Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"Ronye!" After Eugeo and Kirito called their names at the same time, the girls who were suffering from pain smiled vigorously.

But at this time Integrity Knight Alice also left Flying Dragon and looked at Tijie and the others.

Thinking of the strong blow that left his right cheek numb until now, Eugeo immediately shouted, "No way, Tijie, don't come here!"

But the two elementary trainees did not stop.The blood on the palms of the two people kept dripping on the stone floor of the square. After walking the last ten meters, they knelt down in front of Alice.

The two gasped for a while, then Tijie resolutely raised her head and said, "Qi, Sir Knight... I have something to ask you!"

Ronye then continued with a trembling voice: "Please allow us to return the senior's sword to them...!"

Alice silently looked down at the girl kneeling on the ground, and nodded slightly.

"Okay. But sinners can't hold swords. Leave it to me first. You can talk to them for a minute."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed the Blue Rose Sword with her right hand, and then grabbed the Black Sword with her left hand, and then easily picked up the sword from Ronye and Tiezhe.

She returned to Feilong as if she couldn't feel the weight at all, and put the two swords into the suitcase that originally contained the binding props.

Tije and Ronnie clasped their scarred hands tightly on their chests, and smiled reassuringly as if they didn't feel any pain.

They stood up unsteadily, and ran to their mentors respectively.

"Senior Eugeo..." Tije, who stopped in front of Eugeo, stared at him with red eyes that were swollen from crying.

Eugeo looked at her with a shaken expression.

"Senior Eugeo... I'm sorry... It's all my fault..." She clasped her hands in front of her.

Desperately squeezing out a small voice, he continued: "...I'm really sorry...for hurting you because of my...stupid behavior..."

"No...don't say that." Eugeo shook his head in shock.

"It's not Tijie's fault... You made the right choice for your friend. The reason why it became like this... It's all my fault. Tijie, you don't need to apologize to me at all."

Hearing these words, Tijie immediately looked back at Eugeo as if she wanted to see into the depths of Eugeo's soul, and then forced a smile on her lips: "Next..." Although trembling, the young The attendant trainee still said in a quite firm tone:

"Next, I will rescue Senpai Eugeo. I will try my best to become an integrity knight...and then go to rescue Senpai...so, please wait for a while. I will... definitely..." Sobbing, she took over He swallowed what he was about to say.

At this moment, Eugeo could only keep nodding at her.

On the other side of the flying dragon, Ronye, ​​who also ended the short conversation, asked Kirito to hold the package in his hand with his tied hands, and then cried and said:

"That... this is a bento. When you are hungry, please use it to satisfy your hunger..."

Kirito's answer was overshadowed by the sound of the flying dragon stretching its wings vigorously.

"It's time. Leave quickly." The knight Alice had stepped onto the dragon's saddle without knowing when.

She flicked the reins, allowing the dragon to prop up the giant body.The chain being dragged also made Eugeo's body slightly vacated.

Tiezhe and Ronye, ​​who were in tears, took a few steps back.The silver wings flapped vigorously a few times, and the strong wind that rolled up shook the girl's hair.

Even though the flying dragon had already started to run with a loud bang, the two chased after them desperately, and finally one of them staggered and fell, putting his hands on the stone floor.

Immediately afterwards, the flying dragon's strong feet kicked the ground even harder, and its huge body floated lightly into the air.

As the flying dragon circled and flew towards the sky, Tijie and Ronnie under the eyes also became smaller and smaller.

In the end, their figures merged into the gray of the floor, and the panorama of Northern Centoria Imperial Sword Training Academy continued to fade away——

……

……

In the ocean, the center of the huge hull is penetrated by a hollow cylinder with a diameter of [-] meters and a height of [-] meters.

The titanium alloy column called the main shaft not only supports the various floors of the mother ship, but also serves as a pressure-resistant bulkhead to cover and protect the heart.

In addition to the control and power system of the hull itself, the cylinder also accommodates various machine groups developed by the mysterious research organization [RATH].

Specifically, four terrifying full-stealth machines capable of reading and writing human souls [Soul T

a

slato

].

And the central computing device they are connected to.

The huge setup is almost in the center of the main shaft, and the lower shaft on the lower side has STL No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] machines.And on the upper shaft above are No. [-] and No. [-] machines. STL Prototype No. [-] and No. [-] are not on this ship, but far away in the research branch in Roppongi, Minato.

In order to treat Lin Mu and Kirito who have fallen into a long-term lethargic state—the two are connected to the STL No. [-] and No. [-] units on the upper part of the main shaft.

Therefore, to get there, you must first enter the main shaft from the lower part, and then use stairs or elevators to move to the upper floor.

Monday, July [-], [-], at [-]:[-] am.

Asuna——while pulling the collar of the summer sweater on the T-shirt, she climbed up the dark spiral staircase.

Under the orange LED emergency lighting, she couldn't help thinking of the sound of hard footsteps every time she stepped on the rust-proof painted metal steps.

In the city of steel that is extremely far away from here, floating in infinite space, I have climbed similar stairs several times.

That is the spiral staircase that connects the demon king's room on each floor of the guardian floating city of Aincrad to the next floor——

In most cases, Heathcliff, the head of the [Knights of the Blood Alliance], walked in front, followed by the guild members who won the battle of the devil and made a fuss, but there were exceptions.

That is, there are only two people on the stairs, one black and one white, walking up the stairs alone to welcome the journey to the next floor.

Everyone else can only hold a candle to it.

Because they are the strongest, because the two of them can compete with large guilds and kill the terrifying defensive BOOS alone.

No matter how unbelievable something seems to others, if they do it, people will have a feeling of "So it's them, so it's no wonder...".

They started from the first floor, from the beginning of entering the game, when others were still confused, they plunged into the center of the vortex.

From start to finish, there was never a back down.

And now, it was like this again, the two of them plunged into the whirlpool again.

Started a new adventure.

In the past, Asuna could still watch and silently watch, but now, she really can't even watch from the sidelines.

She recalled the temperature of Lin Mu holding her palm in her heart, and a bitter expression appeared on her face.
