Actually, I have to say, the reason Laughing Coffin speaks like this is also a strategy, aimed at making people angry, and then becoming impulsive, so they can have an easier time.
I have to admit one thing, their goal was achieved, but they couldn't be happy at this moment.
Looking at Kaede's expression, even though they were the murderous Laughing Coffin, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts at this moment.
"No, I was wrong, you don't need to say it again." Looking at them, Kaede twitched the corners of her mouth again, "Because, no matter what, I won't let you go!"
After finishing, Kaede rushed out.
"Kaede!"
"Kaede!"
Asuna and Kirito were both startled at the same time and couldn't help but take out their weapons.
Instantly, Kaede arrived in front of the man in black who spoke just now.
"Just now, was that you?"
"You!" The man in black was shocked in his heart. His eyes even just blurred, and Kaede appeared right under his nose.
"It was me, so what!" Roaring, the man in black slashed an axe at Kaede.
"Ah, nothing much~" Kaede's figure moved slightly and deviated from the axe's trajectory, then raised her sword and slashed down hard.
Instantly, the man in black's figure was sent flying.
"Be careful!" Kirito couldn't help but say.
Because the remaining two men in black, one raised an axe from behind, and one swung a knife from the side.
"Are you guys ambushing?" Kaede turned around, took a few steps back, and asked the person whose axe finally slashed into the ground.
"You!" The man in black wanted to raise his axe again, but it was too late. The next moment, another figure flew out.
"Only one of you is left." Kaede stared at the man in black holding a knife and said.
"..." The man in black was silent, then turned around wanting to run. They were completely not on the same level!
"That jerk!" The two men in black who got up from the ground couldn't help but curse, "We'll slaughter him when we get back!" But, they didn't think about whether they could even go back.
"Run?" Kaede looked at his figure. Didn't she say it before? Want to run in front of her? Impossible!
At this time, Asuna and Kirito had already stopped, looked at each other, and looked at each other in dismay.
Even in Kirito's heart, doubt flashed. Could he really defeat Kaede at this moment?
At this time, Kaede had already started sprinting, staring at the man in black's weakness, and finally slashed down with her sword from top to bottom!
Suddenly, everyone was stunned; no one had reacted.
Because the man in black's HP bar unexpectedly dropped to the bottom in panic, and his whole body turned into fragments and scattered.
"What!!" Asuna and Kirito both widened their eyes. Why? Why did one sword strike...?
Kaede was also a bit shocked in her heart at this moment. She just slashed hard at his weakness with that sword, not expecting it to be an instant kill.
However, Kaede didn't have too much surprise. She turned around, looked at the two people who stood up, her eyes cold.
"You guys have so many weaknesses, so many that I don't even know how I could miss if I tried!" After finishing, Kaede's figure rushed out again.
"Don't!!" At this time, Asuna also reacted. Seeing that Kaede still wanted to make a move, she couldn't help but shout loudly.
Finally, Kaede stopped. At this time, the sword in Kaede's hand was only millimeters away from the forehead of one of the men in black.
Cold sweat broke out from the man in black's forehead, and the axe in his hand had dropped unknowingly.
Kaede's hand was trembling, but in the end, her eyes firmed up; anyone who dared to insult her sister had to die!
"You are the only one I absolutely cannot forgive!!" With that, she swung her blade at the opponent's weak point once more.
"Urgh, urgh!" The man in black watched his HP drop rapidly, opened his mouth, but before he could even speak, he shattered into fragments.
"You bastard!" The man in black next to him reacted, and seeing the stunned Kaede, he swung an axe at her.
"Bang!!"
Of course, this "of course" was Kirito; Kirito had intercepted this man in black. He was truly terrified. If he let that axe land, never mind how much damage it would cause, Kirito was certain she wouldn't survive it.
Although he had no fondness for them, Kirito didn't want to see them die at the hands of his friend.
Kaede looked at Kirito, then sheathed her weapon and turned around, lowering her head, not daring to meet Asuna's gaze.
"This time... I probably won't be forgiven, right?"
"Sister." Kaede knew she had disobeyed Asuna's words. Although the first kill was due to that suddenly appearing skill, more than that, she had truly wanted to slaughter them.
Even now, Kaede didn't regret it; even if she had to choose again, she would still choose to kill that guy.
Just when Kaede thought Asuna would show that look from before, she was astonished to find that wasn't the case; what she received in the end was Asuna's comforting caress.
Kaede lifted her head in surprise.
She saw Asuna walk over, rub Kaede's head, and say: "Kaede, don't take it to heart. If they didn't die, more people would have died at their hands. What you did was also equivalent to saving many people." Only, Asuna didn't know that her voice was trembling. She didn't even know how to comfort Kaede.
"Er." Kaede widened her eyes, finally staring blankly at her sister, then buried herself in Asuna's embrace.
Soothing Kaede, Asuna's hands holding Kaede were also trembling slightly. She was just comforting Kaede; it didn't really mean she could accept this incident, but she also knew she couldn't be like she was before.
Actually, Asuna was wrong. Kaede had no real sense of this incident at all. After all, this was just a game, and there was no situation where blood would splatter everywhere. And Kaede wasn't a young girl raised in a warm environment with high-class education, so she didn't understand this matter itself, let alone fear it.
And what Asuna didn't know was, could her actions really deceive Kaede?
They couldn't, but Kaede didn't say anything, only feeling warm inside. This was her sister, the sister she loved most, and she wouldn't allow, absolutely wouldn't allow, anyone to hurt her!
Meanwhile, Kirito had already sent the remaining man in black to prison. Seeing the sisters hugging, the strangeness in his eyes grew thicker.
"Right, there's one more lying over there." Kaede separated from Asuna at this moment and said.
"Hmm?" Kirito was stunned. That one hadn't escaped? Would he be so stupid?
When Kirito walked over to look, he discovered it wasn't because he was stupid, but because he was paralyzed...
"When?" Kirito was a bit puzzled. It should have been Kaede, but Kirito really hadn't noticed any movement here. At this moment, a chill couldn't help but rise in Kirito's heart. If Kaede ambushed anyone like this...
Shaking his head, Kirito mocked himself. How could that be?
Finally, after Kirito handed this person over for others to deal with, he wanted to leave with Asuna and Kaede.
However, Kaede paused there, seemingly thinking about something.
"Kaede, what's wrong?" Asuna had recovered a bit and asked, worried as she looked at Kaede.
"Sister, was I being possessive before too?" A fragile look appeared in Kaede's eyes, a look she hadn't even shown after cutting down two people just now.
"So that's what you were worried about." Asuna's eyes softened instantly. She walked up, stroked Kaede's head, and said: "It doesn't count. Actually, everyone hopes, more or less, that others will focus their attention on them more, and sister is quite happy that Kaede is like this. But that person just now wasn't like that; that was a pathological possessiveness."
"Kaede, you weren't wrong~"
"Mm!" Kaede nodded happily.
"Hey!!" Kirito interrupted the sisters' conversation at an inappropriate time.
"What's wrong?"
They saw Kirito pointing in a direction, dumbfounded. Kaede and Asuna saw a blurry figure that seemed to be smiling at them.
"This... is that person's wife?" Kaede didn't know about their situation; she only knew a little bit.
"Yeah!" Both Kirito and Asuna swallowed hard and nodded.
"A ghost?" Kaede tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"No way!" Asuna watched the figure disappear and said, shivering slightly.
"Right! You are not allowed to eat today!" Although Asuna didn't want to punish her too severely, she couldn't be too lenient either.
"Er!" Kaede widened her eyes and looked at Asuna imploringly, "Sister, can you change the punishment? Kneeling on the floor is fine too~" As she spoke, she walked over and shook Asuna's arm.
Feeling the touch on her arm, Asuna's face flushed slightly, and in the end, she said: "No!"
Kirito had already turned around, waved at them, and ran away as if fleeing. If he didn't run now, he felt he would be finished; he wouldn't be able to calm down today.
"A ghost, huh..." Heathcliff looked at the screen in front of him, which showed the place where the figure had appeared just now. He had been staring at this side, but he hadn't seen anything.
"That's why it's interesting~ Even a game cannot restrict a person's spirit." A smile appeared on the corner of Heathcliff's mouth, as if some knot in his heart had been untied.
"Kirito, Kaede, Asuna, so can the three of you break the game's restrictions?" Heathcliff watched the figures of the three and narrowed his eyes.
