Accel World Vol 2 Chapter 6 (2/2)

At the saly kicked the ground to fly up However

Froround tires extended up like snakes and wrapped around Haruyuki’s feet

He was pulled back all at once, and hit the ground hard Even out of breath from the shock, Haruyuki tried to cut the wires with his knife But

“«Electric Therapy»!!”

“!!”

With so all of Haruyuki’s body, and at the sa around, he saw afrom both ar sparks

It seeed much at all, but with his body not under his control, Haruyuki could not shake loose the wires around his feet

“Gu u!”

Haruyuki groaned, and he was showered by the electric avatar’s high pitched laughter

“Kihihihihi! Just sleep there for a while, brat! Till the Red King’s whole body is stripped apart!!”

Like those words said, he could seetowards Niko’s fortress type avatar They close in from her main cannons’ blind spots and started to shower her enhanced are sparks flew, bolts were knocked apart, and the thick armor was stripped off one by one

Haruyuki desperately resisted the electricity paralyzing his whole body and turned his body around, trying to craards the electric avatar

However the sparks did not seee his head’s direction

‘- What should I do What should I do What should I do at this time, senpai’

‘- Hurry if I don’t hurry, then Niko!’

Sounds of despair appeared in his head, at that tihter loudly echo

“Hahaha! Hahahahahaha!!”

It was the Yellow King, Yellow Radio His slender and long body with the two horn hat swaying, showing joy with pantomime actions

“Ho unsightly! Cole fragment of that!? After all, you two don’t have the qualifications to be a King, that is what it means! The Red is an upstart fake! And the Black, is a despicable traitor right!?”

The relentless insults, was overlap by ‘Gishi+ gishi+’ irl’s small painful sounds too

“A a”

He looked that way, and saw a large close co on Scarlet Rain’sher left main cannon

He used his whole body to pull the huge cannon up From the joints a lot of flame like sparks came out, that looked almost like fresh blood

Eventually, with a ‘Bikin’ sudden sharp breaking sound, the main cannon was pulled off

Linked to that, without a doubt, was Niko’s broken left ar down With Niko’s unsuppressed screah in a victory pose and roared at the same time

“All right! The Red King is just like this! You guys, strip off all her skin and yank that kid out!! Till right before her gauge run out, give her plenty of humiliation!!”

Haruyuki grounded his inner teeth till they alht hand desperately clawed the ground

In front of that, was a dust covered black lotus avatar laying flat there with eyes fully lost all light

“Senpai senpai”

Haruyuki pushed out a raspy sound from his throat paralyzed by the stun effect

Behind hi weapons continued to sound as they fired While feeling the vibration from empty explosions, Haruyuki still shouted

“You you are okay with this? This way of finishi+ng, is your ga?”

In his brain, fro while holding each other appeared lightly

What that scene represent, and what the two girls truly wish for, Haruyuki could not conjecture But, the one thing he was sure is, soon everything will end The slight bond born out of chance in one night, will be cruelly broken apart

“Senpai Black King!!”

Haruyuki used the rest of his strength and screamed

Right now, the wound Kuroyukihie size that Haruyuki could not fatho - a comrade, and friend, while he was excited, he was betrayed and forever retired from the accelerated world, Kuroyukihi time for that action

No, maybe «Red Rider» and her, were more than just comrade or friends That kind of opponent, that person was put down by her hand

But

Even if that was true

“What is «Accelerate» to you! And «Brain Burst»!!”

Hitting the ground with his fist surrounded by sparks, Haruyuki roared with passion

“Going to level 10 that has never been reached before, your a to see what’s ahead in this world is just to this degree? Is it so cheap as to exchange for the memory of just onetired down by past regrets, how long are you planning to be this unsightly! You don’t have the free tih all kind of obstacles, e forward as the last person, isn’t that right, Black Lotus!!”

‘Rin’

In front of his thrown out right hand, was it an illusion that he saw the deep black sharp part waver?

No, that’s wrong Inside the sharp forhts shone Weak like glowing embers of soul, beat with ‘thump thump’

“Sen pa”

Haruyuki quietly said

‘Bun!’ kind of strong vibration sound overlapped that

That, was under the goggles, the sound of two eyes strongly shi+ning

In the half transparent ar froht filled the her whole body, reviving its dull reflection

Finally, the sword arly vibrated

To the lightly rising, as if pulled by invisible strings, deep black avatar, Haruyuki watched without blinking as his throat clogged up

Black Lotus who stood straight up, with the tip of her feet slightly floating above ground, slowly began to hover and ht by electric shocks, and stopped still

“Haruyuki-kun”

The sound that echoed was kind and strict like usual

“Yes”

Hearing his groaning reply, she murmured with her familiar wry smile mixed sound

“That is the way you said it earlier, it was like Rider and I were lovers”

“Is is that wrong?”

“Absolutely wrong You areare you planning to lie there, try sticking a hand into the ground”

“Huh o okay”

As told, Haruyuki lined up his sharp fingers, and stuck theround near him

At thathis whole body slowly flow into the ground, and Haruyuki shouted in realization

“I I see, earth”

“If you think about the skill’s affinity and feature, you should be able to counter even if seen for first tis to teach you”

Right after, he heard a ‘Pusun’ kind of pathetic sound from behind, and Haruyuki turned his head to look

He saw the electric avatar slowly backing off while white smoke came from the transformer on his back

“You should be able to handle the rest yourself - I have to go look after the little girl that fell into a trap”

She said that casually

With a ‘Bunn’ air vibration, the deep black avatar disappeared

Without a single preparation, that was a fearsome speed dash Kuroyukihime ent forward like a dark color beam for a few tens of meters, the next mo directly on Niko

“Uooo”

After that surprised yell leaked out, the eneo, and opened both hands with strangely strong fingers trying to dance with Kuroyukihith to pull off Niko’s main cannon, instead of a blunt attack type, it must be a hold skill type duel avatar

Against that, not sure what she is thinking of, Kuroyukihirab it’ The enely, and his snake like extended hands held Black Lotus’ arm in two places

“Got you, «Oneway Sl»”

With the shouting of the skill na on his right shoulder, going into a judo throw posture - at that instant, sos dropped down

Ten fat curved cylinders Fingers The ene Kuroyukihith, and they were cut by the sharp edge

“Sorry, hold type skills do not work on me”

Kuroyukihime said that to the eneht aro

Froht passed through Then the ene 70 of the body fell to the ground

“Aaa ga gaaaaa!!”

He see so did not disappear, however just disappearingin the pain of body being cut apart, and his reround, Kuroyukihi 7 or 8 enee type avatars

“I a withbody parts”

The tone was cal in it made everyone in the battle field breathless

“You can not say that you don’t want to now!”

With that loud shout, the black raptor like avatar attacked an unlucky guy that she set her eyes on High pitchedBurst Linkers’ cries of desperation soon filled the air

After deter that he could leave that place to her for a while, Haruyuki turned towards the electric avatar that still had the wires around him

When their eyes met, the enemy turned his old fashi+oned instrument-like face away and raised a hand

“Hey, wait a ht now”

“Like I would wait!!”

Haruyuki shouted, and grabbed the tires wrapped around his feet with both hands and released the it behind

“U, ua!”

With thebelow, he attained altitude, then while hovering started turning in circles

“Waa - Aaa - Aaa -”

With the high and low screa from the opponent, Haruyuki attained plenty of centripetal force then let go of the wires, and the heavy looking robot avatar flew south with tre sound sos

His own eyes were spinning as well, so he shook his head strongly to clear theht in his sights

That could no longer be called a «Duel», but a «Slaughter» probably

Most of the blue type close coht with their hand or foot, and some with hammer or sword like contact weapons That is for blue type couard, ai in the opponent

For Kuroyukihime - Black Lotus, with four sword limbs is a super close combat type as seen, but can take various attack actions

Cut, a slash forward type of action is matter of course, if the opponent block with fist or ar an opponent with a dash while swinging a leg up, that target will be cut apart Absolutely no contact allowed, everything that touches her gets cut apart, just like a «Black death water lily» -

The dance like battle shape was incredibly beautiful, and also full of very painful rejection

Within merely a minute or two, the enemy close coed, in sharp pain, rolling on the ground out of action

“Y you bitch!!”

The last ree build Burst Linker suddenly roared loudly He held up his thick long sword, and swung it down right at Kuroyukihime

Spectacular speed and ti like steel colored thick sword that came down, Kuroyukihime did not avoid it, but took it with two crossed sword arms

‘Kiiiiin!’ That ear splitting high frequency wave echoed pass Brilliant sparks came from the contact point, and the movement of both stopped

‘Screech screech’ like high pitch metallic sound continued to echo The silver and black swords, with every second ate into each other deeper

Which will eat into the other first, Haruyuki could not instantly deterhter type avatar, his Hannya[2] like mask twisted in a sneer

“Zann!”

At the saht below the sword, Kuroyukihiht in one instant

What fell without a sound, were the fighter’s head, and the huge sword’s upper part The head that rolled around with unbelieving eyes was pierced without ht pillar went up, and the eneurine and disappeared

Again, a few seconds of silence

What broke it was a short sound released froe of the crater

“Why”

With a flat sound that finally lost co, Yellow Radio said in a moan

“Why appear now, to interruptto hide in a basement somewhere for two years, why?”

In the clown’s laughing face, the up turned eyes were filled hite phosphorescent The dead branch like ar, and head swinging slowly left and right

Suddenly under the ht hand pointing straight at Kuroyukihiained mockery

“That otten? Froht now he, what he is doing and where Never to return to the accelerated world again I wonder if you remember the person who created the reason why that is? If it was ht then fine, but that kind of sneak attack right?”

‘Kuu, kuukuukuuku’

While hearing the laughter co up from that throat, Haruyuki shouted in his mind

‘- Don’t listen to it That guy want to take away your fighting spirit again’

However, to say that in actually words, Haruyuki could not do it For the Black King and the Yellow King, since the beginning of the accelerated world they have been training together, between the two that had been friends till an incident two years ago, he thought there is a history that not just anyone can cut into

Haruyuki slowly descended, and he landed behind Black Lotus as standing beside the half broken Scarlet Rain Inside his chest, he just strongly prayed that she would not lose

Suddenly -

Kuroyukihie that did not have a single scratch fro

The Black King started her smooth silky voice

“You are , Yellow Radio”

“Oh? What would that be? Don’t tell me that was not a cowardly sneak attack?”

“Not that You think that your head has the saht as Red Rider’s toI”

With a ‘Riin’ sound, she slashed her right hand horizontally, and Kuroyukihime said

“From the first time I met you, I disliked you a lot!”

The Yellow King’s upper body bended backwards

Kuroyukihilanced to the side then behind her and quickly called out

“Rain, your reht!? Crow, protect her!! - Let’s go!!”

And then, carving a line in the bottom of the crater, she started a fierce dash

“damn let me rest a bit more!”

It was Niko who cursed With her rerinding sounds, she pointed thee of the crater

While Kuroyukihi talked, Haruyuki was not just idly listening He used the few tens of second pause to find so to mess up Niko’s aim

‘- That guy!’

Haruyuki discovered a yellow type hiding behind a red type at the crater’s north side, and shouted in his chest The pods equipped on both shoulders were open, and froiving out light effects stuck out

After deter electronic wave attacks, Haruyuki fiercely kicked the ground

However, there is a full 30 e Even though Silver Crow is a speed type, he could not get there instantly, so the support red type has tie weapon

A slight chill ran down Haruyuki’s back Just like this, being aiun with no place to hide - this is truly the situation and reason why he had so low success rate these past feeeks

He could only dodge it

If he does not defeat that ja avatar, then Niko’s firepoill remain sealed If that is the case, then the ene red type avatar firepoill be concentrated on Kuroyukihi

Whether Haruyuki can avoid this one shot will probably determine the trend of this battle

The huge pressure made his hands and feet cold with paralysis His view narrowed, and only the gun barrel opening darkness expanded wide It’s no good, if he is like this then he cannot avoid it The bullet released by the still gun in the virtual training room, he could at most avoid 30 of them

‘- No This current situation, is different from that white room’

The reason is, that gun is held by an avatar With a brown ca, that’s a sniper type duel avatar Not the gun, look at that guy Try to see the action of when he is about to pull the trigger

Instantly, fro other than the eneot about the battlefield situation, opened both eyes, and just captured the shape of the ene the rifle

The back of the eneht shoulder lifted up a few ht hand shook -

‘There!’

- Right hand finger squeezed the trigger, and a blue white shone froun barrel

At that time, he had already leaned left

‘Shaaa!’ With that air vibration sound, a heat ray scratched by Haruyuki’s right chest and right shoulder going behind hi sensation and flew the last ten e type to dance with the indirect type behind

To the surprised electronic wave avatar, Haruyuki attacked both antennas with two hand knives After seeing the delicate equipment sht up

‘- Niko!’

Whether hiswas stopped, Scarlet Rain’s re weapons all spewed fire

Her right main cannon shot out a beam of heat, and left side missiles fell down, then the there was a mysterious curtain of flae Of course that one shot would not kill all of the ene at Black Lotus were silenced

In the moment of silence after the explosions, Kuroyukihime’s fierce roar echoed

“Radio!!”

Her right arm blade drew a deep black path

What was cut apart without a sound, and floated in the air, was Yellow Radio’s huge hat’s right side horn

“Lotus!!”

After the angry reply with not a single bit of banter up till now, the Yellow King took out a long and big baton like weapon fro The hit that caolden lines, Kuroyukihime used her left sword arhtly lit up both of them

Niko that was inter fire, Haruyuki landed on the long stabilizer extending fro on the western edge of the crater with half amazement

Kings, that is, level 9 Burst Linkers fighting each other, of course it was his first ti it

That, everyone in this place - including the two persons fighting - would probably say the sa

The current «Pure Color Seven Kings», aside from Niko, reached level 9 alo Then they found out about the cruel sudden death rule that is needed to reach level 10, and to avoid fights to the death, they started a round table conference

In that conference, the Black King, Black Lotus sneak attacked the first generation Red King, Red Rider and killed hi, that ti was hunted as a betrayer and she stayed hidden in Umesato middle school’s local net for about two years, and the other Kings signed no invasion treaties with each other and did not leave their own territory

That is why, for level 9s fighting each other nor of accelerated world, this is the first time

Haruyuki, and Niko too

And the reion ht with breaths held

‘- Fast!’

Haruyuki leaked that sound of awe in his chest

If he did not concentrate, then all he could see around the two fighting, were mysterious flashes that continued to bounce around The Black King’s four chain, and five chain continuous attacks, were i’s baton as he turned in high speed, while he looked for openings and used his long leg to kick That was blocked by Kuroyukihi the background

With the way to high power attacks continuing, radiating cracks started to appear fro about The space was filled with colorless pressure, and the lights shi+ning from both combatant's armor, also seem to increase in intensity

“It will be soon”

Niko murmured, and Haruyuki asked in reaction

“Wh, what?”

“Those two’s special attack gauge should be full The real battle will be starting”

Before that sentence finished, ‘Baan!’ that one impact sound exploded, and pushed by that those two distanced themselves from each other

They soon closed up, Kuroyukihime slowly lowered her waist, left arht sword ar blades pulsed and started to be covered by violet light, and at the same time a low frequency vibration shook the air

On the other hand, Yellow Radio crossed both arolden baton The balls on the baton’s either end, also released cyclic light

The increasingly higher pressure,sensation around his cheek area

A King’s special attack, Haruyuki saw a frage beam released by one main cannon, bleay the top part of shi+njukufar away in the battle field without much of effort

If same level potential power as that attack, is released in such close distance, ould happen? To Haruyuki who opened his eyes wide and forgot to breathe, Niko’s voice again lightly reached his ears

“Not with power, it will be decided by speed”

“Eh hat do you mean?”

“No matter how you look at it, Lotus’ special attack is direct contact type Against that, Radio’s special is illusion type Thatinto effect, whether Lotus’ one hit can reach him or not - will decide the battle”

Haruyuki’s throat made a ‘Gokuri’ sound

The largely tilted sun, cut through the black clouds slightly, and one red beaht came down

That was reflected on the obsidian blade, at that instant

Black Lotus’ dignified sound echoed

“«Death By Pi»”

At the same time, Yellow Radio too

“«Futile Fortune Wh»”

However

Two skill names that were shouted at the same time, neither finished the last sound

‘Ton’

That kind of s presence dry sound echo, pressed down the two King’s sounds

That, was fro piercing through from behind kind of sound

Kuroyukihime who stopped her skill in mid shout, Haruyuki, Niko, the other Burst Linkers, and the Yellow King hireyout of the armor
