Duel~

"Reason."

After a moment of silence, Heathcliff spat out two words.

"It's very simple, I just feel that Asuna is not happy here, so..." Ling Xue shrugged.

Between the two, to be precise, under Asuna's expectant gaze, Heathcliff slowly shook his head and said, "This one won't work, you can change it."

Under Asuna's disappointed gaze, Ling The corners of Xue's mouth curled up, she looked at Heathcliff with a half-smile, and said affirmatively: "No, you will agree."

On the premise that the person in front of her was Akihiko Kayaba, after combining Before going up, he saw Yui's calm expression on the surface, coupled with the analysis of the original work, Ling Xue knew his purpose very well.

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing Ling Xue looking at him with a half-smile, Heathcliff felt something was wrong for some reason, as if he had already been seen clearly, what did he think? All are invisible.

"Because I haven't finished what I just said, let Asuna leave the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and in exchange, when you encounter a difficult boss, I can temporarily become a member of the clearing team and attack the boss with you. Of course, The loot can also be divided equally according to your rules. For example... the next 75th floor." Ling Xue said lightly.

"Ling Xue, you..." Asuna looked at Ling Xue, her eyes were full of disbelief and moved.

"Alright, I agree to this condition." After a little thought, Heathcliff nodded and said.

After listening. An excited smile appeared on Asuna's face. Because for her. Winning or losing is no longer important. It would be great if Ling Xue won, and she would truly be free. If she loses, even though she is still in the Knights of the Blood Alliance, Ling Xue will also join this guild, and she will also become her own knight (hey, hey, it's a guard, dear), and form a team with her justifiably. So to a certain extent, Asuna rather hoped that Ling Xue would lose.

Make a complaint. This teammate sold it. . . . . .

On the other hand, Ling Xue had an unexpected look on her face. Heathcliff usually put Asuna by his side and didn't recall her. The purpose was nothing more than to use Asuna to achieve similar monitoring and observation purposes, but now If there is a better opportunity for him to observe in person, how could he give up this opportunity.

Heathcliff never thought that he would lose, no matter how strong the player in front of him was, so what, after all, his other identity was the developer of the game. Akihiko Kayaba. For the understanding of the game, he admitted that he would not lose to a player.

"Then, let's set the time in three days. You can make preparations during this time." Heathcliff said lightly.

"Then. Farewell." Ling Xue gestured, then turned and walked outside.

"Hey, Lingxue."

On the way back to Xue's seclusion, Asuna suddenly stopped Lingxue and said, "Why are you..."

"Why did you help me?" Lingxue turned her head, with a face full of knowing The look you would ask.

"Yes." Asuna nodded.

"Would you believe me if I said that I was disgusted by Heathcliff simply because I was unhappy with seeing the Knights of the Blood Alliance?" Ling Xue scratched her head and said.

And Asuna didn't speak, just looked at Ling Xue quietly.

"Well, this is one aspect. More importantly, I teamed up with you. When I met the boss room, you didn't allow me to solo, so I think you should have nothing to say in this way. "Ling Xue said with a hey smile.

"Just because of this?" Asuna felt that this was far from the reason she imagined. Isn't it because of something like "I see that you are not happy in the Knights of the Blood League, so I want to save you from the sea of ​​suffering, even if I give up huge benefits because of it" or something like that.

"En, why not?" Ling Xue nodded quickly, with a pure expression on her face.

"Nothing, hum."

Hearing Ling Xue's rhetorical question, Asuna, who was still fine just now, suddenly snorted softly, then quickly turned around, ignoring Ling Xue who was standing there, and stepped into the teleportation array on her own, and disappeared On the 55th floor.

Of course, Ling Xue knew why Asuna was acting like this all of a sudden. In her eyes, she was probably blaming me, the "wood", for being incomprehensible. It was obviously a great opportunity to increase her favorability.

[Compulsory task 1: Help Asuna break away from the Blood Knights. Successful mission: three lucky draw chances, electronic value: 10000. Mission failed: forced to kick out of the game. ]

Alas. . . Ling Xue glanced at the upper left corner, it was a system task that appeared just before, she shrugged her shoulders, and let out a long sigh, if this goes on, can the old man hold on. . .

In fact, it's no wonder that Ling Xue said that, after all, Asuna's appearance is nothing to say, although it is not as thrilling as the beauty, nor is it as "good" as the figure of Zi and others. But Xiaojiabiyu has full marks for temperament and popularity attributes. This kind of attributes and temperament are "fatal" to boys. After all, who doesn't want their significant other to be able to go to the hall and the kitchen, and not to mention other aspects. . .

Three days passed in a flash, and soon came the day of the competition.

The 75th floor, Colinia Arena.

"Don't let me know who is promoting it, or I will definitely beat him up."

Looking around, looking at the usually deserted, but today's bustling arena, which is almost full of seats, he looked up again. On the betting interface, Ling Xue cursed angrily.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect my guild members to do that."

Heathcliff, who was already standing still and looking around, apologized in bright red armor. But Ling Xue said that he didn't see any apology on Heathcliff's face, on the contrary, there was a taste of gloating in it.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me... But, I have to charge performance fees." Ling Xue shrugged her shoulders. At the same time, the interface is opened. Adjusted to the state of the two swords flow. With a tendency of "swf~". Behind Ling Xue appeared a black one-handed sword with a silver border, spanning diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist.

"This is your two-handed sword state. It's really rare, a combination of a sword and a one-handed sword." Heathcliff said "with great interest".

"Well, after all, my Taidao has already taken shape. Naturally, it is impossible to give up for a mere second sword style, so it should be weird, as long as it can be used." Ling Xue explained. Then he opened the duel interface and submitted a duel application to Heathcliff, and in exchange, the other party could choose the duel method.

Drop - normal mode, set the blood volume to half.

normal mode. . Well. .

Really confident, seeing Heathcliff's choice, Ling Xue's mouth curled up into a smile, this is the rhythm of wanting to convince my bloody heart.

However, it is true.

As Ling Xue pressed the yes button, two huge boxes rose from both sides. And in the middle of the two big boxes, a huge VS cast a white light. A transparent film is formed, which is set up to prevent pk people from making the first move.

3...

2...

1...

Accompanied by the words "start (start)", both sides who had already drawn their weapons disappeared in place.

when!

The next moment, the sound of fierce golden-armed fighting came from the center of the arena, and two figures, one white and one red, also appeared.

"The power is good." Looking at the sparks flying in front of his eyes, Heathcliff was slightly surprised: "The speed flow still has such a powerful power."

"Thank you so much, praise!! Award!" Ling Xue smiled slightly, first bent her hands slightly, then straightened them suddenly, and pushed hard with her feet, staggering Heathcliff with the blade. Holding the black sword, the interpreter's left hand quickly retracted to the left, and then swung forward forcefully from bottom to top.

Ding!

At this moment, Heathcliff also turned around in a staggering manner, and then blocked the slender knight sword in front of him, barely blocking Ling Xue's upward blow.

call! !

Heathcliff, who was slightly relieved because the interpreter was blocked, suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from his ear, and when he looked closely, the silver-white long sword was already close in front of him.

"What..."

Surprised, Heathcliff's reaction was not slow, he turned backwards and turned into the air, narrowly dodging the gleaming silver sword. But there were a few short strands floating in the air, like silver threads.

Originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but seeing the stinky foot kicked up by the backflip, Ling Xue had no choice but to jump backwards, dodging a foot attack.

"It's really dangerous, your speed is really fast enough, Lingxue." Heathcliff glanced up, and saw that a trace of silver hair had been shaved off on top of his head, Heathcliff said lightly. Although she looked extremely calm on the surface, Ling Xue had already keenly caught the surprise in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Are you wondering why I have such a terrifying combat experience? There was still a smile on the corner of Ling Xue's mouth.

Just as Ling Xue guessed, Heathcliff's heart was indeed filled with waves. Although he knows that the person in front of him is very good at single-handedly killing monsters, and after checking his own authority, he also knows that the passive skill "Xunmin" has also fallen into his hands. However, there are two concepts of single-playing monsters and pk. No matter how high the AI ​​is, the monsters still act according to the program. No matter how difficult it is to fight, there is always a fixed method. Every move is full of uncertainty, so quick response and rich pk experience are essential. Only because of this, can we take the lead in the fast-paced pk, and then win.

Why? !

Heathcliff stared at Ling Xue closely. Why can't I see his movements clearly? !
