The nail growing out of the black wolf's finger was a little while ago... that was the normal nail that wasn't particularly uncomfortable when Ray gave him the meat bun.
　At the very least, they are not as sharp as the blade of a dagger.
　Since only a few days had passed since the day the meat bun was handed to the black wolf, it was naturally impossible for the nail to grow to this point in such a long.

"Black wolf? I see!"

　If you're here, Ray can't say he doesn't want to attack the black wolf.
　From within the mystery ring, he takes out his usual weapons of death size and twilight spear.
　Fortunately, the Black Wolf chose a large space as the battlefield.
　If this had been a place like an alley, I would not have been able to imitate the use of course.
　However, it was not for Ray's benefit that the Black Wolf set up such a large area as a battlefield.
　This is because the black wolf's style of battle was easier to fight in than in narrow alleys.
　The black wolf disappeared again, silent as ever... the next moment he stood a little further from Ray.

(Transition? Is it a personal metastasis? No, but... I don't think so. Is that... really a metastasis?)

　Looking at Ray and the black wolf facing each other, Elena feels uncomfortable with the black wolf's behavior.
　How and how can you behave like that?
　Do you have magic items or something else?
　Ray knows this ability of a black wolf is a skill, but he has never taught it to anyone else.
　That's probably why Elena is confused by the actions of the black wolf.
　Still, Elena is asked by Ray to leave the fight to her, not reach for the sword mirror on her waist.
　Above all, Ray is the strongest man Elena knows.
　At least that's what Elena believes so.
　With Ray fighting like that, all Elena can do is trust and watch Ray win.

"Your skills are still tricky. Transition... No, I don't think it's a good idea for just transition, but..."

　So Ray pauses and wields his death size in his right hand.
　a blow that cuts through space itself, let alone air
　Even the black wolf, who was supposed to be advantageous in the present situation, had the power to stop moving with a momentary goggle.

"If you catch me at one blow, you will lose at that point. If you come at me with that in mind, I'll take it."

　a half‐threatening remark
　But naturally, the Black Wolf, who is famous as a skilled assassin, cannot fall for Ray's threat.
　He disappears again, and the next moment he appears behind Ray, wielding his claws as sharp as a dagger.

"I thought you'd come!"

　Screaming sharply, Ray wields his death-size, avoiding a blow from behind.

"Multiple slashes!"

　It's one of the skills of death size, and it's a simple yet extremely powerful skill.

"What!"

　Blackwolves avoided a death-size blow, but multiple slashes are a skill that enables two attacks in a single attack.
　Yes, for example, if a black wolf evades a single stroke of paper, the second attack fills the gap and forces the opponent to attack.
　Nevertheless, the Black Wolf, instinctively aware of Ray's danger of death and the viciousness of his skill of multiple slashing, was not fatally wounded by the blow.
　There's a slight scar on the face, but that's it.
　It's not a half‐hearted attack, though, at the point of wounding an assassin called a black wolf.
　Perhaps surprised by the skill of multiple slashes, the black wolf disappears in front of Ray and appears away.

(That metastasis... metastasis? Anyway, I understand that metastasis is a skill, but it's troublesome to disappear and appear without any preliminary action or preparation.)

　If it is a transition using a magic item, it is necessary to use the magic item in any way.
　However, there is no particular preparatory movement in the skills used by black wolves.
　If you really notice it, the black wolf is right behind Ray, so you can't lose a second of your mind.
　It's not impossible to deal with it if you're going to drive in at high speed...
　Ray has five senses that are sharper than ordinary people, and he can see them visually or feel the flow of air tactually.
　But it's hard to detect if you're acting like you suddenly appear behind you instead of traveling at a high speed.

(No, I can feel the black wolf moving behind me because of its tactile sense, and I can handle it, so it's not at all useless.)

　Above all, Ray's use of black wolves is what makes him afraid.
　When the black wolf appears today, he seems to have hit Ray with a pinpoint, and when he tries to hit Ray with no sense of murder, he tries to hit him like he does now.
　Nevertheless, Ray's behavior, which responds immediately to Blackwolves as if they had anticipated their own actions, is nothing short of troubling.
　What will Ray do next? That's because the black wolf needs to make a firm decision.
　If you're not good at this, you'll get a fatal blow immediately by Ray's scythe and spear.
　In fact, Ray's attack cut his cheek slightly.

"Well, what do you do? The first thing I got hurt was... minor injuries, but that's it. Do you want to continue?"

　With his usual two-spear style, Death Size and Twilight Spears, Ray says so with a provocative smile.
　Ray didn't want to fight the black wolf in the first place, but since they came here to kill him, there's no reason why he won't stand up.
　Whatever the black wolf thinks, Ray doesn't have the choice to kill him.
　But when asked if he would like to do it like this, if he were to retreat immediately, the black wolf would not attack him like this in the daytime.
　Ray's retort was to stretch out his nails, which had already been as sharp as a dagger.
　It seemed to me that I was not going to retreat from here, but that I was going to resume fighting now.
　On the contrary, some sharp tusks grow out of the black wolf's mouth and show them to Ray.

"Well, you're going to fight after all? ... Well, if you think of it as an assassin and an assassin, this may well be the case, but ... I'm going to really kill you from now on."

　In the case of the multiple slashes mentioned earlier, the black wolf might have been badly damaged if it had been hit properly, and that would be the possibility of death.
　Still, Ray didn't intend to kill the attack... he didn't have to kill it.
　But it's different from now on.
　You're really trying to fight against someone who comes for your life.
　With that being the case, it was only natural that the latest attack would take the enemy's life in earnest.

"I can't do my best here, but... there's so much I can do!"

　Screaming, Ray kicks the ground to narrow his distance from the black wolf.
　the usual way of moving a black wolf different from moving in an instant
　However, just because it's an ordinary way of traveling, it doesn't mean that it's slow.
　It's hard to follow Ray's movements by kicking the ground.
　The black wolf, however, is undoubtedly a first‐rate user.
　I could see with my own eyes Ray's movements as he pushed me, and I was even thinking of striking a sharp nail blow as a counter.

"Do you think I'll make you do it?"

　As long as Ray could see the black wolf's attitude, I could almost intuitively understand what he was aiming for.
　The fight of attacking with one's own arm is, after all, faster than any other weapon.
　It's safe to say that the blow is extremely powerful and quick, especially if you're a leading user of the Black Wolves.
　the attack that would have been impossible for an ordinary person to avoid
　Ray, however, was far from normal, and, above all, he had engaged in mock battles with Vihela, whose main weapon was the same struggle.
　He awaits the black wolf, who was about to enter his pocket while avoiding a death-size blow, with a twilight spear in his left hand.
　The timing itself is different, so you can't say that your power is at its fullest... but it's still powerful enough to blow your opponent away.

"What!"

　The black wolf averts such a blow of the twilight spear by quickly falling to the ground.
　Naturally, the black wolf kicks the ground in that state when the spear of twilight passes over his head.Ray's feet are aimed at by his sharp claws.
　Underfoot is one of the most difficult places to intercept, and the black wolf, of course, knew it.
　That's why the black wolf aimed at it.
　Ray moves very quickly, if not as fast as a black wolf.
　The attack was probably aimed at obstructing the movement by attacking the foot.
　But... sensing the attack of such a black wolf, Ray almost reflexively kicks the ground and leaps into the air.
　Air is motionless, and it is not an action that should normally be taken carelessly when you are fighting.
　However, this is just an ordinary case, and for Ray, who is wearing slapnil shoes that can be kicked through the air, the air was no different from his own foothold.
　Just kick it through the air to distance itself from the black wolf, and as soon as it lands on the ground, it thrusts a death-size stonemate into the ground.

"Terrain manipulation!"

　Desize now has a level of topographical manipulation of 4.
　You can move up and down the ground within a radius of 70 meters around you by up to 150 cm.
　If you can play with such height, it is not difficult to imitate the black wolf by sinking the ground in an instant.
　However, the depth of the hole was 150 cm, and it was impossible to imitate the complete sinking of a black wolf to the ground.
　Still, for a moment... no, for a few seconds, it's possible to make enough room to stop the black wolf from moving, and Ray runs through the hole where the black wolf is located, pulling a death-size stonemate out of the ground.
　Stretching from the ground is the neck of a black wolf.
　Of course it wasn't that I was burying myself, so I could easily move if I wanted to.
　But the Black Wolf could not immediately react to the sight of Ray approaching him, perhaps completely unexpected that the ground would sink suddenly. He could not... but the next moment he had disappeared from the hole.
　When Ray saw it, he stopped and turned his gaze sharply forward diagonally to the right.
　There the black wolf stared at Ray with a watchful glance.
　The attack was probably completely unexpected to the black wolf.
　I don't think Ray can imitate me like that, so I stare at him as if I'm watching him.

"What's wrong with the Black Wolf, the rumored assassin, if it comes to fighting head on? To be honest, I don't know what he thought and tried to fight head on."

　Ray's words were not only half provocative but also pure doubts.
　Under normal circumstances, assassins don't fight like black wolves.
　It's a common assassin in everyday life to poison his food... or to aim at the vital spots at each other, or to attack where he sleeps.
　Of course, all of them are difficult in Ray's ability.
　But it's just difficult, not impossible.
　For Ray at least, the winning percentage seemed to be higher than that of trying to fight head on like this way out.
　But the black wolf didn't do such a thing and came to defeat Ray head on... no, to kill him.
　If you don't know Ray's ability and have too much confidence in your own power, you can imitate him, but it's the Black Wolf who confronts him.
　Even though they didn't mean it, they should have been aware of each other's abilities through a light fight.
　Nevertheless, Ray couldn't understand why he had fought head-on.
