<h4>Chapter 640: Expert yer</h4>


    Kirito didn’t think there would be so many yers here. The moment he entered this ce, he flinched slightly from surprise. When he heard Klein, he returned to his senses.


    “Kirito, my man...”


    Klein ditched his crew and he ran over to Kirito.


    “If I knew you would being, I would have called you up to do this quest together...”


    Klein met Kirito when he first logged onto SAO. Even if Kirito didn’t help him much and he ultimately left Klein in the Town of Beginnings, he still appreciated the tips he gave them.


    “I also didn’t expect this...”


    Kirito nced at everyone.


    “I thought I was the only one with information on the special field boss...”


    This boss wasn’t implemented in the original closed beta. This boss is designed and scripted so that it only appears on the Eve of Christmas. Moreover, Kirito didn’t pursue this questlines with ferocity whenpared with his counterpart in the original work. He’s also not ready to solo this boss at the risk of his life because he didn’t desperately want this item like in the original story. Hence, he only found out about this quest about the same time as the other frontliners.


    “I see most of the clearing guilds are already here...”


    Kirito scanned over KoB, the ck Cats, Fuurinkazan, and the Divine Dragons, his sight fell on thest group, the Army.


    “Oh, even they are here, thepetition for this revival item will be an intense one, that’s for sure...”


    Kirito said that without any worry in his tone. He looked rather rxed, it’s almost like he didn’t think too much of the other clearing guilds here.


    “Say, Kirito...”


    Klein chuckled.


    “Since you’re here and all, why don’t you party up with us? Whoever gets the item gets to keep it, sounds good?”


    “Okay!”


    Kirito agreed without hesitation.


    Without being spurned like in the original work, Kirito didn’t get isted from all the yers. He also didn’t get to develop his rtionship with the ck Cats, thereby preventing their deaths in a Trap Room like in the original work. The current Kirito is arguably the most blessed version in all the multiverse out there.


    Kirito also wasn’t forced to move alone, he preferred to fight and move alone but he’s very open to partying with others should the need arise like today.


    Even a fool will know that it’s going to be hard trying topete with other clearing guilds. The chances of him getting the item will increase if he parties up with the parties like Klein’s.


    This boss is also designed to be abnormally strong. Even someone as strong as Kirito will only be able to win with a 10% chance. Unlike the original story, he has no reason to put his life on the line (Sachi’s revival).


    Kirito’s participation in Klein’s Fuurinkazan was very much weed. For one, Kirito’s very capable. For the other four guilds, his participation is very much unweed. They had very tense expressions. Asuna is the only one who looked calm, she’s eerilyposed.


    Asuna was familiar with Kirito. They were in a party on the first floor. They also frequently met during raid meetings and raid fights. They also stood near the top of all yers with their capabilities. They also butted heads over strategies so they are very friendly with each other.


    Friendliness is one thing, business is another thing. In situations like this, she will not stand together with Kirito.


    Kirito and Klein returned to Fuurinkazan. They addressed the tense crowd.


    “Look, are we doing this or not? I know there’s quite some time before dawn, but I think given the boss’s strength, it’s going to cost us a lot of time so...”


    The five guilds all looked at each other and they became silent, Kirito’s words made sense.


    “Yes, we can’t continue staring at each other like this!”


    Asuna raised her voice.


    “We should just head in like this. We shall abide by raid group rules, finders keepers. Anyone disagree?”


    Klein and Souta agreed with a nod. Meanwhile, Divine Dragons and the Army didn’t express their opinions.


    The two guilds reckoned that they had a better chance this way since they had more members.


    The heavy air also disappeared after everyone achieved an understanding of each other. Asuna nodded and she tried to continue.


    “Then...”


    Suddenly, the entrance experienced another spatial distortion. Asuna swallowed her words.


    The others froze up as they turned towards the entrance in unison.


    Even Kirito was taken aback, who else hadn’t arrived at this point?


    Is it Agil?


    They didn’t think smaller guilds or squad will make an appearance here. They stood little to no chance if they wanted topete with frontliners and the raid members.


    The snow was scattered by the iing figure. When he finally appeared, he dispersed the distortion around him like he’s used to this.


    The others started looking at him with popped eyeballs. They sucked in the cold air around them. They rubbed their eyes because they just couldn’t believe this guy would make an appearance here. When they finally recognized his figure, they all gasped without an exception.


    ck cloak, huge-ass longsword, that phantom-like existence who looked like he belonged with the night, it’s like space itself is an essory to him. The straps and chains fluttered in the wind, giving him a very cool and distant look. Some of the onlookers realized toote that they were staring at him with too much admiration in their eyes.


    A small fairy sat upon his shoulder. The luminescent glow of the fairy gave the dark figure a sense of warmth. They also made a good contrast with their light and darkness conflicting tones. It’s like they are made this way, that the heavens ordained it so...


    ck cloaks, ck longsword, a fairy on his shoulder...


    Is there any yer in SAO who doesn’t recognize this man?


    “It’s the Fae Swordsman! Wu Yan!”


    Someone called out. At this time, KoB, the Cats, Fuurinkazan, the Divine Dragons, and the army finally recovered from their shock.


    “Fae Swordsman! It’s him in the flesh!”


    “The strongest yer! The Fae swordsman Wu Yan!”


    “H-he came...”


    “I saw him, yo!!! I saw the real Fae Swordsman! Ayo, you seeing this, man?!”


    He made fangirls out of male yers. Asuna, Kirito, Souta, and Klein also returned to their senses.


    “It’s him!”


    Kirito hissed in astonishment.


    “He’s that legendary yer, huh?”


    Klein mused with intrigue.


    “He came too...’


    Souta grinned.


    “I-it’s him...”


    Asuna said with disbelief.


    The Fae swordsman, the strongest yer, the one who took down close to twenty floors all on his own!


    The yer who has not been seen more than 10 times during the span of one year.


    He actually appeared in front of a rtivelyrge crowd!


    The frontliners and raid group members are all equally dumbfounded as other normal yers when they saw this man. They made a fuss over him just like any other yers would when they see Wu Yan.


    “It’s... really him...”


    Asuna lost her cool look. She recalled this yer who etched a deep impression into her mind, and her eyes started wavering with emotional ripples...
