Chapter 70: The Siege (Finale)
I can't tell what mood she is in now, but when Akihiko Kayaba appeared in front of her, her mood was hateful.
But seeing Akihiko Kayaba really die, this hatred turned into a daze, and this person who was supposed to be destined to be the final boss died like this?
A sense of unreality hit her heart, causing Asuna's body to shake, but when the corner of her eyes swept to the emerald figure next to her, all emotions were immediately brushed away, and the idea of battle reappeared in her eyes, and the thin sword pointed straight at the two of them.
"Sister Yaya, we are not evil, and for us, it is just to survive."
Shirokumar looked at the hostility in Asuna's eyes, but said with a hint of bitterness, she knew that since she had embarked on the path of the magic sword, she had no room to turn back, but when she saw the old man facing each other with a sword, the faint astringency lingered.
"Let's go, Childes."
Turning around, the expression on his face returned to indifference, and the remnants of the thirty or so monsters present at the scene were glowing with white light at the same time, enveloping all the figures, and then the light collapsed inward, and the figures of Shirokumar and the others disappeared.
It's over?
Like, it's really over.
I waited quietly for a while, but there was still no movement.
Asuna's legs were a little weak, but she knew that this was not the time for her to show weakness.
She turned to the players who were focused on her and nodded vigorously.
"The battle, it's over! We, win!! ”
Oo!!oo
The sound of the earth-shattering roared, and this time people temporarily put aside their doubts about the sudden appearance of Akihiko Kayaba, and the confusion of the other party's sudden escape, and just celebrated their victory presumptuously.
To survive is to win.
{Congratulations on completing the mission}

{5: Unique skills unlocked, currently unlocked skills are: Holy Sword, Dark Sword, Second Knife Stream, Knife Drawing, Shuriken, Infinite Gun, please explore the conditions from each mission by yourself.} }
It's such a generous reward, but it's better to say that the reward is too rich, so that the players collectively lost their voices and just stared blankly at the red curtain unfolding in the air, confirming the content over and over again.
Directly to the teleportation point on the thirty-ninth floor, this alone is enough to make them excited for a long time, not to mention the following series of rewards, unique skills they have also heard of, it is a unique skill unique to Heatscliffe, the source conditions are unknown to anyone, but the power is undoubted.
Thinking of Heathcliff, people fell into a wave of speculation, they didn't think that Heathcliff was actually Akihiko Kayaba.
It's too shocking fact, and with the death of Akihiko Kayaba, it gradually eases up.
Those people in the city and on the battlefield, no one blamed Asuna and the Blood Alliance Knights, after all, they all clearly saw how Asuna and the members of the Blood Alliance Knights fought for them, even if they almost died, they did not shake the fighting spirit of the little girl who was only ten years old.
At the end of the day, everyone is a poor person who was deceived by Akihiko Kayaba.
So they just fell silent and accepted it silently.
Akihiko Kayaba is dead.
They are still alive.
That's it.
If everyone were so sensible, then there would be no such thing as strife in this world.
Inside the city, someone spoke.
"Huh... Who knows if the Knights of the Blood Alliance are in collusion with Akihiko Kayaba..."
"That's it."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Asuna-sama fought for your life, have you lost even the most basic judgment!! ”
"I, I didn't say Asuna-sama, but if you think about it, it's inevitable that the Blood Alliance Knights who have been led by Kizuhiko Kayaba for so long... Right? ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, the losses of the Blood Alliance Knights are also very heavy."
"Oh my, my boyfriend is dead! He has to die for something!! Why didn't the Knights of the Blood Alliance and other Grand Guilds die for them!! ”
"It's just that they obviously occupy the best resources in the game."
"My brother too, he must be the one who died for Lu!"
"My brother."
"My friend is ...... too"
I didn't have the courage to point my sword at those monsters, but I had enough hatred to stab my own people with my own sharp blade, just because of the unspeakable sadness and unstoppable sorrow after I survived.
Akihiko Kayaba is dead.
But this hatred will not go away,
So when the frontline players dragged their scarred bodies back to the city, they were greeted by many strange looks in addition to their relatives and friends.
There are a total of 2,000 players, and the last one is less than 1,000.
And most of these players are injured, and basically everyone has lost some parts on their bodies.
When they saw the tragedy of the frontline players with their own eyes, the words of those people who complained were blocked and could no longer be spoken, after all, in fact, they did not even have the courage to go to the battlefield.
The front-line players were just supported by their relatives and friends, found a place to sit on the ground, and looked at their friends safely, just showing a reassuring smile.
Many front-line players are keenly aware of that malice, but they really don't have the strength to care about it at the moment.
A thousand or so players were buried on that battlefield, but what they got back was a way back without a word of thanks, they were tired, they were too tired.
So they fell into a deep sleep and relaxed their nerves.
Kirito frowned at the sad looks of the players in the city, and the malice against the frontline players provoked by suspicious people.
Sure enough, those people are already desperate for chaos in the world?
Raising his hand, he sent a message to someone lurking in the city, then whispered a word to Klein beside him, and walked towards where Asuna was.
He also saw the appearance of Shirokumar, and the general development of the matter was also stated to him.
At that time, Kirito was entangled by the boss in front of him, and he couldn't be distracted at all, so he could only take advantage of this time to ask Asuna in detail about the specific incident.
Walking near the Blood Alliance Knights, Kirito frowned again, this atmosphere...
The surrounding players are far away from the players of the Blood Alliance Knights, and not only that, but the atmosphere of the Blood Alliance Knights themselves is also extremely bad.
There were only about ten players left, and the players of the Blood Alliance Knights sat on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at the ground, and it seemed that the fact that Heathcliff was Akihiko Kayaba had dealt them too hard.
Calling Asuna out, Kiritoro learned the whole story.
"So, Shirokumar, they actually organized this siege for the sake of Kayaba Akihiko and the Cardinal system?"
Kirito's face was heavy, and in the final analysis, they were too weak players, so weak that even their strength to protect themselves in this kind of battle was so humble.
However, how is it possible that this game system will also be hacked?
Unlike other players, Kirito has specialized in studying the achievements of Kayaba Akihiko, after all, Kayaba Akihiko is also his idol, and it is precisely because of his in-depth understanding of Kayaba Akihiko's achievements that he feels extremely surprised, how can anyone hack such a perfect system.
The Cardinal system is divided into two main programs, when one of the main programs has a problem, the other program will automatically become a backup, and the part of the program that has the problem will be forcibly restored to a safe state, which is a perfect system that can repair itself.
Wait, two parts?
Kirito vaguely grasped some of the lines of these things.
"Huh? Did something happen? ”
At this time, a clear voice with some surprise came into the ears of the two, this voice was so familiar, so that Asuna couldn't help but raise her head immediately at this moment, sure enough, it was the young man dressed in white.
