Traveling Immortal(SAO and Persona 5 Royal Arcs)

Volume 66: Medina!?

(May 25, 380 HE)

We see a closer look on the tower to see four people hanging on from Yami's Rebellion. Kirito was holding on Yami's arm while Alice was holding on Kirito's hand and Eydis holding on Alice's arm.

Eydis: enough!! Let go of Alice's hand!!

Alice: I don't intend to live with the shame of being saved by a sinner like you two!!

Then she tried to pull them down but Kirito was gripping her arm more.

Kirito: stay still, you idiot!!

Yami: if the two of you are Integrity Knights, the goddam realize that despair will not going get you anywhere idiots!!

Eydis: y-you insulted us yet again!! Take that back, criminal!!

Kirito: shut up!! He called you idiots!! Because you two are idiots, idiots, idiots!! If you fall to your deaths now, Eugeo, who's still inside the tower, will go to where the pontifex is!!

Yami: isn't it your jobs to stop that?

No words came out of Alice or Eydis.

Yami: so you'd think your top priority as Integrity Knights would be to survive no matter what!!

Kirito: you two are idiots who are to dumb to understand, so we're calling you two idiots!!

Alice: that's eight times you spoke of us that way. I see. What you're saying does make sense. And yet, if that's true, then why won't you let go of my hand?

Eydis: can you prove that we wont find the reason to be less tolerable than death?

Kirito: I...

Yami: Kirito, Eugeo and I didn't climb thing high in the Cathedral to destroy the Axiom Church. We so want to protect the Human Empire from the Dark Territory's invasion.

Kirito: that's why we can't let you two, one of the more powerful Integrity Knights, die now. Because you're a valuable asset.

Eydis: then why did you wield your sword against another and cause bloodshed, violating the gravest taboo of all!?

Kirito: The reason Yami slashed Raios and Humbert was because the rules of the Axiom Church are flawed. Don't you understand this deep down as well!!

A bitter memory resurfaces in Yami's mind. This memory showed two girls with tears in their eyes, having to experience the ultimate shame. Yami's anger reaches its boiling point as he lets his heart form his next words. This even caused bits of his energy to leak out and damaging the walls permanently.

Yami: Should girls like Ronye and Tieze have to become playthings!! Just to satisfy the selfish desires of nobles! Should they have to carry an unbearable weight on their shoulders, because of somebody else's greed! Well! Answer me Integrity Knight Alice!! THE LAWS ARE BROKEN!!

Yami, who was remembering similar occurrences with his friends, was speaking from the depths of his soul, causing him to let out a few drops of tears. This emotion, one that couldn't be faked so easily, resonated in Alice, causing her to widen her eyes.

Yami: if this happened again....I would kill those bastards in cold blood. I don't give a dam of I'm called criminal because of that...I'll fight for what is wrong. I don't care if the world is against me. If I did a sin like that where are the gods not striking me down with that divine punishment!? Burning me!? Law is law, crime is a crime? Who's in control? Quinella or the gods!?

Then Rebellion start to slowly slip away as dust were blown into the wind. He uses his tentacles to hold Kirito, Alice and Eydis up.

Yami: crap!! Kirito use your sword to stab on the wall, same with you Alice and Eydis!!
