"The sky is getting cloudy. This could be a sign of rain."

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

　The weather had been relatively stable since the start of the battle on the Ixelles plain.

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

　However, there were a few clouds in the sky from this morning.

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

　Whether it would rain or not was not clear.

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

　I thought so, but now it looks like it is going to rain.

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

　The sky was covered with thick clouds, and it was getting dimmer.

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

　It may be because of the wall of the main camp of the Perian army created by the Wall of Atmos.

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

　After my words, there was a rumbling sound.

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

　It seems that the sky is getting worse.

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

　I wonder if that sound was the signal.

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

　The two people who had been looking at each other for a while started to move.

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

　Against Cecil, who was clad in pure white armor, Barca, who was wearing red armor and had a physique that rivaled that of an adult, mounted a horned horse-like creature, also wearing bright red armor, and began to charge.

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

　In his hand is a sword the color of fresh blood.

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

　He swings the sword from his horse.

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

　With terrifying speed.

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

　The two horses with horns close the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

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

　He was astride a horse that was running at such an astonishing speed, and yet he swung the sword down with such a stable posture that you could have sworn he was not swaying at all.

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

　If it had been me, I would have been cut in two, unable even to block the blow.

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

　It was such a powerful attack that it would have cut me in two, no matter what kind of weapon or shield I had.

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

　Who is this Lord Barka really?

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

　He has risen from the ranks of mercenaries, and on this battlefield, he manages the army with his brilliant leadership, and he is strong as an individual.

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

　He is a skilled swordsman, a skilled rider, and can deliver a powerful blow with a bow.

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

　I have never met such a man before.

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

　Even Mr. Guido may not have been so extraordinary when he was young.

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

　But the pure white knight was unaffected by the blow from Barca.

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

　He was able to withstand the attack with the momentum of a mounted rider with his big sword.

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

　Or perhaps it is a little different from that.

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

　By swinging his great sword in time with the attacker's attack, he sent the red horse and Lord Barka flying away.

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

　He succeeded in reopening the distance that had been closed in an instant.

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

　However, the red horse is also amazing, and even though it was blown away together with Barca, it regained its posture without collapsing.

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

"Amazing! He doesn't seem to be affected by Commander Alphonse's attack.

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

Yes, it seems so. But here's the scary part. Cecil himself is very strong, but we must also be careful of the armor he wears.

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

Is it that great sword?

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

Yes, that's right, Mister Zen. But I have also heard that the armor Cecil is wearing has a special effect.

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

　Barka, who had been knocked off by the red horse, attacked again, and Cecil repelled his attack.

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

　While talking with Zen who was nearby, my eyes were absorbed in the battle between the two of them.

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

　Beautiful.

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

　That's what I thought.

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

　Alphonse Barca, a large cavalryman in red armor.

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

　The way he repeatedly mounts his horse and charges at the enemy has a certain elegance to it.

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

　I had felt this way before.

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

　The movements of the Orientals are clearly different from those of the mercenaries, who are supposed to be rough and rugged.

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

　Their movements themselves are lean and refined swordsmanship.

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

　But Lord Barka's swordsmanship is so superior that it far surpasses the swordsmanship of the Orientals.

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

　It is as if he claims that the sword moves of the Orientals are forgeries acquired by imitation, and that his moves are the real thing.

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

　And the quality of his movements was the same when he was standing on the ground as when he was riding.

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

　And Cecil's movements in response gave the same impression.

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

　I will never truly understand the strength of Lord Barca's attack.

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

　I am sure that if it were me, I would be cut down like a piece of paper with my defenses.

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

　Cecil's movements to catch and repel the attackers were also very effective.

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

　The sound of splitting air can be heard all the way up to us. He finds the best angle and moment to repel Lord Barka's sword with his own great sword.

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

　Watching the two of them fight, it was as if it were a moving work of art.

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

　Moreover, the armor that supports their movements is also of a special kind.

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

　The sword and armor of Lord Barka, as I saw it myself, were extraordinary.

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

　It seems that Lord Barka can also use a special technique that uses magic power, like the [Black Death Butterfly] that Master Guido used.

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

　And with this special technique, he can make swords and armor out of his own blood, and even produce moving soldiers.

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

　Such was the power of Lord Barca.

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

　The reason why Cecil is able to resist such special blood weapons is because of the special weapons he possesses.

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

　At the very least, ordinary weapons that can be purchased anywhere in the world would be no match for him.

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

　Then, what kind of weapons does Cecil have? I have heard that they are from the labyrinth.

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

"From the labyrinth?　Well, that sounds pretty strong."

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

"Yes. Basically, it is said that no two tools in the labyrinth are the same. In Cecil's case, both the great sword and the armor are rumored to be the same.

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

　Labyrinth.

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

　Or a magical pool.

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

　There are several names for these places, but they are all said to be under the influence of unusual magical powers.

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

　It is said that demons once existed here, perhaps drawn by their magical power.

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

　It is said that they hunted these demons and made special weapons with the materials from the demons.

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

　And so, the labyrinth became a place to hunt demons and obtain magic stones.

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

　A labyrinth is a place to obtain magic stones.

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

　Until now, the magic stones from the labyrinth were traded at a high price.

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

　However, now that the magic of [magic stone generation] has become available to many people, the value of magic stones has been decreasing.

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

　But now that the magic of "magic stone generation" has become available to many people, the value of the labyrinth has also decreased.

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

　The labyrinths are still valuable, and the countries that own the labyrinths protect them carefully so that other countries cannot take them away.

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

　The reason is that in the labyrinth you can get special weapons.

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

　The labyrinth is an extraordinary magical pool, and if you keep an ordinary tool in the labyrinth, the tool may be endowed with a special power.

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

　A famous example is the labyrinth bag.

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

　You can sometimes get a mysterious bag in the labyrinth, which looks like an ordinary bag at a glance, but has an expanded capacity inside.

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

　And in a similar way, weapons and armors are sometimes endowed with a special power.

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

　In the present age, when many demons have been exterminated, the opportunity to obtain such unusual weapons and armor exists only in the labyrinths.

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

　However, it does not mean that you can just leave them in the labyrinth and they will gain their power immediately.

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

　If the power is so useful that it can be used on the battlefield, they say that it takes more time than a person's life can pass by.

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

　And it is said that Cecil's armor is imbued with a special power that must have taken that much time.

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

　I remember .......

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

　I think the power was called "accumulation" or something like that.

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

　An extraordinary armor that can accumulate power as time passes.

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

　I think that is the pure white armor and the great sword that Cecil has.

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

　Armor that can defeat even the warriors of Atmos if one masters its use.

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

　Well, that may be why he came forward to fight with Lord Barka before fighting the warrior of Atmos, his main objective.

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

　If the more time he has, the stronger he can become, then this battle is a way for Cecil to buy time.

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

　He may be at a disadvantage if he does not decide quickly.

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

　It seemed that Cecil was leading the match between the two to the way he wanted it to be.
