(Now, what shall we do?)

Tenji's thinking became clearer due to his numerical superiority.

Because the complicated process of dealing with the troublesome dark coat, damaging the ashes, and making them incapable of battle with more effort so as not to kill them, was completely gone.

Unfortunately, Tenji's [Prison Beast Summoning] vocation was excellent at killing or torturing people.

That's why it wasn't suitable for capturing him alive. For now.

(I'm sorry for Ash-san... but it looks like it's sooner to do that)

All that Tenji has to do now is focus on doing something about that dark power.

To be more precise, I didn't want to give them enough room to wrap around my dark coat.

There was an optimal technique to make it.

If you just do that, my friend Mizue Katsumasa will do something about it.

"Ah, that's heavy. I wonder if you can do something about it... I'll kill you myself, I'll do that."

Suddenly, the ashes disappeared into the darkness as they fell to the ground.

Shin, and a few times the silence enveloped the battlefield.

The sound vanishes from the ashes that vanished into the darkness.

And... wherever there is darkness, it appears from everywhere.

Now it's time for the sunset to fall and the darkness to dominate the night.

Ashes can come from all directions.

Again?

According to the timing of the disappearance, the water river sharpens and clarifies the nerves in all directions.

Just one sound, murderous aura, intimidation, let go of the five senses naturally so as not to miss them all.

A small murderous aura came from behind.

Mizue quickly waved her sword behind her and tried to slap her when she came out of the darkness.

But--the sound of a sharp cut in the sky echoed.

Mizue's expression slightly warped in surprise.

Fake?

"Heehee, you're dead."

Such a voice is heard from the front of the water river.

I used the backward momentary movement to bluff, but Feint was setting up the ashes.

Aiming at the heart of Mizue, he tried to pierce a sharp spear bound with a thread of darkness.

But ─ ― the ash attack was also in vain.

"The direction is honest."

Mizue, who sensed the unpleasant air, was using her flexible body to lie down behind her.

Without stopping the movement, the next sword in my left hand swung diagonally upward from the neck of the ash. But --- the ashes were on the verge of evading with their necks tilted back.

Those offensives were clearly beyond the reach of the students.

It was close to the battle that was fought by the best among the professionals.

Preview after preview - that's all we're trying to do to keep ourselves alive.

However, Tenji is not here to see it.

"I finally got him."

When he realized it, Tenji was grabbing the black head of the ash.

Both of them were quite aggressive in their defenses and dodges after the heavy evasions. I also had 1.5 seconds to activate the next move. Based on his previous combat experience, Tenge had figured out that the reuse time was about five seconds.

It may be said that it is only five seconds.

However, if I became an Explorer at this level, five seconds would be a deadly time.

It was difficult to make these five seconds when I was fighting alone.

But now I have the best professional next door who can keep all the others.

It was not a tenge to miss this period.

"--Give the dead flowers."

That day, it was the same wording as the words that the sake drinker uttered at that time.

Blossoming, Prison King Sword. Give flowers to the dead - Tenji was chanting the verse in the form of a demon.

With force, Tenji lifted the ashes with one hand and threw them high in the air.

(It's light... is this part of Mizue-kun's ability?)

I wonder at the strangely light ash body.

There was no escape to the ashes flying in the sky.

I searched desperately for where to run, and where the darkness I grasped was not in the sky.

Heehee!

But it was already too late when I found it.

My heart inside my body was throbbing strangely. It got hot. I noticed something rampant in my body. Even if I tried desperately to suppress it in the dark, I couldn't suppress its raging heat.

"Bloom, dead man."

The words inspired me.

Red and white flames overflowed from the ashes.

The flames leak out from every hole.

At the end - the dark sky blossomed with a big red and white flame.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!"

Too much pain, even the ashes that were shouting.

This is Tenji's own original technique to imitate the fire of torture that Tenji showed us. It was less powerful than the real thing, and the Sake Kid could activate it without touching the opponent.

However, Tenji could not fully reproduce it.

It could only be used while it was in direct contact with the opponent and while it was activating the demon.

Although there are such limitations, it can now be used as a similar ability.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!?"

For a few seconds, the bitter voice of the ashes echoed all over the place.

And--a dark coat that was covered in ashes began to fly.

I'll take care of it, Mizue-kun.

"Ohh!"

A tenge with a gentle smile that doesn't resemble a demon figure.

Mizue grabbed a small 500-yen coin of iron that was hanging on her waist, trying to keep up with her friend's figure. And throw it at the ashes.

Whether the shoulders are strong or the baseball player's face is losing speed, the iron mass flies.

"- [Inverted position]"

The river murmured quietly.

The next moment, the water river disappeared from next to Tenji.

The only iron lump that was there was the one I was supposed to throw.

When he noticed, Mizue had already touched the ashes of his suffering.
