Massacre, killing, murdering. It's all 100% totally righteous if it is against bad guys right?

A large group of hooded men had gathered in a hidden cave somewhere on the 56th Floor. All of them had two things in common; the symbol they wore somewhere on their body and that they were murderers.

"For our Lord!"

After their leader had given a speech about how they needed to stop the players from advancing the floors, they all repeated his end words.

" " "For our Lord!" " "

However, all around them were figures hiding in the darkness. And they said the same, but their voices were obviously female and in contrast to the killers, one could feel the reverence and belief in their words.

" " "For our Lord!" " "

"For our Lord, nya~"

Meanwhile Asuna, Leafa, Sinon, Alice and Strea were somewhere inside the cave system as well.

"Asuna, are you sure about this?"

Yami and the Shadow Foxes had just disappeared without a word and after they asked Asuna about it, she told them something that shocked all of them.

"Yes. Yami and the Shadow Foxes are planning to end Laughing Coffin in this place today. Yami told me to keep silent about it since he didn't want any of you to worry. However, personally, I won't just stand by and do nothing while knowing that the man I love is fighting to the death at the moment. But that only applies to me, if you want to turn around, now is the time."

Alice and Strea didn't have any reaction to her words except for a warm feeling from knowing that Yami didn't want them to worry and he took the killing upon himself to keep them away from danger.

The ones really affected were Leafa and Sinon. However, it seemed that none of them were going to back down either.

"Yami helped me overcome my trauma and I'm already a killer anyways, it's better for me to dirty my hands again than to let Yami do all the killing. I personally know much it haunts you and I don't want Yami to experience that as well. And if Leafa doesn't back out, neither will I."

Sinon looked at Leafa and then at Asuna with a determined gaze. She knew what was going to happen, but she had made her resolve.

"If Sinon will face her fears again, I won't be the only one to run away. Although I'm scared of killing, Yami is in danger currently and I want to help him. We won't really have to kill them, just restraining them would be enough, right?"

Although Leafa had determination in her voice as well, one could notice that she was shaking a bit, even if she suppressed it. She hoped that she wouldn't have to kill someone, but things won't be that easy.

Asuna turned around and walked towards the place Yami had told her, thus the others couldn't notice the slight smile on her face. That was easier than she thought it was going to be. It was probably because they were blinded by their feelings, mostly their feelings for Yami. If Leafa and Sinon didn't have another, they might not have as much courage.

Of course this was all part of Yami's "test". Asuna was a bit happy and at the same time mad that none backed out. Happy since she couldn't deny that they were already something akin to her friends. And mad that there would probably soon be more girls around Yami. Although Eve had "convinced" her to agree with the whole harem thing, she still didn't like how he picked up girls like Pokemon. But Eve had also warned her that there were going to be a lot more girls. If she couldn't agree with that, she couldn't be Yami's lover. That was an ultimatum that had no other option and thus she just came to terms with it.

Still, since she was already behind the other women in the race for Yami's affection, she was going to work hard to make Yami value her more and get him to spend more time with her.

Well, the moment she was going to come out of Yami's bed, those thoughts were going to change a "bit" since she would break if she took on Yami's whole "affection" all on her own. They needed a lot of girls to even fight with Yami, just one alone was going to suffer the most pleasurable loss ever.

As they got nearer and nearer to the location, they could already hear the sound of metal clashing against metal and the shouts of both sides that said the exact same words;

" "For our lord!" "

In front of them was a big cave which had platforms floating above ground and a lot of people fighting.

No, it wasn't a fight. It was a massacre.

However, before they could properly come to terms with the situation, two cloaked figures were falling down towards them. They were thrown down from one of the floating platforms. The two quickly got up and pointed their axe and rapier at the five.

"That one is mine."

Asuna stepped forward and the two wielders of rapiers began battling. Well, Asuna had the upper hand while the Laughing Coffin member tried to hold on for dear life.

The other killer noticed the hesitation in Sinon and Leafa and decided that this was his chance. They really didn't stand any chance against these beasts from hell that looked like cute animal girls. At least he was going to take these girls with him.

He swung his axe at them, Leafa to be precise. But his swing was blocked by Strea's greatsword.

"If you are just going to freeze, then get out of here, nya~. If you can't even survive by yourself, how do you plan to follow our lord nya~."

The person who just attacked them shattered into shards. He was killed by a girl with long white haired girl, golden eyes and white cat ears. The cat girl was looking deep into Leafa's eyes. Then she shifted her focus over to Sinon and scoffed before turning around, not even giving them a second glance.

Leafa clenched her fists. The words that the white haired girl had said to her dug deep. Especially since these words were right. This was a life and death game, she would have been killed by the other person if she wasn't saved just now. What use were her fragile morales in this world?

"Die!"

Suddenly another cloaked figure shot towards them at high speed. This one had a lance, he was aiming for Sinon's head.

The spear was coming closer and closer. Sinon wanted to dodge the tip, but she was able to react in time. However, the tip was slashed to the side by a sword, barely passing by Sinon's head.

"I won't let you kill her!"

Adrenaline rushed through Leafa. At this moment, nothing mattered to her anymore. The one in front of her wanted to murder her best frined. Hanekawa's words had impacted her more than even she herself knew. The spear was withdrawn and thrust forward again, but this time towards Leafa's chest.

Her body reacted almost instinctively. She had fought against enough monsters, she could already do the moves in her sleep. Instead of dodging or retreating, she took a step forward as well, parried the attack by swinging her sword from her down left to her upper body and now the murderer in front of her was wide open. She changed the grip on her sword and stabbed the being in front of her. At that moment, she didn't see him as a human being, but only something that had tried to kill her and her best friend, like all those monsters on the different floors.

Only as one of the blue splitters touched her did her adrenaline calm down a bit and she knew what she had just done. Leafa collapsed onto her knees. Her brain was screaming at her "You just killed a human!". Tears started to form in her eyes.

But suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. One that was gipping her more and more tightly. Until that grip forcefully pulled her up again.

"Stand! I know what you are going through. Believe me, nobody knows it better. But we are in a battlefield. The girl was right, if we want to stay by Yami's side, we have to help him. He is currently battling with these people to save the lives of others and to avenge the ones they murdered."

Sinon looked her deep into her watery eyes. Not only Leafa, it seemed that Sinon had been affected by Hanekawa's words as well. She was reminded of the moment when Yami held her in his arms in the forest on the 35th Floor. That time Yami was there for her and helped her overcome her trauma. Now it was her time to help Leafa and support Yami.

She needed to take the lead and kill these murderers, so that Yami and Leafa didn't have to dirty their hands. She was already a murderer anyways.

As a show of her seriousness, Sinon drew back an arrow under the gaze of Leafa and shot it towards a man with a knife in hand that was currently battling a happy looking cat girl with long orange hair.

The arrow pierced right through his skull and with the additional damage, Eris only needed to hit him once more to kill him.

Even as she killed people she still retained her cheerful personality. For her and all the other demi-humans, there was no problem with killing criminals if they were ordered by their lord.

Leafa and Sinon had found their resolve to fight. Strea and Alice were already assisting the Shadow Foxes in taking down the Laughing Coffin members. For them, they didn't have any complaints since those people were murderers and wanted to kill them as well. And Asuna was having her "fun" killing people. It seemed that her Abridged side had taken over completely at the moment.

The whole scene within the cave was really nothing but a massacre. The only strange thing was the blonde haired crusader who was trying to get hit by as many attacks as possible which was actually a big challenge since she needed to find an enemy that wasn't already dead.

The demi-humans had received the orders of no prisoners. Yami wouldn't let them go back into the real world. Actually, this was nothing but problem prevention since Yami didn't want to deal with them if he came back to SAO after reaching level 100 and unlocking world-travel.

Thus he was mostly using his bow to make sure that nobody escaped and nothing problematic would happen. But he would also easily kill any Laughing Coffin member that was insane enough to even come close to him.

A few of the Laughing Coffin members were almost killed and then pushed towards the SAO girls. This was a test for all the girls, whether they could murder another human. If they weren't able to do that, it would become problematic to take them with him. And strangely enough, the murder would tie them closer to Yami.

Alice clashed swords with a person who had white hair and a two handed greatsword. Their weapons were interlocked and both pushed. They put more and more strength into their weapons.

Suddenly Alice twisted her sword, letting the enemy blade slide along hers till it crashed into the ground. Because the counterbalance was suddenly gone and his sword slammed into a hard surface with almost all his might, he was thrown off balance. Alice used this chance and used a sword skill to slash at him.

The Laughing Coffin member was thrown away. But as he got up, his whole body suddenly froze up as he felt a blade against his neck.

"Good night."

Mikasa slashed through the neck, ending his pitiful life. She didn't feel much about killing someone. In the world she came from only survival counted and she had already seen too many deaths, the deaths of her comrades.

With two blades in hand, she once again rushed into the fray to look for any surviving Laughing Coffin members.

Esdeath was having the time of her life killing the enemies of her master. Her sadistic personality came back to light on the occasion.

Raphtalia was currently overwhelming a certain red haired woman who had insulted her previously. Rosalia tried to block Raphtalia's slash with her spear, but she wasn't able to put up any resistance in the face of Raphtaila's overwhelming power.

"You bitch!"

She screamed and tried stabbing the one she just called "bitch", but Raphtalia just dodged her spear without any effort and stabbed right into her chest.

As she looked down at her chest, the last thought in Rosalia's mind was that Raphtalia really had way greater assets than herself.

If the players wouldn't just dissipate, corpses would have littered the ground. However, in this whole battle, the only ones getting killed were the killers from Laughing Coffin. Not even a single one of the demi-humans had fallen. Most of them didn't even have a scratch on them.

Yami cracked his neck, let go of his bow and took out one sword. Without even looking he put his sword behind himself.

The axe that was swung at his back was blocked.

"It's showtime. Is it?"

The leader of the Laughing Coffin, PoH/Jeffrey quickly retreated after his attack had failed. He had waited all this time for the perfect moment, but somehow this monster was still able to block him! Without even looking at him!

Both of them stared into each other's eyes, ready to fight to the death. Unexpectedly, Yami opened his mouth to ask a strange question.

"Do you know the Trolley Problem? You have the choice between killing one person or five people, what are you going to do?"

PoH was a bit dumbfounded by this strange, out of place, question, but he responded with a crazy look on his face.

"Ke, ke, ke, I would first let the trolly kill the five and then kill the last one myself!"

At these words, he shot towards Yami. He swung his axe/cleaver at his face while activating a Sword Skill to deal more damage.

Yami leaned his head to his side while grabbing PoH's wrist, making him unable to move his cleaver any further downwards. While the weapon was being held in place, Yami slashed at him with the sword he held in his right hand.

The leader was able to free himself from Yami's superhuman grip and tried slashing Yami's shoulder, but Yami jumped back a bit, avoiding his strike. Now both of them stared into each other's eyes again. Yami was still unharmed while PoH had already lost 1/8 of his HP.

"Are you even human?"

Even the crazy murderer couldn't help but ask. This person in front of him was ridiculous. The reaction time and skill he had in fighting wasn't the only thing that made him doubt that this person in front of him was human. It was the fact that he, a hardened killer, was afraid of the killer in front of him. As he had been a professional killer even in the real world, he was well aware of who was good in the field of murder. And the person in front of him… He was like a god of death. It was like the aura of death surrounded him.

"How… How many people have you killed?!"

This aura was something only those who had killed a lot of people had. And the look in Yami's eyes. This cold gaze. This disregard for human life. The indifference even as he tried to kill. This was something that he had only seen once in his life. It was a man that was sentenced to death because he had killed over 300 people. But the aura that that man had was nothing in comparison to the monster in front of him. The "aura" of death that surrounded him was like a whole ocean while the aura of the murderer of over 300 people was like a water drop in comparison.

The hardened murderer was sweating all over as he faced this death-god. His intuition and senses were screaming at him that he was going to die!

Yami squinted his eyes. His face contorted in pain as he held his head with his hands. His whole body was shuddering.

The Prince of Hell didn't know what happened to make the monster in front of his eyes react like that, but he also knew that this was his only chance.

PoH was certain that he was going to die. But there was no way that he could flee. Nearly every single one of the Laughing Coffin members had died and these bloodthirsty girls from hell were already staring at him as if he was a dead man. Right now, as Yami was distracted for some reason, was his only chance.

He used a sword skill focused on speed and appeared in front of Yami within not even a second. His axe was raised up and swung down right at Yami's brain.

"Die!"

PoH's had a different meaning to them than they would normally have. Right this moment he was praying to his god that he could kill this monster in front of him. He needed to defeat this monster in front of him or he would die. That's what his senses told him.

"Interesting…"

The blade of the axe cut into flesh.

"Really interesting…"

The eyes of PoH widened and then contracted. The cleaver was stuck in Yami's arm as he had used both of them as shields above his head.

One could see the pain of Yami's face. But he had a strange smile on his face as well.

Yami kicked PoH in his stomach, sending him flying right into the wall of the cave.

All the demi-humans had bloodshot eyes as they wanted to hack the leader into pieces. He had dared to hurt their lord!

Just as he barely managed to get up again, he could see the blade heading his way. PoH moved his body to the side, but his arm was still cleaved off from his body. He tried to run away, but his leg was cut off the next second.

"God, please no!"

The leader of the strongest crime-guild in SAO was laying on the floor with terror in his eyes. He looked up into the red eyes of death.

"God isn't that kind."

With these words, Yami simultaneously stabbed one sword into PoH's head and the other into his heart. The HP drained from him and while looking at the god of death in front of him with terrified eyes, his brain was fried by the Nerve Gear.

Yami turned around. All the other members of Laughing Coffin had been killed by now. Leafa and Sinon were in a corner, both hugging each other. But none of them cried, puked or anything, their willpower was commendable.

{Dear, are you alright?}

(... Yeah. I'm gonna send Leafa, Sinon, Strea and Alice over to you in a moment. Or should I wait for a bit longer?)

{No, the faster the better. If they are still in shock it makes things easier for me.}

Yami walked over to the SAO girls. Asuna was proudly standing there, bickering with Hanekawa who killed the most people. Strea was having a chat with Chocola and Alice was happily talking with Eris about Yami's godly cooking. Senko wanted to help Sinon and Leafa but didn't know how.

"How about we go home?"

Yami created a portal and the demi-humans walked through it. Strea was looking at it with interest while Alice was shooting Yami a questioning gaze.

"It's quite simple; I'm giving you a choice. If you want to follow me, then step through the portal to Paradise. If you don't want to, then you can leave this place. I will explain everything once you are on the other side of the portal. So, what is it going to be?"

Straight forward was the best method to tackle this.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Strea just happily jumped into the portal. She wanted to know what this "Paradise" was that Yami mentioned and she had already chosen to follow Yami anyways. What was there to hesitate about?

Alice looked at the portal, over to Yami and then back at the portal. Seemingly having found her resolve, she walked over to Yami.

"Yami… I…"

She had a blush on her cheeks and fidgeted around. She couldn't find the courage to look him in the eyes and tell him how she truly felt. Then she remembered something Strea had told her previously; "Actions speak louder than words."

Alice raised her head with determination in her eyes, grabbed Yami's cheeks and kissed his lips. The kiss only lasten for a few seconds and after that, she immediately ran away into the portal since she was too embarrassed and nervous to face Yami.

[The constellation "God is a girl" is giving a thumbs up to her sister.]

Sinon and Leafa were still in each other's embrace. Yami decided to give them some more time to calm down and breathe. They were the only ones with a "normal" reaction to killing another human.

However… Asuna seemed to have other plans. She took both of them and just threw them into the portal by force. And then stepped in after them.

Yami just shook his head and followed after them.

"Papa!"

The moment he walked through he could see Yui run over to him. She had just been looking at the unconscious Strea and Alice who were already being carried away by the demi-human girls.

Yami startet stroking Yui's hair and in response she closed her eyes with a blissful and happy expression.

(Now that this is taken care of, only clearing the game is left.)

[The constellation "God-father" wants to go back to the main-world.]

[The constellation "God-father" is starting to manipulate Probability.]

He wasn't sure what was going to happen, but Yami was sure that God was probably planning something like what happened in the anime: That Yami would have to fight Heathcliff and thus end the game faster.

Yami didn't have any problem with that, all the important girls were now already in Paradise. His fighting abilities had increased by leaps and bounds. The thing he really needed to learn now was to fight With his abilities that were currently sealed. Well, he was already highly proficient with his wings and Ice-magic since he "practiced" together with Mikasa and Esdeath within Paradise.

"Papa, I want to look after Strea, can I?"

Yui looked at him with puppy eyes. There was really no way to refuse her right now. Yami just nodded and Yui happily ran after the girls, towards Yami's mansion. The girls would be placed in a room within his mansion in the meantime until they decide where they wanted to live.

"God, can we talk about the reward for speedrunning SAO? I have a proposition."

[The constellation "God-father" is smiling.]

"Can I have Aincrad?"

[The constellation "God-father" is smiling.]

"Is that a yes?"

[The constellation "God-father" is smiling.]

"..."

[...]

"Are you serious?"

[The constellation "God-father" is smiling while saying that you are no fun.]

"Okay, whatever. I will see this as you agreeing."

Aincrad was the perfect way to train new recruits and let the girls level up and thus become stronger. Actual battles and fighting experience were rare in the "civilized" main-world. There were indeed a lot of conflicts, but Aincrad was just perfect for it.

Yami went to his mansion as well. He still wanted to recover from the head ache he got and he knew that God wanted him to hurry up and finish the floors. Thus he needed to be in good form.

He opened the door to his room. What greeted him was the sight of Mikasa, Tsunade, Esdeath and Raphtalia. Hanekawa, Eris, Chocola, Vanilla and Darkness were there as well. All of them were almost or completely naked.

They all looked sexy as fuck and Yami's big brother reacted immediately, threatening to burst out of his pants.

(Okay. To hell with sleep, this night is still young!)

After that the room was filled with moans of pure pleasure. Mixed in there were many "More!", "Yami-sama please pound me harder!", "Please! Hit me harder!", and a lot more.

- - -

On the 100th Floor meanwhile one could see bugs and lags all around the place, one place specifically; Quinella's room. Probability was floating around her as she was pondering what to do about Yami and the Shadow Foxes.

"I can't let this go on! If they finish the game, I will just be gone! I still need more time to get out of this game! But I can't do anything to them through the system… The only way is to personally deal with this."

She turned around to Kayaba.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
