Ep 20. E 20

Kirito, accompanied by Sinon, arrives at a vast, rocky plain. There, they are joined by Leafa and recon troopers from the Sylph and Cait Sith factions. Yeah, just another day in the life of our heroes. The group's objective is to use Sinon's amazing sniper skills to lure out Death Gun so they can finally catch him in the act. Easier said than done, right?

Leafa and Kirito argue over the best way to proceed, but ultimately it's decided that Sinon will pick a spot and focus on reconnaissance while the rest of the team moves to deflect the enemy's attention.

However, as they move to their positions, Kirito and Leafa run into some unexpected Sylph and Cait Sith players who don't seem too thrilled about outsiders showing up in the middle of their turf war. Kirito tries to explain that they're there to catch a notorious murderer, but they're not exactly receptive to his plea for help.

As Sinon scouts the area, she spots a cloaked figure who immediately gives off serious Death Gun vibes. She radios the rest of the team, but before they can regroup, Kirito and Leafa get ambushed by a group of enemy players. It's a tough fight, but our heroes come out on top (as you would expect), managing to avoid serious injuries while taking out a number of opponents.

Meanwhile, Sinon sets up a trap for Death Gun, using herself as bait. She knows it's risky, but it's the only way to lure him out. And it works – Death Gun shows up, revealing himself to be a player named Sterben. Sinon takes the shot, but he manages to dodge and escape into the caves.

Kirito and Leafa arrive just in time to help Sinon, and the trio heads into the cave system after Sterben. The caves are dark, eerie, and filled with danger. As they navigate the twists and turns, they hear strange sounds echoing in the depths, and Sinon starts to feel increasingly uneasy.

Finally, they come to a narrow passageway guarded by a powerful monster. Kirito uses his sword skills to distract the creature while Sinon and Leafa slip past it. But the monster proves to be tougher than expected, and it corners Kirito, forcing him to fight it head-on. The battle is intense, with Kirito pulling out all the stops to finish off the beast.

Despite the danger, our heroes press on deeper into the caves, finally coming face to face with Sterben. But it's not what they expect – this isn't Death Gun after all, it's just a normal player. Sinon is confused – she saw Death Gun shoot that guy in the previous episode, so how could he not be dead?

As they try to make sense of the situation, they hear a strange noise, and suddenly they're surrounded by enemies. The cave walls shake and the ground rumbles as countless monsters pour out of every crevice in the wall. The team fights valiantly, but they're outnumbered and overpowered.

Just when all hope seems lost, help arrives in the form of our old friend Asuna, flanked by a platoon of ALO (Alfheim Online) players. Together, they fight back the horde of monsters and push their way back to the surface.

The team regroups and tries to figure out what just happened. They realize that they've fallen into a trap – Death Gun must have set it up to take out anyone who got too close. How many other players have fallen victim to this nefarious scheme?

Determined to get to the bottom of this, Kirito and his friends vow to keep hunting Death Gun until they finally take him down. But as they gear up for their next confrontation, they can't shake the feeling that they're being watched… that Death Gun is always one step ahead of them. Will they finally catch him? Or will they become his next victims? Only time will tell.
