Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

In the main street area on the fifth floor of No.70, which was newly opened last week, there are buildings in ancient Roman style.

The name indicated on the map is 【Korinya】.At present, many swordsmen, merchants and players have settled here, and there are also many people who do not participate in the strategy, but just to see the streets. The whole town can be said to be full of vitality.

Coupled with the rather rare special event today, the transfer gate has spewed out many visitors since the morning.

The streets are built by stacking white limestone cut into squares.Together with the temple-style buildings and the wide waterway, it is also known as the symbol of the town, and there is a huge arena standing in front of the transfer gate.

The duel between Lin Mu, Kirito and Heathcliff happened to be held here.

At this moment, the atmosphere here is quite lively.

"A cup of fire-breathing popcorn, ten cols! Ten cols!"

"Cold dark beer!" At the entrance of the arena, there were many shops of merchants and players lined up. Each of them opened their throats and shouted loudly, selling suspicious-looking food to the long queue of spectators.

In the lounge, looking at the scene outside, Lin Mu thought it was quite interesting and said to Asuna, "Your Blood Knights are called the strongest guild for no reason."

"Inviting other players to duel with the president, and then buying tickets for the spectators who come to watch, is not something that ordinary guilds can do..." Kirito added with a bitter face.

Asuna scratched her hair in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Then she changed the subject and said: "Ah, by the way, the competition is about to start, which of you two will go first?"

Facts have proved that Asuna's transfer of the topic was very successful. As soon as the words came out, Lin Mu and Kirito looked at each other, and then Lin Mu shrugged: "Kirito first."

"Why...?" Kirito was puzzled.

Lin Mu spread his hands and said seriously: "Because the protagonist always appears last."

"..." Kirito was speechless.

……

……

The arena's broadcast announcing the start of the duel was mixed with cheers that sounded like thunder from afar.

Kirito stared helplessly at Lin Shu, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa over there, then turned around and walked towards the arena.

The stepped auditorium surrounding the amphitheater was packed with at least 1000 people.

Agil and Klein could be seen in the front row, yelling dangerous and fanatical words like "hack him" and "kill him".

Kirito stopped in the middle of the arena.Immediately afterwards, a bright red figure appeared from the opposite lounge.The cheers at the scene became louder.

Normally the uniform of the Knights of the Blood that Heathcliff wore was a white background with a red pattern, but now he was wearing the exact opposite short coat with a red background.

Although he, like Lin Mutongren and others, hardly wore any protective gear on his body, the huge pure white cross shield held in his left hand was particularly eye-catching.It seems that the sword should be stored inside the shield, because at the top part of the shield, a cross-shaped hilt can be seen protruding out.

He walked in front of Kirito with ease, and then smiled lightly: "Oh...? Was Kirito the first to appear? I thought that according to Zero's temper, he should come first."

"...Zero said that the protagonist always appears last..." Kirito replied with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Heathcliff was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing again: "It's in line with his character."

After finishing speaking, his expression suddenly changed: "That's the end of the greetings, next, let's use the sword to communicate."

At the same time, the brass-colored pupils showed an overwhelming momentum.

This made Kirito couldn't help feeling timid and took half a step back.

Although the bodies of the two people should be lying far away from each other in the real world, and there is only a dialogue between the two people in digital files, but even so, Kirito can still really feel the other party's kind of what can only be called For the murderous momentum.

Kirito took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at the lounge behind him, where Lin Shu and Asuna were already standing at the door, staring at the arena here.

At the same time, Lin Mu raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

Kirito smiled slightly, then turned his head, switched his consciousness to combat mode, and received Heathcliff's gaze from the front.

The deafening cheers slowly moved away from him. He wondered if his sensory organs had begun to speed up. He even felt a subtle change in the surrounding colors.

After Heathcliff took his eyes off Kirito, he stepped back about ten meters, then he raised his right hand and manipulated the menu without looking at the window at all.

In an instant, the duel message appeared in front of him, and Kirito of course chose to allow it.The setting is to choose the first strike victory mode.

That is - the opponent is hit hard or the HP bar loses more than half of the winner.

The countdown has begun.The surrounding cheers have weakened to the sound of small ocean waves.

At the entrance of the lounge, Asuna held Lin Mu's hand and said nervously, "Zero, who do you think Kirito or the leader can win..."

Hearing Asuna's question, Lin Mu didn't answer immediately, but showed a pensive look.

In the end he shook his head: "I don't know, Kirito's strength is actually about the same as mine. I am the type who focuses on agility and vice versa, while Kirito is the opposite type who focuses on tendon strength and vice versa. , if I don’t use my unique skills, I’m slightly stronger than Kirito, but if I use my unique skills, we’re tied. After all, my [Nocturne] is more effective in team battles, and Kirito Ren's [Double Swordsmanship] is a single fighter... In other words, in fact, Kirito's strength is almost the same as mine. I can't be sure that I must be stronger than Heathcliff. Zcliffe."

……

Lin Mu was explaining to Asuna, but in the arena, the battle had already begun.

Kirito only felt that the blood flow in his whole body was gradually accelerating.

Using all his mental strength to suppress his urge to fight, and to get rid of the last bit of hesitation, he pulled out the two beloved swords on his back at the same time.

After all, what he was facing was an opponent who had to do his best to have a chance of winning from the very beginning. This opponent gave him the same feeling as when he was facing Lin Shu. If he couldn't exert every strength of his body, then There is absolutely no way to win!

Heathcliff drew the slender sword from the shield and assumed a fighting stance.

His posture with the shield facing this way, exposing only the upper body, seemed quite relaxed and natural, and it seemed that he didn't use any extra strength at all.

Every top swordsman knows that trying to predict the enemy's first move will only lead to confusion, and Kirito is no different.

So he made up his mind to attack with all his strength from the beginning.

Although neither of them looked at the window, they rushed out at the same time when the word [DUEL] appeared.

Kirito lowered his body and rushed forward in one breath, almost gliding forward on the ground.

Turning around when he was approaching Heathcliff, the sword in his right hand slashed diagonally down to the left.

The cross shield met Kirito's attack, and sparks exploded.But Kirito used a two-stage attack, the sword in his left hand was one-tenth of a second slower than the attack on the right, and slid into the shield.This is the two-sword rush technique [Double Fan Slash].

The blow on the left was blocked by the long sword when it was about to reach the enemy's flank, and only the ring-shaped light effect drew a circle in vain.Although it was a pity, this blow was at best used to greet the beginning of this battle.

Kirito took advantage of the rest of his sword skills to gain distance and repositioned himself.

As a result, this time it was Heathcliff who charged Kirito with his shield as if to pay back.

His right arm was hidden in the shadow of the huge cross shield, making it impossible to see clearly.
