Fate World
"Bercouli... May the sun's rays shine upon you..."
The wise knight Gawain planted his holy sword into the ground, eyes lowered, looking with regret at Bercouli's passing.
If they were in that world, perhaps they would have become friends.
"I hope your immortal light can continue to be passed on..."
"May the holy light feathers bless your soul..."
The pure knight Galahad closed his eyes slightly, tears sliding down his cheeks...
As a knight, Bercouli fulfilled his duty to protect his people.
As a foster father, he fulfilled a father's duty, protecting Alice with his life....
"Gentlemen, draw your swords..."
The holy swords were raised high...
With the highest courtesy, they praised the immortal light of the Knight Commander!...
Overlord World
Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the Knight Commander and thought of the Warrior Captain he had met not long ago.
They were equally powerful, and both wished to protect others...
It would be wonderful if they could come to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
I'm sure Touch Me would be very happy...
Ainz once again thought of the companions he would never see again...
Sword Art Online World
At the Top of the Tower
Bercouli calmly looked at his own end.
If he died protecting others, then he felt no loss.
"That's great, little girl... you're safe!"
Finally, he could hear her call him "Father" in her dreams; that was enough...
"Fanatio... I'm sorry..."
If there was anyone he could feel sorry for, it was Fanatio. He wouldn't be able to overcome difficulties with her...
Take good care of the child...
Beneath the Tower...
"Uncle..."
Alice's eyes were already wet, the corners red, her vision blurred by hot tears, her lips trembling uncontrollably...
She couldn't accept the death of those closest to her...
From the time she was kidnapped to her days in the Axiom Church, he was the one who had taught her.
To Alice, he was even closer than her biological father...
"Dark God! Vecta! Qubli! Sutu! Da!"
"No! Gabriel!"
Alice's furious gaze was fixed on the light screen. Though he had disappeared, the rage in her heart had already pierced the heavens!
"Alice, at least he's still alive now, right?..."
Kirito patted Alice's head...
As long as they weren't dead, there was a chance to change things. This time, it mustn't be like the future!
They must never let anyone die needlessly again!....
[Screen continues]
[Sinon rushed over. Seeing this scene, she knew she was too late....]
[And she told Alice the cruel truth: Vecta might still be alive...]
[Alice was unwilling to accept this. Her uncle had fought with all his might, only to die in a one-sided manner. This was simply a farce....]
[She grabbed Sinon with both hands, crying bitterly. She didn't understand why this had happened....]
[Sinon looked at her and murmured softly: "Then, Alice... do you think Kirito is fake?"]
["It's true that Kirito is injured in this world... It's also true his soul is damaged..."]
[Sinon's eyes kept reflecting Kirito's figure; her love almost overflowed....]
["I... like Kirito... I really like him!"]
["Kirito was injured protecting you... I think the Knight Commander was the same..."]
[Alice turned to look at her uncle's body and decided to go alone to the World's End Altar, to the real world....]...
Issei Hyoudou: "Girls who dare to love and hate are truly enviable. I hope they are all well..."
Makoto Itou: "I don't have any clear thoughts..."
Lisbeth: "I never expected Sinon to hide it so deeply! Alice, you must stay strong! Kirito will definitely save them!"
Silica: "I believe they can change this outcome in the future!"
To them, Kirito was an omnipotent superman!
??? : "I thought... I understood..."....
[On Screen]
[People from the real world and the Underworld struggled to resist the waves of incoming players...]
[There were simply too many. Even if individually strong, they couldn't withstand such attrition...]
[Suddenly, Alice saw a black figure on a stone pillar that looked familiar. She pulled Klein and pointed at him...]
["You said he looks familiar... That kind of cloak..."]
[Klein seemed to remember something, his pupils shrank, and he trembled uncontrollably, disbelief on his face...]
["Impossible... that kind of thing... Am I seeing a ghost?.."]
[The man in black took out a kitchen knife, placed it on his shoulder, and grinned ferociously at Asuna and the others...]
["It's PoH!!!"]
[As Klein's words fell, those who had experienced the SAO incident broke into a cold sweat, their fear gradually amplifying!]...
Members of Laughing Coffin: "As expected of the leader, just appearing before them terrifies the raid team members!"
Poison Dagger Johnny: "Hahaha! Did you see that? This is the deterrent power of our Laughing Coffin!"
Red-Eyed Shasta: "Boss... without us... can't experience that kind of fun..."
Death Guns: "I never expected the leader to be so obsessed with this outfit!"
Kitchen Knife Vassago: "Let me experience the fun! Flashy! Black Swordsman!"
Countless Laughing Coffin fans were ecstatic. This was the pinnacle of their belief!....
[On Screen]
[Countless players arrived again. This time, they weren't just from America...]
[But also some players from the Dragon Kingdom...]
[And casual players from the Choi Bang Ja Country...]
[PoH emitted black smoke—his Incite ability...]
[The players were infected by the black smoke, everyone filled with righteous indignation, completely treating the Underworld inhabitants as enemies!]
[Asuna continued to resist the players' fierce attacks...]
[She wanted to use terrain alteration, but her brain could no longer bear it. Blood gushed from deep in her throat, and she collapsed weakly on the ground...]
[Though they resisted desperately, they still couldn't prevent being overrun...]
[Asuna and the others were surrounded by players...].....
Dragon Kingdom Players: "We won't take the blame! This simplified script is definitely not ours!"
"Besides, we don't have that kind of eloquence, and the number of people is too small!"
American Players: "You Dragon Kingdom players are quibbling!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Island Nation Players: "You're not fair at all!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Bangzi Country Players: "We're not bad at all; we're all high-level players! We follow all the rules!"
Players from Various Countries: "Have you no shame?".....
[On Screen]
[PoH lifted his cloak, revealing his true face. His ferocious expression filled everyone with fear...]
[Asuna stared at him trembling, asking what his purpose was...]
[His answer was that he simply wanted Asuna and the others to become murderers...]
[At that moment, a red player roughly pushed a wheelchair before PoH. The junior swordswoman kept chasing after them, tears streaming, unable to stop these people...]
[She hated her own weakness. Why was she always protected by others, yet unable to protect Senior Kirito?...]
[PoH felt extremely displeased seeing Kirito like this. His beloved Black Swordsman had become like this!]
[He was utterly disappointed!]
[The cold blade was ready to kill Kirito...]
[Suddenly... a black shadow like the wind rushed out!]
[Blocking PoH's butcher knife...]...
"Sooner or later, I'll become as powerful as Lord Knight!"
Junior swordswoman Ronye clasped her small hands, eyes firm. She no longer wanted to be so weak!
To one day be able to help Senior Kirito!
She needed the most rigorous training now.
And so did Tiese beside her; she no longer slacked off. Sword skills—become an Integrity Knight as soon as possible!...
[On Screen]
[The black-clad boy revealed his face. The purple sword rushed swiftly at PoH, his fierce sword skills forcing him back...]
["Who are you?!"]
[Klein found him familiar. This guy had beaten him up before!]
["Eiji?!"]
[Eiji rushed at PoH at top speed, striking with lethal moves, each sword strike deadly!]
[CLANG!]
[PoH knocked him back. Black smoke enveloped the kitchen knife. Grinning, he ran at Eiji and slashed down!]
[BOOM!!!]
[The original kitchen knife instantly enlarged. The immense force suppressed Eiji, forcing him back...]
["Just stay down, little guy!"]
[THUD!]
[Eiji was sent flying by this powerful force, rolling several times on the ground...]
[The eyes of those controlled by Incite turned scarlet, walking toward Eiji...]
[At this critical moment, a massive purple beam of light appeared before everyone!]
[Transforming into a girl...]
["Yuna..."]
[The girl looked tenderly at the boy and said loudly: "Reiji, I've kept you waiting!"]
[Yuna's singing transformed into power and concentrated on Eiji!]
[In an instant!]
[BUFFs fully charged!]
