Kirito fights Vassago at a disadvantage, unable to use his right arm to prevent the foreign players from escaping and attacking the others, until Eugeo's spirit appears next to him and together, they use the power of both swords to forcibly log out all red players from UW. Vassago attempts to use their residual life force to empower himself, but Kirito uses it to restore Eugeo's sword instead and revert to his old SAO avatar. Kirito then fights and defeats Vassago, but when the enemy threatens to never quit until he kills him and Asuna, Kirito uses the power of his sword to transform Vassago's avatar into a giant tree resembling Gigas Cedar, trapping him inside UW for eternity...
