　I swing the sword vertically and it hits the man in the back.

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

　A slit appears in his back.

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

　The clothes on his back are cut cleanly, revealing the skin of his back.

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

　...... is shallow.

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

　The attack seems to have been a clean one, but it is still not a fatal wound.

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

　It may have something to do with the high magical power of the attacker.

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

　In the case of this man, he seems to be using his magic power against his afterimage and speed, and the attack power itself does not seem to be that high.

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

　If his attack power is as strong as Ian's, no matter how much he tries to protect it with his blood shield, it should not be able to protect him.

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

　He would have dealt a heavy blow to us, not caring about the thin shield.

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

　However, it seems that the lack of high offensive power is not directly related to the lack of defensive power.

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

　High magic power is related to strength.

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

　I can feel it keenly.

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

　I guess my offensive power is outmatched by my opponent's defensive power due to his high magic power.

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

　The man who should have been cut on the back lifts up his body with his hands on the ground.

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

　And then, he adjusts his stance as if nothing had happened.

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

　Seeing this, I quickly moved away from him.

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

　What should I do?

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

　Thanks to Norn, I am able to fight the man in front of me like this.

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

　But I must say that there is a big difference in strength between us.

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

　Endurance warfare may be the only way.

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

　We may not be able to silence our opponent with a single blow, but we are still able to fight.

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

　And we have the magic sword Norn.

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

　Now that I have used the technique of spraying a large amount of my blood in the air, Norn's power as a magic sword is relatively lowered.

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

　But as long as I replenish my blood, I should be able to raise my attack power.

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

　And the blood for that is right in front of me.

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

　In other words, sucking the blood out of your opponent will lead you to victory.

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

　I will make a wound, even a small one, as I did before, and then use the Norn to suck the blood out of it.

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

　By doing so over and over again, I replenish my magic power and they drain theirs.

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

　I don't know how long it will take, and if I'm not careful, one move could change the game, but I may have to work steadily to win.

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

　It was when I was thinking like that.

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

"Oh no! I give up."

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

"...... surrender?　You mean admit defeat?"

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

"That's right. Let's admit that we lost. In exchange, please do us a favor.

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

"......That's very sudden. I'm having a hard time believing this. Anyway, I guess it depends on what you're asking for."

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

"Tend to their wounds. And get them to call off any more attacks. And I promise I will help you."

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

　How will I fight the man in front of me from now on?

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

　That's what I was thinking.

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

　The end comes abruptly.

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

　It was an end brought about by his opponent's declaration of defeat.

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

　It seems that the opponent admits defeat.

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

　However, it is not yet at the stage where a clear decision has been made.

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

　Especially considering the difference in power between us, I don't know how the game itself will turn out.

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

　In fact, it is more likely that my opponent will win than me.

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

　However, it seems to be out of concern for others that they still admit defeat.

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

　The man who wants to tend to their wounds points to the shadows on the ground.

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

　These were the ones who had engaged Ai when they first reached the depths of the Forest of Illusion.

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

　They were hit by Ai's magic gun and fell to the ground.

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

　However, they were not dead yet.

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

　They may have been good users of guns, since they were the first to intercept Ai.

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

　However, even if they were not dead, they were almost dying because their blood had been sucked by the Black Death Butterflies that I had sent out.

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

　After that, I returned the Black Death Butterfly to him, and then used it to produce a blood mist, so his blood was no longer sucked, but if I had left him like this, he would have died without a doubt.

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

　He seemed to weigh the possibility that I might not be able to help him if he prolongs the game with me.

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

　And more than that, he was worried about Ai's attack.

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

　Because, after Ai found that I was ready for a one-on-one fight with him, he pointed his magic gun at the big tree again.

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

　Ai's attacks on the buildings on the tree and the people in the tree had been almost impossible to hit.

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

　But it seems that the man's power had something to do with it.

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

　Perhaps he was using his power to create afterimages to protect the people along with the tree.

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

　But when the man landed on the ground and fought me, it seems that his protection was gone.

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

　The Eye's magic bullets began to hit.

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

　Maybe his intention was to neutralize us as soon as he landed on the ground.

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

　But it didn't work out that way, and I was left alone in the endless battle.

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

　And during that time, others were targeted by the eye attack.

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

　So they surrendered.

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

"Are you sure?　The fight has only just begun. I guess all you have to do is beat me, right?"

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

"Hmm. Don't make jokes. I know what you're thinking, Alphonse Barca.

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

"My idea?"

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

"Yeah. This forest is normally impossible to penetrate even this far. And yet you have made it this far. But I know... You are the leader of a band of mercenaries and you brought a band of mercenaries with you to this forest. And yet you have only 10 or so mercenaries with you here. Is it because they intend to burn the forest if you do not return?　We cannot help it if they set fire to this forest. We have no choice but to surrender."

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

　I didn't mean ...... any of that.

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

　No, well, I know what you mean.

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

　I guess it was unexpected for them to come into this forest when they normally would not be allowed to enter.

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

　And yet, the fact that they dared to enter in small numbers and left the majority of mercenaries outside may indeed be eerie, if you ask me.

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

　Even if we do not intend such a thing at all, we may think so by reading too much into it, don't we?

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

　...... are you seriously going to give up?

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

　I still have a lot of energy left in me, but, well....

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

　If they want to give up, I'll accept it.

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

　But as you can imagine, it's difficult to make a verbal promise.

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

　We might as well make sure that they don't attack us suddenly with a wedge of blood, just to make sure that we have a guarantee.

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

　Just when it seemed that the battle would continue, the other party suddenly admitted defeat and the battle was settled.
