Chapter 647
Heathcliff’s words made the whole room go quiet again .
Heathcliff had a weird glint in his eyes, he continued gazing in Wu Yan’s direction with a strict look .
Heathcliff is very good at acting . He looks like a very strong guild master who is helping all SAO players escape this game but that’s all just an act .
In actual fact, he’s Kayaba Akihiko, the GM who imprisoned everyone in this death game .
As the creator of SAO, he had administrative privileges beyond anyone in this world . In this world, he is like a G.o.d .
Ignoring his hidden persona, Heathcliff is publicly recognized as the strongest player in SAO . Even Kirito is only slightly weaker than him, that’s just how good he is at this game . He could have been the strongest player if Wu Yan weren’t around, that is .
The Administrator, the man himself, said he’s afraid of this player standing in front of him .
He is the one who created this game out of nothing . He is the one who designed the balance in this world . That’s why he just couldn’t fathom that a player threw his game off the scales with his performance and abilities .
Heathcliff is pretty sure he never left any bugs to be exploited by anyone . This ruled out the suspicion that Wu Yan is using some kind of exploit to get his battle results . Truthfully, he checked his administrator’s log for signs of cheating or bugging but he just can’t find anything on Wu Yan . His achievements are all legit, he beat the bosses on his own .
Heathcliff also used his Administrator’s rights to monitor Wu Yan’s boss fight . Finally, Heathcliff came to a conclusion .
Wu Yan is the real deal, he is that good at fighting and using his skills to bring down enemies .
Equipment, weapons, items, tools, they are only supporting him .
He wasn’t using any bugs, that was all pure skill .
He was terrified of the implications . What kind of life did Wu Yan lead to become so good at fighting? Wu Yan exceeded the limits of a typical gamer .
After entering SAO, this is the first time that Heathcliff thought he would lose to another player .
Luckily for him, Wu Yan is the only exception among all the players . If there were more players like him, Heathcliff would probably start questioning the purpose of creating this death game in the first place .
Wu Yan saw through Heathcliff’s thoughts and he grinned .
He knows about Heathcliff’s real ident.i.ty .
It wasn’t hard to predict Heathcliff’s thoughts .
Wu Yan didn’t know that Heathcliff is currently thinking hard about Wu Yan’s origin and lifestyle . If he found out, he would probably laugh out loud . He would also hide his own Eternal Arms Mastery so Heathcliff can have more fun thinking about nonsense .
Wu Yan shrugged .
“You don’t look very terrified at all, guild master-sama…”
Heathcliff suppressed the questions within him and he answered .
“You don’t know what I am afraid of…”
Heathcliff leaned back against his chair and he continued .
“Even so, I still want to invite you to join our guild . Regardless of your current opinion and my own feelings, I don’t want to let such a strong talent go without at least trying to retain you . Wu Yan-kun please think one more time…”
Heathcliff’s invitation had another motive behind it . Knights of Blood was set up with the intention of monitoring players, when they arrive at floor 100, Heathcliff is planning on revealing his ident.i.ty as the 100th-floor boss, wiping out the players he partied with .
He’s planning on using this invitation as a way to keep an eye on Wu Yan . Currently, Wu Yan is the player who poses the greatest threat to him .
Wu Yan showed him a helpless expression as he shrugged .
“I don’t think there’s any benefit in joining KoB, that’s why I won’t be joining you guys…”
Asuna wanted to say something but she ultimately lowered her head without saying anything . n.o.body knew what’s on her mind right now .
