The Road to One Day Be the Strongest

We're all stronger.

I felt an unspeakable intimidation from Kuse, who told me so, and Baal whined as if he had said it by accident.

'What I did..., apparently the most troublesome being was this way...'

Baal intuited.

This man needs to be erased on this occasion.

He has lived for years. That's why I was too familiar with this way of intuition that I would regret later on.

That's why I fight, I sweat cold - to that nasty intuition that I can feel from this man. Anyway, that was the biggest thing I've ever lived.

(Definitely..., any power this man has on me... no, it can even reach that chaos)

If you are aware, Baal is on alert, and that attitude gradually changes into a state of war.

Kuse was wary of that, too.

'Your biggest mistake... is that you made me totally serious'

Moment after moment, Baal's figure appears behind Kuse and at the same time Hanada's body with a large shield is blown away.

"Ugh!?

"Hanada!?

Hanada is also a top notch tank.

As soon as he regains his position, he immediately storms Baal with a large shield.

"Chef! Mr. Machida, I need backup!

"Copy that!"

A chef and Kyoko set a cane on the word, each activating the magic of the water attribute.

It was a rule of thumb that Baal had only ever used the Flame attribute.

Unfortunately, I have primitive magic.

In a moment, the thunder flashes, and shortly after dealing with it, it strikes the body of your cook and Kyoko.

There was no screaming.

The two are instantly reaped consciousness by the power up to that anomaly and fall from their faces to the ground without taking a passive.

"Your cook! Mr. Machida!?

The scream of Gouri Aisa of the rear guard sounds, and at the same time Hanada's big shield and Baal's claws clash.

Kiddie-winkie!

The sound of stiff things clashing against each other echoed, and Baal murmured as he said unintentionally to the sensation.

'Hmm... you're pretty good too. From what I've seen, there's not enough offense at all, but when it comes to defense alone, you're getting to a nasty level.'

"Feedback, thanks...... hey!!

At the same time as the words, Kyosuke crouches. At the same time, it was Minotaur who emerged from behind him.

"Ubaaaaaaaaaaa!"

S-rank, the roar of Minotaur echoes, slamming the stick in its hand toward Baal.

However, the opponent still exceeds the EX rank even if he falls.

"Was Minotaur...? What if there's a Summoner Guard somewhere...?

He starts the stick back with one arm, jumping Minotaur's neck at the same time.

He turned his gaze around - eventually, to one girl.

There was a figure of Aisa Kouri standing near a book floating in the air.

Her unique skills include "Magic Library" and "Story Records (Light Nobels)".

The former has the unique skill of absorbing and using the magic once shown in the arena.

And the latter. That's the ability to summon and serve a replica of an organism at first sight.

It is a cheat ability, commonly called, that meets the conditions for activation if you look at the subject's combat once.

I did, but...

"What's wrong with that?"

Baal had found some disadvantages in his ability just because of his current exchange.

He was convinced in view of all its possibilities, from the possibility of a Summoner to the possibility of the ability to summon replicas of what he saw.

In their abilities, they cannot summon their threatening beings.

What if Grace, whom I saw earlier in that ability, or Baal himself, who is now in battle? And if we summoned Ginn, who was broadcast all over the continent, it would have been dangerous as Baal today. Definitely lose options other than escape.

Baal also wanted to avoid fighting the existence of defeating himself, earlier Grace, and even assuming Asmodeus in his current weakened state.

But...

'Its ability...... can you only summon weaker beings than yourself, or is it intense magic consumption? Well, there's also the option of being just a Summoner.'

Aisa shook her shoulders pickly at the words.

Yes, I can summon even his Gin-Crashbell if I want to do her 'record of stories'.

But if you do that, you will die in an instant without even enough magic to be consumed at the time of summons.

I know it's a waste of time with her. Because if you can summon but you can't order, it doesn't make sense.

That's why Baal, who saw her reaction, mocked - flickering at the sword he attacked shortly afterwards.

"Aisha! Give me both of you now!

Kuse turned a further sword to Baal with a knife to return, and at the same time shouted so to Aisa.

Aisa turned her gaze toward Kyoko, falling down, and rushed toward you as soon as she perceived what he was trying to say.

"I'll help, too."

Rin was the one who said that and followed him to Aisha.

She can even use Nuaza's Divine Arm (Argatram). It is only then that the power of the 'healing regeneration' of the matter can also be used.

That's why I'm sure that choice was right.

What was wrong was that - despite being utmost vigilant - I turned my back on Baal.

"I'm not going to kill you, because it's going to be a good research material."

Dossoo!

Baal jumped Kuse in an instant and ran through to Rin's side.

His fist plunged into her abdomen, unable to react properly, she bled blood out of her mouth and lay still on the ground with too much damage.

Say 'I won't kill you'. That was an obvious overkill, and though Rin has how much Gin power, he couldn't stand Baal's almost all-powerful fists today.

"Rin!?

The strongest being in the party today lay down on the ground.

It was a 'fight for all' and a devastating blow for them, both militarily and - and spiritually.

That's why 'he' swayed slightly, and Baal couldn't have missed that slight sway.

"You can't live."

Along with that voice, Kuse's consciousness dimmed.

'So I would have said. You can't win now. "

If you noticed, Kuse stood somewhere you didn't know.

Huge door in front of me (...).

Several padlocks had closed its doors, and an indescribable sense of intimidation had leaked from them.

"This is..."

The earth is stretched with deep blue water, and places farther than a certain distance, if you look around, are covered with deep mist. Kuse intuited, I guess I can't go before that.

Kuse turned her gaze to the door again.

"Hey, you. What's wrong with looking around and not just looking behind your back? I've been talking to you a few times, and you're ignoring me, and you're still ignoring me."

The voice was heard from behind.

Kuse unexpectedly opens his eyes to the voice, turning his body towards Gabba and behind him.

And... I was scared by accident.

"Wow!?

"Is that your attitude toward the first person you meet?

I don't think you're a person.

Kuse stopped trying to say that.

I still don't know if he's an enemy or an ally, but on the raven or on the corner...

(He's... you know, better than the Great Devil)

-Isn 't he stronger than that big demon?

There was a giant dragon wrapped around a blue aura.

When the dragon glances at Kuse with a kick, he opens his mouth as if he had read his mind.

"Don't compare me to the Great Devil. I am still the head of the Four Holy Beasts.... and now it's sealed by a man who doesn't even know the bones of his horse by the god of fucking creation."

Four Holy Beasts.

If you're a little bit of a knowledgeable geek, you'll understand if you listen to that word.

The red peacock, the white tiger, the black Xuanbu, and...

"Let it be, Aolong, is it...?

"You know what? Did someone like you know that? Boulder, it's me."

The dragon returned that way to Kuse's words.

Imagine from her voice, she opens her mouth slightly more upbeat than earlier when she snorts with a hunch that doesn't seem to be full.

'Well, fine. I'll meditate my eyes on what I've ignored. "

- So.

When Aolong shrugged so, he turned the air to the point earlier and looked down at Kuse with a serious look.

"Again, you can't win against that great demon now. Even though it was a good idea to join forces, if it takes one of us, it will break down as soon as possible, the way you fight."

Aolong now pointed out the hole in Kuse's way of fighting.

Fight together, not alone. Bring a somewhat stronger majority than the overwhelming one. That opinion is not a mistake.

But that's far harder than fighting alone.

"If one is missing, the upset runs. If someone kneels, their consciousness will be cut. You have to think about your people all the time. It breaks the focus. What you're doing is trying to force a difference in power and you're deluding it."

On the contrary, let's just say it's easy to fight alone in a way.

Indeed, the burden increases, and if there is no power, it is crushed to the number. But it is huge that you don't have to bear everything she has mentioned.

That's why they chose to fight alone, but...

"... I know that."

Kuse groaned so remorsefully.

Indeed, the phrase he said, 'We are all stronger together' came from the heart.

─ ─ But

"I want to be strong, too, and I want enough power to help him save my people."

─ But there isn't.

I know I have no power.

I don't have the power to save my people, I don't have the power to help my friends.

That's why I've worked so desperately to inspire myself, but that distance still doesn't shrink.

That's too spicy for Kuse, who hasn't blossomed his intellectual and spiritual talents by, for example, "The Divine Sword Silverover,"

That's so close to breaking my heart.

You can't fight alone without power - you can't be the hero we all want, portrayed in stories that are told and told.

"Do you... admire heroes?

To the words, Kuse did not open his mouth.

Silence - - Blue Dragon somehow could have guessed what it meant.

I'm sure that silence is an affirmation - above all a denial.

He admired the hero in the story. I admired the main character. I admired the protagonist as he smashed all the walls by himself.

─ But more than that, I admired one man.

Blue Dragon knew everything. Anyway, Kuse and I have been together ever since we came to this world.

That's why I dared to speak of them.

'I know, you were jealous of an excellent friend. And I admired it more than that. It's like the protagonist of a story (...) to the man. That is why I was delighted that the man regarded himself as the “protagonist” and at the same time feared and anxious. To an ordinary man like yourself, a weak man, a protagonist.'

Kuse laughed unwittingly at the line of words that were not different from one word to another.

─ ─ This guy really knows who he is.

I hate to think of it that way, but it's filled with bitter laughter.

"Ha..., stupid or you are"

I accidentally peeled at the words thrown at me.

If you turn your gaze upwards, you'll see a blue dragon looking frightened, and she opens her mouth looking bored.

'Don't admire it, have a dream. You don't catch up, you run over. If you want, you're not the man, but the strongest one ahead, weak one. That's why you're weak, you weak bastard.'

"O, don't call the weak!

Kuse was screaming if he noticed.

The blue dragon who received it said, "So, okay, it's good to be healthy," and when Kerakera laughed, she turned her gaze behind Kuse - to the big door there.

"That unique skill in addition to the power of the strongest Blue Dragon of the Four Holy Beasts. And here comes this door... The Great Devil was right about this."

That's how she shrugged and roughly examined the number of padlocks on that door.

And I gave up the act of doubting my own eyes, knowing that I would have the same result no matter how many times I counted.

(God of Creation... you have prepared a very strong vessel for this man? Besides that, it's my sealed body. That explains the large 'vessel door' rather than the usual interrogation)

She groans so heartily that she turns her gaze to Kuse.

This door is a phenomenon that occurs only if the vessel and soul are not commensurate - should we also say that this is an awakening?

The rising width of the force due to its awakening is proportional to how far apart the size of the original soul is from the size of the vessel.

That's why Blue Dragon smiles remembering that word.

"Weak... or maybe the size of a sawdust soul is small?

Kuse never noticed the meaning contained in the word.
