The frozen ruler in Mo Huai's right hand suddenly burst out with a brilliant sword light, not the edge of the Death Flame, but the sword light produced by the friction between the sword speed and the air too fast.

The first blow after drawing the sword was instantly blocked by Akihiko Kayaba's support system. After 0.02 seconds, the next sword's attack stopped abruptly, almost striking another sword on the afterimage of the first sword.

Mo Huai's right arm moved beyond common sense. Every time he lifted a little up, an afterimage of a sword appeared, and Mo Huai felt that he was standing in front of death, sitting and resisting fate. But the action didn't stop. With the decrease in blood volume, he insisted on raising his hand upward, and every time he lifted it, it was a sword shadow.

"Ahh

Accompanied by Mo Huai's angry roar, Kayaba Jinghiko's auxiliary system finally couldn't defend behind Mo Huai's 20th sword, and the ice ruler in his right hand slashed through his chest, and 0.02 seconds later, it was another sword. Within a second, the afterimage of the sword covered Akihiko Kayaba's body. Mo Huai's brain thought circuit controlled him to swing his sword at a speed that was about to burn. The sharp sound of effects continued to sound, and the sword light that flew like a meteor lit up the entire space.

"Die!"

Ignoring the support system to block a few attacks, Mo Huai just kept slashing his sword at Kayaba Jinghiko.

Mo Huai's scarlet eyes were bloody, and only the figure of Kayaba Jinghiko could be seen in his eyes, the blood of the mad dragon was exerted to the extreme, and the hot blood played a role in his whole body, and whenever the sword hit the enemy, a red warm current flowed into Mo Huai's body, bringing a trace of warmth to the cold body.

At this time, Mo Huai had already used a speed of more than ten times faster than usual to swing the Ice Ruler, because his blood volume had dropped to 2%, and the long sword was still inserted in his body, and with Mo Huai's attack, the blood-sucking effect of his mad dragon's blood was activated, forcibly keeping Mo Huai's blood volume at 2%, so as long as Mo Huai's 32 sword did not kill Kayaba Jinghiko, he would die!

“………… Ahh

The thirty-second blow that burst out at the same time as Mo Huai's roar, and the starry ice ruler pierced through the center of Kayaba Jinghiko's chest with a strong faith.

"Huhu

When Mo Huai's arm survived this second's high-intensity sword, the entire arm was already covered with terrifying bloodshots, and Mo Huai's last sword also pierced into Kayaba Jinghiko's body, and in an instant, the two of them maintained this posture that penetrated each other's bodies and stood on the spot. Mo Huai used all his strength and looked up at Akihiko Kayaba.

Kayaba closed his eyes and took the silent stab of ice into his body, and his HP bar vanished.

"So-it's okay, is it......?" Mo Huai said silently, his body fell backwards, and he fell on the soft ball, accompanied by the familiar aroma, Mo Huai fell unconscious.

As he gradually sank into darkness, Mo Huai actually saw Kayaba Jinghiko's knowing smile, and then Kayaba Jinghiko turned into a huge red fragment and exploded, and the entire space was rained with crystal red starlight.

Is it over......?

At this time, the inorganic voice of the game system of the gods and the voice of the SAO female system sounded at the same time

[Complete the main quest: Raiders Ayn Grant; Complete the side quest: Elven Heart. Yes/No to go back to the game of gods? 】

[The player has no choice, and the system determines that after 24 hours, the return will be automatic.] 】

And the female system prompt that resounded in the SAO world is [Game Strategy Completed - Game Strategy Complete - Game Strategy Completed ...... The game can be logged out! 】

“…… Wake up, Mo Huai wake up!" Asuna's cry woke her up, and the pain that pierced her chest made Mo Huai grin and prop up her upper body.

"Hiss......" looked at his 5% health bar, and the speed at which he recovered 2% of his blood volume every second, Mo Huai knew that the time for him to lose consciousness was only a few seconds.

Asuna crouched on the ground and brought her whole face close to my eyes. You can see her frowning deeply, biting her lips, as if she is about to cry, and beside her are Alice who is tightly grasping the corner of Mo Huai's clothes and Celica who is sitting in place and reflecting.

"Stupid ......! What a mess ......!" While Asuna screamed like this, she also hugged Mo Huai's neck at a very fast speed, and Mo Huai was shocked by this sudden situation, but she didn't expect Asuna to be able to explode such emotions after the parting of life and death.

“…… Well, Asuna, crying is not like my beautiful master. Mo Huai said in a joking tone, but Asuna's face suddenly turned on her face after hearing this. Then Asuna forcibly poured a bottle of high-grade blood rejuvenation potion into Mo Huai, and then buried her face in Mo Huai's blood-covered chest.

I looked around and looked up at a dazzling sunset.

Under the buttocks is a thick crystal floor, under the transparent floor there are clouds dyed red by the sunset slowly flowing by, looking up, you can see the sky dyed red by the sunset extending infinitely into the distance, the endless sky has changed from bright vermilion to blood-like red, and then to purple The level of change, there is a breeze blowing in the ears, but I don't know if it is Asuna's breath or the breeze

Except for the clouds that shimmered with golden-red light, there was only one castle floating in the sky in Mo Huai's sight.

…… What is this place? SAO should have succeeded. Is this in the game of the gods...... No, the game of gods doesn't have my request, Asuna can't follow me, is she still in SAO?

Quite far away from the small crystal plate where Mo Huai was standing, the sky castle floated silently. The object had the shape of the front of the cone. The whole is made up of countless overlapping floors. If you look closely, you can see that there are many mountains, forests, lakes, and towns between the layers.

"Is this Ayn Grant......

After hearing Mo Huai's sloquette to herself, Asuna nodded. You can't go wrong, it's Ayn Grant. A huge floating castle floating in the infinite sky. The world realm that Mo Huai came to half a year ago was the place where he met Asuna, Silica, Lizbet, and Kobayashi Li, and now it is under Mo Huai's feet.

This was the first time Mo Huai knew the whole picture of the world he was fighting in, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, how many dead gamers were there in this beautiful castle

As Mo Huai sighed, the steel metropolis was now crumbling

Under the wordless gaze of Mo Huai and the others, part of the bottom floor had already broken down into countless fragments, some scattered, and some peeled off to the ground. If you prick up your ears and listen, you can hear some heavy rumbling sounds mixed with the wind.

"Ah, that's our home......" Asuna exclaimed. A large part of the ground floor collapsed, and countless houses and bustling streets continued to fall among the building materials, and finally disappeared into a sea of red clouds. It should be the thirty-fifth floor of Ayn Grant, and watching the place where she once lived shattered, Asuna couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

I held Asuna in my arms, with Celica and Alice sitting next to me, sitting quietly on the Crystal Floating Island.

Mo Huai is quite calm, maybe he will soon return to the game of the gods, and Asuna and the others will also return to their ordinary world, but now they are together.

Mo Huai felt that Asuna should be the same as he thought. In Mo Huai's arms, she stared at the crumbling Ayn Grant with her eyes half-closed, and Mo Huai slowly stroked her hair.

"Great view, right?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him. Mo Huai and Asuna looked to the right, and there was already a man standing there at some point.

"Akihiko Kayaba!" Asuna exclaimed.

Is this the true face of Akihiko Kayaba? Mo Huai thought to himself.

His face was not Heathcliff, but his original face as an SAO developer. Dressed in a white shirt and tie, and draped over a white robe, only the metallic eyes gave the same sensation to his weak, thin face, and those eyes were now full of gentleness, looking at the vanishing floating city without the same crazy side as before.

Obviously, he only had a life-threatening match with this man dozens of minutes ago, but after seeing him, Mo Huai's mood was still quite calm, everything was over, to put it bluntly, he was just a passerby, and he was no longer capable of doing anything to Kayaba Jinghiko.

After Mo Huai took his eyes off the Maochang, he looked at the giant city again, and then spoke: "It's all over."

"Hmm...... You win, I will fulfill my promise, what do you want within my ability, say it" Kayaba's voice also seemed quite calm.

"Will this world continue to exist?"

"No, the SAO mainframe installed on the fifth basement floor of the head office is using all the memory to completely delete the files. In another thirty minutes or so, this world realm will be completely wiped out. Akihiko Ashiba replied.

"What about the people inside...... How are they?" Asuna muttered.

"Don't worry. Just now," Kayaba moved his right hand and continued to look at the window that was called out. "All the players who are still alive, a total of 4,561 people, have all completed the logout."

In this way, Kirito and Lizbet and other friends in that world, as well as those who have survived for half a year, have all returned safely to the real world.

Mo Huai nodded and asked, "...... Can you resurrect Kobayashi Li, this is my wish. ”

Kayaba's expression didn't change, and after removing the window, he put his hands in his pockets, and then said, "No, but I think you have a way, because that guy's heart is with you." ”

Is the heart here with me, Mo Huai looked at the elven heart in the space, couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Then it's okay, but I'm curious why you think so much about the game of the gods." ”

Kayaba smiled a little wryly. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "What is it for—I've forgotten it for a long time." What is it for? When I learned about the development of the SAO system, no, I should say that I started earlier, I lived to create that city, that world that transcended all the frameworks and regulations of the real world. Then at the last moment, I saw something that did not belong to this world that could transcend the laws of the world world that I had created............

The eyes of the grass field full of quiet light turned towards Mo Huai, and then immediately moved away at a speed that ordinary people could not see, but Mo Huai saw it.

SAO continued to be swallowed up by the clouds that connected the peaks, and Kayaba continued, "We've been dreaming a lot since we were kids, right? I don't remember how old I was when I was entangled in the fantasy of this floating castle in the sky...... That imaginary situation, no matter how much time has passed, remains vividly in my mind. As I get older, the images become more realistic and expanded. Fly up from the ground and go straight to that castle...... For a long time, that was my only wish. Listen to me, Mohuai. I've always believed that there really is such a mysterious world in a certain world - and your presence has made me even more convinced! ”

"Hmm...... I've had my fantasies at times. Mo Huai nodded, and Asuna in his arms and Alice and Celica beside him also nodded quietly.

Outside of the Blood Pact Knights, too, began to crumble. You can see the buildings and the red sky that were originally as far as the eye can see, but they are engulfed in white light and disappear in the distance. The erosion of light is happening everywhere, and it seems to be slowly approaching here.

"Thank you...... Mo Huai, you made me see a different landscape. After hearing this, Asuna looked up at the grass standing on the right, and he was gone.

As he vanished, a breeze struck

"The last words are to Miss Asuna—don't let the happiness in front of you drift away."
