Kirito walked out of the newbie town with Klein.
He said to Klein, "This is the wild area. Wild Monsters often spawn here. Defeating them will give you experience. If you're lucky, you might get special quests, title rewards, or rare item drops."
Klein nodded thoughtfully. "Then the Wild Monsters in the newbie area should be easy to defeat. Should we take this opportunity to hunt more of them?"
Kirito smiled. "That's what I was thinking too."
"So, where do we find these Wild Monsters?"
"Just keep walking, and they'll spawn nearby."
Kirito suddenly paused, his expression hardening.
He instinctively glanced back at the newbie town.
They were already far from the starting city.
But still, no Wild Monsters had spawned.
Logically, with the game just launched, there should still be Wild Monsters!
What exactly was going on?
Was it a bug?
Or was there another reason?
For example, had the Wild Monsters here already been wiped out?
Would they have to wait for the Wild Monsters to respawn before they could continue grinding for experience?
When this thought appeared in Kirito's mind...
It wouldn't go away.
"Klein, let's go check up ahead. If I'm right, the Wild Monsters here should have already been cleared!"
Klein subconsciously repeated, "Cleared? That's impossible! The game just launched!"
Just as Klein was thinking about this, three figures suddenly appeared in his mind.
These three figures were none other than Su Yi and the others.
Klein suddenly said, "Could it be those three guys?!"
Kirito frowned upon hearing this.
"Which three guys?"
Kirito asked urgently.
Klein scratched his head and said, "Right before I saw you, I also saw three people. They rushed out towards the outside. It couldn't be them, could it? That they cleared out all these Wild Monsters!"
Hearing Klein's words, Kirito felt a knot in his stomach.
A thought occurred to him.
If these guys monopolized the Wild Monsters from the start...
Then their leveling speed would be slower.
A single misstep, and everything would be delayed.
The good leveling areas would be continuously occupied by them.
He knew that in SAO, each level up brought significant boosts.
If they started snowballing, they might even reach the pinnacle!
Kirito couldn't accept this at all.
Even though Kirito seemed friendly sometimes.
But when it came to games, he didn't take a backseat to anyone.
If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have challenged a BOSS all by himself during the closed beta.
Furthermore, he wouldn't have continued to be a lone wolf even after SAO became a death game.
At the heart of it all, this was Kirito's pride.
He played games! If he didn't play, then he wouldn't play at all! If he played, he would be the strongest! Thinking of this, Kirito immediately ran towards another Wild Monster area ahead.
Although it was a bit of a detour, that was a place he had discovered during the closed beta.
He figured his leveling speed wouldn't be too far behind those guys.
That way, he wouldn't be too passive later on.
Klein saw Kirito running ahead and quickly followed.
Together with Kirito, they headed towards a relatively distant wild area.
However, what Kirito didn't know was.
These three people were not ordinary at all.
Their leveling speed was completely incomparable to ordinary people!
If Kirito's agility attribute was already far superior to others when he entered the game.
Then Su Yi's all attributes far exceeded those of ordinary players.
Added to that, Asuna's Acceleration fruit, she had an extra ability from the very beginning, compared to other players.
You could say they were true cheaters, absolutely!
How could Kirito even compare to them?
While Kirito was heading to another wild area to level up…
Su Yi and his two companions had already engaged the strongest Wild Monster in that area.
It was an elite Wild Monster called the "Boar King"!
At that moment, Su Yi was level "3", Asuna and C.C. were both level "2".
The Boar King on the other hand, was level "5"!
For a game like SAO, where level was prioritized, the pressure the Boar King put on the three of them was still quite significant.
"Roar~"
The Boar King in front of them roared.
The Boar King, with its massive tusks, stared at the three figures before it with red, bestial eyes.
Drool dripped from its mouth, pooling on the grass.
Its body was a picture of solid muscle.
As the Boar King, its strength was probably considerable.
But, the three of them were tough customers!
Asuna and C.C., who already had some experience, charged towards the Boar King with perfect coordination.
They held their weapons at their sides.
Light gathered above them.
This was the most basic skill in SAO, Slash.
It could slightly increase the power of the Slash.
With the activation of the skill's light, both women were already able to skillfully release their skills.
The sword light flickered.
The blade swept across the Boar King's body.
Fragmented bloodstains appeared on the Boar King's body.
However, the two of them couldn't deal much damage to the Boar King with their attacks.
Instead, it enraged the Boar King!
Only the Boar King's roar could be heard as it charged towards Asuna, who was closest to it, with terrifying tusks.
Asuna's eyes narrowed.
If she got hit by this thing, even if she didn't die, she'd be left with a sliver of health.
It would definitely affect her leveling progress!
Thinking this, Asuna didn't hesitate in the slightest and whispered, "Acceleration!"
In an instant, Asuna's body seemed to break through the limits of SAO.
Her entire speed increased significantly.
She barely managed to dodge the Boar King's charging attack.
However, after Asuna dodged the attack, the Boar King didn't stop.
Instead, it charged towards Su Yi.
Su Yi's chosen weapon was a Greatsword.
The requirements for strength were already very high.
So, in terms of attack power, it had considerable damage! Su Yi not only didn't dodge the Boar King's attack.
Instead, relying on his own abilities, he swung his greatsword and smashed it towards the Boar King in front of him! Boom! A huge sound rang out.
A gust of wind immediately erupted from the center of the two.
The wind pressed down on the green grass, scattering outwards.
It blew Asuna and C.C.'s hair.
One could only see that Su Yi's feet were deeply embedded in the earth.
His HP bar hadn't decreased even a single iota.
Instead, it was the Boar King's sharp tusks that were broken by Su Yi's attack.
They fell to the ground, turning into fragments that vanished before everyone's eyes.
The Boar King's health bar dropped dramatically, losing more than half its total.
It was clear just how impressive Su Yi's full "S" stat bonus truly was!
"Alright, let's take down this elite monster! I bet we'll be the first to do it!"
As Su Yi's words faded.
The three of them charged toward the elite Boar King simultaneously! A chilling aura erupted...
