Actually just because the other guild enter the boos room it doesn’t mean Kirito and Klein died, if we go back to the Alfheim arc, at the beginning of the first two episodes we see Leafa fighting against one of General Eugene’s right hand man, when Kirito shows up and kills two of three Salamander players, Eugene’s right hand man withdraws due to the fact that if he died on the game he would have to restart from zero, Leafa also points this out when they being attack by a party of 12 Salamander players, that if they die it’s just going to take them awhile to level up again and gain some supplies, If Kirito did die why did he still had the Excalibur sword when he was fighting on a duel against Yukki at the end of the series, I don’t think Kirito did die, After all he’s been proven to be the strongest swords man in all fuel dive virtual reality by Eigin, Kayaba, and by many others who faced him before or met him before, what probably did happen was that while kirito was fighting with Klein against the party of players, some where able to escape their attacks and kept marching towards the boss room that for their misfortune was already beaten by the Sleeping Knights guild.
