Relying on the world--?
　No!　This Rainer Helvillestein--!

I've never relied on the world for anything in my life!

　As I gave that answer, the wind blew out of my body.

''--?

　The wind pushes the tip of the stick back, giving Nosfi his first look of confusion.

'Oh, I can't (...) reach you!　But I can't lose just because I can't reach it!

　And we don't rely on the world because we can't win.

　Is there no such thing as a convenient world?
　I knew that a long time ago.

　That's why I'm relying on you, my brother, and Christ!　And load on Mr. Rowen!　And, oh, my sister and her friends at the Academy!
　I'm fighting now, relying on the help of the 'people' who saved me from this piece of garbage!

　The upheaval of wind generated from me reached its highest point and tried to blow away Nosfi, who was standing above me. Naturally, she tries to respond with light magic. Working on my 'blood' and trying to activate the same magic - Nosphy is confused.

'This wind isn't magic--!　No, on the contrary--!

　The wind converges on my shoulders and gains shape.
　The shape of that wind is an 'arm'.
　An arm of wind was generated that looked vaguely familiar to me.

'Arms!'

　The arm of the wind moved to catch the wide-eyed and surprised Nosphy. To avoid being touched by the too-unidentified arm, Nosphy leapt away from me.

　The wind arm dismounts me and I'm free.
　Then, in front of the wary Nosphy, I shakily stand up and regain my grip on my sword.

　Before I knew it, the world had turned into a fantastic sky, a mixture of darkness and green phosphorescence. The world is broken, with only debris floating about. It's like a sky of stardust.
　Perhaps it's because of the floating sensation similar to falling from the sky, but it's hard to put your foot on one of that debris.

　If I stepped off, I would go headlong into the abyss.
　But, strangely enough, I wasn't afraid.
　The world has fallen apart, but the wind is still blowing.

　A soft wind is blowing, and its sound can be heard like a voice.

(--Yes, that's all right. (Reiner)

　It was the sound of the wind, far from being a fleshly voice, but somehow I felt like I could understand what it was saying clearly.
　A very familiar voice passed through both ears.

(The world is not a stinker, but that 'human' connection is the power that can help the boy. Now, then, shall we go together? The knight of my will--Rainer Helvilshein!　(Join us in defeating the Guardians of Light!

　And then the wind that blew in the wind comes back to my body.
　As if that was the place of my return, it was naturally reduced to my magic power.

''This magic power--Hairi-san?　Or is it your brother?　No, it's more of a different--...... woman?

　It was a familiar voice, but the magic power had a feel that he couldn't remember.
　Perhaps it was the mixture of multiple attributes and characteristics of the magic power, but it was impossible to identify the source of the magic power.
　However, one could tell immediately that it was unimportant.

''No, it's still the same or ....... Ah, it doesn't change anyway!　Isn't that what you're saying, guys!

　I call out to everyone in the general population that I rely on.
　Then.

(--, ----!!!!)

　I think the answer came back to me.
　The wind had returned to its magic, so I couldn't hear its voice anymore.
　But sure enough, I felt it nodded back at me.

　As if to prove it, the "Ring of Dimension" that I had been entrusted with from Christ shattered on its own.
　Furthermore, regardless of my intentions, the magic is building up.

　Seeing this, Nosfi murmurs the name of the magic as he explores it.

''This magic, isn't it 《Wind》......?　If you have a "connection" ......?

　I wouldn't know about it, if you had asked.
　This isn't my magic.
　It's just that it's a magic that helps me. That's all you need to know.

It's not ....... Why would you use dimensional magic at ......?

　The wind arm activated a dimensional attribute magic. Nosfi looks at it with an astonished expression.
　The arm of wind that extended from my shoulder pulled out a single sword from the 'empty space'.
　It was a sight I had seen before. It's the same scene as when Christ is using this thing called 'possessions'.
　And I've seen that drawn sword too. Naturally. I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

　--The holy twin swords that were missing are now aligned.

"Ha......, ha ha ha ha ha!　So that's what it was all about!　So the other "vine" was in Hailey's possession!　No, it was in me!

　As I laugh, the magic still continues to work.
　Next, another arm of wind grows on my opposite shoulder. That new arm of wind immediately pulls out the spare sword that is hanging on my waist.
　The two arms of the wind took the 'Holy Twin Swords of the Helvirshain Family, One Wing' as a twin sword in the correct sense of the word.

''Yes, that's right!　We are the Helvillestein, the knights of the twin swords!　Two and two would be the quintessence of it!　The Holy Twin Swords of the House of Helvilleshain is over there!　I'll be using the twin swords I inherited from Miss Rowen!

　I hold up the "Loewen, the Treasure Sword of the House of Alais" and the "Sylph Wolf Bringer" - the demonic twin swords.
　And behind the demon twin swords, the arm of the wind hides the holy twin swords. Inevitably, the arm of the wind overlapped my arm perfectly. Their stances are so perfectly aligned that at first glance, they look like a pair of twin swords.

　I guess he was careful not to interfere with my arm.
　I can tell that he was only trying to assist me.

　Yes, I can see that he is trying to assist me.
　Now, indeed, I am in communication with the arm of the wind.
　My heart trembles at the miracle of it.

　But Nosfi's eyes are grim as he looks at the miracle.

'...... strange (・・・・). This is too strange. Don't tell me you're saying that you've recreated dimensional magic with wind magic?　No, was that conversation just a use of fresh blood magic?　...... Either way, what a mess, what a greedy magic construction--!

　I was biting my lip in frustration in the face of a phenomenon I couldn't agree with.
　I don't understand it either, but I still take a step forward with an expression that is the opposite of Nosfy's.

''-- Let's go, 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light'. This is the true resonance magic, the 'Blood and Soul Resonance', the twin swords of life that tears apart the world!　I call it - the Helvirshine Duolotox!

　Then, as I was taught, I screamed to my heart's content and kicked the ground in the rubble.

'Funny ......!　This is too crazy. ......!

　The battle has resumed.
　But Nosfi still looks incredulous. While muttering, he takes up an interception stance with only his light stick.

　Then my twin swords attack from both sides.
　Nosfi dexterously uses both ends of the light stick to defend against them.

　However, even though he has blocked my twin swords, there is still another twin sword left.
　From the shadow of my twin swords, a new twin sword slides out of the shadow of my twin swords.

''--It's definitely strange, but!　If it's still this good!

　Nosfi had seen through the movement of those new twin swords. He instantly flicked my twin swords with his rod of light, and also blocked the approaching third and fourth deadly blade with both ends of his rod of light.

　As expected of a guardian. It's not a simple matter. Even though he has four times as many moves, he still can't find a way through.

　In that case, what's next--!

WIND ARROW!　Divine Arrow!

　A double flight of basic magic from the tip of the demon's twin swords. It's a no-brainer check. But it's not the magic I've unleashed that's important here.
　The real issue is the magic that follows my magic.

　As I expected, the third and fourth magic is generated from the hidden twin swords as well.
　And there are two Winding Arrows and two Divine Arrows.
　-- A double magic becomes even more double.

''Well, magic is also fourfold!　You do a dexterous imitation!　But if it's some kind of magic, ......,--!

　Nosfi saw the magic and tried to 'offset' it by working on my 'blood' with the light of the flag. However, only my "WIND" and "Divine Arrow" were able to prepare the same magic. The third and fourth spells from the Helvilleshain family's holy twin swords were not able to counteract each other.
　In a hurry, Nosfi knocked down the magic arrows with his stick.

''It's no use, Nosfi!　Our power doesn't flow from the blood!　It's deeper than 'blood' and overflows from the soul of this Helvirshine--!

　It's not my magic, so my 'blood' can't handle it.
　I explain such an obvious thing to Nosfi in a very clear way.

''Ha, ha!　I don't know what that means--!

　However, Nosfi retorts with a bewildered look of incomprehension, and dodges the oncoming magic with her physical skills.

　Finally, I attacked her as she turned to receive it, and I attacked her with a single-minded momentum without mercy.
　The two pairs of twin swords wielded not only from the left and right, but also from the top and bottom, robbing Nosfi's face of room.

''Kuhn, every single taiji is too unique!　It's as if I'm dealing with three of my knights at the same time: ......!　If the function of this sword is--if, nah, then--!

　The light of Nosfi's flag is focused on another part of the flag. The next target was not me or the Blood, but the four swords that we now hold in our hands.
　But then it doesn't matter.
　I am convinced that all of the swords have a definite will in them.
　Even if you can't be sure, you know that this is the will to oppose Nosfy. So I continue to wield my sword without reservation.

'...... Hi, the light doesn't pass through the sword!　How can a mere sword stand against me!　Ahhhhhh!　Oh, God!　Alais, Rands, and Helvirshine!　Those three blasted knights!　As usual, he doesn't listen to me, my Lord, at all!

　Nosfi couldn't get a grip on her sword and swore, a rare occurrence. I've never seen her like that before. Naturally, my mouth loosens.

　Alais, Rands, Helvirshine or .......
　Thank you so much for telling me the names of swords I didn't even know existed.
　The insane intentions that reside in this sylph bringer are called 'Lands'? I will use that information to help you with your sword.
　Oh, and now I'm gonna use it to kill you--!



　He swings his sword until his arm is torn off, trying to reap the life.
　With that, he shouts magic until his throat dies.

''《Zeer-Wind》Oooh!
Ugh!

　Nosfi defends his sword and the storm, dripping sweat.
　He has lost his own absolute advantage and seems to be even more uncompromising in the face of an unidentified force.

　If we want to hunt them down, it's now or never. That's what I thought.
　It's not just that my skills have increased, my magic number has also increased dramatically.

　Now that you have more cards in your hand, remember the counsel of Christ.
　Do what they don't want you to do anyway. Instead of pulling out a common-sense hand, pick something that would baffle Nosfy.
　In this situation, it's best to use a mix of what works and what doesn't work for 'offsetting' with light magic.

''-- "Quartz Bullet", "Zeer Wand"!

　I pull out the crystal magic from Rowen-san and release the wind magic drawn from the 'blood' from the other hand. The wind magic is a strategy to use the wind magic as a decoy and accurately hit the crystal magic.
　The wind arm would surely understand this strategy.

''Deliver it--!

　In response to my expectations, magic is automatically added to the mix.
　Following the crystal and wind bullets, dimensional distortions and sacred arrows are released from the arms of the wind.

　As a result, the dual twin magics of the four attributes, each with a will, attack Nosfi.
　No matter how much of a nose-fie it was, it was not able to defend itself, and an arrow of light snatched the enemy's cheek.
　I'm almost--!

I can do it!　Thank you guys!

　Finally, I was able to hit the attack.
　I shout out my thanks for that.
　And continue to attack with the certainty of victory.

　From the shadow of a twin sword, another twin sword.
　From the shadow of the double magic, another double magic.
　Incessantly, he continues to wield it.
　Each sword quality is different and each magic is independent.

　This is my true strength.
　An advantage because it is a borrowed power.

　That means that Rainer Helvirshein is not alone--!

'Hahahahahahaha!　Next time I'm going to guess--!

　We will continue to be aggressive. I'm not going to let Nosfi fight back anymore. I'm going to push through this.
　I laughed as I kicked the rubble and also used wind magic to fly in all directions through this crazy sky.

　After all, there are still other strengths against Nosfy.
　Looking at that guy's face right now, it's obvious. He was confused by my onslaught, his face contorted as he tried to decide on his next move.

　I'm right.
　There's no doubt about it. Nosufi is weak in a competitive battle.
　He's probably one of the strongest in fights where he doesn't kill his opponent. There is no one on the right who can elevate an overwhelming victory to a complete victory.
　That can be predicted from Hoosiers' lore. According to Hoozeyer's lore, the South has been bloodlessly defeated many times in wars a thousand years ago. All the generals who led the South at that time must have been Nosfy, the 'Banner of Light'.

　You can tell from her fighting style that she is unconsciously trying to capture the opponent first. In any case, the weapons you are handling are not intended to kill or injure, they are also "flags". To be honest, it's not even a weapon, it's a prey.

　In other words, capturing rather than killing. Conversations rather than fights.
　Surely that's the characteristic of the "stealer of the truth of light". And far from a clean game, the fact that it's not good at killing each other, stinking of mud and blood, is also a characteristic of the One Who Steals the Reason of Light!

　Then move away from that nose-fie's strengths.

　Move away from your opponent's ring as much as possible. Even if it's a swing.
　Even if you pretend, the enemy in front of you will not like it.
　Not only will it give you a fighting advantage, it will give you a mental advantage.
　So - and laugh more and more -!

'Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!　I'm not dying, Nosfi!　--Ix-wind-o!

　Leg by leg, he bursts into the wind.
　I abandon my body and focus only on the attack. Laughing with the intention of taking the enemy along for the ride.
　That way of fighting was embarrassingly familiar.

　Yes.
　Thanks to my familiarity, I can move smoothly. Rather than thinking about this and that and fighting, this is my true nature, so it was only natural.

　It's getting a little more fun.
　Now, burn more lives. Take risks.
　Only look at the enemy you have to stab.
　My life is garbage anyway!
　Gomik's trash, trash, trash--!
　Hence the life that is just too good to burn--!

'Haha, hahahaha!　Hahahahahahahahaha--!　Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!　The enemies of my Lord Christ, I, the Lord's knight, will slaughter them all...!

　He dares to recreate the same tension he once had when he fought with Christ on the Lauravian theater ship.
　Furthermore, we will use the movements that were successfully restricted by growth. He will release all that he had been scolded for and held back.

　Naturally, we will use any means to get our blades to reach them.

　Without a doubt, he would have degenerated as a knight protecting someone else. But right now, that degeneration could be a favored move.
　There is no doubt about it when you look at Nosfi's face in front of you.

　Thus, all kinds of disagreeable elements combine for Nosfi, and her face looks as if she's bitten down on a bitter worm.

''-- Oh, as usual, it's disgusting!　Hellville Shine, another messy move!

　Nosfi is stuck in a war zone.
　Even though I'm used to daredevil suicide attacks, it doesn't change the fact that I'm not very good at them. Furthermore, it's probably because of the promise I made to Lord that it's hard for him to hurt me. The counterattack has stopped completely.

　I know it's my fault too.
　It's a common way for knights to fight.
　But this killing contest is my field, so it can't be helped: ......!
　Because, worst of all, even if it's a phase match, I'm happy with it: ......!　Haha!
　Oh, I really miss it. And it's refreshing. The fact that my true nature, undermined by everyone as a bad habit, is effective against a powerful opponent in Nosfi!　That's hilarious and excruciating: ......!
　And then the hilarity spills out of my mouth.

'Dying--neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ----!

　The bout between Nosfi and I was getting more and more caustic in every way.
　And really, little by little, I was starting to push Nosfi.

　I'm weaker than Nosfi, that's for sure.
　But because I only fight with the help of various people, I can do things my opponent doesn't like from a wide range of hands.
　I don't stick to specializing in self-destruction as I once did, but that doesn't mean I only value life as Christ taught.
　My true power is to use my power, my attributes, my characteristics, my mind and everything else - depending on the situation!

　And - after that forceful onslaught, he finally manages to push off.

''Kuu--!

　Nosfi acknowledged the disadvantage and jumped back in a big way.

'Hah, hah, hah ......!　Ha, ha, ha, ha ......!

　I let out a breath that smells of blood and laugh at the fleeing Nosfies.
　I leisurely peer at my opponent's exit and flaunt the fact that I have the advantage.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

''It's ...... kooky. It's very hard to fight. And those eyes. It's a descendant of Helvirshine, after all. No matter how much you stop it, it won't stop. They have no intention of stopping from the beginning, so they ignore the Lord's command at all costs. They say it's for the Lord's sake, and they defy the Lord without a care in the world. --They are the eyes of a mad warrior!

　Apparently, my Helvilleshain ancestors had a similar personality. It's an interesting coincidence, even though I'm an adopted child and not related to them by blood.
　Strangely enough, I can't help but laugh from the bottom of my stomach.

''Kukku, kukku, hahahahahaha!

　Nosfi saw my smile and frowned. Apparently, he misunderstood that I was happy to be called a madman. He looks at me like he's looking at filth and takes another step away from me.

'You can go along with that messy killing spree, but the fact is that I'm not good at it ....... I just don't want to get killed in case I get killed .......

　As he moves away, mumbling, Nosfy sorts out the current situation.

　In case I don't want to be killed by me ......?
　It's a natural thought. I'm sure you'll be able to get a great deal more out of it than just a single guardian, but Nosephee is different. I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it. I'm sure anyone would hate that end.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's a good idea to be able to have a good time. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it. On top of that, you have a resistance to mental pollution.

　The more she muttered, the more calm she became. Apparently, this seems to be the way to stabilize her spirit.

''However, if you use the 'Curse' of 'The One Who Steals the Light's Reason', you will not be able to prove your feelings for Uzurinami-sama. That's absolutely no good. But it's also no good if you do the 'chanting' of the light and regain the conscience (morals) you've worked so hard to shave off. It's no good if you turn into a 'half corpse'. But you can't do anything in depth here. ...... Oh my god, this is--

　Nosfi takes a deep breath and exhales heavily.
　Then he sticks his own weapon, the flag, into one of the rubble and says the best words you're probably thinking right now.

'Oh my god, this is crazy (・・・・・・). It's too funny (・・・・) ......, too funny (・・・・) ...... to be taken out of such an unlikely winner!

　I look around, not at me, the enemy, but at my surroundings, trying to find the cause of the weirdness (・・・・). And then, having found the clue to the cause, its gaze eventually fixes on the magic in the palm of its hand.

'After all, I still feel some kind of magical interference ....... Is the color of this attribute more of a whirlpool-wave, rather than a Helvilleshain?　Is that also the object of magic not a person but a space ......?　When and where--no, what kind of magic is it that I can't detect: ......?

　It seems that Christ's assistance was provided without my knowledge. The only thing that comes to mind is the "chanting" and the dimensional magic "Realize" that I did before the battle. That thing that the Lord said was a strengthening magic is likely to have led us to this situation.

　It's really a battle I've been relying on, I laugh.
　But now, rather than being ashamed of it, I felt proud of it for some reason.

'And that's your face: ....... I don't understand. Oh, I still don't think I'm cut out for battle ....... I don't understand the way these battle crazies think at all.

　Nosfi showed a look of disgust that was beyond disgusting.
　After that line, he glanced backwards.

　Seeing that gesture - I get impatient.
　Maybe I went a little too far. If that was a confirmation of the retreat, it's going to be a little troublesome.

"Eh, hey, ....... Don't tell me you're going to run away from me, ......?

　I hadn't had the idea to bypass it.
　I had become convinced that someone as good as Nosfy would never be afraid of a piece of trash like me.

'What? Please don't call yourself a trueborn now. ...... Let's admit it. Rainer Helvillestein is strong. Although the color is a little different, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the second coming of that Fafner Helvilleshain. So, I'm going to make a run at this one. I don't want to get involved in anything other than a fight that I can absolutely win.

　Unexpectedly, I was acknowledged by 'the one who steals the reason for the light'.
　And at the same time as he said that, Nosfi kicked the rubble and tried to leave the battlefield.

''Wait!　Let him go!

　I chase after it in a hurry.

"--[Light]

　In response, Nosfi waved his flag and flashed a light.
　It was a simple distraction, but it was an effective means in escape.

　For a moment, but only for a moment, he was robbed of his vision, and in the meantime, he was kept at a distance.

　In the midst of the gravity-crazed world, Nosfi dexterously kicked the debris to move. The destination is probably the battlefield with Lord and Christ.
　If I continue like this, they'll join us even though we've succeeded in splitting up.

　In a hurry, I'm trying to build a magic for movement--


　--then a 'meteor' falls in the distance.


　This wide, dark world was torn apart by a blue line.
　It was followed by a shock that was enough to make the body float. Not only the strong wind, but the ripples caused by the dimensional distortions spread like a ripple to the world.

''Wha--?
Shucks!

　The same was true for the Nosfies ahead of them as they were struck by the impact.
　Apparently, this was unexpected for Nosfi as well.
　I'm glad to see another accident to my advantage, and I immediately pounce on the out-of-body Nosphy.

"Your opponent is me!　Nosfy!
'You are disgusting!　Stay away from me!

　My twin swords and Nosfi's light sticks are struck against each other.
　If Nosfi won't fight me properly, then I have no choice but to give up on victory and stay on my feet. Instead of defeating him by abandoning him, he switches his fighting style and strikes at each other in order to fight to block the way.

　Once this happens, the advantage will be reversed.
　Nosfi's retreat is deft, and inch by inch our battlefield is getting closer to Christ.
　But my luck is not over yet.


　--The next step after the 'meteor' was the 'tornado'.


　Something like a huge tornado broke out in the direction of where Christ and his friends would be.
　The reason we can't call it a tornado is because the scene was so strange.
　The tornado emitted a greenish light and its dimensions began to distort in an attempt to keep certain loose objects in the world at bay.
　That's right.
　The wind is not blowing, but something similar to that tornado is being created as a result of the magic power bouncing off the world.

　Seeing this, Nosfi changes his blood color.

''No way, Lord!　You don't have to go that far!　It's unfinished and dangerous!

　I shouted until the battle was interrupted.
　And I agreed with the enemy's nosephew's opinion.

'Is this, well, magic, ......?'

　Danger (...) - that was so unusual that everyone could see it.

　Without a doubt, it was not a tornado.
　If I had to describe it, a cocoon of wind?　No, the tube?　

　I know because I'm a knight of the wind.
　That thing is no longer an easy thing to wind.
　The wind's magic is too dense and materialized. Its presence is too heavy and the world is distorted.

　--then it's like .......

　That's right. I know something similar.
　In that one, that cocoon is already the size of a star - a 'magic stone'.

'Lord!　Please bear with me until I go!

　Nosfi, who came back to himself first, tries to run towards Suisei's 'magic stone'.
　I follow him and come to my senses.

　My guess is that Christ and Lord are fighting inside that huge magical stone - there's no room for either of them. Looking at that great magic, I can be sure of that.
　It's even more dangerous to intervene in such a situation with this malevolent Nosphy.

　Most of all, Christ has ordered me to stay put. Lord said he would take care of it.
　As a knight, I believe in the word of the Lord.
　Then what I will do now is--!

'The Lord asked me to do it!　You're not going anywhere.　Nosfiiiiiiiiiiiiii ---- ！！！！　

　I'm not going to allow you to run in there.

'Oh, you're really creepy!　You're in my way, sir!　Lineaaaaahhhh: ---- ！！！！

　Revealing his deepest disgust, Nosfi shouts back.

　-- and my challenge to "The One Who Steals the Reason of Light" is coming to an end.
