"I'll be d*mned.　Is that a magic sword? ....... And you're not just physically strong, either. How did you do that?"

It's none of your business. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands.

"Hmm. Well, to be honest, I don't have a lot of time for the unexpected. Ars, I think it was a mistake to lure you out here, thinking I'd take you alive."

　I left Bite brother to Vargas and headed for Raymond.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were not that far away from each other, and soon we were close enough that we could talk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Again Raymond approached me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Again, he takes his time to place other knights around us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but apparently not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are a few knights following close by, but they are not moving and Raymond is the only one moving his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems that when he turned back into the army in a hurry when I started to charge, he was trying to lure me out of the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that certainly worked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I had been the child I seemed to be, and if the Barka villagers had been weaker and pushed back on the front lines.

　Raymond's claim that he did not run away should not be judged as a careless bluff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raymond has more magical power than the knights who have more magical power than the peasants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is indeed the vizier of the Fontana family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be impossible to organize the knights only by being smart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should consider that he is also a man of ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is something else that concerns me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Raymond's sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He says my hard-tipped sword is a magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I wonder if it's the same with his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The surface of Raymond's sword glows blue-white.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think it's just a metal sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could see it from my vision, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword itself has tremendous magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It has more magic than a hard-tusk sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what my instincts tell me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gave you my last advice. But you turned your blade on me, Ars. It's a disgrace to the House of Fontana. It will not be tolerated. I'm afraid this is where I must leave you."

　Raymond says something and holds the sword in his hand with both hands, readying it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing this, I injected magic power into the hard-fang sword again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I'm going to do is the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will defeat Raymond here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I go toward Raymond who has the sword that reflects the sun's rays.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm going to take him down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One blow, one kill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I poured my magic power into the Hard Fang Sword as if I was risking everything on the first blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let the hardening ability come out as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I cut at Raymond with the hardened hard sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He snapped Raymond's sword and cut him down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My hard sword clashed with Raymond's sword and shattered his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ice ......, ice sword!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, behold the power of the Ice Spirit Sword!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not the sword itself that I thought I had shattered, but the ice that extended from the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ice Spirit Sword, that seems to be the name of the sword Raymond holds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it has the same effect as the Hard Fang Sword, that is, it produces ice on its body when magic power is poured into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not just ice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a sword of ice with a sharp edge, capable of cutting opponents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was created as if it was extended beyond the original length of the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even as a child I have a short reach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet his sword is getting longer and longer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I clash with the hard sword I'm swinging with all my might, I can break the ice, but it will come right back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this rate, we are losing ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just when I was thinking that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the first time in several rounds, I was unable to block Raymond's thrusts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it wasn't my body that was hit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The tip of the beast I was riding was impaled on the beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Cue!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was in the wrong place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the thigh of the hind leg.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice sword pierced there, and the beast was thrown off its posture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then came a powerful swing from Raymond.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He manages to block the attack by raising his hard sword above his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he was completely defeated by the force of the blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was thrown off the back of the beast by the force of the swing from directly above, using gravity as my ally.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raymond is stronger than I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not just the existence of a magical sword called the Hyousei Ken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's able to hold his own against me, who's strengthened by magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this world, we're at war with these ridiculous superhumans?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how my father survived until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there was no time to think about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I fell to the ground and just as I managed to get up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raymond, mounted on his beast of burden, was approaching me quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was that one of the Valkyries I had presented to him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mounted it and swung my sword, letting the speed of the Valkyrie's gallop carry my sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The length of the ice sword produced by the ice sword was already quite long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is impossible to dodge or block it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Scattershot ！！！！！"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I abandoned evasion and went on the offensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My target is not Raymond, but the leg of the Valkyrie that Raymond is riding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know how fast the Valkyrie is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ride her every day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raymond's right front foot of the Valkyrie hit the ground just as the Valkyrie's right front foot touched the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyrie species does not have the defensive capabilities of a big boar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyrie, which was moving at high speed, was suddenly hit by a flying object on its right foot, causing it to stumble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fact that the length of the ice sword had been extended also had an effect on the Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Valkyrie was swinging the longer blade sideways, Valkyrie, who is the key to the maneuver, lost his posture and the tip of the ice sword hit the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a thud, the Valkyrie that Raymond was riding falls over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, Raymond was also thrown to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The situation is now back to square one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ran toward Raymond, who had missed his best chance to attack, as only one of us was riding the Valkyrie.
