……

Although the boss Skeleton Hunter was successfully defeated. But no one was in the mood to celebrate at this time.

From the beginning of the first level boss to the present, the Skeleton Hunter is the most difficult boss they have encountered.

Everyone, who was almost exhausted, lay tiredly on the ground.

"Huh~huh~ This, this guy... Isn't this guy much stronger than the boss on the previous floor?" Klein gasped.

Agil, who was also lying on the ground resting without any image, nodded.

"Yes, I remember that only a dozen or so people were dispatched from the upper level, and the boss was defeated without any casualties."

"How many people did we lose this time?"

Keita, the president of the Black Cat Group, answered.

"Including Kirito, we dispatched a total of fifty-three people this time. And now there are only thirty-nine people left here. Fourteen people were lost."

An adjutant from the Blood Alliance Knights followed.

"If you add in the ten-person reconnaissance team that died while searching for the boss room, we lost a total of twenty-four people trying to conquer this guy."

"It will take at least a year...no, even longer before these guys can get back on the Raiders staff."

"But, if all the next level bosses are of this level... I'm afraid..."

Agil stared blankly at the ceiling of the boss room. Said pessimistically.

"Ah... there are twenty-five floors further up. With the current level of sacrifice... can we really clear this game?"

Hearing Agil's pessimistic remarks, Kirito was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Wait a minute, don't we still have resurrection tools? Even if we die accidentally, don't we still have the chance to do it again, or even many times?"

"It only took us less than a year and a half to reach the seventy-fifth floor. If it takes another year and a half, we will definitely be able to clear the game!"

Kirito's words rekindled the fighting spirit of the players who had become a little pessimistic.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a man wearing Holy Dragon Federation standard armor collapsed and shouted.

"A year and a half? You told me, let's wait another year and a half? What a joke!"

"It's impossible, time, there's not enough time! We don't have enough time at all!"

"Haven't you ever thought about it? How long can our bodies last in reality?"

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at the player who made the sound.

"A real... body?"

It wasn't until this moment that anyone realized that they were just consciously trapped in the game. The body is still in the real world.

The Holy Dragon Federation player continued.

"Kibaou, one of the former high-ranking members of the army, died suddenly in the town more than two months ago. He was not resurrected. He was truly dead!"

"I saw this with my own eyes! Not just me, Lord Diabell of our guild also saw it!"

"And this kind of thing didn't just happen to Kibaou alone, there were many people who died suddenly and inexplicably."

"You are obviously in a town that will never lose HP. There is obviously no warning. The person who was chatting and laughing with you one second suddenly turned into fragments and disappeared in front of you the next second!"

"If this is not a physical accident in reality, what else could it be?"

"Everyone, think about it carefully! Why, there are obviously resurrection items. Why do real dead players appear every month!?"

"Were they really killed by wild monsters?"

"Any monster will drop resurrection items. Even the wild boar outside the novice village is the same."

"Everyone, ask yourselves, if you were to face those wild boars. Even if you go back to level one and only use novice equipment, you would definitely be able to deal with them without any damage!"

"Our bodies in reality can only rely on injections of nutrient solutions to maintain basic life. But how long can this state last?"

"Just over a year has passed and people are starting to die! Who can guarantee that we will live another year and a half?"

"This damn game has been time-limited from the beginning!"

After a long silence.

Dang rang~

I don’t know who’s weapon fell to the ground first.

Then more and more players dropped their weapons. Lying slumped on the ground.

Although there are resurrection tools, I am afraid that my body in reality will not be able to wait for another chance.

Seeing that everyone's mood became more and more desperate, Kirito, who also realized this, subconsciously took a few steps back.

Heathcliff frowned slightly.

These players are indispensable cannon fodder in the script of "Heroes vs. Demons" he designed.

Only with the help of these people, the 'brave' Kirito he chose could step by step break through the tests of all levels and come to face his final boss.

So before they complete their mission, Heathcliff will not allow these players to become decadent.

Just when Heathcliff was about to say some inspirational words to encourage these players, Kirito seemed to have made some kind of determination in his heart, and then spoke.

"Everyone, don't give up, there is still hope for everything!"

After saying that, Kirito enlarged the data interface of the weapon in his hand.

"Do you still remember the day the game was launched, the mysterious man who appeared after Kayaba Akihiko and added resurrection items to the game?"

"I met him again. The two weapons in my hand are evidence!"

"I have the exclusive skill of the Dual Sword Style, and I can equip two main weapons at the same time."

"The two long swords in my hands are the exclusive weapons tailor-made for me by that mysterious man."

"When two weapons are equipped at the same time, exclusive skills that can trigger infinite growth can be triggered."

"You only need to kill wild monsters to permanently increase your attack power. Just give me a little time, give me a little more time! Wait until I can stack the weapon's attack power to 100,000."

"At that time, as long as everyone covers my attack, no matter what boss it is, it will be killed instantly!"

"Please...believe me once!"

Kirito's voice made everyone freeze on the spot. His words were like a shot in the arm, rekindling everyone's fighting spirit.

"Is this...really? The properties of this weapon..."

After seeing clearly the attributes of Kirito's enlarged weapon. Everyone became excited. .

With the two bug-level weapons in Kirito's hands. Any boss will be a bastard.

The crowd burst into loud cheers. Heathcliff's face showed a look of lingering fear.

Fortunately, Kirito exposed his trump card.

Otherwise, if Kirito kills him with a sword at the last moment, his so-called plan will really become a joke.

Klein stood up, grabbed Kirito's neck and said with a smile. "What, Kirito. If you have such good things, you should share them as soon as possible!"

Agil also came over. "That's right, it makes us scared."

At this time, an adjutant from the Blood Alliance Knights asked. "Um...Mr. Kirito, although it's a bit presumptuous, can you tell us where that mysterious man is?"

Kirito was slightly startled, but before he could speak. Heathcliff spoke first.

"Well, that mysterious man has never appeared on his own initiative. He obviously doesn't want to reveal his identity."

"The fact that he is willing to help Mr. Kirito build weapons to help us pass the game as quickly as possible is already the most benevolent thing."

"If you go to find him now, you will lose more than you gain if it arouses the other party's resentment."

"But... Captain, we..."

"No buts," Heathcliff said seriously.

Heathcliff's words barely suppressed the players' curiosity about the mysterious man who made Kirito's equipment.

But there was still one person who didn't give up and secretly asked Kirito and everyone in Yuexia's Black Cat Group relevant questions in private.

However, I recalled that Qin Hao once told him not to tell others that he was the mysterious man.

So Kirito had to make up the story that he thought he met the other party while fishing in the wild.
