Kirito, Leafa and Asuna were speechless for a moment after hearing Kizmel's words. Although they could roughly guess what was going on, they could not answer.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Kizmel smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I am here to use the last spell to open a direct path to the Holy Tree for you. Mr. Kirito, maybe you can
The swordsman who wields the divine sword passed down from generation to generation has a way around it all."
"If there are fallen fairies, won't they guard against spells?" Leafa asked.
"The fallen goblins have lost the protection of the holy tree because they tried to seize the power of the holy tree. They can't do anything about it, so originally this should be a war between us and the fairies of the forest. Unexpectedly... Alas,
Not much to say, there is not much time left, let’s get started.”
Kizmel began to recite a spell, and the interlaced plants in front of them that formed a maze-like terrain automatically gave way to a path. Not only that, but also formed a tunnel-like protective circle as if to prevent them from being discovered by monsters.
However, like some kind of immune system being triggered, magic bullets rained down from the sky.
Kizmel fell...

"Well, well, well, the stage prepared for me is quite grand. But why does it have to be designed into a mode where players can choose branches according to the results of the battle? Al, I even learned a lot of Academy City computer technology
I can’t even control the sunflowers.”
Crownpis stood on the inside of the holy tree, on a large altar with a six-pointed star pattern, and six secret keys embedded in six grooves.
Although the conditions for the activation of the Holy Tree itself were not met, Crounpis forcibly integrated the demon soul crystal obtained from the last mission related to "One Thousand and One Nights" into the Holy Tree, causing it to awaken and demonize.
Subject to one's own compulsory control.
In this way, all the conditions for the ritual are met. After doing all this, Otohime's plan to bring Aincrad to the world can be advanced in one go to the point where it can be carried out at any time after the strategy is completed. The only thing left is how to buffer that moment.
The problem of time and space damage caused by the impact on the present world.
However, she still has to deal with the trouble al brought to her.
She turned around and looked at the passage opened by Kizmel. In this way, didn't the group of monsters guarding the outside and the defense line of fallen fairies in the inner circle become completely meaningless?
Kirito in front, Asuna and Leafa on either side behind him, stepped onto the edge of the altar.
"Alas," Crounpis sighed and said, "there is actually a dark elf willing to use this power for the human race. Coupled with the entrusted magic sword, your relationship with the dark elf is really not that good.
.” Anyway, let’s act according to the script.
Kirito: "This can be considered a blessing to you and the evil god. If these crises hadn't forced them into a desperate situation, they wouldn't have pinned their hopes on people like us mercenaries. To tamper with the memory of the great sage.
Does what adds credibility to your words have anything to do with you, or is it your handiwork?"
Crounpis: "Alas, what virtue can others have? Of course it is my handiwork."
"This is to continue the ritual of 'cutting off the earth'! Why are we doing this to cause such tragedies!" Asuna asked sharply.
"How did you know what is going on here? Even the forest fairies and dark fairies don't know this." Crounpis rubbed her hair in annoyance, pretending to suddenly realize, "Tsk, it's stuck again.
God Dinard, for the sake of balance, he never gives me a sufficient chance of winning. No matter how well-prepared he is, he has to use the [Phantom Book Technique] to give the guys who want to thwart me more information and a certain amount of vitality, so I really hate it.
That guy. It just so happens that as soon as the ceremony ends, the [Phantom Book Technique] and [Far Book Technique] that are lost spells, as well as the big barrier that inexplicably takes special care of human cities, will all disappear, yes, that’s right...
…”
Kirito: "What good will this do to you? Will you gain more invincible power?"
Crown Pease: "This is true in one aspect. But are you willing to listen to my explanation? As a delaying tactic, I am happy to tell the truth. Anyway, there is no next time."
The three of them had no intention of calling right away.
So, Crownpis continued: "My purpose is to prevent war and achieve peace. My introduction to the ancient world structure is not deceiving, but relative peace is a matter within each race, because the human race and the Asian race
There are a large number of people, and it is true to say that it is peaceful, but the population of our fairy tribe is relatively sparse. You and Kizmel have a good relationship, so you should notice that the fairies have to disguise themselves when entering the town. The relationship between humans and fairies has been so bad from the beginning.
If we cut off the earth and divide it into hundreds of layers, completely separate the administration and communities of humans and demihumans, and reduce them to a level where they cannot threaten each other and cannot communicate normally, wouldn't the world be peaceful?"
Asuna: "This peace is too twisted."
Crownpiss: "But it's very effective. Although the 'Heroes' I lied about fighting alongside me last time were in the way and the 'Earth Cut' ended half-heartedly, it successfully preserved the prosperity of the Fairy Tribe.
There has indeed never been another war in the world. Well, the goblin clan, the only country that has retained a complete country, fell into division and civil war. This was beyond my expectation, but it is reasonable.
"However, this peace will only last until you human adventurers come. You have divided the world's regions yourself, and there are constant struggles among you, and you have also involved the residents of this world. To completely become your enemy, you must rely on force to completely defeat you.
To expel you, we have to unite the power of all Aincrad, but Aincrad, which has passed half of the 'earth cut', cannot do this. This is the proverb from your side - shooting yourself with a rock.
Fortunately, you have basically no nostalgia for this world, and most of you have no sense of unity. As long as you are given a reward, you will happily do any commission. Then, just use the commission to build it step by step and return you to the original world.
Already.
"So, I want to complete the 'earth cutting' that was not completely completed back then, build the real floating city Aincrad, and connect the pillar towers to form the road to the sky - which is also the road home that you can climb on your own.
road.
"I have said this, if you still want to fight with me, then I can accompany you, but because of this you have completely become a resident of this world, so don't take your anger out on me and the residents of Aincrad."
Kirito: "It would be a blessing for us if we could go back. But what will happen to the people in the place where the earth is cut off?"
