"Goo!"
"Woo!"
At the moment the duel began, Saichou and Hanachou let out an excited cry, and then flew to both sides, leaving a long trail of light behind, and flew to the outside of the battlefield.
Rozen rushed forward under the glittering powder sprinkled by Saichou and Hanachou, and the one-handed sword in his hand was glowing.
That was not the unique light when activating a Sword Skill, but the light that represented the enhancement of the weapon itself.
After four months, when he reached the 26th Floor, Rozen naturally couldn't use the original Anneal Sword + 8, but a higher performance weapon.
As Kirito said, Rozen now had several very high-performance weapons, and each of them was comparable to Kirito's main weapon.
At this time, Rozen was using a weapon that he usually cherished, the King's Sword + 20.
This weapon was obtained by Rozen from the escaped princess after completing a series of quests to obtain the two flags used to subdue Hanachou. Its performance was extremely high, and there was no problem using it until the 30th Floor.
Coupled with Rozen's enhancement to + 20, this sword's performance was so high that it could even deal a lot of damage to the 25th Floor Boss, which almost wiped out the entire Aincrad Liberation Squad. Ordinary weapons simply couldn't compete with it.
That was not the main reason.
Most importantly, this sword had the effect of increasing both STR (Muscle Strength) and AGI (Agility) by 10 points, which was extremely rare.
Therefore, among Rozen's several weapons, the King's Sword + 20's performance could be said to be the highest.
However, this sword also had its drawback, that was, its durability was relatively low, and it couldn't be used all the time.
In view of this, Rozan Can prepared several weapons as a backup, otherwise, he only needed to use this King's Sword.
Now, Rozen used it in this duel.
Facing Heathcliff, Rozen didn't plan to hide his strength at all. Whether it was his tamed monsters or his weapons, he would use them all.
It was unknown if Heathcliff had noticed this, but the leader of the Knights Guild held his Cross Shield in front of him and hid his Cross Sword behind his shield. He was like a general charging into battle with an incomparably calm expression as he dashed towards Rozen.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them met at the spot where the duel window had just flashed.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Rozan Can took a step forward and dodged to the side.
When facing an opponent with a shield, the first thing to do was to avoid a direct confrontation.
This was because attacks launched from the front would basically be blocked by the shield. The best way to deal with it was to bypass the shield and attack the opponent.
Of course, his opponent was no fool.
(It's not difficult to guess my intention to bypass the shield. Heathcliff will definitely attack at the same time, or even use a sword skill, making it impossible for me to dodge.)
At that time, Rozen could also use a sword skill to deflect Heathcliff's attack. Then, when both of them fell into a sword skill, Saichou and Hanachou would use debuff skills on Heathcliff.
Presumably, the skill of Rainbow Butterfly, which even the floor boss couldn't avoid, should be enough to control a player to death, right?
At that time, Rozen's victory would basically be confirmed.
That was Rozen's plan.
Unfortunately, Rozen was wrong.
Heathcliff did launch an attack.
If it was a one-handed sword attack that Rozen was familiar with, then Rozen would definitely be able to accurately block it and even deflect it.
However, at this moment, the attack that Heathcliff used was far beyond Rozen's expectations.
Swoosh!
The sturdy Cross Shield broke through the air and smashed towards Rozen's direction.
Yes.
A shield.
Heathcliff didn't use a weapon. Instead, he used a shield to attack Rozen, which surprised Rozen.
(He actually used a shield to attack …!?)
This was impossible.
This wasn't the real world, and the items that could be used to attack were strictly regulated. In game terms, they had something like "attack judgment". As long as it wasn't something that could be used to attack, then it definitely couldn't be used to attack.
Of course, the use of a shield was for defense. In this world, it was only for defense. It didn't have any attack priority, so it couldn't be used to damage the opponent.
Now, Heathcliff actually used a shield to attack, and it seemed like the system allowed it. How could Rozen not be surprised?
In a hurry, Rozen could only raise the Nation Protecting Sword in his hand to block in front of himself.
Clang!
Accompanied by the sound of a bell, a powerful impact passed through the weapon to Rozen, causing Rozen's body to tremble and he couldn't help but take a step back.
This step was immediately caught by Heathcliff.
Clang!
The light of a sword skill began to shine on the Cross Shield in Heathcliff's hand.
The weapon that Heathcliff hid behind the shield left a beautiful white trail as it was raised high towards Rozen.
Seeing this, Rozen immediately stopped in his tracks.
Although he was caught off guard, Rozen was very familiar with the Sword Skill of the one-handed sword. As long as he saw the preparation, Rozen would be able to know what sword skill his opponent was going to use, and thus determine the opponent's next attack trajectory.
The problem was …
(Is that really the one-handed sword skill I'm familiar with?)
Recalling the shield attack just now, Rozen did not choose to block, nor did he choose to use Sword Skill to deflect Heathcliff's attack. Instead, he stepped on the ground and raised the Nation Protecting Sword in front of him.
The next moment …
Clang!
In the clear sound of the sword, Heathcliff's Cross Shield slashed down like thunder.
That speed and trajectory did not match any of the one-handed sword skills that Rozen knew.
No, it was not only one-handed sword, there was no such Sword Skill among all swords.
Rozen had already memorized all the Sword Skills of known weapons, even Klein's Tachi and his own Body Technique, so it was impossible for him to be wrong.
In other words, what appeared in front of Rozen was a Sword Skill that he had never seen before.
Clang!
The unknown Sword Skill fell on the Nation Protecting Sword in Rozen's hand, creating a lot of sparks on the blade.
If Rozen did not retreat and still stood in the same place, even if he raised the Nation Protecting Sword to block, he would still be hit by the unknown Sword Skill's trajectory, which would cause the weapon's durability to drop significantly. Rozen would also be stuck in the state of power, and he would be hit by Heathcliff's shield again.
But when Rozen retreated, the tip of the Cross Shield rubbed against the body of the Nation Protecting Sword, causing a lot of sparks, but it also burst out a lot of force, which pushed Rozen away.
Rozen took advantage of this and retreated even faster, distancing himself from Heathcliff.
"Huh?" Heathcliff raised his eyebrows as if he was admiring Roland, and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to dodge it. I thought you've never seen my swordsmanship before. Even you would have been defeated in that exchange."
Hearing that, Rozen did not answer, but stared at Heathcliff.
A shield attack that shouldn't exist.
An unknown Sword Skill that shouldn't exist.
All of this told Rozen that Heathcliff used …
"Special Skill …"
