Chapter 50
As time passed, Saber's sword speed slowed down visibly, but Kayaba Akihiko's speed did not change much.

"I have to admit, if this is not the world of Sword Art Online, and I can use the system's limit assist function, I must have lost a long time ago."

Kayaba Akihiko commented with strength while resisting Saber's attack.

In order to maintain a high level of sword speed, Saber needs to be highly nervous and focused, but Kayaba can maintain a fixed response speed for a long time through system assistance, and the error tolerance rate is also high.It will be disadvantageous for Saber for a long time. As long as the opponent survives the strongest period at the beginning, there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

The attack of the blond female swordsman is still fast, but changes have appeared. Although it still looks like Saber is pressing down on the opponent and fighting, the number of times Kayaba Akihiko is hit and injured is far from the beginning.

Another 5 minutes passed, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

Saber, who swung her sword more and more slowly, was not as focused as before, and was finally caught by the opponent.

Kayaba Akihiko skillfully raised the shield, and the front tip of the shield touched the armpit exposed by the opponent's sword.

A characteristic of the unique skill Holy Sword is that the shield also has the attack judgment of the weapon.In other words, Kayaba Akihiko, who has the Holy Sword, is able to attack with a shield.

Saber, whose armpits were held up by the shield, was unable to swing her sword normally, and at the same time, the angle of the shield tilted by Akihiko Kayaba left her lower abdomen wide open.

Naturally, Kayaba Akihiko would not miss this opportunity. After a short period of energy accumulation, he stabbed out heavily with the one-handed sword in his hand.

Holy Sword · Single Attack Skill · Powerful Piercing
Saber's health volume was visibly reduced by a large amount, and more fatally, her offensive rhythm was completely interrupted.

The battle began to enter the control of Akihiko Kayaba.

Although Saber is still constantly changing the speed of the sword and the trajectory of the attack, trying to attack the opponent's weak point, Kayaba Akihiko, who has adapted to the opponent's attack mode, is very easy to deal with the attack of the sharply reduced combat power due to fatigue.

If the blonde girl is given a certain amount of time to recover, maybe she can really reorganize her offensive. The burst just now has successfully consumed more than half of Kayaba Akihiko's blood volume, and only one more burst is needed to win the battle.

"Oops, the president has entered a period of weakness, that bastard Kayaba Akihiko is about to launch a counterattack!"

Klein said anxiously.

"No, there is still a chance." Kirito's face was solemn, but he did not lose hope: "The situation has reversed. Now is the time for Kayaba Akihiko to attack, but Kayaba Akihiko's fighting style is to defend first and then counterattack. Phase. Compared to his ability to find loopholes and defend, Kayaba Akihiko's offensive ability is not outstanding.

Kayaba Akihiko's HP is now around 40%, while Saber's HP is still at 70%, the advantage is still on our side.The most important thing is that during the defense process, Saber has time to recover some of her physical strength and energy. As long as she survives this period of time, Saber can reorganize her offensive. In terms of avoiding attacks, she is the strongest in the world.And, if I'm not mistaken, Saber wants to..."

As Kirito expected, Kayaba Akihiko's attacks were repeatedly evaded or blocked by the blonde girl's superb pace and anticipation ability. Although some attacks still fell on her body, the damage caused did not exceed her tolerance. .

Akihiko Kayaba, who had the initiative in the battle, continued to attack, but he was still unable to reduce Saber's blood volume to zero. The attack lasted for nearly 20 minutes before he was able to reduce the opponent's blood volume to 30%.

At this time, Kirito, who has been paying close attention to the battle situation, showed a confident smile:

"Saber already has a winning chance."

"Nani? How did you find out?"

Klein was puzzled.

"Since just now, Saber's movements have become more and more agile, and her expression is not as sluggish as before. It seems that she has almost recovered, although it is still not as good as when the battle started, but Saber still has a hole card. Use it..."

A unique and majestic aura swept out of the blonde girl's body. The members of the Knights of the Round Table who felt this aura couldn't help but suddenly realized:

"Leadership temperament!"

With the blessing of this skill, the blond girl's attack power has been greatly increased. This attack will be more fierce than the previous one!
Saber, who was passively defending, kicked her legs fiercely, and once again got close to the enemy's side.

The two-handed sword cut horizontally, as fierce and sharp as before.

Victory is within reach.

At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko calmly said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Saber."

The solid shield, facing the invisible attack of the opponent's antelope with hanging horns, seemed to have eyes, accurately blocking the attack trajectory of the sword blade.

"boom--"

The sword in the hand of the blond female swordsman was knocked away, and after spinning several times in the air, it fell on the obsidian ground in the labyrinth area, making a crisp sound when it collided.

With a set of clean and neat combos, the blonde female swordsman's blood volume was instantly cleared.

The girl's body seemed to lose all strength in an instant, and she collapsed to the ground.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Saber."

There was a bit of regret in Kayaba Akihiko's words, he seemed to want to let this respectable opponent in front of him understand, and told the whole story.

"Actually, there is nothing I can do about Miss Saber's sword skills. However, this is a game world designed by me after all. I have already anticipated that there may be situations where people can fight without relying on the combat system I designed. players, and for this, I designed a set of procedures.”

Kayaba Akihiko tapped several times in the air with his right hand to open a special window and set it to be visible to everyone.

In the window, there are dense lines of code.

"Based on the theory of machine learning, this program can automatically analyze your movements based on your movements and design a response. In the battle just now, you used a total of 148 slashes on me, which provided enough samples for reference. The machine algorithm has successfully analyzed your fighting habits and attack methods.

So, theoretically speaking, your sword skills are useless to me.However, you are already proud enough to be able to push me to this extent. "

Kayaba Akihiko's words are very pertinent, and there is no lack of admiration for Saber's superb skills in his words.However, no one felt relieved. Silence and sadness formed a thick fog, covering the hearts of the players.

Asuna lowered her head, two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.

Many male players also choked up.

"Then, all players, see you at the 100th floor of the Red Jade Palace."
