Picking up from last episode, Eugeo and Kirito are forced to fight the Integrity Knight, Eldrie. Kirito and Eugeo are doing well until Eldrie uses his Divine Weapon. Eugeo finally remembers who Eldrie really is.

When Eugeo starts listing off different things the Knight has done, Eldrie starts screaming, saying that he has no such recollection of those memories. He then falls to the ground, with an unknown purple crystal coming out of his forehead. At the mention of his mother's name, tears fall from Eldrie's eyes.

Suddenly, another Integrity Knight begins attacking Kirito and Eugeo. They run towards a dead end, where a warp gate appears. Jumping through, the boys end up in a grand library. The woman who teleported them turns out to be the Cardinal System of that world.

While Eugeo is sent to dry his cloths, she tells Kirito that he is from the real World and explains the history of the VR World, how it all started, and who developed and created the Taboo Index.
