In the end, Elena decided to say goodbye to her father. She told her father about the agreement she had made with that great person. Hearing about Elena's agreement, the old man didn't say much, only telling Elena to take good care of herself, and then prepared to continue living alone in this house.
Although Elena didn't say anything, she could probably guess what he was worried about from the worried expression on his face along the way.
Elena was worried about her father, and Roa said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll help you solve your father's problem. This place isn't very safe after all. I'll get a small house for your father and let him live in the town. The security in the town is much better."
Elena's expression then softened.
However, compared to the Elena of the past, the current Elena seemed to have changed a lot.
It seemed that this incident had been quite a blow to her. But that was also true. Even after gaining power, she had still walked through the gates of hell.
After resolving her father's matter, Roa brought Elena to Philip again the next day and explained the situation to him, but he specifically added at the end, "By the way, this is my person. Can you arrange a room for her?"
Philip's expression didn't change, and he looked at Roa with a strange smile. Roa knew that this was because he wanted something in return. After all, the old man's matter could be resolved through Paul's connections, but this matter would depend on how much sincerity Roa was willing to show. Roa appropriately said, "Of course, I will seriously teach Eris well during my tenure."
Philip shook his head. He said, "You know that's not what I want. Moreover, teaching Eris well during your tenure is your duty."
Roa thought for a moment and said, "Then, I promise to help you complete a task to the best of my ability. But you also know that this favor isn't very big. You're only providing a small convenience. Please be mindful of the requests you make. If I find it difficult, I will go back on my word."
Philip then revealed a satisfied smile. After arranging a decent room for her, he patted Roa on the shoulder and said some words of thanks.
Honestly, Roa didn't really like characters like Philip. He always gave him a sinister feeling, and he always felt that he was plotting something.
He took her over, gave her a set of clean clothes, and planned to teach her for half a year before sending her to carry out his mission.
Rudeus's eyes lit up when he saw the little white-haired girl.
Basically, Rudeus had zero tolerance for pretty girls.
It could be seen that the white hair and red eyes aesthetic had a very wide appeal.
After settling the little white-haired loli, the rest was just a calm and uneventful daily life.
Teaching Eris math, magic, and then learning swordsmanship with Ghislaine.
In his spare time, he would take time to teach the white-haired girl. Since she was, strictly speaking, his person, it was naturally impossible for her to learn swordsmanship with Ghislaine. And since he was, strictly speaking, a private tutor hired by Eris, he was too embarrassed to put her and Eris together.
Moreover, the white-haired girl was intelligent, at least more so than Eris. If he rashly put the two together, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
So Roa decided to teach the two separately.
But for some reason, he always felt that his little brother had a lot of thoughts about the cabbage he had picked up from the wild, and would often show up to make his presence known, which gave Roa a headache.
Roa really wanted to tell Rudeus that he already had a wife and couldn't be so greedy, but when he thought of Asuna in another world, he felt that he was no longer qualified to say those words.
Fortunately, the little white-haired girl was loyal to the Roa Church and didn't even look at Rudeus, which made Roa feel a little better.
Unfortunately, he hadn't given up and kept pestering Roa for her tutoring position, and Rudeus's reasons were also very good.
He said, "Roa, you must be very tired from teaching Miss Eris every day, right? Then, I'll take care of that Miss Elena for you?"
After saying that, he winked at Roa sincerely.
Roa felt disgusted and ultimately couldn't stand his nagging, so he had to warn him, "Elena's personality isn't as good as you think. Be careful."
After saying that, he ignored Rudeus.
Rudeus was overjoyed when he heard this. Then, he learned what a little hooligan was.
The next day, looking at Rudeus with a swollen cheek, Roa shook his head secretly.
Naturally, the task of teaching her fell on Roa's head again.
Time flew by like water, and the days without being able to show off passed in a flash.
Daily life was like this, and almost a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
And finally, the SAO world was about to end.
At this moment of witnessing history, Roa personally went online and knocked down the final 90th floor BOSS.
It was a burly and ferocious giant dragon. As it fell to the ground and its HP reached zero, the crowd cheered with joy.
Finally, after four years, had they finally reached this step?
Everyone's faces showed joyful smiles.
In the end, Kirigaya Naoki still joined Kayaba Akihiko's team. His idea was actually very simple. As long as his hand speed was fast and his attack power was high, it wasn't too much to steal a kill, right?
Anyway, he had the Battoujutsu, this unique skill. His set of skills plus Berserk was equal to a small burst of damage in a team fight. Kirigaya Naoki used this move to steal a lot of kills.
As for monopolizing the loot, he would just hand it over for distribution after the battle. Of course, he would keep the good stuff. Anyway, the stuff was with him, and he had the right to keep a few pieces of equipment with his contribution.
Roa was now standing in front of the giant dragon with a calm expression. His gaze was on the information displayed on the system panel.
[You have successfully defeated the 90th floor BOSS]
[Your passive, Soul Eater, has been activated]
[Special task: Completed. The task will be issued upon return.]

[If you can completely clear SAO, the world coordinates of SAO will be recorded by the system. You will receive one opportunity to adjust the time flow between the world and the main world by consuming Chronos Power.]
There were many messages from the system, but Roa didn't continue to look at them. Instead, he controlled Kirigaya Naoki to look at Heathcliff, who was at the head with a calm expression.
Kirigaya Naoki said coldly, "What, are you still pretending? What should I call you? Heathcliff? Kayaba Akihiko?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Almost everyone turned their attention to Kirigaya Naoki.
And at this time, Kirigaya Naoki also had the confidence to confront the cheater in front of him head-on.
For no other reason than all his current attributes.

Heathcliff turned his gaze to Roa, a strange expression on his face, and looked at Roa with feigned incomprehension. He said directly, "What do you mean by this?"
Roa spoke again, "I've felt that something was wrong with you from the beginning. You're actually Kayaba Akihiko, aren't you?"
Kirigaya Naoki's words were like a powder keg, causing a huge uproar in the crowd. Everyone looked at Kirigaya Naoki and Heathcliff with different expressions, but more of them were actually scrutinizing Kirigaya Naoki.
Soon, some voices of doubt emerged from the team. Those people shouted, "Roa, what makes you say that Heathcliff is Kayaba Akihiko, and why say it at this time? We're about to see the real BOSS together. Could it be that you're a spy sent by Kayaba Akihiko, trying to divide us?"
Kirigaya Naoki's mouth twitched when he heard what the other party said, but he found that he really couldn't refute them.
The main reason he wanted to confront the other party head-on was to avoid a group fight, and another reason was for the system's task.
Now, he had obtained everything, and even if he died, he didn't need to worry so much.
Heathcliff, however, revealed a hearty smile. He laughed, "I don't know how you saw through me, or if my disguise is so easy to see through? But none of that matters anymore. Since you've seen through me, then let's begin."
After speaking, Heathcliff turned his gaze to Kirigaya Naoki again, his fingers bringing up the panel and starting to click on it.
Kirigaya Naoki didn't want to give the other party time to summon GM privileges. Kirigaya Naoki directly drew his sword from its sheath. The sword in Kirigaya Naoki's hand at this time was no ordinary object. Its name was Moxie, and he had forged it himself with materials he had saved up. Its only characteristic was sharpness.
Extreme sharpness, capable of easily piercing the scales of a dragon, and capable of easily shattering any shield used by warriors.
And when Moxie was in Kirigaya Naoki's hands, it was a truly terrifying killing move.
Moxie's Sword turned into a stream of light. This sword was unbelievably fast. No one present saw how Kirigaya Naoki drew it. The slash landed on Heathcliff, but strangely, accompanied by a crisp collision sound, a purple barrier flashed in front of Heathcliff.
"This is…?"
Kirigaya Naoki naturally recognized this phenomenon. This was the phenomenon presented when the system was protecting an object.
And now, Heathcliff was being protected by the system.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Heathcliff's voice entered Kirigaya Naoki's ears.
"I've always had the system's protection. Any attack that would cause my HP bar to enter the yellow alert zone will be blocked."
This was the truth behind why Heathcliff's HP bar had never entered the yellow zone until now.
But now, Kirigaya Naoki was in a headache. What should he do now?
"Let the final act come early," Heathcliff said in a cold tone.
In an instant, Kirigaya Naoki's lv3 Sword Heart instantly saw through Heathcliff's movements, and time was infinitely stretched here.
If he attacked at this time, his slash would definitely be able to hit the other party, but so what?
He would never be the other party's opponent after all. Thinking of this, Kirigaya Naoki clicked his tongue, secretly thinking that a privilege dog was troublesome.
Heathcliff's finger landed on the turntable, and a blue light appeared on Kirigaya Naoki's body.
Kirigaya Naoki's eyes suddenly narrowed. What was the privilege dog trying to do with Transfer?
Asuna suddenly rushed towards Roa, and Kirito was the same, but all of this happened too suddenly. Before Asuna could reach Kirigaya Naoki, Kirigaya Naoki's body had completely turned into blue light and dissipated.
When Kirigaya Naoki opened his eyes again, he no longer saw the scenery of the 0th floor sky and earth, but the 100th floor.
This was a red palace. Compared to the 0th floor BOSS floor, this floor was mediocre in every way, but it was here that Kirigaya Naoki had to face the most difficult person he had ever faced.
Privilege dog, oh no, the Creator God (fake) Heathcliff!
Blood-like red floor tiles, surrounded by tall pillars, supporting the eaves above to an unknown height. Magnificent? Maybe, there was a little bit of that feeling.
But more than that, it gave people a feeling of extreme killing intent. The surrounding palaces were all this blood-like color, and the overall atmosphere gave people an evil feeling.
This was the location of the floor boss on the 100th floor of Aincrad - the "Ruby Palace".
But when facing the person in front of him, Kirigaya Naoki felt somewhat helpless. How could a mortal stand shoulder to shoulder with a god?
He wasn't Ryougi Shiki, who possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. This was probably going to be a loss.
Kirigaya Naoki's hand subconsciously gripped the hilt of Moxie again. The purple Sword was slender and slender. When this sword was drawn, it gave people the feeling of purple lightning.
Kirigaya Naoki stared directly at Heathcliff and said with a hint of sarcasm, "So, Kayaba Akihiko, you wouldn't just use GM privileges to easily defeat a junior like me, would you?"
Indeed, as Kirigaya Naoki said, if the other party kept putting a lock-blood official cheat on him, he wouldn't have to think about how to win against him.
Heathcliff, oh, no, he should be called Kayaba Akihiko.
Kayaba Akihiko said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand. I never intended to play such a disgusting trick. Although I am a GM, and I did use administrator privileges to obtain the Holy Sword skill, this is a reasonable range of enhancement as the final boss character. As for the skill's proficiency, I practiced it myself bit by bit. I never tampered with the skills. The levels, equipment, and items on my body were all obtained by my own hands. None of them are fake."
Kirigaya Naoki snorted disdainfully, "Just tell me if you cheated or not?"
