Yuuki died due to the "combined attack" that Verustila induced Kirito and Prosham to make.
Kirito and Prosham did not become famous players because of this, because the cursors disappeared along with the original system menus, etc., and all of them disappeared, and Yuuki's body that should have exploded into pieces and dissipated remained there, but this time
At the time, no one paid attention to the causes of these changes.
"Really."
The time for the BOSS battle was over, so all abnormal conditions were canceled and Crounpisi stood up from the altar with ten tubes of HP restored.
"Mom, I successfully delayed the time, how about it?" Verustila waved to Crounpisi and said happily.
Naturally, she would not feel any other pleasure than killing a player who was hostile to her mother.
"Well, although releasing the energy in my body can prevent the 'Earth Cut' from going out of control, there should be a better way. I'll slap you on the back for stabbing me in the back later, so go back now."
Crounpis put her hands on her hips and snapped her fingers, summoning herself as a counter-summon for the third stage of the BOSS.
"Next -" Crounpith jumped off the altar and walked towards them, saying, "What on earth are you here for? The successful prevention of Aincrad's floating city from taking off does have some meaning.
It can be considered a 'great deed' that can be written into the epic, but I can't think of any benefit to you. The person in front of you is not the only one who has sacrificed for this.
"How many human adventurers and mercenaries died outside trying to break through the Holy Tree? Almost all of my compatriots were killed by them.
"However, from a personal perspective, when Yuuki was my guest, I was quite satisfied and fond of her. For this reason, I won't fight back in a way that threatens your lives, and I won't let you beat me for even a minute.
Okay, do you want to come?"
If this fails, Crounpis will have to find someone else to promote the plot and speed up SAO's appearance. But judging from the current experience, it should not be as convenient as the one designated by the system. They specially gave Kureia a chance to kill SAO.
It has a special characteristic, and it is unavoidable to use it in battle. This can't be concealed. Obviously, all the teachers and players who were in the way were killed. Alas...
"Just in time!" Kirito suddenly stood up, stared at Crounpis with eyes that he didn't know if he had any emotion, held the unmarked black sword in one hand, and stepped over.
Leafa and Asuna reached out their hands almost at the same time to grab the corner of his clothes, but they couldn't.
"Dad!" Yui threw a fireball towards Kirito's back.
Kirito started sprinting, and put his other free hand behind his back to make a sword-drawing gesture, and the flames turned into a crimson sword that was longer than Yui's height.
"Could this be... [Iron Maiden]!" Crownpis stretched out her hand to activate her inherent magic.
Thorny pillars suddenly rose from the ground and surrounded Kirito, heading towards him.
Kirito burned them all with one sword blow.
"It's really a 'Unit elimination sword'. However, it can only eliminate units, and it has no effect on terrain."
Crownpis gestured with her hands to activate the script magic with the authority to modify the terrain.
Kirito immediately raised the unmarked black sword that was strengthened and linked to his own skill proficiency. Whether it was pillars, walls that restricted movement and intended to be double-teamed, or sharp and sharp terrain that was intended for killing, all were cut open without distinction.
.
"There happens to be no 'Iible Terrain' here, so it's really troublesome."
As for the swamps or traps covered with fragile ground, Kirito, who was on guard, stepped over them using his water walking skills and rushed in front of Clawnpith.
"Have you learned Argo's little trick that scared me a little, but -"
Crownpiss jumped twice to avoid the "Unit Elimination Sword" which he could not resist unless his system was destroyed. He put his fingers together to ignite the skill light and activated [Hand-Threading Thrust] to stab Kirito's shoulder at high speed.
Kirito is indeed very strong as a player, but he is too young to have a head-on conflict with Crounpith.
Her fingers pierced Kirito's shoulder directly.
The screams were quickly suppressed, but Kirito still looked like he was shaking in pain, clenching his teeth, unable to open his eyes and trembling with eyelids, as if tears were about to come out.
"Are you thinking that the pain shouldn't be this bad? I have seen the [Phantom Book Technique] of the Fairy King Oberon who was possessed by the evil god before. It has the function of adjusting the pain blockage. Do you human adventurers also have it?
After all, [Phantom Book Technique] originally has the convenient function of confirming one's own life at any time. It is the best state to limit the pain to a level that does not hinder movement and thinking and does not cause numbness to the damage. This is why you dare to be more powerful than ordinary people.
It’s easy to leave the town and face the monster.”
"That's enough...enough." Kirito opened his eyes suddenly, and what appeared was a pair of golden eyes!
He threw away both swords, grabbed the hand that had stabbed Crounpisi into his shoulder, and pulled it out regardless of the enlargement of the wound. He turned around and used the [Over the Shoulder Throw] in the [Physical Arts] skill to slam Crounpisi to the ground.
Throw out.
But Clunpis was already familiar with this kind of move. After being turned over, she firmly touched the ground with her feet, grabbed Kirito's hand, and threw him out at a higher speed.
Everyone worked together to catch Kirito and cushion him to prevent secondary damage. They almost hit the wall of the BOSS room before stopping.
"You, could it be——"
Crownpis noticed that she was put on a platinum ring with gorgeous gems by Kirito using a method that was theoretically very supernatural for humans. She was about to say something, but there was a sudden "peng" and she was wrapped in smoke.
When the smoke dissipated, Crounpis found that he was only about two feet tall.
Her skin was gray, the fairy's pointed ears were replaced by a pair of hamster ears on the top of her head, and there was also a hamster tail on the back. The gemstone and platinum ring turned into a collar that fit the size of her neck perfectly and was put around her neck.
"What's going on?" Crounpisi moved her body to feel it, and found that the current comprehensive strength of this quantum incarnation body was much lower. It looked like a hamster-like beast mother, probably because the wise king of the forest turned into a human form.
Appearance.
But the biggest problem now is not in this aspect.
After replying, Kirito stood up and walked towards her, saying: "This is the 'Ham' (Ham)'. This (setting) is a prop invented in recent years. It makes us less likely to be noticed and attacked by monsters."
It is a rare equipment that many people are willing to buy for 500,000 koels. It can only transform into a weak hamster and cannot use most skills.
.”
He silently added in his mind: One of the reasons why it is so expensive is that some players use the height difference caused by turning into a hamster monster to peek up at some of the girls' unique scenery and even do hidden crimes to avoid being chased by guards.
