I'll have dinner and then log in. I headed alone to the place where Hawkman's village chief taught me. You'll be pissed off by Aeon later, but if you take the subpoena to the discussion, it'll be a fight. Naturally no weapons.

Then Raven finds me quickly.

"You were yesterday!

Get the hook claw out of your hand, it's coming at you. I flatter it.

"I have no intention of fighting. As you can see, it's raw. You're not hawkmen enough to attack unarmed humans, are you? Didn't I?"

Me and Raven had a fling and a third party voice.

"... back off"

"But Mr. Ops!

"I'll talk to this man."

Raven who was commanding yesterday's troops? I'm glad you came. Coming down to me.

"What can I do for you?

"Shall I introduce myself first? I'm a freelancer, guild master of the guild Reaping, summoner tact."

"... well. So, what can I do for you, a free-tier guild master?

Aren't you going to name it? But you already know his name.

"Freetiers are extremely likely to be at war with Gones. I'm looking for someone to help me. I saw the fight yesterday, and I came to ask for help."

"Don't put it down. Go home."

You can't go home when you tell me to, can you?

"Hawkman is working with the freelancers. If Gones is going to attack the freelancers, this place will be targeted. You think you're the only ones who can protect the village?

"There is no basis for this village to be targeted, nor are we afraid of the Knights of Gones."

I see. Do you think the enemy is only the Knight of Gones? But that's a mistake.

"You don't seem to know, but Gones is hostile to Vineleaf and the freelancers. You think Gones, who dropped Vineleaf, isn't going after this place?

"If only the knights of Gones would be able to defend themselves. Looks like we've been defending ourselves. But there's a good chance there's more than one Demon King behind Gones. Naturally the demons will attack here. And you still say you're okay?

"... ah."

There was a time… I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I still couldn't pull it off. Then I'll suggest a masculine solution here.

"Well... then duel with me"

"... what?

"I really don't think you can defend this village against the Knights of Gones and the Demon King's Army. If you can beat me in a duel, I'll admit that your words are right and promise not to talk about it any more. What do you say?"

Ops looks at me. If it's like turning down a duel here, which way is it out of battle? But I'm pretty sure this guy's gonna get on with my story. Because there's no settlement between me and Ops.

"... Fine. If you can beat me, I'll think about your story. Any complaints?

Info comes.

"A special event 'Duel with Ops' has occurred '

Special Event 'Duel with Ops': Difficulty B

Reward: Raven's World Event Attendance

Fight and win Raven's leader, the Ops.

"No, I don't. It's a duel I sold. Pick a place you like."

"Hmm. There's a dueling ground for Hawkman. Let's settle there."

I had a duelling ground over the head of a Garuda statue in Hawkman's village. Features wind. It's a natural dueling ground with nothing to block, so it's affected by the wind. Hawkman or Raven would be a good dueling ground.

Many ravens showed up for the tour. If the leader fights, I guess he deserves it.

My weapon chose Scarlet Ring.

"Is the sword all you need?

"Ah. That's better. Disgruntled?"

"No, I don't. You're the judge. I won't tolerate injustice."

"Absolutely."

Opus puts out the hook claws and sets them up. I set up a scarlet ring, too.

"Well, shall we?"

"Ah."

Duel

Opponents: Tact, Ops

Win or Lose: Total HP Loss

Judge: Raven

"Match, start!

Ops disappears at the same time as the game begins. I stay put, I don't move. I'm roughly grasping this guy's tactics in the last fight. Still, I wouldn't win if I didn't sharpen my nerves pretty good.

Then the ops come. I stop the right hook nail and play, but there was a thunder bomb on Ops' left hand.

"Thunderballs!

I shrink, and even more of the slashed ops disappear into illusion, and the hook claw approaches me but guards me. I try to kick it but it stops me and I almost get my foot grabbed so I kick the ops with the opposite foot.

It was dangerous... that one was hysterical now. Again, this guy is strong. Then he disappears again. I set up a scarlet ring.

Then I feel strange about the wind, and I move aggressively into shrinkage. A black feather stabs me where I was. A feather thrower... and it doesn't look like a regular feather. There is purple smoke coming out of the wings. It must be poison.

And one after the other from the night sky, they fly in. Don't lick it!

"Lampard!"

Guard with huge dirt walls.

"Huh!?

At that moment, Ops raids me with a hook and nail from behind me. It's going to be a lot. Have you manipulated feather throwing with throwing maneuvers to carry out an ambush? It was dangerous... totally coincidental but helpful.

I guard my hook nails with a scarlet ring, rotate my body, and unbalance the ops. And release the torso.

But Ops wings and attacks me. Shit... I thought it was decided, but it would be useful to have feathers.

Ops against also recognized the abnormality of tact.

"(You perceived our wind and thought you were responding to my attack, but you weren't? This is the first time he's been prevented from wind throwing and manipulating until an ambush)"

Opus creates lightning bullets around him when he wings. Those are the same skills as Lily and the others!?

"Thunderstorm!"

"Lampard!"

"It's no use!

Thunderstorms fly in to avoid Lampard. Magic manipulation!? Damn it!

"Acceleration!"

"Ku... teleport!

The acceleration cleaved with a scarlet ring but it was too numerous, so it was done by teleport.

Come on, I don't know what to do.

"Thunderwave!

"Huh!? Dimension Fold!"

I bounce back the thunder waves, but the ops disappear into the darkness. If this happens, I'll be forced to slap you to the ground!

"" "" Downburst!

An intense downward airflow occurs but the ops are not falling. Then I felt the laugh of the audience. I have a terrible feeling! The wind gathers unnaturally. Shit! Big move!

But this... okay!

"Free the treasure balls!

Scarlet ring becomes true.

"Meranzepuros!"

A black tornado is coming at me. But now we know where Ops is!

"Teleport!

"Huh!?

Opus guarded my ambush.

"That was a shame."

"Not really."

"(Rune of Power!)"

My muscle strength is temporarily increased.

"Whoa!

"What!?

I slapped Ops to the ground.

"" "" Giltisone!

Thorn Tsu restrains Opus. Now there's no escape!

"" "" Flame Circle!

When a red Demon Square occurs on all sides of the Ops, it burns the Ops. Still, Ops was alive.

"What... not yet!

"Teleport!

I pierced the ops.

"That's it! Winner tact! Leader!

"Don't come! Ha... ha... I'll be fine. You know I'm not going to die in a duel, right?

I'll restore the ops.

"... I didn't expect you to recover with the sword that knocked me down."

"It's a waste of time. So what's my story?"

"Answer my question before I do. Why did you come to stab me in the flames?

"Because I thought you wouldn't die to that extent. If you're the leader, you can't go down... then it's no wonder you have a life-saving item."

The bracelet made of string that was attached to Opus' wrist was missing. Looks like that was the resuscitation item.

"I see... did you respond to my attack because of the signs and their predictions"

"Correct. If it was an attack outside my back when I lost the wind and ambushed him, I would have lost."

"Don't say it often to the habit of deciding there is no other attack"

At that moment, the wind flow was unnaturally altered by the creation of Lampard. Thanks to that, Ops' perfect ambush collapsed. I was unable to cope with the unlikely wind flow and was able to feel the wind slightly.

And I wouldn't risk approaching the wall with the wind flowing weird. If there's a gust of wind, we'll hit Lampard.

Then the back of blocking the wind in Lampard would have been best suited for an ambush. It was a duel entirely sided by luck.

Okay, here's the real deal.

"I lost the duel. No one else would disagree with giving you a hand. subject to conditions."

"What?

He said, "You know the village chief to some extent? First of all, we cannot leave this village. So let us limit ourselves to the area around Hawk Valley."

"Fine. Is there anything else?

Opus sees the village of Hawkman.

"You guarantee the safety of this village. That's the deal."

You care about Hawkman's village everywhere... the village chief also said it's really similar to mine. While I know the darkness, I want to protect it. Then I'll answer the man's readiness.

"Okay. The safety of Hawkman's village is guaranteed by me and my guild."

"That's an agreement. Precisely."

Then the info came.

Info comes.

"You have completed the special event Duel with the Ops"

"Darkbird Race Raven added to World Event"

After that, I'll have an ops meeting. That's where they pointed out the problem.

"To get from Hawk Valley to Annapurna, you have to defeat an ancient giant soldier sleeping in Hawk Valley, right?

Oh... I can't seem to use all of Hawk Valley because I have a boss. That means we have to attack… let's go now.

For this reason Annapurna looked into it later, but it was the name of the mountain with the highest mortality rate.
