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

Finally, it rushed into the distant forest, pierced through a large number of tree trunks, and disappeared completely.

Boom!

The originally powerful blow completely lost its kinetic energy, and the huge bear paw hit Darkness's head like garbage thrown from the upstairs.

"Eh?"

She subconsciously stretched out her arm and caught the bear paw that fell from above her head.

Warm blood flowed out from the cuts on the side, staining Darkness’s hands bloody.

next moment.

Pfft!

Pfft!

It was as if something heavy was dropped, and two dull sounds were heard one after another.

Darkness’s gaze slowly moved down from the bear paw in her hand.

The blood formed a stream that slowly flowed to her feet, soaking the soil that had become soft due to the battle, and finally seeping into the deep soil layer, dyeing the surface with a touch of scarlet.

“Blood…” Darkness’ lips opened and closed slightly.

She looked up.

What caught my eye was the upper body of the bear, which was still struggling in pain.

Not far away from it, the lower body, completely unable to move, lay there quietly.

Even some of its organs were able to keep functioning due to the powerful vitality of the One-Strike Bear.

However, as the blood continues to be lost, the lower body will soon become a completely dead thing.

"Roar……"

The bear that lost its claws looked at Darkness unwillingly, and the injury in its mouth made its roar seem very miserable.

"Darkness! Are you okay?!"

Chris ran over quickly, his small boots stepping on the bloody stream, and looked at the dazed Darkness with concern.

"No... I'm fine..." She answered blankly, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.

His eyes were still fixed on the body of the One-Strike Bear.

"It... died already?"

"Yes, I told you that Asuna is amazing!" Chris nodded as a matter of course.

From behind, Asuna slowly walked over.

The scabbard at the waist has lost the object it was supposed to carry.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Asuna walked over and asked Darkness.

"Thank you, Asuna." Darkness first thanked Asuna, with a hint of emotion in her tone.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm really useless."

Then, she picked up her heavy sword that was knocked away by the bear in distress.

Looking at the tiny cracks appearing on the heavy sword, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"It's okay, but it looks like you learned something from it, and that's enough."

Asuna took out a rope and tied up the two halves of the One-Strike Bear's body. Then she held her breath, pulled the arrow out of its throat, and threw it aside.

"Okay, mission accomplished, let's go back."

Asuna pulled the rope easily, dragging the body of the forest overlord behind her.

Chris patted Darkness' shoulder with an affirmative look in his eyes, then trotted after him, complaining about something.

Looking at the two people gradually walking away, Darkness patted her cheek, but forgot that her hands were already covered with the blood of the Ichigo bear.

This slap left two blurry bloody palm prints on his face, as if he had experienced some inhumane torture.

She put the heavy sword back on her back, then picked up the bear paw on the ground and hurriedly followed.

"Wait for me!"

……

……

"Hey, what...what is that?!"

"That... One-Strike Bear! That's One-Strike Bear! Did someone defeat One-Strike Bear?!"

"Who are they? They are all female adventurers. Are they high-level adventurers from outside?!"

Asuna and the others caused quite a stir because they dragged the corpse of One Strike Bear into the city.

After all, a terrifying monster like the One-Strike Bear is not something that ordinary people can defeat.

Moreover, the guild's crusade mission had been posted there for at least half a year, and it was conquered today without any announcement. How could this not shock everyone?

Ignoring those who were making a fuss, Asuna went straight to the guild and submitted the mission.

"As expected of Asuna, you defeated a terrifying monster like One Punch Bear so easily."

Luna seemed to have anticipated this and directed the other guild members to collect the body of the One-Strike Bear.

——The following is the reason why I updated so late——

--point--

Sorry, I got mad.

When I thought about how this old thief directly arranged Xiangxiang without any foreshadowing or emotional subplots, I got very angry. How could anyone accept this?

If this old thief had laid some groundwork and created some related plots in the previous films, I would not be unable to accept it.

Now, look what happens, and you go up and arrange it for yourself. I am disgusted anyway. It is really a bad taste. Is this the gap between China and foreign countries?

Someone on Weibo said that Kensuke looks like Kaji when he grows up. Okay, a bit like him, but did Xiangxiang really need him at that time?

Given Xiangxiang's personality, after going through so much, I don't think she would make such a choice. At most, she would just smile and reminisce.

Chapter 21: Just a little bit stronger

Not long after, Asuna and the others received the reward from the guild for defeating the One-Strike Bear.

In view of Asuna's superb strength, the guild was relieved and no longer worried that Asuna would default on her debt.

After all, Cricket was only three million Eris. As long as Asuna took on a few difficult missions, she could quickly raise the money.

I'm not afraid that Asuna won't be able to pay back the money.

Because of this, the guild did not take out a portion of Eris as compensation, but paid the full amount to Asuna.

After all, they couldn't offend a strong man just for a little money.

Asuna chatted with Luna for a while, then found a higher-value mission from the guild's mission list, and then left the guild with Chris and Darkness.

"We just got back, and we have to go fight another monster?"

Darkness asked.

"Don't worry, replenish your weapons first."

Asuna did not deny it, but took them to the weapon shop.

Because of the previous battle, the heavy sword in Darkness's hand was not scrapped, but it was twisted by the bear's attack and caused considerable damage.

Moreover, the monsters chosen by Asuna are all powerful monsters. If she continues to use this heavy sword, it may be okay once or twice, but if it lasts for a long time, then this sword will definitely be completely scrapped like the previous heavy sword in Darkness's hand.

"We want to buy a heavy sword, and please take care of it."

Asuna handed Darkness's heavy sword to the owner of the weapon shop.

Although the forging skills in this world are not as good as those of the adventurers in Orario, they are still well developed.

After all, there are adventurers in this world, so weapons and equipment naturally need to be vigorously developed.

Although I don’t know what the secrets of the so-called artifact in this world are, but since it is called “artifact”, I think its quality should be good.

Although Chris had two weapons that looked like divine weapons in his hands, Asuna was not proficient in forging. In addition, her system was broken, so she could not determine the quality of the "divine weapon".

"Huh? Isn't this the one I sold not long ago?" The owner of the weapon shop looked at the scarred heavy sword, his expression shocked.

"I think you must have gone through a very difficult battle. Crowdfunding group④五六一２７９④０."

The shopkeeper's eyes swept across Darkness's armor.

The heavy sword was covered with scars, even the blade was flattened by some powerful monster, but the armor worn by the female adventurer dressed as a knight had almost no scars, at most there was just some dust.

However, this is the norm for adventurers, and the shop owner was not too surprised.

After handing the heavy sword over to the store owner for maintenance and having Darkness pick out a new heavy sword as a replacement, Asuna picked up a few long swords as consumables.

As for Chris, she didn't have anything to add, so she just followed Darkness and carefully selected the heavy sword.

"Asuna, what mission are we taking this time?"

After everything was ready, Chris asked.

"A ground dragon deep in the forest." Asuna hired a carriage, "I heard that this mission was going to be handed over to adventurers from other cities, but after I found out, I asked for it.

It should be a little bit stronger than One-Strike Bear."

Asuna drove the car while moving closer with her thumb and index finger, leaving a slight distance.

“You’re just a little bit…” Darkness’ mouth twitched.

A monster stronger than One-Strike Bear, but when it comes into your mouth, it’s only a little bit stronger?

But when Darkness thought of Asuna's strength, she felt relieved.

Well, it does for you.

“Well, then the first round of attack will be left to you, Darkness.” Asuna said with a smile.

“Okay, I understand.” Darkness nodded seriously. “But if I can’t bear it anymore, Asuna, you must save me in time!”

"Don't worry, even if Asuna doesn't save you, I'm still here!" Chris patted his chest and said confidently.

"Well, I'll trouble you then, Chris!"

Because Asuna and Chris were driving outside, the only person in the car was Darkness, who was wearing heavy armor.

She took out the Adventurer Card, looked at the upgrade she got from killing a bear, and immediately put the points she got into defense.

"There are too many dangerous guys in this world, and if I want to increase my attack power now, it will definitely be too late.

In this case, let's thoroughly implement our previous idea and use all the points on defense and physical strength!

By then, as long as I am strong enough, no one will be able to beat me!"

Darkness realized that she was not strong enough and was very determined.

Because One-Strike Bear's level is much higher than that of Yasuna and the others, the three people who participated in the expedition basically all gained level upgrades.

The same goes for Asuna.

She also took the time to try to add some points, but the effect on repairing the Sea of ​​Spirit was not very obvious, and was far from comparable to the ability gained by changing jobs.

However, although the amount of repair gained by adding points is less, it is still possible to obtain it in large quantities, and sooner or later one day your injuries will be completely repaired.

Asuna, who had rich gaming experience, quickly distributed the points. In addition to making herself feel better, her strength also improved.

As for the skills that adventurers possess in this world, Asuna also learned some of them.

Like [One-handed Sword], [Lurking], [Perception], [Search] and so on, since they are similar to the skills in SAO, Asuna quickly mastered them.
