Kirito and Alice continue their journey through the Central Cathedral, facing numerous battles and obstacles. The next challenge they must face is the Integrity Knight Deusolbert Synthesis Seven, the Osmanthus Knight. Deusolbert is a formidable opponent, and Kirito and Alice realize that they must work together in order to defeat him.
As they engage in battle with Deusolbert, Kirito realizes that he knows the knight from his previous life. He remembers Deusolbert as a man who was once kind and gentle, but who was transformed into an Integrity Knight after losing his memories and being brainwashed by the Axiom Church. Kirito sympathizes with Deusolbert and tries to reach out to him, hoping to break through the brainwashing and restore his memories.
Meanwhile, Alice engages in battle with the Osmanthus Knight, using her powerful Sacred Arts to counteract his attacks. She realizes that Deusolbert is holding back, and that he is purposely avoiding landing a fatal blow. Alice is puzzled by this behavior, but Kirito has a hunch that Deusolbert is trying to protect them from the true enemy – the Administrator.
As the battle continues, Kirito’s memories of his past life become stronger, and he begins to remember his love for Asuna. These memories inspire him to fight harder and to protect Alice with all his strength. Together, Kirito and Alice manage to defeat Deusolbert, but they are left exhausted and wounded from the battle.
After the fight, Kirito and Alice come across a room filled with paintings and artwork. They are surprised to discover that the artwork depicts events from Kirito’s previous life, including his adventures with Asuna. Kirito realizes that the artwork was created by the Administrator, who seems to have been monitoring his movements and actions.
As they explore further, they come across a strange door that leads to a library. Inside the library, they find Administrator herself, waiting for them. The Administrator is surprised to see Kirito and congratulates him on making it so far. She explains that her ultimate goal is to create a perfect world where all humans are happy and free from suffering. However, in order to achieve this goal, she must first sacrifice the current world and all its inhabitants.
Kirito and Alice are horrified by the Administrator’s plan, and they refuse to let her sacrifice innocent people. They engage in battle with the Administrator, using all their strength and skills to try and defeat her. However, the Administrator proves to be a formidable opponent, and the battle seems to be going in her favor.
Just when all hope seems lost, Asuna suddenly appears, wielding her powerful Sacred Arts and fighting alongside Kirito and Alice. Asuna had been monitoring Kirito’s movements and had managed to find a way into the Central Cathedral. With Asuna’s help, Kirito and Alice are able to overcome the Administrator’s defenses and deal a powerful blow.
The Administrator is defeated, but her defeat comes at a great cost. The Central Cathedral begins to collapse, and Kirito, Alice, and Asuna must find a way to escape before they are buried beneath the rubble. As they make their way out, they come across the unconscious bodies of hundreds of people who had been trapped in the Cathedral by the Administrator.
Kirito and his friends manage to carry the unconscious people out of the Cathedral and into safety. They realize that their struggle is not over, and that they must continue to fight against the Axiom Church and its corrupt policies. However, they are stronger now than ever before, having gained new allies and a renewed sense of purpose.
