Chapter 201 - Chapter 199: Fall

Fate World

Among the ruins on the Mesopotamian plains, shining gold sat upon a forged throne.

"Amateurs, show me your Integrity!"

"How could this mere fake ever be your opponent!"

Gilgamesh looked upon the giant sword that terrified countless people with utter disdain. A monster created from over thirty imitation swords, no matter how powerful, could never compare to the genuine Noble Phantasm!

Shirou Emiya, far away in Fuyuki City, suddenly sneezed and looked around in confusion.

Why did he always feel like someone was talking about him?....

Sword Art Online World

The Integrity Knights couldn't think of a way to fight the Sword Giant for the moment. Even if all the Integrity Knights were present, they probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Everyone even stopped moving forward.

At the Highest Level of the Central Cathedral

The Highest Priest stared expressionlessly at Eugeo; this guy actually dared to deceive her.

Unexpectedly, he could resist her temptation.

This willpower was so tenacious; no wonder he could become so strong in such a short time.

"What clever acting... But you only make me desire you more!"

"Eugeo...".....

[Screen continues]

[Alice was very confused about the Complete Armament Control technique that could fuse over thirty swords together....]

[The bond between sword and wielder was essential; otherwise, the sword couldn't exert its original power!]

[The Highest Priest wasn't impatient at all, but looked at her mockingly...]

["The answer is right before you... Eugeo should already know~"]

[Eugeo stared at the ceiling and suddenly realized that those luminous crystals weren't just decorations but fragments of people's memories!]

[The Highest Priest had actually sealed the emotional memories of three hundred people on the ceiling!]

[However, due to restrictions, the Sword Giant had almost no intelligence. It was merely searching for people close to it, fighting and killing endlessly!]....

"Bastard! Quinella!"

"Have you really gone this far for your own control?"

Cardinal truly hadn't expected her to use such demonic methods!

How had such a monster come into being in this world!

She thought she, Kirito, and the three of them could defeat the Highest Priest!

But the reality was, three hundred people plus her crushed them!

What was more important was that the Sword Giant's weapons were human, and she couldn't kill people....

One Piece World, Inside Marine Headquarters

Akainu: "Such evil shall be punished by justice!"

Lava erupted from his body with a sizzling sound, thick smoke spreading around!

Sengoku appeared beside him, glanced at him, and whispered, "Seeing someone weaker than you, you think you can handle it?"

Akainu's face stiffened; he would never admit such a thing. He snorted coldly and said righteously, "...Hmph! My justice will definitely eradicate any evil!"

Garp squinted his eyes and stared at Sengoku. This guy now saw someone weaker than him and strutted around. Once he saw someone he couldn't resist, he'd lie down directly....

"Sengoku, you're no different from Akainu!"

"I'm the Fleet Admiral!"

He wasn't a bastard like the Highest Priest but a good Fleet Admiral who truly considered the people....

[On Screen]

[Cardinal sacrificed herself to give them a chance to retreat....]

[Black lightning condensed in the air and struck her violently, scorching every part of her body with just one strike....]

[BOOM!!!]

[The Highest Priest continued to release black lightning, striking Cardinal...]

["Ah ha ha ha ha——"]

[Her sharp laughter was extremely grating, piercing deeply into Kirito's heart. He hated himself for being so cowardly and unable to do anything!]

[At that moment, he couldn't stop... He feared the power of the Sword Giant... Fear, panic, and other emotions affected Kirito. At that moment, he could no longer imagine himself as the Black Swordsman....]

[BOOM!!!]

["Goodbye, Cardinal!"]

[As the last lightning struck, smoke and dust rose from the ground. Cardinal's body was completely destroyed by the lightning!]

[Kirito held the dying Cardinal, tears in his eyes....]...

"Hahaha, my daughter, you finally died by my hand?"

"This fate of hundreds of years is finally over!"

"Comfortable, so comfortable. I haven't experienced this kind of joyful feeling in a long time!"

The Highest Priest laughed maniacally. No matter how beautiful her face, it became as ugly as a demon at that moment! After hundreds of years of struggle, she had finally won. Indeed, she was the true god!

If this continued, she would be able to attack the real world sooner or later. She had to leave here before the people on that side restarted the world!

In SAO

Kirito punched the ground in frustration. The powerful force reduced his HP a bit, and red light particles filled the surrounding area.

Was he still so useless, just watching others die before him?

"Kirito-kun! I'll face it with you!"

Asuna quickly stopped him, held him in her arms, and comforted him continuously....

[On Screen]

[Eugeo stared blankly at the crystals on the ceiling....]

[He desperately thought of a solution and remembered the Blue Rose Sword in the land of ice and snow. Only by making herself extremely hard could she break through the Sword Giant's body!]

[Suddenly, Eugeo seemed to hear something, as if being called. His mind was drawn to a painting on the ceiling....]

[It was a fairy tale...]

[It was the little blonde girl's love for the world. Eugeo felt everything the little girl felt....]

[In an instant, he understood what he should do...]....

"So this is my mission..."

"To protect the world Alice loves..."

After seeing this scene, Eugeo understood a lot and was no longer afraid of death.

If he could protect them, even death was worth it!

Kirito looked at Eugeo worriedly. He was definitely going to do something reckless, something life-threatening!

They had to find a better way to fight the Highest Priest!

Only now did he realize it was little Alice's memory fragment, the same little Alice who had spoken to him at the beginning!.....

[On Screen]

[Eugeo walked toward Cardinal with firm eyes and asked her to turn him into a sword!]

[Cardinal agreed to his request and gave him the last of her power...]

[Eugeo stood up, and light shot from his icy blue eyes to the ceiling....]

[Then a piece of crystal fell, and the blurred figure of little Alice appeared again!]

[Eugeo was wrapped in a ball of purple thread and began to merge with the Blue Rose Sword....]

["Damn it, what are you trying to do!"]

[The Highest Priest realized something was wrong, broke her oath on the spot, condensed a sword in her hand, and charged at Eugeo!]

["I won't let you succeed!"]

[Alice waved her golden petals to deflect the black lightning!]

[At that moment, Eugeo transformed into a pure white giant sword dozens of meters long!]

[BUZZ!!!]

[Eugeo's entire body emitted a holy radiance and charged at the Sword Giant. Even the Sword Giant had to defend passively against such immense power!]

[BOOM! BOOM!]

[The light wings on both sides of the sword burst with extreme power, spinning continuously in the air, and instantly pierced the Sword Giant's crystal core!]

[In an instant, the purple crystal began to crack until the entire sword body disintegrated!]

[BOOM!!!]

[The remains of the giant sword scattered everywhere!]

[But it wasn't over yet!!!]

[The pure white wings of light stirred again and rushed toward the Highest Priest!]

[BOOM!!!]

[Black lightning erupted from the Highest Priest's sword to resist him!]

[The collision between sword and lightning caused a violent explosion, and black arcs continued to destroy the surroundings!]

[BOOM!]

[The Highest Priest was knocked back by the sword. Anger surged in her heart, and she could no longer remain calm!]

["Kid!!!"]

[The sword tips collided again, causing an even more violent explosion. Strong air currents blew everyone around!]

[CRACK...]

[The tip of the sword Eugeo had transformed into began to crumble until it completely shattered....]

[But at the last moment, he severed the Highest Priest's right hand!]

[Eugeo fell to the ground, his abdomen slashed open, blood gushing. The Blue Rose Sword used its last bit of strength to seal the wound with ice....]

[The Blue Rose Sword also followed its master... shattering...]....

King Arthur walked toward the center of the Round Table, his sword planted in the ground. His expression showed no trace of sadness, only admiration!

"Everyone, draw your swords for Knight Eugeo!"

The twelve Knights of the Round Table raised their swords high, offering the highest respect to this brave young knight!

Knights from all over the world offered the highest courtesy to Eugeo!

Those spiritual weapons emitted a trilling sound, as if bidding farewell to the Blue Rose Sword.....

[On Screen]

[The traumatized Kirito collapsed on the ground in fear...]

[The Highest Priest walked up to him with a ferocious smile, brandishing a sharp sword, intending to kill Kirito!]

[At that moment, a golden figure appeared before them. This scene seemed so familiar....]

[He had been so powerless back then. Should he give up now? Should he still let others block the sword for him?]

[Hadn't he already promised he would never do this again?]

[Kirito's anger transformed into fighting spirit and erupted once more. He stood up and blocked the Highest Priest's attack with one sword!]

[BOOM!!!]

[Orange sparks scattered, and the three quickly bounced away!]

[The jet-black coat appeared on his body again. The Black Swordsman Kirito had returned!!!]

[The dark sword was swung out instantly but was easily blocked by the Highest Priest. He was injured by her four consecutive strikes!]

[Immediately after, the rapier's extremely fast attacks fell on him like rain, leaving several wounds on his chest!]

[Kirito kept retreating and healing his injuries. Her Aincrad moves were beyond his expectations!]

[No matter which move Kirito used, he was easily defeated and knocked down next to Eugeo....]

[Eugeo looked exhausted and handed the blood-stained Blue Rose Sword to him with a smile....]

[Kirito took the sword, looked at the unconscious Eugeo, and angrily charged at the Highest Priest!]

[At this moment!]

[The Black-Suited Devil of the Dual Blades style returns!]

[The sharp dual swords struck the constantly defending Highest Priest and even knocked her back with the Blood Rose Sword!]

[The expression on the Highest Priest's face gradually turned ferocious. She, who had integrated all sword skills, was actually at a disadvantage?]

["Trivial skills... Little tricks!!!"]

[The Black Sword emitted red light, and so did the opponent's!]

["AHHHHHHH——"]

[The two instantly stabbed each other in the arm...]

[PFFT—blood spurted out, and both arms fell....]

["Damn it!!!!"]

[The Highest Priest roared angrily, entangled Kirito with her hair, and lifted him into the air!]

[But Kirito still had one arm left. The Blood Rose Sword pierced her chest!]

[Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and the Highest Priest's body began to collapse!]

[BOOM!!!]

[The ground was destroyed by this force, exploding with a bang. Two air currents flung both sides away!]

[The Highest Priest planned to leave to survive...]

[But before leaving, she was caught by the elder who was supposed to be dead. Blazing fire burned them both....]

[The Highest Priest was finally tricked by the elder...]

[Kirito hurriedly came to Eugeo's side, but he had run out of energy and finally died before Kirito....]

[Self-blame and guilt filled Kirito's entire chest, causing him immense pain!]

[Kirito found the console and connected to the outside world, but continuous gunshots came from outside....]

[Kikuoka asked Kirito to take Alice to the World's End Altar!]

[Suddenly, a burst of sound waves came from the sky and struck Kirito, causing a mental blow....]

["Kirito-kun!"]

[Kirito vaguely saw Asuna falling....]

[Until he slowly closed his eyes...]
