"So you're going to have an advantage?

Sarnak sets up his sword as he pushes and kills the upset.

"I may have forgotten, but Oul with the exact same skills is like that. Where you got it, you think you can beat me?

Even though it was a surprise, Sarnak had him try to unilaterally defeat Oulu. Even if Floro gets the same skill, she can't be stronger than Oulu because she's weaker than Oulu.

Sarnak's thoughts are reasonable and correct.

─ ─ However, that was if Floro's received skills.

"Gu!?

Sarnak, about to be slashed by Floro, suddenly hits his forehead against a column that soars off the ground, taking a few steps with his distressed voice.

"Stupid...... you scratched my body!?

And I was stunned that I was in pain.

"What have you done!?

Floro does not answer, but stares at Sarnak.

"Answer me!

Sarnak screams and sees the slaughter. But now the horizontal pillar that grew from the wall prevented that blow, and at the same time struck Sarnak his arm firmly.

"Gu, ugh...!

After all, the power of the 'Steel Shield' has been deactivated. I didn't lose my skills. There shouldn't have been such a gap, and if I turned my consciousness inside me, I could see that it did exist.

But as a matter of fact, Floro's attacks are damaging him.

Is this the power of Oul's unknown skills? Or maybe Floro's ability as a demon king.

"Don't lick me!

Sending a pillar that strikes like a spear, Sarnak pushes on to Floro, who tries to get a distance. Pillars are troublesome to not know where they come from, but not fast enough to keep them out.

"Gu... here we go... Huh!

And the damage taken from the pillars wasn't that high either. It was only in the beginning that I stopped moving in unfamiliar pain, but it's not lethal if I'm even ready.

"Eat it!

And finally, when Sarnak reached Floro's sight, he waved his blade as he twisted his neck. Columns stretch like they make shields, but they don't make it to Sarnak's sword speed. It's not like that. It captures Floro's neck.

And cut the sky.

"Huh!?

Floro, who didn't make it slight earlier, didn't send the blow. But it doesn't mean Sarnak took it off crazy either. Then why is the sword passing over Floro's head?

"... the floor!

A moment later, Sarnak realized it. His treading floor itself is coming up. I didn't know it could produce columns as well as a wide range of floor surfaces.

"Ouch...!

More columns rise from the ceiling floor so as to disturb Sarnak, who tries to jump reflectively. In the meantime, the ceiling was more and more pressing to crush Sarnak.

The hurried Sarnak finds one place, a place with few columns to get in the way of, trying to jump in there...

Suddenly, I stopped the movement.

A low noise echoes, stopping the floor that rises. That meant Sarnak was completely sandwiched and crushed between the ceiling and the floor. Floro opens his eyes to the result.

"C"

Because Sarnak was crushed to death despite having a way out ready...... not.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" You mean...!

Because Floro knew he was safe.

"It's a boring trick. I didn't know my" steel shield "had that weakness!

It is neither the effect of Oul's unknown skills, nor the ability of the Demon King, that the pillars inflicted pain on him with the 'Shield of Steel'.

"The Shield of Steel" cannot protect itself from its own power. That's because of capacity constraints. Sarnak has never tried it before, such as attacking himself.

But if you think about it, it's natural. Deactivate every force, you won't even be able to walk. You need to kick the floor with your own legs and get the power to push your body right.

If you think about it that way, Sarnak felt the pain for a simple and ridiculous reason. I just bumped out of myself on a flying pillar.

If I only realized that, there was nowhere else to panic, even if I was about to be crushed. I can't crush him. Eventually, when the ceiling touched his body, the movement had to stop.

"Well... that's as far as evil goes"

If you even know that Floro doesn't have the means to harm Sarnak after all, you don't have to panic. We're just talking about slowly hunting him down and killing him.

"... I didn't think you were coming down"

Poop, and squeal, Floro.

"Ha! There's no way you can get caught up in this look-alike gap"

Only one empty spot as the ceiling approached. Probably even planted something like a blade there. If Sarnak jumps and penetrates himself, the blade can hurt him.

But deliberately showing gaps and inducing action is the norm in battle. Sarnak, who has survived numerous battles so far, intuitively spotted it.

"Yes. Well. Sure, that's a trap..."

Floro's voice like confusion. At the same time, I thought Sarnak was odd.

floor (...) and (...) heaven (...) well (...) to (...) former (...) back to (...) et al. (...) of (...).

"I didn't think you'd catch me from me."

"Heh... to...?

Every skill has an effect time.

The majority of them disappear in a moment or few seconds, like 'swordsmanship' or 'appraisal', but I hear some of them have minutes or hours. But in any case, its effects will eventually be lost. And usually, that time is inversely proportional to the intensity and scale of the potency.

Not to mention the kind of skill that creates something similar to "Mother's Wall," which can't possibly last that long. Sarnak, who stood to think it would go back to normal in a few seconds, but there was no sign that the floor or pillars would disappear at all.

"Sarnak. The magic I used... is hard to believe, but not the skill to produce columns and floorboards. Skill to deform and move the 'Mother's Wall' …"

"... what?

It took Sarnak a few seconds to grasp Floro's words.

"The Mother's Wall" is an absolute thing for those who live in the land, with no room for doubt. Destruction cannot even be scratched by any method. Not to mention my skills in manipulating it, which I never even thought about.

"You didn't think it was weird? Generating floorboards doesn't lift you."

Sarnak's "Shield of Steel" nullifies any force from the outside. Then naturally you can't lift it. But in fact, Sarnak has been lifted so close to the ceiling.

"The other way around. I lowered everything in the room except where you were standing."

"Ba...... stupid! You can't do that!

It was a scream with a double, triple meaning.

Sarnak, who has followed many slaves, taken others' and ravaged them, cannot be called a good man in flattery. But even so, he is hesitant to harm the Mother's Wall. Even if you can't scratch one where you actually tried.

The feeling transcends good and evil. For them, the 'Mother's Wall' is the world itself, an absolute thing that exists from birth to death without any change.

I didn't want to think of it as someone who could manipulate it, and even if I could, I couldn't believe that I would actually do it, and even if I did, I didn't feel like manipulating walls on such a scale, so much.

Although. If what she says is true.

"... you say this is all 'mother wall'......!?

Countless columns surrounding Sarnak and his critical height ceiling. Floro's words showed that it just couldn't disappear after time or even destroy.

"Huh? Do I have to tell you that? … Wow, I get it"

Floro groans alone somewhere bewildered and looks to Sarnak.

"Exactly. You, from the beginning…"

Ong, and make a noise and the gap between the columns is filled with another column.

"In my stomach."

That word of Floro. Finally, all the sounds were blocked. It means it's completely sealed.

"Mother's Wall" doesn't mean that she can't see anything because of the light itself, but it turns out that there's no way out of it at all.

"Gu, uhh... Huh!

Hairy upside down disgust, resistance pushed to kill, Sarnak waves his sword. But it couldn't even scratch a muscle on the wall, and instead, the blade was missing.

"Hey...... wait. Stupid... is that happening?

I can't get out. The fact began to twitch into Sarnak's heart. As if I had understood it, the walls would approach him even more.

"Wait... don't! No!"

Understanding precisely the fate of waiting ahead, Sarnak blued.

His "Steel Shield" is invincible. No attack goes through. So no matter how looming the ceilings and walls, I don't have to worry about him being squashed.

But at the same time, there is no way to stop the impending wall.

If you hold down the wall, the movement in that part does stop. But the walls change shape as if they were soft clay, and only the parts that Sarnak hasn't held down are looming.

"Wait, wait, wait...! You're lying!? No way, that's...!

The imminent wall will not be broken and will not crush Sarnak.

It just fills everything but where he exists.

The wall that fills perfectly to its shape, no matter how you move your body, is as if it takes the shape of an exquisite Sarnak. Finally, he was so filled with his surroundings that he couldn't move one finger.

"The Steel Shield" was of no use in this setting now. Even if every attack doesn't work, I'm hungry. No, I'll dry to death before then... or maybe I'll die faster with my breath clogged.

"Get it out! Get it out of here!

No matter how much he screamed, his voice just echoed in a narrow cavity, and on the contrary, Sarnak tied his mouth all the way to prevent a wall that was going to break into his mouth.

I'm in the wall.

Just that. Sarnak finally realized that he had been ruined.
