All Realms: Sharing Talents Starting from Chicken Island

"Who is this……"

Kirito nudged Klein beside him and looked at Lin Yan with some curiosity.

I activated my reconnaissance skill immediately, but I couldn't figure out his level.

It's obvious that their level isn't much lower than mine.

“A lone player, I’ve only met him once.”

Klein glanced at Lin Yan and said, "He's a very strong expert, and his sword speed is very fast."

Seeing that they were talking about him, Lin Yan was happy to see it happen and stepped forward to say:

"My name is Lin Yan, a solo player."

"I think I've seen you in the strategy guide group before."

Behind her, Asuna suddenly interjected:

"You participated in the strategy for the 53rd floor, right?"

The fifty-third floor... In Lin Yan's memory, it seemed to be a huge tiger demon, whose overwhelming and strange area-of-effect attacks almost left him there.

“I have participated.” Lin Yan nodded: “It’s an honor that Asuna, the vice-commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath, would remember such a nobody as me.”

After exchanging polite smiles, the two exchanged information about the maze and, upon synchronizing, discovered that they were about 1% of the way through and were on a side path leading to the boss room. However, according to Kirito, he had glimpsed that path from afar and noticed a large number of monsters, making it potentially dangerous for someone traveling alone.

"It's okay, I'll get away in time if anything happens."

It would take the group of exhausted players some time to get to the BOSS's room, which would be enough time for him to explore the remaining one percent.

After Lin Yan continued exploring ahead, Kirito and Klein remained for quite some time, with Asuna naturally joining in the conversation. It was clear to anyone that the two harbored mutual affection.

Klein, this middle-aged man, was constantly creating topics and stirring up trouble between the two.

But soon, the sound of clashing swords reached their ears from ahead.

"Such fast sword speed!"

The sound of swords clashing is usually just a crisp sound, and even in continuous strikes, there will be noticeable pauses between the sounds.

The sound they heard was clearly a crisp crack, but the echo was drawn out. If they listened carefully, they could hear at least three overlapping slashes...

“That person has probably been keeping a low profile all along.” Asuna had seen him not only in the BOSS battle on the 53rd floor, but if she thought about it carefully, Lin Yan’s figure had appeared many times in the BOSS strategy meeting. Although he was not very powerful and not a player with any special abilities, he was still a backbone of the strategy team.

"As expected, there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

Kirito glanced at his Dual Wielding skill in his skill bar and wondered if this high-speed swordsmanship was also a special skill.

After all, he wasn't the only one who had awakened a special skill.

Besides dual-wielding, there is also the Holy Sword of Heathcliff, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Blood Oath.

If we really have to say, the Holy Sword skill is the real bug, as it's good at both offense and defense.

As the group was discussing this, they suddenly heard screams coming from afar.

Judging from the direction of the sound, it was coming from the direction that the group of players from the Aincrad rescue force had just been heading.

"They went to the boss's room?"

Kirito's eyes widened. He thought these people were just going to take a look, but he never expected them to be so stupid as to go to their deaths in the BOSS's room!

After hearing the screams, the group exchanged glances and rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

I simply cannot stand by and watch someone die!

Meanwhile, Lin Yan was still fighting against the three fast-moving monsters in front of him.

The monsters guarding the treasure chest were stronger than the regular monsters, but they still didn't cause much trouble under Lin Yan's attacks.

Even when surrounded by enemies from all sides, Lin Yan can easily dodge them with his bug-like speed.

Just like an adult beating up a child, if these monsters have obvious weaknesses, or weak areas that can be severely injured in one blow, killing these monsters won't even take a minute.

"Screams..."

Finally, after severing the monster's neck, amidst the scattering of light particles, Lin Yan checked the durability of his weapon.

It has decreased, but it is still 70 percent.

Weapon collisions cause the most damage to durability, followed by striking a shield.

Cutting into a monster's flesh causes negligible damage to its durability.

"Repairing weapons costs money too..." Lin Yan sighed, then picked up the Gem Sword, ready to admire the famous scene of Kirito slaying the Blue-Eyes Demon with his dual-wielding style.

When Lin Yan finally jogged to the BOSS's room, he was shocked to see Klein's incredulous gaze, and Asuna covering her mouth and collapsing to her knees in despair...

This is……

A bad feeling flashed through Lin Yan's mind, and he quickly quickened his pace.

Did I see a dead body? Damn, could something have happened to Grandpa Kirito?!

The dual-wielding emerald green sword light, the final strike of the Starburst Stream Slash, shattered the Blue-Eyes Demon's health into fragments with each high-burst, high-attack-speed Starburst Stream Slash.

With only one health bar remaining, the demon leaped backward, its greatsword slashing down and killing the struggling Aincrad rescue team player on the ground.

In an instant, the Blue-Eyed Demon, which had only one bar of health left, recovered to three bars of health.

After the Starburst Stream Slash, Kirito's health was already so low that it was in a precarious situation.

Asuna, trembling, finally managed to stand up, her rapier gleaming with light, and charged towards the boss's room...

"Asuna!" Kirito saw Asuna coming and tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, and a huge sword pierced through my clothes, carrying pink specks of light that symbolized blood, and gradually floated upwards.

Even if you're the protagonist, even with the blessing of idealistic power, a game system is still a game system, and no one can guarantee they won't die.

Lin Yan, who was more than ten meters away and saw this scene from afar, stopped and mentally patched up his own thoughts once again.

No one is invincible. Even if he has a system, isn't Kirito still the protagonist?

Even the main character can die if they're not careful!

This is just a game, but it can really be deadly...

"hateful……"

Asuna and Kirito were in a team, and she watched helplessly as Kirito's health bar went from a tiny red dot to disappearing completely, until even the health bar frame vanished before her eyes.

Tears finally welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

Lin Yan was originally hoping for some kind of miracle. After all, as the protagonist, it was only natural for him to create miracles.

But the miracle he had hoped for did not happen. In the end, Kirito could only stretch out his hand in reluctance, and his figure turned into particles of light and slowly dissipated.

It was no different from when any other player died.

Chapter 306 What to do after the protagonist dies

"Kirito!"

Asuna watched as another health bar appeared on the Blue-Eyes Demon, making it three bars in total.

Furthermore, this monster isn't one that can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. It's a Snow Lotus that restores a full health bar for every player it kills. In this situation, the best option is to use skilled players to roam and wear it down.

"Kirito!"

Klein watched his friend die before his eyes, his eyes wide with disbelief, his whole body trembling.

What happened? What on earth happened?!

When I first met Kirito in the game, he was the one who taught me how to charge up and how to attack.

Later, he revealed his identity as a closed beta tester and took on the hatred that ordinary players harbored towards closed beta testers.

Then, as well, he challenged the Christmas reindeer all by himself, and the friendship between them continued to grow stronger, supporting each other all the way to where they are today.

But, but...

"Damn it!!!"

Klein, his eyes blazing with fury, finally couldn't resist and rushed into the BOSS's room.

Several people reached out to grab him from behind, but they were a step too late.

The Blue-Eyed Demon watched Asuna charge into the battlefield, her rapier gleaming with dazzling light.

Sonic Thrust!

Oh no! If Kirito dies at the hands of the Blue-Eyes Demon, how will we ever get through the game?

Lin Yan was troubled by the current situation, but since Kirito had already died, he had to protect Asuna no matter what.

She is the vice-commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath, and her combat strength is second only to Kirito in his normal state.

Now that Kirito is dead, although it may be impossible to trigger the shortcut to defeat Heathcliff, you can still level up and climb the tower little by little.

Anyway, other people's bodies will be consumed, but if your own body is shared with other people, you're strong enough to kill a cow with a flick of your little finger.

The Blue-Eyes Demon's blade slashed out in a fan-shaped aura, which Asuna could barely parry. After being knocked back, Asuna did not choose to maneuver or fight back. Instead, she used the Blue-Eyes Demon's strength to her advantage and, taking advantage of the critical moment when the old power of the Blue-Eyes Demon had been exhausted and the new power had not yet been generated, she thrust her sword with a flash!
