"Bloom, Blue Rose--!!"

Having been imprisoned in the Central Cathedral's Axiom Church, Eugeo and Kazuto barely managed to escape on the part of the latter's plan.

Eugeo wished to return the Integrity Knight, Alice, to her original state, and Kirito wished to avoid the destruction of the Underworld. (By these wishes, ) they sought to speak with the High Priestess 'Administrator' at the top floor of the Central Cathedral, under the instruction of Cardinal hiding inside the isolated Great Library Room.

Only after meeting the twin Knights-in-training, the 《Conflagrant Flame Bow》user Deusolbert, and the sub-commander of the Knights, 《Heaven Piercing Sword》wielder Fanatio and beating them all were Kirito and Eugeo able to meet the Osmanthus Integrity Knight, Alice.

But due to Alice and Kirito using their 《Armament Full Control Arts》which destroyed the Cathedral walls, they have since been trapped on its outside. Even so, still believing that his partner will survive, Eugeo continued to ascend the Cathedral. But blocking his way is the oldest and strongest Integrity Knight, Berculi Synthesis One. Facing the rumoured swordsman that he has always wanted to meet since young, Eugeo then drew his Blue Rose Sword.

On the other side of the Cathedral's walls, Kirito finally climbed up and over with the hopes of meeting up with his partner still inside the tower. But- wearing the full armour of the Integrity Knights, Eugeo suddenly appeared, meeting Kirito with only an ice-cold stare--!
