74th Floor, Labyrinth Area.
On the other side of the grassland, there was a huge tower-shaped building made of reddish-brown sandstone.
It had been eleven days since they arrived at this floor's labyrinth area. Naturally, it was not the first time Rozen and Yasna came here, and they were already familiar with the place.
Therefore, the two of them entered the labyrinth tower without any hesitation.
Because it had been a long time, the elite troops from the Aincrad Liberation Army seemed to have already entered the labyrinth area. On the contrary, in front of the labyrinth tower, Klatyr was pacing anxiously and grumpily at the entrance. When Rozen and Yasna arrived there, Klatyr and Yasna saw him.
Of course, the two of them didn't pay attention to this scene, nor did they want to meet Klatyr face to face. They directly sneaked into the labyrinth area under the cover of Concealment.
As soon as they entered the labyrinth area, Rozen and Yasna found that there were fewer monsters on a path.
That was proof that someone had just passed by and defeated most of the monsters.
However, neither Rozen nor Yasna could confirm whether it was the Aincrad Liberation Army's doing.
If they had the Tracking Skill, they might be able to find a way out. Unfortunately, neither Rozen nor Yasna had the Tracking Skill, so they could only follow the path to the top.
As a result, about thirty minutes later, the two of them finally found the elite troops of the Aincrad Liberation Army on a path leading to the top of the labyrinth.
At this moment, the elite troops were fighting against a Skeleton Swordsman.
It was a monster with a height of more than two meters, with only bones left. Its body was surrounded by blue phosphorescence, holding a long straight sword in its hand, and equipped with a round metal shield. It was the Demon Servant.
Although this monster had no muscles on its body, its stamina value was extraordinary. Not only could it display amazing defense with a shield alone, but it could also use One-Handed Sword Skill. It could be said that it was quite a difficult monster to deal with.
In the face of such a monster, Rozen aside, if Yasna wanted to defeat it in a one-on-one battle, it would not be easy, but it would not be too difficult either.
Under such circumstances, a group of twelve top Players should be able to defeat the enemy easily, but the Aincrad's Liberation Army was having a hard time under the enemy's offensive.
Rozen and Yasna hid in the shadows and watched this scene. They instantly understood what the problem was that caused this situation.
"I've exhausted myself too much …"
Asuna murmured in a low voice.
Upon a closer look, the Aincrad's Liberation Army's Players who were fighting against the Demon Servant were holding their weapons while gasping for air. Their movements were relatively sluggish, and sweat kept flowing from their helmets. Even their hands and feet were a little stiff, as if the weapons in their hands were heavy. At a glance, it could be seen that they were struggling to fight on their own.
As Rozen expected, and as Yasna said, these Players had exhausted too much energy and accumulated a lot of fatigue, which made the battle extremely difficult.
Don't think that the Players' body in SAO was just a virtual thing. Logically speaking, no matter how intense the exercise was, the body in the real world shouldn't feel tired, and there wouldn't be any feeling of fatigue in this world.
Don't forget, all the Players' feelings in this world were transmitted directly to the brain through the game helmet, and it was not a real experience.
Of course, all the Players' feelings in this world also included "fatigue."
Although the Players' body was different from the real world, and the Players' fatigue in this world mainly depended on their energy, strength, and weight, but even a high-level Player couldn't avoid fatigue.
The Aincrad's Liberation Army's elite troops gradually accumulated an invisible sense of fatigue in the intense battle. Because they weren't used to fighting on the frontline, their stamina was almost exhausted.
And yet, Cobartz was still roaring angrily.
"Don't let the enemy escape! Surround it! Surround it! "
As though he couldn't see the fatigue of his subordinates, Cobards only roared angrily. His expression was one of exasperation at his subordinates for failing to meet his expectations.
At least, Rozen directly turned his head and said to Yasna.
"Can I go over and slash him?"
"No!"
"Then should I let Saichou or Hanachou fly over and paralyze him?"
"No!"
"If that's the case …"
"No! No! "
Rozen's proposal made Yasna couldn't help but reject it with a helpless expression.
"Tsk …"
So Rozen curled his lips, which made Yasna's expression even more helpless.
He was so smart and capable during the Clearers' Raid, and his ability was enough to give the Clearers and all Players the greatest hope. So far, he still maintained a good record. He was the embodiment of a miracle, an incredible man, but he was always so childish, which really made people feel helpless.
Rozen, who didn't know what Yasna was thinking, just stared at the chaotic battle in front of him and said so bluntly.
"If this is the so-called Aincrad's Liberation Army's elite troops, then I really don't know why King Ya is so obsessed with returning to the frontline."
That was the only thought in Rozen's mind.
However, Yasna was silent for a long time, and then she said.
"… I kind of understand how King Ya feels." Yasna lowered her head and said softly: "As long as I stay in this world for one more day, whether it's my family, friends, or lover, they may leave me. My life in the real world will also collapse. Even when I sleep, I always dream of my original world. In this case, there is only one thought left in my mind, and that is to clear this game as soon as possible, no matter what method I use."
Yasna's words made Rozen a little speechless.
Yasna's words were really touching.
It's just …
"Haven't you changed?" Rozen said: "You shouldn't be dreaming of your original world anymore, right?"
Hearing that, Yasna didn't answer, but turned her head and looked directly at Rozen.
For some reason, Rozen didn't dare to look at Yasna directly.
Because at this moment, the emotion revealed in Yasna's eyes made Rozen's heart beat faster.
Under such circumstances, Yasna spoke.
"This is also thanks to someone."
Asuna said those words with a gentle smile that she had never shown before.
"Thanks to someone who told me," Don't waste the things you brought from the real world, you should smile more in the future. "
