Yui, what's wrong?

This is only my hypothesis...

but Alfheim Online is much different from the other The Seed Project VRMMOs in one respect—

the Cardinal System that governs its operation hasn't been stripped down.

It has the full specs and source code of the original from Sword Art Online.

The full specs?

The original Cardinal System had a function for automatically generating quests.

It gathered legends and lore from all over the world through its networks.

By synthesizing terms and story patterns from them,

it could generate any number of quests.

So the one we're on was automatically generated by the Cardinal System?

Given how the NPC behaved, I believe that's the case.

Depending on how closely the source material is followed,

it might run its course all the way to the very end.

The data in my archives all indicate that

this quest and ALO itself are based on Norse mythology,

which describes a final war that ends all of creation.

Not only do the frost giants invade from Niflheim or Jötunheimr,

but flame giants from Muspelheim, an even lower world,

appear and burn down the World Tree in its entirety...

Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods.

No way.

There's no way a game system would destroy all its maps and environments.

But the original Cardinal System does have the permissions to do just that.

After all, the original Cardinal System's final task

was to destroy the floating castle, Aincrad.

No way...

But my shop is...

I haven't even found my soul mate yet.

Even if Ragnarok unfolds before our very eyes,

couldn't the system use a backup to restore things back to normal?

No, the data in the Cardinal System's automatic backups

only allows it to roll back player data, not field data.

I know!

Never mind.

What in the world was that about?

I was going to call a GM to see if they knew about all this.

You have attempted to contact us outside of our normal hours.

Please resend your query during regular support hours.

But it's not their support hours yet.

Well, it is Sunday morning, and nearly New Year's.

Onii-chan...

There isn't much time.

You're right.

Let's hurry up and finish this.

Yeah!

I've been walking in the light all this time

Zutto hikari no naka kinou made wa nakatta

I've been following footprints that didn't exist until yesterday

Ashiato wo tadotte kita hodo

Although I've been in a maze with no goal, with a map drenched in rain

Gooru no mie nai meiro ame ni utareta chizu

I have no regrets at all

Koukai mo nani mo nai kedo

If I cry out

Sakenda koe wa

I'm sure my voice will reach you

Kitto todoku kara

The sound of the bell in the beginning of the story

Kono monogatari no hajimaru kane no ne ga

Will connect us during our journey

Tsunagu tabi no tochuu de

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

Will lead you to a sky of that day

Itsuka no sora ni michibikare te

Will lead you to a sky of that day

Itsuka no sora ni michibikare te

And will make our dream come true and even go beyond miracles

Futatsu no omoi wo hitotsu zutsu katachi ni shite kiseki wo motto koete

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

Exists somewhere even now

Ima mo dokoka de iki tsuzukete

Let's add layers of our dream and reach the true pure light

Donna yume kasanete itsuwaru koto no nai ano hikari wo

Let's add layers of our dream and reach the true pure light

Donna yume kasanete itsuwaru koto no nai ano hikari wo

Ah oh beautiful my way!

Damn it.

This is bad, Onii-chan!

The yellow one's physical defense is too high!

Yeah.

Man, too bad we don't have a mage who can nuke it with magic.

Did you of all people just say that?

That aside, the black one with high magic resistance would just switch places and absorb it anyway.

This sure is a real pain.

Shock wave attack coming up in two seconds!

One!

Zero!

Kirito-kun!

At this rate, I'll run out of MP in two-and-a-half minutes.

Got it.

Onii-chan,

seventy percent of the medallion's light has already faded.

If we die here, we'll run out of time.

I-I see.

Listen up!

We've only got one option left!

It'll leave us open to attack, but with magic-type Sword Skills

we might be able to actually damage the yellow one!

We have to give this a shot and try to overwhelm it with all our Sword Skills.

Damn straight!

I've been waiting for you to say that, Kirito.

Silica, do the bubble attack when my count hits zero.

Roger!

Two... one...

Now!

Pina, Bubble Breath!

Go!

Kirito!

I'm still stunned.

Now's my chance!

Aw, what's wrong?

Hope you're ready for a beatdown!

We did it!

Anyway, what the hell did you just do?

Do I really have to explain?

Of course!

I've never seen anything like it!

It's a Non-System Skill—

Skill Connect.

Skill Connect?

Remember how Sword Skills got added to ALO in the last update?

But that didn't include unique skills like Dual Wield and Holy Sword.

But didn't you use both swords for that attack?

That wasn't Dual Wield, though.

I was just alternating between one-handed Sword Skills.

You can only chain three or four of them in a row without delay, and that's if you're lucky.

I'm getting some major déjà vu.

Anyway, what the hell did you just do?

Do I really have to explain?

Of course!

I've never seen anything like it!

It's an Extra Skill,

Dual Wield.

You're imagining it.

Anyway, we need to get a move on.

Leafa, how much time do we have left?

Looks like about an hour, at this rate.

I see.

Yui, this dungeon has four floors, right?

That's right.

The third floor is only seventy percent the size of the second,

and the fourth is just a boss room.

If it takes thirty minutes to beat the last boss,

we've only got thirty minutes left to get to him.

I guess...

Our only choice is to track down the King of the Giants or whatever he's called and kick his butt!

Okay, once everyone's recovered all their HP and MP,

let's clear the third floor!

Yeah!

Okay, all that's left is the last boss!

Please...

Get me out of here.

It's a trap.

For sure.

No doubt about it.

Y-Yeah...

it's got to be a trap, right?

Or, is it...?

Well, Yui?

She's an NPC.

She's connected to the language engine module, just like Urd was.

But unlike Urd,

she has an HP gauge.

Maybe that means we have to fight her.

Totally a trap.

It has to be, right?

I'm pretty sure.

I mean, maybe it's not a trap,

but we don't have time to waste.

We have to get to Thrym as soon as possible.

Y-Yeah...

Fair enough.

Please... Someone...

Help me!

It's a trap, right?

I get it.

But even so...

Even if I understand that...

I just can't leave her there!

Even...

Even if this causes us to fail the quest,

and Alne is destroyed,

I know I must save her!

It's the way of the samurai!

Don't worry, I'm coming for you!

Thank you, fairy swordsman.

Can you stand?

Are you hurt?

Thanks, I am fine.

It's a bit of a ways to the exit.

Think you can manage on your own?

Fleeing the castle is out of the question.

I must first retrieve my family's treasure, which was stolen by Thrym, King of the Giants.

Could you please take me to Thrym's room?

Pretty fishy, huh?

No kidding.

Hey, Kirito...

Oh, whatever... Fine, have it your way.

All we're doing is following this path to the end anyway.

Besides, we're still not one hundred percent certain it's a trap.

All right! Just leave it to us!

It must be fate that brought us together.

Let's go beat up that jerk Thrym!

Thank you, Mister Swordsman!

Cool it. Stop giving Yui funny ideas.

An NPC wishes to join your party.

Will you accept?

An NPC wishes to join your party.

Will you accept?

An NPC wishes to join your party.

Will you accept?

An NPC wishes to join your party.

Will you accept?

My name's Klein.

Freyja...

What a lovely name.

She's got a lot of MP.

Is she a mage?

Given the layout of the dungeon,

the stairs should lead right into the last boss's room.

He's probably even stronger than the other bosses,

so let's stick to the basics and nail him with our best moves.

Let's start off defending until we figure out his attack pattern.

I'll signal when to go on the offensive.

The boss's attack patterns will change when his HP gauge turns yellow, and again when it's red, so watch out.

This is the last battle.

Let's give it all we've got!

Yeah!

I've never seen a buff that boosts your max HP!

How many Yrd would all this be worth?

Oh, a fly.

I certainly hear its incessant buzzing.

Let me see.

Time to swat it

before it spoils these halls.

So Urd has sent little flies from Alfheim all the way to my domain?

I offer you this, puny maggots:

Tell me where she is,

and I'll let you take as much gold from this room as you can carry.

You think samurais are swayed by threats and bribes?

No way I'm taking you up on that kind of garbage.

Oh, if it isn't Freyja-dono.

If you've left your cage,

does that mean you've decided to become my wife?

Wait, uh, wife?!

Of course.

She came here to marry me.

But the night before the wedding feast, I caught her sneaking around my treasure vaults.

As punishment, I locked her in a cage of ice.

Hey, Onii-chan...

I think I read about this in a book.

Something about Thrym and Freyja, stolen treasure,

and um... I think...

I refuse your hand in marriage!

Together with these brave warriors, I shall defeat you and recover what is rightfully mine!

Fighting words, I see.

It's no wonder the legends of your beauty and bravery are known in every corner of the world.

That said, the nobler the flower, the more fun it is to pluck.

After crushing these flies,

I'll shower you with my full attention.

You bastard!

You'll do none of that!

I won't let you lay a finger on Freyja-san!

Is that more buzzing I hear?

To commemorate this day all of Jötunheimr becomes mine,

I will crush every last one of you!

Heads up!

Follow Yui's instructions, and try to dodge as best you can!

Yeah!

You need a time machine?

We stand side by side with our carefree faces

Suki darake no kao narabete

Talking about the same old things

Itsumo to onaji hanashi shite

While the heroes on TV look busy as they fight for the future

Terebi no naka hiiroo ga mirai no tame ni isogashi sou

It feels cozy here with you, more than anywhere else

Hoka ni wa nai igokochi ga aruyo

What can I do? I used to like being alone, but I can't go back to that time

Mairunaa hitori ga suki datta no ni mou modore nai

Even when we have our silly little chats

Taai no nai jikan wo wake ai

We don't say we're happy or sad, because we're so much alike

Ureshiiyo toka sabishiiyo toka nita mono doushi dakara iwanai

Those days like an adventure movie have long since gone

Bouken eiga to wa tooi mainichi ni

But I hope this overwhelming flood of fond remembrances never ends

Akireru you na afureru you na omoidashi warai ga tsuzuki masu you ni

You need a time machine?
