Center of the arena.

When Makino and Hitzcliff appeared, the cheers at the scene suddenly came to an unprecedented cheer.

Hitzcliff and Makino are familiar with him. He also met many times when he was on the floor.

However, this is the first time that the confrontation is so close.

In the past, Hitzcliff usually wore a uniform with a white background and red pattern that the Blood League Knights had usually worn, but now he was wearing a completely opposite short coat with red background and almost no protective gear on his body.

Obviously, Hitzcliff was quite confident about this battle.

Of course, as an insider, Makino naturally understood Hitzcliff's source of confidence.

Even so, the huge pure white cross shield that Hitzcliff held in his left hand was particularly eye-catching.

The huge pure white cross shield, coupled with the sword contained on the inside of the shield, has become Hitzcliff's peerless configuration.

Just as Makino was looking at Hitzcliff, Hitzcliff walked to Makino with ease, looked at the fanatical audience around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Makino, I didn't know it would become like this."

Hitzcliff was unexpectedly polite, but Makino knew that he might have regarded him as a slightly interesting toy in his heart.

However, Makino doesn't care.

"It's okay. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's good to be able to defeat you under such great attention."

Hitzcliff couldn't help but look at Muye and said, "It's not a good thing to be too confident. Muye, although you have obtained the special sword skill [Incomparable Sword], I am also a user of the special sword skill [Sacred Sword]!"

Makino slowly pulled out the dark holy sword behind him and smiled, "Captain Hitzcliff, you have never been a swordsman but I am!"

Hitzcliff was surprised and his eyes became sharp.

Makino's statement is quite interesting.

You know, all the sword skills in SAO were designed by him!

However, Makino thought he was not a swordsman, which was really a very unique statement.

Hitzcliff put away his smile, his brassy pupils exerted an overwhelming momentum.

This is the arrogance and murderous intent of Hizcliff as the Creator and controls the life and death of all people in the world.

but.

Hitzcliff soon discovered that even in the face of his murderous intent, Muye still showed a calm and gentle look.

This is very interesting. Hitzcliff was a little excited after a long time.

Hitzcliff stepped back about ten meters, then he raised his right hand and controlled the menu without looking at the window at all.

At the same time, a duel message appeared in front of Makino, and the setting was to choose the first-match winning mode. Makino directly chose "Confirm" without hesitation.

The duel countdown pop-up window appeared, and everyone's hearts tightened at the same time, and the cheers that had previously been like a tsunami stopped.

Not only that, the world seemed to have become quiet, but the crisp countdown sounds remained.

The blood flow throughout Makino gradually accelerated, but his heart was still as calm as water, but he naturally put on a middle position.

but.

It was just such a middle-level posture, but Hitzcliff discovered that Makino in front of him had changed.

It seems that the whole body is full of flaws, but it seems natural and impeccable.

This is

Hitzcliff's emphasis on Makino has once again raised several levels.

Makino's posture made him recall the descriptions of the realm of "Sword Master" in some books he saw when he designed his sword skills.

No wonder Makino claims to be a swordsman, but it is interesting to say that he is not a real swordsman!

Hitzcliff pulled out the slender sword from his shield and put on a combat stance.

His posture of facing the shield to this side and only exposing his upper body seemed quite relaxed and natural, and it seemed that he did not use any extra force at all.

Muye did not underestimate this, and he immediately thought about it.

Hizcliff's [Sacred Sword] has both offense and defense, and has almost no weaknesses, but how can there be no weaknesses in this world?

As for not being able to observe, it is just that the realm is not enough.

The countdown passed by minute by minute. Although both of them did not look at the window, when the text [DUEL] appeared, the two of them rushed out at the same time.

The two of them were really too fast. In the eyes of everyone, their figures seemed to disappear on the ground at the same time. When everyone discovered them again, they found that Makino and Hitzcliff had crossed the confrontation distance and had almost collided.

As for the two of them, there was a gorgeous circular light effect behind them.

Seeing Makino's attack, Hitzcliff showed a playful smile on his face.

If Makino's attack was just like this, it would have disappointed him.

The shield in Hitzcliff's left hand determined that the huge cross shield swayed with white effect light, like a broadsword, directly blocked in front of the Makino Dark Holy Sword.

As for Hizcliff's right hand, the slender sword was also prepared to attack at any time.

But at this moment, Hitzcliff suddenly discovered that Makino in front of him had changed.

Not only Hitzcliff, but also all the audience discovered that the sword in Makino's hand had a light effect similar to flowing water.

"Water breathing·Three-shaped·flowing dance!"

In an instant, everyone was surprised to find that several afterimages of Makino appeared on the ground.

As for the trajectory connected between each figure, it perfectly forms a winding river.

"What kind of sword skill is this?"

Not to mention all the viewers, even Hitzcliff was slightly stunned.

Because Makino's movement method is too weird, it doesn't seem like it can be created by players.

It’s like it’s specially created in the face of a super extreme and harsh combat environment!

Although Makino's movement trajectory was somewhat beyond Hitzcliff's expectations.

However, Hitzcliff is the owner of this floating castle. His perception, agility, and reaction are all existences standing on the top of the world.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

Just as Makino danced through the flow, walked around behind Hitzcliff and launched a sharp attack, Hitzcliff immediately used the thin sword in his right hand.

Makino's attack speed was so fast that Hitzcliff couldn't even turn around.

So Hizcliff directly put the sword behind him in the posture of "King of Qin carrying the sword", which is the "flow" posture in Japanese kendo.

Sigh

The dark holy sword in Makino's hand collided with the thin sword in Hizcliff's hand, colliding with a large number of sparks.

[sharp!]

Hitzcliff did not hide his appreciation. To be honest, Makino's unique attack was completely beyond his expectations.

However, Hizcliff's movements were not slow at all. While blocking the slash of Makino's dark holy sword with his right sword, he also used the power of Makino's slash to widen the distance between him and Makino.

The biggest advantage of the Hizcliff's sacred sword is the sword and shield attack, which is actually somewhat similar to the second sword flow.

Naturally, he would not give Makino a chance to attack him!

However, the more Hezcliff has to do, the less Makino will let Hezcliff achieve his goal.

Makino's figure once again winded like flowing water, while Hitzcliff's eyes firmly locked Makino's figure.

Not only that, his body is still maintaining fine adjustment at any time, facing the side-rear attack that Makino may arrive at.

So, an extremely strange scene appeared at the duel scene.

On the field, there were winding water flows everywhere and the afterimages of Makino.

The figure of Hitzcliff is deeply trapped in the "water vortex" formed by winding water flows.

What is this?

The duel on site was really beyond everyone’s imagination!

Not to mention ordinary players, even top players like Kirito and Asuna were a little confused.

They didn't expect that such a decisive battle would be like this.

Can you imagine that the decisive battle between the two top experts is always changing and changing positions, and there is even less collision?

Of course, Asuna, who has seen the effect of Makino [Incomparable Sword], has a different state of mind.

Because the last time, in front of Asuna, Makino showed an effect similar to the arrival of the Vulcan.

[Is Makino's mood at this time like flowing water?]

Asuna thoughtful and undoubtedly became even more curious about Makino.

"It's moving."

At this moment, Kirito's eyes lit up while watching the game, and other people who knew how to do it also held their breath.
