Sword Art Online's
Chapter 3
Although he had been designated as an apprentice knight, Ronye still could not reach the level where he could easily use ‘Incarnation’ which was the secret ability of a knight. It was impossible for him to use the sacred art by shortening it as little as possible as Kirito and the other supreme knights did, but recently he was able to sense the area of the result of that element.
As Sadore-shi said, the amount of thermal element will be filled into the dragon machine, however, the thermal element never calms down. He felt a tremble as he tried to let go.
Doing something like this with that element, what will happen if we release it?.His back feels cold but there is no choice to keep watching the process.
“...Well, I can feel the current element, Asuna-sama, they seem to control it well”Asuna beside her replied in a somewhat trembling voice.
“Thank you, then keep your eyes on the circuit.”
“Good.”
As Ronye nodded, Kirito exclaimed from a distance.
“Then, we start! Asuna, countdown yes!”
“It's always me!”
“As the old days, as we prepare to attack the boss in a hurry!”
Asuna nodded quickly at Kirito's almost obscure words, then raised her right hand and uttered a sacred art.
“System Call!”.Quickly he composed “sacred art with expanding area” combination with aerial and Crystal elements. He can also use Incarnation, but there are no enemies around so there is no need for any more reason to keep the technique secret.
Asuna opened her mouth to a thin sheet of glass that floated in the middle of the vortex like air.
[Everyone, sorry for the long wait! Now then, presented by Central Cathedral armory, we will do flight experiment ‘Dragon Prototype Machine Number 1!]
A loud voice echoed throughout the room, and the two Cathedral supervisors standing on the other side of the crowd of the city community stood up from their places and clapped. Looking at the Central Cathedral, the armor of the Integrity Knight was seen glittering by the reflection of light on the 30th floor above.
In the fanfare and applause, Kirito waved his hand at the guests and began climbing the stairs to the dragon machine. He quickly grabbed the dragon's head and opened the transparent glass and entered it.
He sat in a chair that led up into the sky, putting on his seatbelt. After wearing the large glasses that had been on his neck, he gave his thumb to Sadore.
Sadore's old man followed Ronye and Asuna backwards about 20 mel. Ronye advanced slowly while watching not to lose the thermal element connection.
[I'll start the countdown! Everyone help me!]Asuna called out to the audience in a very familiar tone. He raised both of his hands into the air and widened his 10 fingers.
[Everything! It's ten! Nine! Eight!]
About 1000 voices responded to Asuna's call that folded her fingers. At the same time, Tieze and Renri also counted down with a smile.
Ronye exclaimed together while hugging Tsukigaki.[A seven! Six! Five!] Unexpectedly, the vibration of the thermal element grew stronger. Kirito directly controlled it with Incarnation.
Kirito's powerful thinking abilities are connected to the thermal elements that Ronye gave him as a mediator.
Again, something throbbing in his chest.
—I can't keep letting this feel go
—As Kirito-senpai's partner, I must remain calm until I am old.Ronye shouts louder, trying to hide her hot eyes from Asuna who is standing next to her.
[Four! Three! Two!] The sound of the dragon machine grew louder. The blunt, silver-colored end glittered and the light from the tube inside changed color from red to orange and yellow.
[One, zero!] The stone path there trembled by the Incarnation settlement of Kirito
“Release!”Keywords to release the element.
Suddenly after, 20 hot elements shot out with a hidden power.Suspended with a corresponding sound, a whitish-colored flame emerged from the very bottom of the dragon machine. The stone floor that should have been an immortal object was seen burning with a lot of white smoke. The crowd echoed each other.
From the smoke, the metal dragon flew straight with a line of silver.A shrill voice in the sky that Ronye had never heard before. A series of fire tails from 2 tubes, the dragon was getting taller and taller.
Ronye felt pain in both of his palms after releasing the heat earlier. It was inseparable, no matter what material was made, the ultra-high heat should be able to shatter and the dragon machine would explode. After all, the ultra-low temperature of the ice element sent to one of the tubes attached close to the room, can reduce the temperature of the room.
As a result, the explosive force of the released thermal element was only in one direction of the pipe tube, and the gigantic dragon machine flew straight.
“...Excellent..”.
Tears fell from both of Ronye's eyes, for some reason.Seeing glazed over, he saw a silver dragon flying higher and higher past Central Cathedral.
If the dragon landed in one place, making sacred power in the surrounding area would be exhausting and its cryogenic elements would appear constantly, but traveling at high speed should be a little to get a spatial supply. Then, the man-made dragon can fly and cannot be reached with a real dragon.
As soon as he thought about it, Ronye felt the true intent of this Prime Swordsman of the Human World.Kirito-senpai's goal was not just to fly, it was possible…up to ‘World End Walls’ that can never be passed, may be skipped.
Anyway, his thinking is far away.
Suddenly Ronye felt a sign that the thermal element was open.The seal began to change, melting with high heat. I don't know the reason, but the supply of cryogenic elements should have lowered the temperature of the room, but it wasn't enough.
“Ah, Asuna-sama! Thermal elements—”
When they say it, they hear the sound of ‘duum!’ which sounded unpleasant to hear, and saw the black smoke from his pipe tube.After that, the dragon rotated vertically. Turning south, precisely at—Central Cathedral, 95th floor.
“Collision!?” Ronye held his hands together in the chest and shouted, the sound of the crowd was heard.
By voice ‘sets!’ Asuna pulled the sword from her waist.The dazzling yellow light from Solus separated into 7 colors, heading towards the Cathedral.
“Yoosh!”Asuna exclaimed like the voice of a goddess, at the same time she moved the tip of her sword to the left.
When pulling it, the top of the giant Central Cathedral starting from the 95th floor shifted westward with a noise.
Next was the dragon machine passing through it with black smoke.Far from the sky in the south, it emanated a dazzling light.
By voice ‘doku~n!’ spread slowly.
Although a certain amount of energy had been drained to fly the dragon, its power was simultaneously unleashed by 20 powerful thermal elements.
Normally, one finger can only control 1 element, so even with a high-level priest, it cannot cross the line of 10 things.
There are rumors that a former member of the Council of Leaders who governs the Axiom Church once used her finger to increase that limit up to 20 times, namely the Supreme Goddess Administrator who can manipulate thousands with her hair.
Of course Ronye had never seen it.
When Knight Ronye stopped, not a single crowd left the Cathedral.
Above the air, a dazzling orange beam, also called the second Solus, was followed by a heaven-like cry descending to the ground. Almost the entire crowd exclaimed and covered his head with both hands.
However, of course, the cancellation of the thermal element process only caused an explosion in the sky, so that there was no damage around it that was thousands of mel from the ground.In the end the crowd raised his face, he said, the pitch-black smoke that spread where it almost covered the top of the Cathedral after returning to its original position.
After seeing a bigger explosion of fireworks during the celebration of the new year 2 months ago—maybe, everyone suspects that the Prime Swordsman who was in there did not survive. Likewise with Ronye, he clenched his hands in front of his chest and opened his eyes.
"K............"
Kirito-senpai!
As he shouted, Asuna who was already beside him patted his shoulder and said.
“She is fine.”
The small shadow that emerged from behind the black smoke, he heard a calm voice without a Human vibration. Although almost all the material from the dragon was smoky everywhere, but one person wearing black clothes had already come out from there.
Shadows that seemed to be widening his hands.The part of his torn clothes had turned into thin wings from the tip of his shoulder.When the dragon-like wings widened 2, ah 3 times, the speed of the fall reduced and completely stopped.
The flying technique that had disappeared after the death of the Supreme Goddess Administrator.No, it was not a sacred art. It was an ability that could only happen by Incarnation which was able to make ‘Part Of World’ to turn clothes into real wings and could fly in the sky.Nobody else was able to do it besides Kirito at present.
The spectators who watched initially clapped, then became boisterous and exclaimed at each other.Although the ‘Dragon’ Machine Flying Experiment – probably failed more than imagined from the original purpose, the, Kirito calmly went downstairs and smiled. Ronye also clapped his hands and did not take his eyes off the figure.
(e/n: Kirito falls on the top floor of the Cathedral to the audience.)
Ideas and ideas from Kirito have produced amazing results that have never existed.The smile of the figure that looks blurry from both eyes of Ronye who has been wet.With a quick wipe his eyes and pray from his heart one day it will surely come true, I hope that day will be the last forever.
