42 Chapter 42: That Won't be Necessary.
*Shiin*
Silence surrounded this large forest.
No matter who they are, they couldn't even speak even a word after seeing Rein's action directly with their eyes.
In that instant, he killed Kobatz easily just like any monsters outside the field naturally, just like breathing.
Yes, just as something obvious to do.
With no hesitation, with no mercy.
He 'killed' a player.
His skill is one thing, but the act of attacking a player instantly like that is too abnormal.
Now, what did that abnormal guy declared again?
"What's wrong, you want the item right? Then get it from me. If not...." (Rein)
Just six words.
"I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU."
"!!!" (Players)
Makes them wake up from daydreaming.
However, that doesn't mean they could attack Rein immediately.
Shock and most of all, fear run through all of them without a single exception.
Why?
(...The next guy who steps the first will be done for.)
Just now, they couldn't even see his movement so how could they be a match to this monster?
He's still wearing the same smile on his face on the entire time.
But it makes them be afraid and tremble fiercely.
Rather than the predator between the prey,
It's more close to a guy founded a new toy to play.
"...." (Players)
"Hmm, looks like nobody has the courage. I guess you all are just a coward who has no balls." (Rein)
"...Tch!!"
(Son of a bit*h!!) (Players)
That snaps their bits of patience.
Thinking about it, it is ridiculous for a number close to hundred players be afraid of one single player only.
Therefore,
"You guys, don't be afraid and just kill him!! He's just alone!" (Player A)
"Show your worth as the clearing guild members!! They are only a few, there's no need to fear!!" (Player B)
"OOOHHHHHHH!!"
Regaining their moral, they attempt to crush their enemies with sheer numbers only.
It is crude but very effective in most situations.
After all, one commander couldn't beat 100 soldiers with him alone.
However,
"!! They are coming! Prepare to repel them!" (Kirito)
"Ou! If it reaches to this point, then--" (Klein)
"There's no need." (Rein)
There is always an exception to every situation.
Even though dozens of player are charging, Rein could still look back to his teammate and Fuurinkazan.
"Just defend yourselves. I will take care of the rest." (Rein)
"...Rein!? But, you will--" (Asuna)
*Shakes head*
"This is an order. I don't want you all to get hurt because of this farce."
"....Kuh."
Hearing that, Asuna could only grip both of her fists tightly while lowering her head. Even Kirito and Agil put a frustrated face for ordered only to standby.
They already make the promise with him to always follow his order, no matter what.
That is why it makes three of them angry to no end.
Usually, no matter what monsters they faced, Rein fought with them as a team.
But when it relates to attacking or killing other players, he will always take the hated role.
(...Why. Why you always hold to it alone?) (Asuna)
Rein didn't outcast them nor see them as a burden even once.
Rather, if he does, he won't make a guild with them in the first place.
In this one year, he had lots of good memories with them too, just like family.
The proof of his trust is when they defended him from other players while he was fighting with the boss.
But for this kind of occasion, he never let them get involved in any way.
Because protecting and killing are two completely different concepts.
Therefore, only he himself will stain his hands dirty.
"Fuurinkazan. As the leader of Familia Myth, I formally request all of you to guard my guild members. I will pay the reward on a later date." (Rein)
"E-Eh!? Re-Rein-shi, are you---" (Klein)
"Please."
"!?"
Klein couldn't say anything more.
Because Rein literally bows his head 90 degrees to him.
Seeing his resolve and determination, Klein could only sigh and accept it reluctantly.
"...Understood. I will accept that request."
"(Smiles) Thank you."
*Fwish*
With this, Rein could fight with the three guilds without any worries.
"Fuh!" (Rein)
*Shuuung!*
*Zub!*
"Gahak!?" (Player A)
*Pring*
It is the start for the battle of 1 V.S. 100.
*****
During the training session with Yuuji, he always gave simulation to Rein on every possible occasion.
On the concrete jungle.
On assassination attempt.
Or, in many versus one situation.
For the last simulation, Yuuji ingrained Rein deeply on one thing.
"Give fear to them. That will break their formations instantly."
Fear is the easiest emotion to spread for to a crowd.
But how?
How to make an army be afraid of one soldier?
The answer is simple.
*Fwisshh*
*Zub*
"GWAHH!?"
*Pring*
Showing the overwhelming differences between both parties.
*Shuuung!*
*Zrek!*
"GUWAK!?"
*Pring*
Lose their moral by closing the path to victory.
Rein is exactly doing that.
One by one,
*Stab* *Stab!* *Stab!*
"AHK!?"
He killed his enemies precisely without hesitation.
In each of his attacks, he will get close into one player in unmatchable speed then slice him up with a barrage of strikes.
"Tch!? Damn it!! What the hell is with this guy!? He is just one guy, you know!!" (Player A)
Of course, others will swarm him up the moment he does so.All they need to do is encircle and beat him up.
But that is impossible.
"Shut your mouth and start moving!! He's going to run away again!" (Player B)
Because their movement is just like snails for Rein.
*Shuung!!*
*fwish.*
"Why.....Why we can't hit him even once!!?" (Player C)
Sword Art Online is a world where level and equipment will make difference between the players. To Rein who already have huge level gaps, his attributes are dimensions apart.
Moreover, each of his equipment is mainly based on speed and power only with having paper-thin defenses.
Lastly, the unique skill, limitless.
[Limitless activated (Speed) : 22:29....22:28....22:27...]
Combining these three factors, Rein could run around the field like the wind itself. No matter what tactic or formation the three guilds plan to do, It will be broken apart even before they could implement it.
That's why,
*Pring!* *Pring!* *Pring!*
They are just targets for Rein to kill.
"Th-This is ridiculous... how could this happen!?'
"M-Monster...."
"Hiiii!!"
Voices of fear and shock are coming here and there from the three guilds. Comparing to the beginning, their spirits have already dropped to the bottom.
As for the so-called monster?
"Fuuhh...that makes it thirty-eight." (Rein)
He is still unscathed.
Moreover,
"Now, who's next?"
He is still able to smile even after killing tens of players.
"....."
Nobody could respond to him anymore.
Now, they personally experience it with their body. For why does Rein able to have another ominous nickname other than The Silver Star.
The Smiling Death God.
Because he will eliminate the player with that gentle smile.
As for the spectators, they could only see this silently while taking a deep breath.
(...I'm really glad I didn't offend him.) (Klein)
In the beginning, Klein sticks with Kirito because he couldn't leave his friend.
But now, he is relieved from the bottom of his heart that Rein isn't his enemy.
His single choice saves him from death.
However, the three guilds who choose to steal will face the consequences.
If it already reaches to this point, they can't even think about stealing the item anymore. What matters is whether their lives could be spared or not.
"Goddamnit...."(Player A)
"H-hey... let's retreat. It's not worth it." (Player B)
"You crazy!? We already lose how many guys!" (Player A)
"SO!? At least we can survive right!?"
Just as planned, Rein's tactic is successful.
If not, he will be the one in trouble.
(...Crap. My body won't hold it anymore.) (Rein)
During the boss battle, he already forced himself too much in order to finish it quickly. Due to that, the first use of limitless had been burned out instantly.
Now, after fighting with these guys, his consciousness is near to blackout. After all, It is not easy to fight three entire clearing guild members with him alone.
Right now, he is just bluffing by showing superiority so they'll choose to retreat.
Of course, he could kill them if he wants to, but he could die after repeated uses of limitless repeatedly.
(Please...just go!!) (Rein)
However, looks like his luck has run out too.
"Don't panic!! he can't move like that for that much anymore!! If we push him a little bit more, then he will be out of gas!!" (???)
(....Damn it.)
One player from Knights of the Blood has pinpointed his weakness.
Kuradeel, vice commander of Knights of the Blood.
In the original story, that position was from Asuna. But this time, he took the position.
However, his current status is just undercover.
His real guild is just a gathering of lunatics who kill people for fun.
That's why he can know when the prey will breathe roughly.
(Kukuku.... You can't fool me that easily. No matter how strong you are, it won't matter if your stamina has run out!)
Their original purpose to start this fight is to get the resurrection item. If their lives are lost in the middle of the process, then it will all just for naught.
Kuradeel also knows that.
But this is the perfect opportunity to kill his largest obstacle.
In real world, murderers like him couldn't kill people easily since there's no way knowing when they would be seen.
But this place is different.
There may be moral, but there is no law.
So if he could kill Rein and his guild, then the progress for clearing this world will be significantly slower.
Luckily, the three guilds have lost their ability to stay calm so he could sway their thoughts easily.
"Yeah...Yeah! That's right!" (Player A)
"Hah!! We still have the advantage right now!!" (Player B)
After his shout, most players have woken up from their fear.
The situation is hopeless.
The fear that he had spread instantly vanished. Some players still hesitate but huge numbers of them have already woke up from it.
"Fuuhhh...." (Rein)
(It's now or never.)
Readying his weapon, Rein still faced them with no change of expression.
If one time is not enough, then he will do it repeatedly until their spirits are broken.
He won't care whether his body will have side- effect after this battle.
If not, his companions will be the one to die due to his decision.
However,
"Come here you all. I will--" (Rein)
"That won't be necessary."
Fate has not given up on him yet.
