(This chapter loops Yu-Gi-Oh's BGM God's Wrath codeword, which is also quite emotional)

The collision of blades with blades, the rush of sparks, and the huge shock wave spread around the two of them.

Although Akihiko Kayaba had an "indestructible" status imposed, players who were unable to resist external forces were still knocked down by the shockwave and pushed away.

Seeing that Heathcliff's strength was already able to compete with his own, Nidhogg instead withdrew his sword and moved back, and when the opponent slashed at him, he stepped forward with a straight punch at a faster speed!

The silver armor covered with rainbow stripes slammed into the opponent's sword blade, and it was unstoppable!

- Boom!

Unexpectedly, Nidhogg was repulsed, staggering back a few steps before steady.

And Heathcliff's blade was also bounced back by the force of the shock.

In the end, the main system still didn't forget to trick me, and strengthened Heathcliff to this point, which is several times stronger than Dante at the beginning.

Although it is a property modified by Heathcliff, it is impossible without the instructions of the master system. Nidhogg rarely encounters a few beings who can wrestle with him.

On the other side, Heathcliff, who took a step back to stabilize the blade of his sword, tugged at the corners of his mouth.

What kind of monster is this......

This was the only thing Heatscliffe had at the moment.

This strength value is at the level of a 90-layer power-type boss, and his burst speed of retreating and rushing forward is almost teleported, and this ability value is not something that players can achieve at all, let alone adapt to it...... Again, Heatscliff was terrified of the host's presence.

Who the hell is this guy in reality?!

Gritting his teeth, Heathcliff swung his knight's sword and charged at Nidhogg.

Unique Skill Holy Sword? It's useless!

Seeing Heathcliff raise the cross shield in his left hand, the pale blue arc of Niedhogg's body flashed, and his hands posed in a strange posture with one palm facing up and the other facing forward.

Bang!

Like the sound of hitting thick glass, Heathcliff's shield was bounced away by the hands under the blank gaze of everyone, and the HP on Nidhogg's head was not weakened in the slightest.

"How, how could it be ......"

"Royal.Guard, Royal Guard style, performs an equal vector piercing attack to counteract while encountering an attack. The existence above the 'skill' that ordinary people understand,You've also seen Dante on the 50th floor use it.,I've never used this trick.,It's different from the vector reflection that is common to one side.,It's just the neutralization of damage.,However,You can also store the opponent's 'force' for ......"

The figure of Nidhogg, who didn't listen to the forced commentary, slashed down with a blue glowing knight's sword and unbelievers!

――biu!

As the blade approached, Nidhogg's figure blurred at high speed, and the next moment it was already behind Heathcliff, and only then did the space emit a strange long sound.

"Fight back in an instant. Look at you, you don't listen to me. ”

Heathcliff looked at the blood-red data wound on his chest, a little overwhelmed. But the combat experience of 'SAO' made him instinctively take a few steps back away from Nidhogg.

What else is this BUG-like power doing with armor?! Heathcliff used his left-hand cross shield again and charged violently.

- Bang!

Unexpectedly, Nidhogg was knocked upside down and flew out, crashing into one of the pillars of the main hall and sinking in.

Everyone: "......"

"Ahem, I didn't absorb enough damage, and I was slapped in the face." Nidhogg pushed his hands back with some embarrassment, leaving a humanoid gap in the pillar. In fact, the Royal Guard's attack on pure power is very limited, except for the Majin Heavy Armor that uses LV3. But Nidhogg doesn't say everything.

The arc bursts, with a bang, a kick!

[Conceiver・Void Momentary + Gilgamesh・Starfall!] 】

Boom!

Hizcliff, who had long been guarding against this move, held the shield behind him when the opponent's arc moved. The huge force of the shock caused both of them to take a few steps back. After landing on the ground, he felt his right foot was slightly numb, and Nidhogg felt a little troublesome.

Heathcliff propped his shield on the ground, glancing at the reddened footprint-like bulge on it, and a dull pain in his stomach.

Nidhogg took a few steps back, his armor silently switched to a great sword, and after taking a few steps around Heathcliff, he raised his sword and slammed wildly!

The tip of the sword collided with the shield, and the tip of the sword was bounced away in an instant, and Nidhogg took advantage of the situation to hold the sword with both hands and swing a slash! At the same time, the crimson light bursts out!

【Juggernaut Style・Dance of Death!】 】

The dark golden light of the unusual skill flashed, and then the dark red sword light fell on Heathcliff's shield like a storm, and the shield that was picked up was also radiant. Heathcliff actually held a blue cross shield to defend against Nidhogg's attack!

Bang Bang - !!

"Break it for me!" Nidhogg shouted in anger and swung the finishing blow diagonally from the bottom up, the eyes of the human skeleton and the demonic skeleton above the rebellion flashed with a blinding crimson......

Heathcliff gritted his teeth and struggled to unleash a thump on his shield.

- Boom !!

The two of them who launched a heavy blow at the same time stirred up a cloud of rubble, and in the center of the confrontation between the two, the ground sank and cracked in the shape of a radiating spider web!

"Give me back!"

Heathcliff, who was repulsed, immediately stabilized his center of gravity and took a step forward, and the sword and shield with his hands intersected knocked Nidhogg into the air!

Nedhogg, who was knocked away, looked down at Hizcliff, holding his knight's sword alof, ready to meet him, and decisively activated the talent that had been sealed for a long time.

[Demonization! 】

Beams of black lightning and light descended from the void and enveloped Nidhogg, and a huge tide of magic blasted the shield-wielding Heathcliff into a shield, and in mid-air, the dark gold and pitch black demons lingered wielding their greatswords, and the overwhelming crimson blades shot at Heathcliff from him!

[Wind Slashing: Storm Nest!] 】

The simple and crude infusion of mana resonates with rebellion, and Nidhogg's second-ranked ranged AOE skill bursts into a terrifying edge with the blessing of the Majin state, not to mention, it's not over yet!

【Phantom Sword・Continuous Sword Array】

Twice as many black magic blades as usual lined up behind him in a figure-eight pattern, shooting into the dust!

The entire hall of the Red Jade Palace was drawn out by the sword qi that was shot one after another, and the players around them widened their eyes, looking at the swordsman who was comparable to a team of archers with a round of long-range output, and they were glad that they were invincible, otherwise it would be too miserable to be affected and die unjustly.

Hiding behind his shield, Heathcliff struggled to raise his shield against the powerful impacts, but the unavoidable damage caused his HP gauge to quickly decrease.

Know to approach the yellow zone!

The storm of blades that lasted seven seconds sliced Heatscliffe's HP slot by two-thirds!

At this moment, Nidhogg, who had returned to his human form, bent his legs and kicked back!

【Con Tricker・Star of the Sky!】 】

The black magic outlined the essence of the circle behind him, forming a pedal, like a sharp arrow shooting out of the air, and his sword-holding right arm reached straight out as he swooped down on Heathcliff, and in an instant, the tip of the sword touched the shield surface......

- Buzz!

The wave of air swept through again, and the Blade of Rebellion trembled at the moment of impact, and flew upside down into the ground a few meters behind Nidhogg.

"Looks like I've won, Lord Niederhogg......" Heathcliff smiled as he was about to win, for his weapons were still there... But his smile froze in the next second.

…… Click......

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and intertwined cracks spread across the shield.

With a bang, it turned into data fragments.........

"......" Heathcliff was speechless, barely managed to stabilize his smile, and pulled out the knight's sword that was inserted on the ground before, "It's okay, I still have ......"

“YAMATO。”

With its blue scabbard and white hilt, Nidhogg gripped the knife he had called out like a nightmare for Heathcliff.

"What did you just say?" With a sliding step, Nidhogg made an impeccable slash and raised an eyebrow.

"That, that sword......" Akihiko Kayaba, who was just a researcher, shuddered when he saw the katana that had given him the fear of death again.

"You don't have any information about it, after all, it's from another world. Possessed by the Dark Knight, who once sealed the gate of the Demon Realm, and has the power to tear through space, its name: Enma Knife. ”

Even if he spit out words that sounded extremely middle-sounding, he revealed a sense of truth, and listening to his faint tone, all players did not have the slightest doubt in their hearts.

"All demons, remember the nightmare it brings...", as he spoke, the Enma Knife suddenly unsheathed!

【Dark Killer・Dimensional Slash!】 】

“Dark！”

In the eyes of everyone, a black electric light flashed from Nidhogg's body, and he only lightly lifted the hilt of the knife. In fact, he has completed all the steps of Juhe.

Visual! Tuna! Cut of the carp mouth! Unplugged! Cut it! Blood Vibration! Na Knife!

The black curtain representing nothingness shrouded Heatscliff out of thin air, giving him no time to react at all.

Shining sword light slashed out of it, one, two, three...... A full eight bolts of sword light slashed down at Heatscliffe.

"Prison Gate, Eight Swords in a Flash!" Nidhogg is babbling about other people's move names.

The sound of eight sharp blades entering the flesh sounded at the same time, and it was extremely clear.

Heathcliff looked at the several data wounds on his body in a daze, opened his mouth in vain, and finally turned into a sigh.

"You won..."

HP is reset to zero.

Cha! Nidhogg turned around and pulled out the rebellious blade on the ground with his right hand, and held the unsheathed Enma knife in his left hand. I don't know when my eyes turned golden and I was full of exhaustion.

"yes... I won ......"

PS1: I wanted to write a chapter of combat in earnest...... The result was a nondescript mess.

PS2: Sadian's eight knives and one flash are actually very simple to restore, as long as the speed is fast enough =-= The so-called eight knives don't have to be swung eight times, the focus is on that flash. Of course, it is unlikely to be restored in reality.
