Kiritani Kazuto, whose online name is Kirito, is the destined person of this world, commonly known as the protagonist.
Due to the death of his good friend Eugeo in the UW world and the damage caused to his soul by the American mercenary Black Turtles, Kirito fell into a semi-dementia state after defeating the supreme priest Adominis Doret.
Not long ago, he got back on his feet with the encouragement of his companions, and when he was preparing to duel with Poh, the founder of the killing guild Smiling Coffin, an unknown person unexpectedly interfered and disrupted his plan.
Tamamo Mae looks like the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox in Japanese mythology... although she only has eight tails now.
Even Kirito, who is devoted to his girlfriend Asuna, is unconsciously attracted by her beautiful appearance.
Vasak Casals, the POH who encouraged the Chinese and Korean players, made rude remarks to Tamamo Mae who rushed into the battlefield. Tamamo Mae, who was unhappy, hit the vital point with a kick that cut off all descendants without any warning and as fast as the wind.
There is no pain adjustment system in the uw world, and the pain felt in this world is exactly the same as in the real world.
Poh, whose vitals were severely hit, was temporarily unable to recover. Tamamo-mae's Charming Dance lifted the bewitching effect of Poh's Intention Skill on Chinese and Korean players, and in turn charmed these people, temporarily stopping the chaotic battle on the battlefield.
Kirito, Asuna and others struggled to get rid of the influence of Tamamo's mind skill, and Kirito and Asuna, who were on a mission, bypassed Tamamo and pursued in the direction of the altar at the end.
The other members of the protagonist group stayed behind to prepare to deal with this "BOSS" of unknown origin.
After learning the situation from Yongzhen, Lu Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, and shouted to Tamamo Mae: "Xiaoyu, that's almost it!"
"Hmm~Okay."
Tamamo thought for a moment and stopped her graceful dance. All the people who were mind-controlled quickly woke up.
Chinese and Korean players originally entered the UW world with a dubious attitude. Most players’ initial purpose was just to see the truth clearly.
Poh's mind skill stirred up the dark side in their hearts, which directly led to this battle that shouldn't have happened.
After waking up from the double mind control, the calmer ones among the Chinese and Korean players persuaded their companions and sent representatives to inquire about the truth from the protagonist group headed by Leafa (Suguha Kiritani).
Under the watchful eyes of many players and natives of the UW world, Tamamo no Mae returned to Lu Xiao with a few dexterous leaps. She leaned against Fenrir's furry body and closed her eyes, beginning to realize the harvest of this gathering of emotions and will.
Seeing that the trio headed by Lu Xiao seemed to have no intention of continuing to intervene in the situation, Leafa, Lisbeth and others temporarily put aside their doubts and patiently explained the truth about the UW world to the Chinese and Korean player representatives.
When they learned that this world was not the American server advocated by Poh at all, but an experimental world built by Japanese officials, Chinese and Korean players suddenly realized that they had been led to the rhythm.
When the Chinese and Korean players apologetically logged out one after another, Leafa and others took some time to pay attention to Lu Xiao and others.
But at this time, Lu Xiao had already moved Yongzhen and Tamamozamae to the sky above the altar at the end, waiting to see the final show before ending their trip to the UV world.
Lu Xiao’s goal of entering the UW world has been achieved.
By analyzing the time and space rules of this virtual two-dimensional world, Lu Xiao gained important insights. As long as she returns to the real world for retreat, she should be able to successfully break through the final bottleneck.
It was agreed from the beginning that it was just a vacation, and Lu Xiao did not plan to use force in the world of Sword Art Online.
Anyway, according to the original plot, Kirito will ultimately win the battle with Vector (Gabriel Miller).
Lu Xiao and the other three were just floating in the nearest auditorium, watching this exciting battle at close range.
The collision of mental skills is actually a competition of wills. With no one interfering, Kirito defeated the psychopathic Gabriel Miller with the Starburst Air Slash driven by positive emotions.
"The show is over, Yongzhen, how is Fenrir's situation?"
Looking away, Yongzhen probably felt the remnants of the divine power in Fenrir's body.
"There's still a lot left, but it shouldn't affect Fenrir's daily activities."
Lu Xiao: "Then we will start our return trip now?"
"Well, let's go."
It was harder to escape from the virtual world than to enter it. It took Lu Xiao nearly two minutes to capture the coordinates he specially left on Yinyu Mountain.
At this time, the UW world has entered a 5 million times super acceleration due to the release of the extreme acceleration of the American mercenaries.
More than 1 minute is equivalent to ten years to the outside world, but this time has no impact on the immortal Lu Xiao and others. The subjective time of the Sword Art Online world has not accelerated by ten years.
Leaving the virtual world and returning to Yiyu Mountain where birds and flowers are singing, Lu Xiao once again arranged the barrier.
This time, Lu Xiao was not the only one who needed to retreat, Tamamo Mae, who had gained a huge harvest, was also in meditation, leaving only Yongzhen and Fenrir, who had basically recovered to health, to protect them.
…
For the Japanese in the world of Sword Art Online, recent events have left them quite dizzying.
First, the incident of the US military snatching Japanese research results broke out on the Internet, causing a stir in some anonymous forums.
Next, RATH disclosed their research results. Alice, who was taken out of the uw world, lived in the real world as an intelligent robot and adapted to this new world with completely different rules.
This press conference had a huge impact on all walks of life in Japan, and even began to radiate to the world.
However, Dr. Rinko Kamishiro, who is the temporary spokesperson of RATH, made it clear that Alice and her possible compatriots will not be used for heavy labor work, and they have the right to choose their own lives.
Let’s not mention the discussion about this press conference in various countries around the world.
The third incident that attracted widespread attention among Japanese residents was a bizarre incident that was reported by many news media.
Otowa Mountain, where the famous Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto is located, has experienced strange phenomena recently.
To use an ancient saying from neighboring China, the anomaly that occurred on the mountain should be called the submission of all beasts.
All the birds that came and went above Otoyu Mountain were unconsciously attracted, and surrounded a small cave halfway up the mountain, chirping.
The animals on the mountain also spontaneously came nearby and waited quietly.
All humans who try to get close will be attacked by birds and beasts at the same time. Official personnel who enter the scene with shotguns lose contact one after another, and the situation at the scene cannot be observed through helicopters and satellites.
"Not okay yet?"
Lu Xiao, who had made the breakthrough first, stood at the entrance of the cave a little anxiously shaking his legs.
From the appearance, Lu Xiao has not changed at all compared to before. He does not have two extra horns or a pair of wings.
But Yongzhen and Fenrir could feel that his aura was deeper, and they could also feel a strong sense of oppression vaguely.
This is just the result of Lu Xiao's inability to fully control his power after his breakthrough.
Tamamo Mae's breakthrough caused a strange phenomenon, and his unconscious mind controlled all nearby creatures.
However, Lu Xiao was unable to suppress it for the time being. He could not guarantee whether using power when his strength was unstable would directly tear apart space and distort time.
Aletheia came to help with the satellite, but the time she could fool around was limited.
Recently, the whole of Japan has been paying more and more attention to the strange phenomena in Otowa Mountain. Even with the official cordon set up, there is an endless stream of people trying to sneak in to explore.
These people are now like those animals, sitting cross-legged on the ground with dull eyes, staring blankly at the cave in front of Tamamo.
Lu Xiao was stunned by the sudden resumption of mental control, and the nearby animals and people began to wake up one after another.
"It looks like it's over."
Tamamo Mae's domain ability was recovered, and Yongzhen hurriedly added an onmyoji barrier to knock out all the people who were waking up.
After Tamamo Mae opened her eyes, she still seemed a little confused: "Um...this is what I am?"
Lu Xiao: "Don't worry about it for now. The noise you made this time is quite big. Be prepared. We will return to the main world immediately."
