This second dimension is too immortal

A big part of the reason why she rejected Zhao Wu's invitation was because she had to manage the guild. The guild created by Kuroyukihime was not small in scale. It was currently second only to the Blood Alliance Knights and was the second largest guild in the strategy group. Its name was "Dark Butterfly", and more than two-thirds of its members were female players.

"Well...if I say it's inconvenient, then I don't have to explain?" Zhao Wu smiled after thinking about it.

"Okay, the people on my side won't have any objections, and other people probably won't have any objections either. After all, you have contributed so much over the years. But that person may not be the case. He may target you." Upon hearing this, Kuroyukihime smiled and said.

After hearing what Kuroyukihime said, Zhao Wu immediately understood who the "he" Kuroyukihime was referring to.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhao Wu looked past Kuroyukihime and looked at the man in the attacking team who was wearing red and white armor and had a serious face.

Heathcliff, leader of the Knights of the Blood.

Everyone in the raiders knew that Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Knights, and Zhao Wu were at odds, and the cause seemed to be because of Asuna?

Well, there might be some truth to this reason, but it's not entirely due to this. In short, Zhao Wu has never had a good face in front of Heathcliff, and it's common for her to go against him.

"Tsk, what's the matter? Does he dare to cause trouble to us? At most he can lead people to fight the boss himself." Zhao Wu said disdainfully with a curl of his lips.

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Kuroyukihime thought about it and found that it was indeed the case, and she immediately became happy.

Putting aside other things, the raiding team had 40 members, and Zhao Wu's team accounted for nearly two-quarters of the quota. In this situation, even if Heathcliff was the leader of the Blood Knights, the largest guild, so what? Including him, only three members of the raiding team were from the Blood Knights. Regardless of what he said, Zhao Wu had the financial resources to ignore him.

Heathcliff was obviously well aware of this. When Zhao Wu and others came to the strategy group, he just frowned and looked at Zhao Wu, then asked her a few questions in a very formal way. When he saw that Zhao Wu ignored him, he didn't say anything else.

Now that everyone is here, the next natural step is to set out to attack the BOSS. There are nearly two hundred people in the group, and they are heading towards the maze area in a mighty manner.

In the team, Kuroyukihime couldn't resist her curiosity after all, and asked Zhao Wu why they were late before.

In response to Kuroyukihime's question, Zhao Wu just smiled a little cunningly in Kuroyukihime's eyes.

Growing more curious, Kuroyukihime hurriedly urged him on.

"Okay, okay, um, I don't know how to explain the specific situation. In short, um, there is something I need your help with later." Zhao Wu said.

"What?" Kuroyukihime asked in confusion.

"The command of this attack is up to that guy Heathcliff, right? I don't want him to be in charge. Help me later, and we'll vote to take the command from him!" Zhao Wu said with a grin.

Kuroyukihime was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"

"It can't be simply because you and Heathcliff don't get along, right? If that's the case, then let me be clear: I can't help you."

In Kuroyukihime's opinion, the conflict between the two would be fine under normal circumstances. Kuroyukihime is familiar with Zhao Si and would definitely help Zhao Wu. But now it is a strategic battle, and changing the commander on the spot cannot be taken lightly. If Zhao Wu cannot give a reason that she can accept, then she will not help.

"What are you thinking about? Am I the kind of person who ignores the overall situation?" Zhao Wu rolled his eyes.

"What's the reason then? I remember you've never been in command, right?" Kuroyukihime asked in confusion.

It's not just Zhao Wu. In fact, because their levels and equipment are too advanced, each of the girls is very strong and an important combat force, so they basically have no desire to be a commander, which to some extent is equivalent to wasting their powerful strength.

"Of course I won't be the commander. You can guess who will be the commander then." Zhao Wu kept it a secret.

"As for the reason, well, it's really hard to explain... Let's just make a promise."

"Promise?" Kuroyukihime was puzzled.

"Yes, I guarantee it." Zhao Wu said, leaning close to Kuroyukihime's ear and whispering something.

As Zhao Wu spoke, Kuroyukihime's expression gradually became surprised.

"Are you serious? Can you guarantee such a thing?" Kuroyukihime looked at Zhao Wu in surprise. If the person who said such a thing was not Zhao Wu, Kuroyukihime would definitely think it was nonsense.

"Of course! Hey, just wait, you will know later, it will definitely surprise you." Zhao Wu said with a grin.

"How about it? Is this reason enough? Will you help me later?" Zhao Wu asked.

"If it's really as you say, and you can do it...Okay, I'll help!"

Hearing this, Kuroyukihime sorted out her thoughts, then took a deep breath and spoke.

After saying this, she glanced at the girls around Zhao Wu with a probing look. She really wanted to know who was the commander who could do such a thing.

A commander who will never let the team suffer losses? Who has such ability?

Chapter 536 Kayaba Akihiko's Doubts

Neither Kuroyukihime nor Zhao Wu were the type to waste time. After agreeing to let Zhao Wu help her seize Heathcliff's command, the two immediately took action.

Finally, after a complicated and meaningless conversation, Heathcliff could only agree to Zhao Wu's request. On the way to the maze area, the strategy team will vote to re-select a new commander.

Naturally, since things have developed according to Zhao Wu's ideas, there is nothing much to say about the subsequent voting results. With the help of Kuroyukihime, Kirito, Klein's Fenghuoshan Forest, and the appeal of Zhao Wu and others who are not much worse than Heathcliff, Heathcliff's command was successfully snatched away by Zhao Wu, and then... handed over to Erya.

Yes, the person in charge this time is Erya. As for why...

For Kuroyukihime, ever since she entered the game and started fighting, she never thought that one day she would see such a scene.

"Team B, retreat four steps."

In the BOSS room, as Erya's calm voice fell, the teams with corresponding numbers hurriedly gave up their original offensive and all followed the voice's command to retreat four steps.

Just when all the members of Team B had just retreated, the boss, who had been knocked into a stiff state, suddenly swung his weapon and smashed it towards the original position of Team B at an angle beyond common sense.

"boom!!"

A huge sound wave swept across, and the place where the BOSS fell was completely shattered, with rubble filling the sky.

Under normal circumstances, if there were an attack like this that came out of nowhere without any pre-animation, even the most astute commander would have to watch his teammates take the damage.

But now, because the commander gave the dodge order nearly three seconds in advance, although the boss's attack was powerful, no one was hurt.

“Gurgle…”

Although they had successfully dodged the attack, the members of Team B couldn't help but swallow their saliva at the sight of the boss's powerful attack. Only one thought remained in their minds.

If such an attack landed on me, I'm afraid I would be killed instantly with just one strike...

As they thought about it, they immediately turned their gaze to the back of the team, their eyes filled with deep gratitude and awe.

There, the commander-in-chief of this strategic operation, Honjo Niya, was standing there. Of course, these people only knew Niya's in-game ID, Honjo Souji.

Erya's face was calm at this moment, as if the command he had just given was not something particularly remarkable.

In fact, for her now, this is really nothing big.

With one hand holding the weapon she had used before, Erya's posture was completely different from before. Apart from some items with nun elements on her body, the most eye-catching thing was the huge book in her other hand.

The pages of the book continued to turn. At the same time, Erya gave another order: "Team C, attack from the side. Team D, prepare for the exchange."

In the past, even if there was a commander-in-chief, there would always be some other voices when each team faced an emergency. However, now only Erya's voice was echoing in the entire BOSS room, and the members of the strategy team who received the instructions also firmly carried out Erya's orders after experiencing a series of situations in the early stage.

"...Unbelievable! How did she do that? And what is that book? Is it a hidden item?"

Kuroyukihime's strength is not only reflected in her superb skills. For example, now, while following Zhao Wu's instructions to attack the BOSS, she can still devote some energy to pay attention to Erya's situation and think about Erya's problems.

The reason why it is incredible is that the instructions just now, which are almost like anticipating the enemy's moves or even predicting the future, are not isolated cases.

From the beginning of the BOSS battle to now, every command made by Erya has effectively predicted the BOSS's actions. Except for some players who have suffered some damage due to their own reasons, basically under Erya's command, the strategy group's damage rate has been infinitely close to zero so far.

Yes, Zero, this is such an incredible thing. In the past, even if we knew the BOSS's information in advance, members would still be injured or even killed due to some unexpected emergencies.

But this time, under Erya's command, none of them has used the recovery items so far.

What kind of concept is this? It can be said that only now did Kuroyukihime finally understand why Zhao Wu had the confidence to say that if they were to take command, there would be no losses or even injuries.

This is no joke! By now, the boss is almost at full health, and no one really needs to use recovery items.

It wasn't just Niya's command that surprised Kuroyukihime. In fact, the speed at which the boss's health dropped in this battle also seemed a bit strange.

Compared to the boss on the previous floor, the health of this boss seems to be dropping a bit fast...

As for the reason... Kuroyukihime silently shifted her gaze to Team A where Zhao Wu and others were.

Looking at Zhao Wu and others who were dealing with the BOSS with great flexibility, Kuroyukihime became more and more curious.

What happened to these people? How could they be completely transformed after just a few days of not seeing them?

This question was not only raised by Kuroyukihime, but also by everyone present except Zhao Wu, Asuna and the others.

Of course, for most players, this doubt may remain an unsolved mystery in their hearts until they successfully complete the game in the future.

"Ho ho ho!!!"

The boss battle continued, but it didn't last long. As Asuna's rapier dropped its last ray of light, the boss let out a mournful wail and turned into a stream of blue data that shattered.

The strategy was successful!

As the prompt of successfully defeating the BOSS appeared before their eyes, everyone in the strategy group felt a sense of unreality as if they were dreaming.

This, this is how we defeat the BOSS?

For the first time, the players who successfully defeated the BOSS did not cheer loudly, but looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

the other side.

"Bang!"

"Wow, I'm so tired. I'm so exhausted. I shouldn't have agreed to let Zhao Si do that thing. It's like this now. This is not even playing a game. I'm so exhausted!!"

Gabriel sat down on the ground, threw aside the weapon that she usually treasured so much, and said while panting.

Not only her, but everyone else was in the same situation. Although they didn't sit on the ground as carelessly as Gabriel, they were also breathing heavily and wiping the sweat off their face.

"Asuna."

While sorting out her situation, Asuna heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Kuroyukihime walking towards her.

"Kuroyukihime, is there anything wrong?" Asuna asked. She probably guessed why Kuroyukihime came.

"...You know it very well, don't you? Asuna, I'm very curious about your secrets." Hearing this, Kuroyukihime looked at Asuna and said bluntly.

"Ahaha...Is that so? But even if you say that, I can't tell you." Asuna said embarrassedly.

Kuroyukihime has a good relationship with them in the strategy group. If it was some other matter, it would be fine, but this time, if Zhao Si didn't agree, it would be difficult for her to explain.

"...Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do." Upon hearing this, Kuroyukihime said helplessly.

Zhao Wu had said before that it was difficult to explain, and now Asuna also said there was no way. It seemed that it really involved something important, so it was understandable that he would not tell her.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Let's talk again when we have time." Kuroyukihime said and waved to Asuna.

Since there was nothing to ask, there was no need for Kuroyukihime to stay any longer. After successfully conquering the 56th floor, the 57th floor was opened. As the guild leader, she still had a lot of things to do.

"Okay, goodbye." Hearing this, Asuna also waved goodbye.

"Kuroyuki-hime? You?"

On the other hand, although this dreamlike process of the strategy was indeed unbelievable, the players in the strategy group burst into excited shouts after they came to their senses.

To some extent, this could be considered an accidental injury to the boss. As players who experienced this feat firsthand, it was difficult to suppress their high emotions at this moment.

Not only that, this time under the command of the new commander, I was able to complete the level without any damage. What about the future? Will it be possible to do the same?

In the minds of the players, this is the first time they feel that the possibility of completing the game has been raised to an unprecedented level, and the hope of victory has come to them!

The players were excited and cheering, but what they didn't notice was that amid their cheers, Zhao Wu and the others had already quietly left the stage without attracting anyone's attention.

Oh, no, someone noticed.

In a corner, unlike the cheering players, the tall and serious man had no expression on his face.

He watched Zhao Wu and the others leave quietly, his gaze fixed on Zhao Wu and Erya for a long time.

"Honjo Souji, Zhao Wu, what kind of existence are you..."

"And that man too, where are you guys from?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and a bitter smile appeared on the man's face.

"Really? In the end, I don't even know what happened to the world I created, or why it became like this."

"Am I really the one who created this world?"

With such doubts, the man named Heathcliff, also known as Kayaba Akihiko, looked at the cheering players in front of him, with no expression on his face.

Chapter 537 Negotiation

Aincrad, the 100th floor.

As the pinnacle of Aincrad, the space on the 100th floor is not very large, only as big as a boss room.

Ruby Palace is the name of the 100th floor and also the name of the BOSS room. As long as players can set foot here in the future and defeat the BOSS, they can truly be liberated from this cage.

Of course, it is still a long time before the players arrive at the Ruby Palace. At this time, there is no one in the Ruby Palace. There is only a tall throne standing in the vast space, waiting for its real owner.

"Dear guest from afar, what brings you here?"

Suddenly, an inaudible voice was heard in the empty room, and a tall figure suddenly appeared on the throne that was originally empty.
