22 22. "One Hundred Feet"




"Sora, sora, sora!

 I'm not sure what to do.
 It's not just the tip of the sword that's dangerous.
 It's not just the tip of the sword that's dangerous - the extended blade has an edge as well.
 It's not just the tip of the sword that's dangerous, but also the extended blade.
 But the blade does not stop.

"Ha, what's the point!

 The Hundred Foot begins to move again.
 The tip of the sword is always chasing after me as if it were aiming at me.
 I try to dodge it and close the distance, but the blade blocks it.
 I run to look around the fault.
 I would occasionally swing my sword to attack, but the wind blade I created was blocked by the extended blade of my sword.
 Even at a distance, if you don't get close enough, the power will decrease.
The entirety of the Hundred Foot seems to be imbued with magical power and boasts a higher defense than it appears.
 Despite his wild words and actions, Folt was also cautious in his fighting style.
 He has a firm stance of never letting me get close to him.
 If you step into an area that at first glance appears to be a gap, he will launch a pincer attack with the blade and tip of the sword - something that would be impossible with an ordinary sword.
 In terms of killing power alone, the blade of the sword is probably more powerful than the tip.
 The saw-like blade keeps moving incessantly - gouging might be a closer word than slashing.

Are you just going to run away forever?
It's not like that.

 In response to Folt's words, he swung his sword.
 It's not that I don't like it," he said.

There's no point in repeating that, you know. Do you think that the blade can cut? The "core" used for this thing's blade is not just a string. It's made from the 《Dragon's Beard》.
"The Dragon's Beard ...... I see, so it is indeed sturdy.
The movement of the sword itself can be compared to a dragon's tail. ....... It's the kind of sword that rips through flesh and gouges out bone.

I'm not sure what to make of it.
 The material is hard in every way, and although I don't know the strength of the dragon it's made from, I do know that it's of a level that can withstand my attacks.
 I dodged the approaching sword tip, ducked under the blade, and fired another blow at the sword.
 The same clash of metal sounded, but it did not stop.

You don't know it's useless, do you?

 "Don't you know it's useless!" Folt waved his hand widely.
 With a swish, the blade widened, and the tip of the sword closed in on me as if it were conscious.
 If I try to stop myself, the tip of the sword will unceasingly unleash a series of blows.
 If I were to stop, the tip of the sword would unceasingly strike. --Without a decisive move, the game is lost.
 The sword that Folt uses, the Hyakutoku, is an excellent sword for medium to long distances.
 It is rare for a fight between swordsmen to be fought at a distance.
 In particular, a fast blow from mid-range, such as the Invisible I use, is effective against most opponents.
 In the current situation, it's not a decisive factor.

(...... will take some time, but you'll have to be steady.)

 You can't just keep dodging without a plan.
 It's about time--it's about time it kicked in.
 I stop in my tracks.

I stopped suddenly. "Huh, you finally gave up?
No, I thought it was time to go on the offensive.
Huh. ...... I'm looking forward to that.

 As if obeying Folt's will, the Hundred Foot moved.
 I intercepted it with my sword at the ready. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
 Every time I hit it, it scratches the ground and the school building. It's not as if he's swinging it around in the dark, but the sword's characteristic is that it can be used to attack a wide area.
 --In this sense, it's a good thing that it wasn't during the daytime, when there are many students.

"......!

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
 I just keep on catching and slashing away at the tip of Fault's "Hundred Foot" sword.
 Occasionally, I would catch and stop a sword blow that flew straight at me, and then immediately return the tip of my sword to a defensive posture.
 In the midst of the increasing speed of the blows, I am still unable to land a single blow.
 A single blow will seem infinitely far away.
 At least, I don't think Fault's blade will ever reach me.
 Because his sword is good at long range attacks, but that's all.
 His sword speed is also not fast. He has erratic aggression, but his strength is not fully demonstrated in one-on-one combat.
 Of course, it is good enough for a normal opponent, but in this case, the opponent is bad.

"Sorry, but you can't reach me.
"Screw you, ......!

 He took one step closer, and then another.
 Each time, Folt would back away.
 If it was a battle of strength, Fault would have the advantage.
 I can't keep fighting with him.
 I took a big step forward. At that moment, the fault smiles.

"Gotcha!

 He must have found an opening in my movement.
 He must have seen an opening in my movement and accelerated the movement of the blade, and the tip of the sword came around me.
 It is true that the attack comes from the left side, and at this timing, my defense will not be in time.


 But it doesn't matter. I'm not going to defend myself.
 I swing my sword at the fault.
 The blade of wind that emerges approaches the fault.
The blade of the Hundred Foot swells and moves to block my attack.

I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm not sure what to do. --I'm not sure what to make of that.
 It's also a great way to get the most out of your business.

I'm not sure what to do. Oh, shit! d*mn it! What the hell did you do?

 I'm not sure what to make of that.
 It's not that Fault was careless.
 I wasn't just slashing at each other for no reason either.

It looks like it's finally working.
What do you mean, "......"?
My sword, the Blue Armor Sword, is not just a sword. It's got magic in it. Well, I'm sure you were aware of that, so you were probably on your guard.
I said what the hell is going on?
Simply put, it's like a poison.
Poison. ......? ......?
Yeah. Normally, it's effective against mages. It's also effective against swords that have had magic passed through them. But it took a while because of the length of the blade. My sword will break up the flow of magic.
"......!

 I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. It is especially effective against weapons that are made with magic or are used through magic power.
 However, it takes time for the effect to penetrate longer or larger swords, such as those used by Fault.
This is the magic effect that my sword has.
 I'm not sure what to make of this.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.  

I've been waiting for this for a long time. ......!
You're right. Well, at least it didn't look like your sword strike was going to reach me, so I kept it steady. You were the same way about that, weren't you?
"......!

 You're not going to fight me any more now that you've lost your dominant arm.
 I'm sure you're aware that if you move too far you'll lose your left arm as well.

"Fault Macenta. I'm taking you into custody for the attempted assassination of Iris Reinfell, the Princess of the Sword Saints, and for the murder of knights, including the Blue Sword.
"......, do you really think you're going to get caught for free?
I'm not sure if I'll be able to get away with it in this situation.

 I'm not sure what to make of it.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
 You can see that it is tinged with a strong magical power. --You'll be able to see that there is a strong magical power in the ball and it suddenly emits a strong light.

"d*mn, ......!

 The bright light blinds me.
 I held up my sword, but there was no sign that it was going to attack - it was simply using its tools to get out of here.
 The presence that had approached me earlier no longer existed.
 On the contrary, I stopped moving when I felt another presence coming from behind the school building.
 I looked at it, and the shadow appeared.
 There was Iris, looking at me with a worried expression.

"Iris, what are you doing here so late at night?
Schweizer, sir. What did you mean when you said ......?

 He must have heard what I said. That's why he asked.
 That's why he asked.
 There is no sign of him nearby, but at least it would be better to stay with Iris than to chase a wounded fault.

(...... And now that you've asked, you'll have to explain.

 In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your home.
