Super God: If I punch you, you will die

After Asuna refused, she thought these people would let her go. But they continued to pester and block her way.

"Please don't make things difficult for us, Lady Asuna. We are also under the command of Lord Heathcliff, please cooperate with us."

The Knights of the Blood Oath.

One of the largest guilds in SAO.

Moreover, it was a personal invitation from Lord Heathcliff, Grand Master of the Knights of the Blood Oath; anyone with a modicum of sense would not refuse.

A crowd gradually gathered around.

Do the Knights of the Blood Oath also actively invite people to join?

"But isn't this just too embarrassing? Didn't you see they refused?"

"That's right."

"They keep pestering me."

"However, the Knights of the Blood Oath have recently risen to prominence and become the number one guild, and their power will continue to grow in the future."

……

There were various opinions and discussions.

Regardless of how others view this matter, Asuna will not accept any guild's invitation; she has decided to fight alongside Lin Yan.

Lin Yan is the only 'comrade-in-arms' in the world that is truly trustworthy.

He is exceptionally capable.

And it is trustworthy.

And these seemingly respectable people, who knows what dirty tricks they might pull behind the scenes, especially this forced membership operation, isn't it a bit too unsightly?

The members of the Blood Oath Knights exchanged bewildered glances, and Asuna was unwilling to continue entangled with them.

However, another figure blocked Asuna's path.

"Lady Asuna, this puts us in a very difficult position."

Cladier had been secretly observing the developments, and he was already dissatisfied when he saw that those people had let Asuna leave, so he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

His cunning, three-white-eyed gaze remained fixed on Asuna.

"I have something to do, please move aside."

Although Asuna didn't have a good impression of those people, she felt a sense of disgust the moment she saw Kradil.

The way this person looked at her made her uncomfortable.

It's covered in prickly hair.

"Lady Asuna."

Cladier stopped Asuna once again.

"you!"

Asuna felt that the person in front of her was simply unreasonable, and her eyes were filled with barely concealed impatience and disgust.

Cladier, however, seemed completely oblivious to Asuna's emotional shift.

She still stubbornly stopped him.

"Lady Asuna, please come with me. We mean absolutely no harm. Our Knights of the Blood Oath is the largest strategy guild that fights tooth and nail for all SAO players. You will surely fight alongside us, won't you?"

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any guild."

Asuna refused again.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered, a diverse mix of people. Not everyone in SAO is kind-hearted. Those onlookers, always eager for drama, watched with great enthusiasm.

Some people even shouted.

"Hey, is the Knights of the Blood Oath really that lowly?"

"I got rejected, hahaha."

"A duel? You don't even dare to do that?"

……

Kradil seemed to be provoked by these people, and with a cunning glint in his eyes, he said, "Lady Asuna!"

A prompt appeared in front of Asuna's eyes.

"Kladier has challenged you to a 1-on-1 duel. Are you willing to accept?"

Asuna looked at the glowing text below which were Yes/No and several other options.

"Are you willing to accept my challenge? If I succeed, you must come with me and join the Knights of the Blood Oath."

The people around them became restless again.

No one expected that the Knights of the Blood Oath would take the initiative to launch a challenge.

Below the text that silently emits light are Yes/No and several other options.

Asuna pressed the Yes button and selected "First Strike Mode" from the options.

The rules of this mode are that the first player to hit the opponent with a powerful attack, or the first player to reduce the opponent's HP to less than half, wins.

After the message changed to "You have accepted the challenge to a 1v1 duel with Kradir," a 60-second countdown began below.

The moment the number reaches zero, the HP protection for both sides in the city streets will disappear, and they will fight each other with swords until a winner is determined.

Cladier dramatically drew his sword.

Get into a fighting stance.

"Lady Asuna, then I won't stand on ceremony."

The hilt of the sword in his hand was carved with intricate and ornate patterns, and the entire scabbard was also very ornate, unlike the swords of ordinary people.

As expected of the largest guild.

The countdown starts.

ten seconds.

Nine seconds.

Eight seconds.

……

At this moment, the onlookers became agitated. Some shouted, "It's a duel! Come and see!" while others whistled and yelled loudly.

Asuna observed Cladier with a calm expression.

During this time, Lin Yan taught her some techniques, such as sword skills having offensive and defensive styles, and attacks from above or below.

You can judge the opponent's attack based on a single fleeting gesture.

Kladier leaned forward, lowering his center of gravity.

This is definitely a high-level attack.

1 seconds.

[start.]

The countdown is over.

"DUEL!"

Asuna's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning as she adopted a low-level defensive stance.

A fleeting look of shock crossed Kradir's eyes.

Asuna and Cladier's figures intersected, and in an instant, Asuna guessed Cladier's next move.

He raised his greatsword and swung it towards Asuna.

Asuna seized the initiative, her rapier flashing with a yellow-green light, striking Kradir's greatsword directly, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

When weapons clash with each other, it results in "weapon damage".

Click.

A shrill sound was heard.

Kradir's two-handed sword broke in half, bursting forth with a dazzling light, before shattering into fragments and scattering.

The handle in Kradir's hand also shattered into pieces.

"That was amazing! Was that a targeted sword attack?!"

"My God, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

"What kind of skill is that?"

"What I saw was shocking."

"Win, win."

The people around cheered.

Cladier seemed not to have reacted yet. He paused for a moment, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he uttered in a hoarse voice, "I-Resign."

His eyes, which were mostly white, were bloodshot, as if he couldn't believe that the duel had been lost so easily, and he was still in a state of anger.

Asuna had already disappeared through the crowd.

Only Kradir remained standing, his anger reaching its peak, having originally thought the mission would go smoothly.

"No, I, Kradir, will never admit defeat."

"Kladier said through gritted teeth."

The crowd quickly dispersed, and the members of the Blood Oath Knights looked at Kradir, shocked by his cold gaze.

"Kladier said through gritted teeth."

"I still have a chance."

"The invitation from the Knights of the Blood Oath was rejected?"

"Isn't that the fastest-growing guild?"

"Of course!"

"Founded by Heathcliff, it is known as the strongest guild in SAO and is one of the main forces in the strategy team!"

"Heathcliff is a legendary figure."

"Do you think KoB can just invite my goddess Asuna whenever they want? My goddess is the most beautiful woman in SAO, bar none."

"I sincerely admit that I am a sucker for Asuna-sama's looks."

"Exactly! To die beneath a peony is to be a romantic ghost!"

……

In the SAO world, where players' real-world physical bodies, especially their appearances, are almost completely displayed, Asuna's fame spread instantly throughout the streets and alleys. Asuna has countless fans who are drawn to her looks.

Meanwhile, in [the myriad phenomena of the universe].

Lin Yan took a sip of tea.

Time flies.

He also heard the gossip about Asuna, and he was surprised that Cladier was still so disgusting; he was a sleazy character in the original story. Even though the fate of the storyline changed, Cladier continued to harass Asuna.

this person!

Must die!

However, the most important thing is—
