Chapter 303 Aincrad

Just as he stood up, he suddenly felt a pain in his forehead. The world in front of him was disassembled into countless fragmented pixels, and then quickly reassembled into a normal picture.

It's nothing, maybe there's something wrong with my body. Just as Lin Yan was thinking this, he suddenly realized that both the birds flying outside the window and the sounds outside seemed to have slowed down.

He was a little uncertain, so he opened the door and looked at the people outside. It seemed that their movements had slowed down a lot.

Soon he realized that it wasn't that things outside were slowing down, but that he was speeding up...

"Our roles are controlled by our minds. The more developed our brains are, the faster we can act."

"In that case, my brain has been more developed?" Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the grass and began to think. It was impossible for him to have such a change suddenly. The reason might be that another self patted himself on the shoulder.

From him, I gained a higher level of brain development, that is, mental power.

After some calculation, I realized that my profession was now a swordsman, which meant high attack speed and high burst, and the weakness of defense was made up by the White Wolf Armor. In this way...

After adjusting his state, Lin Yan finally felt that the flow of time around him was becoming more normal. He also intentionally controlled his own speed, trying to keep the same movement frequency as the people around him.

He didn't want to be targeted by the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights of the strategy group.

That guy is the referee, and you can tell with your toes that he will cheat for you.

The one who is in the limelight now is still Kirito who has acquired the dual-wielding skill. I just quietly contribute behind the scenes and then safely survive until the end of the Aincrad incident.

Damn Kayaba Akihiko!
After routinely cursing Kayaba Akihiko, Lin Yan came to a wild monster spawn point in the suburbs.

His current level has reached 63, making him a lone player in the strategy group, following the same path as Kirito in the early stages. However, he is not as good as the best in terms of operation or combat awareness. As of yesterday, he had already shown signs of falling behind.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Yan might have already planned to retreat to the second line, go fishing and grow flowers in the game, find a girlfriend, and live a happy life together.

But now, since I have obtained this... golden finger that may not matter to my other self, I now have enough capital to give it a try!

The figure of a mutated mantis monster covered in steel suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yan, while Lin Yan held the dragon crystal sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

Swordsmen are like this, they can't just be cool. A one-handed sword is cool, but many monsters' ultimate moves are guaranteed to hit within range, and no matter how agile you are, you can't dodge unless you can create distance in advance.

At this time, having a shield in hand can at least resist 50% of the damage. If the shield is of higher quality, the weight will be lighter. In theory, the ultimate enhancement of damage resistance can reach 99%.

Lin Yan easily dodged the three consecutive area attacks from the mutated mantis monster in front of him. Then, the long sword in his hand gathered power and emitted a light. Before the light faded, he struck the same position with three consecutive swords like lightning. The powerful force pushed the mutated mantis monster back several steps. Then, it let out a roar and continued to rush towards Lin Yan.

Without exception, all the moves were dodged at a speed that almost left an afterimage. Even the area-based attacks were avoided by Lin Yan by going around his back.

Behind the mutated mantis monster, Lin Yan's long sword completed charging in mid-air, and slashed horizontally with sharp claws!

When I emptied the last bit of the mutated mantis monster's health bar, I could clearly feel that the speed at which I used my skills had also increased.

"No obvious weaknesses." Lin Yan touched his chin and commented: "As expected, as long as the speed is fast enough, I don't need to defend myself at all." He put away the shield in his hand and looked up at the sky...

"In that case, let's go explore the maze today."

The maze is filled with various traps and monsters, and is the place with the highest number of player deaths in Aincrad.

In the deepest part of the maze, there is a hidden BOSS room, which is the path to higher floors. However, nowadays, as the strategy group becomes more and more powerful, the strength of the BOSS is also becoming more and more abnormal.

And every time there is a reduction in the number of members in the strategy team, it will seriously affect the strategy for the next floor.

The monsters in the strategy group are quite challenging for Lin Yan's current level. A single monster is okay, but challenging a group of monsters, especially those with high attack speed and fast movement speed, is quite difficult.

But now it is not a problem, since the speed is getting faster and faster, Lin Yan's reaction is gradually keeping up. In the process of fighting, swords intersect, pass by each other, and the monster slowly turns into light particles.

In just one day, Lin Yan's level actually rose by one level!
At level 64, health increased by about 10%, and values ​​such as strength and stamina also increased significantly.

The defense is still the same, so fragile! Lin Yan saw that it also increased by 10%, but because the basic value was not high, the defense was useless, which gave him a headache.

"How much health is restored per second?" Pull down the personal status bar, and the health restored per second is: 300.
Same as before.

This thing, unless it is upgraded from single-digit level nine upwards, some of it will not grow at all.

"Forget it, as long as it's not in your hands."

Lin Yan stretched his body, collected the materials that fell on the ground, and continued to move forward.

On the seventy-fourth floor, Lin Yan walked forward along the pale yellow path that seemed to be suspended in the air. The street lamps on both sides of him were constantly burning with faint jumping flames.

Although this thing can be touched, it cannot be destroyed. At the beginning, it was advertised as a completely open world, and the items in it can be destroyed at will...

What? Although the outside can be partially destroyed, it will be refreshed the next day. In the maze, nothing can be destroyed except the monsters.

Bah, the Gongjiang spirit of life is really just this kind of false propaganda.

Damn, Kayaba Akihiko is an idiot.

After cursing, he felt a little better. There was a group of beast infantry waiting to be activated in front of him. After he took the initiative to walk into their sight, he found that from another direction, there was actually a pair of people who attracted the attention of some soldiers.

A quick look at the equipment of these people, especially the one in the lead, who looked like a poor Japanese samurai from the Edo period... He was wearing a fancy outfit, and his weapon was a samurai half-dachi, which looked of high quality.

"Isn't this that guy, Klein... No, Klein!" Lin Yan suddenly realized that the name of the guild was Fenglinhuoshan, which was the essence of the Japanese Yakuza organization.

"Oh?"

Clay also spotted Lin Yan at this time. He was wearing a furry, close-fitting lightweight armor and a transparent, brittle-looking one-handed sword, but he was not wearing a shield...

Could it be that the person who can come to a place like this alone is an expert?

Klein didn't talk to Lin Yan. When he called his men, he emphasized that they should not accidentally injure friendly units.

Obviously, the person being reminded was Lin Yan.

There were more people over there, and Lin Yan only got three monsters.

Although they are small monsters, they are as difficult to deal with as the bosses on the lower floors. Although they don't have big moves, they often mix in some area attacks. Area attacks have signs. As long as they spit out snake-like tongues, you have to find a way to jump away or go around them for the next move.

After mastering this technique, Lin Yan was able to quickly move around among the three monsters.

Whether it was a horizontal slash, a downward chop, a sharp claw, or a horizontal square slash, the dragon crystal sword was done with ease, which made Klein, who was still hesitating whether to go up and lend a hand, give up the idea with some emotion.

If he were in a different position and fought three monsters alone, he would not be able to do better than Lin Yan.

Maybe it will make things even more chaotic.

After controlling the rhythm well in the early stage and raising the hatred to the maximum to make sure the three monsters would not be hit and escape, Lin Yan's speed suddenly became inhumane.

The scimitar behind him slashed across with a roar and the sound of wind. Lin Yan squatted down and went around to the back, his figure almost turning into an afterimage.

One-handed sword skills: upper slash, continuous slash!

In the afterimage, it seemed that Lin Yan had only swung his sword once, but in this shadow, he had swung three swords! The damage from the three swords exploded at the same point. After the first sword had a defense-breaking effect, the remaining two swords caused real damage.

In an instant, the monster, with only two-thirds of its health left, died and turned into light particles and disappeared. Lin Yan's figure passed through the flying light particles, and the almost transparent dragon crystal sword once again emitted a brilliant light.

One-handed sword skill: vertical four-way slash!

As a veteran player, a member of the strategy group Frontier Guild, and a fan of swords and knives in Japanese games, Klein believed that he had some vision. He had also seen all kinds of players who could use the system's inherent character skills in a variety of ways in this game with a high degree of freedom.

However, he had never seen a sword that could slash in four directions vertically. The four sword lights fell like one sword light split into four parts.

Fast, there is no other way, only one word, extreme fast.

It was so fast that afterimages appeared on his hands, and even the images displayed by the game system could not withstand such a speed.

After the vertical four-way slash, there was another sharp claw, which directly chopped the monster on the left with half of its health left into a serious damage. However, this tall and thin young man wearing close-fitting light armor seemed to have swung out two slashes at the same time. While the monster on the left was attacked by the sharp claw, the monster on the right also suffered wounds and knockback effects from being hit by the stab.

This is……

Sonic impact!
"Hey, boss!"

I heard my younger brother shouting from behind: "Heading towards you!"

When Klein heard his younger brother's voice, the flash of a knife and a strong wind came whistling.

Klein had no time to react. After raising his shield to withstand a brutal collision, he flew backwards and his health bar was instantly reduced to one-tenth.

"Such high damage?"

He was a little surprised. If he hadn't used a shield, his health would probably have been depleted by half.

If the damage of the monsters is so high, and the maze exploration progress is already as high as 89%, then you can imagine how abnormal the damage of the BOSS will be.

"It seems that it will be difficult to avoid casualties in the next attack on the BOSS."

Klein felt a little heavy-hearted as he concentrated on dealing with the monsters.

With the cooperation of his teammates, he quickly defeated the monsters, but when he looked back, he found that Lin Yan had already chopped the two monsters into light particles. Amid the flying light points, he looked like a savior hero.

"Hey, young man, there may be more and more monsters ahead. Do you want to team up with us temporarily?"

Klein took the initiative to greet Lin Yan.

When he saw a master, he always wanted to strike up a conversation. This was due to his personality, and the fact that he was able to gather such a group of loyal and powerful subordinates was closely related to his natural enthusiasm and unrestrainedness in this aspect.

However, this is only a small team of a dozen people. If it is a bigger business, I am afraid that this kind of leadership method that is similar to the brotherhood of the underworld and gathers people's hearts cannot be used.

"No need." Lin Yan shook his head.

The seventy-fourth floor, I always feel that this floor is a little familiar.

However, it has been too long, and he has forgotten many of the plots of Sword Art Online. He only knows that after a BOSS subjugation battle, Kirito discovered the true identity of Kayaba Akihiko, and finally started a duel. In the book... After Asuna blocked the knife, she and Kayaba Akihiko died together.

After winning, most people came out, but a small number of people were still imprisoned in another game. What was the name of that character...

He is a very ugly and wretched guy, who was later broken down by Kirito.

I can’t remember what it was called, but after taking a look at my level, I saw that the experience pool was already one-third full.

With this monster-killing efficiency, if nothing unexpected happens, you can reach the next level in less than two days.

The average level of the strategy group is about level 65, and the top masters are about level 70. Now if Lin Yan wants to fully utilize the bug-like speed advantage, the best way is to kill a large number of monsters.

“No need.” Lin Yan shook his head to refuse: “I still prefer to be alone. There are two forks in the road ahead. I will take the right one and you can take the left one.”

Klein was stunned for a moment, but still nodded with a smile:

"Okay, since this brother likes to walk alone, we won't disturb him." In fact, he originally wanted to go to the right to have a look, but since Lin Yan wanted to go to the right, then let him go.

There is no difference between left and right.

"Boss, what's the situation with that guy? Is he very powerful?"

"He's quite impressive, Boss. How do you think he compares to your friend?"

“Well, I don’t know. Maybe my friend is more capable…” Klein actually pinched his chin and thought for a while: “He is a guy who can create miracles!”

……

Lin Yan heard their discussions behind him, but he didn't care. After he walked to the front, seven or eight monsters were immediately activated and locked their sights on Lin Yan. While Lin Yan was looking at the identical monsters, the dragon crystal sword in his right hand once again lit up with the light of charging.
