My armor is getting smaller and smaller.

Until then, it was intended to increase the pressure on the surroundings, and it was intended to increase the armor of blood.

However, I changed it to a size a little bigger than the adult male who often uses it.

The goal was to use Watch and Practice to the fullest in the fight against Arondal.

A master of swords.

Even though I tried to steal the opponent's sword skill while fighting using Watch and Practice , I thought I couldn't see proper use of my body because of the difference in stature.

But there's no point in senselessly using our power.

You can't let that happen to me.

The main premise was to watch the opponent's movement and seize the victory.

Therefore, although the size of the armor has been reduced, the amount of blood used as armor has not decreased.

Compress internally to utilize more muscle replacement.

I kept observing Arundal's body while I was getting ready like that.

While holding a sword in front of his body, he stood in a natural state.

Even though our appearance was changing, there was no appearance of tension, and I continued to maintain a position where I could move at any time.

However, I didn't think that I was going to compete with just the amount of magic power.

He said that he could be counted among the Ten Swordsmen in the land of Elys, but he must have made unremitting efforts to get there.

The flow of magic energy wrapped around her body changed, and the magic energy flowed into the sword in her hand.

"Ha!!"

Until a moment ago, it was a natural body that stood relaxed and wielded a sword while closing the distance at once to enter my pocket.

The movement was fast and futile.

And the flow of magic power continues to change as the body moves.

It's like my current.

I teach magic to soldiers and mercenaries in the Orient and New Barca, but no one has been able to use their magic so well.

Even though I was able to increase my magic power, it would be that hard to handle it.

I could see Arondal's skill level just by thinking about it.

The sword, whose sharpness was enhanced by such skillful magic manipulation, clashed with my demon sword.

Kim!

That sound scratched the demon sword.

That's amazing.

This demon sword had never been scratched before.

I never thought I'd get hit by someone who fights in this place.

"Awesome. It's sharp."

"... let's think of it as a compliment." In fact, it was the way to slash that sword and fly it now.

"It was a shame." Then we should strike harder. "

A wound in the demon sword.

It has already been repaired.

After all, the demon sword Norn was completely different from ordinary swords.

It's made of my blood, and it can change its shape.

Well, it doesn't matter if it scratches or if it slashes.

Such things can be fixed immediately.

However, it was still a problem that could not be ignored.

After all, I thought the opponent's sword was a commodity, but it wasn't like a magic sword.

Probably made of common metals such as iron.

Besides, I don't think my demon sword can be beaten.

If so, it was probably due to Arondal's magic power.

It was sorcery.

Gilbert, the commander-in-chief of Peria's army, was also using magic, but the man in front of him was probably also using magic.

I don't think it's magic because I haven't crushed anything.

Uniquely manipulates the magic power of self.

In this case, it might be an improvement in the sharpness of the sword.

After that, Arondal waved his blade and I blocked it with my magic sword.

While repeating the attack and defense, I observed the movement in more detail.

Let's call Arondal's magic sharpener [Sharp Blade] for now.

The [Sharp Blade] wasn't just pouring magic power into the sword.

I can do that, too.

But empirically, that doesn't improve my sharpness.

No, it's not impossible.

However, I think it's normal for the entire performance of a weapon to be boosted by the magic power it sends to the weapon.

At least as long as I've been dealing with magic.

Does it feel like your whole physical abilities will improve if you apply magic power to your body?

But Arondal feels a little different.

I only give it its sharpness.

After that, I still took the attack with the sword, prevented it, and poured it out, so I could clearly see it.

I see. The moment it hits you, it's just shedding magic on the part of the sword that touches it.

"...... I see." No way, just a couple of meetings, you know that. But I can't imitate you when I know that. "

"Why? Shouldn't we do the same thing?"

"I can't. I think I've been in training for how long before I get to this skill." It's impossible to imitate just by looking at it. "

The unusual sharpness of Arondal's sword.

It was all due to his skill.

I was simply good at using swords.

When it came to straight swords, there was a lot of action like slashing and slashing, but there was a lot of movement to pull and cut the sword.

Moreover, in addition, in the motion of mastering the sword, I only poured a lot of magic power into the blade at the moment of cutting.

I focused my magic power on cutting the blade, not the whole weapon.

Moreover, it was only at the moment of cutting.

To put it another way, even when I pulled my sword to cut it, it changed the strength of my magic power.

Maybe that leads to improved sharpness.

Then just imitate it.

No, let's go a step ahead of him rather than just imitate him.

If I could improve my sharpness like that with a metal sword, I could do it with a demon sword.

Of course, if you manipulate the magic power and the blood movement, you will become even more sharp.

Now I'm on the attack.

Until then, it only prevented Arondal from attacking, but he stepped forward and swung down his magic sword.

And the moment I swung it down, the magic power and blood flowed.

Performs even finer magic manipulations than Arondal.

The moment the demon sword body touched the opposing sword, it vibrated at a very high speed.

A fine vibration that would seem unknown to you, both magic and blood.

It succeeded in raising the sharpness of the demon sword to unprecedented levels.

Arondal's sword, armor, and body were divided without resistance.

It was a sharpness I had never felt before.

Perhaps because it was too sharp, the blood did not bleed for a while from the cross-section of Arondal that was split in two.

I'm sure you didn't even recognize that you were slaughtered.

All right, here.

I had a one-on-one battle with Arondal to learn how to use the sword, but I got an unexpected harvest.

So I got a new technique to improve the sharpness of my magic sword.
