"... Redik"

I hadn't had a husband in a long time, and he looked at his back and groaned again on his journey.

When he asked for the child, he left the village again, without looking back.

Now, I get it. Redick knows what it is. Something that could harm us.

And we went on a journey to work it out.

I'm, I'm... what do I... do?

He said to ask for a child.

Children... Ray and Skult...

Ray is not here right now. I'm in Wang Du.

If you don't go...

I have to protect Ray, Skull, both of you...

As soon as I got home, I began to support myself.

Prepare for the King's Capital.

I'm anxious to take a young skull and go down a road that will take as long as two weeks, but both of us have to go to the King's Capital if I'm to protect them.

That's how I took Skull out of town.

I asked Lattice to give a message to Redick and told him I was going to King's Capital before leaving.

Wait for me, Ray. I'm coming now...

"Well, that's not a very good situation."

I was in the Guild Commander's office and was thinking about the contact I received.

The contents were a reminder that the army of demons was in the nearby mountains, including a few tens of S-grades.

"... With that idiot, I can handle it... I have no choice but to offer my cooperation to Lord Graham."

When I wore the mask, I left Gabardi and headed towards the village of Sierra.

"Excuse me. Is Lord Graham home?

"Oh, Mr. Urkel. Can I help you? My husband would be looking around the village right now..."

Right. Are you there now?

Let me make you wait here.

Ask Lattis, Graham's wife, again.

"Was I? Mind if I wait here?

"Go ahead. No big deal..."

"Never mind. I suddenly asked," It's my fault. "

I said myself badly that it was bad to make me care.

So, after a while of public speaking, Graham went home.

We greet each other gently and get down to business.

"Actually, urgent news came from the King's Capital. A large number of demons could push in the surrounding districts of Gabardi... I would therefore like to request your help from Lord Graham. I know I don't currently have that idiot, but I'm anxious about my power because of it. For that reason, I would like you and Mr. Lattice to cooperate."

"I see. You mean... he went on a journey..."

Graham shook his head as he was convinced and stated so.

"Do you still think this anomaly caused Redick to embark on the journey?

"Oh. He's an idiot, but it's not like he hasn't thought of anything. I thought there had to be some reason to travel."

Sure, Redick has been a fool without thought for a long time, but he hasn't thought of anything.

I'm thinking and acting somewhat.

"Let's cooperate. But we don't have enough hands. Somewhere, if we don't put it together..."

"Now the guilders are splitting up and transferring people from the surrounding villages to Gabardi. There are no other acceptable cities around here than Gabardi."

"But then you wouldn't be able to, would you? You can't afford that."

The number of surrounding villages is 5.

Less than 10,000 people. Quite a few. Gabardi is not enough.

"Exactly. So gather those who can fight here and stop the demons coming from the mountains. Located just between the mountain and Gabardi, this is very convenient. Plus, I can set a trap because I know where the demons are going."

"I see… indeed, the mountains and Gabardi, and this village, are situated in a linear fashion. Then it would be better to stop here, with less damage. So let's do it. I'll take care of the report and transfer to the villagers."

About 2,000 people can hide in this village.

After that, all you have to do is stop the demons from coming forward.

With me and these two, and Mullah, it's not impossible.

"Well, thank you. And your son's coming home, isn't he?

"What?"

"They're sending us from Dilberg as reinforcements to whatever's going on here."

"... you still got that kid who's not even a knight?

Graham seemed to wonder that his non-knightly son would be sent.

Sure, that's all you'll find strange.

I added more words.

"I hear you had a strong request. From Redick's son... I hear he finished class S. So you and your son are just as strong..."

"⁉ Is that true...? Those kids can beat S... Ku, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha, Ku Ha Then there's no problem with Dick coming."

Graham laughs softly and speaks happily.

Some parts of it didn't make sense, but I didn't touch it.

Now is not the time.

We must prepare for the battle.

He then set up an operation in preparation for the battle and decided on the placement of those who could fight.

Along the way, I learned that Mullah had headed to the King's Capital, and a little anxiety aroused me, but I switched my mind that I had to do something about it.

"Father, Mother, I'm home"

"You're home a lot, Dick. You look good."

Welcome home, Dick.

I haven't been home in a long time. [M]

There seems to be no one I know but the two of us for emergencies right now.

The city was a lot different, too.

Things like urban buildings stood side by side and had a completely different landscape.

"Something's changed a lot, this village too..."

I felt a little missed and squeaked.

"Right. Indeed, it has changed. They're all built by you, Ray..."

"Eh ⁉ ray is ⁉"

Did Ray do it again...

What are you really doing, Ray...

"Dick, how are things at school?

"... yeah, I'm a knight chief"

"Right. Did you become a knight chief that year? Looks like you're trying."

"Yeah, but... I wonder what Ray's doing. Are you going to school properly...?

I asked if my father might know. [M]

"I don't know about the school, but they beat the S-class."

"... Huh? Grade S...?

"Oh. How about you? Can you win?"

He asked me if I could win, and I couldn't answer immediately. [M]

I've never even fought Class A.

And yet they didn't pin it when they said S grade.

However, I was surprised that Ray was already that strong.

I can't lose, either.

"... I'll win. You can't lose to Ray."

"... well. Don't be impotent."

"Yeah."

If Ray says he defeated S-Class, I can't lose either. Be sure to knock them down.

That's my relationship with Ray.

You can't crush that.

Most importantly, I regret losing.

I have recruited a fighting spirit to the S-level I have yet to see. [M]

Dogowowo on.

"Hey, what now?

"Kiki, the Knight Commander, the demon, the demon."

"I'm not a knight now, Alice."

I give Alice back the same way I call her when I'm in school.

I am now under the 3rd Knights.

So I'm not a knight chief. It's just a knight.

Alice's not a vice knight now either, she's just... what is it?

Alice wasn't sent.

I just came about it on my own.

Tell me how dangerous it is to be alone.

Is school okay...?

"So what happened?

"Eh, it sounds amazing, and then there's the demon..."

"It is. So you're finally coming."

I looked over the mountain and waited for a demon I hadn't seen yet.

"Knight... D, why does Dikuld seem so happy?

"I guess that's... a secret"

She asked me with a smile what made Alice happy.

Usually it would be like being scared or panicking at times like this.

But I've been looking forward to fighting S-class these past few days.

It might be strange to see it from other sources.

Still, I was looking forward to fighting if I didn't want to lose to Ray.

Besides, it's just good to know if there's a difference between me and Ray right now.

For me, this is the night before the vows.

"If I had an S-level, I'd do it alone."

"Uh ⁉ No, you can't! Oh, it's dangerous!

"I'm fine. I... I can't lose."

"Well, if you lose, the villagers are in danger..."

Alice seems to have misunderstood why I said I couldn't lose.

Sure, there's that, but there's no problem there.

We have fathers and mothers here, and reinforcements made it.

There's no way we're losing this.

So it's more important now to see how different I am from Ray.

"Ah, you're here. Which one's S-grade?

I saw a bunch of demons, and I asked Alice what grade S was.

Alice has great sword arms, but she has better detection than that. Compared to the active Knights, it's enough to jump to the top.

That detection capability was bought, and I can tell you I'm a vice knight at school.

Detection skills are very comforting as support, so even in the active Knights, such people often become deputy Knights chiefs.

The Knight Commander needs strength once in it, but the Deputy Knight Commander doesn't.

But not in Alice's case.

She is also impeccable in strength. Except for me, I'm the second strongest in school. For once, she's older.

"Uh, that's it. Ho, are you sure you want to do this alone?

"Yeah. All right, well, I'll be there."

"What, hey... he's gone..."

I left Alice alone and ran into a bunch of demons.

No one has stormed yet.

Best of all.

I got this S-grade.

With that in mind, I activated my skills.

My skills are specific to strengthening my body.

So that's what I just used.

Speed up even more, I took over. [M]

"Out of the way, spiritual light"

I saved light on my sword, aura, and let it go to the demon in front of me.

The light out of the sword pierces the demon, as does the demon in the back.

"Spiritual Light Slash"

I shook the light straight out of my sword. [M]

Only then did the 100 or so pi monster leave its body after a massive slash and disappear.

But still, there were a lot of demons left between me and S class.

"That's a lot...... let's do it all at once. Spiritual Light Dispersion, Shaped Arrows"

The light stretched from the sword falls apart, shaping the arrows.

The number is roughly 500.

Every single one of them is made of my aura.

My unique skills are aura, and its evolutionary skills, shape changes.

Aura strengthens her flesh as she wraps around my body.

In addition, the second skill is to consolidate that aura and change its shape.

Aura, when consolidated, has the magical properties of light attributes. But it's completely different from magic.

I can change its shape and manipulate it just by thinking.

In addition, my flesh will be strengthened when I wrap my hardened aura around it.

"Spiritual Arrow"

An arrow that had changed shape was fired at the demon with my decree.

I don't need a bow.

Just think. It strikes the prey like an arrow released by a bow.

The demons screamed and disappeared.

And only class S was left with an arrow.

The attack in Aura is powerful.

Even if that's a small one, it easily slashes and rips the target apart and pierces it.

But that Aura's arrow-grade S stood as if nothing had happened.

A giant demon with horns growing on his head.

I've heard of it. This is a king orga.

Sturdy flesh that won't scratch you if you get an Aura arrow. Definitely.

"This is going to break my bones pretty bad"

Ugaaaa!

I let go of my arrow again to King, who growled.

The hardened aura doesn't disappear so easily.

They won't disappear, unless they're overthrown or I make them disappear.

And when it vanishes, it explodes and vanishes.

Dobby, dobby, dobby, dobby.

A small explosion of light wrapped the king orga.

Nearly 500 arrows fly constantly to King Auga and explode.

Eventually, the explosion, which lasted a few 10 seconds, also subsided, and a king orga appeared lacerated throughout from the inside.

Its feet step firmly on the earth and make you feel that you still have room.

"Doesn't this work either... oh my god"

If this doesn't work, we have to give it another stage of attack power...

Then you won't be able to fight for long...

Shall we see how it goes first?

I gently twisted the fist that King Auga waved down to see what was going on.

Occasionally, he slashes and rips King Auga's skin with his sword, causing him to accumulate a little damage.

The Auga attack was hard-won for me.

The attack is monotonous, and slow.

This is probably me specializing in physical strengthening, so I guess so.

But extra sturdiness to make up for it.

This is very nasty.

The reinforcement system alone was not powerful enough.

I wish I could use some powerful magic, but I haven't mastered any magic beyond this ruggedness.

...... I don't have a clue.

I thought so.

King Auga's flesh is sturdy and hard to slash deep.

I can afford a sword, but I don't have enough physical strength.

... Then you can strengthen your flesh.

That's what I thought. I wrapped Aura around my body.

That should be enough.

And when he attacked, he sliced off his leg like a mistake.

Lost his leg, King Auga falls.

I saw it and moved in an instant near the fallen King Auga's neck.

Mobility skills, instantaneous motion.

Skills that travel a certain distance in an instant.

Beyond speed, when I move like an instant, I chop off King Auga's neck.

The fortified flesh and sword are irresistible, slashing the flesh and breaking the bones.

Shortly after he screamed, the King Aug, who had lost his neck, quietly disappeared.

The only stone left was the Demon Stone, and I was filled with accomplishments when I saw it.

Ray, it looks like I can still compete with you...

I shrugged so in my heart as I looked in the direction of the king's capital.

Dogowowo on.

The shock and roar of Wang Du's building was about to turn into a battlefield, ringing in the meadows spreading before Wang Du.

A hole in the army of demons.

It made the demons and people there stop moving.

And the two men who made the cause looked at it in a daze.

…………

".......................................... Too much"

'I guess... I... you were helping me with something like this.'

Pottori and the mastermind of the cause muttered, and the Spirit, who was an assistant to that mastermind, agreed to it.

We were supposed to fight now, Keroberos also blew across the horizon.

I think he's still alive, but I don't know if he's coming back.

No, he may not be alive...

He looks more brittle than that King Orga.

"... Sorry, Sister Shara, Mr. Gerk. Enemy... gone..."

"Yeah, I was watching..."

"Me too..."

"The two of us may have lost our jobs..."

I didn't expect it to be that powerful...

Water dragon, scared...

You lightly disappeared a thousand, now.

Probably wouldn't be alive if you were below S grade...

Well, it's a good idea to reduce the number of enemies.

Even if the ground is clear, you can make your way to the mountains, and the slopes of the mountains you can see from here are blowing up...

... apologize to the King later. And let's get out of here. Leave it to Gilk...

"... Flamewind Sword"

I created my usual sword and shook it into an immobile demon.

Boon!

The released red blade involved more than a dozen demons and exploded.

The demon didn't move. It was Bo. So I shot him.

'Cause it's full of gaps.

We're all not moving.

I forgot to magically shoot the rear guard, too.

"... Wow, blood is scary"

"Terrible boy."

People who gradually begin to return to reality.

I think I noticed the explosion.

"Ko, the rear guard! Magic Fire! '

A loud and hasty voice prompted the guard.

Hearing the voice, the guard unleashed the magic. Various magic intrudes and wipes out the demons.

Seeing that, I tried to step into the battlefield where I had moved.

But the two adults strap their wings together.

"No, you can't! Ray! If you leave, you will die regardless of your enemy allies!

"That's right! Boy! No more! There's a dead man out there!

Two people stopping me with desperate shapes.

Isn't it awful...?

Don't you trust me...?

Even I don't use magic like that in situations where people and demons are messed up...

"It's okay. That's what I know."

I said that with a smile.

Then they sweated cold and tied me up.

"... what?

"Ray, you wait in the back."

"Boy, you're in danger"

The way Gerk said it seemed to be treating me like a bomb.

And when Sister Shara took charge of me tied up, she began to carry me to the rear guard.

"Hey, wait a minute, both of you! I wouldn't use that kind of magic in a situation like this!

"No, you can't. Your smile was just like your father's. It's dangerous."

"That's right. Funny kid in that situation is dangerous."

"Yep. ⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉\82

I was just trying to reassure you two...

Why are you making me feel like I'm in danger?

What the hell is my smile...

"Ray, Ray, it's okay...?

"... your body.... no spirit..."

Behind the battlefield, where the whole thing could be seen, I was bracketed.

Worried about it, Charstena came all the way here to see it. But you can't help me.

"Uh, yeah! Ray's magic was amazing! I didn't think you were that awesome when I saw you before!

"... that's what's happening to me..."

Charstena's trying to inspire me with a healthy voice, but my heart won't heal.

To the lady who was adoring me, she was treated like a hazard and tied up near the top of the tree even more like this.

I'm deeply hurt.

That doesn't matter as much as the battle in front of you anymore.

I just laughed...

I repeated this word in my heart over and over again.

"That... wow, I thought I was cool though. Ray's Magic That Blow Up So Much Demons Alone"

"... I can't. Even if the magic is cool, I can't... my smile makes people feel like they're in danger..."

I can't get back on my feet.

It's not funny.

Afraid to laugh...

"Oh, that's not true! Look, smile? Ray?"

"I don't like it... I don't want Charstena to treat me like I'm dangerous..."

Trying so hard to keep me healthy, Charstena.

Such a Charstena voice won't reach me either.

I want you to leave me alone for a while.

I want you to think about what a smile is for a while.

"Wow, I won't, will I? I can't believe you treated Ray like he was dangerous... you see? Smile, huh?

"Stop... I don't want to laugh anymore... I won't laugh again..."

I'm the one who gets beat up and only says sorry things.

Charstena trying hard to make me laugh like that.

Me and her offense lasted two hours.

Two hours later, worried about Charstena not returning at all, Gilk came.

Gilk guessed everything when he saw me getting stuck in a tree, dripping my head and sinking more and more, and Charstena, who was about to laugh at it from earlier on, freaking out or caricaturing alone.

"Dumb-ass, what are you doing at a time like this...?

"What? Gilk? Oh, uh..."

"The explanation is good. That asshole did something, tied him up, encouraged him to get depressed or something, right? What the hell are you doing..."

Gilk sighed and said so in a frightened voice.

"Hey asshole, what have you done...?

"Laughed."

"Hmm?"

"I just laughed..."

Gilk came back to say I laughed.

Looks like I thought I heard wrong. And then I told him why I got beat up again.

"... So, that's what happened...?

"Oh... Gilk, is my smile that dangerous? I just laughed, enough to be tied up..."

"Know what? You laughed disgustingly anyway."

Unlike Charstena, Gilk didn't try to encourage him. I have rather demeaned it.

"Disgusting smile..."

"No, you can't, Gilk! Ray's weak right now. ⁉ It's okay, Ray. Because you're not disgusting."

"I'm sick..."

"Chi, no! Ray's not disgusting! Yeah, that's a nice smile!

Charstena blamed Gilk, desperately covering him and mentioning that he wasn't sure.

What's a nice smile?

What kind of smile is that?

"Hey asshole, oh..."

"Yes, I'm an asshole... and I'm sick..."

"...... I can't. Charstena, let's do this later. I can't do this."

Gilk tried to say something, called me, but when he heard my return, he seemed to decide he couldn't.

And urged Charstena to return later.

"So, but Ray..."

"In the meantime, if we don't finish this fight first, there's nothing we can do about it, this is..."

Sharstena was worried about me, reluctant, but when Gilk said I would be released once the fight was over, she was back with her hair pulled like that.

And I went around thinking on my own.

You must be smiling...

"It's late! Charles!"

"Sorry Anna, and neither Gold nor Huck"

"Fine."

"Pii."

Anna complained to me when she finally came back.

Looks like demons are looming, even the rear guard.

Even though Ray has greatly reduced the number of enemies, he still has too many.

Looking forward, those who are fighting in the avant-garde are also likely to be near the limit.

Some have already fallen.

Some may have been eaten.

The situation is not good.

Gilk is right. This isn't about encouraging Ray.

I'm sorry, Ray.

"Gilk, what's the formation now?

"Me and Anna are in the back, the others are in the front."

"Yes, then Anna and Gold are avant-garde, because I'll do the rear guard. Huck and Gilk are in the middle, supporting Anna and Gold. I'll attack you with magic."

I explained the formation early and changed it.

I am confident there in the arms of the sword, but I can do much more magic. So you'd better cast your attack magic in the rear guard.

Conversely, Anna and Gold are facing the avant-garde.

Anna moves fast and dodges very well.

In contrast, Gold is in a gusty position, geared towards shielding himself from attack.

Gilk can do both, so have Anna and Gold cover.

Haku has many attacks from medium range due to braces and nail deformation.

So let these two fight in the middle.

"I'm here."

The demon came where the formation was changed.

It's a Class A demon.

Certainly his name is Oak General.

He had a more gusty body than a regular oak and had a metal axe in his hand.

Probably something you took from someone.

There was blood on the axe.

Which means at least two people are being hit by this demon.

Gold danced out in front of Oak General.

Play the axe with a shield and slash it with a great sword in your hand.

Gold wields the sword with one hand, the bearer of rigidity.

Swing freely just like a one-handed sword.

Then, take or play the opponent's attack with a shield in your left hand to create a gap.

Anna is the one who's good at poking that gap.

In a light motion, she swings like a slightly shorter single-handed sword in both hands.

Basically, it's a hit-and-away method of warfare, and we don't meet.

When you see a gap, attack and leave.

The pursuit at that departure is stopped by Gilk. Interrupt in between and play it with a sword or cover it with magic.

Gilk is good for support.

Magic is also many instantly activated, can react and cover instantly, and is good at protecting itself with a sword.

Plus he has the skill of swordcasting.

Haku isn't sure what he's good at.

Attack or accept with such force as where in that little body is such power.

Plus the braces are still weak, but powerful enough to damage demons.

And the mystery is nails.

It stretches, it bends, it moves like a whip.

"Water and ice memories, ice cubes and stuff to envelop enemies, Ice Pilak"

And I activate magic.

I perform chants of any magic. Chanting is meant not to consume magic in vain, but also to raise the bottom of power.

So make a chant for all the magic.

At the end of my chant, they all took a distance from Oak General.

My magic makes water in that open space and freezes it.

Then it becomes ice cubes and flies from 360 ° all directions to Oak General.

The bumped crushed ice solidifies as if it envelops the body of Oak General.

It was like one object.

Where you can't move, activate more magic.

"Fire and wind memories, burn down enemies with rough fires or something, filalt"

The wind blew around Oak General.

That wind creates fire in the air that was nothing and envelops Oak General like a tornado.

The sudden rise in temperature broke the ice, and the oak generals that were inside also cracked the skin, which was swallowed up and extinguished by the fireworks.

Next time, I'm here.

Soon after you rest, your next enemy will come.

It was constant, sometimes to fight multiple.

The salvation is that there is no S grade?

It came when we began to feel tired of a never-ending battle.

Reinforcements.

"1st Knights, 2nd Knights, I have received a request for rescue! Stand down, wounded! We'll take it later!

The knights simultaneously ran out to the demons, pushing them back to the avant-garde, which had even come to the rear guard.

Then, drop your hips on the spot and take a temporary break to expose your tiredness or make allowance.

We were getting tired too, so we decided to take a break.

Encouraging Ray because of it...
