“Woo!”

“Goo!”

Right after the duel began, Saichou and Hanachou spread out while Rozen was charging straight toward Heathcliff with a one-handed sword shrouded by light in his hand, but that was not the Sword Skill’s light. That was the light effect due to the weapon’s enhancement level.

After four months, obviously, Rozen could no longer use Anneal Blade +8, not to mention he was currently in the middle of clearing the 26th Floor, so he had to swap it with a much better weapon.

As Kirito said before, Rozen currently had several excellent weapons, and each of them was basically on par if not better than Kirito’s weapon.

Rozen was currently using his favorite weapon, the Queen’s Knightsword +20.

At this time, Rozen used the weapon that is usually cherished (the king sword of the country +20). It was a weapon that Rozen obtained from a fleeing princess during his quest to obtain two flags that he used to tame Hanachou. Even without enhancement, that sword should still be usable until the 30th Floor, and yet Rozen managed to enhance it to +20, making it even stronger to the point that it could deal a lot of damage even to the 25th Floor Boss that nearly wiped out Aincrad Liberation Squad, but most importantly, it granted the wielder 10 points of both STR and AGI, which was very rare.

However, this sword wasn’t perfect either, it had a shortcoming, which was its low durability, and thus he prepared several weapons as a backup. Otherwise, he would’ve stuck to the Queen’s Knightsword.

Rozen used it in this duel. He had no intention of holding back against Heathcliff. He’d use everything in his arsenal, be it weapons and Tamed Monsters.

As if realizing Rozen had no intention to hold back, Heathcliff raised the cross shield in front of him with the one-handed sword right behind and charged toward Rozen composedly. He looked like a general charging into the battlefield, so breathtaking.

In the blink of an eye, both of them already stood where the duel window between them earlier appeared.

Right at this moment, Rozen planted his foot hard on the ground and jumped to the side.

The first thing to keep in mind when facing a Player who used a shield was never to attack them head-on because it will be blocked by the shield. Attacking them where the shield couldn’t cover them was the best way to deal with shield users.

But of course, the opponent was not a fool either.

(It wasn’t that difficult to guess that i’ll dodge right away. Heathcliff will definitely attack once he knew where I jumped, or even use a Sword Skill since I won’t be able to dodge again right away)

But even if Rozen knew Heathcliff would be able to see through his move, he could parry Heathcliff’s attack with his own Sword Skills and then ordered Hanachou and Saichou to apply a negative status effect to Heathcliff while both of them were unable to move due to the Sword Skill’s post-motion. Rozen was convinced that the Rainbow Butterflies’ Skills should work against Players, including Heathcliff, since even Floor Boss couldn’t resist their Skills.

Rozen was basically as good as winning at this point, or so he thought…

Hitzcliffe did attack Rozen.

If it was a One-Handed Sword Skill that Rozen was familiar with, Rozen should be able to block it or even parried it.

However, the attack Heathcliff used at this moment was completely beyond Rozen’s expectation.

“Swish!”

The sturdy cross shield pierced through the air and went straight toward Rozen

Yes.

A Shield.

Instead of attacking with his one-handed sword, Heathcliff rammed his shield toward Rozen, which caught Rozen off guard.

(He used the shield to attack…!?)
