"... I see? It's true that magic doesn't work."

Iris squeals so toward the girl in front of him as he ascertains his hand.

The girl comes step by step closer to Iris.

The look was laughing.

Then slowly open your mouth, the girl says.

"Sounds like you, all sorts of knowledgeable, didn't even know about the exact effects of this sword...?

"Effect, is it?

"Oh. That's what I'm going to teach you to be a souvenir of the underworld. This sword will continue to wipe out the magic that exists around it. And the magic in the body of the subject touched by the blade is inhibited from producing it, and consequently the magic becomes unusable for a while... that's exactly what's happening to your body."

"Ha ha... but you seem fine with the grasp of it?

"That would be the problem if I stopped magic just because I had the pattern. I make it like it's okay there. You know what I mean when I think about it normally?

"Maybe that's what they say... I mean, that was so unusual by then, I guess..."

Iris listens to the girl and whines to herself at such volume that she can't reach the blur and its ears.

The girl, who could not hear what she had said, leaned her neck toward Illis,

"Ah? What...?

Even as I tried to ask, for some reason I developed goosebumps at the instantaneous sense of crisis that I felt on my skin, retreating greatly from the spot.

Then, at that moment, the explosion sounds, and the earth and dust dance violently on the spot whether the ground has been groping.

I didn't know what had happened, but the girl thought it would be dangerous if I didn't.

And as it turned out, the decision was right.

When the girl, who has dropped so much, sees where she has been standing, there stands Illis with her fist stuck to the ground.

It is clear that there has been smoke and smoke and that it has attacked with its power.

Obviously, that was an unlikely sight from a girl.

Because Illis is supposed to be wiped out of its magic by the girl's sword.

There's no way that such a luxurious girl could create that kind of destructive power without the aid of any amount of magic.

The girl thought that the power of Illis was great for the human race (human), and that was because she was a so-called mutant being with ancient (elf) coarse powers of magic.

Such beings are more often born into people (human beings) than other races, not so strange a story.

But even so, the magic of the Illis must have been temporarily lost.

More than that, there's no way I can have that kind of phenomenon.

Yet, if we look at the phenomenon taking place in front of us, the facts are obvious.

The girl couldn't understand what was going on.

What I found out was that the luxurious daughter in front of me was just too dangerous.

And even with this sword, which is supposed to be my trump card, it wasn't like I could easily pick up a victory.

"Damn...... what the hell. You!"

With evil, the girl jumps back, then again, sets up her sword.

But I can tell at the next moment that I should have even thrown away such time to try.

When I realized it, I had the beautiful eyes of Illis staring straight into the girl's face in front of me,

"I'm just an adventurer, though?

He was waving his fist up as he said.

"Huh...!?

I move my body to turn my sword in surprise, but I can't make it no matter how.

As a result, Iris' fist was to be protruded into the stomach of a thoughtless girl.

It is terribly stupid.

The girl was tough on pain.

I have had a number of experiences where I have been exposed to unreasonable and irrational violence, and when I think about it, it doesn't mean that I lose consciousness or reason with so much pain.

So the moment I was attacked, I could calculate how powerful it was and how much damage was done to my own body.

What I found out as a result was that the power of the attack on Britain was no different from the blow it had received at the beginning, as if there was no such thing as the fact that the magic had been lost, etc.

"You're lying...?

The girl whines as she is blown away.

Not that I could afford it, but I still couldn't help but say so.

Above all, the scary thing is that I couldn't feel any magic moves on Iris's body while keeping all that offense in place.

In other words, that is not a magical attack in the first place.

That's what I mean when it's just the physical abilities of the vegetables.

Ridiculous conclusion to have at all, but I can only assume so.

That's what changed the perception that it's a monster that doesn't seem like a human race (human), in a different way than earlier.

I couldn't help but think that it was a problem in every sense to admit that it was a species of person (human).

Even as she was blown away, she twisted her body in the air and fell diagonally toward the ground, so the girl managed to stop by decreasing its momentum even as she slipped off and down the ground after landing.

We'll fight back from here...

Looking for the location of Iris with that in mind, but that was where the attempt turned out to have been futile.

"Good luck..."

Iris, who shook up his fist, was in front of him.

At the next moment, a huge shock hit his head and the girl's consciousness disappeared.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Oh man..."

Before the fallen gray-haired girl, Iris exhaled deeply.

Because there was no problem with defeating it per se, but I don't think it was surprisingly dangerous.

Because it goes without saying that after Illis was cut by the girl's sword, the magic was no longer felt as good as it normally was.

In fact, I didn't use magic for the last blow.

However, still, it is also true that there is a great separation between the girl and Illis, and there was a verse in which this girl was not weak in the first place, but rather economical to fight for using some power between coming here.

Perhaps it was this girl who unleashed a sacrificial sorcery on such a scale that Lulu had to deal with herself.

Even if the resulting drain was severe, I can nod.

Well, no matter how overrated I was, I would only have had a degree of strength that would not extend to the superior in this state.

However, given that sword, I'm pretty sure she was still a dangerous girl.

Even a single blow can wipe out the opponent's magic by itself, a threat that has passed horribly for modern warriors, mainly those with battle skills based on magic.

If you do not have some means of confrontation, you will immediately pack it into the opponent who has this sword.

It's just that this time it was okay because the other guy was Illis.

Because Iris knew the sword the girl had.

A weapon once held by a brave man, called the "Holy Sword".

It is an abominable weapon to the Demon Nation, which cut down Lulslia-Nord, the Demon King, and annihilated his existence.

If Ilis had been slashed with the "holy sword" that the brave man had at that time, he would have even been in danger of extinction of existence instead of losing to the girl, even if it was just a ravage wound.

But......

"…" Degraded Holy Sword (AZ Helev) "? It's something I've missed again."

Iris knew of its existence.

The real "holy sword" is the only thing the brave man had.

At the time, there were various propaganda complaints about the unmatched swords that God gave and only fit in the hands of the chosen, all frown-spitting, that sword that didn't seem entirely true, but it was terribly destructive against the Demons as a real issue, and it certainly only looked exactly like the Holy Sword from the point of view of the people (humans).

But there weren't so many swords.

There are ten or twenty of them, and if mass production were possible again, the fate of the ancient demons would have been extinct at that point.

But that didn't happen.

I don't know why, but it just seems true that wherever a brave man got his "holy sword" from, it's not like he could create so many, and in a long war, two of the same things never showed up.

provided that

Even though the Church could not make a "holy sword," it had succeeded in creating something similar to it.

Degraded Sacred Sword (AZ Helev), somewhat less durable than the real "Sacred Sword" and somewhat less powerful and of the nature that any person can hold in its hands.

And the Church, and hence the People (Humans), called it the "Impersonated Sacred Sword (Zaif Gladius)," and gave it to the chosen elite among the People (Humans), that is, the Holy Knight, etc.

I mean, in those days, there were not many people (human beings) with this, and Illis had fought it several times.

And victorious in all of them.

"Degraded Sacred Sword (AZ Helev)" I mean, it was definitely only a weapon to that extent, a powerful weapon, but that's also why it wasn't that horrible.

However, the circumstances will be different for the modern man.

Ancient Demons have mighty magic and physical abilities.

You won't lose your magic completely as much as you were hurt by the "Degraded Sacred Sword (AZ Helev)," and even if you do, you can fight other races with bare hands and no problems.

But people (human beings) can't do that any more, it's something they can't do without some countermeasure.

"It sounds like you should take this back and talk to the Adventurers' Union (Alliance), etc."

That's what Iris says, roughly touching the sword the girl holds.

Even if you know it won't go away if you touch it, the frightening thing is frightening.

It is also, in a sense, a trauma stimulating weapon in the United Kingdom.

Without even the real (...) of this, Lulu would not have died......

Ilis slowly touches the pattern of the degraded Holy Sword (AZ HEREV).

"... Oh, my God, there doesn't seem to be any. Still the same thing as the old one...... does that mean the one from the time was stored somewhere"

Thousands of years have passed for everything.

Most of the weapons of the time and so on should be broken, but there are also examples of relics of the past that are normally present in modern times, such as the ruins of the ancient demons.

It's not strange if it was there somewhere.

But it is nevertheless a well found one.

As much as I honestly admire the girl who found something like this.

Of course it's not about forgiveness.

And once again, Iris also tried to touch the blade part of the sword.

It was an action that was releasing magic to cover the palms,

"It's a little tingly..."

I can see that the magic I put out is indeed fogged every time I touch it.

Iris didn't know exactly how it worked, but it's called the Holy Sword.

There is no doubt that the Church possessed and used such technology to create more than the same effect on the sacramental temper unleashed by the Virgin.

I know once and for all that modern churches, or religions, have many different teachings than they used to, and because they are not united, there is now no organization with the kind of technology that makes the Holy Sword.

However, when I saw this, I felt like I might not be able to say so either.

At least, because there is more to it than just one deteriorating holy sword (az Helev) exists, and I cannot say that there is nothing else to analyze and mimic it.

Instead of making the equivalent of a magic conductor machine from scratch, we also know that even modern technology is possible if it is as good as imitating it.

Then it was natural that we should also assume that this would come out elsewhere again.

"It feels like a pile of problems..."

Whimpering, Iris starts pouring magic into his earrings.

They're out of magic. It may not lead to Lulu anymore, but it will lead to Zoe.

Zoe is chasing shadows that leap into the woods too, so I was going to advise you not to have the same thing there.

I feel magic coming through my earrings, and then I hear voices.

"... Iris? What's wrong with you?

"Yeah... that's..."
