Chapter 399 The Fateful Battle Between Master and Disciple

Everyone stood there and looked around, and they gradually came back to their senses.

Just as everyone was about to laugh, three red beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, causing the players' expressions to freeze.

"The battle is not over yet! There is no prompt that the Boss has been killed!"

Lizbeth's words woke everyone up.

They immediately picked up the weapons they had thrown on the ground, used the recovery items to replenish their status, and prepared to continue the next battle.

They had already lost three hundred people, so how many more would die next?

Many people were confused, and their vision became blurred and difficult to focus. They no longer had the idea of ​​fear or cowardice at this moment, but they were confused about their future.

Who knows if the next one to die is themselves, their Pokémon, or other companions?

"Get ready."

Just as Lizbeth raised her arms and prepared to attack the three newly appeared Bosses, she suddenly froze in place.

"Master?"

As Lizbeth stopped talking, Kirito beside her was also stunned.

Dark, Madara, and Izuna have already landed on the field.

"Madara-sama!"

"And Izuna!"

"Isn't that 'Arzeus' the NPC who issues Pokémon quests to us?!"

"What's going on?"

"Why do they have red health bars?"

"Could they be some kind of clone?"

It only took a dozen seconds for everyone to go from the initial surprise after seeing the three people and slowly approaching them to slowly retreating with complicated and vigilant expressions.

There was no way, the three people were really wrong at this time.

Because even the players with red names have green health bars, which are standard for all players, friendly NPCs, and Pokémon.

But only wild monsters and bosses have red health bars.

Moreover, there are title prefixes in front of the names of the three people that only bosses have.

Those are the nicknames given to the three by the players.

[Rare NPC] Arceus.

[The Strongest] Madara.

[Sword Saint] Izuna.

"What's going on? Master."

Lizbeth immediately recognized that the person standing opposite her was definitely not a clone, but her master Madara himself.

Only the master would look at her with such a stern expression and gentle eyes.

"As you can see, Lizbeth, we are just a bunch of data in this world, not real players, and do not exist in your world."

Madara's words directly silenced some of the restless players.

They were about to refute whose game has such high intelligence?

But feeling the presence of Pokémon around him, and looking at this incredible world, it seems that nothing is impossible.

"Do you mean that our interactions over the past year have been fake?"

Kirito lowered his head and clenched the sword in his hand.

He couldn't accept such a statement.

He met Madara and Izuna during the closed beta test in June last year, and it was June this year, a whole year.

"Do you think the days you spent with those Pokémon were fake?"

Banara did not answer Kirito, and the master Izuna did not answer directly.

But his meaning was already very clear.

"Absolutely not!"

The one who shouted was the vice president of the Trainer Association, the 'Cat Master' Silica, "Meowth is not some data in the game. All the memories she brought me, and this feeling, are definitely not fake!"

Silica's tears flowed from her eyes as she spoke. Perhaps she was trying to convince herself that she was unwilling to give up. In short, she would never compromise on this matter.

"."

Meowth shook its tail, jumped into Silica's arms, and licked Silica's tears with its tongue.

"Then why. If you were destined to stand on the opposite side of us from the beginning, why did you help us for so long?"

Kirito's breathing became a little heavy, and Asuna beside him held his hand worriedly.

The past memories gradually became clear, and Kirito seemed to feel that all the things that he felt wrong in the past were connected.

But there were many things he couldn't understand.

Why did Madara lead the team to conquer all 87 floors?

Why did the two of them pass on their skills to the players?

"."x3

The three were silent.

Dark didn't participate in the script discussion between Madara and Izuna, so he didn't speak because he didn't want to disrupt their plans.

"So, you are Senior Sirona, right?"

Kirito looked up at Arceus.

"That's right."

Dark nodded.

"Hehe. It turns out that the final three bosses of Aincrad appeared during the closed beta test and have been with us all the time."

Kirito smiled self-deprecatingly, "I said, how could there be such a powerful human in this world? How could you be so powerful without leaving any clues in the real world?"

"Yes, that makes sense. You have been imprisoned in this world from the beginning!"

Kirito's current state seems to be heading towards the dark direction.

Dark and Madara looked at Izuna at the same time. After all, Kirito was his disciple, and Izuna would be responsible for any problems.

"Kirito."

Izuna remained calm and said quietly, "Say what you just said to Ura next to you."

"."

Kirito gritted his teeth. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Ura next to him.

If Izuna and the others were data imprisoned in the game, then Ura next to him was also like this.

But he couldn't say such cruel words to Ura no matter what.

"Lizbeth, and everyone in Akatsuki, do it."

At this time, Madara took two steps forward and looked at the people standing at the forefront of the strategy group, "You should know that if you don't kill the three of us, you can't leave this world, nor can you go to the 101st floor."

Swish.

As soon as Madara finished speaking, while the people in Akatsuki were still struggling, Zack had already rushed out with all the members of the [Avengers] towards the three people.

Zack knew that Lizbeth and Kirito might not be able to take action, but he would not be soft-hearted.

Snap!

However, just a few steps after Zack rushed out, he was immediately stopped by a ferocious red-haired man.

"Vulcan."

Madara looked at the red-haired figure and murmured.

This was one of the four people who followed Madara at the beginning. The game ID [Vulcan] was an impulsive and irritable man. The only person in the whole Akatsuki who could give him orders was Madara. Even if it was Lizbeth's words, he would decide whether to execute them based on his mood.

"Get out of the way."

Zack held the sickle upright in front of him.

He didn't want to kill the green-named player, but if this person wanted to block him, he would temporarily disable this person.

"I"

Kaguya held the greatsword in one hand, raised his other arm to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Zack with a firm face, "If you want to attack Lord Madara, then kill me."

"Kaguya, don't be impulsive."

The blue-haired squinting eyes hurried over to pull Kaguya away.

"I'm not impulsive, I know what I'm doing!"

Kaguya reached out and gently pushed his partner away, "Mr. Madara saved my life, I promised him that as long as I live in Aincrad, I will fight for him until I die or leave, I will never break the promise I made!"

"You"

Blue-haired wanted to say something, but the next moment, at least half of the members of [Akatsuki] stood behind Kaguya and raised their weapons to the people in the strategy group.

All of them were rescued by Madara in the game and brought back to Akatsuki.

"."

Madara opened his mouth and slightly opened his eyes.

The scene in front of him was in sharp contrast to the scene when he left Konoha more than 50 years ago.

At that time, he was abandoned by the entire Uchiha clan, but now, this group of people would rather die than fight for him, the "traitor".

"Alas"

Madara sighed and gestured to Dark beside him.

They couldn't use words to stimulate the players to attack them, so they had to use another plan.

".Well, I spent a long time choosing the weapon."

Dark looked at Madara like this and shook his head with some regret.

It seems that his shit-stained mop is useless.

Buzz~

As Dark called up the panel to operate for a while.

The players soon found that they had lost control of their bodies and stood there unable to move.

"What's going on?"

Asuna looked around in surprise, and found that everyone seemed to be in the same situation as her, unable to move.

"What's wrong, Asuna?"

Kirito was startled and quickly grabbed Asuna beside him.

"I can't move."

"Hey~"

The same happened to Heracross next to him.

"What?!"

Kirito looked around and suddenly found that there were only two people and two Pokémon left in the entire strategy team who could move.

He and Ura, Lisbeth and Makuhita.

"I'll give you two choices now. One, all players will die in the next moment; two, you and your master and apprentice will duel. If you win, all SAO players will be liberated and return to the real world; if you lose, the result will be the same as what I said just now."

Dark saw that Madara and Izuna didn't seem to be going to speak.

There was no way, so he had to speak up and be the bad guy.

At the same time, Dark continued to jump the panel, removing the boss templates of [Madara] and [Izuna], turning them back into ordinary player templates.

"Go ahead, Lizbeth, do you want to see all these people who trust you die?"

Madara walked towards Lizbeth.

"."

Lizbeth looked back.

The eyes of more than 2,000 people were focused on her at the same time, and everyone's eyes were full of hope.

They were just a little bit away from going home.

At this moment, Lizbeth had made up her mind. She clenched her fists and looked at Madara firmly, and took a step with the Makuhita warriors beside her.

Madara really understood this kind of look.

He had seen it countless times on his opponent, Hashirama Senju, that was the look that could only be revealed after carrying the trust and expectations of countless people.
