Chapter 768

Slap slap slap slap

Bam bam bam

Boom

Clang

The figure in red and black launched vicious attacks at each other without stoping to rest . Sword skills flew everywhere as the figures clashed . Sparks danced and dust engulfed everything . Like two phantoms born from war and battle, they fought their way through the throne room .

Boom

Another shockwave shook the field as stones flew everywhere . The pillars collapsed one after the other . However, the pillars were repaired in due time . Except, they got destroyed just as quickly when the two battle maniacs came back for a second round .

Wu Yan used his Dual Blades to pressure Heathcliff continuously . Meanwhile, Heathcliff wasn't sure if he can counter-attack without taking serious hits to himself . Instead, Heathcliff chose to block each attack with his shield .

Wu Yan is an unstoppable beast when it comes to close quarters combat . Like the most lethal weapon in humanoid form, he unleashed deadly vortex of sword slashes with Heavengazer and Elucidator . This also showed how much power he unfurled with each swing of his blades . This dance of cuts created sonic booms with each swing, gouging the ground whenever his sword got deflected into the ground . When he drew it back up, chunks of rock would be pulled into the air .

Heathcliff is putting up a good defense too . With his immense defense and expert knowledge of the skills in this game, he blocked each attack without leaving a gap for Wu Yan to sneak an attack into . He also bit back with his sword whenever he saw a chance to strike . Heathcliff also showcased his mastery over his own sword skills, leaving a brilliant array of sword light in his wake .

The two only brought the intensity up to another level as the fight went on . The two were fighting at their highest level . The spectators felt their blood rushing when they saw the intense brawl between the two duelists . The song of sword and sparks echoed throughout the throne room, and, even the whole Red Jade Palace itself .

All kinds of sword skills came out, the hot air and the sharp flashes of sword beams continued flashing around the two duelists . They were also moving all over the place, the only way the crowd followed them is with the sound of sword clashes and the light of sword skills . They were also fighting with such frenzy that the spectators were shocked and awed .

The players didn't know what to make of the two duelists' vigorous fight . In what seemed like an instant, the two unleashed at least 5 sword skills, including heavy-hitting ones!

Using any skills in SAO will freeze the player up in Post-motion, the stronger the sword skill, the longer the freeze duration . In a fight, a player had to choose his skills wisely, if he chose poorly, he might be frozen in place, a very precarious situation in a labyrinth where anything can happen . . .

This common knowledge didn't apply to the superhumans fighting in the throne room . They unleashed skills after skills, connecting them in a symphony of sword slashes and maneuvers .

The Post-Motion was still a thing . For Heathcliff, he relied on his Final Boss stats to minimize the freeze duration infinitesimally to 0 seconds . Meanwhile, Wu Yan was stuck with Post-motion which he got around by relying on inertia and torque to supplement his prediction of Heathcliff's movement, evading or parrying Heathcliff's attack using Post-motion .

This is also the reason why Heathcliff couldn't pull one over Wu Yan despite being the one who is most familiar with sword skills in this game .

The players finally understood that the two duelists were an entire league above them .

Especially Wu Yan, this player solo-ed the final boss in the form of the creator god of this world . He held his own all the while whittling down Heathcliff's HP . The title of the strongest wasn't wasted on this guy .

The players watched with bated breaths . Their eyes followed the two duelists fervently as their hearts raced . They clasped their hands together as they witnessed this godly fight .

Looking at the two, they weren't sure if they can beat Heathcliff even if they ganged up on him .

If Wu Yan lost, they would lose all hope . Running away would be the safest bet, other than that, they would most likely get wiped out .

Thus, they placed their hopes upon the figure in black .

As time went on, the two HP bars continued fluctuating . For one, the HP bar went down, now, it's near a tipping point of low . Meanwhile, the other one experienced ups and downs but never did it go into the red zone . This is the reason why the two could keep this fight up .

Wu Yan gnashed his teeth, he felt his hands numbing up but he kept swing his swords while Heathcliff did his best to block his attacks .

They were waiting for a chance .

The chance to wipe the other opponent clean of their HP!

For now, they whittled each other's HP away, with one decreasing steadily while the other fluctuated with dangerous rates .

After a prolonged period of back and forth, the two entered another phase of the fight, the battle of mental endurance .

For the two who were close in power, will and endurance will be the key to victory .

This can't go on forever . . .

Wu Yan started getting a bit anxious when he saw Heathcliff blocking yet another attack while hiding behind his shield .

With the healing fairy, he isn't afraid of hitting 0 HP . However, Heathcliff will win in a contest of mental endurance .

The reason is simple, it wasted more mental energy for Wu Yan to attack than for Heathcliff to defend . At the end of this fight of attrition, the aggressor will be the first one to slip up .

Heathcliff had more capacity to spare than Wu Yan .

I must find an opportunity . . .

Wu Yan's eyes started spinning as he tried to come up with a way to break through this or risk losing the duel .

The healing fairy fell into his line of sight and his eyes started shining as a brilliant idea struck him .

"Hiya!"

Wu Yan's Starburst Stream finished with the last hit hitting Heathcliff's shield . Then, Wu Yan entered Post-motion while Heathcliff seized this chance to attack .

Heathcliff wasn't gunning on landing a hit on Wu Yan . He's sure he would come up with a way to evade him by reading his movements .

Wu Yan froze in place without moving or showing signs of connecting another sword skill .

Did he reach his limit?

With glee, he grinned as he stabbed at Wu Yan's heart . Since he's using a sword skill, he accelerated even faster towards Wu Yan .

Victory is mine!

"No!"

Asuna dashed towards them .

"Heathcliff!"

Kirito, Souta, Klein, and Agil rushed into the battlefield!

"Get him!"

The 5 players came running with the intention of stopping Heathcliff .

Touched by their loyalty, Wu Yan made up his mind!
