Half a month later, January 9th, 2023.
Kirito had already cleared the tenth floor's BOSS. However, since he was stuck at Level 29, Kirito decided to level up to Level 30 before clearing the BOSS.
His past experience told him that the BOSS on the tenth floor was not easy to deal with.
In the past fifteen days, although Kirito had conquered five bosses, none of them had dropped the equipment that Kirito wanted. Of course, Kirito's equipment was already the best at this stage.
During these fifteen days, Kirito had helped Sachi and Yueye's Black Cat Group quite a bit. He often brought Sachi, Kita, and the others to level up.
As a result, the average level of Yue Ye's Black Cat Guild members wasn't any lower than that of the army.
However, the ones who were the most depressed were the frontline strategy team.
The Bosses on the first nine floors had all been cleared by unknown players. As a result, their levels and equipment were not much higher than the other solo players.
However, the outside world did not know that the strategy team had yet to conquer a single BOSS.
As a result, the strategy team was in a very awkward position.
They did not hesitate to spend a lot of time and effort to find the person who had defeated the BOSS.
The person they were looking for was on the sixth floor, in the elemental creatures area.
Kirito had come here to collect something called elemental shards, which could be synthesized into elemental gems. Elemental gems could increase the attributes of weapons or defensive equipment.
Different elemental gems increased different attributes.
For example, fiery red elemental gems could increase attack power, green ones could increase HP recovery, and yellow ones could increase defense.
" Please…Bina…Don't leave me alone…"
Kirito seemed to hear a familiar cry.
"Celika, this is Celika's voice.”
Kirito shouted in surprise.
Ever since he had transmigrated, it seemed that things had not developed according to the original plot.
There seemed to be a butterfly effect, and many things had changed.
Kirito thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that the time he met these people was completely different from the time he originally met them!
Then, this might mean that the world of SAO would undergo changes that he could not predict.
"Bi Na, Bi Na, Bi Na."
Celica's voice snapped Kirito, who was deep in thought, back to reality.
Kirito quickly ran toward Silika.
At this moment, two streams of tears slid down Celica's cheeks and fell onto the large feathers on the ground. In the end, they turned into particles of light and scattered in all directions.
That light blue feather was the only friend she had since entering SAO. It was also a relic left behind by Cilika's demonic spirit, Bina.
A few minutes ago, Bina had died while protecting Celica. It received a fatal blow from the monster's weapon. After letting out a sorrowful cry, it scattered like shattered ice cubes. All that was left was a long tail feather that swayed happily every time its name was called.
The low roar sounded again, followed by the falling cudgel. Because of Bina's death, Cecilia stood rooted to the ground, unable to think. There were still options like running away or using the transfer crystal, but she could only stare blankly at the cudgel that was raised for the third time.
The crude weapon emitted a red glow, and just as Celica was about to close her eyes out of reflex…
A pure white ray of light came from behind the apeman and slashed horizontally, cutting apart the two Drunken Mad Apemen standing side by side.
In an instant, the apeman's body broke into two halves, and it let out a series of miserable cries and sounds of destruction.
Silica, who was stunned on the spot, only saw a male player standing there after the monster in front of her turned into pieces and evaporated.
He was not tall with his black hair and black coat, but he exuded a strong sense of majesty.
Cecilia instinctively felt fear and took a step back. Their gazes met.
Kirito's eyes were very calm, as deep as the darkness of the night. Celica's eyes were red and moist.
Kirito sheathed the single-handed sword in his right hand into the scabbard on his back with a clang. Then, he said with a hint of self-reproach,
"…I'm sorry. I couldn't save your friend…"
The moment she heard this, Celica felt weak all over. She could no longer hold back her tears and they kept flowing down. She didn't notice that the dagger slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. Her gaze shifted to the aqua blue feather on the ground and she knelt down in front of it.
A deep sense of sadness and loss surged from the bottom of his heart. This emotion turned into tears that kept rolling down her cheeks.
Kirito also squatted down and said softly to Celica,"
"Don't cry. I have a way to resurrect it.”
