I put down the sword in my hand and smiled coldly:

"Sure enough, it's you!

"What?!This can't be! Leader, what the hell is going on!" Several members of the Blood Alliance Knights had some incredulous expressions when they heard my words, and Asuna on the side also covered her mouth, very surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Heathcliff did not reply. He only stared at me with a rather stern expression, and then asked in an interested voice:

"Don't ask how you found out, I've always been curious, during a regular system search, I actually found that there is such a player, his information does not appear in the system database at all, and there is no record of you buying game devices, I am curious?

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question in detail, you can understand that a very strong hacker brought me in!" I replied seriously.

"Oh~?" Kayaba Jinghiko raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it, it should be impossible for someone to attack his game and bring people in, but seeing that I was silent, I didn't ask any more. Instead, it changed the subject.

"So how do you tell I'm Akihiko Kayaba?"

"Actually, I've had a question since I came into this world...... That's where that guy is observing us now and adjusting the world. But I have always forgotten the purest truth that every child knows

It's like, "There's nothing more boring than standing by and watching people play role-playing games." Am I right...... "I paraphrased Kirito's words in the original book, and I can't think of any good reasoning to perfunctory Akihiko Kayaba. It would be embarrassing if it was exposed.

Asuna beside me took a slow step forward. Her eyes seemed to be staring into some void space, without the slightest emotion. I saw her lips move slightly, and then a hoarse voice came out.

"Commander... It's true.... Is that so?"

Heathcliff didn't answer her question, but just tilted his head slightly to me and said:

"And when did you first find out?"

"Just now, from your demeanor and movements! Each of us is fighting to the death for the rest of our lives, and we have palpitations, it's not that I look down on everyone, I think that after this hour of hard fighting, no one's psychology can be as stable as Mount Tai!

And your look, and smooth movements. None of this is something that normal players can do, as if they weren't on the same footing as us. He is the expression of the Creator God who has given us mercy from a distant height......

Plus that kind of attitude you usually have. Although he is the leader of the strongest guild, he never gives orders, and only leaves everything to the other players, while he watches from the sidelines. What if it's not because you trust your subordinates - but because you know information that the average player wouldn't know?

An existence that is not bound by the rules of the game of death. But it's not an NPC. It's just that the program doesn't have the kind of compassionate expression it can be.

Neither an NPC nor an average player, there is only one remaining possibility. That's why I took the risk of attacking you!Because when the NPC or Administrator's HP is lower than the yellow alert zone, a prompt will appear that they are protected by the system!, in fact, my guess is indeed correct!" Tang Wenke explained the reason why he found Kayaba Jinghiko.

He nodded slightly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a somewhat wry smile, which was the first expression on his face.

"I was originally scheduled to make this announcement when I reached the ninety-fifth floor. I didn't expect to be found out now."

After slowly looking at all the players, and the smile on his face turned into a transcendent smile, the cardinal announced with majesty:

"Indeed, I am Akihiko Kayaba. Further, it is necessary to wait for your final boss at the top. ”

At this time, I felt that Asuna beside me was a little unsteady on her feet, and my eyes were still fixed on the grass, and I directly supported her with my right hand.

"You've got a terrible taste, aren't you? Will the strongest player be transformed into the most vicious final boss? ”

"Don't you think it's a good script? I thought it was going to be a big climax, but I didn't think it was seen through by three-quarters of the way through. I thought you were the biggest uncertain factor in this world, but I didn't expect you to have such destructive power."

Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of the game and the man who imprisoned the spirits of 10,000 players here, shrugged his shoulders with a similar smile. Paladin Heathcliff looks completely different from the real-life Cottage in appearance. But the inorganic, metal-like indifference is the same as the faceless incarnation that befell us two years ago. With a smile on his face, Kayaba continued:

“…… I had predicted that this player called Kirito would be the last person standing in front of me. Out of a total of 10 unique skills, the "Two Blades" skill is given to the person with the fastest reflexes of all players, and that person will play the role of a brave man against the Demon King, regardless of whether he wins or loses.

However, the uncertainty of you appeared in my game, because I was curious about where you came from and why you intervened in my game, I kept you, and you did not disappoint me. Whether it's attack speed or insight, you've shown more power than I ever imagined. But...... This unexpected development can also be regarded as an outlier in online role-playing games......"

At this time, a player who had been frozen and unable to move slowly stood up. He is one of the officers who serves as a cadre of the Knights of the Blood Alliance. The little eyes that looked resolute and wooden revealed tragic and distressed feelings.

"You guy...... You guy...... How dare you put our loyalty—and hope—...... To give...... To give...... It's a complete spoil!"

He clenched the huge axe gun in his hand and rushed out with a roar.

The players simply didn't have time to stop him. I saw him swing his heavy weapon vigorously and smash it towards the thatched field.

However, the Kayaba action was a step faster than him. With a wave of his left hand, he quickly maneuvered through the window where he appeared, and as a result, the man's body immediately stopped in the air and fell to the ground with a loud noise. His HP bar flashed with a green frame. It is a state of paralysis. Kayaba's hand did not stop and continued to operate the window.

"Poof!" The sound of falling to the ground one after another, quasi-turned, and all the players expected to fall to the ground due to paralysis, Kayaba Akihiko used the ability of the system administrator!

"Tell me, then, what do you want?" I frowned, and though I had known that this was going to be the end, I was still a little uncomfortable to see my companion now like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Now that things have come to this point, there's nothing it can do. The only way to make a reservation is to go to the "Red Jade Palace" on the top floor to wait for your arrival. Although it was not my intention to leave the Blood Alliance Knights and the players of the Raiders group who were cultivated along the way in order to give players the strength to fight against powerful monster groups above 90 floors, I think you should be able to reach the top level with your strength. But...... Until then......"

After the grass stopped talking, those eyes that made people feel full of overwhelming willpower stared at Tang Wenke. Then he thrust the sword in his right hand lightly into the obsidian floor, the sharp, clear metallic sound tearing through the air around him.

Don, I'll have to give you a reward for seeing my true colors, so I'll give you a chance. Give you the chance to have a one-on-one duel with me here now, and of course I'll remove the undead attribute. If you win, all players will be able to log out of this world, even if the game is fully played. What do you think of ......?"

"Yes!" I've been prepared for a long time, even if I fail, I believe Kirito can lead everyone through this game!

"Brother, don't promise him!" Cylica, whose face was half lying on the ground, struggled to raise her head and cried out in pain.

"No, guard, he wants to kill you now!Let's go head-to-head with him when we reach the 100th floor!" Asuna said to me, shaking her head desperately.

"I can duel you, but can you promise me a condition that is not too much?" I said, looking at the Kayaba.

"If it's not excessive, it should be okay!" Kayaba Akihiko pondered for a moment and nodded.

"I think we'd better fight somewhere else, I'm afraid they'll affect me. I think that you, as a system administrator and game creator, should not be too much to plan a temporary venue, right?

"Yes, you can. Maochang nodded, tapped his finger twice in the air, and then nodded slowly to Tang Wenke to indicate that it was okay.

"Do you have anything else to say to these people? After all, if you fail, you'll die!" Kayaba glanced at a large group of players who had collapsed to the ground.

"No more.... Let's go" Glancing back at these familiar faces, I resisted the idea of turning back, because he was worried that he would be reluctant to leave as soon as he turned around, and instead of letting them worry that they would never return, it was better to be free and easy, and pretend to be confident.

"Goodbye, everyone, wait for my good news!" I said with a wry smile before entering the portal. Then he plunged into the portal without looking back.
