【Youtongyou】IF WORLD

Shadow Chapter

2.

It's a bit ironic to say that I can grasp the status quo immediately, but it is thanks to the Administrator.

After using the method she taught to see the electronic world, I suddenly discovered that I seem to be able to see the soul of a person. In the electronic world, people's bodies are shining with the same light as electronic ghosts. Maybe that is the so-called The real body of fluctlight, and the physical body is just the conveniently observed data endowed by the electronic world.

I could see Alice's fluctlight shining in her body, but the light on Eugeo, and the "me" he pushed, was so thin that it could be ignored.

The Eugeo in front of him is probably just a body with condensed data, but his soul has disappeared at this moment.

"Hey, Eugeo." I patted him on the shoulder, as a matter of course, there was no response.

"It's not like you, Eugeo-kun, why did you give up like this?" I continued to say meaningless words: "A cowardly suicide like me came to you, and you... Where did you go again?"

"Don't just push that empty shell, look at me anyway, okay? I'm talking to you, your friend and swordsmanship teacher, I'm afraid the only wish in life is to hear you talk to him again, and call him by name , can’t even satisfy such a wish?”

Finally... I stopped.

Actually, I understand better than anyone else that he is no longer Eugeo.

As Eugeo said before his death, "He can't recognize the Integrity Knight Alice who has lost his memory", and now he is not "my Eugeo", this is not a problem of memory loss, Instead, he has completely turned into an existence similar to an initial account with the same data.

But so what?I can't be persuaded by this reason for being depressed, it's just a poor excuse he found to cheer me up.

Whether it is the young Alice Schumberk or the integrity knight Alice, what kind of identity she will live in the future is something that only she can decide. This is what she must achieve, reconciliation with "self" , How can it be decided by a duel between us two boys who are as stupid as us?

"Desperate alone, and die alone, saying "this is good", do you think I will accept it?Eugeo...Answer me! "

At this moment, Eugeo stopped suddenly.

He looked around thoughtfully, his expression was so vivid that he was not a delicate puppet.

"From just now, there has been a trace of breath, as if it has been spying on us."

"Maybe it's just my illusion. It's a very faint breath, like a bird or a small animal."

……

At that moment, I seemed to hear the voice of Administrator sneering, she was laughing at those of us who have been doing our best for things that are of no benefit.It was because we valued each other more than life that she was always able to catch us easily.

But it doesn't matter if it's stupid or ridiculous, it's enough, it's... enough.

"Okay, let's stop here for emotional matters." I fell to the ground and walked up to Eugeo step by step: "Thank you...it's too boring to say such things, Eugeo, I will definitely save you, It's like...you've been saving me all this time."

In the dark cave, Eugeo walked forward step by step through my illusory shadow.

Chapter of Light

5.

"Is this... is it the "Legion of Darkness" north of the End Mountain Range? Alice's voice trembled a little.

Eugeo nodded: "It should be right, their appearance matches the description in the legend."

Even the strongest integrity knight in Central Capital has never seen such a scene called hell.

Alice took a deep breath, drew out the Osmanthus sword and slowly moved towards the other side of the world, but Eugeo was still unable to move.His Blue Rose Sword had already been broken, but the other one——naturally, his eyes turned to the other sword in Kirito's arms.

"Sword of the Night Sky".

Forged from the branches of Gigasista, another artifact not inferior to the Blue Rose Sword is also Kirito's saber.

No matter how sure Alice was, Eugeo couldn't take himself as "Kirito's friend Eugeo" after all, but this hesitation didn't last long, he still raised his hand and drew out the sword of the night sky, as always to any hindrance.

"If you are the hero who saved the Underworld, you definitely don't want to see the army of darkness invade the village, so please let me borrow your sword... Kirito."

He finally complied with Alice's wish and called the name for the first time.He also imagined that Kirito would respond to this call, but unfortunately the boy in the wheelchair remained motionless, only breathing weakly to prove that he was still alive.

"Because I'm not the real Eugeo?" Eugeo whispered, "For you, your wish to save Eugeo has not been fulfilled, so you don't want to come back here?"

Eugeo lowered his head and saw Kirito's face covered by bangs reflected on the sword of the night sky. It was completely different from the rebel whose eyes always revealed a firm will in his memory.

He clenched the sword of the night sky, turned around, and followed Alice to the front of the enemy.

"Eugeo, listen up." Alice frowned, "Absolutely, absolutely, they must not be allowed to cross the Mountain of the End!"

"Yes!"

Under the leaden gray clouds, the densely packed alien army seemed to freeze the air a bit, but behind them was Kirito, who had no fighting ability, and everyone in Rulid Village, even if it was just the two of them, they must keep These monsters are blocked here.

The appearance of Alice and Eugeo caused a commotion in the "Army of Darkness", but immediately after that, there was a burst of harsh laughter, as if rubbing hard on rusty scrap iron.

"Isn't this Bainum's brat!"

"And there are two more!"

"Looking at that outfit, could it be that... that "Integrity Knight" or something? "

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"But there are tens of thousands of us, and there are only two little ghosts in Num! What are we afraid of!"

"That's right! Quack quack quack ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

The laughter seemed to be contagious, more and more monsters joined in the wild laughter, the laughter of tens of thousands of monsters shook the ground, Alice and Eugeo, who were the first to bear the brunt, involuntarily raised their swords to fight against the huge The momentum is against.

Amidst the earth-shattering laughter, Eugeo suddenly heard a clear and ethereal voice flowing from Alice's lips.

"...Enhance Armament!"

The chanting of Armed Full Domination Art was completed, and the sword of golden osmanthus turned into golden petals sweeping across the world, like a huge wave, which scattered the laughter of the people of darkness, and at the same time directly cut the goblins in the front row into pieces. blood mist.

The laughter stopped abruptly, followed by angry curses full of hatred.

"Kill them——!!!"

"Don't keep the women of Bainium either!! Tear them to pieces---!!!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo""

Goblins were originally very timid creatures, as long as the leader among them was killed, all the goblins would flee.But now there may be too many people, and there are fighters from other races to help out. Alice's killing not only failed to scare them away, but even further angered them.

"Eugeo, please protect Kirito first!" As soon as Alice finished speaking, she suddenly realized that what Eugeo was holding was not the "Blue Rose Sword", but the "Night Sky Sword". The ability to freeze around.

"No." Eugeo shook his head: "I can't use Armament Full Control right now, so I'll leave it to you to protect that person. You seal all their paths with flower petals, before your physical strength is exhausted... I'll kill them all, Alice."

Hearing his words, Alice, who had been frowning since stepping into the Dark Domain, finally broke into a smile. She nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Be safe, Eugeo!"

"Okay...I promise you, we will definitely go back together, the three of us together."

"Yeah! The three of us together!"

After saying that, Eugeo rushed towards the enemy army with his sword under the cover of the golden sweet-scented osmanthus petals.

Although he has lost his memory, the swordsmanship of the "Aincrad style" seems to be engraved in the muscle memory. Wherever it passed, monsters fell in pieces.If Eugeo was wearing cloth clothes, he would have been completely stained red by blood at this moment, but he was still wearing that ice-white armor, the blood could not stay on the armor, and soon after Eugeo used his sword skills again throw away.Eugeo seemed to be gliding through the crowd like a ray of morning light, his icy white figure could never be overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of people.

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Damn you!"

The light of the sword skill flashed across, and the eyes of the goblin, who was only half-length, still shone with hatred.

After an unknown amount of time, Eugeo felt that the hand holding the sword became heavier, and the sticky blood blocked his vision, and his eyes turned black in bursts.

He didn't know if he was cut, all his energy was burning in sword skills, and he had no time to care about the pain, but human physical strength is limited after all, even golden sweet-scented osmanthus can't help him perfectly block all the attacks , During a brawl, the half-orc's hammer hit his knee hard.

"Eugeo——!!"

The sound of flesh and blood being cut, the sound of blood splattering, and the humming caused by dizziness filled his eardrums. Alice's voice seemed to come from far away. He could hear it, but he was powerless to answer it. Standing with all their strength, they just mechanically waved the "Sword of the Night Sky" again and again. How many people are there?How long will it last?

No one could answer him, but the harsh roar of the monster was still loud.

Alice had already pushed Kirito back to the White Dragon's grave and joined the battle group.Although it is important to protect Kirito, Eugeo was saved by Kirito with his life. If Eugeo dies, even if Kirito's heart can come back, she will not be able to explain to Kirito.

But in fact, Alice's physical strength is also weak, and it is not easier to support the armed full control technique than to fight bloody battles. She is a genius of the sacred technique, but she does not understand the technique of killing. Not long after, she and Yuji behind her Ou has been surrounded by enemies.

The monster Huang Chengcheng's eyes were shining with cruel light, staring at them like watching prey in a net.

"Eugeo, are you alright?" Alice asked panting.

"I'm fine." Eugeo replied.

"I'm going to rush, I'll open the gap in the south, you rush out, take Kirito to find Amayori, and then ride on it to find Eldrie." Alice quickly explained: "Only integrity knights Only then can the current situation be resolved, and before that, don’t forget to let the villagers of Rulid Village escape.”

"Are you telling your last words?" Eugeo frowned.

"No, this is the only way!"

"Please talk about this kind of thing yourself!" Eugeo said loudly, "Whether it's your dragon or your disciple, I'm a stranger to them. Only by finding it can we solve the current predicament.”

"But... I don't want to see it again!" Alice's voice was choked with sobs: "I don't want to see any of you get hurt and die in front of me again! This kind of thing... I've had enough !"

Even if he couldn't see back to back, Eugeo could still imagine Alice's red eyes. If the black-haired boy was still there, he would probably say with a mocking face, "Eugeo, you made the girl cry." ", and then you will draw your sword to wipe out all the dangers in front of you, right?Even though he had no memory, Eugeo could be so sure.

"Alice, please leave first, please!" Eugeo's voice was rarely emotional, "I am a dead person, just an empty shell without past and future, only you... It should carry Eugeo and Kirito's wishes and live on."

Eugeo closed his eyes and raised the Night Sky Sword.Unlike the Blue Rose Sword that was connected to him like blood, the Night Sky Sword was just a very sharp weapon in his hands, and he could not get the slightest response from the Night Sky Sword.

Maybe the Sword of the Night Sky didn't recognize him, maybe the Sword of the Night Sky had fallen into a deep sleep like its owner, but now, Eugeo was praying to it with all his strength.

Eugeo had spent years carving scars on its body, and it was Eugeo himself who ended its destiny and turned it into a weapon.

"Gigasista" who has been quietly witnessing all this, if you are Kirito's partner and you are willing to fight for him, please answer my call.

Suddenly, a warm force poured into Eugeo's arms. The breath was very familiar. He wanted to catch the clue, but he seemed to be in a maze full of thick fog. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't find the exit. .He clenched the hilt of the Sword of the Night Sky with both hands, and the familiar words came out clearly from his mouth:

"...Enhance Armament!"

In an instant, a towering tree rose from the ground. There was no Thors in the Dark Domain, and it could not block any light. Then, like a pitch-black curtain, a starry sky continued to expand and extend from the top of the tree, and soon Then it covered the sky of the Dark Realm, and the scarlet aura was swept away, and the air seemed to become a bit fresher along with the starry sky.

Although the light of the stars is faint, this splendid galaxy condensed by sacred arts is still a light that cannot be seen directly by the people of darkness.

The monster closest to the giant tree was sucked dry of the "Mandate of Heaven" and died, while the monsters farther away immediately scattered and fled. In just a few minutes, the dark domain returned to its previous calm, leaving only a broken corpse.

"...Go back." Eugeo turned around and said to Alice.

Still immersed in astonishment and unable to recover, Alice nodded subconsciously.Immediately afterwards, Eugeo collapsed in front of her, and the magnificent scene was shattered.

TBC.
