There was even an unwritten rule among the many guilds that formed strategy groups before.

That is, if the floor boss is defeated by that guild, that guild will be given priority in developing the next floor and have the power to establish the guild headquarters on that floor.

Although this rule sounds quite unfair to ordinary players, ordinary players naturally have to make some appropriate sacrifices while enjoying being carried away.

Moreover, such regulations can also further stimulate the fighting spirit of the players in the strategy group.

After all, if there is no benefit, who would rush to fight on the front line?

You have to know that the current SAO is a real death game. If you are not careful, people will really die!

For a lone player like Seiya who is both powerful and famous, there are actually many guilds trying to win him over, not just the "Blood Alliance Knights".

The Holy Dragon United Guild, which was previously ranked second, and even Klein's Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain, had actually invited him many times, but he rejected them all.

Of course, Seiya was also very clear that if the guilds such as the "Holy Dragon Alliance" were trying to win him over just to increase the combat power of their own guilds, then the purpose of Heathcliff, the president of the "Blood Alliance Knights" guild, who had tried to win him over many times, was somewhat intriguing.

Others may not know, but Seiya knows very well that Heathcliff, the president of the Knights of the Blood, is actually Kayaba Akihiko.

Other guilds are worried about insufficient combat power, but Kayaba Akihiko has a GM account and can use all kinds of plug-ins at will. Is he also worried about insufficient combat power?

“President Heathcliff also said that he really wanted to see your unique skills and wanted to have a fair duel with you.

If you win, he can agree to any conditions you want, but if you lose, you will have to join our Blood Knights."

After hearing what Asuna said, Seiya understood.

Heathcliff's intention to invite me to join the Knights of the Blood was fake, and his real intention was to find out about my true strength, right?

After all, Kayaba Akihiko at least knew about Kirito's unique skill "Dual Sword Style".

But Kayaba Akihiko probably knew nothing about his own unique skill, the 『Shikigami Sword』, which he made up casually.

As the game GM, the reason why Kayaba Akihiko used the pseudonym Heathcliff and joined the players was, on the one hand, that he wanted to experience the joy of playing the game himself, and on the other hand, wasn't it also to better observe the players?

In fact, as early as the 50th floor, Seiya had thought about whether he should directly expose Kayaba Akihiko's true identity and end this death game early.

However, after some hesitation, he finally chose not to do so.

The reason is very simple. Seiya is not the son of the world and does not have a halo. God knows whether the other party will appreciate him or be angry and embarrassed after he exposes Kayaba Akihiko's identity.

If it was the former, it would be fine. At least he got the same chance of a fair duel as Kirito.

But if it was the latter, Kayaba Akihiko would be so angry and embarrassed that no matter how powerful Seiya was, he would be unable to do anything to the other party.

That’s right, Seiya does have cheats, but in the world of SAO, Kayaba Akihiko is the cheat itself.

If his undead attribute as a GM is not lifted, his health bar will not drop below 50%.

This is a system setting issue and has nothing to do with strength. Even if Seiya is so awesome, he can't compete with a GM who can modify the program in the game, right?

However, as a time traveler, Seiya is also very clear that although Kayaba Akihiko is cold-blooded, he is quite trustworthy in his promises.

If I really defeat him in a fair duel, can I use the conditions he agrees to and end this death game early?

With Kulibo's magical skill "Nullify Damage", Seiya is not afraid of death, so after hesitating for less than a moment, Seiya looked at Asuna beside him and said, "Help me tell Heathcliff that I've accepted his bet!"

Before the meeting on the 75th floor boss strategy began, news spread throughout SAO that Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Knights, and the "Saint" were about to prepare for a fair duel.

Whether it is Heathcliff or Seiya, they are undoubtedly celebrities in SAO.

Needless to say, Heathcliff has always been known as the strongest player in SAO. So far, not only monsters but also many players have challenged Heathcliff.

But relying on the unique skill "Holy Sword", these famous players who took on the challenge could not defeat Heathcliff, and most of them could not even force his HP value into the yellow zone.

As for the "Saint" Seiya, his record is not as brilliant as Heathcliff's.

But players in SAO also know that Seiya is also one of the top players in the entire SAO, and is also one of only three players in the entire SAO who master unique skills.

That's right, the exposure of Seiya's "Shikigami Sword" was intentional, and Kirito knew that Seiya and Heathcliff also mastered unique skills, and knew that he was not special, so he did not conceal the existence of "Dual Sword Style".

Heathcliff is very powerful, but Seiya, who is one of only three people with unique skills, should not be underestimated.

So when the news that Heathcliff and Seiya were preparing to duel spread, the entire SAO exploded.

The duel venue agreed upon by both parties was the Dragon's Nest on the west mountain on the north side of the 55th floor.

And because of this battle between the two, a large number of high-level players gathered in this area early in the morning.

"Lizbeth, I didn't expect you to follow others and join in the fun. I remember we were here last time and almost became food for the ice dragon."

Kirito, who heard that Seiya was going to duel with Heathcliff, came to the Dragon's Nest with Sachi as soon as possible today. However, he did not expect to run into familiar faces such as Agil and Lisbeth as soon as he arrived.

Lisbeth is a pink-haired girl who runs a blacksmith shop on Linda Street, the main street on the 48th floor.

Because of her superb craftsmanship, Seiya, Kirito and others often patronize her business.

At that time, in order to forge his second one-handed sword "Dark Chaser", Kirito also came to this "Dragon's Nest" with the girl to collect forging materials.

"Kirito-kun, long time no see. Is the Dark Repulser still working smoothly?"

Lisbeth greeted Kirito happily, while looking at Xing beside Kirito with a provocative look.

That's right, ever since the last time she met with disaster in Dragon's Nest, Lisbeth fell in love with Kirito at first sight.

And Yuki is not Asuna, and they are still related. Lisbeth fell in love with Kirito, but Kirito and Yuki have not yet confirmed their relationship, so Lisbeth has always regarded Yuki as a love rival.

Even if Kirito and Xing are in a relationship now, so what? This is just a game anyway, and Lisbeth still has a great chance.
