The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

(That's right. Alec also said he was looking for artificial soldiers...)

At that time, I forgot about the book, so I didn't pin it, but even when I think about the timing, the “artificial soldier” that Cyrus and Alec are referring to must be the same thing. The artificial soldier exists in front of him, hoping for the resurrection of the country called 'Leitor', which was in the novel, and calls Cyrus' Your Excellency '.

We can't just ignore this connection.

(Could Mr. Cyrus be -?)

As we try to realize the possibility that there is Ruth, Cyrus unleashes the sorcery he was accumulating.

The sharp, pointy ice spear hit zero without even a tornado-like wind. But Zero never stops moving. I don't know if Ruth and the others are in sight, but they were definitely coming this way.

"Shit, at least if I had a weapon, I could do something about it... Ah"

Cyrus' gaze is directed at Orha, who is falling back on Ruth's hips.

"Well, did you have that hand? Ruth, lend me Orha."

"Eh, I have a desire to lend it to you... Orha is not normally available. It has to be me."

Orha has a contract. I can't handle it properly without transferring it by magic, as Alec did to Ruth the first time. Daniel tried to use it, but the material became like rubber, and it was no longer a tool to fight.

"I know. So temporarily change your rights. All right, Ruth?

"Oh, can you do that? Oh, that's good! Go ahead!"

I didn't know how to change my rights, but when I looked into Cyrus' serious eyes, Ruth nodded immediately. Not if I'm returning my doubts now. You can do that later.

Ruth gave Cyrus an Orha.

"You heard me, Orihalcon. Permission granted by main contractor Ruth Blau."

[Main Contractor Ruth Blau Permission, Confirmation]

It sounds similar to mechanical audio from Orha, which did not respond at all until earlier.

When Cyrus was able to help, a small demonic formation appeared on Orha's surface.

"'Primary change of contractor. From Ruth Blau to Cyrus Drovandi'"

[- Roger. Primary contractor Cyrus Drovandi, memory]

As soon as the demonic squares appeared on Orha's surface glowed, the knife's body began to grow.

(Became a sword……)

The entire length is as large as Ruth's height, and the width is wider than his palms - Orha became a sword the size Ruth had never seen before. Every corner of the black body is filled with muscle, and the red magma-like light shines from behind it.

Orha didn't leave her original shape anymore. The only part I can tell is the decorations bracketed in red strings.

(I can't really change my primary contract...... and Mr. Cyrus knows that)

Orihalcon that it was excavated from the ruins. That Cyrus knows how to use it.

"Oh, that? Mr. Cyrus, your arm?

"Hmm?"

When we first met Zero, one arm of Cyrus, who had been dropped, had been undone at some point. The scar I used to wear also remains intact.

"Yeah, maybe it's because I connected to this Orihalcon core. It healed on its own...... stay back, Ruth. Huh!"

Nor does Cyrus seem to care about the regeneration of his arms, and in Ruth he moves when he grabs the sword with one hand, which seems to be difficult to carry with both hands. Running to fly, he slapped that sword toward zero.

When the sword of zero and the sword of Cyrus collide, intense light and shock waves spread. When Cyrus pressed, the sword with zero crooked so that it melted with heat.

"Cool."

Zero releases sorcery with one hand away from the sword. Cyrus, who prevented it with his sword, stepped back behind him. The face smiles slightly.

(Can you do this?!?

Cyrus didn't seem to have the means to attack zero until just now, but by using Orha, he's reciprocal - no, he's able to handle more than that.

Cyrus rushes again and hits the sword with Zero. Now, you couldn't avoid a machete, or the knight's helmet to his torso cracks into him and collapses.

Part of his helmet fell to the ground and Zero's face dew.

(I knew......... isn't zero human)

What emerged from the black armor was a doll with white skin. Although there are eye and nose indentations, the eyeballs are thin purple glass balls with lines in the mouth. I don't even have hair. I don't think the voice is a person either. - Similar to what Alec said about artificial soldiers.

(So, what the hell is Mr. Cyrus?

When Zero's glass eyes turned to Cyrus, he saw a purple sphere moving around his body, gathered in both hands.

"Boulders, my lord. Even our most powerful artificial soldiers don't give in. Leitor's strongest weapon."

"I didn't want to have to be able to do that……………"

Cyrus snorted uncomfortably.

When he put the sword that Zero had in front of him, he could see that his body had two purple spheres, just like Zero. The two spheres move around the surface of the sword, as do the spheres in his body.

"If your Lordship doesn't want to use Soray, I'll follow Disnaff's will, too."

A black body with zero ran a purple light. When the light turned to flashing, I could see the trees around me trembling to their intensity.

"The glow of that sword. You have another core... the body that was buried in that dirt was a disnaff after all. You're the one who did it."

"Even if he no will, there was. Even if you want to help your Excellency, it's severely degraded... at least, I've given you the core. Disnaff has become my sword (sword). The same goes for the rest of the soldiers... because they all wanted to be in your power, put their hopes in me, and accepted the role of" S "

"I didn't say do that."

"Naturally su. We are soldiers even His Excellency (Hake). The strongest No-Force to move, even if commanded to."

A similar muscle of light enters the sword of Zero as Cyrus. The color is purple. It's the same color as a sphere moving in his body and sword.

"……… Ruth, stand back far from Yabe."

"Doh, how long?

"Just run away!

At the same time as telling Ruth, Cyrus began to run towards zero.

Ruth also rushes out, although he didn't intend to get any closer. I heard a fierce bump from behind and looked back unexpectedly.

"Hey, what is that!?

I saw countless black needles pop out of the zero sword. Cyrus truncated it and headed to the zero body, but the popped needle rushed in a radial fashion as it was, with some flying to Ruth.

"Wow! and!"

Ruth avoids the black needle that shatters the trees and advances with holes in the ground, on the verge. Because the speed is so high in the number of things that aren't so fast, you must be skewered and killed if you distract yourself at all.

"Hey, end of story!? of, climb!

Ruth desperately climbs the rocky wall that ran away. Listening to the sound of holes drilling around her, she slipped up to the cliff hoping not to hit her, while laying low on the spot, sneaking a peek at where she had been earlier.

"Wow..."

Where Ruth was not long ago, the trees were knocked down and there were holes everywhere on the ground. I can see that the impact of the battle, which is greater than the village square, would not have been 'damaged the house if the place hadn't been moved' if it had been intact.

While Ruth was checking the situation, the battle between the two continued.

Cyrus' sword strikes zero, but it seems to be slightly faster over there, sparing him a direct hit. Not only would Zero escape, but he was deforming the shape of the sword and ambushing it from above, on the ground, behind and in all directions.

The two moved too fast for Ruth, and he was full of eyes to follow. More than anything, the movement is too special, and it takes time for the brain to understand.

(That's not a sword fight...)

Alec, who was incomprehensible to Ruth, also naturally treated the sword as a “sword”. But not the two of them. Even though he has a sword, he fights completely differently.

The Zero Sword is causing an irregular moving needle to pop out of its body and Cyrus is causing part of its body to pop out like viscosity, building a shield ahead of it, and launching an attack from its opponent. Neither is what you can do with a normal sword.

There were other ways of fighting that were unthinkable in the common sense of the sword, such as flying something like a bullet, the tip of the sword deforming and grabbing the opponent, or following him and ambushing him like a snake. Above all, I can't believe how unnecessarily we both deserve that.

(Orha really means you can move like this... I just didn't know)

Even when Ruth had it, Orha was imitating things he couldn't do with a regular knife, but he didn't know he was free to change shape so far. I'm also convinced Cyrus was surprised to see Orha. This is more of a weapon than a weapon. Young people in small villages perform too well to have it.

(Ah, Mr. Cyrus, here's your chance!

A wave of swords flown by Cyrus hit Zero's leg directly and the bottom flew out of his knee. Zero, who lost his leg, rolls to the ground with his sword. I saw a spark from the cut leg.

"Ya did?

Ruth was slightly pleased that he made Zero inactive. Zero, who should have lost his leg, lowered behind every sword with his arm strength. Place the sword as it is under the cut leg and the zero and sword will shine in the same color.

"Let me do it!

Hurry up and Cyrus flies and sticks his sword where Zero was. But he was already gone from the spot.

(eh, legs...... played?

Zero just off Cyrus. Yes. The body had legs that should have been severed and lost again. From the part of the leg where the black armor was crushed, the white exterior of the peel was visible, and the movement seemed fine.

"Damn! Huh!"

Cyrus strikes again.

Cyrus outweighs Cyrus and does zero damage. The first black armor Zero had put together had already all disappeared.

But while Cyrus was showing a gradual exhaustion, Zero had no tiredness. The damage inflicted by Cyrus at the corner is healed from the edge. Cyrus seems to be recovering somewhat, but his fine wounds have not healed.

(What the hell is going on?

Thanks to Orha, Cyrus' offense increased, but given the toughness of his opponent, Ruth realized he might be disadvantaged as it is now.

"- Ah!"

When Ruth was feeling anxious, Cyrus dropped Zero's neck. He smashed his head to pieces and tried to chop the torso as it was.

- But the torso of Zero, who lost his head, emerged a black needle from his sword and wrapped his body around it. The appearance of Zero is covered in the membrane of a black needle, making it invisible. Its shape resembled that of a sea creature/eel that had been in its previous life.

Cyrus strikes the sword at it in a hurry, but it makes a hard noise and gets bounced off. It was the same no matter how many times I did it.

"Damn."

The tongue-piercing Cyrus came near Ruth after magically dropping that black mass into a hole and covering the soil.

"Duh, what's going on? What about zero?"

"To regenerate his head, he stiffened his defenses. I can't be as quick as my hands and feet. I've buried it because I'm angry, but it doesn't make sense."

"Play head!? Can you do that?

Normally it is common sense for any strong enemy to be unable to move if he drops his head and destroys it. But the Zeros say artificial soldiers are different.

"They're very special. It allows the nucleating part to travel through the body so that whatever place is destroyed during the battle can be regenerated… unless you aim it by accident, it's impossible to do it with a single blow. So if we're gonna take him down, we're gonna have to smash his whole body like we're gonna lose our escape."

It seems harder to defeat Zero than I thought.

"Is it impossible to break that shape?

"…… I can't even open it if I give it my full strength…… If I get set up the moment I open it, this one will hurt… More importantly, Ruth, do you have any food?

"What, food?

I thought you were kidding me about talking about food at a time like this, but Cyrus' expression was serious.

If you look closely, he has a blue face and wrinkles between his brows. She also looked ill.

"Whatever, if possible something nutritious………"

"Ah! I have this."

What Ruth took out of his pocket was dried meat. When we had dinner this morning, Marianne said, "I'll give it to you because I can't eat it all." Colt resented him. Because he seemed to see it, he carried it with him without eating it on the spot, but he didn't think he would use it here.

"Thank you."

Cyrus stranded the dried meat that was in Ruth's pocket in the peel, without worrying about it.

The rugged expression soothed slightly and her complexion improved. Maybe he was in pretty bad shape. When Cyrus sat on the spot, he drank water out of his hand using magic.

"Thanks...... this body is human, energy efficiency is not good with grass and soil. The magic will run out soon."

"Are you consuming so much magic?

At first he had a series of witchcraft, but since he had Orha, little Cyrus has used witchcraft. I didn't think the magic was diminishing as much as I needed food right now. I've never known magic to recover from food in the first place, but Cyrus' body is special, so I decided not to ask around it.

"We use magic to make him a form other than the owner's basic form."

Cyrus lifted Orha gently.

"Other than the basic form...... in the first place, can Orha change shape to such freedom?

"You used to round the tip of the blade, didn't you?

"No, it is, but in Mr. Cyrus's case, the shield came out of the sword, or the tip was like a rope, right?

"…… that's what Orihalcon does well and it's performance."

"Oh, really?

"............ I see, so you were using it with no idea of his performance at all? I don't want to."

"Well......"

Ruth can only laugh bitterly when Alec, who is worried, is armed with an Epic weapon for his own safety.

Rounding the tip of the blade was somehow done on the extension line of "A Request for Orha," but today was the first day I knew it was going to be a shield.

"He is a weapon that freely deforms itself, using the magic power of the contractor. It was the primary inactivity when you had it."

Cyrus played Orha in the shape of a great sword at his fingertips.

Olha - Orihalcon says the contractor's magic will change performance in order to determine the contractor by magic. Olha didn't change shape until Ruth had it, apparently because she didn't have enough magic. The fact that he didn't move for a while after protecting Ruth also means that he changed shape only for a moment, so his magic ran out and he couldn't float or reply to a special move, or in other words, to the universe.

"I'm telling you, it's an anomaly to go around like a pet and do watches on you. Normally it doesn't work that way. Again and again, this guy is a" weapon, "a tool that doesn't usually give that many detailed orders..."

Orha, who is certainly in Cyrus' hands, doesn't move around on his own like he did when he was with Ruth. Even though Cyrus and I had a lot of fights, it now fits into that hand as if it had just become a tool. Cyrus says this is what it is.

"Probably because of your qualities and this core... where have you found such a special core"

Cyrus stares at Phantom Core hanging in Orha.
