Chapter 186: Dialogue
The back of the long trench coat fluttered fiercely like the wings of a monster.
That's right, that's the mystery of Ain'Grant.
And yet - what a terrible assault move. It's completely different from the swordsmanship that Kirito has taught him so far, but it's closer to the one-shot ultimate move like the high Norgia Ryu. However, there was no form beauty in that move that was valued by those genres, and it was a killing technique that existed only to pierce the flesh of the enemy.
「…………」
Eugeo froze, and finally caught up with the crimson glow.

Kirito's target is undoubtedly the senator Chuderkin, who manipulates the giant flaming clown. However, the other party's body was fifteen meters away. No matter what kind of secret meaning it is, as long as it is still a sword skill, it is impossible to attack the enemy from such a distance.
At the moment of the attack, Chuderkin did not notice Kirito. His gaze was to his upper left, where he had been shooting the Ice Arrow a few seconds earlier.
Even if it was the most powerful technique that Yugeo could use, it wasn't a threat to the Administrator at all, and with a light blow, she shattered it completely. However, as expected, instead of ignoring the attack aimed at his master, Chudelkin raised his head and shouted a warning shout, thus successfully fulfilling Kirito's request to "distract that guy".
After seeing the ice arrows being wiped out without resistance, Chuderkin, who had settled down, turned his huge face back.
Then, his narrow eyes widened instantly, and all kinds of mixed feelings surged up in an instant, tangled in his eyes.
First of all, it was the shock that Kirito's sword that suddenly stabbed at this moment released a flash of light.
Secondly, it is the peace of mind that the attack is just a simple rush technique that is far beyond the range of the shot.
And finally—the horror of seeing the red blades of light that sprint forward at super-high speed, with a roar that can tear through eardrums.
Eugeo also forgot to breathe in a great shock. The blood-colored lightsaber swept to the left of Alice, who was standing in front of the two of them to defend against the flames, and in an instant, it broke through the distance of fifteen meters-
Chudelkin's stick-like body, standing upside down, was pierced straight through the middle.
The red blade of light continued to advance for about two meters, before re-disintegrating into beams that spread through the surrounding space and vanished. After that, a large amount of blood splattered out. Chuderkin was cut wide in the middle of his chest, and the wound was so narrow that it almost cut his entire body in two.
"Oh oh oh ......"
High-pitched, feeble screams pierced the air, echoing in the blood-mist-filled air.
The upside-down body slowly leaned and fell into a pool of blood formed by his own blood.
Where did such a small body come out with so much blood, Chuderkin trembled and raised his right hand and stretched out towards the Administrator floating in the sky.
「…… Ahhhh......h Contemptible ...... Lion...... ...... next"
The voice was inaudible, and the expression on the old clown's face could no longer be seen from Eugeo's position. The right hand of the patriarch Zhang Chudelgin landed on the blood-soaked velvet blanket with a "pop", and the whole person stopped moving.
Then, the flame giant, who was about to break through the golden tornado above Alice's head, turned into a large amount of white smoke in an instant, and the terrifying smile on his face melted into the air. The golden slice controlled by Alice also seemed to be overwhelmed by the disappearance of a strong enemy, and slowly slowed down and floated in the air.
Silence descended without warning, numbing Yugeo's ears. He turned his face and looked back at him.
Kirito still bent down deeply, his right hand reaching forward with all his might.
The residual red light on the surface of the black sword faded away, and the hem of the black hair and trench coat also ended their last flutter and slowly drooped. The slightly shrunken edges of his body swelled out, turning back into his partner's original physique. And Yugeo could only hold his breath and stare blankly at all this.
After everything was restored, Kirito froze in place for a few seconds before slowly lowering his right hand, the tip of the black sword resting on the blanket.
Looking at his partner, Yugeo didn't know what to say at this moment.
For Kirito, who even the vice-knight captain Fanadeo wants to rescue, even if the enemy is the elder Chudelkin, taking away his destiny is definitely not what he wants to do. Moreover, now on Kirito's side face, he can no longer feel the coldness of the previous attack at all.
Breaking the silence for several seconds was the "clanging" sound of the golden blade returning to Alice's sword. As if sensing some tension, Eugeo stepped over Alice's shoulder and looked back into the depths of the room.
Floating in the air, the Administrator stretched out his slender left hand towards the elder who was lying on the ground.
No matter how you look at it, Chuderkin is already dead of anger, is he still going to use a healing spell on him? Or does the High Priest have the ability to resurrect corpses?
Yugeo gasped, and then—
The Administrator's emotionless voice flowed into the ears of the trio.
"I just want to get rid of him, because it's so ugly."
Then, with a wave of her left hand, Chudelkin's remains flew up like a doll stuffed with cotton, crashing into the window at the other end of the room, with a muffled sound.
「…… How so?"
Alice, who had witnessed what the High Priest had done, turned her face slightly, lowered her voice and exclaimed.
Although the personality in her body is still the same indifferent integration knight that has been transformed, Yugeo can understand her feelings. Although Chuderkin was not a respectable figure even as an enemy, he was killed in battle for the Lord in any case. Then, at least for his death, there should be a courtesy.
However, in the Administrator, there is no emotion that should arise from the sacrifice of his subordinates.
Her silver eyes didn't even bother to glance at the remains of Chuderkin, who had been thrown aside, but instead smiled like the enigma on her face as if all the memories and consciousness of the previous second were gone.
「…… Well, it's a pretty boring scene, but I've gotten a little bit of meaningful information."
The High Priestess uttered a few incomprehensible sacred words in her flawless heavenly voice, and then, maintaining her upper body lying on her back on the invisible chaise longue, gracefully glided through the air and moved to the center of the circular chamber.
The naked girl tucked her stray silver hair behind her back with her fingertips, narrowed her eyes with swaying seven-colored brilliance, and cast her magnetic gaze straight at Yugeo's side, who was still bowing his head.
"Unconventional little ghost, I thought I couldn't access your detailed property because you didn't log in to the Unit through an irregular marriage, but ...... It doesn't look like that. You're from there, right? In other words, it's the human race over there...... Right?"
Ninety percent of the time the Administrator was muttering, Yugeo couldn't understand it.
- "There"? "Over there" ......?
Black's partner, Kirito, appeared in the forest south of Lulid two and a half years ago as a lost memory "Becuta's Lost Man".
Yugeo had heard the occasional rumors of such people, but only when he was a child would he believe that they were really as he was called, because of the mischief of the dark god Becuta who lost his memory of being human.
People lose their memories and sometimes even their lives because of the too painful and sad things that happened to them, as taught to him by Eugeo's predecessor, Old Garita, the nicker. He lost his wife a long time ago due to a flood accident. Because it was so sad at that time, most of the memories of his wife have become blank. The old man smiled lonely and told him that this was both a mercy and a punishment for Styziah, the god of life.
So, so far, in Yugeo's inference, the same thing must have happened to Kirito. Judging from the color of his hair and pupils, he should be a resident of the Eastern or Southern Regions, who lost his memory because of some painful and sad things he experienced in his hometown, and wandered all the way during the long journey, and finally arrived in the forest of Lulid.
Because of this, during the journey to the central capital or the years of living in the academy, Yugeo barely asked Kirito about his memories. - Of course, I have to admit that part of the reason is that he is worried that once Kirito regains his memory, he will abandon himself and return to his hometown.
And yet—
The Administrator, who knows everything about this world, uses such a wonderful statement to describe the place where Kirito was born.
"Over there." Is this referring to the Dark Territory, the opposite side of the End Mountains? The only clue that can be linked to Kirito's origins, is the continuous sword technique of the Aingrant stream also a genre that circulates in the Dark Country?
No—no, if it's the High Priest, you should have a thorough understanding of the geography of the Dark Territory.
