Alice POV
"Hello Bercouli..." I walked inside the bathhouse with the other right behind me.
"Did you got yourself some new friends?" he asked me, being very relaxed.
"More like... Reunion with old friends...but I didn't came here to chat..." I maintained my composure.
"You know surely why we are here."
"Well, I didn't thinked the day will come where I have to fight you little Alice." he got his sword out.
"I don't wana do this Bercouli-san..." i pulled my sword out as well, staying in my battlestance.
"Oh? Are you gona fight me alone?" he looked over to Y/N and the others.
"... Yes... If I have to beat you so we get to the administrator, then I am willing to do so." knowing about the Time Piercing sword, i had to be careful.
I went for the first move, sonic leaping towards Bercouli. My blade clashed with his.
He fended of my attack with pretty ease. I expected that much from him, there is no way that I can fight him like this at the moment... But I won't give up yet.
I continued my fierce strikes of attacks. He slowly puts more effort into defending and even tried to counter attack me. The clashes made the whole water around us shake.
"I guess... I don't have a choice" he prepared his trump card. But before Bercouli could even activate it, the whole bath turned into ice field.
The ice freezing Bercouli's body which caught him off guard. "I am deeply sorry to intervene in this fight but we can't waist any more time... Please understand." Eugeo looked towards me with a serious yet sadden look. "I will hold him off for a little bit, go ahead first. I come along afterwards."
"I understand, let's go. I am sorry Bercouli..." I walked past him. He let's out a chuckle as i back to him. "Don't worry, you and Edith have broken free from the seal huh? I don't have a reason to really doubt the decision you both make. Go ahead."
I smiled and head forward with a small tear shedding from my eyes. "Thank you"
We arrived at the top of the church where the administrator was already waiting for us. "So you all made it up here. I am impressed but you won't be able to defeat me."
She grinned at us and told us her true plan as a giant sword Golem appears infront of us. She explains that the source of all the divine swords that make up the Golem are from converted human units in the human empire and the source of its life is the Piety module.
Her plan to combat the Dark Territory is to create more Sword Golems from roughly half of the human empire's population.
"This is not the way to defeat the dark territory, there has to be a better way." I tried to argue but it was no use.
Chudelkin then appeard next to the administrator. "My eminence, shall I deal with those pest~" "Do as you like"
As she gave him the ok, Chudelkin immediately performs powerful sacred arts.
We avoided and dodged the attacks. As Y/N shouted to us. "I take him alone with Yuuki, you guys get Administrator! Let's go Yuuki!" "Alright"
The two launched themself towards Chudelkin to separate him with the administrator.
We took this opportunity which Y/N and Yuuki gave us to fight her head on. "Hmpf guess I have to do the work myself..." Quinella summoned her sword but has the golem going after us.
NO POV
The final battle has split into two fights. While our four heroes were taking Quinella head on. Y/N and Yuuki dealt with Chudelkin.
Their coordinated attcked proofed to be too much for Chudelkin to Handel. The two easily overcome his sacred arts with. Each time Chudelkin tried to attack with one of his Sacred arts. It either misses or gets deflected by their swords.
"What's wrong? Was that all?~" Yuuki taunted him. "Grrr... You little...don't you dare mock me!!! I will show you with who you are dealing with you piece of shit!!!" Enraged he cast a Sacred art.
Chudelkin was upside down, casting a Sacred Art. A giant flame like golem of himself appeard.
"Hahah~! Now you won't have a chance at all against my Genie
"That's a stupide name...actually it's really dumb... " Yuuki seemed unimpressed at first. This changed tho when the genie jumped and stomped on the ground. Filling the area with flames.
Kirito and the others were outside the range but that wasn't the case with Yuuki and Y/N. The majority of flames were directed towards Yuuki.
Getting caught off guard, she couldn't defend or dodge the attack in time."Ah!!?" Yuuki braced herself but instead got covered by Y/N.
The flames strucked them with a huge explosion, breaking the walls at the top.
"Y/N!! YUUKI!!" Kirito and Alice shouted as the room was still covered in smoke and flames. "How was that you little brats~" Chudelkin smirked viciously and victorious.
"Well, two down, four to go" Quinella, sat back down. "Chudelkin, finish the rest of them."
"With pleasure your eminence" the genie around towards Kirito, Eugeo, Alice and Edith. They had to face not only the sword golem but now the genie as well.
Back to back, they tried to cover eachother from both threats. Kirito still shocked from what he witnessed, couldn't think straight. "Damnit... Everytime... everytime i fail to save them..."
The genie and the sword golem came closer with each step. The room began to shake and the air was getting colder. "What's going on?
The sound of a blade clashing could be hear in the room. The sword golem then completely broke into pieces and dust.
Nobody saw who that was. Only Kirito knew which person was capable of doing this out of nowhere. "Y/N...." he broke out in tears, smiling.
Y/N finally appearing in everyone's sight while caring which seems like an unconscious Yuuki in his arm. His clothing was different than then armour of the integrity knights.
Kirito hasn't seen Y/N wearing those garments in ages.
Desperately to survive, Y/N tapped into the incarnate art. He gained a big spike in power and managed to survive the attack while protecting Yuuki.
Y/N walked over to Edith. "Take care of her..." is all he said before facing the genie, Chudelkin and Quinella.
His whole body was trembling with pain, yet he still had the will to fight.
"I see, you are not from here. You must be from the outside world." Quinella stood up. "I will deal you myself.
"Please my eminence. Let me do this." Chudelkin kept talking and talking.
Y/N stepped forwards infront of Alice and Kirito. "Y/N!" Y/N turned back, smiling. He said something but Alice, Edith and Eugeo didn't hear it. Kirito only nodded with a response.
"System call, generate aqueous and luminous elemnt. Adhere" the elements combined and coverd Y/N's blade. Turning it into a shining water katana
Y/N had only one chance to attack, he took the stance for one of his own technique. "You will die here and now!!" the Genie shot flame bullets towards Y/N.
Y/N charged forward, slicing each attack while gaining power with each rotation with his sword. His movements were like a smooth water flow.
"What is this!?" Alice, Edith and Eugeo never saw this kind of art. Only Kirito knew. It was Y/N signature move. "Constant Flux..." Kirito muttered the name out. It was similar to his Starburst Stream. This was the Underworld version of Constant Flux.
Quinella had a weird feeling about this move and took some distance between herself and Chudelkin.
Y/N got closer and closer, he jumped up as a bright water dragon formed. He came down, destroying the Genie while killing Chudelkin at the same time by splitting him in half.
The room was filled with a huge waves of water, before slowly settling down. "Well, well. You managed to kill him but now its my turn." she got up her seat, attacking Y/N who was to exhausted and weakend.
Kirito and Alice ran towards Y/N
Their fast step barely made it in time. Alice barely pulled Y/N back, who still got slashed by Quinella at the chest and losing a part of his arm." Gaaah...!!! " Kirito tried to attack her but she avoided it stepping back as well.
Alice got Y/N back to Eugeo and the Edith."Y/N!!!". He was losing alot of blood. They tried everything the could to save his life.
Meanwhile it was Kirito who faced Quinella now. "Do you really think that you can take me on?" she grinned.
"I can't stand here while Y/N risked everything. Its my turn now, get ready Quinell!"
