143 - - The 31st Episode: A Bad Work

Guguet!

Nano was poked forcefully in the dove tail with a cane and rolled on the ground.

He writhed in agony, unable to raise his voice due to the pain that spread from his abdomen.

I looked down at him and told him.

Do you have the Sword of Awe?　I know ....... Of course you've already taken precautions, so of course you've trapped them."

The little ...... f*cker!"

Nano forced himself to breathe through his mouth and stood up, using the Sword of Awe (Fear Sword) as a staff.

He was not pleased with his disrespectful attitude, and with a blue streak of anger, he regained his grip on the Fear Sword, regained his breath, and slashed at me again.

Don't get carried away, you little fry human (inferior species)!　You should either be used as materials for this genius blacksmith NANO-sama, or you should just shut up and get cut!　But what are you doing fighting back?　They're attacking me!　Stand your ground, human!

"It's you who should take a stand, NANO."

No tricks, no feints, NANO's attacks like a tantrumming child swinging a stick frantically.

Indeed, if a low-level adventurer with a weapon of inferior performance had been affected by the Fear Sword's ability to "inspire fear in the opponent," even a poor attack of this magnitude would have been dangerous.

Although Nano is around level 300 and has experience as an adventurer, his combat skills are not that high because he prioritizes his skills as a craftsman. The fact that he has been able to successfully perform a street slash is probably due in part to the Fear Sword in his hand.

But since I was trained in martial arts by May at the lowest level of "The Abyss," I am not behind in this kind of amateur swordsmanship.

Because of the difference in LV, it is easy for me to respond to every move and prevent everything with my cane without even allowing it to scrape me.

In time with Nano's big swing, I hit him hard with my gripping hand instead of my sword.

"?　The ...... sword!"

He lets go of the Sword of Awe (Fear Sword) and drops it because he wasn't expecting it.

I took advantage of the opportunity and immediately charged after him.

I close the distance between me and Nano and kick him like a ball.

Nano reacts quickly and crosses his arms to guard, but the kick is stronger than expected and he is blown away and rolls on the ground.

NANO is now a distance away from the Fear Sword, which he had dropped.

He was surprised that he could let go of it so easily with just a little poke. This is the Fear Sword you are so proud of. ......

Light!　Don't touch my legendary weapon with your filthy hands!

The sword that Nano took down is lying at my feet.

Up close, it's a really weird sword.

The blade part was reddish-black, and it looked like a person's expression of anguish was floating in and out of it. The hilt is also made of multiple human hairs, and I feel as if it might twine around my fingers if I clenched my grip on it.

Overall, there seems to be a black grudge-like thing leaking out, which accelerates my disgust.

I don't want to touch it even if you ask me to. ......

Who would want to touch such a sickening sword? The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it is in the best condition possible. So let's get this over with."

Oh, hey, wait!　What the hell are you doing?

I clutch my staff with both hands and aim it at Nano's pride and joy, the Fear Sword, which lies at my feet.

He too understood what I was going to do, and his face, which had been so red that I could see it even in the dark, now turned blue as if it were painted in its original color.

He is now blue, as if his face is painted in the primary colors.　You are about to destroy a legendary sword, a legendary sword that may be passed down endlessly to future generations!　Do you have any idea how punishing you are?

"Legendary sword?　Punishment?　Nanno is the one who doesn't seem to understand.

What do you mean?"

He breaks out in a cold sweat and asks in a voice that sounds like it is trying to convince a hostage taker.

I gave him a big smile and told him the truth.

Nanno didn't make a "legendary sword. It was a waste of human life. There is no way that such a blatantly cursed weapon will become a 'legendary weapon' and be handed down to future generations forever. Think about it. It's just a bad piece of work that shouldn't exist even for a second in this world. It's a waste of time to discuss it. It's at a level where it deserves to be quickly discarded. So..."

Stop, stop!　Stop!　Stop!　Stop it, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no!"

I lifted the cane I held in both hands.

Nano understood what was about to happen and continued to scream.

I tried to run, but it was too late.

I swung the cane down with all my might!

The reddish-black blade could not hold out and the Fear Sword shattered into pieces.

I raise the cane further and swing it down on the hilt, the large remaining blade, destroying it.

"Aaah!　

Nanno screams like a beast, tears of blood streaming from his eyes, and he rushes straight at me like a boar without a care in the world.

He does not look at me.

He just looked at the shattered Fear Sword.

There was a devilish spirit, and an ordinary person would have been intimidated by that alone - but there was no way that my feelings of vengeance, which I had been harboring for about three years, would take a backseat.

Rather, I would not run away, but rather, I myself would charge at Nano from the front.

Light-oh-oh-oh-oh--gigglyaaaah!"

As it is, he kicks Nano in the face.

The blow was counter-attacking, and even though he was holding back, a Dwarf who had not yet reached the proper level could have had his face caved in and his neck broken.

However, Nanno had not raised his level to around 300, and he did not die, though he rolled on the ground again with his eyes white, with several teeth broken.

He had not yet had enough revenge, but I wouldn't want him to die at this level," he said. I'll get NANO out of here before anyone sees us..."

No~ I'm glad you caught it safe and sound, thank goodness."

......!"

While I was relieved that I had successfully stunned and captured Nano, a third party's voice rang out.

As if springing out of the darkness, a slender young man wearing a hat (human) appeared.
