"Varied... !?"
At this moment, even Luo Zhen's pupils shrank because of Heathcliff's confession.
However, Luo Zhen still understood what Heathcliff wanted to say.
That's what happened, right
In this world called SAO, the boss on the 100th floor is none other than Kayaba Akihiko, the developer who created the world itself.
He created a character named Heathcliff in this world and prepared to train him, and finally stand in front of the finish line of all players when they successfully reach the top.
If the players' game is a complete guide to the world, then this is Kayaba Akihiko's game.
A reversal of rebellion at the last minute.
"Although according to the schedule, I should reveal my identity after the 95th floor and wait for your arrival in the Ruby Palace, the boss room on the 100th floor, there is nothing I can do since my identity has been revealed in advance."
Heathcliff's magnetic voice echoed clearly like a demonic barrier at this moment.
"Let's advance this battle a little earlier."
Start with this sentence...
"Ding bell..."
Heathcliff summoned the main menu under the pleasant sound effect.
This time, Luo Zhen did not continue reading.
"Don't even think about it!"
The sky-blue crystal sword was finally pulled out by Luo Zhen, and with a dazzling sword skill effect, it turned into a slash and suddenly struck Heathcliff.
Although he didn't know what Heathcliff was going to do, Luo Zhen still learned one thing from Yui, that is, the administrators exercise their authority in the same way as the players, by making selections from the main menu. The setting options in the clothes owner's menu are derived from this. Presumably Heathcliff's main menu also has this option, right
In other words, if you want to exercise administrator rights, you must first call up the main menu.
Because of this, when dealing with Kradir, Heathcliff would call out his main menu on the spot, thus exposing his flaws in front of Luo Zhen.
Now, Heathcliff once again called up the main menu, definitely wanting to do something with administrator privileges.
If it really becomes like that, not even Luo Zhen can stop it and can only watch the situation develop.
In this world, the man in front of you is God.
This is an undoubted fact.
In this case, he must be interrupted.
Luo Zhen launched the attack decisively.
Unfortunately...
"Qiang!"
Accompanied by a crisp clashing sound, a purple barrier flashed in front of Heathcliff, blocking Luo Zhen's powerful blow, causing the flash to explode.
"This is... !?"
Luo Zhen naturally knows this phenomenon.
This is a phenomenon that occurs when the system protects objects.
Now, Heathcliff is protected by the system.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Heathcliff's voice reached Luo Zhen's ears.
"I have always been protected by the system. Any attack that would cause my HP gauge to fall into the yellow warning area will be blocked."
This is the truth why Heathcliff's HP gauge has never entered the yellow zone so far.
Thanks to this, Luo Zhen still did not stop Heathcliff's movement.
"Let the end come early."
After Heathcliff made this announcement in a calm tone, he made some operations on the main menu.
Luo Zhen's "mind's eye" noticed it instantly.
At this moment, the world began to change again.
"Zheng!"
Blue light shone on Luo Zhen's body.
"Transfer...!?"
Luo Zhen instantly saw through the glorious body, but could not resist.
"Luo Zhen!"
Kirito, who was fighting the Skeleton Hunter, let out a cry of shock and anger.
"Luo Zhen!"
"Luo Zhen!"
Klein and Agil also shouted.
"President Luo Zhen!"
"President!"
Players in the strategy group showed shock one after another.
The chestnut-colored rapier user no longer cared about the danger of the defending boss behind him, and rushed over with an anxious and frightened look.
"Luo Zhen!"
Asuna let out a mournful cry, and while rushing this way, she tried her best to stretch out a hand.
"Asuna!"
Luo Zhen subconsciously stretched out his hand in Asuna's direction.
The two hands moved closer to each other as the distance shortened.
But this distance is almost forever.
Just when their hands were about to touch each other, Luo Zhen's transfer phenomenon finally started.
Under the blue light, Luo Zhen's body gradually disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
... ... ... ...
A familiar feeling of dizziness hit Luo Zhen's vision.
When the vision in front of him returned to normal, Luo Zhen had already set foot on a strange land and was transferred to another place.
"here it is... ?"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but be stunned.
What appeared in front of him was an extremely vast square.
The whole square is red, and whether it is the floor, walls or pillars, it is a very conspicuous color.
However, this red is not the beautiful bright red, but a steel-like iron red, giving the entire square a solemn atmosphere like a battlefield.
Looking at this, Luo Zhen immediately remembered a name that Heathcliff had just mentioned.
"Ruby Palace..."
The Ruby Palace is located on the 100th floor of Aincrad, where the floor-guarding boss is located.
"Yes, this is the Ruby Palace."
When such a sound came, Luo Zhen was no longer surprised. He just slowly turned his eyes and looked at the source of the sound.
There, the man wearing a red knight uniform and equipped with a cross shield exuded a foreign presence as if he had been there from the beginning.
"Congratulations, President Luo Zhen, you have become the first person to step onto the top of Aincrad."
Heathcliff said this with a smile.
What came instead was a merciless attack.
"Qiang!"
The sky blue crystal sword stabbed hard on the cross shield, causing fierce sparks to rub off.
Luo Zhen rushed in front of Heathcliff at an astonishing speed. While unleashing a merciless attack, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, stabbing Heathcliff in the face as he raised his shield to block.
In this regard, Heathcliff's expression did not change and he just said this.
"What a surprise. I originally thought that President Luo Zhen would judge the situation more calmly."
Heathcliff said these words as if discussing with others, not paying attention to Luo Zhen's attack at all.
Luo Zhen ignored Heathcliff's soliloquy.
"Where's everyone?"
"Still in the guarding boss room on the 75th floor."
"I'm the only one here?"
"Because you are the only one qualified to get here right now."
"... Where is the Skeleton Hunter?"
"Of course it hasn't been conquered yet. Not only has it not been conquered, but its HP has also been restored to its full state. It can be said that the strategy has started again."
"...Why do you do this?"
"The reason? It's actually very simple, right? Wouldn't it be too selfish if only we enjoy the fun of the final battle?"
At this point, the conversation ends.
Luo Zhen finally understood.
Facing this man who was watching all the players struggle from a bird's eye view, logic didn't work.
So...
"Kill you!"
Luo Zhen finally released his murderous intention.
"very good."
Heathcliff endured all this, and his expression became as cold and ruthless as steel.
A fierce battle was triggered.
