"Hey, what is that? What the fuck is that!?

The girl held down the mask and closed the hall door behind her back.

Lock it, then activate the magic of the 'lock' planted on the door. This mansion is a special place reserved for trading. Traps for intruders are ready.

"Kill you, too, as soon as someone comes in. Nice."

""... Yes ""

To the two soldiers who were caught in the great hall of the Western Hall, the masked girl, Vale, gives the order. Then, they also have the soldier's gear replaced.

The boy on the table and the aristocratic girl used strange moves. We need to consolidate our defense.

The weapon has to be stronger too. Vale commands the soldier to equip him with an axe on the wall and a shield the size of the soldier's height - the "Great Shield".

"And then... we need to prepare demons for defense as well"

Vale lines up the pot in the hallway. A total of eight. Six of them contain gold coins.

It is already known that this is the place for a 'deal'. They would expect the money to move, too. If there's a pot, it'll break or you'll want to peek. That's the human psyche.

So I set a trap.

Six of the eight pots are dummies with gold coins in them. The last two are traps.

Break it or glance inside - it's a trick for demons to jump out of it.

Finally, the girl opened the door leading to the back room before touching the door knob.

When she starts' Skill ', the ice sticks to the door knob. Trying not to touch it, the girl carefully closed the door.

This is the second trump card from the end. The duration isn't that long, but if you touch it, you can totally disable them.

"Damn... why are there such troublesome people"

"What's wrong?" Vale. "

In the deepest room of the mansion, Baron Lalambel's warrant was waiting for her.

He's got a relaxing grin without even knowing this one. I don't suppose you imagine what happened out there.

Larambel has helped with the 'Vale' job so far. I never made a mistake. That's why I feel comfortable. I'm grabbing the clothes of the male aristocrats that stunned me and pulling out the golden-eyed ones. I think I can erase all my memories here.

I'm angry at that brain weather. I'm angry because of the mysterious skills used by the blue-haired aristocrats. Vale's mask - even the psychological mask behind it - is now disabled. I can't help but want to yell at the lalambel in front of me.

The deal's off.

"... is something wrong?

"Didn't you hear me? If I say abort, abort!!

"Vale" yelled at Lalambelle.

"Also, sorry!

Larambel rushed away from the vale, as if even the burnt stone had been pressed against him.

"So, but I'm your collaborator. I don't know what happened... even if you tell me."

"From now on, I will kill those who are outside"

"Vale" threw up.

"They rejected the 'deal'. When I tried to seal my mouth, they resisted, and this soldier was defeated. I pulled them in here because of you! Lalambelle!!"

"Dear Claudia..."

"Who's Claudia!! Don't be silly!!

'Vale' exclaimed.

"Don't be with such hypocrites! I am the one who serves' that one '! He's just a hypocrite used by Claudia and other' that one '. What is" Princess of Mercy "? Let me do my dirty work... I just do good on the surface... scum."

"Hih!

Larambel nods with his head in his arms.

I don't like the way it looks, 'Vale' tramples the floor.

It is decided what needs to be done. Kill the blue-haired aristocratic girl and the mysterious boy, the little one there who doesn't know if he's a boy or a girl.

This western hall is a two-hour walk from Ilgafa. It's easy to go back in the daytime. but it's night now. I also taught that there are intruder avoidance tricks in the woods around me. Besides, they want to know who 'Vale' is. Probably, they'll come into the Western Hall.

I set a trap on the route so far.

The problem is, when they break through that one.

It's unlikely they'll make it this far unharmed, but we can't be alarmed.

This is the deepest part of the western hall reserved for the 'deal'. And because it's also an escape route.

"Is the metastatic formula still time consuming?"

The floor of the room depicts a magical formation with light. At its heart is an amulet with crystals.

It's a sacred artifact found somewhere. We can connect remote locations with the 'Transition Magic Formation'.

Up to two places can be connected; one is set in the port town of Ilgafa. but that one metastasized once. Recharging takes several hours.

"In another place...... opening the gates of metastasis is really the last. We really need to do this in an emergency..."

That's really the last trump card.

for when this hall falls and my life is in danger.

"Lalambelle"

"Ha, ha."

"Do you still have your toys?

"It moves. I'll try to move it!!

Baroness Larambel embraced the 'stone gargoyle' placed at the corner of the room.

This is a special order, too. Unlike the one I sent into Ilgafa, I have four arms. Every single one of them is grabbing a bespoke weapon. You'll be able to buy time because it's starting to work on Larambel's orders.

"You've done everything you can. And then..."

"Vale" grabbed his fist (bush) so as to confirm his skills.

At its fingertips, a grain of ice was sticking.

Let's hope we don't get a chance to use this skill.

"Nevertheless... you Claudia hypocrite. If he hadn't made a request that he want to defeat Gargoyle and gain popularity, he would have had more power..."

"But isn't that part of bluffing a powerful aristocrat?

"I know that!!

Vale screamed.

Her job is to bring a 'deal' to a nobleman who seeks power. I've succeeded with that so far.

Nobles have a lot to lose.

Territory, status, honor, greed. Besides, there is also a strong sense of confrontation with other nobles. They will gladly buy it at this value, including magic weapons and skills. That's why I've been so successful.

None of them, such as those who complained, 'stay'. Yet......

"Lalambelle!"

"Ha, ha!!

"Keep an eye on the door!! That's not how they say it. But do it!!

"Hih!!

"And shut up! If you can't hear their footsteps, it's your fault!!

─ ─ ─ ─

Larambelle holds her mouth.

"Vale" clears your ears. This western hall has a good sound.

It is old because it is a western museum that remained in an abandoned village, even though it was repaired for the 'deal'.

Even the sudden wind comes in, and the rain leaks upstairs. So I only use the ground floor for 'trading'. For that matter, I can concentrate my power.

This room is in the deepest part of the mansion. The only entrance is the door in front of you. It's a thick brick wall behind it.

"Come on, come on. Mysterious people. Because I will kill you where I wore you out!!

"Then don't hesitate to..." Strike the building. "

Dorn.

There was a big hole in the wall behind 'Vale'.

Beyond that was the intruder she was afraid of.

He was a mysterious boy and a blue-haired aristocratic girl, plus a little warrior who didn't know if he was a boy or a girl.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

─ ─ Nagi viewpoint ─

"I was told everything."

That's what I was going to say, but I stopped. That kind of joke (story) doesn't seem to make sense to anyone either.

"If you talk so loud, you'll know which room you're in..."

"Absolutely. As usual, we will fight without mercy."

Behind me, Leticia's laughing.

"Is that why my" Character Suppression (Elegant Downer) LV1 "is?

"Makes it easier to bring out the real deal...... does that mean you won't be able to stop talking?

Next to it Katras slapped his hand, like he noticed something.

"If reason comes off, the real deal leaks. I can't even keep my voice down...... so which one did you think?

I wasn't sure.

So we walked around the Western Hall and looked for a place where we could hear voices.

The rest is easy. In my "Building Strike," I smashed the wall lightly and broke it.

If the 'Vale' fit to turn, it could have broken the brick unnoticed.

After that, I should have hidden in the next room. With my Fast Analysis, I can search for someone across the wall. I know if 'Vale' and Baron LaLaLambell are in position to attack us.

I really wanted to fly a brick and let them both go down, but isn't that good enough?

Well, you don't have a choice to go in from the front to the other house that looks like you have cheat items.

"I think it's treated pretty badly. If I refuse the deal, I'll kill him."

I turned to "Vale" and Baroness Lalambelle. [M]

Leggy the Devil's Sword is already out. Both Leticia and Katras are taking a fighting stance.

In the room are 'Vale' and Baron Lalambel's Lady, and two gargoyles.

Were the gargoyles that showed up in town, after all, at these guys' fingertips?

So neither the gatekeeper nor the guard saw where Gargoyle would break in. With metastatic magic, it's easy to let them break in unnoticed.

So, the magic formation on the floor is a metastatic ceremony, and at the center of it is "sacred objects"?

"... Either way, I'm not the enemy of the Lord who leveled it up."

"I'm not that cheesy. Leggy."

"Pfft. Let me see. '

Leggy whispered in my ear as the Devil's Sword appeared.

"Soft Water Swordsmanship" became LV2 in the earlier battle.

And it looks like the level of 'Delayed Martial Arts' was up when I blew up Gargoyle in the town of Ilgafa.

Leggy was right, this one was feeling pretty cheesy. You can beat Gargoyle, but the problem is' Vale '.

I saw her use ice magic. But I don't think that's all. Something that we don't know is possible.

The easiest thing is to keep buying time and wait for reinforcements to arrive, but - they have metastatic magic.

Does the fact that he hasn't escaped yet mean that there are restrictions on his use, or is there another reason? Either way, can't I take the time?

All right. Done checking the status quo.

"What are you doing! Kill him! Lalambel!!

"I understand. Go Gargoyle!!

"Vale" points to us, and Baron Lalambel's Lady screams.

But this way first. I heard the "Vale" and the others. Measures are in place.

"Leticia!"

"Hi, I'm Leticia-Milfe. Wow!

"Forced Courtesy (Manor Gears)" once last.

I bow my head as impetuous as Leticia is going to be on the ground, I guess.

I saw it, "Vale," "Gargoyle," and Baron LaLaLambell.

Oops.

Pan.

On the back of the gargoyle in front of him, Baroness Lalambelle, who struck her head with momentum, fell.

He's completely unconscious.

Successfully powerless.

The person who is used "Manor Gears" must greet (greet) as Leticia does. Naturally, if you bow your head in a dense state, you will clash without question.

A biological Baron Lalambel Orderess can bow more quickly than a gargoyle made of stone. It was a tragedy created by that time difference.

"... Um, Mr. Nagi"

"What is it? Leticia."

"You said my skills were" normal moves "and" special moves ", right?

"Yeah."

"Is this just 'normal moves'?

"'Cause I'm just letting them say hi."

"But... what if I used this skill, for example, on an army that's dense with weapons...?

"Sa"

"Sa...... right"

"Sa..."

"" "Sa?

We tried to keep our heads together. [M]

If an enemy army in a dense state bows their heads vigorously with all their weapons…… clash against the weapons of the previous person…………….

... I'm getting scared when I think about it.

"But... I'm sorry. That's it for me..."

Leticia's sitting on the floor with Peppa.

Between breaks against Gargoyle, Leticia has used Manor Gears three times. You're going to be out of magic.

"Leticia's off and we'll do the rest."

"It is done!!

I set Leggy the Devil's Sword, and Cutlass set up a shield on each side.

The two gargoyles are still moving. Those guys surrounded the fallen Baron Lalambel warrant and looked worried, "Gaga? '" Gah!?' I'm screaming. It sounds like we're beating each other up for impersonating responsibility.

"What are you doing!? Though they must be the ones who defeated your Lord!!

"Vale" pointed to us.

"Kill them if you can move! To have 'that one' confirm these guys' bodies!!

Two gargoyles saw us, along with the sound of a stone creeping.

Well, you will.

"... Leggy, is it okay to use level two?

"How many air vibrations did the Lord have?

"Sixteen times"

'Then no problem. Try it!!

"Roger!!

I grab the Devil's Sword Leggy and step forward.

The body of "Stone Gargoyle" can be destroyed (...) if accumulated more or less than five times. It's all right.

"Cutlass, stop 'Vale'! I'll crush these guys!!

"I understand!!

From behind me rushing out, Cutlass follows me.

"Vale" is reaching for the silver amulet on the floor. Gargoyle approaches to cover her.

Measure the distance and the intermission...... and. I guess I should wave my sword around here.

"Active!" Delayed Martial Arts (Delayarts) LV2 "!! 1/2 (to the)!!"

I activated the leveled Delayed Martial Arts.

Huge demon sword Leggy devoured into the torso of the first gargoyle.

"Gugaaaaaaaa!!

The power is empty for eight shots (...). Enough. Leggy's black body ate into the torso of the gargoyle and cut it off. Gargoyle, who was separated from his upper and lower body, fell as-is. I'm blurry, but I can't move anymore.

"Lord! The hell it's coming from the left! Keep going around!!

"Thank you! My love sword!"

"That's not the best name ever." Glad to hear it, Lord!!

This way.

There's no other sword to teach you how to reach your goal, Reggie.

I shake my sword and spin my body half a turn. The other gargoyle is right in front of you. I can't afford to empty it. My swordsmanship level is even 3 if I add "Giving Swordsmanship" and "Soft Water Swordsmanship". I don't have an arm that cuts into a gargoyle. So Leggy and let me rely on my cheat skills.

"Activate!!

I scream as I wave up the Devil's Sword.

"'Delayed Martial Arts LV2'!! One half left!!

Dorn.

Leggy, the Devil's Sword, cut up to the opposite end, cleaved his groin from the right leg of the gargoyle to his shoulder.

Oh, Tong.

A gargoyle with fragmented hands and feet falls to the floor and stops moving.

"Leggy? Are you okay?

"Of course not! Because the power splits, the sword shoulders less!

Look, look, I feel fine, and Leggy the Devil's Sword's body trembled.

"Besides, I'm not relieved that this will erase the gap after your attack."

"You've been worried about me?

"Sa?

Leggy, in a demonic sword state, shook herself up like a laugh.

Earlier, you couldn't join me and Leticia and Cutlass in "Sa" and you had it in your roots...?

Anyway, the ability of Delayed Martial Arts to reach level two...

Delayed Martial Arts LV2

I can "not shake" the attack power of the sword for what I have shaken and store it.

When freed, it unleashes a blow that is multiplied by its Attack Rate. The number of times it's been emptied, and the range of attacks is expanded.

By reaching level 2, the attack can be released in two instalments.

(For example, if it is emptied 20 times, it can be used for 2 attacks (10 attacks + range of attacks))

"Bye, Cutlass. I'll stop him."

"Yes it is!!

Cutlass comes forward from behind me when I'm out of shape.

At the end of our sight, "Vale" rises. In her hands is "Amulet of Crystals" - "Sacred Objects (Artifacts)" - an item for metastatic magic.

"Too bad it's too late! The gates of the transfer have already been opened."

"Vale" looked at us and laughed.

At the same time, the magic formations written on the floor shed light.

"'The Great One. Here'"

The mouth of 'Vale' spins a spell-like word.

"'Your servant wants help. Please help us defeat our enemies!!

You used metastatic magic?

Besides, it's not to get away. I'm trying to call something. What did this guy say when he was listening? The last place to open the gates of the transfer... Are you willing to summon my best friend?

"Let it stop!

Cutlass sets up a shield and runs out.

But it's still far away. Plus, "Vale" is trying to use magic. Ice magic. Cold air creates an ice sword over his head. The number is three. We ran out of Delayed Martial Arts.

"Cutlass is left. I'm from the right!

"Yes it is!!

We split left and right. "Vale" looks around and decides to go after me. As expected. That's what I made up my mind before I entered the hall. Cutlass doesn't use his skills until the end. Makes me think I'm weak (...). That's because the trump card is in her hands.

Me and Leggy cut the road.

"It's too late. You scumbags!!

Ooooooooooooo!!

In conjunction with the cry of "Vale," the magic formation is glowing.

From there, as something with power is about to emerge...

"There's going to be a trump card ready for this to happen! You are all dead!!

"Vale" waved his arm.

"Go!" Ice Blade!! "

A few meters long ice sword is flying this way!

Well, then, this is...

"Activate!"

I level up. Launch another skill.

"" Soft Water Swordsmanship "─ LV (Level) 2!!

With the flying ice sword, I shake up Leggy the Devil's Sword!

Shiru

A black samurai wrapped three ice swords together.

Until now, all I had to do was recieve the enemy's sword. Level 1 rpm is roughly a quarter rpm or so.

But that's not all this time.

Level 2's "Soft Water Swordsmanship" is twice that - half a turn.

You can flip it 180 degrees and point the enemy's sword directly behind you.

So when you use it on a flying tool sword...

"--What, what!!?

"Vale" screamed.

Yeah. You'd be surprised. If the ice sword I unleashed, guru, and half a spin.

"Ice Sword," which was recirculated by Leggy's black blade, turned his sword tip directly behind him.

And then -- keep the momentum going, fly away.

It would be easier if I could aim and bounce back at the enemy, but that doesn't seem possible.

The sword just blurred over 'Vale' 's head. But that's enough. He had a sword in his hand and was trying to intercept Cutlass. The hand stopped. Distracted.

"The road was cleared. Cutlass! Get me Feen!!

"Or what order! Come on! He's in me..." Me (Feen) "!"

"I'm home." - Whoa!

From Cutlass's chest, a translucent girl appears.

It takes the magic of Cutlass and turns into a gray-haired girl. I'm wearing a bedtime dress because it's what I imagined when I was home.

This is our trump card.

Turn your attention to me and Leticia and sharpen your guard against Cutlass. And where Cutlass is close enough, he calls in Fern.

Leggy, Shilo, and Finn don't usually show up, but they're right. He always helps me.

By the time the enemy doesn't notice this difference in power, the battle is over.

"'Then which enemy is destroyed!

Cutlass grabs Fern's arm and throws his own split.

More breathtaking than twins, it's a combination of the same person.

Rolling around avoiding "Ice Sword," and further concentrating on Cutlass, "Vale" lagged behind in realizing Fern's presence.

Feen's fingers touch the amulet placed at the center of the magic formation.

"Activate" Immediate Sacred Relic Mastery "Artifact Ruler"!!!

Feen's voice echoed into the back room of the Western Hall.

Ooooooooooooo!!

But I still can't stop shivering on the ground.

"Orocanal-Monoyo."

Along with his voice, a black arm with a razor claw emerges from the magic formation.

"Ha! I don't know what you did, but it's over! The most powerful user demon that" he "gave me is here...!!

"I see... a demonic user demon. I've confirmed your appearance. That's enough. Finn, pause the metastasis."

"Yes, sir."

"Waga Arginoteki.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Ano-cho?

The light went out of the magic formation.

The strong arm that was about to emerge, I felt it, pulled into the magic formation.

That was all.

"Huh? Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?

"Now you're quiet."

Seating 'Vale' is surrounded by me, Katras, and Fern, who emerged with the ability of 'Balvar's Armor'.

The amulet for metastasis was ruled by Finn in "The Immediate Sacred Relic Mastery" Artifact Ruler. For once, they can resist depending on the level of the original user, but this' vale 'didn't seem to have that much power.

So, as he said, isn't this guy a royal person...?

"Now let me talk to you." Vale ""

I said.

"Your purpose. Who is behind it. And about your relationship with the royal family. You tried to kill us without question. That's about as much as I can ask you, right?
