"Guuuuuuu!"
Ray's swinging flash of death size - still the patterned part, not the blade - causes several soldiers to be summed up and blown away.
That those soldiers also serve the nobility, I guess they had the corresponding power... but from Ray's point of view, it still doesn't seem that the end of the day is so different from those who have fought so far.
(In that sense, the knights who fought second were by far the strongest)
In fact, it took a few minutes to settle the battle with the knights, because it was the strongest fight I've ever fought.
At first Ray was just wondering if we were going to have a mock fight in order of weak strength, but it wasn't actually.
Because no one with more strength than those knights has come out so far.
(Individuals are stronger than knights.)
I'm guessing he was hired this time. There are a few adventurers who deserve to be called handymen, and their strength was undoubtedly knights...... above the knights serving the Count Leremera family.
In the end, however, there is only a degree of strength that is not particularly problematic from Ray's point of view, and that is what has not reached such a level as outweighing quantity by quality.
Also, unlike the knights, they weren't even with the guys they usually party with, and they could never say they were good when it came to working together.
If those adventurers fight knights, they can win one-on-one, but knights prevail in mass combat.
That's how strong it was.
"This is awesome! Literal kick! But of that little body of Ray, where does it have the power to just blow the five men together in one blow!?
The audience cheers for the kind of words the MC man incites.
Nevertheless, some of those cheers also mix the whining voices of those who lost the bet, not all of them necessarily voices such as supporting Ray.
Doesn't that mean it's a mock fight at first, and you need to make something like a showcase for all sorts of opponents? I thought so, Ray, but such thoughts have now faded considerably by repeatedly fighting similar opponents.
Before Ray, who holds the Death Size and the Spear of Dusk, the next mock opponent appeared… with the voice of the MC man, Ray was to advance from himself to the men rushing towards him.
The aristocrats watching Ray defeat his mock opponents one after the other... ravage had a variety of reactions.
Some people are convinced that the rumors they have heard were true, others are offended by the defeat of soldiers and knights serving them, others send praise purely to the strength of Ray, and some question why a small figure like Ray has so much power.
It would be Liberté, the Duke of Kelevel, and his daughter Elaine, who are seeing the overwhelming strength of Ray satisfactorily in that.
There is no such thing as Arcadia, Elaine's mother, as Liberté's wife.
This year is over, because we are having tea parties with noble wives and daughters who keep coming to attend New Year's parties.
Of course, the fact that we can see the intensity of Ray with his deep red alias means that some people are throwing out a tea party and coming here.
"You're lying... what is it now? No, not just for now, but including before... is an adventurer so strong?
"Alas, not all adventurers are strong, that's what he's proving. Some of the mock opponents defeated so far included quite a few adventurers, didn't they? Just because you're an adventurer, it can vary in strength."
"Damn, it's impudent. Tomorrow we need to train harder."
"We think so, too. What do you say? Next time, even joint training. It would be better for soldiers and knights."
"Deep red ray, huh?... It would be nice if the Duke of Kelp were in a friendly relationship with someone with that kind of power... It's called the matter of the Princess General, isn't it a little too much power? As it is, the Kings may be vigilant."
"I also understand that concern. But are there many kings with aliases, starting with Rank S Adventurers? If so, I don't think there's anything that bothers me that much."
"If you say so, you know what? The King's Earl of Mortren has succeeded in subordinating an adventurer of aliases."
"Oh my God. Is that true?
"Yeah, I got hooked on our information network.... Sometimes the aristocracy is strengthening its relationship with the neutrals, and I guess the Kings are in a hurry too"
Only Gaiska stares at Ray with a caged gaze of hatred as each speaks to those nearby.
This simulation took place because it actually meant confirming how strong Ray originally was, so there's absolutely no problem with the current development. No, it was even the best result for Ninglo Gaiska.
Still, I guess I feel uncomfortable because I still don't care about the existence of Ray.
I know, but if I still see the sight of Ray hating being praised by the other nobles, I won't have pleasant thoughts.
(Damn, was that a black wolf? I guess that guy is really here to determine Ray's prowess!
Never less...... on the contrary, Geiska has already paid the amount that would undoubtedly be a problem if my parents knew.
Of course I didn't pay the full amount, but it's still the amount I worked so hard to twist above the limit for Gaiska today.
The mansion that the Marquis Seysor family has in Anesis...... that is what Gaiska currently lives in also asks the man in the intermediary to borrow the amount as collateral.
He also prepares rewards by imitating various other things as collateral or selling them.
If Ray's assassination succeeds, I would naturally have to pay the rest of the amount... Geiska was half optimistic around it.
If I sold Ray's magic item, that's why I had decided that I could afford to get back the money I paid the Black Wolf.
(If that's the case, should I say that Ray is trying to show off the magic items that he has in order to make a big profit to me? Well, why don't you work for me?)
Geiska's gaze, which was irritating, heals slightly.
It was Gaiska watching Ray fight while he did so, but if you look at those who are defeated one after another, you can't stop thinking they're impudent.
(No, even if Ningro Black Wolf sees this battle, can he really understand Ray's prowess?
Geiska understood from the sight of Ray fighting, that he was clearly not at full strength.
On the contrary, he said he was openly clueless. I even think so.
Beyond that, if the Black Wolf were to target Ray, would the assassination fail as a result of realizing that Ray's strength was to this extent?
I even hold that thought.
"Geiska, what's up? I don't think he's really focused."
That's what the man who was sitting a little far away asks you if you wondered how Gaiska was doing.
It was a word from a lower-ranked opponent called the Baron House, but Geiska returns the word, hiding the mockery emotions in her heart.
"Oh. Kind of. The deep red I know would have been stronger. I didn't have that many fancy fights for it, so I was just wondering."
"Uh... that's right. I guess the opponent you're fighting is too weak. If you really want Ray to show his strength, he deserves it... oh, look at that. What a rumor. It's an ice blade."
To that word, Geiska turns her gaze to the stage again.
Standing there is one man.
Are you in your late twenties to early thirties?
A rare long sword that wears a leather armor made of monster leather for ease of movement and holds a water-colored tampon.
But Gaiska knows that the long sword with its water-colored body is the Devil's Sword.
That's the Devil's Sword with the ability to manipulate the ice, as the alias suggests.
The alias Ice Blade also comes naturally from the Devil's Sword in its hand.
"This is going to be a little funny"
That's what I told you, Gaiska, but I'm not looking forward to the fight in the right way.
Until now, it was obviously Ray who fought with modesty, but a word from the decision that if he were to deal with an alias, there would be no room for him to do so, like he was obviously doing with modesty.
(The Black Wolf guy wouldn't imitate you to miss this fight either, would he?... I'm talking about being an expert, and isn't there such a stupid story)
Looking at the two ice blades and Ray talking about something on the stage ahead of her gaze, Geiska must have finally visited her. She was concentrating her consciousness so that she didn't miss Ray's seriousness.
"You didn't think you could fight that deep red in a place like this. Well, it's a mock fight... but if we fight for real, it could damage Anesis as well on this stage. In that sense, I'm glad it was a mock fight."
"Right. I didn't think I was going to fight the Ice Blade Exoris either."
Ray naturally knew about the Exoris he was going to talk about.
When I heard about a lot of adventurers being hired in this mock fight, naturally, it wasn't surprising that some of those adventurers had aliases.
Rather than having an alias, Ray will naturally choose to have an alias as an opponent in order to compete with each other so that a simulated battle can be established with Ray.
Most importantly, when it comes to hiring someone with an alias who has just entered a long vacation in the winter, as a matter of course, there needs to be a huge reward there.
Less rewards just don't compare to adventurers like Ray has fought in mock warfare before.
(In that sense, I hired this ice blade... you did well)
According to information gathered by Ray, a person named Ice Blade had a rather insane personality.
That's such a character that if it's an interested request, you may take it even if the reward is low, and if it's a request you don't like the other way around, you won't take it no matter how high the reward is.
With such an opponent in front, Ray hands a death-size and dusk spear just like before.
"Up-and-coming...... as long as it takes Ray a lot of time to get an alias, and I don't think I can say so, but I'm happy to be able to fight a new alias anyway"
"I don't feel bad about being able to fight aliases."
"Really? Let me try not to disappoint you for now."
Saying so, Exoris gently waves the Devil's Sword.
Try to follow the trajectory of that demon sword, ice spear...... no, should we call it the ice column shorter? The icicle pierces the stage.
(Is that the ability of the Devil's Sword?... but it's not strange that there are other abilities of the Devil's Sword. Nevertheless, if we maximize the abilities of the Devil's Sword, I think we'll be sorry for the simulation.... well, okay)
Originally, it would be odd to admit lightly that you might die.
But Ray didn't think he would lose even in a mock battle with Exoris, which is why he decided he would be free to use his Devil's Sword abilities.
I guess that's how you understood the conversation between the two of you was over. The MC man opens his mouth to stir the audience's expectations.
"Now, this mock fight will be a battle between aliases. It will be another different battle than the mock battles we have had. Gentlemen, please don't miss the battle between the aliases.... Then, start mock warfare!
At the same time that the MC man's words echo, Ray and Exoris both step forward at once.
Ray was the first to launch the attack, where the distances between us have narrowed.
Unlike Exoris with the Devil's Sword, Ray's weapons are the Great Sickle and the Spear, both of which are long patterned weapons.
More than that, it was natural for Ray to take the lead here.
The first shot fired was a blow by Death Size.
Taking a blow as if to prune his life, Exoris tried to pack an intermission with Ray while avoiding by lowering his posture… but the next moment, he jumped quickly to the side.
The dusk spear Ray had with his left hand pierces where Exoris' body was momentarily ago.
It wasn't a strange blow to even see the remnants, but I guess it was an attack that could be dealt with adequately for Exoris.
But... once distanced from Ray, Exoris frowns slightly with the Devil's Sword in his hand.
"That's a pain in the ass. You know, even though you have a long weapon in between, you use two at the same time."
"That's a compliment to me. Anyway, I've hardly ever seen a user other than me, and it's almost equal to me."
That's what Ray said, and he had a good grin.
