99-98 Respect for Alanzir, the brave Zester of the "hammer"



 See, it got messy.

 Of the three brave men we visited, the best-dressed Zester, the "hammer" brave, is the best-dressed of the three.
 He is brandishing a hammer that he has acquired with a change in his blood.

''Hey! Calm down, Zester! They're just regular guys.
Not "normal"! If you say you are fiercer than even Master Alanziel, then you will stand by your seriousness!

A woman, a brave man of the bow, I think, stopped her in a hurry, but there was no way to get around her.

"It's fine.

 It's a great way to find out if it's a lie or not," said Pigalo, the hero of The Sword.

This is your chance to find out if Radie is lying or not. How many seconds do you think you can hold out for by throwing a muscle dullard on it?
'Pigalo! As if you were somebody else.

 Well, it was unbearable for me to be challenged.
 It was too much work.

"No choice,
Mr. Dariel?
Let's take a stand. I don't think he'll like it if we don't.

 I bought the fight that was sold to me, so the game is now in full swing.

'Dariel, are you sure you want to do this?'

 Radey is hanging on to me. You goading him.

'This isn't going to go away without another fight. It's going to happen.
'That may be so, but Dariel-san, don't you usually try to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible? Why are you so positive today...?

 Radey has a valid point.
 I would normally avoid a fight at all costs. I'm not my own body anymore, and I don't want to get hurt for stupid reasons for Marika or Gran.

''But this time, this is a favor I'm asking for.
What?
Why do you think Mr. Arantzill made the condition?

 Did you give these three new brave men instructions such as 'Go see Radey'?

 Leaving Radey confused by the meaning of this, I confronted the giant heroes.

''Before we begin, let me ask you something...''

 Fighting.

You have a special place in your heart for Mr. Arantziel. Is there a reason for that?
This is the ideal of a brave man pursued by Arantzill. He is the ideal of the brave man he pursued.

 The heroic Zester of "Hammer" takes a stance, no longer restraining himself.
 The Zestar is ready for battle.

The Zester is stronger than anyone else and has a strong will to destroy the demon race. Even the Center Guild can't stop him from making this decision. Its too caustic will to fight, and I can't help but be in awe and respect for it...!

 That comment.

''I've only heard it once...! The reason why Aranzir-sama came to hate the demon race so much. That he was robbed of his newborn son. That deep sorrow and anger. Knowing this, I have been training myself to take the place of his lost son and support Master Aranziel.

 Whew.
 How am I supposed to comment back on this?

Once I was left out of the selection of brave men, and after cursing myself for being of no use to Master Arantzill, I finally got my chance again. I'll take my first step into battle as a brave man with you.

 Zester is a hammer, and he calls himself the Hammer Hero.
 It's a good thing that he's good at hitting.

It's a good thing that you're able to get a good deal more out of it.

 It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
 It's a good thing that you're on an expedition to aim under the demon king as a brave man, so it's hard to be heavy with a very large hammer.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time.

 The first thing Zester did was to rotate the hammer in his palm as hard as he could.
 When the hammer was spun hard enough to create a buzzing sound, and when it had enough centrifugal force....

"Eat it!

 He swung down on my brain.
 Of course, at the same time, my body shifted sideways and the hammer collided with the ground.

 The soil on the ground that received a direct hit instead of me is blown off and a large hole is gouged out.

''........That's a hell of a power!

 A shiver ran down my spine.
 It is a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

 I'm not sure I've ever been chosen as a hero.

You can't get rid of them. Enough is enough!

The heroic Altamir of the "bow" screams a screeching voice.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. It's a complete outrage! You'll be stripped of the brave title you've been given.
We'll be very happy to have that.

 Pigalo, the hero of The Sword, said beside me.

The villagers over there have a disgraceful way of escaping. It's just ridiculous that they are so spineless. It's a very funny thing to see a scum like that being mistaken for an Arantzill-class scum.

 And then he laughs.

 They say that those who try are tested and those who choose are chosen at the same time.
 Pigalo, who calls me scum, exposes his own value by the assessment he makes.

Stupid, Pigaro.
"What?

 The first person to chide Pigalo was Zester himself, who stood on the battlefield.

It's a good idea to be able to see the strength of a person's every move, if they are brave. And if you call him scum on top of that, your eyes are knotty.
"What?

 Pigallett.
 You mean to say Zester sees through it?
 With the current batch, I'm capable of.........

'And you are also misguided, Altamir. No unarmed man could be so densely pregnant with fighting spirit.
What?
He's as heavy as absorbent cotton. It's a good idea to have a good eye. As expected of the first man of valor...

 ...No.
 Isn't this guy kind of awesome too?

 There wasn't anyone else who could see through this much on the first move, except for Arantzill-san, that is.

 With enough caution, I bring out the Hermes sword that I had hidden in my pocket.
 I extend it and make it into sword form.

''How........''
It's called a Hermes sword. It is a weapon made from mithril mined near here. It reacts to the aura it contains and changes shape.
That's unusual. But can one swing of that matter be a decent match for my mallet?

 Zester raises his hammer and strikes at me.

 I'm sure he's right, and if sword and hammer clash head-on, the sword will definitely be snapped off.

 I avoided the collision and quickly avoided the collision, and as I walked around behind him, I changed the nature of the aura I could put into the Hermes sword.
 At the same time, the sharp blade of the Hermes sword melts and turns into a soft, bendy whip.

 Hermes Blade, whip form.

 While changing into a form that makes the best use of its hit (striking) characteristics, the flogger went behind Zester.
 But..........

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

 It's so quick, even for its massive body.
 I'm not sure if this is the right way to go.

 I'm not going to be able to tell the difference.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

 It was also blocked.

 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

''Great, to be able to be surpassed to this extent.......''
''No, your onslaught is also terrifying. Frightening to the core....

 You can't be too careful," he says, holding up his hammer, "but I see that the weapon is designed to fully utilize all four aura qualities.

It's a weapon that is designed to make full use of all four aura qualities. The first sword slashes, the second whip hits, and the third is a saber-like form of sting.
Excellent analysis.

 I mean, please don't dismiss the function of the Hermes sword just because you've struck each other two or three times.

However, it is a meaningless weapon unless the owner itself fully conforms to all of the aura characteristics. The aura characteristics that you, who make full use of it, are good at slashing, striking, and defending all of them.......!
".........
A rare and omnipotent person. ...the same type as Master Arantzill.

 I think you're being too predictable.
 Why couldn't someone like this be brave enough to lose to Radey?

I knew he'd be fine. Then I shall make the secret move that I have been keeping for so long.
What?
''It's a special technique that I developed after much blood-soaked study to emulate Master Arantzill's 'Great Emperor's Splitting Sky. You are the one who deserves to strike it. Let's take it!
