit..."
Rinde and Kibaou retched in the otz position.
"Hey, you obviously didn't have to fight monsters all the way, how come you are more embarrassed than us?" Kirito bent down and teased them.
"Nonsense, Sao didn't strangle your neck to cause suffocation. Try strangling you and shaking you for a few hours!" Kibaou said unhappily.
"Could it be that the comfort level down there is too low and you get airsick, right?"
"That's basically it. I might have suffered a big loss this time," Kibaou said as if he was complaining.
"how?"
Linde said: "We have explored this area before. Although we don't know how it will develop in the future, judging from the magic-related information that can be collected so far, magic skills can still be used to break through safely at this stage, just like breaking the balance.
Right? We purposely rushed back from this front line, but if we still have to perform the mission here, we should let the troops wait here and send a small team back to pick up the mission. "
"No, that's useless. This is a personal mission, not a mission for a team or a guild. Moreover, you have to fight with the shop owner once in a duel with a magic weapon that has a high probability of reporting red in the equipment column. This difficulty is not ordinary high.
.”
"But since we can follow, then there is a guarantee of safety when fighting with more people. Even if only one or a few people learn magic skills. Our ultimate goal is to let everyone leave alive, not to compete for who gets how many game achievements and medals in the end.
Don't forget this." Linde said quite righteously.
"Oh, that's right. Then, do you want to eat? Although I think that as a raiding group, you will definitely not forget to bring supplies, but this time the shopkeeper made it for free. The level of food is about 300 kel in an ordinary restaurant. If you don't eat it, you will feel sorry for yourself.
." Kirito pointed at the girls sitting around the makeshift stove in the wild.
Then, he realized that all the people there were girls, and it was a bit stressful for him to go there - this refers to the pressure from Leafa that might appear if his eyes accidentally wandered anywhere.
Even if they are not friends, they still have to bring the two men together.
"Hey, do you want to eat? We have to leave immediately after midnight!" Clawnpisi waved to them and shouted.
Now Kirito doesn't even have to think about making excuses.
"eat--"
No matter who spoke first, Crounpis's hand suddenly turned into an afterimage for a moment, and three seven-layered sandwiches were thrown at Kirito. Kibaou and Linde subconsciously stretched out their hands when they saw the flying objects.
out of hand.
"Tch, kid, why are you asking for a sandwich after you blow so loudly? A 300-col sandwich?" Kibaou took a bite angrily, and then——
"This, this is..."
In short, the men's reactions are no different from those in various food TV dramas.
"It's about time..." Crounpis once again took out the horn flute that summoned Fei before.
At this time, Fei leaned down and asked: "Excuse me, can I go together?"
"Why?"
"No, it's nothing. There aren't many places I could have gone to." Feiruo didn't have the horn-flute summon from Crounpith, so he could only move within the scope of the character assigned to him by the system.
In fact, it is not impossible to leave. There is no so-called system barrier against monsters in the wild, but it is good to be able to recover HP quickly when the home territory is not in a battle state.
Not only that, it discovered that it would be attacked if it entered the territory of other monsters, and even the domain boss might be dispatched. It also encountered players who wanted to attack it.
Thanks to this, it has gained a lot of levels. But in its previous life as a human, it felt miserable enough to be a dragon, and it was even more uncomfortable to fight like a monster. For this reason, what it gained after upgrading and comprehending skills was...
"It doesn't matter to me, it's just that," Crownpis pointed at the entrance of the Tower of Heavenly Pillar, "Although there should be many rooms and passages inside that can accommodate you, your current volume is bigger than this door, right?
?”
"Actually, I learned new skills as I upgraded."
After saying that, her whole body was completely enveloped by the "True Holy Light", she quickly shrunk, and her outline turned into a human form. When the light faded, what emerged was a girl with beige hair who looked like a high school student with a fresh and beautiful appearance, but not otherworldly.
She jumped up and spun around, striking a charming pose and saying, "Even becoming a dragon can't stop my beauty~"
"Congratulations on how you learned [Humanization]. Where did you get the clothes you couldn't break through the barrier protecting the human town?" Cronpis pulled up Fei's dark hooded cloak and asked.
She wore a dark sleeveless blouse on her upper body and a set of leather gloves and sleeves. Perhaps it was because of the pair of small wings sticking out from the back of her waist. The clothes were not one-piece, and the skin was exposed on her waist and abdomen, while her lower body was similar to
Wearing dark trousers consisting of denim shorts, a belt holding a dagger and a waist bag, and dark over-the-knee leather boots.
Elsewhere, they are no different from humans, and their equipment should be that of a thief and assassin.
Are you kidding me that a dragon that is so powerful that it can breathe out from its mouth can be used as a thief or assassin?
Fei leaned in and whispered, "Actually, that... adventurer who came to challenge me, there was a woman in the team one time, I got this from her."
"Kill them and take off their clothes? I remember you were quite kind. Your humanity was finally swallowed up by the dragon's instinct?"
"No, I didn't go as far as killing them and stripping them naked. I defeated them and forced them to leave some of their equipment and let them go. It should be said that I felt that I couldn't attack people... I did that that time and found that the team was not
What a good person’s sake.”
"So, you have worked so hard. Do you have any goals? Do you want to go back?"
"But...is it okay?"
"Do you want me to support you for the rest of your life? But I won't help you with how to travel through time. You can figure it out yourself."
"Is it okay to practice skills like [Transfer] and [Teleportation] to the top level?"
"You don't know, it just means that your strength and character are insufficient. Otherwise, you can either peep into the truth and understand what you need, or you can use your strength to find the information you want."
"Eh... yes, I will work hard!" Fei replied at once. Although Cronpis said it was "high", in this game world that seems to be about to become a reality, just working hard to upgrade and evolve and practice skill proficiency
You will constantly get new possibilities if you go fast, maybe you can actually do it.
After confirming that she would not be heard, Crounpisi turned around and looked at everyone. Even though she was safe, she was still overwhelmed by a bunch of curious eyes.
"Stop chatting and get ready to leave."
After entering the maze, Fei endured the torture of girls touching her wings and itching for quite some time.
