Yomigaeri no Maou

"Sorcery...?

Lulu watched that moment, which seemed to be the last integration between Kyou and Himeros, with the temper to say that he would never miss it by increasing his perceptual abilities to the extreme.

So I could also see closely the sudden acceleration of Himeros and how Kyou seemed to have begun to chant fast in response.

Instead, otherwise Lulu and I might have missed that moment.

To the extent that I could say so, I could say that the two offenses are approaching the limits of the human race (human).

Compared to the brave men who fought once, I'd say not yet.

In the first place, it would be pathetic in itself to compare it to something like that.

Because that wasn't the level where I said something about the limits of the people (human).

Even if we choose the highest talent from a variety of races, they will not emerge unless some kind of coincidence works greatly.

In history, he had a degree of power that could be said to be the strongest, Lulu thinks.

Lulu, too, played a battle against such a thing in the first place is strange, and as an individual, it probably means that in history, no one is allowed to follow him, but he wasn't aware of that.

Anyway, from such Lulu's eyes, the battle between Himeros and Kyou looked good.

For some time from the qualifying period, I was somewhat discouraged by the power of modern martial artists and magicians, so I feel a strong excitement that I could see Shui, Uvezd, and those who said Himeros and Kyou.

What will become of fulfilling it?

The moment I thought so, suddenly the movement of Himeros, who was accelerating, became dull.

Of course Lulu was surprised, but the audience was also surprised to see Himeros, who should have disappeared instantly.

But most surprisingly, it seemed to be Himeros himself.

Its face is stained with astonishing colors, and suddenly, it breaks the balance of its body dramatically, either because it has been freed from acceleration without its own will.

The girl opposite - Kyou doesn't seem surprised at all.

Rather, it is beginning to move as it had predicted the phenomenon.

However, that speed was not so fast.

You can say that fast manoeuvre was dull as if it had been a lie earlier.

This means that both Himeros and Kyou are no longer different in their speed.

But there was a huge difference between being able to figure out what was happening on the spot.

Kyou seems to understand clearly, but Himeros has only taken a moment to grasp it.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

For Himeros, the time to that was felt long.

No, it was actually a long time.

Usually, deal fully with its physical abilities through magic, and defeat the enemy in a short time.

Even when you are defeated, you have never tasted the moment of your defeat for so long, because it is normal for beings with just the same skill to be the other person.

But this day was different.

The thrust of the fine sword I unleashed suddenly became a slow motion, and the person who was rightly capturing it in its black eyes - Kyou, half-hearted and slowly avoided.

Himeros perceives the matter and tries to pull the fine sword back instantly, but does not move as his body thinks.

Then I try to change the orbit of the finer sword slightly, to slash, but I can't do that either.

Why.

What we should normally be able to do was not possible for Himeros at that moment.

This is crazy.

Indeed, even though something solid is floating in my head, only my body can move slightly without receiving that directive, as if it were being followed even by a dull weight.

Is this because you missed your workout?

No, I must have done everything I could in advance of the martial arts competition.

At least, there was no such thing as missed workouts.

Yes, the question comes next whether to renew your certainty while remembering yourself over the past few days, then why?

If you were serious about your workouts, you couldn't possibly think that your body wouldn't follow you this far.

And yet that impossible thing is happening to me now.

What do you say to this, Himelos?

I ran through my head when such a question crept around.

But no matter how much you think, you don't get an answer.

Nothing. Nothing.

I never neglected as one.

I can't think of a cause for anything.

With that in mind, Kyou's appearance gradually looms.

Avoiding Himelos' fine sword, she steps into Himelos' pocket with the momentum she has as it is.

It was never a fast move.

It was a slow move to the point that it was well done, a skilled person's move, but at least in terms of speed, I thought that even a junior adventurer who wasn't so good at physical enhancement might be able to come out.

In fact, Himeros' eyes held onto the whole thing, and it was a move that seemed inevitable without any problems.

But reality never does what Himeros thinks.

Even though I see it, and I also feel how Kyou is going to be next, only my body doesn't try to keep up with that movement.

My body always moves out one step behind Kyou.

As soon as Kyou entered his nostalgia and gently touched Himelos' abdomen, Himelos perceived what would be done and tried to pull himself back.

But until that moment when Kyou's body conveyed rotation from underfoot, maximizing it at hand and adding the palm bottom, Himeros' body did not move with a tingle.

"... guhhh!

I felt my throat darken in front of me as I heard it making such a pitiful noise.

They set the palm bottom on the abdomen beautifully.

Without being able to shed any of its power anywhere, I cannot describe it as eaten.

Naturally, anyone could tell you that would happen.

And you can see the puppy still on Kyou's head,

- Oh, you couldn't let me use one trump card after all?

Thoughtlessly thinking about it, Himelos' consciousness sank far into the bottom of darkness.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Winner, Kyou!

When such a voice resonated in the arena, it could be said that the cheer rolled up was quite odd compared to that before.

Because the way this game was settled seemed rather different and strange than it had ever been.

While the audience praises Kyou, they stick a strange look on her face as if they don't understand why the hell she won.

But that's another thing I can't help.

I saw it from the audience because it was too much of a tabernacle.

Neither Himeros nor Kyou would have liked to say that they would have fought in the end in an occasionally slow move and that even the junior adventurers would have more speed than they had won so far, Himeros lost the game.

Until then, the game ended with a soggy palm bottom, although it did show a tremendously high speed movement and the shock commensurate with it was rocking the arena.

The audience didn't understand how the hell to rate this game.

But the more powerful he was, the more clearly he realized the horror of this game.

One of those powerful men was the grand of the family (Klan) "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)".

He groans as he frowns at the humis next door.

"Hey, have you seen that... what is that? It's disgusting..."

I guess Yumis also understood what Gran was saying.

He nodded and returned the words with a face that did not fall to his heart.

"... from what I've seen, it looks like Himeros'... no, those two body strengthening magic have been cursed. That too, suddenly.... No, I could see Kyou saying something just before... Could that be the reason?

Yumis was also firmly focused to observe this game as well as Lulu.

Because Himeros was a good friend of hers and he wanted to see the game.

Gran seemed to be able to clearly capture the moment because he had good eyes.

Nod at Yumis' words and talk about his own reflections.

"I guess so. But how? That kind of magic doesn't exist. Physical enhancement - especially by magic circulation - should be able to be re-hung by the activator immediately, even if it is released in some way. Yet it didn't even look like that to Himeros... I mean, I couldn't do that. Normally, it should have been unconsciously possible, but I couldn't. So I panicked - that's what happened."

In modern magic, it was assumed that physical strengthening magic could not be completely eliminated.

It is naturally possible to scratch out enchantments that are activated outside the body - for example, by offsetting fireball enchantments.

It can be disarmed by magic that is practiced in the body or by a method that is commensurate with it.

However, I can't help but say that I will completely solve the configurations of physical enhancement magic.

That's because physical enhancement magic is a magic that is continually applied, and even if it can be disarmed for a moment, it is a magic that can be restored in the next moment.

Maybe if it's Lulu or Illis, maybe it's possible.

With his technique as an ancient demonic tribe, he is a master of witchcraft that has even ruled the Junction of Yumis, so it is not surprising that he had the means to continuously disarm special configurations of witchcraft like physical strengthening witchcraft.

But Kyou shouldn't be at least an ancient demon.

Because if that's the case, Lulu and Illis will know she is.

If so, it means that people are wearing ancient demonic sorcery.

Is that possible?

She inherits the technology of a legendary race that is said to have perished thousands of years ago?

It's a hard story to think about in Russia.

Yumis, who thought so, decided once to give up discussing it, exhaled and said.

"... I don't know. Anyway, be careful with that kid. It may be comparable to Lulu or Illis in some cases......"

"Comparable to them, huh?... This tournament is outrageous. I was wondering if Kyou would do a little bit of it because he also competed in the main race, but it wasn't like he was anywhere near..."

Gran pounded his forehead and sighed loudly.

But the struggle is burning in its eyes.

I'm enjoying this situation, where there are many other strong people in my mind.

That's what Yumis says, smiling.

"We might not even make it to the finals... you saw the tournament table, right?

Gran nods and answers the slightly unusual story.

"Oh, I saw it... I'm with Lulu in the semifinals. You..."

"With Iris. Honestly, you're someone I don't want to fight more than anyone else. It's not about love, it's just about strength."

That's what I say, the two of us laugh at each other.

These two have fought Lulu and Illis several times.

Of course, it's not a fussy story about killing each other, it's that there were occasional light matches when we went to the village of Cadiz.

However, we still don't know how strong Lulu and Iris actually are, without really bumping into each other at that time.

In previous games, I also saw some sorcery and martial arts in the village that showed me.

And with an experience cultivated conjecture that it wasn't their bottom, the two of them understood.

That's why I was looking forward to this tournament.

How far can we draw their strength, that was the purpose of the two of us.

Of course, I don't want you to even show off the technology that would be a lifeline when it comes to things, and naturally, that wouldn't be the case with the other adventurers, but that's what I think about the pieces that I want to bring out for the real thing.

To this end, the Lulu and Illis Match Table has been manipulated to some extent with the connections and power of the Extraordinary Adventurers, resulting in them hitting each other many times with powerful enemies.

That said, Gran and Yumis are not very different to the situation.

It manipulates to a certain extent on the side of the operation so that superior adventurers do not collide with less of an underprivileged adventurer.

This is a consideration that tried to make the fighting tournament a little more interesting as an interest, but of course it's not much praised, so it's basically top secret.

However, Lulu and Iris are pretty sharp, so maybe they understand and shut up.

And both Gran and Yumis understood that adding such an operation had not revealed even one end of their prowess in the end.

The only reason I've ever shown it to you is because it hasn't changed anything from what you've shown me in the village.

So I thought.

After all, we must be the only ones who make them serious.

To that end, I tried to get out of the way where I should be able to, and try to make an effort.

"Totally... Looking forward to it"

"Yeah. Really."

That's what they say. They laugh at each other.

They both understood, however, that in that smile the fierce beastly fighting spirit was rolling to boil.
