Chapter 22: The Duel
As the countdown starts, both of them turned their posture into a battle stance.
3... 2... 1...
0!
Both of them rushed into each other, both of them were fast. However, Bell was a little bit faster, and that little could be enough in most battles.
As their blades clashed, more and more players started to watch the match. Even Agil came out of his shop to know what's ruckus all about, and he saw Be— I mean Kane and Kirito in a duel with his own eyes.
Agil knows that Kirito is strong but, there's something strange about that kid, Kane. Something he can't explain, more like full of mysteries.
As they have been fighting in 6 minutes, they stopped but not the duel, only themselves.
"You're strong even though you don't looked like one." Kirito said the truth.
"Yeah, you too. All right, let's get serious!" Bell said in a loud voice.
"Stop this duel right now!" Agil appeared right were the two are.
Agil doesn't want the duel to continue any more is because when Kirito is serious in a battle, he can't be stopped that easily.
But, the two continued the battle.
In their fight, none of them had damaged each other, all are blocked and dodge. The other players are only watching in astonishment as they can't just request them in a duel, they will surely die.
They stopped again after 5 minutes, they were getting faster and faster as they are going from half to full power.
"All right, that's enough for warm up." Bell said and removed his weights on his body which is just his armor that was more heavy than before.
Bell threw his armor away, a loud sound of heavy metal object was heard from the armor. Players were more astonished than ever as they saw him removed his armor and just dropped it down. Well, no one would dare to pick it up anyway.
"Okay, time for full power. But, are you sure to fight me without armor?" Kirito asked about the armor and was being careful to not to kill him.
"Hm? Armor? It maybe an armor but it was just a weight for me." Bell answered and shrugged his shoulders.
"Stop... I said, STOP!!" Agil's shout made some of the players scared.
"This is a duel, and you know that." Kirito said to Agil.
"Yeah, it's just a duel. I can handle myself you know. Plus, you should be worrying about what I want you to make me, you know?" Bell made Agil remember about the weapon he wants using the magic crystals.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." then he rushed back in his two-storey shop.
And the battle continued. Both of them has been holding back but the players around them, they just saw something new, someone so strong, they are even too.
However, even as they seem to be, Bell has the upper hand with his power up transformations.
In floor 50 of the Aincrad, there are only few players are above this floor, not even a thousand, On the other side or downside, I say, there were more players reaching thousands.
***
Somewhere, in floor 55, at a headquarters. A man was sitting below a red banner that has a sword resembling a cross, and at the bottom was acronym of a guild, KOB.
Then, a group of knights appeared right after the door opened, they were around 6. All were male except one.
"Did you call us, Captain?" said the girl (idk how he was called i don't have much time in watching. So, tell in the comment how his members address him. For now, Captain will suffice, I guess?)
"I want all of you to go to Algade." ordered the man.
"Alright, we'll go there right away after we finished preparing." said one of the knights.
"No, I want all of you to use teleport crystal." he said.
"Was it urgent?" another knight asked.
"I have feeling that there are players who are strong enough to be a member of our guild." he said.
The knights said no more and walked their way out.
All of them were carrying teleport crystal and used it. After a few seconds, all of them were teleported in Algade's Teleport Gate.
They walked their way at the center, but they met lots of players crowded at the center of Algade.
As they were passing through to see what was the commotion all about. They heard some players talking about two players that were dueling, and both of them were all strong.
The players then realized that the members of Knights of Blood were just right behind them and gave them a way.
When they successfully passed through the players, they saw two players duelling and fighting at their limits or seems like it.
They were shocked to see strong players dueling at high level. But, when they saw them, they thought they found two worthy players to join their guild.
"Alright, let's finish this in one blow." Bell rather suggested it rather than prolong it any further.
Kirito only nodded and activated a soill that seemed to be able to strengthen the next attack. In response, Bell activated his FSSJ form and imbued his sword with his ki just like trunks did.
When the two have charged their attacks, both of them rushed and did their last attack. Then,...
BOOM!
An explosion happened right in front of the players. Some, flew backwards and some were stomped by the fying players. The KOB are able to withstand the force of the explosion.
Dust everywhere.
Then, the dust settled and now they see two shadows, and those two were none other than Kirito and Bell.
Bell's sword was broken in the clash. Actually, Bell only took the hit with his sword and defeated Kirito easily with speed. He's carrying Kirito's sword and hold it.
The Knights of Blood saw them leaving and stopped them.
"Wait, stop! Would you like to join our guild?" asked by the girl.
"Hm... We might ended up joining a guild, but no thanks." Bell rejected in a good manner way. "Plus, were exhausted. Could you let us be on our way?"
