When Geiska was in despair... of course the battle between Ray and the Black Wolf was still going on.
　The battle that gets more intense over time is such a sophisticated battle that anyone who sees it thinks they can pay for it.
　It was an unparalleled match against Ray's mock battle a little while ago.
　But Elena is the only one watching the battle.
　Ellena, watching her beloved man fight, had already completely sober up.

(Well, I think it's a metastasis. That's a nuisance anyway.)

　Ray's death size and twilight spear strikes are powerful enough to kill the black wolf with one stroke.
　It was also certain that even if it didn't go that far, it would hurt the fighting.
　Nevertheless, when Ray's blow is delivered, the black wolf immediately metastasizes to avoid it.
　It was because the Black Wolf judged that he could not take Ray's blow, though not very well, that the Black Wolf's judgment was very accurate.
　Normally, it is not easy to continue to calmly avoid a series of blows that could easily kill one's own life.
　However, it was not difficult for the Black Wolf, a very skilled assassin, to continue avoiding the attack.

"Oh, you're too persistent!"

　Ray reveals his irritation against the Black Wolf, who averts a death-size blow and leaps back to distance himself from Ray.
　I used some skills, but the black wolf avoided all of them.
　What exactly is the effect of Ray's skills... he avoids them all, even though he doesn't know them.
　The power of the attack itself is not so strong, but Ray certainly ranks high among the opponents he has fought against so far.
　The claws of black wolves, though not so powerful, are as sharp as daggers.
　If it were only the work of a black wolf, the assassination, it would be perfectly fine.
　The black wolf of today is like a dagger with fingers of both hands and sharp tusks from his mouth... with tusks worthy of the name of the black wolf.

「……」

　Perhaps frustrated by Ray's words, the black wolf who interceded with him... disappears the next moment.
　The black wolf was behind Ray, waving its claws down the next moment he thought it had disappeared without movement.
　But Ray has also disappeared in front of her many times and has thus been attacked.
　No matter how hard it would normally be to avoid, it was only natural to get used to it after so many experiences.
　... a blow that could normally have been fatal, but Ray swings his body to death, avoiding the blow.
　The blow was powerful and sharp enough to cut a man's life easily.
　Naturally, the black wolf leaps back quickly to distance itself from Ray as long as such a blow is fatal.
　It's a series of actions that Ray has done many times, but that makes him questionable.

(Why is it behind me when I see him?)

　That's a question
　Naturally, it's true that it's effective to get behind the scenes in terms of unexpectedness.
　But it's only the first time or a few times after that.
　Nevertheless, the black wolf always appears behind Ray.
　There was a feeling in Ray that a black wolf who had enough ability to fight with him could not understand such a thing. In other words...

(Is there a limitation that it only exists behind the other person? No, I've seen it disappear in front of me a few times before, but it didn't seem like there was a limitation.)

　It wasn't a battle, but when Ray encountered a black wolf, he always disappeared.
　The black wolf's actions were nothing but questionable to Ray, as he had not disappeared at the time.

(In the first place, if it didn't metastasize to the back, but rather to the head, I'd be confused. I wouldn't do it... No, does it mean anything to not to be able to do?

　Putting all your strength into the hands holding the death size, this time you don't wait for the black wolf to act, you move on your own.

"Magic Shield!"

　the shield of light produced with the words
　The skill of creating such a shield of light that, though only once, it is certain that any attack will be accepted.
　For the Black Wolf, the light shield Ray had created out of nowhere was very suspicious and alarming.
　Ray's gaze becomes more severe, and his dagger-like claws click from the fingers of the black wolf's hand.
　It was a small sound, but strangely enough the sound was heard well in Ray's ear.
　But Ray approaches the black wolf with the magic shield unfolding, without regard to the black wolf's appearance, which he is so wary of -- as he is fighting against.

(From that appearance, the black wolf is certainly wary of the Magic Shield, so perhaps the next thing he will do is...)

　Thinking about what to do next, Ray approaches the black wolf and wields his death-size.
　What is the black wolf thinking, and when Ray comes at him, he shows no sign of any particular response.
　Then the death-size is shaken... the next moment, naturally, the black wolf disappears.
　As soon as Ray saw it, he tried to shake his death-size back...

(No!)

　As before, Ray shook his head thinking that it would spread backward, but the black wolf's sign was released on the right side of Ray.
　But Ray was trying to swing his death-size counterclockwise -- the opposite of the second hand of the clock -- and now that he was in that position, the black wolf was behind him.
　At the moment, what should I do, Ray, was lost for a moment... no, there was less than a moment.
　Ray wields his death size.
　As long as there is no black wolf where he takes it for granted, it is a blow as if it were cutting through the air... at that moment, Ray's magic shield is attacked by the black wolf and dispersed into particles of light.
　But... as a matter of course, that's not the end of Ray's action.
　Attacking the place where black wolves were supposed to exist, the body twists around the legs and swings toward the current position where black wolves exist.
　The action is due to the magic shield's ability to prevent the enemy's attack completely, albeit completely.
　The feeling of cutting something and the feeling of something heavy hitting and blowing off.
　In a dead-sized situation, I looked where the black wolf was, and there was a black wolf blowing straight away.
　When Ray saw such a black wolf, he expected it to kill him, but he immediately looked at the black wolf with a stern look on his face.
　If the death-size blade had hit it right, it would not have blown away like this, and the body would have been split in two.
　It stinks of blood, but it is still a very satisfying situation... for the Black Wolf had somehow managed to overcome a death-size blow.

(Did you step back at once?)

　Watching a black wolf twisting itself in the air and landing on the ground, Ray predicts.
　If the black wolf had been in the background just as he wanted, he could not afford to do so.
　However, this time the black wolf appeared not behind Ray as before, but on the right.
　It cost Ray less than a moment, but he wasted his time.
　As a result, even a death-size blow would have allowed the black wolf to bounce back and weaken the force of the attack.

(That's the kind of thing that metastases and evades... well, isn't it that easy? In fact, in all the battles I've had, when metastases can easily evade, I've usually avoided them with my physical abilities. Maybe even with skills, there's some kind of limitation.)

　Holding his death size, Ray observes the black wolf again.
　This blow did not kill the black wolf.
　But it was also true that it could certainly hurt, and that it would certainly have an impact on the battle, if not fatal.

"What are you going to do? You can't fight with that wound the way you've fought before, can you? If you surrender, you can save your life."

　The black wolf disconnects his hand from his abdomen, which he had held since landing.
　Weren't you trying not to bleed unnecessarily?
　That's what Ray thought, but... he saw where he left his hand, and he took his breath away from surprise.
　Because the wound that might have been present when I put my hand away was obviously small. … No, it is correct that it is now getting smaller and smaller.
　There are a number of small bubbles coming out of the wound, either by the effect of the bubbles or by any other effect.
　At any rate, there was no doubt that the wound that had just been scratched was recovering rapidly and at a tangible rate.

"Are you kidding?"

　Ray muttered, but it's not a joke, it's a fact that it's actually getting smaller at such a speed that you can see with your eyes.
　If you don't cut off your head or cut off your torso with one blow, you won't be able to win, will you?
　No, even if you cut off your neck or torso, if you stick it together immediately, it will stick to you.
　It might be called amazing resilience or regeneration, but that's what I think when I see black wolves today.

(In other words, if you want to knock it down, you have to kill it with a single blow, or you don't want it to regenerate the moment you kill it.)Black wolves are by no means a hateful partner for Ray.
　No, I think I used drugs to attack me, but I still don't hate them enough to kill them, probably because of my experience feeding them.
　However, if they attack me, of course, I have no intention of accepting it in silence.
　That's why Ray is fighting against the black wolf.
　But it wasn't without the question of whether it was really okay to kill the black wolf.

(It's best to surrender... Huh?)

　Ray, who knew that there was nothing he could do about it, was thinking about it, but suddenly realized that the black wolf looked strange.

"Well... but..."

　It's the first word leaked from the mouth of a black wolf.
　Ray spent some time with the black wolf, but nevertheless heard what the black wolf said.
　But this is not the time to think about it.
　The words that came out of the black wolf's mouth were, without doubt, a moan as if to endure something.

"Black wolf?"

　Ray, who doesn't know what's going on, still talks to her in a casual manner.
　But... the moment Ray calls out, the black wolf's eyes turn straight to Ray.
　He was usually a black wolf with little expression on his face, but now there was a clear feeling about him.
　It's... hunger.

(Why?)

　Until recently there was nothing particular about hunger.
　I knew you had a good appetite for meat buns, but it would not be normal for you to get hungry in such a desperate battle.
　Then there's only one thing that comes to mind as to why this suddenly happened.

"Well, I see. I don't think there were any tricks or tricks in that powerful ability to recover, let alone metastasize."

　It was clear from what was going on that the previous rapid recovery was not going to work again and again.

(Then, there is no particular problem. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　A man of exceptional physical ability and the ability to avoid would definitely rank higher than Ray has ever fought.
　Is it possible to attack such a person over and over again like I did before?
　I had such a question for a moment, but as long as I still had to do it, I couldn't back down here.
