Chapter 655

Wu Yan’s new sword formed a dissimilar contrast with the Heaven Gazer since his main weapon is about as tall as a person while his new sword is way shorter at the length of an average sword . He lowered his arms and he spread them wide . Like a panther that is about to pounce on his prey, he looked at Heathcliff .

“Nito-ryu”

His growl resounded throughout the place . Everyone, including Heathcliff and Asuna, heard him .

“What?! Nito-ryu?…”

Asuna continued asking with a very puzzled look .

“What’s that? Can players dual-wield swords in SAO?”

Asuna wanted to laugh at herself for coming up with such a silly notion . In SAO, you can’t wield two swords at the same time . If a player can equip another sword, that means he would get bonus attributes from wielding another sword .

It’s not a joking matter when you can unleash a sword strike with the attributes of two swords in it . Aside from that, the increase in attack speed also reinforces this boost in attack . The player’s spec before and after using another sword will go through the roof .

This is probably the reason why dual-wielding isn’t an option in SAO .

However, this player is currently using two swords, everyone can see it .

“Nito-ryu…”

Asuna stared at the second sword in Wu Yan’s hand . She wanted to see if he’s holding it instead of really using it as his off-hand weapon .

“Is this a skill? A kind of skill that allowed a player to equip two swords, is there such a cheat-like ability in SAO?”

Asuna suddenly remembered something .

She already has another example in the arena . Heathcliff is the user of a unique skill that combined offense and defense, the Holy Sword .

“A Unique Skill…”

Asuna smiled .

“No way…”

Asuna was wrong .

His Dual Blades is the real deal, it’s a Unique Skill .

In the original work, this skill is Kirito’s Unique Skill .

Now, in this universe, Dual blades came into Wu Yan’s possession .

With another sword in his hand, he felt more empowered . He felt lighter on his feet and he felt power surging through his arms . Now, he can unleash another level of attack power and attack speed .

“Dual Blades…”

Heathcliff looked at Wu Yan’s two swords .

“I didn’t think you would have a Unique Skill…”

When he said “Unique Skill”, the other players finally understood what happened and cheers came in droves .

The second Unique Skill has appeared in SAO, the Dual Blades .

Two Unique Skill users are dueling right in front of them .

Their blood started boiling with elation .

Wu Yan grinned .

“You look surprised for someone who has a Unique skill…”

Heathcliff should know about Dual Blades . This Unique Skill was designed with the intention that the player with the fastest reaction speed would get this skill . In the original work, that was Kirito . Now, his inhuman stats granted him access to this Unique Skill, how can a mortal like Kirito possibly compete response time with an inhuman being like Wu Yan .

Heathcliff looks like he wasn’t sure who would get Dual Blades .

“It’s surprising for sure…”

Heathcliff changed his expression .

“Unique Skill holders are destined to walk a different path than average players . You’re already an outlier without a Unique Skill, I can’t help but be surprised when you reveal your Unique Skill…”
