It was purely coincidental that the uninvited guests who pretended to be very ordinary while wearing magic tools of an unusual level were caught by my magical poetry.
The original plan was to wait for the Church’s arrival while working as far away from the battle as possible to avoid suspicion. Even so, while I was looking around, wondering if I could see the traces of the magic tools called workshops, I just saw the same guys two days in a row and followed me.
After checking the subtle reactions and movements around me that I couldn’t even recognize them properly, I became convinced, and when I entered the sparsely populated building that looked like a safety house at first glance, I thought I had drawn a lottery.
Clearly, a win was a win.
The problem is that it was unexpected.
I would have thought that the guy I bumped into on the street the first time I came to the city was Soha Shinore, who was rumored to be not only a member of the special operations department but also a person of interest. Even the tricks of fate go too far.
However, I came to the conclusion that the destructive power he showed during his first debut back in the day was probably the result of explosively using very limited resources like an esthetic beam.
As a result, I naturally thought that now, when I was not ready for that much, might be a real opportunity, and my body reacted first.
Until the moment I mixed my swords exactly like that five times, I was sure my predictions were correct.
“Captain Soha! No!”
At the same time as his colleague shouted, Soha’s eyes turned black, and the space distorted until a spear appeared.
As soon as I saw it, I realized that it was the holy spear Ester.
so i was angry
This is honestly irresistible. If Lady Deoni had been here, she would have fired headbutts at the blind-eyed bastard without even looking back.
“Ha, like shameless bastards.”
Of course, in addition to Epaga-sama’s divine power, the remnants of evil spirits were wriggling in the Holy Spear.
As if responding to the appearance of the holy spear, Sohara radiated a strong evil spirit that was incomparable to that of the Unlucky Hulks.
“What did you do to the Holy Lance?”
There is no answer coming back.
Since ancient times, it has been a cliché for those who open their eyes like that to go crazy, so I didn’t even expect to hear an answer.
As if instead of an answer, the guy who is still clumsy in swordsmanship, but whose physical abilities seem to have improved due to the evil god buff, wields a sword with one hand.
Then, a blow incomparable to that just before unfolded.
“Epagaaa!!”
I would have tried to capture him alive if the situation came. However, now was not the time to let go.
I tried to cut the guy’s neck while avoiding the sword that made his composure disappear, but the power contained in his sword was not negligible.
Soha aimed for the brief moment when I was pushed back while trying to block it, and a desperate cry that was hard to tell whether it was shouting or screaming came out of Soha’s mouth, and at the same time, the spear he was holding was shot.
Even though it was an expected attack, it was too late to dodge it. The sword he wielded with one hand was unusual, so it was too late even though he had concentrated all his nerves in advance.
The blow, which even created a shock wave, was so powerful that I wondered if it would have ripped my head off if it hadn’t been for Lumings’ helmet.
But most of all, the perfection of his spearmanship was amazing. His main weapon was a spear, not a sword.
With the realization that the full-fledged fight would start from now on, this time I squeezed through the hole in him and stabbed Este from my side.
magic and divine power. And the blade, which moved sharper and more accurately than ever thanks to the effect of dragon blood, drew a perfectly straight line that even I felt admirable, but it couldn’t pierce its head.
-Kwagak!
As soon as this madman looked back, he might have degenerated into a beast, but he moved his head at a strange angle and bit Este.
It was a very refreshing experience to have the attack stop as soon as he bit it, as if I was caught in a hydraulic press regardless of my will, but I didn’t admire it because it was more like fuck than freshness.
“Eat this too.”
Instead, I prayed that the guy’s head would blow off, and hit the esthetic beam without hesitation.
The remnants of the evil spirit absorbed from Iranorev were at a level different from those of the corroding bodies. Even if it didn’t work, it was enough to use the esthetic beam twice, which was so intense that it blew a hole in one of Iranorev’s legs.
However, in the middle of the city, no matter how rumored it was, and even if it was a guy who felt the energy of an evil god on a different level than before, it was considered a waste to pour such an attack on a human bastard in one queue, so I adjusted the output.
No matter how much I adjusted it, I was convinced that if I hit it directly from close range without any preparation, it would disappear without a shape.
The beam of light, which had always silently annihilated the enemy, pierced the building and the ground and showed off its power… but the
heavy resistance I felt in my hand did not completely disappear.
The disappearance of Este’s beam, the spear he was holding again aimed at my head, and the spread of Este’s blade while dodging that attack happened almost simultaneously.
[Owner, something is different.]
It was an esthetician who spoke in a more serious voice than ever before, but I was just thinking that too, even if he didn’t have to tell me.
His head was fine.
To be more precise, a very unpleasant aura seemed to bounce off the esthetic beam as if it were protecting his head.
“That looks like a dick.”
At first, I wondered if my head melted a little and survived because of the look of something sticky.
Not at all. Beyond that unpleasant thing that burns like firewood and disappears every time it collides with Este’s divine power, Soha swung a spear at me with a perfectly normal face, her black eyes shining.
It was more of a check to increase distance rather than a one-hit kill attack with intent to kill, but the guy, who is so full of evil spirits, sublimes even such a check into a strong attack that cannot be ignored.
Rather, the pressure is greater and more threatening than when dealing with Iranorev. It was a perfect situation to have a hole in the body if it was twisted, but fortunately, thanks to two advantages, I was able to continue the fight somehow.
The first advantage is esthetic, which absorbs the energy of evil spirits and works like a permanent organ.
Just by looking at it, you could tell that the demonic aura he was surrounded by was a serious threat in itself. It is so thick that it is overflowing enough to be identified with the naked eye, rather than perceived as an abstract concept.
Just now, a rat, trying to escape the mess, struggled in pain and died. As it was originally, that alone meant that a serious abnormal condition would occur, like touching the blood of the corroding creatures appearing here.
However, Este absorbs that energy and replaces it with her own.
It was a situation that could not be said to be enough, but with the divine power that was replaced like that, I put all kinds of strengthening spells on me and purify the surroundings. I had to spray it like crazy as much as I absorbed it, so even if I couldn’t gain a complete advantage, the ability to make his debuffs plus or minus zero was a huge advantage.
The second was the simplicity of his attacks.
The spear he wields has only one intention. Regardless of whether the enemy avoids this attack, misses, or counterattacks, move assuming that the enemy will die in the current attack.
If the opponent was far weaker than Ji, that would be the end, but not now. No matter how perfect his attack is, it exerts more power than an erosion body, and even if it creates a shock wave every time he swings his spear, I also have enough skills to receive or deflect his attack.
“You bastard…!”
As a result, Soha’s attack did not kill me even though it devastated the surroundings, and I continued to inflict wounds on him.
It would have been nice if this situation continued, but unfortunately, his movements changed as the scars on his body increased.
“You, who act like a mere puppet without thinking, play in the hands of the Demon God and move, blocking my way!”
“What the fuck.”
But that doesn’t mean you’re enjoying a comfortable and one-sided enjoyment attack.
It’s just that there are no fatal wounds, and his attacks keep narrowly scratching or passing through my armor. It is clear that even if the reaction is slightly delayed due to distraction for a moment, one of the two will face disastrous results, whether it is the armor or my body.
Just looking at the conversation now, that’s the case. Since his attack doesn’t work, he shakes his snout as if he’s trying to criticize me with a little firearm shining in his far back eyes, but I can only give a short answer. Not because I don’t have anything to say, but because I can’t afford it.
“It’s like being drunk with the power you gained without any effort! You bastard, I’ve been burning anger and life for revenge all my life! You’re blocking me!”
It’s daunting just by the sudden situation, but hearing the nonsense of a guy who goes blind and explodes on his own will make a thousand dollars boil inside.
I want to shout out to stop fucking right now, but I can’t afford it as the guy who used to bite the sword like a mad dog regained his reason and started spitting Este’s blade out of his mouth.
On the contrary, the power to rip through the air has decreased very slightly, while the precision of the technique has risen sharply, making it a bit heavy.
I didn’t know if this signaled the end of the rage buff or if it was a selective anger control disorder that adjusted the balance to my liking, but it wasn’t a very good change for me.
But, it was worth doing.
“Under the whim of an unruly god, without knowing the truth… ghast!”
With a clearer pronunciation, I fired the needles at Soha’s waist in anger at Soha’s legs, who were trying to talk bullshit at me, and then retrieved them.
Because he wasn’t wearing proper armor, wind holes were pierced through his thighs, and the black energy covering his eyes was partially released in an unexpected surprise attack, showing a very embarrassed look.
Seeing that, I was not surprised by the needle, but rather surprised by how the needle moved without any prior preparation. It was the moment when Operation Whistle shined.
“It’s just a mouth with a baby who doesn’t know.”
The day the village was burned, all I had in my hands was magic power, a fucking weak body, and two knives left behind by the enemies who stabbed my parents to death.
The day Delt tried to dive into a flying dragon, I had a helper, Gis, who persuaded me with magic, a sword, a hard-trained body, and Sechi’s tongue. It was two more than when magic power and a sword were everything.
The same goes after that.
Learn swordsmanship, train, make needles, change equipment, steal Kakula’s axe, build knowledge, have exchanges, challenge, fight, get a laika, learn magic.
I’ve always tried to keep more in my hands to prepare for the next one.
Even though Epaga-sama’s divine protection dwelling in this body may have been innate, there was no such thing as a genius perk that allowed her to get everything without any effort.
Really, strictly speaking, it’s more like I was able to realize my magical power early in the first place because I tried to learn how to operate it through meeting with Master. If it hadn’t been so, I would have died and remained as white bones next to my parents.
If you don’t know about my tearful efforts, and if you don’t know what kind of feeling Epaga-sama is looking down on the continent, why are you talking about knowing everything?
“Anything I can say I’ve gained without effort in this life.”
I have always tried my best with everything I have in order to live.
And so it is now.
“There were only girls who said they liked me, you fucking bastard.”
I didn’t hide the resentment that came up after me, and fired needles and pieces of Este’s split sword at him.
