Kirito seemed to have realized that fact and quickly stood up,
though he did take several more steps down with terrified
expression. Alice chased behind as though she was gliding.

The ensuing battle could be said to be Kirito's first battle in
these two years that had developed so one-sidedly.

Alice delivered slash after slash with the grace of a dancer.
Kirito tried his best to take them on but got unsightly blown
away each time. He would have chances at a counterattack if he
could dodge purely by shifting his body, but Alice's sword was
dreadfully quick with superb aim despite its hefty size, making it
extremely hard to evade them cleanly.
