Sword Art Online's
Chapter 26's
Still in a bad mood, Kirito glanced at the 2 bodyguards lying on the floor. He raised his right hand and created an element like 0 before him.But this time he did not give off cryogenic, but rather sparkling white light. The light was drifting towards those 2 guards.
The warm light enveloped them, the black liquid that stuck to the floor and their bodies vanished. The two guards moved their bodies and took heavy breaths. And he bowed his head in front of Scheta and Issukan.
“Commander, we can't do our duty, we don't deserve to be forgiven!”
“We have to keep the rest as long as they still kidnap Lisetta with our lives—”
Issukan answered the two guards' words by firmly holding their shoulders.
“It won't restore Lisetta! Better lend me your strength to save my daughter!”
Although his heart was broken, Issukan said in a startling voice, the two guards straightened his body.
“First, we must know what the destructive form of Dark Art Master looks like. Did you see his face? Or hear his voice?”
“It...”
The first to answer was a bodyguard named Guido.
“She wore a black hood that covered her face until it was invisible.The voice looked like a man or a woman we did not hear it clearly.”.
“So..”.
As Issukan bit his lip, Kirito opened his mouth.
“How long was it when that Dark Art Master flew out the window until we came here?”
Gaiol the big guard answered him.
“Three..ah no..it looks like two minutes..”.
“two minutes?”
Kirito looked at the night sky outside in confusion, Scheta also furrowed his brows, muttering.
“His men were injured and he vanished within 2 minutes?”
According to some studies in the large library, the flying speed of minions almost resembles that of a running person, which is about 500 mel, it seems impossible to vanish within 2 minutes, he said, but if the enemy was a high-level Dark Art Master, perhaps he used a certain hidden technique. If Kirito and Scheta do not manage to find him, Ronye is the same.
Feeling unhelpful, Ronye approached the baby's bed.The bed was box-shaped, which of course was empty, except there was only a beautiful pacifier, a teddy bear and a hairy dragon behind it. Ronye felt his heart break into pieces.
He avoided his sight for a moment.
But suddenly he saw something strange fall from the dragon doll and he was about to take it.It was like a round parchment roll tied to a red rope. It is not a baby toy.
“Here...on his bed..ada...”.
When he said it, Ronye was about to pick it up, but Issukan approached him first like a flash of light.
He cut the rope that looked strong with his finger and opened it. Issukan's left eye opened wide, holding a groan in his throat, he was shocked and fell to his bed.
From her hand, Scheta looked at the contents of the parchment, a shocked expression also emerged from her face, slowly biting her lips, and gave the parchment to Kirito.Ronye who was standing beside Kirito, set his eyes on the black writing of the parchment.
[As the sun sets on the 21st day of the 2nd month, execute the execution of the Prime Swordsman of the United Council of the Human World in a large stadium publicly with the hand of the commander of the dark forces, killing the Prime Swordsman, and send his head to the Human World. Otherwise, this plain baby's head that I'm sending to Obsidia castle.]
“....I-this............”.
Ronye shook his head several times. Today is the 21st day, and it has been more than 14 hours since sundown, passing from the execution deadline.
Ronye thought Issukan and Scheta could not possibly do such a thing, but he also understood that their daughter's life was his payment. What was more important to the two of them now than his beloved daughter?
With a soft left hand Ronye touched his left waist, but there was no sword there, as was the case with Kirito.If only they carried a sword.if only there was still an opportunity for Issukan to threaten the kidnapper, he said, then what? Fighting with them? And if Ronye and Kirito escape, Lisetta will die.
Of course I can't ignore Lisetta's safety. And I can't do my duty as Kirito-senpai's bodyguard either. Not likely. Ronye felt his tears fall due to a conflict that was never imagined like this before. He tried to see Kirito's face still holding the parchment, but he could not move his neck.
“What is it..Your Majesty..”.
One of them said with a worried tone. They were also worried about the contents of the parchment, but Issukan looked at them and pointed at the door with his right hand.
“Guido, Gaiol, go to the hall and don't let anyone in”
“Good..”.
In response to the orders from the Dark Territory commander of the darkness army, the two guards ran towards the door. Suddenly Gaiol stopped and looked over.
“There...one more thing..”.
When the 4 people in front of him turned to him, the guard continued to lower his short neck “This was nothing.but as the Dark Art Master and his minions left the window, I heard a strange sound.”.
Hearing Scheta's question, Gaiol answered him by opening and closing his mouth several times to try to imitate him.
“Voice like rock bang, griigriiii”
“Stone bang..?”
It looks like Issukan who has memorized all parts of this castle did not find where the sound came from. Gaiol saluted again and closed the door.The gloomy-sounding bedroom, Kirito opened his mouth.
“...sorry Issukan, Scheta-san, it's my fault that Lisetta was kidnapped..”.
“What are you saying? Don't blame yourself.”.
He denied Kirito's words, still in shock until his feet felt hard to stand.
“The problem is not only Lisa, I'm also dizzy. Those minions, minions from the Dark Art Master should not be able to fly this high. Only dragons and Dark Knights could fly here. But they are still prohibited from flying anywhere other than the back of the castle.So I am sure there will be no danger coming from behind the window.”.
Both of his hands squeezed his knees while growling. Scheta approached her husband and gently touched his hand.
“Then, I've been involved in this situation.”
Kirito said it again with the parchment he still held in his hand.
“Ronye realized that the killing in the Human World was a trap for me to go to Obsidia. But I decided to go to Obsidia that day, there was no conspiracy with me. The person who kidnapped Lisetta was, they must have had a group between the Human World and the Dark Territory, in other words they had a fast relationship over the speed of the dragon machine.”
“Dragon machine? You used that to go from Centoria to Obsidia in one day?”
Kirito nodded.
“Yes, I'll tell you the details later, but now is about Lisetta..
Kirito continued his words while looking at the contents of the parchment again.
“Maybe their goal is to make the Human World and the Dark Territory feud again, If you ignore it, they will carry around that threat. I will save Lisetta, but..if I fail then I must—”
“Stop!”
Issukan directly cut Kirito's words as he was about to say ‘executed’Ronye knew if Kirito and Asuna came from the real world to Underworld.They were lying in something called ‘STL’ in the real world, and they said only their souls had moved to the Underworld. If they lost their lives in the Underworld, they would not die, but their souls would return to the real world.
Kirito-senpai must be thinking about it. If they go back to the real world, there's a chance they won't go back to the Underworld again—they're the ones who say that. For Ronye it was the same as Kirito's death. It was the same as losing moments with the person Kirito met. The human world.no, the entire Underworld still needs him.
He couldn't help but all the fear and thought that whirled like this storm in words, but Ronye simply clasped the folds of the Prime Swordsman's black clothes beside him. He understood that Ronye was terrified, and he tried to say something in a low voice.
“First, I will go to the Dark Art Master group in the north to get information, the only ones who can damage this room must be the minions that do not belong to their group, he said, but if those minions are taken advantage of, I might be able to find the proof.”
“I understand..Then I will go with you. If Scheta was there alone, those Dark Art Masters might try to trick him.”
Issukan stood up from his place and took his silver headband on the table and put it on. Likewise with Scheta who changed his pajamas, Ronye who saw him he immediately turned his eyes.Listening to Kirito while walking towards the broken window, he slightly moved his lips, thinking of something.
“Is there any chance that the Dark Art Master and the minions who kidnapped Lisetta came back here by passing another floor?”
Issukan answered with a huff.
“At the moment all the windows are locked, if there is any damage from outside, the guards must have seen it. But..if there are strangers in this castle, it is very possible to open the window from inside..”.
Scheta nodded and added a little.
“All the guards are looking all over this castle.”
“Can me and Ronye help?”
As Kirito asked, Issukan nodded without hesitation.
“I beg you, I need your strength when those minions come back. This take.”
He opened the small drawer of the table, took out a silver necklace and gave it away. As Kirito received it with one hand, Issukan raised his thumb to his silver headband.
“This as a witness of the assistant commander of the dark forces, just show me the thing and say my name, then the door will open.”
“Alright, thank you.”
As Kirito held the necklace and saw the silver pieces on his neck, Issukan approached him and held tightly onto the Prime Swordsman's shoulders.
“—I count on you”
With that short sentence, Issukan went with Scheta. As the door opened and closed, during the wait, the 4am bell had rung quietly.
