Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Watching the figure disappear, Elf murmured to herself:

"Do all the creatures here disappear like this after they die?"

But before she could think deeply, three people from the rescue team surrounded her.

Although I realized the other party's identity as an 'NPC', I still had to thank him.

After all, you might get a super rare task.

"Thank you so much for helping us."

"You are so amazing, and you can even use magic, can you teach me..."

When faced with a companion who was talking without covering his mouth, the third person stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"I'm sorry, this guy is a bit blunt, please don't take it personally."

In response, Fate simply said:

"Magic is very dependent on one's aptitude. If one does not have it, it is almost impossible to learn it."

What I said was just the truth, not meant to attack the people in front of me.

"That's true."

Instead of being shocked, several people looked as if they had known this.

Because in their opinion, magic must be an extremely rare ability in SAO.

If you want to obtain it, you will need an extremely high level, ability value, or complete a dangerous task.

And considering they couldn't even defeat elite monsters, they still have a long way to go.

If it were easily available, they would already be high-end players.

And seeing that everyone looked relieved, Fate also looked confused.

Did they already know that I had no talent for magic?

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Anyway, I have saved a few people in front of me, it's time to leave.

"If nothing happens, I'll leave first..."

After saying that, Fate was about to get up and leave.

But the last person in the team quickly tried to stop her: "Please wait a moment!"

That person was not one of the three people who had just thanked him.

So the sound did not come from the three members of the team, but from the pit where the monsters were killed.

After hearing the sound, Fate stopped and looked towards the location of the sound.

The last teammate disappeared from the beginning because he found something after the monster was killed, so he jumped into the pit of the killed monster.

I saw him slowly crawling out of the pit.

Then he ran to Fate and opened his palm, revealing an emerald green gem.

"What are you doing?"

Fate naturally recognized what was in front of him, but he didn't understand the meaning of the person's actions.

The man replied, "This is the item that the monster just dropped. Since you defeated it, it should belong to you."

The people in the team beside him also nodded:

"Well, that's true."

"The dropped items belong to the person who killed the enemy. It makes sense."

Everyone's unanimous opinion left Fate at a loss.

It seems like I haven’t received a gift from anyone for a long time.

So she turned to look at Elf, hoping that she could make a decision on this.

Elf held her chin and looked around the gem carefully.

There was no magical fluctuation at all, but there seemed to be another kind of power.

Although it is impossible to determine its purpose, it is certain that it is not a weapon or trap.

So he patted Fate on the shoulder and said, "Since it's your intention to save someone, you should accept it."

"Is it okay? It looks precious."

As far as she could remember, receiving gifts only happened when she was a child.

From then on, my mother would call my name and then put the gifts into my arms.

But I always felt that my mother was calling me 'Alicia'.

Is it an illusion?

"Of course, you can take it. This prop is still too far away for us."

"That's right, we need more practice."

Without saying anything, several people stuffed the emerald gem into Fate's arms, then turned and left.

"He left."

Looking at the backs of several people, Fate murmured.

Elf also commented: "What a group of... generous people?"

“Yeah, but I don’t hate it…”

This reminded her of the brown-haired girl.

The two people who originally didn't know each other were actually fighting for the 'Sacred Stone Seed'.

If she could give up the gems as readily as those people just now, she might have collected most of the 'Holy Stone Seeds'.

No, I should be the bad guy...

Thinking of this, he raised the emerald gem he had just obtained above his head.

The gem was huge for Fate, about the size of her clenched fist.

The sunlight shines through the surface of the gem, refracting countless bright dark green spots.

As beautiful as the emerald Milky Way.

"This should be jade, right?" Fate asked.

"I'm not sure yet. After all, ordinary jade doesn't contain any energy..."

Then Elf added: "In any case, it is worth a lot."

A gemstone that is symmetrical, perfectly shaped and not small can never be bad.

After hearing these words, Fate fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he said:

"I've decided. I'm going to give this gem to my mother..."

Elf's eyes widened.

"Fate, are you serious?"

She didn't think the gems were suitable for the woman, nor did she believe that the woman would like such things.

"Well, the gems are useless to me anyway, if I can make my mother a little happier..."

Well, that's true.

But Elf still felt it was a pity.

After all, the owner is going to give such a beautiful gem to the person he hates the most.

Get angry when you think about it.

After putting the gem away, Fate asked Elf, "I feel like I have a general idea of ​​what's going on here. What do you think, Elf?"

"It's not dangerous, it's even quite safe."

Elf felt that her evaluation of herself was very objective.

After all, this is a world that still uses cold weapons. What threat can it bring to them?

"Yeah, I think so too."

Fate nodded: "Now that the investigation is over, it's time for us to go back."

After saying that, the two of them flew up into the sky at the same time, and returned to the portal along the same route.

Then we passed through the portal and arrived on Earth, Haiming City.

It is still dark here.

Fate noticed the gift box he had left at the edge of the building, which contained the gift that was originally intended for his mother.

After thinking about it, he picked it up again.

Now that she has two gifts, I guess her mother will be happy too...?

She asked herself this, but even she was not very clear.

Forget it, forget it.

So Fate said to Elf: "Let's go."

"Dimensional teleportation, target location, space-time courtyard."

As the voices rang out, a magic circle appeared under their feet.

The next second, they disappeared.
