Instant Death

Episode 8 I will now attack you with this wand. [M] If I die, I win!

It was a battle like Rick's without hands or feet.

Even though I became a swordsman, it does not depend on my strength.

Instead, it's nothing but an inheritance.

Of course, Kensei is a class recognized in the system that defines the world, and just by becoming that class you acquire a variety of abilities. You will be able to unleash unparalleled power against enemies around the world.

But that was all I had.

Rick's rank before becoming swordsman was the king's sword. The strength of swordsmanship was only commensurate with its rank.

It was not capable of breaking the earth with a single blow, tearing space, and fighting alongside the high knights who moved beyond the speed of sound.

Rick was forced to watch from a distance.

It's a pity, but even if you put your hands down badly, it'll just make your feet tight.

Rick had to watch the lower knights attack and fall lightly without considering their strength. Because I, the swordsman, cannot die.

If Kensei's credentials are given to someone in advance, they can be replaced automatically in the event of death.

But how meaningful is that in this situation? The knights of the Holy King were dying one after the other. With this, Kensei no longer exists, and the protector of the world called Kensei begins to disappear.

"Huh. Let's do it. At least it's more fun than the great woman!

The number of UEGs had somehow increased to four.

And four knights of the Holy King. They were the only ones who survived a proper match.

The others are in retribution. Life and death are unknown, but they fell all over the place and stopped moving.

"Whoa!

A sword-like bram throws a giant round blade.

UEG slightly turned back the blade that was about to be raised. But that wasn't the end of the attack. The knife was turned back into two blades somehow, arced large and headed back to the UEG.

Every time the UEG bounces a circle blade, the circle blade increases.

In so doing, they became countless blades, pushing and wrapping UEG.

And elsewhere, each knight is fighting another UEG.

Multon, the acoustic sword, waves a strangely shaped sword with holes at a distance from the UEG. Every time I swing around, there was a sound, and the ground was raised accordingly, and storms and thunderbolts were sounding.

Marino, who was about to break the sword, had a sword like Kasumi. I can't see clearly with my sword. When she waved her sword, UEG's sword was lightly severed. The sword dissolves everything it touches and disappears.

The UEG, who realized that it could not be defended, hastily avoided the attack.

Olba, the best swordsman, does not have a sword. I'm just being beaten, kicked, kicked. However, the bare hand attack is catching, bouncing, and pushing back the blade of the UEG straight away.

--It's not Mr. Tanohura, but it's not a very good way to call him a swordsman...

Rick remembered the girl who had been on an adventure before. She complained that she didn't think she was a swordsman when she saw Teresa fighting her sword.

The higher the swordsman's sequence, the more humans are separated. He even crossed the line of using a sword, but Rick didn't quite understand the story of the area. I can still understand how to shake a sword and tear apart a distant enemy, but if I fight with bare hands without even using a sword, I don't know what it is anymore.

However, the activities of such monstrous swordsmen were very reliable in this situation.

Rick glanced at his back.

The Holy King is performing the ritual. Light ran in response to complex hand movements, drawing geometric patterns on spheres of light whose trajectories floated in the sky.

I do not know the progress of the ceremony. But Rick also knew that the sphere of light was gaining strength.

I think we're almost there. If we can maintain the status quo a little longer, we can overcome this situation with the help of the Holy King.

Rick couldn't help but keep an eye on the battle, but he realized something strange.

The battle is too sticky.

The Holy King is the enemy he tries to defeat to the ritual. I don't suppose the knights can defeat it with all their might. Even though they are supposed to be, they are in an antagonistic match.

Probably out of hand. We cut through each strength and adjust the force so that it becomes mutually reinforcing.

It was as expected in terms of time spent, but the margin was creepy.

"Mr. Rick! How long will this last?!

Ryaniel called out.

Rick is ashamed that he didn't do anything by telling him to hide somewhere.

After all, statues like Rick are useless.

Almost there. I entered a magical compression journey. "

Frederica, who came with Ryaniel, said.

I used to recklessly attack demons, but I guess I've been a little cautious since then. I don't seem to be imitating a Special Attack without thinking about the opponent's abilities.

The sphere of light floating in the universe was smaller than when I saw it earlier. The amount of magic is growing even more, so it should still be going well.

"I don't know what it is at all, but if the Holy King's thing works, we can handle it!

"It must have been a ritual that sealed the demon. If only we could capture him in jail at the moment of stagnation."

"But that was after the Holy King and the demon had met."

"No. It was meant to capture only demons, so I hope it works...."

Rick wasn't sure it was going to happen.

Rick doesn't fully understand this sudden situation either.

"Hmm. It was interesting inside, but I think it's about time. Don't you dare."

UEG said.

That alone caused the knights of the Holy King to collapse on the spot.

Crawling on the ground, pressing his face against the soil. I wonder if that's the kind of force that holds us back from the sky. The knights were desperately trying to resist, but they couldn't shake their power and repeatedly hit their faces on the ground.

Three UEGs disappeared and one remained.

After all, I haven't been able to do any damage, and it seems like I was just playing, but it seems like I've earned my time, which is my original purpose.

"But can you defeat someone who can get out and disappear so easily!?"

"I want to believe that there is no such thing as total invincibility. And... I think Oz, my holy sword, is telling me that I can't defeat him."

What Rick has is a legendary sword passed down to the royal family. The legend's credibility is uncertain, but at least I've killed a goddess named Vahanato who appeared in the sealed tower.

The sword emitted a blurry heat and trembled slightly.

It seemed like Rick was telling me to use me and slay God.

"Well, it looks like you're pretty ready, but it's not funny that you're going to stand on a stick. I'll fight you pretty hard, so do something about it."

UEG was licking Rick and the others.

If you take it seriously because of its strength, you can destroy your enemies immediately. It's not funny, but I'm enjoying getting out of hand and scratching my opponent desperately to fight.

But if you're imposing a restriction on yourself not to take it seriously, there might be a gap for Rick and the others to enter.

But I couldn't afford to take it easy.

The UEG slowly began to walk toward the Holy King.

Anyway, we have to stop them from going. Rick's strength is inferior to that of a superior swordsman, but Rick has the power to be a swordsman. I had no choice but to believe there was a chance.

"Um, can I have a moment?

Ryaniel raised his hand as he prepared to die and confronted the UEG.

And he stood in front of the UEG.

"Huh? I thought I'd miss it if I didn't stand up to it anyway."

He shouted and soon Rhineal regretted it. If you keep quiet, you might have been saved for the time being.

Um... I thought I'd talk to you for a minute.... "

But Reinier is the knight of the Holy King.

What needs to be done now is to help the Holy King succeed in his attack.

I couldn't fight, but I thought I might be able to buy some time.

Speaking of which, I didn't say anything.

"Let's see. I see you as a famous god, what's your name?

Ryaniel has been successful in earning some time by talking to God before.

I wondered if the same hand would be effective this time.

From the gods, it would be a tiny existence that is not enough to take humans. If so, I wouldn't be anxious to kill that many people for danger. In other words, if you talk to them, they may respond to the conversation.

"Hmm. Didn't you name yourselves? Was that bad? I totally lost sight of who killed me, not just who. Let's name it again. My concubine is the ultimate god of slaughter. Abbreviations: UEG."

"I see. It was slaughtered... No, I think it's a wonderful name. What the hell is such a UEG doing? We're suddenly being called to fight, so I don't know why."

"Because I am the ultimate god of slaughter, slaughter is the purpose of my concubine. Nevertheless. My concubine cannot directly take care of those statues, so I will leave it to my subordinates. Therefore, the concubine kills only those who are worthy of it. I felt signs of a massive ritual coming from this place. I thought it was a countermeasure to my concubine, so I came here."

--Ah, if the purpose is killing, it's useless to say anything...

If there was any request, I wondered if I could buy time by fulfilling it, but if I just came here to kill, there was nothing I could do.

"My concubine can't help but stand in front of me. I'd be honored."

"Whoa, whoa, wait! Looking at UEG-sama's behavior just now, it seems that she is not serious. In other words, you were playing!

"Of course. If the concubine takes it seriously, the owners and others will soon die. I'll be very careful and relax."

"Well, that's right. When it comes to play, I don't think I have to fight anything. Then why don't you fight me?

"Huh? Well, whatever you do today, it doesn't make much sense... I'm not obsessed with fighting. My concubine doesn't like to fight directly in the first place. But what kind of game?

UEG's eyes were full of crap and he just said he'd kill them.

Um... There's a cane here. "

Ryaniel took out a small cane from his chest.

It is about the size of a fist with a big red stone on the tip.

"Hmm. It's full of magic. Some kind of weapon."

"Yes, a flame bullet pops out from the tip of the cane. I can't use magic, so Frederica filled me with magic."

Rhineal turned his wand towards the UEG.

"I know, but with that amount of magic, you can't hurt your concubine?

"Yes, but as light as me, it should have enough magic to kill a hundred times."

Hmm?

Did you think I was saying something strange? UEG looked suspicious. Apparently, it was very interesting.

"Here's what I'm going to do with you. I will now attack you with this wand. [M] If I die, I win!

"Hmm? I have no idea what that means.

"This wand. Can God help you find out what's funny?

"Hmm... the magic seems to be filled to its limit, but what's funny is..."

"In other words, if used normally, a flame bomb will be fired normally. That's how it's supposed to be.

Yeah?

"I am. I'm very unlucky. That's why! If I use this wand, I could explode and die! I'll bet on it! How about that!? You checked this wand and said there's nothing funny about it. In other words, you thought it would be fired normally. This is going to be a gamble, isn't it?

"... suppose you're unlucky. We want an outbreak in this situation, so don't you want it to happen? And if you die, you win, what's the point? If my concubine wins, I'll kill you."

"... ahh!

"... Lord, farewell?

UEG looked stunned, but did not try to close the conversation.

I'm earning my time as expected.

"I don't think so, but no one has ever said such a thing to a concubine. Very well. Let's ride this game."

"Huh? Really?

"What's wrong? Did you notice how scared you are?

"Er... there's no way to reinforce this wand so that it doesn't erupt with the power of God!

"Hmm. I won't interfere with the cane. The rules of battle are that if the wand breaks out, you win. Otherwise, my concubine will win. And if you win, you'll have to reward me... yes. She seems to be in love with you, and that woman will be the last to be killed."

UEG glanced at Frederica, who was standing by from a distance.

"Er... please stop the killing itself..."

"I can't do that. There is no way that your life will be worth it. Now, if you want to stop playing like this, why don't you stop playing like this?

Well, here we go.

Ryaniel has died many times.

The fear of death is therefore scarce, but I do not want to see the moment when the wand erupts.

Rhineal pointed the wand at the UEG and closed his eyes while pressing the switch attached to the wand.

With the sound of an explosion, the hand holding the cane jumped. With such momentum, Rhineal blew up and fell to the ground.

Rhineal opened his fearful eyes. At least my body feels painful.

The wand Ryaniel was holding was intact. Looks like you fired a flame bomb with a lot of momentum, but it didn't erupt.

So what happened when the wand fired magic?

Ryaniel saw the UEG.

UEG was lying on her back.

My right leg was blown off and I couldn't stand.

"Hmm? What does this mean..."

"As you can see. It's an outburst, so the concubine wins!

"Oh no... I can't believe that magic is normally fired..."

As a matter of course, Rhineal was stunned.

When I said I would win if I died, I didn't think it would change my fortune.

After all, I thought it would break out unlucky.

"But... the magic of the wand can't hurt one wound..."

That was strange, too.

Even the top knights didn't work at all, but Frederica's magical wand couldn't work.

"It's a blow to the heart. Very rarely, but it can explode as a result of various interactions of magic. It was released with more power than my concubine had expected, and I wiped out her body."

The UEG seemed to be setting physical strength according to the enemy.

In other words, a much more powerful attack than UEG predicts could be common.

"But why...."

Even though it's strange that you could just shoot normally, it's becoming incredibly powerful.

This was unlikely for the unlucky Rhineal.

"What an easy thing. I was just trying to improve your luck. I'm not messing with the cane, so it's not against the rules, is it?

"Can you do that!?"

"My concubine is a god. I don't even know how to make it..."

And the UEG stopped moving.

"Well done."

When I noticed, the Holy King and Rick stood next to each other.

Rhineal had forgotten his purpose halfway through, but the plan seemed to have succeeded.
