It had to be said that the battle between Yasna and Yuki was indeed quite fierce and exciting.
That level of intensity and excitement was even comparable to the battle between Rozen and Yuki.
Although in this battle, there were neither phantoms caused by Fantasy Acceleration, nor the extreme collision between Mizar and Virgin Mary, in the previous battle, Rozen still managed to one-sidedly suppress Yuki, leaving Yuki almost unable to fight back. It was not so much a fierce battle between the two, but a wonderful performance from Rozen.
This time, the duel between Asuna and Yuji was truly a fierce battle between two evenly matched opponents.
In terms of strength, Yuki's strength should be at the same level as Kirito, and her reflexes were superior to Kirito's. Coupled with Virgin Mary's powerful Ultimate Skill, Kirito might be defeated by Yuki.
Although Kirito challenged Yuki before, that duel didn't mean anything. Both sides still had trump cards. Kirito was defeated by Yuki because he discovered some of Yuki's secrets. Therefore, that didn't mean that Kirito was weaker than Yuki, let alone that Yuki was stronger than Kirito.
But now, the fierce battle between Yasna and Yuki proved that even if Yuki was not as strong as Kirito, the difference was not that big.
After receiving guidance from Rozen many times, Yasna's strength had improved a lot compared to the past. Even though she was a water spirit, which was inclined to support, Yasna's strength allowed her to win three out of ten times against Kirito. As a result, Yasna was naturally not inferior to Yuki, which made Yuki's face more and more solemn. In the end, Yasna performed even better than when she fought Rozen.
Yuji's current state was undoubtedly quite terrifying. His reflexes were affected by his extreme concentration, causing Asuna to almost lose track of Yuji's sword several times. She almost tripped and lost on the spot.
Fortunately, Yasna was also a genius. When she realized how terrifying Yuki's reflexes were, she immediately gave up trying to catch Yuki's sword with her naked eyes. Instead, she focused on observing Yuki's entire body, judging the trajectory and speed of Yuki's sword. In addition, she used her slender sword techniques several times, forcing Yuki to the brink of death.
The two of them were like this. At the start, one of them was only reluctantly pushed onto the stage by Rozen, while the other was only curious about her opponent and did not take her opponent seriously. In the end, however, the more they fought, the more engrossed they became. It was as if their opponent was the only thing in their eyes. The shockwaves and sounds of collisions echoed across the hill, causing the surrounding players to gasp in shock.
At this point, both sides had surpassed their limits and reached heights that they had never reached before.
In Kirito's words, they were …
If it were the current them, even if I used my full strength, I wouldn't be able to defeat a single one of them.
Kirito was thoroughly convinced.
This proved just how intense the battle between Asuna and Yuji was, and how much they were fighting with their lives on the line. It was unbelievable.
Especially Yasna, she managed to see through Yuki's Sword Skill once. She used Stardust Splatter, an eight-hit combo Sword Skill that XaSa once used, to offset the first eight strikes of Yuki's Hymn. Using her body's inertia, she managed to dodge the last two strikes and was only hit by the last strike, losing 30% of her hp. After that, she used her original five-hit combo Sword Skill, Stardust Tears, to directly reduce Yuki's hp to the red zone. When Yuki was about to reach the red zone, the audience gasped in shock.
Obviously, after witnessing Hymn, Yasna had already formulated a strategy to deal with it. Coupled with Rozen's guidance, her strength improved by leaps and bounds. Even though Yuki had defeated Kirito before, in the end, he still lost to Yasna.
Thus, in this duel, Yasna obtained the final victory.
When Yasna's rapier pierced through Yuki's body with Flash Pierce, Yuki's hp was completely depleted, and the audience cheered for her victory.
"Ha … ha … ha …"
Yasna's hp bar entered the red zone. She held a rapier in her hand, panting heavily as she bathed in the cheers. Her eyes revealed a relaxed expression.
"We won!"
Lifa, Liz, and Xili high-fived each other and were overjoyed.
"We won."
Kirito suddenly smiled, not showing any surprise at this result.
"Not bad."
Rozen also smiled, satisfied with Yasna's performance.
If Yasna was still in SAO, she would most likely lose to Yuki, but after nearly a year in ALO, Yasna's strength improved a lot. Even if Yuki broke through his limit, he still couldn't defeat Yasna, and Yasna won the second time against Sword of Extinction.
"Mommy is awesome!"
Kurumi was overjoyed.
Facing a master that everyone was amazed by, Rozen and Yasna, the fiancée, won one after another. It was only natural for Kurumi to be proud and happy.
After the battle ended, Rozen first used Recovery Magic on Yasna to restore Yasna's hp, and then used Resurrection Magic on Yuki to resurrect Yuki.
As soon as Yuki was resurrected, she jumped in front of Yasna without saying a word.
"You're the one!"
Yuji grabbed Asuna's shoulder as if he was staring at his prey. He smiled happily.
"Huh …?"
Yasna just remembered that if she defeated Yuki, she would most likely be invited to her guild.
Yuji's attitude told everyone that she had indeed taken a liking to Asuna.
"The duel just now was the most enjoyable and satisfying duel I've ever had in my life. In the end, I actually completely forgot about everything else and performed exceptionally well. Big sister, you're really amazing!"
Yuki happily patted Yasna's shoulder and turned to Rozen.
"Hey, little brother, can you lend me this big sister?"
Yuki was looking forward to it.
Rozen's answer was without hesitation.
"No problem!"
Rozen didn't mind at all.
"Huh? Huh? "
Yasna couldn't react at all.
"Then let's go!"
Yuki dragged Yasna and flew up.
"Wait … Wait!"
Yasna exclaimed, but it was useless.
After a while, Yasna was dragged away by Yuki, and not a single trace of her could be seen.
Everyone watched as Yasna disappeared into the distance.
"Will it really be okay? Big brother. "
Lifa looked a little uneasy.
"She's really gone."
Liz was dumbfounded.
"Miss Yasna will come back, right?"
Even Celica was worried.
Rozen didn't respond to everyone's reaction. He only tapped Kurumi's little head and said.
"Don't worry, she will come back."
That was what Rozen believed.
