Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

"I am always protected by the system. Any attack that would put my HP gauge into the yellow warning area will be blocked."

This is the truth why Heathcliff's HP slot has never entered the yellow area so far.

But now, Naoki Kiritani was in a headache. What should he do?

"Let the end come early." Heathcliff said coldly.

In an instant, Naoki Kiritani's level 3 Kenshin saw through Heathcliff's actions, and time seemed to be infinitely long here.

If he attacks at this moment, his strike will surely hit the opponent, but so what?

After all, he could never be the opponent of the other party. Thinking of this, Naoki Kiritani sighed and thought that power dogs are troublesome.

Heathcliff's finger fell on the turntable, and a blue light appeared on Naoki Kiritani's body.

Naoki Kiritani's pupils suddenly shrank. What did the authority dog ​​want to do by transferring?

Asuna suddenly rushed towards Roya, and so did Kiritani Kazuto. However, it all happened too suddenly. Before Asuna could reach Kiritani Naoki, his body had completely turned into blue light and dissipated.

When Naoki Kiritani opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer the scene of the sky and the earth on the 0th floor, but the 100th floor.

This is a red palace. Compared with the 0th level BOSS floor, this level is mediocre in any case. But it is here that Naoki Kiritani will face the most difficult person in his life.

Authority dog, oh no, the creator god (fake) Heathcliff!

The blood-red floor tiles are surrounded by tall pillars, which support the eaves above to an unknown height. Is it majestic? Maybe, there is a little bit of that feeling.

But more than that, it gives people a sense of extreme murderous aura. The surrounding palaces are all this blood-like color, and the overall atmosphere gives people a sense of evil.

This is the Ruby Palace, the location of the boss guarding the 100th floor of Aincrad.

But when facing the person in front of him, Naoki Kiritani felt somewhat helpless. How could a mortal stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods?

He is not Ryougi Shiki, who possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, so he is most likely doomed to failure this time.

Naoki Kiritani subconsciously grasped Moye's hilt again. The purple sword was slender and long. When it was swung, the sword gave people a feeling of purple thunder.

Naoki Kiritani looked directly at Heathcliff and said with a hint of sarcasm: "So, Kayaba Akihiko didn't come after a junior like me just to defeat me easily with his GM authority, right?"

It is indeed as Naoki Kiritani said, if the opponent keeps using an official plug-in to lock his health, he doesn't have to think about how to defeat the opponent.

Heathcliff, oh, no, the other party should be addressed as Kayaba Akihiko.

Kayaba Akihiko smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to play such a disgusting trick. Although I am the GM, I did use the administrator's authority to obtain the skill of the Holy Sword, but as the final boss character, this is also a reasonable range of enhancement. As for the proficiency of the skill, I practiced it bit by bit on my own, and never tampered with the skills. The level, equipment and props on my body were all obtained by myself, and none of them were fake."

Kiritani Naoki snorted disdainfully: "Just tell me whether you opened it or not?"

4000 words! I have already reached words!

Chapter 95 Epilogue

Heathcliff shook his head and laughed. He looked directly at the boy and continued, "There is no question of whether it is open or not. Even if I opened it, what can you do? Now you should be thankful that I am willing to fight you within the rules."

Naoki Kiritani fell into silence again, and the fact was just as the other party said, he should be thankful that the other party was willing to fight with a fair attitude.

Otherwise, he would be facing a tyrannical and unreasonable authority dog.

"Of course, I did some work on your unique skills," Heathcliff said.

Kiritani Naoki's expression froze, and then his eyes suddenly shrank. He shouted angrily: "You bastard!"

Heathcliff laughed and said, "You are wrong again. It seems that you still don't know me well enough. I just transferred the skills that originally belonged to you to Kirito-kun."

Naoki Kiritani frowned and asked, "A skill that originally belonged to me?"

Heathcliff said: "In this world, except for my 〈Holy Sword〉 which was obtained directly by me, I designed a total of ten unique skills, and the remaining unique skills have their own conditions for acquisition. Among them, the condition for obtaining the skill called 〈Dual Sword Style〉 is that you must have the fastest reaction speed among all players."

Naoki Kiritani raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what the other party meant.

Both Roja and Naoki Kiritani were far superior to ordinary people in terms of nerve reaction. After all, Roja's real body was there, and his mind as a caster and his agility as a swordsman. Even his soul could not be said to lag behind others in terms of nerve reaction.

However, Naoki Kiritani did not feel too unhappy about this matter. Although the two-sword style is indeed powerful to some extent, being powerful does not necessarily mean being the most suitable. Compared to the two-sword style, the sword-drawing style is his favorite.

Naoki Kiritani snorted coldly and said to Heathcliff: "There is no need to say so much. There must be a battle between you and me, right?"

Heathcliff's smile gradually faded, and he looked directly at Naoki Kiritani and said, "Well, let me see your strength."

The battle was about to break out. Luo Ya grabbed Moye with his backhand, and his power was concentrated to the extreme.

At the same time, a blue light began to emerge from his body.

Heathcliff said expressionlessly, "All the skills in this world are given to you by me. Your skill [Frenzy] is acquired only because I agree to it. Let me think about the characteristics of your skill? Enhance all your attributes? But if you keep using this state to fight me, your stamina will be depleted soon, right?"

It didn't take long for Naoki Kiritani to build up his strength. His Sword God Style had already reached the Sword King level in this world. Plus, with the support of his unique skill of sword drawing, he didn't need too much of a pre-swing.

Or maybe he was already building up his momentum when the other person started talking.

It was a momentum that was enough to crush everything, an unstoppable momentum that could destroy everything. Even behind Naoki Kiritani, a huge black figure could appear out of thin air.

Heathcliff smiled and said, "Then I will cancel my GM privileges. The boss battle will begin. If I win, you die. If you win, I die."

Naoki Kiritani exhaled, and the bricks and tiles on the ground were gradually shattered. Almost in the blink of an eye, Naoki Kiritani appeared in front of Heathcliff. The Moye sword was unsheathed, and the purple thunder was extremely swift. This sword was even faster than the previous one. Heathcliff undoubtedly had no time to react.

"But so what?"

A white luster appeared on Heathcliff's Holy Cross Shield. The shield and sword collided, and the sound of metal interweaving echoed throughout the Red Jade Palace. Moye's extremely swift slash was actually taken away by the opponent.

Heathcliff smiled and continued to say to Naoki Kiritani, "In fact, I have been selecting a hero for a long time. Just like in the novel, the hero will lead their team to defeat the last demon king and usher in world peace."

Naoki Kiritani didn't say anything. He held Moye in his hand with his backhand, and another purple lightning flashed across, but was still blocked by the Holy Cross Shield.

The opponent's defense value is too high. It makes sense. The opponent is a guy who can fight the 70th floor BOSS alone for minutes. As long as the opponent's shield is there, I can't cause any effective damage.

Then, as long as my speed is extremely fast and I can strike a sword that the opponent cannot defend against at all, this will be the only way to end it all. No, that's not right. This alone cannot end the battle. Only by defeating him and crushing him with all attributes can this end all.

After figuring everything out, the glow emanating from Naoki Kiritani's body was no longer blue, but purple. A tremendous force flowed through Naoki Kiritani's entire body. At this moment, Naoki Kiritani only felt that his body was so light, and his brain was clearer than ever before.

Suddenly, Naoki Kiritani thrust out his sword again, and the extremely powerful force almost condensed into substance, and the purple thunder slashed out again. This time, not only Moye turned into purple thunder, but Naoki Kiritani also turned into a purple thunder.

It was a slashing attack that was extremely fast.

At this moment, the sound of thunder could even be heard throughout the Hongyu Palace, and the surface of the Hongyu Palace was crushed to pieces.

Heathcliff raised his shield to block, and suddenly stabbed the cross sword in his hand towards Naoki Kiritani. At the same time, Heathcliff's unique skill was triggered.

Holy Cross Sword!

Suddenly, the cross sword turned into a white light and attacked towards Naoki Kiritani.

Naoki Kiritani was also shocked that the opponent could actually determine his position. Looking at the power of the opponent's sword, Naoki Kiritani knew with a little perception that this sword could not be blocked at all.

The opponent's strength was astonishing, and the swordsman was fearless. Once the sword was swung out, it could not be taken back at all. At the critical moment, Naoki Kiritani activated the Kenshin's insight skill. The opponent's sword, as ruthless as a poisonous snake, gradually slowed down in Naoki Kiritani's eyes, and finally reached a speed that he could barely react to.

Naoki Kiritani suddenly moved to the right at the critical moment and avoided the opponent's tricky and fierce attack.

Naoki Kiritani dodged the opponent's stab, but the Moye in his hand did not stop. The purple electric light hit the opponent's shield again. This was Naoki Kiritani's full-strength attack. Even a character like Heathcliff could not withstand this attack intact.

His HP was reduced by the power of the sword, but his health was still very healthy.

At this time, Naoki Kiritani was not in a good condition either. He felt that his internal organs were constantly burning. This was caused by his body being unable to withstand the powerful force.

Naoki Kiritani simply could not fight a protracted war with the opponent. Once the battle was prolonged, he would surely be the one to die.

What should I do?

Forget it, it was a life-and-death fight anyway, and my mission was accomplished, so there was no need to worry about so much anymore.

All of a sudden, Naoki Kiritani's HP was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, not only was there purple lightning flashing on Naoki Kiritani's body, but there was even a layer of mist around him.

Naoki Kiritani's speed unexpectedly increased even more, and he suddenly kicked towards Heathcliff's shield.

Heathcliff's eyes suddenly contracted, his body trembled, and he was kicked directly into the air.

At the same time, Heathcliff also felt incredible. The opponent actually gave up his best sword skills and chose to kick?

What’s even more incredible is that the opponent’s kick actually kicked him directly into the air?

You have to know that he is now fully armored. Not to mention his own weight, the cross shield and the cross sword alone are two extremely heavy weapons. If it is not a player who has all his attributes focused on strength, he will not be able to equip these two weapons at all. But he was kicked away by the opponent like this?

Then he understood the other party's plan.

In mid-air, he had no way of using the opponent's force to dodge, and could only try his best to block the opponent's attack.

Naoki Kiritani's breathing became heavier, and his figure once again turned into purple thunder and disappeared on the spot.

Purple thunder reappeared, and in an instant three slashes came from all directions. Heathcliff was forced to block with a cross shield. His body was blown away by the huge force in an instant and smashed against the wall. The huge force almost embedded the opponent into the wall.

Heathcliff was completely stunned at this time, and his HP had dropped to the edge of the dangerous yellow critical value.

Heathcliff struggled to get up, but a figure appeared in front of him again.

At this time, Naoki Kiritani replied in an extremely hoarse voice: "Go on your way quietly."

Heathcliff's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously raised his shield to block. Moye collided with the cross shield again, and the powerful force almost made him unable to hold the shield in his hand. He just watched the opponent's blood bar slide down to the red. Heathcliff didn't know where he got the strength from, but he gritted his teeth and blocked the attack.

But with a slight sound, Heathcliff's face changed.

Then there was the sound of shields shattering.

Looking at the shattered shield in his hand, he didn't care about anything else and simply stretched out his left hand to grab Moye.

With a cutting sound, the lightning flashing with purple light was firmly grasped by Heathcliff's hand.

Heathcliff roared in disbelief: "This is impossible, you can't break my shield! How could you have such an attribute!"

Naoki Kiritani was no longer in the mood to answer the other party's questions.

The HP of both of them was rapidly declining, especially Heathcliff. When he really tried to catch Moye with his bare hands, he discovered a horrifying fact: his HP had actually dropped directly to the value representing the red area.

At this time, Naoki Kiritani was in a very bad condition. His heart was about to jump out of his throat. There was no part of his body that didn't hurt, and even every inch of his skin was crying in pain.

The physical pain can be endured by gritting one's teeth, but the key is the mental burning. Even his consciousness is constantly declining, but the pain in his body keeps telling Naoki Kiritani that the battle is not over yet.

He has burned his spirit, body and stamina in exchange for this extremely short burst.

It goes without saying how buggy the unique skill Heathcliff gave himself was, but no matter how unbelievable it was, he was now on the verge of life and death.

The broken shield means that the opponent's unique skills cannot be released.

Unique skills are powerful, and can even be described as bugs.

However, conditions must be met to use unique skills.

For example, Kirito's "Dual Swordsmanship" skill requires equipping two swords at the same time.

Naoki Kiritani's sword-drawing style can only be performed with a scabbard.

Similarly, Heathcliff's "Holy Sword" skill can only be used when both the cross sword and the cross shield are equipped.

And now, Heathcliff has lost the cross shield, which naturally means that the skills of the "Holy Sword" have been sealed.

It is for this reason that Heathcliff chose to take on the sword with his own flesh and blood.

The opponent's seemingly reckless decision happened to be the key to determining victory or defeat.

At this time, Naoki Kiritani's HP was almost exhausted. Not only his HP, but even his physical strength was almost completely exhausted.

This lasted less than 10 seconds. Naoki Kiritani's originally handsome golden hair turned gray in an instant, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

At this time, Heathcliff quickly realized that something was wrong, but the key now was how to defeat the opponent.

As long as, as long as he keeps holding on to this sword, the opponent will definitely die.

This was what he was thinking at the moment, but he was destined to be disappointed.

Another kick, Naoki Kiritani kicked again, this time, half of Heathcliff's body was paralyzed by the kick, and Heathcliff flew backwards again, this time he flew dozens of feet before stopping.

Naoki Kiritani's kick was not so pleasant to bear. This kick almost took away one-tenth of Heathcliff's health, making his already limited HP even more precarious.

But the purple lightning did not appear again, and the imagined severe pain did not come, which made Heathcliff slightly stunned.

Heathcliff stood up and looked back at where the other man had been standing.

At this time, Naoki Kiritani's entire body had already turned into charcoal.

The opponent's HP has completely returned to zero.

died?

This was Heathcliff's first thought, but it was more of doubt and confusion.

I didn't inflict the slightest damage on the other party, but he died inexplicably?

There is no ecstasy of surviving, only inexplicable sigh.
