Chapter 684

Aincrad floor 74, Kamdet

After exiting the teleportation portal, Wu Yan yawned . He waited for Asuna’s arrival near the portal .

The two ate a good feast with the super rare food material as the highlight . Wu Yan promised he would wait for Asuna and escort her to her home on the 61st floor’s city of Selmburg .

Due to his sleeping habits, he came a bit later than he promised . He was ready to get a verbal scolding from Asuna but lo and behold, she was nowhere in sight .

Asuna is a person who kept her promise . She’s not someone who would be late for an appointment . Maybe it’s because she stormed off in anger after he failed to show up?

Wu Yan called up his user interface and he opened his friend list to look at Asuna’s position .

In SAO, there is no duration limitation to parties . If the players in a party stayed in a party, they can part ways for an extended duration and the party still won’t be disbanded .

For instance, he parted with Asuna and neither disbanded the party so they can still track each other through their party interface .

Friends can also do the same thing . This is why adding a friend should be a carefully thought out process in SAO . Adding the wrong company would be tantamount to revealing a critical weakness to a potential enemy . In a game world where death is permanent and very real, this is a risky business .

For example, Wu Yan only has Asuna, Kirito, Sachi, s.h.i.+on, Silica, Souta & the other original Black Cats in his friend list . In total, he has no more than 10 in-game friends .

They are both in a party together and they are friends so Wu Yan easily got Asuna’s location from his user interface . Surprisingly, she’s not on the 74th floor nor is she on the 55th floor, so she’s not in her guild office in Granzam . She’s on the 61st floor according to his map . She’s already in Selmburg .

Maybe Asuna is late for once?

Wu Yan rubbed his chin and he suddenly recalled something .

In the original work, Asuna asked Kirito to party up with her to explore the labyrinth . It was more or less a similar scenario to his current one . On the second day, she was held back by her bodyguard, that skeleton-faced dude named Kuradeel .

Is she being bothered by Kuradeel like in the original work?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to him that it is as he had imagined .

Kuradeel is a pervert that would stand guard outside Asuna’s home when she got back . If Asuna met him on the way out, there’s a high chance she would be held back by that creepy guy . Asuna must be late because she’s busy evading Kuradeel .

In the original work, Asuna jumped through the portal to ditch Kuradeel behind . That is the reason why she b.u.mped into the original main character and blessed him with a lucky perv moment .

Don’t tell me…

He turned around to look at the portal with a bitter grin .

“I hope I am wrong…”

The portal lit up and Wu Yan’s expression petrified . A familiar figure shot out from the portal .

“Look out! Jump out of my way!”

Wu Yan’s final thought .

No way, this is just too accurate!

He got bombed by a human missile .

When he perceived the softness pressing against him, he subconsciously reached out to resist the force pus.h.i.+ng him back . He hugged Asuna so she wouldn’t fall as a result of the collision .
