CHAPTER 28.2 - PK-Gang

"That's easy for you to say that!" The man shouted at Morte "It's difficult to lure them

"I know but isn't that the reason why you trained your cool conversational technique?" Morte smiled mocking him

"Yeah, but lately I haven't been able to use it that efficiently. It feels like it barely has any effect" The man breathes heavily

"AHAHA you're already giving up huh?" Morte still mocking him

"That's because your talks are pretty annoying," The man said, and Morte suddenly stood up and he aimed his sword at the man

"You shouldn't try that or I might accidentally kill you, you know?" Morte tone was like an insane man

"S-Sorry.." The man was started sweating in fear

"It's okay, I know your stress is piling up but can you please endure it a little longer? AHAHA!!" Morte brings back his swords on its scabbard "We're just sowing the seeds right now if you rush, the exciting festival will end in a blink of an eye, yeah?"

"I know, we should enjoy the process too, right?"

"That's right," Morte said. Asuna was still listening to their conversation

"Countdown? Is it the new year's countdown event?" Asuna whispered to herself still looking at them from far "The only guilds that can rush through and solo kill the floor Boss is the Either Aincrad Liberation Squad and Dragon Knights Brigade" Asuna was on the deep through "Having a secret meeting here, they're leaking information, in other words, they're spies?!" She watches the two closely while thinking "The person with a small build looks like an informant while the other is a one-handed sword user both of them don't look like they would belong to a guild.. W-wait! The other man Morte, as far as I know, was using an ax as a weapon, not a sword.. Hmm? Morte? Don't tell me? They are the PK gang?!" Asuna feel nervous and suddenly remembered what Kirito and Kouki said, plus what Morte did to Lisbeth. She was about to grab her Farner when she suddenly remembered that her rapier was stolen "If I only have my Farner rapier, I would've to stab them and threaten them for answers'" Asuna suddenly stepped into a puddle and lost her balance

"Did you hear something?" Morte ask the man, they are now looking where the noise came

"Hmm? A weakling has turned up? It didn't sound like pop, right" The man said "In this type of dungeon there are a lot of spaces to hide"

"If someone were to hear our conversation, that'd be super terrible" Morte smiled and started walking on the way where Asuna was hiding "I'll go and take a look"

"Shit! He's coming here, if I started a battle, the iron rapier wouldn't be enough" Asuna started panicking and fear was eating here hearing every step of Morte "If by chance they take me out, Ah I really wish I have my Farner rapier with me.." She suddenly remembered the Sly Shrewman and came up with a good idea

Asuna gets the paper that she got to the dropped item after killing the Sly Shrewman earlier "This paper.." She throw it near where she was hiding and started praying that a Sly Shrewman came "Please come.." The Sly Shrewman attract to that paper that she throw and quickly run towards it, the monster came behind Morte's back

"Don't run! What was that?" The man was shocked by the sudden appearance of the monster

"Block the exit!" Morte command him and attack the Sly Shrewman "Hays, it's was just a mouse"

"So it was just the sound of its footsteps"

"Yatta! That went well.." Asuna sigh in relief

"Their loots are terrible were they here during the Beta Testing too?" The man ask Morte

"Of course but sometimes they have great loots, which they steal from other players too," Morte said and because of that they got the attention of Asuna again, remembering her stolen Farner Rapier "If that happened, you'd bring in the bucks just when I said it" Morte was scanning the drop items that he got from the Sly Shrewman

"Something good dropped?" Morte brings out the item drop that he got "Are you serious!"

"It looks like a rare rapier" Morte was looking at Asuna's Farner

"No. No way!!!" Asuna stiff looking at her rapier that was held by Morte

"The specs are good and Hmm light" The man was inspecting Asuna's rapier "This is such a good weapon"

"Really?" Morte ask

"If you're not interested give it to me!" The man said

"Eh, you're a dagger user, right? Isn't STR sufficient is that?" Morte said pointing the rapier

"If you can't use this sword, fencer conversion. It's fine!" The man said he knows that Morte can use a one-handed sword and ax, so he was planning to use this "Let's check its name" The man looks again at its specs "Farner rapier? It's not cool as a name!" Hearing that Asuna's blood started boiling, but she can't show herself. She doesn't like the idea of using her lovely rapier killing players "And its level was so high. It's been strengthened!"

"Look closely pleased, Farner huh?" Morte laugh, that rapier looks familiar to him

"What the name but-" They heard footsteps walking towards them and become alerted

"What did you say?" The man showed himself from the darkest part of that place

"This is.." The man's voice was familiar to Morte "As usual, it's strange with you seeing you at this place" Morte sigh "I only have one question for you, have you listened to us since when arrived?"

"I've just arrived; you're a frolicking voice resonating from a distance. Come on.." Kirito showed himself

"Kirito-Kun!" Asuna cheered on her thought seeing him

"Ah my bad, I should lower down my voice a little bit" Morte laugh

"That rare weapon, did you say Farner rapier?" Kirito look at Asuna's rapier, he can't be wrong that was Asuna's sword

"Did you still remember-" Morte did not finish his word when Kirito spoke again

"How about another question, did you do that?" What Kirito want to say is if they encounter Asuna earlier and accidentally killed her by duel, in that thought it makes him crazy "That rapier, that was my buddy equipment" Kirito pointed the rapier again

The man that next to Morte was about to speak however Morte stopped him, and smiled he now knows who is the owner of the rapier "That's right, is that so? This was just a while ago from the router I dropped it"

"The owner of that was my friend, return it," Kirito said, he is not sure if they do something to Asuna "What did you do to my buddy? Duel PK sprinkle" The tension started rising "Morte"

"AHAHA The owner of that rapier is the fencer-girl right? Are you curious if we have a duel earlier?" Morte insane laugh eco on that place

Asuna was looking at the man who was holding her rapier, she was thinking to take advantage of the situation and snatch her rapier, she look at the man waist he is a dagger user so meaning he can use it if she make a surprise attack to block it but she suddenly remembered the monster that stole her sword because of that she makes a good idea. Asuna started counting on her mind "1.. 2.. 3.. Now!" Asuna sprints behind the man and stopped sand started shouting "AHHHHH!!!!" Because of that the man accidentally dropped the rapier on the floor
