Hyaku Ma No Aruji

Salman wins.

The trend was already decided at a time when we tried to prevent a blow by a demon bow from close range.

Yes, Elma thought.

"Stay down."

It was at the same time that chills ran on my spine and I heard the words of the warning of [earthly god] Clear-Lilith from behind.

"None."

Ambushed with forceful force from behind.

Trying to look back and raise your voice in protest.

"Oh, Salman."

Before that I noticed a reversal of the situation between Salman and the Bow Emperor, who seemed far away.

Salman's arm, which was about to shake his fist, is severed.

"… so you are on your side"

Then again, Clear opens his mouth.

When I glanced behind me, there stood one man with feathers that seemed to rub off even now.

"-" The Sword Demon "Sin-M"

When he heard the name, Erma's skin stood poppy.

◆ ◆ ◆

"What the fuck..."

I can't figure out what happened.

The hand that was about to roll out his fist toward the [Bow Emperor] Helga-Hays Road is severed around his wrist.

- Calm down.

Helga in front of me also looks surprised with her eyes open.

It's not her fault.

"Zestis!"

Disconnected hands are either because they were slashed too nicely or they are trying to fall straight to the ground without blowing up.

Salman picked it up with the opposite hand before it fell to his feet and pressed the cut surface immediately against his severed wrist.

"What... but..."

Helga is confused.

Looking sideways at the appearance, Salman felt Zestis neatly reconnect his chopped hands.

"Finally, I can't talk about Melea anymore."

Spill irony with your mouth as you thank Zestis in your heart.

A few seconds later, this time another person appeared near Salman.

"Well, it's hard to see how Merea's people have a lot of bullshit power too"

White thunder that can play.

White skin.

I turned around. There, one day I will see "Heroes in Books", which I saw only for a moment in the art city of Virgilia.

"... (Thundergod) Celester-Barca"

Confusion came to this battlefield in earnest.

Salman thought so, and at the same time, we still couldn't really decide whether that confusion would fulfill and make us look good.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Well, did the situation swallow?

"That's not funny. That's a joke. Hey..."

"Half the time is a joke, but at least it's better for you to see if you're hostile or not."

Celester-Barca's ghost says it in his true face.

Salman is full because he manages to smile bitterly.

"Well, what is it? I didn't think Sin-M would come out."

The name also sounds familiar.

Unlike Celester, the name of a hero that isn't in the book.

I didn't even make a feat of it in the big fight.

Nor have we accomplished any feat that would change the way the world works.

Just an uninhabited seeker who reached the top of The Sword's Way.

"Solve that first. You've fought long enough. If we keep it in the present world any longer, it will be Leilas' two dances."

The light wheels deployed on Salman's back are slightly distorted.

I can see Zestis neutralizing the 'God's Modification Ceremony' just as he did when he fought Selene, but gradually that confrontational ceremony seemed to be running out of time.

"You can't have enemies in front of you..."

"Hmm."

Then I turn my attention to Helga, the [Bow Emperor], where Celester has his butt a few steps away.

"You should rest now too, modern bow emperor."

Celester rings his finger.

A thunderbolt burst from my fingertips, and I could play it with Bacilli, and Helga's neck.

"Ah."

"The next time you wake up, let's hope you're feeling a little lighter."

Helga's consciousness is pruned in an instant.

Celester said as he looked over again as Salman was being taken lightly.

"I just stunned him. I'm a ghost. I will not take the life of a man who lives in the present."

"Ha, I don't know what to believe anymore, this way"

Simultaneously with Helga's Stun, Salman finally stops the manifestation of Zestis.

Salman knelt down so that the light wheel on his back disappeared all the time and left himself to the fatigue that had suddenly struck him.

"Celester-Barca. Are you on our side?

"I'm not an ally or an enemy. But at least they are the enemies of the comrades manipulated by Reaper. Well, that could make me an enemy myself."

Salman heard the words and resented Necroa again.

We don't want this "thunderous god" to be the enemy, but the "lack of judgment" that we can be allies and enemies also strengthens the tension that we have no more.

"Well, what is it? I don't have any instructions from Flander."

Then, this time, the light rose up in the sky in the distance.

It's like the exotic 'fireworks' light that Shaw once picked up and Marisa snugly launched.

Seeing the colorful light scattered in the night sky, Fuji Celester nods.

"Maybe you're still the toughest person to raise, Flander"

I didn't know everything about its sincerity, but somehow Salman remembered these words that Merea once said.

"It was Flander who had the toughest training."

◆ ◆ ◆

Elma, with the name "Sword Emperor", knows about that "Demon King" with the same lineage issue.

In the few notes left by Ease-Eluisa, the first sword emperor, the man was said to be closest to the top of the sword path.

- Ease was originally a swordsman.

It has to do with the man known as the Sword Demon that she created the Devil's Sword Crishura and until she was called the Sword Emperor.

She gave up being the strongest swordsman when she met Sin-M.

"Sin-M., do you have any idea what the situation is now?

The only "earthly god" Clear asks, blocking the Elmas, who were unable to move one by one in the sudden appearance of a sword demon, and who remained calm.

……

A man called Sin-M doesn't answer.

There is a strange look on Clear's face.

"Well, somehow"

Put down a beat and the voice of the man who came back was terribly quiet.

"You're the one who slashed off the hands of the descendants of the [Fist Emperor] over there. Wave the same bullshit sword."

"That I just slashed it because I saw it. And when I had to slaughter him, my body moved on its own."

I slashed it because I saw it.

How far do you think we are from here to Salman's place?

"Exactly the expression skipping slaughter fits, but we magicians have to hold our heads as usual that it is not due to a conscious surgical ritual"

"Slash what you wanted to slash. I guess that's all."

The Elmas no longer understand the contents of the conversation.

"Sin-M, honestly, I don't want to fight you."

Fumi Elma noticed that Clear was knitting a surgical ceremony in her hand. - It's a state of war.

The vigilance in Elma reached its pinnacle when she saw that she had not shown a clear combat posture until now, when she came here to perform a fully fledged surgical formation.

"... the woman there"

and spoke to Elma as Sin-M noticed something about such a clearance.

At the end of his gaze, Krishla, the Devil's Sword, hangs on Elma's hips.

"Is that the sword of Ease-Eluisa"

"Oh, you know my ancestors"

"Ancestors?... Right, did that woman have a child? No matter, even if you remember. I remember exactly the woman who had challenged me every time I saw her until she fell down on some battlefield"

With that word, Elma is convinced that Ease-Eluisa's notes were correct.

"It wasn't a bad arm.... notwithstanding, it was not good."

Almost beyond the limits of being a man, from the "Swordsman" who reigned at the top (please) as a swordsman, I guess so.

While he understood the matter with his head, Elma nevertheless felt something hot stirring at the bottom of her belly.

"... I wonder about you"

and capture the slight effort that Sin-M put into his right hand, which has a sword.

At the same time, Clear-Lilith activated the technique at a speed that was inconspicuous to his eyes.

"You'll tell me, Sin-M."

As soon as the two attackers tried to start, someone who had rammed in from the side at high speed slapped Sin-M hard with a beautiful sword in his hand that he tried to put up.

Hood only in a flash of defense.

What emerged from inside was long, glossy black hair.

Those eyes have the same dark purple color as Elma.

"I rarely get a chance like this, so I might try you again"

The swordsman who suddenly appeared between Elmas and Sin-M.

"-Eas-Eluisa"

He was Elma's ancestor, Ease-Eluisa, the first (sword emperor) to produce the demon sword.
