The warrior needle, which repelled the Katanas who had raided him, was walking inside the facility with Asakura. There were no researchers in the facility who were supposed to be making a fuss because of the intruders. I can get in touch with the main room where the players are being monitored, but I'm losing touch with the others. Though I was walking directly inside the facility wondering if they were keeping me out of touch, the researchers haven't seen me.

"Is the main room full of people?"

?

Asakura reacts to the whining of the warrior needle, but ignores it and the warrior needle walks inside the facility. And I reached the last room I hadn't seen yet. Now when it comes to a room you haven't seen outside the main room, it's just this room.

A break room built for the researchers to breathe.

Asakura, you stay back.

"Huh? Ha..."

The warrior needle left Asakura down and opened the door by himself. At that moment, a red flash popped out of the entrance. The warrior needle dodges the light by flying it sideways. The light hit a wall in the facility and made a loud noise to destroy it. The debris fell to the ground and became light and vanished.

Someone in the room used Deathray. That's what Asakura decided, something in the room popped up sooner than it moved out and hit the warrior needle.

Someone waved the machete in his hand onto the warrior's needle while wearing a white coat. When did you pull it out, the warrior needle was pulling out the sword and took that blow.

The two cross blades and compete. The sound of kachikachi and blades bumping into each other echoes in the idle hallway of the facility. Eventually, the power of the warrior needle beat his opponent, and the man with the machete was blown back. He crashes against the wall and screams, "Guuuuu!".

"Say... ahhh. The first blow was fatal."

Asakura narrowed her eyes to the familiar voice. I don't see the look on the warrior needle standing in front of him, but he shook his shoulder wide and sighed.

"Hey, I thought you'd be ambushing me, Urabe"

With a glance on his face, the warrior needle tells him so in a slightly less discouraging voice than usual tone towards Urabe, who rises with his machete in his support. "That's right," Urabe said, suppressing her face and giving her a weakened look.

"For quite some time, Asakura has been advising me. Urabe is very suspicious, so I was wondering if you would let me monitor her."

"Whoa... Asakura. What kind of suspicion do you have of your boss? You didn't learn to believe in school!"

"So shut up! In fact, now you're betraying me!"

When Asakura yelled at Urabe's ridiculous attitude, he distorted his mouth with a hoot. Then set up the machete and point the sharp at the warrior needle. The warrior needle looked at it and narrowed his eyes.

"Urabe. Why did you betray me? You're in my position, but you've come this far with me."

"Not on the way. I've come this far because I admire the power that can rule the world, the technology that can reform the world."

Then why did you betray me? Because you missed your job? I'm setting the norm for the job I'm giving you at somewhat less than the other researchers, and you'd have that amount before breakfast in the first place. "

"... I wasn't dissatisfied with the work I was given. The rewards are right, and I was able to watch some pretty lady players between jobs."

………………

"I calmed him down and thought about where this job was going. You said we'd be gods."

"I told you. With this technology, we can be equal to God in the virtual world."

"I don't like that 'God' of yours. Don't drag the past forever. I want you back, warrior needle. I thought I could get back on my feet when I got time, but it's getting worse."

"What's wrong with that? Humans are made up in the past. It's natural to be influenced by the past."

"Don't be rational. You're already done. It's over, but it's not over cheating and it's getting this far. So I'm gonna finish you off completely."

"It's got nothing to do with you! If you don't like me, get out of this world! This is my world!"

"World, world, world, world! You're sick! I know you've come this far, it's not irrelevant. I'm the one who accelerated you to be that way. So I'm responsible. After that, you're not the only one in the world."

"No, this world is mine"

"Different."

"It's not. This world is mine."

"You're not."

"The world is mine!

……

"Hmm... I can't talk about it. Enough. I know you're working on the operating system. I'll take your janitor's authority and have this thing collected."

When it was not worth talking about anymore, he broke off the reward of words and the warrior needle lifted the great sword.

Behind that, Asakura was surprised to see the exchange between the two. Because it was the first time I had seen a warrior needle make my emotions so obvious. I heard about him and Urabe being friends from a long time ago, but the vision of a friend on a warrior needle never occurred to Asakura. Because the warrior needle did not reveal his emotions and was not seriously confronted with a floating attitude towards anyone.

"Ooh!"

A Death Ray was fired from Urabe's machete. It is not difficult to denounce Deathray, which can only proceed in a straight line. The warrior needle jumped sideways to dodge it, just like earlier, and advanced toward Urabe.

The great sword of the warrior needle wraps around the white light. The speed of travel accelerates accordingly and instantly approaches the sight of Urabe.

Moment Edge, the top advancing skill of the Great Sword. The fastest of all Great Sword Skills.

On the warrior needle, which approached him almost instantly in front of him, Urabe began to rush as he burst out with a razor blade. The sword swung down from the diagonal gently bounced the machete toward him, severing his body from Urabe's shoulder. My body will be split in two, and Urabe won't be able to move - it should have.

"Ko, what is this?"

Absolutely no response.

The great sword of the warrior needle slashed and tore Urabe, but it never stopped beating him to the ground. A shock ran into the hand holding the pattern and for a moment the force stopped coming in. So I realize Urabe, who I attacked, was an illusion.

Breaking through that illusion, Urabe popped up.

"Remnants."

The skill used by Urabe is Phantom.

It's one of the rare skills of the dodging system. I can create my own illusions in front of me. In the meantime, they can't realize who they really are.

Urabe's machete strikes a warrior needle that solidifies with the sword swung down. The blow slipped into his flank and he was slapped.

At that moment, Urabe now opened her eyes.

Because the body of the warrior needle that knocked in the attack was smashed and scattered. Urabe, who looks familiar with this skill, looks backwards aggressively.

"Remnants."

The sword pierced Urabe's abdomen as he looked back. A thick blade penetrates your body, tearing your white coat and sticking it out of your back.

"but fu"

Urabe exhales painfully in the severe pain of being breached through her belly. Gakun and the strength of his body are lost, and the machete he was holding falls vainly to the ground.

Although it was not immediate death, Urabe's HP is still diminishing due to penetration damage. Red light is flowing out of the wound like blood.

"You've been vulnerable to these battles for a long time."

"Ugh... let it be. The motor nerves... they're not very good."

………… Too bad...... Urabe. I thought you'd be the only one who'd ever get to me. "

"Or, ha. Who's following you now?"

Urabe laughed so that she could swallow, even though it seemed painful.

My own friend - a man who can even be called my best friend laughs at himself, and the warrior needle clenches his teeth.

"That was terrible... Did I... stop you?"

"... there's no need to stop it. I'll be God."

"Two sicknesses in this... bastard... shit"

Urabe's HP keeps decreasing.

Urabe finally said this with a mocking laugh when she realized that her HP would be 0 within a few more moments.

"I... am the weakest of all players! Even if I die, the second player will kill you! My will will defeat your ambition - whoa!!"

That being said, Kensho Urabe vanished from the world of Blade Online.

The warrior needle shrugged quietly as he watched Urabe extinguish and the light ascend into the sky.

"Sound.... you're sick enough too."

For a while now, a warrior needle looking up to heaven like a shudder.

As Asakura approached to speak, Kurli looked back.

It was the same as always that was floating there, a grin with no contents.

When the warrior needle emerges a keyboat in front of him, he begins to move his fingers to regain the authority restricted by Urabe.

"Well, now Urabe's administrator privileges have been removed. All we have to do is disarm it."

"Um... where are the missing researchers going?"

"Oh, Urabe killed him. I guess you thought you were in the way of turning me off. I guess I didn't get my hands on the researchers in the main room because of the large number of people. Because Urabe would have killed the researcher by accident. He's weak."

"I see..."

While explaining to Asakura, the warrior needle does not stop the finger. Asakura also participates in the restoration of authority on the spot, remembering Urabe somehow when he is tapping lightly.

Retrieve one authority that was locked. If you regain all authority at this rate, it will be easy to sweep away players around the facility.

But it didn't.

"Can't you get the lock off? Urabe's administrator authority is still alive..."

Though some of the locks could be removed, they are not as effective as sweeping away players. If you try to unlock the key authority, you'll be bounced off. The lock is hung using administrator privileges.

Although it fits in the form of subordinates, Urabe and the warrior needle have almost the same level of authority. However, Urabe had been sneaking into the system of operations during the past few years to work in detail so that his authority took precedence.

The craftsmanship disappeared when Urabe disappeared from the world, allowing him to unlock it under the authority of a warrior needle. However, Urabe's administrator privileges still prevail. Urabe should have disappeared.

Asakura traces the source of that administrator's authority.

"Warrior needle....... Now we know where the administrator authority came from."

"... somewhere?"

"He's someone from nearly 10,000 players who's currently active. Looks like Urabe was copying some of her authority and transferring it to the players."

"Identify?"

"It's still going to take... a while"

It should be noted that Asakura told him so, frustrated with Urabe interrupting him.

The warrior needle exhales heavily.

"Okay. Hurry up and identify me."

"What do you do with the warrior needle?"

"Let's take command and somehow destroy the players I've been raiding"
