f*ck off!

　The three of us at the same time, the eight funeral blades of the end of the day started attacking.
　I threw the sword of the enemy I killed at them.

　--Geez! --

　Raggedy flicks the flying sword with his blade.

　I see.
　So you have the ability to deal with that attack with that reaction speed?
　Even with just the actions I just took, I have a pretty good grasp of their competence.

　The three of them are keeping an eye on my Line of Fire.

　In other words, the Third Curse.

　The advantage of the Third Forbidden Curse was here as well.
　My first opponent didn't know how few times I could release the Third Forbidden Spell.
　Therefore, the enemy would have to be aware of the Third Forbidden Curse's vigilance as well.
　Furthermore, they are also wary of the Mad Cherry Blossom, which has changed its appearance after sucking blood.

　The Third Forbidden Curse.
　《Mad Sakura》.

　As the battle progressed, these two impressions would have become stronger.
　Hence--.

　--Gosh! --

　The vigilance he had used earlier in the fight against the deadly attack had faded.

　--Gotch! --

'Nuh-uh?　Gugu.........?

　A vicious blow hits Robis' left arm.

　The flesh is crushed and the bone is cracked by a dry breaking sound.
　However, as expected of an assassin from the apocalypse.
　He has that much spit in his face.
　A quick defense, but it was just in time.

　You have to be able to use your own personal computer for this purpose.
　As soon as he saw that it was unavoidable, he was instantly ready and determined to sacrifice his arm.
　He also has a keen instinct for battle.
　At the same time as the attack struck Robis' arm--

　The remaining two split off to the left and right.

　Simultaneous attacks from three directions.
　In contrast, I have two arms.
　As long as I don't use the third forbidden curse, the only means of attack is my left arm and my sword.
　The ninth forbidden curse is difficult to lock on to and cannot be used because the enemies who are wary of the third forbidden curse disappear quickly from view.

　--Do you want to try and do it?

　With his deformed arm, he fires a back fist at Ragiri, who is approaching from the left.
　With the power of the fifth forbidding wing, he assists in the balance and speed of his body.
　I put all the strength into my right arm at once.
　And to the enemy in front and to the right--

'What?　What?　This orbit--!


　----The two dragons...


　Although incomplete, they roared valiantly.

　The two dragons ate into the final blade.




''--hah......................!

　-- Pop, pop, pop --

　Drops of blood fell to the ground and made a stain.
　Exhaling heavily, I look at the reddened scene.
　Several lacerations running through my body send signals of pain.
　But it's a faint signal.

　The chunks of flesh falling around me were no longer sending out that signal.
　Those that were once the enemy are now nothing more than blood, flesh and bone.

　A bird was circling above.
　Did they smell the smell of death?

　The sweat that came to the surface mingled with the blood.
　It was another reasonably hot day.
　The sunlight was gently burning the ground.
　The cheers of the Great Sanctuary, which occasionally turned into loud voices, seemed terribly distant.

　This side and that side.

　Divided.
　I thought vaguely.

　--It's all right.

　That's all right.
　We should be halfway across.
　Our side and the other side should be separate.

"...our side and the other side.

　I look at the things that were the "Eight Funeral Blades".

　It was a phenomenal coordinated attack.
　When it comes to the only point of linkage, he was arguably the strongest opponent I've ever encountered.
　It was a great decision to reduce the number of players by two at first.
　If all five of us had been present, we would have struggled even harder.
　No.........if all of the Eight Funeral Blades of the End No. 8 other than those who were here were present......
　Even for the Seven Sins End Fang, it could have been a much more difficult battle if it wasn't for the pride of underestimating the unknown opponent's strength and the mistake of losing their numbers as fast as they were touched by Hibigami's wrath (well, as far as that place is concerned, there is a sense that our side's face was too powerful).

　The Threat of Coordination.

　The reason why the attack on the Holy Ruins is basically done in teams is because the candidates can coordinate with each other.
　Skillful coordination will increase each other's strength many times over.
　It's frightening.
　If the four of us had been working together, we would have had an even harder time.
　But even so, I still wouldn't have given up.
　Even if all four of us were together, I would still be prepared to risk everything for the sake of the people we were supposed to protect.
　To me at that point in time, getting scared was the worst thing I could have done.

　
　However, in that situation where two attacks were needed in one movement, even though it was pseudo-improvised, he was able to increase his moves because of the "Ssangyong".
　Still, if the opponent's strength was a little higher, he wouldn't have used the "Ssang Long".
　Moreover, my still imperfect "Ssangyong" was all I could do to intercept.
　However, the fact that I was able to use it in an actual battle should be of great use to me in the future.

''Kurohiko-dono.......are you okay?

　Seeing that the curtain of the battle had fallen, one of the members of the group called out to me.

''Yes, it's okay. And most of this blood isn't my blood.

　A member of the group spat at my blood-soaked form as if he felt it was horrible.
　I sheathed the blade of consciousness, full of killing intent.

''I'm saved.''
What?
'Thanks to the members of the corps for setting up the entrances and exits, I felt safe to fight. Thank you.

　This was a fact.
　If there is no one in the room, or if someone else is standing in the doorway, the distribution of consciousness will be very different when you are fighting.
　With that in mind, I thought that coordination was important in terms of place placement.

　I hold my left arm without a scratch.

　All the prohibitions were lifted once.
　Feedback is about as good as it gets.
　It's good.
　I can still fight.

　I sheathed the completely docile demon sword.

''Um...I wish I had one, but I'd appreciate it if you could give me something to wipe the blood off...do you have one?''
'What?　Uh ... yeah!　Hey, get a couple of absorbent cloths!

　He was called out to me and ran to the wagon where the group members were parked.

''And, well as a holy warrior, you guys are more senior than me, so you don't have to be respectful, right?

　I chuckled at that and said, but the group member showed his refusal.

No, what you have done is worthy of respect. It doesn't matter how long you've been in office or how long you've been in office. I ... respect you. So respect is not unnatural, either.
'What?　Um ... well ... it's an honor ...

　I was embarrassed and my voice was low.
　And I was glad that these people were safe.

''But then again, as expected of Kurohiko-dono.

　A member of the group looks at the corpse of the final eight funeral blades.

''Our ranks are so different that we wouldn't have been able to make it into a fight... as a holy warrior who takes up the sword, I'm sorry to say.
'I wasn't someone I could afford to do it with either. That's why I'm now ... worried about the rest of the defense team.

　With an enemy of this level, I'm worried about whether the other defense teams can handle it.
　Moreover, the attackers this time were not the Nine Eradication Finishing Generals that Rokia had reported.
　Didn't General Nine Eradication and Final General go out directly this time?
　Or - are you headed for the other gate?
　If the Nine Annihilation End General is more powerful than the End No. 8 Funeral Blade, then this is bad.
　However, if General Nine Eradication and Final General is the core of the End No. 10 Indicator Army, then the probability of him going out directly is low.......
　I can't be optimistic.

''Besides--''

　I don't know why.
　For a little while now, I've been in a state of turmoil that won't go away.
　For some reason, I can't help but think of that person's face.

　--something strange is going on in my chest....

　And even though he's the least of the defense team, he's the one who shouldn't have to worry about it.

　--Hun, there's no need to worry about it.


　For some reason, I can't help but worry about Currier-san now.

''Kurohiko-dono?　How can I help you?

　I'm disgusted.

　--This feeling...

　It was like having ice rammed down my spine.
　What, huh?
　The south gate, in that direction...?
　There's something about the south gate...

Hey, Blackhawk!
Shana?

　It was Shana who slipped past the group members in the doorway and came running in with a wave of her hand.

'What's going on?'
Well, I thought maybe I could do something for you, too... and what's this?
This is the Tenth Legion, as usual. Somehow, we managed to win.
Hmmm, you're a bit late to the party. I wish you had come earlier, so I could have covered you.
I'm just glad to hear it.
"Hmmm... but you have defeated the assassins of Doomsday Land all by yourself. That's my girl.

　Oh, yeah.

"Um, Shana.
Hmm?　What is it?
''I'm sure it's all right here, but just in case, would you be willing to guard this western gate with the Knights for me?
That's all right, but what about you?
I'm wondering what's going on at the south gate.
'South gate?　As I recall, the man guarding the south gate is Currier, right?　Hmm.........in a sense, this is the gate that I feel most comfortable leaving to you. Nevertheless, Machina will be assisting at the north gate, and Rose is at the east gate. So I'm sure all of the gates have resolved their shortages in terms of strength. Therefore, there's no problem for you to move freely.
Makina and Rose?
It seems that Varaga Wormood of the Empire has gone to Currier's place. And I'm here with a surplus.

　Well Varaga Wormood is.

But if you want to go to Currier, I'll be happy to help you. But in return, I'd like you to let me watch you do it alone sometime.
"?　What are you talking about?
Don't worry. I'm just here to collect my sons.
..........
Ho-ho-ho, I'm dead serious.
'I should say that's a joke!
What is it?　You want me to help you?　Like this?
..........

　Hand movements..........

No comment.

　...Totally, this guy.
　He's very good at easing the atmosphere of the place.
　But soon, Shana-san switched from joking mode.
　And then she slapped me on the hip.

I'll leave it to me," she said. I'm sure you're feeling a little less tense now.
Thank you, Shanna.

　The fifth curse, redeployed.

　I flew up into the sky and aimed for the south gate.
