Huh!

　Radey unleashes the aura in his sword blade as he shakes it down.

　That technique is the "Splitting Sky".

　It is a slash-type depth technique that sends a mass of aura flying as a slash.

　However, Zebiantes with Mithril's wings easily evades the long-range attack even while in the air.

''It's a small flying claw. It's incomparable to the ones Dariel has been shooting at.

　Although Zeviantes with a surplus of time, she still didn't realize what was important.
　While blocking the wind blades that fall like rain from above, she simultaneously attempted to counterattack with the "split sky".

　That is to say, they were able to afford to completely shut out the enemy's onslaught while still being able to act differently.......
　

''Even more 'Splitting Sky'!

　The rain of wind blades was cut off as Zebiantes took an evasive action.
　As if to miss the opportunity, Radey begins to chase after it.

''Hi!　It's in bad shape!

　Zebiantes, sensing the danger this time, flapped his wings even more and turned.
　I'm going to be able to avoid the aura slash.

　Then......

''Splitting Sky!　"Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha!
''Uhiiiiii!

　It seems that you can't pull out a wind blade from a moving vehicle.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on a new one.

''The offense and defense have been reversed........?

　It was a tremendous development.

　The wind-blade rain that Zebiantes unleashed from his wings should have been so fierce that it could have swept away most of his enemies.
　Radey was also defensive at one point.

　And yet, Radey, without taking any measures, genuinely pushed back, and finally turned to the side that she was trying to crush with her onslaught.

''It's still strange...?''

　Satome, watching the fight next to me, comments.

''The way you're fighting right now puts too much strain on your weapons. It's not a good idea to use a sword that isn't even meant for defense to deal with the enemy's flying tools and get back on the offensive, it's using it too much. Normally, your sword would break in the middle of the fight!

　It's probably because Satome is a shield user and plays the role of a wall in the party, so she can't agree with that anomaly.
　The aura used by adventurers has the aura property of guard (protection), which is exclusively for defense, and it is impossible to prevent the magic of the demon race without using it.

　Does Radie have a guard (protection) aura in his sword?
　Or...?

The secret is in the sword.

　This was Sakai, the blacksmith.

You were the one who stayed up all night making that thing, weren't you?
'Yes. Making Zevi-sama's wings was a good stimulus for me. It activates my brain cells, and the ideas just come rushing in!

　I don't know what it was, but I knew it was high tension.

'That new sword is also made from an alloy made in the Atanor furnace.
"Huh?
"I call it a self-repairing alloy!

　Wow.
　Sounds pretty cool.

"The metal itself remembers its original shape and automatically repairs itself if it's damaged!　In other words, even blade breakage will heal on its own!
Oh, yeah?

　Satome roared.

'With its self-repairing ability, that sword was able to withstand the onslaught!　And they supported me until I could turn on the offensive!
It is expected to be ten times stronger than the previous one, due to the constant repairs as it fights!　Originally, it was a byproduct of the process of creating Dariel Village Chief's Hermes Sword!

　''Yes.

''It's not as variable as the Hermes Silver that was used as the material for the Hermes Sword, but the usefulness of a sword that can be restored while fighting is immeasurable!　It's worthy of a brave master's exclusive weapon!

　It's something to say for a blacksmith who even makes magic tools for the demon race.

''I see........So you are also benefiting from Mithril and Sakai-kun?　There's no shortage of things for them to do.

　Zebiantes. The white and silvery mithril wings spread wide.

''Then I will bring out the full capabilities of these wings and make them a test case for new magic!　You're going to have to take the 'Symphonic Razor'!
"I'm the one who's going to fight you, and through this fight, I'm going to surpass the Slit Sky and cultivate the Superpowered Slit Sky!

　Two damsels in earnest clash head-on.

◆

　And a few hours passed.....

　Radie and Zebiantes, who had run out of energy and roots, were lying on the ground.

''I can't do this anymore........!
He doesn't even have the strength to move a single finger...!

　The battle had exhausted their auras and magic power and they were falling down.
　Each other's new weapons had been shattered and completely destroyed.

''Hmm, I guess it's impossible to self-repair if it goes this far in the bucket. After all, there's an acceptable range for damage...''

　Sakai-kun is examining the broken weapon mages.
　He's a very enthusiastic guy.

''Both my sword and my wings are smashed, are you sure?
'It's a prototype of eeeeeeeeee. It's supposed to be tested and bring out the problems!

　And that's why they used a lot of the finest mithril in the world?
　This is a bold move by a craftsman.

　I'd like to say something to the village chief, but...



　What's this creepy laughter!
　I thought, but Zeviantes was laughing.

　The exhaustion has become so extreme that even his laughter has become dirty.

'It was a good match. I thought it would be an easy win if it wasn't for that spearman, but to be brought to a draw...!
That's because you were focused on seeing how well the new magic tool worked. What would have happened if you had only wanted to win from the start...!
That's still a prototype. When my wings are finished, they will be your last. Remember...!
I will be even stronger then. I won't be easily defeated........!
Hmm...!　It's a good fight.　I think I could be even stronger to beat you...!
..........

　Gasp.
　They held each other's hands as they fell.

Some kind of friendship is growing...?
"We really did manage it...?!

　Satome and I were twilight at the side.
　It's really a case of a lot of hassle for the people watching.

The best thing about this is that it's all over.

　I heard a voice from outside.
　I looked at Marika and saw that she had come to visit her son Gran.

I've come to call you because it's almost noon. I mean, I brought you your lunch, so why don't we eat it here?

　I said and opened the basket I had brought with me.
　It was full of sandwiches and other things.

"Wow!　Yummy!
'I was just getting hungry!　Eat it!　You have to eat to regain your full strength!

　The disturbance team of Radie and Zebiantes was restarted by their appetite.

'What in the world was all that bothering me...?
'Don't think about it...!

　We dusked together alongside Satome.

　And Sakai had finally reached the end of his all-night tension and had fallen asleep with his damaged work in his arms.

　The rest of us spread out the sheets on the tragic remains of the dueling ground and ate our lunch in a picnic atmosphere.
　What a peaceful time it was.

　.............

　With this, the Four Heavenly Kings Xeviantes attack riot was concluded without incident.

　.......................Is that right?
