With the start of the battle, Gordo's name was unlocked.
　《Golden Knight of Illusion, Gordo Lv. 99》. He may not be at full strength, but the knight in front of him is on the verge of hitting the three-digit mark.
　The nine knights he has fought so far have averaged less than lvl 60. If you think about it, Gordo is much stronger than those knights.

　He stepped in and swung down from the upper level.
　The moment you prepare a counter strike to match the relatively slow speed of the sword, the blade will reach your neck before you know it.

''Ah!

　I couldn't counter in time. I hit the belly of the sword with the attack I was about to unleash, and moved away as if I were being flipped off.

'Well, that's a good decision.

'Well said.

　The loose attack, which at first glance was easy to counter, was apparently a decoy to invite the counter.
　The position of the sword changed as if it had warped.
　I thought it was some kind of skill, but I've seen this kind of phenomenon before. Maybe it's just a skill.

"There, there!　I'm still going!

'Hmph, hmph, okay!

'Haha, nice!　You handle it well!

　As I cautiously took the attacks that kept coming, I understood why Gordo had been given a name like "Illusion".
　Gordo's strength was his frighteningly fluid change in sword speed.
　The speed of the sword fluctuates so naturally that no signs of an attack can be seen.
　While his eyes were calculating the approximate speed of the attack after recognizing it, Gordo's sword must have been changing its speed at a dizzying pace.
　While the information seen by the eyes is being processed in the brain, the eyes are already capturing different information.
　As a result, the movements of Gordo deviate from the prediction anyway.

　Such discrepancies in perception lead to confusion in your thoughts, and you start to lose sight of Gordo's movements.
　It's an illusion. Despite his rough and uncomplicated character, his swordplay was terrifyingly nasty and, above all, skillful.

　Nevertheless, it's no good if you can't do anything for a long time.
　He timed his fights calmly and carefully, and just as his sword fights exceeded ten, a small gap was created.

'Now!

　I dove into Gordo's bosom in front of the large swing that I had gradually induced as I continued to receive a series of blows.
　Too close for me to wield a weapon?
　No, it doesn't matter.
　I let go of Kagewumi and slammed a straight right into the belly of Gordo's armor as hard as I could.

'Seryaaaah!

Aah!

　A tremendous thud!　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.


　I picked up Kagesue and exploded with agility at Gordo, who had lost his stance.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help.

"Oh, laaa!

　I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you have.
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. However, because I landed gently, he was already in a good position.
　You can't ...... chase him. You can't read his movements well enough to create an opening and attack him yourself.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.

I'm a demon.　It's too heavy!

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not so sure about that for me right now.

　The Shadow Stitch is a 200+ weapon, probably one of the highest muscle requirements of any current weapon.
　At the time I was given this weapon, my muscle strength value was on the edge of the requirement, and at the time, it was certainly a heavy weapon with a comfortable weight.
　However, in the past week or so, I've jumped up nearly 20 levels, and with all of my bonus points, my strength has reached a whopping 300+.
　For me, this weapon is already in the 'light' category now.

'On the contrary, Gordo is not as powerful as he looks. ......'

'Compared to you, most of them are underpowered, you idiot!

'No, ......, but I know people who are more loved for their power. ......'

　I think of Amber, the most power-loving being in the world, the power-holder.
　I can see it now. I'm sure that her strength value is well over four digits.
　I don't feel like I'm getting any closer to her, even though I'm over 300.

'My weapons won't last if I have to fight with that thing. Let's get serious for a minute.

'Fine. I'll take it all.

　Instantly, Gordo's figure blurred.
　I couldn't get a good look at him with my eyes.
　It's almost as if he can't focus.
　Gordo's agility is definitely higher than before, but I have a feeling this is more than just that.
　Bottom line, I don't know. Then let's not try to catch it.

"Duh!

'Huh!

　At the moment of attack, avoid the attack completely by reflex only.
　Do not aim to counter. The only thing you can do is to keep your distance and watch.
　Gordo's figure begins to blur again.


　I'm not going to stop following it with my eyes. I just give up to a certain extent.

　Suddenly Gordo's figure disappeared completely.
　Completely out of sight, you mean.

'Yes!

'Yes, and back at you!

　He dodged a slash from behind with a sidestep and turned around to fire an iron ball.
　I'm not sure if I was expecting a flying weapon, but the ball itself hit Gordo.
　However, his full-body armor was no match for him, and he was mercilessly hit with only a small amount of HP loss.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

'...... I see, I have an idea.'

　There are two reasons why I can't catch sight of him.
　The first is that Gordo is using the same change in speed for movement that he used to use for sword speed.
　In other words, he is now moving in an uncanny way, taking steps with irregular speed changes to distract your line of sight.
　In addition, his high agility value, which is probably 1.5 times higher than that of me in my red wolf costume, also contributes to the cause.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Hey!

　You'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic on the web.

'Chipmunk......'

'Ha!

'Guh!

　The sword that was swung out of the back of his hand bites into his body.
　You'll be able to find a lot of people who have a lot of experience in this field.

　Yes, another reason is the sound.
　I had been so distracted by the swordplay that I hadn't noticed it at all, but Gordo's movements were silent, despite the fact that he was wearing such luxurious armor.
　Moreover, at the beginning of the attack, Gordo had dared to make a sound when he attacked, so I had imprinted on my mind that 'Gordo makes a sound when he attacks.
　The result of this is that I was hit now. Even if you understand the theory, the fact that you were hit by a bullet does not change.
　Sight and hearing. By disrupting the functions of two of the five senses, I was completely trapped in Gordo's magic.

　Now, what to do?
　The information I could see was useless, and the sounds I could hear were impossible to determine if they were real or not.
　The sense of smell alone is no way to secure information in this high-speed combat, and the same goes for the senses of taste and touch.

'Good ......, I've been waiting for a fight like this.'

　I muttered to myself, wetting my lips.
　I've been tired of hunting the little monsters.
　It would be a shame not to have fun when you finally find someone you can enjoy playing with.

　That's right. Don't worry about it.
　Fighting is supposed to be fun.
　Increase your concentration. My limits shouldn't be this low.


　The first step is to solve the problem of vision.

　If you can't see, you should be able to see.

　We don't see the change in speed.
　There's no need to make predictions if they're useless.
　Just look at the world as it is.
　If you put everything into your perception, your vision will be infinite.

'Oh, yes. I can see you.

　You see a sword swinging silently from behind you at an angle to the right.
　As if to kill it, I activated my fastest arts.

　I ran the shortest distance in a straight line, the fastest I could.
　It's so simple that it's ridiculous to even call it a technique, and yet it's an effective move.
　It is, in other words, a thrust.

'Instant Thrust'!

Haha!

　He turned around, ran through the shortest distance, and stabbed Kagewumi into Gordo's throat.
　The thorns of Kagewo bite in with a cracking sound.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

'Not yet!

　At the same time, he pulled his outstretched body tightly and kicked out his left leg as if he were pushing out with an explosion of muscle power in his right leg.
　The kick, like a yakuza kick, sinks into his body and blows his body out of the air.
　Boom!　Gordo was blown up to the wall with a thud, but he still stood up almost undaunted.
　But of course, he was not unharmed. You can find a lot more information on this topic on the web.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Give me a little more, I thought I could upset you. ......

'Haha, it's been a long time since I've had a clean hit. So I was having fun.

'Huh, fighting maniac. ...... Well, fighting is fun, isn't it? I'll give you that, Skuna. I think I'm going to enjoy fighting with you even more.

　I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun," he said, his words sincere and different from the slightly frivolous way Gordo had spoken earlier.
　I'm not going to be able to do it.
　A golden aura rises from his armor. It must be a buff to strengthen himself, like my hungry wolf.

'Huh. ......'

　I exhale, close my eyes, and open them.
　This is where the battle begins.
　As Gordo takes on his aura, I trace the pattern and clasp my hands together.



　Rare skill "Demon Dance" for demon tribe.
　The "Weeping Demon Dance" is dedicated.

'I'm going to be serious from here on out.

'Yes, I'll go all out, too.

　Released at a strength value of 300, the Fourth Ceremony of the Demon Dance.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　You'll be able to get a lot more out of it.
