The World’s Strongest Martial Artist who has Worked too Hard, Survives in the Magic World With Ease

The morning of the fifth day after visiting the mountains.

We spent the night in a deserted fort on our way to Dracula to be apprenticed to a new master.

Must have been built as a garrison for the Magic Knights when The Dark Emperor (Dark Road) was active.

The Kingdom of Grune is the only country that wasn't attacked by The Dark Emperor, but that's a theory of results. We didn't know when we were going to be attacked at the time, so we built a fort to prepare for the demon king's raid.

"Wake up, both of you. It's time to go."

Speaking to Mr. Noir and Nemia, who sleep in a blurry bed, they immediately woke up.

I was tired of walking and cramped yesterday, but it looks like we both recovered from hissing and resting in bed.

"Whoa! Today is the day to defeat the demons!

Nemia barking towards the morning sun. He's nagging because he wants to defeat the demon.

Ever since I stepped into this forest, I've met so many demons that I can't count with both hands, but I've defeated them all.

Anyway, Nemia doesn't have any real experience. I was about to be attacked by a demon in the gap between bringing it and drawing the rune.

But it's not like Nemia won't see you grow. Having met so many demons, I am gaining the courage.

At this pace, we should be able to calm down and fight demons soon!

"Wait, demon! I'm going to take him down now!

Nemia was not depressed because she knew she was growing too.

Then we finished breakfast and we left the fort behind.

Leaving the fort, Nemia just runs her magic on the map.

Blue and red dots were displayed on the map that could not be counted with both hands. Which is more red dots.

"If it's a red dot, it's nearby...... should I only knock out a blue dot?

"Right. It's better to fight red dots after you've gained experience."

Blue dots mean 'creatures of your own size', and red dots mean 'creatures of your own character'.

We can't let Nemia, who has no real experience in combat, fight the demons of character.

"I see. I understand! Nearest... you're about two hours away on foot! Are you heading that way?

"Right. Dracula, let's go that way."

"I can't wait. If you're a cool demon, you can brag to your friends when you defeat them!

Take Nemia with her groovy footsteps and walk down a mountain path with bad scaffolding.

"But it's around here..."

Reaching near the blue dot, Nemia looks around with vigilant eyes. Trees thrive around, and I don't see any demons in the feel of a puff.

"Ash, Ash. There's something over there."

Together we were searching for demons, and Mr. Noir pointed to the tree branches.

About five meters up, my skull was hanging.

"Did the skull of the Rainbow Emperor (Rainbow Road) you binta fly all the way to this country?

"I shattered the moment I touched it, and I don't suppose that's it. Evidence... Look, you've got bat-like wings on your skull, right?

"Really. Is that an emergency escape wing?

"I didn't just grow wings and let my head slip away right before my binta burst."

In Mr. Noir, the image of 'Geeks = Demon King' seems to be ingrained, but that's not a demon king or anything.

"It's a demon called a headbat."

"What kind of monster is that?

"Quick story, it's a bat with a head poke. You better not move poorly because you have the habit of hitting something that moves."

As I was told, Mr. Noir stops moving like a calf.

"Is that who the blue dot is?

Nemia looks up carefully at the headbutt hanging from the branches of the tree.

"That's right, Nemia's stronger. The head of the headbutt is enough to put a crack in the rock at best."

"Normally, I'm gonna die."

Mr. Noir pokes at me softly.

"Is there a crack in the rock...... I think I'm going to lose in a head-to-head battle."

"You're not a militant, so you can fight with magic. Besides, the only way to attack the headbutts is to punch them in the head. You can take them down by attacking the gap you're looking at."

Headbutts attack what moves. He doesn't seem to notice us, and if we preempt, it's easy to take him down.

If you let him get away with it, it'll be a hassle, but Nemia's strength should be enough to take him down in one blow.

That's why I told him.

"Nemia's going to take down that headbat."

"Yes, at last......! Ugh, I'm nervous."

"Well, just in case something doesn't happen, I'm here."

"With Lord Ash, it's a hundred manpower! I'll be strong enough not to lose to Lord Ash, too! To do so, you first defeat the headbutt!

Nemia stared at the headbutt with a determined eye and drew a rune with a magic wand (Withers Rod).

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Nemia wraps up the wind. The leaves of the tree, which had fallen flashing, were shattered before they touched Nemia.

Magic for both offenses - Windshield.

Using windshields in anticipation of a head punch is a tactic of war, but I missed my chance of a preemptive attack because of it.

The sudden wind caused the headbutt to notice.

When the headbutt leaves the branch, it flies away.

"Oh, that? Why are you running away? Windshield will be wasted because of this."

"I didn't run away. Headbutts are monsters who spend time in the herd. And I was just scouting for bait."

Nemia turns pale as she sensed something.

"... I hear something."

I heard the trees snap and break when I should. The sound is getting closer and closer. Jumping lightly to make sure, the sight was as wide as I thought.

"What did you see?

"A bunch of headbutts are pushing at me as I knock down a tree. About 500."

Nemia blues more and more. Guru pulls my clothes and shakes his head in every thousand cuts.

"I can't, I can't, I can't! That's right, you can't prevent 500 bodies! Windshield's magic will run out! Then what happens to me?!?

"If you're irresistible, your headbutt will suck your blood and dry you out. The headbutt is a blood-sucking demon, stabbing his fangs with head-pushing momentum. That's how sucking blood makes your bones harder."

"I'm so smart again."

"It is a study! Just take a note... not if you're studying relaxed!

Nemia is in a panic state.

"Mr. Noir, protect Nemia with an ice wall"

"Okay."

Shortly after Mr. Noir completes the rune, the two are surrounded by ice walls. Among the transparent ice walls, Nemia was looking cold.

As I watched Mr. Noir put his jacket on Nemia, a herd of headbutts pushed over.

"Ooh! Over here!"

I jump repeatedly to protect the ice wall. At this moment, I am the most confident person in the world. For a headbat after something that moves, there's got to be no more targets than me.

As I thought, one headbat after another.

Bullshit! - Pavan!!

Bullshit! - Pavan!!

Bullshit! - Papa, Papa, Papa, Papa, Papa, Papa!!

I'll pay off the headbutts coming from all directions with my hands. Each time the headbutt is shattered and scattered...

That sounds familiar somewhere.

"Ah!"

This, that!

That's the rupture I heard in the longest cave in the world!

It was so dark then that I didn't know who the demon was and I was so dizzy...... well, who was the headbutt!

I've been doing this for a long time.

The mystery's solved. It's so refreshing!

"... is it over?"

The herd of headbutts shattered. Mr. Noir and his men came out of the ice wall just after he had paid off the white powder on his body.

"Are you a fighter?!?

"Well, my body is sturdy. And I shot them all off with my fists."

"With fists!? I didn't see it at all...... So, but didn't you hurt your fist?

"Bullshit. My pain's paralyzed."

"I'm more worried about that one!?

Looks like you've made me worry.

"Anyway, I'm fine. The headbutts are gone, and now you can train without worries."

"What? But the demon is gone...?

"Headbutts aren't blue dots. The demon that was originally meant to be defeated is there."

I pointed forward.

Among the many trees defeated by the head-butt onslaught, there is one tree nestled gently. I'm not disappointed compared to other trees, but it's weird that only one is safe.

That should be it, too.

Whatever it is...

"That tree is a monster called Walking Wood."

Nemia is hazy.

"If you're walking wood, you know it! I've used it before!

Walking wood firewood is combustible and long-lasting. When I lived in The Devil's Forest with Grandpa Maurice, I often went to a nearby town to sell it.

He only bought me rich because it's expensive firewood... but Mr. Tronko is so lame that he has his own airship. It's not strange that her grandson, Nemia, uses walkwood firewood.

"But it's a demon that strangles and nourishes approaching creatures with branches, isn't it?

"Right. Not even trying to get a head-butt thrust means it's as sturdy as a rock."

"Is it a rock...... If we attack with all our might, we might be able to figure it out."

Nemia looks lost.

If the wizard attacks with all his might, he'll run out of magic. Normal wizards faint when their magic runs out... it's like saying 'eat' to a demon to lose his mind in a forest like this.

But that's a story if you fight alone.

"Me and Mr. Noir are with us, so don't worry, we'll do everything we can."

"Ya, I'll try!

When Nemia set up her magic wand as she had decided, she drew a rune of kamaitachi.

Spavan!!

The walking wood turns into two pieces. At the same time, Nemia fluttered down.

Hold Nemia, we're approaching the wreckage of Walkwood. I have eyes on the bumpy surface, and it looks like it was walking wood after all.

"-! What happened to the demon?!?

About ten minutes later, Nemia woke up. Look at the walking wood, which is in two pieces, and spread a grin on his face.

"Ko, this, I knocked you down!?

"That's right! Congratulations!"

"Span, that's out."

Blessed by me and Mr. Noir, Nemia weeps in her eyes. He was so happy to cry.

"I'm impressed! It is to be brought back to commemoration! With floating magic, it's a little bit of a little bit!

"That won't get you on the train, and why don't you just take some of it home? I'll process it for you."

"Whoa! Is it true! Then leave it to Lord Ash!

As Nemia watches as she gets excited, I cut the walking wood with my knife and turn it into a bar. When you finish rubbing with your hands and clinging to the surface, give Nemia the finished wooden knife.

"Whoa! It's cool! This is a lifetime of memories!

Nemia gestures with a wooden knife with joy.

I've successfully defeated the demon, and now Nemia will be able to complete her training without any memories.

And when it comes to doing things in the Grune Kingdom, it's just my training!

I've improved the quality of my magic with the world tree, and if it works, I might be able to grow enough to use Windshield!

Don't be too cool to shatter the leaves of a tree with wind wrapped around your body! Just imagine yourself wrapped around a windshield and I can't stop being excited!

That's how we excitedly walked down the mountain road to Dracula.
