I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Is this a siege? This is clearly a way to lose experience!

The team leader turned around and wanted to escape on the spot, completely ignoring his companions and not even caring about the direction. He just picked a random direction and evacuated.

However, because of this, the team leader did not realize that a young girl was already blocking his way in front of him.

"Aha!"

With a delicate cry, Leafa, who had stood up at some point, instantly drew the long sword from her waist, and held the sword high with both hands towards the team leader who was running towards her.

"noodle!"

Leafa shouted these terms loudly, then took a big step and chopped down the long sword in her hand.

"Pfft!!!"

The falling long knife hit the captain's head, splitting it in half, and splattering a light effect representing blood, which was extremely brutal.

If something like that happens where the game becomes reality, what would spill out wouldn't be the light effect representing blood, but pure blood and brains.

"Ugh..."

The captain opened his eyes wide before his death, looking at Leafa in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that the other party could be so cruel.

Immediately, the captain's entire body began to burn with flames, and he also turned into the remaining fire and disappeared.

Only Leafa was left, maintaining the sword-slashing posture, looking at the team leader who turned into remaining fire, and snorted coldly.

"I told you to use magic to blow us up, so I'll kill you."

Leafa said bitterly.

Asuna, who had dealt with the rest, saw this scene and shuddered on the spot.

"Is this girl so cruel?"

The girl who chopped a total of 19 players in half was heartlessly talking about how cruel others were, without even thinking about what she had just done.

……

……

In the Ruguru Corridor, a vicious encounter came to an end quietly.

The flames died down, darkness fell again, and the cave became peaceful again.

The remaining fires on the ground disappeared within a minute and returned to their own territories to revive.

This death not only reduced the skill proficiency of those players, but also caused 30% of the unequipped items to fall and enter the pockets of Asuna and Leafa.

Windows appeared in front of Asuna and Leafa one after another, telling the two what they had gained from the battle just now.

Although this battle was somewhat thrilling, the gains were also huge.

At least, Asuna alone obtained 30% of the items from 19 players, which can almost be said to be a huge profit.

Even Leafa got 30% of the captain's wealth, which made her, who was not very obsessed with props, feel relaxed.

"No wonder different races will fight to the death when they encounter each other. If there is such a gain, there is no room for mediation. Even if it is just for these props, they will fight to the death, right?"

Asuna was inspired.

Fortunately, SAO is not this type of game, otherwise, before the game is even halfway through, the players' spirits would probably be shrouded in fear and distrust.

"So, race wars often happen, especially for the fire elves. From the beginning, their goal has been to rob players' resources to strengthen themselves. That's why they are now the most powerful race among the nine races."

Leafa didn't seem to be too impressed by this behavior.

Asuna didn't care.

"Games are just games, just enjoy them, why think so much?"

Asuna accepted all the gains with peace of mind.

After all, killing them here would not really kill them. I would just take these spoils as a lesson for them.

"That's true."

Leafa was obviously a carefree person and didn't want to dwell on it too much, so she quickly closed the main window.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them suggested starting over. Instead, they fell into deep thought.

"What do you think?"

Leafa asked tentatively.

"This was a premeditated action no matter how you look at it. I don't think they attacked us just by chance."

Leafa said this bluntly.

Asuna naturally thought so.

"From the beginning, these guys were planning their tactics against us. I can't believe that there is nothing fishy going on."

Asuna also expressed her opinion.

"Then who do you think knows so much about you and leaks your information?"

Although Leafa asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart.

“I was created not long ago, and have been in the capital of the Wind Elves’ territory ever since.

Besides, I have only used it once in public, except in front of you. Knowing that I am extremely fast and have strong attack power, who else could it be other than the wind elf in Siyulu class?"

Leafa was silent.

Just as Asuna said, the only person who had seen her fight and demonstrate her strength was the wind elf who witnessed the duel between Asuna and Sigurd in the wind tower of Siluban, the capital of the wind elf territory.

In this case, the person who leaked Asuna's information must be the wind elf.

And among these wind elves, who else could it be except that one person who has a grudge against Asuna and would actively provide information about her, causing her to be targeted and encircled in the wild?

"Sigurd...?"

Leafa whispered the name.

After all, only Sigurd had the motivation to do this.

"Because we lost to you and lost face, we secretly leaked your information and let the fire elves group to encircle and suppress us, right?"

Leafa sighed.

This is indeed what Sigurd would do.

With a grudge in his heart, even if Sigurd didn't do it himself, he would deliberately make plans to secretly leak Asuna's information and let Asuna be targeted by people of the hostile race.

I have to say that Sigurd is just like what we have seen before, self-righteous, face-conscious, and narrow-minded. He is simply the most disgusting villain.

But are things really that simple?

"If this crackdown was triggered simply out of hatred, that would be fine."

Asuna glanced at Leafa and said calmly.

"The fear is that this may not just be due to hatred."

Asuna's words made Leafa stunned.

"Not just because of a grudge?"

Leafa didn't seem to understand what this meant.

064 Emergency

Asuna looked at Leafa and said, "In fact, there is another situation where someone among the wind elves will take the initiative to leak my information, or even reveal our whereabouts, so that the fire elves can surround and suppress us."

What's the situation?

Although Leafa didn't say it, her eyes revealed exactly that.

"That is, there are spies of the fire elves among the wind elves."

Asuna pointed this out calmly.

"Varied……!?"

Leafa's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is there anything strange about this?"

Asuna looked at Leafa in confusion and said, "Since this is a game that encourages racial war, isn't it natural to send spies to the enemy race to collect intelligence?"

Although Siilban, as the capital of the wind elves, has very strict countermeasures against the hostile fire elves, not only does it set up powerful NPC guards to kill the fire elves as soon as they are spotted, but also once the fire elves are spotted entering the territory, it will also mobilize all the wind elves to kill the enemy.

But this only applies to fire elves.

Considering the cruelty of racial war, it would not be surprising even if wind elves were bribed by fire elves and did things that harmed their race.

There are a lot of people like this who are willing to sell out their own people in real life. In the game, there are no legal constraints, let alone moral constraints. If it is just played as a game, there should be more people willing to do it.

In this case, it is understandable that the other party would leak the information about Asuna and Leafa and let the fire elves encircle and suppress them.

“Don’t forget, you are one of the top five wind elves.

Hunting you is still very tempting to the fire elves."

"And I easily defeated the troublesome Sigurd who had won the second place in the fighting tournament. He was obviously a newcomer, but his skills were so high. As a hostile race, it is natural for them to want to suppress such a powerful future enemy."

Asuna explained to Leafa.

"Then... who became the fire elf's spy and betrayed the wind elf?"

Leafa asked anxiously.

Asuna: "I think it should be Sigurd?"

"Why him?"

Leafa wondered.

"Because there is a high possibility that there is an element of revenge involved."

Asuna said directly: "Besides, that guy is obviously an incompetent villain who can betray his race at will. He was able to leak my information to the fire spirit in such detail. Who else could it be except him who fought against me personally?"

Of course, this is just speculation.

But there is one more thing.

"Your friend named Regan said when we left that he had something he cared about and had to stay in Sigurd's team, right?"

Asuna smiled and said, "So, what exactly is this so-called concern? Why did he give up being with you, his beloved, and give you to me, who is probably his biggest rival in love?"

"It's not about the favorite or the love rival!" Leafa slapped Asuna angrily.

If it was Kirito, Leafa would still be very happy in her heart even though she said so.

However, ever since she knew that the girl in front of her was really Asuna, Leafa no longer had those thoughts. At most, she just had some admiration for her.

However, Leafa already understood what Asuna wanted to express.

"I think that boy named Regan must have discovered some abnormalities in Sigurd."

Asuna said: "You'd better contact him quickly, otherwise, he might do something reckless. After all, that boy is a bit stupid..."

Before Leafa could finish her sentence, a flashing icon appeared in front of her.

"A message from Regan?"

Leafa suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart...

……

……

In the dark cave, only a faint light was flickering, illuminating an area within a few meters, making the two wind elf girls bathed in this light, looking extremely dazzling.

Asuna had nothing to do, so she called out the main window and checked the damage of each piece of equipment and her own ability values, while also checking the various items in the item bar. Only from time to time would she turn her head and look at Leafa next to her.

At this moment, within Asuna's field of vision, Leafa was hanging her head, closing her eyes, and seemed to have lost consciousness.

Any ALO player will know this situation.

That means the player operating this character has gone offline, and his consciousness has returned to the real world, not here.

At this moment, Leafa has temporarily left the world of ALO and returned to reality.

The reason was simple, because just a few minutes ago, Leafa received a message from Regen.
