"Team...Head..."
Asuna and the members of the'Blood Alliance Knights' panted lightly, looking at the red figure sitting on the throne, and still haven't recovered from the situation...
"You guy!"
Klein pointed at Heathcliff and screamed furiously. "Why does it appear here?..."
"What about the final boss?..." An unpleasant feeling flooded into Kirito's heart, making him look ugly, staring at Heathcliff, seeking his explanation, but only attracted There was a steady laughter, and Kirito's face became more and more ugly as he listened to that laughter.
Heathcliff stood up from the throne, did not hold his cross shield in his hand, so he empty-handed, looked around at everyone present, looked at their blank faces, and then, looked towards Expressionless and speechless.
"Yan Jun..." Heathcliff's lips twitched a smile, as if playfully, or something else. "You don't seem to be surprised..."
"No, you were wrong..." Silently smiled, shrugged, ignoring the bewildered expressions of the surrounding players, and turned his gaze to Heathcliff.
"I was really surprised when I heard that you were not there..."
"Oh?..." Heathcliff raised his brow and gradually narrowed his eyes. "But you don't seem to be surprised at all..."
"It's okay..." Silently turned sideways, and slowly walked forward under Asuna's nervous gaze.
"After all, if even I am surprised, who will defeat you..."
Hearing that, the faces of the surrounding players changed again, but Heathcliff smiled. He smiled lightly, and then laughed loudly. "Yan Jun, you really are not an ordinary person!"
Finished. Heathcliff reached out his hand and grabbed the cross shield with his sword, and walked off the throne. He walked towards the wordless, who also walked towards him, and said as he walked: "From the first time I met you, I have a feeling..."
"Finally, you can come to this huge floating city, the top red jade palace of'Aincrad', and you must be standing in front of me!"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about me..." Silently tossed the hem of his coat. He stopped five meters in front of Heathcliff and looked straight at the red figure.
"But my first impression of you is not so good..."
Heathcliff turned his head noncommittal, and stopped looking speechless. Instead, he looked at the players who hadn't reacted, and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you yet, everyone, congratulations on your climb to the top!"
"Heathcliff!" Kirito stared at Heathcliff with an unprecedented serious expression. "What the hell do you mean? What is called'my red jade palace'!"
"Why? Is it difficult to understand?" Heathcliff said with a sneer: "Indeed, people who have been fighting with themselves in the past suddenly appeared in front of me in this posture. Your performance is as I imagined. Same…"
"But, please trust your ears again, you didn't hear it wrong!" Heathcliff raised his head sharply, the expression on his face has lost the appearance of the shallow smile before. On the contrary, there are unspeakable grimness and evil.
"The Red Jade Palace is indeed mine. No, I can't say that. It should be said that the entire'Aincrad' is mine, and this world is mine. Everything here, including your current imaginary body, is I created it based on the real image scanned by your'nervgear' helmets!"
In a word, the air in the room immediately froze. Every player, including Kirito, Asuna and others, changed their faces. In their eyes, a trace of disbelief was accompanied by the changing face quietly. After emerging, some of the players started to lose their feet, stumbled and fell to the ground, their faces dull.
Heathcliff's words are already very obvious, and the only thing that can't be heard anymore is what he doesn't want to believe in his heart.
In'sao', it is qualified to say that the whole'Aincrad', and even the whole world is his own, including those who can be created by the creation of imaginary bodies. Besides one, there are others. ? …
Even if you don't want to believe it anymore, but now, Heathcliff, who should have inhabited the final boss's Red Jade Palace, is not enough to explain everything? …
Kirito took a breath of cold air, condensed a sound, and said slightly bitterly: "You are Kayaba Akihiko!"
Heathcliff chuckled softly and shook his head, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a cruel sentence dispelled the last bit of reverie in the hearts of all players.
"Kirito-kun, in'sao', asking about the real world is a ban. Although I created this world, I also want to follow the rules of this world, so here, let me call me Heathcliff! "
"Head..." Asuna covered her mouth and took a step back involuntarily. "you really are…"
Heathcliff did not answer any more, but said: "Originally, in my script, I wanted to disclose my true identity when you reached the 95th floor, and then came here. Waiting for you to come, but..."
Turning his head to look at the speechless who had been silent, the smile on Heathcliff's face disappeared, and he solemnly said: "Mr. Yan, your appearance made me dispel such an idea!"
"Oh? Is it possible that our master, the creator, would also be afraid of a player who is allowed to play with it?..." He looked at Heathcliff with a smile, only a shook of his head in exchange for Heathcliff.
"I just want to observe you up close for a while..." Heathcliff's eyes began to congeal. "After all, you are the only player who makes me think I didn't expect it!"
""I've been thinking about why you, as a player, can have strengths that far exceed those of players? …" Heathcliff shook his head again.
"In'sao', there is a limit to the player's development after all. This limit, even me, cannot be surpassed without a certain setting, so I designed a unique skill. It is the only one that can make the player. Existence whose strength exceeds the category of ordinary players!"
"I gave myself one of the unique skills, the "Holy Sword", and the other unique skill, "Two Swords", to the player with the strongest reaction ability. I will appear as the hero character who will eventually defeat the Demon King. This is what I originally belonged to. Script..."
"I have always believed that only a player with another unique skill can become an existence against me!" At this point, Heathcliff's tone suddenly became bitter. "But I was wrong, Jun Yan, you are an exception, an existence beyond my expectation. Even if you did not use the'Two Sword Style' in the ordinary state, you still have the strength to fight against me and even defeat me!"
"Did you know? Yan Jun..." Heathcliff cast his eyes on speechless. "I am not reconciled for the first time. I am really not reconciled anymore. As a player with unique skills, I don't have the confidence to defeat you who don't use unique skills..."
"So, Mr. Yan..." Heathcliff looked around and knocked the cross shield in his hand on the ground.
"Before the final battle, I want to fight you, a one-on-one duel!"
"Wha..." Asuna looked anxious. "Word…"
Silently raised her hand, stopped Asuna's speech, looked at Heathcliff, and smiled.
"Are you serious?" Silent eyes narrowed. "Looking at you, it seems that you don't want to use the administrator privileges. Come to a duel with me as a player. Do you think you will win?..."
"Indeed, I don't think that among the players, anyone can match you!" Heathcliff said simply and neatly: "So, although I am not going to use administrator rights, I will not use the identity of a general player. Fighting with you, no matter how you say I am the final boss, I will adjust my ability value to a value that the final boss should have!"
"How about? Jun Yan, do you have the confidence to face the guarding boss alone again?..."
