Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

Standing in front of me was a knight in plain black armor - a man who attacked the headquarters of the Black Wolf Knights and was almost devastated, Raul Isalf.

It is the name of a man who should have been in my previous life, and who should no longer be in this world.

But from the moment we face each other, we know.

Certainly, this man is not the same as the Lacquered Knight who fought earlier.

I can't feel the vitality, but there is no doubt that Raul is strong.

"I don't know where you found my body, but you used it."

That's the only possible way.

Sword Saint -- Raul Isalf is probably dead.

Probably, I don't remember the moment I died.

But I do remember that I was dying. Later in his life, Raul Isalf was so weak that he could no longer even be satisfied with swinging his sword.

"Aena-san, Merche-san, please stand back both of you." I'm sure I'm the only one who can defeat him. "

"Alta... you..."

Aena-sama, I'll leave this place to Alta-sama.

Mercer is cooler.

Aena was also injured in a way that was never too shallow. After fighting Raul here, you know you can't win.

"... oh, I see. Alta, let me formally protest for not following my words." That's why you have to win. "

Of course, I'm not going to lose.

When I answer, Aena puts her knee on the spot.

After all, it seemed like I was trying to stand up.

"Well... Raul Isalf. You're a dead human, and all there is is the flesh - that's what it is, isn't it?"

……

Raul won't answer my question.

Just hold your sword and face me. Fighting yourself is a strange feeling.

While holding each other in a stance, the first thing launched was the blade of wind --- "Invisible".

"Hmph"

At the same time as the bumps, there is a storm in the surroundings. Although I was confident in Swordspeed, I was perfectly at odds with him... no, Raul was slightly above me.

"That's exactly what I should say." Physically, you are superior to me, who is supplemented by magic power. "

Calmly, analyzing the situation while slashing each other with magic.

Invisible won't be able to take out Raul first.

Rather, if we slash each other like this, the other side will win - the full height of the flesh is already over, but there is no limit to the movement of the corpse, Raul.

If we can't win like this, we won't have to wait and see.

Mostly, it was just the way they were slashing each other.

“You're definitely me. It doesn't feel good to be used, and that's why I should stop you."

……

I haven't heard back from Raul.

I dodge Raul's invisible releases and slash around from the side.

Raul keeps releasing the Invisible at random, without moving from the spot.

It moves fast, but it still tends to be monotonous.

"That doesn't hit me."

Close the distance and wield your sword.

Raul's swords exchanged accordingly.

But they will soon push us back. Even with his strength, Raul is superior - after all, he is [Raul Isalf] stronger than me, who is [Alta Schweiz] overall.

I can't help it, but it's the swordsmanship I've cultivated that fills the gap that can't be filled.

Let me show you the difference between Raul, who ended more than a decade ago, and me now.

"Let's go, Raul Isalf."

Once again, we close our distance, and now we slash each other from a close distance.

Neither I nor Raul have a special sword.

Or maybe with the [Silver Spirit Sword], you can fight faster.

If Raul is a corpse, it's magic that moves it. With [Silver Spirit Sword], it should be possible to suck up all the magic power that was moving Raul - but I wouldn't use it.

The [Silver Spirit Sword] is proof that I am the [Sword Saint]. If it is recognized that the opponent I am fighting is the [Sword Saint], I must win against him as the Kingdom Knight, Alta Schweiz.

The blade was exchanged several times, and the wound gradually increased on the body.

Since he is me, he will naturally have the power to kill me. [M]

But in swordsmanship, I still go up.

"Hmph"

Take a breath. As I exhaled, I dodged Raul's blow and slashed him in.

A blow to the abdomen. Raul wasn't frightened to move, but if he was a normal person, it wouldn't be strange to have a fight.

"[The Holy Sword] - Raul Isarf. It is here and now proven that you truly died."

Raul jumps away from the blow on the counter and folds his head in momentum.

Raul's neck dances through the air, but he hasn't stopped yet.

Before he could strike the next blow, he jumped his right arm with a sword from his shoulder. At the same time as I landed on the ground, I cut off my torso.

Raul fell to the ground dumbfounded and eventually stopped moving.

I lift up my wobbly neck and check my face.

It stays the same as Raul's face when he was dying, at the bottom of his memory.

Raul Isalf, the [Sword Saint] who was reported missing, was confirmed dead here.
