Infinite Trial from the Giant

"Now that I know your fighting style, you better be careful. I won't make the same mistake a second time."

Using ordinary attacks to connect with sword skills is indeed an amazing skill, but that's all. In Heathcliff's opinion, this skill is not of much use. After all, in this world, sword skills are the only thing. No matter how Xia Tian connects, as long as he uses sword skills every time and uses sword skills against ordinary attacks, the only one who will suffer will be Xia Tian.

I was just careless just now. Let me see if you have any other tricks.

What Heathcliff could think of, Xia Tian, ​​who had suffered losses in many simulated battles, could certainly think of.

"It's hard to say."

With a slight smile, Xia Tian took the initiative again and chose to attack from the front.

Tsujikaze!

Watching Xia Tian's actions, Heathcliff sneered to himself.

As long as you use sword skills, you can't be my opponent.

Thinking of this, he had already placed his shield where Tsujikaze would attack and activated his own sword parrying technique.

Just as Heathcliff expected, Xia Tian's forward slash hit right in the center of his shield. Due to the reaction force of the collision of sword skills, both swords and shields bounced back.

Unlike you, I still have follow-up attack methods!

The long sword in his right hand lit up, and Heathcliff proudly slashed at Xia Tian.

Just when Heathcliff thought that Xia Tian was bound to lose, Xia Tian suddenly twisted his body in front of him, and the long sword he thrust out passed by Xia Tian's shoulder very close and stabbed into the air.

what! ?

The damage of sword skills is very high, but once they are activated, they cannot be canceled. The player must wait until the activation is completely completed before he can resume free movement. If the sword skill hits the target, it is fine, but if it is blocked, it will cause the player to be bounced back. What is worse than being blocked is that the sword skill misses, which will cause the player to be unable to move for several seconds and expose a huge flaw.

At this moment, this shortcoming of sword skills was perfectly highlighted.

Red fan!

Heathcliff, who was in a state of backswing, had no way to make any corresponding moves. Xia Tian's three consecutive sword skills had already cut into his body like lightning.

Just like Diabel who was killed by the Kobold Lord on the first level, three consecutive scarlet fan strikes all hit Heathcliff. Although the latter was not killed instantly like Diabel, this time there was no shield to reduce damage, and Heathcliff's health bar quickly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Tian did not intend to give Heathcliff any chance to breathe. After slashing out the red fan, he stepped forward and swung his left fist directly at Heathcliff's face.

Although this attack could not cause any harm, but seeing a huge fist hitting him in front of him, Heathcliff was not only blocked from sight, but also felt his heart trembled at this brutal attack that he had never expected.

Fists? This is a world of swords, how can someone hit someone with fists?

Heathcliff was a little dazed by the punch, and Xia Tian's follow-up attack came. A Mist combined with Xia Tian's newly mastered Crescent Moon knocked Heathcliff back again.

But this time, Xia Tian did not continue to chase, but stopped where he was, watching Heathcliff slowly get up from the ground.

Step 2, success.

In Xia Tian's plan, the first step in fighting Heathcliff was to force the opponent to use acceleration, and the second step was to find a way to inflict a large amount of damage on Heathcliff, so that he would expose the most difficult cheating item - the immortal attribute.

At this moment, despite Xia Tian's fierce attack, Heathcliff's health bar still remained at almost half, and even the yellow bar had not gone in. Xia Tian saw clearly that when Heathcliff was attacked by him, his health was dropping at a speed as fast as a water leak, and when it reached nearly the middle position, it stopped abruptly. The mist and crescent moon he shot out afterwards did not cause any damage to the opponent.

"I have to say, you gave me a big surprise." After Heathcliff stood up at this moment, he did not continue to assume a fighting stance, but stood where he was, looking at Xia Tian with a complicated expression.

At this point, Heathcliff naturally would not take the chance and think that Xia Tian did not notice anything unusual on his side.

"You pushed me to this point with just two attacks and defenses. The second time, I didn't even have time to react and accelerate. Your strength is far beyond my imagination. However, I am very curious, how were you able to dodge my attack just now?"

This is what Heathcliff least understands.

You have to know that sword skills are aided by system assistance programs. No matter how fast your reaction is, it is simply impossible for Heathcliff to dodge without getting hurt at such a close distance.

There is only a slight possibility unless you already know in advance that you are going to use this move and have a complete grasp of the attack trajectory and skill landing point of this move.

But I have never appeared before. The Holy Sword, including the exclusive sword skills I mastered, have never been seen by anyone in this world. How could Xia Tian know about it?

Heathcliff had no idea that all these skills of his, as well as his various choices of moves after attacking and parrying, had already been clearly understood by Xia Tian in Mini Aincrad. The dodge he just made was the result of Xia Tian's dozens of times of practice. If not, how could Xia Tian choose to use Tsujikaze to attack directly from the front?

"Good luck." Even so, Xia Tian certainly would not explain the reason to Heathcliff. At this moment, he pointed at Heathcliff's health bar and said, "Is there any corresponding explanation about that? If your health does not decrease no matter how much you fight, wouldn't this battle be a bit unfair?"

Hearing Xia Tian's question, Heathcliff was silent for a few seconds, but suddenly he laughed. He turned around, and this action made him appear face up on the screen of the central square on the twelfth floor, as if he was watching all the players gathered in the central square through the void.

Then he retracted his gaze and turned to look at Xia Tian again: "How do you think this should be explained? You can guess first."

"There's nothing much to explain. You agreed with me before that if I could beat you, you would tell me a big secret that would allow all players to escape from this world."

As soon as Xia Tian said this, all the players who were watching the battle went crazy.

"Plus your strange speed just now, and your health that won't decrease."

"Kayaba Akihiko, you look so excited."
