Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

Grace's soft skin buried fingertips grab something like a solid pattern.

What each hand grabbed is not independent. I felt like I was holding something in common.

But that's not the feel of a sage wand (Staff of Sage). The pattern (eh) appears to be non-slippery, covered with some sort of leather.

I slowly take my money out of Grace's shining chest.

Until now, the weapons in your hands still do not show the full picture, even if they are of a length that the whole thing should already be able to take out.

In the dazzling light, I pulled out the weapon, backwards a little bit.

"This is-"

As the light subsides, I “stare” at the object lifted with both hands.

It was a giant "Great Sword" with a beautiful green body.

[Rare Value (Rarity)]

SS

For a moment, I thought I had misread the numbers (parameters).

Until I saw the status, I expected a flashy attack power commensurate with my enormous stature.

- But the attack power of this sword is even below the wand of the wise (staff obsage) above the numbers.

Either that or it looked like a state of strength (status) in the defense.

The treasure sword (Alexander) 's body reflects the light of the light source (the light) and shines like a gem in seven colors.

As I was blinded by the beauty of the light, Grace, standing on my side, blurred her eyes and hung on me.

I hurry to hold Grace.

"- Grace, are you conscious?

"- Yeah."

Grace answered my query weakly.

Grace drains considerable magic power to take out the demon's weapon.

I may have worn it out more than I expected, just because I got a lot of money this time. Unlike last time, I don't think I'll be able to return to battle any time soon.

Sylvia leaves the front and rushes towards me.

"Grace, are you okay!?

"Yes - I'm fine"

Though I will answer that, her voice is small and her body has no sign of ever getting up.

When I glanced at Sylvia for a moment, I offered Grace's body.

"Excuse me, Sylvia, can I have Grace?"

"Okay. It doesn't even work on him, so he's as far away as he can."

Looking at Sylvia holding Grace's body, I warn her one more thing.

"Even if you're evacuating - be very careful of his unexpected attacks."

"- Yeah, I know."

Sylvia tied her lips cuddly and answered it.

What I said to the detour was that Gino could throw a weapon at me.

That was nothing else, suggesting an attack that took Clive's life in the past.

At that time - the reason why Gino threw his own weapon and abandoned the fight is still unclear.

But when he was defeated by me, he disappeared with an invincible smile, as if throwing a weapon at him was the right thing to do.

It's - just before it was defeated, it's very different from Kurt, who begged for his life.

While I put that information on my head, I firmly place the treasure sword (Alexander) in my hands.

If you look at it, Celestia was taking a series of Gino attacks. On that side Roberto is desperately attacking and restraining Gino. But Roberto's attack didn't seem to break through Gino's hard skin.

"Kay, not yet!?

Celestia's rushing voice rises. Every time I took Gino's attack, I could see her HP was decreasing. Celestia is literally fighting to shred herself to protect us.

Seeing Gino's axe swing down on Celestia, I transferred to her side in a battle transfer (Battlegate).

And take that attack with a treasure sword (Alexander) in her place.

"- Ho ho, now it's a sword"

Gino is grinning as she looks at the sword I have.

As I looked at the expression, I wondered if I could extract any information.

"Can't you afford it?

- But you shouldn't think we're as strong as before. "

When I provoked her a little, Gino laughed out loud.

"Fuhaha, are you assuming that you are the only ones who will grow?

- I'll let you know that it's not the same as before. "

Gino says so, waving the axe he pulled once across him. Celestia took the attack one step further and took it guttingly.

Gino pulled the accepted axe again, this time turning the axe into both hands and swinging it down directly from the top.

"Avoid it!!

I raise my voice unexpectedly.

The axe blade, which I tried to shake down with all my strength, was found glowing red. Maybe that's some kind of skill. Just like before, you shouldn't think you can take it.

As Roberto and Celestia rushed off the spot, Gino's full blow slammed the floor under his feet.

As soon as there was an earthquake, it sounded so loud and vibrating that the shock wave from it hit us.

Roberto and I were easily blown away by the shock waves and rolled a few meters. Only Celestia has withstood the shock waves and managed to stay on the spot. But his body was leaning too wide, and he was flushed.

Where he collapses, Gino's right leg flies after him.

Celestia couldn't avoid that kick, took it decently to her body and was blown to a distance beyond me or Roberto.

"Ugh!"

I can hear Celestia groaning. She used a huge healing (elder heel) on herself but seems to have taken a lot of damage.

In an attempt to seal the pursuit of the Gino, I got up and immediately hung a rampage (charge). As the momentum rushes in, swing the treasure sword (Alexander) down from the top to the bottom.

Gino blew the blow with an axe. I slashed the sword beneath my feet again.

Then the trajectory, where the torso travels up and down, emits a green light, striking the zino as if it were a giant wind blade (windcutter). The skill of the treasure sword (Alexander), the Yen Moon Slash (Crescent) triggered a round trip (trigger).

Gino uses an axe pattern to try to prevent circular lunar slaughter (crescent). But the light of the Yen Moon Slash (Crescent) ripped the pattern apart perfectly.

"Colour-!!"

The blade of light in the circle lunar slaughter (crescent) extinguishes where the axe pattern is cleaved.

Gino stopped the move for a moment so that it was incredible.

"- Torah!!

With a slightly ossan-smelling hanging voice, Roberto progresses without missing a gap.

A burst of momentum (Charge Spike) stunningly pierced the left flank of the zino as the body of the erosion short spear (Eclipse) glowed red.

This is my first effective hit.

"Chip - to this extent!

Gino waves the axe back in his right hand as he puts his (only) face back. Couldn't afford to orient the blade, Roberto was beaten with the flat (hiragana) part of the axe and blew away as he spun flashly.

"Grr!"

"- Roberto!!

I panicked to Roberto, who raised his voice so that the lizard would crumble.

Roberto, who had fallen, had managed to get up on the spot.

But the pursuit of the Gino is already imminent there.

Right after, Gatin! The pursuit was taken by Celestia, along with the loud metal noise that

Fortunately, it was where Celestia was blown away when Roberto rolled over. The coincidence is saving Roberto.

I followed a casino that took the form of a back and stuck a treasure sword (Alexander) in it.

But as if he had eyes on his back, Gino avoids that attack with minimal movement.

Gino pulled the axe that slapped the shield of the Virgin (Shield of Line) and used it to completely divert my attack.

Because of this, I am different from Gino in a way that makes me look forward to it. Having exposed myself to a completely defenseless posture, I definitely ate Gino's intense left punch in my stomach.

"Ugh -!!"

I let my legs fall to my forehead.

- That worked now.

The referee's coat (Judgment Robe) absorbed the shock, but I still feel like my stomach is going to turn upside down.

I can't move immediately, I try to get my HP back down with a full recovery (full heel).

A casino chase flew into the room.

This is a timing that is unlikely to be avoided unless you completely use Combat Transfer (Battlegate). But in between, Celestia cracks in and takes the offense to the gutter.

"- Kay, are you okay?

Celestia comes to me without looking back in the midst of an axe and a shield.

"I just want to say it's okay - but the penalty for not magic working is pretty severe"

While I answered that, I hung Celestia and Roberto on a full recovery (full heel).

Severe decrease in SP due to treasure sword (Alexander).

I'm starting to worry about the rest of the SP.

I felt that the inability to use magic to weaken the gino was working pretty well.

I can't grasp the thread of the offense while we're just slashing each other.

Going on like this, I thought the lack of SP could wipe out the treasure sword (Alexander). The treasure sword (Alexander) is not an aggressive sword, but if it is lost, it is seen to be an even tougher struggle.

- and Roberto hung a ramp (charge) to the left flank of the zino.

We're aiming for the same spot where Roberto's attack hit earlier. It was the tactic of a warrior used to fighting, trying to attack a thoroughly wounded place.

I timing it and in turn release a slash to the right flank of the zino.

The right flank of the zino, which was pointing the axe towards dealing with Roberto, was galloping empty for a moment.

My slaughter did hit the zino, but from where the sword hit, a tall metal noise sounded and the gray light bounced and flew for just a moment.

――

In the end, there are only shallow cuts left on the right flank of the zino. It succeeded in striking, but it was not an effective attack.

But I felt like I found a thread to change the situation in my current interactions.

Once Roberto's advance (charge) is played by the Gino's axe, the three of us stand away from the Gino.

Just as the three of them were triangulated, it was the shape that surrounded the Gino in the middle.

I stayed in that formation and called out to Gino.

"- You've known for a long time that you could return to this world even if you were defeated, right?

Gino laughed at what I told her.

I was wondering if she would give me any answers, but she doesn't intend to talk to me.

I look at it and speak up even more.

"If so, that man (Kurt) may return to this world in the same way.

I want to take revenge on that man. Maybe it's convenient for you. "

Gino returns a response to that statement.

But what Gino told me was something different from what I expected.

"No, that's not it"

Gino assures me, he is laughing at Niyanya in a meaningful way.

――――

As I looked at Gino's face, I began to organize information rapidly.

Gino never looks like a good type of runner. Then you should think that what you are talking about is infinitely close to the truth.

If you believe that, Kurt will never come back to this world.

That's not a happy fact for us.

But where does the “difference” between Kurt not being able to return and Gino being able to return come from?

- After listing some possibilities, I threw one question to finalize that possibility.

"That's - because you're an Overt."

The moment he throws the word, Gino opens his eyes and laughs more nigga.

"You're - you're a really interesting man.

Nor did Noh assume that the word would come out of nowhere. "

I can tell from this answer that Gino is unfamiliar with rushing.

The real zino seems to have answered nothing and has implicitly admitted that the "Reese cannot return” to which Kurt belongs.

I just can't tell if every demon in the Overt has the potential to return to this world, or if only some demons, including the Gino, have the power to do so among the Overts.

From here on out, it will be quite difficult to open your mouth to the core.

Because I have to make sure that you “have to talk” in the circumstances.

I moved my gaze toward Roberto, standing on the left hand side of the Gino.

Naturally Roberto and his gaze intersect.

This is good and I don't know if it will pass on.

I stayed - to the extent that Gino didn't understand me - "moved my left arm slightly twice".

The period that Roberto and I fought together is shallow.

Whether or not he would accurately absorb my intentions - the winning opportunity from here was hanging there.

"- Well, you didn't assume my words."

I laugh when I say "buy time” enough.

Thank you. You don't like what I laughed at, Gino quickly firmed his expression.

Seeing that look on my face, I keep saying things.

"But there's one more thing you can't seem to assume."

――

When Gino was alerted to the word - there was already a “black shadow” right behind the Gino that approached him in secret steps.

"Ha -!!"

Rarely speaking up, Grace hits the unintentional (backstab).

There should have been no assumption in Gino's head that Grace, who had left the fight, would now be slashed.

As a result, Grace's attack became a complete surprise, creating a stunning cut to Gino's leg.

Did Gino resent being struck by surprise, or try to look straight back at Grace right behind him?

However, numerous rock walls (rockwalls) wrapped around Gino's body so as to inhibit its movement.

"Chi -!"

While tongue-beating, Gino grinds down the rock wall (rockwall) made by Sylvia.

Shortly afterwards, from the right hand side of the Gino, the sword of the Virgin (Jacqueline) was slashed at the same time by me with the sword of treasure (Alexander) from the left hand side.

Gino takes those two attacks by crossing the axe in his right hand with his left.

- At this moment, the movement stopped completely, in the form of both hands of the zino being fixed.

"Uh-oh!!

With an understandable roar, Roberto unleashes a thrust all over him. In line with that movement, the tip of the erosion short spear (Eclipse) was creating a muscle of red lines.

Roberto's skill penetration (Penetration) pierces and crushes the “bracelet" of Gino's left arm just as I intended.

"What -!?"

Gino, with a surprised look on his face, played Celestia and my sword, beating Roberto as he tried to pass close.

Roberto, who had stiffness shortly after his skills were activated, couldn't avoid that punch and ate it in his face and blew it flashy.

"Roberto!!

The blown Roberto doesn't even try to move with Pickle as he falls.

Clive's memory passes behind my brain.

Suddenly palpitations become faster and the back of the eye hurts chills.

When I stared at Gino and set up the treasure sword (Alexander), Gino had his hands wide open, as he no longer thought.

"I'm sorry to hear more than I've been hit by a bracelet, but it sounds like you've lost."

Seeing the Gino not move, Celestia rushes toward Roberto.

I'm worried about Roberto, but I just have to leave this place to Celestia.

I have to do something about the enemy in front of me.

"Kill Noon again?"

Hearing what Gino said, I laughed niggardly.

"Right. That would be nice."

That's what I say and stick the treasure sword (Alexander) into the chest of the zino - just before, I stopped the sword.

"What imitation?

"- You look too sweetly at the power of the Devil's Sword.

Unfortunately, I don't want to see your face anymore.

Even if you disappear here, you can return to this world again - maybe that's what you're thinking.

But if he says he can return if he disappears, "we have to make him disappear permanently".

- Like this!

When I poke the treasure sword (Alexander) into the leg of the Gino, I put my first glance of magic into the treasure sword (Alexander).

Moments later, Gino's body was engulfed in gray light.

Gino realizes what is happening to her body and starts screaming with a stunned look.

"Hey! Stop it!! You, no way -!!"

The most powerful attack that the treasure sword (Alexander) has - it was the ability to petrify.

But this ability to petrify seems magically similar. Because of this, Gino was blocked by the magically invalid bracelet he had, and Gino had so far received no petrifying effect at all.

When I attacked Gino, I noticed the situation when I saw the petrified light being played.

When Gino vanishes in this world, he can return to this world again.

- What if it is?

From this world, we just have to make it disappear.

By the magic of the treasure sword (Alexander), Gino will continue to remain in this world, turning from this world into an indelible “stone statue”.

- And I left it above Gino's shoulder to stop the petrification effect.

Still, there's something I have to ask Gino.

"All -!!"

It is a gino that shows fierce resistance, but it is no longer petrified with hands and feet, making it impossible to move.

I spoke slowly to the Gino with my treasure sword (Alexander) in place.

"Gino - if you answer my questions so dearly, you don't have to stop petrifying them and make them disappear."

Gino swallowed up Gokuri and spit at what I whispered.

"What do you want to know -!?"

Gino has a rather hurried look.

I thought I couldn't help it or die because I was in danger of losing my life.

"I want to know more about why you can return to this world. Sounds like the only one who can return is the Overts, but how about all the Overts have that power or some, not all of them?

――――

Gino doesn't want to answer.

Seeing it and tilting the treasure sword (Alexander) meaningfully, Gino broke his mouth in a hurry.

"- Okay! Stop that sword!!

- Only some demons of the Overt are given reincarnation (linkage) skills.

The skill - a ritual that can be given using a demon. "

I remember a strong scratch on that word.

"Using the Demon Man"? What's the meaning of this?

Are you going to sacrifice a demon?

"- I don't know if I'd call it sacrifice. - That's what I mean.

I get that ritual “every time” before I cross into this world.

When I heard the answer, I shook my face.

- You're crazy. Shall we return to this world (Florence) until we have sacrificed the lives of our fellow citizens?

I put together one more question that occurred to me, based on all the information I had so far.

"No way, the Obertists are collecting all the demons of the dark attribute -"

Gino laughs when she hears those words.

"I didn't expect to notice that much.

Yes, if you use the Demon of Dark Attributes, you will not be granted reincarnation skills. "

- Perhaps this is a fact that Lene didn't even know about.

Obert gathers demons of the dark attribute not to breed among demons of the same attribute.

This invasion of the world (Florence) was aimed at gaining advantageous skills.

"The Reese - you can't give Reese that skill, can you?

"Reese seems to have noticed the existence of reincarnation (linkage) for quite some time. I guess that's why I'm desperately gathering demons of the dark attribute.

But you don't know the secret to reincarnation. So no Reese and no demon has been granted reincarnation "

Now - at least, Kurt's death is certain.

On that point, I can't help but stroke my chest down.

When I looked at Sylvia's face, she seemed to smile slightly at the answer.

I look at the zino again and I ask another question.

There are few SPs left that are sucked up by the treasure sword (Alexander). This will be my last question.

"Then this is my last question.

This time, when your defeat darkened, you abandoned the struggle.

That's what you can do because you know in advance that you can return to this world.

- But I have one question.

Last time, you, equally defeated, abandoned your struggle. That's all I need.

But that's when Clive - who may have been after Sylvia - seemed to give priority to killing him. Why is that?

So far, I know that you have no reason to create a favorable situation for a different Kurt from your faction. So that action shouldn't be for Kurt "

Listening to it, Gino spills a grin close to ridicule.

"Huh, easy stuff.

The more he defeats his enemies, the stronger he becomes.

Defeat one or more enemies before you are defeated.

That way, when he reappears in this world, Non is stronger.

Whatever time it is, it's just a matter of restraint. "

――――

I felt the illusion of darkness in front of me in that answer.

In short, this guy only sees the person in front of him as an experience earning tool.

Only then did I decide that attacking Clive was more likely to bring him down than attacking me.

That's why I killed Clive just to make myself stronger.

"-Okay, okay."

When I say that, I rebuild the treasure sword (Alexander).

"You!? Are you going to break your promise!?

Seeing what I'm trying to do, Gino makes a rushed voice.

Gino can't move in a hurry. I smiled evil and told Gino off.

"You didn't teach me?

The promise is to find out if you have a good relationship of trust with the other person and then make an exchange.

Unfortunately, I'm not “pure” enough to believe in trust with you. "

Lene's face comes to me, telling me not to use the word "pure”.

Her voice that the Lord is a mass of evil spirits (Refrain) in her head.

That's right. I'm afraid I can't live purely.

I get angry, I get revenge.

I want pleasure, laughing.

That's who I am - a man of both faith and emotion.

I put a treasure sword (Alexander) around the neck of a whispering zino with a serious expression.

"Out of the way -!!"

While taking Gino's throwaway dialogue -,

On that occasion, I created a stone statue of a demon with his hands wide open.

"Roberto - are you okay!?

I ran over to Roberto's side while he was still down.

Celestia is already holding Roberto and hanging her healing magic.

For a moment, the dark memories of the climb are about to come back to life, but when I check the state (status), my HP is not zero.

- Good, Roberto is alive!

- And Roberto's eyes, which were completely white eyed, spinning glitchy and back into the black eye.

Celestia, who sees that properly, lets Roberto's body go to such a bad mood.

Poor Roberto's head clashed straight to the ground as it was.

"Yikes!?

"-Su, sorry!! It's so creepy, and..."

Celestia hastily apologizes, but says something subtly terrible.

When Roberto rose with his head covered, everyone on the spot accidentally raised their voice and laughed.
