First of all, the first blow was--me.


　I'm going to be the first to go to the top of the stairs.

　I'm not going to be the only one who's been in a position to do this, but I'm going to be the only one who's been in a position to do it.

''Oh no!

　I kicked up the splintered floor and sent it flying towards the old butler's face and then swung at En.

　But the old butler keeps a cool expression on his face and chops up the flying pieces of floor in mid-air, incapacitating them, and then sidesteps the sidestepping En, who is swinging out of time.

"Hm ...... is a terrifying attack speed,

"That's not what you normally avoid, dude!

　With the end of the word, several water dragons appear that can be activated at the moment of the reminder with no more time lag, and they are released to the old butler.

　The engine is at full throttle from the start. Otherwise, you're going to lose.

Otherwise, we're going to lose.

　The water dragons, which for some reason have started to roar, go forward with great force through the hollow as if they were intertwined with each other, and open their great gongs to bite the old butler...

"Phu--!

　--And then the old butler slashed the attacking water dragons....

"Geez, are you serious?

　It's a very good thing.

　The sword swung down from the top step with a huge wind sound, splitting my water dragons in half left and right.
　The water dragons, which were disrupted as magic, returned to just water, and eventually disappeared without leaving any traces.

　Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!

　Can magic cut?

Carelessness is our greatest enemy.

"Oh!"?

　The old butler, who has closed the distance in one fell swoop, unleashes a thrust against me, who was upset that my magic had been disabled in an unexpected way, and whose movements had slowed down.

　I hurriedly prevented it with en, but in the process, it wriggled like a living creature and the trajectory of the sword changed--what! Hey, wait a minute, what's that?

　At that moment, the old butler unleashes two (...) attacks at the same time with a single slash, and two swords (・・・・・・) are coming at me.

　You'll be able to avoid them by backing away, but both of your shoulders are slashed shallowly at the same time, and blood erupts with a bang.

What the hell was that?

　Now it looks like I have two more arms holding a sword!

　Perhaps he fired a barrage of blows at such a frightening speed that it would give the illusion of a split arm: .......

This is just a minor technique. I'm sure with a little more practice you will be able to do it too.

　What are you talking about, old man? Do you think we're all superhuman?

　My dexterity level has gone up tremendously and I'm much better with magic...but my sword is a little better? That's about as good as it gets.

　I've felt many times that I have no talent with a sword. I'm just deceiving with skill and status.

　d*mn it. If this was the case, should I have upgraded my swordsmanship and great swordsmanship skills before leaving the dungeon? The effects are duplicative.

　...... No, that doesn't make sense to this old man.

　--Calm down and use your brain.

　You don't stand a chance with your sword. I'm a lot younger than you.

　You have to be able to find the best way to get the most out of your new collection.

　...... So what's my advantage?

　Body toughness. Magic. Wings to take on. And en.

　--Yes.

　I grow wings on my back and yell out to En, who's holding them.

"En! Activate the wind magic!

"......!

　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm going to do with it.

　As soon as you feel your own body engulfed in the flame, the air currents sprayed backwards around it - an instantaneous explosion.

Nuh-!

If it burns, I'll put it out, old man!

　In a literal sense, I'm blown up, I close the gap between the two and unleash a jet-engineered en on the old butler.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to eat this, but I jumped back and avoided it - but I won't let him get away with that.

　The recoil from the forward motion of the en is enough to cause your body to fall backward significantly, but you can use your wing control to make a U-turn with a guinea pig and accelerate again at once.

　In addition, he flaps his wings in front of the old butler who holds his sword, rapidly changing his trajectory as he comes at Jisan.

Nnnn! It's tricky!

　While talking about this, the old butler ducks my slashes one after another with an agility that is hard to imagine for an old man.

　Tch, which is more troublesome.

Your body language is much more troublesome!

　I'm not sure how many times the old butler has been blasted around, and the slashes have caused the roaring flames to be snatched and the old butler's butler's clothes to be torn to shreds - still no critical hits.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the event that you're in a hurry.

　Good ...... works.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what kind of reflexes you have when you not only keep up with my speed, but also precisely what kind of reflexes you have when you counterattack.
　The demons in the forest of the demon world are of the same status as I am, but when they are wearing roaring flames and flying around, it is almost impossible to avoid their attacks.

　I've heard that status goes down as you age, and it's really scary to imagine a younger age.
　I'm sure this old man would be a good match for the dragon tribe.

What a match! Can we have this kind of game in the middle game of this tournament?

　The voice of the host and the audience's enthusiasm is a little depressing for now .

　Huu ...... calm down .

　I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

"Lord, what's the wound?

I'm good to go. Anyway, En, how much magic do you have left?

"...... and about a minute more



　Tsk. ...... Ahh, I guess I used too much.

　It's true that potions don't work for en. .......

...... I see. It's the first time I've seen that weapon called an 'intelligence weapon'.

Oh, you're well aware of that.

"I felt that the sword was following your will. You have a beautiful sword. Take care of it.

"Of course! My kids are the cutest in the world! I'll take care of it without being told!

　Zubizhi! The old butler smiles for a moment as he sticks his finger at you.

"............

　And the embarrassed, writhing emotions coming from en . Cute.

"Anyway, please don't come down, sir?

"Say stupid! Who's going to go down in that danger zone?

　At least here, the old man's attack will be out of reach.

I see. Well--let me go first.

"Huh--!

　At the moment, crisis-sensing skills come across, intense crisis.

　I'm not going to go against it, but instead use my wings to do my best emergency evasion in the air.

　A moment later, from the sword wielded by Guon and the old butler, a slash - something like a flying slash (・・・・) - is released, snatching a few centimeters from the side of my face and flying off somewhere.

　What the hell is that?
　If a swordsmanship skill is mastered, it can also be used for long-range attacks?

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them. 　

I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

"Watch out!

　I'm going to be able to get the same kind of magical power into En as well, being careful not to trigger the "Red Flame" skill that is usually activated there, and swinging it out with all my might as if it were flying far away.

　Then, although the attack itself is avoided, a flying slash is released from the tip of En's sword, just like Jisan's, and it gouges the floor of the stage.

　It's the first time I've done this, but it's surprisingly accurate.

"Just by looking at it, you're imitating it! It's quintessential.

"Humph! I'll definitely distort that spare expression, Jeez!

　From here, the second round begins!
