A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 337: Mock Warfare Part 5

(I didn't think so, but I didn't really think it would come out...)

Reurus groans in his heart as Bernard waves his spear to perform a preparatory exercise.

(You said you were on schedule... and that Ellio would beat him, but you mean you're on schedule to keep fighting from there? My husband is also weird.....)

As Collard had said beforehand, there would be no problem with Reurus fighting with all his might - it would be Bernard, not Ellio.

I can assure you that just by looking at the behavior and feeling the majesty.

Even if I added the age of the previous life, Bernard would still be older, but it was understandable at first glance that his body was being forged. In addition, I can understand that I have a lot of practical experience and have crossed many dead lines, even if I don't like it when I look at it.

In a mock battle, no dust has floated before the battle. It is obvious that it is like swinging a spear and slaughtering an enemy as an extension of daily routine.

The problem is that the opponent is Reurus himself, but since it's not a real fight, even if he loses, he won't take his life.

If you believe Natalia's words, you are the closest to the top of a great nation called Mataroi.

In terms of gaining experience, there are no more opponents soon. I wonder if Natalia's enthusiasm is influenced by that.

(But I don't know....)

With the Dragon Slash on his right shoulder, Reus turned to Bernard.

Although Ellio used "Caloric Release" on his opponent, there was no magic anxiety because he had a short match. There will be errors because of the physical feeling, but there should be more than enough to use 'caloric release'.

But even if it has magic, it's a different matter. I don't know if I need to win, but there are some verses that seem “natural to lose” as far as Bernard's behavior and Natalia's reaction are concerned.

Of course I don't think I can beat Bernard with Reurus. If Ellio is against him, he can win with a simple “power difference”, even if he is inferior to the technology, but the magic that Bernard can feel is enormous.

Not as much as Rebecca, but as far as Reurus knows, it's a magical giant that will fit into three fingers in humans. If I expressed that the magic was greater than the spirits Sarah and Neddy, I could tell that I didn't like the magnitude.

If you use 'Enhance' with that massive magic, it will exert a threatening power. It was an imitation of a magical doll, but it would exert the same power as Rebecca.

(... wait. If you think this guy's Rebecca, this could be a valuable experience.

There may be different ways to fight, but in terms of strength, there are signs that not only Rebecca but also the Bishop of Gregory will win.

Being able to fight such a Bernard simulation would certainly be a valuable experience.

A battle against an opponent that you can see as "superior” by looking at. It was really precious - Reurus felt the bloody tide making a noise.

I thought about it while fighting Ellio, but I didn't have to think about the details. Everything around here is thrown at Natalia. And I suggest that Natalia come and fight.

"People like you don't seem to be able to do anything except fight....."

Bernard, who was preparing to read the feelings of the Reurus, called out.

"You don't have to worry about that, do you?

You must have felt the lethality of Reurus, Bernard tells you to snort. There were no shards of alarm there, and I felt like laughing bitterly as a revulsion.

(I wonder why only strong people don't stay alert... no, because they don't stay alert, they survive until they get stronger)

If you were more careful, you might be able to fight, but Reurus thinks. It would nevertheless be a valuable experience, including its carelessness.

"One before we fight, okay?

"Let's hear it."

Bernard replies briefly when Reurus points his magic at the Dragon Slasher.

"I don't think I can win, but it seems like I can't leave without fighting anyway... but can I face you with" all my strength ”?

That said, Reurus pulls the Dragon Slash out of his sheath. The bright red sword touches the air and sparkles in the sun like a voice of joy under the magic of Reurus.

When I was with Ellio, I didn't miss it, but Bernard couldn't spare it. I had an instinct that waving my sword with the intention of killing would not kill me.

"Of course."

As Bernard answers, he lowers his hips and puts his spear in the middle.

The bronze spear, nearly three meters long, was boneless, but it felt elegant. In direct contrast, Ellio's swinging spear was a different specialty.

At such a distance of about ten meters from Bernard, Reus took a forward leaning position using "caloric release" while carrying the "Dragon Slash" on his right shoulder.

Natalia raises her right hand when Reurus and Bernard are ready.

"Well... here we go!

With the proclamation of the beginning, Natalia's right hand was waved down - Reus immediately waved down the great sword.

It was an act of mid-reflection, and it was at the moment when Reurus realized what he had done that he shook down his great sword.

"Hmm!?

A high metal sound and a violent impact on both hands. Rather than perceiving it, Reurus sees what is happening.

Bernard was moving at the same time as the announcement of the start. With a spear on his head, he slipped across the ground and sprayed a prick on Reurus's face.

Immediately after the declaration of commencement, it will take a few moments to actually focus on the “battle”. Bernard was careless, but relentless, as he threw his spear in between.

Reurus was able to play the approaching tip because he had previously used "Calorific Release". Had you looked as hard as Ellio did, you would have had a match in the first blow.

"... uhh"

Bernard leaked a slightly impressive voice to the realus that played the tip of the ear. But Bernardo, who was supposed to have stepped on Reus, was sometime away.

He retreated with his spear in the same position as he did at the beginning of the war, opening his distance.

(If I hadn't used 'Caloric Release', it would have ended with a single blow... or something...)

Bernard moved his spear to slide. The movement is such that it is likely to drive Reurus mad at his perspective that Reurus not only tracks him with his eyes, but also finds his exact position by exploring the distance from Bernard's magic.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Before Bernard moved again, he moved from Reurus. With his sharp exhalation, he waved "Dragon Slash" sideways, releasing a magical blade. Then, with the "Dragon Slash" switched off, follow the magical blade and fill the distance with Bernard.

The magical blade is irresistible, but Bernard will neither die nor be taken for granted. It is a Reurus who tries to make that decision and challenge a melee, but Bernard's actions have exceeded expectations.

"Nnnh!

Without avoiding or defending, Bernard stepped in with a magical blade. Then a spike is thrown, and the magic blade is pierced and sprayed with the tip of the spear.

('Deactivate'?!

Bernard's spear continued the momentum of penetrating the magic blade and approached Reurus. Reus cut up the "Dragon Slasher" standing on the left side, hit the handle of the spear, and strayed from track.

(Oh-uh-uh!?

I couldn't play the spear more than I expected, and it ended up just avoiding the hit.

The spear that Bernard controls doesn't move that much, even though he played it diagonally from below. Despite using "Calorific Release," it is.

"Hmm... that's a lot of power."

However, from Bernard's point of view, it was an event worthy of praise. The spear was instantly pulled back and muttered, and the spear fell to the side with a realuse that had stopped its feet.

― ― If you jump and avoid it, you may die in the air with no escape, penetrating your torso.

--If you crouch down and dodge, you'll die this time with your spear down and your skull smashed.

--If you jump backwards and avoid it, the tip of the hot pot that was launched in pursuit will catch the heart and die.

In a mock battle, Reurus instantly smells the three smells of death and chooses to intercept. I hit "Dragon Slash" with the handle of an approaching spear.

"Gu!?

And it was a shock that seemed like an illusion that even a giant iron ball had hit it. The impact on both arms is intense, and Reurus desperately pushes his body into being repelled.

Hmm!

The moment Reurus stopped moving, Bernard pulled his spear and twisted his body. And using the momentum of pulling the spear, he kicks forward like a spear.

To cut off that leg, it moves fast. Therefore, Reus aggressively took the kick with the “belly” of "Dragon Slash".

"Uhh, uhhh!?

― ― For each "Dragon Slash" that stopped kicking, Reurus's body floated in space.

Both legs are thrown away from the ground and, albeit slightly, into the air.

(What about the pursuit...!?

I didn't get a direct hit somehow. Then Bernard will come after us relentlessly.

With that in mind, Reurus saw Bernard gradually moving away in slow-motion vision. Turn your left hand toward Reurus and concentrate your magic.

"Ooooooooooo!"

I don't care if my posture collapses. It's better to intercept Bernard's magic than to “do that."

Purple electricity is discharged from Bernard's left hand. Feeling the aura from the magic, Reus releases "Dragon Slash" aggressively, which cannot be shaken immediately by the impact of the air and kicked, and pulls out the sword of "neck hunting" while flashing with magic.

The sound of thunder and the impact on the right hand holding the "neck hunting" sword. Though the lightning strike was not so powerful, it ripped apart without a problem, but the fact made Bernard feel that he was still struggling.

As Reus landed, he held the "neck hunting" sword in his sheath and grabbed it without looking at the "dragon slashing" pattern that had fallen.

Slight clashes, less than a few dozen seconds of battle. Still, Reurus, who felt his strength difference, calmed down while reconfiguring the "Dragon Slash".

(Holy shit... no, I'm so sorry...)

Compared to Ellio, the difficulty differs by more than a single digit. What does it mean to feel like you're about to die in a mock fight?

I wondered slightly why I was fighting this opponent - without knowing it, Reurus' cheeks were hanging to make a smile.
