Chapter 763: 763

Chapter 763: Competing is secondary to protecting

"How about it? Yan-kun, do you have the confidence to solo the Floor Boss one more time? . . . "

A cold gust blew over everyone, chilling their already cold hearts . But, this didn't dowse the flames of anger and hatred for Kayaba Akihiko . Heathcliff's words stopped them from blowing their tops .

They held their breathes . Although they were already short of breath from all these revelations, they couldn't help but stay silent . . .

Asuna, Kirito, Souta, Klein, and Agil also had trouble keeping their breathes under control . They prayed to their respective gods so Wu Yan wouldn't say yes .

They know he's strong, ridiculously so . It is as Heathcliff placed it, he is the strongest player in this game . No one could take the first place away from him because he's in his own class .

They were 100% confident that Wu Yan can come out victorious in a duel if it was just Heathcliff . But, with his stats boosted to a Final Boss', he's not just Heathcliff, he's a player with Floor Boss-level power .

Although Wu Yan achieved a nigh flawless victory in his duel with Heathcliff . Wu Yan admitted to them that he only came out on top because his STR stats outpaced Heathcliff . Even when Heathcliff blocked all his attack, his abnormal strength chipped away Heathcliff's HP .

If they had the same stats back then, not even Wu Yan is sure he can predict the outcome of the duel . . .

With his battle experience and techniques, he is sure he can stay unharmed . But, against Heathcliff's turtle-like stout defense, he is sure he can only get a tie .

With Final Boss stats, Heathcliff will outclass Wu Yan in terms of Strength .

Stats are just as important as battle experience and proficiency with sword techniques .

Can Wu Yan still win under such a condition?

They didn't know, what they do know, however, is that this is going to be dangerous!

"Yan!"

Asuna got so anxious she went against her prohibition to voice her dissent .

"Don't agree to this!"

"Yeah!"

Kirito eyed Heathcliff as he stepped forward .

"If he's the Final Boss, we should all take him on, no players should be allowed to confront him by himself!"

Heathcliff looked at Wu Yan with a calm look .

"Yes, according to the rules of the game . All the players here can fight me at the same time . As far as I am concerned, there are no monsters that issued duel challenges . . . "

Heathcliff chuckled .

"Although, I have a feeling you're not going to say no . . . "

Wu Yan pursed his lips .

"Yeah, what makes you think that? . . . "

"Because you're not a normal player, are you?"

Heathcliff continued .

"No, you're something different, you're a man of a different caliber!"

"You're someone who can act despite all the bloodshed, all the deaths, you're someone who is different from the other players . "

"That is why I am sure you wouldn't turn me down . A strong individual like you would never back down from a proper challenge!"

Heathcliff's words rang inside everyone's head . They weren't sure what they should say . The conversations is going out of their expectation .

Wu Yan's deep-red eyes had a brief flash of amusement . Then, he laughed in a self-derisive manner .

"Heathcliff, you give me too much credit . . . "

Heathcliff frowned but Wu Yan stopped him .

He looked at the ceiling and he spoke with a distant look .

"A hero is someone who does not fear standing up to adversity, resilience and growing stronger step by step, that all comes with the suit . "

"But, I am no hero!"

Wu Yan closed his eyes .

"I am just a guy with a bit of power . I don't have the qualities of a hero . My desire for power is only fueled by one goal!"

"To keep my loved ones safe . . . "

Wu Yan is just an average Otaku before he came into possession of the System . Upon his advent in Silvaria, he grew in power but he never pegged himself as a hero .

He wanted power because might makes right in this unfamiliar world . Then, the girls came into his life, literally, their life force got merged with his . . .

Without sufficient strength, his death would mean the death of girls who are intrinsically linked with him .

His life didn't belong to just him .

"Yan . . . "

Asuna clasped her hands together . She heard his heartfelt words and she got lost in her own feelings .

Asuna felt a strong urge to understand the real Wu Yan . She wanted to learn more about his past . She wanted to know what motivated the man who opened the door to her heart .

Kirito and the others were speechless . It is only now that they feel the weight upon the shoulders of the man who had strength they could never imagine .

Heathcliff laughed with a jovial attitude .

"I see, so that's how you attained your current strength . I can see where you're coming from . The desire to protect the ones you love, huh? Indeed, that can make you very strong!"

"Then, Yan-kun . . . "

He looked at Asuna .

"With this, I am sure you won't turn me down, right?"

Wu Yan sighed .

"To protect Asuna, the better choice would be to gang up on you with the other clearers!"

"That's regrettable, I don't know how to come up with a logical answer . . . "

Heathcliff tilted his head .

"I am just going with my guts!"

"What an irresponsible answer coming from a researcher . . . "

Wu Yan chuckled .

He drew Heavengazer while Heathcliff took out the sword within his cross-shaped shield . The others recognized what they were going to do even without a referee to call it .

"Yan . . . "

Asuna's palm started sweating .

"Believe me, Asuna . . . "

Wu Yan took out Elucidator too .

" I am definitely going to return you to the real world!"

Asuna looked at Wu Yan's firm back and she nodded with a resolute expression .

"I believe in you, Yan!"

"You . . . "

Kirito, Souta, Klein, and Agil gave up on talking him out of this duel . They yelled at him .

"Don't you dare lose!"

"Of course!"

Wu Yan defiantly raised his head .

"I haven't lost once, to players or bosses!"

Heathcliff lost his cool side . He laughed out loud as a heavy aura rained down on everyone .

Then, the figure in black and the figure in red disappeared from their respective spots!

Bang

The sound of intense collision reverberated in the throne room .
