Legend

When Ray used the magic of exploration and spread flames all around him... his reaction returned instantly.

The reaction was about twenty meters behind me.

Naturally there is no figure of Vicente, no figure of Seto, and the figure of the old man has disappeared the moment he touches the flame.

If you get that far, it's not that hard to figure out who hooked up to your flames for exploration.

Swing the death size toward those who had an immediate rear reaction.

"Flying slaughter!

Released with that word was a flying slaughter.

... but the power of that slaughter was clearly inferior to what Ray always used.

(Shit, this is what sanctuary is all about!

Pushing and killing bitter thoughts, he kicks the ground while activating the magic for exploration to the flying slaughter.

I was somewhat worried about leaving Vicente, who hated me so much that even the expression hated me...... but I also thought it would be safe to leave it to Seto.

In fact, Ray, who saw Vicente and Seto on the verge of heading behind him, confirmed Seto's appearance there, struggling with the effects of the sanctuary but crossing each other with Vicente.

"Magic Shield!

Even if he's an old man, he's part of Stigma.

It also has the nasty ability to freely manipulate very elaborate phantoms.

Other than that, I guess it's natural to prepare for a time when I don't know what other abilities I have.

As far as Ray knows, a magic shield that can prevent any powerful attack was a very useful skill when he didn't know the other hand tag.

But even with such handy skills, there are problems.

It's only a shield of light that stands out at night.

... Most importantly, it is unfolding the red armor of the Flaming Emperor, so I guess it doesn't make a big difference in the sense that it stands out in terms of the magic shield's degree of light.

(I knew the movement was dull!

The scenery flowing around Ray was clearly slower than before the sanctuary unfolded, even though it was said to be a trip using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

Of course still, for a normal adventurer, it's definitely a speed like whether or not you can follow the moving shadow.

But the difference was enormous for the moving person.

That's the same for an old man who's noticed Ray coming straight toward him.

"Hihihi. I was surprised at the arm I found... but are you going to challenge him in that state?

Ton '.

I wonder if he kicked the ground lightly, and the next moment the old man packs the distance from himself to Ray instead of fleeing Ray.

What's in that hand is the same wand.

At first glance, it just looks like a cane used by an old man, but it can't be more than a cane used by a person who is part of Stigma.

As expected, the old man points his tip toward Ray when he lifts his cane.

The tip of the wand is sharply pointed and close to estock in the sense of a weapon with an emphasis on penetration.

Furthermore, light gathers at the tip of the cane, shining slightly but white.

It was only at night that we could notice the presence of white light, but if this is in the sun, it is suspicious whether we would have noticed that light.

(What do we do? If you're incapable of being good at something like sanctuary again... no, I don't mind. I can't take any more time here than I'm letting Seto have one. Stop at once!)

It's not like you don't trust Seto.

But in Seto, which has just entered a place called this sanctuary, there will be some confusion.

If Vicente pokes that gap, even Ceto could be dangerous.

Thinking about it, Ray needed to put an old man in front of him as soon as possible and head to Seto's reinforcements.

At the same time, there are circumstances in which the magic for exploration continues to be activated in order to ascertain the position of the old man who uses phantoms.

Activating the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor in this sanctuary, and even using magic at the same time, continues to drain unbearable magic if you are a normal wizard.

That's why Ray's magic continues to drain at a rate that can be said to be squared twice as fast as when he normally uses Flaming Emperor red armor and magic.

You can't disarm the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor to deal with Vicente, but if you defeat the old man in front of you, you can disarm the Magic One. Therefore, it was necessary to defeat them as soon as possible.

The old man also has the thought of prolonging the fight a little rather than trying to settle with Ray right away.

Not that I could beat Ray on my own, but because I wanted to wait for Vicente to come as a reinforcement if I could.

(Originally, I just can't believe that we can deal with stigmas like the one in the sanctuary... that we only have a deep red alias.)

The time it took for each other to bump into each other hasn't taken three seconds.

Still, that's all we can afford to think about in each other's heads, and eventually Ray's death size and old man's wand bump into each other.

"Power slash!

It was Ray who took the lead.

Instead of slashing and tearing your opponent apart, a blow you deserve to describe as slashing and smashing will be fired at the old man.

I understand that the appearance of my relative person is an old man.

But I didn't think he was just an old man, more than he was called Stigma.

Still, considering it's about the same size of a body as Ray's, I don't think pure physical ability is similar to Vicente's.

It is understandable that there is something more prominent than physical ability than being a member of Stigma, even in that state.

Then don't let that protruding thing be used and push it off with a difference in physical ability at once.

It was a power slash unleashed with that intention.

"Hih!

So magnificent that I think I might crush my body... then a fast blow.

What came to my old man's expression when I saw it was a grin.

I had my doubts about that, Ray, but sometimes now it means activating the magic for exploration and keeping the flames, and I need to defeat the old man in front of me a little faster.

The Death Size, wielded with such thought, went straight to the old man... for some reason the old man accepted it without preventing or evading the attack.

My place is supposed to be known by flames, so why? Ray with such doubts.

I was also wondering if you were willing to accept your end very much because you couldn't escape, Ray, but I immediately deny the idea.

Stigma's... part of the Holy Light religion, no matter how many good old men you seem to be.

More than that, I can't accept my attacks, which I call great enemies.

In fact, the blade of power slash released by Ray was slashed and torn apart without any resistance at the moment it touched the body of the old man, because the figure of the old man who should have been there had disappeared at the next moment.

"Huh!?

The moment he disappeared, he was Ray, who realized he had been danced to the Phantom of the Old Man again, but reflexively shifts his consciousness to the flames for exploration.

Yes. Without a doubt the figure of the old man was in front of him.

It was for a moment that I was lost in such a way as to make it a phantom and not a phantom. Ray, who instinctively understands that magic never betrays him, manipulates the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, whips it up and slaps it in front of him.

"Yikes!"

That's how I screamed, in the same place where there was an old man earlier.... except it was pretty close to the ground.

Create a phantom of the way you stood, and the person kneels down and waits for a chance to put a blow into Ray.

I guess it was such a prospect, but in many ways Ray's presence was a substitution for the old man as well.

Not magic, not even a death-sized blade...... not to mention an attack such as Ray's waving fist, but the red magic that existed around Ray as the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor. It would have been completely unexpected for the old man that the object would attack.

Eating a decent attack, an old man the size of Ray blows away.

Due to the effect of the sanctuary, the effect of the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor has fallen. Also, the old man wore Vicente-like armor just because he was a stigma.

Still, if it's an indirect fever, you can't possibly just take the Flaming Emperor's red armor itself directly and leave it intact.

That tells the story of a painful scream that leaked out of the old man's mouth when he was blown away.

Originally, the old man could also take some pain as a member of Stigma with a laugh.

But the blow caused by the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, unleashed aggressively by Ray, is beyond the limits of the old man.

Ray's magic was compressed and the concentrated Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor had that much power.

"Geez, ya... do it. I didn't know you were going to do this with two people, Non and Vicente..."

He was an old man with an open mouth, but Ray ignores such an old man's words and slashes Death Size in his hand again.

It was obvious that the intention was to buy time.

If I don't have time to go along with such an act, I go straight ahead with a distanced old man.

"Flying slaughter!

While releasing a blow of restraint to avoid being moved by a detour.

Previously, it has been a skill that has been disabled several times by the old man, but not this time.

He skipped a vertical slash so that he wouldn't get squatted in and dodged like he did earlier.

If you move left or right, Ray will detect its position with the flames that are spreading on the ground, and even if you fall back, you can't avoid a flying slash that is approaching straight ahead.

If you move at all from where you are now, that will be immediately detected by Ray.

As things stand, there's only one way an old man can take it because Ray can't find his move.

"Up there!

With that word, Ray's speed increases as he moves toward where the old man was.

What I heard slightly in Ray's ear like that was the sound of slashing and tearing the air.

The moment the Flying Slash touches him, the figure of the old man can disappear as before.

Still, Ray pushes on believing that the old man jumped and escaped the flying slaughter... the next moment, Ray's unfolding magic shield turns into a grain of light and disappears.

It was easy to imagine why that had happened.

The wind-cut sound I heard a moment ago. I wonder if the leaping old man made some kind of attack on Ray as he approached himself.

But it's a magic shield that can disable all attacks once and for all. There was no way we could have done something about the attack to the point of restraint.

Most importantly, it may have been different if we attacked twice or three times than it was an absolute defense only once, but despite being in the sanctuary, Ray's approaching speed was also very quick with the effect of the Flaming Emperor's red armor, and there is no temporal respite enough for the old man to make a second attack.

"Flying slaughter!

Flying slaughter to be released again.

Flying slaughter flies straight into the air...

"Grr!"

Hit a spot where there is nothing. No, a distressed voice echoes around.

And at the next moment an old man appears blowing through the air as if seeping out.

It would still be because of the armor that he has not been cut off his torso while receiving a flying slash properly.

Its armor, produced using light ore, has a high defense.

... I could still see the armor shaking in Ray's eyes chasing after the blowing old man.

Nor does the old man just wait in silence for Ray to come in with his magic running into Death Size as it is.

I manage to create a phantom and make myself lose sight of myself and pierce Ray's body at the tip of the cane.

That's what I was going to do...... stay here or Ray's running speed will be even higher than before.

Catching up with the blowing old man...... No, Ray, approaching with momentum as if to overtake him, understands that the old man is about to make his last evil upside, from which he increases his speed even more.

The old man opened his eyes wide at a very unlikely rate to be in the sanctuary...

Slash!

Along with that sound, Ray's magical death-size is swung down with the physical ability raised by the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, cutting off the body of the old man who was blowing through the air.

That blow, which enters from the shoulder and soaks from the flank, easily takes the life of the old man, and his body falls to the ground as he sprinkles his guts, pieces of flesh, blood and bones on the ground, rolling more than ten meters.

Thereafter, strong blood and gut odors spread around him at temperatures that were heightened by the activation of Ray's Flaming Emperor's red armor.

But Ray ignores it and turns his gaze toward Ceto.

There, Vicente's figure was stopped for a moment by Ceto's crystal brace.

Seeing that the other consciousness was completely directed toward Seto, Ray flashed through Vicente's torso with his magical death size, which was stopped by the demonic eye of impact, kicking the ground at once, wearing the red armor of the Flaming Emperor, and cutting off his torso.
