212 So I'm just to fight.

It seems that Lord Ecdysium's trick was unsuccessful, but thanks to it, I was able to check the moves of the two bastards. The woman named Morari could adjust the distance between them with her instantaneous transference magic, though she was limited to a short distance and only herself. The man named Yastet is a martial artist who can deploy wards all over his body and use them for both offense and defense.

What should we do, Mixu?

"As your friend predicted, those two seem to be quite skilled. Lakra-dono, you and Exoik-dono will take the men. I'll deal with the women after I've reduced their numbers!

Seraes' men who missed the first attack are already preparing for the next one. I can't fight them satisfactorily until I've neutralized them first. If it were possible, I would have kept it for stronger enemies. ...... Let's prioritize making it easier for everyone to act here. I'm not sure what to do with it.

I'm not sure what you mean.

The eight Ilonashi you released hit the bodies of all eight of them. This is the first time I've ever seen such a weapon. All of them are coated with a paralyzing poison that prevents the user from standing up for several hours if it stings. It could be used against the Morari, but if we believe your friend's guess, it may not work. The next step is to throw two weed sticks at the feet of those on either side of you who are motionless and ready to unleash their magic, and activate the explosion spell. This time, you can see the knives, and even if you have time to react, it will be difficult to avoid the explosion at your feet.

Lord Harkdock and Lord Masetta, go to Ceraes!

Osa!

Through the smoke screen of the explosion, I could see that they were safe. You've stopped the attack and set the wards. You strengthen the magic in both legs and jump to the right side in a low posture. Ignoring those who are warding you, you slash at one of the opponents behind the wards with your close combat knife, Embu.

"Agh!

Behind you! You're behind me!

The one who had set up the wards recognized my figure and prepared to unleash his magic. But the spell is broken in the construction phase. I've released the magic seal stone knife "Fuzi" so that it will fall on the wards as we pass each other. I'll take the opportunity to throw a simple knife called "Ugachi," which is designed for throwing, into your lap. Before the smoke clears, even the visible Ugachi will be slow to react.

That's eleven, and that's twelve!

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it.

What?

It hit him, and as I suspected, he had released his warding and switched to magical sniping when the other person was attacked in the back. When the smoke cleared, I saw that the three people I had killed in the meantime had been rendered immobile by the poison.

Nearly half of them at once. ......! Watch out, she's good at fighting!

I know her when I see her! I know her when I see her! ...... Wait, you're not telling me this is an eradication...

I'm sorry, but I don't really like that name. I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me that.

I'm not a fan of that name, so I hope you won't call me that. I can't help but follow the knife with my eyes to see if there's anything in it that isn't aimed at me. When the man's gaze wavered, he activated the magic in his Tetsuyose. The knives scattered around the area, except for the Ilonashi, are drawn in the direction of the man.

"Agh!

This "tetsuyose" has a magic that produces a magical power that has the property of attracting a certain ore within a certain range, and most of the knives have that ore embedded in the tip. Most of the knives have the ore embedded in the tip. Bags and clothes are custom-made to be immune to the magic, so only knives other than the one you have, that is, used knives, will be attracted.

Hmm. That's enough to reduce the number. I'll go for the real thing.

I turn my gaze toward Morari. Morari must have been observing my movements, because our gazes met.

"The knifeman. You want to play with me. I'm gonna kill you.

You're not very talkative, are you? Why don't you speak more politely?

You don't say that. You're talking funny.

No, I don't think it's that weird. He holds up his emblem and watches his movements. In the background, Lord Harkdock and his men seem to have engaged Ceraes' men. I guess I can focus on the task at hand. Let's see what you've got!

Let's go.

Morari is running straight towards you, knife at the ready. The reason why she doesn't use transference magic is because she's already seen my surprise attack using transference magic, which is a one-hit kill. The fact that I'm trying to deal with him suggests that ...... is thinking of some sort of countermeasure.

I accepted Morari's knife and we exchanged a few slashes. It seems that you are familiar with fighting with knives. However, in a pure comparison of strength, I am superior.

"d*mn you, you fool!

"He's from Tarz.

Oh, so you're the Mix. You're the one who destroyed the Geshuva bandits.

Well, that's an old name. Do I know you?

No, just the guys I was gonna kill. Saves me the trouble.

Since the name of the bandit group that used to operate in the Quama region is mentioned, Morari must be from Quama. The knife handling is also my own style, but it is mixed with some of the common patterns of the Quama region, which is convenient.

If you don't want to make a move, I'll go for you!

As soon as Morari's attack is launched, he throws Ugachi with his free hand using only the strength of his wrist. I'm sure you can avoid it, given your strength. .......

I've been waiting for that.

Morari disappeared from sight just as Ugachi hit him. I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I knew you would.

I felt the killing intent from above and quickly caught it. "I knew you were coming.

"Aah!

The knife was caught, but the kick was thrown as a surprise attack from above. That's a good one. My head is spinning.

Your head's spinning. "You've got a neat way of fighting. Do you think I'd fall for that?

I don't think there's anything clever about setting a trap.

It looks like you were trying to prevent me from getting close again by throwing the Demon Stone behind you. That's sweet.

Oh, so they knew.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: ....... You can be sure that your friend's guess is correct.

I've heard that transference magic can only be done by correctly adjusting the coordinates of the destination. If the bastard's talent allows him to use it, it's highly likely that his superior talent is his ability to grasp space.

I'm not going to lie, I'm surprised that he can recognize a small magic seal stone lying in the blind spot behind me. But if that's the case, even if you anticipate the transition and shoot a knife into the blind spot, it will be detected before it flies.

"You're such an annoying b*tc*, you can't even handle being kicked.

I was taught that if you let your emotions get in the way of a fight, you're not half the man you should be.

Morari's fighting style is simple: she shifts in time with your moves and attacks from a blind spot. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

Like Neil Ryates, I don't want you to get angry at me for something I don't remember. Well, I'll take advantage of your disgust.

That's a terrible thing to say. Is that how you'd like to be treated by Lytial?

Die.

In an instant, Morari appears in front of me, ready to plunge a knife into my eye. I catch it with my Embu and throw my Ugachi. But by that moment, Morari is already out of sight. He's behind you!

I've got him.

"What?

He grabbed the stab that was coming from behind with his free hand and stopped it. He lets go of the Embu and grabs Morari's outstretched elbow.

The knife technique seems to be my own, but the way you aim for the vital point is similar to what I see in Quama. It's good that you're aggressive enough to counterattack immediately, but if you know where the attack is coming from, you can use your body techniques.

You can't stop a blade with your hand!

You can't stop a blade with your hand. It's only natural for them to have custom-made gloves that are stab-proof. It's a good idea to keep your hands clean and dry.

He tightened his grip and crushed Morari's elbow at once. You'll never be able to control a knife with this arm.

"Ah, gah! ...... this guy!

"You should be thankful he didn't rip you off. Honestly, a very important person was hurt because of you. I'm not the only one who feels this way.

He put his strength into his other hand and bent the blade of the knife in his hand. If your friend hadn't been injured, it would have been his neck, not his elbow, that he was grabbing. He threw away the knife, which had already left Morari's hand, and slammed his fist into Morari's abdomen. Morari let out an inarticulate scream and collapsed in a heap.

The first one, the other one is ......

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Just as Parshero and Gillista were the most dangerous adventurers in Liod, Mixu was the most dangerous in Morgana.

"Well, let's take care of the rest ourselves!

It's not like you can just jump into the fray. You don't want to jump in unawares!

No problem!

I'll be careful if they're all like Rakura. I'll run away. But I've already figured out the extent of their surroundings with my detection magic. The only ones to watch out for here are the two bastards and Ceraes. I rush towards one of them and shift my center of gravity to the right just as he aims and uses his magic.

"You--

He switches direction to the opposite side just as the opponent is about to fire a deviation shot. This feint is enough for those who aren't used to fighting. The magic is shot in the opposite direction, and I jump into his pocket without incident and hit him with a whirlwind club. Then I grab the guy who's about to fall unconscious and give him a shot!

What?

You can't shoot him down with magic. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. You'll be able to get a lot more than that.

"Oh, you're going to play it with wards? I'm not sure what to do.

Standing in front of the deployed wards, I laugh lightly as I look at the unconscious man at my feet. To put up a ward means to build a wall. In other words, just like my attacks can't reach you, his magic can't reach me either. There are two actions you can take in this case. You can either break the wards and shoot, or you can maintain the wards and let your friends attack. If you want to let them shoot, just hit them from above the wards, but you don't want to consume too much magic.

You!

Oh, yeah, that's brave. Come on.

He chose to attack with magic. I'm sure you've got a lot of experience in this area. He kicks up the guy lying at his feet and puts him out in front of you.

What?

"Well, it's a good thing that the clergymen aren't stingy. They are merciless to the bad guys, but kind to their own people.

Get underneath the kicker and hit him with a whirlwind club. You'll be able to get a lot more out of it. If you're not careful, you'll be able to get away with it if you're up against Miss or Wolfe. Masetta had also joined the fight, and was in a position where she could see Serraes' face.

That's a hell of a way to fight .......

Tell me you're used to fighting. Hey, Serraes. Watching from behind a small fish? If you don't wield the power of the Archbishop now, when will you?

You!

...... Yeah, right. I think I'm going to need it to get through this.

Oh, you're getting on my nerves! You and Mixu took out half of the mooks, but there's still half of them left. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. If Ceraes has to fight, the small fry who can't coordinate can only watch and wait. In effect, the small fry are now taken care of. Well, even if we defeat Ceraes with this, we still need to have enough energy to defeat the remaining small fry.

"Serraes, how could you do this to me?" ......

"Masetha-Nochis. What do I know? It's for the good of the world.

He's fighting for the people. Even if he's working with the Demon Lord, he's doing it for a more peaceful and conflict-free world.

He is a disciple of Ucka. He only talks about the beauty of the surface of the water and does not think about the mud and stones that settle behind it. What is the meaning of the world of man created by relying on those who have committed great sins and are no longer even human? Peace in the world of man must be maintained by the hands of man.

"But--

Ah, excuse me, can we talk about this later?

This is getting long, so I'll interrupt. I don't have time to talk long if I have to secure a bastard.

You, .......

"Masetta, where are you standing? Serraes is already a force to be reckoned with. The time for verbal communication is long past. Or are you so good at preaching that you can convert Ceraes? I'll leave it to you.

"...... Yes. Now was the time to fight. Master Ceraes, despite the circumstances, I'm going to stop you now.

Then let me resist. That's the path I'll show you.

Well, well. It's okay to fight, but there's a lot of bad guys when it comes to archbishops. They're all monsters who can take down a unique class of demons single-handedly. I've realized that they're even more dangerous than a holy knight, ever since I probed them with detection magic. This man has a lot of experience in battle. But he doesn't have superhuman physical abilities like Miss, he's more of a fight with magic like Lakra. We need to figure out how to take advantage of him first.
