Summoner of Miracles

In either RPG, duel is one of the systems that will be considered for inclusion.

While a number of games do not allow "PK" behavior, dueling with the consent of both parties is a feature of many RPG games.

After all, it's just as boring to fight monsters all the time, and if players and players can compete with each other and compare their game skills, it will undoubtedly add a lot of fun.

So even in a world like SAO, there are duel systems.

Outside the circle, if the players are so unauthorized in PK, the first player to attack will be given the offender's attributes and the color buoy will turn orange and will not be able to enter the circle.

Inside the circle, players are unable to commit any criminal acts and belong to a safe area.

However, if it is a duel, it can be done both within and outside the circle.

Under such circumstances, the attacker will not become an orange name as long as both parties agree.

During the encapsulation and testing period, players often use duels to test their sword skills, organize events, or use them as a way to resolve disputes.

However, since the SAO became officially operational and turned into a death game, duel has become a prohibited act.

The reason, of course, is that if HP goes to zero, there will be a real death.

In this way, naturally no player will fight without permission, and only those named Orange players with bad intentions will want to use the dueling system to commit homicide.

Although players who knew HP was going to die when it came to zero would not easily agree to a duel, SAO's duel was designed in three modes.

The first is the mode of battle until HP returns to zero - the Complete Win mode.

The second is the mode where the battle ends with the other half of HP - the Half Lost and Lost mode.

The third is the pattern that ends when the opponent is hit with a strong attack - the "first-strike winning mode".

In the encapsulation period, few players are willing to choose between too simple a first-strike winning and losing mode and a semi-loss winning and losing mode that will make people uncomfortable. Once officially in operation, a complete winning mode becomes a real taboo, and no player chooses to fight with this mode.

So, even if there is some unresolved dispute, players will only choose the semi-loss or first-strike winning mode to duel.

But in the two remaining models, there is no risk of death at all.

For example, a half-loss losing mode of duel ends when one of the two sides of the duel has less than 50% HP. In the circle, when a window displaying the results of the duel appears, the player's continued attacks are blocked and deactivated by the protection of the system. Outside the circle, the damage value continues to add up, but this constitutes a crime and becomes an orange player.

This sounds safe, but if a player has 1000 HP, with 510 left, they are attacked with enough damage to cause 600 damage, and HP drops to zero immediately.

And even if it's a duel, once HP turns 0, the player dies as usual.

Opposite attackers, because they are attacked in duel mode, do not become orange names even if they kill players.

This pattern was used by Orange Names players and even Orange Names Guild, which killed many players and was once alarming.

In summary, the half-loss losing mode has also been tabooed and no player will be blindly selected.

That leaves only the last pattern.

“First-strike winning and losing mode. ”

On one of the unmanned squares in the main block on the 24th floor, Hizcliffe, wearing a red robe with a cross shield, looked at Rojin across the street and sounded full of magnetism.

“When one party has half of its HP value, or when it gives a strong attack, it's okay to separate the wins and losses, right? ”

Hearing Hizcliffe's words, Rozhen, standing opposite him, making fun of the colored butterflies and flowers flying beside him, did not answer, while Yasina, present in the name of watching the war, took the lead.

“But, Captain, is there a risk in the first-strike winning/losing model as well? ”

As Yasna said, even the first-strike winning and losing model is risky.

For example, a dueling party that does not use an attack that is judged to be "powerful" weakens each other's HP values until the other party's HP value is half a mile away, and then launches a strong attack that is sufficient to take away all of its remaining HP, will also create the same risk of death as a half-loss losing mode.

It's just...

“That must have both sides thinking of killing each other, deliberately controlling themselves, and not making a strong attack. If only one person has the idea of killing each other, it must not only control itself, but also have enough technology to see through and avoid the other's powerful attacks. Isn't that very difficult? ”

Hizcliffe's face remained unchanged.

“It is therefore very difficult to complete homicide in a first-strike win-win mode, and this is already the safest way to refuse a duel if you cannot. ”

After that, Hizcliffe glanced at Roseanne.

That's probably what you mean by, "Are you gonna do this?"

Ro really didn't answer.

“Let's get started. ”

In such a sentence, Roger told everyone about his choice.

“ ………… ”

Yasna stopped talking, just stared closely at the scene and had no idea what she was thinking.

Hizcliffe, on the other hand, smiled, looked at Rojin, and at the two rainbow butterflies dancing beside him, his fingers in a smooth motion to summon the main menu and manipulate it.

The next second, there was a window in front of Rosie.

“Player -" Heathcliff "- has asked you for a 1VS1 duel, do you accept it? ”

Looking at this window, Lo really doesn't hesitate to click the "YES" button and select the last of the three pop-up "Complete Win Mode", "Semi-Loss Win Mode" and "First Hit Win Mode" options - "First Hit Win Mode".

“Ding!”

A huge window immediately appeared between Rozhen and Hizcliffe, with a 60-second countdown.

At this moment...

“Choke!”

In the crisp sound, Luo Zhen pulled out his single-handed sword worn between his waist.

“…”

On the other hand, Hizcliffe slowly pulled his weapon out of the cross shield he was equipped with.

It's a sword that's even thinner than Lo really imagined.

However, it should not be a thin sword, but a one-handed sword like Rojin's.

“A one-handed sword and a cross shield? ”

Ro really pressed his body down.

Though it seemed like a very formal one-handed sword to equip it, Corozhen concealed that it didn't seem that simple.

“Goo!”

“Whoo!”

The colored butterfly and the flower butterfly, as if they could perceive the solemnity in Luo Zhenxin's heart, shouted while entering the state of battle as well.

Looking at the two men confronting each other, aside, Yasna remained silent, but her hand did not know when to hold the handle of the sword between her waists, still pressing hard.

As such, the countdown has been ongoing.

“————" DUEL "————”

When such a window replaced the countdown and appeared in the middle of Rozhen and Hizcliffe, they stepped on the ground at the same time and stormed out.

The duel of the presidents of the two guilds was officially launched here.
