"d*mn. ......"

　It is impossible to attack an iron knight with a shield.

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

　I was struggling against their massive iron wall defense.

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

　I searched for a chance to win the battle by utilizing my magical power to the maximum and fighting at high speed.

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

　However, my opponent had been able to handle all of my attempts.

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

　Faster.

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

　Or stronger.

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

　I felt that to beat him I simply needed to be stronger.

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

　I may not have mastered all the kensei moves that Ai taught me, but I don't think I'm as good as the Iron Knight in the way I use my body.

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

　In fact, he has won when he does not have his shield.

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

　I think that it is more a simple difference in strength that is causing us to struggle now.

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

　I don't know if the magic-armored soldiers have physical strength or not, but at least the output their iron armor produces is more than my strength.

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

　Maybe it has something to do with my weight or something.

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

　When sword and shield clash, I am always the one who is pushed down.

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

　I need more power.

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

　It can be magic or physical power.

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

　Why am I still a child?

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

　I thought so as I fought.

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

　If I had an adult body, I could beat him.

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

　Thinking like that won't solve anything.

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

　I drive away the thoughts that pop into my head as I manipulate the sword.

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

　Then I thought again about what I can do.

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

　Even if I can't grow up right now, there are things I can do.

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

　I think hard to find a way to win against this guy.

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

"...... help me out, Mr. Byte."

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

　At that time, Mr. Byte came to my mind.

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

　He was a hero who had served on many battlefields alongside Ars.

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

　It was the same Byte Brother who first taught me how to fight.

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

　He taught me something when I was even younger than I am now.

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

　It was about the effects of his magic.

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

　Strengthening of armament.

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

　It was a magic that he had created, a magic that strengthened weapons using magic power.

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

　It is a magic that can strengthen the attack power of even an ordinary metal sword by covering it with magic power, and is easy to use on the battlefield.

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

　I can't use this spell [Strengthen Arms].

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

　But just because I can't use the spell like in the case of [Meditation], it doesn't mean that I can't do the same kind of things.

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

　Even now, I am able to increase the attack power of the hard-fang sword somewhat by putting magic power on it.

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

　The strength of the effect may not yet be as strong as the [Strengthening of Armament] that Byte's brother made, but it was something that could be done.

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

　But there was something we had not done yet.

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

　That was to use the [Strengthening Armament] not for weapons but for armor.

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

　Strengthening Armor] is a simple magic, but it is not just a magic to make weapons stronger.

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

　For example, it can strengthen a shield instead of a sword.

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

　I have heard that the knights of Baltic who were named by Baito's brother were able to defend themselves against Thanatos' attack by overlapping several shields that had been strengthened.

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

　I am not holding a shield now.

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

　All I hold in my hand is my hard sword.

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

　But it does not mean that I do not have armor.

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

　But you have something better than a shield!

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

　Oni armor!

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

　This armor has an unusual feature that its size changes according to the size of the wearer.

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

　That's the reason why Ars-san took the trouble to give me his secondhand armor on my way to the labyrinth.

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

　But that is not the only effect of the Oni Armor.

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

　Wearing the devil's armor makes you more powerful.

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

　Not only does it change the size of the armor, but it also has such an effect.

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

　Why didn't I pay attention to that before?

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

　What would happen if we strengthen this armor with magic power?

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

　Does it simply increase the defense of the armor?

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

　Or, perhaps .......

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

　The moment such a thought popped into my head, I took action.

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

　Using not only the magic power that I had kneaded, but also the magic power that I had stored in the drop-shaped magic stone in my stomach, I sent the magic power to the demon armor.

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

　I poured my own magic power into the demon armor to the extent that the armor was covered with my own magic power, and I maintained the armor so that it was surrounded by magic power.

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

"I can go to ......."

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

　The effect was dramatic.

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

　My body felt light.

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

　And I felt even stronger than before.

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

　It was as if my whole body was overflowing with power.

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

　Before and after the reinforcement of the Oni Armor, my body movement was obviously different.

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

　Just by taking a step, my speed to move forward is different, and when I swing my sword, the sound of it splitting the air is also different.

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

　Perhaps, this Oni Armor raises the basic ability of the wearer to a higher level.

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

　I did not understand the logic behind the increase in power just by wearing the armor, but I guess that it does not assist the wearer's movement, but rather, increases his or her physical abilities.

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

　That's why there was a big difference when I strengthened my body by the magic power after I strengthened the demon armor.

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

　Until then, the flow of magic power had been improving the movement of the body.

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

　It seems that it became even more efficient.

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

　Even if I am applying the same kind of magic power to various parts of my body, the strength produced from it is different.

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

　This probably has something to do with the fact that Ai said that the strengthening of the body by magic power is not an addition but a multiplication.

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

　By strengthening the demon armor with magical power, the power and speed that can be produced are definitely different from before.

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

　This way, we can win.

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

　I can win against the Iron Knight, whom I had been struggling against until then.

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

　I couldn't help but smile with happiness as I stood in front of my opponent.
