The huge fir-tree stood quietly at the location in his memory, with the curved shape in his memory. This square area with almost no other trees was covered with snow and emitted a pure white light. It looked like a plain where life was completely extinct.
The moment the clock in the corner of their vision reached midnight, a bell rang out from somewhere. Shiroya and Kirito looked up at the top of the tree.
With the pitch-black night sky, or more accurately, the bottom of the upper layer as the background, two rays of light extended continuously. After a closer look, he realized that it seemed to be a huge sleigh pulled by some strange monster.
As soon as they arrived above the firs, a black shadow flew down from the sleigh, and Shiroya and Kirito took a few steps back.
The one who kicked the snowflakes away was a monster about three times the height of an ordinary man. Although it still had the appearance of a human, its arms were abnormally long. As its body was bent forward, it almost rubbed the ground. Her small red eyes shone under the shadow of her unusually protruding forehead. The lower half of his face was covered with a gray, curved beard that reached to his lower abdomen.
The strange thing was that the monster was wearing a red and white shirt and a conical hat of the same color. It held an axe in its right hand and a big bag full of things in its left hand. The developer who designed this guy probably wanted a large group of players to feel scared and funny when they saw this ugly version of Santa Claus.
Nicholas was about to say the lines for the mission and was about to move his tangled beard, but two unromantic fellows said," Long-winded " immediately attacked. He didn't give Nicholas any time to talk nonsense before drawing his sword and charging forward. Nicholas probably had a hard time dealing with other things.
Nicholas was very strong, so strong that even if White Night and Kirito joined forces, they would still be in a dangerous situation. The HP indicator of the two people had already turned yellow. This was also thanks to White Night having the Wangshu Sword in his hand, and the power of the Kirito's Illustrator, which was a total of two Demon Divine Weapons. If it was in the past, they could only escape.
"Ahhhh, I hope that fellow, Hitzcliffe, is here to tank the monsters!”White Night's health bar had already reached the red zone after taking a direct hit from the BOSS. He quickly switched with Kirito and retreated to recover his health. Fortunately, this was not a crystal nullification space where he could use the healing crystal to recover his health. Otherwise, this guy would be too difficult to fight.
It was also because of this that White Night thought of the strongest tank, Heathcliffe. If you were to team up with him, you wouldn't have to worry about aggro. He was the best tank. When fighting monsters, you just had to focus on dealing damage.
"But he's not here, so we can only do it ourselves. Switch!”Kirito took advantage of the gap created by White Night to attack the BOSS with his sword and quickly switched to another player. His HP was even lower than White Night's. If he took a hit from the BOSS, he would definitely be finished.
"Cold Moon Flash!" The faint blue light on the Wangshu Sword was White Night's sword technique. If Kirito was able to use such a powerful move like the Starburst Air Slash while he was using the Two-Blade Style, it was even more likely that he would lose.
Using the Moon Chill on the Wangshu Sword, this sword attack had a slowing effect. The negative effect of freezing landed on Nicholas 'body, and the Boss' movements instantly slowed down.
"Now!" Taking advantage of Nicholas being slowed down, Shiroya and Kirito took a step back and charged up their power together. Then, black and blue lights appeared on their weapons.
"Fan Slash!"
"Crescent Slash!"
The Illustrator and Wangshu Sword, two of the most powerful weapons in the game, struck Nicholas at the same time. Nicholas 'already low HP bar was instantly emptied, and then it was a huge drop.
White Night did not make any unnecessary movements and sat down on the ground to rest. Kirito quickly collected all the items dropped by the BOSS. He exhaled deeply and waved his trembling hand to call out the window.
The new item bar was filled with an annoying number of item names. Weapons and armor, gemstones, crystals, and even food ingredients. Kirito carefully scrolled through the window that listed all kinds of things, looking for only one thing. After a few seconds, that thing came into his sight too decisively.
It was called the Soul Returning Saint Crystal.
Kirito's heart was beating rapidly. Could he really revive Sachi? In that case, the souls of Kai Tai, Tetsuo, and the players who had lost their lives in the game were actually not destroyed…?
After several failed attempts due to his trembling hands, Kirito finally materialized the Soul Returning Saint Crystal. Floating on the window was an egg-sized gem that was extremely beautiful with seven-colored light.
" Yuki…Yuki…" Kirito called out Yuki's name and tapped on the gem. He selected the description on the menu, which displayed a simple explanation in familiar font.
Choose to use it from the automatic menu of the item, or hold it in your hand and shout "Resurrection: As long as the target player dies and the effect light completely disappears (about ten seconds), the target player can be revived.
About ten seconds. There was nothing more clear and cold than these words that seemed to have been added on purpose to announce to him the fact that the dead Kyu would never come back.
About ten seconds. This was the time from when the player's health points dropped to zero and the virtual body began to scatter until the NERvGear emitted electromagnetic waves and destroyed the player's brain in the real world.
" Ahhhh…Ahhh
"Ahhhhh!”
As he roared, his boots stepped on the gemstone. However, the gemstone only sparkled without any pain or itch. It did not even have a scratch, let alone crack. Kirito roared with all his strength. He stuck his hands into the ground and grabbed the snow with his fingers. Finally, he continued to roar.
White Night just watched him from the side. He knew that he would only be asking for trouble if he spoke up now, so he simply did not speak. The attributes of the resurrection tool had already made Kirito completely give up, and at the same time, he had also completely grown up.
After Kirito recovered, the two of them picked up the Saint Crystals buried in Xue Shen and walked back to the original transfer point. Only Klein and the members of Wind Forest Volcano remained in the forest. The members of the Holy Dragon Alliance had completely disappeared.
White Night counted the number of people Klein had brought with him, and no one's name had turned orange. In other words, no one had died on either side. Furthermore, looking at Klein's tired appearance, it could be inferred that he had joined forces with the Holy Dragon to negotiate a one-on-one duel.
Klein heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them approaching, and his expression softened. However, when he saw Kirito's expression, the corners of his mouth immediately stiffened.
"…Kirito…"
Kirito placed the Saint Crystal on Klein's knee.
"This is a resurrection tool, but it can't be used on people who have already died. You can use it to save the next person who will die in front of you.”After saying this, Kirito was about to walk to the exit, but Klein grabbed his coat.
" Kirito... Kirito..." Two streams of tears streaked across his stubble-covered cheeks. Kirito looked at him in surprise.
"Kirito…you, you have to live…even if everyone except you dies, you have to live until the last moment!!”
Kirito took his coat from Klein, who was crying and repeating the words 'live on'." Goodbye."”With that, he walked out of the Lost Forest.
Bai Ye patted Klein's shoulder." Don't worry, he won't die with me around!”After saying that, he walked out of the Lost Forest.
