Hearing this, Zhao Wu and Erya looked at each other, and the same doubts emerged in their hearts.

So why hasn’t Zhao Si (Brother) come back yet? Could he have gotten lost in the video game?

The two of them had no idea what the specific situation was. In short, they chatted with Kirito for a few words, and then Kirito was called away by his friend named Klein. Then, they waited for a while before they saw Zhao Si and the girl following behind him at the door of the hotel.

Kevin, I'm taking a day off. It's been too long since I last watched Sword Art Online. I'm going to watch it again and think about the plot.

Chapter 493: The boss was captured?

"Ahaha, sorry, Asuna. We had something urgent to do today and couldn't attend the meeting, so I can only trouble Zhao Si to bring you back."

Inside the hotel, the four of them sat around a table, and Nia spoke to Asuna, who was sitting across from her.

Hearing this, Asuna shook her head and said, "It's okay. Rather than this, Miss Cang Er, let's discuss what we talked about before."

"Oh, so, Asuna, what do you think? Do you want to join us?" Erya asked.

At the beginning of the last strategy meeting, although the strategy team was not successfully formed, Niya unexpectedly met Asuna.

At that time, Asuna had not yet decided to take up arms and leave the starting town. Like most other players, she felt confused and afraid about the future.

At this time, Erya met her and provided her with some help.

At that time, although Niya wanted to recruit Asuna, she gave up the idea because it was their first meeting and they were not familiar with each other, and Asuna was still in a confused state.

She just told Asuna that if she thought it over and wanted to join them in conquering the game world, then she could attend the second strategy meeting.

Of course, that's what she said, but Niya knew in her heart that Asuna would definitely choose to join them, so she had been looking forward to that day.

As expected, as soon as Erya finished speaking, Asuna on the other side nodded without any hesitation and said, "Yes, I have thought it through. Please let me join you, Miss Cang Er!"

As she spoke, Asuna stood up and bowed to Nia: "I don't want to, I don't want to lose to this game, even if I die at the hands of those monsters in the labyrinth area, I don't want to lose to it!"

The girl spoke loudly, and the way she spoke with slightly gritted teeth fully demonstrated her unyielding temper and strong character.

Upon hearing this, not to mention Zhao Wu and Erya, who had known Asuna for a long time and knew that she would make such a decision.

After listening to this, Zhao Si couldn't help but look up to the girl in front of him.

As a girl, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she had the courage to say such words and dared to fight in desperate situations.

No matter what, such a person can be considered a good person.

"Well, although it's a good thing to be aware, it's better not to have that kind of awareness of dying at the hands of a monster." Hearing this, Erya said with some shame.

"Well, I'm glad you joined us. We'll be companions from now on, Asuna!" Erya said, extending his hand towards Asuna.

Companion?

Upon hearing this, Asuna's face hidden under the hood was stunned for a moment. She looked at the hand that Erya extended, and her tense nerves seemed to be relieved a little by the magical power of those two words.

"....Um."

After a soft reply, Asuna's shoulders relaxed.

According to Zhao Wu, Asuna should be welcomed sometime. However, her idea was opposed by Asuna herself.

For Asuna, what she wants to do now is to level up and then fight the BOSS. If she can't beat it, she will continue to practice.

She just wanted to finish the game quickly and return to the real world. She didn't care about anything else right now.

Since they themselves had no such intention, Zhao Wu had no choice but to give up. On the second day after Asuna joined, all of them went to the maze area to level up as usual.

Speaking of which, one of the main reasons why Asuna chose to join Zhao Wu and the others was because Zhao Wu and the others had the greatest hope of conquering the game.

Apart from anything else, the fact that the average level is more than five levels higher than others explains a lot of problems. Many players are curious about how these girls leveled up. Even some closed beta players have such doubts.

Asuna is naturally no exception. Since she decided to pick up a weapon, she has basically been either leveling up or on her way to level up.

Even so, her current level was only one or two levels higher than some strategy players, and she was no match for Zhao Wu and others who were around level 20 on average.

So she was also very curious about how Zhao Wu and others usually leveled up.

This doubt completely disappeared when she stood in front of the gate of the BOSS guarding the first floor, and was followed by even greater doubts.

"This... Miss Zhao Wu, are we planning to attack the boss alone today?" Asuna said to the leader Zhao Wu.

"Ah? Attack the BOSS? No, how can we possibly defeat that big guy just by relying on us? Today's main focus is leveling up." Hearing this, Zhao Wu looked at Asuna and said, then she pushed open the door of the BOSS's room.

"This..." Asuna was stunned. She wanted to say something, but the girls around her had already followed Zhao Wu into the BOSS room, leaving her as the only one left.

Oh, she didn't seem to be here last.

"Why, are you surprised?"

A voice came from behind. Asuna turned around and found Zhao Si walking towards her slowly.

"Mr. Zhao Si..." Asuna said to Zhao Si.

"Let's go. Our leveling method is indeed a little different from others. It's too troublesome to explain the specific situation. Anyway, let's go in first. Don't worry, it's okay." Zhao Si said, looking at the confusion on the girl's face.

"....Um."

Upon hearing this, although Asuna was confused, she knew that Zhao Wu and the others were of a real level. She nodded and followed Zhao Si into the BOSS room.

Asuna entered the BOSS room for the first time and before she had time to observe the surrounding structure, at this moment.

"Roar!!"

A roar sounded, and then a huge figure suddenly leaped out from the darkness and landed heavily in front of everyone.

The BOSS guarding the first floor now appears, and its powerful might is fully displayed against the backdrop of electronic data special effects.

Not to mention Asuna, even the girls who had faced the opponent more than once couldn't help but secretly tighten their weapons.

"Brother! Hurry up!" Seeing this, Zhao Wu turned around and shouted loudly to Zhao Si who had just entered the room.

"I know. It's not the first time. Why are you panicking?" Hearing this, Zhao Si said without any anxiety.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhao Wu continued to urge. She saw that soldiers had begun to spawn around the BOSS.

"Mr. Zhao Si?"

Beside Zhao Si, watching Zhao Wu constantly urging Zhao Si, Asuna also focused her attention on Zhao Si. He seemed to be the key to this operation?

"Um?"

Just as she was thinking about it, when Asuna turned her eyes to Zhao Si, she noticed something she had never noticed before.

The level displayed next to Zhao Si’s ID was only a “1”!

"Level 1!?"

Asuna cried out in disbelief, unable to believe what she was seeing.

How could it be level one?

She kept wiping her eyes, thinking she must have seen it wrongly. However, this was a game world, so how could there be such a thing as seeing it wrong?

This is the fact, Zhao Si’s level is level one!

"this...."

Asuna looked at Zhao Si. In her previous thought, since Zhao Si was Zhao Wu's brother, he should be more powerful than Zhao Wu, right?

However, the result was just the opposite. Zhao Wu was one of the highest-level players in the game, while her brother was only level one!

Asuna couldn't understand why this happened. She hadn't seen a level one player for a long time, because even those non-combat players would not be as low as level one.

Who exactly is this Mr. Zhao Si?

Just as Asuna was thinking about it, she saw Mr. Zhao Si, who in her eyes was only at level one, raise his right hand, followed by his calm voice:

"Hidden skill activated—Touch of False Reality."

"Om!!"

As soon as Zhao Si finished speaking, endless white light emerged from the mark on the back of his hand, turning the entire BOSS room into a sea of ​​white light.

Faced with this sudden burst of light, Asuna subconsciously raised her hands to shield her eyes, while at the same time, she couldn't stop wondering.

What exactly is going on?

However, no one could give her an answer, and she knew it herself. So after the light around her gradually faded, she couldn't wait to put down her arms and look at Zhao Si with relief.

The man stood there intact, just as he had been before, untouched by the burst of light. It was as it should be, level one.

"..."

Frowning, Asuna looked at Zhao Si carefully, trying to find something different about him.

After all, it was Zhao Si who made the noise just now. She didn't believe that Zhao Si would not change at all after such a high-profile incident.

However, at this moment...

"Hey, Asuna, what are you doing? Come here quickly. It's time for us to level up." Zhao Wu's voice came. Asuna was stunned when she heard it, and then she reacted.

Yes, they are in the BOSS room now!

Her heart tightened, and Asuna turned around suddenly, wanting to see the situation of Zhao Wu and others. However, after turning her head, Asuna was stunned again.

Zhao Wu and the others were seen standing in the same place as before, but the BOSS that had appeared around them was nowhere to be seen.

"The boss... is gone?"

Asuna was puzzled. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She first looked at Zhao Si, then at Zhao Wu and others. Suddenly, a guess came to her mind, which made her a little unbelievable, but could explain the current situation.

The guess is that the BOSS was destroyed by the white light that just arrived!

The BOSS has been captured! ?

Chapter 494 The Initial Monarch——Zhao Si

Hidden skill - Touch of False Reality.

This is the skill Zhao Si obtained after killing the floor master of the first floor in the false hell.

At the beginning, this thing only appeared on Zhao Si in the form of a mark, and other than that, it seemed to have no information or function.

It was only after Zhao Si came to Aincrad that this mark began to truly reveal the information and abilities it possessed.

This skill is called Touch of False Reality. As the name suggests, its ability is to allow the owner of the skill to touch the barrier between falsehood and reality, thereby entering and exiting the world of falsehood and reality at will.

Of course, the reality here does not refer to the real world, but to Aincrad.

In the world view of this game, the false hell and Aincrad are the corresponding false and realities, and the meaning of this skill simply means that it gives Zhao Si the authority to enter and exit the false hell and Aincrad at will.

And it's not just Zhao Si. Within the skill activation range, as long as the unit is judged by the system to be Zhao Si's friendly unit, it can be brought into the false hell by Zhao Si.

What can I say about this skill? When Zhao Si first learned about its function, the first thing he thought of was that this should be a very good life-saving skill.

Well, when you see that something is not right, you will immediately run to the fake hell for refuge, and then run back after you are done. It will be really difficult to die.

Of course, there are conditions for activating this skill. Unlike other people's skills that consume MP, Zhao Si's skill consumes something extremely important to others.

That is, level.

That’s right, activating the skill of Touch of False Reality consumes Zhao Si’s level.

Every time Zhao Si activates a skill, his level will drop by five, giving him a chance to activate a skill.

And this is exactly why Asuna wonders why Zhao Si is still at level one.

When Zhao Si first came to Aincrad, his maximum level of 100 had been converted into the number of times he could activate the skill. If it weren't for the "level zero" situation, Zhao Si wouldn't have even had one level left.

Even at level one, Zhao Si was able to kill many cultists as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. The reason why he was able to do this involved another magical reason.

Of course, this is a matter that Zhao Si himself currently has only a vague understanding of. In the absence of verification, Zhao Si is not quite sure about his own guess, so he will not discuss it here for the time being.

Now, the reason why Asuna no longer saw the BOSS was naturally because they had all been transferred to the first level of the false hell, so the BOSS in the BOSS room on the first level of Aincrad naturally disappeared.

"Actually, there is such a thing?"

After listening to the explanations of Zhao Wu and others, although Asuna understood it, she still looked at Zhao Si in disbelief.

To be honest, she now suspects that Zhao Si is a developer who participated in the development of this game. Otherwise, how could he trigger such hidden content as soon as he entered the game?

Yes, hidden content. In the eyes of Asuna, Zhao Wu and others, the so-called false hell might be a hidden map with huge content. However, because of a bug, Zhao Si entered this map on the first day of entering the game.

"Although it's unbelievable, this is the fact." Looking at the shock on Asuna's face, Zhao Wu nodded helplessly.

The people who were most surprised by this incident were undoubtedly Zhao Wugen and Erya, the two who had read the original novel. And precisely because they knew the original novel, they were more surprised than others by Zhao Si's situation.

What? You mean a fake hell? What is that? Does it appear in the original novel? You ask me? I can't be there!

"...So, Miss Zhao Wu, what you mean by leveling up is..."

Hearing this, Asuna was silent for a moment, then decided not to pursue the issue and spoke instead.
