Welcome to the Sword Art Online Wikia and this is your introduction to Sword Art Online Volume 17, Alicization Awakening. In this video, we will briefly cover the timeline, main locations and key characters of Volume 17 and thus the video will feature minor spoilers from Alicization Awakening.

Sword Art Online Volume 17, Alicization Awakening, is the third volume of Alicization’s War of Underworld sub-arc and continues the events from the previous volume without any time skips. The events primarily take place in the Dark Territory to the south of the Great Eastern Gate; however, the places explored to the south are quite varied. There are also scenes that take place closer to the ravine where the Great Eastern Gate once stood, as well as perspectives from the Ocean Turtle and ALfheim Online.

As the situation of the Human Guardian Army was about to take a turn for the worse, Lisbeth the pink-haired Leprechaun Blacksmith took the stage in one of the biggest gatherings ALfheim Online had ever seen. The dedicated players of ALO were called upon for an emergency by the “friends of the Black Swordsman”: Lisbeth, Silica, Agil and Klein, with the help of some of the leaders of the Fairy races, including Sakuya of the Sylphs, Alicia Rue of the Cait Siths, and Eugene of the Salamanders. However, the players who had answered the plea to listen to the situation were not as pleased when they heard about the uncertainties involved in the request, as well as the sacrifices that might be entailed by agreeing to pledge their aid to to the girl in pink, who could feel her knees shaking under the weight of her responsibility. However, she was not in a position to give up on this path.

Meanwhile, another, more literal fight was continuing deep within the Dark Territory. With Gabriel Miller’s reinforcements having arrived into the simulation from the United States after Critter disabled the Fluctlight Acceleration and connected Underworld to the Seed Nexus, the Human Guardian Army decoy forces found themselves under severe pressure. However, neither Asuna, nor the Integrity Knights could foresee what was about to transpire. The newly-arrived mysterious figures cared little for who the enemy was as they began slaughtering the Pugilists that were between them and the Human Guardian Army. While Iskahn, the tenth Champion of the Pugilists, was forced to take drastic measures to save his people from the horde of rampaging players, this development also gave Vector the distraction he needed to carry out his own goals. Grabbing the Priestess of Light from the convoluted battle with his dragon, the Emperor of the Dark Territory made haste towards the south, hoping to reach the World's End Altar and log out with his prize. However, the commander of the Integrity Knights, Bercouli Synthesis One, did not waste a single second chasing after him.

With another wave of Americans diving in to act as an obstacle between the decoy force and Gabriel Miller, the war would only become uglier. Meanwhile, having just awoken a couple hours after his death in Underworld, Vassago Casals gave Critter a unique ID from the Japanese Seed Nexus in order to dive back in with his own account. And once he was back in Underworld with his old SAO account, a grin found its way on his face. As he watched another Goddess of Underworld descend, while Asuna the Flash and those around her desperately fought on, the Prince of Hell could not stop grinning... on the other hand, those who noticed him were now as pale as ghosts. The slaughter was just about to begin…
