The thin sword with wind pressure fell from the sky, but the girl easily dodged it.
The venom-quenched dagger rushed towards him, and he was responded with even stronger combos.
Swinging down the magic sword that could easily penetrate heavy armor, the man who thought he had caught the flaw was frozen in place.
"what is this!"
Maintaining the position of being penetrated, PoH growled with an unwilling expression on his face.
His two cadres were no better than him at the moment. In the dazzling sword light that was almost invisible to the naked eye, the two of them flew out of the air with bright red scratches.
As for why he is asking now, it is naturally because he is confused about Yuuki's sword skills.
You know, in "Aincrad", the highest level sword skill of the one-handed sword "Rising Star Ascension" only has ten hits in a row.
But in Yuuki's counterattack just now, not only did she draw her sword extremely fast, but she also thrust out the eleventh most impossible sword.
It was because of the misjudgment that Yuuki would enter the catalepsy stage after the tenth sword strike that PoH suffered a fatal injury that was completely penetrated while in full attack posture.
This is a girl who has integrated another consciousness of herself, surpassed the system settings and achieved the ultimate power of imagination. In this "Aincrad", she has reproduced and strengthened her original "sword skills".
So even though PoH raised questions, Yuuki just looked at him indifferently and had no intention of explaining.
"Really...it turns out...you have two skills..."
"..."
"Okay...I'll just admit my failure..."
PoH laughed at himself and saw that his health bar was declining rapidly and did not investigate further.
But he still seemed unwilling to let it end like this.
Looking at Yuuki, PoH showed a disgusting smile.
"But...you...are just like us..."
"Even if you can leave this game alive...it won't change...the fact that you are a murderer!"
"Just live with this feeling of guilt...haha..."
After uttering the last sentence with all his strength, PoH seemed to be expecting to see Yuuki's shaken expression.
"Are these your last words?"
"——?!"
Staring wide-eyed, PoH didn't understand why his words had no effect on Yuuki.
No matter how strong he is, the opponent looks like a little girl in her teens, and it is impossible for her to have a perfect mind.
"You got three things wrong."
While drawing out the long sword, Yuuki said calmly.
"First, I have long passed the age where I would be swayed by someone else's words."
Putting the weapon back on her waist, the girl ignored the strange expression on PoH's face as he slowly fell.
"Second, restoring it to its original state is just because some things haven't been exposed yet."
In her detection skills, there are already many traces very close to here.
"third……"
Yuuki looked at PoH for the last time and closed her eyes slightly. The silent forest supported her quiet answer.
"Even the Virgin Mary would not smile at the devil who stepped into the coffin."
Turn around and leave.
What shines behind are the fragments that prove the end of the Prince of Hell.
…
"……it's over."
Standing a little tired in the middle of the nearby forest, Yuuki raised her head and looked at the rising moonlight.
Although as time goes by, she can use more and more power in this virtual world, but in the real world, she estimates that her body is almost reaching its limit.
The reason why I stopped the state of integration just now is, on the one hand, I don’t want to expose something specific too early, and on the other hand, I also want to avoid increasing the burden on my body.
(We have to hurry up...)
Taking a deep breath, Yuuki prepared to leave before anyone arrived.
Although I don’t know which guild came here to level up, but I did encounter it, and it’s hard to explain the weapon fragments all over the ground.
It would be troublesome if any strange rumors spread.
At this time, the girl did not know that the strange guild she thought was here to 'rescue' her companions.
While taking a step forward, Yuuki reached out and slid down the system bar, wanting to send a message to her companions in the guild.
As soon as she opened it, she found that her information bar was already full.
"Forehead……"
Thinking something big had happened, the black-haired girl quickly opened it to check.
After understanding the whole story, although she couldn't help but laugh a little, she still felt warm and warm.
"That guy Argo... is too aggressive..."
Turning around, Yuuki walked back towards the original path.
Seeing the figure walking safely in the distance, Aiko could no longer control the emotions in her heart, and rushed over unsteadily to hug Yuuki in her arms.
"That's great...that's great..."
With tears in her eyes, she felt the hugged presence. She really couldn't imagine a future where she would never see her sister again.
The emotions that had been suppressed in my heart were finally released.
"..."
Moving her lips slightly, Yuuki wanted to say some comforting words, but finally turned them into actions, patting Aiko's back gently.
"Really, don't make us worry so much..."
Wiping the corners of her eyes, Suguha followed closely and saw the two people hugging each other, and finally let go of her worries.
"Wow...it's great that everyone is okay..."
Standing a little further away, Silica, who had just come over, also choked with sobs.
Behind her, two older sisters, Lisbeth and Asuna, also smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Covering his eyes with his arms, Klein, who had gathered together, became the most excited one.
The other members of the strategy team who slowly gathered also had a tacit understanding and did not come forward, and quietly guarded the surroundings.
Although they were also wondering why everyone from the Orange Guild was missing, since the protagonists who needed to be rescued were fine, that was better than anything else.
After walking a little away from Klein, Kirito smiled knowingly when he realized that Yuuki was fine, and then walked to the bald man who had been watching a certain field.
"Is there anything strange? Agil."
"Kirito... if it were you, would you be able to defeat the alliance's strategy team?"
With solemn admiration, Agil asked Kirito beside him.
"Oh, that kind of thing."
"Of course it's impossible...can..."
"..."
Kirito, who was laughing a little, looked in the direction where Agil was looking, and suddenly hesitated mid-sentence.
Appearing in front of him were dozens of weapon fragments stuck in the ground, and forest branches that looked like they had been swept by a storm.
Returning to the 47th floor, standing at the door of the guild headquarters, Aiko, who had been holding Yuuki, let go of his hands, came to Yuuki's front, smiled, and said the blessing he had been preparing for a long time.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoyou!"
Behind the scenes, all the players followed and shouted as if they had agreed.
"Happy birthday!!!"
The sound buzzed in the ears, as if waking the girl from her dream.
(Ahh...)
(I actually forgot such an important thing...)
"Happy birthday, Sister Lan."
Perhaps, this was the most heartwarming night that all the members of the strategy team had ever spent in this world.
…
After that day, it seemed that no one had ever seen the orange-named player of "Smiling Coffin" again.
From that day on, Yuuki began to be known as the "Swordswoman".
However, according to a certain mouse-faced businessman, the black-haired girl seems to want to change this.
But when Argo asked again what the meaning was, the person involved just smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
She remembered what the other party said.
——'If you really want to give me a nickname like Asuna and Silica, you might as well call me 'Absolute Sword'.'
