Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and banished from the Brave Party, but I can teach swordsmanship and witchcraft [All-purpose Instructor], so I decided to entrust my beloved apprentice with the King of Demons Crusade

"Heh. I didn't think so when I saw it before, but I knew it was Bail's art, his magic bow."

"You know what, Grimm?"

"Sort of. But I've never seen anything like that vale. That's amazing, it's a piece of magic. It doesn't look like that girl's magic, so maybe there's something karaki about the weapon. Interesting. Don't hesitate to use it because it's not your magic, and if you're a magician, everyone wants it."

Central tower level two. That's a surveillance room with multiple monitors and consoles. I was observing the battle that Grimm and Garde were having in a certain room over the monitor.

"Hmm, but is it good, Grimm? Don't go to the lift."

"I looked at the schematics, and there are two lifts, so it's okay. I think we should stop at the boulder."

When Grimm saw the battle taking place in the wide space in front of the lift, he gave a frightened look.

Seen, the space was rough as if a storm had passed.

At the heart of the destruction were two shadows. One was a beauty with red hair and the other was a blonde girl.

"You're bad at dealing with an ancient dragon at the beginning of this boulder."

"And that kid... I thought he was your apprentice or something... hmm, you've become a dragoon. It's totally different than before."

"... you're strong"

"We're all tough enough to get here - you (...) and them (...) too (...)"

Grimm laughed and turned to the entrance to the surveillance room.

"... found out"

"So I told you it was no use, Jorne"

It was Lore and Jorne who suddenly appeared there. In the magic of Yorne's [Transparency (Invisibility)], the two had been sneaking up on Grimm and Garde, but Grimm had spotted it lightly.

"The magic was seen (...) a time (...) before (...) or (...) et al. (...)"

"A human being... in a place like this"

Garde set up a great sword, and Lore also pulled out a black sword.

"Demons..."

Yorne, cover me.

"Oh, wait a minute -"

By the time Jorne uttered the word, Lore had already rushed.

"I don't have time to play."

"Never mind. I'll be done in a minute."

As Garde declared so, he unleashed a great sword on Lower. Lore takes it with his sword and cleverly shifts that blow up as it is.

"Oh."

"Much for what it looks like - that's light!!

He played Garde's sword as Lore roared and jumped into his nostalgia. Lower, who had already made the transition to poking, protrudes his sword into Garde's [flame nucleus].

"Do it."

A flaming sword appeared as Grimm waved with laughter, preventing Lower from poking. As if he knew it would happen, Garde changes the orbit of the bounced sword with force moves without even avoiding the burst of lore.

Now the Great Sword of Garde strikes from over the head of Lower, which has become full of gaps.

"... already! [Diamond Wall]"

Jorne turns his short cane and activates the magic trick. When a translucent shield appeared over Lower's head, it stopped Garde's great sword. Sparks scatter and shock sounds.

"Ha!! [Fool's Flash (Lugner)]"

Purple electricity ran on the black sword in his hand with Lower's roar, knocking the slaughter that drew the tail of the thunder as Lower twisted his body into Garde's flank.

A series of Lower strikes continue in Garde, which raises the Great Sword to the floor and prevents a thunderous blow of Lower.

"[Lord of Greed (Schwein)] - [Thorn Yang Flower (Revenza)] Huh!!

Garde prevents with a great sword the speed of thunder and the sword attack of Lore so powerful that even the giant Garde is likely to be blown away by the great sword he is gripping if he is distracted.

During that exchange Lore felt strange discomfort.... sheltering something? Lore felt like such a move.

Grimm, on the other hand, looked at Journe sparingly, and Journe was asking how he was going to unleash his magic without chanting if there was a gap.

Both groups coincidentally, a combination of swordsmen and magicians, nature and battle antagonized.

But Jorne understood perfectly well that it was because the demonic girl in front of him didn't mean it at all.

Journe thinks as he observes the exchange of swords and swords happening in front of him. Lore and this demon clan have a good battle if they only look at the part called sword moves. If I cover Lore with witchcraft, I could probably push him to win, but it was visible that Grimm would knock the witchcraft in the moment I showed that gap.

Therefore, Nature and Journey had to constantly think about countermagic (counter magic) to Grimm's magic, and Lower and Garde's offense was even too fast to choose the best magic in Journey.

If Grimm moves aggressively, perhaps the battle will soon follow. Of course Jorne is not willing to lose at all, either, but he anticipated so, which is why he was annoyed by the margins of the immobile Grimm.

But it was Grimm who moved first.

Grimm opened her mouth as she slapped her hands with bread.

"Garde, let's end this. Unfortunately, we don't have time for this today."

With those words, backsteps as Garde waved the Great Sword, which prevented Lore's sword. Return to the side of the grimm.

"Loa! Wait! Stay!"

Yorne screams at Lower trying to chase Garde.

"Am I a dog?"

I stopped my leg. Lower shouted. The thunder that wraps around Lore's sword calms down.

"Haha. Nice, green-haired you. I can see the situation. You don't do that, either, brunette. No, I knew you weren't afraid of humans, Garde."

"... it's hard to fight without breaking the console"

Garde said so in disgruntlement, bearing the great sword on his shoulder.

"I thought you were making funny moves. Seriously, call me."

Lore provokes, but in the next moment he was being beaten with a short cane in the back of his head.

"Silly! Don't provoke me!

"Why stop when the Demons are in front of you, Journey?"

Grimm replied instead of Jorne to the strange lore.

"Because we found it mutually detrimental to contend here - right?

Even a little irritated by being ahead of the thought, Jorne agreed.

"I don't know why you guys are in these ruins... but there's got to be some purpose... And at least it doesn't kill us... with attitude."

"They're demons, Jorne. I don't know what the purpose is, but whatever the other person thinks, it's something to take down."

"That... at least... shouldn't be what we should be doing right now..."

"Fair enough. If Jorne says so, I will obey."

Lore kept his sword in place, but when he said that, he dissipated his killing spirit.

"Yeah, yeah, you said Garde, right? He said he can talk and negotiate with smart people."

"... admit it"

When Garde put the sword back on his back, he put his thick arms together and nodded deeply.

"We have a truce, a non-interference pact with certain adventurers... will you do the same? From what I've seen, your aim doesn't seem to be the ancient dragon, does it?

"... not really... but I appreciate the offer. I... just want to find materials from the old world"

"I argue for the ancient dragon... nothing"

The moment Lore opened his mouth, Jorne's short cane stabbed him in the back, so he hurried and Lore clasped his mouth.

"Materials... I see. But don't think there's no more paper material like you can imagine."

"No way... different medium...?

"Yes! Except if you have the equipment to make it play."

Playback…… medium…… equipment. Jorne sounded familiar with those words. I remember there was definitely a place in the research facility underground at [Royal Dragon College] where Journey graduated with such artifacts.

"That's... where do I get it?

"I have the medium itself, too ~. If you want to access the data bank to the boulder... while there is the main console, you have to go to the (...) central (...) room (...)"

"... central control room"

"We're going there, too, but you want to come with us?

As if inviting him to a picnic, Grimm said yes to Yorne, but Yorne shook his head.

"I refuse... the Demons are enemies... and that feeling doesn't change me or him"

"Too bad. Then I'll give you this on your approaching mark. If you give it to the main console, you can unplug the data on your own, so it's easy. I'm glad you brought spares."

That's what Grimm threw something at.

When Lore grabbed it with his hand and spread his palm and looked at it, it was a silver elongated metal.

"... Preliminary means... is that what the material is for?

"Well, is that a subtarget? Well, you don't have to worry. Just copy it and the data won't disappear, so it's okay. Go ahead, then. We'll work here a little longer before we head out."

"Yes... then... the contract... don't forget"

"Of course."

"… [Transparency (Invisibility)]"

When Jorne activated the magic, Lore and Jorne disappeared.

Grimm laughs making sure the signs disappeared from the room.

"hehe... nice funny... now you're my second friend"

"You don't seem to think so over there, though?

"You don't say such wild things. See, rumors..."

Grimm watches one monitor. That was footage of a rough space in front of the lift.

"What happened?

The space the Reds jumped into was brilliantly rough of things. The floor and walls have been destroyed so much that I wonder if the bomb has been thrown in. Only the vicinity with the door that would lead to the lift was unharmed making it extra attractive.

"There's already a lift running. But... it's the destruction inside."

Some parts of the fire were still smoking, and I couldn't imagine what happened to Redo, either, as there was a water hoard on the floor.

And to Ledo, I didn't have time to guess it.

"Huh!! Li (...) - (...) de (...)!!"

Everyone responded to Irene's sad cry and turned their gaze to the other aisle.

Coming out of that darkness was a cat-backed man in a broad hat by his side and - a hooded reed.
