"Even … even Kirito -san and Lifa-chan lost?"
Yasna couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Her surprise was completely understandable.
Who were Kirito and Lifa?
That was a bona fide top-tier player.
Needless to say, Kirito had already defeated Eugene, who was known as ALO's strongest Player. In Red Wings, he was second only to Rozen. Even Yasna didn't dare to claim that she could defeat Kirito. Even after receiving Rozen's guidance in the past year, Yasna's skills improved a lot, but Kirito had the same conditions. He often learned new skills from Rozen, and his strength was constantly improving.
If Kirito and Yasna were to duel now, Kirito could probably win seven out of ten duels, and Yasna could only win three.
And that was under the condition that she was lucky. If she was unlucky, Yasna might not even win a single duel.
On the other hand, Asuna was a rapier prodigy that even Rozen was impressed with, yet she was defeated by Kirito. It was not hard to imagine how strong Kirito was now.
As for Lifa, as Rozen's sister, she certainly received a lot of guidance from Rozen, and her strength was much stronger than when she was in the old ALO. Excluding Rozen, Lifa was currently the strongest Wind Elf Player. Last month, during the All-Race Tournament held by Red Wings, she even tied with Eugene. After fighting for nearly half an hour, she finally lost to Eugene. One could only imagine how strong she was.
Now, in ALO, the Players recognized that the siblings, Kirito and Lifa, could be ranked among the top five in the entire server.
After the SAO Players joined, the entire ALO had been reborn and became more prosperous than the old ALO era. Being able to rank among the top five in the entire server meant that they could all be the trump cards of their respective races, and they were highly respected by the Players.
Of course, Yasna was also at this level, and she was considered to be among the top five Players.
In Red Wings, there were four players who were strong enough to rank among the top five in the entire server, which was a major reason why the nine races were afraid of this guild.
Of course, Rozen was ranked fourth.
However, Rozen wasn't ranked among the top five in the entire server, but first in ALO.
Because Rozen once easily defeated Kirito, and he even single-handedly fought a Floor Boss and won. Even Eugene was toyed with by him. Yasna and Lifa also admitted that they were no match for Rozen. The title of the strongest Player in ALO was already a fact.
But even if they were not as good as Rozen, Kirito and Lifa were still the top of the top Players, and they actually lost to a Player who just transferred from another game not long ago. Yasna couldn't help but be surprised.
"No … I can't help it. That person's movements are too fast. Even his normal attacks are almost as fast as Sword Skill. I can barely keep up with his speed. It took me a lot of effort to reduce his hp by 40%. This is already very good."
Lifa puffed up her cheeks as if she didn't want to admit defeat, but she had to admit defeat.
"… That person is indeed strong."
Kirito said that very seriously.
"That's amazing."
Yasna finally believed it and sighed.
"Since he's so strong, there shouldn't be anyone who wants to challenge him now, right?"
Rozen said thoughtfully.
Unlike the general event, dying in a duel, even if there was no item drop, a lot of Exp would still be deducted.
In that case, no one should be willing to challenge that Player.
However …
"In fact, it's the opposite. Even now, there are still many challengers, and there are many masters from various races."
Liz denied Rozen's guess.
"Why?"
Yasna was stunned.
In fact, the answer was very simple.
"That person said that as long as you can beat him, you can get the bet."
Xili seemed to remember that bet and had a look of amazement on her face.
Even Kirito couldn't help but admire her.
"Don't be surprised after you hear it."
Kirito said with a smile.
"The bet she proposed is not equipment, item, or money, but an original Sword Skill, OSS.
Hearing that, not to mention Yasna, even Rozen's eyes widened slightly.
"OSS."
The official name was — — — — —
Skill.
It was a system.
A system that was imported by the official, as Kirito said, that could create original Sword Skills.
When the old ALO incident ended, Kayaba Akihiko gave Rozen the SEED.
SEED also appeared on the market, and when the new ALO was reborn, the official imported the files of the original SAO.
Thanks to this, the original SAO players could choose to inherit the SAO period's files in the new ALO, and let the SAO period's characters be reborn. At the same time, the new ALO was also revised, and many elements of SAO appeared.
For example, the appearance of the new Aincrad.
Another example was the emergence of the guild system.
And the most important system was the Sword Skill system.
Today's ALO had SAO's Sword Skill system, which allowed Players to use SAO's Sword Skills, which made ALO's fighting style more varied, and it could even be said to have a revolutionary change.
In the past, in the ALO, players could only use magic to produce powerful damage and gorgeous sound and light effects. In terms of close combat, it all depended on the player's own skills. There were no skills related to swords. In addition, magic had a natural advantage in range and accuracy, so it was very difficult for players to focus on physical attacks when allocating points.
However, after the emergence of Sword Techniques, a balance was established between Skills and Spells. Players no longer focused solely on improving their Skills and Spells in combat. Instead, many melee combat experts began to appear. In addition, melee combat was far more powerful and high-end when used in aerial combat than long-range bombardment of Spells. As a result, many players became addicted to Sword Techniques, and experts who specialized in Sword Techniques continued to emerge.
However, the operators also believe that it wouldn't be a good idea to simply import SAO's Sword Skill System to this world.
There were many original SAO players in the new ALO, and they were very familiar with the Sword Skill system and the use of various Sword Skills. If they left it alone, it was likely to cause unfair problems.
So, after some discussion, the official decided to develop and introduce a new element.
That was the original Sword Skill system.
The emergence of Sword Skill, or OSS for short.
It was not a Sword Skill that all movements were set by the system in advance, but a system that encouraged Players to create their own movements and add them to the system, and then create new Sword Skills.
After the introduction of this system, many players wanted to obtain their own unique cool sword skills. As a result, players could often be seen on the streets or in the wilderness, fighting to be the first to hold their weapons and try to create sword skills.
However, original Sword Skills were not that simple.
