Heathcliff's statement was correct.
Indeed, Rozen was not a brave man.
Compared to the hero who fought the demon king directly, Rozen's real position should be a leader, a strategist, and a strategist.
He could lead countless warriors and slaughter everyone on the battlefield, obtaining complete victory.
He could come up with countless strategies to deal with all kinds of situations and bring out countless tactics and strategies.
He could even use his own thinking, ideas, and high-speed understanding of the current situation to cultivate the two tamed monsters beyond Heathcliff's expectation, and he could even make high-performance weapons in advance.
That was why Rozen was able to become the savior of humanity, and even the heroes in history could be controlled and enslaved.
Such a Rozen was not so much a hero, but a king.
Even if this king was lazy, childish, and often not serious, he had the charm to attract anyone to follow him, and he could even win miraculous victories, and he even had the ability to build a huge kingdom that lasted for a long time.
This position was naturally quite different from the hero who had defeated the Demon King.
However, Heathcliff gave a higher evaluation of Rozen.
"I'm very curious. To what extent can you cultivate those two Tamed Monsters? To what extent can you forge high-performance weapons in advance? To what extent can you lead the clearers to fight? These are things that the system can't give you. These are things that belong to you."
Heathcliff's eyes began to shine as he looked at Rozen.
"Seeing such a thing, how can I let the things in this world affect you?"
It was for this reason that Heathcliff didn't give Rozen the Dual Blade Technique.
That was the essence of the man named Heathcliff … No, it should be Kayaba Akihiko.
In order to create this world, Heathcliff surpassed all the framework and laws of the real world. He did not hesitate to imprison 10,000 Players here and turned this world into a different reality.
In this world, Rozen, with his own talent, gradually jumped out of the framework and laws of the designer, and achieved a miracle so far. He even trained Saichou and Hanachou to a level beyond Heathcliff's expectation, and when he was still on the 60th Floor, he created the Deep Blue that shouldn't have appeared.
Heathcliff saw himself in Rozen, and as the creator of this world, he continued to watch Rozen, wanting to know what Rozen could do in this world.
Therefore, Heathcliff secretly made adjustments and gave the Dual Blade Technique to the second fastest Player in this world, that is, Kirito, so that Rozen wouldn't rely on the power of this world. He wanted to see Rozen's own possibilities and future.
If Kirito was used to defeat himself as the final demon king in Heathcliff's script, then Rozen was used to break the rules of the world he created in Heathcliff's script.
"So, it's really not my intention to become what it is now."
Heathcliff ended his explanation with such a sentence.
In other words, if possible, Heathcliff wanted to continue to observe.
But he didn't expect that Rozen had already seen through his identity before he reached the 100th Floor.
And it was because of his own fault.
Since that was the case, Heathcliff had to stand up and take responsibility for his mistake.
Even if Rozen didn't expose Heathcliff's identity, Heathcliff wouldn't be able to stand it.
"If I were to turn a blind eye to your abilities, that would be going against my original intentions."
Heathcliff made such a statement.
In light of this, Rozen finally stood here and became the one facing Heathcliff.
"Originally, the one standing in front of me should be the Clearers led by Kirito -san, and you're the one leading them. It's a bit of a pity that it turned into a one-on-one duel."
From the point of view of a game developer, Heathcliff spoke as if it had nothing to do with him, like a god watching the plot unfold from the sidelines.
This was also the fundamental difference between Heathcliff and others.
This man has always been in a high position, overlooking the development of this world. He regarded the players as a part of the world he designed, looking at it with an objective, calm, and indifferent attitude.
This time, if it weren't for Rozen's influence, this man wouldn't have chosen to start the final battle in this way, right?
"But maybe it's good that this kind of accident happened. The real reality doesn't operate according to anyone's will. From this point of view, this kind of accident is also proof that this world is more perfect, right?"
Heathcliff said to himself.
To be honest …
"Well, I'm tired of hearing it," Rozen sighed and said: "After all, your plan is doomed to fail."
Hearing this, Heathcliff's interest was piqued.
"Why do you say that?"
Heathcliff asked curiously.
In response, Rozen just smiled.
"Because when you announced that SAO will become a death game in the Town of Beginnings, I had already decided."
Decided what?
"I've decided to teach you a lesson."
Therefore …
"You want to spar with a hero?"
Rozen grinned, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Let me step on you first!"
As soon as he finished speaking …
"Bang!"
Rozen fiercely stomped on the ground, and his entire body turned into an afterimage as he violently rushed out.
"Hmph …"
Heathcliff smiled indifferently. Then, he also narrowed his eyes and rushed out.
However, at this moment, Rozen suddenly stretched his hand to the back of his waist and took out an item from his waist bag.
It was a pitch-black diamond that was dotted with specks of light.
“.....！？”
Seeing this scene, Heathcliff's expression changed for the first time.
As the creator of this world, Heathcliff naturally had a thorough understanding of the tools in this world.
Thanks to this, Heathcliff recognized the origin of the sharp diamond almost immediately.
"Magic Marrow …!"
"Magic Marrow."
It was a throwing tool.
As the name suggested, this was a kind of projectile that was similar to a demon. Once it hit its target, it would be able to penetrate deep into the target's bone marrow, making it impossible to defend against.
In other words, the effect of this throwing item was to break through defense.
Once hit, no matter what kind of Defense the target had, it would be broken through cleanly. Not only would it cause great damage, but if the target's Defense came from the defensive equipment, it would even destroy the defensive equipment, instantly depleting the durability of the defensive equipment.
Due to its amazing effect, this throwing item was considered an S-grade super rare item in this world. Only Boss monsters above the 70th floor had a very low chance of dropping it.
And now, Rozen had taken out such an S-class tool.
"Isn't its defense pretty high? Let's try defending against this! "
Rozen raised the pitch-black drill in his hand.
Clang!
