'I'll take care of the small fry, Uriah, you take care of the big one. You take the big one.
I understand.


　He took out a knife from his pocket and activated the Invisible Blade 《Invisible Blade》. Furthermore, the Twilight Eye 《Twilight Sight》 was also activated again, just in case.

''........That magic eye, how long does it last?''
'I could go for three hours if I gave it my all. I used to keep it all day in the twilight.
Good job. Let's go!
Yes!


　We run out of the ground. We both strengthen each other's bodies and dive into the swarm of giant spiders, the Huge Spider, in front of us.

　Now how to proceed... I was left in charge of the individual that seemed to be the mother of the spider at the back. However, the giant spider "Huge Spider" is swarming around me. I've got to get rid of them for the time being. As I was thinking this, the giant spider in front of me, the Huge Spider, shifted diagonally in front of me.


　Then it spits out green body fluids and dies. Glancing sideways, I'm told to go with my eyes. That's right, first in the pecking order. It won't be serious, but it's still just overwhelming.


　Silas's weapons are not swords or swords. What he uses is a wire. He wears a thin glove-like object on both hands, from which he generates a wire and uses it to strengthen it with magic. Its sharpness is outstanding, and with a spurt, the giant spider 《Huge Spider》 is torn apart one by one.


''........The mother body is that.......''


　We worked our way through them and I reached the front of the mother body. It was big. It must have been about seven meters long. It's quite intimidating. But I can't be intimidated here. In two years, I've fought this kind of animal. Remember the feeling I had at that time.

　And then, with a quick flip of a switch. When I felt an image like a cog in my mind, I wielded the invisible sword, the Invisible Blade.


''Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!


　A flash. I cut off four legs on the right side of the mother's body at once. If this happens, I won't be able to keep my balance and fall. The giant spider Huge Spider is a tricky opponent, but as long as I'm careful with the threads, it's nothing to worry about. If I cut off its legs, it would be settled in the blink of an eye. However, this mother body did not fall.


''Wha........regeneration.......?


　The moment it disconnected, it probably lasted less than a second. It regenerated in the blink of an eye. The moment it was cut, it had already grown a new leg.

''........What is this individual.......''

　I couldn't help but say it out loud. I must have met a good many demons and demonkind in this twilight. But I've never seen an individual like this. There are demons that use regeneration, but I've never seen the giant spider "Huge Spider" use regeneration.


　Dammit, I guess I'm naive in my perception....


　In the twilight, the weak are the strongest of the weak. The weak become food, and the strong eat the weak and become even stronger. Is this another sign of the survival of the fittest?　Is this a super-fast regeneration in response to the fact that cutting off a leg would be an easy way to settle the matter?




　A roar. Is it a threat or is he giving instructions to his companions? Other than the mother, Silas-san is taking care of the giant spiders [Huge Spider], but there are many of them. It will take a little longer. That's why I need to take this thing down by myself.

　How will I deal with the regeneration?

　It's bound to be one of those things. Just cut it up so small that it can't be played back in time. That's all.


...Invisible.


　The choice here is Invisible. I create an invisible wall around it. Placement is ... perfect. Okay, I have no choice but to do it........


　Then I activate the Invisible Blade in both hands and charge at it. I cut off his leg in the same way as before. But if I'm going to regenerate again, then.......I avoided the thread that flew at me and kicked the invisible wall created by the Invisible, gaining more momentum and flashing it.


　Instantly, my brain cracks open, but it regenerates with a swooshing sound.

　Apparently, it's not enough to crush the brain.

　From then on, he used Invisible 《Invisible》 to add a three-dimensional movement to his swordsmanship to create an overwhelming sword attack. His opponent's attacks were perceived and avoided by using the Twilight Sight 《twilight eyes》. After repeating this, almost to the point of shredding his entire body, he saw what looked like a red light at his belly.


''A red object........?''


　It was a bright red crystal. It was the same scarlet color as this twilight. It seemed to be hiding deep in his belly, and he had to cut it into such small pieces to notice it. But the regeneration had already begun. I was curious and tried to destroy it..............and its crystal popped.





　At the same time, the regeneration stops. The mother collapses to the spot with a thud. I thought that was the end of it, but for now, I thrust the Invisible Blade into my brain to cleanly cut off only the head and flick it away, just to be sure.


''Yulia-kun, is it over?''
Yes. It took me a while.
Regeneration... Have you ever seen this one before?
No, I've never seen it before.
I've never seen that before. And it's fast. Even with your swordsmanship, you couldn't match the regeneration speed.
I mean, you've been watching me?
Yeah. A long time ago.


　Behind Silas-san who said that, there was a large number of shredded giant spiders 《Huge Spiders》 lying behind him. There must have been several hundred of them. The bottom of that ability is still not visible. Although he is smiling and laughing with a good-natured face, he is without a doubt the strongest human being in the world.


''Didn't you see anything with your magic eye?
'No.
'Oh I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but that red one?'
'Yes. It might have something to do with it. Let's have a look.


　We approach the corpse, but all we find are the mother's fluids and the spilled guts. That red crystal is gone.


No, sir.
Yeah. No. But perhaps that's what was responsible for the super-speed regeneration.
'Rationally, yes. But did it occur naturally... or was it embedded in something else?
You think there's an outsider?
'As for the possibility...'
Hmm. Let's put it on the agenda when we arrive at the First Boundary City. As a matter of fact, all the special class anti-magicians are going to have a meeting this time, which is rare. Julia-kun, you'll have to attend.
'What?　I'm not listening to you!　No way!
"And there's also a party for the royals.
'What?　I didn't hear that either!
Yeah. I'm telling you now.
Seriously, are you sure...
''Seriously. Also, I'm inviting the best people from the other citadel cities to the party, as well as some of the higher-ups in the military and such.
Huh ... okay. Okay.


　As I trotted back to the carriage, the first class anti-magicians around me looked at me in disbelief. But it wasn't from fear, it was more like envy. It's more of an envy thing. I'm sure they were relieved. There are that many of them. A first-class anti-magician alone wouldn't have been able to deal with them.


''It's still tremendous, Julia.
'Shelly. Did you see that?
I was hunting a guy who leaked backwards too.
Yeah, yeah. I'm impressed, too. That's what I'm talking about.
'Thank you, Shelly, Sophia. But.....
What's going on?
No, it's nothing.


　This uncomfortable feeling would be unimportant. But a bad premonition often comes true.....
