If a player's death is 30 secs after their disappearance, there might be enough time for Kirito stabbing Heathcliff before Asuna is fried. The real-life death feature might be disabled at the time Kirito stabbed Heathcliff. Also, I don't think Akihiko doesn't intend to fry Kirito's brains. He felt the need to give Kirito The Seed.

Well, it's easily one of the main plot hole in the first arc.

P.S. : Are you referring to me? Yes, there has never been an official SAO light novel in my country, that's why I'm thinking to import the English version. Though I know some about it. (Since I check the wiki)
