It has been more than two months since Aincrad's First Floor was cleared.
More than two months was enough time for the players and guilds who made a name for themselves in the original game to become well-known.
Because of the clearing of the first floor, some of the originally dispirited players suddenly realized that this game could be cleared.
The First Floor Boss was not that invincible!
Therefore, after clearing the first floor, the elites among the players began to spontaneously organize themselves and work hard to liberate everyone trapped in SAO!
They were called the Clearers by all the players!
In the beginning, the Clearers were composed of more than a dozen guilds of different sizes. These guilds put in a lot of effort to clear the game, but at the same time, they also paid a heavy price.
In order to clear the game, Clearers were constantly dying and disappearing from the game, as well as the real world.
In the end, the Clearers were led by the four major guilds!
Fuurinkazan, Army, Divine Dragon Alliance, Knights of the Blood!
In addition to these four major guilds, there was another force that couldn't be ignored, and that was the solo players!
These solo players either participated in the Closed Beta Test and had first-hand information that could make them stronger quickly, or they were veteran RPG players. Even if they didn't participate in the Closed Beta Test, they could rely on their past experience to become an elite player!
With the efforts of all the Clearers, SAO's clearing speed greatly increased.
However, in the hearts of all the players, even the Clearers, there were only two people worthy of their admiration!
To be exact, it was a two-person team!
Prince White Fox, Yakumo! Winged Dragon Princess Silica!
The two of them cleared all ten floors of SAO! And the Clearers only managed to clear the tenth floor with all of them combined!
The two of them, together with all the Clearers, cleared half of the Floors!
And now, SAO has cleared 20 Floors!
Every time Eight-cloud Ink and Silica found the First Floor Boss room before the Clearers, it meant that the First Floor Boss room would be cleared by Eight-cloud Ink and Silica before the Clearers!
Eight-cloud Ink and Xili had become legends in the hearts of the players!
However, as the Winged Dragon Princess, Silica knew very well that she was just a bystander from the beginning to the end.
Although Silica's level and equipment were far better than the average Players and even the Clearers' Elite Players, every time they fought the Boss, Eight-cloud Ink was the only one in charge.
Xili was just using Pina to heal Eight-cloud Ink from the back.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Silica, who was responsible for healing the party's HP, was no less important than Eight-cloud Ink. However, Silica knew that even without her, Eight-cloud Ink could still solo the Boss!
Eight-cloud Ink didn't show the slightest impatience or disgust in front of Silica. Instead, Eight-cloud Ink would comfort Silica whenever she couldn't help herself. This kind of behavior made Silica very touched.
It's just that many times, in the dead of night, Silica couldn't help but wonder if she had become a burden to Eight-cloud Ink. If she wasn't there, would Eight-cloud Ink become stronger? Would they be able to clear SAO faster?

Dusk fell.
Eight-cloud Ink and Silica walked out of the 20th Floor Labyrinth and were on their way back to the town.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of them.
To be more precise, a group of people had surrounded another group of people in the middle.
"Hey, Brother Mo, something seems to be happening in front …" Silica pulled Eight-cloud Ink's sleeve and pointed to the front with a worried expression, "Shall we go and take a look?"
After spending a few months in SAO, although she was protected by Eight-cloud Ink, Silica still came into contact with the dark side of the game, and she was no longer as naive as she was in the beginning.
As soon as she saw the situation in front of her, Silica subconsciously thought that someone was robbing the players.
This was the wild, and players were allowed to PK each other.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the situation in front of them and walked over with Silica.
Before the two of them got close, they attracted the attention of the group of people.
Seeing Eight-cloud Ink and Silica walking over, the players were stunned. When they saw the equipment of the two, especially the white fox on Eight-cloud Ink's neck and Pina on Silica's head, their eyes widened.
"This outfit …"
"Could it be the white fox prince and the winged dragon princess!?"
"Oh my god … it's actually them …"
Eight-cloud Ink walked in front of the group of people and frowned slightly.
The circle of players outside had orange player logos above their heads.
Orange meant that these players had launched malicious PK actions against other players in a short period of time.
Looking at the four men and one woman surrounded in the middle, who only had half of their HP left, Eight-cloud Ink and Silica looked at each other and understood the current situation.
"You … are you robbing us?"
Eight Cloud Ink took a step forward and said. Although his tone was calm, the crowd felt an enormous pressure when they heard it. "Don't worry.
The pressure brought by his fame.
"You … who are you?"
Although they had guessed the identity of Eight-cloud Ink, the leader of the group still didn't give up and asked, but his expression was full of caution and fear.
Eight-cloud Ink didn't answer directly. Instead, he took out the folding fan at his waist and gently opened it, revealing the nine-tailed fox portrait on the fan.
This folding fan was a God-tier equipment named "Ask the Heavens" after Eight-cloud Ink used various precious items and crystals to strengthen the beginner's folding fan countless times by hiring a blacksmith.
In order to strengthen a blank beginner's equipment into a God-tier equipment, Eight-cloud Ink's investment was enough for him to buy ten other God-tier weapons.
After all, Eight Cloud Ink had dropped countless pieces of equipment during this period, but none of them were fan-type.
Eight-cloud Ink was already used to using folding fans as a weapon, so he didn't want to use swords and sabers. Therefore, he could only strengthen the beginner's folding fan.
"Ask the Heavens, White Fox!"
This folding fan called "Ask the Heavens, White Fox" was the same as the nine-tailed fox on Eight-cloud Ink's neck. It was a symbol of his identity.
Seeing this, the group no longer had any doubts.
The leader of the group unwillingly looked at the four men and one woman that they had surrounded. When he saw Eight-cloud Ink's expression become more and more serious, he could only leave with his people.
"Count yourselves lucky!"
After the group of players that had surrounded them left, one of the four men and one woman who was slightly taller walked up and bowed to Eight-cloud Ink, "Thank you for saving us!"
"Thank you!" The three men and one woman behind the man also thanked him.
Eight-cloud Ink smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite. By the way, who were those people just now?"
When he heard Eight-cloud Ink mention those people, the leader of the group showed an angry expression. He then said unwillingly, "They don't get along with us in real life, so they always make things difficult for us when we meet them in the game … Right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Keita, the leader of the Moonlit Black Cats. These are my classmates from the same club, so we formed a guild in the game!"
Moonlit Black Cats?
Eight-cloud Ink showed a look of understanding. He didn't expect that the guild he had unintentionally saved was the tragic guild that was wiped out not long after Kirito died.
Looking at the short-haired girl in the crowd who was looking at her with a curious and timid expression, Yakumo chuckled.
That girl, is Xin Mei?
