[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

At this time, the Holy Dragon Alliance, which broke in from the east, encountered extraordinary difficulties and obstacles.

Different from the three-person team of the Holy Dragon Alliance, it may be because the location on the east side, according to the observation of the secret agent, is the main access point for the smiling coffin to go out for activities and parties. Heathcliff and others formulated the team at the beginning The strategy of alternately encircling and assaulting at close range, and Kirito, who was recently forced to join the blood alliance for no reason, was designated to follow Heathcliff, and formed the main vanguard with another regiment leader guard.

This decision met with legitimate opposition from the outset.

"Captain, it's too dangerous for you to lead people to the front line like this. The target of this mission is the Murder Guild, please take over the authority again!" A deputy chief objected bluntly.

"Well, Zuo En, don't you believe in my strength?"

"No! How come! But..."

"I am known as the strongest man, although I don't think so." Heathcliff glanced at everyone present, "But I am willing to be the strongest existence in your eyes, and I will always lead and protect all of you. people! So, let us go forward without fear!"

……

"Kirito-kun." Heathcliff, who was hiding in the woods, suddenly called out Kirito's name softly.

"Um... here!"

"Well, don't be too nervous." Heathcliff laughed lowly, which made the nervous Kirito relax inexplicably.

"I have known you since a long time ago. To be honest, I have always been very curious about Kirito-kun, hoping to have the opportunity to get to know you up close, and the last duel can be said to have come true. Kirito-kun showed His strength is quite admirable to me, and he is indeed a player who has obtained the dual-sword style~"

"Eh... all this time?" Kirito, who suddenly knew that someone was paying attention to him, suddenly felt a cold sweat all over his body, and at the same time, deep doubts rose in his heart, "When..."

In the distance, a signal flare rose slowly.

"However, no matter how powerful you are, you must be careful when facing tonight's enemies!" Heathcliff didn't say anything, and his whole person became solemn.

"set off!"

Although Kirito always felt that there seemed to be some other meaning in Heathcliff's words just now, but everything he had encountered in rushing into the battlefield left him with no time to take care of those irrelevant things.

Because, the most worrying thing happened.

Kirito hopped on one foot, dodging a hidden weapon that clearly carried something unknown from his side, and then swung his sword violently, resisting the short knife stabbing in front of him.

"Sure enough... the plan is still exposed..."

With a murmur, an impact rushed away the person in front of him, and then the other hand pulled out another snow-white sword without hesitation, adding a thick color to the guy who was trying to escape.

And Heathcliff, who happened to see all this in his eyes, smiled slightly.

The follow-up of the follow-up troops has greatly reduced the pressure on Kirito to a certain extent, probably because the vanguard of the enemy is not very strong. This flaw tore a bigger hole, and what Kirito had to do was to keep moving forward, constantly opening the opponent's gap.

It seemed that someone fell down beside him, but there was a new person to make up for it. Kirito himself just blindly followed the figure that was always jumping in front, and he didn't know where he was rushing.

There are fewer and fewer people around.

When the two broke into a small dark and quiet space further inside, the new enemy finally stopped jumping out, and the short gap allowed Kirito to calm down the fatigue that arose from the endless swinging of the knife just now. .

"Well done."

"what?"

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the man who was still standing steadily say this to him.

"I thought your sword would hesitate in front of those people, but the result is unexpectedly decisive."

This time, Kirito heard clearly and understood.

He raised his head in a daze and looked at the person in front of him. His chilling face made his whole demeanor seem gloomy, which seemed to be a little different from the rumors he heard in the past.

"Didn't you cut down your sword without any scruples?" Kirito, who was still immersed in the killing, had no patience, and the shame of being deliberately exposed made him a little irritable, "I have been watching, The number one strongman in SAO, who has always been generous, has no hesitation in killing the lives of his own kind."

"Benevolence? That's just someone else's opinion." Heathcliff was not surprised by Kirito's attack, and raised the sword in his hand, "The sword in my hand is for my will and for my companions who walk with me." Therefore, when dealing with enemies, no matter whether they are of different races or the same kind, I have no hesitation in pointing the sword in my hand."

Kirito was startled, inexplicably felt that Heathcliff had a feeling of loneliness and tenacity, that kind of temperament similar to that of early morning...

"careful!"

At the moment when Heathcliff issued a warning, Kirito's sixth sense that suddenly screamed made him kick his right foot and rush to a far corner, and the place where Heathcliff and Heathcliff had just settled down and talked, appeared A deep dent was made.

"Ara, you are indeed recognized as the two strongest men in SAO." A man with a fluent English tone greeted with a fluent but somewhat discordant accent, "Although I have always hoped to be able to be with the same peak People woke up to a dream communication... Really, a pleasant encounter~"

It unexpectedly appeared suddenly without alarming himself and Heathcliff, superb concealment skills or props...

"PoH?" Heathcliff slowly expressed his guess, which shocked Kirito beside him.

Is he the leader of the smiling coffin that has the power to distort humanity by gathering those around him like a magnet and constantly changing its values? !

Subconsciously, Kirito floated towards the faintly visible hilt of the sword on his waist, the legendary "Friend Slasher"...

What a fateful encounter.

"Even the great regiment leader remembered my name. It seems that the painstaking efforts and efforts of my subordinates and I have not been in vain." A tall figure slowly came out of the shadows, faintly visible under the dim light He has short blonde hair, "Although this is a matter of course."

"What an arrogant speech." Heathcliff slowly raised the sword and shield in his hand, "As an assassin, but you walk in front of the enemy so arrogantly, your behavior is equally unscrupulous."

"Hahaha." The man walking in front of him let out a wanton smile, "Unscrupulous, no, no, I'm afraid the leader may have misunderstood my strength...well..."

Before the words were finished, at a speed almost beyond the reach of the naked eye, the gleaming short sword slid straight from the outside of the shield to Heathcliff's side ribs in a strange trajectory.

Oops... This kind of extreme speed and agility, weird body skills, and narrow field range, have an obvious suppressing effect on a shield swordsman who is good at attacking and defending with a sacred sword...

There was a faint sound behind him, the battle line is about to advance here, but now this kind of stalemate...

Kirito couldn't help frowning, then decisively pulled out his sword, and rushed to the side to attack the downwind direction.

"Heathcliff! Switch!"

During the fierce battle, the red swordsman suddenly turned to the side, revealing a small gap.

Opportunity to take advantage of——

"clang--"

PoH looked in surprise at another sword protruding from behind the shield in front of him, blocking the dagger that he should have been able to stab through without hindrance.

Heathcliff, who was supposed to retreat, just gave Kirito a gap, and didn't retreat directly, and Kirito also took advantage of the situation under the cover of Heathcliff's shield, directly blocking the opponent's attack by surprise.

"Oh... Such a switch is really..."

When the swords collided for a moment, Heathcliff quickly retreated backwards, and at the same time, the sword in Kirito's other hand also moved forward without hindrance.

PoH immediately withdrew his sword and flipped backwards a few times.

"Such a joint sneak attack does not seem to be in line with the style of a decent swordsman~"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Kirito's eyes.

"Our purpose is to capture or even kill you." Heathcliff's voice sounded at the right time, "Kirito-kun, the Sword of Waiting cannot be confused."

what……

Kirito narrowed his eyes slightly.

As early as on that confused hill, when the high-raised sword was stained with the life of the enemy, he had already understood this truth.

When the eyes looked directly at the opponent again, they were already full of fighting spirit.

"Oh, my ability is not limited to this~"

Suddenly, a purple light shone on the dagger, did the sword skill activate?

Kirito drew another sword with his backhand.

"me too."

Block, attack, dodge, slash...

With the opponent's flexible resistance and counterattack, this kind of collision of unpredictable strength, which is completely different from the leader of the raider, once again filled Kirito's heart with some kind of passion.

At the end of a round of fighting, both Kirito and PoH left a wound on each other.

This is a collision between fighters who are also at the peak of existence, and this collision makes Kirito also become excited.

But, suddenly—

There was a smile on the other's face.

"I'm not a messenger of justice."

what? !

At this time, Kirito was constantly approaching the large army that was fighting together due to the continuous attacks from PoH. Many blood alliance fighters were fighting their enemies not far away. Could it be that he wanted to kill each other? Did the fighting between the crowds cause new chaos? !

Compared with the Raiders' Raiders, the Smiling Coffin, which aims to kill people, is obviously more mobile and flexible. Although the level is not the highest, it can give the blood alliance players the greatest lethality.

Seeing Heathcliff trying to control the scene, Asuna and others, Kirito secretly made up his mind: he must not let his trick succeed!

Just when Kirito was trying to suppress PoH's attack to a certain range, suddenly, a strange sense of crisis came from behind him.

"Puchi-"

A cold feeling spread from his back along his bones throughout his body, and the momentary convulsion made the moves in his hands obviously slow down.

"It's actually you..." Kirito, who had recovered from the emptiness of the battle, tried to turn his head around, looking at the man in the red and white uniform behind him with obvious disbelief.

A twisted smile bloomed on his thin face.

People on the ground who noticed the situation here roared angrily.

"What are you doing! Klatil!!"

Asuna, who had been watching this side invisible, also let out a cry of panic.

And these voices sounded like heavenly sounds to PoH, which made the corners of his lips curl up happily.

"Jealousy, hatred, madness... the dark heart will be the sharpest weapon! Farewell~Black Swordsman~"

The black dagger stabbed at the falling black swordsman before everyone had time to react. Heathcliff who stopped everyone behind him, Asuna who had been paying close attention to the battle here and wanted to rush over, and Many others watched in horror or regret as the tragedy unfolded.

"Gun shot—"

The golden light blocked Kirito's chest with the dagger that was stabbing so straightly with a slight difference.

"Huh?" The man with an evil face, with pure curiosity like a child, followed the golden sword skill and looked at a figure in the distance, "This is..."

On the other hand, Kirito on the ground shrank his pupils for a moment, and a deep sense of shame and joy jumped in his heart.

That is……
