Chapter 719: SAO ends

Looking at Nightfall, whose HP value was about to turn red like herself, Heathcliff chuckled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Why not?"

"If you have backbone, then I won't bully you, since your shield is gone, then I don't need a weapon." Nightshade immediately stuck the sickle on the ground, clapped his hands and said.

"You look down on me?" Seeing Nightshade do this, Heathcliff breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a burst of fire.

"Whatever you think, I'm just trying to make the game more fun." Nightshade didn't care about Heathcliff's mood, and said casually.

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

Heathcliff, who laughed a few times, held the knight's sword in both hands, took a deep breath, and then looked at Nightfall intently again.

"Come again!"

The two figures are fighting together again!

This time, the weaponless Nightfall also did not choose the previous method to block the long sword that Heathcliff slashed towards him like a meteor, but was like a phantom, and dodged his attack with a speed far exceeding that of Heathcliff!

Heathcliff, who had been slashed repeatedly, began to get agitated, after all, he was just a researcher.

Dodge around the night dead behind Heathcliff and directly swept his legs, and the huge force made Heathcliff fall to the ground!

Step forward, lean over, reach out and grab Hizcliff's right hand holding the sword, and twist it in reverse!

"Poof!!"

The sound of a sharp blade into the flesh sounded!

Time, as if in this moment, stood still......

Outside the field, Asuna and the others, together with the surrounding players, watched the sudden changes in the field, but they didn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze, making the entire Ruby Palace quiet......

Heathcliff's sloppy eyes regained his gaze, and he looked fixedly at the long sword that pierced his body, and then raised his head with difficulty, and cast his eyes on Nightfall's body, and smiled miserably, as if he had given up, and his whole body relaxed, and spread it on the floor......

HP is zero!

"I ...... Lost ......"

"Hoo ......"

Standing up, Nightshade looked at Heathcliff, who was stuck in the ground with a long sword piercing his body, his eyes unwavering.

"yes, you lost ......"

Heathcliff's eyes lit up like a light return, and he looked around at the players who were staring at him blankly, he didn't know what to think, shook his head slightly, and then turned his head to face the nightfall.

"I have never regretted ......"

With such inexplicable words, Nightshade miraculously understood what Heatscliff meant and closed his eyes.

"So, you're doomed......"

"Really?" Heathcliff smiled. "That's not bad......"

When the words fell, Heathcliff's HP value was completely emptied!

The body turned into a burst of light, and in a beautiful cracking sound, it collapsed into a sky full of fragments.

The crisp sound of shattering came into the ears of everyone present like an echo, and looking at the shards that had spilled in all directions and the night dead bathed in the debris, every player seemed to have lost consciousness, standing in place like dolls, including Asuna, Kiriko, Klein, Akyll, and others......

"It's over?"

After a long time, a voice full of uncertainty and disbelief rang out in the crowd......

"The end... Finish? The other players repeated the uncertain and incredulous words in a daze, their eyes fixed on the scattered debris, as if until now, they couldn't believe that they were the bodies of Heathcliff Kayaba Akihiko......

Is it over?

This sentence appeared from their hearts more than once during the period when almost everyone was in a daze, they trembled all over, their fists clenched white, as if they were enduring something, and finally, two tears flowed from the face of one of the players......

"It's over! It's over! ”

"yes... It's over! ”

"It's all over!"

"It's over!!"

All the top players who came to participate in the final battle shed tears in unison, whether the people around them were known by them or they did not know, they all hugged them in their arms and cried bitterly......

At this time, the ecstasy of completely clearing the level, the pain of the past experience, the fear of past death, and the hope for everything in the future all turned into the most direct teardrops, which fell on the spot, as if venting, so that the entire Red Jade Palace was filled with rich cries.

After three years of life in 'SAO', until this moment, they were finally liberated.

At the same time, a mechanical sound that resounded throughout the entire 'Ayn Grant' huge floating city slowly returned to the ears of all players, telling them that this game has been completely cleared!

In the Ruby Palace, in 'Ayn Grant', every player gradually turned into a ray of light in a burst of earth-shattering cheers and cries, flickered for a while, and disappeared in place, leaving only a huge empty castle, remaining in this world......

'SAO', completely cleared!

――――――――――――――

When Nightshade regained consciousness, he was standing above an endless sea of clouds.

"This is ......"

Looking around, Nightshade suddenly noticed that in the distant sky, a huge floating steel city was slowly collapsing.

Ayn Grant!

"Ah...... The game guide is completed ......"

After defeating Heathcliff, the whole world began to turn into a white light, and he lost consciousness at that time.

Standing in the sky like this, watching Ain Grant, who had lived for three years, fall apart, Nightshade couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in now.

Two years......

It's been nearly two years since Nightfall lived in SAO.

The sharp-eyed Nightshade could even clearly see that the 22nd floor of Ayn Grant, the bamboo building that carried countless sweet memories of herself, Asuna, Kiriko, and Yui, fell into the endless void with the collapsed steel city. Of course, it's not that Nightshade's home is gone, but the system has already promised him that this bamboo building will be preserved intact and waiting for Nightshade's next use.

"How? Nightshade, is the scenery here beautiful? ”

At some point, a tall and thin man with short hair, glasses, and a white coat appeared beside him.

Heathcliff, or as we should call him Akihiko Kayaba now.

"Well, it's beautiful......"

With his hands in the pockets of his white coat, Akihiko Kayaba's eyes behind his glasses were full of emotion.

"In reality, there is no such thing as this......"

"Nightshade, you know what? I've had a dream from a long, long time ago. ”

"I dream of such a world, a perfect world."
