Chapter 644 (1/2)

Chapter 644: 644

The final strike rang throughout the snowy sky . The noise also continued to baffle the coalition of Divine Dragons and the Army .

The boss was going to die in their hands, someone came in to sneak the last hit in .

Driven by rage and frustration, members from both guilds started turning red-eyed . They forgot how they tried to steal a boss kill .

Wu Yan let the data fragments rain over him as he examined the item logs for his drop . He saw a gilded rhombus object and he materialized it in his hands . There’s a blue jewel in the center of this item .

He fiddled with it and then he tapped it to examine the item description .

“Hmm… Divine Stone of Returning Stone . ‘The item can be activated on the player’s shortcut menu or by holding the materialized item and uttering «Revive … [Player’s Name]» . The effect will only work during the time frame between the death of the player and the disappearance of the item’s effect light, which is approximately ten seconds . ’ Ah, I see, so it has a time-limitation after all…”

He read the item’s effect aloud, returning them to their senses . Pa.s.sionate eyes fell upon the stone in his hand .

This is the only revival item tonight, it is also probably the only revival item in the entire game . They treated the item with a healthy amount of skepticism . Death in-game is equal to death outside in the real world . Can a game item even revive a dead person outside in the real world?

They didn’t think so .

They sent out guild members on the off-chance that this item turns out to be authentic . In short, they wanted to check it themselves .

Although it’s limited by time, its revival effect is true .

An item that can revive a player…

The others kept their eyes on the Divine Stone of Returning Soul . Even Asuna, Souta, and Klein treated the object seriously . Kirito is the only one who looked like he could do without the item .

Wu Yan gave the other players a sarcastic smile . He stored away the Stone after letting them take a good look . Then, he started walking towards the exit .

The Dragons and The Army exchanged a look as greed overwhelmed their rationality . They surrounded Wu Yan from all sides .

Asuna, Kirito, Souta, and Klein turned ghastly pale .

“As expected, they want to rob the item, huh?”

Souta snickered .

“I gave these idiots too much credit…”

“Hey, think we should go to help him?”

Klein elbowed Souta again .

“We can’t let the Dragons or the Army attack him, that will affect all of us!”

Asuna and Kirito recalled how Wu Yan stated his history of killing others . They were worried that Wu Yan might kill all the Dragons and the Army here, which would significantly slow down their progress in Aincrad .

They are d.a.m.nable a.s.sholes but they felt like these players shouldn’t be executed for letting greed get to their heads . For the greater good, they couldn’t allow their deaths here .

“Stop right there!”

Asuna stood out with her guild members in tow . They stood between Wu Yan and the coalition of kill-stealers .

“The boss fight is over, he also obtained the item via the last hit . There’s no use fighting over this matter any further!”

Asuna continued .

“Do you want to harm yourselves over trying to rob another player outside of raids and battles?”

“Vice-leader…”

The leader for the Dragons came as he accused Wu Yan by pointing at him .

“He’s not someone in our raid group, the rule and norms between us do not apply to him, isn’t that right?”

“Yeah!”

The Army also glanced at Wu Yan as they tried to sling mud on Wu Yan .

“Vice-leader, the rules do not protect him, if it does, we will be very displeased!”

“You’re talking about frustration with me?”
