（Hey, kid. What's with this babes?　You're not human. I don't smell blood.)

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

（Yes, the Eye is not human. She controls a humanoid called a deity.)

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

(Ho. There is such a thing in our time? The world has changed so much.)

　We meet up with Ai and walk through the labyrinth again.

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

　At that time, Norn sent me a thought.

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

　I hear what Norn wants to say in my head.

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

　To which I responded in my head.

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

　At first I was talking out loud, but then she told me that I can also talk with her through my thoughts while I have the magic sword Norn in my hand.

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

　Good, I think.

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

　Otherwise, Ai might have seen me talking with the sword.

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

　If I had done that, Ai would have thought that I had gone crazy.

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

　Apart from that, I knew that Ai could not hear my conversation in my thoughts.

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

　Ai is completely unaware that I am having a conversation with Norn in my head as I walk.

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

　While confirming such things, I make contact with the magic-armed soldier I had sensed.

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

　The other is an iron knight with a shield.

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

（Is he going to be okay?　You sure it won't break, Norn?)

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

(...... I don't know. The boy's blood has made me a little less hungry, but still not enough blood. But if the wielder's sword skills are good enough, he could cut down an opponent like that.)

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

(In short, with my skill, even the Iron Knight won't break. I understand. Then there's no problem.)

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

　I make a last check in front of the iron knight.

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

　I was worried about whether Norn, a sword that had been neglected for hundreds of years, could really stand up to a real battle.

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

　However, it seems that even Norn himself does not know that.

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

　Maybe he is on the edge.

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

　If a complete amateur tries to smash it with force, it might break.

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

　But if used properly, it can cut even an iron knight.

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

　Then, there is no problem.

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

　That is to say, if I can cut the Iron Knight, it is the best proof that I am good enough with the sword.

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

　Well... it doesn't matter if it breaks.

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

（What are you talking about? I won't forgive you if you break it! I'll drink all your blood.)

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

　Norn must have heard what I was thinking.

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

　I move, ignoring the protests echoing in my brain.

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

"I'll get it. Ai will stand by in a covering posture."

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

　With these words, he strengthened his oni armor while channeling magic power throughout his body.

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

　By strengthening the oni armor with magical power, he increased his physical capabilities.

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

　He ran toward the iron knight, drawing strength unimaginable from a child's physique.

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

　Seeing my move, the opponent also readied his shield.

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

　It is a usual move.

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

　There is only one Iron Knight with a shield.

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

　The move is to hold the shield in front of the body to lower the center of gravity.

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

　By doing so, he can protect most of his body with his iron shield.

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

　A hard sword would have attacked even against the waiting shield.

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

　Even so, there was no danger of it breaking.

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

　However, it was not possible for Norn to do so because of the lack of blood.

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

　So, first of all, it was necessary to disable the ironclad defense.

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

　I was running up to my opponent, who was waiting for me with his shield up, when I came to a sudden stop in front of his shield.

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

　The iron knight, who looked a little puzzled when he saw me come to a sudden stop, took action to deal with it.

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

　He attacked me with his shield.

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

　He attacks me who stopped in front of him with his shield.

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

　But it was of course an act of enticement.

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

　I had some idea of how to deal with the iron knight from our previous battles.

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

　Especially in a one-on-one situation, this is what I have been doing recently.

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

　Basically, the opponent's tactic is to counterattack after watching our movements.

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

　In other words, if we show an opening, they will attack us.

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

　Iron knights protected by large iron shields have high defensive power and can be a pain in the ass.

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

　However, this iron wall defense can be broken when the opponent tries to attack.

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

　We dared to show them an opening and invite them to attack us in order to break their defenses.

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

　A large shield looming in front of us.

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

　I watched calmly as the thick steel plate that seemed to cover all of my field of vision closed in on me.

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

　I pulled myself as close as possible to the edge of the attack, and then I ducked.

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

　I evade the attack by sending more magic power to my lower body, which has been strengthened by the oni armor, to increase my instantaneous power.

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

　Just before the shield hit him, he moved so that he could duck and duck into the Iron Knight's flank.

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

　He then thrust out the magic sword Norn.

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

　He thrusts the sword with a natural motion, without exerting any force.

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

　He aimed at the iron knight's hip joint while he was attacking with his shield outstretched.

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

　The attack is aimed at the base of the legs and torso, which support the body.

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

　The tip of the magic sword hits the iron knight.

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

　If it had been a hard sword, he would have felt resistance there.

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

　But this time he felt no resistance.

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

　It does not mean that the attack did not hit him.

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

　The tip of the sword touched the joint of his hip joint and pierced through there without any resistance.

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

　I was surprised.

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

　Since Norn had been worried about him, I had assumed that he was in a more carefree state.

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

　But that was not the case.

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

　This sword has a terrifying sharpness.

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

　The joints that should support his body are destroyed, and the iron knight falls down.

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

　He attacks the iron knight further.

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

　The sword Norn overturns the iron knight.

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

　In the end, the iron knight is successfully defeated without a single blade spill, even though he was attacked many times before the iron knight was defeated.

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

　This is good.

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

　It's good. It's useful.

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

　Seeing Norn's sharpness, I was convinced that this magic sword was a winner.
