Sword Art Online

The war against the Dark Territory rages on as countless players swarm the Underworld’s servers, throwing the Human Empire into turmoil. Asuna Yuuki and her allies fight desperately to protect their new friends, but their forces are dwindling. At the same time, Alice Zuberg makes her way to the World’s End Altar, with Gabriel "Vecta" Miller hot on her trail. Back in the real world, Rath’s team works to repair Kirito’s damaged fluctlight, but the intruders in the control room have their own agenda. Amidst death and despair, when all seems lost, a familiar voice reaches Kirito-one that whispers, "I will always be by your side." This is the final chapter of Akihiko Kayaba’s vision of artificial human intelligence. Kirito and his friends must now save this crumbling world from those who still treat it as nothing more than a game.
