It's a great feeling to run in the rain.

Even if the whole body was soaked in the rain, the steps began to become heavy, and it was difficult to breathe, it didn't matter, the two of them just ran as fast as they could.

The rain seemed to wash away the fatigue of the two of them, taking away the filth all over their bodies, leaving only their pure self and thoughts.

The surrounding forest environment is indeed blurred, and the shadows that stand in the darkness are like tentacles that will rush at any time, and the two people who shuttle through this other world are still fearless.

Holding hands tightly together, he ran to the exit of the forest as far as he could see after jumping over the creek that had been in front of him.

At this moment, less than fifty meters away from the exit, Natsume used his speed to brush the hair on his forehead that was constantly falling with water droplets with his right hand, and then retrieved the sword in the lake.

Once out of the forest, not far away is where the guardian angels are, so there's nothing wrong with being on guard in advance.

Although Natsume slowed down, she still deliberately ran in front of Lizbet to prevent her from being defenseless when she was suddenly attacked, and if she was there, she could at least be her shield to block the attack for her.

Now that he has a level of seventy-nine, he won't be killed easily.

With his left hand, he pulled Lizbet around a large tree and walked out of the forest to let her stay behind her.

The rain seems to be starting to decrease, which means-

"Natsume, the rain may be stopping!"

Kindness! Natsume just nodded in response, and the raindrops that fell on his body were indeed much smaller than just now.

The weather environment of the sky island within this secret passage is too great to predict.

Stepping on the grass, the clouds on the ground that had been washed by the rain became whiter. On the way, Lizbet reached out and grabbed a cloud. The soft feeling made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Step on top of the pond with one foot. Natsume didn't reprimand Lizbet's actions without a sense of crisis, but it made people feel more reassured.

At the end of the meadow is the more regular road made of stone bricks that I saw before, and the guardian angel who attacked Natsume and the others not long ago is in a stone state, and the spear that was originally thrown out seems to have been recovered by them.

There are thirteen of them, and it seems that the one killed by Natsume has been reborn.

It's more difficult!

Natsume brought Liz Betla close and let her stay by his side quietly, so that he could take care of her.

"Don't leave me I know? Liz Bet. ”

"Yes, yes. But that's embarrassing. ”

Listening to Lizzebet's speech, the two of them, who had begun to increase their speed again, ran straight ahead.

At the same moment as he stepped onto the stone path, the rain that had been constantly swaying disappeared, replaced by a golden beam of light that fell from the clouds.

The two looked up, stopped, and looked at each other with a wry smile.

The thick black clouds faded away, and the statue of the sun-drenched guardian angel moved instantly.

"Try to rush hard! Lizz Bet is also ready for an attack! ”

Without waiting for Lizbet to answer, Natsume rushed over first.

Since not all stone statues turned into movable monsters at the same time, Natsume took a few steps forward and slashed the still shaking stone statue with a single sword.

Bang! Broken stones were scattered on the ground, and all of them turned into data fragments into experience. Finally, it becomes a light that gradually fades.

Even so, the remaining twelve guardian angels were transformed. Lizbet smashed off the left wing of the guardian angel with her own weapon, and when she found that she was able to move, Lizbet immediately retreated.

However, after a step of slowness, the Guardian Angel's spear had already pierced out, and Lizbet, who knew some combat, reacted and thought about how to deal with it.

The attack is coming from the left side of you, so all you need to do is move to the right as much as possible, after all, the spear is not the same as the blade, and you can't slash horizontally.

Even if the opponent uses a horizontal sweep to hit, it is better than being split in two by a sharp blade.

Moreover, the weakness of the spear lies in its continuous aggressiveness, and once it has been attacked, it is necessary to make a second preparation and withdraw the spear.

This is the experience that Lizbet has learned from building weapons for so long, and the more weapons she has come into contact with, the way of nature to use this weapon is a combat method.

In response, Lizbet immediately ran to the right as she had been told, lowering herself to avoid the hilt of the spear as she swept over.

She didn't hesitate, but immediately got up from the ground after giving a 'hmm' to dodge the enemy's second attack, but she stepped on the cloud and sank down the way.

The stab came again, and Lizbet closed her eyes in panic, then heard the sound of blades clashing.

Natsume came to Lizbet, and the powerful slashing blade forced the other party away, and on top of the clash of force and force, it was Natsume who had the advantage.

As his wings were smashed off by Lizbet, the guardian angel who could not fly was unstable due to the impact of the impact, and he was moved to the chest by Natsume, who was approaching, when he tried to throw the spear.

Then, Natsume picked up the spear that was about to fall to the ground in his left hand, and threw it at Lizbet.

Bang! The sparks that burst out were not far from Lizbet, and the precise projection collided with the spear thrown by another guardian angel.

It's amazing.

Lizbet admired the person in front of her in her heart.

Flexible reflexes, quick movements, precise judgment, and agile dodging, plus a gentle and good guy.

No, no, no, the last one doesn't count!

Lizzebet is picked up as she shakes her head, and she finds herself caught under Natsume's armpit.

The waist was tightly hugged by the other party's wrist, and Lizzebert felt the other party's reassuring body temperature.

But not only that, she also noticed that Natsume's breathing was a little disordered.

"This kind of battle is too draining, and although the previous wound has fully recovered, it still produces the illusion of pain."

"Phantom pain?"

"Yes, so, Lizzebet, I'll show you my secret skills."

"Secret technique?"

"In the whole SAO, only Asuna looked over."

"Then I want it too!"

Immediately answered.

For some reason, Lizbet became a little jealous.

Natsume hugged Lizbet and stepped back, distancing herself from the guardian angel as fast as she could.

Since they were only just being revived, only the nearby guardian angels could come close.

So.

Placing Lizbet on the ground, Natsume raised the sword in his hand.

The sparkling light was even more dazzling than the sun overhead, and the huge energy fluctuations absorbed all the light around it, summoning the flowing wind.

The light and wind gathered, blended, and the swirling tornado blew the hair of the two.

A rainbow appeared in the sky, like a door opened by the sky, and the sword in Natsume's hand was the key to open the door.

Then, there was a roar.

“Excalibur！！！！！”

The impact of the sun, the power that destroys everything, the sharp blade of light energy that cuts through the entire island, bursts out from Natsume's hands! (To be continued......)
