In the huge egg-shaped room, the Skeleton Hunter's howl was like a raging storm, causing the players to roar anxiously as they fought against this terrifying monster.
Heathcliff had completely retreated from the frontline, ignoring the confusion and anxiety of the players at the frontline as he coldly watched this scene.
Rozen stood beside Heathcliff, maintaining his command as he spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Admire me …?"
Rozen said as if he didn't care.
"Why do you say that?"
Even in such an urgent and tight situation, Rozen was still calmly and easily commanding, he even had the spare energy to talk to Heathcliff.
There were clearly more than seven hundred people under his command, and the situation of the battle was changing every minute and second, but Rozen not only maintained a high level of thinking and commanding, but also gave sufficient instructions, he even made some changes so that he had the spare energy to talk. One could imagine how high his ability was.
Heathcliff looked at Rozen, as if he really admired him. It was both admiration and admiration, causing a trace of a smile to appear on Heathcliff's cold face.
Then, Heathcliff said this.
"As you said, the 75th floor's Boss should have been the biggest obstacle before the 100th floor. According to the plan, many players should have died here, leaving only a few elites."
Heathcliff said this in a tone that made people feel uneasy.
"But with your own ability, you changed this outcome. I really have to admire you."
Heathcliff said calmly, indifferently, and aloofly.
"As a 'game developer'."
This sentence was clearly heard by Rozen, and also by Heathcliff's group of players who had been watching anxiously, not knowing why they suddenly retreated from the frontline.
"Wha …!?"
Kirito's expression froze.
"Game … developer …!?"
Klein's expression changed drastically.
"Hey hey hey …!"
Aikir couldn't believe his ears.
"Leader … Leader …?"
Even Yasna widened her eyes in astonishment.
As for the rest of the players, they were all in chaos.
"Game … game developer …?"
"Wh … What …?"
"What is the meaning of this!?"
The players began to shout one after another.
Especially the Knights of the Blood's Players, they were all shaken.
The frontline fell into chaos again and again, causing the Skeleton Hunter, whose HP bar was about to be depleted, to go berserk. It began to charge and slash again.
If it weren't for Rozen's command, many of the players present would have died in the chaos.
Rozen ignored the chaos among the players and continued to issue commands calmly.
Perhaps due to the long-established prestige, the players subconsciously obeyed Rozen's commands even when their minds were in chaos, and the worst-case scenario didn't happen.
Rozen didn't blame Heathcliff for deliberately saying something that could confuse the frontline in this situation. Instead, he only had one thought.
"Is this good?" Rozen said lightly, "You exposed your own identity just like that."
Heathcliff smiled bitterly when he heard that.
"You already found out anyway, didn't you?"
Heathcliff said so.
Yes.
Rozen had already found out.
No, it should be said that he was suspicious.
"The cause is Klatyr's incident, right?"
Heathcliff said the source of Rozen's suspicion.
Yes.
At that time, Rozen had already begun to doubt Heathcliff's identity.
Because before Klatyr turned into polygonal fragments on the square of Camdit's portal, Rozen noticed a phenomenon with Eye of the Mind.
At that moment, the world changed.
What kind of change?
Gravity disappeared.
Time stopped.
The air froze.
The world froze.
It was similar to this kind of change.
Just like the law of the world itself was distorted and changed. Rozen's Eye of the Mind saw that.
It seemed to be an extremely incredible thing.
However, when he thought about it carefully, it was not surprising that such a thing happened in this world.
Because this world was virtual, and everything was composed of data.
It could be changed because of the input of a program.
It could be changed because of the appearance of a setting.
And the person with such authority was called the game manager, the so-called "Game Master."
However, there was no Game Master in this world. There was only one developer who had the authority to manage the game.
That was Kayaba Akihiko.
In other words, on that day, Kayaba Akihiko used his authority as a game developer to execute Klatyr on the spot out of his own will.
That was why Rozen was able to detect the changes in the world with Eye of the Mind's ability. It was caused by Kayaba Akihiko using his authority to control the Players in SAO.
Obviously, on that day, Klatyr's shameless boasting aroused Kayaba Akihiko's disgust, so Kayaba Akihiko did not hesitate to use his authority to break the rules of the game and remove Klatyr from this world.
However, on that day, Rozen also heard a sound.
"Ding …"
It was such a pleasant sound effect.
Presumably, the players should be very familiar with this sound.
That was the sound that opened the main menu.
The sound was very soft, and almost no one heard it under Klatyr's wild laughter.
But Rozen heard it and clearly saw the Player who opened the main menu at that time.
After that, the world began to change, and Klatyr's game character was also erased, and he completely quit the game.
Such a coincidence, such an unusual timing, how could Rozen not be suspicious?
Because of this, Rozan Can stared at the person who opened the main menu at that time with an unprecedentedly sharp gaze.
And that person was Heathcliff.
In other words …
"What should I call you?"
Rozen said quietly.
"Should I continue to call you Heathcliff? Or should I call you … "
"— — — Kayaba Akihiko."
Rozen's voice was devoid of all emotion.
In this regard, Heathcliff did not make any statement, just murmured.
"Sure enough, I was discovered …"
It seemed that Heathcliff already knew that he was suspected by Rozen.
Although Heathcliff still did not know how Rozen suspected him, but based on his understanding of Rozen, this miraculous leader of the Clearers would not be so stupid that he did not notice that he had exposed himself in front of him.
Not to mention, Rozen's behavior at that time also told Heathcliff that his actions had been discovered by Rozen.
Therefore, Heathcliff chose to take the initiative to expose himself at this time.
"Do as you please, President Rozen."
