Mercury Slays Dragon, Xiao Yan Makes Up His Mind

"Wait! Fenrir, the King of Earth and Mountains?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke up, "Are you sure it's this name?"

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. "You've heard of it?"

To be honest, he had heard of Fenrir before.

Before his transmigration, he had read some far-fetched novels, which claimed that in Norse Mythology, Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hela were the three siblings born to the Loki the Evil God and the Female Titan Angrboda.

However, that myth is completely different from the setting in the SAO game.

Fenrir in Norse Mythology is an evil giant wolf who was imprisoned by the Scandinavian Gods before Ragnarok because his ultimate destiny was to devour Odin, the "Allfather" in Norse Mythology.

In SAO, he is the King of Earth and Mountains, a Dual-form BOSS!

Judging from Lu Mingfei's expression, he seemed to have heard of this nickname before...

"Sword Art Online is really fun! I heard the name Fenrir before when Erii Dragon Slaying Department."

Lu Mingfei certainty.

Sword Art Online...

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

When Lu Mingfei said this for the first time, they thought it was Lu Mingfei of the tongue, but the second time he said it, it was obviously not.

This game should actually be called SAO.

The abbreviation for Sword Art Online... even if translated, it should just be "Sword Art Online"...

Everyone automatically attributed this to differences caused by different worlds, and did not interrupt Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei didn't notice his companions' expressions and continued talking to himself, "If this Fenrir is the one I know, using Mercury should be able to improve our overall output level."

"Mercury is highly poisonous to the dragons here!"

"Speaking of which, the dragons in our world are said Central City have been descended from the Dragon Emperor Níðhöggr, whose other name is the Vinster King."

"According to the Norse Mythology book of Elder Edda, at Ragnarok, this giant creature would bite off the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil."

That's all Lu Mingfei remembers.

After all, he was a student Esports Department. Being able to remember a few sentences while auditing classes and show off in front of laymen was already his limit.

In fact, those three sentences were only possible because of the motivational boost from Kamijou Eriy standing next to him.

Asuna, like a model student, raised her hand and asked, "Do dragons really exist in your world?"

"Yes! I saw a live Young Dragon in formalin solution! The kind that could breathe fire!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly became a little smug. "I heard that the higher-generation dragons can never truly die. They are only sealed or have their bodies destroyed, and then they are reborn in the river of time!"

Judging from Kirito and Asuna's appearance, their world should be a world without Supernatural power.

Xiao Yan remained unusually calm. "There are also many magical beasts outside my city, but they don't seem like the dragons here. They seem more like idealistic beings."

"Aren't you Chinese?"

Kirito paused for a moment. "How can there be creatures like magical beasts?"

He suddenly remembered Xiao Yan's hidden profession— Dou Qi Cultivator.

From the perspective of human societal development, how could wild monsters exist outside of cities?

"I'm a time traveler..."

Xiao Yan casually dropped a Big News Morgans: "Before I transmigrated, I was Chinese. Now I'm in a place called Dou Qi Continent."

Of course, in this No. 2 Protagonist Group guild, transmigrators don't seem to be anything new.

After all, the previous state of the cunning "Lu Mingze" didn't seem like a simple case of split personality...

Amidst laughter and conversation, the preparation of the strategy map was completed.

Kamijou Eriy doesn't show strong combat abilities in the game; she's more skilled at alchemy and crafting items.

With her help, everyone's weapons were enchanted with a semi-solid coating.

Within the shimmering weapon, Mercury substance, extremely harmful to dragons, was sealed by a magic circle.

Soon, the group entered the 40th floor of the Stuart Floating City, facing Fenrir, the King of Earth and Mountains.

Leaving aside the details of the strategy, Lu Mingfei, a seemingly lazy player, has to admit that his teammates this time were truly strong.

Xiao Yan, Kirito, Asuna...

There is no weakling!

He's probably the one who drags the team down the most.

Despite having the highest level, second in combat power assessment, and ultimately ranking last in the system's overall contribution to the strategy guide, the system ranked the player last.

This Lu Mingfei somewhat.

Although I didn't give it my all, I must admit...

My teammates were absolutely amazing!

After the raid was completed, everyone collected Dragon King 'Fenrir spoils and distributed them fairly among themselves.

When everyone was planning to have a meal at the tavern, they encountered a very eccentric player.

That player was short, had an odd hairstyle, and was always spouting profound truths that others couldn't understand.

What about cheaters, resource sharing, and the idea that the members of the second Protagonist Group's guild are all selfish and should contribute their equipment for free...

Like Sugou Nobuyuki before him, he attempted to incite the masses to turn against Xiao Yan and his group.

Before his teammates could even react, Lu Mingfei instantly killed the opponent with a single Word Spirit: Monarch's Flame.

He really loves using Chu Zihang's amazing skill of showing off!

Since obtaining this skill during the final stage of the closed beta, Lu Mingfei has treated Junyan as his innate divine power.

After killing the villain who didn't even have a name, Lu Mingfei noticed that the other random players were all shouting "Murder!" and looking like they were in a panic.

"What the hell? What happened?"

Lu Mingfei bewildered.

Killing someone in a game is just one thing; normal PvP is quite common, right?

I didn't encounter such bizarre players during the closed beta.

Are these guys all the legendary Artificial Idiot who just look like gamers?

"The guy you just killed is really dead."

Kirito looked at Lu Mingfei with a half-smile, "I forgot to tell you earlier, the top 10 players on the combat power ranking in the game 'Sword Art Online' have the Killing Permission. If you don't specifically turn it off, the other party will become a vegetable in reality."

Lu Mingfei's face turned deathly pale.

Are you kidding me?

Kirito's getting better and better at pranking people...

However, Asuna and Xiao Yan soon confirmed the truth of Kirito's words.

Speaking of which, although Lu Mingfei killed Caesar and Chu Zihang during the entrance exam, both of them were resurrected afterward, so he hasn't actually killed anyone in the real sense yet...

Battle Through the Heavens Plane.

Wutan City.

Xiao Yan took off his helmet, revealing a sunny smile on his face.

The second task given by the Main God has been completed perfectly and ahead of schedule!

The reward of 1300 Reward Points and a D-grade Destiny Gem is enough for him to buy another EIDU984 Game Helmet!

Starting today, he can fight alongside Xiao Xun'er in SAO and improve his strength at the same time!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's face darkened.

Although Xiao Xun'er never said anything, Xiao Yan had already noticed during their interactions that she was under a lot of pressure. The reason she didn't say anything was simply because she didn't want to cause her any trouble.

He's still too weak!

Too weak!

With the increased rewards from his strategy rating in SAO, he can completely re-condense his Dou Qi Vortex and become Dou Zhe again.

But...

What is a mere Dou Zhe in Wutan City?

In the entire Dou Qi Continent, who does he even count for?

How much can 1,300 Reward Points enhance me?

For a moment, Xiao Yan felt that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Wang Yan.

A person who exists in three worlds at the same time can hardly be an ordinary person, right?

Xiao Yan planned to meet "Wang Yan" in Wutan City.
