"Goo!"

"Whew!"

At the moment when the duel began, Rainbow Butterfly and Flower Butterfly each let out an exuberant cry, and then dispersed to the sides, dragging their long light tails and flying to the outside of the battlefield.

Luo Zhen rushed forward under the flash effect phosphor powder sprinkled by the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies, and on the sword body of the one-handed sword in his hand, bursts of ghostly light were circulating.

It is not an effect light that is unique to sword skills, but a light that indicates the enhancement of the weapon itself.

After four months, when he came to the 26th floor, it was naturally impossible for Luo Zhen to still use the original [Sword of Fortitude +8], but replaced it with a higher-performance weapon.

As Kirito said at the beginning, Luo Zhen now has several very high-performance weapons, and each one is comparable to Kirito's main weapon.

At this time, Luo Zhen used the weapon that he usually cherished———— [Sword of the King of the Protector +20].

This weapon is the royal special national sword obtained from the fugitive princess after completing a series of tasks when Luo Zhen obtained two flags for subduing the butterfly, and the performance is extremely high, even if it is used to the 30th floor.

Coupled with Luo Zhen's enhancement to the point of +20, the performance of this sword is already so high that even the 25th layer boss that caused the almost total annihilation of the [Ayn Grant Liberation Team] can deal a lot of damage, which is not at all comparable to ordinary quality weapons.

This is still secondary.

On top of that, this sword also has the effect of increasing both STR (tendon strength) and AGI (agility) by 10 points, which is very rare and rare.

Therefore, among Luo Zhen's several weapons, the performance of this [Sword of the Protector of the Kingdom +20] can be said to be the highest.

However, this sword also has its disadvantages, that is, the durability is relatively low, and it cannot be used all the time.

In view of this, Luo Zhen will prepare several weapons as backups, otherwise he only needs to use this Protector Sword.

Now, Luo Zhen pulled it out in this duel.

In the face of Heathcliff, Luo Zhen had no intention of hiding his strength, whether it was a demon or a weapon, he would use it.

I don't know if Heathcliff noticed this, the head of the knight order put the cross shield in front of him, and the cross sword was hidden behind the shield, and the whole person was like a charging general, with an extremely calm expression, and quickly swept towards Luo Zhen.

In the blink of an eye, the two met at the location where the duel window had just flashed.

"Bang!"

It wasn't until this moment that Luo Zhen stepped hard, and the whole person dodged to the side.

The first thing to do when facing an opponent with a shield is to try not to go head-to-head.

Because, attacks sent out in the front will basically be blocked by the shield, and the best way to deal with it is to attack the opponent by bypassing the shield.

Of course, the opponent is not a fool either.

(It's not hard to guess my plan to get around, Heathcliff will definitely attack at the same time as he confirms, and even use his sword skills to make it impossible for me to avoid it while I am in a dodge state.) ）

At that time, Luo Zhen will be able to unleash the same sword technique, deflect Heathcliff's attack, and then let Rainbow Butterfly and Flowerdie use negative status skills on Heathcliff when both sides are caught in the hard stun of the sword skill at the same time.

Presumably, the skill of the rainbow butterfly, which even the boss of the defending layer can't avoid, should be enough to control a mere player to death, right?

At that time, Luo Zhen's victory will basically be confirmed.

Luo Zhen is planning to do this.

It's a pity that Luo was really wrong.

Heathcliff did attack.

If it was the attack of a one-handed sword that Luo Zhen was familiar with, then Luo Zhen would definitely be able to accurately block it and even bounce away.

However, at this moment, the attack used by Heathcliffe greatly exceeded Rozhen's expectations.

"Huh!"

The sturdy cross shield broke through the air and smashed hard in the direction of Rogen.

Yes.

Shield.

Heathcliff did not use a weapon, but attacked Luo Zhen with a shield, which surprised Luo Zhen.

(Actually attack with a shield......!?) ）

That's impossible.

It's not the real world, and all the items that can be used to attack have strict rules, and in the game's parlance, there is such a thing as "attack detection", and as long as it's not judged to be something that can be attacked, it can never be used for attacking.

Of course, the purpose of the shield is defense, and its use in this world is only defense, and it does not have an attack judgment itself, so it cannot be used to cause damage to the opponent at all.

Now, Heathcliff actually attacked directly with a shield, and it seemed to be allowed by the system, how could Luo Zhen not be surprised?

In a hurry, Luo Zhen could only set up the Protector Sword in his hand and block it in front of him.

"Bell!"

With the sound of a bell-like crossfire, a powerful impact was transmitted to Luo Zhen through the weapon, causing Luo Zhen's body to shake and involuntarily take a step back.

This step was immediately caught by Heathcliff.

"Zheng!"

The light of the sword technique began to light up on the cross sword in Heatscliff's hand.

The weapon that Heathcliff had hidden behind his shield took on a graceful white trail and raised it high at Rogen.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen immediately stopped his pace.

Although he was caught off guard, the sword technique of the one-handed sword was very familiar to Luo Zhen, as long as he saw the preparatory action, Luo Zhen could know what sword skill the opponent planned to launch, so as to judge the opponent's next attack trajectory.

The problem is only ......

(Would that really be the one-handed sword technique I'm familiar with?) ）

Recalling the shield blow just now, Luo Zhen did not choose to block, let alone use sword skills to bounce Heathcliff's attack away, but slammed on the ground, and while the whole person retreated, he raised the Protector Sword in front of him.

The next moment......

"Choke!"

With the sound of a clear sword, Heathcliff's crosssword slashed down like thunder.

That speed and trajectory did not match any of the sword skills of the one-handed sword that Luo Zhen knew.

No, it's not just a one-handed sword, it's not found in any sword weapon.

Luo Zhen had already memorized the sword skills of all known weapons, and even the sword skills of Klein's "Taidao" skill and the hidden special skill of the "Body Technique" skill he used, so it was impossible to admit mistakes.

In other words, what appeared in front of Luo Zhen was an unprecedented sword skill.

"Boom!"

The unknown sword technique fell on the Protector Sword held by Luo Zhen, and a large number of sparks were rubbed on the sword.

If Luo Zhen didn't retreat and still stood in place, then even if he raised the Protector Sword to block, he would still be hit by the trajectory of the unknown sword technique, which would cause a large decrease in the durability of the weapon, and he would also be stuck in a state of force, and he would be hit directly by Heathcliff's shield again.

But when Luo Zhen retreated, the tip of the cross sword rubbed against the sword body of the Protector Sword, stirring up a lot of sparks, and at the same time, it also burst out with good strength, which pushed Luo Zhen away.

Luo Zhen took advantage of this to retreat at a faster speed and distance himself from Heathcliff.

"Huh?" Heathcliff's eyebrows raised, as if admiring and looking at each other differently, and said: "I didn't expect to avoid it, I thought I hadn't seen my sword skills, even if you could only lose under the attack and defense just now." ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhen did not answer, but stared at Heathcliff deadly.

A shield attack that shouldn't exist.

Unknown sword skills that shouldn't exist.

All of this is telling Rogen that Heatscliffe is using ......

"Special Skill ......"

There are no special skills that no one has discovered.
