People who are interested in comics will never die in the Shura field

"So you don't recognize me? Then why are you in my bed? Fine, you can keep sleeping if you want, but could you let go of my hand? I need to do some quests and grind monsters," Kiriko said softly.

"Grinding monsters? A game world? Which game? Log Horizon, Overlord, Shangri-La Frontier, Rebirth Gate, or Sword Art Online?"

The girl rattled off a whole bunch of game names that Kirito had never even heard of.

However, she still obediently answered, "It's Sword Art Online. You don't even know what game you're playing?"

The girl rubbed her head: "Since it's Sword Art Online... I'd better go to sleep, I'm afraid of dying."

Kiriko covered her face, wondering what was wrong with this strange girl.

Chapter 513 (Main Text 513) When the Shield Hero arrives in Sword Art Online...

Kiriko was tidying up her equipment when she saw the girl get out of bed.

"Didn't you say you wanted to sleep a little longer?" Kiriko asked curiously.

"I wanted to sleep a little longer, but my character's stamina bar is full, so I can't sleep! I just can't sleep!" the girl complained.

Kiriko looked at the girl in front of her: "What's your name? Want to level up with me?"

The girl opened her system profile for the day.

Name: Yamabuki Hanajū (Maple/Shield Maiden)

Age: Unknown (15 years old)

Ability: An everlasting ahoge (as an ahoge, it naturally possesses the characteristic of being indestructible).

Weapon: Shield

Class trait: Your skill points can only be added to defense (defense trait will increase exponentially).

After being attacked, you will gain resistance to that type of attack (physical, fire, poison, frost, lightning, etc.).

You'll randomly gain skills when you level up (you might even get some incredibly powerful skills).

Only shields can be used as weapons (Shield Girl is the best!).

“Leveling up… isn’t out of the question. By the way, my name is Maple, what’s yours?” Yamabuki Hanajin smiled and extended her hand.

Kiriko found the girl to be quite cute and thought she probably wouldn't have any bad intentions, so she smiled and shook hands with her.

"My name is Kiriko..."

"Wait, what did you say your name was?" Yamabuki Hanajin looked at the girl in front of him in shock: "Tell me your full name right now, not a single word can be left out."

Kiriko was a little confused by the girl in front of her, and could only repeat her name: "Kiriko, right, my real name is Kiritani Kazuko..."

"Who is Kiritani Kazuto?" Yamabuki Hanajin immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Kirito? My name in the game used to be Kirito, but I don't use it anymore," Kiriko said softly.

"Hehehe! I see. I didn't expect to draw the ace today. Kirito, right? Let's become best friends. I'll take good care of you! By the way, before that, can I verify your identity?" Yamabuki Hanajin's ten fingers moved rhythmically like an octopus.

Kiriko couldn't help but hug her chest; the girl in front of her seemed a little strange.

"Miss Maple? Are you alright?" Kiriko didn't understand why a girl would give her that kind of look.

I wish I could eat myself up.

However, what Kiriko didn't know was that there were two insurmountable beauties in the world of anime.

One was named Itsuka Shiori, and the other was Kiriko.

Only men know what other men like best.

Southern Liang... that sounds too good to be true.

At this moment, Yamabuki Hanajin had already raised her shield.

Kiriko saw that the shield, which was almost the size of a person, was about to break down.

"Why choose such a big shield as a weapon? It must be very inconvenient to use, right?" Kirito couldn't help but say.

As a pure melee weapon game, the choice of melee weapons is also very diverse, including swords, spears, axes, sickles, and some players may also choose bows and arrows.

During the closed beta test, Kirito tested the combination of a one-handed shield and a longsword and found that the highest survival rate was achieved with this setup.

But how are you going to fight monsters with such a big shield?

Are you just going to wait for the monster to run into the shield and die?

"Don't worry, let me add a skill point first." Yamabuki Hanajin opened the game system, which had a very fancy skill point allocation option, but only one option was lit up on Yamabuki Hanajin's game interface, and that was defense.

Yamabuki Hanakami poured all her skill points into defense and discovered that she actually had another skill.

Shield Bash: Swing your shield and smash it down on whoever you don't like (deals minor damage and stuns the enemy).

After getting ready, the two of them went to the open field.

Near the starting village are level 1 monsters, wild boars, while next to the village are level 2 monsters, wild wolves.

"Don't be so nervous, I'll carry you. Just follow behind me and collect the kills!" Yamabuki Hanajin slowly walked towards the wolves, holding a large shield in her hand.

There was no way she could go fast, since all her skill points were allocated to defense.

Once inside the monster's attack range, the wolf lunged at you, baring its teeth and claws.

Yamabuki Hanajin swung her shield and smashed it directly onto the wolf's head.

The strength is just right, and it's not nerve-wracking.

The attack hit the wolf instantly, stunning it and leaving it stunned on the spot.

Kiriko went up and took the head with a single sword strike.

Because the two people are in a team, the experience points they gain will be scored.

"What skill was that you used just now? It had such a long stun effect!" Kirito looked at Yamabuki Hanajin with a look of surprise.

"I told you, just follow behind me and pick up the kills. I'm going in!" Yamabuki Hanajin swung her shield and smashed it with perfect accuracy, while Kirito followed behind, reaping the kills like crazy.

This is much faster than leveling up by yourself!

After taking down the fifth wolf, both players leveled up simultaneously.

"Ding! Level increased to level 2. Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Counterattack (Any damage dealt to you will be converted into 30% true damage and reflected back to the enemy. Note: This damage is before the damage is calculated.)"

As for any extra skill points, just put them all into defense.

Yamabuki Hanajin was still planning to continue hunting wolves when Kirito grabbed her hand and ran deeper into the grassland.

"We're both level 2, so we can go straight for level 3 world bosses. We might even get some good gear. After defeating the boss, we'll level up to 3 and then head straight to the level 4 monster area. That way, we can make the most of our time." Kirito had a very clear leveling strategy.

This is the difference between a pro gamer and an average player.

Yamabuki Hanajin was inexplicably dragged to the front of the area boss.

This is a level 3 wild wolf, only it's a size larger than a regular wild wolf.

"Be careful, it deals a lot of damage, you must dodge its attacks," Kirito whispered.

The wolf boss noticed that a player had entered its territory and immediately launched an attack.

"Shield Bash!" Yamabuki Hanajin swung her shield and smashed it directly into its head.

Forced dizziness is triggered.

Kiriko immediately began to attack, but after one round she realized that she hadn't even taken down a third of the boss's health bar.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a beginner elite monster.

Soon, the dizziness subsided, and the wolf boss grabbed Kirito with a backhand grab, then charged towards Yamabuki Hanajin.

"That attack deals a lot of damage! Dodge it quickly!" Kirito shouted.

The wolf boss bit down on Yamabuki Hanajin.

Then a number appeared above Yamabuki Hanajin's head.

-1.

Instead, the wolf boss itself lost a large chunk of health.

Now you know why tanks are getting anti-tank armor, right?

The damage reflected by the Thornmail is determined by the damage dealer.

For example: The Wild Wolf boss has an attack power of 10. When it hits Yamabuki Hanajin, it loses 3 HP.

However, Yamabuki Hanajin has a defense of 9, meaning she can take damage but only lose one point of health.

The wolf boss glanced at Yamabuki Hanajin, then suddenly turned and ran!

Wow, that's intense! We've encountered the boss!

Chapter 514 (Main Text 514) Because I'm afraid of pain, I maxed out my defense.

Kiriko had never seen a boss run away before.

No! The real issue now isn't that problem, but rather that there's a flaw in the game's mechanics.

They are only level 2. No matter how good their equipment is, how high their defense is, or how big their shield is, they can't possibly lose only one point of health from the boss.

This is clearly a bug.

"Things aren't that simple. Let me think about this carefully. Kayaba Akihiko must have poured a lot of effort into this game world, how could such a basic bug appear? What exactly happened?" Kirito's mind was a complete mess.

"Shield Bash." Yamabuki Hanajin slammed her shield into the wolf boss's head, stunning it once again.

"Don't just stand there and stand there, hurry up and finish off the damage," Yamabuki Hanajin said to Kirito, who was in a daze.

Kiriko reacted immediately, unleashing a smooth combo that left the Boss with only a sliver of health.

Suddenly I feel so sorry for this boss being bullied.

"Shield Bash!" Yamabuki Hanajin went straight up and delivered the final blow.

The boss was smashed to death.

Both of them leveled up to level 3 at the same time.

Yamabuki Hanajin casually added her skill points to defense.

"Ding! Current level 3. Gained skill: Physical Resistance. Physical attacks reduce damage to you by 30%."

"I got some gear!" Kirito exclaimed excitedly.

However, in the Sword Art Online world, the game mechanics dictate that only the person who lands the final blow on the boss gains ownership of the equipment.

Moreover, the equipment that was dropped wasn't Kirito's favorite weapon, but a ring.

Ring Name: Wolf's Temptation (Restores 1 health per second, increases defense by 2.)

Yamabuki Hanajin put the ring on her finger immediately; the little blood she had lost from being bitten earlier had quickly returned.

"Keep grinding! Charge!"

The two then went to the level 4 jungle monster area.

"Be careful from now on. After level 4, even small monsters will swarm you. It won't be like before, one-on-one. Be careful and don't get surrounded by small monsters." Kirito explained very carefully.

When I turned around, I found that Yamabuki Hanajin had attracted the aggro of a large number of monsters.

A large group of brown bears had surrounded Yamabuki Hanajin, biting and nibbling at it, and some even slapped it a couple of times.

"Am I particularly annoying? These cute little bears all pounced on me after they saw me." Yamabuki Hanajin watched her health points drop by drop, and then drop by drop they returned.

Kiriko's brain was trembling.

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right! Even with a shield for protection, a level 3 character surrounded by a bunch of level 4 monsters should only last a few seconds at most. But why is Miss Maple able to hold on for so long? And why is her health bar barely moving?" Kirito stared at the health bar above her teammate's head, completely bewildered.

Because of their damage reflection skills, a large number of these cute little brown bears were quickly killed by the reflected damage, and Kirito's experience points also increased rapidly.

"Wait a minute! This is definitely not right. Miss Maple, how did you allocate your skill points?" Kirito asked curiously.

"Because I'm afraid of pain, I maxed out my defense." Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Kiriko with a very wise gaze.

"Full defense? Then where does your damage come from?" Kirito continued to press.

“I have a damage reflection skill. When monsters attack me, they lose health faster,” Yamabuki Hanajin continued.

"Aren't you afraid of getting killed? It's not just a game; if you die, you're really dead," Kirito continued to press.

“I have a ring that can restore health. By the way, where is the boss in this area? We’re about to reach level four, so can we go and fight the level five boss?” Yamabuki Hanajin stared at Kiriko with a curious expression.

"Why does this game have such outrageous gameplay?" Kirito felt like he had wasted his three months of closed beta testing.
