Chapter 14 Returning Home

Hey Guys it´s finally time for the last chapter of the Undying Swordsmen and after this go over to the Hunt for Yggdrasil and read the first Chapter to the Undying Swordsmens Sequel , yeah but before we start I have to answer to yet another stupid guest review who just keep annoying me this times topic was that Akuma is godlike because of his not dying factor , but as far as I have my story in my head , Akuma never once died in a fight only to log out or to save Sachi that one time when she fell over other than that , nothing happened and the only thing that hi respawning ability gives him is more responsibility and the chance to use the full capabilities of his class the Berserk , attack without caring for oneselves health and I now have ranted enough and so we go on and i have taken the floor designs from the game Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment because I decided that they would absolutely fit so here we go .

After motivating the Clearers to follow his lead the advanced to the next floor which was except for a bridge that was guarded by a strong looking field boss nothing out of the norm .

After sizing up the looks of the field boss they prepared a strategy and then rushed the boss , a huge Golem with two hammers and a spiked head , the shield users would rush forward when the golem prepared to strike and in the moment when the attack collided the dps dealer would attack him and then repeat he action until the field boss was defeated , after that they stormed the bridge and straight into the boss room , in which Skeletor the King of the Undead and Boss of floor 96 waited for them and the Group of Akuma could´ve sworn that he must have been a relative of the Fatal Scythe from his looks .

Skeletor looked exactly like the Fatal Scythe except that he was colored a dark gold and that something akin to a crown was standing out under his hood .

Seeing their chance for a little rematch instead of coordinating the attack they told the group of cleares to stand back and to let them handle this one .

Yui would slow down the bosses movement to a snails pace while Asuna would use her Zap step to confuse the boss , while Kirito and Akuma would be lifted into the air by Pina and Silica to then drop down and to unleash their most damaging combos on him .

The plan worked perfectly and robbed the boss of two and a half of his health bars which meant that he was now in his yellow zone which meant that he wouldn´t change his attack pattern just now but they were wrong .

Skeletor gripped his cloak and ripped it of him and now his crown was seeable and in it´s mid was a blue gem which begun to shine and then Skeletor begun to move in his normal pace again and Yui tried to slow him down again but it didn´t work and so this time akuma had to hold the boss in place and kirito had to fall back to not take any damage though to the speed of the boss .

Yui raised her speed up to match Asunas and then the two begun to attack the boss and not even a minute and a furious assault of a white and a purple light show later the boss exploded into polygons and the rest of the clearers were in awe at how strong the Aces of the Frontline really were and they nearly overheard the order to go to the next floor .

Floor 97 was build up of flying plattforms and small moving grounds between said plattforms and so Silica was given the job to scout out the area with Pina and so she flew of to do her job .

Silica returned after 10 minutes and reported that there would be enemy with the equipment to blast them of the connections between the plattforms waiting for them , but that the fastest of them would be able to evade them and that Yui might be able to help those that weren´t that fast and so a special troop leaded by Yui and Asuna was created with some of the fastest player in the game , their mission ,to remove the enemys guarding the passways between the plattforms .

With the troop at the front they were able to keep their normal pace and after twenty minutes and only 3 players lost , they reached the next boss room .

Floor 97s boss monster was a giant red knight with a two handed sword .

The players with the highest strength build would rush it and bring it to fall over on his back and then the other would attack as well and so the boss who strangely didn´t have a rage mode was defeated in not even 10 minutes .

Floor 98 consisted of 3 towers of which the middle one was sealed and seing as there were two left they divided into two groups , the first was lead by Akuma and silica while the second one would be lead by the Black Swordsmen , the white Flash and the purple Time Wonder .

Every tower consisted of 4 small floors and on the fourth they had to defeat a small miniboss but withe the numbers of players and their great commanders they had the minibosses fell easily .

After clearing the towers they were teleported to the starting point again and then they stormed the last tower and cleared the floors and even the boss in a great speed .

Floor 99 , when they arrived on it a voice was heard which told them that from now on there would be no more going back and that until they defeated the final boss they would not be able to go back anymore and that now would be their last chance to go back .

Not one caved in and went back no they stayed strong and went forward and all of them were teleported and they stood infront of the Ruler of Land Reborn , seeing as it was the same mob that Silica and Akuma had allready defeated once they gave the perfect orders how to defeat him and once that happened the next in the row spawned the lord of water reborn but he two was dispatched easily , the last that came was Reiza the lord of thunder reborn and man did he curse when he noticed the two that had defeated him and crossed through his plans to become the ruler of the sky , he was a harder enemy do to the fact that Silica and pina had to drag him down to the ground every time before the clearers could deal any damage to him .

After defeating him they were then teleported infront of a great door and akuma explained that this would have to be the entrace to the final fight and Heathcliffs domain .

After all were healed up and prepared to fight they then opened the door and entered the giant thronroom who was completely dark and after everyone had stepped in the door closed and the light went on .

There on the thron sat Heathcliff and once he saw them he stood up an went down the short stair to be on even ground with them .

" You are finally here , congratulations but i fear that I will only fight with the Aces so you guys will have to take a short outtime . " he said and with a wave of his hand a transparent barrier surrounded the Aces and Heathcliff who then spoke up again .

" Well shall we start then . " he said and transformed into the form that he first appeared as.

The big appaerence that was cloaked in red with a same coloured hood and a black face looked down on them and spoke , " let the battle that decides the destiny of all players trapped inside of here begin .

Everyone was ready , Akuma clad in his Iron warrior equipment , Yui in her Time Warrior equipment , Pina in his biggest form with Silica on his back Dagger drawn , Asuna ready to teleport at a moments notice and Kirito ready to unleash one devastating combo after another and so it begun .

Asuna attacked from Pina out by teleporting on his shoulders and then stabbing his head , Yui using her Time warrior was running up the figure of Heathcliff all the while dragging the edge of her blade through his body , Kirito was unleashing Starburst Stream after Stream on Heathcliffs back , Silica was throwing needles in the black of the figures hood and Akuma was fending of every strike that Heathcliffs giant appearance would unleash on the Aces and when it was finally time to land the last hit all of the Aces of the front lines stepped on Pinas back and thanks to the Raiju Fangs paralysis buff Heathcliff had to helplessly watch as Kirito, Asuna, Silica, Yui and Akuma jumped down simultaneously and with on clean cut , dragged 5 deep red lines down his front and with the words of " Congratulations for beating the game and me . " he shattered into polygons .

" We finally did it we are free . " Asuna shouted in Glee .

" Yeah we did it Onii-chan . " cheered Silica and jumped at her surrogate brothe to hug him .

" Hey guys how about we meet up after we are all out of here so that we can be freinds in the real life and as a demonstration I will start and then I will go I have to greet you two after all when you go out so here is my name , Akuma Heremori nice to meet you , " and with those words he disappeared to went over to the hospital where he had Kirito and Silica brought over so that they could recieve perfect healt keeping treatment and so that they would be in the same room so that he could greet them .

" I am Asuna Yuki nice to meet you . " Asuna said .

" Keiko Ayano , it really was fun . " Silica answered .

" I am Kazuto Kirigaya and I look forward to meeting you again . " Kirito said .

" Yui Kirigaya , I hope I will see you again one time ,. " Yui said and recieved a strange look from Kirito and Asuna , " or is Yui Yuki better I mean I have to have one of your surnames after all right I am your child , or am I not anymore . " to this Yui made a slight sobbing sound .

" It´s ok Yui I was just confused after all , and i really hope we will meet again . " Kirito said with a small smile and then one after another of them was enveloped in the logging out light , Yui was to but they didn´t notice and so after 2 years and 2 months the game was finally cleared and the floating castle of Aincrad collapsed .

Real World Hospital 10 minutes away from Akumas house

The first thing Kazuto and Keiko noticed was that they were able to move better then they had suspected after all they were inside the game for over 2 years and the second thing they noticed was that Akuma was sitting in a Seat right on the other side of the wall and that he was smilling at them and pressing a small red button and after having a short talk , Kazuto and keikos family bursted into the room and begun to welcome their respective family members back and after a short thanks to Akuma and after said person had wished them good bye , Akuma left the hospital to do two things to pick up Shino and to then make his way back to his house to finally relax after they had finally completed the death game and to finally behave like a really bofriend towards Shino and to introduce her to his newest charge .

And done and with this the Story of The Undying Swordsmen is completed but don´t be sad the sequel Hunt for Yggdrasil which will feature the ALO Arc of Sword Art Online is already up with its first chapter and I hope you will like it and with this said .
