Nowadays, the existence of special skills was no longer a secret.
Although it couldn't be said that all the special skills with hidden learning conditions had been discovered, once someone learned it, the information would immediately be made public.
For example, Rozen's Body Technique Skill and Klein's Tachi Skill were either disclosed by the person who learned them to improve the collective strength of the Players, or it was dug out by intelligence dealers such as Argo. Even if the person who learned it wanted to hide it, after a period of time, as long as there was a second person who learned it, the information would inevitably be made public.
In addition, various NPCs would also hint about the existence of some hidden skills and the learning conditions, so that the Players could finally find these special skills and learn them.
In the beginning, Rozen also learned about the setting of Rainbow Butterfly from an NPC gardener, and he also learned some information about cultivating butterfly tamed monsters from many similar NPCs. Combined with his own considerations and plans, he was able to cultivate Rainbow Butterfly to this level.
There were many similar things. These NPCs wouldn't help the Players hide the information, which led to more and more people learning special skills. Naturally, it was inevitable that the information would be made public.
However, the Sword Skill Heathcliff used was obviously a Sword Skill that had not been made public yet. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Rozen to not know about it.
This meant two things.
Either the skill Heathcliff learned was so rare that only a few people could learn it, or he just learned it not long ago. In that case, the information wouldn't be spread.
Or …
"Yes, I don't even know the conditions to learn this special skill."
Heathcliff said calmly as if he knew what Rozen was thinking.
"This skill suddenly appeared in my skill column one day, and I learned it. As far as I know, no other player has it, and no NPC has mentioned the conditions to learn it. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a unique skill that only one person can learn. Rather than calling it a 'Special Skill', it's more appropriate to call it a 'Unique Skill'."
"Unique skill."
In other words, only one person could learn a special skill.
"The name of the skill is Holy Sword."
Heathcliff raised the cross sword and cross shield in his hands, as if demonstrating the truth of this world with a faint smile on his face.
"How are you going to deal with this unique skill?"
As soon as he said that, Heathcliff immediately stomped on the ground and charged at Rozen again.
"…!?"
Rozen quickly raised his Nation Protecting Sword without hesitation.
The two met again and began a fierce battle.
The crossguard sword in Heathcliff's hand slashed through the air in an unknown trajectory, and the weapon glowed like a storm as it fiercely attacked Rozen.
In the face of this overwhelming attack, Rozen, who couldn't judge the enemy's attack trajectory based on his own experience and memory, could only stare at Heathcliff's sword and barely block Heathcliff's attack.
However, Heathcliff's shield also had Attack Priority. When Rozen blocked Heathcliff's sword with his sword, he suddenly launched a surprise attack at Rozen.
So, for a while, in order to deal with the double attack of the sword and shield, Rozen was forced to retreat.
"So strong …!"
Rozen tried his best to hold on, but his heart was tight.
In this world, it wasn't like Rozen had never seen a particularly strong player.
For example, Kirito, his sworn brother's gaming skills were top-notch. With just a one-handed sword, he was ranked at the top of the Clearers. Other than Rozen, the strongest player in the Clearers was probably Kirito. Even the other Clearers couldn't last more than a few moves against Kirito. Only players like Klein and Aikir could contend with Kirito, but they still couldn't defeat Kirito.
But Heathcliff was a strong player in another dimension.
Rozen thought that Argo's evaluation of this party leader was enough to rank in the top three of the Clearers, so he should be on par with Kirito, or even stronger than Kirito.
However, Rozen found that he had underestimated Heathcliff.
This party leader was indeed stronger than Kirito.
But it wasn't just a little bit stronger.
(Against him, can Kirito survive for a minute?)
Rozen was thinking about this problem.
Therefore, there was no doubt that Heathcliff was the strongest Player Rozen had ever seen so far, no one else could compare to him.
Against such an opponent, it was impossible for Rozen to not be at a disadvantage.
If he fought against Kirito, Rozen could only win four out of ten times, while Kirito could definitely win six times, and sometimes even seven times.
After all, in terms of game skills, Kirito was almost right behind Rozen. However, Rozen was good at controlling Mage characters, while Kirito was good at controlling Warrior characters. In terms of body control, Kirito was better than Rozen.
Rozen's physique wasn't that good in the real world.
If it weren't for the fact that Rozen's awareness and reaction speed were much higher than Kirito's, and he could even keep up with the battle between Servants, Rozen would definitely be suppressed by Kirito in this SAO, which emphasized on body control instead of magic.
In such a case, Rozen was slightly inferior to Kirito in terms of single-handed swordsmanship, not to mention the game's skills.
As a result, even Kirito couldn't withstand Heathcliff's attacks, Rozen would naturally suffer the same fate.
However, there were two reasons why Rozen was slightly inferior to Kirito.
One was not using Tamed Monsters.
The other was not using Eye of the Mind.
As for now …
"I can't hold back anymore!"
Rozen raised his head and waved his Country Protector Sword to deflect Heathcliff's Cross Blade.
"Saichou! Hanachou! "
Along with Rozen's shout, the two Tamed Monsters that had been on standby finally moved.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou flew over from both sides at the same time, leaving long trails of light behind them, and arrived above Heathcliff.
"Rustle …"
Amidst the sound of friction, countless phosphorescent powder sprinkled under the wings of Saichou and Hanachou.
"— — — —!"
Heathcliff's expression froze, and he abruptly stopped what he was doing, then almost bounced away and dodged to the back.
"Goo!"
"Goo!"
The two Rainbow Butterflies immediately chased after Heathcliff as if they had gained the upper hand.
At this time, Rozen closed his eyes.
His consciousness was constantly immersed in the depths of his heart.
