"The same is true for Temei, these guys learn extremely fast, and their growth ability is not at the same level as other NPCs, so they can do such things."

It seems that the twin shrine maidens in Genesis have the same personality as imagined. She also has the same extraordinary speed of growth and learning as the Prime Minister. Perhaps this is why he was able to carry out Genesis's orders without difficulty. And because Genesis taught him, he didn't have any hesitation or hesitation when killing NPCs.

I didn't expect him to take advantage of her nature like this - the prime minister gritted his teeth and pulled Kirito's hem. It seems that he found something. Just before Kirito confirms, something strange happens. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed and became part of a grassland. The village occupied by the union of Genesis and Anubis disappeared without a trace, and Genesis was unusually quiet.

As the quest progresses, the quest map disappears and returns to the original map. Kirito immediately opens the window and checks the task log. The quest "Fifth Sacred Stone" has been completed, and the next quest has been completed.

"'Take the two goddesses to the prayer hall and have them pray at the altar.' ”

Hearing this, Kirito and Genesis spoke at the same time. The "Temple of Prayer" is located in the deepest part of the fortress of Otrum, right in the center of the entire map. The destination has been set there.

\"Hey, that's the Temple of Prayer. If you go there, the mission will be completed and Ion Grant will be born. \"

Genesis's eyes lit up with joy. It was an ominous, dark glow that was markedly different from what pure gamers saw. Kirito asked the current Black Dragon Swordsman.

\"Are you really going to create Ayn Grant? You haven't forgotten what the world would be like if that were the case. \"

"Of course. The world will fall apart, but that's okay. "You can't do such a big event with your hands alone, right? What kind of player wouldn't want to do that? ”

Genesis glared at Kirito. His eyes were different from what he had just done. It's like looking at people of the same race.

\"And, aren't you the one who wants the birth of Ayn Grant? Ayn Grant's "Black Dragon Swordsman Kirito". That place is like your hometown. \"

Hearing this, Kirito swallowed with difficulty. I've been curious about this for a while. It is not known if Genesis is interested in the former Ayn Grant, or the SAo survivors. I don't know if he knows what happened to Ayn Grant.

This prediction was correct. Genesis knew that he was active in Ayn Grant as the 'Black Dragon Swordsman'. Having said that, there's something on the market called "SAo Event Records", so it's no wonder it's so well-known.

Kirito shook his head at the question posed by Genesis, who knew about Ayn Grant. No one wants to create Ayn Grant. Neither the SAo survivors nor anyone else wanted the floating city to be reborn.

That place has already been decided.

"I don't think so. The birth of Ayn Grant was something that no one wanted. \"

"I see. But both this guy and I want it. That's why you should give me that mob. This time, I don't think they're going to move forward unless we put both of them together. ”

"Rejected"

Genesis sighed deeply. His expression looked like disappointment at what he already knew. I guess this development is predictable.

"I think so. Come on, kill this guy and take your twins. ”

The girl who accepted Genesis's order nodded, "Yes, master." Then he got his great sword ready. The girl's face and posture were marked with obvious hostility and fighting spirit. It seems that he genuinely wanted to carry out the commands of his master's Genesis. Kirito noticed that the Prime Minister took a step back as if he was frightened by the girl's expression, and forced the Prime Minister to step back further.

"Ahh

Immediately after, the girl's giant sword struck Kirito. Kirito immediately raised his twin swords and assumed a defensive stance. The girl's greatsword was blocked by the two swords in front of her. He successfully defended himself at a critical moment. However, the girl gritted her teeth and tried to force Kirito's sword into her body.

Seeing Kirito and the girl fighting, Genesis burst out laughing.

"Hero, what are we going to do? Can we kill that thing? He can't hurt us! After all, he is a gangster hero!! \"

Genesis, as always, stirs things up. No, worse than usual. He laughed at the situation as much as he could.

"This..."

As soon as Kirito made a sound, the girl suddenly relaxed, pulled the sword away from Kirito, and with the help of this momentum, swung a spinning slash that drew a horizontal line. Kirito took a step back to dodge, but the girl immediately regained her position and launched a pursuit. Kirito had no choice but to defend himself. I can't react like I would when I faced a humanoid monster.

This girl is the same NPC as the Prime Minister, so if you kill it as a player, it will immediately go to the blue cursor. No, before that, she was a living being - if she was injured, she would end her own life. Is such a thing allowed?

"You have rejected our way of life, and you are the one who finally persecuted us and disappeared here!!"

The girl wields a giant sword with unimaginable power for her body. Maybe it was because Genesis trained him, but apparently there were other factors. Something could be felt from the twin swords that blocked her sword, as well as from her fierce expression.

It's hatred and anger. The humans inside the girl—hatred and anger at those who persecuted them and tried to plunder them—helped her move her body, infusing her greatsword with explosive speed and power. She burns her hatred and anger, turning it into the energy of attack.

It's our players who give her the power she shouldn't have. A girl who was once as pure as the Prime Minister is now tainted by the filth of the player, harboring hatred and anger in her heart that no amount of burning can quench.

It seems impossible for Kirito to kill such a girl. The girl's screams made Kirito, who was defending himself, even angrier.

"Why! Why don't you fight back!? ”

"Why not? We have no reason to fight you! I don't want to lose this world, and I don't want to lose the people who live in this world, including you. I don't want to lose anyone. There's no way you can cut it off. ”！！”

A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face, and her face was stained with hatred and anger. The power suddenly disappears and the speed is lost. Kirito's words seemed completely unexpected.

"I don't want to lose either?"

"yes, are you really okay with that? Do you really want the world to be destroyed!? \"

The girl's eyes widened and she made small movements. He was frustrated. Didn't he expect Kirito to say such a thing to him, or was his words really to the point? In any case, the girl's power was weakened. Your chance is now.

"Dula!!"

Just as Kirito was about to push the girl's greatsword away, he was knocked away by something coming from the side.

"Wow!!"

A feeling of discomfort similar to being cut by something sharp ran through my whole body from bottom to top. It felt like being slashed by a big sword. Before Kirito could understand what was happening, he fell to the ground, let go of his sword, and rolled away. An unpleasant sensation spread through my chest, as if all the air in my lungs had been squeezed out.

It was as if gravity had become stronger, and Kirito couldn't move his body normally, but he still barely lifted his upper body. I saw Genesis with a proud face, carrying a big sword on his shoulder.

"You're not alone. You've let your guard down, hero Kirito. \"

Kirito gritted his teeth, injected power into his body, and instantly withdrew the dual swords in his hands. The girl stood there dumbfounded, her eyes agitated, showing no sign of being attacked. This worries Kirito. Despite all the hostility, hatred, and anger she had shown just now, she couldn't feel it from this girl now.

Isn't it because the girl's heart is full of negative emotions towards human beings? Just as Kirito was thinking about the girl, Genesis pulled the girl away from the girl who was still standing. The girl staggered from the weight of the greatsword and looked at Genesis.

"I can't let you do this after all, I'll do it for you, you be careful."

The girl looked surprised and immediately said, "Okay, master." Then he took a step back. Immediately after, roars and vibrations rang out, and Kirito turned his attention to them. The demon of Janesis, Anubis the black wolf dragon, began a battle with the white wolf dragon Lilan. The roar and shock now seemed to be the result of Anubis's charge hitting Lilan directly, causing Lilan to lose her position.

Both Anubis and Genesis were motivated. He is seriously trying to steal the Prime Minister, the Holy Stone, and complete the creation of Ayn Grant.

"It's not worth it. I am the strongest swordsman in the world, and I will teach you from now on. ”

"Can you do it? You can do something like that. ”

"I mean, I'll tell you what I can do. I'll tell you about the evolution of the advanced ...... Evolve!! ”

\"Evolution high\" - Kirito did not miss this sentence. This is the first time I've heard this term. Does Genesis' mention of it mean that Genesis intends to use it in the future?

Also, "evolution" means "evolution" "evolution". What is "evolution"?

Genesis's gaze did not take off the vigilant Kirito, and tapped the fingers of his right hand on the right temple. I haven't been able to confirm that any skills can be activated with such an action. What does Genesis want to do? As soon as he thought of this, Genesis suddenly pressed his right hand on his head and raised his voice.

\"Ahhhh Came in!! It's the best feeling!! \"

Genesis's screams don't sound human. It was as if there was another human form, a beast in human skin roaring. As if to prove it, the appearance of Genesis changes. A strange scorching breath erupted from his mouth, and a thin layer of white smoke enveloped his entire body. This is the water vapor effect. I don't know what the reason is, but Genesis seems to be covered in water vapor.

"W-What!? \"

Ignoring Kirito's reaction, Genesis slashed at Kirito. Kirito was immediately startled by the burning heat on his face and hurriedly took a step back, but by this time Genesis had already approached and unleashed the exact same slash as the girl just now. The great sword gently grazed Kirito's abdomen.

"Early!?"

While Kirito was speaking, Genesis had already launched his next attack, a slash. Although the speed of the sword flight was already so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye, Kirito used his sword to cross and block it in an instant.

"Gah!"

The moment they caught the Genesis greatsword, a shockwave swept through the two of them, screaming from every muscle in their bodies. A loud metallic sound rang out, and unusual sparks flew everywhere. It was a defense that was almost broken.

The only thing that can unleash such a fierce attack is a giant monster with a sword, a knight-type evil god enemy who sometimes roams the battlefield. While this was supposed to be a trick that players couldn't do, Genesis gained the ability to reproduce it.

This is not a strange thing for Yui. I felt a strange heat from Genesis. Genesis's temperature appeared to be elevated. The heat leaks from Genesis to the outside to the point that the mere touch of it will almost burn your skin. The effect of water vapor that appeared around Genesis seemed to be the result of the complete evaporation of the moisture in the air and the sweat that flowed from Genesis' skin.

By the time this happened, Genesis's body temperature had already risen. This is possible because this is a virtual world, but even if it is possible, in the current book of Genesis, there are extremely extreme cases.

Genesis was so excited that he waved his greatsword. The greatsword came at me from all angles and directions, and I couldn't stop defensively. It's a miracle that he's been able to protect himself. I'm tempted to look for a chance to fight back, but I can't grab anything from the raging genesis. Genesis is a storm or tornado with a human appearance. Clearly, Genesis is becoming more powerful. Thinking about it, the first time I saw Genesis fighting, Genesis opened the menu during the battle, and then he became extremely excited, and his combat power increased explosively. I've heard about digital drugs from Alice before. When I compare these things, the answer becomes blurred.

Wasn't Genesis using digital potions to enhance its own combat power at that time?

The reason why Genesis looks like a transgender player is probably because they really resemble each other.

"What's wrong, what's wrong! Don't let me get bored, Hero!! \"

The attack of Genesis shows no signs of stopping. Kirito is cornered and can't find a way out.

If Genesis had used digital medicine, it would have behaved the same as when I first saw it. However, the current creation did not act like that, but only showed combat effectiveness after making an unfamiliar action. The ultimate combat power that players can show. It was clearly a different situation then.

Moreover, while Genesis was doing this, something strange happened to Kirito due to the defense mechanism of the cardinal system, but now Kirito doesn't. There is no urge to intervene in your mind and smear it. Everything was so different that I could only make every effort to understand it.

Creation has undergone a lot of changes and has reached a level that normal humans cannot reach. It's exactly the same as "evolution".

"I'll get it done! I'll finish it!! ”

The continuous attacks of the "Black Dragon Swordsman" made people wonder if they really had human abilities, and finally broke through Kirito's defenses. When Genesis slashed me, my arms were forcibly pulled to the left and right. My hands lost strength and couldn't get back to their original positions. The corners of Genesis' mouth jerked up, and he raised his greatsword in both hands. This is a kind of Karachi partition position.

"The strongest Black Dragon Swordsman in this world is me!!"

At the moment when Genesis' roaring sword was finally about to cut Kirito in half, Kirito seemed to feel that the world had slowed down. Genesis' greatsword slowly approached. If it was so slow, it could have been avoided, but unfortunately Kirito's body didn't speed up. My body doesn't listen to me. Just like the world, it's in slow motion. It seems that there is no other way but to block Genesis's attack.

In this state, it is impossible to resist the attack of Genesis. This is the end.

I wonder what happens after that. If Genesis beats him, then Genesis wins. Genesis stole the Prime Minister, stole the Holy Stone, and activated the Cardinal Calamity. Will the premiere they have been protecting so far and the world they live in be taken away? Is this world ending so soon?

Am I going to be robbed again? Will it end with nothing saved and everything taken away, as happened to the countless tragedies that happened to Ayn Grant?

Am I going to lose something important again?

I won't give it to you

When I closed my eyelids, it was as if I heard a voice. I thought I had misheard, but the voice came out of my head clearly. As if guided by that voice, Kirito opened his eyelids.

The steaming figure of the 'Black Dragon Swordsman' disappeared from my eyes, and so did the storm caused by the greatsword.

“”

Kirito was stunned.

What happened?

Why didn't Genesis come?

What's wrong with me?

Kirito didn't seem to be able to grasp anything, but immediately after, he heard a noise and his gaze was pulled back. Just now, there was a 'Black Dragon Swordsman' who was setting off a sword storm, but a new figure appeared on the opposite side.

She was wrapped in a black battle suit, completely covering her face and head, and no of her outward features were visible at all. However, judging from the overall body shape that is slightly smaller than Shino and Filia, as well as the body shape with narrow shoulders and wide hips, she is a woman. However, their appearance does not match the person Kirito remembers.

"What the hell are you doing! You're in my way—"

Still excited, Genesis stopped at this point. He seemed very surprised by one thing. Kirito, however, first turned his attention to the woman's hand. A woman holds a sword in each hand. He's a "dual-wielder" like me. When I confirmed this, I heard a woman's voice.

"You can't steal it, I won't give the real Black Dragon Swordsman to anyone, I'll never let it be taken away"

A woman's voice doesn't sound like an adult. It was the voice of a girl my age, or a little younger than me. Kirito, however, felt that her tone was somewhat familiar. I felt as if I had heard it somewhere, but before I could remember where or when, I heard it again. This time it was Genesis' voice.

"That cursor!"

Genesis was taken aback, his gaze just above the girl's head. Kirito's gaze is also drawn to the past, and he is forced to grasp its true identity. Immediately after, the girl burst out laughing.

\"I'm the one who just wants to destroy the Black Dragon Swordsman. It was decided from the beginning. If you're going to get in the way, I'll kill you first! Black Dragon Swordsman. \"You're a fake!! ”

The cursor above the girl's head is blue, and she laughs in a crazy voice. Kirito suddenly remembered the story he had heard before.

Female players armed with dual-wielding weapons, dressed in black, attack monsters and NPCs on the field with a crazy voice. Kirito uttered the nickname in a weak voice.

"\"Black Cyan Cursor\"!! ”

He's in a room in some virtual world.

In a room with white walls and white floors, different from reality because of the virtual, he saw the world unfolding in the window in front of him. The square, which was bigger than my face, was an ordinary sight until now.

That scene made him laugh from the beginning.

yes

Inside the window, two swordsmen were slashing at each other. The two of them fought with the power of evolution, which was definitely different from what he had ever seen.

The two of them were the ones who led the way, but neither of them was aware of their existence. They don't know that they are under the guidance of the same person. I thought maybe they would realize it when they met, but it seems like the two of them chose to fight each other.

It made him smile. His people couldn't help but mutter.

- Two people who use evolution meet, but they don't know each other and start fighting. Well, if you say that it looks like this, then it looks like this is an interesting development.

He stared at the window. I noticed a figure squeezing each other next to them. A black-haired, black-clad dual-wielding swordsman. The wrinkles on her face are fine, and if you look in the wrong direction, you might mistake her for a woman, but you can tell from the look in her eyes that she has a certain strength and determination. The hero of his people has long been concerned.

Even before they met the two swordsmen who were on a rampage outside the window, their most trusted swordsman was already by their side.

- Are you still there? Of course it's you, and it's a really good development

However, the black swordsman remained motionless, as if he had been overwhelmed by the other two. He knew that it was dangerous to provoke these two people. This is an obvious conclusion for a person with a good understanding.

He tilted his chin and smiled when he saw a swordsman and two berserkers.

- So, my dear monsters. Let me show you how.

The battle between Kirito and Genesis, two black dragon swordsmen, is interrupted by the invader Chinyusha, and the tide of the battle changes dramatically.

"The blue cursor is too good, I'm going to crush you with my own hands!!"

"Aha! I won't let you get in my way!! I won't let anyone get in my way!! ”

Genesis, the "Black Dragon Swordsman" who has acquired anomalous combat abilities that is reminiscent of demons, is engaged in a battle with a young girl.

The girl's whole body was wrapped in a black coat, and her face was obscured by what appeared to be a hood. I couldn't see its head and face, but it let out a maniacal laugh and brandished its twin swords.

The air currents on the grass, which were supposed to be a breeze, became ominous around the two of them, and the sound that permeated the two of them turned into a series of violent metallic sounds.

"What's—What is this?"

Kirito, who had been fighting Genesis just now, was completely left behind. I used the Recovery Crystal to restore the health reduced by Genesis' attack, but Genesis didn't come at me. He was completely captivated by the girl who interfered with the battle and concentrated on fighting her.

Kirito was also fascinated by the girl. On closer inspection, the girl's hood resembles a mask that covers the area above her mouth, revealing only her mouth. The corners of the girl's mouth curled strangely, and she almost always let out a maniacal laugh.

Maybe it was because he saw such a scene, Kirito couldn't help but muttered after swallowing a mouth full of saliva.

"That's \" blue cursor in black \""

Kirito had heard the story of a mad creature descending into this world before. In this world, if you hurt an NPC or mistreat a "pet", the cursor will turn blue and become a "blue cursor". If this happens, you won't be able to enter the city, and the monsters and NPCs on the field will attack you all at once, leading to the worst-case scenario and making it difficult to continue the game.

So, no one to mess with, and the last one can only quit the game.

However, there was one person who continued to play the game even when it happened. A female gamer dances with two swords as if enjoying the feeling of being attacked by everyone in the world, and uses the experience points and equipment she has gained to attack those who attack her, constantly strengthening herself. One day, a woman in black suddenly appears and slaughters everything.

The creature's name is unknown to the informant, as he is known as the "Black Blue Cursor" because he is dressed in black. However, since Kirito heard this story, he has not encountered the 'Black Blue Cursor' on the field. That's when I started to think that the black blue cursor might be based on someone's misinformation and wasn't really there.

This idea is wrong. The "black and blue cursor" does exist - it finally appears in front of Kirito and the others. The black-clad Blue Cursor appears and attacks another Black Dragon Swordsman, Genesis, calling him an impostor. Genesis, who was in an unusually high state, attacked the "Blue Cursor in Black" and pushed Kirito away, and the battle began.

It turned into a blue cursor and became a target for everyone in the world, but the power of the 'black-clothed blue cursor' that destroyed everything in the world was far beyond Kirito's imagination. In fact, in both SAo and ALo, he defeated a powerful being, and he followed the path of Genesis, who even he thought he was going to lose. The "Black Blue Cursor" follows the slashing storm of Genesis, which is exceptionally enhanced by the power of digital potions and other powers, and launches a counterattack.

Neither of them unleashed any moves that looked like sword skills. He fights only with attacks emanating from his own body.

When Genesis unleashed a vertical slash, the "Black and Blue Cursor" dodged and the ground was crushed. Genesis showed a frame-by-frame opening, with the black-clad Blue Cursor trying to counter with a slash, but Genesis blocked everything. Let's unleash a flurry of stormy attacks in an attempt to devour the 'Black and Blue Cursor', which will also slash with two swords, creating a storm in an attempt to devour Genesis. It should be.

The blue cursor of Genesis and black is no longer human. It's a beast. Two black behemoths that closely resemble humans are crushing each other. Beasts in the SA:o world that shouldn't exist are trying to destroy each other's existence. Kirito couldn't help but think so.

At the same time, I also had questions. He was supposed to be human, but it was the digital medicine that turned Genesis into a beast. "Blue Cursor in Black" calmly follows Genesis, who has used the power of the elixir to transform from a man into a beast. Such a move would not have been possible without the use of the same miracle medicine as the creation of the world. So is the black blue cursor a transgender gamer?

No

It must be so.

First of all, the "Black Blue Cursor" is unusually abnormal in his combat abilities, and most importantly, he is in a strange state of excitement similar to Genesis. Nothing produces such a state of euphoria like digital medicine.

Like Genesis and the others, the "Black and Blue Cursor" also uses digital drugs to gain extraordinary combat power, killing monsters and NPCs on the field. The reason why I can't stop laughing is probably because of the side effects of using digital medicine.

And even with the blue cursor, experience points are constantly accumulating, so every time she logs in, she is forced to fight countless monsters, gain experience points that are far from huge, and keep getting stronger. Ironically, the world that prioritizes the elimination of the Blue Cursor has given her the Blue Cursor immense power.

"But why is he?"

Why did the "black and blue cursor" get to this point? Think about it, before the battle with Genesis, the 'Black Blue Cursor' said something like this.

"I'm the one who wants to destroy the Black Dragon Swordsman, I won't steal it, and I won't give it to anyone." She's admitting her inner obsession, of course.

"Black Dragon Swordsman" is me. That is, the 'black and blue cursor' was aimed at me from the beginning? Is it because he insists on being a blue cursor and gaining power because he wants to target himself?

If so, what is its purpose? Why should you aim for yourself? Why are you attacking me until now?

No matter how hard I tried to think about it, I couldn't seem to understand the idea and purpose of the black-clad blue cursor. And, even though I wanted to talk to her, I couldn't seem to get through. All I could do was watch the battles between the beasts, each with its own prey. Kirito felt that he couldn't get in. If you get caught up in the feud between these two, you'll end up being torn to shreds.

Should I wait until one of them collapses? Or should I leave these two men behind and run away on Geran's back? I'd like to run away if possible, but the important thing is that Raylan is fighting Anubis and it's not an option. Anubis's face turned red and went berserk, and Lelan was fighting back with all his might.

And although Anubis is like that, Kirito doesn't have any impulses. Is it because the prayers of the former premiere and Shino have been heard, or is there something protecting me? Kirito didn't have time to think that far.

"Huh!?"

The battle between the Black Beasts has changed. Genesis and the black-clad Blue Cursor fell to their knees, motionless. Both of them breathed on their shoulders, and both supported their bodies with their respective swords like crutches.

Both held their heads with their right hands. I could see Genesis's face, he was pale. When the blood drained, he was sweating profusely, and his face became ghostly.

No, it's a human face. Genesis changed from a demon beast back to a human. The same is probably true for the "black and blue cursor". The two of them went back to their old ways.

But what exactly happened? I don't know why this happened all of a sudden. How did these two men change from beasts to man?

Eventually, the girl from Genesis, who was waiting behind, ran to Genesis and borrowed her shoulder.

"Master, are you alright!?"

Genesis only groaned in response. Immediately after, Anubis, who had been fighting Raylan, flew over and took up a position very close to Genesis.

Escaping the fierce attack, Leylan roared at Anubis. , Anubis refused to leave his master. The Black Wolf Dragon, once so obsessed with crushing his enemies, now puts ensuring the safety of his master above the battle.

"Blue Cursor, I've come this far, damn me, that's it!!"

Genesis said resentfully, stood up by the girl's shoulder, and with all the strength of his legs, jumped onto Anubis's back with the girl. Genesis looked down at Kirito and told him to squeeze it out.

"Hey, valiant hero, the final battle is a battle with the Temple of Prayer, and we'll see who is stronger, and if it doesn't come, I'll kill that mob!!"

Anubis dropped the sentence as if he was close to his limit, and led his master towards the sky. Kirito could only watch blankly until the black wolf dragon carrying them disappeared into the sky. The grassland area, which was originally a battlefield where two black beasts fought, has now returned to the calm when Kirito and the others were looking for a picnic spot.

Kirito felt like it was all happening in a dream, but then he heard a voice that brought him back to his senses. The Prime Minister, who had been behind me all along, suddenly walked towards me.

\"Kirito, are you alright!? \"

\"Ah, somehow. And that's not all."

Kirito looked at the rest of the people, as well as the prime minister with a worried face. A female swordsman wielding two swords, wearing a black coat similar to her, and even covering her face with a hood and mask. A girl I didn't know at all, and I didn't understand why he was targeting her. Even Kirito had a hard time screaming.

"You"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the prime minister who shouted "black and blue cursors". However, his body was trembling little by little. The 'black and blue cursor' in front of me is terrifying. It's no wonder that she's the beast that fights with such crazy action. In fact, if Kirito doesn't work hard and doesn't send it out, his body will start to tremble. The madness and fear exuded by the "black and blue cursor" are not unusual.

As if in response to the Prime Minister's voice, the "black and blue cursor" slowly wanted to stand up. His head moved silently, and his face turned to me.

Ever since I met him, I couldn't see the face of the blue cursor because he was moving so fast, but the mask integrated into the hood covered everything above his mouth, and his chin and chin were hidden. What you see is the mouth.

However, the skin that was faintly visible on his face was pale. To be sure, it was also attacked by the same singular phenomena as Genesis, and was in exactly the same state. And it's neatly shaped. I don't know much about her other than her mouth, but if that's what she's good at, I'd probably call her a beautiful girl.

Kirito takes a step towards the black girl who covers her face. The target of the "Black Blue Cursor" is me as the "Black Dragon Swordsman". In her mind, I was the prey she should aim for.

But why is this happening? What on earth did I get her to do this? What was the reason for her to turn into a beast against herself? Hearing this, Kirito couldn't help it.

"What the hell are you going to do? What do you mean when you say you're going to destroy the Black Dragon Swordsman? Are you targeting me? ”

The "black and blue cursor" was silent. He just looked at Kirito with a hidden expression. The mask seems to have special specifications, so it seems to be visible from here. However, nothing can be confirmed from here.

This time, Lei Lan continued to ask the 'Black Blue Cursor', as if he was tired of not getting an answer.

"Who are you?" Why don't you just say your name?

Lei Lan looked like he would attack the 'Black Blue Cursor' at any moment. In fact, since he behaved so fiercely and knew that he was targeting his master, he would naturally regard the "black blue cursor" as an enemy.

However, even after receiving Relan's "voice", the "black-clothed blue cursor" did not make any response. It's like stubbornly refusing.

But that was the time. The black and blue cursors suddenly stopped moving, as if they had been electrocuted. When Kiritto immediately drew his sword and Leylan tried to pounce, the "Black and Blue Cursor" bent his knees and fell to the ground. After that, the 'HP bar' quickly decreases, becomes empty, and then disappears. The body of the "black blue cursor" turns into a light blue silhouette.

"Ouch, wait!!"

As soon as Kirito, who was panicked, stretched out his hand, the girl's body exploded immediately. Countless polygon fragments scattered and disappeared without a trace. It seems that the inability to fight and the exit occurred at the same time.

Kirito was stunned again and looked up at the sky. I ended up hearing nothing. Although there are many things I want to ask, the "black and blue cursor" disappears without even hearing the name. The sky may be littered with pieces of her, but collecting them won't lead to anything.

That's it. Even if you collect the broken pieces, nothing will happen. Always-.

"Kirito"

Kirito responds to the worried Prime Minister. I wanted to call again, but the Prime Minister continued to call before me.

"Do you think there's anything like this in this world?"

Kirito's eyes widened instantly. For the Prime Minister living in this world, Genesis and the "black cursor" are a strange threat. I guess it's hard to believe that such a thing exists.

What kind of things do we bring to the world? The world has now lost its original form because of human beings, and has become twisted and twisted. Kirito couldn't answer, as he couldn't help but feel that what they brought was distorting the world.

Unable to find a picnic spot, Kirito gathers everyone to his home. At that time, perhaps because it was close to 11:00 a.m., the usual members of the attack—the warriors who had defeated the Ayngrant massacre together—all came into the world. This is a great opportunity to talk about what's going on there. Kirito recounted to his friends everything that happened there.

Almost everyone let out an exclamation at first, and then listened intently to Kirito's story. Everyone had an expression of disbelief and then a look of sadness. If I had the opportunity to hear this story, I would have had the same reaction as my peers.

After Kirito finished speaking, Sirika and Lifa asked him to raise his hand. Both of them had expressions full of regret and sadness.

"I can't believe you let the Prime Minister's twin sister attack the NPC"

"It's horrible! How could you do such a thing!? \"

"I thought he wasn't in his right mind, but it turned out that he was such a bastard and did something crazy!"

Finally, Lizzebet expressed her anger. But this doesn't just apply to Genesis. Genesis tried this method and actually got the Holy Stone, which means that it is an approved way to play. He was outraged that this approach was accepted as one of the strategies. Kirito felt the anger too, and the others seemed to feel the same way.

Next, Egil spoke.

"Prime Minister's twin sister, do you really hate us players that much?"

"There is no doubt about it. But we players were the ones who made her do it. She didn't have any problems. ”

Hearing Kirito's answer, Ekil frowned, and Strea whispered sadly.

"Originally, he was an NPC with no fixed personality, if he met someone who was more serious and had a better affection for him, maybe he wouldn't have worked so hard"

Not only Streya, but Yui, Lelan, and Jupiter all had sad expressions on their faces. There may be some things where the same AI thinks about each other. Alice has said before, and I think so, that I want to protect her and be friends with her. In a situation like this, I think it is even more so. Subsequently, Kaeki, who was beside Yuki, asked Kirito about it.

"Genesis attacked Kirito, meaning he became the "Orange Cursor". Although the "blue cursor" is avoided, it is also possible to change to the "orange cursor". \"

"The penalty for the blue cursor is that you can't continue the game. The reason why he avoided it shows that he is trying to complete this task. From now on, his goal is to be prime minister, and it is very likely. ”

Philia said as if to add to Kirito's words. A window appeared in front of me with the details of the task.

"The next mission log reads: 'Take the two goddesses to the temple of prayer.' Genesis was serious about stealing the prime minister. ”

"I'm not going to let that happen. No matter what Genesis thinks, I can't bear to complete a mission that will lead to the destruction of this world. Let's use our own hands to stop Genesis and the mission. ”

Diabel nodded to Filia in response. That's it. It's our team that has pushed this mission so far. Now that I know it's something I shouldn't have done, I can't forgive Genesis for trying to get the job done by intervening.

Plus, we're going to stop the Prime Minister's twin sisters next to Genesis. I can't let her carry the cross and complete her revenge on humanity. When everyone agreed with the knights of the former Ayngrant Grand Guild, two people approached Kirito. Argo and Spiegel. They are two well-informed people.

"Key boy, it's important to talk about the Prime Minister's mission and the book of Genesis, you've met him."

"I'm guessing you've been attacked by the "black and blue cursor". ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's atmosphere became tense. After talking to Genesis about Plemir's mission, Kirito recounts how he was invaded by the Black-clad Blue Cursor and how he witnessed the battle between the Black-clad Blue Cursors. But we haven't talked about what happened after her. Kirito nodded, and Argo replied in a low voice.

"Well done. So, what did you find? Please tell me, even if it's just a small thing. ”

"Even the informant doesn't know the 'black blue cursor'. What's going on? ”

Kirito answers Argo and Spiegel's questions. I would like to answer if I can, but I have no choice but to answer.

"The black-clothed blue cursor is a transgender player, so he fought me with the goal of eliminating the Black Dragon Swordsman."

There was a commotion in the room. The fact that the "blue cursor in the black" actually uses a digital drug may be an important factor, but most importantly, it may be aimed at Kirito. Then Shino walked towards Kirito in surprise.

"What do you mean?" What does it mean that the black and blue cursor is aimed at you? What does it mean that the 'black and blue cursor' is aimed at you? ”

"I don't quite understand either, but he did say so, the Black Dragon Swordsman will be destroyed, and I won't let him get in his way, he has been saying things like this when he was fighting Genesis."

At the time, the black-clad Blue Cursor attacked Genesis because he couldn't tolerate someone trying to steal his prey. I still can't believe it, but that's all I can say. Similarly, Asuna probably couldn't believe the story of the "black-clad blue cursor" and shouted at me uneasily.

\"Kirito-san, don't you remember anything? Do you remember anything about the "black cyan cursor", or the person you thought was the "black cyan cursor"? \"

Kirito could only shake his head. From then until now, I have been searching in my mind, but I can't find anyone who fits the description of "blue cursor in black". If I heard the name, I might remember it, but unfortunately I don't even know it, so it's even more useless.

"Not at all. I've never seen or heard of anyone like that. I can't pinpoint their names, whys, etc. ”

\"I can't believe he's going to go out of his way to target Kirito so hard, I don't know what happened to him. \"

As Asuna said, Kirito couldn't help but be curious about the blue cursor in black. If I'm not careful, I feel like I'll be engrossed in the black blue cursor. Who the hell is she? When was the last time you did something that made you a target?

Just as I was coming up with an idea, Argo nodded and shouted at me.

I see. It's a pity that I couldn't ask his name and motives, which is good news, Genesis is also a tra?? NCE player. In this way, I will be able to understand his strength. We found out. Those guys weren't the right players then. ”

"The black-clad Blue Cursor begins to suffer and quits while fighting Genesis. And then Genesis did the same thing, what happened to make it all happen? Both of them suddenly became stronger. I mean, I don't understand why you started suffering. ”

The anxious Ariki was followed by Klein. He looked unusually difficult.

"If you're a trance player, you're using digital drugs, right? I've done some research and it seems that the use of digital drugs places an unusual burden on users. Not only is it addictive, but it can also be addictive. It is said to be extremely dangerous if used in excess.

Did Genesis and the black-clad blue cursor suffer from symptoms of overuse of digital drugs?

The people who answered Klein's question were Yui and Jupiter, arguably experts in this area. Yui began to speak first.

"The excessive secretion of norepinephrine and adrenaline caused by digital drugs will definitely cause various abnormalities in the body. During a full dive, Amusphere prevents pain from working, but psychological symptoms do not. It will appear in

"Since their brains are in an abnormal state, it's no wonder they suddenly start to suffer. However, such players are generally forced to go offline by Amusphere's security features, but for Genesis and 'Black Blue Cursor', only the "Black Blue Cursor" has been logged out. ”

Kirito nodded in response to Jupiter's inquiry. At that time, the black-clothed blue cursor collapsed, as if it had reached its limit, and withdrew, but it was not known what happened after the creation. Moreover, the 'black and blue cursor' seems to have reached its limit and collapsed. Normally, I would be forced to quit before then.

Rain is the one who answers this question.

"So, does the Nerve Gear you use not have a force logout feature? Or maybe you also have a Nerve Gear like us. ”

"It's unlikely. In the aftermath of the SAo incident, the government continued to confiscate Nerve Gear. No one has a Nerve Gear anymore. Unless it's a special case like yours. What? The thing they use is probably Amusphere. \"'

As soon as Lei Lan, who had regained his werewolf form, said this, Wren said, "I see. Kirito thought.

So, if you use Amusphere, how do you avoid being forced to log out? The mechanism of Amusphere, created by Akihiko Kayaba and Jupiter's father in conjunction with Nerve Gear and cardinal System, is a black box that even researchers can't reach, let alone ordinary people. Like Nerve Gear, Amusphere is a member of cardinal.

After all, no matter what you do, there's still room for Amusphere

"Yes!?"

\"Kirito!? \"

I couldn't help but raise my voice and grab everyone's attention. Shino called out to him, but Kirito couldn't respond.

AmuSphere is a VR device that retains the black box, but removes the electromagnetic pulse attack function of the Nerve Gear brain, and is extremely secure. Akihiko Kayaba was not involved in its creation - something that wasn't in Nerve Gear was attached to it. Akihiko Kayaba will be the first to remove this feature.

Kirito shouted.

"All you have to do is remove the safety device!!"

Everyone was startled by the cry, and Qi Qi turned their attention back. However, Yui is immediately surprised again and asks Kirito to respond.

"That's right! There are ways to do this. Just modify Amusphere, remove the security features, and you're good to go! ”

"This is it, it must be this!"

Kirito and the only hit it off, and Streya, Lelan, and Jupiter followed suit. But they were the only ones who could keep up, and everyone else wondered what was going on. Eventually, Lizbet made a disgruntled voice.

"Hey, why are such a small group of people so excited? What did you find? ”

In order for everyone to understand, Kirito spoke his mind. The Amusphere is a fully submersible machine developed in response to the SAo incident. To prevent the same tragedy from happening to Nerve Gear, a security feature with automatic logout is installed.

While you can't do it with ordinary technology, if you cut off this safety feature itself by modifying it, you can continue to use digital drugs until your brain reaches its true limit, and usually you'll automatically log out immediately. If it's a work-like situation, you don't have to worry about that.

So although Genesis used digital drugs, he was not forced offline - after the story ended, everyone echoed in unison. It seems that you understand how it works. Immediately afterward, Filia showed a puzzled expression.

"Isn't modifying Amusphere the last thing you should do? I've heard before that if you modify Amusphere, you will be arrested. ”

\"That's right. Transforming Amusphere is a felony and is subject to arrest. If the Amusphere were to be modified to have features like the Nerve Gear, something like the second SAo incident might happen. \"

"Genesis' modification of Amusphere is not shocking. I think they should report the matter to management or the police. ”

Kirito couldn't accept Lifa's offer. The idea that Genesis is transforming Amusphere is just our imagination, and if we're going to report it and lead to an arrest, we need some kind of hard evidence. Neither the management nor the police will take action if there is no evidence.

"In this case, we need evidence that Genesis is modifying Amusphere, but I wonder how we can get something like this."

Everyone began to think about Shino's question. It's hard to imagine Genesis exposing the shameful fact that Amusphere has been transformed. Whatever you do, you'll either be ignored or irritated. I'm sure he won't throw up even if he's tortured.

Still, the book of Genesis should have had a considerable influence on it. With the help of digital medicine, he became the "Black Dragon Swordsman" and ran rampant as the world's strongest swordsman. You're sure to revel in the thrill of mastering the world's most powerful power.

It must be because once you get used to it, you can't go back.

“！”

At this moment, a light flashed in Kirito's mind. "Hey, hey, hey, hey"

Something unexpected happened. I've fallen into too precarious situations.

Tia, who had managed to escape from the hands of the two Black Dragon Swordsmen, was in an unusual panic at the moment. Tia was not alone, there was also the master whose official name was Genesis and the master's companion Anubis. When the three of them are together as usual, Tia can feel the greatest sense of relief. I felt a sense of relief from the bottom of my heart knowing that I was where I was supposed to be, with the only person I could trust.

That's why I love being with Master and Anubis, but Tia doesn't feel easy right now.

"Master, are you alright? You're very pale. ”

The master Tia called to was sitting on a stone just big enough to sit. He sat down deeply, holding his head in one hand and breathing over his shoulder. The owner's fiery hair was now wet with sweat and scattered. Perhaps because it was the first time she had seen her owner's hair fall out, Tia clearly sensed that it was an emergency.

"Hate me, me, me"

The change of master took place during the battle with the 'Black Dragon Swordsman'. The Master fights the 'Black Dragon Swordsman', who promises to help and protect him, but does nothing from the start. The "Black Dragon Swordsmen" had what they needed to carry out their plan, without which they could not proceed. In order to reclaim what the plan needed from the 'Black Dragon Swordsman', my master and I are fighting.

As usual, Master became the strongest swordsman and cornered the Black Dragon Swordsman, but then he intervened. A woman with a blue cursor and an eerie laugh. The woman who even the master warned to stay away was interfering with the battle between the 'Black Dragon Swordsman' and the master.

Of course, the lord intercepted the woman. As her master had warned, the woman's movements were extremely ferocious, but she was still no match for the strongest master. Master finally gained the upper hand, and just as he was about to win, something happened. He couldn't swing his slash like a raging storm and eventually couldn't move, and began to suffer.

Even after Tia and Anubis brought the Master to the fortress of Otrum, the anomalies continued, and the Master continued to suffer.

I was already sweating a lot just now, and my body was quite damp. If you don't drink water, it's dangerous. Tia took a water bottle out of her pocket and handed it to her master.

"Master, water"

As soon as the master looked up, he glared at Tia. The gaze was very sharp—full of anger and dissatisfaction. If the owner talks to her like this, he usually shouts "Noise! Then push Tia away or shake her hand away. If you try to talk to Master when he is in this situation, you will go out of your way to provoke him and hurt his emotions immensely.

It's clumsy, and there's no need to talk to her now. Tia just thought so, and the next moment, the master slowly stretched out his hand and took Tia's water bottle.

Ignoring Tia, who was stammering, the master put his mouth on the water bottle, tilted it, and put the contents into his mouth. He took a sip, then took a deep breath. From there, breathing slowed down, and the pain seemed to have lessened a lot.

"Mastery"

When Tia called him, the master turned his head again. There was no anger in his eyes. It seems that the owner is not angry.

"Tia, you saved me."

Tia was surprised. I intend to do my best to help Master. At that time, the owner rarely thanked her, and for Tiana, being thanked by the master was a very precious moment. Master took another deep breath and rested his elbows on his knees. Tia called out to her again.

"Master, are you alright?"

"I'm sure it'll be fine. I am the strongest swordsman in the world. Use the strongest swordsman who has evolved to the highest level. I think so. \"

Tia nodded, as if she had regained her composure. It has been said many times that Master is the strongest swordsman, and she has seen him many times, so no matter how much he denies it, Tia can refute it.
