Chapter 678
Aincrad 48th Floor, Lindarth, Lisbeth’s blacksmith shop .
Kirito and Lis stood there as Wu Yan and Asuna grinned at them in a very friendly manner . They exchanged a look .
“When did you two arrive?”
Kirito tilted his head in confusion .
“Just now . ”
The two replied at the same time .
“Just now…”
Kirito started sweating .
“Then what’s with those weird looks on your faces?”
“Nothing…”
The two are definitely up to something .
Kirito’s lip twitched while Lis felt a bit unsettled .
It’s weird how they are behaving so suspiciously .
Wu Yan and Asuna looked at each other and they couldn’t 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 Kirito’s hand and his eyes glimmered .
It’s an aqua-colored one-handed sword with a very elegant design . Its blade is white and slender although not as thin as Asuna’s 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 blade’s 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 .
It’s a sword forged by Lisbeth . A sword that is on par with Kirito’s Elucidator . Compared to Heaven Gazer who he painstakingly upgraded into its current state, it’s still comparable .
In short, this sword is beyond the curve .
He grinned and he continued .
“Looks like my other weapon is ready…”
Kirito bitterly laughed while Lisbeth froze up .
“Another weapon? You mean this one?”
Lisbeth glanced at Kirito who was bitterly smiling and she turned towards Wu Yan with a surprised look .
“You commissioned this weapon?”
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 won’t 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 a.s.sumed Kirito wanted it to complete some kind of quest . It looks like Kirito wanted Dark Repulser as a gift .
“Do-don’t tell me you want this sword?”
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 couldn’t sit still when it looks like the confession gift she gave to Kirito is about to fall into another person’s hand .
Kirito read Lis’ 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 .
“This weapon wasn’t originally commissioned because I wanted it…”
Lis looked even more anxious . Her face turned gloomy and she wanted to say something when Kirito interjected .
“But, that changed…”
He unstrapped Elucidator and he threw it over to Wu Yan .
“You can have that one!”
“Har?”
He couldn’t help but look at Kirito with a pair of wide eyes .
“Are you okay with this? Isn’t this your favorite sword?”
“Yeah…”
Kirito caressed the Dark Repulser and he chuckled .
“But, I have more reasons to use this sword now…”
Asuna started teasing them .
“Don’t tell me, you two…”
Kirito turned his head the other way in a fl.u.s.ter . Lisbeth blushed for a second but she owned up to it with arms akimbo .
“That’s right! I confessed to Kirito and we are dating now!”
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 Lis’s hands .
“Congratulations! Lis!”
“Ehehe…”
Lis giggled shyly . Asuna couldn’t connect her appearance with her usual tomboy-ish BFF .
“Way to go, man, I didn’t think you had it in you, you sure gave me a shock…”
Wu Yan patted Kirito’s shoulder .
“Man, you sure got your route conquered…”
“What do you mean my route got conquered?”
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 relations.h.i.+p where they are today .
“It’s so hard to imagine…”
Asuna glared at Kirito .
“Weren’t you busy fighting at the frontline? You mostly fight by yourself, right? How did you bag Lis with a personality like that?”
Kirito retorted .
“Hey, Wu Yan is in the same cla.s.s as me . That didn’t stop you from hanging around him…”
“Nn?”
Asuna and Lis shot dangerous looks at him .
“What was that?”
Asuna gave him a beautiful but insidious smile .
“Please repeat that I didn’t quite catch that…”
Kirito started breaking out in cold sweat .
Lis also yanked Kirito’s ears .
“Are you implying that I’m too clingy?”
“No no no! You heard wrong!”
Kirito covered his ears as he begged for mercy . Wu Yan silently prayed for Kirito .
With such a strong woman as his girlfriend, he’s definitely in for it now…
Wu Yan’s pitiful eyes looked like someone enjoying a good show from the side and he looked at Asuna as he mumbled in a small tone .
“Laugh while you can, you’re going to get your route conquered sooner or later too…’
Kirito’s words fell through Wu Yan’s radar . Wu Yan was too busy examining Elucidator .
s.h.i.+ng
A slow sound of a sword being unsheathed attracted Kirito, Asuna, and Lis’ attention . Wu Yan placed the sword directly in front of him .
The dark sword glimmered with a cool silver l.u.s.ter, 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 doesn’t need to bare its fang to make others uneasy .
Wu Yan brandished the blade and he a.s.sessed 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, it’s better than Heaven Gazer .
His Heaven Gazer can be upgraded but it won’t change the fact that it’s a G.o.d-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 power…
