【Youtongyou】IF WORLD

chapter of the world

6.

"The flaxen-haired boy... the flaxen-haired boy...damn it! How do you find it?" In the old SAO, a member of the killer guild "Smiling Coffin"——PoH, a man whose real name is Vasago Casals , was cursing under his breath at the moment.

Their great Captain Gabriel Miller entrusted him with an important task early this morning - to find another "ALICE", of course... it just sounds important.It is said that it is a defective product without a soul, and it can only be used as a backup for the "Pride of Light". Gabriel especially emphasized that if possible, he must find a way to call back the soul of that young man. The mission doesn't suit him at all.

He wants to kill people, he wants to see those AIs in "Underworld" who claim to be extremely close to humans, trembling under his knife, begging for mercy, being deprived of their destiny little by little by him, and finally dying in despair.The magic sword in his hand - "Friends Cut Bunting", is also eager to absorb human blood to complete evolution.

Although Vasago temporarily suppressed his impatience and obeyed Gabriel's orders, the characteristics given by Gabriel are really vague, only the "flaxen-haired boy" is the only one in this magical style game. In the ordinary world, finding him is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Vasago thought that this would be the worst mission he had ever received in his human career, but after some searching, when the "flaxen-haired boy" came into his sight... he finally understood, On the contrary, he got the upper lottery!

Because beside the flaxen-haired boy, he saw a figure that was extremely familiar to him, so familiar that it seemed to be imprinted on his retina.

"Black Swordsman".

"Cheater".

"The hero who broke through SAO with his own power and saved tens of thousands of players."

That boy had countless titles, but for Vasago, there was only one value of his existence, which was to infect him with sin and despair, and die a miserable death in the pitch-black swamp!

Vasago pulled down his black poncho hat, patted the long knife hanging from his waist, and walked up to Kirito and Eugeo step by step, completely unable to suppress the corners of his mouth that raised unconsciously.

"What a beautiful day, how are you guys?"

7.

"That man's eyes have been staring at you, who is he? Your acquaintance?" Quinella looked at Vasago, and then quickly looked away: "It seems a bit disgusting, it reminds me of Some Elder Elder."

Kirito thought for a long time before answering with some uncertainty: "It seems to belong to SAO... Well, how to explain it, it is probably a world very similar to "Underworld", where if you lose all your lives, you will die.There is a group of guys in SAO who are keen to kill, and he is one of them. "

"So it's your old enemy?"

"It's not to that extent..." Kirito scratched his hair: "I can't remember his exact name, but it's just... Oh! That's right! It's Chudelkin! It's the kind that has no charm, They don’t have much conviction, are full of anti-social personality, and are template villains who can’t do anything but trouble others, and Raios and Humbert also belong to this category.”

"...It sounds really sad."

But Eugeo didn't know that such a conversation took place here. His intuition had already guided him in the direction. Lantreu" one-handed swordsmanship.

"Really? Is this...sword skills?" Vasago seemed to be a hungry wolf who had discovered a dead body, his eyes under the shadow of the poncho glowed with a sinister light: "It was Kirito over there who taught you Is it? It's really interesting... What is he doing? Developing a game?"

Eugeo blocked Kirito behind him, and said in a deep voice, "You know his name... so you are also from "RealWorld"? "

"You know a lot, kid." Vasago shrugged, and slowly moved forward: "Captain Gabriel told you? Then stop doing wasted work and follow me obediently."

Eugeo took off the cloak with one hand, revealing the ice-white armor covered under it... Although he promised Alice that he would not go to the front, he would never evade the battle in the rear: "If you mean As for the Dark God Vector, I have clearly rejected his proposal, and as for you... I have nothing else to say to you."

After saying that, Eugeo rushed forward with his sword in hand.However, the situation exceeded everyone's expectations. The president of the smiling coffin, PoH, who logged in with a super account and had countless killing experience in SAO, was unilaterally suppressed by Eugeo at this moment, and he couldn't even breathe to fight back.

"Hey, what are you kidding... the priority of this foul, are you really human?" Vasago said while resisting Eugeo's combo with difficulty, "how many people did you kill? Compared to That chick, you are the most suitable weapon for killing, right?!"

Eugeo ignored his words, and a storm of attacks landed on Vasago's body, leaving several wounds on his body in just a few moments.

Yesterday afternoon, after he got another memory puzzle piece from Tijie and Ronnie, he already understood that the person in front of him, like Laios and Humbert in the girls' mouths, was a Goblin from the Land of Darkness. worse than monsters.

Therefore, there is no need to hear his words, it is enough to purify his soul with a knife as soon as possible.

"Cough...Damn it!" Vasago took a big step back from Eugeo's sword, but there was already a stone wall behind him, and there was no way to retreat.If this man-made FluctLight emptied his destiny here, it would be more than just embarrassing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kirito in the wheelchair in the distance, and suddenly said: "As expected of the "sword skill" for killing people taught to you by the black swordsman, that man only has this kind of talent! "

Eugeo's attack paused slightly, but before Vasago could get excited, that exquisite sword technique struck again.

"Huh? Didn't your good friend tell you?" Vasago gasped and said loudly while trying to resist, "That Kirito-kun is a real murderer. He has killed dozens of people in the RealWorld without knowing it. There are still hundreds of people? Now he wants to protect your group of experimental animals in this garbage game, don’t you think it’s too ridiculous??”

Eugeo's sword finally brought anger, and the "Night Sky Sword" that was swung with afterimages left several deep wounds and a huge hole on PoH's body.And PoH finally seized the opportunity to cut Eugeo's wrist.

However, the small wound grazed by the blade healed in an instant.

In the melee that ended the mountain range, Eugeo had no time to care about the wounds on his body. The old pain was superimposed on the new pain, and his nerves were soon numb.But now, the self-healing wound seemed so abrupt that Vasago's knife left another deeper wound on Eugeo's arm in a daze.

Eugeo raised his sword to parry his knife, and immediately took a step back, but after a while, the wound on his arm healed again.Almost subconsciously, Eugeo cast his eyes on Kirito who was sleeping in the wheelchair beside him.

The scene that had been expected for a long time finally appeared in front of him, and Kirito finally gave up the last trace of luck.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

This world is not so gentle...

He has wasted too much time. In his constant waiting and watching, Eugeo's "death flag" has already been fully formed. This battlefield is not only his stage, but also the grave where Eugeo is buried.

"Quinella, there is one thing... I want to ask you." Kirito closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

Quinella smiled. "No problem. I'll do my best. But after that, we're going to say goodbye, right?"

Hearing this, Tongren was startled.

If she leaves, Quinella will forever wander around the world of shadows in this posture.

Although she has done countless unforgivable things, it is understandable to be punished like this, but when she really faced such an ending, Kirito still couldn't restrain a burst of sadness and regret in his heart.

"Don't show such an expression..." Quinella turned her head, and her long silver hair slid down her shoulders: "I am Administrator, I was born to rule everything, I once destroyed your most important treasure, don't you You should feel sorry for me."

After a moment of silence, Kirito nodded: "I understand, if it were you, this world of shadows would not be your cage at all, maybe one day sooner or later... you will appear again as my most difficult enemy in front of me."

"So... let me hear what is the problem that the "protagonist"-san has to ask me for? "

Kirito looked straight into Quinella's eyes and said with all his strength, "Please teach me the secret art you are most proud of."

"..." Quinella's smile gradually froze, "Do you know what this means?"

"I know."

"Although the protagonist will not die in most cases, there are exceptions."

"I know."

After staring at Kirito for a long time, Quinella finally gave up under the clear and firm eyes: "...I understand."

Afterwards, Quinella read out the lengthy system command word by word, and Kirito also memorized it in his heart verbatim.While remembering, he couldn't help thinking that if Eugeo was there, he might be shocked by the speed at which he memorized this sacred language.

"Thank you." Kirito showed a sincere smile to Quinella for the first and last time: "Goodbye, Quinella."

"Goodbye." Quinella smiled and waved her hand. After a moment of pause, she finally spoke again: "Goodbye, Kirito."

(Please go for the full illustration: ☆☆☆)

The "power of mind" began to function, and the floating light spots in the world of shadows gradually became dim.After the world rotated for a while, the aroma of vegetation began to penetrate into the nostrils, and the bleak autumn wind brought a burst of coolness. When the long-lost five senses returned to the wave light, Kirito understood that he had finally returned to the world of light.

Back to the pen of the Creator God.

……

"My friend."

"My friend."

"My friend..."

Eugeo's consciousness gradually awakened in the "Blue Rose Sword" amidst the white dragon's call.

"...White Dragon? What happened?" Eugeo, whose consciousness had been sleeping in chaos for a long time, was not yet fully awake, so he could only ask subconsciously.

"I'm leaving." Bailong said.

"Leaving?" Eugeo sat up slowly, staring into its bright yellow eyes in confusion: "Why? Where are you going?"

"My friend, the days when I was in the sword with you filled my heart with joy, but this is not the place for you to stay after all." Bai Long raised his head and stared into the distance: "And I also want to go to break some karma."

Bailong stated these words calmly, but Eugeo vaguely noticed something unusual in his indifferent voice.

"Before we say goodbye, I will leave you one last gift." Bailong raised his front paw and lightly touched Eugeo's hair with his nails.

"So my friend, if you can return to the outside world, this time, cherish yourself."

8.

Under the setting of "Creator God", Kirito's awakening will be accompanied by the disappearance of Eugeo, but there are always exceptions: Kirito returned to the world of light despite everything, but Eugeo did not disappear. It seems...he was betting right.

The principle is actually very simple.

The "setting" spoken by the integrity knight is just a "soft setting" that has not been fully confirmed, and before the "soft setting" is completely confirmed, Kirito took the lead in the "Creator God" plan. Time wakes up, if Eugeo really disappears as the setting says, it will cause a serious serial accident, so... a "buffer period" will inevitably be left.

This behavior is indeed risky, but Kirito has no choice.When witnessing the gradual tightening of the sword net that was about to kill Eugeo in the world of shadows, Kirito had already fully understood one thing.

Waiting is useless.

To get out of the control of the "Creator God" and to change the "Creator God"'s thinking, there is no other way than to fully demonstrate one's will in the world of light.

That being the case—then you should take a good look at it.

I will give the answer to the difficult problem you set.

Then next...

Under PoH's shocked gaze, Kirito supported the wheelchair with his remaining left hand and stood up slowly.Then he used the "power of mind" to change into the black windbreaker of the "black swordsman" with ease, and repaired his right hand.This is the best pre-war preparation he can make under the current circumstances.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Vasago laughed wantonly, "I thought I'd wait until I got rid of all the artificial FluctLights, including the humans in the human world and the monsters in the land of darkness. You only wake up when you kill everyone...Why? Because of this blond brat?

He...is Kirito...?

Eugeo stared at Kirito's back, unable to utter a sound for a long time.When he finally regained his senses and wanted to call Kirito's name, he realized that he really couldn't make a sound.

He gradually lost control of his body, unable to do anything even by blinking.

Supporting his crumbling body, Kirito walked slowly to Eugeo's side, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "You did a good job, Eugeo."

"For such a dehumanized beast, only the sword is fit to speak."

"Talk to me with a sword?" Vasago's eyes revealed a sadistic light: "Is it just with your current useless body? Without your level and equipment, you are nothing but an arrogant brat!"

Kirito didn't look at him, nor responded to his provocation, but shook Eugeo's hand reassuringly, and then took the "Night Sky Sword" from him.

With his current physical condition, he must make a quick decision, otherwise, he might run out of life just by colliding with PoH's sword a few times.

But now he doesn't need to fight like before. He understands the truth of "IfWorld" and understands how weak and meaningless the seemingly powerful enemy in front of him is. Kirito believes that it only takes a moment for him to You can solve him.

As if they had received some order, Kirito and Vasago rushed towards each other holding swords together. Kirito's body was extremely weak, and Vasago was also seriously injured. At least at this moment, the two were evenly matched.

However, Kirito moved away the sword used to block at the moment when the swords were about to meet, and let the magic sword—"Friend Cut Baoding" penetrate into his belly.

"You... what are you doing?!!" Vasago roared in shock and anger, but Kirito just smiled and raised his sword at him.

I caught it, as long as I controlled his actions for a moment, it was enough, and then...

"Release Collection!"

Holding the sword of the night sky with both hands, Kirito activated the memory release technique without hesitation.

The "memory of the tree" flowed into PoH's body, and soon, more than half of the surface of his body had turned into black bark like charcoal.The legs also merged into one and took root on the ground.The arms turned into twisted branches, the hair turned into sharp leaves... the eyes and mouth became three small holes side by side.

"Sad prop, the only meaning of your existence is to hurt others. In order to prevent unnecessary tragedies from happening, let your story end here."

I don't know if this sentence can reach PoH's consciousness.What Kirito stood in front of was no longer a human being, but an awkwardly shaped cedar tree about two meters high.

……

Although it was not stained with blood, Kirito still gently shook the sword in his hand, as if to sweep away some dirt, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

Next...

Kirito pulled out the long knife stabbed in the abdomen, chanted a simple sacred art to seal the wound, then supported his body with the "Night Sky Sword", and walked back to Eugeo step by step unsteadily.

Perhaps it was during the long battle in the world of shadows that his fluctlight was even tired from the pain, and he still acted as if nothing had happened under such a serious injury that could have directly deprived him of his ability to move.

"Yo, Eugeo, long time no see." Kirito waved at Eugeo and smiled, then knelt down on one knee in front of him, put his left hand on his shoulder, and picked up the broken "green" with his right. The Sword of the Rose".

Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, he recited the system command Quinella taught him - "Secret of Synthesis".

This is the secret technique created by Quinella when she wanted to back up her fluctlight in order to obtain eternal life, and was used to capture the LightCube.

At this moment, Kirito reversed it on himself, just to write Eugeo's soul sleeping in the "Blue Rose" into his "LightCube"... To be precise, it is similar to Among LightCube's STL terminals.

This is the answer Kirito gave.

If Eugeo should have been the price of his growth, then this time... he would be the price of his survival.

[FluctLight writing progress 0%...]

"Tir... people...!"

"Eugeo, I know you will be very upset right now, but please calm down and listen to me carefully."

Calm down...how can you calm down? !

Even if he didn't check the "Window of Stacia", at such a close distance, Eugeo could feel that Kirito's few remaining lives were rapidly draining away.

In order to meet him, Eugeo had crossed the land of darkness and reached the end of the world, but what he wanted was definitely not this kind of meeting!

Eugeo desperately wanted to move, and wanted to heal Kirito's wound with the transfer of fate, but the rules of the world ruthlessly imprisoned him in place, and just calling out Kirito's name exhausted all his strength.

"Eugeo, I leave all my wishes and wills to you." Kirito smiled, and said gently and calmly, just like when he taught him swordsmanship countless times: "After meeting you, I have There is no need to rely on the title of hero to prove yourself. You are the most important friend in my life, and your existence is the meaning of my existence, so..."

[FluctLight writing progress 15%...]

"Stop despairing alone, dying alone, thinking that you shouldn't exist anymore!" Kirito grabbed his collar, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

He thought he could bear it, he thought he could say goodbye, but at this moment, his emotions were still out of his control.

"You thought about saving Alice, you thought about protecting me with your life, but why didn't you think about living a good life with us?!"

[FluctLight writing progress 37%...]

"You always put other people's affairs first, and you can't even express such a simple wish." Kirito looked directly at his emerald green pupils, as if wanting to drive his own heart into his soul General said loudly: "So listen carefully to me, the person I value the most is you! Eugeo, since you have made me understand what it means to have friends... don't let me go back to loneliness It's gone!"

[FluctLight writing progress 61%...]

Even if the pain can be ignored, the rules of Underworld cannot be violated after all. When Kirito's Destiny value drops to three digits, he has reached the near-death state for Underworld people.After bouts of dizziness hit, Kirito still persisted, straightening his spine in front of Eugeo.

Although he still has a lot to say, but the remaining time is running out, and now, he must convey the most important words.

"Eugeo, remember what I said." Kirito tried to adjust his breathing, and said clearly, "I will come back, one day, I will return to this world... So, don't be sad, And don't feel guilty... When I come back, Eugeo, please wait for me!"

Russ Headquarters.

"Yui, how are you doing?"

"No problem, Mom!" Yui replied reassuringly through the earphones: "The hijacking of the network went very smoothly. The other party seems to want to open the port for logging into UnderWorld to the world, but I have already released the port they released. Switched to normal VRMMO."

"What a lunatic." Kikuoka shook his head: "It seems that the reason why Master Vector doubled the acceleration rate of the Underworld is to use real players to fill up the troops. You know, the pain of the Underworld Feelings may even destroy people's nerves, these guys really have no awe."

Asuna stared at the big screen. The war had been going on for a day and a night, and the air near the Eastern Gate was even bloody.

"I won't let them get in my way." Asuna's eyes revealed the firmness as always: "That belongs to Kirito-kun, and the battle with his companions must not be taken by someone who is ignorant of the weight of life." trample."

"Mr. Kikuoka! Ms. Asuna!" Higa Takeru appeared in front of Asuna once again panting.

Asuna remembered that Higa should have gone to store the upper shaft of the STL No. [-] unit just now, that is to say... Kirito-kun!

She stood up quickly, without any explanation from Higa, and followed him all the way to the upper shaft.

"Mr. Higa, what happened?" Asuna calmed her breathing while quickly confirming Kirito's state. Kirito was still asleep on the STL machine, and the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Higa thought about his words, but after meeting Asuna's eyes, he immediately realized that it was pointless to hide from the girl in front of him.Therefore, he said truthfully, "Just now, Kirito-kun logged out from Underworld."

"That Eugeo-kun..."

"Eugeo-kun is safe and sound, and Kirito-kun has succeeded. He rewritten the fluctlights that had been deleted by LightCubeCluster into Underworld, and he has done something that we researchers can't even imagine." Higa's tone revealed Sincere admiration, and then, his excitement calmed down: "But we sent him to the Underworld in the first place to repair his fluctlights that were damaged by poisoning. Now... his fluctlights have not been repaired. , and suffered more serious damage, and now STL can no longer read his fluctlight, Kirito-kun... may never wake up again."

"What... what?"

Looking at the girl's slightly trembling body, Higa was also filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry too... But this is also Kirito-kun's own choice. But I believe that Kirito-kun will not easily abandon you who have always been friends. Waiting for his companions who have returned victoriously, as long as we wait with hope, maybe one day, a miracle will happen.”

Asuna took a deep breath, suppressed all the wavering and sadness in her heart, and opened her eyes: "Mr. Higa, please prepare an STL for me to log in."

"...Miss Asuna?"

"In reality, there is nothing I can do. I want to do my best...to help them." Asuna said seriously, "Maybe it's resisting a powerful enemy, maybe it's rebuilding their homeland, I will try my best I will do as much as I can... because, that is the world Kirito-kun guarded with his life."

10.

"..."

The battle with Administrator.

Join forces against the enemy in the Tower of Chalk.

The two years of studying and exercising together in the Sword Cultivation Academy.

A long journey to the center of the world.

The tree of demons felled together.

Fight with goblins.

Finally... On an ordinary and extraordinary afternoon, they met under Gigasista...

These memories gradually came back to Eugeo's mind bit by bit, when his fluctlights finally returned to full length, when he opened his eyes again in this world that Sols could illuminate.

The figure of Kirito, his only teacher and best friend, suddenly scattered into gleaming fragments in front of his eyes like a broken Sephilia bud.

In this gloomy night sky, like bright stars.

Eugeo stretched out his hand dully, trying to catch the fragments of the falling stars, but he only caught the empty air, and the heart that had just been filled with memories seemed to turn into nothingness again.The world finally accepted him again, because what carried his soul was the skeleton of his best friend.

Eugeo curled up, pressed his palm tightly to his heart, and the residual heat in his palm quickly dissipated.

Why... Kirito...

Why, we have to experience the third separation?

At this moment, Eugeo even hoped that the seal of his right eye was still there. If he could burst his right eye, it might be able to relieve this too intense pain.But...he is a human being, no matter what kind of cruel pain and despair he experiences, he cannot cowardly shelter his heart in the "Taboo Catalog".

Therefore, like Kirito, he had to stand in this world with his head held high after shouldering everything.

After a while, Eugeo picked up the "Night Sky Sword" and "Blue Rose Sword" and walked forward step by step.As he moved forward, a dazzling white dragon-shaped light wrapped around the broken blade of "Blue Rose", and after a few breaths, the blade made of solid ice was restored to its original state.

Immediately afterwards, a dot of light flashed on his body like a program error, eroding his attire bit by bit, and the armor of the integrity knight gradually changed into a black windbreaker similar to the "Black Swordsman" Similarly, a long coat in ice white leather.

"Leave it to me." Holding two swords tightly in his hands, Eugeo said softly, "I will inherit your will and protect this world."

……

At the bottom of Kirito's "LightCube", there is stored the only sword skill that he failed to teach Eugeo—two-sword style, starburst wind slash.

In the next few days, the figure carrying the will of the two shuttled across the battlefield, won countless battles, and firmly engraved his appearance in the memory of everyone on both sides.

The "Sword of the Night Sky" and "Sword of the Blue Rose" have become his totems. Wherever those two blades touch, all crimes will be eradicated and all disputes will be quelled.

The clear and clear starry sky finally dispelled the backlog of clouds.

Then, the war was over.

=====================

Since some people don't understand, please add an explanation

"Secret of Synthesis" is a technique used by the admin to back up her fluctlight in the original work, and she used this to create Cardinal.

The reason why Youyou can't survive is the author's arrangement from the plot point of view, and from the setting point of view, it's because he doesn't have a LightCube, and the program can't run his data.

Tongtong's operation directly interrupted the author's plot arrangement, and he donated his LC, giving Youyou the physical (×) condition to be resurrected.

But what really brings Youyou back to life is actually what Tongtong said, not only for Youyou, but also for the author.Those words aroused Youyou's desire to survive, and also gave the author a step down. Although it violated the author's ending, at least the logic can be self-consistent, and all kinds of conditions came together to finally successfully revive Youyou.
