CHAPTER 17.1 - The Emilia

Magnatherium is a rare named monster found in the Bear Forest on the fourth floor of the aincrad, which drops high-quality items needed for the shipwright of Quest. The bear spawns near a tree with characteristic four-pronged claw marks on its trunk.

The Magnatherium monster has dark brown hair, each of which is as thick as a needle, two red eyes that gleam in the dark, fierce fangs poking its massive jaws, dagger-like claws protruding from its burly-as-log limbs, a barrel-size but short and bearlike tail, and black, sharp, gleaming horns on its forehead. The beast is about eight meters tall when it stands on the two legs and nearly four meters tall at the shoulder when it stands on all four.

ROARRRRR~~~

"It's freaking huge and has a horn!" Kirito was shocked after seeing the monster he didn't expect that was too huge

"What are we going to do?" Liten ask, all their attention was diverted to Kirito

"What kind of look is that?" Kirito asks them and sighs "Okay we need to block its basic attack which is using its dagger-like claws and doesn't forget that the monster has a breath attack"

"Like a 3rd floor Boss?" Agil said

"Breath attack but a different one, ones the breath attack hits you, you will not be going to be paralyzed," Kirito said

"We will become roasted player," Liten said "His breath was a fire that can cook us in just a one-hit" Liten started to hide in Asuna's cloak too "I'm scared I don't want to be roasted"

"Kirito-Kun what are going to do now?" Asuna asks Kirito. After saying the plan they came out to where they hide. When the bear saw them it quickly runs towards them to attack using its claws but Liten and Agil manage to block it while Kibaou and Lind started to make damage by attacking it vertically the Magnatherium growl in pain it stands up vertically, sucks in air and a red light flickering within its throat

"Move and hide!" Kirito shouted, "It was about to use its breath attack!" They jump into the spring except for Kirito and Asuna run towards the middle of the leg of the monster. They did not hit by the sudden fire breath attack when they saw the damage they were shock

"Liten-San is correct we were surely become roasted players once we are hit by the fire breath attack," Lind said

"Just imagine taking that kind of damage head-on" Kirito said to Asuna while looking at the burned part of the forest

"Come and catch me, King of the teddy bear!!" Kibaou said trying to get the attention of the monster however it doesn't pay attention to him "What?! You don't like me?"

"I think you should do this" Lind wiggled his ass "Come on teddy teddy teddy~~ come and get me~" They faced palm watching him and Kibaou did the same thing. After that, they succeeded in getting its attention and it started to come to them

"Why do I have this memory that I saw that moves before?" Kirito was thinking and suddenly remembered Morte

"Kirito-Kun!" Kirito dash between the legs of the monsters and slash it using his anneal blade it Hit point dropped at ninety "Asuna switch!" Asuna sprints towards the monster and charges it with a linear attack. They defeat the monster for almost fifteen minutes, after that they go back to the Rovia

***Rovia / NPC's Quest House***

"Hmm? Is that you guys again.." The NPC quest man greeted them "You look like hell, did the King bear do that to you?" All of them were dirty and wet after fighting the King Bear "But don't be ashamed! Many stronger warriors before did not make it" The NPC Quest man thought that they didn't get the King Bear's fat because they look devastated and silent "How young you are! Well except the three men on the back. You guys can't stop that beats" They equipped the King Bear fat and when the NPC man saw it he was in shock "What?! It was the King bear's fat!" He suddenly dropped the bottle of alcohol in his hand

"Is this everything you need sir?" Serious Kibaou ask the NPC man

"Yes, it is. And I accept your goodwill" The NPC man said, "There's enough life left in this old bag bone to build you the greatest ship you've ever seen!!"

"Thank you, sir!!!!" They are happy knowing that they could have their gondola

"To think the day would come when I would hold this hammer again" The NPC man goes to his shelf of tools and take one of the hammers "Well go on tell me what kind of ship you want?"

"I don't believe it, we could customize the gondola.." Liten eyes were shimmering "We got to choose the shape the color even the decorations? This is the best!" They plan to make six gondolas of each guild and for Argo, Liten, Agil, and one for the party of Asuna and Kirito. They started planning their own gondolas

"There are many choices! I can't pick" Asuna look at the example of the design that they can put on their gondola "What do you want for design Kirito-Kun?"

"I'll let you choose the details, Asuna" He just smiled

"Really?! You're sure?!" Asuna's eyes become brighter "In that case, I think I will go for the elegant design white will be nice for the body, but white alone was too plain. I'd say more of an ivory white for the base, and the primary accent color should probably be red, and then.." Asuna started writing on the paper the design that she like while Kirito was looking at him "Oh Kirito-Kun I wanted to ask you the ship name?"

"I don't know, I'm not really very confident in making up names" Kirito scratched his head and refused to give the name of the ship "Do you mind if I pass that one back to you hehe?"

"Good grief! This is the shared property of our party, you know.." Asuna said

"Why not mix your name?" Agil suggested

"Or you can name it with my name," Argo said "Argo the Info-San ship! Nice!" They just faced palm

"If we mixed your name it could be.." Lind act like he was thinking "Nato?.." They suddenly remember the Nato monster on the 2nd floor "Maybe Nato doesn't suit in the ship"

"Oh! What if we call it The Emilia?" Asuna said Kirito faced lighten "It just popped into my head when I was thinking about our party with her. Do you think she'll be mad if we used her name in our ship?"

"Not at all, I bet she'd be delighted," Kirito said while making an approved sign

"Okay, now we're really done," Asuna said and handed the shipping plan to the NPC quest man "This is what we'll be going with sir" After all of them give their ship plan they decided to take a rest

"All right. I'll take care of the rest" Taro said "Get ready for the best boat you've ever seen" The NPC man was about to enter his workplace when he stop and look at them "I've got to work. Be patient, and I'll let you know when it's done" And he left

"I can't wait to see my boat" Liten said and giggled

"Hey! When he says to wait for him to finish.." Kibaou ask

"Half a day, or in this kind of quest, maybe a few hours? The fact that he will make six boats and the two boats was big to accommodate all the members of the two guilds" Kirito act like he was thinking "At the longest, I'd expect about six hours"
