Infinite Trial from the Giant

After nearly twenty minutes of fierce fighting, Xia Tian successfully defeated the Storm Griffin without any harm and conquered the eleventh floor. Without much thought, he went straight forward this time and became the first player to enter the twelfth floor.

Xia Tian had completed the strategy for defeating the Storm Griffin, and the hint for the strategy for the eleventh floor was immediately delivered to Heathcliff. He looked at the notification message on the menu bar in front of him, and his murderous intent towards Xia Tian deepened.

Then he spread the news again, and this time, along with it, three shocking pieces of news were spread: Xia Tian killed Sandavel, killed the thirteen players, and at the beginning of the game, Xia Tian killed the first player when he stepped out of the novice gathering area.

The fact that Xia Tian conquered the tenth floor alone and disappeared after that had already made some players jealous and dissatisfied. The news released by Heathcliff this time added fuel to the fire and completely ignited the anger of these people.

All of a sudden, voices denouncing Xia Tian began to spread among the entire player community, and the Aincrad Liberation Army, led by King Ya, wanted to capture Xia Tian and execute him in public under the slogan of punishing the murderer in order to maintain peace in the entire game world.

This development was exactly what Heathcliff wanted. Or rather, he was expecting this to happen, because in this way, Xia Tian would become a public enemy, and if he killed Xia Tian at this time, he would not only solve the problem that affected the balance of the game, but would also be able to appear directly among the players as a 'hero'.

Of course, if I can't kill it, it means that my previous idea was correct.

"Find out Xia Tian's location information."

When Heathcliff used his authority to directly inquire about Xia Tian's whereabouts, Xia Tian, ​​who had entered the twelfth floor, did not continue to advance into the maze area. Having completed additional goal five, he found a place to stay and used the reward for additional goal three to retrieve Heathcliff's intelligence information.

The reward for the third additional objective was: information on any five bosses in Aincrad. Due to Kayaba Akihiko's own interest, he replaced the original 100th-floor boss with his own account Heathcliff, which allowed Xia Tian to easily obtain all the attributes and skill information about Heathcliff.

It has to be said that Heathcliff is worthy of being an administrator account. In addition to a series of server-exclusive sword skills including the Holy Sword, his basic attribute points are much higher than those of ordinary players. At least compared to Loki, whom Xia Tian is familiar with, Heathcliff's basic attribute points are three times that of the latter, and his attribute growth value, that is, the attribute bonus obtained after upgrading, is much higher than the Snake Warrior and Storm Griffin that Xia Tian has checked.

In addition to these super sword skills and extremely high attributes and growth, the five words "Administrator Privileges" written at the bottom of this information make people feel insurmountable.

After taking a quick look at the description of administrator permissions, in addition to the blood lock, single system acceleration, and forced unit paralysis that Xia Tian had seen, there were also a series of dazzling functions such as all player position query, full sword skill acquisition, equipment durability, item durability, automatic HP recovery, full stealth camouflage unit detection, forced unit poisoning, forced unit deceleration, etc.

Looking at this dazzling array of cheating items, even Xia Tian couldn't help but feel speechless.

Kirito can even beat a guy like this. The protagonist's halo is really the most powerful cheat.

Without considering how to deal with the other party's administrator privileges for the time being, Xia Tian first focused his attention on the sword skills mastered by the other party. Fortunately, the reward information given by the additional target three not only has a text description, but also a corresponding dynamic demonstration. Any skills involved in the information can be demonstrated an unlimited number of times. Otherwise, Xia Tian would not have been able to connect the tenth and eleventh floors without any damage.

After carefully observing and memorizing the sword skills that Heathcliff had mastered, Xia Tian took out the reward for the fourth additional goal - the Mini Aincrad.

Looking at the mini Aincrad in his palm, which was like an exquisite figurine and emitting a faint glow, Xia Tian thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Confirmed to use Mini Aincrad, select challenge level: 100th floor, face the boss - Heathcliff"

Just hearing a prompt in his mind, when Xia Tian opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the 100th floor of Aincrad, the Ruby Palace.

In the center of this open-air circular venue, which was a hundred meters deep and surrounded by pale red stone walls, stood Heathcliff, whom Xia Tian had met once before.

As soon as Xia Tian stood firm, Heathcliff, who was showing an expression on his face in front of him, directly pulled out the long face hidden in his cross shield and rushed towards Xia Tian!

Looking at the flashing light of the opponent's sword and his charging posture, Xia Tian quickly found the corresponding skills he had memorized from the intelligence in his mind. With a wrong step, the three-consecutive sword skills of Feishan were already performed.

There were only three crisp collision sounds, and Fei Shan's three consecutive strikes collided with the opponent's three consecutive thrusts.

There was almost no time to adjust. Xia Tian, ​​who was concentrating on watching the opponent's movements, noticed that the opponent's shield had been slightly adjusted. He turned his wrist and activated the sword skill "Mist". The blade was wrapped in a mist, and from a distance it looked as if the blade had suddenly become larger. At this time, the heavy cross shield in Heathcliff's hand also swung directly over, hitting the blade that was shrouded in mist and seemed to have become larger.

With a clang sound, Xia Tian's body took advantage of the collision to pull back the distance between him and Heathcliff, and Xia Tian's health bar, which had not shrunk since the tenth and eleventh levels, had already reduced a little in this lightning-fast fight.

Miao Wu can't deal with this move...

Even though he knew what moves the opponent would use, the corresponding response was not given in the intelligence, so Xia Tian had to anticipate it in advance. And this was the first time that the response he prepared did not have the expected effect.

Well, let me try to find out your weaknesses bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Xia Tian took the initiative to rush towards Heathcliff on the opposite side. After reaching a certain distance, he launched the offensive sword skill Tsujikaze.

Facing Xia Tian's rapid charge, Heathcliff simply tilted the cross shield slightly and moved it forward, directly deflecting Xia Tian's charge. Then the long sword in his right hand flashed and stabbed straight at Xia Tian's throat.

Xia Tian did know Heathcliff's information, but at the same time, Heathcliff was the creator of the game and all the skills in this game were created by him, so it basically meant that Heathcliff was also familiar with Xia Tian's information and understood it more thoroughly.
