Accel World Vol 3 Chapter 11 (1/2)
Chapter 11
One hour later, he was resurrected
Death in the Unli scenery changed to a black and white monochroently o beyond a ten meter radius from the death position
A sital nu at 60:00:00, and when it became zero, finally the field colors and the avatar body itself was recovered
While looking down at the pretty big crater he ht of
“It seems like 100 without doubt that she is Kuroyukihime senpai’s friend”
And then he held both hands at his waist, and looked up at the towering vertical rock wall —— old Tokyo tower in front of him
“The next , that means means”
Climb to the top Would be what it meant
After shaking his head, he sighed deeply So its cub down a bottomless ravine’, but that probably should be story about it being a Good Job staying alive after being dropped
However, unlike the lion, Haruyuki’s avatar has two skillfully ht as possible, and power is as the words said can go through rocks
“I will climb”
He whispered as if saying to himself, and Haruyuki held both hands into fists
Even if it was a 300 meter continuous vertical rock wall, it was not a saps where hands and feet could cling to, and it should be possible to dig small holes
Planning to carve his deter, he lowered his waist, and held his right hand at waist level
“Uryaa!!”
The punch that was thrust out with that psyche, bore a hole deep into the reddish brown rock, and sank in about 20cm deep
He put his right foot there solidly, lifted his body up, then Haruyuki’s left hand held onto a crack a bit higher
Moving his sight left and right, and after drawing the starting route in his head, he lifted his avatar up with just his left hand Towards the step he aimed for, this time the tip of his left foot was firmly set
Actually, cli like this in the virtual space, was not his first tile andcliffs like this was a worthy strategy for blindsiding the enee, he even borrowed rock cli software from the library
The trick for free cliine the optimal route at the start, and do not stick too close to the surface of the rock
Looking ahead to the limit of his vision, here and how to place his four lihts, Haruyuki continued to climb the rock wall in a steady pace
As if it was a race, the sun that dyed the eastern sky red also inched its position upwards The color of the ed to a eerie yellow
How otten The top was melted into the sky so it could not be seen, and if he looked down, the ground should be far away However he did not look towards his feet even once, and while facing the sky, he innocently and honestly challenged the cliff He was mostly not conscious of it himself, but the concentration that he put to various «Gareatest ability of the person called Arita Haruyuki
That well-honed nerve, captured the slight shaking of the air frousts that was a feature of the Wilderness stage Immediately, Haruyuki’s both hands thrust into the cracks in the rocks and firhtly close to the surface
A few seconds later, the atust that was like a giant blowing ca Haruyuki as if to shake hi any fear, Haruyuki calmly waited for the wind to stop Since, the slender and slippery body of Silver Croithout any protrusion should offer no resistance to the wind That meant Haruyuki believed that he would not be bloay by just wind, and it was actually like that
The nasty giant finally gave up, and after Haruyuki took a sain continued the ascent
At the ti slightly west
Finally, the tip of the rock wall that seemed to continue infinitely, drew a sharp arc in the sky The tip of that cylinder, was the top where Sky Raker waited
The distance should still be over 100 ht tiht about it, Sky Raker’s “So that you can remember well the stew’s taste” words, and the smile she showed after Haruyuki said that he would wake up properly tomorroere probably predictions that Haruyuki could not climb this old Tokyo tower in one day
‘—— I will show you that I can reach the top today!’
With that determination, however with no carelessness, Haruyuki attacked the rock surface using steady ed direction in the afternoon, ca with increased frequency, but all of the to the wall
The sky’s color slowly became more saturated, and the climb that started at dawn soon reached nine hours He was indeed starting to feel tired, and as he ground his teeth in frustration, Haruyuki’s nose captured a slight floral scent Furtherht of the portal also reached his ears and eyes
Soon Just 20, no, 15 more meters
If he finished cli on his first try, then even Sky Raker should be shocked, so Haruyuki enthusiastically increased his hands and feet speed ——
—— At that time
Soh resonance sound shook the at sounded from far away at the same time, made Haruyuki lift his face up, and look at the eastern horizon
And then he groaned
“Ah not good”
Co down froently caressed the earth
It was a «Transition» An ultra large phenoed the attribute of all of Unlimited Neutral Field
Haruyuki quickly looked back, and started cli till now Occasionally his lirabbed hold of a gap while in danger and held on Without waiting for his heart to calain jumped towards his next hold
As if to hurry Haruyuki on like that, the aura closed in at trerew louder The surfaces that were caressed by the seven color light curtain had the reddish broilderness colors dispersed in a poof, and was reborn in a new for this world After the «Transition», the Enee that was destroyed was repaired There was no Enemy around this tower, but the latter was a probleht in the aura, then the holes that Silver Crow’s sharp hands thrust into the rock wall, would probably ——
“U O!”
Haruyuki shouted, and the final distance wereon all fours
However, he was five meters short
Nuainst his ears, and the seven color shi+ne painted all of his view, and in the next instant, Haruyuki’s hands and legs were throay from the ith a repulsive force that could not be denied
“shi+tt Nooo”
He clawed the air with his hands, trying to get close to the wall once more, but that effort was also in vain
“Wa a a ——”
Haruyuki died again
After he was resurrected one hour later, the world was already covered by sunset, and it was no longer the red wilderness
The ground was ed stone paveed to a bluish black shi+ning metal plate jointed steel tower It was the «Dee
“”
Haruyuki sluh If this was a norame, then at this point he would hit his pillow in his rooout, and he did not have the energy for it
However, for his first try, he almost climbed to the top Sky Raker see would take weeks, or at worse even longer If it was like that, then he could say that he had done pretty well He strongly held his two fists with, ‘I will absolutely climb it next time’
He really wanted to tackle the wall again right now, but thought that it would not be possible at night Planning to challenge it again the first thing to in the surrounding, and lay down at one side of a safe looking room
Itfor nine hours continuously, he was suddenly attacked by a strong drowsiness, and without the chance to feel hungry, Haruyuki fell straight into sleep
However, in the thirdof his dive in the Unlimited Neutral Field
Haruyuki’s eyes popped out from sudden shock
Last night he was careless and did not notice it, but the Dee’s old Tokyo Toas siht Chrome Disaster, both made up of smooth and hard steel plates Since there were no s, there were also no ladders Instead of that, not a single crack where his fingertips could hold onto could be seen That meant, there was no way for him to climb it
“Then, I can just make my own holes”
He ertip
Like yesterday, Haruyuki punched using his held fist with all his strength
And then jumped up as he screamed
“Ouch ch ——-!”
The sharp pain that was increased two tiht hand while ju around, and he stared at the place he hit, but the bluish black wall did not have a single dent Indestructible object —— that could not be, but probably it was not possible to open a hole without a heat ray or drill, and of course Silver Croas not equipped with so like those
“Does that mean I have to wait for the next «Transition»”
He cursed while grinding his teeth, but how many days later would the next aura visit be, and whether the next time will be a destroyable attribute, he had absolutely no idea The sudden sense of frustration, made Haruyuki slump down to his knees
That head, was suddenly hit by so with a thump
“Huh!?”
When he ju was dropped there He quickly looked up, but the steel color spire extended infinitely into the gray sky, and no one could be seen
However that bag was dropped by Sky Raker’s hand, which Haruyuki had no doubt He picked it up in amazement, untied the knot, and found out that inside contained a large round bread, and a small piece of paper
At that moment, he was i, so Haruyuki bit into the large bread as the lower half of his hel inside, but even so he thought it was sorant and incredibly delicious, so he was absorbed in eating
Soon half of it was gone, then Haruyuki finally turned the paper around, and read the words written there in elegant handwriting
—— [Thehad already started Yesterday, ere you not bloay by the wind, please think about that]
“Huh?”
After reading it once, he could not grasp her intent at all
This wall cli, or put another way so, which Haruyuki understood Even in Kung Fu ht ?
And then, ‘Why were you not bloay by the wind?’, that sentence also htly, of course Also, Silver Crow’s body has low air resistance That hen he stuck to the wall, the wind passed by his back
“Ah”
Suddenly, Haruyukii the rest of the bread, he again continued to think
Mind poas, a e power to control avatar or object
Yesterday, when Haruyuki was sticking to the rock hile enduring the wind, he did not even think about being bloay If it was Silver Crow’s slender and sust would pass by, and that became the actual case
Maybe, that was —— at that ti used? Did strongly drawing the ih him actually lessen the wind pressure?
In that case, in the same manner, would he be able to deal with this steel wall?
After putting the last piece of bread into his mouth, the helht hand
The five fingers could not be any save off a really hard looking shi+ne
‘—— Not punch, it should be a jab’
Thinking so naturally, he lined up the five fingers together and extended theht out When the wrist was steady, the parts in front of the elbow looked exactly like a sword
He lowered his waist to half of his height, and this time stared at the wall in front
The bluish black shi+ning steel plates looked truly tough, however, it was just a stage background Without any consciousness, it just exists That meant its physical shape, was only a series of code recorded in the Brain Burst server somewhere
If he could not even open a hole in such thing, then how could he call hi, Black Lotus, then without doubt she would cut this degree of walls apart like butter without even getting worked up
He held his fingers extended right hand at waist level ‘Suu, Haa’, deep breaths, then one more breath in ——
“Haa!!”
With that psyche, he thrust straight out
With a ‘Giin!’ sharp sound, bluish white sparks flew apart All of his finger joints, wrist, and elbow had a sharp pain running through thee in his view’s upper left was slightly shaved
He involuntarily moaned, and Haruyuki slumped down to his knees there, but when he looked up, it certainly existed there Carved in the s, 1mm deep sharp scar
‘—— It ork!’ Right after that thought, he also yelled ‘Not enough!’
His iers as fingers and arm as arm, and that hy he was hurt Think of them as a sword Sih various things, and cut them apart
He stood up, and again sharply extended his fingers Thinking for a bit, he bent his thumb to the side of the paler, was ned like that fro
And then froher to near shoulder level, drawn back to the limit The left hand held out mostly in front, turned horizontally Just like the motion he saw fro»
“Shaa!!”
The sound this tiher and clearer echo coain round his teeth, but the scar that the wall sustained was a little bit deeper
That day eventually ended with hiainst the wall
He gradually stopped feeling pain, and by sunset, his fingertip ate in about 3mm, but that was still not at a level that could support hi the wall However Haruyuki did not feel terribly i place froue
‘What I aht be just some kind of escape’
He could not help but think like that while laying there Using «Acceleration» to extend the time, and fast forward his problem with Chiyuri, Takuht now, he was happy while singlehiain slept like the dead
Morning on the fourth day
He stood at the same place as yesterday, and stared at the nuht, as Haruyuki once again thought
The direction of his i hard and sharp, and his arht But, he felt that he was
WhileQuickly picking it up, he face the sky and shout ‘Itadakimasu’, then bit into the bread inside
Today also, ca it excitedly, that was ——
[Do your best, Karasu-kun ♡]
It was only that, and while ehed with a snort He was expecting a si else ritten
This would mean, ‘I already know all I need to know’, it would be like that
While thinking that, Haruyuki finished eating the bread, and again desperately worked his head
Mind power Will froe power Inside his ears, Sky Raker’s words replayed
‘——- Listen Ie power! That is truly, us Burst Linker’s secret true power’
Wait a o very long ago, by that person also
At the ht of that, that sound freshly replayed from deep in his memory
‘—— Listen, Haruyuki-kun You are fast You will becos as well Speed is truly Burst Linker’s greatest power’
There was no way he could forget it That, was right before Kuroyukihime used her final command «Physical Full Burst» to save Haruyuki, the words she left after being prepared for her own death
Kuroyukihime at that time, should definitely have known about Burst Linker’s hidden «Incarnate Systereatest power as «Speed» instead of «Ie Power» That meant ——
These two, are the sa
The word «Speed» that Kuroyukihime used, did not just mean the duel avatar’s movement speed in the field It was the brain connected to the Neuro Linker, the signal speed sent out by the consciousness The speed of response between this world and himself That meant, how close to the essence of the world, it would be like that
“With ie control”
Muttering, Haruyuki held his right hand up
Not power It was speed What he should ie was that Move to the limit of speed Get as close to the world as possible And assimilate with it
“Fuu”
With a slight exhale, Haruyuki’s right hand thrust out with an iht
In fact, a dih the space A ‘Shukiin!’ sound, like so from some kind of musical instrument beautifully sounded
After seeing his fingers buried over 5ly clenched his left hand
