And on the land where it walked, there were hideous gullies and various traces of burning and breaking everywhere, foreshadowing the fierce battle that had once taken place on this land.
"Roar..."
As they were walking, suddenly, the pitch-black tiger beast let out a low roar, and a trace of vigilance and alertness appeared in its scarlet eyes.
As if it sensed some kind of threat, it crouched down, its muscles tensed and its teeth bared, as if it was ready to attack at any moment. Its huge head kept turning, trying to find a target that made it feel dangerous.
"Zheng!!"
The tiger beast's intuition was not wrong. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard between heaven and earth, like a sword being unsheathed. A slender white stream of light fell from the sky at an incredible speed, almost just a moment slower than the time when the sound was heard, and it descended on the black tiger beast, piercing its body and breaking a hideous huge hole.
"boom!!"
The white light continued to move forward, and after piercing through the black tiger beast, it went straight into the black earth, directly shattering the area of dozens of meters around the tiger beast.
Although the black tiger beast had anticipated this, it failed to react and disappeared in the white light without even being able to let out a scream.
And when everything calmed down and the dust faded away, the white light revealed its true form.
It was a sword, completely transparent. At first glance, it didn't look like anything special, but the cracks spreading in all directions under the sword made people clearly feel the power contained in it.
"Buzzing..."
As if someone was calling it, the sword suddenly trembled slightly, and the sword body was slowly pulled out from the ground.
At this moment, a shocking scene appeared. As the sword was pulled out, the black earth seemed to suddenly "come alive". Everything on the ground seemed to have turned into a black sticky liquid, surging like boiling water.
"call out!!"
There was a sound of breaking wind, and the black "earth" suddenly extended a black tentacle and lashed towards the transparent sword that had not yet been completely drawn out.
With a "bang", the long sword that had killed the black tiger beast with one blow and shattered the ground for more than ten meters suddenly shattered and turned into white light and dissipated.
Although the transparent longsword had been destroyed, the surge of the earth did not stop. It was like a hideous and terrifying beast, and the previous attack of the transparent longsword successfully awakened the beast from its slumber.
“Roar, roar, roar!!” “Cry!!” “Hiss!!” “Ahhhhh!!!”
For a moment, just like the tentacles appeared before, the black viscous liquid on the ground continued to condense into hideous monsters. The monsters howled to the sky, and then cast their scarlet gazes in the same direction at the same time.
It is a huge towering and continuous city wall. Looking down from the sky, you will find that the scenery on the other side of the wall is different from the black earth. It is a vibrant scene, and the wall is like the lines on the Tai Chi diagram that divide the yin and yang sides.
At this time, on top of the city wall.
Looking down at the land outside the city wall that seemed to have come alive, even Zhao Si couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Will all the lands occupied by those... uh, they're called Xu people, right? Will they become like this?" Zhao Si asked Teng Linxing beside him.
Three days have passed since he returned from the Sword Art Online game world. Due to some things, Zhao Si focused on other things after visiting the battlefield world once on the first day after returning to confirm the situation.
It was not until three days later that Zhao Si finally finished dealing with other things and could explore this battlefield world that he had been very concerned about for a long time.
"Well, these things are very troublesome. Although their strength is nothing compared to those illusory individuals, they are just as troublesome or even more troublesome." Fujibayashi An said, looking outside the city wall.
Following Zhao Si's previous tentative attack, the Xu clan that kept appearing had gathered in considerable numbers and were heading towards the city wall.
"Though these creatures aren't difficult to kill, and they don't have the ability to quickly recover from indirect attacks like the Voids, their numbers are enormous. The black 'land' will rapidly multiply the number of Voids. The speed at which we kill them will never match the speed at which they are created."
"Moreover, these things have the ability to fuse, strengthen and imitate. Although the imitation can only be regarded as the form but not the meaning, it is still very troublesome." Teng Lin Xing carefully told Zhao Si the relevant information about the battlefield world.
"Sister Xing, Sister Xing, the nearest Xuyi are almost at the gate of the city. Should we launch an attack?"
At this moment, a girl with white wings on her back suddenly flew down and said to Fujibayashi An.
"Hello, Brother Zhao Si." After reporting the situation to Xing, the girl looked at Zhao Si standing beside her. She smiled shyly and said.
"Hello, thank you for your hard work." Hearing this, Zhao Si responded with a gentle smile.
"No, no, it's not hard at all. I'm very happy to be able to help you all..." Upon hearing this, the girl immediately smiled and said in a joyful tone.
For these children, receiving recognition from Zhao Si makes them happier and more satisfied than any reward, and it is enough for them to show off to their friends for several days.
"Are you here? In that case..."
After listening to the girl's report, Fujilin Xing nodded and was about to order the Chosen Children defending on the city wall to launch an attack. However, before she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Si waving his hand.
"No need, Xing, let the little guys continue to rest, and leave these guys to me." Zhao Si said, turning his gaze to the Xu clan who were surging like a tide.
"Uh, but..." Teng Lin Xing wanted to say something, but then Zhao Si suddenly took the initiative to hold her hand: "You guys have been fighting all this time. Now that I'm back, you should at least give me a chance to show my skills, right?"
"You...you...I..."
Looking at Zhao Si and feeling the thickness of Zhao Si's palm, Teng Linxing was stunned at first, then her face slowly turned red and her voice became a little stuttering.
"It's settled then. You guys have a good rest and then it's my turn to perform." Looking at Teng Linxing's helpless performance, Zhao Si couldn't help but chuckle and said as he let go of Teng Linxing's hand.
Feeling that Zhao Si had let go of her hand, Teng Linxing was stunned for a moment, then she immediately came to her senses. Then an angry expression appeared on her face, and she raised her pink fist and hit Zhao Si.
"Zhao! Si! You bastard!"
"Ahem, okay, okay, I'll go first!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Si immediately flew out of the city wall.
Although Fujibayashi Xing really wanted to teach this guy a lesson right now, she didn't chase after him.
"Hmph! Just wait, I'll make you suffer sooner or later!" Teng Linxing said with a snort as she watched Zhao Si flying away.
"Sister Xing, are we really not going to launch an attack?" The girl next to Xing said with some concern.
"What else? That guy said so." Fujibayashi Xing shrugged and said.
Although Zhao Si was very annoying just now, when it comes to worry, Teng Linxing is not really that worried.
After all, even she, who was in the late Jindan stage, could move freely among these Xu clans, let alone Zhao Si, who was in the Yuanying stage.
As if to confirm what Fujibayashi An said, just as she finished speaking, although it was clearly daytime, a sky full of "stars" suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
The "stars" were shining, and before the two could figure out what was happening, countless transparent sword rains fell on Xu Yi's head like a rainstorm.
The next moment, the waves composed of Void Clan members on the ground in front of the two people began to "surge" again, like the surface of a lake under heavy rain.
Chapter 562 Father and Daughter Reunion
Back to the day when Aincrad was conquered, Number Six reorganized the surface world.
“Sizzle!! Bang!!”
In the laboratory, accompanied by a loud explosion, the helmet-like device exploded instantly.
"Ahem...or, failed? Kayaba Akihiko is really a freak."
The middle-aged man covered his mouth and nose with one hand and used the other hand to disperse the thick fog in front of his eyes. He looked at the rotten virtual stealth device on the machine tool and couldn't help but say.
The man's name was Tetsuhiro Shigemura, a professor of electrical and electronic engineering at the Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan. As a researcher, he had once embarked on a research project as important as Kayaba Akihiko's research on virtual stealth technology: augmented reality, commonly known as AR.
However, after that incident, Shigemura Tetsuhiro had to abandon his original research project and instead devote himself to the research of virtual stealth technology.
So the question is, why did Shigemura Tetsuya give up his original research for no reason?
"..."
Looking at the rotten virtual stealth equipment in front of him, Shigemura Tetsuhiro was silent for a while, and silently took out a photo from his pocket.
It was a photo of two people. One of them was obviously Shigemura Tetsuhiro, who looked a few years younger than he is now, and the other was a young girl.
She is the daughter of Tetsuhiro Shigemura, and she is also the reason why Tetsuhiro Shigemura gave up his original research and turned to researching virtual stealth technology.
Shigemura Yuna, this is the name of the older woman of Shigemura Toru, and she is also one of the victims of the virtual stealth accident a year and a half ago.
As a scientific researcher, after learning that his daughter was trapped in a virtual world, Toru Shigemura immediately began researching virtual stealth technology, intending to rescue his daughter from that virtual world.
While VR and AR focus on different areas, they do share significant overlap. As a leading figure in AR research, Shigemura Tetsuhiro has achieved remarkable results in just over a year.
However, even so, all of Shigemura Tetsuhiro's attempts to open the virtual world of Sword Art Online have failed without exception.
Although he had achieved considerable technical results, after all, Kayaba Akihiko had been researching in this field for too long and was a genius himself. It would still be quite difficult for Shigemura Tetsuhiro to surpass the Sword Art Online he created.
In fact, Shigemura Tetsuhiro knew very well that it would be difficult to succeed with his current level, but he could not wait any longer.
Not long ago, his daughter, Shigemura Yuna, disappeared from the hospital, vanishing from view without a trace. There are many other people in Japan with similar circumstances, nearly thousands of them missing, and this has attracted considerable attention throughout Japan and around the world.
However, even so, this situation, which seemed like a supernatural event, meant that the police did not find any clues after half a month of field investigation, and finally had no choice but to give up.
Although the police gave up, Shigemura Tetsuhiro did not give up. Although his daughter's body was missing, the condition of her consciousness was still unclear, so he accelerated the pace of his research, hoping to break through the restrictions set by Kayaba Akihiko.
However, sometimes the more anxious people are, the lower the possibility of success. To this day, Tetsuya Shigemura has not succeeded.
"Yuna..."
Sitting on the chair somewhat tiredly, Shigemura Tetsuya stared blankly at the photo of himself and his daughter.
Just then...
"Father!"
His face was stunned, and Shigemura Tetsuhiro felt as if he heard his daughter's voice.
Hallucination?
I've been working intensely for several days straight, and the combination of fatigue and obsession has led to hallucinations. This seems reasonable, except...
"Da da da!!"
"Father!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a clearer and more forceful call, and Shigemura Tetsudai instantly stood up from his chair. His face was agitated, and he turned his head in disbelief.
In the sight, the girl wore a wide white hat and held a guitar-like instrument in her hand. Overall, she looked like a knight from a Western legend.
Is this his daughter Yuna? Judging from her clothes, it doesn't seem so, but the face under the white wide hat that is exactly the same as his daughter's shows that this is his daughter, Toru Shigemura, Yuna Shigemura!
"puff!"
Shigemura Yuna ran towards Shigemura Toruhiro quickly and then dived into Shigemura Toruhiro's arms.
Time goes back to the present, the battlefield world.
"Zheng!!"
A pale sword light flashed, cutting the dark figures in half, and then several sword energies shuttled through, shattering the golden light.
"Oh!"
As they collided with each other, rolling energy swept across, and six blurry figures retreated from the place where the energy wave exploded.
"One against five, it seems a bit difficult."
Retreating to the top of the city wall, Zhao Si looked at the five dark figures facing him from afar.
Judging from the realm alone, the five illusory individuals fighting against Zhao Si all have strength comparable to that of early Yuanying cultivators.
However, even though they are both in the early stage of Nascent Soul, Zhao Si's strength is so strong that he can crush them in a one-on-two situation, he can easily defeat them in a one-on-three situation, he can evenly match them in a one-on-four situation, and he can barely compete in a one-on-five situation.
And the result was natural. Not long after Zhao Si attacked the Xuyi, a number of illusory individuals were attracted by the movement here.
At first, there were some illusory entities at the Jindan stage. After being killed instantly by Zhao Si at the speed of light, illusory entities at the Yuanying stage were attracted. This eventually led to the current situation.
"That's enough, sir. It's almost time to withdraw, otherwise..." A civet cat with vertical pupils between its eyebrows spoke in human language on Zhao Si's shoulder.
"...Well, indeed, let's leave it at that for today." Hearing this, Zhao Si looked at the situation below.
At first, they said that Fujilin Xing and the others didn't need to take action, but after the illusory individuals in the Nascent Soul stage appeared, Fujilin Xing and the others had to resist the remaining Golden Core individuals and the virtual descendants.
There was no way. Zhao Si didn't expect that there would be five Nascent Souls coming from the side of the illusion. He was only able to barely fight against the five Nascent Soul illusions with the help of the little guy on his shoulder. Naturally, he had no energy to deal with other illusory creatures.
"Everyone, I believe it will be difficult for us to determine the winner if we continue fighting like this. Or do you have any helpers who are not here yet? If not, how about we fight until the end today?" Zhao Si shouted towards the five Nascent Soul illusions in the distance.
"Humph! Ridiculous. You say stop and we're done? Boy, you take yourself too seriously." Upon hearing this, a burly man among the five people said.
"Haha, I think it's okay. Anyway, it seems that no matter what, you five can't kill me. And if I pay some price and forcibly kill one of you... this doesn't seem impossible." Zhao Si said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the burly man, as if saying "Yes, I'll kill you."
"Ridiculous! Then let me do it..."
"Number Five, stop!"
After hearing what Zhao Si said, the strong man was about to rush up to fight Zhao Si, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by a tall and thin man among the five people.
"What do you want to do, Number One!" The man called Number Five said with his eyes as big as copper bells.
"That man is right. He is very strong, no less than the elite in the army. He wants to kill you, and we can't stop him." said the tall and thin man.
"Elite? Just him?" Hearing this, the sturdy man said with a grim expression. He knew exactly what the tall and thin man meant by "elite".
Ignoring the burly man, the tall and thin man looked at Zhao Si from a distance, thought for a moment and said, "Boy, are you the leader of these people?"
"It seems that your words are more effective, leader? If you think so, it's fine." Looking at the tall and thin man stopping the strong man, Zhao Si also turned his attention to the other party and said.
"I see. No wonder we were transferred to this place. With something like this around, those trash are really useless." The tall and thin man nodded and muttered to himself.
Then, he looked at Zhao Si again. The man in front of him was not the real body of any of the five of them. If they continued to fight, even if they won, they would not get any substantial benefits.
