"Shoooooo ......!

I'm not sure what to make of this.
It seems that the speed ...... of the body has not only been strengthened, but has also become stronger and larger by eating the creatures around it.
But no matter how enhanced it is, it's still just a zel. If I fought it normally, it would kill me instantly. ......

I'm not sure what to say. Good luck!

I'm not sure what to do.
Renton thinks I'm his father. He can't just kill me instantly. It's too much to ask after all the struggles he's had.
I have to win the fight as naturally as possible, without any sense of discomfort.
Oh man, this is gonna be hard.

"Shaaa!

Zell attacked me, unaware of my difficulties.
I swung the spear in my hand to cut off the tentacles.
The tentacles that had fallen to the ground were disappearing in droplets.

"Gishi......?

Zell, whose attack was easily blocked, seemed to be confused.
I'm not sure what to do.
It looked a little unnatural. ......?

"Oh! I'm not sure what to say. You're moving so differently than before!

But Renton didn't seem to notice at all, and cheered for me.
But Renton doesn't seem to notice and cheers.
I'm not sure what to do.

I walk up to Zell with ease.
Zell swings his tentacles at me to keep me away, but I slash them all away as I go.
One step, then two, then three, and I'm right on Zell.
I look up slowly, and Zell squeals louder than ever.

"Shhhhhhhhhh!

With a roar, a tentacle ---- shot out from his body, and that was his last stand.
I swung out my spear at once, and the slash split Zell's body in half, up and down.
But it's not over yet.
I aimed at the core of the eye that had escaped to the top, and this time I swung my spear down.
You can't defeat this kind of irregularly shaped demon unless it has a core somewhere in its body that can be destroyed.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ---- A flash of lightning split Zell's body into a cross and the core also broke in half.
I watched as the core shattered into pieces and slammed my spear into the ground with all my might.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!　and a shockwave blew up, causing a huge cloud of dust to rise.

A huge cloud of dust rises up.
This way, Renton and the others can't see us.

I'll just go to ...... while I can.

I take off my armor and put it back on my father.
I hide behind a tree before the smoke clears.

"Father!

And then, without a care in the world, I run up to him.
I picked him up and told him to be careful.
I'm super busy.
Renton and Amira come running after me.

"Dad!　Are you okay?
...... hmmm, what the ...... hell ......

My father wakes up, holding his head.
Renton hugged his father, who was in a daze, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

"Dad! That's great! That's awesome! I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
I'm going to ...... the demon?

"Yes, Master Daryl.

"Yes, Master Daryl, you defeated that demon. Maybe because you were so absorbed, you don't seem to remember.

Amira adds to that. Nice follow-up.

"Yeah, that's great, Dad. I'm surprised that you were able to defeat such a demon.

I'll give you a little extra credit.

"That's right! I was blown up and thought I was going to die, but then I got up and killed the demon with one blow!
Probably because we were there, he couldn't show his strength.
Dad, you were so cool!

Yeah, that's my scenario.
I'll pretend to be my father, defeat the demon, and then pretend that it was my unconscious father who did it.

............

He looked at us with envy and listened to our words with a puzzled look on his face.

"Gahaha! You're right, you're right!

I knew it.
I knew it, I knew that's what my father would do.
Thank God my father is so simple.
My father laughed and sat back down.

"Of course, the reason you looked like you were struggling was to draw the demon's attention to me! When I saw that you guys had escaped, I finally decided to fight for real!
"Oh! I knew it! That jumonji slash was amazing!
"Yes, indeed! That's the Onion Cross, a secret technique passed down in my family for generations!

...... What the hell is the "Demon Cross"?
It's just a random attack that just happened to turn into a cross slash.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"The Demon Cross! That's cool!
"Yeah! I know, right?


"Yeah, yeah! The spear is squishy! It's really squishy!

Renton's words made my father look at his spear.
The spear couldn't withstand my attack and was bent limp.
Sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to offend you.

"......, oh no. I'll get yelled at by the captain. ......
"Well, well, well, you fought to protect us. I'm sure the captain will forgive you.
I hope so. ......

The father looked depressed and let out a big sigh.
