Huh. I know the issue's already been concluded here, but just read an interpretation of the illusion thing on another forum (From a non-novel reader) that suddenly made more sense to me than anything I read before.

Basically the idea that it really IS an illusion. Kirito didn't transform into anything - The bits where we see him as a demon tossing people about or chomping down... are also illusions. The spell just makes it look like it happened that way to everyone else, and the audience sees it that way too.

Underneath it he's probably just hacking away merrily with his sword because the illusion creates the openings he needs to OHKO. And then of course lies about it all afterwords to make it look cool.
