Overlord World
Ainz Ooal Gown marveled at the range of Kirito's Full Control Art.
"The scope of this freezing is almost equivalent to tenth-tier magic!"
If his Incarnation were stronger, he might even achieve super-tier magic!
Moreover, it was released through the Blue Rose Sword. Such a weapon was already on par with artifact-level items!
He truly looked forward to seeing how Kirito would develop from here!
In the eyes of countless people, Kirito had become the savior of two worlds!....
Sword Art Online World
The blood of PoH, the boss of Laughing Coffin, was already boiling!
The moment he saw the Black Swordsman awaken, his mood was exactly the same as in the future!
That was to fight the Black Swordsman and take his life!
"Kirito! How much more fun can you bring me?!"
The mad PoH laughed wildly in the darkness...
Even the cadres around him were moved by his obsession. He was worthy of being their boss!
Gathering at the 22nd Floor Lakeside House
"Yuuki? Who is she, and why do I feel so at ease yet pained?..."
Asuna didn't know why, but the moment she saw the purple-haired girl, her chest tightened and her eyes blurred with tears...
This was perhaps someone she would meet in the future...
In Reality
Everyone on Yuuki's team stared blankly at Yuuki, who had turned into light and shadow.
Had she become like this because she was gone?...
Everyone fell silent, but the optimistic Yuuki responded with a smile!
She had known this day would come; it was a miracle she had survived this long...
Being able to have these companions was her only support in fighting her illness!
Because of them, her closed heart had opened, and she was finally able to be with them...
That was wonderful....
Underworld
"Great, Future Kirito is back!"
Eugeo's anxious heart finally eased. He had felt guilty, thinking it was his fault Kirito had been catatonic for so long...
He believed Kirito could defeat Vassago, save everyone, and protect the world they loved!
"Go for it! Kirito!".....
[Screen continues]
[PoH's kitchen knife had grown to the length of a greatsword. Black and red light particles continuously emerged like thick smoke, enveloping it!]
["Come on, let the show continue! Kirito!"]
[Kirito stared at him with a serious expression...]
[PoH laughed ferociously, bent down, and rushed over like lightning, raising his kitchen knife and slashing down hard!]
[Kirito raised his hand to block, engaging in a series of passive defenses!]
[Because PoH had absorbed the sacred power of too many people, he had become immensely powerful. Every swing of the kitchen knife felt as heavy as a thousand pounds to Kirito!]
[Even though Kirito had just staged a comeback, his current strength was still insufficient to suppress him and he was steadily beaten back!]
[PoH grabbed Kirito's collar and threw him into the sky!]
[Kirito hurriedly planted Night Sky into the ground to stabilize himself, but as soon as he looked up, PoH's kitchen knife was above his head...]
[BOOM!!!]
[Night Sky stood before him, blocking the blade's power. Orange sparks flew between the swords. Under immense pressure, Kirito half-knelt, gritting his teeth and resisting with all his might!]
[The ground dented!]
[PoH kept taunting Kirito with words, trying to make him become a murderer like himself, but he could never shake Kirito's heart!].....
Orochimaru: "Jiraiya once advised me like that too, but I chose to become a rogue ninja..."
Jiraiya: "You're talking nonsense! I was trying to persuade you to turn over a new leaf!"
Itachi: "Shisui once advised me the same way, but I chose to leave him and ended up losing an arm..."
Sasuke: "If you had listened to me earlier, and if I hadn't straightened you out, you'd be as dark as PoH by now!"....
[On Screen]
[The red-haired junior swordswoman Tiese tightly gripped the Blue Rose Sword's scabbard, praying it could help Senior Kirito...]
[BUZZ——]
[A sword wind blew past Tiese. The Blue Rose Sword trembled slightly as if responding...]
[She suddenly opened her eyes, looking ahead. Her eyes gradually filled with excitement, tears falling as she smiled at the figure before her...]
[Everyone also saw this scene, dumbfounded, mouths slightly agape, faces full of shock...]
[Kirito felt warmth around him. The power in his hand became extremely strong; PoH's power was suppressed by him!]
[He turned to look at the people around him, tears welling up as he sobbed: "Eugeo..."]
[Eugeo looked at Kirito with a smile and said loudly: "Let's do it! Kirito!"]
[Kirito's strength gradually increased. He slowly rose on his calves, roared, eyes fierce, veins bulging on his forehead!]
["AHHHHHHH!!!!"]
[A shocking roar filled the world. Power surged, instantly knocking PoH back!]
[He raised the broken Blue Rose Sword high, releasing ultimate power together with Eugeo!]
[CRACK...]
[The short crack in the Blue Rose Sword quickly froze until the ice shattered, revealing the sword!]
[BOOM!!!]
[Powerful airflow erupted from his body, spreading around!]
[Those previously frozen players were now covered in blue roses, then turned into points of light and left the world...]
[For safety, Kirito logged them out of this world...].....
"Unfair! Why can he log us out?!"
"We haven't even experienced this incredibly realistic world properly!"
"This island nation has gone too far. As a Choi Bang Ja Country player, I condemn this behavior!"
The players were filled with indignation. Even knowing the truth, they couldn't be expelled at will!
However, their shouts were useless...
Eugeo: "Kirito! We really are the best partners!"
Kirito: "Eugeo, you're right! As long as we're together, we're invincible!"
Asuna: "???"
Did she have to guard against Eugeo now too??
Now she felt a bit redundant.....
[On Screen]
[PoH tried to absorb the sacred power floating in the air but couldn't...]
[This panicked him a little. The source of his power had been cut off...]
[No one wanted to fight anymore; they just wanted to play the game...]
[Kirito's Night Sky absorbed these non-conflictual sacred powers. Power surged again, and the black coat reappeared!]
[The awe-inspiring, fearless Dual Blades Swordsman stood before PoH with an immensely powerful posture!]
["Kirito! You truly are the best!"]
[Kirito held two swords, looked at him solemnly, and said in a low voice: "Let's settle this!"]
[PoH grinned ferociously and charged at him like a wild beast, dark aura rushing forth!]
[But at that moment, Kirito was not afraid at all. The two ran at high speed. With the Dual Blades' continuous strikes, Kirito successively broke PoH's moves...]
[The aftermath of their fight raised thick smoke. PoH seized the chance to kick him sideways in the waist!]
[Kirito, in pain, flew backward, rolling several times on the ground before stabilizing...]
[PoH transformed into three people and attacked again. His ferocious face would frighten anyone who saw it!]
[The Blue Rose Sword bloomed with light, slashing two phantoms with three consecutive strikes!]
[——Sword Skill Combo——]
["AHHHHH!!!!"]
[Blade and sword tip collided. Fierce air pressure spread around, shattering the ground with this energy!]
[Their energies formed a storm enveloping them!]
[CRACK——]
[PoH couldn't believe his knife had chipped, but before he could react...]
[Kirito's eyes turned golden. With this power's blessing, the kitchen knife instantly shattered. Night Sky's blade cut through his arm and pierced through!]
[PoH had lost!]
[The Laughing Coffin Guild Leader, who terrified countless people, was finally defeated by the Black Swordsman today!]
["Cough..."]
[PoH's chest felt warm and sweet. A mouthful of blood spurted out; his Life continued to drain...]
[He had lost, but he thought death in this world wasn't real death! Sooner or later, he would slit the Black Swordsman's and the Flash's throats!]
[Kirito stared at him with an expressionless face, his tone majestic and without doubt...]
["No... it's over... You can't log out of this game."]
[Kirito poured the Demon Tree's memory into PoH's chest and turned to leave...]
[PoH's limbs and bones began growing branches until he transformed into a towering tree with a demonic face...]
[He would be imprisoned in this world for life, atoning for his sins!]....
Poison Dagger Johnny: "Boss, you truly deserve it. Who can compare to you with an ending like this?!"
Red-Eyed Shasta: "Boss... really... terrible..."
Vassago: "That damn Black Swordsman actually did this to me!"
The Laughing Coffin members couldn't believe it. The strongest red player had ended up like this.
Turned into an immobile tree...
To be watched by the world for the rest of his life until his Life ended...
This ending was more painful than death!
