The Branded Female Fencer

Alphilis sighed and asked Pandora further questions.

"Well, I don't know if I'll live up to expectations. Besides, I'm a mercenary, so I wouldn't work if I didn't like the reward. Do you understand that?

"Absolutely. Well, I'll explain my bargain abilities first. Whatever I say, I am exceptionally old among relics. The amount of information stuck in my brain isn't half as good, but that one is corrupt or I can't remember. It's similar to human memory, but it can be repaired by something, so maybe we can tell you the facts of the gods."

"Uh, don't expect me to wait."

A careless response is a heartfelt sentiment from Alphilis. Alphilis is not so much a dreamer as I would expect anything less. But Pandora keeps explaining her abilities.

"One more thing. I can hold things almost indefinitely. We can't put organisms in, but it's possible if they're other than organisms. If the organism is dead, it can handle things."

"! That's a... pretty useful ability."

Alphilis immediately figured out how to utilize Pandora. Even if you think you have bare hands, for example, it is possible to take out weapons if even Pandora can be worn somewhere. And unlimited. Depending on how it is used, it is also possible to flip the war situation. Alphilis was shuddering in his heart.

In front of that, Pandora is good at putting her arms together.

"Right? And then we can change the size to some extent. If it gets smaller, it can be smaller to the point of ear decoration. If it's a big deal, it's the size of a human being.

It is also possible, by the way, to read the potential of the owner and draw on that power. You're the one who did it to Aeruare's lady. "

"Heh. Can I do that, too?

"You know what I'm saying. You can't, or it doesn't make sense. All I can do is pull the maximum of that human's original abilities. I wouldn't imagine a normal person strengthening their physical abilities with witchcraft and getting used to their senses that way. I'm not gonna be able to read until I get a magic ride, am I?

You understand that fighting is an extremely dangerous act in the first place, right? Bottoming up the body's original abilities is very much the same act as messing with the body to create a synthetic beast - the Demon King. You must be feeling the modulation of your body. I can't measure what your original abilities were anymore. "

"If you know that much, it's real."

Alphilis was aware of his own changes. Shortly after I started training with the shadows, I could clearly follow Yao's body with my eyes. I was wondering if that was all I was used to the speed, but the strength of my body obviously changed. Once I hit him unintentionally, I took Yao's blow to the steeple, but I barely felt itchy. I thought training with shadows was a mental, sensory bottom-up, but I can't explain eating a beast man's blow into a steep field and not being so painful.

Alphilis had noticed that the original flesh had begun to degenerate at some point. Is this a by-product of moving while witching yourself, or is it another effect? I've never heard that some sorcery enhances physical abilities, but it has a lasting effect.

Alphilis asked Pandora about this.

"Conditions like mine, is there a precedent?

"There isn't. But honestly, it's not 'fortified', it's close to 'contamination'. You'll be stronger if you keep going, but your life expectancy will shrink."

"I thought it would be an effective way to grow."

"Organisms, not just humans, cannot be strengthened in a way that deviates from a defined composition. If there's an exception, there's only such things as property possession, equipment weapons, or transformation into something other than yourself."

"What are my characteristics?

"I don't know. I have no convenient ability to understand the characteristics of others. I said it earlier, so I have more or less all of the features now. You may remember something from now on."

Pandora opened her hands and showed them, even though she said she had finished everything that needed to be said. Apparently, he's waiting for an answer from Alphilis.

That's where the shadow asked the question.

"I also have a question for you. Why did you come all the way to the Unified Martial Arts Games? Weren't we here because we needed help?

"Exactly. Actually, one thing about Remegate is coincidence. Levantine is what this is all about."

"Levantine? Shake it and it will cause enough flames to burn the mountains?

Pandora waved her finger and denied it.

"Chi, chi, chi. If it's just a flaming sword, do I care? If Lemegate is the key to unsealing the ruins correctly, Levantine is the sword to destroy them. It is a sword to destroy the ruins if they are judged to run wild and cause harm to the world. I mean, it's the only sword that can break me that can't even use any kind of magic to burn a trace.

As long as Levantine is present, it is possible to defeat both Tutetsu, the keeper of the ruins of the prairie, and Calevan, the keeper of the Ramfort Great Forest. I hope so. "

"... keeper of the ruins of the prairie... what?

Pandora blocks her mouth with her hands when she sees the alphilis that made her expression look harsh.

"Um, shouldn't I have said this?

"Don't ask me. By the way, I don't know anything about the ruins of the prairie, either, do I? Who's Tutez?

"... shall I ask you more about that story? Pandora."

Seeing Alphilis' expression grinning, Pandora realized she had thrown up information she shouldn't have said. I remember being told, "Box of Disasters," etc., but once I told someone, "Isn't that street name called the Box of Disasters because you have a light mouth, not because you have a disaster in you? You should be careful when you talk too much," he recalled.
