As a purple system message flashed in front of Heathcliff, all the players held their breath, and there was silence, as if time had been frozen.

"What's going on..., Captain!"

Asuna walked up slowly from the side and said with a trembling voice.

"Because this guy's HP is protected by a system that will never fall into the yellow zone."

Su Chen said softly. Although he had already made assumptions, he was still a little stunned when he saw this situation. He didn't expect that the strongest player in front of him was really a loser!!

"...Since I came to this world, I have always had a question, that is, where is that guy observing us now, and where is he adjusting the world?"

Kirito looked at the ceiling and said silently.

"But, I forgot a very simple and easy-to-know truth, which even children understand, that is, watching other people play RPG games is extremely boring, right... Kayaba

Akihiko!"

"Wow ah ah..."

"Are you kidding..."

"Heathcliff...is...Kayaba Akihiko??"

The surroundings were full of doubts and shocks, and there was an indescribable bone-chilling chill on the field.

Even Su Chen was shocked by Kirito's words. He did not expect the leader's identity. He simply thought that Heathcliff was a cheat with a golden finger.

"Kayaba Akihiko...well..."

Su Chen lowered his head and muttered softly. No one knew what his expression was now.

"Captain...really, is this like this?"

Asuna used a slightly hoarse voice to question the man in front of her. This legendary figure who had literally led the strategy team through most of the game's levels had now become a little stranger.

"How do you know this? Can you tell me? Just let me use it as a reference."

Heathcliff did not refute Kirito's words, but turned his head slightly and asked Su Chen and Kirito, with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.

"It was a duel. At that time, you deflected my sword at the last moment. That speed was too fast..."

"As expected, what about you? Did you also find out when you were fighting with me later? Ling Xiao!"

Heathcliff was a little helpless, with a bitter smile on his lips.

"Yes, but I didn't think much of it at the time. I simply thought it was because of your sacred sword. Although I couldn't figure it out later, I had no chance to fight you again. If I persisted for a few more seconds,

After a round, maybe your true face will be revealed by then."

Su Chen felt a little uncomfortable. Why did he give up such a good opportunity in the first place? What a pig!

"...Sigh, I was suppressed by your fierce offensive and had no choice but to use the system's extreme assistance..."

Heathcliff slowly looked at the players around him, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, I... am Kayaba Akihiko! By the way, I am the ultimate boss waiting for you on the top floor!"

"...!" Everyone present started to burst into an uproar.

"Although I really want to complain about this strange hobby of yours, the script is indeed quite exciting..."

Su Chen shrugged and couldn't help but whisper bb.

"Hey, Kirito, don't you think this script is great? Although it was revealed a little prematurely, oh, I thought there would be a wonderful plot!"

Heathcliff showed a regretful expression and smiled.

"...The strongest player becomes the most vicious final boss? I cannot agree with this poor taste."

Kirito said expressionlessly.

"Well, I had expected that the last person standing in front of me would be Kirito, but now there's you!"

Heathcliff looked at Su Chen and couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.

"Among all players, the [Two Sword Style] skill is given to those with the fastest reaction speed. At the same time, there are several other unique skills that will appear on different people, and these are given

Players with special skills will play the role of brave men who fight against the devil, although the final outcome is unpredictable."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Heathcliff said calmly.

"However, I am very curious, Ling Xiao. According to my observation, your ability should have enabled you to acquire other unique skills. Why... Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't answer!"

"It's okay to talk about this. I made some speculations earlier. I have indeed conducted research on the triggering conditions of hidden skills for a period of time, and I have also drawn some feasible conclusions."

"That......"

"Hehe, after all, I'm used to the one-handed sword, so I don't want to spend time doing anything else."

Su Chen said nonchalantly, after all, proficiency is difficult to improve, and he was too lazy to change weapons and rebuild.

"...Yeah, it's really a willful answer."

Heathcliff said calmly.

"However, your current abilities and strength have far exceeded my imagination. Although this is an unexpected development, it must be said that it is also a different kind of fun."

"Our loyalty and hope... how dare you..."

A player from the Blood Alliance Knights angrily picked up the giant sword in his hand and rushed over with a roar.

"Didi...didi..."

"Bang..."

However, Kayaba Akihiko didn't give him a chance. With the rapid sliding of his fingers, the player instantly stopped attacking and fell to the ground. An image suddenly appeared on his HP bar, which was the paralysis debuff. However, his

His hand did not stop and continued to operate the window.

With the paralysis attribute on everyone's heads, Kayaba Akihiko stopped moving.

Seeing that the only people still standing on the field were him and Kirito, Su Chen smiled bitterly, GM can really do whatever he wants!

"So? You are planning to silence yourself!"

Su Chen smiled lightly.

"Well, how could I do such an outrageous thing? It's very boring."

Kayaba Akihiko shook his head.

"Now that we have come to this point, there is no other way. I can only go to the [Red Jade Palace] first and wait for your arrival."

"Although it was not my intention to abandon you all halfway, I think that with your strength, I should be able to reach the top."

"But before that, I have to reward you for seeing through my true identity. Well, I'll give you a chance."

Kayaba Akihiko said with a smile.

"Chance?"

"You have the chance to challenge me one-on-one again, but it's only for one person. You decide who will come!"

"Of course, I will remove the immortal attribute this time. If you can win, then the game will be completely conquered. Then all players will be able to log out of this world. How about that?"

Seeing the man in front of him acting like he had a rare opportunity, to be honest, Su Chen was very unhappy now. He looked at Kirito who was holding the paralyzed Asuna, and Agilke who fell not far away.

Rein and other familiar people decided to accept this ridiculous bet.

"Snapped......"

Just as he was about to walk towards Kayaba Akihiko, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Let me show you the outcome!"

Kirito said quietly.

"Do not make jokes!"

Su Chen looked at the poor state of the guy next to him and scolded.

"Ling Xiao, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being willful. This is the only way I can make up for those who died because of me..."

"Kirito...you!"

Looking at the resolute Kirito in front of him, Su Chen couldn't help but think of that night, when he cried in front of the recording crystal, burdened with a heavy sense of guilt and depressed.

"well......"

Su Chen sighed and nodded.

"It seems the decision has been made..."

"drop......"

The body gradually collapsed, and Su Chen was also given a paralysis effect by Kayaba Akihiko.

"Tsk, I'm really helpless..."

Su Chen, who forced his upper body up slightly, smiled bitterly. In fact, he knew that if he went, the winning rate might be higher. After all, the two-sword style was originally designed by Kayaba. It would be okay if Kirito didn't use skills. Once he uses skills, then

It was a complete attempt to seek death, and the sword skills of the Ersword style were basically superior. Although the attack was powerful, it was inevitable to be hard for a long time. But he was different. With his mastery of skills, at least he would not be at a disadvantage. Of course, he could

If you can't beat it, it depends on your performance on the spot.

"Sorry, Asuna, I really can't escape at this time..."

Kirito, who was forcing a smile, looked at Asuna and said apologetically.

Although Asuna wanted to say something, she gave up in the end.

"You don't have any thoughts of seeking death..."

"Well, I will win, defeat him, and end this world!"

"I know, I believe you."
