Chapter 35: Man-Eating Flower

In the middle, it would pass through the middle of the mountainside, which was where the man-eating flowers were located.

Naoki Kirigaya had tricked Asuna and was constantly complained about by her, so he had a relatively deep impression of this place.

Man-eating flowers weren't easy to deal with for beginners, especially with Naoki Kirigaya's current level of only five.

He could only pull and fight them one by one. If he attracted too much aggro, he could only temporarily retreat.

SAO could actually kill monsters above your level, and the experience gained from killing monsters above your level was exceptionally rich, but you would have a special buff.

This buff was a debuff, and its effect was to determine how much damage reduction the monster could get based on the player's level.

In short, if you were going to kill monsters above your level, you had to act according to your ability.

Naoki Kirigaya quickly reached the center of the valley, but unfortunately, although he had seen many monsters along the way, he still hadn't seen the rat wearing a hood.

This made Naoki Kirigaya quite regretful.

Forcing himself to cheer up, Naoki Kirigaya began to survey the surrounding terrain and quickly spotted a lone man-eating flower.

Silently calculating the aggro range of the man-eating flower in his mind, Naoki Kirigaya retreated to a safe range, held a stone in his right hand, and began to aim.

A blue light flashed on the stone in his hand, a sign that the sword skill had been successfully activated.

The whistling sound of the air being broken swept towards the man-eating flower in the distance.

The man-eating flower was hit by the stone, Roaed, and began to attack Naoki Kirigaya. Once a monster was attacked by a player, it would have a built-in target-locking function.

Naoki Kirigaya initially expected one man-eating flower, but clearly, two man-eating flowers were rushing over.

The more monsters there were, the harder they were to deal with.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, which was the truth.

Within a certain number range, the increase in monsters also increased the pressure on players exponentially.

In short, Naoki Kirigaya was under pressure.

Actually, facing two man-eating flowers wasn't difficult to solve.

With his current equipment, it wouldn't be embarrassing to the point where he couldn't even break their defense.

The mechanism of the man-eating flower was also extremely simple, without any special attack mechanisms, which led to a decrease in its difficulty.

The main thing to pay attention to was the man-eating flower with the enchanting red fruit. Basically, anyone who touched it without knowing the information would die.

The man-eating flowers ran towards Naoki Kirigaya along the mountain road.

Naoki Kirigaya gripped the sword tightly in his right hand, took a deep breath, and a large amount of oxygen was inhaled into the young man's lungs. His heart beat violently, and blood rushed throughout his body along with his heart.

Naoki Kirigaya didn't directly meet the enemy.

He pressed the sword to his waist, still using his signature drawing sword style.

However, this time, he had to charge up.

The violent momentum began to gather, and the momentum was condensed by the young man on the sword.

The Sword God Style itself was about one-hit kills. Although Naoki Kirigaya couldn't really kill the opponent across levels, the damage of this hit was definitely considerable.

The blue light flashed again and again, Naoki Kirigaya retreated his right foot and changed to stepping forward with his left foot.

When the man-eating flower rushed within five zhang, Naoki Kirigaya suddenly rushed forward.

The momentum had been condensed to the extreme, and even the right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, which was caused by the excessive power.

In just one breath, the young man rushed to the man-eating flower. The huge vines lashed out at Naoki Kirigaya, and the mouth in front of him opened, revealing hideous sharp teeth.

Before, it didn't matter, but now it seemed extremely awkward.

If he was bitten by this thing, Naoki Kirigaya could easily imagine what would happen.

Before, it was a game, which could be ignored, but now it was different.

Rushing to the man-eating flower, Naoki Kirigaya's speed actually increased again, and the sword in his hand no longer flashed with blue light, but with a dark luster.

The dark slash was drawn, and in just an instant, the young man's sword had been swung, and the vines extended by the man-eating flower were directly divided into two by this sword.

The sword's momentum didn't stop, and the sword body flashed with a deep black light, piercing into the man-eating flower's bloated body. The sharpness of this weapon exceeded the young man's expectations. With the blessing of powerful force, it almost effortlessly pierced through the opponent's thick wall.

Green liquid flowed out, and the man-eating flower's HP quickly decreased. The original green and healthy health bar directly turned into a red area.

But at the same time, the second man-eating flower behind the man-eating flower in front of him had arrived.

Naoki Kirigaya gritted his teeth. He couldn't care about so much now. He directly connected the sword skills, ignored the other man-eating flower, held the hilt with both hands, and swung the sword violently.

Double strike.

Another hideous slash appeared. This slash was obviously not as strong as the first one, but this slash still failed to take down the opponent.

The man-eating flower's vines wrapped around Naoki Kirigaya, forcing him to retreat.

He exhaled a long breath, his right arm trembling slightly, and the mana bar above his head was already more than half depleted.

Naoki Kirigaya didn't retreat; he raised his sword again. There were only two monsters now, and he used to kill them by the handful during the closed beta. He didn't expect to have to deal with them for so long now.

He didn't use the drawing sword style again. He raised the sword in front of him, and the Sword God Style's moves flashed through the young man's mind.

Raise the sword, thrust.

The speed had to be fast.

The mana bar was consumed again, but this time, not only the sword body, but Naoki Kirigaya himself was enveloped in a blue light.

An indescribable power surged through his body again.

Naoki Kirigaya was extremely familiar with that power. That power was the power possessed by the world of "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation."

Using magic to strengthen himself, allowing his basic attributes to be temporarily raised to a terrifying level.

He had this idea during the game's closed beta and tried to use the mana bar to strengthen himself.

Of course, he failed without any surprises.

Because the SAO game rules were sword skills.

Only when releasing sword skills could he greatly increase all attributes.

But now, he tried again and succeeded.

Naoki Kirigaya vaguely guessed what was going on.

It was probably because the system had transformed the world in the game into reality, which caused certain rules to change.

He glanced at the mana bar above his head. The mana bar was decreasing at an alarming rate.

Naoki Kirigaya no longer hesitated, and the long sword turned into a blue light and stabbed straight at the opponent.

This wasn't a sword skill; it was just an ordinary thrust.

But this sword was extremely fast. He only heard a sound of air being broken, and the sword blade pierced into the remaining health of the man-eating flower. Its huge body twitched and fell to the ground, then disappeared into a blue light.

After killing the man-eating flower, Naoki Kirigaya didn't stop. He kicked the man-eating flower, and the huge force was transmitted, and the man-eating flower was directly kicked three meters away.

The man-eating flower fell to the ground and struggled to get up. Naoki Kirigaya raised his sword and stabbed out, his right arm muscles bulged, lowered his center of gravity, and sprinted forward.

Dirt flew, and the distance of three meters was almost instantaneous. He stepped heavily again, and the violent force stepped down, and the middle of the man-eating flower's torso was directly stepped in, green juice splashed, and the HP on his head quickly declined.
