Chapter Seventeen Silica

  Bang!

  As the last dog-headed monster was struck and killed by Yakumo Suke, turning into fragments that disappeared, the corridor where Yakumo Suke stood became completely quiet.

  After killing monsters alone in the maze district for a whole day, Yiyun Mo's gains were so great that they could make some players with unbalanced mental states go all out.

  Not only did the level rise to nearly ten levels, but the backpack was also filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items that had burst out from the monsters in the maze district.

  There are gold coins, equipment, recovery potions, useless items that can only be sold to NPCs, and even a teleport crystal!

  In the late game, although the teleport crystal is precious, players on the front lines have more or less some. But now that the game has only been open for two days, Yiyun Mo can almost be certain that this teleport crystal in his hand should be the first one to appear in the entire game!

  Unfortunately, although the harvest was bountiful, there was still a faint sense of regret in Ba Yun Mo's heart.

  He didn't find the room of the BOSS guarding the pass.

  "Hmm..."

  After glancing at the partially revealed maze district map that had taken him a whole day to conquer, Yayoi Moku let out an unfulfilled snort.

  What is currently displayed on his map accounts for less than one-twentieth of the entire first layer of the maze!

  This is the biggest shortcoming of solo players.

  As a solo player, if the strength is sufficient, it can naturally be practiced in the maze area, with great rewards, but when searching for resources, solo players are always inferior to those team players.

  It's even more so when searching for the BOSS room of the Guardian.

  Baiyun Mo can clear nearly one-fifth of the day's new map in the Desolate Abyss as a solo player, which is already an astonishing achievement!

  But he still felt dissatisfied with it himself.

  He brought up the system panel and took a look at the current time, finding that it was almost evening. Yagumo Taro decided to leave the Labyrinth District and return to town.

  As a demon, he won't feel tired and need to rest like ordinary players do after a long battle, but the fundamental purpose of his entry into this game is to enjoy himself, to have fun.

  Not for conquest.

  Otherwise, he can stay up all night in the dungeon area, killing monsters and leveling up, searching for the BOSS room of the guardian, and then challenging it alone. It seems that if this is the case, SAO will complete the raid at least a year earlier than the original work.

  Leaving the Labyrinth District and arriving in the wilderness, Yakumo Sumi gazed at the full moon in the night sky, which was even more radiant than in the real world, and became dazed.

  In Gensokyo, although the moon at night is also very beautiful, it still can't compare to the one in SAO.

  After all, Gensokyo has a Great Hakurei Barrier for protection, but it will still be influenced by the outside human society.

  The moonlight is not as clear as in SAO.

  "Sister... blue... and orange..."

  He muttered under his breath, and Ba Yun Mo shook his head, teasing the white on his neck, and walked towards the direction of the town.

  When passing through a dense forest, Bachiroku Moku stopped in his tracks.

  In the jungle, a faint skill light attracted the attention of Ba Yun Mo.

  "It's so late, is there still anyone leveling up?"

  After muttering a sentence, Bachiroku was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again.

  In the jungle, a girl's cry of surprise was heard.

  "Huh?"

  Frowning, Bachun Mo flashed into the forest.

  Cerica watched as the wild boar slowly approached her, struggling to get up from the ground, but due to extreme fear in her heart, her hands began to shake uncontrollably, and she eventually fell to the ground again amidst screams.

  "Waaah... it's all over..."

  With tears welling up in her eyes, Silica looked at the small dragon beside her who was desperately trying to hold back its own tiny wings and sobbed: "B-bina..."

  "Wah!"

  Bina shouted and a green light burst out, restoring a small amount of HP to Silica's originally yellow HP bar, turning it back to green.

  Seeing her own HP gauge recover a bit, Silica's heart calmed down slightly.

  She was lucky enough to receive a hidden quest on the second day of the server opening, and this easy hidden quest even rewarded her with a HP-recovering auxiliary summon, Mochi Winged Dragon Vina. Silica's heart, which had been on the verge of despairing about her future, finally brightened up a bit.

  Thinking that with Vina's help, she might be able to venture out alone and practice her skills a bit, Silica never thought that she wouldn't even be able to defeat the newbie field monster, Wild Boar.

  It's not the girl's fault, Cilica was never good at playing games to begin with. The only reason she came to play SAO was because it was almost a revolutionary game, and her curiosity got the better of her.

  As a result, what was originally a groundbreaking game has turned into this death game of today!

  If it weren't for Binna's unexpected good fortune, Silika believed that she would have been crushed by the deep despair and fear by now!

  "Wah!"

  Bina shouted again, and the clear cry roused Silika. She struggled to her feet, gripped her long sword tightly, and mustered up the courage to face the wild boar not far away.

  Not far away, standing on a tree, Bachiroku Moku gazed at the girl fighting alone under the moonlight, and his heart was clear.

  He just heard the girl call that winged dragon Vina, combining the appearance of this demon with the effect of restoring HP, as well as the girl's brown twin tails and cute appearance, Yakumo Sumi was certain that this girl must be Silica!

  It was just that Hachiguma didn't think that Cilica's luck would be so good, having obtained the demon Bina on the second day of the game.

  Having confirmed the identity of this beautiful girl, Yakumo Tatsu looked towards the approaching wild boar monster.

  "Although it's certainly safe and sound, since I've seen it, I'll just lend a hand."

  Yakumo Moku drew out a folding fan and suddenly appeared between Cyllica and the boar.

  Cerica stared at Hachiguma Moku who suddenly appeared, widening her beautiful eyes and staring blankly at his back.

  According to the setting in SAO, since this wild boar monster has already set its hatred target on Silica, even if Kirito appears in front of it, the wild boar monster will selectively ignore Kirito and continue to charge towards Silica.

  However, as the Wild Boar Monster passed by Yakumo's side, Yakumo flashed out with lightning speed, and the Iron Bone Fan drew a silver light that left a fatal wound on the monster's neck.

  In SAO, all monsters have a fatal weakness. Once the player hits this weak point, they will deal significantly more HP damage to the monster than usual.

  And just like the Wild Boar Monster, its fatal weakness is certainly its neck.

  With the addition of Yiyunmo's extremely high attack power compared to current players and first-level monsters, the Wild Boar monster's HP bar is instantly cleared when hit by Yiyunmo, its body shattering into fragments that disappear.

  "Great... really great..."

  Cirilla watched in shock as the wild boar that she had been fighting for half a day without any effect was killed with one hit by Hachiguma Sumi, and she couldn't say a word.

  After annihilating the wild boar monster, Yakumo Tsubasa turned around and came to Silica's side, smiling at the girl: "How is it? Are you okay?"

  Yayoi Mutsuki took out a bottle of HP recovery potion from her backpack and handed it to Cilica.

  "Thank you, thank you..."

  The girl's face turned red as she bashfully accepted the medicine from Hachiguma Tsumugu, and looking up at him with a gaze that made his beauty under the moonlight even more striking, she whispered: "Thank you for helping me... my name is Cilica..."

  "No need for formalities, I'm Bachiroku Sumi."

  "Wah!"

  Binna cried out beside her.

  "Ah! This child is called Bina!" Cilica hastily made the introduction to Yakumo Mukuro, and then curiously looked at the white thing on his neck, "That... is it also a Tsukumogami?"

  She glanced at Celia and closed her eyes again, continuing to pretend to sleep on Bach's shoulder.

  "Uh, it's called white."

  "Wow... it's so beautiful!"

  Circa gazed at the beautiful and elegant nine-tailed fox spirit, a look of envy flashing in her eyes, then she looked at her own Vina, her affection overflowing.

  After all, no matter how beautiful Bai is, she is someone else's demon, but Bina belongs to oneself.
