Chapter 678: Getting another sword in a suprising but reasonable manner
Aincrad 48th Floor, Lindarth, Lisbethâs blacksmith shop.
Kirito and Lis stood there as Wu Yan and Asuna grinned at them in a very friendly manner. They exchanged a look.
âWhen did you two arrive?â
Kirito tilted his head in confusion.
âJust now.â
The two replied at the same time.
âJust nowâŠâ
Kirito started sweating.
âThen whatâs with those weird looks on your faces?â
âNothingâŠâ
The two are definitely up to something.
Kiritoâs lip twitched while Lis felt a bit unsettled.
Itâs weird how they are behaving so suspiciously.
Wu Yan and Asuna looked at each other and they couldnât help but grin again. They were giggling ambiguously in front of Kirito and Lis. The weird mood also dissipated when the two of them laughed.
Moving his eyes downwards, he saw the sword in Kiritoâs hand and his eyes glimmered.
Itâs an aqua-colored one-handed sword with a very elegant design. Its blade is white and slender although not as thin as Asunaâs rapier. The grip is silver with a tinge of blue mixed in. Adorned with an aquamarine at the center of the handguard, the sword looked a bit extravagant.
Like his Heaven Gazer, the bladeâs crossguard is exactly perpendicular to its grip. If the crossguard of the Heaven Gazer is a practical bar, the crossguard of this sword looked like a pair of wings. Ignoring the practical usage, for now, it looked way better than his Heaven Gazer.
The White Sword, Dark Repulser.
Itâs a sword forged by Lisbeth. A sword that is on par with Kiritoâs Elucidator. Compared to Heaven Gazer who he painstakingly upgraded into its current state, itâs still comparable.
In short, this sword is beyond the curve.
He grinned and he continued.
âLooks like my other weapon is readyâŠâ
Kirito bitterly laughed while Lisbeth froze up.
âAnother weapon? You mean this one?â
Lisbeth glanced at Kirito who was bitterly smiling and she turned towards Wu Yan with a surprised look.
âYou commissioned this weapon?â
Lis was wondering why Kirito needed another weapon when he already has Elucidator. Upgrading his weapon is better than getting a new one right?
There are probably better weapons further down the road but with the levels of the players in this game. They wonât be able to use any weapon better than Elucidator given their low levels.
That is why Lisbeth was bewildered by why Kirito kept pressing her for another weapon. She assumed Kirito wanted it to complete some kind of quest. It looks like Kirito wanted Dark Repulser as a gift.
âDo-donât tell me you want this sword?â
Lisbeth started panicking.
She infused her emotions into this sword because she intended to give this sword to the one she loved.
Of course, she couldnât sit still when it looks like the confession gift she gave to Kirito is about to fall into another personâs hand.
Kirito read Lisâ thoughts. Judging by the glare she gave him, he knew better than to do what was originally promised. He bitterly smiled and he continued.
Lifting the sword, he nodded.
âThis weapon wasnât originally commissioned because I wanted itâŠâ
Lis looked even more anxious. Her face turned gloomy and she wanted to say something when Kirito interjected.
âBut, that changedâŠâ
He unstrapped Elucidator and he threw it over to Wu Yan.
âYou can have that one!â
âHar?â
He couldnât help but look at Kirito with a pair of wide eyes.
âAre you okay with this? Isnât this your favorite sword?â
âYeahâŠâ
Kirito caressed the Dark Repulser and he chuckled.
âBut, I have more reasons to use this sword nowâŠâ
Asuna started teasing them.
âDonât tell me, you twoâŠâ
Kirito turned his head the other way in a fluster. Lisbeth blushed for a second but she owned up to it with arms akimbo.
âThatâs right! I confessed to Kirito and we are dating now!â
Wu Yan and Asuna expected this but they were still shocked when the bomb was dropped on them. They looked flabbergasted in front of Lisbeth who was snorting proudly while Kirito chortled in a bashful manner. Then, the two laughed out loud.
Asuna grabbed Lisâs hands.
âCongratulations! Lis!â
âEheheâŠâ
Lis giggled shyly. Asuna couldnât connect her appearance with her usual tomboy-ish BFF.
âWay to go, man, I didnât think you had it in you, you sure gave me a shockâŠâ
Wu Yan patted Kiritoâs shoulder.
âMan, you sure got your route conqueredâŠâ
âWhat do you mean my route got conquered?â
Kirito protested weakly. Wu Yan, Asuna, and Lis rolled their eyes at the same time. Anyone could see Lis placed the most effort into getting their relationship where they are today.
âItâs so hard to imagineâŠâ
Asuna glared at Kirito.
âWerenât you busy fighting at the frontline? You mostly fight by yourself, right? How did you bag Lis with a personality like that?â
Kirito retorted.
âHey, Wu Yan is in the same class as me. That didnât stop you from hanging around himâŠâ
âNn?â
Asuna and Lis shot dangerous looks at him.
âWhat was that?â
Asuna gave him a beautiful but insidious smile.
âPlease repeat that I didnât quite catch thatâŠâ
Kirito started breaking out in cold sweat.
Lis also yanked Kiritoâs ears.
âAre you implying that Iâm too clingy?â
âNo no no! You heard wrong!â
Kirito covered his ears as he begged for mercy. Wu Yan silently prayed for Kirito.
With such a strong woman as his girlfriend, heâs definitely in for it nowâŠ
Wu Yanâs pitiful eyes looked like someone enjoying a good show from the side and he looked at Asuna as he mumbled in a small tone.
âLaugh while you can, youâre going to get your route conquered sooner or later tooâŠâ
Kiritoâs words fell through Wu Yanâs radar. Wu Yan was too busy examining Elucidator.
Shing
A slow sound of a sword being unsheathed attracted Kirito, Asuna, and Lisâ attention. Wu Yan placed the sword directly in front of him.
The dark sword glimmered with a cool silver luster, the edge ended with sharp white color. Like a cold viper hiding in the bush, the sword gave off a subtle sense of danger. This snake of a sword doesnât need to bare its fang to make others uneasy.
Wu Yan brandished the blade and he assessed its parameters and weight.
As expected of a rare drop from a boss on the 50th floor. It is not inferior to the Heaven Gazer in any way. In base values alone, itâs better than Heaven Gazer.
His Heaven Gazer can be upgraded but it wonât change the fact that itâs a god-tier weapon from the 1st floor. Its base values were lower than the Elucidator.
With Elucidator by his side, Wu Yan can unleash more of his powerâŠ
