"Ra"
"... Kyle's Wooden Spirit. Good work. By the way, didn't you try to take down the Linzats as a whole?
"Ra"
"Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about. Well, that's fine. Could you take me to Kyle? The boundaries of the plants you created are completely disoriented, so you don't know where to go."
"Ra"
As I held my breath in the quiet forest, a woodsperm appeared in front of me.
It's Kyle's contracted plant spirit.
Originally it was a spiritual spirit like a green glowing ball, but at some point it grew big and changed its appearance into a human form.
Kyle and the others seem to be able to communicate perfectly with this humanoid spirit, but unfortunately I can't.
However, do you understand what I'm saying? When I asked Kyle to take me there, I replied to Ra and started moving.
Perhaps he's guiding us.
So, after the woodsperm, it moves through the plant boundaries.
But Kyle wasn't the one we met after that.
"... hmm? What, you didn't show me to Kyle? Is this him? A line of Rheinzats elite."
Walking in the lush woods with the woodgoblins, I stopped again in the woods.
Kyle wasn't there.
But there was someone else.
These are the elite who were attacking Kyle's main unit.
The plants in the woods were restrained so that their hands and feet could not move.
Branches, roots, and pigeons are wrapped around the body, and the body is fixed as if it were a stick.
Maybe they fought the plants too hard.
There were several cuts and broken branches of trees in the surroundings, and we could see the aftermath of the fierce battle.
"Are you Kyle Reed?
"Hmm? Who is it?
Looking at the elite forces bound by a number of trees, someone came to me from behind some tree.
Who the hell is that?
Looking at you with an iron sword, there was Schneider, the master of the Rheinzats family.
Old generals who have been at the top of the hegemonic aristocracy and have fought on several battlefields.
However, even though I am old, my body is tight and I hardly have the impression of an old man.
Such a person appeared before me.
"Isn't that Kyle Reed? Yes, I told the Spirit Hall that I wanted to fight Kyle Reed for the last time....."
"Unfortunately, I'm not Kyle, Schneider de Reinzatz. My name is Als Barca."
"Wow, you're the rumor... I see, that's a tragedy. I want you to fight me."
"Hold on a second. Can I ask you just one question? Could Lord Schneider speak to the Spirit?
"No, it's just a wish. In the last wish of the dying old man, he wants to fight with his sword as a samurai."
What the hell is that?
Do you think Kyle's Spirit heard that?
Perhaps, Schneider couldn't beat this woodsman.
That's why all the elite, except him, are in captivity.
And Schneider, who understood the defeat, hoped to fight with his sword as mercy.
It seems that the Spirit is trying to call me in and make me fight, not Kyle.
"Hmm. Well, that's fine. Would you like me to take Kyle's place?
"Thank you. I'll... come."
I have no idea what the woodspirits think.
But anyway, I jumped in to help Kyle.
In the sense that Kyle will be our opponent before he fights Schneider, this is exactly what it was intended to be.
That's why I agreed to fight Schneider.
Schneider holds the sword.
At that moment, I poured magic into the Enchanted Bracelet .
Even though I was a rider, I had no intention of using the magic of the House of Rhinesatz honestly.
In response to that magic, the surrounding area can't use spells.
But Schneider didn't want to use spells from the beginning.
He was also devoting magic to what he had.
It was Schneider's magical sword.
I've seen that before.
What Schneider had was the wind sword I had now.
It's not good.
When I realized the existence of the opponent's magical sword, I reacted immediately.
In the form of defense, not attack.
Instead of avoiding it, he chose to gather all magic on his skin surface and wield it all against his defenses.
"Goo, it hurts."
"I still can't reach it. Even if you stop and attack, it's different."
The next moment I raised my body's defenses, my body was cut.
It was under attack by Schneider's sword of wind.
Never looked away from the other person.
But I couldn't see the attack at all.
It's as if we've been attacked in an unrecognized way.
It's not [moments].
The Reinzatsu family's caste-class magic Tempo is magic that can stop time and attack the opponent.
But I can't use it now.
Because Enchanted Bracelet does work and seals the magic.
Still, Schneider stopped time and attacked.
It is definitely the effect of the sword of the wind.
The Wind Sword is a magical sword passed on to the Rubitch family, which greatly improves user agility.
But maybe it's just one end of the sword's power.
It may be the same as the Kuo Sword.
The nine-tailed sword that gave out the flame sword, however, produced a [black sword] when the Urk family pesh was used.
In the same way, if you pull out your abilities properly, the wind sword may also be able to demonstrate higher abilities rather than improve agility.
Just like [momentary], it has the effect of stopping time.
"I'm sorry, Lord Schneider. I was surprised by the effect of the sword of the wind."
"Ah, apparently you also have this wind sword. Probably belonged to the Rubić family. However, this is a magical sword that was originally made in the Lindsatz family. It was the sword that was given to me by the Lord of the House of Rheinzats at the time at the Temple of the Sword, where I had an affair."
"I see. That's what happened."
"Oh, but I'm sorry. Even though I had this sword of wind ready as my last cut. I had no idea that the power of the sword would have fallen so far before the sword reached the opponent. The Rhinesatz family is over."
Only one dagger.
Schneider slashed us, and I was under attack.
It would have been Schneider's side that would have prevailed.
But that didn't happen.
I said it hurt, but I didn't do much damage.
It was completely incomprehensible to Schneider's attack against my magical defenses.
Because the Lord of the Rhinesatz family's Schneider's magic was drastically diminishing.
Now, the magic overflowing his body is scarcely diminishing compared to before this battle in the Rheinzats Plains began.
I can't say I'm the lord of a very hegemonic aristocracy, but I'm only as old as those principals.
I'm sure there are already trends outside the boundaries of this plant.
Surrounded by the dome of Fantasy Hua, Schneider should also understand what happened to the Rhine Zats army, which was burned by the entire Fantasy Hua.
My magic dropped dramatically because many of my subordinates were lost.
Well, otherwise, I might not have gotten a ride either.
If we were dealing with a full Schneider, there is a good chance that we would have lost the current attack.
However, it was because I knew beforehand that this would not happen that I took this fight.
Grasp the sword in your hand again.
We were talking to each other, but in the meantime we were not relaxed at all.
Then we move on to the attack.
The magic gathered on the skin surface of the body was redistributed in an instant, and this time we also increased the speed.
It wasn't fast enough to stop time, but along with the agility effect of the wind sword, the muscle increased its strength and hit Schneider while moving at a high speed.
Apparently Schneider doesn't have enough magic to stop time again.
I tried to prevent my attack, but you gave up your defense on the way, so I lowered my arms and got attacked by an iron sword.
The sharp sharp iron sword engraves a fatal wound on Schneider's body without any resistance.
And Schneider falls to the ground like he's lying on his back.
Thus, the battle against the House of Rhinesatz was brought to a close in a gloomy forest that no one had ever seen.
