Volume 63: Crimson Knight

They arrived in the third room where their weapons are held in the armory. They looked around to make sure nobody saw them.

Yami: okay we're clear.

They nodded and went in the armory. Eugeo closes the door as Kirito had his hand out.

Kirito: System Call: Generate Luminous Element.

Three small orbs of light came out of Kirito's fingers and flew up to bright the room to see a huge room of armor and weapons.

Eugeo: amazing, these are all weapons?

Kirito: let's go. We have to find our swords and get them back.

They looked around and Eugeo found their swords.

Eugeo: here they are!

They grabbed their swords as Eugeo looked at his sword for a while.

Yami: how long are you going to stand there in awe?

Eugeo: I couldn't help it. Hey, Kirito, Yami. Do you think the Church is planning to build it's own army someday?

Kirito: The Integrity Knights alone should be enough.

Yami: no it's not. A couple of knights like them are not enough. Something more is coming up and it's not gonna be pretty. I think you guys should get some better armor that you know of.

He looks behind him to see the clothes, he smiles, walks towards them and hands the boys the clothes.

Yami: you two, go change, I'll wait.

So they changed into their new clothes as Yami looks and smirks.

Yami: alright let's go.

They opened the door, as they did four arrows were shot and they backed away. It caused a shockwave as they saw the knight ready up his bow.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The red knight or Deusolbert shot the arrows but Kirito shouts.

Kirito: Burst Element!!

The light brights which blinds Deusolbert as he shot the arrows but misses them.

Yami: straight ahead!!

They all rush forward.

Deusolbert: such absurd antics.

He shot one arrow but Kirito reflects it but he grabs many more which Kirito widen his eyes as the red knight shot them up and rain down on the three boys.

Yami: shatter!!

They all dodge the arrows making sure they weren't harm.

Eugeo: Kirito!! Are you okay?

Kirito: yeah...

They saw Yami who had arrows on his chest and arms but he grins.

Yami: come on!! You can boost your weapon's ability!!

Deusolbert: System Call.

The bow began to glow brighter as Kirito was shocked.

Kirito: this is bad. That's not an elemental command. It's the Perfect Weapon Control Art!!

Yami: Kirito-chan....I'm heart broke that you forgotten about my spiritual power.

Kirito: shit, you right.

Eugeo: Spiritual Power?

Yami: yeah, let me show you a taste of it.

He takes out Zangetsu and his clothes were replaced by his soul reaper robes.

This shocked both Eugeo and Deusolbert as they felt the pressure coming from Yami.

Yami: letting you know, this is only the start of what to come in the future. Come on Deusolbert show me what you got.

Deusolbert: Enhance Armament.

Circles appeared around the bow, vanished as the string from the bow burns off. Then the bow burst into flames along of surrounding Deusolbert.

Eugeo was sweating due to the heat as Kirito was amazed by it.

Kirito: that's amazing. I wonder what that bow source is?

Eugeo: this is no time to be impressed!!

Deusolbert: it's been two years since I was last engulfed by the Conflagration Bow. I see. You criminals do indeed have the skills to contend with Sir Eldire Thirty-One. But that manes it all the more unforgivable.

Yami: using dark arts.

Kirito: Dark Arts?

Eugeo: we were just talking about his past before he became a Integrity Knight!!

Deusolbert: None of us has a past. From the moment we were summoned here from the heavens, we have always been glorious Integrity Knights!!

Yami: you're crazy than us. No you lost your humanity becauae of that wanna be goddess. SHE WAS FOOLISH!!

Deusolbert pulls the bow to ready his arrow but Yami slams his hands down to create a wall of water as he spoke towards the two.

Kirito: it doesn't matter if he's out of arrows or his bowstring broken, huh?

Eugeo: any ideas?

Yami: he can't rapid fire with that. If Kirito get lucky and block first shot, one of us charge him.

Eugeo: that's not reassuring.

He looked them as they gave him a grin he sighs and had his stance up. The wall of water evaporates.

Eugeo: I'm ready.

The three look at Deusolbert as he looks back at them. Now they charge towards the red knight.

Kirito: System Call: Generate Cryogenic Element!!

The cryogenic formed on Kirito's hand as it formed into four small orbs.

Kirito: Discharge!!

The four orbs were send out to create four walls of ice.

Deusolbert: Ludicrous.

He shot the arrow which destroyed the three walls of ice until the fourth one was holding the arrow. Then it starts to form into a hawk as it broke the last ice wall. Kirito screams as he spins his sword to block the attack a small fire burned bit of his pants near his shoes.

It was too much and the blast sends out Kirito as he hits Yami and both hit the wall.

Eugeo: Kirito!! Yami!!

Yami: just keep going, Eugeo!!!

He charges towards the smoke. He blasted the smoke away as he jumps towards Deusolbert.

Deusolbert: don't insult me, boy!!

Eugeo: what now?

He remembered when they were mentors as he remembered Yami's voice.

(Small Flashback)
Yami: In this world, the important thing is what you infuse your sword with.

Eugeo: I wonder what I should infuse my sword with?

Yami: that's something you need to figure it out on your own. I don't have every answer to solve.

He sees a young Alice as she looks at him with a smile.
(End)

Eugeo: right. That's all that matters. I'm definitely going to rescue Alice this time. So...Please, Blue Rose Sword!! Lend me your strength!! I have to move forward!!

The sword and Deusolbert's bow collided. He sees steam coming out of the handle.

Eugeo; you...ever since the world's creation, were forged by the bitter cold blizzards at the top of the End Mountains. Don't let these pathetic flames...

Deusolbert: Mmm?

Eugeo: defeat you!!

The sword became more colder which the flames were fleeing as Eugeo pushes him away. He charges him and swing downwards which damage the armor and blood came out and he backed out.

Eugeo: you're not getting away!!

He jumps and swings the armor as the shoulder part fall to the ground as Kirito and Yami looked up and Eugeo gripped his sword.

At the floor part of the stairs, Eugeo looked at the blade and the blood was washed away. Deusolbert was groaning in pain. He moves to see his bow and asked Eugeo a question.

Deusolbert: boy, what's the name of that first secret skill you used?

Eugeo: The Aincrad-style two-hit strike sword skill, Vertical Arc.

Deusolbert: A two-hit strike attack....And you? What skill did you use?

Eugeo: Kirito, Yami!! Are you two hurt?

Kirito: I'm fine.

Yami: I'm good, Eugeo. We're mostly healed the worst burns. Deusolbert, that was the Aincard-Style defensive skill, Spinning Shield.

Deusolbert: from one end of the relam of humanity to the other...I was sure that I'd seen past that. But in this world, there are still swords I've never seen, skills I've never encountered, eh?

Yami: there's more stiff that you've never encountered before.

Deusolbert: your skills were suffused with the weight of years of earnest training. I accused you of using vile arts to lead Sir Eldire astray, but I was mistaken. Please tell me your names.

Eugeo: Eugeo the Swordsman. No family name.

Kirito: I'm Kirito the Swordsman.

Deusolbert: what about you?

Yami: Yami that's all you need to know.

Deusolbert: on the 50th floor of the cathedral, in the Great Hall of Ghostly Light, there are several Integrity Knights awaiting you. They've been ordered not to take you alive but extinguish your lives. If you charge them head-on like you just did with me, your lives will be snuffed out in an instant.

Yami: We're not going to be defeated that insantly. We're going to fight back to bring Alice back and I'm not going to lose to her. You two go on ahead and wait for me, I'll be speaking him.

They thought about it as they were worried about Yami but they went ahead.

Deusolbert:....so you're going to take my life?

Yami: no, I'm not going to take someone's life. You don't remember 8 years ago but you discovering Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty. Administrator gave you credit for bringing Alice to this tower, but she had to erase your memories of that incident.

Yami: Integrity Knights have no past. That's because they've been summoned from the heavens. Or that's what you said. The pontifex must've told you that right after you awoke as a knight. To convince you that was why you couldn't remember anything from before you became an Integrity Knight. But to get you to accept that story, it wash't just your memories of being human, but also your memories of any other knight's creations that had to be erased.

Deusolbert: I don't remember anything.

Yami: your precious memories were seized by Administrator, and instead embedded fealty to the Church in you, turning you into an Integrity Knight. You're human, just like us.

Deusolbert: me? A resident of the relam if humanity like yourselves? My memories, manipulated? Unbelievable. To think that the pontifex would cast such a spell on me.

Yami: it's the truth. There's has to be something still in your mind. Something like a precious memory no such arts that can completely erase.

The knight looked at his hand as he remembered something.

Deusolbert: ever since I descended to the realm of humanity, I keep having the same dream. A small hand shaking me awake, and the silver ring worn on it's finger. But when I wake up, no one's there.

He felt a bit of pain on his head.

Yami: Administrator stole your memory of the owner of that hand and ring. You decide on what you're going to do next. Go back to the Administrator and accept your punishment, or well that's on you to figure it out.

He walks but he stopped.

Yami: once you figure out I want to warn you there's going to be a war. The War of Underworld, I hope you getting ready and join because it's gonna be a bloodbath.

He start to run on the stairs to catch up towards Kirito and Eugeo.

Yami: I hope to god they've stopped.

He finally catches towards them and he looks up to see two young girls on top of the stairs.

Yami: oh god have mercy on me.
