After the teleportation, a slight feeling of dizziness hit me.

Makino ignored it, holding the Dark Holy Sword in his hand, cautiously observing the surroundings.

In front of me is a huge palace, with a lot of space and splendid decorations all around.

However, unlike the palace in Makino's impression, the floor, walls, and stone pillars are all eye-catching red.

If the general palace adopts the color of red and purple, it is to show nobility, let the tone change from cold to warm, and increase comfort.

Then this palace has a completely different look and feel.

Because, the red here is the kind of red of steel, and the whole square exudes a battlefield-like cold and solemnity.

Even without any introduction, Makino guessed the name of the palace - Ruby Palace.

The 100th floor of Ayn Grant, where the final boss Akihiko Kayaba lives.

Just as Makino was looking around, a sudden sound of footsteps sounded.

When I looked back, it was Akihiko Kayaba, who was wearing a red knight's uniform and holding a huge cross shield in his hand.

"This palace is beautiful!"

Akihiko Kayaba said casually, as if there was a guest at home, and the host introduced his house to the guest.

Happy and proud!

I have to say that the atmosphere at the scene is a little weird.

Makino glanced around again and nodded, "The building is indeed extraordinarily magnificent, but the atmosphere is too solemn, I'm afraid only a serious and boring guy like you would like it!" ”

Hearing Makino's comment, a smile appeared on Akihiko Kayaba's usually serious face.

Although Makino said it was boring, Kayaba Akihiko didn't pay much attention to it.

Makino's "magnificent" evaluation is enough!

At this moment, Makino swiped towards the void with his left hand, and directly brought up the menu bar.

After some manipulation, a blue sword appeared on his back.

Makino's behavior made Kayaba Jinghiko's eyes can't help but narrow, and his eyes kept going back and forth between the dark holy sword in Makino's hand and the dark blue sword on his back.

Two swords...... Makino is not the owner of the unique sword skill [Second Sword Stream]!

Interesting!

As the last "Demon King", Akihiko Kayaba has been thinking about what kind of surprise Makino, the "brave", will bring him in the final showdown.

What Akihiko Kayaba didn't expect was that the "surprise" that Makino prepared for him turned out to be this.

I have to say that fate is sometimes so very mysterious.

When Kayaba Akihiko first designed the ten special sword techniques, he was most optimistic about the brave who used the [Second Sword Flow].

However, Makino, who is good at using one-handed swords, came out of nowhere, and Kirito, the winner of [Nito-ryu].

Especially when Makino used his one-handed sword technique [Musou Sword] to break his [Sacred Sword], it made Kayaba Akihiko's script of "The Brave and the Demon King of the Second Sword Flow vs. the Red Jade Palace" completely bankrupt.

But what Akihiko Kayaba didn't expect was that after going around and around, Makino turned out to be the "brave man of the second sword".

It's interesting, it's really interesting.

Makino deserves to be the leader of SAO!

Kayaba Jinghiko said curiously, "The script that was carefully written last time was ruined by you, and I worked hard to redesign a script. ”

"I've been thinking that in the process of the floor strategy, you, who are almost the soul of the character, would suddenly be gone. What should players who have been relying heavily on you deal with? ”

"On the other hand, a man like you, especially after having a wife...... At a critical time, you can only be forced into another battlefield, what kind of potential can you burst out? ”

I have to say that Akihiko Aoba's words are really underwhelming.

If Makino didn't have the mood of the great swordsman, I'm afraid that at this time, he would have been stimulated by Akihiko Kayaba's bastard words.

But even so, Makino's heart was still full of anger.

"Kayaba, you're still as bad as ever, but ......"

Holding the Dark Holy Sword in his hand, Makino stomped on the ground with his feet, and his figure was like a wind, and he was instantly killed like Kayaba Jinghiko.

"Your so-called script is destined to be unsuccessful!"

"Don't underestimate the players in the strategy group, each of them has been killed all the way from the first layer to the present, and each of them is a battle-hardened warrior!"

"What's more, Asuna and Kirito are over there, and the most important thing is ...... As long as I defeat you here, all the fighting will be over! ”

Makino's figure is ghostly, and his sword is as fast as the wind.

But after all, Kayaba Akihiko is the big boss of the 100th floor, and his hands are fast, and the cross shield is directly in front of him.

Boom!

After a series of sparks, the dark holy sword in Makino's hand directly slashed heavily on the huge cross shield in Akihiko Kayaba's hand.

Makino's sword is powerful and powerful, and it is even a little beyond Akihiko Kayaba's imagination.

Caught off guard, Akihiko Kayaba's legs were even crushed by Makino's sword momentum.

However, it is clear that while Makino is progressing, Kayaba Akihiko is also improving.

What's more, there is also the loading of the mind system, and Kayaba Jinghiko, as the final big boss, naturally will not have his own mind skills.

I saw that a soft blood-colored light lit up on Kayaba Jinghiko's body, and Kayaba Jinghiko's legs, which had just been slightly bent by Makino's sword momentum, slowly stood up straight again.

Not only that, but the shield he held in his right hand was getting stronger and stronger.

It's like moving a mountain, pushing Makino's sword back little by little.

However, Makino naturally couldn't just let Akihiko Kayaba get his wish.

The silvery-white light shrouded Makino's body became brighter and brighter, and the dark sword that Makino had pressed on the Kayaba Jinghiko Cross Shield seemed to come back to life, and even the air around it became distorted and heavy.

It seems that after crushing and condensation, it will eventually turn into a liquid state.

Then, in the main hall of the Red Jade Palace, an extremely strange scene occurred.

The battle between Makino and Akihiko Kayaba, two supreme figures, is neither gorgeous nor dazzling.

It's just that one person is pressing, and one person is resisting, and it's simple to the extreme.

But.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

In the eyes of the knowledgeable, the situation is very different.

A person is suppressing strongly, the sword is like a landslide, like the sky falling, mighty, and suppressing everything strongly.

And the other person, if the shield is not Zhou Tianzhu, stands up to the sky and the earth, and bears all the weight.

Let the world overturn, and I will not move.

This kind of confrontation that is almost "fighting for internal strength" seems to be short, but it is actually long, and it is extremely dangerous.

After the bullet was pressed to the extreme, the terrifying energy generated by the fierce confrontation was directly released.

Suddenly, between Makino and Akihiko Kayaba, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth, and a terrifying shock wave was instantly released.

The shock wave was so strong that it centered on the two of them, and instantly spread out in all directions.

The wind was raging, the waves were raging, and even the red jade palace made of rock and steel had a great shock because of this.

Of course, it is precisely because of this violent collision that Makino and Kayaba Jinghiko are also separated by the state of "fighting internal force".

Looking at Makino, Akihiko Kayaba's eyes lit up.

"Such a powerful sword skill, I'm really curious, what is infused into your sword to make your sword have such a powerful power!"

"Each other, Kayaba Akihiko, what kernel has been injected into your sword to reach such an astonishing level?"

Kayaba Jinghiko asked, and Makino asked rhetorically, seemingly sympathizing with each other and appreciating each other.

However, in fact, they are testing each other's hearts and minds.

After the SAO version update, the mind system is loaded, and players can make their swordsmanship and swordsmanship more powerful by injecting spiritual cores into their swords.

With an insight into the spiritual core injected into the opponent's sword, he may be able to take corresponding measures to break it.

Like Asuna, the spiritual core contained in her sword is the love for Makino and the world of SAO.

Therefore, most of the people who have felt the power of Asuna's mind will feel a ...... Warm!

And the power of mind given by Akihiko Kayaba gives Makino a very strange feeling.

Akihiko Chewba is obviously a guy who has killed nearly three or four thousand people and plays with human lives between applause at will, but the power of his mind is not as cold and hard as Makino imagined.

On the contrary, it also seems a little soft.

But it is the power of this soft mind, but the power is amazing.

Even with Makino's powerful sword power, he couldn't even overwhelm it.

Powerful and quirky!

However, neither Makino nor Akihiko Kayaba are clearly the kind of people who will give up easily.

With a burst of sharp sword light, Makino and Kayaba Jinghiko clashed violently again.

For a while, the entire Red Jade Palace was full of the dreamlike figures of the two of them, and as for the criss-crossing sword lights, it was more like a thunderbolt that pierced the sky.

Born in the Nine Heavens, dazzling and heavenly dome.

Streak across the sky and pierce the night.

If just a few seconds ago, the confrontation between Makino and Akihiko Aoba was still the kind of collision between forces, which was a clumsy coincidence.

Now it is a confrontation between skills, any ordinary sword technique, in the hands of the two of them, is like turning decay into magic, every move and every style, it is like a magic workman, not like a mortal can perform.

But even so, Makino and Akihiko Hayba are still fighting on a par.

Akihiko Hayba is worthy of the peerless genius who created the steel and rock floating castle Ayn Grant, and has designed all the sword skills in SAO.

Makino only fought against him once, and Makino's one-heart-flow swordsmanship, breathing swordsmanship, and various swordsmanship used were all thought of by Kayaba Jinghiko as a way to crack them.

This duel with Akihiko Kayaba once reminded Makino of the feeling of the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect breaking the Wuyue Sword Technique in "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

No matter what kind of swordsmanship Makino shows, Akihiko Chewba can always come up with a-for-tat solution.

If it weren't for the superb realm of Makino's kendo, he was no longer stuck to one move and one style, and he didn't use the various sword skills designed by Akihiko Kayaba, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the trap of Akihiko Kayaba at this time.

Rao is so, the situation is still a little unfavorable to Makino.

"What a beautiful sword skill, Makino-kun, you are really a kendo wizard!"

Akihiko Aoba had a smile on her face that was sure of victory, and her mood seemed a little relaxed.

Even if he is fighting against Makino, he is still in the mood to comment on Makino's swordsmanship.

"Although most of them are not beyond the scope of the sword skills I have set, the effect and power of what you use are completely different...... Makino, you're really impressing, amazing! ”

Regarding Akihiko Kayaba's comments, Makino was noncommittal, and there were no big waves in his heart.

"Mouth escape" is also a kind of strength, this kind of means Makino has seen a lot, the sword in his hand is wielded wantonly, still according to his own rhythm, constantly confirming his conjecture.

Regarding Makino's attitude, Akihiko Kayaba doesn't care either.

The one-handed sword and cross shield cooperate with each other, and the defense is not leaky, and all Makino's attacks are calmly accepted.

I have to say that after loading the mind system, Kayaba Akihiko's [Sacred Sword] has become a lot stronger.

Akihiko Kayaba: "Makino-kun, don't you pull out the second sword yet?" If you don't draw the sword, this second sword may never have a chance to be pulled out again! ”

Makino: "Nuclear weapons are most powerful when they are on the launch pad, when do you think my second sword will be drawn?" Or am I just bluffing and can't use the two-knife stream at all? ”

"Oh?"

Distract him and keep him scrupling - did Makino always fight this idea?

Interesting.

Akihiko Kayaba smiled again, feeling from the bottom of her heart that Makino's idea was interesting.

I have to say that Makino's hand really put a lot of pressure on him.

Of course, stress is also fun!

It's like playing Russian roulette, never knowing if there is a bullet in the magazine before you shoot.

And this sense of the unknown, the sense of horror and heartbeat that hovers between life and death at all times will undoubtedly make people extremely fascinating.

And just when Akihiko Kayaba thought that Makino would continue to test him, and then see the opportunity to counterattack.

Makino's left hand suddenly pulled out the second sword on his back!

Viyin~~~

With a sword roar, Kayaba Jinghiko suddenly felt a sharp sword light in front of him.

"So fast!"

Sonorous sonorous ~~~~~~

The slash from Makino's twin swords was like a storm, constantly slashing towards Kayaba Akihiko.

Makino was fast enough to use his one-handed sword, almost reaching a certain limit of human reaction.

Even with the blessing of the mind system, it is difficult to reach new heights.

However, Akihiko Kayaba found that he still underestimated Makino's nervous reaction speed.

Holding a sword in both hands and using a two-sword stream, Makino ushered in a speed of ...... Qualitative improvement!

Note that this multiplier is a multiplier on Makino's one-handed sword, and the reaction speed is enhanced, not the number of times the fencing combo designed by Akihiko Kayaba.

This is purely a kind of extreme sublimation of speed!

Akihiko Kayaba was shocked, and at the same time extremely excited.

He enjoyed the sensation of pushing the limits and speeding up the clock.

Kayaba Jinghiko gave up calculation, and his consciousness almost followed his instinct, and the sword in his right hand and the shield in his left hand made him exert it to the extent of supernatural power.

Sonorous sonorous ~~~~~~

The sword and shield collided wildly, and on top of the cross shield, there were violent sparks.

And this was just the beginning, Makino swung his sword faster and faster, and later he could only see a series of vague afterimages.

The fierce battle was too fierce, and the space between the two of them was cut to pieces, and they began to continuously oppress the space around them.

[Oh no, it's almost unstoppable!] ]

As the supreme genius who created this world, Kizuhiko Kayaba has his pride.

Since his last loss at the hands of Makino, he has launched a series of in-depth studies on Makino.

He would never allow himself to be in the same place twice!

His research was undoubtedly fruitful, but he found a way to crack all the sword skills that Makino had ever used.

Not only that, but with the loading of the mind system, Akihiko Kayaba, as the creator of this world, is naturally the biggest beneficiary of the mind system.

For the second meeting with Makino, Akihiko Kayaba is looking forward to it and is full of confidence.

Kayaba Jinghiko guessed that a character like Makino would definitely have special measures to deal with, and maybe he could surprise him.

However, Akihiko Aoba didn't expect that Makino's targeted measures turned out to be ...... Two knife streams!

What Kayaba didn't expect was that Makino, who had used the second knife stream, could reach such an astonishing speed.

What's even more incredible is that all of this was done by Makino himself, not the sword skills he designed.

[What a genius!] ]

Akihiko Aoba has been known as "someone else's child" by his parents since he was a child, and various news media have praised him as a peerless genius.

Although Kayaba usually doesn't take it to heart, as a genius, he has always been proud and lonely!

Until, today, Kayaba Akihiko met Makino, a peerless prodigy in kendo.

Even so, this battle belongs to genius, then he can't afford to lose.

Kayaba Akihiko, who was about to break through the defense, waved his shield violently, and after Gekai Makino's attack, he directly raised the sword in his hand.

And at this moment, the sword raised by Akihiko Kayaba and in his right hand began to be wrapped in a layer of red light.

Instantly.

This magic sword, which Makino can't even name, exudes fluctuations that make people's hearts palpitate.

At the same time, behind Akihiko Kayaba, an illusion of a floating castle of rock and steel emerged.

At this moment, the time and space of the Red Jade Palace seemed to freeze.

Makino's body seemed to be overwhelmed with the whole world.

It was really too heavy, and at this moment, some of the armor on Makino's body, leather boots, armor, wrist armor, etc., had a rapid decline in durability.

Signs of crumbling, shattering, and destruction even began to appear.

Makino immediately distanced himself from Akihiko Kayaba, and said clearly, "Ayn Grant....... Turns out that this is the core you injected into the sword? ”

That's right!

This is the core of Ashiba Akihiko's heart, and it is also the root of why Kayaba Akihiko's sword is so powerful.

Hearing Makino's words, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly showed a smile.

"Creating a world that transcends the constraints and laws of the real world is the only ideal and desire I have lived for a long time."

"This world is everything to me, and it is the reason why I live. When I was defeated, there was no need for this world to exist. ”

"I am the necessity of the existence of the world, so to speak...... This is my sword, my ultimate sword! ”

"Makino, do you want to save your companions who are still fighting on the 99th floor?"

"Then come and defeat me who I have at the heart of my heart!"

Kayaba Akihiko said, and the phantom of the floating castle of Ayn Grant behind him became more and more solid, as if it was about to turn the virtual into reality.

At the same time, the pressure on Makino has reached an unprecedented level.

Makino's feet seemed to be directly embedded in the floor of the Ruby Palace because of the weight of this terror.

Feeling that Akihiko Kayaba, who was almost integrated with Aingrant, Makino finally understood the power of Akihiko Kayaba's mind and why it seemed so soft.

Akihiko Kayaba loves this world of rock and steel, so his heart is gentle!

However, this gentleness does not include players who are struggling in this world.

It's a pity that Makino's heart, or rather, the hearts of the vast majority of players, is diametrically opposed to Akihiko Kayaba's.

Makino raised the sword in his hand and said, "That's the case...... Then I have to kill you completely! ”

Rumble!

Above Makino's body, what was originally just a soft white light instantly became gorgeous.

And the sword in Makino's hand became heavy and thick for the first time.

Feeling the heavy aura of Makino's face, Kayaba Akihiko was shocked, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented light.

"So, is that why your sword is so powerful? Hahaha, we're really the same kind! ”

For the first time in his life, Akihiko Kayaba laughed wildly.

Makino really surprises him from time to time! (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
