Heathcliff shook his head and smiled. His eyes stared directly at the boy and continued, "There's no such thing as cheating or not. Even if I did cheat, what can you do? You should be glad that I'm willing to fight you within the rules."
Kirigaya Naoki fell silent again, and the fact was indeed as the other party said. He had to be glad that the other party was willing to fight in a fair manner.
Otherwise, he would be facing an unreasonable privilege dog now.
"Of course, I did tamper with your unique skills," Heathcliff said.
Kirigaya Naoki's expression froze, and then his eyes suddenly contracted. He said angrily, "You bastard!"
Heathcliff laughed and said, "You're wrong again. It seems you still don't understand me enough. I just transferred the skills that originally belonged to you to Kirito."
Kirigaya Naoki frowned and said, "The skills that originally belonged to me?"
Heathcliff said, "In this world, other than my Holy Sword, which I obtained directly, I designed a total of ten unique skills, and the other unique skills have their own acquisition conditions. Among them, the acquisition condition for the skill called Dual Swords is that you must have the fastest reaction speed of all players."
Kirigaya Naoki raised an eyebrow and quickly understood what the other party meant.
Whether it was Roa or Kirigaya Kazuto, their nerve reactions were far superior to ordinary people. After all, Roa's main body was there. As a caster's mind and a swordsman's agility, even a split soul couldn't possibly be inferior to others in terms of nerve reaction.
However, Kirigaya Naoki didn't feel much displeasure about this matter. Although the Dual Swords sword skill was indeed powerful to some extent, it wasn't that the most powerful was the most suitable. Compared to Dual Swords, Battoujutsu was his favorite.
Kirigaya Naoki snorted coldly and said to Heathcliff, "There's no need to say so much. You and I are bound to have a battle, aren't we?"
Heathcliff's smiling face gradually converged, and his eyes stared directly at Kirigaya Naoki and said, "Alright then, let me see your strength."
The battle was about to break out. Roa held Moxie in his backhand, and the momentum on his body reached its peak.
At the same time, blue light began to emerge from his body.
Heathcliff said expressionlessly, "All the skills in this world were given to you by me. Your skill Berserk was also obtained with my permission. Let me think, what are the characteristics of your skill? Enhance all your attributes? But if you keep using this state to fight me, your stamina will run out quickly, right?"
The time Kirigaya Naoki spent accumulating momentum wasn't long. His Sword God Style had reached the Sword King level in this world, and with the addition of the unique skill Battoujutsu, he didn't need too long a pre-motion at all.
Or rather, he had already been accumulating momentum since the other party started talking.
It was a momentum that was enough to shatter everything, a momentum that was indomitable and destroyed everything. In fact, a huge black figure could even appear out of thin air behind Kirigaya Naoki.
Heathcliff revealed a smile. He said, "Then, I will cancel my GM privileges. The BOSS battle begins. If I win, you die. If you win, I die."
Kirigaya Naoki exhaled, and the bricks on the ground were gradually shattered. Almost in the blink of an eye, Kirigaya Kazuto had already appeared in front of Heathcliff. Moxie was drawn from its sheath, and the purple lightning was extremely swift. This sword was faster than the previous one. Heathcliff undoubtedly didn't react.
"But, so what?"
Heathcliff's Holy Cross Shield shone with a white luster. The shield and sword collided, and the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the Ruby Palace. Moxie's extremely swift slash was actually blocked by the other party.
Heathcliff revealed a smile. He continued to say to Kirigaya Naoki, "Actually, I've been choosing a hero for a long time, just like in the novels. The hero will lead their team, defeat the final demon king, and usher in world peace."
Kirigaya Naoki didn't speak, but held Moxie in his backhand, and another purple lightning flashed, but it was still blocked by the Holy Cross Shield.
The other party's defense value was too high. It made sense, since the other party was a guy who could withstand the 70th floor BOSS for thirty minutes alone. As long as the other party's shield was there, he wouldn't be able to cause effective damage at all.
Then, as long as his speed was extremely fast, and he slashed out a sword that the other party couldn't defend against, it might be possible to end all of this. No, no, it wouldn't be possible to end the battle with just that. Only by defeating him, only by using the crushing of all attributes could he end all of this.
After figuring everything out, the light emanating from Kirigaya Naoki's body was no longer blue, but purple. Immense power roamed throughout Kirigaya Naoki's body. At this time, Kirigaya Naoki only felt that his body was so light, and his brain was clearer than ever before.
Suddenly, Kirigaya Naoki stabbed out another sword. The momentum that was so immense that it almost materialized, and the purple lightning slashed out again. This time, not only did Moxie turn into purple lightning, but Kirigaya Naoki himself turned into a purple lightning.
It was a slash that was fast to the extreme.
In that instant, the entire Ruby Palace could even hear the sound of thunder, and the surface of the Ruby Palace was crushed.
Heathcliff raised his shield to block, and the cross sword in his hand suddenly stabbed towards Kirigaya Kazuto's position. At the same time, Heathcliff's unique skill was also triggered at this moment.
Holy Cross Sword!
Suddenly, the cross sword turned into a white light and attacked Kirigaya Naoki s position.
Kirigaya Naoki was also shocked. The other party could actually determine his position, and looking at the power carried by that sword, Kirigaya Naoki knew with a slight sense that this sword couldn't be blocked at all.
The other party's power was astonishing. A swordsman was indomitable. Once this sword was swung, it couldn't be taken back at all. At the critical moment, Kirigaya Naoki activated the Sword Heart's See Through skill. The other party's vicious sword, like a poisonous snake, gradually slowed down in Kirigaya Naoki's eyes, and finally reached a speed that could barely be reacted to.
Kirigaya Naoki suddenly leaned to the right at the critical moment, and only then did he dodge the other party's tricky and vicious stab.
Kirigaya Naoki dodged the other party's stab, and the Moxie in his hand didn't stop. The purple electric light directly bombarded the other party's shield again. This was Kirigaya Naoki's full-strength strike. Even a character like Heathcliff couldn't withstand this strike unscathed.
His HP was shaken down by the power of this sword, but his own health was still very healthy.
And Kirigaya Naoki's state wasn't good either. He felt that his internal organs were constantly burning. This was caused by his body not being able to withstand the powerful force.
Kirigaya Naoki couldn't fight a protracted war with the other party at all. Once the battle time was prolonged, he would definitely die.
What should he do?
Forget it, it was a desperate fight anyway. His task was completed, so there was no need to worry so much.
In a sudden moment, Kirigaya Naoki's HP was actually declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this time, not only was Kirigaya Naoki emitting purple lightning, but a layer of mist even appeared around him.
Kirigaya Naoki's speed could actually increase by another notch. He suddenly kicked Heathcliff's shield.
Heathcliff's eyes suddenly contracted. His body trembled, and he was kicked into the air.
At the same time, Heathcliff also felt incredible. The other party actually gave up his best sword skills and chose to kick?
What was even more incredible was that the other party's kick actually kicked him into the air?
He had armor all over his body, not to mention his own weight, but the cross shield and cross sword were both extremely heavy weapons. If it wasn't for a player with all attribute points in strength, he wouldn't be able to equip these two weapons at all, but he was kicked away by the other party?
Then, he understood the other party's plan.
In the air, he couldn't borrow strength to dodge at all, and could only try his best to block the other party's slash.
Kirigaya Naoki's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his figure turned into purple lightning again and disappeared in place.
The purple lightning appeared again. In an instant, three slashes came from all directions. Heathcliff was forced to block with the cross shield, and his body was blasted away by the huge force in an instant, and slammed hard against the wall. The huge force almost made him embedded in the wall.
Heathcliff was completely stunned at this time, and his HP had dropped to the edge of the yellow critical value that symbolized danger.
Heathcliff struggled to get up, but a figure appeared in front of Heathcliff again.
Kirigaya Naoki replied in an extremely hoarse voice, "Go to the afterlife quietly."
Heathcliff's eyes contracted, and he subconsciously raised his shield to block. Moxie collided with the cross shield again, and the powerful force almost made him unable to hold the shield in his hand, but looking at the other party's blood bar that had dropped to red, Heathcliff didn't know where he got the strength from, and he actually gritted his teeth and held on to the attack.
But with a slight sound, Heathcliff's face changed.
Then there was the sound of the shield shattering.
Looking at the shattered shield in his hand, he couldn't care so much and directly stretched out his left hand to grab Moxie.
In the sound of cutting, the lightning flashing with purple light was firmly grasped by Heathcliff's hand.
Heathcliff roared incredulously, "This is impossible, you can't break my shield! How can you have this attribute!"
Kirigaya Naoki was no longer in the mood to answer the other party's question at this time.
Both of their HPs were declining rapidly, especially Heathcliff. When he really went to catch Moxie with his bare hands, he would find a terrifying fact. His HP actually dropped directly to the value representing the red zone.
And Kirigaya Naoki's state was also very bad at this time. His heart was about to jump out of his throat, and there wasn't a single place on his body that didn't hurt. Even every inch of his skin was screaming in pain.
The pain in his body could be endured by gritting his teeth, but the key was the burning in his spirit. His consciousness was even constantly declining, but the pain coming from his body was constantly telling Kirigaya Naoki that the battle wasn't over yet.
He had already burned his spirit, body, and stamina to exchange for this extremely short burst.
There was no need to say how buggy the unique skill that Heathcliff had given himself was, but no matter how unbelievable it was, he had reached the edge of life and death.
The shattering of the shield also declared that the other party's unique skill couldn't be released.
Unique skills were certainly powerful, and could even be described as buggy.
But the conditions had to be met to use unique skills.
For example, Kirito's Dual Swords skill had to equip two swords at the same time.
Kirigaya Naoki's Battoujutsu had to have a scabbard to be used.
The same goes for Heathcliff's Holy Sword skill, which requires equipping both the Holy Cross Sword and the Holy Cross Shield to be used.
Now that Heathcliff has lost the Holy Cross Shield, it naturally means that the Holy Sword skill is sealed.
That's also why Heathcliff chose to use his own flesh and blood to take the sword head-on.
His seemingly reckless decision was precisely the key to determining the outcome.
At this time, Kirigaya Naoki's HP was almost burned to the bottom, not only HP, but even his stamina was about to be completely squeezed dry.
And this lasted for less than 10 seconds. Kirigaya Naoki's originally handsome golden hair turned gray in an instant, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
At this time, Heathcliff quickly noticed that something was wrong, but the key now was how to defeat the opponent.
As long as, as long as he kept holding on to this sword, the opponent would definitely die.
That was his thought at this time, but he was destined to be disappointed.
With another kick, Kirigaya Naoki kicked out again. This time, half of Heathcliff's body was directly paralyzed by this kick, and Heathcliff flew out again, this time flying dozens of feet before stopping.
Kirigaya Naoki's kick was not so easy to take. This kick almost kicked away one-tenth of Heathcliff's life value, making his already small amount of HP even more precarious.
But the purple lightning did not reappear, and the imagined severe pain did not come, which made Heathcliff slightly stunned.
Heathcliff got up and looked back at the position where the opponent was originally standing.
And at this time, Kirigaya Naoki's entire body had already turned into coke.
And the opponent's HP had been completely reduced to zero.
Dead?
That was Heathcliff's first thought, but more than that, there was confusion and incomprehension.
He had not caused the opponent even the slightest bit of damage, but the opponent had died inexplicably?
There was no joy of surviving, only inexplicable sighs.
If the hero could not defeat the demon king, then the world would continue until a new hero stood up.
It was just that suddenly, Heathcliff noticed an extremely strange thing, that was, the sword in the opponent's hand was gone.
The sword stained with his blood was gone?
A purple long sword fell from directly above the Ruby Palace, and Heathcliff, sensing the danger, wanted to roll to the left, but Heathcliff's stamina was also exhausted, and he could not dodge in time, so he had to move his body slightly.
This extremely gorgeous long sword easily pierced through Heathcliff's body, nailing the opponent firmly to the bricks.
"This is, a throwing skill?" Heathcliff was a little dazed.
And this was suddenly Kirigaya Naoki's last trump card, a sword skill that was not a sword skill.
The inspiration also came from the small tricks that Roa had always looked down on, the North God Style.
It was just a pity that even this last sword could not end the opponent.
At the critical moment, a slight green light emerged from Heathcliff's body, but it was this slight green light that laid the foundation for the key to victory or defeat.
Heathcliff had four fully learned skills - Holy Sword, Recovery During Battle, Damage Reduction, and Light Shield Defense.
And this green light was Recovery During Battle.
At this time, Heathcliff only had a trace left, but it was this trace that successfully held on to the opponent's last breath.
Heathcliff revealed a smile, he murmured: "Then, I win–"
Before he could finish his words, he noticed that something was wrong.
There was still something hanging on the purple long sword, what was that thing?
In the next moment, a scorching heat wave suddenly erupted behind him.
At this moment, Heathcliff recognized this item, an item dropped by the 90th floor BOSS, an S-grade item [Dragon Breath]
Heathcliff's HP was reduced to zero, and he turned into purple-black flames and dissipated.
