Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~

(... about time)

Already, the only thing in the city that had a person's magic reaction was near the city's exit.

People evacuating to the exit gates of the city have arrived and there seems to be congestion there... but this situation will also be resolved in a few minutes.

In that situation...... I moved.

I pull out my sword and enter the blind spot behind Zadkirgias.

And... I slashed him to the neck of Zadkirgias, completely erasing the signs.

If Zadkirgias only possesses the same level of physical ability as a normal Demon Nation, it is a sword of instant power that can cause him to die.

- It's only a matter of hitting it.

"Slow"

Zadkirgias shrugged like that without even looking at me, activating the minimal defensive magic, off the track of the sword.

By activating defensive magic diagonally against the sword, even defensive magic that is not very high output can prevent attacks.

It's easy if you just say so... it's a technology that actually requires extremely advanced magic control capabilities when you try to do it.

Make it a success without even seeing the sword......

Zadkirgias' technology doesn't seem to be fading from rebirth.

I was hoping you might have lost a little arm.

"... alone?

Zadkirgias didn't turn toward me, which doesn't mean he's alarmed.

Rather the other way around - to pay maximum vigilance around.

Especially to other crusaders, who may be confused among the refugees.

In fact...... if it was a demonic crusade force from a previous life, it would be that at the time Zadkirgias turned around on me at the present time, a trooper who had been misled by the evacuees launched a total attack.

If I can get Zadkirgias' attention and turn him around, the other troopers can attack him from behind a relatively weak defense.

In that case, I would probably be killed first... but if the demon clan can't defeat them by decent means, using a throwaway pawn wasn't that uncommon in the past life.

"... no reinforcements coming?

Zadkirgias whines so much, but doesn't try to move a step out of his barbed position.

But it doesn't mean I didn't do anything.

By not changing his posture in any way, he maintains his best defensive stance against accidental strikes.

Meanwhile, I can't move because I've rebuilt my recieved sword.

Even in previous life times, I remember the beginning of the battle against Zadkirgias becoming these 'immobile battles'.

Rather, this quiet is the proof that moves and moves are bumping into each other.

If you attack, you will inevitably have less power to break into defenses.

In other words, launching an attack also means closing the gap.

If it's a normal fight, it won't be as problematic as a small magic gap... but if it's a battle between those who are good at technology, even that moment of gap can kill you.

Zadkirgias stands ready to dodge attacks whenever and wherever they fly from and to fight back instantly.

Let the opponent take the lead and aim for the counter.

I'm being aggressive about it.

If Zadkil Gears shows any gaps, he can magically crush the dodge and slash Zadkil Gears without time.

I'm relatively easy to attack because of the shape I took behind Zadkil Gears.

But... Zadkil Gears doesn't show me the gaps that I can put in.

If you run to the attack cheaply, you'll be crushed at the counter instantly.

Such an adhesive condition lasted nearly a minute.

"Reinforcements didn't come..."

Zadkirgias muttered so, making sure the evacuees were gone from the exit of the city.

At last, the evacuees stopped worrying about being struck by the dispersed Demonic Crusaders, so they could be alert only to me.

Then turn slowly towards me.

There's not even a gap in that movement.

"I see. I thought you were just a kid... but it seemed like a mistake. There's not much clearance."

That's what Zadkirgias looks at me for.

But that gaze is on my hands and feet, not my eyes.

Not only are you constantly alert to attacks... but if I fall ill or show a gap even for a moment, it means I can launch an immediate attack.

(... glad you left the Luriis alone)

After all, the magic power of Zadkirgias is on the same level as that of a normal demon clan.

But... we just confronted each other. Again, this guy is of different stature.

If Lurii and Alma had been nearby, they would have been killed in an instant.

Even me, if I lose my mind for a second, my neck should be flying the next moment.

Even if we keep this situation going forever, it's just going to soften our nerves.

The evacuation of the inhabitants is finally over.

Let's say we run the original operation.

Zadkirgias waited for the evacuation to end in order to eliminate the possibility of being raided by crusading troops who had been distracted by the residents.

But - Zadkirgias wasn't the only one waiting for the evacuation of the inhabitants to end.

I was waiting for the residents to finish the evacuation.

so that Illis doesn't care about his surroundings and can be fully rammed.

"Illis, do it"

"Copy that!

When I gave the instructions, Illis jumped up.

And then it plunges from the sky - waving down my thoughtful nails where Zadkirgias is.
