Cave Diving Summary

Summary

After finishing the medicine quest, you get the Annealed Sword. A blue-haired man is impressed by your progress and tells you his name is Diavel and he wants to make a team to go against the bosses of SAO so that everyone can get out. You exchange contacts with him.

Wyzeman figures you can prepare for worse things to come if you try and explore the Teardrop Cave you discovered before.

He asks for your party's contacts and hopes you can meet again once you reach Tolbana.

Tolbana seems like a very far-off thought for now. Wyzeman thinks it'll be good to explore the cave you went to before, as it might provide good materials or weapons to arm yourself with.
