Central Cathedral, 95th Floor Morningstar Lookout

Kirito.

You didn't carry me all this way, did you?

Yep, I did.

And it sure wasn't easy.

So a little gratitude would be—

What are you doing?

Yuck! You're drenched with sweat!

It got into my clothes!

Get away from me this instant!

Are you serious?

Ouch!

Where's your friend?

You mean Eugeo?

Where do you think this Eugeo is right now?

If he took the stairs from the Cloudtop Garden,

he must have run into his most powerful opponent before reaching this floor.

Most powerful opponent?

Oji-sama...

The Knight Commander Bercouli.

Eugeo, where are you?

I know!

System Call.

Generate Umbra Element.

Adhere Possession.

Object ID, WLSS703.

Discharge.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to locate the Blue Rose Sword.

Eugeo would never let that sword out of his sight.

Below us.

Wait.

Did you treat my wound?

Yeah.

I managed to stop the bleeding, but my sacred art skills can only do so much.

Can you heal your right eye?

There aren't sufficient sacred resources in the air, currently.

It won't be possible to treat it until Solus has risen.

I still feel some pain, and the vision on my right side is somewhat limited,

but neither will prevent me from fighting.

B-But...

Besides...

I'd like to feel it a bit longer.

I want to feel the pain brought on by my resolve to fight the Church.

The proof of my will.

Alice...

All right.

If we go into battle, I'll protect your right side.

Is this Eugeo's doing?

Yeah. No doubt about it.

This is his Blue Rose Sword under the Perfect Weapon Control art.

But I never imagined it had this much power...

Oji-sama? Oji-sama!

What's over...

Oji-sama?

This isn't part of Eugeo's art.

Long ago, I heard something from Oji-sama.

He told me Prime Senator Chudelkin was given the authority to turn anyone to stone.

I believe the name of the command is Deep Freeze.

Then it was his own ally, the prime senator, who cast the art on the knight commander?

But why?

Oji-sama seemed to harbor doubts about the orders issued by the senate.

But he told himself the Human Empire could never know peace without the Axiom Church's rule,

and spent countless days battling.

The senate may have all the authority in the world,

but this... there's no reason for him to receive treatment like this!

Oji-sama!

Oji-sama...

Stop it! Please stop it! Your body will shatter! Oji-sama!

Hey, little one.

Don't cry so much.

It'll ruin your good looks.

Oji-sama...

I see.

You finally made it over the wall.

The seal of the right eye that I couldn't break, even after 300 years.

Oji-sama... I... I'm...

Don't make that face. I'm happy, you know.

Now there's nothing left for me to teach you.

That's... That's not true at all!

There's more, so much more, that I want to learn from you!

I know you can do it, little one.

Guide this twisted world to its proper state.

Hey, boy.

Look after her for me.

I will.

Your partner was taken away by Prime Senator Chudelkin.

To the pontifex's chambers, most likely.

Hurry... before that boy is deceived... by the labyrinth of his memories.

Oji-sama...

This is...

Usually, the only person crazy enough to wield two swords would be a pretentious high-ranking nobleman,

but for some reason, it suits you.

You think so?

Well, there's no way I can actually swing two swords at the same time.

In any case...

It seems that Eugeo has already been captured by the pontifex.

We'd better hurry. Her actions aren't bound by human logic.

Have you spoken to Administrator before?

Only once.

It was six years ago.

I awoke, having lost all of my memories,

and faced my summoner, the pontifex said to be ruling the Human Empire on behalf of the gods.

Those silver mirrors she had for eyes, reflecting all light...

Yes. Looking back, I was deeply afraid of the pontifex at that time.

"I can never defy her."

"I must accept her every word without question and offer her my everything."

I know now it was overwhelming terror that compelled me to feel that way.

Alice...

I'll be fine.

I've already made up my mind.

For the sake of my younger sister, far away in the north...

For a family I've never seen, and for all of the citizenry,

I'll do what I believe is right.

Now then, let's hurry.

For all we know, before we confront the pontifex,

we may have to battle the prime senator.

H-Hey! Is it okay to leave the knight commander like this?

We will reverse the spell either by forcing Chudelkin to reverse the art

or by slaying him.

Hey.

What is it?

I keep hearing the name "Prime Senator Chudelkin,"

but who are these senators, anyway?

To be honest, that's never been clearly explained, even to the Integrity Knights.

I heard that they're on floors 96 and above, but knights are prohibited from entering that area.

What's their job?

The Taboo Index...

They monitor and confirm whether all residents of the Human Empire are obeying the Taboo Index.

That's the senate's job.

And whenever someone runs afoul of the Taboos,

they send an Integrity Knight to deal with the situation.

In other words, the senators are representatives of the pontifex?

But how could someone as cautious as Administrator give them that much authority?

This is the senate?

Yes. It should be.

Sacred arts?

They don't seem to be attack spells.

Let's go in.

S-Severed heads?

No. They seem to have their bodies attached.

They're like the one from back then!

You've seen them before?

Yeah.

One appeared after we fought Raios and Humbert at the Swordcraft Academy.

There's no doubt it was these guys.

System Call.

Display Rebelling Index.

These are supposed to be senators of the Axiom Church, ruler of the Human Empire?

Was it the pontifex who created what I'm seeing now?

Yeah, probably.

She must've abducted people skilled in the sacred arts from all over the Human Empire

and turned them into these surveillance devices called senators.

Unforgivable!

Oh no! Oh no, this won't do!

This won't do!

Whose voice is that?

The Prime Senator... Chudelkin.

This won't do!

This won't do! It won't! It simply won't do!

If you try to recite a sacred art, I will cut out your tongue at the root.

You...

Number Thirty! What are you doing here?

You were supposed to fall to your death with the traitor!

Don't you dare call me by a number!

My name is Alice.

And I am no longer Thirty.

You! Why are you...

Thirty—

Lady Alice, why haven't you killed this brat?

I told you that he's a rebel against the Church! A pawn of the Dark Territory! Don't you remember?

It's true that he's a rebel.

But he's not a member of the realm of darkness.

He is no different than I am now.

Are you planning to betray us, you shitty excuse for a knight?

You damned Integrity Knights are nothing but puppets!

Mere dolls who do exactly what I order you to do!

It was the Axiom Church that turned us into puppets, correct?

You sealed away our memories through the Synthesis Ritual

and instilled fealty into us by force,

making us believe the myth that we were knights summoned from the heavens.

Yes. That's exactly right.

I still remember it clearly.

The sight of you, so young, innocent, and sweet, with tears streaming down your face as you begged!

"Please! Don't make me forget! Don't make me forget the people I love!"

Even now, I can enjoy just thinking about it all night long!

You were brought here from some dump in the sticks, and for the first two years,

you were trained as a nun.

You were such a tomboy that you'd find ways around the rules to sneak off to the Centoria summer solstice festival!

Still, you did your best, believing that if you studied hard, you'd get to go home one day, right?

But that was never going to happen.

Once you'd raised your sacred art authority level high enough, it was time for forced synthesis!

That tear-stained face of yours when you realized you'd never go home again...

I wanted to turn it to stone right then, so I could display it in my room for all eternity!

You just said something odd.

Forced synthesis?

If I didn't know better, I'd say that sounds like some people underwent synthesis of their own free will.

Your ears are sharper than I thought. That's right.

Six years ago, you stubbornly refused to recite the secret commands required for a normal Synthesis Ritual.

You were the most insolent brat imaginable, let me tell you!

So we had no choice but to pause the automated senators,

and have them conduct a ritual to pry open the door protecting what you held so dear!

Well, I did get to see the rarest of sights. What a feast for the eyes!

He's waiting for something.

Is this rambling story of his a ploy to keep us in this room?

Prime Senator Chudelkin...

It seems that you've enjoyed the life you live.

In that case, you should have no regrets.

Your stories are starting to bore me.

Sacred arts aren't the only way to put on a show! You fools! Fools!

Chudelkin!

Hey!

System Call! Generate Luminous...

Watch out for a sacred art surprise attack!

Got it!

I thought I heard him chanting.

Could it be that Chudelkin escaped to the hundredth floor?

But then where are the stairs leading up there?

There are still Integrity Knights left to fight?

No, that's not possible.

Eugeo!

You...

It can't be.

That was too fast.

Too fast? What's too fast?

The completion of the ritual.

Your partner...

Eugeo has already been synthesized.

No way.

It can't be. I mean...

Yes. Even though it hasn't been even an hour since Eugeo and Oji-sama fought.

That's right. It's not possible.

Eugeo can't...

Pull yourself together!

If you go to pieces now, you'll lose any chance to save him!

Save?

That's right.

You told me so yourself.

There's a way to restore an Integrity Knight's true memories, correct?

So we should be able to restore Eugeo back to who he was.

To achieve that, we must overcome this challenge, no matter what.

Leave this to me.

Don't let your guard down.

That knight is no longer the Eugeo you knew.

Right.

Eugeo, do you know who I am?

I'm Kirito. Your partner.

Since we left Rulid two years ago, we've been together the whole time, remember?

Sorry. I don't know who you are.

But thank you.

For what?

For bringing me my sword.

Incarnate Arms?

What the hell is that?

A secret art spoken of by Integrity Knights since ancient times.

It's neither a sacred art nor Perfect Weapon Control art,

and you can move objects solely with your own willpower.

I've heard that only a handful of knights, including Oji-sama, can use it.

It's not a ritual that a newly-created knight like Eugeo could have mastered.

What do you plan to do with that sword?

I'm going to fight you two.

Because that's what she wishes.

Eugeo, you're going to fight without even understanding why,

just because you've been ordered to?

I don't need a reason to fight.

She gives me what I want.

That's enough for me.

What you want?

Is it more important than Alice?

I don't know. I don't want to know.

About you, or anyone else.

I've had enough.

Eugeo...

I have nothing more to say to you.

Eugeo, you probably don't remember, but you learned your sword techniques from me.

As the master, I'm not ready to lose to my student just yet!
