Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Kirito admitted that he was acting to some extent, but at least what he said was true.

Okay, maybe that's a little exaggerated...

Fortunately, Nanoha believed it.

This way, I would have one more fighting force.

I will take the tyrant to beat the favorite concubine later. Oh my God, why would I have such a dream?

If you think about it more deeply...isn't this a kind of minotaur?

Just at this moment, Yui, who was in invisible state, approached Kirito's face.

"Papa, we detected someone coming here again. I think it must be right this time."

Kirito frowned: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake this time?"

"It should be... probably... correct, right?"

Yui was also a little unsure.

She was testing a unit that had suddenly appeared in SAO, and if she wanted to confirm their identity, she would need to be there in person to confirm it.

Hearing Kirito's 'soliloquy', Nanoha stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just spotted a new arrival. I'm not sure if it's the person you're looking for, but would you like to come over and take a look?"

Faced with Kirito's invitation, Nanoha immediately agreed.

"Please take me with you."

……

Kirito hurried on the ground, while Nanoha followed behind him in the air after transforming.

Before long, the scene of the ground covered with raw stones gradually disappeared.

In its place was a desert.

As the two went deeper, transparent gravel began to appear on the ground.

At first, Nanoha just thought they were glass.

But the closer you get to the center of the desert, the larger the transparent gravel becomes.

It was not until she saw a half-meter-long crystal block with her own eyes that she asked Kirito in surprise:

"Is this... crystal?"

"Yes."

"Could it be that all the rubble we have come across along the way are such crystals?"

Kirito didn't take it seriously and said casually without even turning his head:

"What a fuss! I've already told you before that there are gems everywhere here."

Well, she thought the other party was just talking.

But when she really arrived at the center of the desert, she was still stunned by the scene before her.

No, I'm afraid this place can no longer be called a desert.

I saw that there was no trace of sand here at all, and instead, white crystals were everywhere.

They varied in size, but the smallest one that she could see was over one meter tall, and the tallest was even taller than two of her.

Under the sunlight, it gives people a feeling of being in a sea of ​​shining stars.

"Is this the kingdom of gems?" Nanoha couldn't help but exclaim.

Kirito corrected him, "To be precise, it is the Crystal Region, one of the regions in the Gem Kingdom."

Does that mean there are more different gems here?

Such a scene has already shocked Nanoha. She wonders what kind of treasure is the top-level gem that Fate is looking for?

As she thought of this, she vaguely saw from the air that a battle was reflected in a huge crystal in the distance.

Two people were fighting with a white figure.

"I see. I'll go help first."

After saying that, he flew past Kirito and quickly headed forward...

When Nanoha arrived at the scene, it was Fate and his familiar Elf who were fighting.

"Fit!"

The two people who were fighting looked over when they heard the sound.

Elf was furious: "It's you again. I've already given you the remaining 'Sacred Stone Seeds', why do you keep causing trouble again and again!"

"No, I'm not here to fight you, I just want to have a good chat..."

"Tsk," Elf doesn't believe these nonsense.

"Fate is concentrating on collecting gems. I'll stop her."

The situation on the battle changed at this moment.

Fate fights the enemies on the ground, while Elf intercepts Nanoha in the air.

The monster on the ground was covered in white knight armor. Although it had no weapons, it was as oppressive as any monster before it.

If Kirito was there, he would definitely recognize the monster:

【Gem Knight Bai Jing】

Looking at the figures who had already entered the battle below, Nanoha asked Elf:

"I heard that Fate is collecting gems here. Can you tell me why?"

"Why tell you, we have no obligation to do so."

As expected, although it's nice to see each other again, do we have to fight each other?

Just like before.

In this case, Nanoha also made up her mind: "Then I will use action to stop her."

“Try it if you can.”

During the battle between the two, Fate also faced the enemy with all her might.

(Thunder smasher)

Following an electronic sound, she used her strongest move at this stage.

"Thunder breaks"

Fate called out the name of the move and pointed the Lightning Axe at the enemy on the ground.

In an instant, a yellow lightning shot out from the front of the weapon, completely covering Bai Jing's figure like a beam of light.

The huge amount of energy illuminated everything around, and even forced Nanoha and Elf to stop fighting.

This move lasted for several seconds before it ended.

At this time, Fate felt that his magic power was lacking, and he felt a little unstable even when flying in the air.

She had to breathe deeply and pay attention at all times, otherwise she would fall from the air if she was not careful as her magic power was scarce at the moment.

"This is... the end..."

When I regained my vision, I found Bai Jing half-kneeling on the ground.

The armor on his body was already tattered, as if it would disappear in the next second like the previous monster.

Elf shouted, "It worked!"

Fate felt the same way, and then began to land there, trying to get the gem as soon as it appeared and then retreat.

It's finally over, and now all seven gems are collected.

Mother's wish can be fulfilled.

But at this moment, Nanoha saw Bai Jing on the ground move one hand.

"careful!"

Bai Jing, who was originally half-kneeling, suddenly stood up, and a dazzling white light emanated from his whole body.

As if evolving, its entire body is growing taller and its arms are becoming stronger.

When the white light completely disappeared, Bai Jing, who was originally about two meters tall, had grown to three meters tall.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the two hands have completely disappeared and turned into two diamond-headed hammers that are thicker than the body.

He looks like a little giant in armor.

In comparison, Fate in front of it was as harmless as a small animal, and his entire body was not even half as thick as the opponent's diamond head hammer.

What's even more terrifying is that the huge headbutt has been slowly lifted up.

And the target is directly aimed at Fate in front of him.

And now that she is short of magic power, how can she resist?

It's impossible to resist.

She held the lightning axe in front of her and deployed her defensive skills to the extreme.

(Defenser)

Such a powerful blow shattered the triangle defense technique the moment it came into contact with it.

The next moment, a huge impact hit Fate.

In an instant, it was rushed more than ten meters away, and it did not stop until its body smashed a huge crystal into pieces.

Am I defeated?

Although Fate was lying in a pile of broken crystal at this time, she was still very conscious.

He looked at the magic device in his hand and saw that the place where it was hit was already broken into pieces.

"Was it the Lightning Axe that protected me?"

(Ye…yes…sir)

Intermittent electronic sounds came from the gem on top of it, and it seemed that the damage was very serious.

"Thank you... Lightning Axe, I can come back now..."

This time the magic device did not respond, and remained in its unfolded shape in her hand.

This is the first time this has happened.

Generally speaking, when a magic device is damaged, it will immediately return to its original form, which is the golden triangle decoration worn on Fate's hand.

That state is undoubtedly the fastest means of self-repair, but the Lightning Axe has no intention of changing back.

Suddenly, Fate seemed to realize something: "Is the Lightning Axe going to continue fighting in this form?"

(yeah…)

This time, even the electronic sound didn't come through completely, only the gem on the top flashed to express its own intention.

Fate also wanted to continue fighting.

But there are obviously more important things than fighting. She hopes that the magic device that has grown with her since she was a child can continue to accompany her well, instead of being completely destroyed here.

"...That's enough... Lightning Axe, please come back soon... I can't fight in this form anymore, and I don't have the magic power to repair it for you..."

Sad, helpless, tears even started to flow from the corners of my eyes.

At this desperate moment, Nanoha's voice came from the front:

"Please use my magic..."
