This second dimension is too immortal

Oh no! What kind of bug is that? It's simply because Zhao Si is only level one, and Asuna's rapier attributes focus more on agility than damage. The combination of the two makes it seem like it's scraping more powerful, right?

Putting aside other things, Zhao Wu dared to guarantee that the damage Zhao Si dealt at this moment combined might not be as high as the damage she could deal by casually using two skills.

There is no way, the first-level attributes are too weak in front of the BOSS defending the floor!

The girls gathered together to discuss Zhao Si's situation, and the previous anxiety and tension were no longer visible on their faces.

The appearance of Zhao Si seemed to give them a reassurance, and the tension and fear in their hearts immediately disappeared.

It was obvious that they didn't inform Zhao Si to attack the BOSS before this because they were afraid that Zhao Si's level was too low and if he was not careful, he might be killed.

However, now, they watched Zhao Si dealing with the BOSS alone, and saw that the situation was exactly the same as when Zhao Si dealt with the elite monster alone before. Their tense hearts slowly relaxed, and they sighed at the same time.

As expected of Mr. Zhao Si, he is always so reliable.

While everyone was having all kinds of thoughts, the battle on Zhao Si's side was far from over.

"You are truly powerful, Trialist. In terms of skill alone, you are undoubtedly the most powerful person I have ever met. It's a pity that this battle isn't decided by skill alone."

On the field, the BOSS slowly pulled out the wild sword that was stuck in the ground, turned to look at Zhao Si and said.

Its expression was vivid, its words were clear, and what it said was completely in line with the situation it was in. Everything about it made it look like a real living thing, not some virtual creation.

Zhao Si stared at the BOSS in front of him for a while, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he continued with the BOSS's words: "Indeed, if it were just me, I might not be able to kill you even if I fight for another two hours, but..."

When Zhao Si said this, he paused for a moment, and then a cunning look appeared on his face.

"But this battle didn't seem to be a one-on-one duel from the beginning, right?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the BOSS was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to come to his senses suddenly, staring intently at Zhao Si and the girls who had come to Zhao Si while they were talking.

That’s right, from the very beginning, this battle was not a one-on-one duel between Zhao Si and the BOSS, but a battle to attack the BOSS on the first floor of Aincrad!

This was never a one-man battle, and Zhao Si never said that this was a one-man battle. He just saved Asuna and demonstrated to her how to fight.

And what comes next is the real BOSS strategy battle!

Zhao Si weighed the rapier in his hand, looked at Asuna who had come to his side, held her weapon across her face, and asked, "How is it? Did you understand what I just demonstrated?"

Hearing this, Asuna met Zhao Si's gaze, pursed her lips, then reached out to take the rapier Zhao Si handed over and nodded with a firm expression.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao Si, I won't make the same mistake again."

"Everyone makes mistakes." Zhao Si said, touching Asuna's hair.

"But as long as we can correct it and learn from it, that's enough."

Feeling the touch on her head, Asuna was totally surprised by Zhao Si's behavior. She then slowly lowered her head and said softly, "Yes..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, watching the interaction between the two, the girls had different reactions and were communicating with each other.

"Mr. Zhao Si, I always feel that he is a great brother, strict but gentle, and very reliable... Oh, by the way, Kirino-chan, didn't you say that you also have a brother? Is he the same type as Mr. Zhao Si?" Saori said, and suddenly turned to look at Kirino beside her.

"Ha? Are you kidding me? How can that guy be compared with Mr. Zhao Si? There's absolutely no comparison, okay?" Upon hearing this, Kirino thought of her brother and showed a bit of disgust on her face.

After saying this, she recalled everything in real life, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Damn it! Why are other people’s brothers so outstanding?

Look at Xiao Wu, and then look at myself. It is said that Komari also has a brother who treats her quite well. Ahhhhh, this is so annoying!

At this time, as a younger sister, Zhao Wu's focus was completely different.

I saw her huddled together with Erya, talking in low voices about a topic that only the two of them could discuss.

"Let's be honest. Do you think my brother is deliberately trying to win Asuna's favor?"

"Of course she did. Apart from anything else, Asuna definitely has some feelings for Zhao Si now. But if you want to know if Zhao Si did it on purpose... let's be honest, this has nothing to do with whether it was intentional or not, right? Putting aside Zhao Si's attitude of letting things take their course, under the circumstances before, there was no way he wouldn't have saved Asuna, right?"

"Yeah... that's true. A man saving a woman. The hero saving the beauty plot never gets outdated. If I remember correctly, those who like my brother seem to have more or less had the experience of being saved by him."

Zhao Wu squinted his eyes at Erya and said, "Including you."

If it were anyone else, they would probably panic immediately after hearing what Zhao Wu said, and would either shyly deny it or keep their head down and remain silent.

But who is Erya? The old guy just looks indifferent.

Say it, say whatever you want, I don’t even care about my cup size, so why would I be afraid that you would say who I like?

What's wrong with me just liking Zhao Si?

And at the same time, on the other side.

"Ah, that's right. As you are trial participants, you can naturally go together."

Looking at Zhao Si and the others before him, the boss nodded and said, "Come on, then! Trialists who wish to reach the pinnacle of Aincrad, experience my power as a monarch!"

"boom!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the BOSS stomped the floor beneath his feet, leaped high into the air with his huge body, and rushed towards Zhao Si and the others with a huge sense of oppression.

Chapter 502: Does this game actually have familiars, things that don’t have swords at all?

It has been quite some time since the successful conquest of the first floor of Aincrad. During this period, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the conquest team, the conquest progress of Aincrad has currently stopped at the 30th floor.

Except for the first floor when Zhao Si participated in the strategy of the floor BOSS, he basically did not participate in the subsequent ones.

As for why I didn’t participate, there are many reasons, but the main reason is always that one word: scratch!

Zhao Si was really too tough. As the level of the floor boss increased, the damage Zhao Si could cause to the boss gradually decreased. On the contrary, the threat the boss posed to Zhao Si continued to increase.

After all, this is a world made up of data. As long as it is data, there will always be a set threshold. It is impossible for Zhao Si to avoid all attacks.

For this reason, Zhao Si later gave up the plan to attack with Zhao Wu and the others, and instead used his advantage of being in the fake hell to train Zhao Wu and the others.

Speaking of the false hell, after successfully defeating the BOSS in Aincrad and opening the passage between the first and second floors, Zhao Si discovered that he could also reach the second floor on the false hell side.

You should know that before, Zhao Si had tried several times to find the passage to the second level of the false hell, but he failed.

He didn't expect that this was actually related to the progress of the strategy in Aincrad.

It's worth mentioning that after Zhao Si entered the second layer of the false hell, his actions seemed to be identified as an invasion by the second layer's monarch, who attacked him. And the result...

Well, in short, Zhao Wu and the others were taken to the fake hell by Zhao Si that day to familiarize themselves with the attack methods of the second-level BOSS, and to prepare early for the future battle against the second-level BOSS.

Of course, considering the situation of the BOSS defending the first floor, when the battle to attack the BOSS defending the second floor started, Zhao Si also went to see the situation at that time.

The good news was that the situation with the first-tier boss seemed to be a special case. Although the second-tier boss was stronger than the first-tier boss in terms of statistics, its intelligence remained at a normal level, and it did not give Zhao Si the same vivid feeling as the first-tier boss.

Because of this, the pressure brought to the strategy team by the second-level BOSS is not even as great as that brought by the first-level BOSS.

Without much effort, the team, who had already learned about the boss's situation through the strategy manual, successfully conquered the second floor without any deaths and officially advanced to the third floor of Aincrad.

And the third, fourth, and fifth floors...

With the help of Zhao Si, Zhao Wu and others would always figure out the BOSS on their floor before the battle started, and then they would spread the news to other players through Agor.

Because of this, the strategy group made rapid progress and soon reached the 25th floor.

The 25th floor, originally set in the original novel, had a significantly increased difficulty every 25 floors. Although they had learned the boss's detailed information in advance, the battle was still very difficult for the team.

In the end, at the cost of twenty casualties, the strategy team finally completed the strategy for the 25th floor and continued to advance.

As for Zhao Si, after confirming that the later BOSSes would not be as highly "intelligent" as the first-level BOSS, he basically stopped worrying about the strategy.

Of course, others are busy with strategy preparation and leveling up, but Zhao Si is neither leveling up nor planning strategy preparation, so what does he usually do?

False Hell, the 30th level.

"Good, that's it."

Standing up and clapping his hands, Zhao Si looked at the circular pattern in front of him, which could barely be seen as a magic circle. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although it looks a bit "crude", the brilliance on it shows that this thing is indeed usable.

Well, it's fine as long as it works. For Zhao Si, a guy with basically negative talent for formations, being able to create a formation in "only" one day is simply a stroke of luck.

"Your Majesty, what are you planning to do with this...magic circle you created?"

A young girl beside Zhao Si asked curiously. The girl had medium-length red hair, a characteristic of the Fanalis people, and was wearing a white dress that exposed her arms.

The girl's name is Morgiana. She is a member of the Fanalis tribe who was brought back by Mylo (Mu's sister) during one of her trips to the mainland.

Yes, although they were summoned to the false hell by Zhao Si, the people of the Fanalis Corps can actually return to the mainland through the magic array they used to come here.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Si took action at this time.

Since I can't go to the mainland, can't I just summon the beings on the mainland?

With this idea in mind, when Zhao Si had nothing to do, he would study the magic array behind the stone gate to see if he could replicate it.

After hearing Morgana's question, Zhao Si smiled slightly and explained, "I plan to see if I can summon the creatures from the continent you originally came from."

"I'm very curious about the situation on the continent. Although I've learned a lot from you, as Mu once said, the Dark Continent you're in only occupies less than one-fifth of the entire continent. You know very little about other areas."

"So, can this magic array summon people from other areas?" Upon hearing this, Morgiana asked curiously.

For Morgana, who was a slave before coming here, she knew very little about the Dark Continent, let alone the situation outside the Dark Continent, so it was understandable that she would be curious about this.

"Well, about this, since I set the range of the magic array to the entire continent, theoretically the people summoned may be from other places, or they may be from the continent you originally belong to." Zhao Si said.

"But it's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, we can just summon people a few more times. We can always summon people from other areas."

After saying that, Zhao Si looked at the magic array he had carved with great interest. He seemed to have never thought about this question - whether the magic array he carved could be used for repeated summoning as he said.

"Okay, hurry up, go and ask Mu and the others to drag the big guy out of the maze area. If you want to use anything related to mystery in this broken place, you must use some special means." Zhao Si said to Morgana.

Like Aincrad, the False Hell is shrouded in a forbidden magic area. If you want to use the power of magic in it, you must take some special measures.

For example, sacrifice.

The reason why Zhao Si was able to return to Aincrad was that he sacrificed the floor master of the first floor of the false hell. This temporarily offset the effect of the forbidden magic field and allowed him to return to Aincrad through the reverse summoning circle.

And now, Zhao Si also planned to use the same method to operate the magic array in front of him. He was ready to sacrifice the master of the 30th floor who he had not had time to kill.

"Oh, okay, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Morgana nodded and walked away barefoot.

After Morgiana left, Zhao Si squatted down again, wanting to see if there was anything else that needed improvement in the magic array.

Just when...

"Drip drip"

"Um?"

Looking at the game chat panel that suddenly popped up in front of him, Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the content on it.

The information came from Zhao Wu. Although she was now in Aincrad and Zhao Si was in the false hell, there would be no problem in communication.

At this time, Zhao Wu went to find Zhao Si because...

"How to revive the familiar?"

Looking at the message sent by Zhao Wu, Zhao Si was slightly stunned.

Familiar? Is it the kind of familiar I have in mind?

So this game actually has familiars, which aren't swords at all?

Chapter 503 Side Quest

"This is the situation, so do you have any ideas, brother?"

In a tavern, Zhao Wu and Zhao Si sat opposite each other, and next to her was a petite-looking girl who was no more than thirteen years old.

Just now, Zhao Wu explained the whole story to Zhao Si. To put it simply, the girl Zhao Wu loved had, by chance, acquired a familiar. Then, something unexpected happened, and the familiar died protecting its master.

Then, the girl was rescued by Zhao Wu and others who were passing by. After learning about the girl's situation, they decided to help the girl find a way to revive her familiar.

Well, there's nothing wrong with helping others, the problem is...

"What can I do? If you hadn't told me, I might not even know that there are such things as familiars in this game. Isn't this a world of swords and knives?" Zhao Si said as he looked at the girl next to Zhao Wu.

The girl had brown hair tied into twin ponytails and was wearing a red outfit, a common sight in Aincrad. According to Zhao Wu, the girl's name was Silica.

After hearing Zhao Si's answer, the slight expectation on Silica's face disappeared instantly. She lowered her head in frustration, looking like she was about to cry.

"Ah? That's impossible. Even you can't do anything about it? Is this true?" Zhao Wu said with some disbelief.

Who was Zhao Si? He was the ruler of the first thirty levels of the False Hell. Thirty whole levels! If it were Aincrad, that would be one-third of the game's content. And yet, there wasn't even a method or item to revive a familiar?

"Generally speaking, if you can't find the props to resurrect the familiar, then it will be impossible for me to find it either." Zhao Si said.

The False Hell and Aincrad are two mirror-connected worlds. Basically, whatever is in Aincrad will also be in the False Hell, and even the location will not change.

So, if Zhao Wu and the others haven't found the items that can revive familiars in the first thirty floors of Aincrad, then they should not expect to find the items in the false hell.
