Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The poor boar boss, with its health reduced to 30%, still relentlessly chased after Argo, but Argo strolled around leisurely, and the boar couldn't even touch its body.

"...Yes...I will..."

"Hey hey hey, did I just hear something incredible? Girl, what did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything!"

Asuna finally regained her composure, a slight blush on her face, and stood up, intently watching Argo's movements.

"Oh, it's back to normal! That's good. Young lady, it's good that you have the courage to rush into the leveling area, but you can't rely on courage to play games, especially this game. People can die in this game."

"So, watch carefully! The key to activating a sword skill is to think about activating it in your mind. The highest level players can do it at will. I've seen a black-clad player and a playboy player who are about at that level. But for now, you can do some auxiliary sword-holding postures. The sword skills also have instructions. Use the postures to assist in activating the sword skill, and then completely leave the rest to the system."

"Like this...!"

Argo evaded the boar's pursuit and struck an exaggerated sword-wielding pose reminiscent of Xi Shi, the legendary swordswoman. However, she no longer needed the pose; it was merely for show.

"Shh-"

The wild boar's health has dropped to 20%.

Asuna watched intently, and when she saw Argo's posture, her eyes lit up. Wasn't that the posture she used when learning rapier techniques? Although Asuna learned fencing only to exercise and familiarize herself with the weapon, her basic skills were still quite solid.

"That's right, that's the position..."

Argo wanted to give Asuna some pointers, but when he saw Asuna standing with her sword in hand, he was stunned.

This was the most standard sword-wielding stance. In an instant, Asuna's youthful innocence vanished, and she seemed to have become a true swordsman. The tip of her sword pointed forward; her mind, sword, and body were all ready, poised to unleash a skill at any moment.

His chestnut hair swayed in the night, and the beautiful scenery almost made Argo hold his breath.

"Is that so? And then what?"

"Haha, that's great!"

Argo dodged the boar's attack and retaliated, reducing the boar's health to 10%. She was speechless, absolutely refusing to admit that she was intimidated by the boar's perfect stance.

This pretty girl, she probably never learned fencing in real life, right?

"I've learned fencing, but what should I do next? Imagine the sword techniques?"

Argo grinned. Sure enough, another rich girl. But it wasn't hard to explain; after all, NERvGears have the same appeal to young people.

Wow, rich people! That's great!

"Watch me demonstrate, then imagine yourself fencing and striking out with a sword, able to deliver this kind of attack."

Argo's final strike—this strike would finish off the boar's last bit of health.

"Shh!"

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Argo's attack triggered the minimum damage threshold, leaving the boar boss with only a sliver of health.

"Ah, you stubborn fool, why don't you just die already? Asuna, did you see that clearly? I'll demonstrate again..."

Argo looked at Asuna, whose smile froze.

Asuna's gaze was fixed on the low-health boar boss.

Lower your waist, press forward, step forward, and start fencing!

The fluid and beautiful movement instantly unleashed dazzling sword skills, propelling Asuna forward like a whirlwind...

...Charging towards the low-health boar boss!

"Oh, no!"

Argo let out a scream, tears streaming down her face. She reached out and flew towards the boar boss, who was about to die at Asuna's hands, as if she wanted to save the boar boss from Asuna's clutches.

The boar boss looked at Argo with its crimson eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of emotion in its eyes, as if to say, "I have to admit, at this moment, you are stronger!"

"I have no regrets about dying in this battle as the Boss!"

However, it didn't know that Argo only wanted to kill it with his own hands.

Asuna was confused, but her sword skills were now assisted by the system, and she had no ability to control them independently. She could only let the tip of her sword pierce the back of the boar boss.

"boom!"

The wild boar boss turned into fragments and vanished with a bang, leaving only two people posing under the moonlight: one standing with a sword in hand, and the other with both hands outstretched, but unfortunately, their hands were empty.

"Excuse me, did I do something wrong?"

"Hehe...hehe...hehe..."

A terrifying laugh echoed across the empty plains. Asuna, seeing the black lines behind Argo, couldn't help but back away, forcing a smile as she asked, "What's going on?!"

"What's wrong? I'll kill you!"

Asuna screamed as Argo charged at her unarmed!

After Argo's explanation, Asuna finally understood the significance of delivering the final blow to kill the boss. In SAO, the special drops from bosses are determined by the final hit.

After Asuna understood, she repeatedly apologized to Argo. Argo could only accept Asuna's apology with a wry smile, since it was already a fait accompli.

Most importantly, during the conversation, Argo became certain that Asuna knew nothing. The only thing Argo could blame Asuna for was that she was too talented and unleashed her sword skills in one go, disrupting his plan to show off.

It sounds like she's being well-behaved...

"Alright, alright, since it's already happened, consider it that I saved you for free, so you owe me a favor. Hurry up and see what the reward is."

"Ok."

Asuna checked the panel and said, "100 Cole, 200 experience points, Moonlight Wild Boar meat..."

As Asuna's words filled Argo with a sense of utter despair. Although it wasn't a boss lord, but just a world boss, the first kill reward was still quite generous.

100 Cole is enough for an average player to last a month, and 200 experience points directly leveled up Asuna. If I remember correctly, Moonlight Wild Boar meat is a high-quality ingredient, and sending it to the butcher is enough to exchange for another 100 Cole.

Argo didn't want to hear any more of the information Asuna revealed later; it was too painful...

"Finally, there's this one."

Asuna took a sword out of her inventory.

Western sword.

The pure white blade gleamed under the moonlight, and the crescent-shaped glass hilt was crystal clear, as if it could hold the entire moon within it.

"What a nice view……"

Argo's mouth dropped open, her eyes filled with circles, and she lunged forward, collapsing to the ground, sprawling.

"Argo, Argo, what's wrong with you!"

The two had already exchanged names. Argo struggled to his feet and said, "Asuna, let me see your attributes."

"Oh, okay, is that how it works?"

Silent Moonlight, Rapier, LV2, Excellent Grade, Special Effect: Accuracy Acceleration, Unique.

"How about this attribute?"

Argo looked at the LV2 excellent weapon, whose stats were half again as high as his own LV3 fine weapon, and his face turned pale.

"Legend has it that when this wild boar is killed for the first time, it will drop a unique, excellent weapon that matches the user's attributes. This is an excellent-level weapon, and it generally only has a chance to drop starting from the third level."

"So...that means it's good...ah!"

Argo pressed down on Asuna's shoulders with both hands and said firmly, "I hate you!"

"How about I give you the sword? You saved my life..."

"No way!"

Argo stood up with a smile, seemingly having regained his cheerfulness, and said, "To be honest, I also recently experienced a life-or-death crisis, ah, it was terrifying. So, if you have the ability to save people, you should definitely do it, that's only natural. As for this sword, I use a dagger, but I might switch to a grappling hook in the future."

Argo stroked the dagger, a hint of sadness on his face, and said, "Besides, this dagger is a special dagger for rats, it's my personal weapon! I'll continue to use it from now on. As for the rapier and such, let's leave it to Asuna, the professional."

"Alright, stand up. Now that you're out, I'll go with you to find your boyfriend."

As he spoke, Argo pulled Asuna to her feet. Asuna's chestnut hair swayed in the moonlight, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"What beautiful hair! Your hair...it's...chestnut brown?"

"Ah, yes."

Asuna, without suspicion, answered immediately.

"...The person you're looking for...could it be Mo Mo?"

Asuna's eyes lit up immediately. She grabbed Argo's hand and said, "Do you know Momo? Do you know where he is? Is he alright? Is he injured? Please take me to him!"

Seeing the excitement and joy on Asuna's face, Argo was certain that the girl in front of him was the one Momo had been longing for.

Tears welled up in Argo's eyes. He could no longer bear the suffering he had endured that night and ran away in tears!

"I hate you, I hate both of you!"

041 It feels like a dream.

"Argo!"

Asuna cried out anxiously, but by the time she stood up, Argo had already run far away.

A feeling of grievance welled up inside Asuna. She genuinely didn't know what she had done wrong to anger Argo. If it was truly her fault, she was willing to correct it no matter what, but Argo didn't seem prepared to give her that chance.

"Argo..."

Just then, Argo, who had run more than ten meters, suddenly turned around and burst into laughter.

"Hey, Asuna, you're not really scared, are you?!"

Asuna gaped, speechless. What was going on here?!

"Idiot, although there are some reasons, how could I blame my friend like this! It's all Mo Mo's fault, it's all his fault!"

Argo roared, laughing and shouting at the moon, then pointed at Asuna and said, "So, Asuna, teach that guy behind you a lesson for me!"

Asuna's heart stopped for a moment, and the words "behind" spoken by Argo echoed in her ears.

"...Seriously, that expression of yours makes it even harder for me to hate you. The guy likes the girl and silently protects her, while the girl foolishly leaves the city for him, willing to risk her life to find him... Did you two step out of some soap opera...?"

Argo smiled as he watched Asuna turn around, muttering to himself, but a glint of light flickered in his eyes.

"Hey, don't forget, teach him a lesson, teach your boyfriend a lesson, or he'll definitely turn into a playboy!"
