"Even...even Kirito-kun and Leafa-chan have lost?"
Asuna couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Her surprise is completely understandable.
Who are Kirito and Leafa
That's a real top player.
Needless to say, Kirito has already defeated Eugene, who was originally known as the strongest player in ALO. He is also second only to Luo Zhen among the masters of "Red Wings". Even Asuna dare not claim that. He can beat Kirito. Even after being taught by Luo Zhen this year, Asuna's skills have improved a lot, but Kirito has the same conditions and often learns new techniques from Luo Zhen. Strength is always improving.
Now, if there was a duel between Kirito and Asuna, Kirito would probably win seven out of ten duels, while Asuna would only win three.
This is still a case of good luck. If she is unlucky, Asuna may not even win a victory.
And Asuna is a rapier genius that even Luo Zhen admires, but this is the result against Kirito. One can imagine how strong Kirito is now.
As for Leafa, as Luo Zhen’s younger sister, she has of course absorbed a lot of Luo Zhen’s teachings, and her strength is much stronger than in the old ALO period. If Luo Zhen is not included, Leafa is now the strongest among the wind elves. The player once even tied with Eugene in the all-race martial arts competition held by "Red Wing" last month. They fought for nearly half an hour before finally losing to Eugene. His strength was equally impressive. It’s easy to imagine.
Nowadays, in ALO, players have recognized that Kirito and Leafa, the brother and sister, can be ranked among the top five in the entire server.
After SAO players settled in, the entire ALO has been reborn and has become more prosperous than the old ALO generation. Now, if they can rank among the top five in the entire server, they can all become ace cards of various races and highly respected by players.
Of course, Asuna is also at this level and is considered a player good enough to be ranked in the top five.
There are four masters in "Red Wing" who are strong enough to rank among the top five in the entire server. This is a major reason why the nine major races fear this guild.
Of course, Luo Zhen is the fourth.
However, Luo Zhen's evaluation is not the top five in the entire server, but the first in the entire ALO.
Because Luo Zhen once easily defeated Kirito, and even single-handedly fought a fierce battle with the defensive boss and won. Even Eugene was played by him and applauded. Asuna and Leafa even admitted that they were definitely not Luo Zhen's opponents. , the name of the strongest player has long been confirmed.
But even if they are not as good as Luo Zhen, Kirito and Leafa are still the best among the top players. They actually lost to a player who had just transferred from other games. Asuna couldn't help but be surprised.
"No... I can't help it. That person's movements are too fast. Even his normal attacks are about the same speed as sword skills. The naked eye can hardly keep up. I also managed to cut off 40% of the opponent's HP. This way very good already."
Leafa puffed up her cheeks, looking like she didn't want to admit defeat but had to.
"... That person is indeed very strong."
Kirito just said this very seriously.
"So awesome."
Asuna finally believed this and sighed.
"Then he is so powerful, no one wants to challenge him now, right?"
Luo Zhen said this thoughtfully.
Different from ordinary conference activities, if you die in a duel, even if no props are dropped, a lot of experience points will still be deducted.
As a result, no one should be willing to challenge that player.
However...
"In fact, it's just the opposite. Even now, there is an endless stream of challengers, and there are many masters of various races among them, right?"
Liz denied Luo Zhen's guess.
"Why?"
Asuna said in shock.
Actually, the answer is simple.
"The other party has already said that as long as you can beat him, you can get the bet."
Silica seemed to have remembered the bet, with a look of amazement on her face.
Even Kirito couldn't help but admire him.
"Don't be surprised after hearing this."
Kirito curled up the corners of his mouth and said.
“The bet she proposed was not equipment, props, or money, but an original sword skill of the special-kill level—.
Hearing this, not to mention Asuna, even Luo Zhen raised their eyebrows again.
——〈OSS〉.
The official name is——〈inal Sword Skill〉.
This is a system.
A system introduced by the official, as Kirito said, that can create original sword skills.
When the old ALO incident ended and "The Seed" handed over to Luo Zhen by Kayaba Akihiko also appeared on the market and the new ALO was reborn, the official imported the original SAO files.
Thanks to this, players of the original SAO can choose to inherit the files from the SAO era in the new ALO, allowing the characters from the SAO era to be reborn. At the same time, many SAO elements have appeared in the new ALO through revisions.
For example, the emergence of the new Aincrad.
Another example is the emergence of the guild system.
There is also the most important system, which is sword skills.
Today's ALO has SAO's sword skill system, which allows players to use the sword skills in SAO, making ALO's fighting methods more diverse, and it can even be called a revolutionary change.
In the past, in ALO, players could only use magic to produce powerful damage and gorgeous sound and light effects. In terms of close combat, it all depended on the player's own skills. There were no sword skills. In addition, magic has innate abilities. Problems such as range advantage and hit advantage make it difficult to focus solely on physical attacks when allocating points.
However, after the emergence of sword skills, a balance was achieved between magic skills and physical skills, so that players no longer just enjoyed improving magic skills and using magic to fight, but many experts in close combat appeared. In addition, Close combat combined with aerial combat is far more advanced and powerful than continuously blasting magic from a long range. Many players have become obsessed with sword skills, and masters who specialize in sword skills continue to appear.
However, the operators also believe that it would not be a good thing to simply transfer the sword skill system from SAO.
There are many former SAO players in the new ALO. They are very familiar with the sword skill system and even more familiar with the use of various sword skills. If left alone, it is likely to cause unfair problems.
Therefore, after discussions, the officials decided to develop and introduce new elements.
That is the emergence of the original sword skill system 〈inal Sword Skill〉, referred to as 〈OSS〉.
It is not an established sword skill with all actions pre-set by the system, but a system that encourages players to create their own actions and register tricks to create new sword skills.
After the introduction of this system, many players wanted to obtain their own unique and handsome sword skills. As a result, players can often be seen on the streets or in the fields rushing to pose with weapons and try to create sword skills.
However, original sword skills are actually not simple.
