"Boom!"

When such a crisp steely clash echoed through the air of the labyrinth, blinding sparks were already sputtering up like flying stars, illuminating the entire space.

Asuna then caught up with the Tachibana swordsman who was about to sneak attack with superhuman speed, and when the opponent used his sword skills, with a pink effect light, and took the back of other players, Asuna actually came first, so that the thin sword in her hand also carried a pink luster, like a meteor, and swept towards the player's back.

Of course, Asuna wasn't there to attack others.

The female player's target is Tachibana's Rapier's weapon.

The sword skills used by both sides are the basic skills of Rapier———— "Linear Attack".

It's just that there is a qualitative gap in the completion of the sword skills of the two sides.

Although Tachibana's "Linear Attack" is also quite powerful, Asuna's "Linear Attack" is amazing, fast as a flash, bright as a meteor.

Therefore, even though he was one step later than Tachibana's rapier, and even more so one step later than the opponent's sword technique, Asuna's raiser was the first to come at a terrifying speed, and caught up with the murder weapon that took the back of another player in time.

The two rapiers met behind the player's back, as if two rapiers rushed at the player at the same time and attacked, only to see the two weapons collide and collide, sending sparks and strong winds up.

“……！？”

Tachibana's thin sword was taken aback, and he didn't expect to be stopped by others.

"How... What's wrong...!? ”

"What's going on!?"

The rest of the players were even more startled and bounced off like frightened birds.

As for the player who was attacked, he was a little unable to react and was stunned.

"Don't leave yet!"

Asuna rebuked unceremoniously.

The player reacted and quickly ran away to join his teammates.

The two swordsmen separated together, leaping to the side in unison, opening up a distance.

The air tightened.

The gazes of the two Rapiers met in mid-air, as if they had sparked their sights.

"Tachibana... Tachibana Rapier...!? ”

"Tachibana's Rapier has appeared!"

"But... But why are there two!? ”

"What the hell is going on!?"

Seeing the two Rapiers facing each other, the players who were seen as prey couldn't help but be confused.

Luo Zhen, who chased after him from behind, saw this scene and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

As long as anyone witnesses the two Tachibana's Rapiers appearing at the same time and are hostile to each other, it is certain that it is very likely that the Tachibana Rapier who actually attacked the player and the beautiful female player who accidentally injured others are not the same person.

Although there will still be many doubts, it is better to doubt than to confirm, so that at least there is room and possibility for relaxation.

"Then only Asuna is left to take the other party down."

Luo Zhen turned his eyes and looked at the battlefield in front of him, looking at the two thin sword envoys who were facing each other.

Then, the unknown muttered.

"But can she do it...?"

Luo Zhen watched as if he already knew the result.

At the same time, the two Rapiers also started a conversation.

“…… Who are you? Asuna was the first to break the silence and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you attacking other players?" ”

That's the first question Asuna wants to ask.

Pity......

“…… Have a finger in the pie. ”

The rapier squeezed out from under the cloak was a hoarse voice, which was rather harsh compared to Kiasuna, although it was not unpleasant.

That voice wasn't a female voice either, but a male voice.

In other words, the Tachibana Rapier who attacked the player was a male.

The other party also seemed to understand that he was designed, so he released quite strong hostility, even ...... Murderous!

In other words, the other party had murderous intentions towards Asuna.

This made Asuna's mood seem to fluctuate slightly.

Surely this girl has never had the experience of being cast with such outright malice by others, right?

However, this girl, who had behaved quite cold and gray in front of Luo Zhen before, was surprisingly much to say at this moment.

"Don't you want to stop?" Asuna pretended to be calm and said, "Then don't blame me for making a move." ”

As soon as this sentence came out of Asuna's mouth, it was immediately exchanged for the ridicule of the Rapier.

"Shot?" The acpier stared at Asuna's clenched acpier, and said with extreme contempt, "Can you do it?" ”

Obviously, the other party saw through it.

See through the fact that Asuna is just being stubborn.

If you look closely, you will find that Asuna, who had just used the Rapier Sword Technique with an astonishing degree of completion, was trembling slightly in the hand holding the sword.

That's right.

Asuna's mood is not as calm as it seems.

Perhaps, losing hope for the future and life will make this girl not care about her own life and death, but in the face of other people's life and death, it is different.

In the final analysis, Asuna is just an ordinary young girl, that is, not a magician, let alone a servant.

Even Matthew would be afraid and hesitant to fight, let alone Asuna, just thinking that her sword would tear through her opponent's body, her vision shook as if it was shrinking smaller and smaller, and her breathing began to become rapid, and even the floor where her feet were stepping seemed to be gradually moving away from her, making Asuna feel dizzy.

It's not a game.

It's a fight.

Once your weapon slashes through the opponent's body, the opponent's life will be threatened, and if the HP value reaches zero, they will die in reality.

At the thought that she would kill someone with her own hands, how could Asuna continue to stay calm?

So...

"You can't do it, Miss."

The acleter said this sarcastically, and then raised the acleter in his hand.

"If you want to do it, you have to do it at least."

As the words fell, the rapier shot out like a spring, rushing towards Asuna.

“……！？”

Asuna immediately reacted violently, subconsciously stomped on the ground, and retreated violently.

Obviously, the sword skills are above the opponent, and the speed is also above the opponent, so it stands to reason that there should be no fear of being threatened, but Asuna's first reaction is to retreat.

This made the sneer at the corner of his mouth more obvious, and the thin sword in his hand stabbed mercilessly.

The target is Asuna's thigh.

"Poof!"

With a tearing sound, the rapier slashed Asuna's thigh, leaving a scar of effect on it.

Asuna's HP immediately dropped.

"Hmm...!"

Asuna let out a muffled snort.

In SAO, the player will not feel pain when injured, but the sensation will still remain when attacked by a weapon.

Asuna felt the skin of her thighs being cut by sharp objects, and the unpleasant feeling of the weapon piercing into the flesh swept over her heart, causing her movements to falter slightly.

"This is called PK, Miss."

The acpier took the opportunity to deceive himself, with a sarcastic smile and madness, and the thin sword in his hand turned into a series of sword lights, sweeping towards Asuna's body.

Asuna could only raise her weapon and began a futile parry.

Two rapier warriors engage in the labyrinth, causing weapons to collide with each other.
