Sword Art Online Volume 16 – Alicization Exploding Chapter 18 – War of the Underworld 61 Falling into a momentary rigidness, the knight’s two legs were grabbed simultaneously by the two goblins. Incapable of dealing with their dreadful physical strength, Deusolbert fell onto his back. His two widened eyes perceived Shibori, the enemy general, jumping forward with his large frame and two battle axes brandished while showing a brutal joy. —In such a place, against goblins? —It’s impossible for I, Deusolbert, an integrity knight, to face defeat here. «Impossible». That thought could prove to be a dangerous poison for one’s mental state the more stubborn one was. Though he remained above falling into a berserk state like Sigrosig, Deusolbert’s motion came to a complete stop within his numbed consciousness. The knight could only watch on as the lethal blade loomed closer before he heard— A scream, hoarse from exhaustion but valiant all the same. “Esteemed knight———!!” A single guard charged towards the enemy general and his fiendish features. That was that young guard commander. That youngling whose name he had not even heard yet raised the greatsword his two hands held up and carried out a slash from above with all he had. In response, the enemy general swung the battle axe in his left hand as though it was a bother. Gagiin!! A dull, shrill metallic noise rang out.
