Lin Yan nodded.

This rekindled hope in Asuna's somewhat gloomy eyes. Her bright eyes were fixed on Lin Yan, and then she asked excitedly.

"Really? Even a little information would be helpful for our current situation... What do you know?"

"The leader of this level is called the Void Colossus, Foxes."

Lin Yan said.

"The Void Colossus, Foxes?" Asuna murmured to herself, a colossal stone giant appearing in her mind.

“ALS is acting so recklessly, they will definitely… they’re all in the leader’s room… it will be a massacre.”

Asuna's eyes were filled with terror.

She seemed to already see corpses strewn everywhere.

“They have never had any experience as leaders.”

Boss missions are a series of tasks set up on each floor related to the floor's boss. By progressing through these missions, you will receive hints about the boss's type, abilities, and weaknesses.

"The most important point is..."

Lin Yan said.

Asuna also became nervous, staring intently at Lin Yan, her gaze never leaving him for a moment.

I was even a little nervous.

"The entire fifth-floor BOSS room is the body of this BOSS."

Lin Yan's words struck Asuna like a thunderbolt. It was the first time she had ever heard of a boss like this, and her face turned deathly pale.

The entire room is filled with the BOSS's body, so how should we attack it?

Wouldn't that make us invincible!

Even Lin Yan probably wouldn't know how to defeat the BOSS.

"what should we do?"

Asuna stared nervously at Lin Yan, her body trembling slightly. She once again instinctively relied on him. Lin Yan, however, remained calm, as if he were discussing something trivial.

"This BOSS has a roar that causes debuffs such as decreased visual brightness, decreased hearing, decreased balance, and gradual HP loss."

Lin Yan continued speaking.

Asuna was completely engrossed in listening.

She realized that defeating the boss on this floor might be very difficult, and that ALS was indeed a death sentence.

"In addition, blue lines will appear in the BOSS room. When players touch the blue lines, hands hidden under the floor and feet hidden in the ceiling will attack the players. When the BOSS's health reaches the sixth bar, the BOSS will transform into a humanoid stone giant and separate from the ceiling."

Lin Yan rattled off all the information in one breath.

Asuna listened, speechless, almost unable to believe it. If she had heard this from someone else, Asuna would have doubted its veracity.

but--

Lin Yan would never lie to her.

Asuna's expression turned serious. "Besides DKB, was there anyone else who planned tonight's countdown party?"

"Besides DKB members like Shivata, there should also be ALS members assisting."

Lin Yan smiled slightly and said.

He didn't really care about the so-called two major guilds; one was just a guild of clowns shouting "unfairness," and the other was a guild organized by reckless and impulsive individuals. In the end, their schemes were nothing more than petty squabbles.

"Perhaps we could try to gather information from within?"

Asuna seemed quite concerned about this incident, while Lin Yan was merely passing the time when he was bored.

"That makes sense. Generally speaking, a guild, especially a large one, has factions. This plan might have been secretly orchestrated by one group while others were unaware. I didn't expect Asuna to come up with such a strategy."

In Lin Yan's view, although Asuna has made some breakthroughs.

but--

Despite receiving an elite education from a young age, Asuna sometimes finds herself unable to break free from her habitual thought patterns and becomes bound by them.

"If the people behind ALS are hostile towards us, then this incident might become even more serious..."

Asuna said with some hesitation.

Her expression was grave.

After all, for Asuna, this world was undoubtedly the real world, and death was real death. Lin Yan, on the other hand, was ultimately an outsider.

"We cannot underestimate those who incite PK battles; they seem to have infiltrated important departments of the guild."

Asuna analyzed as she spoke.

In fact, Asuna could have easily kept herself out of trouble.

However, that horrific, hellish scene kept replaying in Asuna's mind. Those controlled warriors were also vibrant, living beings. Their terrified screams were so desperate.

His body was torn apart.

Crush.

Asuna was lucky; she met Lin Yan during that initial period of confusion. But Asuna knew clearly that in this world… this cruel world, SAO only had one Lin Yan, and not everyone was so lucky.

Moreover, Asuna had made up her mind.

"Even if some people think I'm a pushover, I will still be myself. If I want to do something, I will definitely do it."

Asuna said.

She didn't want to drift along in this cruel world and end up becoming the kind of person she hated.

"Will you stay with me?"

Asuna asked hesitantly, "However, I have indeed caused you a lot of trouble, even if you don't help me this time..."

"I will be with you."

Asuna stared at Lin Yan in astonishment at his words, her clear eyes glistening with tears of emotion, while Lin Yan gently patted Asuna's head.

"Let's pack up and head to Mananarena Village. Let's attack directly from the front."

Mananarena is a dusty village built on the ruins of an ancient mine. Houses line the sloping surface of a large, mortar-shaped sinkhole, and at the bottom of the underground labyrinth of tunnels lies a dark entrance. Inside, one can find abundant mineral and fossil materials, as well as relics and items.

Upon arriving at Mananarena Village, Asuna immediately noticed someone. "That's...."

“That’s Mr. Lind…”

Asuna pointed to one of them and said.

The man with long blue hair tied up, holding a beer mug and laughing heartily was undoubtedly Lind, the guild leader of DKB.

Is there something to be happy about?

Asuna asked, in her memory Lind had always been an enigmatic man with a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression.

Lin Yan remained silent.

He wasn't interested in DKB's guild leader, Lind, and continued searching. His gaze eventually settled on a tall, thin man.

He is none other than Shivata, a member of DKB.

Simply open the window discreetly, enter Shivata in the recipient field, and you can send the message.

"Just as I expected."

Asuna realized what was happening at that moment and had to admire Lin Yan's quick thinking. He was able to come up with such a brilliant plan at such a critical time.

That was Sivata, and his eyes widened slightly.

He then quickly glanced around, seemingly wary of someone. After confirming there were no suspicious individuals, he secretly peered out the window.

"come over."

Lin Yan tugged at Asuna, and the two of them hid in the shadows of the building, unnoticed by Shivata.

After confirming the window, Sivatar strode towards the door, passing Asuna and Lin Yan without realizing that his every move had been noticed. He moved with lightning speed, quickly exiting the building.

I was suspicious the whole way.

They were very careful with their gaze.

Sneaky.

Generally speaking, people who are afraid of being known by others are either wicked or thieves, so Shivata must be a problematic person.

That much is certain.

After walking along the winding slope for a while, Siwata's figure disappeared behind a door hidden in a dark corner.

"Follow."

"Lin Yan said, and Asuna followed without hesitation, they also walked through the door. Asuna's face was full of doubt; what exactly was the purpose of these people? This was a question that Asuna had been pondering for a long time.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

A voice broke the silence.

Sivata abruptly stopped, then frowned, appearing incredibly cunning. Asuna, besides being curious about these people's motives, was also very curious about what message Lin Yan had sent to Sivata.

"curious?"

Lin Yan seemed to see right through Asuna's thoughts.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just getting straight to the point—I want to find out about the ALS guild members who planned the countdown party."

"Is that all?"

Asuna even had some doubts. Judging from Sivata's actions, things didn't seem so simple. She stared at Lin Yan with suspicion and asked.

Sivata suddenly looked in that direction, as if he had noticed something amiss.

Lin Yan stepped out of the shadows. In fact, for Lin Yan, there was no one in SAO who could threaten his life. All he had to do was play a game, a game of wits and courage against Kayaba Akihiko.

Sivata gave a sly smile, his eyes fixed on Lin Yan.

Actually, I was a little flustered inside.

"What exactly is your purpose in contacting me?"

"So you said you were gathering intelligence, but you actually came prepared, didn't you?"

"Islander said warily, his eyes fixed on the two people in front of him. Lin Yan and Asuna were both hidden under black cloaks, so Iislander couldn't see them at all... However, the naturally perceptive Iislander sensed an ominous premonition.

Especially that tall, uninvited guest.

He exuded a powerful aura.

Yes……

Horrible.

fear?

No.

It is reverence.

This was the first time such emotions had arisen. Siwata watched the two of them warily, outwardly remaining calm and even showing some disdain.

In reality, he was already in a state of panic.

"You all probably already know, right? About me and that person..."

"That person? What do you think? Do I know about you and that person, or do I not know about you and that person?"

Lin Yan smiled gently.
