"Qiang!"
The sound of steel clashing with steel could be heard clearly all around.
The two Tachibana-named rapier wielders were just like the warriors who appeared in various legends and novels. They kept waving their weapons in their hands and engaged in fierce battles, letting the sounds of the clashes turn into sweet notes that echoed in all directions.
Seeing such a scene, the players who had just been regarded as prey reacted.
"No... no matter what, let's go up and help first!"
"That female player is the one who was rumored before. Isn't she the Tachibana who attacked us?"
"But it's also possible that both of them are actually criminals who will attack players!"
"So, surround those two people and stop them from talking!"
Each player seemed to have made a decision and was ready to step forward.
However…
"Don't move!"
Luo Zhen stood in front of the battlefield where the two rapier wielders were fighting, and stopped all the players who were about to step forward.
"It has nothing to do with you here, just watch from the sidelines."
Luo Zhen couldn't help but give such instructions, and his eyes were sharper than ever before.
"Woo!"
The rainbow butterfly also flew in front of Luo Zhen, flapping its wings and sprinkling phosphorus powder, as if everyone would rush forward unceremoniously if they took another step forward.
I have to say that Luo Zhen's performance really shocked those players.
Even though he usually looks lazy and careless, Luo Zhen is known as the strongest and most outstanding master. He has even used and commanded various heroes in myths and legends, and has long been invisibly increased. Has a lot of leadership qualities.
Under such circumstances, a group of ordinary players, even the top group members in this world, are still ordinary people. How can they be free under the intimidation of Luo Zhen
Therefore, all the players froze there, no longer daring to move.
Luo Zhen then turned his gaze again and looked at the center of the battlefield.
Although it was a fierce battle before his eyes, the situation was almost one-sided.
From a technical point of view, Asuna is almost impeccable. Even if she does not use sword skills, she does not panic because of this. The rapier in her hand frequently flashes through tracks under the blessing of inhuman speed, and the incoming enemy will be attacked. The attacks were blocked again and again, avoiding a large loss of HP.
Compared with Asuna, the rapier user's ability was quite good, but whether it was the completion of the sword skills, the neatness of the movements, or the stability and direction of the steps, they were still far behind Asuna.
In this way, unless the opponent's level or equipment is far above Asuna, Asuna has almost no chance of losing.
In fact, the equipment and level of the rapier user named Tachibana are not high. It seems that because he is obsessed with attacking players, his training level is not strong at all, and the weapons he equips are not high-performance. The skill proficiency seems to be quite good, and he was able to show such superb strength just now.
Asuna's level and equipment don't seem to be high. After all, she just came out of the hotel in the starting town and hasn't changed her equipment. She has only been active as a player for half a month since she fought all the way to the dungeon area. Or so
In other words, the difference in level and equipment between the two rapier wielders is almost negligible.
Then, the only factors left to calculate the strength gap between the two are technical issues.
But Asuna's skills were far superior to her opponent's.
Therefore, logically speaking, it should be impossible for a rapier user to defeat Asuna.
But now, it was Asuna who was at a disadvantage in a one-sided situation, not the rapier user.
The reason is simple.
Asuna only carried out her defense, but the weapon in her hand did not attack the rapier user once.
No, it's not that there's no problem, it's that Asuna simply resists pointing weapons at living humans from the bottom of her heart.
On the other hand, the rapier user, although his training level was not high and his equipment was not outstanding, did not hesitate at all about hurting others. Almost all his moves were aimed at Asuna's weaknesses, whether it was her throat or heart. , abdomen, and eyeballs were all targeted by the rapier user and were attacked fiercely by the rapier user.
In this way, no matter how high Asuna's skills are, her body will still be cut by sharp weapons one after another.
Not long after, even though Asuna deflected all the attacks aimed at the weak parts of her body, the rapier wielder's weapon still scratched her thighs, flanks, armpits, arms and even her cheeks, leaving streaks of wounds Effect scars appeared on Asuna's body.
Of course, Asuna's HP also continued to decrease under such circumstances.
90%...
80%...
70%...
It quickly dropped below 50%, causing the HP gauge to turn yellow.
Even so, Asuna's HP gauge continued to decrease.
until it is reduced to the red zone.
"Haha...! Hahahaha...!"
Seeing this, the rapier user finally let out a crazy laugh as if he had lost his mind. While laughing nervously, he attacked even more crazily.
"Die...! Die...! Die...! Everyone will die in the end anyway...!"
The rapier user just fell into a rage.
Asuna was shocked.
"Everyone is mortal...?"
yes.
Isn't this what I have always thought
Anyway, in the end, everyone will die.
so…
"Just take the first step!"
The rapier user went completely crazy, roaring desperately.
Hearing this, Asuna understood.
"The same goes for this person..."
It is also because he is trapped in this world and cannot see hope or the future, so he completely collapses like this, loses himself, and becomes a crazy criminal.
Originally, Asuna thought that this rapier user was the same as those players who became robbers because they ran out of money. She attacked players in order to extract the money she needed from them.
But this is wrong.
The reason why this rapier user ended up like this is just because...
"Give up on yourself..."
Just like Asuna.
So, here comes the question...
"Am I going to be like this one day?"
The answer will not be denied.
Because, as long as Asuna continues to give up in such a gloomy way, she will eventually either die in the hands of the monster, or suffer a complete mental breakdown like this rapier user.
By then, will I still be myself
"No!"
Asuna raised her head sharply.
"I never want to be like you!"
Asuna finally started to fight back.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
After deflecting the incoming rapier, Asuna did not retreat this time. Instead, as if she was challenging the end that she denied, she took a step and rushed towards the rapier user.
"Zheng!"
The sword skill's effect light flashed on Asuna's weapon.
Even in the fierce battle, Asuna still completed the preparations for the sword skill and successfully activated the sword skill, turning the rapier into a meteor and flashing out.
"Varied…!?"
The rapier wielder opened his eyes wide.
Facing a blow that shocked even Luo Zhen, the rapier user was naturally unable to react at all.
The tip of the rapier was facing the rapier wielder's chest, flashing upward like an aurora.
This blow, once it hits, is definitely a knowing blow, enough to cause astonishing damage.
Unfortunately, the blow failed to hit.
"Okay, that's it."
Such a voice without any tension intervened.
