A flash of cold light, and a series of sharp sword blades sliced ​​through the necks of wolves.

Amidst splattering blood and the thud of wolves falling to the ground, Kirigaya Naoki expressionlessly checked his level.

I've been promoted one level, but that's not enough.

A warm current flowed through his body; though not much, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.

They are faster and more agile, and stronger.

This is roughly equivalent to the effect of a month of his training.

This discovery surprised him quite a bit, and now he has a bold idea: after the game ends, will his original body be able to inherit this mantle?

However, he needs to rest for a while before he can continue fighting; otherwise, the fatigue caused by the intense battle will affect his performance.

After resting for a while, his stamina gradually recovered, and his mana bar slowly returned to full. This time, Kirigaya Naoki had learned his lesson and did not use the swordsmanship of the Sword God style.

It didn't matter before; using it only reduced the blue bar.

Now it's directly reducing mental energy.

You need to reach a higher level before you can really unleash your full potential.

He drew his sword and charged forward, the iron blade swirling in his hand, turning wolves into dead souls beneath his blade.

Wolves respawned again at intervals not far away.

These level 1 monsters are easy to deal with.

As Kirigaya Naoki's level increased, the demonic wolf could no longer provide him with much experience. After pondering for a while, he decided to rush forward at breakneck speed.

The endless grassland, the rapid beating of his heart as he ran, and the earthy scent in the air made Naoki Kiritani feel somewhat dazed.

Although SAO was described as a fully immersive game during its development, it still didn't reach this level of realism.

The reason is that it minimizes the player's pain.

After all, this is just a game, not reality.

If playing a game is so painful that you feel like you're dying, then probably not many players would choose it.

Players want to experience the feeling of being able to peacefully bask in the morning sun after work, feeling the sea breeze, and walking on soft grass.

In short, they don't want to experience pain; they only want to feel comfortable.

Although pain sensitivity may decrease, a lot is lost in the process.

The most common sense is touch.

Sure enough, Naoki Kiritani immediately noticed the difference.

This world can no longer be called a game.

A gentle breeze ruffled his hair, and the sunlight bathed him, making him feel comfortable.

To be honest, he really wanted to get a good night's sleep while basking in the sunlight.

I checked the time; it was already noon.

Naoki Kiritani has always had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon.

This is something he learned from the original owner of the body. Both Kirigaya Naoki and Roya believed that only after taking a nap could one be more energetic in the afternoon.

However, now is not the time to be reckless.

Naoki Kiritani hurried towards the forest.

He needs to go to the carnivorous plant area and lure the monsters away; he might even encounter some special monsters there.

The monster is a hooded rat that is extremely agile and can drop very rare one-handed swords with excellent attributes.

This sword will still be relevant even if it's placed on the third floor.

It's a must-have for beginners.

He gave up after walking for a while.

There's no other reason than that there are too many monsters on the road.

This has severely delayed his progress.

Even if they went deeper, they could not achieve their goal.

Moreover, it is estimated that the GM will announce the actual gameplay around 4 or 5 pm, and he is currently still at level 2.

This level of skill doesn't qualify you as a pro.

Naoki Kiritani had no choice but to kill the wolf-like creatures and the bees floating in mid-air on the spot.

Naoki Kiritani was unlucky; he only got a piece of equipment from the twenty-third bee he killed.

It was a rather heavy longsword, its blade gleaming with a deep, cold light.

At just one glance, Kirigaya Naoki's eyes lit up; this sword was far superior to his novice iron sword.

And this is indeed the case.

[Steel Sword]

Wearing restrictions: Level 2

【Characteristic: Sharp (I)】

Although this sword still has only level one trait, its attributes are indeed much better than that beginner longsword.

Naoki Kiritani continued to grind monsters and level up, wielding his newly acquired weapon.

With the added sharpness of this sword, Kirigaya Naoki leveled up quickly, relying on his original level advantage and the sharp sword in his hand to basically kill one enemy with each strike.

Soon they arrived at the entrance to the edge of the forest again.

I glanced at the time; it was already 3:45 PM.

It's no longer a good time to grind levels deep in the forest.

However, if he were on the outer edge, neither wolves, bees, nor other types of reptiles could bring him higher profits.

After thinking it over, Kirigaya Naoki decided to move on.

He was actually planning to try his luck and hopefully run into one of those rare monsters.

Even if the equipment is lost, it can be given to Asuna.

The forest was vast, with trees so dense that they blocked out the sky, allowing only a few rays of light to filter through the leaves.

With a gust of wind, the dappled shadows of the trees swayed.

Due to the dim lighting, Naoki Kiritani's vision was also slightly affected.

Sometimes you only see the monster's appearance when you're five or six meters away.

As he stepped over the thick pile of leaves, withered yellow leaves were everywhere. If you looked closely, you could even see some insects crawling on them.

Strangely enough, these insects were not classified as wild monsters, so Kirigaya Naoki curiously tried to kill one.

Although it was a dense forest, and one would expect such a place to have a lot of mosquitoes, Kirigaya Naoki didn't hear a single mosquito buzzing. The insects didn't actively climb onto him either; instead, they crawled on the dark ground.

Naoki Kiritani became increasingly curious about the world.

In the forest, a boy with dazzling blond hair strode confidently along a narrow path.

The narrow path was discovered during the closed-loop survey by Naoki Kiritani.

The end of this road leads to the door where the BOSS is located.

Chapter 35 Piranha

The route will pass through the middle of the mountainside, where the man-eating flower is located.

Naoki Kiritani tricked Asuna, and she kept complaining about it, so she still had a strong impression of this place.

The man-eating plant is not easy to deal with for beginners, especially since Kirigaya Naoki is only at level 5.

We can only attack them one by one, and if we attract too much aggro, we have to retreat temporarily.

SAO actually allows you to kill monsters above your level, and the experience gained from killing monsters above your level is exceptionally high, but you will be under a special buff.

This buff is a debuff; its effect is to determine how much damage reduction the monster receives based on the player's level.

In short, if you're going to attempt something beyond your capabilities, do so within your limits.

Naoki Kiritani quickly reached the center of the valley. Unfortunately, although he saw many small monsters along the way, he still did not see the hooded rats.

This left Naoki Kiritani quite disappointed.

Forcing himself to stay alert, Kirigaya Naoki began to survey the surrounding terrain and soon spotted a lone carnivorous plant.

Silently calculating the aggro range of the man-eating flower in his mind, Kirigaya Naoki retreated to a safe distance, gripped a pebble in his right hand, and began to aim.

A blue luster flashed across the stone in his hand, a sign that the sword technique had been successfully activated.

The whistling sound, carrying the force of the wind, swept towards the carnivorous plants in the distance.

The carnivorous plant was hit by a stone and roared angrily, then began to attack Kirigaya Naoki. Once the monster is attacked by the player, it will have a built-in target acquisition function.

Naoki Kiritani initially expected one man-eating plant, but clearly, two man-eating plants came galloping towards him.
