Chapter 639

Aincrad, 35th floor, the Forest of Wandering .

There’s a special boss that will only sp.a.w.n on this night alone, it will drop a revival item upon defeat .

A revival item is a very rare item . It’s so rare that it should get its own cla.s.s of rarity . After tonight, the boss won’t sp.a.w.n again . There can only be one revival item and only one person can get it .

This is literally a one-of-a-kind item in SAO .

The most important thing in SAO isn’t equipment or Cors . It’s the player’s own life because game over in-game equal game over in real-life .

A revival item means carrying around an extra life . Its a rarity is also a feature that many coveted since there’s only one such item in the entire game . A lot of players started gathering on this floor .

They are mostly frontliners or guild members related to frontliners . In terms of information gathering speed, frontliners are the people who are the most efficient at gathering such information . While the average players are still waiting for more news, they are already in the forest .

In the original story, Kirito who wanted to revive Sachi came here with Fuurinkazan . Divine Dragons Alliance also stalked the former parties .

However, most of the core raid players are here for this boss . Suffice to say that the story has deviated from the original storyline .

He can more or less guess why the events deviated from the original story . For one, Kirito wasn’t desperate enough to a.n.a.lyze the information and deduce the boss’s location because Sachi didn’t die nor was he close to Sachi in this version of SAO . He did everything in his power to prepare for this boss fight because he wanted to revive Sachi in the original work, he even went so far as to challenge the boss on his own, almost dying in the process . He did all that because Kirito didn’t want the item falling into anyone’s hands .

Sachi and Kirito treated each other like fellow frontliners, they didn’t even talk much during the two or three times they met .

Kirito had a laidback att.i.tude, the others caught up as a result .

Almost all active raid players are here for the revival item .

The players took up four main areas at the entrance of the Forest of Wandering .

The eastern-most faction all had red armors, they had the characters of Fuurinkazan written somewhere on their weapons . Leading them, Klein oversaw dozens of members . They aren’t the gang with the most members here but they had a very organized feel around them . n.o.body doubted that they had the ability to take down the boss .

Next to them, the Divine Dragons Alliance sent a squad with no apparent leader . They are the group with the most disorganized looks among them all . The members also looked very shady . They looked like a bunch of very dodgy individuals . Without fail, each of them gave everyone a bad impression .

The Moonlit Black Cats stood near the Divine Dragons, the Black Cats are led by Souta . Other than the original group of male guild members, the rest were newcomers . Sachi and s.h.i.+on didn’t come for this raid . They are not prepared for this raid . At least, they aren’t quite frontline material yet . Sachi is mostly tasked with the administrative task within the Moonlit Black Cats . s.h.i.+on is the official potion master of the guild, she rarely partic.i.p.ated in battles but that’s fine with her, she liked to stay away from the battlefield anyway .

The Black Cats aren’t wearing uniform armors like Fuurinkazan, but, their equipment is top-notch . Souta used his relations.h.i.+p with Wu Yan to buy cheap uber-gears .

Wu Yan stood at the very top of the player base . His levels and capabilities allowed him to get his hands on quality equipment . He had no use for so much equipment so he tasked Souta & co with the disposal and handling of equipment . Soon, they had enough funds from previous dealings to buy any equipment Wu Yan put up for sale .

The Knights of Blood are also present . They can be recognized from their mainly white armor which is red-gilded . Their capes are also very well-designed as well .

There are only about a dozen KoB members here . They are about the same number as the attendees from Fuurinkazan and Moonlit Black Cats . Only the Divine Dragons sent way more members than the other guilds .
