A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 483: Slashing, Slashing

It was only three days after a week of blacksmithing that the new sword and armor was truly completed.

Almost insomnia and blacksmithing were carried out, and it was a realuse that saw it, but because of the fatigue, it took two days to “sharpen” and adjust the armor of the reborn "Dragon Slash" to take a full day's rest.

After confirming the completed Dragon Slash and armor again at the dwarf workshop, Reus remembered his unspeakable impression.

Eliza and the dwarves were packed with other people, and the workshop was supposed to be spacious and full of people.

(I wonder, this feeling... makes me feel happy, like I want to cry...)

I was not particularly impressed when I saw the artwork in my previous life, but the sword and armor in front of me are different now. Especially for the sword, it seemed like a gem among the gems, so I could be sure that there was no “more”.

I want to see the swords and armor lined up on the workbench all the time. While in this mood, Reurus first wears his armor one by one to make the final confirmation.

Securely fasten your nails with fasteners to prevent loosening of shoulder pads, waist pads, etc., to your ankles and torso armor. Previously, the armor used was three layers of monster skin and metal, but the armor made this time is basically a layer of metal armor, although the cushioning material is used everywhere.

It is naturally red because of the use of Vanille's material or because the dwarves did not add their hands. I felt slightly warm when I wore it, whether it was the influence of the colour or whether it was related to the material.

Measuring the size of the current Reurus, the armor set made with Dwarf's blacksmithing technique feels light when worn in metal. If you actually weigh it, it will have a proper weight, but the weight is well distributed and you can feel it lightly.

I try to move my body on the spot, but it doesn't interfere with joint movement. There was no bumping into each other's armor, and there was a sense of peace of mind that it would protect me properly no matter what I did.

(I wonder if the great sword I received from Oni-san is also used as a material....)

Dominic's big sword, who was the first partner for Reus and was reborn as the sheath of Dragon Slash. The "Dragon Slash" sheath, which was rendered unusable as a weapon by the Magic Doll in battle in the town of Lemona, was reborn as a defensive device for Reurus.

A blend of vanilla materials, forged metal armor gives you peace of mind you won't get a scratch on a semi-life attack.

And Dominic's great sword wasn't the only one who was reborn. The love sword, named "Dragon Slash" and torn apart in the battle the other day, also showed us a reborn appearance.

The love sword, which has crossed various battles together, has been diverted as a material for making new swords. It was used as a material to sharpen the worn out parts, refine them, and make up the parts that hit the “core” of the sword.

Although the blade has chipped a lot, it is not that it cannot be used as a material. For this reason, I took down "Castle Collapse", "Country Eater" and "Neck Hunting", inhaled the blood of Vanille, and even slashed the black sphere that appeared in the town of Slaus and Lemona as the “foundation”, forming a new swordsman.

If there is a difference from the previous Dragon Slash, the sheath that could have been used as a weapon would have lost its role and become only a sheath to fully hold the blade.

The reason for this is simple: if you shake it in the sheath as before, it will be a feather that will cut the sheath from the “inside”.

--Beautiful.

It was Reurus' impression of seeing a completely polished new "Dragon Slash".

The shape has not changed much, and the sword of one blade is colored bright red. However, although there should be no major change in appearance, the sense of intimidation released from the new "Dragon Slash" was quite different.

If you accidentally raise and drop the blade, it will cut into the ground without making a sound. Previously, "Dragon Slash" had such an atmosphere, but the reborn love sword was deeply excited to hold - it was sharp enough to scare me.

"This is another... better alternative than I expected."

The weapon and armor were ready, and Vaniel, who supplied the material, was here to confirm it. Then he looked at the great sword placed on the workbench and exclaimed his admiration.

"Hmm... so was the great sword before, but this will definitely be cut off by my opponent. I thought I'd lived a long time, but I've never seen such a sword before."

"... that much?

"That's it."

Vanille nodded with a serious face, but the expression didn't look like a joke. While praising the sharpness of the reborn "Dragon Slash" from the bottom of my heart, I also drew attention to it.

"Be careful... if you become such a substitute, you might cut something that you don't have to cut if you're not careful with what you cut. Don't let your sword swing you away."

"... that's been painful for a long time. That's right, I need to be strong so I can't be ashamed of this sword."

That's how Reus grasps the handle of the sword. Handles tailored to the size of the Reurus hand and the shape of the palm give a sucking grip, so much so that even if the hand is painted with blood, the handle won't slip.

(It's a strange feeling... it's supposed to be heavy because it's all made of metal, but it feels strangely light...)

If I lose my mind, I'm going to swing around here to check the weight. However, he could not imitate it, and Reus slowly put it in a sheath made with the sword and carried it on his shoulder with a sword band.

Then, hold the dagger on the back of your waist and lower the "neck hunting" sword on your left waist to complete your arming.

"Fuaaahh... I'll try it all out."

Calvin, who spent a week building the sword of Reurus, muttered as he lacked it. It seems that Calvin was almost insomnia and had never devoted himself to blacksmithing for a long period of a week, and he couldn't get out of his fatigue after three days.

Still, it seems somewhere proud and satisfactory because it is satisfactory. Alternatively, Vaniel's “compliments” may have influenced it.

Wearing a set of armor and wearing Dragon Slash and other weapons, the total weight is nearly 30 kilometers. Still, it felt light enough to move without "strengthening", and Reurus left the workshop to swing his sword quickly outside.

There is no problem with the feeling of moving lightly, but taking combat action can have different consequences. Therefore, Reus took a distance from Calvin and the others who tried to see him, and quickly reached out to the "Dragon Slasher" pattern.

Then the dwarf in charge of creating the sheath called out to the revulsion.

"Oh, that's the sheath, but I have a little trick."

"Huh? Listen to that..."

As Reus looked back, he made a metallic sound, Gachan, and the sheath “opened." Reus realized that his sword had been opened without pulling out the sheath, and Reus unexpectedly rounded his eyes.

"... what is this?"

"The sharpness of the sword is too good... if you take it out of your sheath normally, you'll probably break it in less than a month. I tried using a sheath to hold my sword without pulling it out."

"... what do you do when you put in your sword?

"If you pull out the sword, it will close, so please put it in normally. If your sheath is worn out, take care not to let the magic pass through your sword. That's why it won't open."

(Even magic equipment, but what kind of technology is it...)

When I checked the sheath, I saw some "magic letters" engraved on it. It's not a simple entanglement, it's a technique unique to dwarfs who use "magic letters."

(No, isn't it so difficult if the sheath opens after passing through the magic...?

I heard that there are magical instruments that generate certain attributes of magic through magic, but I wondered if it was still simple compared to that. Reus thought while amateurs.

With that in mind, Reus holds the Dragon Slash on his right shoulder. And I tried to shake it several times without even using the "reinforcement", but compared to the "dragon slashing" before it was damaged, it seemed to be slightly more comfortable.

It was made to suit the height of the current Reurus, etc., so the area is probably getting better. Slash it down, swing it up, swing the sword all the way through, and now start swinging it with "Reinforcement."

Swinging your sword doesn't prevent your armor from moving. Swinging the sword in a slightly reckless posture did not change, and the weapon as well as the armor were more comfortable to use.

(Meea usually adjusted it for me, but is it so different...)

The height does not increase by a few centimeters, and the fasteners and the like can be adjusted to suit the growing body. However, compared to the protective equipment that was made to suit the "current body” from the beginning, the difference was greatly felt.

"Whoa! What's it like!?

"Wonderful! Next time I'll try to move with all my might, we're a little further away!

Responding loudly to Calvin's voice, Reurus walks from the plains around the town of Speranza to the forest side. I could swing my sword, but I wanted to try it out.

Hold the Dragon Slash back on your right shoulder and take a deep breath. I suppose that's how the reflex concentrated on it.

(Speaking of which, it's been since the last battle to use Calorie Liberation... it's got a lot of magic and I need to be careful.)

Previously, during the development of the town of Speranza, I used "Caloric Liberation" on the Kimira opponent in a state of "full belly”, and as a result, I slashed the surrounding trees in dozens of units while being pushed by violent magic.

Therefore, while conscious of suppressing magic, I use "caloric release".

Ugh!

Because the magic is too abundant, the power is overflowing from the bottom of the body. However, it was held back at its critical point, and Reurus took deep breaths many times.

If this is a real battle, you can use the momentum to slash it, but now the goal is to make sure you feel comfortable using Dragon Slash and Armor. For this reason, while controlling his magic, Reus used his physical abilities, which had been bottomed up by "caloric liberation," to kick the ground in a powerful way.

Rushing, stepping in, and flashing "Dragon Slash" toward a tree that seems likely to have a hug.

――――

Reurus, who wielded out the "Dragon Slasher", felt doubtful that there was no response. Until then, there was no feeling of slashing anything, and Reurus unexpectedly looked at the tree in front of him.

I didn't make a mistake. When I started waving my sword, I wouldn't make such an easy mistake now. With that in mind, Reurus touched the tree - and the tree swayed.

"Ugh!? Slash it properly... hmm?

Apparently the sharpness was too good to respond. It was a revulsion that was decided, but as the cut tree fell backwards, there were also anomalies around it.

I didn't intend to put so much magic into it, but the surrounding trees began to collapse. Obviously, the trees were cut further than the range where the "Dragon Slash" was shaken, and Reus raised his eyebrows.

I didn't fly the magic blade. However, in spite of the power that could not be exhausted to suppress the magic that was about to break out, it exerted an incredible sharpness.

(This is... as Vaniel says, if you don't be careful, you might even kill your ally.)

With as much magic as possible, how much sharpness can you exert if you shake it with all your might? While remembering his desire to see it, Reurus sheathed the Dragon Slash to admonish himself.

(It's really dangerous to have a weapon that doesn't suit your skill... but this one does.)

--That black sphere will be cut in half.

With that conviction, Reurus smiled bitterly.

"But normally, it would be better if you were a little older... but I don't hate horses."

Reurus turned his foot toward Eliza as he thought it would be difficult to get on.

……………………

"... hmm?

I felt like I heard something. However, it was small enough to think it was because of my mind, and yet there was a slight discomfort like when "ideological calls" were connected.

"Has anybody just used 'Thought Call' on me?

What are you talking about?

I checked with Eliza and the others, but they just tilted their necks. Natalia walks in, wondering when Reurus was joining us for a tour as he leans his neck.

"Reurus, how comfortable are your weapons and armor?

"I'd say it's no problem... but I wonder if it's too comfortable to use. The rest is going to have to get used to it."

"Yes... then it's time to go and solve the“ next problem ”. We've been away from the abandoned city of Laval longer than planned, and we'll head back over there first. Then let's get ready... and head for King's Landing."

That said, Natalia, who was supposed to have already returned to the abandoned city of Laval, smiled bitterly.
