40 ⌜Chapter 34⌟

The hunt started and the red players ran like headless chickens, it was normal as they didn't have any leaders. They mostly move bullying low level players and now the ones hunting them were high-level players. It became but a chasing hunt.

Tanaka who started this hunt is of course is not just watching. He is by himself, moving deep into the forest, he didn't know if this was a hierarchy in the red players but somehow, the deeper it was in the forest, the strongest the red players were hiding.

The players he brought were cleaning up the ones outside, and some were placed to block the possible escape routes so that no one will be able to escape, Tanaka really made sure to clean all of the red players in the game.

Walking forward, Tanaka slashed every red names he saw without mercy, of course, he did not discriminately killed all of them, those who surrendered were left with a silver of their Health Bar while those who tried to resist were immediately killed without hesitation.

Its not that Tanaka doesn't care about life but if he left out these red players, they will cause havoc in the outside world, just like what happened in the GGO where a laughing coffin member started killing other players, simply, he is not just killing any humans, but beasts in human skin and this is the only thing he could do for the others.

He was not even sure if he will stay in this world after he clears SAO. but of course, he still hopes to explore the outside world. The technology of this world is much advanced than the one from his past life after all.

Virtual Reality Technology is every gamers dream. Heck, Tanaka is even curious if there is already a VR Hent- Technology here, if possible, he was going to the advanced where all senses are the same as from the reality, but well, that is for another time.

In every path of Tanaka, there would be some players who were lying around or small particles of light that illuminated his path. Which came from the red players he killed, every red players looked at him with horror while the army following him looked at him with admiration.

It differed greatly from the Madara who everyone looked at him with fear, Tanaka smiled liking this new feeling, then he looked at the red players who ran away.

Tanaka ventured deeper into the forest until he arrived in front of a cave. It was also the place where all the red players started grouping up. Tanaka didn't go inside immediately and waited for the army behind him to reach.

About a few minutes later, all of them arrived and surrounded the cave, Asuna also arrived along with the KoB members she had chosen.

"They are inside, they may have laid traps in there"

Asuna warned.

"No shit Sherlock, but whatever, I will go first. Follow after me"

Tanaka then suddenly changed his weapon, it was the combo sword and shield also known as SnS, his shield was but a small black crystal shield and a silver colored short sword, his armor also changed into light armor with a red cape behind and a crown appeared on top of his head.

The players who saw his new appearance could not help but be in awe as they saw how cool Guild Master Ice's new appearance, he looked like a King who was going to charge in the battlefield.

"Now, then"

Tanaka bent his legs and charged forward in a great speed. as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the ground started shaking and from the inside, a huge boulder was rolling towards him.

Tanaka did not stop charging and when he was in front of the boulder, he swung his small sword and the boulder is cut in half but Tanaka is not done yet, he raised his shield and smashed it towards the boulder.

*Boom!

The boulder collided with the buckler of Tanaka and it blasted the boulder into pieces, turning into little bits of rocks, and Tanaka continued charging forward.

The army behind him were astonished and then cheered loudly as they saw him continuing forward.

"Charge!"

The other players yelled in excitement as they charged forward, Asuna who saw this was more shocked than ever.

"So this is the power of Guild Master Ice? even Guild Master Heathcliff will not be able to do that!"

She exclaimed in surprise, he was just too powerful! She then commanded her troop to follow after the army that charged towards the cave.

Guild Master Ice charged forward without fear and blasted every traps that were laid by the red players, it didn't take long for them to reach deep of the cave where there was a large space inside.

Tanaka looked around and saw many small caves inside and the red players were hiding inside and there are also some laying ambush.

One that caught his eyes were red players wearing black robes with emblems on their clothes, the laughing coffins.

Tanaka didnt attack immediately and waited for the excited army behind him, and when they arrived, the fight immediately broke out.

As if injected with some kind of steroids, the members of the iceforge attacked with full aggressiveness, it was as if they were the red players and not the other.

Well, Tanaka didnt mind while his army is fighting, he was looking around, he doesn't really care about the other red players anymore, his target is the laughing coffins, in the Anime, most of the members were caught except for one player.

The leader of the red guild, he forgot the name but that guy was his main target then the other members of the laughing coffins, a few moments later, he found a head peeking from one of the caves and immediately charged towards it.

*Swoosh!

Tanaka arrived at the cave and there he saw, the laughing coffin members huddled together.

*Slash!

Without hesitation, Tanaka immediately slashed out his sword taking one life after another but just as he was about to eliminate all of them, he stopped, because the last one is a green player who was shivering in the corner.

"Remove your cloak or you will die"

The one in the cloak shivered uncontrollably and removed the cloak covering its face, there he saw a beautiful girl with tears in her eyes while looking at him with fear.

"P-please, I didnt do anything wrong, I was just buying supplies f-for them"

She immediately pleaded.
