Star Slashing Swordsman

Seventy-Five Chapters



"... it's not bullshit"

[After shooting the shooting starbucks, the body could not support itself, and the balance was disrupted like a pinch, and it fell to the ground. The dark, dull sky that spread to my sight.

Sophia peeked into her face with words that said she was dumbfounded.

Your body barely moves when you put your strength in it.

Somehow, I'm trembling as hard as I can.

This is the result of trying to stick your neck in order to be self-satisfied.

That's why there was no explanation for the words from Sophia, and I had no choice but to accept them by laughing powerlessly.

"That's even better now."

Everyone in the village naturally knows.

Everyone knows that since I was shaking the wreckage of the [Star Slash], even if it was stupid.

That's why I'm telling you now.

"But... yeah, yeah. This is it."That's why it's interesting. "

My face broke as it was.

I dared not to do so, and I was dying.

Still, it is slow and unassuming.

It is reminded that the world is vast.

With both hands without a lot of strength, I managed to make a clenching fist, and I deepened my smile.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it."

Sense, experience, talent.

I didn't have anything with me, but I was standing up against these powerful people.

[The stellar slashing technique is amazing.] Immediately after you boast in your heart, a voice comes.

The voice of the Lord spun his words as he sandwiched between his breaths.

"Oh, I don't want to, now, I haven't changed in the past or the present...!?"You guys (,,), come on. "

Alsted Bernabas laughs.

But it wasn't funny because I was laughing, it was sarcastic, and I instantly realized that I was laughing.

After all, he is the descendant of a man who was once called "Star Slash".

If so, I am somewhat convinced by the irony.I'm sure this reckless recklessness won't go unnoticed with my admiration.

"Hey, Julius. One question, I guess."

Your body doesn't move.

Side by side, Sofia was casting healing magic, but it would still take a little more time to get up.

That's why I can't tell the state of Amusement from my eyes.Do you have fatal injuries?

Is it a disguise?

Are you just tired?

The only thing I can say for sure is the fact that Amuse is still alive.

That said, since my body doesn't move, I can't help but listen to his questions.

"How do you know... sole (,,)?"

That was the most natural question.

The point is that anyone who knows the situation to a certain extent will definitely wonder.

However, if the question is as I imagined, I don't even know the answer.

"When I heard from Oliver, I thought it was just an imitation.But if you look straight at it, you'll understand.It was a [star-slashing] technique.... where did you learn that? "

Ning, I wanted to hear it.

On the day of my eighth birthday, I remembered the life of a man who was called the Star-Slashing Swordsman in the form of a dream.

I don't know the reason, the trigger, or anything.

That's why I can't say the right answer to the question that Amuse is going to ask.

"I had a dream."

However, knowing that this is not the answer I'm looking for, I'll tell you the truth.

For one promise, I dreamt of a foolish swordsman who decided to slash the stars.

That's why it's the origin, and why I can use the "Star Slash" technique.

Nevertheless, I saw it in a dream.Somehow, Amuse mumbled to herself in front of the reason she deserved a smile.I didn't repeat the words, "Don't be ridiculous."

"... ha, ha, so much so." Is it that magic?So, is that the circuit of thought? "

On the contrary, she laughed out of her mind and continued to say things that she didn't agree with.

"Magic is his life itself."It is his darkness, a symbol of light.No one lies about their magical abilities.... ahh, no, Oliver wasn't the only one. "

Certainly, the only person who possesses the magic of the "collector" is the one who can deceive.

You're trying to soften the air.

Amses laughed, not at the power of jokes.

"But, I am blessed with magic, so I know it with my body."

I needed a sword.

A sturdy sword that can withstand the moves of a [star-slashing] man.At that time, I needed a weapon that could open the scene.

"In my case, I've been betrayed all my life."So, the magic is this way. It's a magic that's far from trust. "

The magic that manipulates people.

I understand that it is something that happened because I can't believe people anymore.

Immediately after.

"And that's why I don't trust anyone."You know, my primary purpose is not to talk to anyone. "

There was a loud explosion from somewhere far away.

"... you pulled it out, huh? Bernadette?" There was an unexpected intrusion, but I won this fight. "

At the same time that I was told that word, I suddenly remembered the memories I had seen in my dreams.

That's the memory of the man who slashed the stars.

As his childhood friend, the man who continued to be next to him--Auglen Bernabas, the living one.

He was the kind of person who would thoroughly use himself as a pawn to get the result he wanted.

For that reason, you should divide the sacrifice by how strong it is and how irrelevant it is.

That's why I realize that the explosion was the real purpose of Amusement.

"...... what's that direction?"

Did the woman who was called Bernadette, who would be a short distance away, have any idea?Until the end, I was constantly spinning words.

"That's where the Duke's Mansion is."

As a supplement, Lirea says.

That's enough. You were going to attack me while the vigilance was dispersed.

However, even though the explosion sounded, there was no real change in Lirea's expression.

"That duke was particularly disliked by the people, and I understand why you're trying to target him."Especially because he couldn't be saved by me. "

People like Amuse, they line up to say it's natural to aim for it.

In response to this, there was one laughter that was done with just a kuhi and a breath.

It was a sign of affirmation.

"... or maybe that's why you gathered a small number of wizards in advance."

"Well, well, I just found out, I can't do anything about it, so I won't deny it, but..."

Because I got a satisfactory result.

I noticed that Amuse's tone seemed to be a little softer than before.

That being said,

"... but don't do things you're not used to."I thought I could do it with it.

I was hoping that the last [Shooting Star] would do something about it.But the result was that I was screwed up first.

Considering the amount of monsters that filled my sight, I thought it was the best solution, but I still didn't think about it too much.

”Even so, don't you think it's tough to cum at the very end?”

Just before I fell on my back on the ground.

The sight I saw was that of Oliver, who partially unfolded something like a barrier to somehow shelter Amuse.

"Collector" is what I used to say, and magic jumps out one after another.

Honestly, I was half glad that I couldn't see the bottom too much, and I was half shocked to give up.

But, no matter what, I'll just slash through the blocked object.

Did the thoughts reach the heavens?

As they say, the impromptu barrier was slashed to pieces.But because it was a wall, I couldn't defeat it.

That's all.

"... hey, Amuse-san (...). If you wanted to do it, you wouldn't have been so farting as to assassinate an aristocrat."

Fight hard, I get it.

I did something about it this time, but there was a definite difference between Amuse and me.

That's why I have to tell you.

Words once spoken by a man who slashed the stars.

We can assassinate them.

I couldn't help but ask if it was possible.

But...

Huh, huh? I wonder what that was like.

You'll be bewildered.

From the tone of his voice when he answered, I think he answered like that.

That said, even though I tried to question Amuse, who was so murderous, with a bad face, I was able to beat her out of her mouth and her words came back lightly.

"... by the way, Bernadette"

"What the hell?"

You don't have to kill me, do you?

I think it's a great opportunity.

Perhaps it wasn't because of my imagination that I felt like I could keep saying those words.

However, Bernadette didn't say "yes" anyway.

"Where is it necessary to dare to kill a human who dies without doing anything?"Besides, you were originally willing to die.I'm not good enough to fulfill the wishes of the guy who scratched me around sporadically. "

Amses laughed and responded to the refusal.

"Above all, there will be a price (,,)."There's no need for me to dare. "

Quid pro quo.

The words Bernadette uttered were unfamiliar to me.

That's why, unconsciously, the voice came out saying, "Price, compensation."

"... there must be some kind of weakness in magic.It's an immutable fact. "

Amuse tells me to answer my questions.

"There are also types of weaknesses."Well, it seems that some researchers have separated the wizards themselves into "all-purpose" and "defect" types. "

———— Incidentally, Julius' magic is a [flaw type]. What a supplement.

"[Shortcomings type] is literally a magic with shortcomings.Most of the magic that has obvious weaknesses is this way.But even now, there is a magic that doesn't have any shortcomings, like my\ "mental manipulation (Imperium)\".However, instead of having no magic flaws, they all have to pay a price.I don't know much about this, though.There's not a lot of "omnipotent" magic. "

Considering the magic tendency so far, the number of mental operations that can be performed is limited.It seemed to have a weakness that had such limitations, but considering the large number of monsters spreading overhead, it was unlikely that there were such limitations even if I made a mistake.

Bernadette would have told her that she didn't have to do anything because of the price she received from that powerful magical effect.

"... Alsted"

That's why I hear you calling him.

It was Oliver's voice.

"Why did you sacrifice innocent people...!"

The tragedy of the city is visible and obvious.

Therefore, he, a pacifist at heart, could not help barking.

However, what is returned is a word that can take away the feeling of falling apart.

"That was the lowest condition."It was necessary to convey a sense of crisis in order to kill the wizard (dog) who had hired money to harden his surroundings.So I had no choice but to make some sacrifices.It was a necessary sacrifice. But look, I wasn't wrong. "

"Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu

Oliver was angry that he was about to grab her.

But if he had gotten the results he wanted, Amuse's actions would have been right for him.I still don't feel like apologizing.

"... the wizard can't create a central world, but if you listen to it, it's too messy."

"Oh, that's half a lie. Oh, speaking of which, I was wondering if you'd be able to catch an uplifting clump."

You know, it was a real act, right?Yeah, but I suppose it would be best if I told you to quarrel with the nobility.

Oh, no.

"... but I didn't even think that a child like me would interfere with my life."Oh, shit. The magic effect's really broken. "

Breathing too long, even though he would have a wound similar to a fatal wound.

I thought so, but apparently his own magic had something to do with the reason.

Mental manipulation (Imperium).

Certainly, if it was only a temporary deception, it was a magic that could be done. That's why I'm convinced.

"... anyway, there are many different kinds of magic than you think."From crap magic to nasty magic.Maybe the dream you had was also the result of somebody's magic. "

It was a possibility I had never thought of.

It's just...

"You're very kind to talk about it."Until just now, you were willing to kill me. "

I don't want to complain that I was willing to kill you.Rather, it was a problem.

That said, I can't imagine Amuse's intention to be kind to such an opponent.

"Well, that's right." After all, aristocrats like you hate them the most, and they're in trouble.I'm more of an angry opponent than I can kill, but I'm not harassed, and some kindness works. "

"... are you making a fool of yourself?"

"That's right, that's right, that's not right."After all, their natural enemies are those who don't understand their authority and those who don't understand their story in the first place.Even if you try to tell me things in an orderly way, I don't know about that. If you tell me to die, that's it. "

In short, it seems to me that I am a person who does not understand.

But I'm not going to deny it.

Because I am aware that my thoughts are broken in a way.

“That's why noble people are like you, Bernadette?”

But Amses ignores Bernadette, who said something breathless.

"Um, my eyes. If you have a firm idea, well, let's go."Besides, now that Oliver's useless, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to defeat him. "

The number of monsters spreading in the sky had been considerably reduced, and the humans of the former Knights still seemed to be dealing with them.

"In any case, I was surprised.I can't believe Oliver's protecting me.I've been doing quite a bit of resentment, but I don't know why I'm sheltering you.Thanks to you, I'm starting to feel pain.

Answer with a joking look.

But I agreed with the words.

From my point of view, there seemed to be no reason for Oliver to protect Amuse.

That's what I thought, Arrowhead.

"... I couldn't let you die without asking why you got your people involved."

"... looks like it. It's really your answer."

Everywhere, pure and straight.

I felt like I understood why Lusas and Xenor cared about Oliver.

"Sheltering for only one reason is a fool after all, you."Because of that, you've been screwed.... but, yes, if you say so, no one is as pure as you. "

At the end of the speech, I heard the sound of bloodshed.

I wonder if he spat blood out of his mouth.

The sound of bouncing water echoed.

But shortly thereafter, as if nothing had happened, he said, and Amuse juxtaposed the words.

"... it looks like time is running out." "I wonder if I'll have to do the last cleaning before I kick your ass."

And there's footsteps.

Then the roar of the monster, most of which would have been lost, resounded again.

"Every kingdom has been thwarted, so if we don't do something at the very least, we won't be able to die."

"... what are you doing?"

I'll ask.

Then, unexpectedly, Amuse answered.

"That's why it's the last cleaning."No, I can't help but notice that the dogs are flustered by a sudden explosion.Well, I'm going to kill everyone who's gathered here.

After all, Amuse's anger is on the aristocratic side.There is no lie, no falsehood.

His lowest aim would have been the annihilation of the nobility, which was called the Duke.

However, there was an obstacle to doing that.

The wizard protecting the duke was troublesome, but he must have caused such a commotion.

... not at all my in-laws, but a confused one.

"The nobles are much more troublesome than I am."I think Julius will be reminded soon if he continues this way of life. "

Can you see what I'm thinking?

Amusement laughs at the mix.

"That's why it's good advice from my ancestors."Be careful with the nobility.If you don't want to be like me, just like me. "
