Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"I support the heroes in black."

"Me too."

"I support the handsome young man."

……

Lin Yan didn't seem to care about the comments, and Asuna was somewhat amused and exasperated. They had no idea that the black-clad hero and the young man before them were the same person. If they had known, it would surely have caused another commotion and considerable chaos, wouldn't it?

And another person.

Kradir squatted on the ground dejectedly, his body trembling despite wearing the exaggerated uniform of the 'Knights of the Blood Oath'.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Lin Yan smiled dismissively.

Cladier said in a hoarse voice, "I-Resign." This actually meant "surrender."

A line of prompts appears.

The victor is Lin Yan.

However, this notification can only be seen by the winner, which is probably for the sake of personal privacy.

"What are you all watching? You're all a bunch of bored people."

"Get out of the way!" Kradir roared angrily at the crowd of onlookers.

Simultaneously.

He then looked at Lin Yan.

"Don't get too cocky. I will never give up. What I, Kladier, want to do, I will do. Don't think I'm a pushover. You will pay the price."

Kradir's eyes were filled with hatred.

"Kladier, right?"

Asuna said with a cold expression.

"No matter what methods you use, I will never join the 'Knights of the Blood Oath'. Besides, if you cause trouble for him, you are causing trouble for me. I, Asuna, will stand with him through thick and thin."

After saying that, Asuna felt that it was somewhat inappropriate.

This is practically no different from a confession of love.

Some astute individuals had already noticed the signs, and some even whistled, "Wow, this guy is really lucky."

"That's enviable."

"Showing affection in creative ways."

"..."

Kradir glanced at Lin Yan and felt that hunter's urge on him again. He shuddered in fright, then grabbed the teleportation crystal and ran away like a defeated dog with its tail between its legs.

"Transfer...Gransam".

It was enveloped in blue light, and then disappeared.

The people in the square gradually dispersed.

Asuna looked at Lin Yan with some guilt. She hadn't expected this to happen; she had thought it would be romantic, or at least quiet...

A date in name only. She didn't want anyone to ruin it, but apparently, that clueless Claudius almost ruined her beautiful day.

In the perilous SAO, everyone wants to get out of there as quickly as possible, even if it's just a second faster.

but--

For Asuna, every second she spent with Lin Yan was precious.

She wanted to memorize every single frame.

That is the most precious treasure.

I'm sorry to have dragged you into this mess.

"Small things."

Lin Yan didn't really care, and when Asuna looked at Lin Yan, her previously cold gaze softened and became gentle.

"Actually, it's understandable that the 'Knights of the Blood Oath' wants to recruit outstanding talents, after all, you are 'Asuna the Shining Star'."

Lin Yan smiled and said.

Asuna gave a helpless smile that said, "Don't laugh at me." She knew that the power the Knights of the Blood Oath desired most was still the "Men in Black."

However, Lin Yan is not someone who can be easily offended.

The worst-case scenario is that Lin Yan monopolizes the resources.

Even a rapidly growing guild like the 'Knights of the Blood Oath' would face unimaginable difficulties.

This is inevitable.

“You’ll stay here all the time, right? That way I won’t have to worry about being bothered by these boring guilds,” Asuna said.

Actually, there's a bit of ulterior motive involved.

What worries Asuna the most is not the threat to her life, nor the agonizing days, but the fear that she will one day be separated from Lin Yan.

When will that day be?

Asuna often falls into panic.

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded as always.

Bathed in sunlight, Asuna's long hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her appear exceptionally dashing. She walked ahead with a beaming smile and light steps.

"Then let's enjoy this wonderful time."

However, this leisurely time hadn't even lasted half a day before Asuna couldn't stay still any longer. She leaned closer and whispered, "Should we go check out the dungeon area?"

"it is good."

This time, it was Lin Yan's turn to smile helplessly.

Soon after, the two appeared on a forest path, which led into a maze-like area. Sunlight poured down, bathing the entire forest in its glow.

Patches of sunlight filtered through the shadows of the trees.

Occasionally, colorful butterflies flutter about.

It has a unique artistic conception.

With soft grass beneath your feet, it would be easy to believe that this was a pleasant outing.

"Are you really not planning to reveal your identity?"

"Keep it a secret?"

At this moment, Lin Yan was not wearing a hood, but Asuna looked at Lin Yan's unchanging black coat and asked.

"It will be kept secret for now."

Lin Yan smiled knowingly.

Asuna had no objection to this. After all, Lin Yan was the person she trusted most, and he must have considered it.

Asuna was wrong.

Lin Yan had absolutely no deeper considerations; his only goal was to have fun.

Lin Yan raised his right hand, and Asuna quickly quieted down as well.

His field of vision was beyond that of ordinary players; within his field of vision, several green arrows appeared and kept flashing.

That's the player's identifier.

“This kind of formation and number of people…” Lin Yan’s lips curled into a smile. He had probably already guessed which team belonged to.

Asuna fell off the map.

Set to visible mode.

The map shows that there are twelve players in total.

"so many people."

Asuna said in surprise.

In SAO, teams of five or six people are generally chosen for better teamwork. However, for teams of twelve or more, or even more than twenty people, there is only one person who can give overall command, and that person is—Lin Yan!

"The way they lined up was indeed a bit strange."

Asuna muttered to herself.

The cluster of lights in that small area was also moving rapidly, gradually getting closer. This kind of formation is quite common in maze areas, but it's rather strange in this area.

Generally speaking.

It's impossible for unfamiliar players to tell each other's level.

Hiding the other person's name is also to prevent random "PK" (player versus player) battles. Gradually, the footsteps grew closer and closer; they were quite rhythmic.

Asuna wasn't nervous at all, since Lin Yan was by her side.

A minute later, they came into view.

"They are all... all swordsmen."

Asuna muttered something to herself.

The arrows were all dressed in uniform bronze-colored metal armor and dark green battle suits. The large shields held by the six men in the first row were engraved with a clearly visible castle pattern.

The vanguard of six men wielded one-handed swords, while the rearguard of six men carried massive axe-spears.

The low-set helmets covered most of their faces.

There was a growing sense that everyone was being manipulated, and that feeling of unease intensified. However, Asuna seemed to have noticed something amiss as well.

This is the guild "Army" that later developed at the bottom.

That is, the King of Teeth's ALS.

ALS is not disliked by players; they are the most enthusiastic group to promote crime prevention and will attack any "orange player" they discover.

They were stripped of their equipment and imprisoned in the Black Iron Palace's cell block.

However, ordinary players will not approach the "army" casually.

At this moment, the "army" had already passed by Lin Yan and Asuna, and what was most amazing was that they acted as if they hadn't seen Lin Yan and Asuna at all.

I walked past it, ignoring it.

This should also be one of Lin Yan's skills.

"It seems those rumors weren't entirely unreliable after all," Lin Yan muttered.

"Rumors?"

Asuna, however, became somewhat interested.

"After failing to conquer ALS on the 25th floor, I'm no longer focusing on strategy..."

"They've started taking action again recently, but we'll have to wait and see what the specifics are."

"Is it really okay for them to force their way into this new maze area?"

Asuna recalled the reckless behavior of the ALS in the past; it wasn't surprising that they were capable of such things.

Especially after a period of time, the upper echelons of ALS will definitely become even more inflated with confidence.
