For Ruino, battle was like 'part of life'.

If you live in a forest where vicious demons travel, that alone sharpens your senses and leads to physical enhancement. A strong person is something that has no 'fear' emotions - that's what Ruino has thought and continues to live a way that throws that emotion away.

Even 'fear of death', which everyone fears, was overcome, and Ruino chose to take the path as Shura.

Therefore, I do not feel the fear of fine dust in the sight standing in front of me either.

Blood that keeps flowing bright red. It splashes, it becomes like a blade and it releases to its surroundings.

"Swordsmen" Zenas Lardey - His way of fighting dyeing his own body with blood would be fearful if ordinary people just saw it.

Ruino, who has no such feelings, looks at Zenas and distorts his mouth.

"That's a nice look on your face. I want to kill you, I don't want to kill you... that's what I'm talking about."

"Naturally, yes. Ruino Tomra... I'll kill you alone."

"Hiccup, nice! That kind of killing is important. But why me?

"You killed my friend."

"Friends? Who are you talking about?

"Rowell, it is!

Wave your sword as Zenas seeps his anger into his expression. It is released from the red sword stained with blood - the 'Blade of Blood'.

A blade flies beneath Ruino in the shape of a three-day moon. Ruino flips his body and flips it.

When tonnes touched the ground with a toenail tip, he instantly stuffed the distance from Zenas.

"What's Lowell... who is it?

"You!

The swords of Ruino and Zenas meet.

Blood splashed from the blade wet with constant blood became a small blade, blushing Ruino's skin and choosing meat.

But if it's an attack of that magnitude, Ruino won't be frightened.

"Hi-hi, I'm sorry. I remember you! You were strong inside, your friend."

"Of course."

"Even the swordsmen have a friendship or something. So, are you after me?

"Yes... only you, I'll kill you"

"'Just you,' hey. Pfft, even now, you've killed a lot of them, haven't you? There are plenty of people who want to kill you, aren't there?

"... what, I want to say"

"Hit, 'There's a Reaper on the battlefield' - that's all."

Ruino plays the sword of Zenas and takes a slight distance.

But I immediately kicked the ground and packed the distance.

The sword of Ruino and the sword of Zenas meet again.

Whenever Zenas waves his sword, the splashing blood crystallizes, blades and scatters around him.

If you look at it, a pattern appears on Zenas' body, with a gleam of magic. I guess I'm engraving a surgical formula in my body so that I can use blood as a weapon.

The opposing Ruino does not use technology that includes such magic. pure swordsmanship and just use magic to encourage physical strengthening.

Ruino's body is also gradually dyed red.

equal to not for Ruino, such as pain to such an extent as to plunder the skin.

Wield a sword and aim for a moment to ensure that Zenas is stopped.

Surprisingly, there's no gap.

But it wasn't that easy.

Zenas' swordsmanship cannot be described as excellent in flattery, but rather among the swordsmen, it can also be regarded as low level. From Ruino, I'd say Rowell Kruester, who fought before, was a much higher level of swordsmanship.

Still, Zenas doesn't have a gap.

At a distance, he releases a blade of blood with excellent range.

If we slash each other nearby, there will be repeated attacks like 'sharpening' a little bit like now... this is only because Ruino hasn't shown any gaps either.

Zenas is also glimpsing Ruino's gap in the midst of a slash.

We also know that all the blows we fire at each other are life-targeting, but only towing.

For once, Ruino takes a distance. Sooner Zenas switched to a big move.

A wide range of blades of blood stretches and looms even at a distance of a dozen meters.

Ruino ran against it, trying to give in.

Zenas' sweeping blade has a blind spot.

Not a thin sword, but a blade shaped like an elephant of the Three Suns and Moons. - It's beneath that, for Zenas, it's a dead end.

Ruino instantly packs the distance from Zenas while in a low position.

I guess Zenas noticed right away, too. I was trying to stop waving the blade, but there's no way I can stop it right away.

"Get it!

It sounds spanky and dry.

I had intended to aim for Zenas' neck, but he was squeezed at the critical.

But instead I get the 'arm' that was holding the sword.

Slash off from around your arms and Luino and Zenas cross.

Ruino flipped quickly.

I dropped my sword-grabbing arm - then I can take my neck off if I go on offense right away.

I thought so reflexively, but what Ruino looked back at was - the appearance of Zenas connected with an arm cut off by blood.

――

"As much as I dropped my arm, are you going to win?

Xenas turns the blood into a blade, waving more blood connected arms.

The range increases further and Ruino, who has just changed his posture, reacts slightly slowly.

Shoulder-changing blow - plus a splashy blade of blood strikes Ruino.

In a quick move, Ruino took a distance from Zenas.

"... This may be the first time I've fought properly, but it's quite a hassle, hiccup to"

With that said, Ruino grins. The Swordsmen - natural, but powerful - are gathered together. Among them, even more Zenas, with its great purpose of 'revenge', had the strength to be a clear enemy for Ruino.

That's why - Ruino laughs.

"What, laugh?

"Hit it, you'll laugh if you enjoy it. Aren't you swordsmen?

"I don't laugh when I fight"

Zenas denies Ruino's words.

Blood-connected arms go straight back under Zulu and Zenas - back to normal. The fact that 'slashed' can be seen by looking at the skin.

If you look closely, Zenas has cuts all over his body.

"Fighting strong enemies is something to enjoy, isn't it?

"No. The fight, it's work. Nothing fun."

"Huh, really?

"Yes, it is. What I laugh at is killing you, after that."

Gently, Zenas stares at Ruino.

Ruino set up his sword with an unchanging smile - and looked to the girl who was coming.

"... you don't seem to enjoy it either. Iris Reinfel"

"- Yeah. My sword is meant to protect people. But I don't hate fighting."

When Ruino asked, the girl - that's what Illis answered.

Zenas also sends his gaze to Iris.

Make a noise with Paris and thunder runs around the body of Illis.

"Ruino... I know you and the Knights are in a cooperative relationship. On this occasion, you and I should work together to fight, and I know that. But I can't even look at you after Dr. Schweitz... So from here on out - let me make it my personal battle. I'll stop you."

He grabbed the sword with the purple body and said it with a serious look on his face.
