People are attacking with blood, inheriting the true ancestor template at the beginning

The first level of Aincrad has no special design.

In addition to the complex and varied terrain such as grasslands, forests, wilderness, and valleys, there are also many towns and villages outside the main district, as if to welcome players with a lively atmosphere that is most suitable for the game.

On the second floor that followed, the previous design suddenly changed. In addition to the round-table-shaped mountains covered by green pasture, most of the animals that appeared were animal-type monsters. The leveling difficulty even made Nangong You feel much easier than the first level.

Because of this, players also jokingly call this second layer, which gives people a ranch-like feel, the cow layer.

As for the third floor that no one has entered yet,…

Nangong You murmured with sudden interest while walking on the spiral stairs leading to the main street on the third floor.

“The second floor is just like this. I wonder if the third floor can bring me some surprises or something.”

“Only you are qualified to say such things….”

The sigh coming from behind also made Nangong You chuckle and shake his head.

Ten days after parting with Kiriko, he unexpectedly received a message from the girl

——She found the Boss room on the second floor!

Now that they have figured out what to do, there is no need to say more. After meeting with Tongzi, the few people directly killed the gatekeeper boss.

“In a sense, this is the real SAO from now on….”

Sighing slightly, Tongzi said with a complicated mood.

After hearing her sigh, the long-brown rapier user walking beside her couldn’t help but asked curiously.

“Really? Why do you say that?”

“Um…Because humanoid monsters will not officially appear until the third level. The kobolds on the first level and the tauren on the second level are just demihumans. Although they can use simple sword skills, they look like monsters, right?”

Faced with the inquiry from her best friend, Tongzi patiently explained.

Naturally, she also meant to tell Nangong You.

“But some of the enemies waiting for us here look almost the same as the players! If there is no color buoy, it might not be visible….And he can talk like an NPC and can use sword skills flexibly….”

Tongzi did not continue, but Nangong You and the others could naturally understand the meaning of her words.

The monsters you will face are not much different from the players!

Even though they are NPCs in the game, this kind of thing is still too difficult for two fourteen-year-old girls….

The most important thing is that they must pass their own level!

“No matter what happens to this kind of thing, okay?…”

“Where did you come from as a murderer?——！？”

Regarding Nangong Yu’s indifferent attitude, Kiriko and Asuna fully expressed their displeasure.

If you don’t take this kind of thing to heart at all, just how thick is this guy’s nerves!!

“So what if you know? Aren’t you going to clear the level by killing monsters?”

This sentence also made the dissatisfaction on the faces of the two girls disappear in an instant, and complexity gradually filled their pretty faces.

Nangong You was right. Even if they knew this kind of thing, wouldn’t they just go and level up?

Is it possible that you want to stay in this world for the rest of your life?

“you guy…never mind.”

After Tongzi took a deep breath, she wisely chose to change the topic.

She had to admire the mentality of Nangong You and Edwys….

But only this kind of people can live longer in this world!

“The man who kept us here…Kayaba Akihiko once said this in a magazine with a special issue on SAO: The so-called Sword Art Online is the light and sound intertwined with sword skills, and the concerto of life and death….”

“…That’s it.”

Nangong You nodded thoughtfully.

But the girl with long brown hair was walking on the stairs at a regular speed.

“When these contents were published, had Kayaba already planned this death game?”

Looking at Nangong Yu walking in front, Asuna continued thoughtfully.

“Concerto of life and death…Is this really just a statement made by the player regarding the sword skills of the humanoid monster?”

“Huh…? What are you doing…！？”

Tongzi’s steps suddenly stopped, and her beautiful purple eyes were filled with astonishment.

Nangong You and Edwys did not make a sound, but quietly listened to the two girls’ speculations about the world. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Seeing this, Asuna also showed a more serious affection and said in a low voice.

“Maybe I just think too much…But the concerto is not played equally between the instruments. If that’s what you mean, then a duet would be more appropriate”

“Although there will be some minor changes with the changes of the times, the most fundamental one is to highlight the protagonist’s performance in one to many, so that it can be called a concerto.”

Looking at Tongzi who was confused, Nangong You had to explain aloud.

Although he was a bit boastful, he was still good at music, even though he didn’t know many musical instruments.[]

“In a…to many…”

Whispering in a low voice, Tongzi reacted instantly.

In this world, it is almost impossible to see a player fighting more than ten monsters at the same time. In SAO, where there is no magic that can annihilate enemies in a large area, and range-type sword skills are only slightly longer than weapons, being surrounded by many monsters is the only way to die!

Almost all monsters appear alone, or in groups of three or two.

As long as you don’t deliberately gather or trigger traps, this situation will never happen!

“If you really want to say that, the world cannot use concertos as a metaphor for battles….If I have to say it, the gatekeeper boss battle is still relevant….But in this case, the boss is the protagonist, and the attacking troops are just accompaniments, right?”

Asuna whispered, while observing Nangong Yu’s reaction.

But she was destined to be disappointed….

Regarding her speculation, Nangong You seemed extremely calm, with no intention of wavering at all.

Nangong You naturally knows what this game will turn into.

Should I say that she is worthy of being the heroine of destiny?…

I actually noticed something was wrong when I was on the second floor….

As Kayaba Akihiko said, the subsequent death game will become very complicated (good news).

Player versus monster… player versus player…

If there is no strength, there is basically no possibility of escaping from this storm vortex!

It’s just that the four people on the ladder now have the power to stay out of the matter, and it’s hard to say about the others….

“It seems like I’m thinking too much…By the way, Kiriko…”

“well? What’s wrong?”

“…It’s okay, it’s too late.”

Looking at the confused black-haired girl, Asuna shook her head helplessly.

The next second, Tongzi, who was climbing the stairs backwards, slammed into the thick stone door….

“Ugh——！”

She let out a cute cry while staggering, and even almost fell down because she almost missed the step….

Without looking at the girl’s cute appearance, Nangong You directly pushed open the thick stone door, and the scene inside also made his eyes light up.

“Here it is, Aincrad’s third level post.”
