In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 22 Knight without neck, and ruins.

"Hachi, he's gone that way!

"Understood!"

He shields the walls from collapse and disappears from my sight.

Metal sound sounding over the wall. When I walked around the walls, he cut into eight pieces.

A disastrous sword in pitch-black knight armor. The giant body is seeping out its power. The legs that supported it did not capture and release the earth, nor did they find shards of mercy in the arms that waved the Great Sword.

No, the sentiment of mercy or something, maybe it's not already there. Because the dark knight has no neck.

Durahan. A demon that a knight who died carelessly on the headstand wanders in search of a neck that suits him and continues to hunt people's necks. It's different from the world you were in, but that's who you're crusading against this time.

Confront Durahan in the form of an octave and a pinch. She quickly left the scene when she sent a signal with her eyes eight times, confirming that the magic of light would gather on my index finger and middle finger.

"Light, put on, shining holy spear, shining javelin"

From the fingertips pointed at Durahan, a spear that emits a dazzling light flies straight. The spear surely pierced his left shoulder and his black arm flew a thousand slices.

But there's nothing like blood splashing out of that wound like a human. Instead of blood, he drifted his black temper out of his wound, swinging the sword down this way that rested on his remaining right arm.

A shadow jumped in from the side at that time, fisting the flank of a knight without a neck. As it was, the shadow burst a sharp spinning kick at his disoriented opponent.

"Else! If you're a one-horned wolf, ⁉"

"I managed to clean it up! There were almost 20 of them, already!

Linze also runs from afar. All right, here's the real deal.

An unexpected attack by Else, Durahan flashed for a moment, but immediately struck the sword beside the opponent's neck. Else crouched down and rolled straight forward towards me.

"Fire, come, purgatory fireballs, fireballs"

Linze's unleashed fireball hits Durahan's back. Poking through that gap, the octave sword flashes brilliantly, but is held back by a sword-shaven great sword.

"Shut up! If it's a long war, it's the first thing we do."

Unlike the other side, this one is probably about to die instantly, good and lose one arm, once you eat that great sword properly.

Durahan has already lost his life, the one who can die, the so-called undead. All in all, the undead are extremely vulnerable to the magic of light attributes. The light attribute can also be used by Linze, but she wasn't that good at it. I'll have to do it.... Is that it?

"Linze! Stop him with the ice magic. Just a few seconds."

"Huh? Wow, I get it!

Hear that, Yae and Else move out. To distract Durahan and divert his attention from me and Lindsay. I know, our teamwork is pretty good.

"Ice. Intertwined, Ice Curse, Ice Bind"

Linze's magic activates and Durahan's feet freeze instantly. In an attempt to escape that curse, a knight without a neck cracked in the ice as he could put his strength into both legs, and began to peel off little by little. Is that so?

"Multiple!"

My unattributed magic is activated. Four magic formations floated around me. [M] Then cast the magic of light attributes.

"Light, put on, shining holy spear, shining javelin"

Shortly after, four spears of light jumped out of the four magic formations, momentum well. The spear all goes to Durahan in a straight line. Unattributed magic that omits continuous chanting and allows simultaneous activation. That's "Multiple".

To the spear of light that strikes, the knight without his neck managed to escape, but Linze's ice does not allow it.

With all the light all over his body, Durahan lost his right arm, lost his flank, lost his left leg, and slowly fell, losing his chest.

Blackness overflows from the worn armor, scattered in the wind.

The knight without his neck moved, there was no more.

"You're cleaned up."

"I'm tired."

Else leaks a twinkle of relief, and Yae sits on the ground with Petan. I can't help it. Because she's the one who keeps making most of the attacks and has been dealing with Durahan all along.

"It was a miscalculation that a large group of unicorn wolves were with us. It was dangerous..."

Linze seems to be stroking her breasts down ho too.

We've had our Alliance Rank go green in the last few months. Black > Purple > Green > Blue > Red > Silver > Change to Gold, Third from Under Alliance Rank. I can get you to acknowledge me as a one-man adventurer when I get here.

I just tried to get a green request, but once in a while Else has suggested that I try to get a request in a different town guild.

So I chose to crusade the demons nestled in this ruin from a green request form that was at the Alliance headquarters in Wangdu.

Originally, they say this ruin was a king's capital over 1,000 years ago. Apparently the king at the time abandoned this land and chose to create a new king's capital. I guess it's the one in transition.

I don't know how it was at the time, but now the walls full of holes where it spreads and the cobblestones and buildings that barely leave the shape of the town, it and the completely collapsed royal castle, the seemingly rubble. It's just ruins now.

How long can demons and warcraft dwell in their ruins, and a cycle can apparently be created whereby those who are asked by us crusade, but after a while, demons dwell again, and crusade again?

It is true that when one demon after another arrives, they may eventually form a herd. I guess I should crusade regularly.

"But there's nothing to say about the old King's Capital..."

Collapsed walls, walls, walls even looking around. They say a royal castle was once built here on a beautiful hill. I wonder if the Duke or Su's ancestors lived here as well.

But after the transition, I don't know why this city has been abandoned so far. Like Dong Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms, it was a forced transition capital to light castles and private houses?

"It would be interesting if there was a king's hidden treasure or something."

"No, it won't. If they destroy the country, they just took the treasure and everything."

"I know, I'm just saying"

Else pointing her mouth at the eight objections. A treasure.

There were Tokugawa burial money and Takeda burial money in my world, but I knew there was one of these over here. You don't hate me either. [M] The treasure hunt is a man's romance.

Well, I figured it out. That magic might work.

"Search: Treasures"

Try using search magic. If I had something nearby that I could recognize as a treasure, I'd know it now.... Yeah, you don't. Is that obvious?

"Did you use" search "? How'd it go?

"At least there's no treasure nearby."

Answer your search results with a bitter smile at Else as she asks excitedly.

"Oh well... too bad"

"Okay, but Mr. Winter Night just can't recognize him as a treasure, and there could be something valuable, right?

Oh, my sister seems to have been a romantic in her treasure hunt. That's twins.

Indeed, Lindsay is right, for example, suppose there were paintings by painters of great value. But if you look at that and you think I'm just "it looks like graffiti," then searching for "something of value" won't catch you. Only the sense of the operator, the big mess, is this magical strengths and weaknesses. I might react once I know the value of the painting.

It does make sense. In Treasures, the crown, sword, and grand chastisement made of gems and gold were such images. Hmmm then......

"Search: Historical Relics"

I guess "something of historical value" would catch on. Oh, but this would also be useless if I didn't have that knowledge... Is that it?

"... caught"

"" "Huh!?

There it is, something of historical value. This ruin itself is reacting, but more than that is nearby. Sharpen your senses. Yeah, I do feel it.

"Which one is it?!?

"... this way. I feel it from this side. That's big, what is this?

"" "Big?

Proceed as you feel in ruins. Everyone followed me and eventually came to the site of the collapsed debris. Oh?

"From below? Under this rubble?

What to do with the rubble of a building that seems like tons. As I was on my way, Lindsay moved forward.

"Flame, blow it up, Red Lotus explosion, Explosion"

With the sound of a huge explosion, the debris blows to pieces. Hey, isn't that too much, Mr. Linze!

"... cleaned up"

Lindsay just starts to find out where the rubble was. What is it, this enthusiasm?

I feel even stronger when I stand where there was rubble, too. Under here...?

Nothing in the cobblestone underfoot... hmm? What is this?

Some of the cobblestones are missing and I see something down there. Calling everyone, one stone after the other, it was a double door made of about tatami tatami iron. Here it is......

Join forces to open that iron door. For some reason it was never rusty and I was able to open it properly. Maybe it's not iron at all.

And beneath it, the stone staircase that led to the basement greeted us creepily...
