Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood Oath, is actually the chief planner of the game Sword Art Online. He uploaded his consciousness to the internet and then committed suicide at home in Kayaba Akihiko.
In the game, the identity of Heathcliff that he created for himself possesses a special skill that is as powerful as, or even surpasses, dual-wielding: the Divine Sword.
This is what Asuna calls a god-level skill that disrupts the game's balance.
The Sacred Sword is a special sword technique based on the principle of "using the sword as the primary hand for attack and the shield as the secondary hand for attack, rather than simply using the shield for defense." This skill, along with Dual Wielding, is considered a unique skill because it is wielded by only one person.
As the strongest player in SAO right now, even with cheats, he's still someone that a bottom-tier player like Lin Yan from the past couldn't handle.
Realizing this, Lin Yan quickly abandoned the longsword and ran high into the sky!
This action made Asuna, who was already on tenterhooks and secretly worried about Lin Yan in the stands, stand up and scream.
Heathcliff hadn't expected Lin Yan to dare to use such a tactic, but although he was surprised, he reacted very quickly, retreating while using his shield to try and knock Lin Yan's chicken leg.
But it was too late.
Lin Yan's speed was faster than he had imagined.
In Aincrad's job system, there exists a special job called Fighter.
Moreover, professions are only determined by the weapon one wields; a player is just a player, who can use rapier skills with a rapier and hammer skills with a hammer.
Once weapons are laid down, the unarmed skills of a fighter are naturally readily available.
And a vicious knee strike landed squarely on Heathcliff's lower abdomen, a place that should be quite vulnerable in the human body. However, in the game, the armor and the level of power made Heathcliff almost ignore this move. He used his shield to knock Lin Yan away and immediately closed in!
At this moment, the Dragon Crystal Sword fell from mid-air. Lin Yan leaped high, grabbed the sword, and landed behind Heathcliff.
That was a brilliant move; even Heathcliff was impressed.
On the stage, Asuna finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Yan grip the longsword again.
"That's quite a skill," Heathcliff couldn't help but praise. "After joining the Knights of the Blood Oath, future conquests will be even easier."
"Turtle shell."
Lin Yan's words were concise and to the point.
Those who see Heathcliff as a savior right now are all idiots. Lin Yan is certain that when they reach the crucial point, he will simply fake his death for his own twisted sense of humor.
Lin Yan unleashed a dozen or so consecutive slashes with his dragon crystal longsword, the speed increasing rapidly. Even Heathcliff looked puzzled, but despite this, the shield steadily parried all the attacks.
flaw!
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and as he shifted his body to the right, a sword pierced through from under the shield.
The sword should have struck Heathcliff squarely, but suddenly, a feeling of chaos and constraint washed over him.
That might not be entirely accurate; right now, the consciousness is controlling the game's body, and there's no heart at all.
But this feeling...
Is it administrator privileges that are strengthening Heathcliff's powers?
That's probably it. Several times, just when Lin Yan thought he was sure he could hit the target, the attack would still land on the shield in the end.
"Humph!"
Lin Yan continued to press the dragon crystal longsword forward, completely ignoring the knight's sword that was about to pierce him.
In this duel, the fight would be over once he struck Kayaba Akihiko first.
In the next instant, the tip of Kayaba Akihiko's sword seemed to leap through space.
It's not time travel, it's leaping.
Just moments ago it was more than a foot away, but now it's almost touching my neck.
With a single sword strike, Lin Yan returned to defense, showcasing his speed to its fullest potential.
He kicked the shield, and using the recoil, he flew backward before landing lightly.
"Good means."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heathcliff was startled.
Did they figure it out?
No, there isn't.
He confidently shook his head in his heart.
No one would doubt themselves without reason; in everyone's eyes, Kayaba Akihiko was indeed dead.
"Lin Yan, you are surprising me more and more."
Heathcliff's voice gradually lost its warmth.
Leap, then strike.
Their swords clashed again, and just as the shields were raised high, Lin Yan loosened his grip on the dragon crystal longsword.
Under the pull of gravity and the influence of the central advantage, the longsword rotated half a circle around Heathcliff's blade.
Heathcliff retreated to guard against Lin Yan's close-quarters combat, while Lin Yan grabbed the falling dragon crystal longsword with his other hand and plunged it into Heathcliff's thigh.
Falling Sword Technique.
Lin Yan couldn't remember which of his own he had learned this trick from, but he used visual illusions to obscure the position of the sword.
Although he knew how to use it, the situation in actual combat was too unpredictable.
The sword should have originally been used to pierce the lower abdomen.
As the sword tip pierced the armor and penetrated deep into the thigh, letters lit up above their heads.
The duel is over, the winner is: Lin Yan!
Lost?
Heathcliff looked at his stabbed thigh and fell into deep thought.
Even though I used the system, I still lost in the end.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan did not see any malice in Heathcliff's eyes. On the contrary, he saw a sense of relief, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin Yan!"
Asuna rushed down from the stands in surprise, feeling free again. Overwhelmed with joy, she jumped up and pounced on Lin Yan.
Releasing Asuna from the Knights of the Blood Oath doesn't prove anything. However, after Lin Yan's battle with Heathcliff, as his fame grew, the murderer's name also became increasingly well-known among the people.
murderer……
In a world where the strong rule, what does killing matter?
Lin Yan observed coldly. Anyway, once they came out, killing people in the Sword Art Online world wouldn't count as a crime in the real world, so there was nothing to worry about.
But who exactly started this story, and who was behind it all, is something Yi Jian really wants to think about and ponder.
enemy.
Without a doubt, it must be someone who dislikes and is hostile towards Lin Yan.
"The Smiling Coffin?"
He muttered to himself.
At Asuna's insistence, after the two finished the celebration banquet together, Lin Yan suddenly suggested that he go for a walk by himself.
Although Asuna was puzzled, she could roughly guess that Lin Yan was probably in a bad mood, considering the messages that suddenly appeared in various places this afternoon.
Instantly, a feeling of regret welled up in my heart.
If I hadn't used Lin Yan as a shield in the first place, things probably wouldn't have come to this.
Lin Yan... He arrived at his usual leveling spot, humming a little tune as he checked his experience points.
PK also grants experience, but the increase is not very high.
I'm still a bit short of level 75, but my health, attack, and burst damage are already top-tier.
With the boost from Saint Quartz, there are only a handful of characters in the entire game whose stats can consistently surpass yours.
This definitely includes Heathcliff and Asuna, and...
Those guys from the Smiling Coffin!
"Gentlemen, stop hiding. I never expected that Smiling Coffin has quite a few members in the Knights of the Blood Oath."
The power beyond the system granted Lin Yan extraordinary insight beyond the panel. He didn't see anyone approaching, nor did he hear any sound, but his intuition was absolutely certain that there were at least a dozen special data aggregates following behind him.
Lin Yan could even vaguely capture some of the information transmitted within these data aggregates. This feeling was not pleasant; anyone with a weaker mental capacity would likely feel dizzy and lightheaded from looking at them.
Behind me, only the rustling of the wind through the grass created a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, as if it were nurturing a fairy.
"Such unusual noises would not occur in the seventy-fifth level of the endless forest; the wind would never stir the grass."
Lin Yan drew the Dragon Crystal Longsword from his back, hesitated for a moment, then summoned another black two-handed sword before putting the Dragon Crystal Longsword back into his backpack.
The durability is insufficient.
It has to be said that Heathcliff's shield was incredibly tough. The Dragon Crystal Sword's durability was originally more than half left, but after one battle, a quarter of it was gone.
No wonder Kirito's Dark Chaser broke at the end.
"Hahaha, as expected of someone who can defeat the strongest man, Lin Yan, your existence is truly a pleasant surprise."
