Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Life Absorption, a unique skill of the Lich, continuously drains the opponent's stamina when used on them, causing them to become exhausted and faint.

While this move is of limited use against monsters, it is extremely effective against humans.

Kazuma, clinging to the powerful figure, was already imagining what it would be like to receive a million dollars.

Kirito was also taken aback: "What the heck?! Where did you come from?!"

Then, instinctively, he raised his leg and swung it out, sending Kazuma flying several meters away.

"How...how is this possible?" Kazuma shouted from mid-air, "Why isn't life absorption working?"

It's not that it doesn't work.

Kirito looked at his health bar and found that one bar had inexplicably been drained. Had the opponent absorbed it?

Kazuma felt that although he had succeeded, his opponent did not show any signs of exhaustion, which meant that his skill had not worked.

Kirito could explain this by saying: People can get exhausted, but what does that have to do with my character?

Kazuma quickly stood up. Although he understood the difference between the two, he knew that even if he was just bluffing, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

Although he tripped and fell, he pretended to be fine: "Hey! You over there in black! This giant toad is the target I've been eyeing for a while, I can't let you have it!"

Kirito then had a chance to examine the person who attacked him.

Isn't this an old acquaintance and the real king?

As the ultimate freak king who roams the Eternal Land, he sometimes disgusts not only his opponents but also his teammates.

But the important thing is not Kazuma himself, but his three teammates.

Akya's mesmerizing laughter still echoes in my mind.

Huihui is notorious for all sorts of evil deeds in the Eternal Land: stealing jungle monsters, cutting off minion waves, and even destroying the fountain...

As for Darkness, he's even more of a heavyweight, chasing after anyone he sees and sticking to them with taunts and a small combo.

Kirito looked around at the other person, left, right, and behind him, and only relaxed after confirming that there was only one person.

When Kazuma saw that the other party didn't care about him at all, he got angry: "What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me, Kazuma?"

"No." Kirito sheathed his sword behind his back. "I just breathed a sigh of relief when I didn't see that you had that idiot goddess with you."

His attitude towards these four people was to avoid getting too involved, because who knows what trouble they might cause if he got entangled with them.

Besides, they're not exactly bad people, so keeping them in SAO wouldn't have much of an impact... probably not, right?

Just as Kirito was pondering whether this was feasible, Kazuma suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, how do you know that Aqua is a goddess?"

He didn't believe the other party would make baseless accusations, so there was only one possible answer.

Kazuma pointed at Kirito in surprise and said, "Could it be that you, like 'Mitsuken Hibiki,' are also someone Aqua is responsible for reincarnating?"

Kirito paused, thinking of his past, which involved time travel and rebirth.

So he decisively shook his head: "Sorry, no."

"Then why did you pause before answering?"

Kazuma became increasingly certain that the other person was like him.

Then he leaned over and put his arm around Kirito's shoulder, acting like the two were very close: "Don't be shy. To be honest, I'm actually quite familiar with Aqua. Do you want me to introduce you?"

"No need." Kirito pushed the person away. "And please don't be so familiar with me."

Kazuma chuckled and muttered, "Tch, the relationship plan failed, huh?"

But he was not discouraged. If one plan failed, he would come up with another. Since he couldn't get close to the other party, he would try to win them over.

Anyway, the other party seems very strong, so I won't suffer any losses.

So he tried inviting them, "How about we team up to hunt down that giant toad? As a reward, I'll give you 100,000 Eris after we're done."

"Well, that's 100,000 Eris!"

"Just say yes, you're guaranteed to make a profit!"

Kirito declared righteously, "But I refuse!"

"Why? Is 100,000 not enough? Then 150,000 will do. That's the highest we can go."

He Zhen patiently persuaded her, but in reality, he didn't give her much more money.

"It's not about the money," Kirito explained. "You've got it wrong; there's no problem at all."

"What's the problem?" Kazuma asked, puzzled.

Kirito pointed to the enormous creature in the distance: "Because that thing isn't the giant toad you were talking about at all."

"Are you kidding me?" Kazuma said speechlessly, "That thing has horizontal pupils, webbed feet, and dark green skin. What else could it be but a giant toad?"

"This is..."

Kirito hesitated, not wanting to say anything, but he couldn't very well say that this was the boss in SAO, could he?

It's easy to imagine that if I told them, they would be even less likely to believe me.

The amount of information contained in this is enormous, including the dimensional barrier, SAO, players... it's not something that can be explained in a short time.

It's too much trouble, so I'll just leave it at that.

Kirito's silence, however, was seen by Kazuma as an exposure of his lie: "See? He has nothing to say now."

"...You're right." What else could Kirito say but agree?

Then, with his arms crossed, he changed the subject: "But you can't have that monster!"

"You now have two choices: either leave here, or we will send you to see the goddess Eris."

As a boss in SAO, it should be the players who defeat it.

Moreover, Kirito's actions prevented the other party from going to their death. After all, a BOSS is still a BOSS, and not someone that Kazuma could easily mess with.

Instead of making a choice immediately, Kazuma pointed at Kirito and complained, "You know about the existence of the goddess Eris, yet you say you're not the same kind of person as me?"

"You're really troublesome, I've already told you I'm not!"

Then Kazuma began to think of a solution.

First of all, retreating is out of the question. Even if it's for a million dollars, what's wrong with seeing Eris once?

Then we have no choice but to give it our all.

"Strike first, take this!" Kazuma drew his bow and arrows and fired them at Kirito in quick succession.

Kirito found the attack rather boring.

He drew the 'Thunder God Tiger Sword' with his left hand and, in a few swift movements, either deflected or severed the incoming arrows.

After finishing his move, Chaofeng said, "I can even catch bullets, let alone your mere arrows?"

"Really?" Kazuma was dumbfounded.

From then on, life absorption and sniping became ineffective, leaving him with very few means of attack.

"It's time to end."

Since the other party is so insistent, Kirito is not unwilling to grant their request.

I wonder if Kazuma, who died in SAO, will be resurrected in the main city, or resurrected by the goddess Eris in the same spot?

At this moment, the other party exuded a strong sense of pressure, and Kazuma swallowed hard to hide his panic.

Then Kirito charged toward him.

In a panic, Kazuma unleashed his skill: "Steal!"

The thieving skill has been activated.

A dazzling white light shone from his palm, forcing Kirito to stop and shield his eyes.

When the light faded, Kirito touched his belongings—clothes, pants...good, nothing was missing.

He knew how dangerous thieving skills were; in the original story, he often stole women's panties.

Fortunately, the success rate is worrying, but I don't seem to be affected.

"What? It's nothing special~"

Just as Kirito was about to draw another longsword from behind him to kill his opponent, his right hand, which he reached behind his back, found nothing.

Kirito's expression stiffened, as if he realized something: "It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

Then, as if in response to his question, Kazuma let out an excited scream: "Oh, Adarimo Adari!"

Won the jackpot!

"But this is so heavy."

Kazuma laboriously lifted the interpreter with both hands, then slowly raised it above his head to admire it.

Kirito was shocked: "The Explainer I just mentioned!"

Having only used three layers, is the interpreter already leaving me?
