General Orochi was not convinced by Kirito and challenged Kirito, who happily accepted without thinking.
"Are you okay, brother?" Leafa was a little worried. She was confident that her brother and sister's skills were definitely better than General Orochi, but it was also a domain boss. The most troublesome thing about the boss was that it had strong attack power and many HP slots. Players had to hit the boss countless times.
In order to win, the boss only needs to hit the player several times or even once or twice to defeat the player. There is no time to recover HP in a one-on-one battle. Even if you gain a technical advantage at the beginning, you may accumulate fatigue and mistakes and lose.
"Ah, it's okay, don't worry." Kirito touched Leafa's head and stepped forward to face General Orochi, who was not weaker than the Snake Warrior Lord in terms of height.
More than three minutes later——
"Crushing the game, it turns out that my brother is more powerful in fighting in this world." Leafa looked at Kirito who was holding his sword against the body of General Orochi, who had only a trace of HP left, and thought to herself, "Brother... he is so handsome."
Kirito: "How is it? I am targeting the lord, how can you be my opponent?"
General Orochi: "...I'm willing to give in."
Kirito: "Why are you obsessed with me? Is it because you are a samurai?"
General Orochi: "...I might be laughed at if I tell you this. I don't know why, but when I see you, I think of the fear of death...I don't want to admit it...it's really ridiculous."
Kirito couldn't laugh or cry. During the closed beta period, there were only four players who arrived at Thousand Snakes City. At that time, Diabel, Cobell, and Mitte, who were wearing vests, attacked General Orochi and were beaten to the ground.
He gained half the blood of General Orochi.
If it weren't for Kirito's euphemistically called rescue of monsters, the three of them would definitely have to return to the town. Unfortunately, since the launch of the sao server, only the four strongest and somewhat friendly ones who have reached the forefront of Thousand Snakes City have been killed.
Half of the players are really dead.
Diabell died in the first-level defensive boss guide. The boss changed his moves in different beta periods, which seemed to be a bit of a heroic sacrifice. Cobell was in a miserable state. After meeting Kirito, he wanted to drive a train to kill people and steal the mission, but he was killed.
The monsters attracted by driving the train were swallowed up; Mitte and Asuna were classmates and friends in reality, and they also formed a team in SAO. Before meeting Kirito, he left the team because he was afraid of seeing death, but he still served as the first echelon.
The player is alive.
Leaving aside the heavy topic, even if Kirito didn't grab the half-health monster, he still defeated the Orochi General with full health and status once solo.
He guessed that just like the snake warrior lord and Kizmel vaguely remembered him, the record of General Orochi being killed by him was a psychological shadow after his AI was strengthened and he acquired his own thinking. However, his sword skills were almost the same as those during the closed beta period.
There is no change, only the additional thunder attribute and the flexibility of combat methods have been slightly adjusted, but Kirito is also stronger.
After Kirito put away his sword, he suddenly remembered the business: "Oops, I'm definitely late now. I hope they don't start fighting."
"A fight? The teammates you brought are in the Shura Field?" Leafa said with a sideways glance.
"...How is that possible?" Kirito was dumbfounded.
"By the way, this is for you. It is a drop from the Snake Warrior Lord. I think it will be more useful to my brother." Leafa thought of this incident.
Kirito had just taken a few steps when he saw an item transfer prompt window appearing in front of him. It was a skill scroll. It was a skill that delayed immobilization [Sword Skill Buffer]. Its performance was to delay the immobilization time by 0.5 seconds. This time would at most allow the player to change postures.
, have the opportunity to prepare to receive or block the attack that takes advantage of the vulnerability.
But it is different for Kirito. [Sword Skill Combination] does not allow you to switch sword skills casually. It must be that after the previous sword skill is completed, the posture of the body and the position of the other hand are combined to be very close to the next sword skill.
Techniques can only be used to reliably use [Quick Switch] or even [Awakening] to forcefully break the freeze and activate linked sword skills, so there are only a few fixed combination skills, and the sword skills currently mastered can only be connected three or four times at most.
With [Sword Skill Buffer], it will give him 0.5 seconds to change his posture - the posture of the next sword skill, as long as his body can bear it, doubling the number of consecutive hits is not a dream. As for why it is not doubled, it is just because he has mastered it.
Neither the number of sword skills nor the sustainable time of multitasking can be infinite.
Kirito couldn't help but feel a little doubtful - he had agreed to a duel with the snake warrior lord before he had even thought about [Sword Skills Combination]. Could it be such a coincidence? Or was it because he learned [Sword Skills Combination] on his own?
Later, the system corrected the drop of the snake warrior lord who was "destined" to kill him?
If the system favors him, could it be that, as Krampis said, he is really the savior of SAO... If you trigger the main mission as the strongest player during the closed beta period, you may be given that status. Being the protagonist is the greatest joy of RPGs.
One, however, his appearance is different from the one used during the closed beta period, or Kayaba Akihiko is not accurate. Everything about the ID is different except the name, and he does not inherit the original character attributes. How does the system determine his identity?
Ah, brainwaves?
Kirito quickly left this incident in a corner of his memory that could be dug up when necessary. This bothered him less than the problem caused by the reputation of "Koga Ninja".

The giant python let out a painful cry, then was torn apart like a corpse by the light of the red sword, turning into pieces and disappearing.
"Humph, it's not even worth taming." Nelunel put the red crystal sword back on her shoulder and said.
"A beautiful blow, Miss Nelunel." Kio said seriously.
"Where, the ability and long-term accumulation of the ancestral magic sword 'Pledgor' that has been strengthened to the extreme by a large amount of crystals obtained recently are the key points."
"Does Miss Nelnel also practice swordsmanship for a long time like Mia?" Yuuki asked.
"No, that's not the case. The 'Pledgor' is in my hands. It has the power to take away part of the soul and body of the surrendered person." Nelunel said without hesitation.
"Wow." Yuuki jogged a few steps and came to the side of Crounpis, and whispered a little excitedly, "Miss Nelunel's sword has such a magical effect, can it also have that kind of magic?"
Crounpisi smiled and shook her head, saying: "No, that's not magic, it's just the effect of the sword's material and Neluniel's racial ability. I've gotten along with you human adventurers a lot, so I can use your understanding.
It’s said in a way that means killing monsters will increase experience points and the treasure drop rate.”
"Oh - then this is an ability that many players dream of!" Yuuki became a little excited.
However, Crounpis was riding on a snake monster and beating it with her small hands. She no longer dealt with the excited Yuuki and raised her head and said: "Hey, Miss Nelunel, there is really no suitable beast here."
Are there monsters in the field? I think there are quite a few with moderate strength.”
