Kirito-kun.
If you want her, use your swords—your dual-wielding—to take her from us.
If you win, you may leave with Asuna-kun.
But if you lose...
...you will join the Knights of Blood.
Very well.
If you'd like to settle this through our swords, I have no objections.
Let's duel.

Geez, you’re so stupid!
Why did you agree to this?
Sorry! I’m sorry!
He provoked me and I ended up taking the bait.
When I saw your Dual Wield the other day, I thought your power was on an entirely different level.
But the same goes for the commander’s unique skill.
Yeah, I’ve seen it for myself many times.
The Holy Sword skill, capable of both offense and defense.
His attacks are strong, but his defense is particularly overwhelming.
No one has ever seen the commander’s HP bar go into the yellow zone.
His invincibility transcends the game's balance.
I know.
What’ll you do?
Never mind my leave, you’ll have to join the Knights of Blood if you lose!
Well, I won't let him beat me that easily.
Crimson Bloodlust
Forgive me, Kirito-kun.
I didn’t think it’d turn out like this.
I'll be taking my share of the proceeds.
No.
You’ll be a member of our guild after this fight.
This is just another mission for me.
Accept the duel?

His shield?!
Your reaction time is impressive.
And you’re practically impossible to break.
Amazing! Let's go!
Better!
I can do even better!
Kirito-kun...
This is my chance!
What?!
October 22nd, 2024 50th Floor • Algade
I-I thought I asked for something plain...
That one's already on the plain side.
Yup! It looks good!
A guild, huh?
Looks like I got you all mixed up in this.
No, it's a good opportunity.
I was starting to feel the limits of going solo anyway.
I'm glad to hear that.
Hey, Kirito-kun.
Tell me.
Why do you avoid guilds and people in general?
It can’t just be because you’re a beta tester or possess a unique skill.
You’re a kind person, Kirito-kun.
It was a long time ago.
Over a year ago, I think.
I was in a guild once.
It was a small guild of six, including me.
We were called the Black Cats of the Night.
To be honest, the other members’ levels were way below mine.
So when they invited me to join, if I had told them my real level, I think they would've changed their mind.
But I kept it from them and joined their guild.
Back then, the way they felt at home with each other really appealed to me.
But one day...
I'm the one who got them all killed.
If I didn’t hide the fact that I was a beater, I could've convinced them how dangerous traps are.
I'm the one who killed everyone... who killed Sachi.
I’m not going to die.
Because I'm the one who will protect you.
October 23rd, 2024 55th Floor • Grandum
Training?
That’s right.
We’ll form a party of three, and you’ll help us clear the labyrinth here on the 55th Floor.
Excuse me, Godfree.
Kirito-kun is with me—
Even the vice-commander must observe our regulations.
And since he's now part of the guild, it's my duty as the forward commander to see what he’s truly made of.
K-Kirito-kun's more than powerful enough to not cause you any problems!
Well then, we’ll meet at this town’s western gate in half an hour!
Just when we got to be alone together...
I’ll be right back.
Wait here for me.
Okay.
Be careful.
Hey, over here!
What’s he doing here?
Oh, since you’re now part of our guild, I thought it'd be good to let bygones be bygones.
I apologize for the trouble I caused the other day.
I promise not to offend you again, so I beg your forgiveness.
Uh, sure.
There, problem solved.
Now then, I'd like to see how you guys handle crises, so I’ll be taking all of your crystals.
Even the teleportation crystals?
Yeah.
Come on.
All right.
Good!
Let’s go, men!
Yessir.
55th Floor • Near the Labyrinth
All right, we'll take a break here!
I shall now distribute our rations.
Paralytic poison!
Wh-What’s the meaning of this?
You were the one who prepared the water, Kuradeel...
Quick, the antidote crystals!
Godfree-san.
I knew you were an idiot, but it looks like you’re a real meathead!
Wh-What are you doing?
S-Stop!
Just so you know.
Our party got attacked...
...by a large group of outlaw players out in the field!
Two of us died fighting bravely!
Though I was all alone, I managed to drive the outlaws away and come back alive!
Hey.
It's thanks to a brat like you that I had to kill an innocent man.
You sure seemed to be enjoying yourself.
Why would someone like you join the Knights of Blood?
An outlaw guild would suit you far better!
Funny you should say that.
You have good eyes.
That’s the PK guild, Laughing Coffin!
It's where I learned this paralysis trick.
Whoa there.
I should stop talking, or the poison will wear off.
Let’s put an end to this, shall we?!
The poison hasn’t worn off yet?
Tell me, how does it feel?
How does it feel to have death staring you in the face?
Come on, tell me!
Is this...
Is this how I’m going to die?
Hey, come on! Say something!
You’re about to die, you know!
Oh, what’s this?
So you're afraid of dying, after all?
That’s right.
I can't die yet!
Is that so?
Now we’re talking!
Die! Die!
Die!
Heal!
I made it...
I made it!
Thank God I made it!
I was monitoring your position on the map.
When I saw Godfree's marker disappear, I thought something might've happened.
You’re alive...
You’re alive, aren’t you, Kirito-kun?
Yeah, I’m alive.
Wait here.
I'll end this straight away.
A-Asuna-sama, this was just training.
That’s right, we had a little accident while training!
Damn it!
O-Okay! I get it!
I’m sorry!
I’ll quit the guild!
You’ll never see my face again!
So please...
I don’t wanna die!
You’re too soft, Lady Vice-Commander!
You damn murderer.
I’m sorry.
This...
This is my fault.
Asuna...
I’m sorry.
I... I won't...
...bother you...
...again...
My life belongs to you, Asuna.
I will use it for your sake.
We'll be together until the very end!
I... I promise that I'll protect you, too.
I will protect you until the end of time.
So...
I will send you back to the real world, no matter what happens.
Asuna.
Today...
Tonight, I want to be with you.
Okay.
61st Floor • Selmburg
All right.
D-Don't... stare at me.
H-Hurry up and get undressed too!
It’s too embarrassing if it’s just me.
Wait, hold on!
I just... wanted spend some time here with you tonight.
That was all I wanted.
Y-Y-You...
You jerk!
Sorry, did I wake you?
Yeah.
I had a short dream.
About the real world.
It’s strange.
I started worrying that my days in Aincrad and meeting you were just a dream.
I was really scared.
I'm so glad it wasn’t just a dream.
You’re so weird.
Don’t you want to go back?
I do.
I want to, but I don’t want to lose the time I've spent here either.
These two years are precious to me.
I think that even now.
Hey, Kirito-kun.
Can we take some time off from the front lines?
Huh?
I'm afraid.
I feel if we go back to battle, something bad will happen again.
Maybe I’m just a little tired.
Yeah.
I’m tired too.
In the southwest area of the 22nd Floor, there’s a small village surrounded by woods and lakes.
Let’s move there together.
And...
And?
L...
Let’s get married.
Okay!
