　The battle with Koga was so fierce that it could be described as a grinding contest.

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

　Koga attacked with high-speed movement, which was unbelievable for a demon tribe, and I tried to respond with magic bullets and their applications.　Neither of us had a decisive blow, and the battle turned into one in which both sides simply wore each other out.

　In the midst of such a battle, a change occurred.

　In the middle of the battle with Koga, a mysterious floating object suddenly fell.

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

　It was shining silver and emitted a huge light as if it burst right above me, and at that moment, I heard such a voice.

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

　When I opened my eyelids, I found that the world I could see was completely white, and on my left palm, the only part of my hand that I could see properly, was a silvery sphere-like object.

"......"

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

　Somehow, I know that the owner of the voice is not an enemy.

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

　That is why I could not understand why the voice was saying such a thing along with the memory of Usato's point of view.

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

　However, I thought it was meaningful and tried to form my mind as he said.

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

　While concentrating on my left hand, which was holding the sphere, I opened my mouth in a small voice.

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

"......I'm not as dexterous as everyone says I am.

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

　I am a weak man who is extremely clumsy in social interaction and who shies away from making important choices when faced with them, unable to move forward on my own.

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

　What do other people think of me?　And if I think about what other people think of me, I am afraid of knowing it and can't take the plunge, and in the end, I have to do nothing but wait for the time to pass with a hazy feeling.

"But ......"

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

　---I chose to fight in this world because I wanted to.

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

　I took up the sword to do my best for my friends, for those who love me, for my fellow man. Even if I am torn to pieces as I am now, I can assure you that I have no regrets or mistakes for the decision I made that night in front of Usato.

"Yeah ......?"　

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

　As he thinks about this, the silver light intensifies and gathers on his left arm.

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

　With it, the light that was brightly illuminating the surroundings subsides, dissipates and disappears like particles, and at the same time, the surrounding scenery returns to that of the battlefield.

　Looking ahead in confusion, I see Koga, enveloped in black magic, standing a few dozen meters away from me with his arms crossed, listening to me.

"Oh, he finally showed himself!"

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

"What in the world is ......?"

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

"I didn't expect to be surrounded by light in the middle of a battle. ...... is that a new power in your left arm?　Hmm?"

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

　Koga tells me and I gasp as I look at my left arm.

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

　He gasped as he looked at his left arm.

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

　It was very similar to Usato's basket hand, but the atmosphere emanating from it and the power flowing into his body through the basket hand was extraordinary.

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

"!　Are you ......?"

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

　The same voice as before echoed in my head.

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

　I turn my attention from Koga, who is tilting his head to look at me, to the basket hand from which the voice originated.

　Surprised to hear a voice coming from the cage, I guessed that the voice belonged to the Lord Farga, the divine dragon of Mialak whom Usato had mentioned.

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

　I don't know why this timing is, but at this very moment, the armor of the brave has come to me.

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

"Dangerous, stuff: ......"

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

　Mr. Farga is right.

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

　Whatever is touched by my magic disappears. I myself am no exception, so it is almost impossible to wrap it around a fist or a sword.

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

　The fact that I am able to compensate for this difficulty with my cage hand gives me more freedom in the way I fight.

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

　I grip the sword with my right hand and take a stance.

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

　Koga, who had been watching silently, lets out an innocent smile.

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

"Oops, are you done talking to yourself yet?"

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

"......"

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

"Well, then, I'll take my chances!

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

　With a burst of magic power, Koga moves from the spot at high speed.

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

　As soon as he starts to move, he releases several magic bullets from his left hand and places them around himself, and then he notices that he hears something being sucked from his cage hand.

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

"What?　Has the magic power been restored?"

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

　...... Photosynthesis?

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

　No, though it is not nutrition but magic that is converted.

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

Anyway!　I don't have to worry about running out of magic power!"

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

　He moved around like a quadruped, and when he gained speed, he raised his distorted claws and attacked with an outburst of magic.

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

　In response, he sent a magic projectile drifting toward it and cut it up with the sword he clutched in his right hand.

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

I can already see your move!

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

Then how about this!

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

　He ducks the magic projectile with an irregular move, then reverses his sword and dodges it.

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

　Koga notices something stirring behind him, and at the same time, something like a tail is approaching.

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

"A tail?

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

There you go!

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

　Did it grow a tail ......?　This makes me feel less and less like I'm fighting a man!

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

　He immediately defends himself with his sword, but just as the tail hits him, the sword in his right hand shatters from the base of the hilt.

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

"Ugh!"

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

　You couldn't stand it. ......!

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

　Koga bared his fangs and tried to cut me into pieces, and I continuously unleashed magic power using the basket hand on my left arm...,

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

"Ah!　Yes!"

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

　He places his left hand on the broken part of the sword, absorbs the surrounding magic projectiles, and reconstitutes the light magic as a blade.

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

　A sword with the magical power of extinction--or should I say an artificial magic sword ......!　With this, you can go unprotected!

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

　He strikes the sword, which is lighter than a normal sword, at the approaching Koga.

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

"Ha, ha, that's how it's done!"

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

　The sword deflects away from his body, and although he avoids a direct hit, he succeeds in cutting away Koga's magical armor and inflicts a laceration from his chest to his shoulder area.

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

　Koga tried to distance himself from me while holding the wound, but it was not to be.

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

　Gripping the sword in both hands, I took a thrusting stance, releasing the light magic concentrated on a single point.

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

"Flash Point Sword No. 2!

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

What?

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

　The blade of the sword is ejected with the release of magic power.

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

　This is a simple enhanced version of the flashpoint sword, but with this cage, it can correct its trajectory and track the opponent!

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

"What a tricky move!"

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

　Giving up on running away, Koga swings both of his enlarged arms in a wide arc and hits the approaching blade of magic with both arms, causing it to explode with magical power and neutralizing the attack.

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

　......It may be difficult to land a fatal blow as long as the outburst of magic power cancels it out.

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

　He creates a blade of light again on the sword, which is now only a hilt, and glances at Koga.

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

　Koga understands the danger of stepping in too easily, so he will not use the same strategy again.

"Yes."

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

　He replies to Mr. Farga's voice.

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

　He lets out a small sigh and speaks in a quiet voice.

"Huh?"

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

　The unexpected word makes my mind go blank for a moment.

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

　I involuntarily look away from Koga, wondering what he means.

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

"But how can I ......"

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

"Usato and senpai ......"

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

　Indeed, the two of you don't fight in a suffocating way like I do.

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

　They have been free to go with their intuition and ...... sometimes come up with a technique on the spot to break the ice.

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

"I'll try it too without thinking too hard. ....... Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Farga."

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

"Yes, I'll see what I can do."

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

"Yes, ......!"

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

　I replied, and then I heard nothing more from Mr. Farga.

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

　......Usato was right, he was a kind-hearted man.

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

　I regained my composure and stretched my cheek, and turned my attention to Koga, who was covering the cut area with black magic.

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

"Now, let's not think too hard.

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

　He floats a magic bullet in his palm and lets it drift around him.

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

　He holds the sword of light in his opposite hand, taking a slow, deep breath while simultaneously manipulating about 30 magic bullets.

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

"Your face has changed.

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

"Yeah, I thought I'd go on a rampage like Usato."

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

　At my words, Coga's shoulders shook in a funny way.

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

　I couldn't see his expression because of the mask, but it seemed to me that he was not mocking me but simply amused.

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

"Haha, can you do it?　"I don't know if I can say this, but I'm pretty good at it. He is."

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

I'll do it.

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

　He draws a magic bullet near him and sends it flying toward Koga, bouncing it with the sword of light in his opposite hand.

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

　He runs toward the cogwheel with the magic bullet in tow.

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

"You came at me yourself!

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

"You're not going to catch me if I don't!"

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

　This is the first time he has attacked Coga himself in a fight.

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

　Seeing me approaching, Koga produced four scythes from his back and tried to intercept me while dealing with the magic bullets he had me fire at him.

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

　The sword of light, wielded at the same time as the rush, collides with Koga's arm, which utilizes the outburst of magic power.

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

"Huh!"

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

"Ahh!" "Ohh!"

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

　The thorns created by the outburst of magic power cannot be easily erased even with my magical power.

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

　Instead of striking each other, I let go of the hilt of my sword and move into melee combat. ......!

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

I can do it!

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

I'll skewer you first!

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

　He swings his magic-clad hands carelessly to shave off Koga's mask and the magical thorns protruding from his chest area.

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

"Ha ha!　You're really good!　That magic!"

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

"......!"

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

　Koga's expression was like that of an innocent child as he jumped backward and said these words happily.

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

　He is enjoying the battle that could kill him in an instant if he makes a wrong move.

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

　I am sure that I will never be able to face this guy no matter what. Convinced of this, and biting his teeth with unspoken emotions, he pulls several magic bullets toward him.

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

"I won't let you get away!"

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

　He concentrates the magic bullets floating at his feet into one and kicks them away with all his might. ......

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

　The magic bullet, which was sent out based on the same principle as Usato's healing magic bullet, splits up as soon as it is in front of Koga, and attacks his body.

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

　Even so, the scythe on his back defends against the majority of them, but some of them snatch at his legs and gouge them out.

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

"G......!?"

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

　As he was about to fall to the ground and his movements slowed down, he put his right hand on his left arm, converting the surrounding light into magic power and concentrating it into a basket hand---triggering the system reinforcement.

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

　You can't run away on that foot!　I will finish you here!

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

"Strengthening <>......!"

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

　The basket hand, filled with magic power, begins to make a deafening squeaking sound.

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

　With that, I turned my palm toward Koga and released it with a yell.

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

"Eat me!

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

　The released light magic power became a torrent with a strong radiance, and it eroded the scenery in front of my eyes.

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

　A wide-area attack with light-based magic.

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

　I myself can't even keep my eyes open because of the sheer brilliance of the light.

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

　When the light subsides after a few seconds of brief release, the ground in front of me is scraped into a fan shape, and even the armor that had been thrown away on the ground vanishes, and everything is gone.

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

"You did it ......?"

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

　There was no sign of Koga.

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

　...... too powerful. This can't be used in a crowded battle.

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

"......!"

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

　A dull pain shoots through his left arm.

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

　I saw that something like smoke was being released from the gap between the baskets, and that the baskets themselves were also heated.

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

　I don't feel the heat itself, but ...... it seems that this technique is quite demanding.

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

　It is too convenient to use magic power as much as you want. .......

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

"For now, we're done here..."

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

But it's not over yet!

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

What?

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

　I turn around at the sound of an unheard voice and see Koga about to slam his fist into my face.

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

Sora!

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

"Gugu......!"

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

　I catch him with my basket hand and look at him from a distance... and I am speechless.

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

　Koga's left arm was gone from the second arm onward.

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

"If I had escaped a little later, he would have disappeared without a trace. Hahahaha."

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

"What the ...... f*ck is wrong with you ...... you're not ...... sane."

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

"I love fighting more than anything."

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

　As he said these words without hesitation, he released black magic power from his lost left arm and formed it into the shape of his former left arm.

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

　As he splits it into tentacles or transforms it into a blade, Koga still smiles at me with the same belligerent smile.

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

"You don't understand, do you?　Well, there are people out there like me who've only known it for a while.

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

"......"

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

"But, well, he was the only one who understood that and fought (or played) with me. I appreciate that. I really am."

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

　After saying this, Koga transforms his left arm, which was formed by his magic power, into a sickle shape.

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

　Do I have to fight this guy again ......!

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

　I try to put magic power into my left arm too, but at that moment, I notice five big shadows coming down from above.

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

"Master Koga!"

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

　A soldier of the Demon King's army riding a flying dragon comes down to intervene between me and Koga.

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

　The five flying dragons are roaring menacingly at me, and the soldier riding on their backs is calling out to the dubious-looking Koga.

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

The soldier on their backs calls out to the dubious KOGA, "KOGA-sama, please stand down!

What do you mean?" "The order from the assistant to the first corps commander!　I have the same order for Amira!

"...... all you've done is stall the heroes and the healing wizard. I'm as pathetic as I can be. ....... I understand. I think I'll head back to the main camp for a while.

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

　Coga jumps onto the back of the flying dragon with a slight slump of his shoulders.

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

　Just as the flying dragon with Koga on it was about to take to the sky, I came to my senses and tried to drop the dragon with a magic bullet, but it was repelled by my left arm, which was waved like a whip.

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

"Wait!"

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

"Wait!" "I'm sorry I'm halfway through. Brave man of light, let's continue when we meet again.

　They attempted to bring down the flying dragon, but soldiers riding the dragon blocked their way.

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

　I wanted to make sure one of the corps leaders was taken care of right here and now. ......!

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

　That's an enemy we can't leave alone.

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

　It grows stronger in battle, and it will act out of the ordinary.

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

　Above all, its will to fight is extraordinary.

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

　We have already cleared away the attacking soldiers and the flying dragon, but the dragon has already flown high into the sky where our magic cannot reach.

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

　I could only stare in frustration at Koga's flying dragon as it flew away from me.
