Kirito.
Kirito-senpai.
Welcome back, Kirito.
So you're finally awake, huh?
Seriously, you're the best, Kirito.
All right, let's pick up where we left off.
What got put on hold back in Aincrad.
The continuation of "showtime!"
Awakening
Come on. Don't let me down, all right?
I've been waiting almost two years for this day.
Just throw away that crappy sword and use your left hand.
Those guys you froze killed a ton of your comrades.
I know how you do things.
Turning people on each other, sowing the seeds of hatred,
and inciting the next battle.
You really messed with us in SAO,
but you won't get away with that in this world!
No way!
Yeah? Then what will you do?
Once the ice melts, those guys are going to massacre all of your precious friends.
The only way you can stop that is to kill those guys first.
Go on, give the order.
To slaughter them all!
Well, if you want to be stubborn and die, that's fine.
Don't worry. After I kill you, I'll put Lightning Flash and the others,
every last one of them, into the ground!
Kirito!
Please. Kirito-senpai....
How are you...?
Let's do this, Kirito!
Eugeo.
- Release Recollection! - Release Recollection!
What was that?
Are those the players' life resources?
Kirito is logging them out so they won't suffer, right?
You bastard, you've got to be kidding me!
No! Not again!
It's all right.
Look.
What? Why aren't the resources coming to me?
You said so, didn't you, Asuna?
That "life is for transporting and imparting souls."
And all the people from these different countries who came to this world
don't really want to kill each other.
Everyone wants the same thing. An exciting and thrilling world.
Like the land of fairies where you and I met.
They want to go to a beautiful, fun, and joyous world.
That's all there is to it.
Yes.
You're right, Yuuki.
Release Recollection.
Damn it!
Eugeo-senpai once told me.
Kirito-senpai's black sword used to be a huge black cedar tree
in the far north of the Human Empire.
I see. That's why that sword can absorb sacred resources.
Kirito.
You really are the best, Kirito.
You're the only one who's made me want to kill of my own free will this much.
It's a shame to end this now, but no venue could ever top this one.
Now, let's have some fun, Black Swordsman!
Yeah. Let's end this.
Burst Element!
Impressive. That's more like it.
But it's not over yet.
Even if I log out of this world, I'll never stop coming after you guys.
Until I've slit your and Lightning Flash's throats and ripped out your hearts,
I'll just keep coming!
No. It's over now.
You'll never log out of the Underworld.
This sword was originally the Demon Tree in Rulid Village.
A giant tree the villagers couldn't chop down
even after swinging their axes for two hundred years.
I just sent the memory of this sword into your body.
I don't know how many years or decades it will take before you're let out of the STL,
but you'd better pray it's not too long.
Someday, when pioneers build a village around here,
maybe some kids will chop you down with an ax.
System Call.
Transfer Durability, Right to Area.
Kirito.
Kirito, bro.
You're always stealing the spotlight, way too much!
Senpai!
Seriously, he's something else.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
Yes! I'm so glad he's okay!
I knew from the moment I first met him.
That he and those two swords would save us all.
Yes.
Everyone, thank you.
I definitely won't let your feelings, or all the blood and tears you shed, go to waste.
Truly, thank you.
Kirito, Emperor Vecta and Alice are...
Right. It's hazy, but I remember the situation.
Let's go rescue her. I'll need your help, Asuna.
Excuse me.
What? Wait. Kirito?
Okay, we're off.
Damn! What's that moron Vassago doing?
The JSDF commando unit will storm in in eight hours and twenty minutes.
Per Captain Miller's orders, once eight hours are left,
I'm supposed to resume time acceleration inside the Underworld.
It can't be helped. Vassago, hang on a little longer.
I need a key.
Let me handle this.
Hey, Higa! Hey, I'm talking to you!
Open your eyes! Come on!
H-How's Kirito?
Kirigaya's Fluctlight activity has been completely restored.
It's almost too active now, to be honest.
I-Is that right?
Really, now. After I told you not to overdo it.
Although I'm to blame for not realizing we had a mole among the tech staff.
What's going on with the Underworld and with Alice?
The players connected from America, China, and South Korea have logged out.
They came from China and South Korea, too?
Not as reinforcements, but as enemies?
Apparently someone played on their mutual animosity as online gamers
to lure them into the Underworld.
Is that right?
The 2,000 players from Japan who came as reinforcements were mostly wiped out.
At that point, there were still more than 20,000 Chinese and South Korean players left,
but luckily, that was when Kirito woke up, and in a flash he...
Wh-What?
N-No way.
Fluctlight Acceleration rate safety limiter disengaged.
Fifteen minutes until maximum-acceleration phase.
For any personnel in the Soul Translators, please initiate disengagement protocol immediately.
What does maximum acceleration mean?
Isn't the FLA rate limit 1,200?
1,200 is the safety limit factoring in the lifespan of a real-world human's soul.
5,000 is the limit at which we can observe the Underworld.
Neither are the hardware limit imposed by physical constraints.
Th-Then what is the hardware-based limit?
During the maximum-acceleration phase, the FLA rate will be just over 5 million.
The two STLs in Roppongi connected by satellite will disconnect automatically
once they can't keep up with the speed,
but in the case of Kirito and Asuna, here on the Ocean Turtle...
Are you serious? Then hurry!
- Hurry, we have to get them out of those STLs! - But the initial acceleration phase has already begun!
If we pull them out of the machines now, it will damage their Fluctlights!
Then start the disengagement protocol right now!
Mr. Kiku, I'm going down there again.
All right. I'll go with you this time.
I should have enough stamina to carry you down that ladder on my back.
It's too risky, Lieutenant Colonel! Allow me to undertake that mission...
No, I need you all to defend the stairs.
Since we'll be opening the bulkhead again.
And you'll be engaging the enemy directly, so the danger will be greater for you.
Even so, I must ask you to go.
Understood!
Mr. Kiku!
When I was operating the STL earlier, I secured a communication channel with Kirito!
You can reach him on line C-12!
Why do I need to?
Have him escape from inside!
Is Alice... safe?
She hasn't been captured yet.
But there's a massive presence chasing her.
I see.
Then we'll protect her.
Kirito!
Kirigaya! Can you hear me? Kirito!
Mr. Kikuoka?
There's no system console, so how...
I don't have time to explain.
The situation is dire. The time acceleration rate...
They've disengaged the FLA limiter!
Limiter?
According to Higa's calculations, no matter how fast we disconnect the STLs,
two hundred years will have passed in there.
Two hundred?
Listen, Kirito. You have ten minutes.
You have to reach the console by then, and log out manually.
You can't log out by depleting your HP.
If you die after the maximum-acceleration phase starts,
you'll spend two hundred years there in a state of total sensory deprivation!
Got it. I'll find a way to get out through the console.
Of course, I'll bring Alice with me, so be ready for that.
Thanks.
But I want you two to prioritize your escape over securing Alice now.
Listen. Even if we can delete your memories after you log out,
two hundred years is far longer than the life span of the human soul.
The odds of you regaining normal consciousness... are almost zero!
Don't worry. We'll definitely get back.
And Mr. Kikuoka,
six months ago... no, last night, sorry for the harsh things I said to you.
No, we certainly deserved to be criticized.
It looks like Higa's ready. I have to go now.
Okay.
I'll see you in ten minutes, Mr. Kikuoka.
Kirito, did Mr. Kikuoka contact you?
Is something wrong?
No. Time acceleration's resuming in ten minutes, so he wants us to hurry up.
Right, we can't stay like this, or it wouldn't be fair to Alice.
Come on, let's go rescue her!
Yeah. I'm going to fly again.
Amayori and Takiguri.
This is farewell.
This is my final order.
Fly back to the Human Empire and return to the dragon nests in the Western Empire.
Amayori, find a husband, and Takiguri, find a wife.
Have many babies and raise them to be strong.
Strong, strong children who will someday be able to carry knights as they fly.
Now, go!
Ama... yori?
No! Don't!
Amayori!
Kirito.
Next time: The Night-Sky Blade.
