This time, it was just a result of the final fermentation of this topic.

The whole SAO was completely boiling!

The news about Makino and Hitzcliff's duel was even more rumored and rampant.

certainly.

One of the gossips that must be mentioned is the duel between Makino and Hitzcliff, both of which were the first to win the championship and the first time (Asuna).

Even Muye didn't know how this gossip spread!

However, when Makino learned about this news, the entire SAO had already spread.

Even if Makino and Asuna jointly refute the rumors, they have no effect.

On the contrary, the members of the Knights of the Blood Alliance all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

Another significant impact is that the gambling industry in SAO is booming.

The topic of which Makino and Hitzcliff is better has become the biggest bet ever in SAO.

Although there is not much difference between the two in terms of odds, it can still be seen that Makino and Hitzcliff have different influences.

What Hezcliff gained more are the influence of senior players, especially the strategy group.

However, Makino's influence is mainly based on middle and lower-level players.

As for the strategy group, Makino and Hitzcliff are still somewhat different.

Of course, these differences are extremely weak

The duel between Makino and Hitzcliff was finally chosen to be in the arena on the 70th floor.

It is called an arena, but just looking at the image, it is more like a Colosseum.

However, the design of the "Colosseum" is very suitable for viewers.

When Makino and the players of Freedom Wings arrived at the arena, the arena was already crowded, and the audience was filled with players from all levels.

In terms of scale, it is almost catching up with the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala a few days ago. It is conceivable how many players are looking forward to this battle.

"The people of the Wings of Freedom are here!"

I don’t know who shouted, and the entire arena was completely noisy.

"Makino!"

"Makino!"

"Makino!"

The sound of shouts resounded through the sky.

Not to mention others, even Makino was a little excited.

As for the rest of the Free Wings Guild, everyone was even more excited.

Each of them knew that President Makino had a great influence, but this situation was still a bit beyond everyone's imagination.

Of course, Makino has a large number of supporters, and Hitzcliff is no exception.

While Makino's supporters shouted the name of "Makino", Hizcliff's supporters also made efforts, and the voices of supporting Hizcliff's victory were also shining through the sky.

What's even more incredible is that these two sounds are coming one after another, and they are even more energetic.

This made countless people who were watching melon-eating?

They knew that Makino and Hitzcliff were both very popular, but they didn't expect that their popularity was so high.

The showdown between characters like Makino and Hitzcliff, especially with so many audiences coming, even if the two parties want to be simple, they can't be simple.

What followed was that various procedures became more and more complicated and formalized.

Perhaps in order to prevent accidents or even possible interference from duels, the members of the Free Wings Guild were first guided into the audience.

Under the leadership of the service staff, Makino came to a preparation room and a small room facing the arena.

Although the room is small, it has all the internal organs and is equipped with all kinds of facilities.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is very convenient for Makino to enter the arena here.

Outside the room, cheers were heard one after another.

However, nothing can affect Makino's mood.

Silently wiping the dark holy sword in his hand, Makino's heart became more and more peaceful.

But at this moment, Makino accidentally received a communication from Asuna.

"Even if it is a one-hit, it will still be dangerous if you take a heavy attack head-on. Especially the leader's sword skills still have many unknowns. If you think it's not good, you will surrender immediately. Do you know?"

Makino smiled, without thinking, and replied directly, "You're still worried about Hitzcliff."

Here, I have to mention the duel mechanism in SAO.

Because SAO has become a death game, it is generally absolutely forbidden to initiate PK without authorization.

However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is absolutely prohibited to initiate PKs, which is impossible.

Therefore, PK can also be performed in SAO, but there are some limitations.

The first is the geographical restrictions.

In the circle, players are unable to commit any criminal acts and are in a safe area.

Outside the circle, if players pk without authorization, the first player will be given the criminal's attributes, and the color float will turn orange and will not be able to enter the circle.

However, if it is a duel, it can be carried out whether it is inside or outside the circle.

The key to the duel is that both sides agree!

After both sides agree, the attacker will not become an Orange Name.

Of course, as long as it is a rule, there will be loopholes.

This loophole is the sleep PK commonly used by the Criminal Guild.

The so-called "sleep PK killing method" is a method of using the complete winning and losing model to achieve the purpose of killing.

The prisoner takes the opportunity to claim a one-on-one final victory or defeat duel when the target player is sleeping, and uses the player's finger to point his own consent key in the application window.

In this way, you can kill people without risking the name of a criminal player. This is the method of killing people in the circle.

However, after this method was discovered, players became alert.

Although players who know that hp will die if they return to zero will not easily agree to the duel, SAO's duel has also been designed into two modes.

One is the complete winning and losing mode in normal state, and the other is the one-hit winning and losing mode.

The complete win-loss mode is who will win by cutting other people's HP to 0 first, while the one-hit win-loss mode is who will win by cutting other people's HP to 50%.

There was no difference between the two, but after SAO became a death game, the complete winning and losing mode was absolutely banned.

but.

Even if it is a one-hit winning mode, there is no risk of death at all.

Duel in one-hit win-loss mode ends when one of the duels’ HP is less than 50%.

In the circle, when a window indicating the result of the duel appears, the attacks that the player continues to launch will be blocked by the system's protection and become invalid.

This may sound safe, but if a player has 2,000 HP, and if he is left with 50%, he will be attacked enough to cause 1,000 damage, the HP will immediately drop to 0.

Even if it is a duel, once HP becomes 0, the player will still die.

On the other hand, since the attacker is launched in duel mode, even if the player is killed, it will not become an orange name.

This mode has been used by Orange Name players and even Orange Name Guild, which has killed many players and once caused panic.

To sum up, the winning and losing mode of one strike is also a mode with huge risks. If there is no unresolved hatred, players will still remain restrained and will not initiate PK without authorization.

In other words, the duel between Makino and Hitzcliff is likely to cause a dead situation.

Even if one of the parties is killed, there is no need to be responsible!

This is also one of the important reasons why players are so enthusiastic. The battle between Makino and Hitzcliff was in some ways a death battle signed by a "life and death situation".
