Bori Shrine.
"... That's the gist of it. Therefore, I wish to rebuild the floating city of Aincrad. I hope that everyone can help me."
Eight Cloud Ink looked at the row of people in front of her with a sincere smile.
"I think you won't be disappointed in this interesting place of Aincrad," Lucien said.
"A digitalized floating city?" Patrice lowered her head and pondered over the feasibility of this matter.
"Sounds interesting …" Yonglin looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a smile, "I didn't think that a little fellow like you would have such an idea."
"It won't cause any trouble for me, right?" Princess Ling Meng was very dissatisfied. She had been sunbathing in the shrine, but this monster had brought a large group of people over to discuss matters. "It wasn't easy to build the shrine. If anything happens, you'll be the first to retreat!"
"Sigh, Ling Meng, isn't this a fun thing? You only know how to sweep the floor, drink tea, and sunbathe in the shrine all day long. This kind of life is too decadent! "
After listening to Eight-cloud Ink's plan, Marisa fell into a state of excitement.
"Hey, little brother from the Yakumo family, is there anything that I can help with?"
"Muq, you're just a black and white mouse. Most of your magic is offensive. You don't know any functional magic. What can you do to help?"
Patrice sipped her tea while rolling her eyes at Marisa.
"This is the first time I've seen a magic that's so biased in one area."
Marisa laughed. What Patrice said was true. Marisa indeed didn't know any functional magic.
"Hehehe … hehehe …"
Wenwen was taking pictures with her camera and writing something down in a notebook.
"This news is enough for me to write for a month!"
"So, what do the two of you think?"
Seeing that most of the people agreed, Eight-cloud Ink turned to Sensei and Laozi.
"Amitabha …"
After coming to the Fantasy Village, Sensei restrained his arrogance and became more like a virtuous senior monk.
"... Benefactor Yakumo, if you need this old monk's help, feel free to ask."
Laozi nodded and smiled. "Good, good."
"Then, it's decided!"
Eight-cloud Ink clapped its hands.
"Let us rebuild Aincrad!"
○
In the sky above the open space between the Bori Shrine and the Magic Forest in the Land of Fantasy.
Eight-cloud Ink closed his eyes and began to slowly take out the seed that Kayaba Akihiko had given him.
Eight-cloud Ink's jade-like forehead began to emit a soft golden light. A diamond-shaped crystal began to slowly emerge from Eight-cloud Ink's forehead and finally floated in the air in front of him.
"This is it!"
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the thumb-sized diamond-shaped crystal.
"This is the seed of the world!"
In his spirit sea, the Fantasy Sapling trembled and let out a clear cry.
Eight-cloud Ink pointed at the crystal, and the crystal immediately turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.
Then, a huge shadow of a floating city that almost covered the entire Fantasyland appeared above everyone's heads.
Because it was an illusion, sunlight could still shine through the floating city and onto the ground.
"So … big …"
Marisa rode on a magic broom and pressed on her pointed hat with one hand. She raised her head and looked at the huge Aincrad in a daze.
"No wonder —"
Patrice chuckled.
"— No wonder you wanted us to use Space Magic to rebuild it. If such a huge floating city floated above the Fantasyland, the sunlight would be completely blocked."
"It just so happens that I have some insights from the 103,000 Magic Books that I got from that little nun. Let's give it a try!"
When the floating city appeared, almost everyone in the Fantasyland saw its existence. For a moment, the monsters that didn't know about this matter began to make a fuss.
Looking at the monsters flying over one after another, Eight-cloud Ink said: "Wenwen, Marisa, and Lingmeng, can I trouble you to explain this matter first?"
"No problem!"
"Leave it to me DA ☆ ZE!"
"Tsk, so troublesome … We have to pay after this!"
After Lingmeng and the other two went to maintain order, Eight-cloud Ink said to Eight-Will Yonglin and the others: "Everyone, I'll leave the rest to you!"
"After this matter is over, you must come to the Forever Pavilion to test my potions."
Eight-Will Yonglin teased as he set up a Magic Formation.
On the other side, Patrice had already begun to concentrate on mobilizing the Magic in her body.
Sensei and Laozi had begun to work together to open up a different dimension from the Fantasyland. They were preparing to place the floating city inside after it was completed.
This dimension was different from the one in the Forbidden Magic Formation, where there was no concept of time and space. With the help of the other monsters in Fantasy Village, there was almost no difference between the alternate space opened up this time and the original world of Fantasy Village. Moreover, anyone could enter and exit at will.
Because of the huge amount of work, even with Eight-Will Yonglin and Patrice's Magic Attainments, it took them half a day to set up the Magic Formation.
During this period, Eight-cloud Ink was relying on her own power to maintain the existence of the illusion.
When night fell, Eight-cloud Ink was already sweating profusely. Just as she was about to collapse, the Magic Formation was finally completed.
"It's done!"
After Ashina and Narako carried the almost exhausted Eight-cloud Ink back, Eight-Will Yonglin and Patrice activated the Magic Formation.
Suddenly, with the floating city as the center of the entire sky, circles of halos began to disperse in all directions.
The illusion gradually solidified and finally turned into a real floating city under the shocked gazes of all the monsters.
"Leave the rest to this poor priest and the rest!"
Laozi and Sensei began to exert their strength. The previously opened entrance to the dimension began to expand and gradually swallowed the floating city.
Before everyone's eyes, the floating city slowly turned into an illusion and began to shrink. Finally, it stopped when it was so small that it wouldn't affect the Fantasyland too much.
"That's good …"
Seeing that Aincrad was finally completed, Eight-cloud Ink chuckled softly.
"Although it looks like it's floating in the sky, it's actually in another dimension. That's why you won't be able to see the floating city on the ground. At the same time, as long as you fly in the direction of the illusion, you'll be able to enter Aincrad smoothly. If you want to leave, you'll just have to jump down from the edge of the floating city …"
For the Fantasyland where everyone could fly, this method of entering and leaving was too simple.
Then, seeing that the monsters were about to head to Aincrad, Eight-cloud Ink said, "Please wait a moment. Let me explain the characteristics of Aincrad."
"Hmm? Is there anything strange about it? "
Since it was already night time, Remilia, who was flying freely in the night sky, was the first to ask.
"It's like this. Aincrad is a world of data after all, so when you enter it, your strength will be suppressed to a basic level. At the same time, everything will be digitized. If you want to increase your strength, you'll have to fight monsters like in the real world. Also, you won't have to worry about accidentally dying. If you die, your data will be reset to zero, and you won't be harmed in any way."
The more Eight-cloud Ink explained, the brighter Kaguya and Katsuko's eyes became.
After he finished speaking, Hui Ye exclaimed, "This is so much fun!!"
For Neet Hime, a game like this was undoubtedly a huge temptation.
Fujiwara Meihong suddenly crossed her arms and said to Kaguya, "You damn otaku, let's fight in that floating city!"
"You think I'm scared of you, Turkey? Come at me! "
"I'll make sure you're convinced this time!"
The two bickering foes flew towards Aincrad first.
With Kaguya and Meihong taking the lead, the monsters immediately flew towards Aincrad.
Eight-cloud Ink, Ashina, and Narako looked at each other and smiled. Just as they were about to say something, a clear chirp suddenly sounded.
From the floating city's direction, a small white dot began to rapidly approach.
When Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina saw the white dot clearly, their eyes widened.
"White!?"
Yes, the white dot flying towards them was Eight-cloud Ink's bound pet in SAO, Nine-Tailed Fox White.
