This second dimension is too immortal

Seeing this, the cultists' faces hidden under their hoods became even more fanatical.

They raised their hands high and kept shouting:

"Praise the Lord!! Darkness devours everything!!"

"Praise the darkness!! Darkness will live forever!!"

""

Along with the shouts, the black heart beat faster and faster, more and more rapidly, as if it was about to explode at the next moment.

“Praise!! My Lord!!”

Seeing this, the leader of the cult suddenly stood up, he shouted loudly, and then with a "bang" his whole body exploded, and red blood mist filled the air, rushing towards the black heart.

"Weng hum hum!!!"

As if stimulated by the blood mist, a terrifying wave burst out from the black heart, directly blowing away the cultists surrounding him.

However, even so, the cultists who were blown away and fell to the ground coughing up blood were not afraid, but instead laughed wildly.

"My Lord has arrived!! My Lord has arrived! Hahahaha!"

"puff!!"

Amid the wild laughter of the cultists, a hideous black arm tore open the black heart from the inside out, followed by a tall figure slowly rising.

The figure had a goat-like head, with cross-like pupils in its scarlet eyes. On its broad back, a pair of fleshy wings like those of an evil dragon stretched out.

Sharp claws and sheep's hooves, and behind it is a long, dark tail that looks like it's made of connected bones.

Judging from its appearance alone, this being born from the black heart is indeed terrifying. Calling it a demon is perfectly fine, but calling it the Dark Lord seems a bit off.

Of course, in a sense, this thing is really the Dark Lord that those cultists talk about, because...

Dark Lord: lv: 75

A very conspicuous health bar appeared above the creature, directly indicating its identity in this game.

It is worth mentioning that the words "cultist" and their respective ranks are also written on the heads of those cultists.

Obviously, this is the game world called Sword Art Online, and this monster called Dark Lord should be one of the bosses if nothing unexpected happens.

So the question is, a level 75 BOSS is undoubtedly something that can only be encountered in the later stages of this game where the maximum level is 100.

And now, Sword Art Online has just been launched in public beta, and there is not even a level 10 player among all the players. Why is the perspective coming here?

That's naturally because...

"Boom!!!"

In front of the Dark Lord, a streak of white light descended from nowhere, broke through the darkness, and landed steadily in front of it.

"Roar!!"

The Dark Lord roared at the stream of light, and the AI ​​that constituted his conscious existence gave it a personality that matched its identity.

As the lord of darkness, it naturally hates light, so it can't wait to tear apart the light and the existence wrapped in the light.

However, the rules and procedures of the game also restrain it, preventing it from doing anything beyond the rules.

Just like that, the Dark Lord roared, wishing he could rush forward and tear the descending existence into pieces, but at the same time he stood still and could not move.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

There was a real feeling under his feet as if he was stepping on the floor. Before Zhao Si had time to feel the difference between virtual and reality, he was distracted by a burst of crazy roars.

"What the hell is going on? Why is it so noisy?"

He opened his eyes in confusion, and the Dark Lord's roaring face appeared in Zhao Si's eyes. For a moment, even though Zhao Si was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Si: ???

Looking at the ferocious and oppressive dark lord in front of him, Zhao Si couldn't help but look a little weird after he came to his senses.

Is this Sword Art Online?

To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen a game with a novice guide designed to be so pure and unworldly. Wow, I love it.

Chapter 484 No Such Person

"Roar!!!"

With the appearance of Zhao Si, the rules that bound the Dark Lord were also released. It roared and rushed towards Zhao Si like a small mountain.

"...Okay, but judging by her appearance, she certainly doesn't look like a novice instructor."

Seeing this, Zhao Si shrugged his shoulders and then took a step away. This seemingly simple action made the Dark Lord's attack miss.

"Gu!!"

The attack missed, and a sound like a beast's growl came from the Dark Lord's throat. Then the wings behind him began to flap, and the turbulent air flow rolled. He flew high into the sky and continued to kill Zhao Si.

"Hmm, so it seems like this guy is probably the initial boss? Level 75?"

He easily dodged the opponent's attack again, and looking at the level 75 above the Dark Lord's head, Zhao Si couldn't help but be amazed.

My goodness, this is absolutely no intention to give newbies a chance to survive.

As we all know, the first BOSS that players encounter in most games is generally not too difficult, and most of them are accompanied by teaching content, which allows players to understand the operation methods and techniques of the game in the shortest time.

In addition to this, there are also some games that set the first BOSS as an audience test machine. This is to clearly tell players that my game is of this difficulty. If you can play it, play it. If you can't, refund it as soon as possible to avoid being beaten half to death and then giving me a bad review.

There are such games, such as the famous "Souls-based game". Although Zhao Si has never really come into contact with it, he has heard of this unique game style.

In Zhao Si's opinion, the BOSS in front of him played a similar role, in short, it was to persuade monsters to retreat.

However, what Zhao Si couldn't understand was that the game used the initial BOSS to set a threshold to divide the specific target audience, which was nothing new.

But the initial BOSS is level 75...isn't that a bit too outrageous?

It's understandable that the BOSS is difficult. You can always kill it after suffering for an hour or so. After all, the early BOSS will not exceed the player's level or health by much.

But, level 75?

Then Zhao Si took another closer look. Wow, it had a health point of 100 million. Even if it stood still, a player at level 1 might not be able to kill it even if he attacked it for a whole day, right?

What the hell is this? Is the game designer crazy?

"This is outrageous! I'm not playing the game, it's the game playing me! Is this the game Xiao Wu and the others have been waiting so eagerly for the public beta?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Si stopped with a look of disgust on his face.

Virtual reality might be interesting, but with this kind of planning, it's likely to fail sooner or later.

Thinking this way, Zhao Si was just about to call out the game system and log off, but at this moment...

"You are very strong, human. Even in the forbidden magic area of ​​Aincrad, you are the first human who can fight me alone and still be at ease!" The Dark Lord flapped his flesh wings and flew in the air, speaking in a low voice.

"Um?"

Zhao Si was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had not expected this boss to actually speak. And judging from the situation, it seemed that these were not pre-set lines, but the result of real-time calculations?

Zhao Si temporarily gave up the idea of ​​logging off, and interest rose in his heart again. He looked carefully at the Dark Lord in front of him.

Speaking of which, although Zhao Si didn't have a very good impression of this game for other reasons, to be honest, the virtual reality technology used in this game is very powerful.

If it weren't for the health bar and level above the BOSS's head, and the game panel that could be summoned, Zhao Si almost thought he was in a real world.

Everything around is extremely real, and the feedback from all aspects is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

And now, Zhao Si has discovered another commendable aspect of this game, that is the AI ​​of this game.

How to say it, if you block out the level and health, the Dark Lord in front of you is just like a real person. No matter his actions, reactions or expressions, Zhao Si feels no disharmony or awkwardness.

This game is quite technically advanced...

Thinking of this, Zhao Si said with interest: "Really? It's really an honor. But I think since you have stopped attacking me, you must have something else to say, right?"

I want to see how smart this game's AI is.

"Of course. Being able to fight with me to this extent, you have proved your strength to me. Trialist from Aincrad, are you willing to sign a contract with me and become my agent in the world?" The Dark Lord looked at Zhao Si and said, there seemed to be a hint of appreciation in his eyes engraved with a cross.

Zhao Si was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, and then said in a strange tone: "...Become your... agent?"

"That's right." The Dark Lord nodded, and then continued:

"I don't know why you're in my territory when you should be in Aincrad, but you've proven your worth."

"As long as you sign a contract with me, all beings within my territory will treat you as if you were me and exercise my supreme authority."

"What do you think? With such conditions, I believe you can't find a reason to refuse?" The Dark Lord spoke, as if he was a devil bewitching people, eager to make the human in front of him sign a contract with him.

As for what the Dark Lord said, regardless of whether it was a contract or not, Zhao Si was curious about another thing now.

"...Aincrad?"

Chewing on this name over and over again, Zhao Si vaguely remembered that when Sword Art Online was first tested, the world that players could explore seemed to be in a huge floating city in the sky called "Aincrad".

Wait a minute, this guy called me the Trialist from Aincrad, from?

His expression froze, and Zhao Si suddenly looked up at the Dark Lord, his voice rising several notches: "Isn't this Aincrad?!"

What the hell, did I enter the wrong game?

Just as Zhao Si learned that he was not in Aincrad, on the other side, in the first level of Aincrad, the initial town, the huge central square that served as the player's birthplace.

The sky was filled with an ominous red, and anxiety and fear were growing and spreading at this moment.

"So finally..."

Above the town, a huge figure wearing a red robe and his face hidden under a hood slowly issued the final ultimatum.

"There are gifts from me in your storage, please check."

As the figure finished speaking, many players standing in the square took action and opened their storage bars one after another.

In a corner of the crowd, Zhao Wu and Erya also took out the things they were told to store in their storage compartments.

It was a mirror. The moment the two of them held the mirror in their hands, two white lights emerged from under them and enveloped them.

For a moment, accompanied by people's shouts, dazzling white lights appeared one after another above the square.

After a moment, the white light dissipated. Zhao Wu looked at her original appearance in the mirror. There was no trace of anxiety or fear on her face. On the contrary, her face was filled with surprise and excitement.

One of the functions of the game terminal: as long as it can be defined as a "game", users can join the game in real time through the game terminal.

"That function is actually real! This is amazing!" Zhao Wu clenched her fists and whispered excitedly. If she hadn't considered the feelings of those around her, she might have cheered excitedly.

After all, this is the real Sword Art Online world! A world where Asuna and the others exist!

Of course, it would be too hard to express such joy. So, Zhao Wu turned to look at Erya beside him, and was about to share his joy with her, but...

"Oh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, damn it, I spent half an hour sculpting this face! It's gone just like that, gone! It's turned back into this three-dimensional face, why?!" Erya smashed the mirror in his hand to pieces, and then let out a sad and angry cry.

Originally, Erya's game image was designed to be a two-dimensional character that she liked very much. However, now under the effect of the mirror, she just became herself again, and you can imagine how she feels.

"...I told you that face-pinching is a waste of time, but you didn't listen. Haven't I told you to watch the anime and read the original novel?" Zhao Wu said helplessly.

"Who knows! I thought it was just a simple game... Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that angels can't be summoned in this world, I would definitely teach that guy a lesson!" Erya said angrily, staring at the huge figure in the sky.

"Okay, okay, there will be opportunities in the future. The most urgent thing now is that we have to find my brother first." Zhao Wu said.

Although Zhao Si agreed to them, Zhao Wu felt that it was impossible for Zhao Si to enter the game as punctually as they did.

So after entering the game, the two did not wait for Zhao Si in the initial town, but went to explore the world first.

And now, everything has begun, and it is time for them to officially reunite with Zhao Si.

But to be honest, it is very difficult for a normal person to find someone among tens of thousands of players without knowing their ID or name.

However, this was not a big problem for Zhao Wu, because she knew Zhao Si well enough to guess what the name of her brother's game was without even thinking.

Opening the game interface, Zhao Wu quickly typed in the word "Zhao Si" and clicked search.

"Hey, let me see, what level are you now, bro... um... um?"

As he spoke, Zhao Wu suddenly made a puzzled sound, and then stared blankly at the system panel in front of him.

"I'm ready here, are you here with Zhao Si?"

On the other side, Erya was also not idle. He added a few other friends including Gabriel who had agreed to play games together in advance. Just as he was about to check on Zhao Wu's situation, he saw Zhao Wu's stunned expression.

Feeling puzzled, Erya came behind Zhao Wu and said:

"What's wrong? Zhao Si...eh?"
