I am in the God of Shield, trying to survive

"You've said that, so I don't have anything more to say next, so I wish you the best of luck in this afternoon's battle!"

With a bright smile finally on his face, Shiramine Risa could only raise his hand to give him a gesture of encouragement.

"I will work hard, I am very confident in my own strength!"

Narusaka Kazuto also put a smile on his face, responding to the other party's encouragement.

"After lunch, you can take a proper rest and adjust yourself to the best state, so that you can have a perfect competition!"

"understood!"

"Also, remember to eat some fruit after lunch to help digestion..."

"Understood……"

"You should also do more exercise when you enter the game, move your body, so as not to feel back pain after you come out of the game..."

"Ok!"

"After lunch, take an hour's break, and there are still two hours before entering the game. During this time, you can come over to discuss tactics, analyze the information you have obtained together, and find the enemy's weaknesses..."

"..."

"..."

……

"It really is……"

After chatting with the other party for a few minutes, Narusaka Kazuto finally hung up the phone, shook his head helplessly, and then began to bury his head in his meal.

Time passed slowly, two hours passed in the blink of an eye...

During the game, Kirito was holding Yui in his arms, not at all nervous about preparing for a duel, and continued to sit there casually as usual, drinking slowly with a bottle of drink in his hand.

"You really don't feel nervous at all, but those forums are so excited that they are now discussing who is the best of the two of you..."

Asuna looked at the forum displayed on the panel. Now they are having an extremely heated discussion because of this matter. The content is probably about who is better between the two of them.

"Isn't fighting such a common behavior in playing games? There's nothing to be nervous about, but those people think it's too exaggerated. I haven't said anything before they start arguing there..."

Kirito doesn't really care about these things. The discussions of those players are actually meaningless. The one who should win is always the one with the strongest strength, and it won't be done just because of the so-called "one has one to say one, rational analysis" they discussed. make a decision.

"But now there is only one hour left before the time you agreed on, are you sure you don't want to make any preparations?"

Asuna raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her. It was fine if she didn't feel nervous, but she didn't know what to say with such a loose attitude.

It didn't feel like he was bringing a duel, more like he was out for a walk.

"A friendly exchange match, there is really nothing to prepare for. Don't take things too seriously. In reality, finding someone to fight is not so grand..."

Kirito slowly stood up and stretched his arms that were holding his daughter loose.

"Come and give me a hug at the end, and add a layer of love buff to me, so that my battle will be stable!"

Opening his arms, Kirito made a teasing joke.

"Don't be so rude, be serious!"

"Ha ha!"

……

The place of the battle was in the square on the second floor. There were still 10 minutes before the agreed time. When Kirito arrived at the place, he found a dense crowd of people around him.

The entire huge square feels filled with these people. At first glance, there are 6000 to [-] people, which may already be [-]% of the players on the second floor. It can be seen that everyone is quite concerned about this game.

This may also be because most of the players on the second floor are high-end players who pay more attention to strength, so they pay special attention to such games, and basically come to watch the battle between the two.

Fortunately, it is now on the second floor, and there are not too many people coming up, otherwise it may be even more exaggerated if it is changed to the first floor, which can be compared to the official event.

"Really, why do you want to disclose the time and place of the duel, can't you just have a private duel?"

Kirito looked at the huge scale around him and didn't know what to say, it was just a battle, so why make it so exaggerated?

Of course Kirito doesn't know, for high-end players like them, they are very concerned about which of the two of them is the strongest player in the game.

In addition, the second floor had just been opened not long ago, and they were not particularly happy about their identity as Pathfinders during this period, so they came to watch as they had nothing to do.

"Heathcliff!"

Ignoring the eyes of the people around him, Kirito came to the middle of the square, and saw an uncle in red armor and holding a shield standing in a circle where everyone gave way.

……

Chapter 160 The third chapter is still my skill

It was an uncle who looked a little handsome in the past, with light gray hair combed back to form a big back, which made him look a little majestic.

But the long hair exposed on the left side reaches to the chin, which adds a bit of unrestrained and unrestrained young people to his majestic image that should have been eclectic.

The overall appearance of his face is relatively ordinary, but it can be regarded as relatively clean. Coupled with the background of his image and equipment, he looks extremely handsome in the past.

Those eyes of the same color exuded a special majesty, just as majestic as his appearance.

But the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the slight smile he showed could make him show the gentleness of the uncle next door.

Wearing a thick red armor on his body, it can reflect scarlet like blood in the sun.

He holds a cross-shaped shield in his left hand, which is different from Maple's tower shield. His shield is not particularly large, but the cross-shaped shape is quite cool. With the inside of the shield, it seems to hold a sword. There is only a hilt on the upper end, so people don't need to question whether the sword can be drawn out and used.

Kirito rated him as "dangerous", because he felt a very familiar feeling on the other party, especially the other party's eyes, he was so familiar...

But if you don't pay attention to his eyes, just look at his other clothes, in fact, he is quite reassuring, that kind of thick feeling is very easy to make people think that he is very reliable.

——Generally speaking, he is an uncle who seems to be somewhat contradictory in the past, both in his temperament and appearance.

It makes people feel handsome and ordinary.

It makes people feel majestic and gentle.

It feels both dangerous and reassuring.

It seems that everything is deliberately disguised, and it seems that everything is the real him...

"Master Xingwang has admired your name for a long time, it is my honor to invite you here today!"

Showing a bright smile, the uncle in front of him saw Kirito and took two steps forward to show his respect.

"You don't need to praise me so much. I'm just a very ordinary player. Hearing someone ask me to fight, I will naturally agree to other things. After all, it's not such a difficult thing..."

Kirito shrugged and said something that even he himself might not believe, let alone some people around him who are more familiar with him.

With his identity, there are many people who want to challenge him every day, and he has never paid attention to those people. Now that he has said such a sentence, anyone who has sent him an invitation to fight will show dissatisfaction. A look of confidence.

"You are humble. No one in this game has never heard of your name. There are tens of thousands of messages discussing you in the forum every day. When I invited you before, I had a query Passed the data!"

With a gentle smile on his face, Heathcliff said without any concealment that he had investigated this young man, which made him look a bit upright at this time, like a paladin.

"Those are because they are so idle. I personally don't care much about these things. Rather than talking about what is there or not here, let's get into the battle..."

"Also, although I don't have any urgent matters, I don't like being surrounded by so many people chatting..."

Kirito's eyes swept around. Although the people around gave them a space with a diameter of 20 meters, their eyes were staring at them all the time.

This feeling of being watched is definitely not what Kirito likes, and it can even be said that he has never liked this feeling of being stared at.

"Since this is the case, let's have a private battle. It is really inappropriate for so many people to watch in a public decisive battle!"

Heathcliff glanced around and nodded in agreement, and made a proposal.

Private battles are different from public battles, this is a new feature added to the game in this update.

Public combat is to enclose a range for you to duel under the eyes of everyone. The venue is still where you stand, and the surrounding people have a way to see your battle clearly.

But in a private battle, both parties are sent to a duel field, where the two of them will duel, and there are absolutely no other people around.

They can safely and boldly fight decisive battles without any worries, and their battles will not be seen by others. It is a truly private battle.

It is unknown whether the original intention of this mode was to prevent others from collecting information, or for other reasons, but for Kirito at this time, this function is indeed very useful at this time.

[Player "Heathcliff" invited you to a private battle, do you agree?

Yes——No】

Kirito clicked "Yes" directly, and was teleported away with the uncle in full view, making the surrounding audience who were about to watch a good show all look confused.

……

"This is the duel field, is it your first time here?"

After entering the inside, it was similar to the scene when he challenged the dungeon before. With the special effects like traveling through time and space, he came to an unfamiliar environment. Kirito scanned the surroundings and felt a bit novel.

The environment here is like the Roman Colosseum, or the designer originally created this duel field after imitating that.

Although the field is not particularly large, the range of hundreds of meters is enough for them to play.

And there are no other people around to watch, so you don't have to worry about whether your skills will be exposed to everyone because of this battle. It can be said that this part can really make people feel at ease.

"It's also the first time for me to come here. The previous battle with Pain was done in an open way. It's also the first time I've used this mode!"

Heathcliff responded in such a casual tone, looking at the young man in front of him with a faint smile on his face, his behavior at this time really had the feeling of a gentle uncle.

"Since it's the first time for each other, why don't we talk about other things before fighting?"

Kirito raised his head and said to the uncle proposer in front of him.

"There is no rush for this, let's talk about it after we finish the fight. I wanted to fight with you a long time ago, and now I can't wait..."

Holding the cross-shaped shield in front of him, it was similar to what Kirito had guessed before. With his right hand, he drew a long sword from above the shield, forming a classic image of holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

"Being so impatient, the image you've finally shown is about to collapse. This doesn't seem like your setting..."

Kirito looked a little helpless, but he still put the gloves back into the backpack, and took out another white sword from the backpack, forming a real double sword style... It is also his most powerful form so far!

"Then I hope you can hold on, the battle here is not just sitting on the computer, I hope you can defend against my attack!"

After setting up his posture, Kirito narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed up instantly...

"Shhh!!"

The gorgeous saber light was drawn up, Heathcliff did not hesitate, and blocked his shield to the left, blocking his unexpected attack very easily.

"But it's not over yet!"

Kirito felt a little unexpected for the opponent's decisive defense, but his attack could not stop here. As the existence of the main combo attack, his attack method has never been a one-hit kill, but a continuous connection .

however……

"Behind!" The moment Kirito moved, Heathcliff moved the shield in his hand behind him again, blocking Kirito's attack with ease.

"Left, front, top, front, back!"

Heathcliff did not make any counterattacks, but simply used the cross shield in his hand to defend, but Kirito's eyes became more and more dignified, and he also found that things were getting more and more difficult.

At the beginning, Kirito thought that the opponent's reaction nerves were relatively strong, and he could barely keep up with his speed, so he was able to make such decisive defenses every time.

But later on, he discovered that this was not the case, and the other party's reaction nerves were obviously far worse than his own.

But the other party's prediction was extremely quick, and even said that the other party's understanding of him made Kirito's hair stand on end.

Before he made this step, the opponent already knew in advance where he was going to strike with his next sword, so he took the first step to defend.

Fortunately, the other party went too far in the latter matter, which made Kirito a little relieved.

Even if he feints, the opponent will also feint.

It is absolutely impossible for such a powerful computing power to be man-made, that is to say, the other party is not really powerful, but just hacked.

"But it's also a challenge!"

Although it is not clear how many computers the other party opened to continuously perform calculations on him, Kirito thinks there is still a chance to find a breakthrough.

After all, no matter how powerful the computer's computing power is, the opponent's attributes are just like that. As long as his movements exceed the limit that the uncle in front of him can do, then he can be done in seconds before he can't react.

"Just like now!"

Instantly catching a flaw, Kirito raised the black sword in his hand, causing Heathcliff to lean over the shield slightly, but this revealed a flaw.

"The battle is over!" The white sword shone with blue light, stabbing towards the waist where the flaw was exposed.

"That's not likely!" Heathcliff blocked the stabbing attack with the long sword in his hand.

"It can already be seen that even if you have the assistance of a supercomputer, I am still superior in combat, Akihiko Kayaba!"

Holding the black sword with his backhand, Kirito slashed towards his neck.
