Episode 1 "Reunion"
AM 07:24
After hearing Kirito's story, we came to a small island with large trees in the northern part of the 24th floor. And Kirito was looking at the player he was fighting right now, "Zetsuken".
"So that's 'Zetsuken'...it's a great ability to be undefeated so far."
"Isn't it? Lisbeth and Leafa also challenged..."
"...I see..."
I was convinced by the information from Egil-san next to me. Neither Liz nor Leafa are weak players...in fact, they are top-tier players in ALO...
"Zetsuken" was on a different scale.
"Zekken"...According to the story, it started appearing on January 1st, and appears every day at 3:00 pm on the small island where it is now, and it seems that it wishes to attend . are one-on-one, and the challenger can choose either a ground battle or an air battle.
And the winner will receive an OSS. At first, it seems that the players were disgusted by that attitude and tried it all together, but it seems that none of them were able to reduce their HP by 30%. Even though there are so many people who have failed, the challenge is never ending...
"Even so, it's an OSS with 11 consecutive hits..."
“Oh.
"Yes..."
I answered Klein's words while watching the duel.
Certainly, neither me nor Kirito were able to develop the 11-hit sword skill under normal conditions.
If I remember right now, ALO's official OSS with the most consecutive hits was Salamander General Eugene's two-handed sword 8-hit sword skill "Volcanic Blazer".
Thinking about that...
"Ah...!"
"Oi oi, you're lying...!?"
"Kirito... lost...?"
The duel has ended... Yes, Kirito lost. As a result, Egil and Klein were stunned. His Zetsuken's HP is below 50%, and he seems to have put up a good fight, but...
"Onii-san, you were amazing! You were the strongest person I've ever fought!"
"I see... Thank you."
Absolute sword and Kirito shook hands while having such a conversation. Kirito just returned.
"Umm...then, is there anyone who wants to try next?"
"···yes!"
“Yeah…?
So, I raised my hand to challenge the ``absolutely strongest sword'', commonly known as ``Zetsuken''.
It seems that there was no challenger other than me, and I was nominated by "Zetsuken"... her.
I put the greatsword back on my back and walked over to the square where she was waiting. Along the way, she passed Kirito, who was returning.
"Be careful, Fong..."
"...yes?"
"She is... a child of the VR world."
"···!···Do you get it"
After listening to Kirito's words, I took a deep breath and stood in front of her.
"Well... are the rules okay, Onii-san?"
"Oh"
"What about the wings...?"
"Is it okay without it?"
"Yeah! Then... Shall we begin?"
『Zetsuken』 operated the window, and the duel application screen was displayed.
Player name is... <Yuki>... Yuuki...?
That name reminded me of a fairy I met by chance in that world.
(No way...?)
With that in mind, I chose "Yes"...but...
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
"Zekken"... Yuuki was staring at me for some reason.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"...you know, onii-san... have we met somewhere before?"
"...No, maybe...I think it's the first time we've met..."
"... I see... That's right... I'm sorry, I asked something strange."
"···no"
For the time being, her doubts seem to have been resolved. Yuuki returned to his serious expression and readied her one-handed sword.
I pulled out the two-handed sword ``Kalau Shepung'' from my back, held it in one hand, and pulled back half of my body... I took my usual fighting style .
... 3, 2, 1, 0 ...
""!!!"
Yuuki and I jumped out all at once and slammed our swords into each other. Sparks fly, and each other puts their strength into their swords in an attempt to win.
"Haaah!"
Yuuki was blown away by making use of the huge body of the greatsword. Even though I pursued it further, it turned out to be ``Zetsuken''.
"Huh...!?"
"Huh!"
All the consecutive attacks were repelled, and there was no way Yuuki would overlook the slight opening. Even though I hurriedly returned the greatsword to my hand, Yuuki's counter got scratched and his HP decreased a little.
"Uh... you're strong."
"Huh..."
(Really strong...! Child of the VR world, huh...)
Remembering Kirito's words, I couldn't help but laugh.
Since when? Fighting against a strong opponent was fun, and I couldn't help but laugh because I thought I was just a swordsman.
(That's why I want to fight with her full power...!)
"...can I have a minute?"
"... Huh? What's wrong...?"
I raised my hand to Yuuki and asked him to wait. As it is, I operate the window with my left hand and select my favorite skill from SAO…《High-Speed Conversion》.
Of course you choose...
"... I'm sorry. From now on, I'm going to let you be serious...!"
"... uh... that's...!?"
"Aoien no Rekka Ver2"...Most of the weapons and armor used in SAO were rendered unusable due to data corruption. Therefore, it is this Ver2 that was newly remade.
Although the performance has fallen compared to the heyday, the details have hardly changed and the usability is good. Along with the armor change, equip the left hand with the one-handed sword "Cross Survive",
I set up my own two-sword style... but Yuuki was surprised for some reason.
"... suu, haaaa... you're going to die!!!"
With the greatsword in his right hand at the top and the one-handed sword in his left hand held horizontally in front of his body, his fighting spirit was fully open.
Yuuki changed his stance when my mood changed.
""Haa!!!""
Again, we hit each other with swords. Just like that, I repel Yuuki's sword with my large sword.
"...!"
Even though Yuuki was surprised by the sword fighting that was different from before, he immediately responded to the counterattack. He catches it with a one-handed sword. As it is, they hit each other with speed swords.
"...!"
Each other's prey collides with sparks, and the rush continues. Yuuki moved while neither of them had a decisive blow.
"Deyaaaaaaa!!"
"... oooooo!!!"
One-handed sword single-shot sword skill <Horizontal>... I parryed it with a two-handed sword until the attribute aftermath, and I also fired a one-handed sword single-shot sword skill <Vertical>, but it was parried by Yuuki.
In the elemental aftermath blast, we hit each other with our swords and jumped straight out of the smoke.
""Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
My two-handed sword hits Yuuki's arm, and my one-handed sword hits his cheek, scraping his HP. However, Yuuki also gouges my shoulder with an accurate counterattack. A high-speed rush continued while scraping each other's HP little by little.
(... battle...!)
"...!?!?"
After several brim-fights, I threw a knee kick into Yuuki's body. When I loosened my strength, Yuuki, who had lost his balance, stopped moving for a moment without being able to react.
(received···!?)
Just like that, he unleashed the 4-strike single-handed sword skill <Vertical Square> on Yuuki... but,
(Huh...!? No, right!?)
However, Yuuki completely blocked those four consecutive attacks... I couldn't help but be surprised at the unexpected reaction speed. Yuuki readied a one-handed sword covered in a purple aura and thrust in at me who was attacked rigidly.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Five diagonal strikes pierced through my body .
(Still...!!)
The stiffness was released, and I activated a sword skill with a two-handed sword to counterattack.
Two-handed sword 5-hit OSS <Adbus Ballista>. Three high-speed strikes followed by two diagonal crosses, which offset Yuuki's sword skills... but Yuuki still had the last blow left.
(This is...the rumored 11 consecutive hits!?...but!!!)
"Eh...!?"
I, who shouldn't be able to move anymore, have no stiffness... Ignore the stiffness and alternately fire sword skills with both hands. It was Yuuki's turn to be surprised at the fact that he had fired Vorpal Strike.
"...!?"
The blows collide with each other, causing a large explosion.
As it is, they are blown away by the knockback, but... I activate the two-handed sword skill with the second Skill Connect and forcefully move my body forward.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
"...!?!?!?"
… Illusionary sword 《Two-handed sword》 Super heavy single-shot highest-ranking sword skill <End of Fortune> … The tip of the sword, which was divided into three parts by the aura, swallowed Yuuki. Just like that, Yuuki was blown backwards.
(This is the last...!!!)
In order to reduce Yuuki's remaining HP, I jumped in at once after my stiffness was gone and was about to cut Yuuki with a two-handed sword from above.
(...!?)
The fallen Yuuki looked like the fairy Yuuki from that time.
(Just now... what...?)
I was so surprised that I inadvertently stopped my sword, and all I could do was stare at Yuuki.
"... as expected, you're strong... von"
"··eh···?"
At the edge of the plaza, a surprised voice unintentionally came out at Yuuki's words while still on his buttocks.
"Ehehe... that equipment, and the sword skill from earlier... it's the same as when you defeated that scary tree boss monster, right?"
"W-why did you do that...!?"
"...That's right. I'm... the fairy I met in that cave and fought alongside..."Yuuki."
・・・
・・・・
・・・・・・・・
eh? Wait a second...?
Zetsuken is a fairy I met in SAO's hidden dungeon.
This girl Yuuki...?
"... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?!?!?!"
"Wow, don't be so surprised...!"
"II'm sorry... but is it really Yuuki I met in that dungeon!?"
"That's right! Already...! When I saw Fong's equipment, I remembered..."
"...Is that so...you..."
My head finally caught up with the shocking truth. I see, that's why you were surprised when you saw my face and character name earlier, and when you saw "Blue Flame Recca"...
"Still...even so, to think that you would break my OSS head-on...it was the same at that time, but in a way, Fong is really out of the ordinary..."
"I dodge sword skills easily, I don't want you to tell me."
“Eh~… Fufufu…!”
"... Kusu..."
““Ahahahahahahaha!!!””
At those words, we both laughed unintentionally .
"Well, we were still in the middle of the Duel, weren't we? No matter how you look at this situation, I'm going to lose..."
"... not really."
"···eh?"
"...because I'm going to do this"
To Yuuki who was surprised, I operated the window...
"I Reign"
declared surrender.
""""""""""eh?
” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” _ _ _ _
At my action, the players around me raised their voices.
The volume was so loud that I covered my ears.
“Why…!?
"Hmm... that's about it... I thought it was cowardly just now."
"Cowardly...?"
Yuuki muttered back my words with a strange expression.
"Oh... I changed my fighting style halfway through, didn't I?
I used a skill that Yuuki didn't know about, and I can't accept Yuuki's OSS with this kind of winning method, right ?
"But..."
“Besides, you remembered me, and Yuuki also lost his pace halfway through, didn't he?
Including that kind of thing, it's no good to start over ?
"Uh~~~ I understand. If Hwon says so much... But it's a promise!"
"Oh"
"... Well then, I have to explain it to everyone."
I promised a rematch with Yuuki, who was somewhat convinced by my words, and started explaining to the players who were there. The match between me and Yuuki will be rematched at a later date, and the challenge will continue, and the people around me are convinced.
For the time being, I was about to leave the place to return to Kirito and the others.
Gashi!
"...Yu, Yuuki...?"
Yuuki grabbed my arm, and I suddenly stopped.
"I decided...! Hwon, come with me!"
“Hey, hey… suddenly!?
Spreading his wings, Yuuki tried to fly away, pulling my arm, and I hurriedly spread my wings too.
"Oh, hey! Phone!!!"
Kirito and the others were saying something, but I didn't have the time to do so, so I was half taken away by Yuuki... No, I could only fly away.
Next time: SAO ~Phantom War Demon~
"Hey, Fon. Can you lend us your strength?"
“Before we disbanded, we decided to create something to commemorate…!”
"...I know the reason"
"I want you to fight with us! We... with the Sleeping Knights!"
"Sleeping Knights"
... Awaken, that soul!
[Sword Skill Commentary]
Two-handed sword 5-strike OSS <Adbus Ballista>
After high-speed 3-strikes, perform a diagonal double-strike in the order of right and left.
An OSS developed by Phong for the first attack of Skill Connect.
Illusionary sword 《Two-handed sword》 Super heavy single-shot highest-ranking sword skill <End of Fortune>
4-attribute mixed sword skill of fire, water, wind, and earth that stretches with aura and mows down the opponent with a two-handed sword with a tip that splits into three.
One of the sword skills that Fon uses a lot as a decisive factor.
It was a masterless time.
By the way, without the Illusion Sword, Ori will definitely lose.
Skill Connect is a special training with Kirito , so the owner can also use it .
Also, although the effect of the illusion sword skill and the movement of the sword skill have not changed, the power of the sword skill has been weakened.
In addition, Phong's unique two-handed sword / one-handed sword dual-sword style is equipped with two weapons that were not originally intended, increasing the consumption of physical strength by equipping two-handed swords with one hand, weight shifting due to imbalance , etc. While you can make the most of your abilities, you can only fight for a maximum of 10 minutes due to the heavy burden, so just like the fantasy sword, you can only use it when the time is right.
I try not to use it.
In addition, from this work, we will reflect the explanation of the fantasy sword sword skill (OSS) that appeared in the main setting. Please refer to that as well.
