I Will Rewrite Your Fate

"...You can still laugh."

Tears kept falling from Asuna's cheeks: "But I can't laugh at all."

The pain caused by the broken arm almost fainted Asuna. But compared to the arm, the emotion that had been suppressed by reason during the battle, and the emotion that broke out at this moment, was the real reason for Asuna's tears.

She killed her friend by herself.

Namu, Media, those aunts who had taken care of themselves...At this moment, they all turned into corpses and fell on this tragic battlefield. Now, even the first friend I made when I came to this continent of Arad was pierced through my throat.

"I'm sorry, Asuna." Ajialu smiled softly: "But, it's up to you to end all this, not those adventurers who claim to be righteous. I think from the bottom of my heart, this is really great. ....."

From his space bag, he took out a bottle of quite advanced healing potion. At first, Ajialu wanted to hand it to Asuna, but the weakness that appeared from the depths of her soul made her unable to do such an action.

"Master Di Ruiji...give me more...give me a little more time. It only takes a few minutes, that's enough..."

"......"

Naturally, there was no sound to respond to the girl's plea. But a little magic power suddenly appeared in the body, it means that someone did hear this prayer.

"Thank you, Lord DiRigi..."

Without wasting this precious time, Ajialu stuffed the advanced healing potion into Asuna's hands.

"My time is running out, Asuna. You deal with your injury first, and then listen to me."

"Ajialu, you..."

"hurry up."

"............"

Asuna loosely grasped the arm of the knife handle, took the healing potion and drank it. Then he took out various things from his own space bag and began to bandage the wound for himself.

For the earth, a broken arm is a life-long thing. But on the Arad continent, it was an injury that was taken for granted. Save your original body and go to the priesthood church to pay a treatment fee.

Coupled with Paris's teachings, Asuna and others generally have a complete set of these things. They have also received a request to preserve the limbs and internal organs of fresh monsters.

In the space bag, there are naturally preserved magic items.

Although Asuna's right arm had been petrified, it shouldn't be necessary to keep alive. However, petrochemicals are also divided into categories. The petrochemicals of Media and the petrochemicals of the petrochemical magic eye can't be the same.

The latter is the level of turning organic matter into inorganic matter. The former is just an extra layer of dried cement on the skin.

In addition, Asuna's own resistance to abnormal conditions is high enough, so the inside of Petrified's right arm is still alive. As long as he is treated by the Paladin in time, he will be able to fully recover within a few days.

Seeing the girl begin to deal with her injury, A Jialu also relieved her heart. For her who has turned into a necromancer, the penetration of her throat does not affect her speech. The destruction of the three gems was the real cause of her death.

"Master Di Ruiji was originally the apostle who was sleeping in the desert of the demon world. However, because of the conspiracy of the second apostle Herder, the master was transferred to this world."

"........."

Hearing Ajialu's words, Asuna's movements stopped, and she continued to bandage herself.

"Herder's purpose should be to kill adults with human hands, but after killing Lord Dirigi, it will cause irreversible bad changes to the continent of Arad. In other words, as long as the apostle dies, it will inevitably happen. Cause this impact on the Arad continent."

"Plus, Lord Di Ruiji at this time is in an unprecedented period of weakness.""Because of the injury caused by traveling through the different dimensions unpreparedly, coupled with the adult is trying his best to reduce his influence and prevent the virus from spreading, he now has only the strength of the mid-period awakening."

"And the second apostle Herder will never miss the unprecedented period of weakness of Lord Dirich. I am afraid that Asuna and your friends have been selected by Herder to kill Lord Dirich. That knife."

"Under Herder's long-planned conspiracy, neither you, Asuna, nor me, even as powerful as Lord Dirigi, can do nothing. But Asuna, you must do something!"

"Never, let Herder's plan succeed! You have to be knives, you have to be the knives of your own will!"

"With... the knife of your own will..."

"Yes."

A Jialu's figure has become more and more illusory, but strangely, there is a little green in the loess beneath her.

"Sometimes, killing does not mean death. As long as Lord DiRigi does not really die, then everything still has a chance to reverse."

"I have a hunch, as long as Asuna, you follow this path... Then, you will definitely be able to meet the people you want to meet."

"This is my hunch and my blessing."

"Then, goodbye... my friend."

"..."

The breeze blew over the village that had completely turned into a dead silence, and beside the cold blade, a cluster of green grass swayed from side to side.

Asuna was silent, stood up, drew her weapon from the ground and put it in her sheath. In silence, he received his right arm not far away in the special magic props, and looked at the direction of the rapid footsteps.

Finally, he gently placed it beside the green grass with his left hand. Feel the softness of the grass blades constantly touching the palm of your hand under the breeze.

"Thank you my friend."

——————————

"This... is already the fourth day."

Looking at the closed door, Silica's eyes flashed a little worry. Hearing the girl's words, the sound of iron strikes in the blacksmith's shop became more urgent. With the last heavy hammer falling, Liz walked out silently.

In his hand, he held a knight's thin sword exuding cold but with a teardrop-like red mark on the knife.

After that bloody battle, Asuna's weapon: the withered leaf knife of the water demon Jie Ling has been in a half-damaged state. So Liz simply returned it to the furnace and added various materials to recast and upgrade it.

The weapon was forged yesterday. But after Asuna cured her injury and connected her arm, she kept herself in the room with a sentence of ‘Everyone, let me stay alone for a while.’

It's a lot of peace of mind to eat this meal on time. If you are willing to eat, it means you haven't given up on yourself.

But in these four days, no one saw Asuna.

Everyone was very worried about her, but they couldn't say any words of comfort or persuasion.

Liz, who had not participated in the battle on the spot, had no way to say. It took so long to arrive, but the scene that saw Kirito and the others was a girl with one arm cut off, let alone.

"I am still too weak!"

Not only in strength, but also mentally and psychologically.

Yes, if you really want to blame, you can only blame this. Therefore, in addition to Silica and Liz, who is a non-combatant, Kirito, Lifa, Klein, and Yuuki all lived in G.S.D for higher-level training.

Lan also returned to the West Blue shore and accepted Shalan's guidance.

This kind of thing must never happen again. To avoid this, they need to become stronger.

At least, you have to stand on the starting line.

The one named Awakening is above the starting line.

"........."

Liz looked at the weapon in her hand, and then at Asuna's closed door. He stomped and returned to the forge again. Silica also suppressed the worry and entered the training again.

Worrying here will have no effect at all.

In the room, Asuna sat at the table, her hands propped her head in silence.

She knew that friends outside were worried about her, thinking that she might have been hurt a lot in her heart. Asuna did not deny this. In fact, she spends most of her time dealing with her feelings in this area.

But she also understands that now is not the time for herself to be immersed in sentimentality and pain. You must think clearly about the last message A Jialu left to yourself, and make a plan.

Because she was with her companions, she could not contact Yui and the others casually.

So she can only rely on her own analysis and layout.

The most valuable of all Ajialu's intelligence is that sentence: Become a knife with one's own consciousness.

According to the information obtained so far, the summary is that their group of players who came from the earth are the knives that Herder used to kill the apostles.

Without knowing why, Herder chose his players as the vanguard. Therefore, she would definitely pay a lot of attention to her own people, which caused her to not be able to contact Yui on the other side of the earth casually.

Judging from their current situation, there are no more than three choices.

One is to refuse to be this knife. The result that can be obtained is either to be liquidated by Herder or forced to be the knife.

This is the same as a weapon, if it is blunt or broken, it is either re-sharpened and sharp, or just lost it and buy a new one. Does the disobedient knife have any meaning?

The other is to think about nothing and be the knife obediently. Where Held wants to wait for others to chop, they will chop wherever they go. Finally, pray that the planned success, Herder will show compassion to send them back, or the successful planned Xie Ming will send them back.

Place all hopes on the kindness of the enemy, or Xie Ming. Same as in SAO...

The last one is to become a conscious knife just like A Jialu said.

Since you can't be the knife, it's better to fight for more initiative. As a knife, they may not be able to control who should be stabbed, but perhaps they can control the position of the stabbing.

"Apostle, it's not that easy to die."

Until now, Asuna had no way to understand what kind of existence the apostle was. But the influence of Di Ruiji is enough to see how terrifying a creature this is.

Just being transferred to this continent was just a remnant of prestige, and all the surrounding areas including Nosmar were turned to death.

Even if he is seriously injured, even if he controls his strength, he still has the strength above awakening.

Herder actually planned to let them crusade against such a terrifying creature.

But from Ajialu's words, Asuna noticed another message. The apostle is not an incommunicable monster. They understand who they are being victimized and why they have fallen to this point.

They don't want to die, and they can't die. However, this can't help them.

unless.....

"With the cooperation of our knife."What A Jialu said may not be what she wanted to say. How could she, a small village chief in a remote village, know so much? These words must be the message that the apostle Di Ruiji wanted to convey to them, or to her, through Ajialu's mouth.

Why is it yourself, and what is the difference between yourself and other players?

The relationship with Ajialu? Maybe there are, but this is definitely not decisive, making the apostle willing to risk being ‘killed’.

"I was discovered, the connection between myself and the earth?"

No, it's impossible.

If DiRigi could find out, then there was no reason Helder wouldn't find out. If Held could find out, how could she still keep herself till now?

"No... the more you think about it, the more you don't understand."

But not understanding what is going on behind it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand what she should do now.

Go to DiRigi, and go, ‘kill’ it! Go ‘kill’ more apostles!

Standing up from her seat, Asuna pushed open the door. Seeing Silica and Liz's worried gaze, she forced a smile.

"Sorry, I worried you."

"Asuna..."

"Really."

Liz came over with the rapier, stuffed it into Asuna's arms, and said viciously, "Hey, give you a re-forged weapon. You can choose a name for yourself."

"........Yes."

In the setting sun, the silver-blue sword body was dyed blood red. Even so, the red mark like tears is still eye-catching.

"Tears of Muxia, just call it that way."

Asuna said softly, stroking the traces of her tears.

"The tears of Muxia...Isn't that good." Watching Asuna put the rapier into the sheath, Liz approached and hugged Asuna hard: "You fool!"

"What do you want to tell me...we are not friends!?"

"Um... sorry, Liz."

Asuna gently stroked Liz's hair and looked at Silica with tears in the corner of her eyes, smiling softly, but tears couldn't help running in her eyes.

"Sorry, sorry..."

"Asuna!!!"

In an instant, the three girls hugged each other, with their foreheads against their foreheads, and tears continued to drip on the slate ground.

It seems to be the same as wanting to release all the pain and sorrow so far.

No matter how strong they are, they are just high school girls. Fighting monsters, completing commissions, killing people, and even killing their own friends with their own hands, these shouldn't be things they should experience.

But facing these, they must be strong and must face it. But... at least give them some time to release their emotions...

Outside the wall of the yard, Paris threw the dagger in her hand, scaring away curious passers-by with fierce eyes. In my heart, he sighed silently.

"After all, it's Missy..."

However, she hoped for the first time that the girls inside would not lose such feelings. In this way, she had already abandoned the weak feelings.
