"General Mattoo!　We have received word from various cities thanking us for reinforcements and returning to General Mathew!

　In the yard of Mathew's mansion, where Minra's defense headquarters was located, reports from the correspondents were coming in constantly.

''What is this...................... Reinforcements.........''

　Mattoo turns his head to Theintan, who is standing off to the side.
　Theintan also met Mattoo's gaze, but he tilted his head.

''I don't understand. What in the world is going on? We are currently instructing the cities to report to each city to gather information.......What are the reinforcements.......?　It is true that we have instructed our compatriots who are stationed in cities other than the one that was attacked to go to the nearby cities for support, but these reports are from all over Miremar. Some of them must not have arrived yet, and since southern Millmar is not under our power, we have no support or anything else...

　The defense of Minra is currently eliminating hordes of enemy demons thanks to the efforts of Mizuho and Marion, and the proliferation of enemy demons is now gone, so although there are hordes of demons, the number of enemies is decreasing as they are defeated, and the attacking force led by Mizuho is maintaining an overwhelming superiority in the battle line against enemy demons.

''We've got word from Passaun!　Thanks for the support of General Mattow!　I'm offering to return to General Mattoo. Also, Hiroto?　Report to, the reinforcements are doing a tremendous job of destroying the enemy!　Is this ... is this ... is this ... is this Hiroto a code or something?

　Both Mattoo and Theintan looked at each other with wide eyes and huffed at the report of that head-turning communicator.



　In the vast hollow that led from the cave in the middle of Mount Gulwa, Surt's sword chief Lokiarum was on the defensive.
　Lokiarum was now clearly suffering from anger, impatience, doubt, and the mere rank D of the World Ability Agency, which attacked him without pause, while amplifying his hatred.

(Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!　Kuhn, who is this guy?　This thing has no access to hallucinations, to the illusion of assimilation!　(Tsk, you're not going to give him time to summon me!)

　Yuto did not allow Lokiarum to summon the Summoner's method of attack with a thorough series of attacks, exactly. The way he fought was as if he was well versed in fighting against the summoner.
　Yuto stepped forward and closed in on Lokiarum. In response, Lokiarum was forced to just run around while deploying barriers.
　And gradually, Yuto's uninterrupted attacks began to exceed the speed of Lokiarum's magic barrier deployment.
　Yuto's beloved sword, ETI-Bai, is only a moment too early, and it dives through Lokiarum's unfolding magical barrier.

''Ha........Guu!

　Lokiarum roared as Yuto's posture white shallowly sliced through Lokiarum's left cheek to his left ear, and Lokiarum roared as that sharp pain hit him. The rank D boy, who sent a sharp gaze at Lokiarum incessantly with a blank expression, immediately took a swipe at the new demonic wall that Lokiarum had deployed.

''You, aren't you used to that level of pain?''

　Yuto muttered condescendingly as he cornered Lokiarum.

''What?!''

'You're nowhere near as good as you'd be if your legs were slowed down by that level of pain. You've only been directing them from the rear in a big way. Thank God for lowlifes like you, you can't even imagine the pain of others because you don't hurt yourself.

"Don't push your luck, you inexperienced little bastard!　You sound like you understand!

　Lokiarum quickly moves his gaze around, still deploying his magic wall.
　Anyway, we need a small amount of time to summon.
　Lokiarum decided to take a risk-taking action here. Originally, Lokiarum had the complete advantage, knowing that the summoner's way of fighting was to attack from a safe place. But now he was brought into melee combat, which was not a good minute for the summoner. This makes it hard to take advantage of the summoner's advantages.
　Of course, as a mature summoner, Lokiarum has a few jutsu for times like this. However, as if he had anticipated even that, Yuto would always follow him within a 5 meter radius of Lokiarum at all times.
　As expected, it is difficult to activate the jutsu in this situation.
　In addition, Lokiarum still had something in his heart that could be called pride. That is, the fact that the opponent was facing a lower-ranked boy, rank D, relative to him, was hard to get out of his head.
　That slight remaining pride was undeniably one of the reasons why he was inviting this situation.
　However, Lokiarum finally realized that he would not be able to get out of this situation unless he let go of his pride.
　That's largely because he felt his own life in danger from the spirit and awesomeness unleashed by this mere rank D boy.
　Lokiarum brings his left arm forward in the same gesture of deploying a magical wall to the approaching Yuto. Yuto also increased his speed gear in response.
　But suddenly, Lokiarum shoots a Wil-O-Wisp instead of a barrier from his left hand. Yuto's face turned into a huff at the attack.
　Lokiarum retreated and continued to shoot at the cocky little inferior ability, while slamming into Yuto with the full-strength Wil-O-Wisp rapid-fire that he was now able to do.

(You little bastard ... I'll tell you the difference in experience. Don't think you can win by force push alone)

　It was an attack that seemed to be a surprise attack by Lokiarum, but Yuto ducked while cutting through the Willowisp with a posture white, and there was no hurry in his expression.
　As if to Yuto, Lokiarum's behavioral pattern had just changed from a demonic wall to a demonic spirit, he seemed to be running sideways around Lokiarum and timing his jump into Lokiarum's bosom.

(A small, hateful, calm fellow... but!　Kukku. You're immature!　(Immature and immature!)

　Lokiarum's cheeks twisted slightly as he stared at Yuto as he moved.
　Lokiarum is waiting.
　The time when this inexperienced, cocky little boy will show his face, contorting his face, exposing his ignorance of anti-capability combat, and crying tears of frustration as he dies while having his face stepped on by the soles of Lokiarum's shoes.
　Lokiarum continues to release the Wil-O-Wisp as a natural breakaway from Yuto, while precisely assessing Yuto's movements.

(Haha!　Okay!　My plan can be done!

　Just when Lokiarum was about to set it up.......suddenly, Yuto stops moving.

(Ha, what?)

　Yuto slashed at the approaching Willowisp with only his right hand, which held the unstoppable movement of the ETI, and then swung his legs up and kicked him off the ground.
　The stones and mud where Yuto kicked off turned into gravel and struck Lokiarum's left hand and body, causing Lokiarum to fall on his back.

'You're so vapid, you.'

What?

There!　There!　And there!

　Yuto points at his own right slanting backwards, left slanting top backwards, and then at the top of the front, with his posture while facing the front.
　For a moment, Lokiarum wonders what he's saying, but then he looks at the direction that Yuto pointed in and shows his astonished phase.

''He's setting something up, isn't he?　You were leading me to a point where they would have been in my blind spot. You know ... if you're going to do that, don't give me that obvious look and expression. I'm fighting, it's embarrassing for me.

Na!

'Enough ... it's over. I'll teach you!　Just like you did with this millimeter, the regret of being knocked down by me, who has no interest in or connection to your plans, just the regret of being knocked down!　Know that and end up here in the land of Millmar!

　A sacred battle qi erupts from Yuto. Yuto sets up his posture, and even Lokiarum glares at him with a sharp glare of chills.
　Lokiarum unconsciously retreats back.

''Ki, what is your purpose!　How dare you turn on me like this!　What's in it for you by defeating me!

Are you stupid?　You, sir. Like I told you before I came here with no agenda of my own. I came here to take you down in hypocrisy and drunkenness!

　Yuto's fighting spirit explodes.
　The fighting qi that just covers Lokiarum's vision.

(Ko, this!　No way!　Senki!　This guy was a pathfinder!　Yuck!　(Yuck, yuck, yuck!)

　Yuuto found himself in front of Lokiarum, including Lokiarum and himself, as he released a blast of Sacred Fighting Qi over the entire area.

''Nah!　I can't see...!

"Senki Tousan!

　Hearing the roar of Yujin's spirit, Lokiarum's recognition of the ups and downs of his vision turned upside down was difficult to keep up with.
　Now, for some reason, he can see Yuto's chin below him.
　Lokiarum dropped his upper body to the ground, leaving only the lower half of his body standing there.
　Lokiarum feels the cold ground in the cave on the back of his head and finally understands his condition.

''........huh!''

　Lokiarum coughed up a large amount of blood that was coming in from his airway.
　It crossed the gaze of the boy who was now looking down at him with a cold expression.
　Even in this state, Lokiarum's life would not cease in the middle. From the time of the battle, Yuto had felt it, but still, that Lokiarum's body was half that of a demon.
　Yuto made a face as if he was looking at something trivial and shifted his eyes to Mizgard, which still reflected the situation in each city.

''Hi!　A baboon?　Oh, you're sorry?　Lokiarmuzama, yarareta?　Baboon!

　Yuto turns to Mizgard and sets up his posture.
　Lokiarum sees Yuto closing in on Mizgard in his fading vision.
　Yuto stands behind Mizgard, who continues to look in a different direction.
　This time, Lokiarum's left hand, in a weak movement, traces the area around his chest.
　He then grasps a piece of parchment from a break in his robe.
　With a relaxed stance, Yuto wrapped the posture with his own sacred ki.
　Lokiarum no longer opened his eyes, but his vision began to darken and he couldn't feel anything.
　With that Mizgard in time, Yuto released his spirit.

''Haaah!''
