The sound of Klatyr exploding reverberated in everyone's ears.
Looking at the polygonal fragments scattered across the plaza, every player's pupils shrank to the size of a needle.
"Wh …!?"
Kirito's expression changed drastically.
"What's going on …!?"
Klein also stood up and shouted loudly.
"Impossible!"
Aikir's resolute expression changed completely.
"This … this …"
Asuna couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her delicate face was full of panic.
Every player in the plaza turned pale with fright.
"What … what's going on …!?"
"He … he's dead …!?"
"Impossible!"
"This is clearly within the Safe Zone!"
The crowd panicked and even fell into a state of panic, causing noises to ring out from every corner of the square.
Even King Of Ya, who led the elite troops, widened his eyes in horror. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
If even King Of Ya was in such a state, there was no need to mention Cobartz and the others. Everyone's expression turned ashen.
What happened in front of everyone was just that unbelievable.
As the polygonal fragments gradually disappeared into thin air, Klatyr's figure completely vanished. The players' minds went blank.
What's going on?
What's going on?
What exactly happened?
That was the only thought left in the minds of the players.
It wasn't that no one could understand what had happened.
The scene of players and monsters exploding into polygonal fragments was no stranger to the spectators.
However, it was precisely because they were familiar with it that they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
No, it was more accurate to say that they refused to believe it.
They only knew one thing.
Klatyr was dead.
Moreover, he had died within the circle when his HP bar was still in perfect condition. There was not even the slightest reduction in his HP bar.
"Impossible …"
Kirito muttered in a low voice as if he had spoken out the thoughts of every player in the plaza.
"Impossible … Impossible …"
He was right.
Impossible.
This was something that could not possibly happen.
It would be a different story if a player used the duel system to PK within the circle, causing them to exhaust their hp and die.
However, how could a player die for no reason when their HP bar was full?
"Bastard!"
"Tsk …!"
Klein and Aikir rushed forward and went to where Klatyr had been and kept searching.
Presumably, those two thought that Klatyr might have used some unknown rare item to fake his death, and they used Concealment or something like that to hide and take the opportunity to escape.
The rest of the players seemed to think so too. After they came to their senses, they joined the ranks of exploring.
"This must be an illusion caused by the use of some strange tool!"
"Don't even think of escaping!"
"Don't think that you can fool everyone with this!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The players in the plaza made such comments one after another, and with a shaken expression, they kept searching around.
Unfortunately, those comments were not so much to expose the truth, but to comfort themselves.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Everything that was happening in front of him was simply too unbelievable.
In this death game world, although there was a cruel rule that players would die once their hp was exhausted, on the other hand, as long as their hp was not exhausted, the players were absolutely safe.
The players in the plaza had always believed in that, which was why they dared to fight in the front line.
However, if they could die before their hp was exhausted, who could remain calm?
When they thought of that, the players in the plaza couldn't help but act like that, and one by one, there was a commotion.
"Search! Search for him! He must have used some kind of trick! "
Even Kibaz was shouting at the top of his lungs, causing Cobartz's group to search the surroundings with ashen faces.
However, no matter how hard the players searched, they couldn't find Klatyr, who was supposed to be here.
After being surrounded, the players couldn't leave without being able to move, even if they used some kind of concealment method.
Therefore, the more they couldn't find Klatyr, the more the players in the plaza had to believe it.
Klatyr was dead.
He really died for no reason at all.
"This kind of thing …"
"How is that possible …"
It was unknown when Klein and Agil had stopped their search. They stood at the same spot and gritted their teeth as they said those words.
"…"
Kirito was completely silent as he looked at the chaos in the plaza, unable to say a word.
Even Asuna didn't know how to react at this moment.
"That's … that's right …! Rozen …! "
Yasna subconsciously looked for Rozen, and looked in the direction where Rozen was.
If it was him, he should be able to give a reasonable explanation, right?
However, when Yasna looked in the direction where Rozen was, she was stunned by the scene that greeted her.
Rozen stood silently in the same place, still holding the crystal sword in his hand, but his eyes were fixed in a certain direction, emitting a sharp glint.
And in the direction where Rozen was staring, there was a person.
Knight's attire.
Cross Shield.
It was Heathcliff.
At this moment, Heathcliff was also staring in the direction where Klatyr disappeared, and his expression was unprecedentedly sinister.
The two guild leaders who had the ability to compete for the title of the strongest guild stared in the same direction, thinking about something. Their expressions were different, but they were equally solemn.
"Rozen …?"
Yasna couldn't help but tug at the corner of Rozen's clothes.
Only then did Rozen react, and he retracted his gaze, looking at Yasna, and then at the panicking players.
In the next second, Rozen was silent for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Calm down!"
His strong tone made everyone present feel as if they had found their backbone, and they stopped panicking.
So Rozen declared.
"This must be a fake illusion!"
Rozen asserted.
"Klatyr himself might have used this illusion to escape, using the Teleportation Crystal."
After hearing Rozen's words, the players present finally reacted.
"Yes!"
"And the Teleportation Crystal!"
"Klatyr must have used the Teleportation Crystal to escape!"
"How careless!"
Everyone was indignant, but their expressions were much more relaxed.
Only then did Rozen coldly ordered.
"Issue a bounty for Klatyr. The bounty is 10000000 Cor, and I will pay for it myself. As long as we can capture Klatyr, we will be able to claim the bounty. Even if we report his whereabouts, we will still get 1000000 Cor!"
"Immediately! Immediately! "
Rozen's order was met with the response of the clearers.
And so, the players dispersed and began to issue the bounty.
Only Kirito, Klein, Aikir, King Of Ya, Heathcliff, and a few others remained silent.
Yasna also looked at Rozen in silence.
