Chapter 198 - Chapter 196: Vanished

Fate World

The twelve Knights of the Round Table showed varied expressions.

King Arthur: "I'm looking forward to that girl's performance. She carries the bearing of a king!"

Bedivere: "My king, do you mean her appetite?"

Gawain: "Eugeo is as handsome as I am. The red armor suits Lancelot even better!"

Lancelot: "No! I'm not that angry. This definitely suits Tristan!"

Tristan: "Oh~ This does match my hair~ Crimson rose~"

Percival: "I hope to save these humans on the verge of demise..."

Gareth: "I believe they can overcome the difficulties, go for it! Lads!"

Mordred: "Hmph! I want to slash this rotten building with one sword!"

Galahad: "I wish you victory in battle and a triumphant return!"

The Knights of the Round Table closely watched the events unfolding in that world...

Sword Art Online World

"I'm not easy to deal with, but the boy who uses ice is an even greater threat to me!"

The Red Lotus Knight is quite confident in his own strength. He has survived countless life-and-death battles.

"Boys, give it your all!"

"I won't back down!"

Even though he now knew he had been deceived by the Highest Priest and turned into an Integrity Knight, his knightly honor remained!.....

[Screen continues]

[The Red Lotus Knight fired several arrows at an extremely high speed, and the two quickly dodged....]

[They weren't harmed...]

["System Call!"]

[The Red Lotus Knight calmly chanted a spell, and a ball of flame attached itself to his bow, burning brightly!]

[BOOM!]

[The Red Lotus Karma Fire swept across his entire body, like a torturer from hell, the blazing temperature scorching the ground!]

[The air distorted at that moment!]

[BOOM!!!!]

[The arrow generated by the golden flames was aimed at the two of them!]

[——Blazing Bow——]

[Kirito initiated the first attack, creating ice blocks on the ground, followed by an ice shield floating before him!]

["Ridiculous!!!!"]

[BOOM!!!]

[The Red Lotus Knight fired instantly, the scorching flames striking the ice shield like a light cannon!]

[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]

[The scorching pillar of fire pierced through several ice shields and landed heavily on the final ice shield!]

[——WHOOSH!!!]

[The pillar of fire gradually transformed into a firebird, letting out a sharp cry!]

[CRACK!]

[The last ice shield began to crack and shattered with a bang!]

["Ahhhhhh!!!"]

[Kirito swung the Black Sword, creating a wave to block the flames, but was sent flying by the counterforce, slamming hard into the wall!]

["Don't stop, Eugeo!"]

[Kirito's roar snapped Eugeo out of it, and he charged forward from the front!]

["Don't underestimate me! Kid!"]

[The Red Lotus Knight condensed his flames and fired towards Eugeo, but they were deflected by the Blue Rose Sword! In this secluded mountain of ice, the roses growing in the land of wind and snow exuded an intensely cold aura!]

[This was a fateful confrontation between fire and ice!]

["I won't lose to a mere flame!!!"]

[The icy power erupting from the Blue Rose Sword instantly swallowed the Red Lotus Knight's flames, and ice encased his body!]

[PFFT!!!]

[The Red Lotus Knight's chest was slashed open. Stunned, he quickly retreated, but his helmet was cut off by Eugeo, who was hot on his heels!]

[He half-knelt weakly on the ground...]

[The Red Lotus Knight lost this battle...]...

"Hahaha! What an incredible young man!"

The Red Lotus Knight patted his chest and laughed heartily. He was happier than if he had won.

Indeed, his flames had lost to ice. Now they possessed enough power to contend with Integrity Knights!

He thought they were still very young, their training time so short, yet they were still so powerful!

Alice, beside her dragon, covered her head, looking at the uncle laughing wildly.

Any semblance of an Integrity Knight's dignity was gone. If other swordsmen saw this, all majesty would be lost!

"Eugeo, where are you?..."

One Piece World

The people in the blacksmith shop nearly popped their eyes out looking at the Blue Rose Sword!

"Is this sword, made from a plant, really that powerful?"

"But how is it forged? It would probably turn to charcoal the moment it touches flame!"

They couldn't figure it out, but this Blue Rose Sword must be a unique, famous blade in that world!

A sword coveted by countless swordsmen!...

[On Screen]

[Eugeo suppressed the urge to cut him down. After all, he was the one who took Alice away in the first place....]

[But he ultimately let him go and wanted to ascend higher...]

[In the stairwell, they met two girls. They looked pitiful and harmless....]

[However, beneath the cute girls' smiles lay hidden murderous intent. They stabbed Eugeo while chatting and laughing....]...

Subaru Natsuki: "Why does this scene feel familiar?..."

Back at the beginning, he judged by appearances and was slapped several times by Rem.

Thinking back now, he couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing him like this, Rem must have remembered what happened before, and her eyes couldn't help but dim.

As expected, she had hurt him...

But at that moment, Subaru held her hand tightly, grinned, and gave a thumbs up!

"It's okay... It's all in the past!"....

[On Screen]

[Kirito used a trick, pretending to be poisoned, and was taken to a higher level by the two girls....]

[The two girls uttered extremely dangerous words, telling the Purple Knight to watch closely!]

[As a result, Kirito stood up calmly, took the daggers from their waists, and slashed their arms, rendering them immobile....]

[They never imagined someone more cunning than them existed....]...

"Damn it! That bastard is so underhanded!"

"We could have taken credit with the Highest Priest!"

The girls roared ferociously, their gloominess almost dripping black water. Their perfect plan had been easily seen through!

No wonder he was dressed darker than they were!

Kirito: "Haha, I want to do the same thing again!"

He had fallen for PoH's scheme back then and almost died, so he naturally took poisoning to heart!...

[On Screen]

[Kirito faced the Integrity Knights alone without any stage fright!]

["Swordsman Kirito! Bring it on!"]

[The four knights charged out swiftly, and Kirito passed through them, coming before the Integrity Knight!]

[CLANG!]

[The Integrity Knight reacted quickly, blocking Kirito's sword!]

[SIZZLE!!!]

[The sparks from the clashing swords made a sound like lightning!]

[The Four Horsemen wanted to come and assist....]

["You all stand down! I will be his opponent!"]

[The Integrity Knight swung her sword, knocking Kirito back, and unleashed the full power of her Armament Full Control Art!]

[Kirito didn't know what move she was about to use, so he charged forward and leaped up...]

[BOOM!]

[The tip of the Integrity Knight's sword shot out a wave of light that pierced through Kirito's waist!]

["AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"]

[Kirito roared to suppress the pain and slashed off the Integrity Knight's helmet with one sword!]

[The Integrity Knight fired light waves one after another. Kirito swiftly dodged but couldn't match the speed of light....]

[BOOM!!!]

[Kirito's foot was pierced by a light wave, and he collapsed to the ground...]

[The Integrity Knight stated that her sword was made of a thousand mirrors and could condense light to emit white flames!]

[Kirito was a bit dumbfounded. He never expected someone to reveal their weapon's weakness....]

[He directly summoned a mirror to deflect her attacks....]

[The Integrity Knight's helmet was struck, revealing her true appearance—a black-haired woman!]

[Kirito looked at her in shock, not coming to his senses....]

[Fanatio covered her face. Seeing Kirito's expression, she grew furious. Did he dislike her?]

[This expression was exactly the same as that of the man who defeated her years ago!]

[In a rage, she charged at Kirito and struck with a powerful sword!]

[CLANG!]

[The two contended in strength, their blades clashing, sending sparks flying!]

[They separated simultaneously, their sword skills fast as lightning, continuously clashing, the sharp sword energy creating real waves!]

["Amazing!!!"]

[Eugeo, watching from the side, marveled repeatedly!]

[Fanatio's sword speed kept increasing. Kirito hadn't experienced such an exhilarating battle in a long time, and the corners of his mouth kept rising!]

[This sword-to-sword combat truly made him want it never to end. At that moment, he felt truly alive!]

["YEAHHHHH!!!"]

[The two struck out simultaneously, and their postures shifted....]

[Fanatio planned to unleash countless light waves without any martial honor!]

[BOOM!!!]

[The ground shattered under the light waves and began to melt!]

[Kirito was hit by several light waves, sustaining multiple wounds. Gritting his teeth, he roared, "You idiot!!!"]

[He raised his sword and charged at Fanatio, pressing her sword to the ground....]

[At that moment, Eugeo had already prepared his technique!]

["Bloom! Blue Rose!!!"]

[BOOM!!!]

[Ice crystals rapidly condensed, covering the entire hall in ice. Fanatio was trapped by ice bars and couldn't move!]

[But the sword in her hand wasn't trapped!]

[Sunlight began to concentrate, and the ice around her melted rapidly!]

[Kirito stood up. The tip of the Black Sword condensed with light. This was the Armament Full Control Art!]

[The black-purple light expanded rapidly like a liquid, the sword exuding immense power!]

[Fanatio instantly shot out white light waves, and Kirito simultaneously released black-purple light waves!]

[BOOM!!!!]

[Two powerful light waves collided, and everything at the point of impact was instantly swallowed by the two forces!]

["AHHHHH!!!!!"]

[Kirito roared. The black-purple light waves expanded more and more, constantly devouring the sun's rays!]

[Seeing she couldn't hold on, Fanatio sighed and closed her eyes....]

[BOOM!!!]

[She was struck by the light waves, hit the ceiling, and fell heavily, her fate unknown....]....

"Yeah! This is a real duel between swordsmen!"

"Finally, it feels a bit like a Saint Seiya battle!"

As everyone knows, a duel between swordsmen is equivalent to a battle between mages!

Azure-Eyed Demon: "Thank you, Black Swordsman, for not learning this move back then!"

Renegade: "Thank you, boss, for not bombarding me!"

Ice Dragon: "So the Black Swordsman is my big brother!"

The players in SAO were dumbfounded. Is this a duel between swordsmen?

Which boss could withstand this!

Finally, the Black Swordsman is no longer an ordinary swordsman....

Inside the Axiom Church

"What a respectable swordsman!"

"Being able to fight Kirito is already a good ending!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Fanatio's mouth. She wasn't afraid of death. She definitely wouldn't have survived that move....

[On Screen]

[Kirito, with only half his life left, was revived by Eugeo's Sacred Arts....]

[And Kirito used a recovery item to save Fanatio...]

[The two took the elevator to a higher level...]

[Finally, they saw Alice enjoying tranquility under the golden osmanthus tree....]

[Kirito and Eugeo's discussion seemed to sting her....]

[But Alice was already in full battle attire, and the golden osmanthus tree beside her transformed into a golden sword!]

[The two felt nervous; Alice was more powerful than they imagined!]

[Her sword turned into golden light, flexibly attacking the two, showing no mercy!]

[BOOM! BOOM!]

[The two were knocked back by the golden light and fell to the ground....]

[Kirito quickly stood up and requested a one-on-one duel with her. The two fought fiercely!]

[But Alice's power suppressed Kirito, forcing him to keep retreating until his back hit the wall....]

[Eugeo kept chasing from behind...]

[Kirito restrained Alice. Eugeo seized the chance to freeze both of them...]

[But Alice's sword was exposed. The golden flower shattered the ice, and she escaped successfully....]

[But before she could react, Kirito blasted her with a wave of light!]

[Alice's expression tightened as she hurriedly resisted. The energy from the two trees merged, condensing into a golden energy sphere!]

[BOOM!]

[The wall cracked under this force and was on the verge of collapse....]

[Alice's sword was deflected by Kirito's power. She fell backward, momentarily suspended in mid-air, a look of shock on her face. He hadn't aimed at her body!]

["Aiming the sword?"]

[Due to inertia, she couldn't resist immediately. Eugeo seized the opportunity and rushed at her swiftly!]

[Kirito shouted, "Eugeo!!!"]

[Eugeo drew a dagger and stabbed at Alice, but the wall exploded at that moment!]

[The powerful airflow sucked Kirito and Alice out!]

[The two vanished before Eugeo's eyes!]
