The sound of Kradir turning into fragments and exploding was still ringing in his ears.
Looking at the polygonal fragments scattered throughout the transfer gate square, every player present slowly shrank their pupils until they shrunk to the size of a needle tip.
"Varied…!?"
Kirito couldn't help but change his expression.
"what happened…!?"
Klein also shouted and stood up.
"impossible!"
Agil's resolute face also completely changed color.
"This this…"
Asuna couldn't help but take a few steps back, her delicate and pretty face full of panic.
All the players present were shocked.
"What...what's going on...!?"
"Dead...dead...!?"
"impossible!"
"This is obviously inside the circle!"
Everyone panicked and even fell into panic, making noises appear in every corner of the square.
Even Kibaou, who was leading the elite troops, widened his eyes in horror, as if he couldn't believe his own eyes.
And even Kibaou was like this, let alone Cobaz and the rest of the group, their faces all turned livid.
The situation that happened in front of everyone was so unbelievable.
Seeing the polygonal fragments gradually disappearing into the air, Kradir's figure completely disappeared, and the heads of the players present became blank.
What's wrong
What happened
What happened
The players present only had this thought.
It’s not that no one can understand the phenomenon before them.
The scene where players and monsters turned into polygonal fragments and exploded was not unfamiliar at all to those present.
However, precisely because they were no strangers, everyone could not believe what they saw.
No, it should be said that he refused to believe it.
Everyone only knows one thing.
Kradir is dead.
Moreover, he died without any loss when he was inside the circle and his HP gauge was intact.
"impossible…"
As if expressing the thoughts of all the players present, Kirito murmured in a low voice with a shaken expression.
"Impossible...impossible..."
That's right.
impossible.
This is impossible to happen.
If the duel system is used to PK in the circle and the player's HP gauge is exhausted and the player dies, that is another matter.
However, how could a player die for no reason when the HP gauge is full
"asshole!"
"Tsk...!"
Klein and Agil rushed forward to where Kradir was, and kept groping around.
Presumably, these two people thought that Kradir might have used some unknown rare item to fake his death, and they themselves used the "Concealment" skill to hide and escape. Did you just make this move
The other players seemed to have begun to think so, and after reacting, they all joined the groping process.
"This must be an illusion caused by the use of some strange props!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
"Don't think you can fool everyone this way!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Each and every player present made these remarks one after another, and kept searching around with shaken expressions.
Unfortunately, these statements are more about comforting oneself than exposing the truth.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Everything that happened before my eyes was really incredible.
In this gamified world of death, although there are cruel rules that people will die once their HP is exhausted, on the other hand, as long as their HP is not exhausted, players are absolutely safe.
The players present have always believed in this, and they dared to fight on the front line.
However, if death is possible even when HP is not exhausted, then who can remain calm
When I thought of this, the players present couldn't help but act like this, and they all started to commotion.
"Look for it! Find it for me! There must be some kind of deception!"
Even Kibaou roared at the top of his lungs, causing Cobaz and his team to search the surrounding area with livid faces.
However, no matter how much the players searched, they still could not find Kradir who was supposed to exist here.
When surrounded in a circle, it is impossible for players to leave without being able to move others, even if they are hidden by some means.
Therefore, the harder it is to find Kradir, the more players present have to believe it.
Kradir is dead.
He died out of nowhere.
"This kind of thing..."
"How can it be…"
Klein and Agil didn't know when to stop searching and stood there, gritting their teeth and saying these words.
"..."
Kirito was completely silent, looking at the chaotic transfer gate square, unable to say a word.
Even Asuna didn't know how to react at this time.
"Yes...right...! Luo Zhen...!"
Asuna subconsciously looked for Luo Zhen and looked in the direction where Luo Zhen was.
If it were him, he would definitely be able to give a reasonable explanation, right
However, when Asuna looked in Luo Zhen's direction, the scene she saw made her stunned on the spot.
I saw Luo Zhen standing there silently, still holding the crystal sword in his hand, but his eyes were staring in one direction, and what was revealed inside was a sharp light.
And there was a person in the direction that Luo Zhen was staring at.
Knight uniform.
Cross shield.
It was Heathcliff.
At this moment, Heathcliff was also staring in the direction where Kradir disappeared, with an unprecedented sinister expression on his face.
The presidents of the two guilds who had the ability to compete for the title of the strongest guild just stared at each other in the same direction, not knowing what they were thinking. Their expressions were different, but equally solemn.
"Luo Zhen...?"
Asuna couldn't help but grab Luo Zhen's clothes.
Luo Zhen seemed to have reacted. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Asuna, and looked at the panicked players present.
The next second, Luo Zhen was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
"Calm down!"
The strong tone made everyone present seem to have found a backbone and stopped panicking.
Luo Zhen declared like this.
"This must be a fake appearance!"
Luo Zhen asserted.
"It is very possible that Kradir himself used this illusion to escape and used the transfer crystal."
After Luo Zhen said this, the players present reacted.
"right!"
"And the transfer crystal!"
"Kladir must have used the transfer crystal to escape!"
"How careless!"
Everyone became angry one after another, but their expressions became much more relaxed.
Luo Zhen then gave the order coldly.
"Issue a wanted order for me to fully arrest Kradir. The bounty is 10,000,000 koels. I will pay it out of my own pocket. As long as I can catch Kradir, I can claim the bounty. Even if I report my whereabouts, I can get 1,000,000 koels! "
"immediately!"
Luo Zhen's order received responses from players in the strategy team.
As a result, all the players present dispersed and began to issue wanted notices.
Only a few people, including Kirito, Klein, Agil, Kibaou, and Heathcliff, remained here, remaining silent.
Asuna also looked at Luo Zhen silently.
In response, Luo Zhen didn't respond at all. He just turned around and turned his back to everyone, making it impossible for people to see his expression clearly.
