Hammer Master Zester boldly tries again.

''The old version of the 'awesome emperor stiffness'!

　Once again, a plane spreading aura is released from the head of the hammer.

　It's a technique that is less destructive because it spreads so thinly, and that's why it was deemed 'impossible' by both Dariel and Arantzill, but it was more convenient than anything else if you only wanted range anyway.
　Ironic.

''We can't let only newcomers play an active role!

　Continuing on, Sesha, the spearman, moves.
　He stabbed his prized spear into the ground and once his hands were free, he took out a bundle of something.
　A bundle of long, thin things grouped into several pieces.
　He threw it high into the heavens in one lump.

''This is my new technique that I learned during my training with my fellow Gashita-dono who has the same sting (thrust) aptitude!　Watch it!

　As they flew upward, the threads that held the bundle together naturally untied, and the long, thin things that had been clumped together scattered to pieces.

　It was a wooden skewer.

　These were wooden skewers, cut into thin pieces and sharply pointed at the end.
　It was a bundle of dozens of them together, but once the bindings were released, it was no longer a bundle.

　When the momentum and gravity of the throwing became equal, it stopped at the top of a far higher peak.
　The bundle was no longer a bundle, dispersed into pieces.

　One by one, they become sharp stabs, this time being pulled by gravity as they descend towards the ground.

''The special 'bamboo forest shower'!　You may eat it!

　The wooden skewers that were already filled with stinging (poke) aura were sharp enough to penetrate the metal level with ease.
　Dozens of them.
　It is not only a good idea to have a good time, but it is also a good idea to have a good time.
　That's exactly what happened, like rain.

　If you adjust it so that it doesn't overlap with the old version of the "Stupendous Force" that Zestar had released earlier, its range was so wide that it could cover a thousand armies.

　This is the ultimate attack that even Ida's spatial distortion of 'Heaven and Earth' wouldn't be able to dodge, but....

''Ridiculous...?
"After all this, you still can't get away with it...?

　The ground is gouged out by Zester's aura mass, and in the middle, where wooden skewers are pierced everywhere.
　A pure white boy without a scratch was standing there.

'You did better than before. It's a little wider in scope, but that's about an eighth of a Drismegian's fire.
'Why isn't it working...?

　Zester and Sesha's joint attack is not weak.
　They were definitely two of the best among all adventurers.

　If the two of them had simultaneously exploded in another phase of their profound attacks, not just one squad of the Demon King's army, but two or three squadrons would have been wiped out in an instant, even though their fearfulness would have roared out.

　Because it was too extensive, even their ally Radie couldn't escape out of range, and they had to use Satome's shield as an umbrella to surpass the two of them.

　And that enemy had dispatched it without a hitch.

　Without a doubt.
　It was a remarkably different strength from the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army that Radie had fought in the past.

''Could it be........that you are more.......than Dariel-san?
''It was imprudent of me to stop you when I heard you were a brave man. It was an obvious waste of time.

　Ida muttered in disgust.

I have to carry out the mission given to me by her. I have to carry out the mission given to me by her. I've been told that I must not go down to the world and kill anyone without good reason, but that's not the point. Those who are not worthy of killing are not worthy of killing.

　The air changed.
　Radie and the others felt their surroundings harden like plaster on their skin.

''What is this........?''
'It's fixed the space around you. We won't bother you now.

　Easily stopping Radey and all of his companions from moving, Ida turned to leave.

'Get far enough away from me and the immobilization will be broken. The weak must be lurking and biting their teeth.

　Radie glared regretfully at the boy's back as he walked away.



　The enemy didn't even consider her to be an enemy.
　The difference in power was so different that Radie was only treated as an annoying little fly.

''To get Dariel-san's approval...?

　I can never expose my disrespect in this fight.
　But the opponent was too bad.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

''They're all in the same boat...''

　Someone stands in front of Ida as she tries to leave.
　Radhi screamed as he was pinned down.

''Arantziel-sama!

　The man who appeared in front of Ida was the previous brave.
　It is a good idea to have a good time.

I'm not going to be able to get to know you.　Shouldn't he be waiting for you at the Center Guild?
I've dared Dariel, and now I need you guys to show some results. I came here just in case, and all this happened.

　Radie's face burned all over at Alanziel's spitting words.
　He said he hadn't lived up to the expectations of his predecessors.

'Don't look down,'

　Arantzill added sternly: "We cannot turn a blind eye to the battlefield.

Aranziel goes on to say sternly: "Do not turn away from the battlefield. If you want to win, keep your eyes fixed on the enemy, even if they glaze over. Never miss a moment of opportunity.
Yes.....

　Radey stared into his eyes as he was stopped in his movements.
　He shouldn't give up on winning yet.

'You've got to be kidding me.'

　The boy said.

''A weak man of that level does not deserve to lose, let alone win. It's not even in the form of a battle. It is beyond stupid and pathetic not to accept the impossible.
The impossible will now be possible. And she will be the catalyst for that.

　Alanziel. He puts an aura into the staff stick that he has acquired.

I will show you.


　Ida's spirits have changed.
　It's just not the same as when dealing with Radie and the others. From the ease of playing with kittens to the danger of staring at a raging tiger.

'You seem to be qualified to be my enemy. Why don't you call yourself a brave man?
I quit a long time ago. It's getting to be too much for me.
'So you're Arantzill, I see. I hear you're a fierce competitor who's been confirmed to join Valhalla, along with Granberza.

　The quality of the magic that overflows from the ida becomes more and more transparent and pure.

It's interesting. We'll never tire of fighting in Valhalla anyway, but let's have a prelude to the celebration. You will be baptized with the baptism of a hero.
I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of forcing everything on my juniors. "I'm going to teach you how to beat you. I'm going to show you how to beat you.

　A staff stick that makes a humming sound and draws an arc circle.
　He rushed towards Ida from a seamless side stance.

"No way, you're going to attack me!

　Radie shouts at the sight of it.
　This is the weapon that the great brave Arantzill is most adept at using, the staff club. It is a weapon that allows you to control three of the four aura traits of slash, sting and hit.

　Although it was less efficient than Dariel's Hermes Blade, it was an unmistakable weapon that helped him fight fierce battles against demons with this one.
　But still.........

''No, Arantzill-sama!　No matter how much Aranziel-sama is, a mere attack is not enough...?

　Ida's space-controlling magic distorts the very space that matter passes through, so all physical phenomena that occur within the space are meaningless.
　Even if you're a great brave man who has carved a name for himself in legend, you can't escape that law.

　I thought so, though.

''Guhahah!''

　Ida's left arm was severed and cut into a thousand pieces.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

''The spatial distortion didn't work!
''Ridiculous!　It is true that my magic should have bent the trajectory of the attack!　And yet...?

　Radie and Ida were equally confused for once.

'I'm sorry, but I don't understand all the petty little logic.
"..........?　It's not just an attack...?　Add some kind of twist to your aura...?
''If you're going to survive a battle with Granbaza's, this kind of recklessness is an everyday occurrence. I never thought that they could be considered invincible just by mastering a single magic form. Looks like the old Four Heavenly Kings were of a low level.

　And Radey realized.
　His body, which had been fixed in a whole space, could now move freely.

'The restraints have been released...?　Because he took some damage...?
Come on, Radey, I've given you what you need.

　Aranzir turned on his heel without fighting any further.

'The rest is your business. Just do exactly what you see, and you will win. If you can, you will win. If you can't, you will die. That's all there is to it.
