The big arena was filled with people, and players from different levels gathered together to stare at the battlefield below.

This is a ring-shaped arena, with stair-like seats extending to a height of twenty meters. The sounds made by the circles of viewers all fell to the center of the venue, which was a bit harsh for the confrontationists.

However, in order to improve the atmosphere on the scene, this situation is inevitable.

There is a slightly dusty ground under your feet, and the diameter of the entire circular site is about 200 meters. As for the places where two people need to fight, the site is indeed very wide.

But since they are all melee types, there will be no long-distance attack players who have the advantage of terrain, so these are irrelevant. The most basic terrain environment is relatively equal.

The ears automatically blocked the outside world's voice, and Natsume, who calmed down, made a move.

Holding the sword in both hands, erected it to the right, making common knight-like movements, you can swing and slash down vigorously at any time, and you can react when facing attacks from any direction.

On the other side, Kirito also held the hilts of the two weapons tightly, and his whole body was calm and exuded a dangerous aura.

Natsume knew that the other party was very strong, and the most important thing was that Natsume had never fought with Kirito now.

Yes, it takes time to confront enemies who have never fought, to observe the enemy's time, and to find flaws.

Conversely, unlike Natsume, Kirito had already seen his way of fighting the time the two met.

The track of the sword, the speed of action, the favorite tricks, the movements everywhere in the body, and even the subtle deviations and changes before each action. Maybe all of this was captured and analyzed by Kirito.

Although some people think that this is too cowardly and looks too strong in the enemy, it doesn’t matter even if it is. For Natsume, fully understanding the other party and making various preparations are the necessary conditions for survival and victory.

In a duel, since it determines the outcome with one move, every action and every attack must be accurately calculated and judged, and no mistake can occur, otherwise the result will be defeated.

Both sides use melee weapons such as swords and understand the performance of this weapon, so they will probably have many similar ideas.

Natsume believes that if you want to defeat Kirito, in addition to understanding the opponent's action mode, you must also crack Kirito's [Star Burst Air Stream Slash].

I did fight with Kirito before, but in that battle, I believed that I and him had no time to pay attention to the opponent's tricks and attack methods, and the only idea was to survive and defeat the boss.

Therefore, in the conditions of victory, cracking Kirito [Star Burst Air Stream] or similar moves occupy a major position.

Sword skills have knowledge, moves have history, breathing has ideas, and each set of swordsmanship conveys this information.

Just follow the [veins] in this information and you may be able to reach the [truth] of combo swordsmanship, so that you can understand the opponent's skills, routines, and even the next attack action.

If you understand the opponent's tricks and sword skills, you will be able to achieve victory.

SAO is a game based on [Sword Technique]. It does not stipulate that players cannot imitate other players' skills. It is just that imitating such actions will not only waste a lot of time, but may also cause the consequences of failure in use. It is because of this that it will be ignored by other players, but Natsume has to try it.

With a one-handed sword, he imitated Kirito's unique skills.

Thinking at this end, the emcee player began to announce to the audience.

[The weather is very clear today! The sun is getting hotter! Then the battle will definitely be even more intense! The lone player Kirito - VS - Captain of the Knights of the Blood League First Team Natsume! - Now...]

start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the declaration of the emcee, both took action.

Kirito had locked in Natsume and rushed towards this side.

Natsume's action is different from Kirito. He chose a more conservative action than direct attack on the combat method.

[Ah! Ah! The black swordsman started to attack! His slash was really fierce. On the other side, the captain of the Blood Alliance Knights Order and the current leader of the strategy group actually retreated! Is this a stopgap solution?!]

Unlike those situations, players are also responsible for noisy commentary.

Natsume ignored the interference from the outside world and ignored some players' quarrels about themselves retreating, but focused on facing Kirito who was excited.

His speed was much faster than expected, and Natsume was forced to face the enemy after retreating ten meters.

The advantage here is only fast reaction power, but Kirito's advantage is the ability to slash uninterruptedly, which is somewhat of a loss for the one-handed sword himself.

But?! Fighting is OK!

Suddenly braking, and the dust on the ground was noticed, Natsume's pace slowed down, and Kirito's speed also slowed down.

The first attack is here!

The lake sword that Natsume had just stood up slashed directly, and the blade with a slightly golden light collided violently with the black sword cut horizontally from right to left. Jumping yellow sparks splashed out, and the pupils under the two of them had confirmed their opponent's next move.

With super fast reaction speed and flexible combat skills, Natsume held the sword in both hands while the blade collided with the blade, and his body rushed towards Kirito.

This is restraint.

Kirito's right-hand sword and the White Sword [Dark-Takeman] are longer than [Explanator], so the attack distance will also be expanded. Natsume approaches to delay Kirito's large-scale slash on his right-hand.

As I imagined, Kirito would also retreat, so [Dark Chaser] would also pull down the attack speed as he moved.

With this time, Natsumeku's sword slid down and cut towards Kirito's chest along the blade of the [Explanator].

The speed was very fast, but Natsume noticed that the attack of the White Sword [Dark Chaser] had arrived, and it was a high-speed slash from bottom to top.

This speed is faster than that of Natsume, who is proactive, and he will be the first to cut his abdomen before he hits him.

The two of them adopted a duel system, so if they were hit once, they would lose the game. So if Natsume took the banner of losing both sides, even if they would cut Kirito, they would be his own failure.

This cannot be done!

The sword in Natsume Lake immediately changed its attack track. It bypassed the black sword's blocking and slashed towards the lower plate as Natsume moved.

The sword in the lake and the white sword slashed each other, and the force coming from it made the arms numb, but Natsume did not stop moving, but immediately retreated.
Chapter completed!
