The inspiration also came from the underhanded tactics that Roya had always looked down upon, the Northern God Style.

Unfortunately, even this final sword strike was not enough to finish off the opponent.

At the crucial moment, a faint green light emanated from Heathcliff's body, and it was this faint green light that determined the outcome of the battle.

Heathcliff has fully mastered four skills: Holy Sword, Combat Recovery, Damage Reduction, and Light Shield Defense.

And this green light is the "Recovery During Battle" ability.

Heathcliff was now down to his last thread, but it was this last thread that kept his opponent hanging on.

Heathcliff smiled and murmured, "Then, I win—"

Before he could finish speaking, he realized something was wrong.

There was something hanging on the purple longsword. What was that thing?

The next moment, a scorching heat wave suddenly erupted behind me.

At that moment, Heathcliff recognized the item: the S-rank item [Dragon's Breath], dropped by the level 90 boss.

Heathcliff's HP dropped to zero, and he vanished in a purplish-black flame.

Everyone, just a few more chapters and it'll be Demon Slayer!

Chapter 96 Return Rewards

In the world of jobless reincarnation, Roya suddenly sat up in bed, his whole body covered in cold sweat.

That battle was incredibly dangerous, but thankfully I won, even though the price I paid was quite high.

At this moment, Luo Ya felt as if he had been hit hard on the head, and he felt a little dizzy.

It took me a while to recover after sitting on the bed, but I still felt like I wasn't feeling well.

'This has gone too far.' That was Roya's first thought.

He got up, rubbed his temples, and turned his gaze to the system interface.

[You have fully completed SAO. The world coordinates of SAO will be recorded by the system. You will have one opportunity to use spacetime power to adjust the time flow between your world and the main world.]

A series of system notifications kept ringing in Luo Ya's mind, needless to say.

Although this was his first time traversing a dungeon, based on his experience reading novels in his previous life, the more notification sounds like these there were, the greater his gains would be.

The power of spacetime goes without saying; it is something that must be consumed to travel between other worlds, and it can also regulate the flow rate between worlds, so its preciousness is self-evident.

And then there's this so-called power of origin. Although I don't know its extent yet, just reading the description gives it a high-end feel. My gaze then swept over the last piece of information.

Those 90 floor owners, they really had it tough, fighting tooth and nail against the other side to get to where they are now.

It took quite a bit of effort to defeat Kayaba Akihiko.

It all seems worthwhile right now.

As Luo Ya was still sighing and reminiscing, another system notification sounded, and Luo Ya looked at the panel again.

[You can choose from the following options to allocate proportionally. Because you defeated the BOSS: Kayaba Akihiko, you will receive an additional 50%! Your current allocatable share: 150%]

[Insights and Experiences with the Sword God Style]

Sword Drawing Technique

Kenshin

[Equipment: Moye (Rare Quality)]

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. Kirigaya Naoki's clone definitely had a lot of good stuff, but he didn't have much of it.

He only has 150% of the selection rights. He'll definitely take all the insights from the Sword God Style. He'll have 50% left, so he'll take that sword.

To be honest, he was quite comfortable using the Moye sword, and subconsciously, he tapped it.

As a result, the original 150% share was reduced to 125%.

Roya fell silent.

One weapon, and you want 125% of the share? Damn it, why don't you just rob it yourself, you dog system?

Luo Ya immediately invoked the system's command and asked expressionlessly, "Why are the weapons so expensive?"

[Moye does not belong to the real world. To convert this item into real data, an additional 50% share will be required.]

Luo Ya's lips twitched, and he gave up on the idea of ​​choosing Mo Xie.

While Moye is useful, it is not irreplaceable.

That leaves very few options.

Roya raised his swordsmanship experience to 100%, and then raised his swordsmanship heart level to 50%.

This was all that Roja's clone gained from his trip to another world.

After clicking "accept," everything suddenly went black before Roya's eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing in a white world.

"Hiss." Roya gasped.

This reminded him of the unpleasant memories from before his reincarnation.

Before he could think any further, a blurry figure appeared before him.

No, it shouldn't be described as an afterimage; a phantom image would be more appropriate.

The other party held a sword in his hand, a sword that Luo Ya recognized all too well. It was none other than Mo Xie. Mo Xie's style was exactly the same as the phantom's style. The originally purple and gorgeous longsword had become semi-transparent, with a black and white style.

But for some reason, Roya felt that the sword looked even cooler.

Looking at the illusory figure, Roya remained motionless, and so did the other party.

As Luo Ya attempted to take a step, the previously restraining phantom suddenly pressed down, and the famous sword named Mo Xie was grabbed by the phantom's hand. A strong sense of crisis surged into Luo Ya's heart.

This is the classic sword-drawing stance.

There was no sound, no whooshing sound, just an ordinary slash.

But it was this sword strike that almost severed Roya's entire body.

Kenshin's warning was loud, and Roya suddenly rolled to the left.

Then he witnessed a terrifying scene: a phantom that was originally thirty feet away from him appeared in front of him, its sword pointing towards the spot where Roya had originally stood.

this? !

Before Roya could react, Kenshin's warning sounded again. Without thinking, Roya immediately rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the slash once more.

The opponent continued to move, and his sword showed no power, only decisiveness and ruthlessness.

It was just a simple slash, just a simple swing and draw of the sword, so why was it so powerful?

For the first time, Luo Ya experienced an extreme sense of oppression from himself.

Even before three breaths had passed, Roya was ultimately beheaded by his opponent's sword, and his vision was plunged into darkness.

Then he opened his eyes again, and the next moment Luo Ya was still standing in the white world, and the same phantom was still opposite him.

In an instant, he understood everything; so this was how one acquires swordsmanship experience.

Fight against that version of yourself, absorb the essence of the opponent's sword techniques, and then continuously improve until you reach a point where you can defeat the opponent.

Why make things so complicated when it's clearly experience gained from a split soul?

There are some things I don't understand.

Roya tried to use his magic, but unfortunately, this area was a magic-forbidden zone. There was no magic, not even any elements. The magic in his body was like being shackled, making it impossible to use.
