Anyone with even a slight understanding of Accel World knows that Black Lily, who should have stood at the pinnacle of Accel World and enjoyed the treatment of the Accel King, became a wanted criminal because she killed Red Cavalry, who was also a "King," at a meeting.

However, Moon Rock knew more than the average person. He knew that Kuroyukihime and the Red Rider were close friends; he knew that Kuroyukihime used a hug as an excuse to ambush and kill the Red Rider who trusted her; he also knew that the Purple King, who, like Kuroyukihime, stood at the pinnacle of acceleration, was the Red Rider's girlfriend.

Before level nine, death in battles only results in the loss of a certain number of speed-up points. However, in battles between level nine players, death will result in the loss of all speed-up points, forcing the player to uninstall the speed-up program, erasing all memories related to the game, and permanently preventing the player from reinstalling the game.

The Purple King, who never met the Red Rider in the real world, naturally lost her lover forever after his death. Because of this, she became the person who hated Kuroyukihime the most in the entire Accelerated World.

Upon discovering the newly discovered item, the "Ultimate Digital Core," which can restore game memories, and seeing the Purple King regain hope of finding her lover, she is naturally so excited that she disregards her image and goes so far as to demand a royal council meeting by shouting out her name.

Kuroyukihime, who was thinking of the same person as the Purple King, naturally realized that she was finally going to face the friend she desperately wanted to forget, but could never forget, the friend who had betrayed her.

As he watched Kuroyukihime's distraught state, the pleasure in Tsukishiro's eyes grew even stronger.

Unfortunately, it's not just Tsukishiro and Kuroyukihime present; there's also an incredible chubby boy named Arita Haruyuki, whom Kuroyukihime confessed her feelings to.

After a moment's hesitation, Haruyuki Arita's feelings of inferiority and uncertainty were finally overcome by his worry for Kuroyukihime.

Arita Haruyuki rushed to Kuroyukihime's side and tightly grasped her slender shoulders, which were still delicate even in the game. In a manner completely out of character for his short and chubby figure, he looked like a protagonist from a hot-blooded manga and loudly encouraged her.

As soon as he saw Haruyuki Arita make a move, Tsukishiro pouted unhappily, turned his head away, and refused to look or listen to the interaction between the two.

Tsukishiro did this not to avoid suspicion or anything like that, but simply because he knew that Kuroyukihime had a strong personality and would definitely recover quickly with Arita Haruyuki's encouragement.

Sure enough, after Yueyan turned around and counted to less than three hundred, Kuroyukihime, who had been half-dead just moments before, had already regained her usual strong and resolute demeanor, and even took the opportunity to confess her love to Arita Haruyuki a second time, showing off their affection.

Her brows twitched as she listened to Haruyuki Arita's trembling stammering "This...that..." and Kuroyukihime's forceful, almost bandit-like demand, "Haruyuki-kun, after hearing my confession, don't you have anything to say?"

Because he left girls with the impression of always having a cold face, looking very dignified, and being difficult to get along with, he didn't have a girlfriend and was deeply resentful about it. Tsukishiro, who was in the middle of puberty at the age of fourteen, finally couldn't stand the saccharine words behind him, even though he had something to ask Kuroyukihime later. He coughed heavily and forcefully interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Those words can't stay hanging in the sky forever. If there's still a part you haven't finished reading, you'd better finish it as soon as possible."

The public display of affection was interrupted, and Kuroyukihime realized that she had indeed forgotten to read some of the words because she was too shocked. She quickly looked up again.

[Event Launch: The Collapsing Infinite Mountain.]

[Event Introduction: During the event, the drop rate of Ultimate Digital Cores will be increased fivefold by defeating the Dark Masters, the ultimate enemies who control Infinite Mountain.]

[Note: The drop rate for the Ultimate Digital Core is extremely low, so please cherish this opportunity.]

[Event duration: Three days in the real world.]

"I see. No wonder the Purple King was so eager to convene the Royal Memories. She must have wanted to persuade the other kings to hunt down the Dark Four Heavenly Kings together."

Once she regained her composure, Kuroyukihime immediately guessed what Murasaki-ou was thinking and murmured softly.

"If your brain and mine didn't both malfunction at the same time, then this should be correct."

Shrugging, Yueyan said in a flippant tone,

"Speaking of which, I've always been very curious about the so-called Seven Kings Conference. Take me with you to this conference."

Upon hearing that Yueyan was going to attend the Seven Kings' Meeting, Kuroyukihime frowned immediately and asked cautiously,

"You actually want to go to the Seven Kings' meeting? Who are you trying to trick this time? Let me remind you, this time the Seven Kings will probably put aside their past grievances and act together. You'd better not go crazy at this time."

It's no wonder that Kuroyukihime is so nervous. After all, Yueyan tricked many high-level Accelerators in his research on the Mind System, including the Blue King and the second-generation Red King.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I really didn't intend to scam anyone this time. I just wanted to go and see what the fuss was about, and maybe join the rest of the group to explore the new map."

Yueyan smiled and waved his hand, unconcerned about Kuroyukihime's wariness, and said with a smile,

"Judging from Zi Wang's behavior just now, she's in a real hurry. If you don't hurry over, she might exclude you from this event."

Knowing that Yueyan was telling the truth, Kuroyukihime gritted her teeth and pondered for a moment before finally nodding. After all, she currently only had Arita Haruyuki's imaginary form, [Silver Raven], and his childhood friend, [Deep Blue Stake], under her command, and neither of them were high-level. Taking only these two to the Royal Council meeting would inevitably be somewhat beneath her dignity.

However, bringing the famous, or rather, infamous, Moon Rock made a significant difference; at least, no king dared to underestimate Moon Rock.

After securing a spot to participate in the Royal Council meeting, Tsukishiro, Kuroyukihime, and the others waited a while longer before [Fukuo no Stake], who had left Meika Middle School to participate in a kendo competition, finally arrived.

Once everyone had arrived, Kuroyukihime didn't waste any more words and led the group toward the place where royal council meetings were usually held.

Kuroyukihime can move by hovering and is quite fast. Shiroyuki is the only flying ability user in the Accelerated World, so speed is her strength. The Moon Rock's imaginary form also has no shortcomings in terms of speed. The only one that is somewhat of a drag is the Deep Blue Stake.

To speed up their journey, Kuroyukihime eventually had the Azure Pillar cling to the Silver Crow's leg, and they flew together in the sky.

Using this seemingly ridiculous method, the group finally arrived at the meeting venue after half an hour.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, and before the silver crow flying in the sky could even land, two piercing blades of light, one on the left and one on the right, slashed towards Moon Rock's neck.

Chapter Eighteen: The Man Who Killed the King

Arita Haruyuki was incredibly surprised to notice the two flashes of light. He instinctively wanted to shout for Tsukishiro to be careful, but before he could finish speaking, Tsukishiro had already raised his hands and casually swung them twice, easily taking the two long swords that looked like they were not ordinary items to the side.

"Yo~, single ponytail or double ponytail, long time no see, you guys are still as impatient as ever."

Having anticipated being attacked, Yueyan showed no anger whatsoever. He smiled and raised his hand to greet the two who attacked him.

"You scoundrel who has blasphemed the king's dignity, what are you doing here? Are you eager to be killed by my king?"

"You rude scoundrel, who gave you permission to call us that!"

Attacking the moon rock were two imaginary female figures wielding long swords, their color almost pure blue, and their appearance as women wearing ancient Japanese armor.

The two imaginary figures look quite similar, except for their hairstyles: one has a single ponytail and the other has twin ponytails. This makes one wonder if they are twins, and indeed they are.

At this moment, the twins were glaring angrily at Moon Rock, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

However, such tension probably didn't affect Yueyan. Under the angry gazes of the two men, he actually burst out laughing.

"Pfft, sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean to laugh, but, kill, pfft, kill me and all that, does your king really dare to say that? Or rather, does any king really dare to say that?"

"【Ink Blasphemer】, you deserve to die!"

"kill!"

Hearing Yueyan's flippant and disdainful words, the twins' pent-up anger erupted, and with a roar, they slashed at him.

"You two must practice kendo in real life, right? This kind of competitive kendo might give you an advantage when fighting low-level speedsters, but it will inevitably become a burden when facing high-level speedsters."

This time, Tsukishiro didn't need to lift a finger; Kuroyukihime had already blocked the attack for him. Steadily parrying the twins' swords, Kuroyukihime first offered a calm critique of their swordsmanship, then questioned them in an incredibly deep voice...

“I don’t care what the blasphemer’s past identity was, but now he is someone I brought with me. Do you two want to desecrate the king’s dignity? Are you two prepared to bear the king’s wrath?”

In Accel World, Kuroyukihime naturally couldn't call Tsukishiro by his real name; she could only refer to him by his game ID, "Ink Blasphemer."

Although Kuroyukihime was wanted by several kings, she was, after all, a level nine king, and the twins hesitated in the face of her wrath.

After a moment's hesitation, the more rational younger sister withdrew her knife and stepped aside.

"Please enter, King of the Black Nebula, and your retinue."

Seemingly to annoy Yueyan, she deliberately referred to Yueyan as Kuroyukihime's attendant.

Seeing her younger sister's actions, the older twin also put away her knife, stood aside, and solemnly repeated her sister's words.

Seemingly oblivious to the malice in their words, Yueyan smiled and waved to them before following Kuroyukihime into the [King's Meeting Room].

"What have you done to make the Blue King's right and left hands hate you so much?"

Upon entering the venue, Kuroyukihime quietly asked Tsukishiro a question. Kuroyukihime knew very well that she herself was also the one the twins referred to as "blaspheming the king's dignity," after all, she was the one who personally caused the first Red King to be forced out of the game.

Under normal circumstances, if those two, who were close confidants of the Blue King and valued rules highly, saw her, even if they didn't dare to make a move, they would definitely ask her a few questions or mock her.

But this time, Yueyan managed to draw all the hatred away by herself, which made Kuroyukihime curious.

Kuroyukihime's question was serious, but Tsukishiro's answer was flippant and rather teasing.

"Pfft, left and right hands? The left hand is for support, and the right hand is for lover. I didn't expect that Your Highness would be so knowledgeable."

Both Silver Raven and Deep Blue Stake understood Moon Rock's meaning. If it weren't for the fact that the mechanized imaginary entity had no skin, the two innocent young boys would definitely have blushed.

Kuroyukihime didn't understand Yueyan's dirty joke; she just stared at him intently without saying a word.

Seeing that Kuroyukihime's face didn't turn red as he had hoped, Tsukishiro curled his lip in boredom, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said flippantly,

"Oh, it's nothing really. I just used a trick to kill their leader, Blue King."

With a flippant laugh, Yueyan acted as if he didn't care at all, as if he had just killed a level one newbie. However, the people listening to him were so shocked that they forgot to walk and stood there dumbfounded, watching Yueyan continue to walk forward.

Of the three, Kuroyukihime herself is a king, and can be said to be the one who knows best how big the gap is between a level nine king and a level eight speedster.

Haruyuki Arita had been brutally defeated by the second-generation Red King earlier and was killed without any chance to fight back, so he was well aware of how terrifying the "King" was.

Before arriving in the Dark Nebula, the Deep Affection Pillar was a member of the Blue King's army, the Leonid Meteor Shower, and could be said to have grown up listening to the legends of the Blue King.

When the three heard that the Blue King had been killed, their first reaction was disbelief. They couldn't believe such a fantastical story; how could a king be killed by someone other than himself?

But upon further reflection, they realized that such a thing might not be impossible. Apart from their own king being killed, what else could cause the twins to shift their hatred away from Kuroyukihime, who killed the first Red King?

Thinking about it this way, the three of them looked at Yueyan with a strange expression. They exchanged glances and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes. They immediately stopped talking, quickened their pace, and caught up with Yueyan again.

The passageway wasn't long, and soon the group entered the conference hall. The first thing they saw was several brightly colored imaginary figures.

Desperate to revive his lover, the Purple King, upon seeing Kuroyukihime enter, didn't bother to check who was behind her. He slammed his scepter on the ground, creating a small crater, and shouted impatiently.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's get started!"

However, while the Purple King did not see Moon Rock, the Blue King, who had been killed by Moon Rock, could not possibly have missed him.

"Wait a minute, Black King, why is the Blasphemer here?"

Knowing that the Blue King was killed by Moon Rock, Kuroyukihime could understand his desire to tear Moon Rock apart. Under other circumstances, Kuroyukihime could be a little gentler towards him.

But at this moment, in front of all the kings, Kuroyukihime, who stands in opposition to all the kings, cannot show any weakness, otherwise she will only be met with an attack from several kings.

Therefore, Kuroyukihime raised her right hand, which had transformed into a sharp blade, and pointed it directly at the Blue King, saying without any politeness,

"I brought him here, do you have any objections?"

P.S., the reason I didn't update yesterday is simple: I had exams today, and I was busy studying yesterday, so I didn't have time to update. There are many exams coming up in the next few days, so this kind of thing will definitely happen again. Please don't think I've abandoned the project. Once the exams are over on the 13th, I'll be able to resume regular updates.

Chapter Nineteen: His Price

"Of course I have an opinion!"

Blue King slammed his fist on the table in front of him, smashing half of the table leg into the ground. He then turned to the petite, scarlet-red avatar sitting beside him and asked loudly,

"Red King, what about you! Don't you have any objections!?"

Blue King knew that, like himself, Red King had also been tricked by that damned blasphemer. Although he didn't know if Red King was dead or alive, the losses must have been severe.
