"Come on!"

　Riding a Valkyrie, he runs toward Pesci, who stands before him, and swings his weapon.

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

　In his hand is the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　In his hand is the Nine-Tailed Sword, a magical sword that once belonged to an old Uruk general.

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

　The magical power injected by the infusion of magical power causes a flaming sword to emerge from the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　This flaming sword is longer than the actual sword itself, and although it has the shape of a sword, it is essentially a mass of flame.

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

　Even if the opponent tries to attack with the sword, the sword will slip through the opponent's sword.

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

　And the flames would burn the opponent's body.

"Hurrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

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

　Pessi blocked the flaming sword, even though he was

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

　With his left hand, he blocked the flames from the nine-tailed sword.

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

　It is not impossible.

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

　In fact, we had predicted that this might happen.

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

　But when I actually saw it, I must say that it was a fearsome defense.

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

　The Titan of Atmos, the warrior of Atmos, whom I had fought before, had withstood the attack of this nine-tailed sword as well.

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

　However, when I was in a dispute with a neighboring knight lord, I slashed his knight with the flame of this nine-tailed sword and he was killed instantly.

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

　I wonder if the amount of magic power makes such a difference in defense.

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

　Or perhaps Vargas is similar.

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

　He had improved his defense by gathering magic power in his skin.

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

　I remember that when I fought Vargas, I was hit by a scattering of bullets, but I was not harmed.

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

　Unlike Vargas, Pesci wears metal armor.

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

　If Pesci is using the same kind of magical power to raise the defensive strength of his metal armor, then his defense would not be limited to magic alone.

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

　In other words, there is a good chance that a normal slash with a sword would not even result in a scratch.

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

"You're not just dealing with Ars!"

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

　I was thinking about this when I saw Pesci blocking a nine-tailed sword attack.

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

　After my attack, Baito's brother launched his next attack.

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

　It was the Thunderbolt Sword.

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

　Moreover, just like when he entered the enemy's camp, he poured his own magic power into the Thunderbolt Sword instead of injecting magic power into it.

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

　It seems that the more magic power he pours into the Thunderbolt Sword, the more powerful it becomes.

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

　A thunderbolt that flashes and flashes appears on the blade of the Thunderbolt Sword, and it is directed toward Pesci.

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

　Furthermore, the attack by the Bite Brother was not a lightning strike as before.

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

　He tried to cut Pesci with the lightning sword with the lightning strike on its blade.

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

　With that sword, he might be able to deliver an electric shock directly into the body from the place he had injured with his lightning sword.

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

"Oh. You really have the Thunderbolt of Arbalest? When you told me, I thought it was just a silly lie."

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

You're the Nine-Tailed Sword. I'll take that one too.

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

"Impossible. I'll take it from you.

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

　A powerful blow from Baito's brother.

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

　I thought that if he could do that, he would be able to damage Pesci, but it was not to be.

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

　But it was not to be, because Pesci blocked the Bite Brother's attack.

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

　However, he did not stop it with his hand like he did with my attack earlier.

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

　It was the nine-tailed sword.

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

　Pesci also has the Nine-Tailed Sword.

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

　The nine-tailed sword blocked the attack of the Bite brother's thunderbolt sword.

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

　They clash with each other like a sword-to-sword duel, but the thunderbolt of the Bite Brother's sword is already gone.

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

　It seems that the thunderbolt was extinguished in the fierce clash.

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

　The nine-tailed sword may have contained enough magic power to cancel the thunderbolt.

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

"Mr. Byte, get away from me!

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

　And now Leon joins them.

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

　He did not, however, cut into the fray.

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

　Unlike his brother Bite, Leon attacked from a long distance with a thunderbolt of his thunderbolt sword.

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

　As soon as the Bite Brother hears Leon's voice and moves away, the thunderbolt strikes Pesci.

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

　However, it did not seem to do much damage.

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

"You're wearing metal armor, so aren't you vulnerable to electric attacks or something?"

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

"Too bad, boy. I would never wear mere armor. Did you think I was unequipped for the head of a noble family?"

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

　Maybe they have armor that is resistant to magical attacks?

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

　If there is such a thing, I'd like to have it.

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

　I mean, now that I think about it, the head of Arbalest didn't wear any armor.

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

　I think he only wore some kind of robe.

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

　Maybe he didn't consider the possibility of being approached.

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

　Or maybe I was simply careless, but we will never know now.

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

"Well, playtime is over, boys. It's time to show them the difference. Especially you, Ars. You don't deserve that nine-tailed sword. I'll show you how to use it properly.

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

"Hey ......, seriously?"

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

　Pesci, who had prevented all three of us from attacking.

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

　Pesci is about to move into attack position.

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

　However, even though he has the same nine-tailed sword as I do, he is clearly going to attack in a different way than I did.

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

　It was the Black Flame.

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

　Just when I thought Pesci had put magic power into the nine-tailed sword, a black flame appeared from the blade.

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

　It was a normal flame when I used it, so why was it different?

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

　But this is no time to complain.

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

　The black flame is too dangerous.

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

　I was thinking that if the attack of the nine-tailed sword that Pesci uses is the same as mine, we can use our magic power for defense just like he did.

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

　However, this is not the case with [Black Flame].

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

　That black flame would not disappear until the target was burned up.

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

　What would happen if he received even a single blow from such a thing?

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

　You know the result even before you try it.

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

"Burn up!"

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

　Pesci with its irresistible attack.

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

　It seems he's not the type to rest on his magical laurels.

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

　He's probably trained in martial arts as well.

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

　He raised his nine-tailed sword straight up to the sky and swung it down without hesitation, slashing at me in a fluid motion.

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

　This guy is strong.

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

　I have to admit that he is definitely stronger than any of us.

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

　He stands above the other knights as a nobleman of this world.

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

　How can we beat him?

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

　How's the magic?

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

　No.

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

　Pesci has more magic than me.

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

　He's better with a sword.

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

　Then what else is there?

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

　Something I have and he doesn't.

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

　Something that can knock him out of his stride?

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

　Magic comes to my mind.

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

　It's what has kept me alive in this world, and it's the only weapon I have that has kept me from dying.

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

　But no.

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

　My magic is earth-based and has no offensive power.

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

　I can't outrun Pesci just by building walls.

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

　I thought of improvising stone projectiles, but decided against it.

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

　It is hard to believe that I can win against an opponent whose attacks with the Nine-Tailed Sword and the Thunderbolt Sword will not work by sending stones at him now.

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

　He thinks fast because he's been working up the magic in his body.

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

　He can think of many things before Pesci's blow is struck.

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

　But there is no definitive right answer.

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

　I don't have it.

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

　There is a way to beat him. .......

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

　Just as I was thinking that, I caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye.

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

　The other weapon I carry on my hip.

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

　When I noticed it, I acted unconsciously.

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

"Sh!"

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

　I take my hand away from the nine-tailed sword in my right hand.

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

　He gripped the weapon at his waist with his right hand and the sheath of the weapon with his left hand.

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

　Then he runs the weapon as if sliding it inside the scabbard, and with the same momentum, he not only draws the weapon but also attacks it.

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

　With a series of movements, he slashes at Pesci's nine-tailed sword, which is covered with a [black flame].

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

"......Gah! I'm a ...... idiot ....... You canceled the black flame?

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

Sorry. I win.

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

　My attack was a head-on slash against a swinging attack by Pesci.

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

　It was not Pesci who won there, but me.

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

　Pesci's nine-tailed sword was knocked out of his hand, and Pesci's body on the other side of the sword was also cut.

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

　The armor that protected Pesci from the attack of the Thunderbolt Sword was also cut, and blood was pouring out of Pesci's body inside the armor.

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

　Pesci is unable to accept the reality of the situation, even after seeing his own condition.

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

　But there was no way I would miss such a crucial moment.

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

　With a further attack, I took Pesci down.
