[00:20] Kirito
    System Call. Generate Luminous Element.
[00:29] Eugeo
    Amazing... these are all weapons?
[00:32] Kirito
    Let's go. We have to find our swords.
[00:36] Eugeo
    Here they are!
[00:52] Kirito
    How long are you going to stand there in awe?
[00:56] Eugeo
    I couldn't help it.
[00:58] Eugeo
    Hey, Kirito.
[01:00] Eugeo
    Do you think the Church is planning
    to build its own army someday?
[01:03] Eugeo
    The Integrity Knights alone should be enough.
[01:07] Kirito
    It's the opposite. They're not building an army.
[01:10] Kirito
    The Church gathered all these weapons here
    to make creating one impossible.
[01:14] Eugeo
    What does that mean?
[01:16] Kirito
    In other words, I'm saying the person
    who has the least faith in the Church's authority
[01:19] Kirito
    might be the pontifex herself.
[01:24] Kirito
    Come on, we don't have time.
[01:26] Kirito
    Let's get out of here.
[01:28] Eugeo
    Uh, yeah. You're right.
[01:32] Eugeo
    What do you think, Kirito?
    Should we borrow some armor, too?
[01:36] Kirito
    Well, we've never worn armor before.
[01:39] Kirito
    We should stick to what we know.
[01:42] Kirito
    Let's help ourselves to those clothes over there.
SIGN    The Crimson Knight
[03:49] Kirito
    Burst Element!
[03:56] Kirito
    Straight ahead!
[03:59] Deusolbert
    Such absurd antics.
[04:18] Eugeo
    Kirito! You okay?
[04:23] Kirito
    B-Barely.
[04:25] Kirito
    I'm okay this time.
[04:35] Eugeo
    Let's go.
[04:36] Deusolbert
    System Call.
[04:45] Kirito
    This is bad. That's not an elemental command.
    It's the Perfect Weapon Control art!
[04:51] Deusolbert
    Enhance Armament.
[05:15] Kirito
    That's amazing.
    I wonder what that bow's source is?
[05:20] Eugeo
    This is no time to be impressed!
[05:23] Deusolbert
    It's been two years since I was last engulfed
    by the Conflagration Bow.
[05:28] Deusolbert
    I see.
[05:29] Deusolbert
    You criminals do indeed have the skills
    to contend with Sir Eldrie Thirty-one.
[05:35] Deusolbert
    But that makes it all the more unforgivable.
[05:39] Deusolbert
    That instead of fighting
    as a proper knight should,
[05:41] Deusolbert
    you resorted to the vile dark arts
    to lead Thirty-one astray!
[05:46] Kirito
    D-Dark arts?
[05:48] Eugeo
    Y-You're wrong! We just talked about Mr. Eldrie's life
    before he became an Integrity Knight!
[05:53] Deusolbert
    Before he became a Knight?
[05:55] Deusolbert
    None of us has a past.
[05:58] Deusolbert
    From the moment we were summoned here
    from the heavens,
[06:01] Deusolbert
    we have always been glorious Integrity Knights!
[06:06] Deusolbert
    I've been ordered to capture you alive,
    so I won't reduce you to cinders.
[06:11] Deusolbert
    But now that I've unleashed the Conflagration Bow,
    prepare for at least one of your arms to be burned off.
[06:27] Kirito
    It doesn't matter if he's out of arrows
    or his bowstring's broken, huh?
[06:30] Eugeo
    Any ideas?
[06:32] Kirito
    I have to believe that he can't fire rapidly.
[06:35] Kirito
    I'll somehow block his first shot,
    so you charge in.
[06:38] Eugeo
    Have to believe?
[06:49] Eugeo
    Got it!
[07:04] Kirito
    System Call! Generate Cryogenic Element!
[07:10] Kirito
    Discharge!
[07:14] Deusolbert
    Ludicrous!
[08:09] Eugeo
    Kirito!
[08:13] Kirito
    Keep going, Eugeo!
[08:24] Deusolbert
    Don't insult me, boy!
[08:31] Eugeo
    What now?
[08:33] Kirito
    In this world, the important thing
    is what you infuse your sword with.
[08:38] Eugeo
    I wonder what I should infuse my sword with?
[08:41] Kirito
    That's something you need to find on your own.
[08:56] Eugeo
    Right. That's all that matters.
[08:59] Eugeo
    I'm definitely going to rescue Alice this time. So...
[09:03] Eugeo
    Please, Blue Rose Sword!
[09:05] Eugeo
    Lend me your strength!
[09:07] Eugeo
    I have to move forward!
[09:36] Eugeo
    You...
[09:37] Eugeo
    ...ever since the world's creation,
[09:40] Eugeo
    were forged by the bitter cold blizzards
    at the top of the End Mountains.
[09:46] Eugeo
    Don't let these pathetic flames...
[09:50] Eugeo
    ...defeat you!
[10:15] Eugeo
    You're not getting away!
[11:12] Deusolbert
    Boy, what's the name
    of that first secret skill you used?
[11:18] Eugeo
    The Aincrad-style two-hit strike sword skill,
    Vertical Arc.
[11:22] Deusolbert
    A two-hit strike attack...
[11:26] Deusolbert
    And you?
[11:28] Deusolbert
    What skill did you use?
[11:29] Eugeo
    Kirito! Are you hurt?
[11:31] Kirito
    I'm okay.
[11:32] Kirito
    I mostly healed the worst burns.
[11:35] Kirito
    Old man knight, that was the Aincrad-style
    defensive skill, Spinning Shield.
[11:44] Deusolbert
    From one end of the realm of humanity
    to the other...
[11:47] Deusolbert
    I was sure that I'd seen past that.
[11:51] Deusolbert
    But in this world, there are still swords I've never seen,
    skills I've never encountered, eh?
[11:58] Deusolbert
    Your skills were suffused
    with the weight of years of earnest training.
[12:05] Deusolbert
    I accused you of using vile arts to lead Sir Eldrie astray,
    but I was mistaken.
[12:15] Deusolbert
    Please tell me your names.
[12:18] Eugeo
    Eugeo the Swordsman. No family name.
[12:21] Kirito
    I'm Kirito the Swordsman.
[12:25] Deusolbert
    On the fiftieth floor of the cathedral,
[12:28] Deusolbert
    in the Great Hall of Ghostly Light,
    there are several Integrity Knights awaiting you.
[12:35] Deusolbert
    They've been ordered not to take you alive,
    but to extinguish your lives.
[12:41] Deusolbert
    If you charge them head-on like you just did,
[12:44] Deusolbert
    your lives will be snuffed out in an instant.
[12:48] Kirito
    H-Hey, old man. Is it okay for you to tell us that?
[12:53] Deusolbert
    As I've failed to carry out Administrator's order,
[12:58] Deusolbert
    I will be stripped of my armor and Divine Object,
    the proof of my knighthood,
[13:03] Deusolbert
    and will be frozen indefinitely.
[13:06] Deusolbert
    So before I submit to such shame,
    I want you two...
[13:12] Deusolbert
    ...to take my life.
[13:16] Deusolbert
    No need to hesitate.
[13:18] Deusolbert
    After all, it was your splendid sword skills
    that defeated me.
[13:24] Deusolbert
    Me... Integrity Knight Deusolbert Synthesis Seven.
[13:38] Eugeo
    Deusol... bert?
[13:45] Kirito
    Eugeo?
[13:47] Eugeo
    So you're... from back then...
[13:59] Eugeo
    You're telling me to take your life?
[14:04] Eugeo
    You say it was a splendid battle?
[14:08] Eugeo
    She was just...
[14:10] Eugeo
    She was just an eleven-year-old girl,
    and you bound her with chains!
[14:13] Eugeo
    You suspended her from your dragon
    and took her away...
[14:17] Eugeo
    ...so don't say that, after everything you've done!
[14:34] Eugeo
    Why are you stopping me, Kirito?
[14:38] Kirito
    That old man doesn't intend to fight anymore.
[14:41] Kirito
    You can't raise your sword
    against someone like that.
[14:46] Eugeo
    He... he's the one who took Alice away!
[15:02] Kirito
    I'm pretty sure the old man doesn't remember.
    About taking your Alice away from Rulid Village.
[15:11] Kirito
    He hasn't forgotten, his memory's been erased.
[15:21] Deusolbert
    It's as the black-haired boy says.
[15:26] Deusolbert
    I apprehended a young girl
    and took her away with my dragon?
[15:32] Deusolbert
    I don't remember doing such a thing.
[15:35] Eugeo
    You don't remember?
[15:37] Eugeo
    It was only eight years ago.
[15:39] Kirito
    Old man... I mean, Sir Deusolbert.
[15:43] Kirito
    You were the Integrity Knight in charge of guarding
    the northern border of Norlangarth.
[15:48] Kirito
    That's true, right?
[15:49] Deusolbert
    Indeed. I oversaw Norlangarth's
    northern border in District Seven.
[15:56] Deusolbert
    Yes... until eight years ago.
[16:00] Deusolbert
    At that time, due to a great feat,
[16:04] Deusolbert
    I was awarded the duty of guarding
    the Central Cathedral, as well as this armor.
[16:10] Kirito
    Do you remember what that feat was?
[16:15] Kirito
    I'll tell you what it was.
[16:17] Kirito
    Your feat was discovering
    Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty.
[16:23] Kirito
    Administrator gave you credit
    for bringing Alice to this tower,
[16:27] Kirito
    but she also had to erase your memories
    of that incident.
[16:33] Kirito
    Integrity Knights have no past.
[16:35] Kirito
    That's because they've been summoned
    from the heavens.
[16:39] Kirito
    Or so you said.
[16:41] Kirito
    The pontifex must've told you that
    right after you awoke as a knight.
[16:46] Kirito
    To convince you that was why
    you couldn't remember anything
[16:49] Kirito
    from before you became an Integrity Knight.
[16:53] Kirito
    But to get you to accept that story,
[16:55] Kirito
    it wasn't just your memories of being a human,
[17:00] Kirito
    but also your memories of any other knight's creation
    that had to be erased.
[17:06] Kirito
    Because there'd be chaos if a sinner you brought here
    showed up the next day as a fellow knight.
[17:13] Deusolbert
    I don't remember anything.
[17:16] Kirito
    Your precious memories were seized
    by Administrator,
[17:19] Kirito
    and instead embedded fealty to the Church in you,
    turning you into an Integrity Knight.
[17:26] Kirito
    You're a human, just like us.
[17:28] Deusolbert
    Me? A resident of the realm of humanity
    like yourselves?
[17:33] Deusolbert
    My memories, manipulated? Unbelievable.
[17:37] Deusolbert
    To think that the pontifex
    would cast such a spell on me.
[17:43] Kirito
    But it's the truth.
[17:45] Kirito
    There has to be something still in your mind.
[17:49] Kirito
    Something like a precious memory
    no art can completely erase
[17:55] Deusolbert
    Ever since I descended to the realm of humanity,
    I keep having the same dream.
[18:00] Deusolbert
    A small hand shaking me awake,
[18:03] Deusolbert
    and the silver ring worn on its finger.
[18:13] Deusolbert
    But when I wake up, no one's there.
[18:19] Kirito
    Administrator stole your memory
    of the owner of that hand and ring.
[18:26] Kirito
    You decide what you're going to do next.
[18:30] Kirito
    Go back to Administrator
    and accept your punishment,
[18:33] Kirito
    heal your wounds and come after us,
[18:36] Kirito
    or...
[19:10] Kirito
    We've been climbing for a while,
    so how far up are we now?
[19:13] Eugeo
    The next floor is the twenty-ninth.
[19:15] Eugeo
    Another half hour of climbing
    and I think we'll reach the fiftieth floor he mentioned.
[19:20] Eugeo
    Are we going to charge straight in?
[19:25] Kirito
    Well...
[19:29] Eugeo
    Where'd those come from?
[19:38] Kirito
    Based on the battle with that old man,
    they're not used to combo moves.
[19:44] Kirito
    More like they have almost no experience.
[19:47] Kirito
    I'd like to think we have a chance
    if we can get into one-on-one close combat.
[19:51] Kirito
    But not only are we up against multiple enemies,
    they're also waiting for us fully prepared.
[19:57] Eugeo
    Then should we look for another route,
    instead of going straight in?
[20:02] Kirito
    I don't know about that.
[20:04] Kirito
    Cardinal made it clear
    that these stairs were the only way.
[20:09] Kirito
    And even if we did find a shortcut,
    we could still get caught in a pincer attack later on.
[20:14] Kirito
    I'd rather take out the knights on the fiftieth floor,
    even if we have to use the ace up our sleeve.
[20:18] Eugeo
    Right. The Perfect Weapon Control art.
[20:21] Kirito
    Yeah. Maybe the instant we charge
    onto the fiftieth floor,
[20:24] Kirito
    we can strike first with the Perfect Weapon Control art
    and neutralize as many knights as we can.
[20:30] Eugeo
    Uh, about that...
[20:33] Eugeo
    My Perfect Weapon Control art isn't a direct attack
    like that Integrity Knight's.
[20:41] Kirito
    R-Really?
[20:43] Eugeo
    Well, Cardinal wrote the command for me, so...
[20:47] Eugeo
    I mean, I was the one who imagined
    what kind of technique it should be...
[20:51] Kirito
    Well, let me take a look at the command.
[20:54] Eugeo
    O-Okay.
[21:00] Kirito
    I see. You're right,
    I wouldn't exactly say it's for offense,
[21:04] Kirito
    but depending on its use, it'll come in handy.
[21:08] Kirito
    And it seems like it'll be compatible
    with my Perfect Weapon Control art.
[21:11] Eugeo
    Really? What's your skill like?
[21:14] Kirito
    You'll have to wait and see.
[21:22] Eugeo
    Okay, should we...
[21:37] Kirito
    You two... who are you?
[21:50] Eugeo
    Th-They're kids?
[23:36] Kirito
    Next time: The Relentless Knight.
