Chapter 2- The Massacre

The second incident in Mikael time in Sword Art Online, this incident is what caused Mikael to be given the name The Black Sword. Please enjoy this story.

This take place only one month after Shelia recruited Mikael and he joined Laughing Coffin. I was sitting in the main hall as I had come back from another successful mission. The mission was to track this guild who tried to steal from a member of Laughing Coffin and take revenge on them. I was eating a sandwich which I had made due to the recent boost in my cooking level when someone ran in and said "Everyone they have posted the recent table on most kills." Everyone began to run out of the room to take a look at this table. I quickly ate my sandwich and decided to take a look at this table as I was a bit curious as to why everyone in Laughing Coffin was excited about this. After leaving the main hall I saw a massive crowd nearby a wall to the left side. I walked over to them and tiptoed over the crowd so I could see the table. The title of the table read 'Top Ten Killer in LC.' "Ah you curious about the list, Mikael" a voice behind me said. I turned around to see that it was Shelia who said that. "Don't bother trying to teach him about it, Shelia" said another voice next to Shelia. It was the member of Laughing Coffin known as Red Zaza. "Oh come on Zaza, don't act like that who knows maybe he might have a chance" Shelia told him. "We will see" He responded before walking away.

"Don't mind him, he just gets like that sometime. So what do you want to know about the table?" She asked me. "What is the point of the Table" I told her. "The table is a way of finding out who is a good killer and should be given a nickname, At the end of each week every newbie as one day to try and get as many kills as they can. Whoever get the most kill will be welcome into the inner circle of Laughing Coffin and will be given a brand new robe" she said to me. The crowd soon vanished and I was able to see the list more clearly. I saw my name next to the number 8 with my number of killers at 30. The top one had a number of killer at 49. "Well it seems you have to get 20 more killer for you want to win" Shelia told me. "Well if that the case then I might be of assistances" A voice behind us said. "Oh it's you, Seo. What do you want" Shelia said with annoyance in her voice. "Oh don't be like that Shelia-chan. And plus you know my name now is Silent Dagger" he said to her with a grin on his face. "Oh yeah I forgot that you recently won this competition and I told you not to call me that" Shelia responded.

I looked at the bother of them confused. "Sorry Mikael I forgot to introduce you this Seo, Seo this is my apprentice Mikael" she told me. "It's Silent Dagger, I pleasure to meet you Mikael" he said put his hand out to be shake. "It's nice to meet you too, Seo" I responded. "Anyway what do you mean by be of assistances Seo" Shelia asked. "Oh I mean that I will help your little protégé here get enough kills to secure the win in the competition" Seo told us. "And how might you do that" Shelia asked. "That is simple we are going to go on a mission to attack this group of seven people who are locating a rare item, we will attack them before they find the item. We will keep one on them alive and tell them to return to town and tell everyone what happened and that we have the rare item. This should result in group of people out to get us; we will stay in that area until we have secured enough kills for you to win. And all I ask for is the item as payment how's that sound" Seo told us. Shelia thought for a moment before saying "That's not that bad a plan. Mikael you should do it" I nodded in response "And Seo if anything happens to Mikael I swear I kill find you and make you wish to die." Seo gulped in response before he grabbed my arm and dragged me off.

The plan went exactly as Seo said it would but we reach a part of the plan he had not seen coming. I had recently killed a group of ten who tried to take the item. "Right that should put your total kills at 55 a couple more until we can go back to the Guild. And he next group should be appearing soon" Seo said. His look of excitement changed to one of shock. I turn around to see a group of 55 people all wearing the exact same guild symbol. I recognised it as the symbol of Divine Dragon Alliance. "So it them who turned up, I should of guess it was the Divine Dragon Alliance" Seo said. "Just hand over the rare item or we will take care of you" one of them spoke up. "Well you see hand over thing are not really my style" Seo said. He turned to me and whispered "Run Mikael now." "Why" I whispered to him "Because you can't deal with these people" he whispered back. "HAND IT OVER NOW YOU MOTHERFUCKERS" a member of the Divine Dragon Alliance shouted. "Not going to happen" Seo told them before he unsheathed his sword and charged at them. He fought back against three who attack him after he charged. As he did so he shouted "MIKAEL RUN NOW." I thought about running when I heard a voice in my head shout "KILL THEM ALL, CRUSH THEM BENEATH YOU." I unsheathed Blazing Hope and shout "DIE YOU ASSHOLES." I slammed it into the ground activating Eternal Flame which killed 40 of them in one hit. I then charged straight at them slashing and cutting at any who came at me until none of them were left. They had come to kill us but end up dying themselves. It was a complete massacre.

When we returned to the guild the time was up and the winner was announced. I had won the competition with 107 kills. On that I day I was brought into the secret room that was off limits to everyone except those in the inner circle. The guild master told me to kneel down in the middle while the rest of the inner circle sat around the room. I saw Shelia sat down who smiled at me when I looked at her before turning my focus back to the Guild master. He unsheathed his sword and place the tip on each of my shoulders similar to a knighting ceremony. "Welcome to the inner circle of LC, Mikael or shall I call you Black Sword" he said before telling me to stand up. He then opened his menu and traded an item to me. It was my new clock. I was about equip it before it fused with my coat of eclipse. In then equipped the new coat of eclipse, it was not that much different to my old one except for the fact there was the Laughing Coffin symbol on my chest right side and my right arm while there was a white sword on the left side of my chest. After that I built up my kill count, when SAO was over my total kill count was at 225.

This is the story of the second incident it wasn't as detailed as the first since it was not meant to be written but when I read one of my reviews I was asked how many people did Mikael kill and so that is where this story came from. The next incident will be about what changed Mikael so he decides to leave Laughing Coffin and what happened to Akuro after the events of chapter 1. I hope you have enjoyed
