316-315 One sword, sneak away in the sky



Mr. Dariel, stay back...!

 In the midst of the battle, it seems that changes have begun to occur in the background.
 I can see that Radey is buoyant.

'I hear Gacita and Droyer have arrived.

 The Gigantomachia bought us quite a bit of time in the fight with Fenrir.
 Reinforcements are arriving as well.

''With the increase in the number of adventurers, our close combat capabilities have increased. If we fortify the vanguard with adventurers and the rear guard with the mages of the Demon King's army, we will have a much thicker formation than ever before.
"A battle between humans and demons... I can't believe I'm seeing this...!

 Radey is impressed.
 That's understandable, but if you're not careful, you'll be thrust down in one fell swoop.

 The most frightening part of this battle is the main body, Fenrir.
 No matter how miraculously created a mixed formation of humans and demons, if he charged in himself, he would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.

 It's safe to say that the two of us are still the backbone of this war.

But....!

 How long is this fight going to go on?

 Although I have been hitting him with my longest strike many times since a while ago, I can't see a single sign of a fatal wound on Fenrir.
 It's good to know that you can only inflict hand wounds with an attack that combines magic power and aura, though.

 The wounds that can even be carved into it are shallow, and moreover, they are being blocked up as you look at them by his overwhelming regenerative abilities!

''d*mn it, 'Koreku' is still...!

 It's not working.
 I can't see his destiny.

 I don't know what he's been born for!

"d*mn, is that enough...?

 It's time for you to be physically fit and ready to go, but you've got plenty of energy to keep going.

 I'm sure the training has paid off.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 However, it's not infinite.
 If this situation continues, the first to run out of stamina is going to be me and Reedy.

"I'm old enough to know how much longer I can last...!

 The giant wolf roars.
 It really looks like it's going to devour everything in this world.

 We can't let this kind of monster go free.

 That's where.........

''True and awesome Goryoku!''

 A powerful hammer strike struck Fenrir in the side.

 Who will use this technique........?

''Zester!''
Muracho, we're here to help!

 The one who showed up was the hammer-wielding Grade A adventurer, Zester!

 He's now the most powerful adventurer in the village of Lax, and he's the greatest adventurer in the village of Lax, but I guess he came to support us, too!

''Always in the wrong place at the wrong time! That's because the commotion would occur when it was out on a quest. But we made it to late reinforcements! Now is the time to take my hammer to the village!

 I appreciate the enthusiasm, but would you back off and take on the little Fenrir if you can?
 Besides me and Radey, the burden is too much for Fenrir's main body to win........

''That's not the only thing that can help you!
What?

 The sharp edges of the blades flying in from the sky.

''Dragon Fang Falcon Claw flying strike!

 A spear strike thrusting down headfirst strikes Fenrir.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time.

"Sesha-san!
"And me!

 Satome came out with a shield.

"Not only Sesha-san, but Satome too? Why? Aren't you in another part of the world, hiding in the Chamber of Commerce?
The Chamberlain, Litges, sensed that the situation was even more chaotic than he'd imagined and rushed over here! Where is he? I'd like to drag him home with me if I could, along with all the incriminating evidence of wrongdoing!
He's dead around here...
''Around!''

 Too many tremendous things had happened, and I didn't care about his death or anything else.
 It's no use, it's his humanity.

 I'll leave the small things for later.

''That's right! More importantly, Mr. Radey! Be well!
Long time no see, Satome.

 Radie, who had been training in the Hungry Demon Realm all her life, had been lost to the world... or was already considered dead.
 However, there were those who continued to believe in her survival.

 That was the party members who had shared life and death adventures with the hero.

"Brave Lord.......I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you at that time due to my disappointment......!
Mr. Sesha...!

 While my friends are happy to see me again, I am working extra hard.

However, we have trained our minds while you were away, that we have. Now....! Once again we are in the battle line of the heroes...!
I won't let you be alone again!
"Come on, hero, give the word! We will fight again under your command!

 Brave party reunited!
 Hey wait a minute, get out of there, dog! Because now they're an emotional scene!
 You're going to have to fight me some more!

No, thank you.
""Eeeeeeeeee!"

 It was Radey who kicked off the dedication of his friends.

''It's nice to see everyone again, but I can't let you guys hurt Fenrir-chan with your offensive methods! Please meet up with Gacita, Zebi and the others to deal with Little Fenrir!
But now that we're together again...!
'The fight is no longer contained to our party size! It's a battle for the survival of mankind! Let's each fight to be useful!

 What a calm and collected judgment on Radey's part...
 His training has made him mentally tougher than ever.

 Each person here has their own role to play....
 I'm going to keep standing where I belong.

 Demon Wolf Fenrir, what is your role?

 What is your role?
 Where do you keep holding on?

 If you can see that, that would be your true destiny.

 Are you also born to destroy the Demon King?
 Is that what you were born to do?

 No, no.

 There is no such thing as a natural order for someone to destroy someone else.
 Because everyone who is born into this world must exist in order to create something new.

 Like so many others in the offensive and defense that is now being waged on this battlefield.

 The Rizzet.
 The Gacita.
 The Zebiantes.
 The Droyer.
 Mr. Bestfred and the knockers.
 The young Four Heavenly Kings.
 Radie and his friends.

 And Bezellia, who was deeply wounded and is now wandering between life and death.

 They are aware of what they have to do and are doing what they have to do to the best of their ability.

 To make this world a better place.

 If only it could be called a calling.
 That monster beast should have one too.

 It's a good reason to be in this world.
 I'm sure it's a good reason to call it a destiny.

"GAHHHHHH!

 The dirt giant pounced on him and strangled the massive body of Fenrir in a feather-light choke hold.

''Now, strike as hard as you can while I hold Fenrir back!
''Gigant Makia-san!''

 The demonic beasts belonging to that earth are also trying to do what they have to do for this world.

 I'm beginning to understand somehow.
 What does it mean that the heavenly destiny I have to slay with this sword.

 Grandpa Smith.........

 You are the old man who made up this Hermes sword and died pockmarked when he made it up.
 Was your natural destiny to forge this sword?

 How satisfying it would be to be able to do the job you were meant to do!

 With the sword, which is your natural destiny itself....

 I will discern my heavenly path.

The sword by heaven......

 I swung that sword at the demon wolf.
