My avatar is the heroine

"Yes, anyway, that's settled then. Have a wonderful honeymoon."

After saying that, Kihara winked at Sachi, whose face was flushed, and then took Makise Kurisu's hand and left.

"Honeymoon?" Kirito paused, then suddenly realized, "No, that's not right, it's not like that?"

However, the two people had already disappeared.

……

Currently, there are no plot points in Sword Art Online up to the seventy-somethingth level that Su Lin should pay attention to.

He spent most of his time leveling up and enjoying himself.

For example, Her Majesty the Queen specially trained her cooking skills, intending to raise them to the same maximum level as Asuna's, and then make delicious dishes to enjoy with her other clones and her main body.

After several months of hard work and some other efforts, Mashiro-chan raised enough money to buy a villa worth over five million on the 61st floor of Selmubrook.

At other times, she would frequently visit a pink-haired girl named Liz to order weapons. Besides replacing her existing outdated equipment, she had Liz forge all sorts of hidden weapons suitable for movement, such as flying needles and daggers.

By focusing his movements on these hidden weapons, Kihara Tsurugi trained for a long time and eventually succeeded in imbuing all the launched weapons with attack skills.

As the system stated, these skills can be applied to the real world without relying on Rikka's abilities. This effectively gives all his clones basic combat capabilities.

……

October 2024, 74th floor, maze area.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. What was initially a small gap has become enormous over time. A huge divide has formed between top-tier and low-tier players, and the number of casualties caused by internal strife among some players during these two years is beyond imagination.

In fact, by now, nearly two-fifths of the players have been lost.

As initially predicted, Kirito personally transformed the Moonlit Black Cats into a top-tier team and joined the strategy group. Although Asuna frequently interacted with him, the heroine seemed to have shifted to Sachi... this seemingly more ordinary and less dazzling woman.

"It turns out that being pretty isn't always everything... Pshaw, actually Sachi is pretty too, just not as outstanding as Asuna."

On October 3rd, Kurohime arrived alone in the maze area with her weapon, preparing to solo the level's boss—the Blue-Eyed Demon.

At this moment, Kirito has obtained his second sword and has started the dual-wielding style. With his strength, he can defeat this BOSS solo if he goes all out, but the risk is too great, and he may lose his life if he is not careful.

When she arrived at the BOSS's gate, she unexpectedly heard a shrill scream.

The boss on this floor doesn't seem to be able to close doors, but it's incredibly powerful, holding off more than ten players all by itself.

"That's...the army?"

The Aincrad Liberation Army, the largest guild in the game, has been very active in the past year. Their title comes from their regular army-like management style, and I heard they even came up with something like military ranks.

From this perspective, Ya Wang is indeed capable; after all, others might not be able to achieve this.

At this moment, this group of guys wearing standard armor and wielding identical weapons were almost powerless against the BOSS. In just two minutes, two players were killed.

"Transferring the crystals won't work. Hold on, everyone, keep fighting! Don't fall! Our army doesn't know the word 'retreat'!"

The team leader looked exhausted, but even so, he still led his men to the front.

However, it turned out that they were in poor condition and not well prepared. Not to mention that they could not exert their combat power, even at their peak, it would be difficult for them to face this most difficult BOSS at present.

"Haven't I seen this guy in an anime before?"

Two years have passed, and the specific memories have become hazy, but Kuroto still intends to rescue the other party.

She gripped her weapon, a longsword that had been looted from a rare monster, and charged into the BOSS room.

"Don't come any closer, it's dangerous!" the team leader shouted as soon as he saw the girl rushing towards him.

"It's alright, I'm here to save you."

Draw the knife!

hum-

Skill activated.

Perhaps due to its overwhelming momentum, the aggro of the Blue-Eyed Demon was instantly drawn to Black Eyes. Then, in the eyes of these army players, the massive BOSS turned its head, roared to the sky, and charged towards Black Eyes.

clang!

As the swords clashed, the petite body leaped into the air using the momentum, twisting several times in mid-air with a motion that would make Newton crawl out of his coffin, and began to slash rapidly at the demon BOSS.

An astonishing power emanated from her petite hands. To their shock, they discovered that the BOSS was completely overwhelmed by the girl alone. After dozens of consecutive attacks, she finally killed the target with a single blow.

"It's over." The girl, who had just sheathed her long sword and landed lightly, smiled at the group. "This battle was quite difficult."

Indeed, since floor 70, the BOSS's algorithm has undergone a huge change, with the difficulty of each floor increasing significantly. Even Black Eye can no longer kill the target with just a few simple strikes as before.

The team leader stood up and saluted her: "Lieutenant Colonel Kobats, on behalf of the Aincrad Liberation Army, expresses his gratitude to you."

Chapter 327 Group Challenge?

"She's really strong."

The players who came together to fight the BOSS this time all had some thoughts about Kurohime. She is beautiful and looks weak, but she is very fierce when she fights. Isn't that the kind of cute contrast?

Honestly, everyone thought they were going to die, but then this girl suddenly appeared, like a savior, which had a tremendous impact on everyone present.

After expressing his gratitude, Kobats was at a loss for words. Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the BOSS's room.

"Have you finished the fight?"

Kirito, along with Sachi, Asuna, and a member of the Black Cat Gang, rushed in, only to find that the boss of this floor had already been defeated.

"They're from the military." Asuna recognized the people inside at a glance. Seeing the disheveled figures on the ground, and then glancing at the petite girl standing easily in the center, she felt a sense of awe and wonder.

"She...soloed the BOSS."

Although reluctant to admit it, Kobarts had no choice but to tell the truth.

"what?"

Even Kirito showed surprise.

The danger of soloing a boss is self-evident; even in a desperate situation, Kirito would never dare to fight a boss alone.

"I originally planned to take down this boss quietly by myself, but I found these guys as soon as I arrived. I really don't understand, they're so tired and they still rush to the front to die. Is this what they call being responsible to the other players? No, I think they're just trying to feel good about themselves. Even real soldiers wouldn't go to their deaths for no reason."

Kurohime severely criticized several people.

Before fighting the boss, Kobats would definitely refute the argument angrily and prove himself through his actions.

But now, not only have they lost, they've also witnessed this young girl crush the BOSS like a myth. The skills she used were the kind that anyone could learn, yet she relied entirely on her superb experience to completely outmaneuver the BOSS.

By the way, Kurohime's health was still full when the battle was over.

"Well then, that's all for now. If you guys need to farm bosses in the future, you can contact our God of Games guild. To be honest, we've been advertising for two years, and hardly anyone has invited us. I've been having to solo it every day. You guys should at least give us some face, right?"

Kobats: "..."

Kurohime slowly walked out of the hall, and just as she stepped out, Kirito suddenly called out from afar, "Wait a minute."

"What is it?" Kuroko asked, glancing back at him.

"At least half of the city's bosses were killed by your guild members, right? So many times, we've just finished a boss strategy meeting when we find out that the next level has opened."

"Yes, there's nothing strange about it."

"Then, please grant me a request." Kirito suddenly raised his sword.

"what?"

"Fight me."

Hei Tong was silent.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke up: "Fighting isn't out of the question. Coincidentally, I also think the Game God Guild can't continue like this. In five days, we'll be recruiting players on the first floor. You can go there as a challenger. According to the rules, you can enter as a fighter after defeating three support characters. You can just challenge me directly."

"Who is the highest-ranking member in your guild?" Kirito suddenly asked.

After all, SAO doesn't have any leaderboards, so nobody knows other players' information. The level advantage in this crappy game is extraordinary; you could say that gaining 10 levels can make a boss you couldn't beat before become an easy victory.

"X, the guild's number one combatant."

"X, is that the same person from last time?"

"Last time? Oh, you mean Kihara Tatsuki? Sorry, Kihara is ranked second in combat power, but fourth in rank."

"Fourth?"

Asuna, standing next to her, frowned.

……

Five days later, in the town where SAO begins.

The news that the God of Games had spent a fortune to get help from the massive guild of NPCs and the army spread throughout the player community.

From top to bottom, from the 75th floor to the 1st floor, almost all the players have come here.

Even if it takes a whole day to complete the strategy, everyone wants to know if this legendary guild is as powerful as they imagine.

central square.

"Gentlemen, the God of Games Guild is currently only recruiting combat members. If you want to join, just defeat three support characters in PvP."

The host invited by Su Lin, an unknown player with an exceptionally loud voice, used amplification equipment to amplify his voice throughout the venue.

In front of the huge arena, the adorable Mashiro-chan stood all alone.

With her long, light brown hair, slightly plump figure, and adorable face, this girl was clearly loved by everyone. If it weren't for SAO's special circumstances, everyone would have loved to become star-struck fans and cheer her on the spot.

Dang~

The short sword gently knocked a player aside, then flicked it to the side, sending the guy flying like a cannonball.

"come together."

"What... together? That's so disrespectful!" one of the boys shouted angrily.

"Don't be unconvinced. More than 40 people have already fallen today. The longest they lasted was only 30 moves against her. And that was the weakest one we've ever faced."

Seeing the Sora girl behind them and the seemingly even more formidable Makise Kurisu, everyone could only sigh deeply.

"Let me do it."

Unexpectedly, at a time when everyone was losing confidence, a very famous figure jumped onto the ring.

Tooth King.

"Hey, little brother, you've arrived."

"Pfft, haha... little brother?" In an instant, a burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

When Mashiro said such a thing, even some of the people who were close to Ya-o couldn't help but laugh.

If Kirito had said "little brother" like that, it would have definitely stirred up a lot of hatred, but right now, only Yai is angry.

"You said we could come at each other together?"

The first thing Ya Wang said after stepping into the ring was this.

"Yes, any number of people are fine. We have a three-person rotation system here, so you are allowed to add more people."

"Okay, but don't go back on your word."

With a wave of his hand, the King of Fang sent a horde of people rushing onto the arena.

Mashiro frowned slightly and puffed out her lips, looking a little aggrieved.

It looks like half the army has been brought up here; they're everywhere, it really looks like a war zone.

Moreover, Ya Wang showed no mercy, picking up his weapon and charging forward.

Dang~~

The first one, Fang Wang, was knocked away.

More people drew their knives, staging a spectacular charge. Meanwhile, Mashiro-chan, who had initially seemed easy to bully, suddenly unleashed astonishing power, single-handedly taking on hundreds of skilled players like a dancing sprite on the battlefield.

However, the number of enemies was ultimately too great.

As players were knocked away one by one, the number of defeated players quickly exceeded 50.

Mashiro ultimately could not withstand the blow and was knocked to the ground. With a weapon held to her neck, her defeat was declared.

"Why does it feel like the nature of it has changed?"

When the second Qiong Mei took the stage, Su Lin was speechless at the eager players.

This isn't even a one-on-one fight anymore.
