The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 43 is over! (Please read on!)

“Fight me one-on-one here now.

Don't worry, I will remove the immortal attribute.

If you can beat me, the game will be cleared and all players can exit the game world immediately. What do you think?"

Before Li Xia could answer, Wang Teng's three best friends, Xia Zhijin, Asuna, and all the members of the guild spoke up to stop him:
"No, Brother Xia (Team Leader)! We should retreat now and make long-term plans!"

Wang Teng and his companions knew that the exclusive gaming helmets could not absolutely prevent death.

Because if the game character dies, the main body will also die.

Might be killed by a dedicated gaming helmet!
It is more likely to be wiped out by the rules of the secret realm!

It turned out that the exclusive game helmet rewarded by the hidden mission 3 only allowed Li Xia to half-step out of Kayaba Akihiko's trap, allowing him to log in and out freely. However, it could not completely avoid the backlash of the rules when the game character was killed.

"Brother Xia, don't take risks..."

"Yes, Captain Li Xia, let's take a long-term view and not sacrifice in vain..."

Other members of the strategy team also tried to dissuade him.

Now that everyone knows that the opponent is Kayaba Akihiko, we certainly cannot simply look at the problem from the perspective of the level, equipment, and attributes of the game character.

Even though Li Xia's level is one level higher than Kayaba's character and their equipment seem to be similar, who knows what tricks GM Kayaba has hidden.

It's too risky to fight alone.

It is better to go up together when we reach the 100th floor.

But after Li Xia put Xia Zhijin and Asuna away, he stood up and equipped two swords directly:

"Mr. Kayaba, does what you said count?"

Eyes facing each other.

Kayaba Akihiko laughed heartily:
"Of course it counts."

As he spoke, he had already revoked his immortality.

And the system's acceleration and other assistance were removed.

"summer…"

The two girls' eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

"Trust me, it's okay..."

He gently tapped the two girls' brows.

By the way, I comforted a few brothers.

Li Xia then took a deep breath:

"Let's get this over with."

...

Two figures faced each other.

On one side, he held a sword in one hand and a large silver shield in the other.

The other side held two swords in hand.

The latter suddenly shot out like lightning and attacked another figure.

Li Xia knew that relying solely on the dual-sword style awarded by the system would be tantamount to seeking death.

The male protagonist of the original work, Kirito, gave the answer.

If it weren't for Kirito's protagonist halo, Kayaba Akihiko wouldn't have been hurt at all, let alone defeated.

With the sword skills he had learned combined with the critical hit boost from his attack, he could cause some trouble to the opponent.

But it's still not enough.

The main reason was that ninjutsu such as the instant body technique could not be used here. Lacking the matching ninjutsu to match the swordsmanship, the Konoha-style swordsmanship he had learned from his father and practiced for more than a year could not exert its expected lethality.

"Since it's difficult to avoid the damage caused by Kayaba's silver cross shield with a strength of more than 50, then let's not avoid it."

"In this case, I only have one best option."

"And I only have one chance."

During a round of offensive.

Li Xia moved at a speed of over a thousand meters in thirty seconds, bringing his own attributes and speed to the extreme, and swung at least 30 times with both swords.

The strong wind blew up dust and smoke on the ground.

But Kayaba Akihiko did not allow his body to suffer even a scratch.

The defense is airtight.

"Ding ding ding..."

One is all about attacking, the other is all about defending.

One of them couldn't stop at all, and the other couldn't stop either; making a watertight defense seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't find any chance to fight back.

"Amazing."

Kayaba was truly shocked.

This was the first time the two sides had fought each other, and the opponent knew nothing about him, but he had secretly studied the boy on the other side, and thus knew a lot about him. In addition, to be safe, he secretly raised his attributes and skill proficiency in all aspects to a new level that exceeded the opponent's, which was a small act of cheating.

However, even so, he was surprised to find that his use of various attributes and powers was far inferior to that of the young man who swung the sword at him.

Although his account only has 95 points of strength and agility, it truly demonstrates the characteristics of 95 points.

However, his account's attributes were clearly 100 points each, but it seemed to only perform at the level of 94 points.

If he hadn't been superior in every aspect, if the shield in his hand hadn't made him invincible, he would have probably been defeated by the rain of attacks by now!
"Ding ding ding..."

Li Xia's offensive continued.

The body shape is constantly changing, and it is difficult to predict the position for counterattack.

"This Xia Jun not only didn't use his dual-wielding skills, but also used strange steps to always interfere with my judgment and disrupt my rhythm. It turned out to be so difficult..."

Just when Kayaba Akihiko was feeling depressed, the attack in front of the shield suddenly slowed down a bit.

A very subtle change in rhythm.

But he, a top player, still caught it.

"I was like, how can there be such an unreasonable player?"

Opportunity! Move the shield and thrust the sword...

Holy Sword!
Then, it pierced Li Xia's chest directly!

"how is this possible?"

"That's impossible..."

Not to mention that Wang Teng and others thought they were seeing things, even Kayaba Akihiko, the person involved, didn't believe it.

He could have easily dodged this sword attack. At most he would have been slightly scratched by the sword in the process.

You shouldn't have been pierced in the chest anyway.

But what did he see?
Not only did Li Xia not dodge, but he took the initiative to crash into his right sword!

Then, something even more shocking happened: Li Xia, who was basically dead after being pierced through the chest by a sword, actually thrust the two top-level swords in his hands, the Elucidator and the Light Chaser, into his chest before he died!
"Puff, puff, puff..."

perish together?

Kayaba Akihiko's pupils widened.

"That's right. Even if I use up all the durability of the two swords in my hands, I can't wear down your silver cross shield. In other words, if you only defend and don't attack, you will be invincible. In this case, I can only lure you to attack and then exchange my life..."

Dual swords + critical hit, the damage is also overflowing!

"Exchange of lives? Exchange of lives?
Hahahaha…what a crazy idea.

But that’s fine too.

It’s finally over…”

There seemed to be a hint of relief in Kayaba Akihiko's voice.

The whole place was instantly silent.

"Student Li Xia?
No, this is not true.

Why is this happening?

No, no, no, don’t…”

Xia Zhijin shook his head, then used all his strength to resist the paralyzing effect of the system and sat up. Then he staggered towards the place where Li Xia was turning into light and dissipating.

My eyes gradually filled with tears.

"From childhood to adulthood, I finally found someone other than my mother who was willing to care for me and take care of me...

I swore to myself that I would protect you from now on...

No, don’t leave me…”

She felt that her heart suddenly became empty.

It's as if a large area of ​​it had been dug out by someone.

"Xia, Xia brother..."

"Captain..."

Wang Teng, Asuna and the others also resisted the system's mass paralysis with red eyes, and stumbled towards this side.

Hearing the voice, Li Xia looked back and smiled.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could utter two words, his figure and Kayaba Akihiko exploded into a large spot of light and floated out of the floor, floated into the sky, and floated to the distant SAO game world.

His little pet familiar also exploded into a ball of light with a scream.

"Do not…"

Many people stretched out their hands to grab something, but they could do nothing.

Their game characters' bodies began to glow.

"pat..."

The girl fell to the ground, and when she looked up she was already crying:

"Student Li Xia, wuwuwu, I sprained my ankle. Can you come back and carry me on your back?"

...

At the same time.

Outside the boss's room.

“In 2024…

June 6rd at 3:15…

The game is complete.

The game is cleared!"

This voice can be heard in every floor, every city, and every wilderness of the entire SAO game world!

All the players, whether they are idle or busy, are shrouded in halos.

Their consciousness is gradually detaching from this game world.

This is a forced logout!
"No, I don't want to leave..."

The girl wanted to stop this forced logout process, but she found that no matter how hard she resisted, she could not refuse or reverse it.

Outside the hospital, she opened her eyes in panic. They were already white, and both sides of her cheeks were covered with hideous blue veins.

And in the depths of the pupils there seemed to be a faint blue halo flashing by.

"Brother Xia..."

“That’s absolutely not true…”

"How could this happen?"

Wang Teng, Yang Jie and the other two, who were also glowing, stared blankly at the place where Li Xia disappeared, their eyes frighteningly red.

When their consciousness returned to the outside hospital, their eyes were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.

Another hospital.

Asuna woke up with tears on her face, and despite her weak body, she stumbled out of the room and went straight to inquire about someone's room number.

She wanted to meet the boy who would not hesitate any longer and would express her true feelings no matter what.
