SAO Ch15 Asuna

She raised her sword slowly and reversed her grip. Her thin arm tensed with
nervousness, and then went up another couple of centimeters as it prepared to
stab through Cradil. At that moment the murderer screamed even more loudly.

“Heeeek! I-I don’t want to die-!!”

The sword stopped as if it hit an invisible wall. Her thin body began to shake
violently.

I could fully feel Asuna's inner conflict, both her fear and her anger.

By what I knew, she had never killed anyone in this game. Since when a player
is killed in this world they also die in the real world, PKing in this network
game is equivalent to actual murder.

—Yeah. Stop, Asuna. You shouldn’t do that.

As I screamed this to myself, I also thought of the complete opposite at the
same time.

—No, don’t hesitate. That’s what he’s after.

My prediction became reality 0.1 seconds later.

“Ahahahaha!”

I wasn't sure when Cradil had picked his sword back up, but he suddenly swung
it upwards with a scream.
