The [Nameless No-Face] is a demon with a relatively similar physique to the [Dark Night Prowler (Night Walker)]. The limbs, woven with vines like ropes, only took the form of a human shape.
　It was just an imitated shape, like a straw doll.

　The body and other parts of the body were soft, and the face was reminiscent of a hollow in a tree. It had a hole in its face that looked as if it had been dug out of the sand by hand and was filled with darkness.

　--It's bad luck, but it's a blessing.

　There were two reported cases in the past. The traits that turned up in those few moments would be a huge advantage.

"A mutant, S-rated, but with two of us, his rating will drop to an A. I'll take care of the others... I'll deal with him I'll deal with him and all you have to do is never, ever, ever distract him.........
Uh, yeah...

　Tesfia retreats inching back as she draws her sword, even if she doesn't get the point of the fluctuating rates. The demon with its eerie physique is in her field of vision, but the fact that she is really looking at it has never been more unsettling.
　It seemed to her to be too unstable as an entity. There was no way she could lose sight of such a huge body, but the figure that hung its arms slackly as if its soul had been drained seemed incredibly shadowy.

　The rarity of it made it almost impossible to lose sight of it, even though it was in my field of vision.

　Rubbing one eye, Tesfia stared sharply again.
　But even though it was only a blink of an eye, she couldn't blame the monster.

''What?''

　Tesfia shook her gaze impatiently at the sudden event. But she couldn't even acknowledge Ars's appearance there, let alone the demons.

　The battle had already begun. It was also behind Tesfia.
　The gap she rubbed her eyes through was deadly against this demon. Exactly for a moment, to the extent that it could be described as such, 【No Face】 had appeared behind Tesfia.

　--In this darkness!

　A huge arm swinging down from behind Tesfia [No Face]. Arus, who followed him from the side, pulls out his AWR and flashes it.
　The high-density magic power that resides in the blade is manifesting a [Dimension Thrust] - but.

　As expected, the blade that cuts off everything cut through the sky without touching the body of 【No Face】. It's not that it disappeared like a mist, but its existence itself completely disappeared.

　This is the characteristic of being called non-existence.
　Its existence is vague and diluted. The act of "seeing" in recognizing the other is the only thing that can define its existence. A lot of information is generated for both you and the other. Hence, existence is anchored in space.

　Ars instantly aligns himself with Tesfia's back.

''Eh!　What?
''The [Nameless Existence (No Face)] can only be captured by two or more people who are visible. Fortunately, there are two of us, so I was relieved, but I was caught off guard.

　And in the case of 【No-Face】, at least two or more people must see the demon's appearance to confirm its establishment.
　Otherwise, 【No-Face】 would not exist there.

　The minimum requirement for establishing information is two people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture [No Face]. In the meantime, No-Face is able to move freely through space at will.

　And No-Face is extremely averse to being seen. I don't know if it's instinctual, but it probably knows that it's a weakness.
　That's why once it's out of sight, it becomes difficult to catch it again. With the two human eyes, there is a limit to the vision, and without fail, the [Nameless No-Face] will aim at that blind spot.

　The [No-Face] that had completely disappeared from sight could not be found now.

It's not such a difficult enemy as long as you can catch it, but once you lose sight of it, it's quite a troublesome enemy. Alright.........!

　Before he can spin the following words, Ars's back suddenly leaves Tesfia. It wasn't so much that the warmth had left her as it was that it was suddenly gone....

''What am I supposed to do!

　Anxiety binds his mind. In the ominous darkness, Tesfia poured her magic into her sword, desperately searching for her enemy.
　She could tell that something was going on.

　But it was too fast, and not moving, for Tesfia to catch it. All she can tell is that the demon and Ars are fighting, and that is all she can see.
　The sound of his AWR catching the demon was dull at times as well.

　There was an attack and defense going on in the area, but Tesfia couldn't see it.


　Even Ars was unable to give him a decisive strike to defeat the enemy. Due to the scarcity of information about its presence there, it would disappear immediately.
　This is the same principle as the transition gate and so on.
　More to the point.........

　-- [Mutual transfer of information between two points [Shuffle]] and above. In the sense that it doesn't fix the existence itself before moving the existence, there's nothing we can do about it.

　But it wasn't that there was no way to strike at all. The physical information added up in order to ensure an attack, so the moment of the attack would be an entity. In other words, it was also the moment when the attack would hit.
　But in that moment, the fatal wound would be avoided.

　Even now, the demon instantly follows after the demon has moved, and Ars will follow. But even if he ran with all his might, he was still unable to overwhelmingly catch up with the no-face opponent flying through space.

　The only reason why Ars is now desperately chasing after it is because he is not relying on sight, but chasing the traces of movement - the traces of magic information.

　--chief, my body is heavy.

　After perceiving the dizzying traces of magic power, he immediately began to move. If they stopped every single time, the next step to take would lead to a delay.
　However, it was definitely becoming impossible to chase No Face at Ars's speed.

　Fatigue was building up, but there was no way he was originally going to be so worn out as he continued to run. It was as if the core of his body was heating up, or if not, even his speed of thinking was slowing down.
　Ars, who had stood on the battlefield for many years with only his own body, could agilely sense a delay in the transmission of limb movements.

　The physical ailment, the cause of which is unknown, but it is only certain that something is going on inside - no, Ars understands the cause of the ailment. However, there is no way to resolve it now.

　--You're going to go after Fia, who is not visible, right?

　Moving at high speed, Ars, who is moving at high speed, will be the next target, perched on the Tesfia, and kicks out the trunk with great force.

　But right after that.
　The no-face that suddenly appeared in space was exactly behind Ars, who kicked out.
　No-Face, who swung over to wrap his arms around his body, flicks like a whip while twisting his body. It's a high speed sword that would be comparable to the speed of sound.

　There wasn't enough time to adjust his stance in the air, and by the time Ars sensed it with his senses, it was already too late.
　It's a high technology that is originally worthy of praise, even if it's just barely clad in a thin layer of protective barrier on the body.

　However, the arm that was released with the enormous amount of magical power is like an ejection, and it sends Ars flying.

''Guhaha!

　The body slammed into the ground and bounded mercilessly. It was Tesfia who looked back at the tremendous impact.
　Again, she didn't know what had happened. But the intensity of the impact made the dust dance more than it sounded, and it shook the tree that Ars had hit last.

　Ars gritted her teeth as her vision and even her brain shook. The taste of iron in his mouth evoked a feeling of vomiting, but he only held on to his consciousness. He realizes too late that he's been outsmarted, and even the magic he emitted to deal with it is slightly delayed. The result of the body's discomfort gradually created distortions, and this is the result.

　It feels like the magic inside my body has been stirred up into a jumble. No, it was actually true. Right now, most of the magic power eaten and absorbed by the Grasshopper had not been replaced in Ars's body.

　Poof, I spit out blood, but there was already no time for that.

　The [No Face] had already stopped crossing the space and was supplely pointing its arms towards Tesfia. It was also abruptly snapped off with a plop from the middle. As well as the amount of magic power that was poured in, part of that arm was converging into a thin arm, and it was no longer like a stake that had been assimilated into pitch blackness.

　Although it resembles the information-fixing magic called [Sewing Stake 《Old Cuffs》]

　--Darkness system?

　Al!　As she called out, Tesfia held her sword at the ready and looked for the enemy while keeping the blown-up Ars in sight. It's not that she can't already afford to conquer her fears, she just looked for the enemy, not showing the slightest bit of carelessness, but her full attention was focused on the enemy's appearance.
　Still, no matter how much she tried to search from earlier, she couldn't catch the demon, let alone the figure of Ars, no matter how much she tried to search for it. The sound from earlier barely gave her only direction. Still, in this darkness, the moonlight that occasionally showed itself could not reach her. So much so that the trees had blocked the sky in this place.

　A moment--.
　The exercise of magic, the foreshadowing of the results of that understandably magic-infused alteration, Tesfia realized as if she had been played. It was possible to determine that it wasn't constructed by Ars, by the quality of the magic power that seemed odd.
　When she shook her head, something black was indeed visible.
　As it should be, that black stake that hadn't even been released had already moved in front of her when she turned around and was thrusting its tip at her.

　Under a control so precise that even magic could not be avoided, it had moved through space and was being released. The switching of coordinates after it appeared - it would be better to say that the magic itself was transferred.

　Not even a blink of an eye was allowed, and the stake seemed to penetrate the marrow of the brain as easily as it could, let alone the eyeballs.

　There was no way Ars would be able to watch it in silence. A ray of haze appeared in his eyes, those eyeballs.

　--【Information mutual transfer between two points, 《Shuffle》.

　In the blink of an eye, Tesfia and Ars switched positions, and this time the stake was right in front of Ars, a few millimeters in front of him. It would be enough time to prevent it if it was only known in which position it was released.

　Immediately after Ars appeared, the stake was eaten........in the blink of an eye.
　The insubstantial Gla Eater preyed on the stake, but at the same time, Ars twisted his head. The stake was made of a part of the demon's body, so there was a twisted stake inside as an entity, and it snatched his cheek.

　There is no doubt that the magic that the demon dealt with as Ars read was [Sewing Stake 《Old Cufflinks》]. Unlike what Ars knows, it contains something that is a catalyst inside.
　It is a settled rule that magic is countered by magic. However, there is also something called magic that breaks that formula. It's the 【Old Cufflinks】.

　It's not a good idea to have a good time, but it's a good idea to have a good time. However, if the magic used by the demon is referred to as a complete state, then the one that was just released was probably not limited to a single contact.

　What is the final form of magic that will be reached if its effects are analyzed and considered even more endlessly.

　Even if it touches a human being, it fixes information. In other words, all the magic information flowing through the body is forcibly added to the information. Of course, he wouldn't be able to move his body, let alone his limbs.

　That's why Ars absorbed all that magic with 【Raging Predator (Gla Eater)】.

　And without a moment to catch his breath, Ars pulls the chain, readies his AWR and runs out.

　But right after that, an unbelievably loud voice resounded in the outside world. In the outside world, where night is supposed to hide and lurk like a breath of air, the girl's voice rang out.

'Al, please follow me!
