Legend

A tall metal noise sounds one after the other in the woods at night.

Until earlier, many of the moonlights were blocked for tree branches, but now the fighters there...... Ray and Anterm's appearance were illuminated by soft moonlights.

The reason for this was that many of the trees that had grown around them had been severed and had fallen to the ground by the attacks of Ray and Anterm.

Meki...... and still sever the trunk of a tree where the strike of the demon sword of Anterm, evaded by Ray, is growing in the forest of Trento.

Normally, it is not possible to cut a tree that is about the thickness of an adult's torso with a single slash.

I guess Anterm is a rank A adventurer because he has the strength to do that.

"You're the only master of escape. Hey, what's up? You can fight with that Griffon, right?

With the Devil's Sword in his hand, he was an anterm provoking Ray to mock him for avoiding his attacks, but Ray turns his mockery to Anterm's words in reverse.

"If it's just a big swing, it doesn't have to be you. For bragging about rank A, the attack is slow, not sharp enough, and not powerful enough. All in all, I don't think your strength is rank A. Why don't we start over around Rank D.

Ray said it in a provocative way, but the word probably contains lies.

It was true that Anterm's attack hadn't hit Ray yet... on the contrary, he hadn't even been able to scratch a scratch, but that blow was fast, sharp, and powerful enough.

Rather than rank D, he had enough strength as rank A.

Still, Ray doesn't imitate things like fighting with Seto, as Anterm says.

To crush and trample the pride of Anterm, poking at the fact that he defeated Anterm on his own merit alone and lost without borrowing the strength of a monster of rank S equivalent called Seto.

Ray turns his gaze on the wolf's body only for a moment while dodging Anterm's attack.

The body was collected in one place by Seto while Ray was fighting.

In the battle, act to care about the wolf's body so that Ray can't show his strength and so on.

Thanks to this, Ray was now free to fight.

Nevertheless, Ray's attacks are basically considerably less numerous than Anterm's.

It was obvious from what I saw that Ray was playing defense.

"At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure you're focused on dodging. That's because you're not strong enough."

"If that's what you really think, you've got an eye-catching head. Well, naturally it seems that way when I see how you're doing."

Ray returns to Taunt with Taunt.

Normally, there would be no such thing as riding such an easy provocation.

But that's only if it's normal.

Anterm is a high pride...... no, maybe in this case you should repudiate it as self-esteem, but I can't allow myself to be insulted in any case.

From his previous interactions with Anterm, Ray understood his opponent's character like that.

(This isn't just pride without strength, it's troublesome)

Ray has fought so far...... no, it may be more right that he has disposed of it unilaterally, but the aristocracy he has defeated in all of them was pointlessly high in pride and self-esteem.

Unlike these people, Anterm has the strength to be promoted to Rank A.

Besides, it's solo because of its character.

Character was a worthy opponent of the word inferior species, but it was very troublesome to have something that just couldn't beat rank for its strength.

"What's up? Is your demon sword and all, after all, just a substitute for appearance, just like you? No, the trees are cut, so maybe they can be used as a replacement for the axe."

Saying so, Ray makes his death-size and dusk spear in his own hand look like an anterm.

"Look at my magic items compared to your cheap demon sword. Even a guy of your age can see the difference, right?

"You…"

The Devil's Sword held by Anterm is never the cheap Devil's Sword as Ray says it is.

Even with the rewards of a Rank A Adventurer, it is a first-class Demon Sword with a price that cannot be easily bought.

However... Ray's Death Size and Dusk Spear were clearly superior compared to such a first-class Devil's Sword.

Now if Anterm had no eyes to see things, he could have told me not to be kidding.

But Anterm only uses a large number of magic items and has something definite when it comes to the eyes that look at magic items.

From the eyes of such an anterm, Ray's Death Size and Twilight Spear are in fact more obvious than his Devil's Sword.

... No, not just Death Size and Dusk Spears.

Dragon robes would otherwise be recognized as normal robes due to their concealment effect, but Anterm recognized Dragon robes as solid dragon robes.

And the Dragon Robe is also a very high-performance magic item in Anterm that has no hands or feet.

Just so you know, I feel like I'm more understated than Ray as a person who uses a lot of magic items.

Strong hatred of Ray probably has something to do with that area as well.

"You…"

Out of Anterm's mouth was the exact same word as a few seconds ago.

But the killer that is put in there has an overwhelming power, either to lose his hips immediately if there are ordinary people… in some cases it's just not strange to blow bubbles and pass out.

In the sense of hurting Anterm's pride, Ray's prospects take a brilliantly successful form.

"What's up? Is that all you can say? If I try you, you can't admit your immaturity. But the facts are facts. How many times have you called, it doesn't change."

"You!

It was an anterm that uttered the same word three times, but this time screaming and at the same time packing an intermission towards Ray, waving the Devil's Sword.

Such a demon sword blow, Ray dodges it as before... instead of using a dusk spear to recieve it.

(Grunts, don't do it)

Ray was trying not to put it on his expression, but the blow of the demon sword unleashed by Anterm is quite powerful.

Ray didn't change his expression, which may have seemed like he was appropriately attacking, but he's actually heartily surprised by that blow.

Still, there were times when it was a blow after being provoked, or rather a cluttered blow compared to the original Anterm blow.

"What's up? If you're angry, is that the only blow you're gonna end up with? Because it could be a mistake that you've become a Rank A Adventurer. Or did you even bribe an Alliance official?

"You!

Ray's insult causes the blood to rise on Anterm's head unnecessarily.

Even if you are a Rank A adventurer, I wonder if you are that prone to anger, and yes Ray thinks... still, you don't speak of dissatisfaction any more than it is advantageous for you.

(Still, that means we're going backwards so far... maybe, in fact, did you really even send it in the back money?

If it were Guild of Guilds, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that the recipients of such a backing... are not there, but I could have said that Ray is still pretty much not what he sees.

When Marina was guild master, that marina's ability did not make such imitation easy.

If you think about it now, maybe you've been monitoring the area with spiritual magic? And that's what I think when I think of Marina's spiritual magic technology.

But...... yes, that's because this is the guild on the border, so there's a lot of discernment in strength as well.

If a guild of guilds on the periphery bribes you, it could also be an event that would cause the worst damage to the guilds themselves.

But Anterm is not an adventurer from the Guild, he came to the Guild with an introduction from the Count Zorgela family.

Beyond that, there is a good chance that he did something about the promotion exam using bribes…

"Oh, was it true that maybe you ranked up for bribery? Is that why you're so upset?

"Don't insult me!

With that voice, the demon sword to be wielded.

Reinforced by the magic of Anterm, Ray also understands in previous exchanges.

But... even if it's a demon sword used by an antelm-like handyman.

Besides such effects, I expect there will be some special effects... which is why I was able to react to Anterm's attack at the next moment.

"Let go!"

That one word was the trigger, from the Devil's Sword wielded by Anterm, the slaughter flies.

Flying slaughter!

Ray looked familiar with that slaughter that came at him, and thanks to it he was able to deal with it immediately.

The slaughter released engraves a scar about ten centimetres deep in the trunk of the tree behind the ray.

He scarred the trunk of a sturdy tree quite deeply with a single blow.

"You said you avoided this blow!?

Only a slash similar to a flying slash, Ray also dodged it with a half-assed look, but Anterm distorts his face in dismay at how he didn't think the current blow would be dodged.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for showing me the rare attack. I'll show you something nice, too. Don't move, okay?... Flying Slash!

Death Size Skill, Ray Activating Flying Slash.

The waved blow flies straight towards the anterm...... right through it, damaging the trunk of the tree that was behind it.

Don't move, yes. As Ray said, Ray wasn't going to let Anterm hit the blow of the Flying Slash from the start.

I tried to break Anterm's heart by showing that he could use the attack again.

"Become!?

And the fact is, such a ray's unleashed blow was enough to surprise Anterm.

(I... no, the Death Size to be exact, but I thought it was a fairly well known story that you could use Flying Slash... well, it looks like Anterm didn't even know about me, and isn't it strange if you don't have that information? That's why I'm not going to give you a break.)

Ray laughs and opens his mouth to a surprised look anterm.

"What's up? Something so surprising about this extent?

"You…"

"I don't know, I think I only heard the word you just now. Can't you say anything else? Or is that the only word you can speak?

"If that's all you have to say, let me show you the power of this demon sword!

Screaming with exasperation, Anterm packs an intermission with Ray with the Devil's Sword in his hand.

Before such an anterm, Ray put up a death-size and dusk spear.

Ray's weapon is a long one for both sides.

That's why Ray can't show his lead when he gets stuffed in time... which is also something Ray knows for many enemies he has fought so far.

That's why it's not a hard story to deal with an Anterm attack.

In the first place, what Anterm has is not a dagger, but a long sword demon sword.

Effective use of that blow requires some distance, even though it is not as long as a spear-like weapon.

Yet why have you packed your time so far when you have such a demon sword in your hand?

I was Ray with that doubt, but now it was better to deal with Anterm than to question it.

Someone I couldn't say I've been with for a long time, but I still had a friendly relationship and thought I'd probably enjoy doing it in the future.

Being killed such a wolf was a good enough reason to make Ray angry.

That's why now we need to do the act of breaking Anterm's pride.

I know my opponent is a Rank A Adventurer and capable.

But try not to put it on the table...... I needed to show that Anterm was not my enemy.

(Are you willing to hit me with a demon sword pattern?

If it is a demon sword, it is not strange, even if there was some way of attacking it by contacting the patterned part rather than just the body.

If so, is there such a means?

Ray thought that way, instead of fighting back as it is...... he decides to take a distance once.

Because I don't know what effect it has over being a demon sword.

That's how the moment I kicked the ground and left Anterm...

"I thought you were coming!

With the words, Anterm waved the Devil's Sword, even though it did not reach him... and when his body stretched out unexpectedly, he attacked Ray.
