Maple: I can see hidden messages

Three o'clock in the morning.

Kirito appeared outside the main gate of the castle lord's mansion with the girls.

Including Kirito, everyone has a red magic mark on the back of their right hand, which is proof of the chain of life.

"Action!".

With Kirito's order.

Risa Shiramine shot the arrow that had been transformed from the Infinity Blade (clone).

The arrows flew quickly towards the ordinary soldiers guarding the city gate, and when the arrows were less than twenty meters away from the soldiers, they suddenly split thousands of arrows and shot several ordinary soldiers at the gate into hedgehogs.

Meanwhile.

Matthew, holding a shield, also appeared in the gatehouse in a flash, kicking the red door in front of him with one kick.

[Ding!].

[Urgent Notice: The Great Maple Knights have launched an attack on the Lord's Mansion.] Players in the Initial City are requested to immediately go to the Castle Lord's Mansion to assist in defending the city. Upon success, all participants will receive 1,000 Fame Points. For every member of the Great Maple Order killed, you will be rewarded with 1 gold and 100 Fame. Note: Players who participate in the defense of the city can be resurrected in the Resurrection Temple after death without any punishment. 】

....

A piercing system prompt instantly woke up the players in Initial City.

Player A: What the hell, it's noisy in the middle of the night!

Player B: It looks like the Great Maple Knights are attacking the Lord's House.

Player A: it, it's awesome! Establish a guild during the day and attack the city at night, it's too fast!

Player B: No way, who makes the family strong! Six of the top 10 people on the leaderboard of the last event joined the Great Maple Knights.

Player A: Well, the rewards seem to be pretty generous.

Player B: Don't do anything stupid, no matter how good the reward is, you have to take it, you don't want to die.

Player A: The system has said that there is no death penalty, what am I afraid of!

Player B: You're not afraid that the Great Maple Knights will retaliate against you afterwards?

Player A: Huh, funny! I'm not a big guy, they know which onion I am. Besides, I'm going to mix up the participation awards, and I'm not going to kill people, so why should they retaliate against me.

Player B: You seem to have a point.

Player A: Absolutely. After taking the participation prize and exchanging it for game currency, we don't have to sleep on the street. Afraid of retribution, they covered their faces so that they would not recognize us.

Player B: Good idea. Let's go, go with the prestige!

........

The same conversation played out throughout the Initial City, with a large number of homeless players flocking to the Castle Lord's Mansion for mixed rewards.

The other side.

Kirito leads the girls into the lord's mansion.

According to Yuna's plan, the Aizawa Azusa team was left at the gate of the Castle Lord's Mansion to prevent the players who came to support the system mission.

Then leave the Mailu team to clean up the NPC soldiers in the courtyard on the first floor.

Kirito continued to attack with the others.

There are two entrances to the courtyard on the second floor.

Kirito chose one at random.

Come to the entrance.

They were greeted by a rain of arrows fired by 500 archers.

Maplew and Matthew stepped forward immediately.

Shields the people.

Jingle Bell....

The arrows kept hitting the shields of the two men, making a crisp sound.

-1。

-1。

-1。

......

Numbers symbolizing damage kept floating out of Mepru's head.

Matthew, on the other hand, was unscathed.

Mei Pulu couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Matthew, why haven't you been forcibly deducted blood!".

Matthew casually explained, "I'm using a parrying shield. The advantage of this type of shield is that it can reduce the opponent's attack by a percentage, and when the block effect reaches 100%, it will achieve the effect of full immunity to attack. The weakness is that the effect of the block is limited to the shield itself. "

After hearing what Matthew said, Mei Pulu's eyes lit up: "It's amazing! I asked Brother Kiritto to give me such a shield when I turned around." "

While Matthew and Maplew were talking.

Risa Hakumine and Mitheri have cleared the archer NPCs from the walls and roof.

Kirito said to Mepru, "Mapleu, you lead the team to clean up the NPC soldiers in the courtyard on the second floor, and I will lead the team to attack the next courtyard." "

Mei Pulu nodded happily: "Brother Kirito go quickly, I guarantee that none of the NPCs here can escape!"

Kirito takes Mitheri, Matthew, and Kasumi on.

The last courtyard has three entrances, and Kirito chose the middle one.

Come to the entrance.

It's still a rain of arrows baptism of hundreds of archers.

Matthew immediately raised his shield to block the attack for Mitheri, who also used magic to fight back, and there were many fewer archers here than before, and they were quickly cleared by Mitheri.

Breach the gate of the last courtyard.

Kiritto left Mithri, Matthew, and Kasumi behind to clean up the NPC soldiers in the yard.

He walked alone to the castle where the lord lived!

Come to the entrance of the castle.

Kirito activated the [Red Dragon Soul Ring].

In the charged state, the ruby on the ring gradually emits an eerie red light.

A green progress bar also appears above Kirito's head.

After 40 seconds, the charge is complete!

Kirito walks into the castle!

The first floor of the castle is something like an auditorium, with a red carpet at its feet, flags on the walls, and 50 heavily armored soldiers standing guard around it.

Kirito was found to have barged in.

The heavily armored soldiers immediately rushed towards him.

The amplification effect of [Red Dragon Soul Ring] was activated against the interpreter, and the strange red light quickly disappeared into the interpreter.

The next second!

The body of the interpreter's sword emitted a dark red light. At the same time, its attack power has increased by 16 times, reaching 11200 points!

Kicker complete!

The heavily armored soldiers in the auditorium happened to come to Kirito.

The corners of Kirito's mouth rose, and he said proudly, "It's just right, let me use you to try the effect!"

Kirito swung the interpreter in his hand 13 times per second, and it took less than a minute to kill all the heavily armored soldiers who came close to him.

When the last of the heavily armored soldiers turned into fluorescent and disappeared from Kirito's eyes, the golden leaves scattered on the carpet suddenly flew up and attacked him.

Kirito danced again, and the interpreter in his hand chopped up the leaves that flew towards him, but suddenly a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

Sure enough!

There are more and more golden leaves.

It soon reached an almost overwhelming effect.

Kiri's heart moved:

These leaves can't be the leaves of the golden cinnamon, right?

Kirito remembers that there was an NPC named 'Alice' in Sword Art Online. Her ability to use the Sword of Cinnamon is to summon the leaves of Cinnamon to attack enemies.

Is it .......

Is the lord of the Initial City Alice?

At this moment, the amplification effect of the Red Dragon Soul Ring suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same time, Alice, dressed in golden armor, also appeared in front of Kirito, she raised her arms flat, and pointed at Kirito's branch with the branch in her hand: "Knight, it's too late for you to give up now!".

Sure enough!

Kiritoshi sighed.

This time, I have never seen the loss of golden laurel leaves!

When the golden laurel leaves began to float in the auditorium, Kirito thought it was a game effect!

Give up?

Kirito flatly refused: "Impossible!".

Alice sighed slightly, showing a regretful expression: "What a pity! Then, please die!".

With Alice's voice, a large number of golden laurel leaves rushed towards Kirito, engulfing his body in an instant.

Thinking that victory was in her hands, Alice turned and walked towards the throne in the depths of the auditorium.

She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around and looked at Kirito who was surrounded by golden laurel leaves with an incredulous expression: "Why can't the golden cinnamon leaves cause you harm?".

Kirito explained with a smile, "Your abilities are interesting. But in the end, it's a physical attack. I have the Freedom of Possession skill. So, they can't hurt me!".

After the explanation.

Kirito quickly rushed towards Alice.

When!

Alice used the branch in her hand to block the interpreter in Kirito's hand.

The collision between the two produced a large number of sparks.

Kirito was a little surprised: "It's an artifact, this is the first time I've met a guy who can block the interpreter!".

Alice didn't respond, but her face became more and more solemn.

Kirito is twice as fast as Alice, but she can rely on her swordsmanship and the help of the golden laurel leaf to dodge Kirito's attacks again and again.

The two exchanged for nearly ten minutes.

Kirito only hit her three times, and the damage caused was only 2000+, which can only be regarded as a skin wound compared to Alice's 15W HP.

How else is this fighting?

Kirito's heart became flustered.

Do you have to wait for the girls to clean up the NPC soldiers outside and come over to help?

But.

So.

Isn't it very shameless to be the head of the regiment?

It is impossible to use the [Red Dragon Soul Ring] in front of Alice, and the golden laurel leaves flying in the sky can interrupt the charging state of the [Red Dragon Soul Ring] anytime and anywhere.

Just when Kirito was almost out of options.

He suddenly remembered the [Forbidden Hand] mentioned in the hidden message of the [Red Dragon Soul Ring].

It is said that the artifacts are all created by the gods themselves, and they have powerful powers that cannot be used by humans. In order for humans to use these artifacts, the gods sealed the power of the artifacts.

The so-called forbidden hand is the seal of the temporary artifact, releasing the original power of the artifact. It's just that each artifact has a different way of lifting the seal.

The method of lifting the Red Dragon Soul Ring is even more difficult to explain, it turns out to be: kneading the European faction.

Come to think of it.

Kirito couldn't help but shake his head: "How can there be a European pie here to make me ......."

Wait a minute!

Kirito's gaze instantly locked on Alice on the other side: Isn't there one in her?

Moreover, the other party is just an NPC, a string of system data, even if you do a little too much, you don't have to have a psychological burden.

More importantly, by doing so, he can save face as the head of the regiment. Otherwise, the girls will come in a while. I didn't even defeat the city lord, which is too embarrassing.

Apparently.

Between being ashamed and not being human.

Kirito chose the latter!

Using the Transformation Skill obtained from the Slime King, Kirito extends his right arm, making Kirito's body immune to all physical attacks without holding the Interpreter.

Neither the branches in Alice's hands nor the leaves scattered around could stop them.

Soon.

Kirito touched where he wanted to touch.

[Ding!].

[The artifact you hold: Red Dragon Soul Ring, has met the forbidden hand conditions, whether to release it!The effect can last for ten minutes!].

Kirito shouted without hesitation, "Release!"

[Ding!].

[Forbidden Release: All your attributes have been increased by 16 (max amplification multiplier) x 73 (cup) times. And, during the release of the forbidden hand, it is doubled at a frequency of once every 10 seconds for a duration of 10 minutes!].

Once the kicker is complete.

Kirito found that his lowest stat was 13,9200.

it!

That's an awesome increase, isn't it?

Just when Kirito was shocked by the exaggerated amplification of the forbidden state.

Alice was already angry and rushed towards him: "Bastard.... Rogue..... You give me death!".

The figures are staggered.

A red number symbolizing harm floated out of Alice's body.

- Critical hits!

- Spike!

-1，9390，5600！

Nani?

Look at the numbers above your head.

Alice was stunned until her body disappeared completely, and she couldn't utter a word.

[Ding!].

[Congratulations on killing Castle Lord: Alice and getting an exclusive set!" (This set is only awarded to the first player to kill Alice for the first time.] ）】
