It is not as simple as plastering a human body in plaster in the real world, but on a systemic basis—that is, by absolute divine command that forbids it to do all action. And the man in front of him, relying only on the power of his own will, broke it.

"Uncle...... Don't, stop! Body...... It's going to break, uncle! Alice cried with tears in her eyes, but the knight captain Belkuli's rebellion against the gods did not stop for a moment. Finally, with a loud, high-pitched cracking sound, his eyelids lifted. Although the exposed eyes were as gray as the skin, the pupils shook like the surface of the water, reclaiming a slight blue-gray glow. Lin Yiyan could clearly feel that his gaze contained an extremely strong will.

Then, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into the shape of a smile, and at the same time, an extremely faint voice came from it. In the process, debris continued to fall.

“…… Yo, little girl. Don't cry like this...... Your beauty will be ruined. ”

"Uncle......!"

"Don't worry...... It's just that there's nothing I can do with this level...... bar. Compared to this ......" Belkuli stopped talking for a moment, and looked up at Alice, who was kneeling in front of his eyes and weeping, and when he saw the temporary bandage wrapped around his right side, a fatherly smile faintly appeared on his petrified countenance.

"That's right...... Little girl. You're finally ...... Jumped over that wall...... Yes. Take me ...... It took three hundred years...... Still unbreakable ...... ...... of the right eye Seal to ......"

"Uncle, uncle...... I...... I ......"

"Don't show your ...... Such an expression...... I really...... Glad to ....... In this way, I have nothing to ...... I can teach you to the little girl......"

"What's the ...... How can there be such a thing! I need my uncle to teach me a little more, and there are very, many, many more......!! Alice, unable to hide her childlike cry, stretched out her hands again and embraced the knight's head. Belkuli smiled softly again, whispering in Alice's ear.

"It's a little girl's words, she can do it...... To correct ...... The fault of the Congregational Church has restored this distorted world to ...... The ...... that should have been ......"Lin Yiyan noticed that the voice was losing power at a very fast speed. The amazing willpower that sprouted from the Fluct Light of the Knight Chief is now about to run dry.

Belkuli's eyes, which had gradually lost their light and returned to gray stone, twitched faintly, and he looked straight at me. From his lips, which were already unable to move, he said what was probably the last line.

"Hey, boy...... Miss Alice...... Please...... You've got it. ”

“…… I see. Lin Yiyan nodded, and this was the only sentence he could say. The ancient hero also nodded to Lin Yiyan, and this action brought more cracks to his body. His last sentence reached Lin Yiyan's ears with the white cold air, "Yours...... Partner, by the elder elder, Chuderkin...... Took away...... Fear...... Was it brought to ...... in the chamber of the High Priest...... Hurry up...... In that child, lost in ...... Before the labyrinth of memories ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the knight chief Belkuli turned back into a silent stone statue. His hoarfrost covered his chest and cracked from his neck to the corners of his eyes, exuding a bravery worthy of an ancient hero.

“…… Uncle ......" Alice's voice, who was still holding the knight's shoulders, was still full of grief, and Lin Yiyan listened to her sorrow while thinking about the meaning of the sentence just now.

The figure known as the Elder Chuderkin ordered Belkuli to Deep Freeze and took Eugeo away, and this is supposed to be the truth. Lin Yiyan turned his gaze and looked away from the frozen Belkuli, where the ice seemed to have been cut by a chainsaw, and a square cavern was opened, all the way to the bottom of the bath.

Yugeo must have activated the Icebrier Technique with the consciousness of dying with the Knight Chief. The Elder who broke into the area seized the opportunity to cut Yugeo out of the ice and transport him to the Administrator's bedroom on the upper level.

However, Lin Yiyan was quite concerned about the word "labyrinth of memory" mentioned by the knight chief. If it was Ugeo, it shouldn't be so easy to be brainwashed, but what kind of means the Administrator with the ability to directly operate Fluct Light would use to play with him, Lin Yiyan couldn't imagine at all.

Lin Yiyan looked at the square hole while thinking, and found that something in the depths of the smooth section was reflecting brilliance. Lin Yiyan approached the cave, narrowed his eyes, and found that it was a long sword inserted at the bottom of the bath. Even if it was separated by a few centimeters of ice, Lin Yiyan would never mistake that beautiful appearance—it was Yugeo's sword of love, the Sword of the Green Rose.

In a sense, this beautiful artifact, which was already equivalent to Yugeo's clone, was wrapped in deep ice and discarded here, which made Lin Yiyan's sense of unease even stronger. Glancing at Alice, who was still holding Belkuli, she pulled out the black sword hanging from her left waist, aimed the tip of the sword directly above the green rose sword buried in the ice, and held the hilt of the sword with her backhand, exerting force on both hands.

With a snap, the ice cubes were split vertically and fell deep into the cave next to it. Kneeling on the ice, he held the hilt of the sword of the green rose with his left hand exposed, and slowly pulled the sword out after enduring the cold that invaded his body. Although there was still a faint sense of resistance, the sword was eventually pulled out with a tiny piece of ice.

Holding the black sword in his right hand and the sword of the green rose in his left hand, he stood up, but his knees bent down as if protesting against the heavy load. While it's natural to hold two high-priority artifacts at the same time, there's no room for sound. Because, even though blood was oozing from their palms, the close attendants Rone and Ti Zhuo still sent these two swords to Lin Yiyan and Yugeo, who were about to be brought to the cathedral.

This time, it was his turn to hand over the Sword of the Green Rose to Yugeo.

Lin Yiyan looked around again and found that the familiar white leather scabbard was placed on the ice covered with a layer of frost. Put away the black sword, pick up the scabbard, and take the sword of the green rose back. After thinking about it for a while, he hung the second sword on the right side of his belt, and finally maintained the balance of his body.

After exhaling a breath, Lin Yiyan turned his head and inadvertently bumped into the sight of Alice, who stood up at some point. The girl knight, who was wiping the tears from her left eye with her cuff, showed a shy expression, and then said in a cold tone, "...... Although it is said that the madmen who are equipped with two swords at the same time are those nobles or royalty who use swords to decorate the façade...... But you look very presentable now. ”

"Huh? Is that so......" Lin Yiyan subconsciously smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders. Indeed, in the previous SAO world, the double knife flow was Lin Yiyan's hidden ability. However, I don't know if it's because I haven't shown this skill in front of others at that time, and now when I wear two swords at the same time, I always have a slight discomfort that can't be brushed away.

“…… Even so, it's impossible to control two swords at the same time. Lin Yiyan shrugged and said, while Alice nodded with a natural expression, "Because when you hold two swords, you won't be able to use the precious secret meaning." Knowing this, there is no point in equipping dual swords. Compared to this...... Now that the sword has been left here, Yugeo has already fallen into the hands of the High Priest. …… It's better for us to hurry up, what that adult will do is not at all what ordinary people can imagine......"

“…… Have you spoken to her? and Administrator? ”

"Only once." In response to Lin Yiyan's question, Alice tightened the corners of her mouth and briefly affirmed.

"That was six years ago...... When I wake up as a trainee integration knight in a state where I have lost all memories of the past, the first thing I will see is the High Priest who is my 'summoning master' and the agent of the gods in this world. At first glance, the man didn't seem to have even held a heavy object, let alone a sword, but it was so beautiful...... However, those eyes ......"

Her arms clasped tightly around her body, and she continued with a shudder, "Those are mirror-like silver eyes that reflect all the light...... Well, now I understand. At that time, I was deeply afraid of the High Priest. I must not disobey her, I must not have the slightest doubt about what she says, I must give all my loyalty to her—I am afraid that it is this overwhelming terror that drives me to think so. ”

"Alice......" Lin Yiyan looked at the integration knight who lowered her head with a pale face because of great fear, but she seemed to be aware of Lin Yiyan's thoughts, took a deep breath, raised her face, and nodded.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I've made up my mind. For my sister who doesn't know where under the northern sky...... For the sake of my family, whom I have not yet met, and for the many innocent people, I will do what I believe is the right thing. - Uncle is also aware of the seal that has been placed on our right eye. In other words, even Bel Cooly, who is in charge of all the integrated knights, is in charge of all the integrated knights. Synthesis· One is definitely not blindly believing that the absolute dominance of the Congregational Church is good. Coming down to this level, I didn't get your partner as we thought, but it was nice to meet my uncle...... In this way, there is nothing that can shake my heart. ”

Alice bent down and reached out to caress the petrified Belkuli cheek. However, in the next moment, the knight suddenly turned around and walked on the ice with steady steps.

"Hurry up, then. Depending on the situation, you may have to fight the patriarch before you meet the High Priest. ”

"Hey...... Hey, can the Knight Commander leave it alone like this? Lin Yiyan hurriedly trotted to Alice's side and asked. Then, a sharp gaze flashed in the left eye of the integration knight Alice, and she spoke in a decisive tone.

"I'll tie up the elder Chuderkin and let him undo it...... Otherwise, if you kill him directly, you should be able to dismiss him. ”

But don't be the enemy of this girl again......

Lin Yiyan, who was running forward with the weight of two swords on his back at the same time, thought so.

Stepping up the five flights of stairs again—but this time against gravity—Lim and Alice finally reached the 95th floor of the Hyosung Watchtower and stopped.

Unlike me, who couldn't stop breathing because of the weight of the new sword on my right waist, the weight of the equipment was obviously not much different from Lin Yiyan's, but the face of the integration knight was still so cold. From the snow-white skin and turquoise eyes that you could feel the cold air, a firm determination emerged, and she looked up at the upper part of the stairs.

“…… Listen to me as you adjust your breathing. Although the elders are only at the level of ordinary people in terms of their ability to use weapons in close combat, the authority to exercise divine magic is even higher than that of our integrated knights. Even if the spatial divine power is extremely thin now, they can infinitely unleash long-range attacks by using the catalyst crystals harvested from the Rose Garden. ”

"For ...... Such an opponent must be attacked by sneak attack...... It is necessary to create the conditions for close combat. Lin Yiyan said while gasping, and Alice nodded slightly.

"It's no longer an occasion to care about the decency of the fight. It's not impossible to get close without being noticed, but I guess I can't do it smoothly if I think of something so nice. Once the sneak attack fails, I will use the total domination technique of the Sword of the Golden Wood to defend against the opponent's divine technique, and you will rush through. ”

“…… I'm here to defend the front......" Seeing Lin Yiyan's reluctant expression as she recalled how tricky it was to face an opponent who used magic to attack, Alice raised her left eyebrow and said a sarcastic line, "It's okay if you want to do it the other way around, but only if you can prevent the opponent's divine magic at that time." ”

"I know, I'll do it, can't I do it?"

Indeed, Lin Yiyan's black sword was still in the process of recovering its destiny, and there was no way to launch the Armed Complete Domination Technique. If possible, it is best not to use it until the First War against the High Priest. And then again, that special move is simply summoning the origin of Kigascida, that is, the dark attribute giant spear, even if it has enough destructive power to turn the tide of battle, but it lacks the versatility of Alice's sword's Flower Storm.

Seeing Lin Yiyan nodded, Alice continued to say seriously, "If you don't worry, I will apply the recovery technique to you from behind." It doesn't matter if you act recklessly, but at least save the life of the patriarch Chudelkin. If it was the one I remembered, he would have been a short man in a nasty red and blue clown suit. ”

“…… I always feel ...... It's a dress that doesn't have any majesty at all. ”

"Even so, we must not underestimate the enemy. Even aside from the amazing "Deep Freeze" technique, he has many techniques that are both high speed and high power...... I'm afraid he's the second highest priest in this church to be a sorcerer. ”

"Ahh It's just that I made a pact to spend the most effort on the person who looks like a clown, right? Alice showed a strange expression on Lin Yiyan's lines, but immediately turned to look at the stairs with a sharp gaze, and then spoke in a resolute voice.

"—let's go."

This time, I suppressed the footsteps as much as I could, and rushed up the stairs. Waiting for the two at the end was a dimly lit narrow path and a black door in front of them. Through the unpleasant green light on the wall, it can be seen that the road is about one and a half meters wide, a width that would be very awkward when two people intertwined. The single door at the end of the road is even smaller. Although Lin Yiyan and Alice can pass as long as they keep their heads down, if they are a mighty man like the knight chief Bel Cooley, they may need to bend down.

Either way, it's shabby. Generally speaking, the base of the supreme ruler like this, the place called the 'final cave', the more you go inside, the more luxurious and gorgeous it becomes, right? What's more, the Hyosung Observatory on the lower floor has a spacious design that is as luxurious as possible down to the smallest detail.

However, when you get to this place, which is only a millimeter away from the top, what is the shabby you see?

“…… This is the Senate you just mentioned...... Right? Hearing Lin Yiyan's whisper, Alice hesitated and nodded and replied, "It should be the ...... - you will understand when you go in." ”

Alice shook her blonde hair as if she was about to cut through her confusion and stepped into the narrow passage.

Could there be any traps or other traps on such a narrow road? Subconsciously thinking about such a thing, he reflexively stopped, but immediately turned his head around the corner and chased after Alice. In the center of the Congregational Church, which is the absolute ruling organization, there will never be a troublesome trap set up to take into account the presence of intruders. Even if there were similar mechanisms, they would be placed in front of the two of them in the same dignified manner as the Minions lined up on the outer wall.

The passage of approximately twenty meters allowed the intruder to pass through quietly, reaching the front of the small door without incident. The two exchanged glances and nodded at the same time, and Lin Yiyan, who was in charge of the attack, stretched out his right hand and held the handle of the small door. Lin Yiyan turned the unlocked doorknob without hesitation and opened the door smoothly.

However, the cold air blowing from inside the door did carry a dense aura of something—for example, the heavy aura felt when the door to the boss's room was pushed open in the Ain Grant Labyrinth area—which sent a chill through Lin Yiyan's back.
