Planting the World Tree From Pirates

Center of the arena.

When Makino and Heathcliff appeared, the cheers at the scene suddenly reached an unprecedented cheer.

Heathcliff and Makino are no strangers, and they have met many times during floor raids.

However, it was the first time that they faced each other at such a close distance.

In the past, Heathcliff usually wore the uniform of the Knights of the Blood with a white background and a red pattern, but now he is wearing the completely opposite red bottom short coat, with almost no protective gear on his body.

Obviously, for this battle, Heathcliff is quite confident.

Of course, as an insider, Makino naturally understands the source of Heathcliff's confidence.

Even so, the huge pure white cross shield Heathcliff held in his left hand was particularly eye-catching.

The huge pure white cross shield, plus the sword tucked into the inside of the shield, has become a signature configuration of Heathcliff.

Just as Makino looked at Heathcliff, Heathcliff walked up to Muye with ease, looked at the enthusiastic audience around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry Muye, I didn't know it would become like this."

Heathcliff was unexpectedly polite, but Makino knew he probably thought of him as a slightly funny toy.

However, Makino didn't care.

"It's okay. It's a little troublesome, but it's not bad to be able to beat you under such public attention."

Heathcliff couldn't help but glance at Muye and said, "It's not a good thing to be overconfident, Muye, although you have obtained the special sword skill [Unparalleled Sword], I am also a user of the special sword skill [Sacred Sword]!"

Muye slowly pulled out the dark holy sword behind his back and said with a smile, "Heathcliff, you have never been a swordsman...but I am!"

Heathcliff was surprised, his eyes sharpened.

Makino's statement is quite interesting.

You must know that all the sword skills in SAO were designed by him!

However, Makino thinks that he is not a swordsman, which is quite a unique statement.

Heathcliff withdrew his smile, his brass-colored pupils emitting an overwhelming aura.

This is Heathcliff's arrogance and murderous intent as the creator and control of all life and death in the entire world.

but.

Heathcliff quickly discovered that even in the face of his murderous intent, Makino still behaved calmly.

This is very interesting, and Heathcliff is a little excited after a long absence.

Heathcliff stepped back about ten meters, then raised his right hand and manipulated the menu without looking at the window at all.

At the same time, a duel message appeared in front of Makino, and the setting was to choose the first-hit win-lose mode, and Makino chose "confirm" without hesitation.

The pop-up window for the countdown to the duel appeared, and the hearts of everyone at the scene tightened at the same time, and the cheers like a tsunami stopped immediately.

Not only that, the world seems to have become quiet, except for the crisp countdown sound.

Makino's blood flow gradually accelerated, but his heart was still as calm as water, but he naturally assumed a mid-section posture.

but.

It was just such a mid-section posture, but Heathcliff found that Makino in front of him had changed.

It seems that the whole body is full of flaws, but it seems to be completely natural and impeccable.

This is......

Heathcliff's emphasis on Makino has once again raised several grades.

Muye's posture reminded him of the descriptions of the "Jianhao" realm in some books he had read when he designed his sword skills.

No wonder Makino calls himself a swordsman, but says he is not a real swordsman... Interesting!

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

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

In this regard, Makino did not underestimate it, and immediately had a scruple in his heart.

Heathcliff's [Holy Sword] is both offensive and defensive, with almost no weaknesses, but how can there be no weaknesses in this world?

As for not being able to observe, it is just that the realm is not enough.

The countdown passed by one minute and one second, although neither of them looked at the window, but when the text [DUEL] appeared, they both rushed out at the same time.

The speed of the two is really too fast. In the eyes of everyone, the figures of the two seem to disappear on the ground at the same time. When everyone finds the figures of the two again, they find that Muye and Heathcliff have already disappeared. After crossing the distance of the confrontation, they almost collided.

As for the two behind them, a splendid annular light effect was left behind.

Seeing Makino's attack, Heathcliff showed a playful smile on his face.

If Muye's attack was just like that, it would be a big disappointment to him.

The shield in Heathcliff's left hand passed the judgment. The huge cross shield, swaying with white effect light, like a broad sword, directly blocked the front of Makino's dark holy sword.

As for Heathcliff's right hand, the slender sword was also ready to attack at any time.

But at this moment, Heathcliff suddenly discovered that the Makino in front of him had changed.

Not only Heathcliff, but even all the audience noticed immediately that the sword in Makino's hand had a light effect similar to flowing water.

"Breath of Water·Three Type·Liu Liu Dancing!"

In an instant, everyone was surprised to find that there were several afterimages of Muye on the ground.

As for the trajectories in series between each figure, it perfectly forms a meandering river.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Not to mention all the players watching, even Heathcliff was slightly taken aback.

Because Muye's way of moving is so weird, it doesn't look like it could be created by players.

It's like it was specially created to face the extremely harsh combat environment!

Although Makino's movement trajectory was somewhat beyond Heathcliff's expectations.

However, Heathcliff is the master of this floating castle. Perception, agility, and reactions are all beings that stand on top of the world.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just as Makino danced through the stream, circled behind Heathcliff and launched a sharp attack, Heathcliff immediately used the rapier in his right hand.

The speed of Makino's attack was so fast that Heathcliff couldn't even turn around.

Therefore, Heathcliff directly put the sword behind him in the posture of "King Qin holding the sword", which is the "sinking" posture in Japanese kendo.

Keng~~~~ZizzZZZ~~~~

The dark holy sword in Makino's hand collided directly with the thin sword in Heathcliff's hand, colliding with a lot of sparks.

[sharp! ]

Heathcliff made no secret of his admiration. To be honest, Makino's unique attack completely exceeded his expectations.

However, Heathcliff's movements were not slow at all. While blocking the slash of Makino's dark holy sword with his right hand sword, he also used the power of Makino's slash to widen the distance between him and Makino.

The biggest advantage of the Heathcliff Sacred Sword is the combined attack of the sword and the shield, which is actually somewhat similar to the second sword style.

Naturally, he would not give Muye another chance to attack him!

However, the more Heathcliff did, the more Makino would not let Heathcliff achieve his goal.

Makino's figure was entwined again like flowing water, and Heathcliff's eyes were firmly locked on Makino's figure.

Not only that, his body is still being fine-tuned at all times, always facing the possible side and rear attacks of Makino.

So, there was a very strange scene at the duel scene.

On the field, there are meandering waters and afterimages of Makino.

Heathcliff's figure, on the other hand, was deeply immersed in the "water vortex" formed by the meandering water flow.

what is this?

The duel at the scene is really beyond everyone's imagination!

Not to mention ordinary players, even top players like Kirito and Asuna were a little confused.

They did not expect that such a decisive battle would turn out like this.

Can you imagine that the decisive battle between the two top masters is always shifting and changing positions, and even collisions are pitiful?

Of course, Asuna, who had seen the effect of Makino's [Unparalleled Sword], was in a different mood.

Because the last time, in front of Asuna, Makino showed an effect similar to the coming of the god of fire.

[Is Makino's mood like flowing water at this time? ]

Asuna was thoughtful, no doubt more curious about Makino.

"Moved."

At this moment, the eyes of Kirito who were watching the battle lit up, and the others who knew what to do held their breath at the same time.

It seems that their shortness of breath will affect the result of such a peak match.

Heathcliff can naturally perceive things that Kirito Asuna can understand as an outsider.

At the moment when Makino moved, Heathcliff's body also shifted at the same time, so that the rear side that Makino attacked was no longer the rear side.

The combination of sacred sword and shield is unparalleled. As long as Heathcliff seizes an opportunity, the next is a stormy attack.

but.

The moving Makino, the breathing rhythm in his mouth changed instantly.

And Muye's figure also seemed to have changed from the water god to the fire god descending from the Nine Heavens in one second.

"This is?"

Heathcliff was shocked.

It was this momentary change of fire and water that caught Heathcliff a little off guard.

As Heathcliff standing on the top of the world, his perception ability is naturally the top.

But at this moment, there were too many afterimages of Makino in front of Heathcliff.

There are so many that Heathcliff doesn't know for a while, which one is the real Makino?

How could this be?

Heathcliff couldn't understand!

And this is precisely the effect that Makino deliberately created!

Because, this trick is exactly the "Spirit of the Sun, Magic Sun Rainbow" in the breath of the sun.

The characteristic of the magic sun rainbow is the specialized dance that uses high-speed twisting and turning to move at high speed.

Its most notable feature is that the better the eyesight, the easier it is to capture the afterimages left by Makino.

And this design is specifically aimed at "ghosts", which are species that are higher than humans at the level of life.

It's the same sentence, if mortals want to defeat evil spirits, they must incarnate as Shura.

The battle between Makino and Heathcliff, however, coincides with this essence.

[So fast. ]

All these changes were so sudden that Heathcliff was caught off guard.

He couldn't even understand how humans could practice such extreme and alternative sword skills.

Heathcliff was not at all surprised even if there were special effects similar to water flow and flames on Makino.

Because, this is exactly the attack mood floating mechanism of [Wu Shuang Sword].

However, Makino's attack was completely beyond Heathcliff's imagination.

seems...seems...

This is a sword skill that should not exist in this peaceful world at all!

It's all in the blink of an eye, and Heathcliff doesn't want to lose.

So, at this moment, the world began to twist.

Muye felt the sudden change for the first time, which was an extremely strange feeling, and Muye couldn't even think of an adjective to describe it.

It's like time has been stolen!

boom!

Mu Ye's thoughts moved, and a soft silver-white light appeared directly on his body.

It is the [Mind Skill] that is exclusive to Makino to activate!

At the moment when this Intention Skill was activated, Muye felt that the time that had been stolen from his body began to work again.

This time, Heathcliff was taken aback.

He originally planned to use the power of [Extreme Assist] to move his shield that was supposed to be on the right, like a VCR, and instantly move it to the left, to bounce the fatal blow of Makino away.

However, Heathcliff suddenly discovered that the few tenths of a second he stole seemed to have been taken back in half.

What he wanted to do by stealing... can't be done!

At the critical moment, Heathcliff could only temporarily change his plan, and the rapier in his right hand blocked Makino's sword.

At the moment when time returned to normal, the dark holy sword burning in Makino's hand instantly collided with Heathcliff's sword.

The collision was so ferocious that with Makino and Heathcliff at the center, a large amount of airflow swept all around.

This time, the collision was so powerful that it gave people the illusion that the entire arena was shaken because of the decisive battle between Makino and Heathcliff.

too exaggerated!

Is this the strength of Makino, the leader of the Wings of Freedom, and Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood?

Around the arena, all the players were speechless.

Asuna, who has always been called "Flash", found that she couldn't catch the trajectory of Makino and Heathcliff's swords with her naked eyes.

As for Kirito, who also mastered the special sword skill [Two Swordsmanship], shock was also written in his eyes at this time.

Is this the strength of Makino and Heathcliff?

sharp!

In Kirito's mind, he couldn't help but recall the scenes when he and Makino teamed up to attack.

In particular, when Makino said that he had obtained the "Exemption from all Biography" in reality, it deeply shocked Kirito.

In the past, Kirito still felt that Makino, the great swordsman, was not too far behind him.

But now, Kirito understands.

This gap is really not that big!

All of this was just between lightning and flint. In the arena, Makino and Heathcliff resumed their confrontation again.

This time, Heathcliff looked at Makino deeply, and there was no more playful look in his eyes, instead, he was cautious and probing.

[Extreme Auxiliary] power is paramount, and in Heathcliff's view, it is somewhat similar to "dimension reduction strike".

How can NPC resist the attack of the creator (programmer)?

However, now it happens.

Is it a bug, or what he hoped...beyond?

Heathcliff didn't know, but while being cautious, his eyes slowly became hot again.

This is the first time Heathcliff has shown such an expression since he started this death game!

"Really beautiful swordsmanship, it's like surpassing all the swordsmanship genres in the world!"

Hearing Heathcliff's praise, Makino smiled.

"You can call me... Makino Yachiryu!"

"Eight thousand styles? Master eight thousand styles of swordsmanship?"

"That's right, but there is no reward."

"You're the most arrogant guy I've ever seen, but I like it!"

Heathcliff said, swept like a fly, and attacked Muye.

This time, Heathcliff took the lead in launching the attack, and the center of gravity of the attack was unexpectedly low.

This is absolutely maddening in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, in Heathcliff's hands, it is very handy.

I have to say, Heathcliff is a super genius.

In the short period of time he fought against Muye, he had already found a strange way of attacking that Muye always attacked from his side or behind.

The idea is actually very simple... turn defense into offense!

However, to be able to reverse his mind in such a short period of time is a kind of genius.

Because Heathcliff has never been known for fighting, he is a quantum physicist and game designer!

It has to be said that Kayaba Akihiko's change of thinking in the duel has caused considerable trouble to Makino.

Under the attack of the sword and shield combination, there was even a feeling of an army attacking and rushing forward, giving Muye a feeling of facing a "mobile fortress".

However, Makino's combat strategy has already been set, so how could Kayaba Akihiko lead him by the nose?

Makino's figure flickered, and once again displayed the movement method of the sword skill [Phantom Sun Rainbow].

More than a dozen afterimages of Makino appeared in the field in an instant!

Despite seeing it for the second time, Heathcliff was still deeply shocked.

This type of afterimage technique is really amazing.

However, Heathcliff was unmoved this time, the attack of the [Holy Sword] was not chaotic at all, even orderly, just like an iron wall besieging a city, constantly compressing Muye's living space.

The arena is so big, the more areas he occupies, the less space Muye can move.

As long as Makino is in close contact with him, the rhythm of the battle falls directly into his hands.

That's right!

Heathcliff is taking advantage of the terrain!

Heathcliff could never have imagined this before the battle, but he actually began to consider these factors.

Makino's performance has long exceeded Heathcliff's imagination.

But at this moment, Heathcliff felt Makino in front of him again, and his momentum changed.

"Breath of the Sun, Dragon of the One-Shaped Sun Halo, Head Dance!"

It was too late, but it was fast, Muye's body was like a fire dragon, and the sword in his hand was slashing at high speed like a flying dragon.

[This is Makino's attack method? ]

Heathcliff was shocked. His plan to besiege the city was to force Muye to confront him head-on.

However, what he didn't expect was that while Muye moved fast and was good at agile and sneak attacks, his ability to attack from the front was so powerful that he was abnormal.

How did Mu Ye, this evil swordsman, develop his sword skills?

Obviously, every action is contained in the sword skill action he designed, but when it is released by Makino's hand, the charm is completely different.

Klang, clang, clang, clang!

Both Makino and Heathcliff simultaneously performed high-speed combos that were beyond imagination, and their swords and shields kept colliding with each other.

And all of this is even like a show, like a performance, rather than a life-and-death confrontation.

All of this deeply shocked everyone present, and also changed everyone's impression of Muye.

Previously, all of Makino's attacks had been through high-speed displacement and then a sudden attack, in a manner similar to assassination.

If you miss a hit, you will travel thousands of miles away.

This is of course amazing, but it also gave everyone a wrong impression - Muye is not good at attacking from the front!

However, now this extremely gorgeous frontal collision hit everyone in the face.

Where is Makino not good at frontal attack?

He just doesn't want to, not can't!

Makino's sword skills were blocked by Heathcliff's shield, and Heathcliff's sword was deflected by Makino's sword.

The speed of the sword was too fast, and everyone could not even catch the trajectory of the sword.

All you can see is that light of various colors is constantly scattered around the two people, and the impact sound penetrates the slate floor of the entire arena.

Each other's small attacks occasionally hit each other, and the HP of the two of them began to decrease little by little.

Even if you don't get hit by a heavy attack, as long as one side's HP bar is less than half, the other person wins.

But how proud are Makino and Heathcliff?

Neither of the two ever thought of winning by this "grinding" method.

In the world of Sword Art Online, no matter how you count it, it can only be considered low-level.

The battles that Makino has experienced are incomparable.

However, because of the normalization assessment, Muye's various abilities were all banned and greatly restricted.

But also because of this, Makino once again reap the unprecedented thrill of battle.

It was a feeling similar to "acceleration", as if the whole world had slowed down except for the sword.

At the same time, every time you feel that your perception is improved by one level, the attack speed will also increase accordingly.

Haven't reached the limit yet.

Could be faster.

The coordination and switching between sword skills can be a little more natural.

At this moment, Makino's whole body was surrounded by the joy of freeing all his strength to swing his sword.

I think I should have a smile on my face. As the battle between swords, lights, swords and shadows became more and more intense, the HP bars on both sides continued to decrease, and finally reached the level of about 50% remaining.

In the next moment, Heathcliff, who had been expressionless for a long time, suddenly flashed a look of emotion on his face. what happened to him. Are you getting impatient? I can feel the enemy's attack rhythm gradually slowing down.
