No one's POV

Currently, Nhazul was hiding in Agil's shop away from all the people who had found out about his [Unique EX Skill], [Celestial Blades]. Due to this, they wanted to ask him questions, as Agil and Kirito were reading an article that a player had made.

Agil: "The Army's great warriors were annihilated by a Blue Demon. And two who both defeated it was a [Dual Bladed Wolf], utilizing 50 hit combos."

Kirito: This really got blown out of proportions. ..

Nhazul: ...-_-... That much is an understatement... It was 27 hits, not 50... There's a limit how much a story can be embellished. And because of that, I've been stalked by swordsmen and information brokers all day...so I can't even stay in my rooms anymore....

Lisbeth: Aren't you just reaping what you sowed?

Nhazul looked back and saw Lisbeth walking in with a box in her hands.

Lisbeth: Since you spilled the beans despite saying it's our little secret.

3 days later, after the creation of Nhazul's [Oathkeeper], Nhazul used one of the [Celestial Blades] Sword skills to demonstrate his secret skill to Lisbeth after she asked why he needed another sword. Nhazul requested for Lisbeth to not tell anyone about the skill.

As Lisbeth just smirked at Nhazul, he just rolled his eyes when suddenly, Asuna came running in.

Asuna: What should we do? Nhazul! Kirito! This is terrible!

(Timeskip)

Currently, Nhazul, Kirito and Asuna are in the Knights of the Blood's headquarters on Floor 55 and they are standing in front of the leader of the guild, Heathcliff.

Heathcliff: I believe this is our first time meeting outside a boss fight

Heathcliff: I believe this is our first time meeting outside a boss fight. Isn't, Kirito?

Kirito: No, we spoke before during the 67th Floor's boss raid conference, Commander Heathcliff.

Heathcliff: Thar was a difficult battle. We nearly suffered casualties then. Despite being hailed as the top guild, our strength is always barley sufficient. Even so, you're trying to take away one of our precious and vital members.

Kirito: If she's precious, you should take more care in selecting escorts.

Heathcliff: I apologize for any trouble that Kuradeel has caused you. But regardless, we can't just say, " Oh, I understand" after having our vice commander taken away. Kirito. If you insist to win her with your sword, your [Dual Blades]. If you defeat me in a duel, we will relinquish Asuna to you. But should you lose, you most join the Knights of the Blood.

Kirito: Very well. If you want to let our swords do the talking, I have no problems with that. Let's settle this with a duel.

Heathcliff: Then we're at an agreement then.
