Miracle Summoner

The process of creating an OSS Skill Tome and passing it down isn't particularly complicated.

Essentially, the OSS owner just needs to open the relevant interface, perform the sword skill once in practice, and upon successful execution, the Skill Tome will be created.

Then, to inherit the Skill Tome, the player simply opens the OSS configuration screen, places the Skill Tome onto it, and waits for the Skill Tome to transform into data that integrates into the character's records. Once complete, the OSS manual is successfully inherited, granting the inheritor access to the original sword skill.

Thus, at Yuuki's request, the group returned to the hill and gathered once again under the large tree.

"I'll create it now. Wait just a moment."

Yuuki said this to Rozen, then opened her interface and carried out a simple operation before closing it.

Immediately, Yuuki unsheathed her sword once again.

At that moment—

"Clang!"

With the sound of shattering glass, the sword in Yuuki's hand suddenly broke apart, disintegrating into polygon fragments.

"Eh?"

Yuuki blinked in surprise before recalling something, giving Rozen a wry smile.

"Uh…"

Rozen was also momentarily stunned but quickly understood, awkwardly turning his head away.

The others froze briefly before bursting into laughter.

Everyone present clearly understood why Yuuki's sword suddenly broke.

The only possible reason was that its durability had been completely depleted.

And why had the sword's durability been drained?

Of course, it was due to Rozen's sword worning down Yuuki's sword during their earlier intense battle.

Rozen scratched his nose in slight embarrassment before drawing the sword at his waist and handing it to Yuuki.

"Use this."

His words not only stunned Yuuki but also surprised everyone else.

"Are you really letting me use it?"

Yuuki looked in amazement at the sword being handed to her.

The golden translucent blade, adorned with ornate and majestic decorations, glittering with radiant light—wasn't it Excalibur, the legendary single-handed sword hailed as the strongest in ALfheim Online?

The fact that Rozen was lending such a legendary weapon to Yuuki naturally shocked her.

But—

"This is an eleven-hit OSS Skill Tome creation—quite a significant occasion. Isn't using this sword fitting?"

Rozen said this nonchalantly with a smile.

Though Rozen already possessed even stronger swords like Alkaid and Alioth, and was even considering creating a fifty-five-hit combo sword skill called Polaris, Yuuki's Mother's Rosario was currently the highest-hit combo skill in ALfheim Online, second only to Rozen's Alkaid and Alioth.

Trailing after Mother's Rosario in terms of combo count was Rozen's Megrez, a ten-hit OSS, followed by Phecda, an eight-hit OSS, and Eugene's Volcanic Eruption, which also had eight hits. Kirito's Seven Deadly Sins came next with seven hits. This made Yuuki's OSS particularly rare, as only she and Rozen could create such high-hit combo skills. Using a legendary weapon to create its Skill Tome was certainly a case of using the right tool for the job.

Of course, the main reason was Rozen's admiration for Yuuki.

If he guessed correctly, this girl had a tragic fate. Despite this, her cheerful and lively demeanor touched his heart.

Perhaps Yuuki sensed this as well because she hesitated for a moment before smiling.

"Then I won't hold back."

With that, she accepted the Excalibur.

"It's heavy," Yuuki remarked. "Heavier than any weapon I've used before. It's a fine sword, but it doesn't suit me."

Indeed, Yuuki clearly preferred light and agile swords. Otherwise, her usual single-handed sword wouldn't have such a thin blade resembling a rapier.

Nevertheless, Yuuki's stats were impressive. Despite her complaints about the weight, she effortlessly wielded the sword, pointing it straight at the tree trunk ahead.

The next moment—

"Haaa!"

With a shout that carried tremendous spirit, Yuuki swung her right arm. The sword's blade lit up with a skill activation glow, transforming into a series of flashing thrusts.

The sword's tip left five thrust marks from the tree trunk's upper right to its lower left before being retracted by Yuuki. She then shifted her stance, delivering another five strikes from the upper left to the lower right. Each thrust caused the tree trunk to emit exaggerated explosion sounds and sway violently. If the tree weren't indestructible, it would have been split in two.

After completing the ten-hit thrust combo, Yuuki gathered her strength and launched the final blow at the crossing point of the previous strikes.

"Boom!"

A dazzling blue-purple light exploded outward, flattening the surrounding grass in a radial pattern.

The wild gusts of wind forced everyone present to take several steps back.

Yuuki, however, remained motionless, maintaining her posture with the sword embedded in the tree.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, a small emblem expanded outward from the sword's tip, radiating as it etched itself onto the tree's surface.

A square piece of parchment materialized from the tree's bark, with the glowing emblem transferring itself onto the parchment and becoming imprinted there.

Once the emblem was successfully imprinted, the parchment rolled up from the bottom, transforming into a scroll that floated in midair.

"That's…"

Asuna held her breath.

"…the Skill Tome," Kirito muttered.

Every player present fixed their gaze on the scroll with a mix of awe, desire, and even greed.

An eleven-hit OSS manual was a priceless treasure. Inheriting it would greatly enhance a player's strength. Even if one chose not to use it, selling it or offering it to the leaders of the Nine Races could secure a high-ranking position in any race.

Most of the players who had come here were targeting this manual. Seeing it appear before them naturally ignited their covetousness.

However, upon noticing Rozen's calm demeanor and the hostile gazes of the Crimson Wing members, those harboring ill intentions felt a chill and immediately dismissed any foolish thoughts.

After all, attempting any tricks in front of Crimson Wing, the strongest guild in the game, was no different from courting death. Even if they managed to snatch the Skill Tome, they wouldn't survive long in this world.

With no other choice, the players reluctantly withdrew their gazes, not daring to entertain further thoughts.

Yuuki exhaled deeply before reaching out to grab the scroll.

"Here, it's yours."

Yuuki handed the scroll to Rozen.

Rozen nodded, opened his interface, and activated the OSS configuration screen, making it visible to others before turning it toward Yuuki.

Yuuki held the scroll and placed it on the interface.

"…"

For a moment, she hesitated.

But soon, she let out a bitter smile and pressed the scroll down.

The scroll immediately dissolved into light and disappeared into the interface.

A notification popped up before Rozen:

You have successfully learned the Original Sword Skill—Mother's Rosario.

"All done."

Yuuki finally seemed to let go of her attachment to the skill and, with a feigned air of ease, turned to the others.

"Who's the next challenger?"

Incredibly, she still intended to take on other challengers.
