Before he could finish speaking, a burst of white light descended, and Kirito collapsed to the ground, his eyes rolling back in his head.
"Kirito!!"
Eugeo quickly helped her up. He hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, but when he glanced around, he noticed that Alice, who had just fallen to the ground, was also getting up and running towards them.
.........
How is Kirito doing now?
"Well, although I really wanted to say that we were just one step away from the worst, an unexpected situation occurred."
"Ok?"
"His Yao Guang doesn't seem to be injured, but strangely, no specific numerical value can be observed."
Despite the previous attack by unknown individuals, Kikuoka and the others remained in the safe zone, monitoring the current state of the "UW" world.
"what does that mean?"
Extremely worried about Kirito's safety, Asuna asked anxiously.
"Yes, it's in a state that can't be kept constant."
If I had to describe it...
"The body's vital functions continue, but the consciousness has disappeared."
Upon hearing this explanation, the expressions of those around him were not good.
"Prior to the shock, his mental state had already been greatly affected and weakened."
"I don't know if it's related to this."
This strange phenomenon left even Higa Takeshi, his assistant, completely baffled.
"Almost there."
Upon hearing this, Kikuoka remained silent for a while before muttering to himself.
"?"
His words left everyone somewhat confused.
"No, didn't Kirito say something like that when we first connected to the control panel over there?"
"Perhaps he did something we don't know about."
"His mental fluctuations and weakness are probably unrelated to the previous battles, and are more likely due to some action he took."
Kikuoka looked at the screen and murmured, recalling what had happened before.
"Mr. Kikuoka, this isn't exactly a good thing, is it?"
"It happened so suddenly, we had no idea what was going on."
Neither dared to speak too plainly; Higa Ken glanced at Asuna and Rinko Kamishiro.
"But at least Kirito is still alive, that's a fact we can be sure of, right?"
"How could I not know what it means?" Rinko replied, supporting Asuna.
"That's fine too."
"However, it's hard to say what his actual identity will be in the Underworld."
"Perhaps it has turned into a mindless ghost?"
The light was not destroyed; it simply "slipped away."
"Then as long as we find it, that's fine."
Having said all that, Asuna understood what she needed to do.
"This"
Upon hearing this, Higa Ken dared not make any guarantees, but seeing the other party's serious expression, he didn't know how to persuade him.
.........
"Infiltrate?"
"But once we get inside, we can cause quite a ruckus, right, brother?"
Using the equipment here, Gabriel, as the commander, is lying on a machine with his accomplices.
They were hired to come here to steal the artificial light (Alice).
Unfortunately, the initial infiltration was met with resistance, and they were unable to control the technicians there. The time required to crack the code was too long, so they had to find another way.
Gabriel's solution was to directly infiltrate the game world to search for it.
However, ordinary accounts were too inefficient, so Crete, a hacker, searched for advanced accounts that could be used.
(There are two on the Dark Empire's side.)
(But that's a bit strange.)
(I found a bunch of random characters with unclear data. Could this also be a game account?)
(The territory it belongs to is neither the human realm nor the celestial realm.)
(Is it usable?)
(It's not as simple as a password; it seems like you need some kind of permission to use it.)
(Fine, I'll use the Black Knight and the Emperor then.)
Despite encountering a strange phenomenon, Gabriel didn't pay any attention to it.
"That's exactly how it has to be done."
"Don't get too excited and ruin things."
Upon hearing Vasak's excited voice, Gabriel merely glanced at him and warned him.
For them, this was simply a competition to win over "Alice".
It's best not to waste time on other unnecessary activities.
After all, it's still unknown what kind of obstacles they will encounter.
Their consciousnesses then began to enter that world.
Identity changed at this moment
Vasak is the Black Knight.
Gabriel was the emperor.
That transcendent status also meant having the power to control a country.
Immediately afterwards, Gabriel summoned a large army in the name of the "Emperor".
……
Human world
The long-established church suffered a sharp decline in members due to attacks by "heresies".
Even the Integrity Knights suffered great losses.
Rumors began to circulate among the people.
Faced with that situation, Eugeo and Alice chose to take the unconscious Kirito away from the place.
"It would be better if you stayed."
"But I'm worried about Kirito."
With a sigh, Eugeo looked at the determined girl in front of him with mixed feelings.
It's not that they're in an awkward situation; at least he and Alice are thinking about how to help Kirito.
It's completely unclear how Kirito saved him; the fact that his seemingly extinguished destiny could be reversed is truly a miracle.
What remains in my memory is probably the unidentified knife I was holding at the time.
Perhaps that's the key, but unfortunately I can't ask Kirito for details right now.
Looking into those lifeless eyes and that familiar face, he could only suppress his doubts.
(Kirito, what are you going to do?)
.........
"Damn it, is there nothing we can do?"
As Kirito's good friend, Klein heard about the situation from Yui and asked anxiously.
Not only him, but all his friends learned about the information here.
"But at least make sure Kirito is safe for now, right?"
"That's true, but Dad's consciousness is in a very strange state right now."
"strangeness?"
"right"
