The surroundings instantly became incomparably quiet.
Seeing that Yuki was staring at Rozen, everyone held their breath and became speechless.
Kirito, Lifa, Liz, and Celica also looked at Rozen, waiting for Rozen's reaction.
"Rozen …"
Yasna subconsciously held Rozen's hand.
Although they haven't even spoken yet, Yasna already felt it.
"She's quite strong."
Yasna whispered in Rozen's ear.
She wanted Rozen to be careful.
Rozen didn't respond, but patted the back of Yasna's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Immediately, Rozen left the crowd and headed toward Uji's direction.
The surrounding people consciously retreated, leaving a large empty space in the field.
So Rozen approached Yuki and smiled at the girl who was staring at him.
"I'm Rozen."
Rozen made a simple introduction.
"Yuki."
Yuki immediately responded concisely, or rather, quickly, as if she wanted to introduce herself to Rozen for a long time. The smile on her face never disappeared.
The reason was simple.
"I know you." Yuki said with a smile: "You're the strongest Player in this world, and I heard that you've created seven original Sword Skills, right?"
Obviously, even though Yuki just came to this game, she had already heard of Rozen's name.
That wasn't surprising. Rozen's fame had long spread on the Internet, and there were many people who followed him. Even if Yuki wasn't a player of this game before, she must have heard of Rozen's deeds.
For example …
"I also know that you're SAO's hero who saved thousands of Players. You're amazing."
At this point, Yuji's expression became serious, and there was a complicated emotion in her eyes as she stared at Rozen.
That kind of emotion only flashed past for a moment.
However, Rozen, who had been observing Yuji all this while, still noticed it.
"What?" So Rozen said directly, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Hearing this, Yuji was slightly startled.
Then, Yuji smiled.
"No, it's nothing." Yuji said cheerfully, "I just think that you're really amazing, to be able to save so many people. If I could be like you, bringing hope to so many people and being able to save the people around me, that would be great."
These words caused Rozen to raise his brows.
However, before Rozen could continue asking, Yuji changed the topic.
"Well, Rozen -san, since you're here, let's fight." Yuji raised the sword in his hand, pointed it at Rozen, and said with a smile: "Although as far as I know, you shouldn't be interested in my boss. After all, you should have a stronger original Sword Skill than me, so you wouldn't want to challenge me just for my boss. But since we finally meet here, don't you think it's a pity if we don't fight?"
"… You're right." Rozen was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Of course, it's not that I'm not interested in your boss. After all, it's a One-Handed Sword Skill with 11 Combo Strikes, and I'm also a One-Handed Sword Skill. I won't refuse an original Sword Skill with 11 Combo Strikes."
"Is that so?" Yuji suddenly showed a mischievous expression and said: "Then, can I see the last two Sword Skills of Big Dipper that no one has ever seen before?"
"I should be the one saying that." Rozen smiled and said: "I wonder if I can see the rumored boss that has never been used in a duel today?"
With that said, the two of them looked at each other again.
Then, their battle intent burst out.
Yuji immediately took the initiative to control the window that appeared with extremely skilled gestures and sent a duel request to Rozen.
A duel request window immediately appeared in Rozen's field of vision with a majestic sound effect. Below the window were the same three duel modes as in SAO. From top to bottom, they were First Strike Mode, Half Damage Mode, and Full Damage Mode.
In the past, in SAO's Aincrad, duels were all carried out in First Strike Mode. The Player who hit the opponent with the most powerful attack first won, and losing half of his HP and all of his HP was considered to have lost. Half Damage Mode and Full Damage Mode were strictly prohibited. Otherwise, it was likely to be life-threatening.
But now, in ALO, Players almost always chose Full Damage Mode when they duel. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the duel.
Of course, as mentioned before, dying in a duel would also cost a lot of Exp.
However, that was the only way to feel the tension.
Rozen naturally wouldn't choose First Strike Mode and Half Damage Mode, and directly chose Full Damage Mode. The duel window automatically disappeared, and a ten-second countdown appeared on the battlefield.
"Hey!"
Almost at the same time, Yuji jumped away and put on an offensive stance, and the look in her eyes also changed.
"Oh?"
Kirito was the first to notice Yuji's change and looked up.
"Is that Absolute Sword getting serious?"
Lifa also noticed it and was surprised.
"It seems that even Absolute Sword can't not get serious."
Liz giggled.
"After all, the opponent is Rozen -bro."
Celica was a little proud.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou wanted to fight alongside Rozen as Tamed Monsters, but unfortunately, Rozen stopped them.
"Just stay over there, no need to get involved."
Rozen instructed, leaving Saichou and Hanachou to stay beside Yasna, who was holding Kurumi with a serious face.
Noticing this scene, Yuji seemed to remember something.
"Oh yeah, you have two very powerful Tamed Monsters, even the Floor Boss can't do anything to them." Yuji said curiously and provocatively, "Are you not going to let them fight? I'm actually quite curious about their strength. "
"No need." Rozen shook his head and said, "If I let them fight, there's no comparison."
The implication was that if Saichou and Hanachou fought, Yuji wouldn't be able to win.
"You're that confident?"
Yuji's face showed an expression of confidence.
In response, Rozen smiled again.
"Look at this, and you'll know whether I'm confident or not."
After saying that, Rozen stretched out his hand and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
The next moment …
"Wow!"
There was a huge uproar in the crowd.
That was because of the sword Rozen pulled out.
It was a golden transparent sword, and the overall atmosphere was unusually solemn. The blade was surrounded by phosphorescence, and there were very gorgeous and subtle decorations on the sword.
There was no one who wouldn't recognize that sword.
"Holy Sword of Broken Steel …!"
"That's Holy Sword of Broken Steel …!"
The surrounding Players were excited.
