No matter how good a person's stamina was, they would stop sooner or later if they kept attacking fiercely.
Generally speaking, as long as the attack continued and the enemy fell into a defensive position, then in the end, it was usually the enemy who could not defend and was taken down by the fierce attack.
It was common sense that defense was often more difficult than offense.
As long as the attack continued, then in the end, the defensive side would most likely be defeated first.
Of course, this was only in general.
Although it was not that this principle could not be used against powerful Blade Hunters, there were still situations where their defense was watertight until the very end.
Defense was more difficult than offense, but some people were good at defense.
Rozen was not proficient in swordsmanship, but because of Eye of the Mind, his expertise in defense was far stronger than others.
Therefore, as Rozen continued to defend, Yi Hui's attack finally began to slow down.
"Whoosh!"
With a sharp sound of wind, Yi Hui's wooden sword slashed down from above and fell on Rozen's forehead.
Seeing this blow …
"Now!"
Rozen suddenly stopped retreating, raised his head, and his eyes bloomed with a terrifying look.
Immediately, Rozen's defensive movements finally changed.
At this moment, Rozen's movements were no longer as random and disorderly as before, but as if he had practiced it thousands of times, it became smooth.
"This is …!?"
Yi Hui became aware of this and was startled.
And at this time, Rozen had already begun to counterattack.
"Smack!"
In the loudest collision sound, Rozen suddenly swung his fastest sword so far, knocking away Yi Hui's wooden sword, causing Yi Hui's wooden sword to be lifted high, and his posture was also disrupted, leaving his chest wide open.
In such a situation, Rozen maintained the posture of swinging his sword, and his body spun quickly like a top. The wooden sword in his hand had already changed from a pick to a cut, slashing fiercely in Yi Hui's direction like a windmill.
And Yi Hui's chest was already exposed, and there was no time to withdraw his sword to defend.
Therefore, Rozen was certain of his victory.
Unfortunately, Rozen's confirmation failed.
“.....！”
In the nick of time, Yi Hui suddenly reacted. He released the wooden blade that had been lifted up, allowing the wooden blade to fall with the force of gravity and land in his other hand.
"Pa!"
Rozen's ferocious strike fell on the hastily put up wooden sword, and it still fell on the hilt, causing a crisp sound.
Yi Hui used the hilt of the wooden blade to defend against Rozen's determined strike.
Only then did the two of them pull away from each other, resuming the situation when they were facing each other from a distance.
Their expressions were filled with helplessness.
"What kind of unexpected defense is that?"
Rozen's voice was filled with irritation.
"You're the one. You clearly said that you don't understand the sword, but that move just now was unexpectedly exquisite and brilliant. It doesn't seem like a move that someone who doesn't understand the sword would use at all."
Yi Hui smiled bitterly.
But immediately after, the two of them laughed at the same time.
"What's the name of that move just now?"
Rozen asked Yi Hui.
"That's a little unorthodox move. It calculates the distance and length between the opponent and the weapon, and uses the part other than the sword and the blade to defend."
Yi Hui answered truthfully and asked the same question.
"What's the name of the move you just used?"
Yi Hui's eyes were shining as if he had encountered a treasure.
Obviously, this young man was obsessed with the sword, and he became curious about the move Rozen just used.
So, Rozen also answered truthfully.
"It's a sword skill for counterattack, called Reverse Wheel."
Reverse Wheel.
It was a One-Handed Sword Technique in SAO. First, the user would use the first strike to deflect the enemy's weapon, then rotate the user's body according to the force of the enemy's attack, accelerate the second time, and use the second strike to attack the enemy whose weapon was deflected.
Against monsters who had no special attacks and skills, and liked to attack fiercely, this Sword Skill had a lot of uses. Rozen and Kirito liked to use this move when their level was low.
Originally, without the system's assistance, Rozen couldn't move his body as smoothly as in the game. He had to use Telekinesis to control his body to use SAO's Sword Skills. But after Nakamura's training in various aspects, and after ten years of wandering and traveling, Rozen unexpectedly had more opportunities to use his body. With the help of Eye of the Mind, he could finally move his body and use SAO's Sword Skills.
It was also because of this that Rozen's Physical Fitness Test was able to reach D-Level. Otherwise, with his previous Physical Fitness that was only the same as ordinary people, it was likely that he would become E-Level.
Even so, compared to Yi Hui whose physical strength had reached A-rank, Rozen was still far behind. If it weren't for Eye of the Mind, he would've been defeated a long time ago in such a close combat.
"Reverse Wheel …"
Yi Hui seemed to have remembered something. While muttering something, he suddenly smiled.
"I see, I'll remember it."
With that said, Yi Hui attacked again.
Seeing this, Rozen was slightly startled.
Because this time, Yi Hui's movements became the same as his own, full of flaws, which was not a situation that a master swordsman like him should have.
(What does he want to do?)
Such a thought flashed in Rozen's mind, but his body was already one step ahead of Yi Hui.
With Eye of the Mind, Rozen saw through Kazuko's movements, and he almost gave up his defense reflexively, and slashed his sword at Kazuko's head.
This slash …
"What …!?"
Rozen was surprised.
"Smack!"
Amidst the loud sound of collision, Rozen's sword was actually bounced off by Kazufuru's wooden sword in the blink of an eye.
A huge force acted on Rozen's wooden sword. While it was bounced off, Rozen's posture also collapsed. His hand was also lifted up, and his front was exposed.
Yes.
This situation was exactly the same as what Rozen just did to Yi Hui.
Then …
"Reverse Wheel!"
Yi Hui's body turned at an extremely fast speed along with the force of Rozen's slash, and the wooden sword in his hand turned into an extremely fast slash, like a windmill, slashing at Rozen's body.
Rozen had no time to defend at all.
This blow, Rozen could only take it head-on.
"Bam!"
There was a muffled sound.
Kazuko's wooden sword fell solidly on Rozen's abdomen, it really hit him.
However …
"Woo …"
It was Yi Hui who let out a painful cry.
It was as if Yi Hui was using a wooden knife to strike a hard steel plate with all his might. On one hand, his arm was numb from the impact, and on the other hand, his face was bitter, as if he was in great pain.
Just because …
"I was forced to use magical power."
Rozen stood in place, his face full of confusion.
Taking a closer look, Rozen's body began to fluctuate with magical flames.
