2195 2195th episode



"There's no one unexpectedly... ...as I knew."

 Whispering, Ray gazes around the building.
 Contrary to Ray's prediction that the middle-aged man was actually a member of the blue spear that had deceived him, he left the building without really attacking him.

"Ah,"

 Ray suddenly remembered that he had entrusted Seto with the task of getting out of the building, but I don't think he could have heard the screams of the man I mentioned earlier.

(Did Seto understand that he was a man of no particular concern? ... well, he seemed helpless, by the looks of it.)

 Ray was concerned about the man I mentioned earlier, but for now I can't hear the screams that seem to have been attacked by Seto, so I'll leave him alone.
 ... in fact, Ray didn't know, but the man who came out of the building looked like an ordinary man who didn't have fighting power, and he missed his wild intuition -- many doubted the word "wild.

"Oh, that's pretty good,"

 The new room looks like an office, and when Ray sees it, he wonders if it's something nice here.

"I mean, the organizations behind the scenes do things like paperwork. ... Surprisingly, isn't it?"

 Whispering that this organization is going to disappear anyway, I keep wooden chairs and desks in the mistling.
 This is because we judged that throwing it would be a weapon to some extent, and that it could be used as firewood as long as it is made of wood.
 After storing the five chairs and desks in the room in the mistling, Ray looked at the shelf, which seemed to contain various things, including documents.
 ...but Ray doesn't think there's anything important on the shelf.
 He had decided that if it was important, it would be hidden somewhere.

"But I can't rule out the possibility that there's something important in it. ... Hey, Blue Spears! I hope you're running away from me, but then I'll take away all the things in this building! Is that all right?"

 Ray screams provokingly.
 Of course, I don't expect the other person to come out seriously with this cry.
 Still, maybe... I'm sure you'd better do it as long as it could happen.
 Ray didn't think there was anything particularly important to him, but in fact, if something happened, he wouldn't have the option of not coming out.
 ...but no matter how much Ray shouted, there was no sign of anyone coming out.

"Didn't he run away? There's a set outside the building, so I shouldn't be able to run away. ... Oh, but if it comes to building an underground passage, that's another story."

 If you use an underground passageway to create a doorway well away from this building, it's hard to detect it, no matter how much you set it.
 If you move outside, you may be able to notice the enemy's presence by smell or sound, but if you move under the ground... it's hard.

"Oh... did it fail? I thought I wouldn't copy running away if it was attacked head-on by the organization behind me, which is also a new organization."

 The back world means a lot to me.
 Organizations, especially Blue Spears, that aim to assassinate Ray only place more importance on the face and pride of emerging organizations.
 Failure to do so could result in an unnecessary enemy being considered an easy enemy to take advantage of.
 That's why, even if it were Ray... just because one of the men attacked the hideout, it didn't seem that the organization itself would take such steps as to escape.
 Above all, Ray is targeted by emerging organizations, including the Blue Spear.
 Therefore, if you pretend to run away if the opponent you're aiming for hits back, you'll lose face completely.
 I'm going to work as a guillem, but if I lose face like that, it's hard to work.
 ...there is actually a question of how we can manage Ray safely when he is told he is going to attack us, but only those who are actually involved in this battle will understand it.

"Are you going to run away like this? Wouldn't it be better to call a blue spear a good name, but a good runner?"

 Half... No, Ray screamed with complete provocation, but there was no answer to him.

(Isn't there really no one in this building anymore?)

 Watching the ground floor with such doubts, Ray uses the stairs to head upstairs.
 But Ray's prediction that the building might not have a blue spear turned off when he went upstairs.

"Well, apparently you didn't choose to run away."

 There was a corridor upstairs and several doors lined up regularly.
 Meanwhile, the innermost door, the door at the end of the corridor, showed signs of several people... and there was a strong murder, perhaps because they understood that Ray had gone upstairs.
 However, some of the causes of the carnage were Ray's provocations.

"Well, then... first of all, greetings."

 muttering, Ray pulls out the blue spear from the mistling that he had taken from the man he had knocked down before entering the building, and after a few steps of running, throws it.
 the first throwing of a spear in twilight in a long time
 But Ray felt that this spear was the best choice in the sense that he would give a preemptive greeting to the organization called the Blue Spear.
 The spear, thrown by Ray's force, cuts through the air itself and makes a sharp noise, and goes straight... eventually through the door in the direction of its progress and into the room.

"Oh my gosh!"
"Whoa, whoa! What's that?"
"The enemy, Ray did it!"

 a cry coming from behind the door
 ...the horror of Ray's throwing is that he penetrates the door without doing so, although he would normally stab a spear into it or, in some cases, destroy it.
 Ray's strength, twisting body, and timing to let go of his spear.
 If one of them had gone wrong, it would not have given the spear that much power.
 Ray's skill in throwing spears overwhelmed others in that he could do so.
 Nevertheless, he does not care at all about the state of the spear he throws, and goes down the aisle without a weapon in his hand.
 Soon Ray arrived at the door and observed the inside through the hole created by the spear, but could not have been more confused.
 ... it's only natural. We were waiting, but we didn't expect a preemptive attack from the other party we were waiting for.

(though not all of them were confused.)

 There is no doubt that there is a sense of confusion behind the door at present, but at the same time, there is no complete elimination of the carnage that is being unleashed upon me.
 There was no doubt that if Ray opened the door and walked in, there would be some opponents waiting to attack him immediately.
 Now that he knows it, Ray doesn't think he'll fall for the enemy's tricks.
 wave one's feet at the blue spear-penetrated door
 It's also a front kick... a kick that's called a yakuza kick, not the instep of the foot, but the back kick.
 A door made of some kind of metal, or some kind of magical metal, might have endured a kick from Ray.
 But a building in a slum, or a building owned by an emerging organization, can't possibly have such a thing.
 No, or a metal door could have been done, but the door Ray kicked was made of wood.
 The doors blown off by kicks are blown off together with the hinges.

"Oops!"
"Stupid!"

 I hear a scream like that, as if it had hit the blown door.
 Ray entered the room without a trace of concern, and as soon as he realized that the room was nearly twenty tatami mats in size, he took the death-size from the mistling and shook it.

"Powerslash!"

 The increasing force of the blow brings together a few people close by.
 Unfortunately, he would be the first man to hit the devastated death size.
 The Power Slash level is currently 3.
 Although it has not reached the level five of extreme force, it is still the result of Ray's strength and death-size weight hitting... the man's upper body is flown in the direction of Ray's attack, forming pieces of flesh and blood mist.
 And that's not all.
 Some have been hit in the face by internal organs and into their mouths, while others have been damaged by bone fragments as if they had been shot at close range.
 The first man to be hit by the attack was instantly smashed in the upper body, but as a matter of course, the death-size blow did not stop.
 However, the impact of blowing the first man's upper body has greatly diminished its power, and fortunately, the second and subsequent men do not shatter their upper body like the first man's, and their upper body blows off safely and they stop moving when they bump into their companions.

"Here we are, Ray! Let's kill him!"

 A man in the back of the room shouts when he sees Ray entering the room.
 a strong‐faced man in his fifties
 その男の鋭い声に青の槍の所属している者達は一斉にレイに向けて攻撃する.
 当然のように、攻撃するのはそれぞれが持っている青い槍だ.
 レイの近くにいた者の多くが一斉に突き出す槍.
 槍衾といった表現が相応しいような、そんな攻撃.
 だが、レイはその一撃をミスティリングから取り出した黄昏の槍で弾く.
 ……もう片方の手で持っていたデスサイズは、黄昏の槍を振るった時の反動を利用して、レイの後ろに回り込もうしていた男の胴体を上下真っ二つにする.
 本来なら、槍衾と表現してもいいだけの数の槍を、一人の攻撃でどうにか出来る筈はない.
 だが……それはあくまでも普通ならばの話だ.
 レイの振るう一撃が、普通などということは有り得なかった.

「うおおおおおおっ!」

 何が起きたのか分からず、吹き飛ばされながら悲鳴を上げる男.
 それでも手に持っていた青い槍を手放さなかったのは、さすがと言うべきだろう.
 ……それでも、吹き飛ばされてしまったのを考えると、すぐに戦力として戻るのは無理なのだが.

「多連斬」

 集まっている男達に向かい、デスサイズを振るう.
 青い槍を盾にしようとした男もいたのだが、デスサイズは青い槍の柄をあっさりと切断して、その胴体を袈裟懸けに斬り裂く.
 ……だが、当然のようにその一撃だけでは終わらない.
 振るわれたデスサイズの一撃は、何もしていないのに周囲にいる他の者達に対しても同時に三つの斬撃が放たれる.
 何が起きたのか、全く分からない状態で、そこにいた他の者達は身体を斬り裂かれ、吹き飛ばされていく.

(ある意味でちょうどいい相手だよな)

 多数の……それも裏の組織の人間を相手にしてるとは思えない感想を口にするレイ.
 どうせなら、今まであまり使う機会がなかったスキルもちょうどいいのでここで使ってしまえと、そんな風に思われているとは、青の槍の面々も思わないだろう.

「マジックシールド」

 光の盾が生み出され、その光の盾を展開したまま敵に突っ込んでいく.

「ペインバースト!」
「うぎゃあああああああああああああああああああああああああああっ!」

 ペインバーストを使って振るわれたデスサイズによって右肩を切断された男が、身も蓋もないといった様子で叫ぶ.
 攻撃した時の痛みを増加させるペインバーストは現在レベル三で、相手に本来の痛みの八倍の痛みを与える能力を持っている.
 右肩を切断され、本来の八倍の痛みを与えられれば、それこそ大の男が泣き叫んでもおかしくはない.
 床を転がり回っている男の首を、掬い上げるようなデスサイズの一撃で切断し、半ば破れかぶれになったかのように襲い掛かって来た男の青い槍をマジックシールドで防ぎ、黄昏の槍で胴体を貫く.

「ペネトレイト!」

 首を切断したデスサイズの動きを手の力で強引に止め、再度別のスキルを発動.
 デスサイズの石突きの部分が風を纏い、近くにいた男の胴体を貫く.
 そうして槍とデスサイズの両方で胴体を貫くと、双方の身体を貫いたままの武器を持ち、大きく振るう.
 その衝撃で飛んでく二人の男の身体.
 その死体を半ば反射的に回避した男達の中を強引に突破し……

「さて、どうする?」

 指示をしていた男の首の後ろにデスサイズの刃を触れさせ、そう尋ねるのだった.
