Chapter 196 - Chapter 194: Volo

Goblin Slayer World

Goblins all over the world watched as Gigascythe was beheaded, their legs trembling in fear.

"Aba aba..."

The Goblin King quickly covered his own neck and pulled his head down, terrified of having it chopped off.

Now, in addition to the rumored Goblin Slayer, there was another Goblin Slayer in the Goblin world!

The flash of the Black Swordsman's blade filled them with dread!

Inside the Adventurer's Guild

"Sonic Leap is a really good skill..."

Goblin Slayer studied this sword strike; its power surpassed that of a Gold-ranked adventurer!

If he could learn this move, facing the Goblin King would be much easier.

Wherever there were goblins, his shadow would be there...

Sword Art Online World

In the Dark Territory, various races looked at the beheaded Gigascythe with disdain.

"I thought that guy was killed by a knight, but he actually died at the hands of a human novice!"

"He's such an embarrassment to our Dark Territory!"

And the Black Swordsman had only just arrived in this world! As expected, Goblins are a weak race, unworthy of being warriors of the Dark Territory!

The sworn enemies of those Goblins now had a chance to suppress and kill them ruthlessly!

Central Capital

Alice was searching everywhere for Kirito and Eugeo, but no one knew where they were.

The information she found indicated they had left a few days ago.

"Where have you gone?"

Alice rode her dragon, searching high and low. After all, the world was just too vast!

On the Plains

"Kirito, how did I survive?"

"Logically, I should have been a goner, completely done for..."

Sister Seluka's Sacred Arts should only be able to heal minor wounds...

"I can't explain it clearly; you'll have to see for yourself..."

Kirito had been afraid to burden him with the truth, but now it seemed he could no longer hide it.

As long as it didn't cause trouble, it would be fine...

[Screen continues]

[Kirito held up Gigascythe's head to intimidate the other goblins. Seeing their boss was gone, they all fled in panic....]

[Kirito quickly woke the unconscious Seluka and asked her to heal Eugeo...]

[But his injuries were too severe...]

[Seluka could only choose a high-risk Sacred Art, using the Life of both of them to save Eugeo. If it failed, both would lose their lives....]

[As their Life was transferred, the wound on Eugeo's abdomen began to heal....]....

"Coach! I want to learn this move!"

"If I can learn this, I could live forever!"

"Learn my foot! I don't know how!"

Besides, Life couldn't be transferred at will; it seriously violated the laws of nature!

"I want eternal life!"

"If I could learn how to use this Sacred Art, wouldn't I be able to escape this aging body?..."

In those fantasy worlds, the dying's desire for life had reached unimaginable levels....

As long as they could extend their lifespan, they would do anything, give up everything, even if it meant ceasing to be human!...

[On Screen]

[Kirito's Life continued to decrease, and his vision grew blurry....]

[At that moment, a golden figure appeared behind him, hovering in the air, and placed her hands on his shoulders....]

["Kirito... Eugeo... I'm waiting for you..."]

[The gentle voice entered Kirito's mind; she was at the top of the Central Cathedral... waiting for them...]....

Alice's eyes widened. She knew that voice was her own.

But why couldn't she find any memory of Kirito?

What was that light? Could it be her soul?

So what was she now, and which one was the real her?

"Seluka..."

"Kirito... Eugeo..."

Whenever she tried to recall past scenes and defy the Taboo Index...

Her right eye hurt more and more, almost to the point of bursting!

"Ahhhh!!!"

At that moment, Integrity Knights from the Axiom Church caught up with her.

Just like before, they had orders to capture Alice and bring her back....

[On Screen]

[They returned to the village. Eugeo recovered and continued fulfilling his Calling....]

[Kirito checked his current status and found he had enough authority to wield the Blue Rose Sword....]

[Eugeo looked at Kirito in shock. A few days ago, he couldn't even hold it steady, but now he could swing it freely!]

[Kirito stared confidently at the Demon Tree; he was going to cut it down today!]....

Demon Tree: "I was so scared back then, but I couldn't speak and had no choice but to let him chop me..."

If the Demon Tree had legs, it would definitely flee this place of right and wrong!

He chops at me every day without stopping!!!

Do you know how I've survived these past few hundred years?

If I'm guilty, just chop me down and don't make me suffer daily torture.....

[On Screen]

[Kirito stood sideways, contemplating the sword skills of that world....]

[The Blue Rose Sword gleamed with a cold light....]

["Hiyah!!!"]

[A single sword sweep, and the gap in the Demon Tree suddenly widened!]

[The Demon Tree's Life rapidly decreased; this one strike surpassed the efforts of several generations!]

[Eugeo was shocked. This scene completely overturned his understanding....]

[Kirito returned the sword to Eugeo; he could now use the Blue Rose!]

[Eugeo made up his mind to rescue Alice, who had been taken by the Integrity Knights, and asked Kirito to teach him sword skills!]

[Cut down the Demon Tree as soon as possible and change his Calling to swordsman!]

[With Kirito's help, Eugeo learned the sword skills of Aincrad...]

[And successfully cut down the Demon Tree!]....

Demon Tree: "Haha... Freedom!"

All Bosses: "It's too tragic. Those targeted by the Black Swordsman basically never end well!"

In the Village

"So this is how he ended his Calling!"

"If I had known Kirito was so powerful, I would have entrusted my son to him for training!"

Some villagers regretted not getting on Kirito's bandwagon.

The villagers who had always obeyed the rules began to ponder.

The Taboo Index didn't seem so important anymore....

Those influenced by Kirito, wanting to resist fate, developed severe pain in their right eyes...

[On Screen]

[Because the Demon Tree was cut down, the entire village was excited and held a bonfire party that night...]

[The village chief also granted him the right to choose his Calling. Eugeo had now changed from a woodcutter to a full-time swordsman!]

[Kirito brought branches from the Demon Tree, and Eugeo brought the best sword from the village. The two set off on the road to the Central Capital....].....

Konosuba World

"Kazuma! Did you see that? Another one has left the starter village!"

"Stop bragging! Shut up!"

Kazuma yelled at Aqua. If it weren't for her, would he still be hiding in the starter village?

If he had chosen a powerful magic sword back then, or some cool, awesome skill, he would have defeated the Demon King by now!

"All because I brought you, this useless goddess! If I could change it, I would have done it long ago!"

"Ah! You said the unspeakable thing!"

"Waaah..."

Aqua grabbed Kazuma by the collar and shook him wildly, tears almost flowing out....

"Let's go already, aren't we going to the Crimson Demon Village?..."

Darkness stepped in to break up the fight. If they kept arguing, Aqua would start crying again...

[On Screen]

[They continued practicing swordsmanship along the way and finally reached the Central Capital... They entered the Swordcraft Academy to learn swordsmanship...]

[Through this period of experience, Kirito learned how to use the Incarnation technique. The stronger one's personal belief, the more powerful it becomes!]

[This was the conclusion Kirito reached through Senior Ronye's teachings....]....

"Kirito... Is this why you're so strong?..."

"The stronger the belief, the stronger the sword skill..."

Ronye murmured, stroking her sword. Did she lose to Sortiliena Serlut because her belief wasn't strong enough?...

Then she still had a long way to go to temper her will.

Naruto World

"Lee! Did you hear what Kirito said?"

"Yes! Master Guy! I will uphold the belief of youthful hard work!"

Rock Lee's eyes burst into flames, his fighting spirit reignited.

He would eventually become an excellent taijutsu ninja like Master Guy!

He would make the whole world acknowledge his belief!....

[On Screen]

[Kirito went to the weapon shop to pick up his polished sword....]

[After all, he still didn't have his own sword yet....]

[The shopkeeper took out a sword wrapped in cloth and calmly told him this monster wasn't something an ordinary person could wield!]

[Kirito lifted the linen cloth, revealing the sword. It was as black as the starry night....]

[He gripped the hilt and felt the power within—profound and mighty, surpassing any sword he had used before!]

[Kirito merely swung it, and the heavy force caused a storm, spreading in all directions with a shaking, cracking sound!]

["Hmph... A mere academy rookie can actually wield this monster!"]

[The shopkeeper grinned, not displeased at all, but very happy that he was worthy of this sword!]

["What a great sword!"]

[Kirito was very satisfied; it was truly a master's work, no other sword could compare!].....

In SAO

Elucidator: "?"

Dark Repulser: "?"

The two swords buzzed as if in protest.

So love just disappears, huh?...

They fought hard for Kirito, and now he has a new sword and starts disliking the old ones!

Pfft! Scumbag swordsman!.....

[On Screen]

[Kirito excitedly practiced with the sword but accidentally lost control, and the flying dust landed on the Academy Chief's clothes....]

[The Chief remained calm and demanded a duel, wanting to avenge Kirito for soiling his clothes....]

[Kirito didn't back down; he always fought elites, even if it was the Chief!]

[In the duel arena...]

[More and more swordsmen gathered, all coming to watch Kirito's humiliation....]

[Two nobles had long been dissatisfied with Kirito's outstanding and aloof attitude....]

[No matter what Kirito did, they would mock him...]....

"What disgusting expressions Humbert and Raios have!"

"Nothing but jealousy!"

Many people in the academy disliked these two, but they hadn't been seen for days. They might have died somewhere....

These kinds of people were no different from Sugou; they deserved to die!.....

[On Screen]

[The moment Volo drew his sword, she emitted a terrifying pressure, like a tiger!]

[The intense aura made the watching students break out in cold sweat. Was this the Volo's fearsome power?...]

[His gloomy face was filled with fierce murderous intent, orange flames wrapping around her sword!]

[——Norkia Style·Mountain Splitting Wave——]

[Kirito took a deep breath, not relaxing at all, and bent over, cold sweat dripping from his cheeks and falling to the ground....]

[——Combo Skill·Vertical Square Slash——]

["Hya!!!!!"]

[Volo slashed down violently, carrying a force that could split mountains!]

["Ahhhhhh!!!"]

[Kirito swiftly swung his sword, then struck sideways with another, and the third sword blocked her attack!]

[——BZZZZZT!!!]

[The sound of clashing swords was deafening, and the two forces rapidly spread!]

[Volo couldn't believe his sword was blocked and immediately used his family's secret technique passed down through generations!]

[Illusionary Swordsmanship!]

[The distorted faces of Volo roared and charged at Kirito, like several people wielding swords simultaneously!]

[Crack...]

[Kirito's one-handed sword power was suppressed by his, and he was forced back....]

["I... I can't lose here!!!"]

[Images of everyone flashed through Kirito's mind...]

[Instantly, the sword blade glowed with a dazzling golden light, and surrounding light particles merged into it, instantly lengthening the sword!]

[Volo was sweating profusely, his hands trembling. He was actually being overpowered by this force!]

[Vaguely, He saw a towering tree behind Kirito. Horrified, and in a daze, he was thrown back by Kirito's sword!]

["Ahhhhhh!!!"]

[Kirito then struck with his fourth sword, cutting open Volo's clothes....]

[As the two were about to deliver the final blow, they were stopped by the dorm mother....]....

"Damn brat! I will definitely get my revenge!"

"Let's see where you can hide now!"

 Volo's face darkened with extreme anger, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't defeat Kirito, so he had to resort to underhanded means!

If he hadn't been stopped back then, he might have died!
