After a few days of renewed determination, Ars and Loki had gone out early in the morning to hunt demons in the area. Breakfast, of course, would be procured locally.
　Since they had been living in the outside world for a long time, they were well versed in this kind of survival technique. Of course, the food we could get was limited by the season, but we could still get by, which is a good thing in the outside world.

　We've also researched the possibility of securing fish in the creek when we made a hastily prepared outdoor bath last night.

　Because of this, the breakfast is too simple for Loki to get his arms around. Fish and edible berries. After evolving in poor conditions, many trees bear fruit year round.
　But again, they are few and far between, and they are competing for the limited number of berries with the animals that are preparing to winterize them. But they are already behind the rest of the world in terms of seasonality.

　Still, we were able to secure a small quantity. The vitamins and other nutrients are perfect, but the taste is not as good as it should be. You can't replace your back. If I had something else to eat, I wouldn't take this sour taste.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. In short, the purpose of this is to make it a habit to act immediately after getting up in the outside world.


　Currently, Ars and Loki were a short distance north of the cave. The fact that the landscape is a circular wilderness, as if already separated, is a bit worrisome, but this is also well thought out.

　They had blown the whole area around here to tears and were using the balding circular flatlands for Loki's training.
　No matter what kind of battle Kurama will be waging in the future, a wall will stand in the way of Ars. No matter what route they take, a clash is inevitable.

　Perhaps it's Beric, and he's aware that Ars is being set up. If that's the case, it's hard to imagine doing nothing, as we've seen so far.
　Even so, he also thought that it would be impossible to deal with it suddenly, and there was next to no material to convince the seven countries. In particular, Rusalka's emotions shouldn't subside until she captures Ars.

　Either way, there was nothing left to do but fight. Krama or a single mage.
　Even if you are forced to choose between the two, what you will do is the same.

　Even if it's a single opponent, Ars is already dead and unable to do it.

(You have something to protect, right?)

　With that, Ars was pensive despite the fact that he was in the middle of a battle with Loki. There wasn't much he could do, as Loki was also prepared for it. No matter which way he turned, it was a single magician level that he would be facing.
　It's also two people here. During the battle, a situation where they are not dispersed is desirable for us, but it is an easy expectation.

　One of the countermeasures against such a Loki is the AWR she holds on to. It's supposed to be a birthday present, but Loki's reaction when he received it was exactly that: he cried big tears and didn't let go of it even when he was sleeping, so I guess I'll just leave out the fact that he thanked me a lot later on.

　The original knife that Budna had had custom made for him.
　The knife was designed to store and condense electricity from the highest purity mithril and static electricity generation, and it was the type of knife that was stored in a sheath like a survival knife. The overall length was over 40cm and the blade had a streaky gap in the blade to allow for the construction of an electric field. Two thin blades rubbed against the middle of the blade, causing friction.
　This could lead to the fragility of the sword blade, but it wasn't a big problem for a magician who could strengthen it with magic power.

　Moreover, this is not designed for slashing.

　The sword blade made of high-purity mithril is white and silver. The hilt is made of cords woven with anti-magic reinforced fibers.
　Even with Budna, the master craftsman said he should name it for the workmanship that made him groan.
　In response, Loki asked Ars to name it, but he already had a name in mind. Or rather, it is correct to say that the idea came to him when he saw this AWR.

　He named the newly added Loki's AWR as 【Gekka】.

　Currently, I am also training to use the two types of AWR, but I expected that Loki, originally a detecting magician, would not have much trouble manipulating magic power at a high level. It's no longer a matter of getting used to it.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


　As expected, Loki's swallowing is also quick, and Arus switched his thoughts for a moment.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. A roaring thunderclap gushed out.

(As expected, I'm getting used to the Force.)

　A blink-and-you'll-miss-it attack with no time between conversations. Already, Loki doesn't even have time to blink when using the Force.
　Ars didn't look at the blow from behind and let the knife interrupt it.

　Originally, preventing it against the lightning system is close to folly. You can't prevent all of the electric shocks even if you have overwhelming interference power like Ars. Of course, this can be alleviated to some extent by doubling the magic power to prevent it.

　If we were to say it, it's similar in nature to the [Lightning Blade] of the lightning system. In this case, it's not magic, but rather the automatic conversion of magic power, so it's optimized for the users of the lightning system.

　However, Ars's AWR was covered by an anti-magic barrier. A thin air film was applied by it, and the lightning that had nowhere to go, as if it had been played, pierced the ground while discharging.

　Of course, it was a sure-fire way to pierce the void, and even if it was prevented, there was not the slightest hint of stagnation in Loki. He had already begun to move on to his next action.
　Ars detects this with the edge of his vision and another vision.

　The Force, even if short in duration, is a double-edged sword that forces it to exceed the realm of humans. But as long as you don't use it in the wrong way, it will certainly leave your opponent behind.
　He surpassed Arus, who was confident in his speed.

　That's why Ars also has to concentrate to the point where he can't pull out a stamp, even if it's training. Of course, you need to add or subtract when using magic.

　Loki must also have greatly exceeded his fighting ability before he became a detection magician as a sense. Considering the newly-learned magic, it's certain that he's improved from then. Defeating demons has not improved his ranking much. It's about within 100 at this stage. I'm sure he's competent enough. He should have the ability to be in the 5th and 60th rankings at most. His original potential is high, and there are times when I doubt that this is helping him grow as an Ars.

　Ars perceived the five knives floating in the sky with a solid response.

　They are forming a magnetic field with each other through an electric current to the knives that he had been using mainly [Tsukihua]. In a sense, the properties similar to the AWR used by Alice were reproduced by the system. This is because of the peculiar nature of the gold spear material.

(Until now, I could have determined if this was a diversion or not.)

　Yes, thanks to the new AWR [Tsukihua], static electricity caused by friction occurs every time you swing your knife, which helps to speed up the activation of magic. It allows you to stop the composition stage just in time.
　It's hard to determine whether it will activate, and if you're not careful, it can be activated immediately. On top of that, the instantaneous speed at which the Force is used is such that it is possible to leave even after it has been activated.

(Can you make it in time for this? Well, I still feel a little sorry for him for not getting eaten.)

　Ars fired an AWR into the air above his head. All that's left is to inhibit the magic based on the knife while being built up in the sky.
Setting the knife to automatically pass through the coordinates specified by [Auto Heights], Ars bent down with no hands and stomped his feet.
　Immediately afterwards, as if lured in, the white and silver AWR was poked from the right side.
　Almost simultaneously, he shifts his body by half a step and a lightning-covered knife passes in front of his chest. It takes his arm and scoops up his leg.
　A fluid and skillful body technique. Loki keeps the momentum going, feeling resistance everywhere in his body, and his body floats. Loki's whole body was spun in the air, and when he found himself in the air, he flew helplessly through the air.

''I guess it's like this...''

　Ars completely distracted.
　He secured his position in the air against centrifugal force, only up and down, and landed with his knees relaxed before turning once.
　When he turned around and saw Ars' back again, Loki kicked the ground, convinced that he had taken one completely.

''.....　Huh!

　But when he takes a few steps, Loki's feet are too heavy to lift. His toes caught the ground. He stumbles a step or two to keep from falling, and grabs onto Ars in a hug.
　He buries his face.

'You're okay, this is the limit of continuous use around here.
..........

　There was nothing more to say. Loki buried his face and felt more comfortable than shame.
　And more importantly, he didn't want her to see his face now. Because I'm sure he's looking sloppy.

　But the next moment, Loki noticed the slight reaction of Ars's body a beat later, too. It's not so much that he is a divine person, but rather that he is a little surprised.

　Pouring his gaze in the distance and in the direction of a point, Ars simply mutters, "You're here?" and Loki immediately remembers who it is too.
