The sword of the lake is a sword that brings victory to the owner, to the king who bears the sword.

With its razor-sharp blade, stiff body, and luxurious hilt, it is the sword of the lake that shines with golden light, and it is the most suitable weapon for the final winner.

Holding this sword of the king, he stabbed the blade forward, cutting through the air, piercing the opponent's skin and armor, passing through the blocked flesh, directly erasing all her blood and making it zero.

Natsume's sword in the lake pierced Asuna's chest, which suddenly stood in front of Kirito, and killed him as expected.

Looking at this scene in surprise, Natsume's expression was as if he had eaten a large amount of coptis and bitter melon, and his eyes widened that he did not stop moving, but increased his strength, wanting to pierce it together with Kirito.

It will be a victory of your own.

The world of SAO will end up by itself.

However, Natsume felt the obstacle, and even if he wanted to pull it out, he couldn't do it, as if the sword in the lake was being clung to, and that person was Kirito.

He couldn't believe what was happening, and instinctively grabbed him by the blade that was stabbing at him, and stretched out his hand to Asuna in front of him.

Laughing bitterly, Asuna wanted to say something, but she turned around and reached for Kirito's hand that had abandoned her right sword, but before the two could shake each other, Asuna's body became transparent and slipped between Kirito.

"Huh?"

Exclaiming in a hoarse voice, Kirito realized that he couldn't grab Asuna and put his hand on the left side of Asuna's face.

As in the previous situation, Asuna's body began to dimize.

From the place where he was impaled by Natsume. From there the wound begins to become completely transparent. At the same time, it gradually shattered.

"Nope. No, no, no, Asuna, Asuna ......"

In this death game, the fact that HP is zeroing is the coming of death is simply unbelievable.

Kirito promised Asuna that he would let her escape from this world. Get the real life.

However, at this moment, the result obtained at this moment is not the same as promised.

Asuna, killed, Natsume.

Despair begins to eat away at what little hope remains, and Kirito grabs the blade of Natsume's Kochu Sword and begins to kneel on the ground.

Natsume had no choice, he raised the blade of light in his left hand, and even at the cost of Asuna's death, he still wanted to win.

Cut down, at the same time. The lake sword in his right hand also increased his strength, intending to attack both at the same time. So that Kirito, who has become frustrated, has no ability to resist.

But.

Sting.

Feeling the excess in his abdomen, Natsume only felt that his body had become heavy, and he began to disobey everywhere.

Looking down, the white thin sword [Flashing Light] was inserted into Natsume's chest through Kirito's right hand.

What's going on with this kind of plot?

Obviously, he is not Akihiko Kayaba, but why would he encounter this situation, in the final analysis, the most stubborn and the most stubborn were killed, and that was the situation that only the villain would encounter.

Natsume couldn't understand that the blade that pierced his heart had robbed him of everything, and he couldn't even move the sword forward by a centimeter.

Already, is it over?

I was a wrong system, so I broke through the barriers of the system for this reason.

However, Kirito was different, he relied on his strength to surpass the limits of the system and successfully complete the operation.

That's it.

Myself, failed.

At the thought of his failure, Natsume felt a lot more relaxed.

Everything ends at this moment, and it's not bad for yourself to be needed by others to end up here.

Do you have any dreams?

The question of the female artist appeared in his mind again, and now, Natsume wanted to answer it again.

I don't know where she is and how she is doing, but it doesn't matter if the other party can't hear the answer from this side anymore.

My dream is—

I hope to be able to live well.

Longing for everything in the world, he was once betrayed, and after their help, he began to yearn for other things in the world.

But it's too late.

You can't turn back time, and this is the end of yourself.

Then, Natsume heard Kirito's words.

"You've failed again, Kayaba Akihiko."

————？！

Akihiko Kayaba?

Kirito looked at himself weakly, with a sad expression but a triumphant smile.

"I did it, liberate this world and defeat the true creator."

I see.

Natsume understood everything that had happened so far.

He played Natsume as Akihiko Kayaba, not Natsume as Natsume.

The 'Kayaba Akihiko' who was killed by himself may be the existence of the AI type that was arranged from the beginning.

To put it simply, it's like solving a puzzle.

Raiders SAO means defeating the boss of the final layer, that is,

Can I win from the start?

Natsume came in as 'Akihiko Kayaba' this time, so there is only one way to get SAO the fastest, and that is-

Suicide.

The boss at the top is killed, which means that the GAMEVOER, from the moment he enters this world, has already decided the outcome.

Natsume can indeed attack SAO, whether he commits suicide or is killed by others, he does it himself.

Because only if you disappear, it will be counted as a success of the strategy.

At the end of the day, is there only one arrangement that the Frame of Revelation has for itself?

It's not about saving the world, it's not about saving others, it's not about enjoying life, it's about it.

Let yourself be driven to death.

It's an ironic setting.

The entire world of the world, the entire SAO, and all the players are looking forward to one thing, and that is the death of 'Natsume'.

In that case, am I also considered a victory?

[Yes.] 】

Familiar voices rang out, and everything around them fell silent.

It was, a girl in a fancy dress.

[All the goals have been achieved, and it's almost time for Natsume-sensei's life to come to an end.] 】

[Huh? 】

[The starting strategy of "Rebellion", the abnormal survival of "Demon Forbidden", the killing of "Future Diary", the suppression of "Borderline", the war of "FATE/ZERO", and the death of "Sword Art Online", Natsume-sensei, do you think of anything? 】

[I don't know what to do. 】

[It's really cold. 】

Lu approached and smiled very sweetly.

[I have already let Mr. Natsume experience the misfortune of the 'king', don't you feel anything? ] For example, I like men's muscles more and more. 】

[Don't come near me, poor milk. 】

[Really, it's really hateful, since Natsume-sensei is a fool, then tell the truth.] 】

The record came over, snorting and laughing.

[Teacher Natsume lacks sensibility, so in the next world, Mr. Natsume must try to fall in love. 】

[Huh? 】

[After going through everything, cultivating a real 'talent that is not needed', that's it-]

I continued to laugh, and with that very cute smile, I said that I couldn't laugh at the result.

[That's the talent needed to destroy this box. (To be continued......)
