TL. Sorry for not updating for a couple days… and updates will not have a set time for now. Work has been pretty stressful

───Gyiii

As we went through the door, which opened with a creaking sound, we saw the presence that awaited us.

「…………」

「「……」」

The boss room is in a labyrinth, but it’s a forest. At the far end of the open space, a man with a rat’s face? was sitting on the ground.

「… Hey, what are we gonna do about this… ?」

「… I-I don’t know what to say…」

「Let’s see your endurance」

「「Eh?」」

The man suddenly spoke, and immediately a lot of stuff started falling from above. I reflexively cut them all in half and moved closer to Suzu.

「It’s magic」

「Show me your endurance. The fight comes after」

The man who is still sitting on his knees with his eyes closed instructs us. The point is that we have to endure attacks that are coming, right?

「All right! We’ll do it!! … Aya, that is」

「Ehh!?」

「You’ll be fine! I’m right behind you!」

「Hey, hey, Iris. Can you do that again?」

「Aah… That move!」

「Yes. Suzu, can you take care of Iris?」

「! Of course!!」

The number of magic spells that had just come from above was really large. There are about 200 of them, and if that’s the number at the beginning, it will probably be several times higher for the actual thing. I was able to handle it just fine earlier, but I don’t think I have the luxury of handling dozens of times as many. That’s why I decided to ask Iris to do that thing.

「─── 《Sword Hell》」

As I muttered this, 20 swords, or katanas, appeared from either side of me. I manipulate 2 of them and bring them in front of me. The first time I used 《Sword Hell》, I could only move 1 sword properly, so I left everything to Iris and the spirits. But I can be useful by moving 2 of them myself and letting Iris and the spirits do the rest. So, I’m limited to making 2 of them move. I cannot move more than that, because if I do, one might slip up, or all of them might stop working… Maybe I’ll get used to it…

「I’ll leave Iris and the rest to you!」

In order to be able to deal with magic no matter where it is coming from, the swords and katanas are deployed in a hemispherical shape, waiting for the onslaught of the opponent. I will protect Suzu from the inside. Eh? I’m slacking off? No, no… Just… Just in case? If Iris and the others are unable to handle the magic and it passes through, Suzu will be in danger, right? That’s what I’m talking about.

「Fuu……………」

───Chin……

I exhaled and slowly drew my sword. To be honest, I think Iris and the others are only there to ease my mind. No, my intuition tells me so. Although their numbers will be greatly reduced, there will be enough of them to kill Suzu and I…

「───Let’s see what you got」

…… ──────── !!!!!

「… !」

───Supan… !!

The sound of swords, katanas and magic colliding with each other echoes through the forest. As expected, magic passes through, and so I manipulate a black sword to cut it down. I’m not sure why, as far as light magic is concerned, it dissipates just by hitting it. I hope one day I can figure out why…

「… Amazing…. Like an automatic interception system…」

「……」

Suzu is saying something, but I ignore her because I’m concentrating. I’m sorry, Suzu… Let’s talk a lot later.

───Gin! Gyiin!! Giginggigigigyiin!!

「…… It’s about time…」

I mumble to myself and close my eyes. I place my right hand on the hilt of the Black Wolf King’s Magic Sword on my left hip and prepare for the torrent that will come in about 7 seconds.

───Paki………. n……………

「……」

───────── !!!!

As soon as one of the black swords left in the hands of the spirits was broken, the amount of magic coming at us increased tremendously. I slashed them with the profound techniques I learned from my master.

───Paki!! … Bakin! …

Another one… breaks. More magic each time. The difficulty is gradually increasing, which makes it a little more interesting.

───────── !!!!!

A wave of magic bullets came at me with an indescribable roar. It was so vivid and beautiful, but at the same time, it was terrifying.

「─── AhhhhhHHHHHH!!!!!」

As I shouted, I increased the speed of my slashing.

────── !!!

「─── What… This is… brilliant…」

The rat man opened his eyes and stared at the pair with a surprised look on his face. This man is not casting magic. He just lets his many henchmen do it for him. The one who stands at the top of more than 10,000 rats. That’s what this rat man is. He was able to unleash a single spell for each rat, but this level of magic can be described as weak. However, what if there were countless of them coming at the same time? It would be hard to avoid them, and even harder to repel them.

The rat man knew this and continued to stare at them, not even trying to hide his surprise.
