A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 126: "Castle Collapse" Part 6

"How many days have you been staring at the furnace fire without sleep? But, hey, it's done! When Calvin was finished, he fainted with his white eyes, but it was trivial!

Sarah smiles happily with a sword she thinks is complete. But when I saw the whole bloody revulsion, I opened my eyes.

"Hey, hey! Reurus is not full of blood! What? What happened while I was gone!?

"After being launched high into the sky by the 'Castle Collapse', I avoided being crushed and I was just thrown away. What, my forehead was broken, my internal organs were damaged, and my right arm muscle was cut a thousand times."

"I don't know what it means!?

Sarah shouted with her eyes open, but she doesn't have time for that right now. Reurus stretches his left hand to Sarah's great sword and lifts it with force.

"Is this the new sword...?

Eliza's lightning spell stopped the Castle Collapse. With that in mind, it should be slashed at once, but Reurus looked at the new great sword and asked.

The length from the handle to the incision is about two meters, the largest of the large swords ever used. The weight is not so much, it feels slightly lighter than Dominic's great sword.

The sword was also wide and about three centimeters thick - for some reason, there was no blade attached.

How do you expect me to kill him now?

Although there is a slight discrepancy with one blade as ordered, the key sharpness does not seem to be at all. The sword is gray, close to black, but it seems like it can only be used as a blunt object if it is not sharpened yet.

"Ah, is that a sheath?

Sarah answered the question of Reurus. However, the confusion of Reurus deepens when he hears the words.

"Sheath? No... how do you pull it out?

There is no blade, but I didn't think it was a sheath because it has the shape of a sword. I tried my best, but the sword never came out of my sheath.

"I have a little work to do. It should react to the magic of Reurus, so try passing the magic through the sword."

That said, Reurus can put magic into the Great Sword with the intention of flying the magic blade. Then the sword came out of the sheath like a lie.

――――

And when he saw the sword pulled out, Reurus lost his word.

Naturally, the sword is smaller than the sheath. But I instantly realized that even an amateur Reurus who didn't know the good or bad of a sword was a business.

The length of the pattern is about 40 cm, and the blade span is about one and a half meters by sight. The sword is stained with bright bright red, and there is no “decoration”, such as a blade print.

Has it been polished up already? The blade emitting silver light has a sharp shine, and if I touch it with my finger, my finger is going to fall. There are no Tsubaki, but they have a shape very similar to Dominic's great sword.

In contrast to the bonelessness of the sheath, the red sword felt even a strange fragrance of boiling heart.

--This is definitely a demon sword or magic sword.

I have not actually seen a demon sword or magic sword, but Reus was so attracted to the great sword in front of me.

If this is the case, "Castle Collapse" can also be slashed. Rock or iron. Rather, I want to know what cannot be slashed. Both monsters and “humans” will be cut more easily than butter with a hot knife. Rather, it may be slashed with the feeling of slashing air.

"It's been a tough time! You can't let me sleep because you want to, you can't move from the front of the furnace, and you're torturing me just to keep the fire under control."

Sarah was saying something, but it didn't reach Reurus' ear.

Reurus stares at the red sword. You can't even breathe, just stare.

Now I still hold the handle with my left hand, but I get used to it strangely. When I tried to hold the handle with both hands, there was no discomfort as if it were sucking on my hand. The comfort is enough to forget the pain in your right arm.

"Ha... hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Without knowing it, my lips arced and laughed on my own. Reurus laughs from the bottom of his stomach and puts his strength into the hand that grips the handle.

The weapons Reurus has ever used were originally made for “someone”. Even Dominic's great sword, which was the easiest to use, is a substitute that even the maker who came from other places doesn't know.

Body, arm length, palm size to arm strength. The gripping comfort of a pattern that is commensurate with their size and weight, has a center of gravity, and is still tailored to the shape of the hand is only the best.

--Or perhaps even the word "best" doesn't apply.

"Hey... hey! This is amazing! I thought we'd just have to use the weapon, except for this one!

"Eh, ah, uh, Reurus? What's the matter with you?

Reurus rejoiced innocently, as if he had forgotten that his body was covered with blood and injuries. The leopard asked while pulling Sarah, but Reurus just laughed in a good mood.

"Reurus, you got your weapon in time!? Then I need you to hurry!

Eliza screamed like she was in a hurry to hear the laughter of Reurus, who couldn't help but laugh. After being caught in the scream, Reurus turned his gaze, and there was a figure of "castle collapse" that began to move the giant body from the stiffness caused by lightning magic.

The shock of the red sword was so great that I forgot I was in battle.

Reurus can focus on the hand holding the handle, but even if he receives the grip of Reurus using "caloric release", the great sword does not absorb fine dust. Rather, the “power” felt from the Great Sword was so great that I wondered if Reurus was less powerful.

It would be a mistake to think of a great sword that hasn't shaken yet and that hasn't slaughtered any enemies. But Reurus definitely thought this sword was the best.

All you have to do is grasp it and your heart will leap like this. How sharp will you show me if you shake it with all your might? The power is the same, but I'm sorry to shake it with an immature skill.

If you describe “that feeling” in one word, you'll love it at first sight. There was an apology and excitement to associate a superior opposite sex with a mediocre self.

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Reurus was distracted by a squeezing voice when he saw Eliza's "castle collapse" removed from the effects of lightning magic. Thousands of teeth rub against each other to intimidate, but the Reurus who saw it silently holds a red sword.

As usual, he held a large sword with both hands on his right shoulder and leaned forward. There is still magic left in "Caloric Release". In about five minutes, the magic will not run out.

Reurus thought that that was enough.

Reurus kicks the ground silently and rushes like a bullet. Until then, as if it were a lie, it storms from the front to the "castle collapse".

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

"Castle Collapse" swirled sharply on the spot in response to the Reus coming from the front. Twist your torso to the axis and swing your long body straight to the side.

The blow approached Reurus, knocking down the surrounding trees - Reurus laughed.

The lower half of the huge "castle collapse", like a tsunami. Evade would have been all we could have done, but Reurus chose to intercept, not evade.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Roar from the bottom of your belly and step straight into the giant body that is about to be killed. If your physical abilities are enhanced by "caloric release," I'm sure that the red sword on your right shoulder will also "convince” you.

With a big red sword, you can tear apart the body of "Castle Collapse". It's not prediction, it's certainty. If you can't slash it, it's just that you don't have enough power to use Reurus.

Still, I'm not lost in Reurus. Strongly stepped into the momentum to say that even if the bones of his feet were broken, he put magic into the great sword held on his right shoulder and waved it down with all his strength - "That's it”.

Kim, there's a clear sound. It was a very pleasant, dry sound that reached Reurus's ear after the great sword was shaken.

--The tail of "Castle Collapse" dances in the air.

Rather than the outer skin of the "Castle Collapse", Reus realized that he had “rounded up” his flesh because the flesh of the "Castle Collapse" had fallen to the ground.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

A few seconds later, he realized that his flesh had been slashed, and the "Castle Collapse" shouted.

Reurus slashed the tail and about 70% of the "Castle Collapse" body remained, but he didn't think he would be cut with a swing of a sword. Reurus only slashed his sword with magic, but it had enough sharpness to make it.

"I see... as long as there's a weapon that can be slashed, that's the only trouble."

Reurus doesn't really understand how he slashed it either. I thought it would be possible if it was a big red sword, but there was no blood or fat on the sword of "castle collapse".

Still, there are things we can understand about Reurus today. The "castle collapse" in front of me is certainly a nasty monster, but the only trouble is the size of the figure.

The difficulty seems to be high when you need a weapon that can slash the body of the "Castle Collapse", but even the most important weapon can be slaughtered with immature reuses. When I understood it, I felt that the "castle collapse", which had looked huge until then, had become smaller.

"... hmm?

When Reurus took over the Great Sword, he felt strong magic in a remote place. When I checked to make sure I didn't distract myself from the "Castle Collapse", Eliza, who had just cast a lightning spell, was preparing for the second shot.

I focused my magic on the tip of the wand, aiming at the "castle collapse". When I was using "Chant," I was at my limit with one shot, but apparently I was able to shoot multiple shots thanks to my cane.

And after a short while, Eliza's lightning spell was cast. "Castle Collapse" felt the magic before taking evasive action, but Eliza's lightning magic paralyzed a wide area even if she could avoid a direct hit.

"Castle Collapse" tried to dive into the ground, but it must have been influenced by the fact that a part of his body was slashed by the Reurus. While lurking on the ground, Eliza's lightning magic strikes directly, numbing her body.

"Ooooooooooooo!"

There is no reason to miss it. When Reurus fills the space at full speed, he slashes his head into the ground to the stiff "castle collapse".

He stepped in without killing the momentum filled in between, turning his body and causing the red sword to run straight to the side.

The great sword that wielded with magic slashed and tore the ore wrapped in the "castle collapse", as well as the flexible and robust outer skin, and the muscles underneath the outer skin, and pushed through to the opposite side.

Is it because of the magic of Reurus that "Castle Collapse" is slashed more than the blade of the big red sword? Or is it a kind of miracle that the sharpness has become?

Reurus, who cut off his neck, suddenly murmured with his sword cut out.

"This is terrible... I'm afraid I can't help it."

Zero such a murmur - the body of the "castle collapse", which was cut off by the neck, sank to the ground with a roar.
