Chapter 743

Skitter

Woooooo

The moment the iron doors opened, a gust blew by the players waiting near the door, a ghastly wail also greeted their ears . Asuna's stern face immediately collapsed, she looked slightly intimidated . Even Wu Yan's hair were standing on ends as goosebumps crept up on him .

"Erm . . . "

Asuna gulped, she stayed closer to Wu Yan by hugging his arm .

"The 99-th floor labyrinth, I don't like it . . . "

Wu Yan rolled his eyes at her .

"Are you kidding me? Nobody likes the labyrinths of Aincrad . . . "

"It's not like that . . . "

Asuna turned her head the other way . She furtively sneaked a glance at the dungeon .

"It's just that . . . "

"Oh?"

Wu Yan blinked, he started grinning .

"Asuna, you're not, perchance, afraid, right? . . . "

"Ahaha . . . . "

Asuna started laughing awkwardly, her gaze also wavered .

"N-no way, I ain't afraid of . . . "

Another demonic shriek blew past them as cold winds lathered their skin . Asuna jumped in fright and she yelped out of reflex, grabbing Wu Yan's arm tighter .

Wu Yan continued with a speechless tone .

"Maybe you should go back and accompany Yui . . . "

"No way!"

Asuna vehemently shook her head . She glared at Wu Yan with tears in the corners of her eyes .

"It's just a labyrinth, right? Even if there are weird monsters, they are just spirit-type monsters . . . Yeah! That's right!"

Wu Yan slapped his forehead, he continued .

"Even if it's a spirit-type monster, you're still afraid aren't you? . . . "

Asuna puffed her cheeks . She looked at the dark interiors of the labyrinth and she released Wu Yan's arm . Puffing out her chest, she declared .

"What's there to be afraid of?! They are just monsters! I ain't afraid of no monsters!"

She said as if trying to convince herself . She closed her eyes and she dashed straight into the labyrinth in front of Wu Yan who couldn't believe what she just did .

Wu Yan was scared out of his wits .

There are strong monsters roaming the labyrinth . They are also concentrated in groups . If she fell into a mob group or some trap . . .

Wu Yan silently cursed and he charged inside too . The next instant, darkness and cold air enveloped him . He shivered but his night vision helped him locate Asuna . He caught up with her and he grabbed her hand .

"What are you doing?!"

Wu Yan said with a frustrated tone .

"Do you know how dangerous that was? . . . "

Asuna only realize her reckless actions when Wu Yan said this . She lowered her head apologetically .

"So-sorry, Yan . . . "

Wu Yan suppressed the flame inside his heart, he couldn't be angry when she's already so sad . Helplessly, he decided to let this rest .

"Don't be so foolhardy next time, got it?!"

Wu Yan continued .

"Your actions might make people who care about you worried, do you understand?"

Asuna stuck her tongue out but she continued indulging herself in Wu Yan's hug . Maybe this is her way of asking for leniency . Wu Yan didn't know what to say at this point .

The visibility inside the labyrinth area is poor at best . It's about as dark as a moonless night . To get a better grasp of their surrounding, a player would need excellent night vision skills . Fortunately for Wu Yan and Asuna, they had high levels in Night Vision so they could navigate after they got used to the environment here .

After entering from the entrance, they arrived at a room that appeared to be an oversized hall . Opening the map, they could only see a ring as this map is unexplored for now . Looking beyond that, they saw spiraling roads that led up .

They had to explore the map further if they wanted more information . Plus, they were getting a bit bored with looking at a blank map . When Wu Yan wanted to put away his map, Asuna tugged Wu Yan's sleeve as she pointed at a direction .

Some distance away, a giant bug with green shell and spiky wings flew around aimlessly . It looked like a giant fly with a long stinging mouth . The sharp glint can send a shiver down anyone's spine .

"So the labyrinth here is bug-themed?"

Asuna patted her chest in relief .

"I am so glad it's not spirit-type monsters . . . "

"Ahaha . . . "

Wu Yan chuckled .

"This is the first time I heard a girl say they are glad they saw bugs . . . "

Asuna blushed and she slapped Wu Yan's shoulder . She unsheated her blade and she asked him .

"How about it? Wanna go?"

"Wait, let me do this . "

Wu Yan pressed her blade down . He stepped forward .

"We don't know their attack patterns, strength, defense, and skills, let me test them out first!"

Asuna gave it some thought and she gladly nodded .

"Okay, be careful . "

Wu Yan nodded and he approached the monster after confirming it's alone . He made the healing fairy stay with Asuna .

The 98th-floor's monsters couldn't touch Wu Yan with their puny damage . The monsters here should be slightly stronger so it shouldn't pose a big threat to Wu Yan as well . At least, he's sure they won't be able to harm him .

Attack power and defense aren't the whole picture, he had to gauge the monsters' attack patterns, skills, and other traits to come up with a proper strategy .

The next second, Wu Yan dashed forward .

Fwip

He pointed Heaven Gazer at the monster and before the monster could react, he used Vertical on themonster .

Bam

The bug's HP fell into the Yellow zone instantly .

Buzz buzz buzz

The bug menacingly emitted bug noises at the attacker . It zipped across the map to sting Wu Yan with its proboscis while glowing yellow .

Wu Yan narrowed his eyes . He didn't evade, instead, he charged right at the monster .

He intentionally accepted the attack, his HP fell about 10% and he grinned .

Even when the monster used a skill to attack him, it could only do so much damage . Asuna will have no trouble dealing with monsters like these .

When a numbing sensation hit him, his grin froze .

He's paralyzed!

Abnormal status indicator propped up confirming his paralysis .

Buzz buzz .

The monster stabbed Wu Yan multiple times while he's paralyzed, taking away another 10% of his HP .

"Yan!"

Asuna gasped in surprise, she immediately assaulted the monster with a heavy strike that slammed the bug away .

Wu Yan came out of his paralysis . He leaped at the monster while his Heaven Gazer glowed with a pale-blue sheen .

Buzzt

He stabbed the monster in its brain . Taking away all its HP and turning it into a rain of polygons .

Asuna and Wu Yan didn't jump in joy, they looked at each other with a helpless look .
