Your husband is missing, why are you looking for me, Kayaba Akihiko?

Looking at the special atmosphere between Lisbeth and Xing, Kirito realized later that he might have fallen into the legendary Shura Field.

Fortunately, when he was feeling uneasy, his best friend Klein showed up with his best friend group "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain" and greeted Kirito and the others enthusiastically.

“Kirito, you guys are here as expected. What on earth is Seiya thinking? Why does he suddenly want to duel with the leader of the Knights of the Blood?”

As Klein appeared with the people from "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain", the "Holy Dragon Union" guild, the "Army" guild, and the "Light of Hope" guild formed by King Ya and Diabel also appeared one after another.

Looking at the players in the strategy group who had been fighting on the front line, almost all of them came this time.

Even ordinary players came, filling the entire Dragon's Nest to the brim. Klein couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being the top showdown between the two most famous players in SAO.

This is a much bigger scene than previous strategy meetings. I guess except for those who are not capable of exploring the 55th floor, all other players are probably here to join in the fun this time."

After listening to Klein's words, Kirito looked at Heathcliff, who was already standing on an icicle, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed, waiting.

Then he also spoke: "This is not surprising. After all, if you count the unique skills, Heathcliff and Seiya should be the strongest players in single combat in the entire SAO.

This duel almost established the strongest player in SAO, so it's not surprising that they would be curious about it."

After hearing Kirito's comments, Agil couldn't help but jokingly said, "I remember there were three players who mastered unique skills. We haven't even fought them yet. Kirito, do you think you're not as good as them?"

“Yes, Kirito, you also have a unique skill, right? In the past, you and Seiya were evenly matched in a duel.

So if you take it seriously, you shouldn't be much worse than them, right?"

Klein's words made Asuna and the others present very curious. They only knew that Seiya and Kirito had a good relationship, but they didn't know that the two had dueled.

“The 50-50 score before was entirely due to Seiya’s lack of familiarity with the game controls.

Now two years have passed, and if I were to face him again, I would not have any confidence at all.

You don't know Seiya. That guy is just an animal. From childhood to adulthood, his learning ability and talent can only be described as a monster.

Honestly, many people here probably think Heathcliff will win, but my intuition tells me that if Heathcliff doesn’t have any special tricks, he will probably be beaten up in a while.”

Hearing Kirito's high evaluation of Seiya, Klein and others were also stunned.

But they also knew that Kirito's words were definitely not groundless. After all, if we were to talk about who knows Seiya best, it must be Kirito who grew up with him. Even Asuna could not compare to this.

“It’s almost time for the duel, right? Why hasn’t Seiya arrived yet? Asuna, don’t you know anything about it?”

Hearing Klein's question, Asuna suddenly felt uneasy, and then quickly opened the pop-up window and tried to send a message to Seiya.

However, soon after her message was sent out, she was reminded that the target area was unable to receive any information.

"Oh no, something must have happened with Seiya! He told me this morning that he had to deal with something, but now I can't get in touch with him at all!"

Asuna's words made Kirito and the others present look worried.

After all, in the entire Aincrad, there are only a few areas where information is completely blocked, and these places are generally dangerous areas where transmission is prohibited.

The duel time agreed upon by Seiya and Heathcliff is approaching, but Seiya suddenly disappears inexplicably, and everyone feels that there must be something wrong.

Asuna was a little uneasy at the moment because she couldn't contact Seiya.

Although she thought it was unlikely, she still came to Heathcliff as soon as possible and asked, "President Heathcliff, where is Seiya now?"

Heathcliff, who was standing aside with his eyes closed and pretending to be cool, suddenly heard Asuna's question and was completely stunned.

No, where did your husband in the game go, and you don’t know, so why do you come and ask me?

Where did Seiya go? How did Heathcliff know? He just wanted to ask when he would arrive!

After all, he has been posing here for quite a long time, which makes him, as the GM, lose face.

"Seiya suddenly disappeared, and now we can't contact him at all, and all this happened after he agreed to duel with you.

Last night he hinted to me in various ways that you are not a simple character. I could even feel that he was prepared to risk his life in this duel.

It's just an ordinary PVP, isn't it? Why would Seiya have such a mentality? Now it seems..."

After listening to Asuna's imaginative speech, Heathcliff was completely speechless.

Even now, he is wondering if he has been scammed.

He is Kayaba Akihiko. If he really wants to kill Wenren Seiya, does he need to resort to such petty tricks?

As for the other side, in the center of the desert of the "Hill of Memories" outside the southern circle of the 47th floor of Aincrad, there is a place called "Hill of Death", and several figures are standing in the wind and sand.

If Asuna and the others were here, they would find that among the people present, there was a figure who was Seiya that they could not contact.

As for the other few people confronting him at this moment, one of them wearing the armor of the Blood Alliance Knights was none other than Kradir who had followed Asuna yesterday.

As for the few people behind Kradir, they were wearing black robes and had coffin tattoos on the back of their hands.

Originally, Seiya wanted to go to the 55th floor "Dragon's Nest" as agreed.

But just as he left the Wenren Chamber of Commerce, Kladil, who was wearing the armor of the Blood Alliance Knights, came in front of him and told him that the location of the duel had changed, claiming to be Asuna's friend, and brought him to this place.

Originally, the other party was a member of the Knights of the Blood Alliance. If Seiya was an ordinary person, he would probably believe what the other party said and fall into the trap.

Unfortunately, he was a time traveler, and had some impression of Kladil, a guy who was trying to take advantage of young girls, so he took advantage of the guy's strategy and followed him to this place outside the circle.

The other party wanted to kill him, and coincidentally, Seiya had the same idea.

If he won the duel with Heathcliff, perhaps all this would be over and they would return to reality.

Instead of leaving scum like Klatir as a hidden danger, it is better to kill them here first!
