(Hawkers~ Thank you awdsxqe for the tip!) Ask for another ticket~)

55th floor, Grand Sam.

Today's Gransom is extremely lively, and the flow of people is several times more than before, because today is the day of the duel between Mouton and the head of the Blood Alliance Knights, Heathcliff!

An invincible existence in the eyes of players, and the other as the president of the first guild, the duel between the two very powerful characters naturally attracted countless players to watch the battle.

In front of the main square of the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights, the figures of Mouton and Heathcliff have not yet appeared, and countless players have gathered around the circular square, leaving only a passage to the square.

If you look at it from above the sky, you will find that there is already a black oppression below the square, and the number of players has made the presidents of countless small guilds smack their tongues, and each player's face is full of excitement, one by one, screaming as if they are about to fight a duel.

The matter of the duel between Mouton and Heathcliff spread on the day Heathcliff sent out the invitation, and the players of all guilds and layers basically came here as long as they were free, and all the players stood under the square, quietly waiting for the appearance of Mouton and Heathcliff, as for why these players knew, it was naturally the news released by Heathcliff.

In front of the square, all the members of the Blood Alliance Knights are maintaining the order of the square, on the far right of the square, where countless famous people in the SAO are standing, Liz is standing next to Kirito, on the shoulder is Celica who makes demon energy, and on the right is Klein, Achill and others, all of them are at the front, and they can clearly watch the two people who are going to fight later.

Asuna, on the other hand, was in a different position, a place reserved for the members of the Blood Pact Knights.

Within a few minutes, the originally noisy and noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and the eyes of countless people shifted to the figure walking towards the square at the same time.

This person is none other than the president of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, Heathcliff!

Wearing a red and eye-catching uniform of the Blood Alliance Knights, holding a shield engraved with a red cross that could block most of his body in his left hand, and a white sword in his right hand, after walking to the center of the square, Heatscliff's figure slowly paused and turned to look at the passage left by the players.

Mouton, who was walking behind, looked at the crowd of black presses, couldn't help but be a little surprised by the number of people watching today, and felt the gaze of all the players present on him, Mouton walked leisurely to the center of the square, in front of Heathcliff!

Two figures, one black and one red, stood in the center of the square, looking at each other quietly, and it took a long time for Heathcliff to show a smile.

"Mouton-kun, the number of people watching today's battle is completely beyond my expectations, you should be very uncomfortable, right?" Heathcliff asked, looking at a blank Mouton.

"Not adapting? Heathcliff, where do you see that I'm not getting used to? Mouton smiled faintly, and with a movement of his right hand, bloodlust glowing red appeared on his right hand.

"Oh? That's a bit of a surprise to me. Heatscliffe originally thought that Mouton, who had always walked alone, would not adapt to this crowded scene, but he didn't expect Mouton to be unexpectedly indifferent.

Asuna, who was standing in the distance, while maintaining order around her, her chestnut-colored eyes swept to the center of the square from time to time, and Liz, who had everything in the distance, smiled secretly in her heart...... Until, the duel between the two in the square really begins!

"Are you ready?" Heathcliff asked, raising the shield in his hand.

"Come on!"

Hearing Mouton's answer, Heathcliff smiled slightly, and sent the duel application to Mouton's eyes, which is the so-called 'first strike win and loss mode', this PK mode, as long as the health of the duel side drops to half of the overall value, that is, the yellow value, the PK mode that will determine the result.

In the moment after Mouton clicked to accept, the countdown to the duel appeared above the heads of the two out of thin air, and Mouton also put on a posture at this time, just waiting for the duel countdown to end and start the battle!

Heathcliff slowly pulled out the long sword that had been inserted in the back slot of the shield, holding the shield slightly, the expression on his face was completely gone, and the whole person seemed to be in a state of order.

Heathcliff as the administrator of SAO, so powerful that even Mouton didn't dare to say that he could completely defeat the guy, of course, if Heatscliffe didn't use the administrator privileges, Mouton would naturally have no suspense to win.

Of course, in front of everyone's eyes, Mouton still has the hope of defeating Heathcliff, and Mouton's bet is that under the attention of so many people, Heathcliff will not dare to use the administrator power arbitrarily, so that Mouton's chances of winning will increase infinitely.

With the countdown coming to an end, the originally noisy square quickly quieted down, and countless players looked at the two figures in the square with bated breath.

Asuna also looked nervously at Mouton in the distance, and her clenched hands were a little pale, which showed how nervous she was in her heart.

Listening to the countdown slowly end, with a 'ding' sound, Mouton flew under his feet, and his figure flew through the sky to Heathcliff, raising his hand and slashing at Heathcliff's body.

"...... Sonor"

Heathcliff, who was not slow to react, saw the bloodthirsty sword slashing at him, raised his shield, and at the moment of blocking Mouton's attack, the right hand holding the sword had already stabbed towards Mouton.

Mouton, who had predicted this sword, had already dodged sideways a second after he slashed a sword.

"Huh!"

Mouton slashed sideways and slashed at Heathcliff's abdomen, but was blocked by a white blade.

The two soldiers intersected, sparks flew everywhere, and a white wave of air centered on the two of them, surging towards the surroundings, and Mouton's black coat was swept up by the air wave.

"Step on ......"

Taking two steps back, Mouton's feet spun sharply and rushed forward again, the fierce collision of swords and swords, and the piercing sound of weapons colliding resounded throughout the duel square!

After a few seconds of frantic fighting, Mouton's feet burst out with full strength, his hands grabbed bloodthirsty, and a sword bombarded Heathcliff's red cross shield, Heathcliff's eyes without the slightest fluctuation suddenly flashed with surprise, and with the faint smile on the corner of Mouton's mouth, Heathcliff's body "bang", and actually took a few steps back.

For a while, the originally silent square erupted into crazy screams in an instant, and even Asuna opened her mouth wide, and the invincible president in her heart was actually repelled a few steps by Mouton's sword!

Heathcliff, who stabilized his figure, looked at Mouton with a slightly ugly face, in the previous move, Heathcliff still thought that Mouton's strength was only so little, but he didn't expect the powerful power that erupted behind him to shock himself!

"The strength is really strong...... "As soon as Heathcliff's voice fell, his black pupils suddenly contracted, and with the howling wind, Mouton's figure had already flown in front of him!

Caught off guard, Heathcliff could only hold his shield in front of him, trying to block Mouton's attack, who knew that Mouton had already prepared, in the moment of the slight movement of Heathcliff's left hand holding the shield, Mouton's original swing of the sword suddenly changed, and stabbed at Heathcliff in a completely incredible arc!

"Not good!" Heathcliff's expression changed, and the left hand holding the shield suddenly accelerated, perfectly blocking a sword that Mouton should have hit accurately!

"This is?!" Mouton's pupils contracted slightly, looking at the slashing long sword, Mouton burst out with super fast reflexes, turned his footsteps, flew back a few steps, opened the distance, and looked at the figure of Heathcliff, did you use administrator privileges just now......

"Mouton-kun...... I didn't expect your reflexes and body coordination to be so strong...... Sometimes, I really wonder if you're human......" Heathcliff's face appeared in Mouton's sight as the shield withdrew.

"Your reaction is also very fast." Mouton quietly complimented, causing Heatscliffe's face to tighten gradually.

The moment Mouton's voice disappeared, the figure had once again rushed out, the speed was even faster than the beginning, under the shocked gaze of Heathcliff, Mouton slashed a sword on Heathcliff's shield, the bloodthirstiness in his hand turned into several sword shadows, one sword after another sword was heavily superimposed, and finally, in the hearts of most players, the Heathcliff figure that was as stable as Mount Tai flew out with a "bang".

"It wasn't even his full ...... just now" Heathcliff's face became extremely ugly as he flew upside down, and it wasn't until he fell to the ground and splashed countless smoke and dust that Heathcliff stood up slightly embarrassed.

After several encounters, Mouton, with all his strength and speed, finally outscored Heathcliff!
