"So, what do we need to do?"

BB smiled slightly and said:

"Of course, I'll help you break the seal, senior!"

Chapter 193. Fujimaru Ritsuka's Fighting Style: Spirit Origin Shadow, Summon!

193.

Is this all the power of top-tier accounts?

Kirito didn't actually like the feeling of reaching the highest point directly through cheating, especially under completely virtual stealth conditions. Having immense power but being unable to unleash it was really awkward.

But under the current circumstances, he wished BB could multiply his attributes several times over, and it would be even better if it could add a one-hit kill function.

There's no other reason than that the enemy they are facing is simply too powerful.

"Damn it, it's completely useless!"

Yui, holding the entity eliminator, hovered in mid-air, glaring angrily at the enormous, pitch-black entity before her.

Strictly speaking, it can't be said that she was completely useless, because every attack she made caused solid damage to her opponent.

But the other party always recovers completely, which is frustrating as if it were completely ineffective.

It would be great if there was a health bar.

Kirito noticed the Demon Pillar remnant flashing in his eyes again and immediately shouted:

"Watch out, it's coming again!"

"boom--!"

Having narrowly dodged another attack, he quickly confirmed Yui and Asuna's positions and breathed a sigh of relief, but continued running around the field without stopping.

Of the three people currently fighting, Yui is performing the best, because she is at least able to attack the enemy and inflict substantial damage.

Asuna and he were essentially just human targets, responsible for sharing and drawing enemy fire.

There is no health bar, no cooldown after using skills, no fixed attack pattern, and no aggro system.

This isn't a pre-programmed program in a game; it's a living, breathing, real monster!

And judging from BB's description of it, it's "remnants of the Demon God Pillar." If even remnants are this terrifying, how utterly despair-inducing must a complete Demon God Pillar be?

Is this monster also from another world like them? Who exactly are Ritsuka and BB? What do they usually face?

Kirito found it hard to imagine what that scene would be like, but for now, they could only place their hopes on the two of them.

What are BB and Ritsuka doing? Are they done yet?

The eyes of the Demon God Pillar remnant flashed again, and Kirito once again focused his attention. But just then, a dazzling pinkish-white beam of light suddenly shot out from behind them, striking the Demon God Pillar remnant's body directly and blasting a terrifying hole in it, almost cutting it in half!

"Chirp! Chi ...

The attack, which was about to be launched, was interrupted by the heavy blow. The remnants of the Demon God Pillar let out a shrill wail. Its originally amazing regenerative ability seemed unusually slow in the face of the terrible wound caused by this attack.

"I must say, you did a pretty good job, everyone. You can take a break now."

"Now it's truly over!"

At the same time, BB's cheerful voice followed from behind.

The three of them turned around and saw BB and Fujimaru Ritsuka walking side by side. They also immediately noticed the change in Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Her gaming gear had vanished, replaced by a white shirt and boots, paired with a black skirt and tights, making her look like a uniform from some research institution.

Besides the change in clothing, Asuna also noticed a mysterious, blood-red, shield-like mark on the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's right hand.

But apart from these, nothing particularly different was found.

Is that all it takes?

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued forward, while BB remained where she was, leaving the battlefield to her Master.

"Asuna, Kirito, Yui, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka walk over like this, Asuna came to her side and asked with some concern:

"Ritsuka, are you sure everything's alright now?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a reassuring smile and said:

"Well, leave it to me."

After saying that, she turned to look at the dark remnants of the demonic pillar in front of her, and fell into thought for a moment, wondering how to deal with it.

It's not that we can't find a way to deal with it, but rather that there are too many ways, and we don't know which one to choose.

That's fine then.

Seeing the huge wound inflicted on the other person by BB begin to slowly heal again, she finally made a decision.

Spirit Origin Shadow, Summon!

So she stretched out her right hand, and as the Command Seal on her arm flashed red, a dark figure shrouded in black mist appeared in front of her, looking somewhat similar to the enemy.

Aside from BB, the three others curiously examined the figure summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka. Like the remnants of the Demon Pillar, their faces were obscured, and they could only discern from the outline that the figure was female. She appeared to be wearing long furisode sleeves on her arms, and four samurai swords of varying lengths hung at her waist.

Although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they could still feel the astonishing aura emanating from the other party.

This time, she summoned the spirit shadow of Miyamoto Musashi.

Her magical power began to flow towards Miyamoto Musashi. She stared intently at the enemy before her and shouted her orders:

"The Noble Phantasm unfolds—"

"【Six Paths and Five Wheels - Kurikara Celestial Phenomenon】!"

The moment he finished speaking, the magical power within Miyamoto Musashi erupted, and a giant Niou statue wielding four long swords slowly appeared.

【Six Paths and Five Wheels - Kurikara Celestial Phenomenon】is an ultimate slash launched by Miyamoto Musashi while maintaining his two-sword style and calmly assuming a stance. He releases the earth, water, fire, and wind sword pressure from behind Niou, using the concept of 【emptiness】 and the sword of 【zero】.

It is said to be a Noble Phantasm for dealing with people, but its essence is actually a Noble Phantasm for dealing with cause and effect.

The Buddha's sword can even cut off all bad karma, past karma, curses, and misfortune in one go.

To everyone's astonishment, the Niou statue moved. It swung its earth sword at the remnants of the Demon God Pillar, slicing through the remnant as smoothly as a hot knife through butter, cleaving it in two.

The Demon God Pillar's remnants, having lost their support, began to tilt and fall uncontrollably, but it wasn't over yet. What followed was a water sword, a fire sword, and a wind sword!

With four sword strikes, the body of the Demon God Pillar was nearly shattered, but this fierce attack was only the prelude.

"—!"

As Miyamoto Musashi slashed down with his sword, the entire world seemed to lose its color and fall into darkness in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light appeared in the darkness, and then instantly transformed into a beam of light that tore through the darkness—a strike that cleaved the darkness and even the entire world in two.

This is the ultimate sword that can even cut through [ ]!

After the attack, everyone's vision gradually returned.

The remnants of the demonic pillar before him completely collapsed under this sword strike. Before he could even let out a wail, his entire body dissipated like smoke and eventually vanished without a trace.

"call--"

"It's done."

Seeing that the remnants of the Demon God Pillar had been completely destroyed, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a long sigh of relief and released Miyamoto Musashi's Spirit Origin Shadow.

She turned around with a smile, only to see Asuna, Kirito, and Yui all staring at her in disbelief.

The commotion that Fujimaru Ritsuka had just caused was clearly beyond their comprehension.

"what happened?"

What did you say?

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's puzzled expression, Asuna and Kirito were speechless for a moment, but they were also able to relax a little because of it.

Asuna took a deep breath, slowly calming the turmoil in her heart, and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka with a serious expression:

"Now that you've dealt with the enemy, shouldn't you explain things to us properly?"

It's so hard to get out of bed when the temperature drops like this!

Chapter 194. Confession, Loss of Control, and the Method of Resolution

"."

After Fujimaru Ritsuka revealed her situation, Kirito and Asuna fell silent, too shocked to know what to say.

After all, it's hard for anyone to accept that their companions, with whom they spend every day, are actually from another world.

"It feels like I'm dreaming."

Kirito smiled wryly.

Furthermore, although Fujimaru Ritsuka did not reveal the details of the other world to them, judging from what had just happened, it was undoubtedly a dangerous and mysterious fantasy world.

However, the two did not dwell on this issue for too long, because, in the end, apart from hiding her true identity, Fujimaru Ritsuka had not done anything bad, and had actually helped them.

Even BB, who always seemed like a villain, was no exception. The fact that players killed by monsters in SAO did not actually die gave them a pleasant surprise.

Soon after, Asuna turned her attention to something else, asking with a mixture of surprise and disbelief:

"So, we only need to clear two more floors to be free from the game?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at BB, then nodded and smiled:

"According to the agreement between me and BB, this should be the case."

Asuna was somewhat dazed upon hearing this.
