729 Shards of the Magic Sword

(Hey, kid. What's this farewell? You're not human. I don't smell blood.)

(Yeah, I'm not a human. He's manipulating the human form called God's Dependency)

(Hmm. Is there such a thing in modern times? It's a different world.)

Meet Eye and walk in the labyrinth again.

That's when Norn sent me his thoughts.

I can hear Norn in my head.

I also replied in my head. [M]

At first, I talked out of my mouth, but while I was holding Magic Sword Norn, he told me that I could talk with my mind.

I'm glad.

Otherwise, Eyes might have seen you talking to the sword.

If I did that all of a sudden, Eye might think I was strange.

Apart from that, it turns out that the conversation in thought is not audible to Eye.

I am totally unaware of the fact that I am walking and talking to Norn in my head. [M]

Confirming that, he approached the magical army that was feeling the signs.

The opponent is an Iron Knight with a shield.

Are you okay? I'm sure it won't break, Norn.)

(... I don't know. Kid's blood made me hungry a little better, but I still don't have enough blood at all. However, if the skill of the user's sword is sufficient, the opponent will be slaughtered to that extent)

(In short, even an Iron Knight can't break my arm. Okay. (No problem then)

Make a final confirmation with the Iron Knight ahead.

Because I was worried that Norn, the sword that had been abandoned for centuries, could really stand the battle.

However, it seems that Norn himself does not understand it.

Maybe it's just about time.

If a total amateur tries to knock it out with force, it's no wonder it broke.

However, if used correctly, it will suffice against Iron Knight opponents.

If so, there is no problem.

That is, if I can slay the Iron Knight, it will prove more than anything that my sword is good enough. [M]

Well, if it breaks, it's fine.

(Hey, what are you talking about? I won't forgive you if you break it. I'll drink all the kid's blood.)

Norn would have heard what I was thinking. [M]

Ignoring the voices of such protests echoing through your brain.

"I'll come out. Eye, stand by with cover."

That said, while flowing magic all over my body, I also strengthened my demon armor.

Enhance your physical abilities by using magic to strengthen demon armor.

Drawing on the unimaginable strength of a child's body, he runs toward the Iron Knight.

I watched my movements and the opponent stood on his shield. [M]

It's the usual move.

The only Iron Knight with a shield.

The movement lowers the center of gravity by placing a shield on the front of the body.

Doing so will protect most of your body with its iron shields, preventing attacks and countering them.

A hard-toothed sword would have attacked the waiting shield.

Because I didn't have to worry about breaking it.

However, Norn couldn't do it because of the lack of blood.

Therefore, it was necessary to disable the guarding of the iron wall first.

I stopped suddenly in front of the opponent's shield as I ran towards them.

The Iron Knight took action to deal with it, although he felt a little confused when he saw me stop.

It's a shield attack.

A shield strikes me when I stop right in front of you.

But, of course, it was an invitation.

I have managed to deal with the Iron Knight to some extent in previous battles.

Especially if it was one-on-one, this is what I've been doing recently.

The opponent's tactics basically take the form of a counterattack after watching our movements.

In other words, if we show them the gap, they will attack.

Iron Knights protected by large iron shields can be highly defensive and cumbersome.

However, the defense of the iron wall will also collapse when the opponent is attacking.

I dared to show the gap and invite the attacker to unlock the other party's defenses.

Big shield in front of you.

I watched calmly as thick iron plates approached covering all of its sights.

Attract as close as you can to that attack as you can with your weight on it, and then squeeze it.

By sending more magic to the lower body, the flesh strengthened by demon armor increases its instant power and avoids it.

Immediately before the shield hit, he moved to dive into the side of the Iron Knight.

Then stick out the Magic Sword Norn.

Unleash a thrust by gently pulling it out with natural motion without exerting excessive force.

It was aimed at the knight's hip in the middle of an attack with his shield out.

Fires an attack at the base of the supporting legs and torso.

The tip of the magic sword hit the Iron Knight.

Had it been a hard tooth sword, you would have felt resistance there.

However, I didn't feel any resistance this time.

We didn't miss the attack.

The tip of the sword that touched the hip joints penetrated that part without any resistance.

I was surprised.

I was worried about Norn, so I was wondering if he was in a more relaxed state.

However, this is not the case.

This magic sword has a terrible sharpness.

An iron knight who destroys the joints that should support his body and collapses into a gakun and posture.

Attack the Iron Knight even more.

Magic Sword Norn is ravaging the Iron Knight.

After all, I managed to defeat the Iron Knight without spilling a single blade, even though I attacked him with nothing.

That's good.

You can use it.

Looking at Norn's sharpness, I was convinced that this magic sword was a hit.
