"Well... !"
Heathcliff finally let out a depressed groan.
The jet-black sharp drill that penetrated into his arm seemed to be drilling into his bone marrow, and disappeared in the splattered blood effect light.
Under such circumstances, Heathcliff's HP gauge suddenly trembled and dropped significantly.
The HP gauge that was originally green turned yellow in just a few seconds, approaching red.
Of course, the drop in HP is a trivial matter compared to Heathcliff's current situation.
What was really fatal was not the drop in HP, but the fact that Heathcliff's cross shield had been destroyed.
This means not only that Heathcliff's impregnable defense will disappear, but also represents a more serious matter.
That is, the unique skill of will be lost.
This is also a matter of course.
No matter what kind of weapon skill it is, you must have a matching weapon to use it.
The skill can only be used with a one-handed sword.
The "Two-Handed Sword" skill can only be used with a large sword using both hands.
Skills such as 〈Scissor〉, 〈Dagger〉, 〈Flying Sword〉, 〈Taijutsu〉 and so on have their own usage requirements. As their names suggest, they must be equipped with corresponding weapons, or they must be empty-handed.
The same goes for unique skills.
For example, Kirito's "Two Sword Style" skill requires two swords to be equipped at the same time.
Heathcliff's "Holy Sword" skill can only be used by equipping a cross sword and a cross shield at the same time.
Now, Heathcliff has lost his cross shield, which naturally means that the skill of the has been sealed.
"Bang...!"
Heathcliff suddenly let out a rare stuttering sound, and while retreating violently, regardless of the condition of his arm, he called up the main menu.
Although I do not intend to use administrator rights in this battle under any circumstances, my rights as a player are not included.
To put it more clearly, Heathcliff still has a spare cross shield, and now he must race against time to take it out.
But Heathcliff may have forgotten.
Before throwing the prop, Luo Zhen had already rushed towards him.
"Zheng!"
The bright red sword skill effect light shines on the crystal sword in Luo Zhen's hand.
"〈Fatal Blow〉!”
The sword skill he loved was also released in Luo Zhen's hands, turning it into a red spear, which seemed to cut through the sound barrier and flew straight in the direction of Heathcliff.
The red crystal sword struck directly at Heathcliff's throat at a terrifying speed.
With the performance of "Deep Blue" strengthened to the extreme, coupled with the power of "Fatal Blow", Luo Zhen is the type that adds 2 points of strength. This blow will definitely knock out all the remaining HP of Heathcliff. Lose.
Facing this blow, Heathcliff had no shield to defend himself from.
The crystal sword shining with bright red light struck in front of Heathcliff.
"...!"
At the critical moment, Heathcliff decisively gave up the method of continuing to equip the cross shield. With a fierce look on his face, he actually advanced instead of retreating. Facing the sword skills approaching him, he stretched out the sword that had been hit by the magic diamond. hand.
"Pfft!"
Amidst the sound of cutting, the crystal sword shining with bright red light was held firmly by Heathcliff's hand, causing a large amount of blood-effect light to rub out from his palm, which was quite dazzling.
However, this fatal blow was finally stopped by Heathcliff's outstanding muscular strength.
"Varied... !?"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but look shocked.
Even Luo Zhen, who possesses the "Inner Eye", did not see through Heathcliff's action.
When Heathcliff stretched out his hand, Luo Zhen's "Mind's Eye" actually spied on this action, but Luo Zhen thought Heathcliff was preparing to use his "Physical Arts" skill. Who knew that it would actually be like this
This is also the weakness of the "Mind's Eye". Although it has the name "Mind's Eye", it cannot see through other people's inner thoughts, but can only see through phenomena.
I don't know if Heathcliff knew this. After holding Luo Zhen's weapon tightly, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
A smile that risks everything.
Immediately, Heathcliff raised his cross sword.
This time, Luo Zhen successfully saw through Heathcliff's intentions.
It's not using the skill of "Mind's Eye", but judging from the current situation.
"not good!"
This time, it was Luo Zhen's turn to change his expression.
At this time, Heathcliff suddenly exerted force and used his hand that was holding the weapon tightly to pull Luo Zhen, who was also holding the hilt of the crystal sword tightly, in his direction.
In a hurry, Luo Zhen lost his balance and was dragged over by Heathcliff.
The next second, the cross sword in Heathcliff's hand pointed at Luo Zhen's body and stabbed him resolutely.
"Pfft!"
The cross sword penetrated the body of Luo Zhen who was dragged over, pierced deeply into his back, and emerged from his chest.
Obviously being in the sao should block the pain in battle, but Luo Zhen actually felt a stinging pain flowing through his body.
As for Luo Zhen's HP gauge, it was naturally declining rapidly.
Heathcliff's blow was undoubtedly a knowing blow, and the damage could never be low.
As a result, Luo Zhen's HP gauge dropped all the way, to the yellow area in an instant, and then to the red area, approaching the bottom line.
"Kayaba Akihiko...!"
Feeling the cross sword piercing his body, Luo Zhen finally steadied his steps and stared at Heathcliff with murderous eyes and called out his real name.
"As expected, if you want to deal with the clever and clever Magician, you have to use unexpected methods."
Heathcliff withstood all Luo Zhen's murderous intent, showing an expression as if he was trying to figure out life and death.
The HP values of the two people continued to decrease under such conditions.
In sao, in addition to being hit by poison, when the weapon is left on the body, the HP value will also continue to be deducted, and it will not stop unless the weapon is pulled out.
At the moment, Luo Zhen's body was penetrated, and Heathcliff's hand was also holding the weapon tightly. Both of them were continuously being hurt, causing their lives to decrease.
So ruthless, so desperate, and so bloody, if a third party saw it here, he would be so scared that his face would turn pale, right
But Luo Zhen and Heathcliff just stared at each other and understood the key to victory or defeat.
spell!
Fight to see whose HP will run out first!
As long as the party that runs out first will lose!
These are the next winning and losing conditions!
"drink!"
Luo Zhen endured the strange feeling of the weapon piercing his body, and exerted force on the crystal sword in his hand, causing the tip of the sword held tightly by Heathcliff to move again, approaching Heathcliff's body.
"snort!"
Heathcliff gritted his teeth and tried to hold the crystal sword tightly to stop its trend. The cross sword in his other hand used the same force to penetrate deeper into Luo Zhen's body.
For a moment, light representing blood kept emerging from in front of Luo Zhen and from Heathcliff's hands.
The HP of the two of them also dropped at an alarming rate, and they finally reached the bottom line.
