"Yes, Master is the strongest swordsman and will not lose to anyone."

"Yes. So I don't care what happens to me. ”

The master was giving orders, but Tia couldn't accept them. At that time, Master was really in danger.

If the master remains in its current state, the master will

When I think about that moment, I feel a tremor in my heart. If the master dies, so will Anubis. And I was left behind. I was thrown into a twisted world and I couldn't trust anyone. He was thrown into the world alone to become the prey of those who persecuted him.

Thinking about it, my body trembled even more, but Master's voice stopped me.

"Tia, are you going to come? From now on. ”

Tia tilted her head slightly. Master continued.

"The deepest part of this realm is the Temple of Prayer. There, you twin shrinemaidens will awaken their powers and create Ion Grant. What are you going to do after that? Even if Ayn Grant were created, you and I would be you, wouldn't you? \"Want to live together? ”

Tia kept blinking. Tia had already figured out what to do after imagining Ayn Grant. After eliminating the entire world of those who persecuted them, those who saw the world as their enemy, and those who made the world so ugly, Master and Anubis will live together in Ayn Grant. The three of us spent a quiet and peaceful time in a paradise where no one disturbed us and no one polluted us.

Tia had always dreamed of that moment and had come to this point, but now that she thought about it, she didn't tell her master about it. It's finally time to say - Tia clenched her fist in front of her chest and opened her mouth.

"Yes. Even if the world is destroyed and Al Ayn Grant is created, I will be with my master. I will be with the host. \"

"Why"

Tia tilted her head again. The master bowed his head and continued.

"Why are you so obsessed with me? If you're with me, you're going to make a lot of enemies and end up with a bunch of shit, so why are you with me? yes, why do you care so much about me? ”

An unusual question from the master. Things that Master seems to care about. The content was so simple that Tia felt like she was missing out. There is only one reason why I am with a master full of enemies.

"Because everyone else is shit except Master."

"Teeth?"

At this moment, the master was stunned and opened his mouth wide.

"The humans of this world want to kill me, calling me a rare creature. The other NPCs, who undoubtedly followed the rule of not harming humans, were all killed. They're also a bunch of bastards who want to kill me. ”

However, the master is different. Master didn't try to kill me like a bastard, he kept me alive, he protected me. He taught me how to live and fight with strength. Thanks to this, I can now kill rotten people with peace of mind and never be killed again. I'm sure if it wasn't for the master picking me up, I'd have died a long time ago, just like the other NPCs.

As a weakling, he has long been eliminated by the strong. ”

Master's horn pain could not be cured. However, it has gone from being fully open to being semi-open.

"Also, Master gave me a friend named Anubis. Master gave me a friend who was there for me when I was alone. Master and Anubis are the whole world to me. Master, as long as Anubis is here, I don't need anything. "Otherwise, there are only two people I can really trust, and that's Master and Anubis.

So, even after the creation of Aingrant, I continued to work with Master. Wherever you go, I will follow you, master. No matter how difficult it is, I will fight side by side with Master! ”

After Tia finished speaking, she found that her words were full of passion. This is something I couldn't do before I got along with Master and Anubis. I did learn a lot from Master and He also helped me the most.

\"So, I'm going to create Ayn Grant for the master. I'm going to create Ayn Grant and destroy all the bastards who persecute the Master to protect the Master! \"

By this time, Tia was finally able to suppress the words in her heart. The master, like Tia just now, kept blinking. It seems that he no longer knows what is happening. Maybe I said something strange? Master sighed deeply, and the anxiety in his chest began to rise after handing over everything that needed to be brought out.

"What? What the hell are you? You say such things so casually, you make me feel surprisingly calm, trust me. You. Ever since he came, things have gotten weird. ”

"Mastery?"

Finally, the master raised his head. He had an unusually bright and intense smile on his face.

"So, are you going to protect me? Don't talk about it. I don't need anyone to protect me. Of course, even you don't need to. You're the strongest swordsman, so that's rightfully so. \"

"Ah, that's right."

I left it to my fever and said something casually. This time, I angered Master. However, Tia's idea was betrayed in the next moment.

"I like it, though. Since you've said so, I'll let you go with me. Then, I will make you the second strongest swordsman in the world. \"

Tia's expression suddenly brightened. My heart was filled with joy and I felt like I was about to explode. The master continues the level.

"For this reason, work hard in the future, let me see how strong you are, and prove to me that you can really eradicate these disgusting people."

This time, Tia nodded as her master commanded.

Soon it will come. Soon the two shrine maidens will be together, and those despicable humans will be wiped out. A paradise was created for the Master, for himself, and for Anubis. The long-awaited world is coming. Tia also began to walk towards her master, who regained his strength and strength and began to walk, her heart beating wildly with joy.

The destination is the "Hall of Prayer".

"Kirito, we're almost at the prayer shrine. \"

"Ahh But I didn't expect you to say something like that. You'll be surprised, really. ”

Kirito and his party have reached the deepest part of the newest realm, the Fortress of Otrum. I'm not sure if the cardinal system was planned that way, but the ancient castle in the center of the fortress of Otrum was supposed to be a prayer temple, which would be the final point of the Prime Minister's mission.

Built a long time ago and only emerged after the destruction of civilization, this quaint ruin may be the best place for twin shrine maidens to awaken their powers. There are a lot of ruins of forts and castles in the real world that blend in with temples dedicated to great gods, so they don't look out of place. This is the typical way Cardinal gets in touch with the world of the internet and learns about real-world mythology.

Kirito, who is located near the center of the temple, has two companions by his side. One of them is the Prime Minister, who is forced to awaken as a twin shrine maiden in this place. The other—more precisely, one—is Kirito's "demon", the wolf dragon Ruilan.

The trio formed by these two people is Kirito's current team, as well as the team that captured the prayer temple. My other friends are waiting at home or in town. Seeing such a gathering, Gelan made a 'sound'.

"Going with these members is actually a one-on-one battle between Kirito and Genesis. It's okay, Kirito.

Waiting for us in the deepest part of the Temple of Prayer are the Genesis and Chief Twins, who are also advancing in exploration like we are, but who are working to complete the creation of Ayn Grant, the great cataclysm they are trying to prevent. Two sisters. Moreover, Genesis also has his envoy by his side, the black wolf dragon Anubis, so there are actually three.

These three can be said to be the regional bosses of the Otrum Fortress, and from now on, Kirito and they will challenge them.

"I don't mind. Because that's what the Prime Minister wants. ”

I should have brought more friends here. When Kirito had to go here, he tried to hold a strategy meeting to assemble a crusade against Genesis, but was immediately stopped by someone's suggestion. That person was Plemir walking beside Kirito. To everyone's surprise, she said, "I want to go to Genesis with Kirito, alone." ”

"Prime Minister, I'll ask you again, but I think that's fine."

The young prime minister, who said this, nodded to the dragon knight who was protecting her. The Prime Minister's face is filled with a strong will, making you forget that he looked like an inorganic machine at first.

"Yes, I want to talk to her, I want to get to know her, she plays the same role as me, the one who was protected by creation"

If Genesis is in the prayer temple, her twin sister will be with her as well. I wanted to figure out what the sisters were thinking, if we really couldn't understand each other. If we can understand each other, I want to understand each other, and if she is still suffering, I want to alleviate her pain. However, if everyone is together, she may become vigilant and cause more pain. That's why I wanted to go with Kirito and Leilan to meet her - this was the Prime Minister's insistence at the time.

Kirito who heard this story, not only Kirito, but also girls such as Shino and Asuna also stopped. For a small group of people, it is too dangerous to go to Genesis using digital drugs to gain superpowers. We all tried to convince him that we should still go.

However, the prime minister never changed his opinion and did not try to cancel the deal. The Prime Minister's will is so strong that it seems pointless to try to use leverage to push it. Everyone looked puzzled, but after thinking about it, it was also convenient for Kirito.

Genesis is a malicious player who uses the illegal act of digital drugs to become the world's strongest swordsman and is willing to do whatever it takes to cause a catastrophe that will destroy the world. For the survival of this world, we really have to make decisions.

And, for Genesis, there is no point in simply beating it. It's also a player, so if it's defeated, it will respawn and eventually attack Premier, bringing disaster to Cardinal. To really stop it, you'll need to fight Genesis alone or with a small group of people. Only a strategy that can be implemented at that time can truly prevent creation.

Kirito had already figured out the plan and told his friends. After Kirito explained the strategy, everyone agreed. Although he couldn't get rid of the worry in his heart, he still sent Kirito, Reran, and the prime minister to the prayer shrine.

Kirito replied to the prime minister who initiated the party.

"yes, that girl must be in pain. If we accelerate because we are close to the Genesis Star, we need to stop it immediately. ”

"Yes. I don't think that person wants to be in the current situation either. If he's on Kirito's side, I think he'll be able to make himself feel better. I hope something like this happens. But I still don't think so. "I know what I want to do or how I feel, but I do know that. ”

I felt a strong affection for that girl from the premiere, whether it was because she looked exactly like me or because she was my only family member. The Prime Minister would love to meet the girl. That's why I'm here. Kirito couldn't help but think so.

Moreover, what the prime minister said is also what Kirito thinks. That girl had been oppressed by humans, felt terrible, and was suffering all the time. Because humans have defiled her, she has an unnecessary desire for revenge and is determined to take revenge. It was our humans who made her act so violently.

So, as human beings, we must stop her and purify her of the impurities that have accumulated in her body.

Many opportunities await in the prayer hall. A chance to stop the cardinal disaster, a chance to solve the problem with Genesis, a chance to help her.

We've come this far to make all of these things a reality. All that's left is to take every opportunity and turn it into reality – thinking about it that way, I feel a wave of ambition and strength fill my body.

"Okay, let's go help that girl!"

Kirito gave the order, the prime minister and Lei Lan both nodded, and the three of them began to move forward. The goal is to pray for the temple and that's it.

After passing through the stone wall, you can enter the temple. There are dim lights everywhere, and you can't see any monsters clearly. Despite the important role of the temple, it is not guarded and the law and order is outrageous. What's more, there are no traps to repel the intruders. If it's true, it's tantamount to asking a thief or robber to come in and steal.

Perhaps because of the intervention of the cardinal system, all the monsters were cleared. After this quest, will the skeleton and knight monsters be able to run around?

Regardless, the temple without guards and patrols was unnatural and felt even more eerie, but because there were no obstacles, I was able to walk faster.

As I walked through this large, dimly lit temple that was not as complex as a labyrinth, I found a place of light. Where the light from outside falls in a beam is a large staircase. It continues upwards. When I opened the map window, the destination was at the end of the stairs.

We finally arrived at the decisive battle. The moment of truth is just around the corner. Once this is the case, everything else can be done. Kirito shouted at the Prime Minister and Lelan, and after confirming that all three had made up their minds, he began to climb the stairs.

As we climbed up step by step, the light grew stronger and stronger, and the wind began to blow. There seems to be a connection with the outside world. I wonder what's going on in the deepest part? Kirita walked up the stairs with some doubt and interest in his heart.

At the top of the stairs is a blue sky. Unlike under the stairs, there are no ceilings and the space is open. In fact, there is not even a wall, so you can see the view directly outside.

As far as the eye can see, you can see the scenery of the Otlam Fortress and the gentle wind that flows forever. Looking up, the sky is a contrast of blue and white. It was an open-air observation deck.

However, the trio did not think that this was an observation deck. In the depths of an open prayer room with no walls or ceiling, three shapes exist. It was shaped like the one I saw on the Forest dungeon map a few hours ago, and it was my opponent for the final battle.

"Yo, the brave Kirito. So you came at my command. \"

A tall young man with blood-red hair combed back and dressed in a black combat uniform. Genesis, like Kirito, was a swordsman known as the "Black Dragon Swordsman". Behind him stood his messenger Anubis, a dragon with black fur, an armor-like carapace, and four wings as clear as a wolf. And in Genesis' hand was a giant sword that appeared to be Anubis's tail. It is characterized by a black blade and a gold pattern reminiscent of hieroglyphs.

Genesis shares the same name as the patron god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology, and is flanked by Anubis, a wolf-dragon who resembles in appearance, and is armed with a sword made from a part of the dragon's body. Genesis really resembles the god of war in Egyptian mythology. The fact that he possesses supernatural powers also adds to his sense of being a mythical warrior.

\"Ah, here they are. Now we have two shrine maidens, Genesis. \"

"Yes, if you don't come, I'll kill your cronies and take them away, but I think you can make a wise decision."

Genesis's provocation was as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary seems to have happened. I was able to come here in perfect condition. That's probably what makes it so exciting.

"So, are you motivated? Do you really intend to destroy this world? ”

\"Ah, that's right. I'm going to destroy the world and become a hero beyond you. But you're the same way, right? Stop me and become a hero Kirito again. Isn't that what you meant? "Do? ”

"I didn't mean to, but I was right to stop you, I can't let you do whatever you want anymore."

Genesis let out a "haha" and sneered. Are you provoking me, or are you provoking me without me knowing? Although Kirito was a little worried, he immediately turned his attention to Genesis. Genesis swung his greatsword lightly, ready for battle.

"Hey, don't mess with me, I'll take this guy myself."

Hearing Genesis's order, the girl next to her took a step back. By the time Kirito arrived, she was ready for battle. He probably intended to fight alongside Genesis, but Genesis stopped him, and he retreated. Kirito also sent a call to Plemir, who had a twin relationship with the girl.

"Prime Minister, it's going down. Genesis is me. They block it. I've been talking to the girl ever since. ”

Pleimir looked worried, but eventually nodded as Kirito told him, and then retreated. He seemed to know that even if he wanted to talk to the girl in front of him, he couldn't get through now. In order to convey the Prime Minister's feelings to the girl, he must first stop Genesis.

Immediately afterward, Genesis burst out laughing and jumped violently. Just as Kirito pulled out his twin swords in surprise, Genesis landed on Anubis's back and straddled him. Anubis roars loudly and welcomes his master, who has fulfilled what they call "dragons and men".

"Now, let's get started. A battle for the fate of the world! ”

As soon as Genesis finished speaking, Anubis flapped his four wings vigorously, kicked off the ground, and rose into the air. After closing a vertical distance from Kirito and the others, Anubis glanced up, took a breath, and then swung down sharply, firing an electric jet bomb from his mouth. Not just once, about five shots in a row.

The red-black, sinister electric bomb, reminiscent of the electric bomb of the underworld, pours down like a meteorite and explodes as soon as it hits the ground, triggering an electric explosion. The rain-soaked altar chamber is engulfed by a storm of lightning, but it doesn't directly hit Kirito and Rilan. Was it a miraculous failure to hit, or was it not hit from the beginning because it was a warning shot? Either way, the combination of Genesis and Anubis may be the one I guessed next.

After the dust cleared, Kirito looked at Leilan. The wings of the sky that lead to the sky where his people are are are also here. There are many things that can be done there and can't be done here, but the Divine is not something that cannot be done. Kirito kicked the ground off the ground and leaped down, just like Genesis had just done, landing on Leylan's back, straddle him, and grab his mane.

"Lei Lan, let's go!!"

\"We'll definitely stop him this time, Kirito! \"！ \"

As soon as Lei Lan's 'voice' came out, he kicked off the ground, flapped his wings, and took off into the air. Perhaps due to the removal of regional bosses, it seems that the free flight restrictions over Fort Otrum have been lifted.

When the 'Black Dragon Swordsman' in front of me roared, the Black Wolf Dragon, which received the sound, spewed electric bullets one after another, pouring down on me. Lilan, the white wolf dragon carrying me and my partner, jumped to the side without receiving my command, or instead dived down to dodge. The electric bomb that swept past us crashed into the city wall and exploded. The sound of explosions came at us.

In SAo, I used to be called by the two names "Black Dragon Swordsman". The people I dealt with managed to get the "beast" with the same name as the "Black Dragon Swordsman" in this world. An animal trainer who wields a great sword. "Genesis", a word that means creation in mythology and the Bible, is the incarnation name of the "Black Dragon Swordsman".

The Genesis on his back has a pitch-black fur, a luxurious armor-like carapace with golden lines running through it, a pair of horns that extend to the sky and merge with the ears, and a sharp wolf outline, and a back. He was a wolf dragon with a distinctive pair of pitch-black wings around his waist, and his name was Anubis. Officially known as "Dark Dragon Name Black Dragon Anubis", he was Genesis' partner.

On the other hand, the man carrying me on his back had white-gold fur and armor, symmetrical to Anubis, a sword growing from his forehead, a beautiful golden mane around his head, and a wolf growing on his shoulder blades. The dragon is unique in that it has a pair of pure white wings on its back. It was Lilan, a race officially known as the "Guardian Stegosaurus Upoot".

Genesis and I are both black dragon swordsmen, but each other's colors are perfectly symmetrical. Moreover, both are said to be named after the wolf god that appeared in Egyptian mythology. I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of coincidence or if there's something else. However, I don't have time to think about these things anymore.

"Black Dragon Swordsman" Genesis, and the dark dragon Anubis. Both are adversaries to be despised.

"I guess. The other side is more motivated than ever. If we let our guard down, Lilan and I will both be in danger. ”

When he answered the "voice" he heard in his head, Anubis was driven by the book of Genesis to his feet and made a gesture that seemed to be gathering strength. Immediately after, a reddish-black electric current flowed around Anubis, eventually forming a sphere the size of a cannonball. As time went on, the number grew, and there were already about five.

"Eat me, hero!!"

Genesis shouted, not forgetting to provoke me. As if it were a command, Anubis looked up with his wings as if to unleash his accumulated strength. The red-black ball of electricity floating around Anubis suddenly began to move, flying towards us. It's the same thing that is emitted when you breathe. If you stay away from the line of fire, you won't get hit. With that in mind, I gave the order to dodge, and Lilan flapped her wings desperately, jumped up, and withdrew from the line of fire of the torpedo shells, quickly closing in on Anubis.

"-What!?"

The next moment, Lilan's body shook violently. As I grabbed the bristles with all my might, I heard a disgusting cracking sound coming from my right side. Did you hit something? I immediately checked Lilan's right side. Lilan's right wing, the tip is made of golden energy, which has a damaging effect on the tip. He wasn't supposed to do anything that would hurt him until just now. What kind of harm is this?

The voice answered my question.

"It looks like there's been some deviation in his thunderball trajectory. So that's what happened\"

"Homing bombs? You're saying he can still use such a technique? ”

"The tracking performance itself doesn't seem that high, but it's worth a look anyway. Even if you think you've avoided it, don't relax.

Anubis, like Lilan, has four wings that fly in the sky and seems to be more agile than Lilan. Although he had been chasing her for a while now, he had already shown the ability to dodge Lilan's aura with a movement that completely defied gravity. In addition to this, it also indicates that homing flash bullets can be fired. It can move in the air at high speed and launch self-guided torpedo bombs, like a missile-loaded fighter.

Both are the same wolf dragons, but the other has better specs. This is enough to prove that Genesis has never neglected the cultivation and strengthening of "dependents". From your point of view, you can say that he is a mirror of the "animal tamer".

However, the purpose of Genesis is to destroy the world. The world was on the brink of destruction because of the desire of Genesis alone. I can't allow that to happen. The Prime Minister and her twin sisters – they must not be given the power to destroy the world.

Furthermore, we understand that what Genesis did was unforgivable from the beginning. I'll let him prove it to himself in this fight. That was the end of the book of Genesis.

To do this, we must first defeat Anubis, who protects him. No, depending on how you do it, you can weaken it. In any case, keep Genesis away from Anubis.

\"Well, it's worthy of the hero Kiritoro! I'm also good at "Demon Messenger"! \"

As soon as Genesis provoked me again, Anubis began to descend sharply. And just like that, I jumped into Outru?? The space between the walls of the fortress.

Since Fortress Otrum has been activated without a boss due to the power of the cardinal system, the flight restriction has been lifted. Both Lilan and Anubis can fly freely in this sky. Genesis seems to have made the most of this. No, I think he had a lot of fun.

"He jumped into the fortress."

"It seems that you are well aware of the high flight power and handling power of the Royal Beast. Anubis can fly without hitting the wall.

The AI used by the "Beast Tamer" is even more advanced than the AI of the boss monster. Some of its abilities include the ability to fly into tight spaces without hitting walls. The system will automatically help players avoid hitting walls, unless they do so on purpose. That's why Genesis was able to make Anubis jump into the cramped fortress.

The problem is, however, Lilan doesn't have that ability. Because she is much more advanced than the Magic Pet's artificial intelligence, she will not be automatically helped by the system. Therefore, to fly without hitting the wall, Yuichi's method is to rely on your senses. In fact, it is a much more advanced artificial intelligence than Anubis, but now it is counterproductive.

"Lilan, can we go?"

``... Let's give it a try. However, there is no guarantee that you won't hit a wall. In case of emergency, you should evacuate and escape in time.

Emergency rescue is a method of escape from a fighter jet, including seats. I could only jump, and I didn't have a parachute. If the rerun crashes, that's it. I couldn't help but feel anxious about my partner's lack of confidence.

"Please fly away so I don't have to."

"I'm waiting for this sentence. Let's go! \"

The next moment, Lilan began a steep descent. Surrounded by the sudden acceleration of a roller coaster ride and the sensation of a falling fall, I held Lilan's back with both hands. Soon after, Lilan began flying between the walls of the castle that Anubis had entered. The wall was closing in on him in an instant, but by subtly repeating his ascent and curve, Lilan was able to fly through the narrow wall.

From every point of view, it was a flowing wall, and the distance between me and Lilan seemed to be only about ten meters. There's barely enough room here to spread your wings. It does look like he can barely fly.

After flying through such a narrow passage for about ten seconds, I saw a dark shadow appear in front of me, obscured by the wind. It's big and looks like it's flapping its wings. It seems that they have caught up with the fleeing Anubis. The chase was over – and the next moment I thought about it, and my eyes widened.

The black shadow is getting bigger and bigger. It's as if they're approaching us fast. No, that's right. Anubis is flying over.

We're coming at high speed. The fleeing side is approaching the pursuing side.

"Are you serious...!?"

The next moment I couldn't help but let out a low cry, and the black shadow emitted a red-black light.

Explosions could be heard in the distance. The sound of a big energy explosion. There was the sound of an electric shock. This is the sound of an electric bomb exploding from Anubis. Anubis controls a powerful red-black electric current that creates an explosion that burns and numbs the target. Anubis's electric shock will never allow his prey to escape.

I've met Tia many times. Those who were burned by the electric shock of Anubis and chopped to pieces by their masters were dying. Those who were eliminated.

Among them, the one who was eliminated was the 'Black Dragon Swordsman'. Anubis will soon burn that black dragon swordsman. The Black Dragon Swordsman was completely hacked and burned to death by the Invincible Master and Anubis.

It looks like they've been patiently surviving, but this time it's over. The victory of the Master has been decided, and the "Black Dragon Swordsman" has become the exclusive property of the Master. Master will win, so don't worry about anything. Besides, you have to keep the owner waiting. Now I'm going to prepare for the creation of Ayn Grant.

Tia turned back. A little further away was a girl. She has the same dark blue-black hair as Tia, and not only does she wear the same hair accessories, but her face and clothes are identical to Tia's. According to Master, she is Tia's family and Tia's twin sister. Those who have the same power and the same mission.

By praying to the twin sisters, they can awaken as shrine maidens and complete the creation of Ayn Grant. They can fulfill their master's wishes and create their own paradise.

Tia shouted to the girl.

"The victory or defeat of the master has been decided, come on, pray with me."

The girl's reaction was convulsions. This is the sudden move of the girl who has been watching Tia since the battle between the master and the 'Black Dragon Swordsman'.

Place the sacred stone on the altar here and pray. Then we will awaken as twin shrine maidens and complete the creation of Ayngrant. That is the task entrusted to us. \"

The girl stared at Tia. It felt as if the story wasn't finished, and Tia was frustrated.

"Didn't you hear? You, hurry up and get the holy stone."

"-Prime Minister"

The girl's words interrupted her, and Tia couldn't help but stop. The girl puts her hands on her chest and clenches them into fists.

"My name is Prime Minister, and I'm your twin. What is your name? I want to call you by name. ”

When the self-proclaimed prime minister said this, something suddenly occurred in Tia's mind.

My name is Tia. It was given to me by Master. One day, Tia is attacked by some dirty humans while she is in the wild. At that time, Tia thought she was going to die because she had little left to live. It ended with humans being killed. That's what I thought.

However, it was the master who accompanied Anubis who stopped him. The master suddenly appeared and killed all the humans with overwhelming force, but Tia I didn't try to kill him. The master approached the surprised Tia, and although his attitude was aggressive, he restored Tia's life and told her, "Stay with me." ”

After that, he gave it to me. The name is "Tia".

The first gift that Master gave me, I don't have a name yet. That's the name.

"Tia. This is the name my host gave me. \"

"Tia, my twin's name is Tia, right?"

When Tia is called to the premiere, she realizes that for the first time, her name has been called by someone other than her host. It was natural because he came without telling anyone. Tia regains consciousness and talks to the Prime Minister again.

"Now, Prime Minister, let's do what we have to do. Pray together to destroy Ayngrant and the world, and then create a new one. A pure world where there are no humans except the master. A quiet and peaceful world. That's our world. \" role. ”

Tia finally told the prime minister that she didn't know how many times she had thought about it. This is the mission that Master has given me. Create Ayn Grant and destroy the humans who are persecuting the world. This is the purpose of our twin sisters and twin shrine maidens. It's not that the Prime Minister doesn't understand this. Because they are identical twin shrine maidens.

However, for some reason, the Prime Minister shook his head and looked at me with optimistic eyes.

"The world will be destroyed because of our prayers. Isn't it? \"

"Yes. That's our role. The power within us is for this purpose. ”

"I don't think so. That's not our role. Our power, the inhuman power that you may also have, is not for such a thing. ”

Tia's eyes widened. The prime minister denied that the roles assigned to him were different. It's different from what you said, and more importantly, there are words in it that I don't understand, which makes it even more strange.

"I have a strength. This is something that only manifests itself when I become 'selfless', so I say 'selfless power'. I got help with what you gave me. "It.

Thanks to this "power of no Gamuchu", I am sometimes able to protect those I consider important, and it also supports me when I am in trouble. I think there are many reasons why I've been able to live so long, but one of them is definitely because of inhuman power. ”

“”

But, as you say, this "power of no Garmuchu" is something that can bring the world to ruin. I'm sure you have it in you, too. "Without the power of Gamuqiu". You're trying to destroy the world with your "infinite power", aren't you? ”

Tia didn't understand why she was being asked, so she remained silent, but when the prime minister asked her again, she spoke.

"Indeed, your so-called 'inhuman power' is to destroy this world, purify it, and create a new world." and destroy the world. I've said this many times. ”

"I don't think so. I don't think our 'selflessness' is for this kind of thing. I can't let you do that. ”

Tia gritted her teeth. I don't want to hear that answer. But the premiere continues.

"You said that this world needs human beings, and human beings are the people who calmly persecuted Master and us, and finally fought each other, killed each other, and destroyed each other, because of the existence of such people, this world has become like this." So twisted, it has become unclean.

Disaster? It's about humans. The catastrophe of this world is for all humans except the master. ”

"Humans don't always kill each other, fight each other, and destroy each other. Even among human beings, there are many people who care for each other, live in harmony, and work together to overcome difficulties. Kirito is the one who protects me. It would be wrong to destroy all humanity together. ”

Tia gritted her teeth and made a sound. No matter what you say, they will find a way to refute it. I don't want to hear that answer.

"Why did you go to such great lengths to reject me? What are you thinking? What are you thinking about to protect humanity? What exactly do you want? Yo, then!? \"

The Prime Minister looked surprised. Finally, his face slowly drooped.

"I still don't know what I want to do, what I think, what I want. But your idea of destroying the world is wrong\" I understand.

Please, Tia. Please don't use your "selfless power" to destroy the world or to create that kind of world. Your 'selfless power' is not for such things! ”

Tia was stunned.

Don't know what you're thinking?

Don't know what you want?

The Prime Minister doesn't know anything, so does he deny us?

I don't know anything, but I just deny it?

When Tia understood this, her heart quieted. It seems that he was so angry that he fell silent.

"You don't know what you want to do, but you're just rejecting and persecuting us. Master said that human beings are selfish people, but it's true, yes. And because you are with those people, you have become so selfish, human, this catastrophe, twists you into a shape that suits them"

The prime minister was stunned and shook his head in panic.

"Oh, that's not true! I'm not distorted."

"-Me"

I don't want to listen to the Prime Minister anymore. Tia forcibly drowned out the Prime Minister's voice with her own voice.

"What I want to do, I have my desires, unlike you, I have legitimate feelings, I tell you, that is"

Just as I was about to say something to the twisted twins, covered in human filth, an explosion suddenly broke out behind the altar. The whole place shook, roared and crashed, as if something very heavy had fallen, and Tia was almost overturned.

What happened? As I turned to the explosion, I saw four figures in the dust cloud. Two of them are large, and the other two are humanoid. Eventually, when the dust settled, its true identity was revealed. The master, Anubis, the Black Dragon Swordsman, and the White Wolf Dragon have descended to the ground.

"Mastery!"

\"Kirito! \"

A voice of the same shape shouted to the two swordsmen.

◇◇◇

When Lilan landed on the top floor of the Temple of Prayer at the beginning of the battle, I jumped off his back and finally got my footing. In front of him were Genesis and Anubis, who were still in the air just now. They are the 'Black Dragon Swordsman' and his 'dependents'.

The Genesis Demon has an unimaginable ability to maneuver, not only can it easily fly through narrow passages, but it can also suddenly change direction and launch a surprise attack. I never thought I'd do anything like this, and Lilan and I have been hit by Anubis' electric bombs many times, but Anubis's electric shocks never knocked Lilan down.

Anubis is certainly a "demon" who is good at air combat and ground combat, but Lilan, an ultra-high-performance AI, is even better at aerial melee combat. When they close the distance and launch a melee attack, Anubis is instantly damaged and loses his balance.

Pressed for time, Anubis escaped from the narrow passage he jumped into and began to climb quickly. Just as I reached the top floor of the Temple of Prayer, I tried to fire a self-guided projectile, but Lilan was rushing?? Feng's timing hit me with a flaming breath and then launched a blitz attack. Anubis was hit by a powerful fire bomb that slammed into the stone slab on the top floor of the Temple of Prayer, crushing beneath Lilan.

Even when Anubis fell, who was so large that he didn't know how heavy it was, the Temple of Prayer did not collapse, and it seemed to have amazing durability and did not move at all. I thought that dropping Anubis might destroy the Temple of Prayer, but my fears proved unfounded.

However, I didn't have time to feel at ease. A black-clad Great Swordsman stands next to the fallen Anubis. The battle against the opponent I had to deal with finally began. The air battle with Anubis was only a preliminary battle. The master of Anubis, the great sword mighty Geneiss, wields his treasure. This can be a warm-up exercise.

"I praise you, the brave. Isn't it a great achievement that you were the first to defeat Anubis? ”

"This is a remarkable achievement. You must be very generous to say something like that. ”

Anubis, the "demon" of Genesis, has been cornered until the meter turns red. On the other hand, re-running the meter is a yellow meter?? Table. In terms of remaining health, re-runs prevail. If Anubis loses, Lilan says he will fight Genesis, but he doesn't seem to have any problem with that.

"I guess you can afford it. You already know you can't beat me. Well, I sincerely compliment you for finding the same level as me, although from now on I will crush you. ”

"The same state?"

Genesis looked at my hand. I have two swords in my hands. One of them is the Explainer, a dark magic sword made from Lilan's tail cut off from Genesis. The black sword, which shimmered beautifully in the sunlight, also caught the attention of Genesis.

"Your black sword is the tail of the 'Demon Pet'. The Pet's tail was cut off and turned into a sword. Isn't it? ”

"You did this, is there anything wrong?"

"I'll tell you this time, so is my sword. This sword is the magic sword of Anubis's tail. \"

I think that's what I thought at the time. Genesis' greatsword is clearly not a store-bought sword, nor is it player-made. Anubis has a tail that looks like it has been cut off. From this, I surmised that Genesis was using Anubis's tail as a sword, and I was right.

But how did he do it? If I mess with the "familiarity", it turns into a blue cursor - Genesis seems to sense my confusion and keeps talking.

"Do you want to know how I got it? That's right. If you use a magic pet, you will get a blue cursor. That's why I have a monster that can do a cutting attack. I have a monster that cut down Anubis. I tried to attack Anubis whose tail was chopped off as material. ”

Something was moving in my chest. I immediately realized it was anger. Genesis's means are unforgivable, but so is the circumstances under which he acquired the sword. I didn't think about how much pain and suffering my 'darling' would feel after the tail was chopped off.

"So it's your weapon?"

"yes, I'm smart, right? It's not like you. ”

There is some truth to what Genesis says. Genesis came up with methods I couldn't think of, executed them, and really gained power. It can be said that Genesis has power that I do not have.

Genesis prepared his greatsword and struck his right temple twice with his right hand. It's the same one we fought a few hours ago.

"You!"

"That's right, I'm not like you. Strength, power, dimension, everything! After all, I gained the ability to evolve!! ”

Genesis screamed as if he was nervous. The volume of the sound is not so much a human voice as an animal sound. Since then, the book of Genesis has changed.

A strange heat continued to emanate from his whole body, and the sweat on his skin and the moisture in the air continued to evaporate, causing white water vapor to form around Genesis. A smile of murderous and violent joy appeared on his sweatless face, and although it was not winter, his breath was white.

The situation remains the same as it was then. He used power that he shouldn't have used and turned into a beast.

"This is the second kill, I have to keep this fact in mind, no one in this world can beat me!!"

The red-haired sword beast kicked out, and the ground roared up. Transformed into a beast, Genesis came to me almost frame by frame, swinging his greatsword, as he claimed, wanting to kill me in an instant. However, thanks to my dodge when Genesis arrived, I managed to prevent Genesis' declaration from becoming a reality.

The black sword shattered the altar floor like a glass window, and the stone slab flew into the sky. Ordinary players can't generate this kind of power with attack power alone. In order to draw such a great deal of power, Yuichi's solution is to use a digital potion like 'Crimson High' to make everything in him an outlier.

Genesis' attack eloquently shows that he is a transgender gamer, but it makes no sense. Still not enough——。

"What's the matter, I can't kill you right away!"

In retaliation for the constant provocations, I slashed at Genesis with a combination of an interpreter and a silver one-handed sword, which was slightly less powerful but rare. I felt the response, but it wasn't like I was cutting and digging out something. A sharp metallic sound rang out, and the area in front of me flashed with an orange-red glow. My twin swords were blocked by the greatsword of Genesis.

"It's late! I see, I see, everything about you!! ”

Genesis provoked with the voice of a beast as he unleashed a barrage of attacks. He crossed his swords in front of him to form a defense, but when he blocked the first shot, the attacks flew like a barrage. A sword attack reminiscent of a storm or tornado. It seemed that as long as he let his guard down a little, his defenses could be easily breached.

Moreover, this is not caused by sword skills, but by the body of the Origin itself. The average player simply can't reach such speeds. Abnormal attack power, abnormal speed. I had thought of this in the battle a few hours earlier, but everything in Genesis was not normal.

\"！？ \"

I was amazed at the time. The Book of Genesis is indeed not normal right now.

Indeed, like that time, he was unleashing a barrage of sword attacks. But compared to then, I feel that Genesis is generally slower now. Before, I couldn't see any sword muscles, not even arms and legs, but now I can see Genesis' sword muscles. I couldn't help but want to see where that greatsword came from.

An anomaly occurred in Genesis, and the sword muscle, which was not supposed to be visible, is now visible. If it was the same as a few hours ago, I doubt I have a chance of winning, but I might be able to do that.

He quickly concentrated and continued to block Genesis' sword. The book of Genesis keeps moving forward. Slashes from above, flashes from the side, shovels from below—attacks coming at me from all angles and directions, but I still defend with all my might. My fingertips began to go numb with such a strong impact, but I persevered.

"Wow!!"

"Oh!"

Just then, Genesis began to lunge. I guess he realized that my defensive posture wasn't going to protect him. That's the opportunity.

"This is it!!"

Jumped sideways and landed on Genesis' greatsword. Genesis had just stabbed out, his sword belly facing upwards, and he landed successfully. When I stepped on it and pressed my center of gravity against it, the greatsword fell with tremendous force, and the tip of the sword pierced the ground.

"What!?"

Genesis seemed to be boasting that he could read my movements, and Genesis stopped in surprise. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I jumped from my greatsword and came up behind Genesis, ready to aim my sword at the empty back.

The system's assisted movement supported my body, and the sword glowed pale blue.

"Ahhh

With a roar, he swung his sword with both hands. Immediately imagine a dance-like movement and apply it to your body to achieve it. Slash up, slash, stab, hem - slash Genesis from all angles and directions, and the sword dances.

In the end, the total number of slashes reached 15, and I used all my strength.

"Haa

I was attacked by interpreters dressed in blue water. The sword was sucked into Genesis's back, and eventually the light exploded, sending Genesis flying in front of me.

Sixteen consecutive hits with the dual-wielding sword technique "Starburst Stream".

Genesis was blown away by the most powerful of the dual-wielding sword skills—though not yet up to the secret skill—and fell to the ground, let out a muffled grunt, and tumbled. However, perhaps because of the increase in physical ability, Genesis took advantage of the momentum of the tumbling and took a passive position and stood up.

At that point I had lost my stiffness and was ready to fight back, but Genesis didn't do that.

"Damn, you're supposed to be a hero, aren't you? Fuck me right away. ”

"I don't want to be weak enough to give up easily, but I've learned something from fighting you, and your strength is truly remarkable."

Genesis tilted his head and said, "Oh? "I'm just saying what I know.

"I'm afraid your ability can't even be compared to the frontline players. To be honest, you can't play at your level normally. If only it was played normally. ”

"And then? Are you trying to say I'm not a regular player? ”

"Oh, just like me."

Genesis's eyes widened. I don't know if I was surprised to be treated like the same person, or if I was just surprised.

"Are you the same as me? What do you mean? ”

"It was a really surprising reaction. You are the same as I am. ”

"Huh? Don't be stupid, it's all the same."

I interrupted Genesis. There should be no room for opposition.

"In this vast gaming world, it's not surprising to have players like us. I believe that everyone will want to reach a higher level than everyone else, no matter what they do. Especially. I understand that once you get the 'smell,' you can't go back. ”

Genesis' eyes widened, then immediately narrowed. He seemed to suddenly become more wary of me.

"'That smell'? It can't be, that's what you are."

"Then I ask you, how did we conquer Ayn Grant? Why do you think we survived and cleared Sword Art Online? It would have been impossible to conquer that game of death in the normal way. No way. ”

Genesis, the hero Kirito who knew I was Ain Grant, finally began to get angry. My mind has collapsed.

"What? Nothing like this can happen! No matter what you do, you can't break through the security of the cardinal system, you can't break through at all! ”

"No, that's not true. No matter how perfect the cardinal system is, there are still things that we don't pay attention to. ”

Genesis waved his arms as if to mow the grass in front of him. He told me to scream loudly.

"That's why I say it's weird! Tymera wears a Nerve Gear instead of an Amusphere. Only by modifying the current Amusphere can you turn off the forced logout function! I'm the only one in the world who can make it. "And reach the 'height of evolution'!! I haven't been able to do that for years."

I asked Genesis a question, and he was immediately busy.

"Amusphere's makeover? Genesis. What have you all been talking about lately? "Amusphere's makeover? Genesis. What have you all been talking about lately? ”

I was able to convey this sentence firmly to Genesis. The recipient, the Black Dragon Swordsman, rolled his eyes and remained silent with his mouth half-open.

\"Huh? After transforming the Amusphere, he used a digital potion called "Evolutive high". I've heard some outrageous stories. \"

I heard a familiar voice and felt a person behind me. When I looked back, I saw a little girl in a red robe – a design that brought back our most unpleasant memories. Beneath the hooded robe was a well-defined face, long silver hair, and reddish-purple eyes.

This is Seven, one of our friends and one of the operators of "SAo". Thanks to the knowledge that number seven is in the robe, I am not surprised by the red robe. Naturally, Genesis didn't know the red-robed girl, and was obviously very unhappy.

"W-What? What is that? \"

"Oh, don't you know who I am? My name is Seven, also known as the genius boy aesthetic doctor, Seven-colored Arshaping! ”
