Chapter 765
A gale blew away the dust shrouding the battlefield . The figure in black and the figure in red stood in opposition to each other . The healing fairy healed Wu Yan's HP back to max .
Heathcliff lacked a familiar that can heal him, but, the guy had 10 HP bars!
Compared to Wu Yan's HP, this guy's went through the roof . The amount of HP he lost is negligible compared to his total Health Pool .
The ground they destroyed got repaired . However, the players who were watching couldn't calm their hearts down .
The buildings in SAO are indestructible . However, to add realism to the environment, players with high enough power can destroy the structures to a certain extent . The boss rooms are examples of locations that can be partially damaged .
Granted, the player needs to have enough strength to do any real damage . Generally, only bosses had enough strength to wreck the ground, and they usually fired attacks at the ground .
However, the two dueling players destroyed the ground with just the aftermath of their attacks .
It wasn’t surprising that Heathcliff pulled this off, he had Final Boss-level stats . They just didn’t think Wu Yan could do the same thing .
Asuna who understood Wu Yan’s power after spending a year of her life with him wasn’t shocked by his display of power . She’s just worried, incredibly worried…
Wu Yan felt Asuna’s gaze . With swords akimbo, he stepped forward .
His steps looked like taunts to the other players . However, Heathcliff took him seriously, with a serious face, he got into a stance with his shield and sword at chest level .
Clatter
His cross-shaped shield and sword stirred the air in the room . The simplistic black sword came chopping at him .
Wherever the sword went, the air got sliced apart .
Bam
The sword’s impact sounded like a bomb went off . The heavy force sank Heathcliff into the ground . His expression twisted in discomfort .
With cold eyes, he got into a stance with Elucidator at chest height .
“Demonic OnslaughtI”
Wu Yan took on a a dark shine along with the silvery white Elucidator, he looked like a dark viper that circumvented Heathcliff’s shield, stabbing at his chest .
Sword met sword in a fiery exchange of sparks . Heathcliff blocked Wu Yan’s Demonic Onslaught . Without exchanging a word, the two figures parted, their moves created gusts of wind .
Bam
The two figures clashed once more . Shield and swords continued clashing with sparks that blinded the spectators .
Bam bam bam bam
Tang
Heavengazer shaved Heathcliff’s HP away while emitting sparks and drawing trails in the air and ground . Heathcliff gnashed his teeth when he saw Wu Yan wasn’t done just yet .
Wu Yan had superior speed, experience, and techniques . If this was a fight of brute strength, Heathcliff downright won with his SS-grade strength . In a true fight, however, Heathcliff fell into disadvantage . His only tactic right now is to block the opponent’s sword skills with his deep understanding of the skills and then fire a counter-attack back at Wu Yan .
Heathcliff moved when Wu Yan got into range . Like a rampaging bull, he came charging at the figure in black . He slashed his sword at Wu Yan’s neck .
Wu Yan sucked in a breath of air . He stopped with Heavengazer raised overhead . With a casual Tang, Wu Yan shut down Heathcliff’s rare opportunity to attack .
Fwoosh
He swung Heavengazer around in a 180 degrees arc . Blowing Heathcliff’s robe away and making his ponytail go into a frenzy from the ensuing force .
Feeling the attack coming from his side, Heathcliff frowned as he intercepted the sharp blade with another metallic ring .

Heavengazer pushed Heathcliff’s one-handed sword back . The sword bent into a very dangerous degree that would have broken any sword in the real world . Surprise was written on Heathcliff’s face .
The Heavengazer’s superior reach diminished Heathcliff’s strength advantage .
It consumed Heathcliff’s stamina but his sword didn’t break, Heathcliff unleashed another wave of power when the sword almost touched Heathcliff’s cheek .
Boom
Shoving Heavengazer away, Heathcliff charged at Wu Yan with his shield raised .
The heavy shield rammed Wu Yan in the chest, bouncing him away while somewhat reducing his HP .
The mild pain caused Wu Yan’s expression to turn dangerous . Although the game reduced the pain translation rate, he still felt a bit of pain from that attack .
Using Heavengazer’s hilt, he pushed against the shield, flipping in the air . He shone with a green light when he fell .
Sparks came when this attack got blocked once more . Wu Yan silently cursed Heathcliff’s tankiness .
Elucidator started shining as Heathcliff assumed another attack came . He raised his shield to block his torso only for Wu Yan to stab his leg .

Stab
Red particles flew up, the attack connected .
“Mgh…”
Heathcliff looked at the wound . He ignored his steadily decreasing HP .
So sword skills can be used as feints, huh?
He tried to slash Wu Yan’s head with his sword .
Wu Yan sensed this attack and he used Heavengazer to thwart the attack .
“Hah!”
Wu Yan’s center of gravity lowered due to the reaction force . He looked at the sky and his expression changed .
Heathcliff’s robe billowed in the air, Heathcliff’s cold gaze met his through the gap in Heathcliff’s shield .
