"The power of Cecil's armor and great sword is called [accumulation]?　What exactly does that mean, Mister Hendriksen?"

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

"As I have said many times before, this is only a rumor. If you don't mind, Mister Zen, I can explain it to you.

Please.

I understand. It is said that both Cecil's armor and the great sword are weapons that gained their power in the labyrinth. And those who have glimpsed their power on the battlefield have rumored that it is a special ability to store power. Therefore, it is said to be the power of [accumulation].

"Storing power, huh? Could it be that it can store magic power like a magic stone?　That way, I can usually collect magic power in that armor and the great sword, and I might be able to use it in battle."

"...... What do you think? Personally, I think it's a little different."

　While watching the battle between Lord Barka and Cecil, I was talking with Zen about the unusual power of Cecil's armor.

　But we do not know for sure.

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

　We can only guess.

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

　It seems that Lord Barka tends to name the powers of each individual in an easy-to-understand manner.

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

　He calls the power that Lord Guido used "Black Death Butterfly", and the technique used by the archers of Grougalia "Meteor" and so on.

　And he uses it himself.

　But power is supposed to be hidden.

　If you give an easy-to-understand name to your power, it will become widely known and may be countermeasure.

　The more special your ability is, the less people know about it, the more advantageous it is on the battlefield.

　Therefore, few people tell about their powers by themselves, and it is considered to be a foolish thing to do.

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

　In this respect, Cecil may be an eccentric.

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

　After all, he calls himself the Knight of Thunderbolt.

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

　Perhaps he wants to make a name for himself as a mercenary.

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

　However, it is said that the armor and the great sword that Cecil uses, which seem to be from the labyrinth, have nothing to do with the [Thunderbolt].

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

　Therefore, those who saw him on the battlefield named the armor [Accumulation] in anticipation of its power.

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

　However, I thought that this is not the unusual ability to accumulate power on a regular basis as Mr. Zen says.

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

　The reason for this lies in the current battle.

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

　If he is storing power in his armor as he usually stores magic power in magic stones, he would be the strongest at the beginning of the battle, wouldn't he?

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

　I would choose to use all the power I have accumulated at once in order to gain an advantage even against a strong opponent.

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

　However, this is not the case in their battle.

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

　Rather, it is the opposite.

　The fresh-blooded sword and the greatsword striking each other over and over again.

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

　I feel that the balance of power is slowly shifting in favor of the great sword.

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

　Lord Barka is repeatedly attacking on his mount.

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

　And Cecil who repels them.

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

　This in itself does not change.

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

　What has changed is the distance at which Barka is being blown away.

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

　It is getting longer and longer.

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

　This is an unusual sight.

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

　A cavalryman in armor on a red horse was attacking with great force, and yet a man standing on the ground was blowing him away.

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

　And not because he is tired and can no longer fling them back, but because he is able to blow them farther away.

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

　It's crazy.

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

　Perhaps the unusual ability called [Accumulation] can explain this situation.

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

　If he is able to store up power and use it on a regular basis, he can win the fight if he blows it up more widely and attacks directly from the beginning.

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

　If you can use it, then you can win by blowing it up bigger and hitting it directly from the beginning.

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

　In other words, I think that [accumulation] is using the attack of the opponent.

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

"Using the opponent's attack?　Are you saying that you are absorbing Commander Alphonse's attacks or something like that?"

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

"Maybe. It may be the absorption of impact, magic power, or the physical ability of the opponent. The power that can be gained at once is probably limited. Therefore, the power does not increase all at once, but it can gradually surpass the opponent's power. I think that someone might have called such a kind of different ability [accumulation].

"...... I see. So, I see. So he wanted to save his strength by fighting Commander Alphonse before fighting Ian, the warrior of Atmos. So in a word, Hendriksen is trying to say... This Cecil guy is treating Commander Alphonse like a front.

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

Hey, hey. Don't say that so loudly, Mister Zen. I never meant it that way.

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

　I rushed to Zen-dono, who had started to say something strange, and denied it.

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

　However, his voice might have been heard by those around him more than I thought.

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

　People around me reacted.

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

　No, that would have been enough.

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

　The problem is that it seems that the very person himself heard the words that he was treating Mr. Barca as a front runner.

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

　He glanced at me while I was fighting with Cecil.

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

　His gaze met my eyes.

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

　Did he hate me?

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

　Or will they be angry with me later?

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

　No, it would be better if they were only angry with me.

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

　I can't imagine what would happen if people thought that I was treating a man who could control an army in a short period of time as a front man.

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

　As I broke out in a cold sweat and tried to deny it once more in an even louder voice to counteract it, the battle entered a new phase.
