【Samurai】 Masamune has been close to Aerial-san in the party for a long time.
　His swordsmanship is said to have reached a miraculous level, and he can even break magic.

　He was a wanderer when he met Mr. Aerial and was invited to join the party.
　Masamune refused, saying he didn't intend to make a spectacle of his swordsmanship, but Mr. Aerial was too persistent, so he made a condition.

　Fight and listen to the loser say one thing.
　I don't know the details because they don't want to talk about it too much, but it was apparently a draw.

　Masamune, who thought dungeon conquest was just a show, thought there was something to be done if a strong man like Aerial would take it seriously, so he joined the party to do it together for a while.
　The two have been fighting together ever since.

　The [Samurai] who controls sword skills that split the earth, split the clouds, and break magic.

''I can't, a little, fun.''

　Mr. Aerial is laughing like a child.
　I cannot see Mr. Masamune's hand. No, it appears to be a blur.

　Every time that happened, there was a high-pitched sound and a popping sound of air.
　He is cutting Aerial-san's wind blade.

　Masamune-san dived into his pocket, a scooping flash.
　Aerial-san caught it with her holy sword as soon as she could, but.
　A crack, a crack appears.

　The holy sword isn't the sword itself is superior. No matter what kind of shoddy product it was, it would be transformed into a holy weapon when a spirit inhabited it. The power and durability of attacks and the passage of magic power will increase dramatically.

　For example, the holy sword of Phoenix is a cheap one I gave him as a graduation present.
　It's not a great sword that a thirteen year old who doesn't have much money can buy, but the fire spirit made it a holy sword. On the contrary, that was a bit of a surprise because it was something that had changed in appearance and became better looking.

　So even if it was broken, another weapon could be turned into a holy sword. That's not the problem.
　What was the problem was that he damaged a weapon that blessed the Four Great Spirits with a weapon that wasn't.

　There's a big difference in that he was clothed in the 'Flame of the Gods', so it might not be meaningful to compare them, but even with my fist that released the horns, Fenix's holy sword didn't get a single scratch.
　............................Something other than simple 'power', is it?

　I've heard that the Katana is different from an ordinary sword and is a weapon that specializes in 'cutting' rather than 'striking and slashing'.......
　It's not something that wields a heavy lump of iron with a rigid force, but something that allows you to cut down your enemies with a sharpened blade and your own techniques.

''Well, what shall we do?

　Aerial-san seemed to be enjoying himself, but at the same time he was also concerned about the rear.
　It's Wraith-kun and his friends.

The only thing that matters is that you don't have that, Wraith-kun. Seiken?　Every spirit contractor has one.

　Mr. Sitley, in his remegaton, says.

'I can't carry anything heavier than a spoon. Isn't she pretty this time?'

'Haha, are you still upset about what you said earlier about not being pretty?　It's kind of cute, it's--wow.

　Mr. Citry dropped back down as quickly as he could.
　A huge arm cleaves over his head. The wall behind him is destroyed with a roaring sound.

''Eh, why are you angry?''

　It was Fran-san who attacked me.
　It's hard to tell since she doesn't have an expression, but she certainly seems to be wearing a swift atmosphere.......

'I'm not angry.'

　Fran extends her huge right arm, which she pulls out of the wall, and swings it down at Mr. Sitley like a crushing insect on a tabletop.

''Wow, hey, you're so big and fast!

　Citry-san skillfully uses black magic - slowing down and disrupting at the right time - to avoid Fran-san's attack.
　Black magic seems to be able to pass through the [Destroyer] opponent as well. Or she's in a state where she's, well, angry and unable to deal with it well. Either way, what works is what works. It's great to know this.

'Oh, I get it. I don't like how Sytry said you're cute, Lace--

I'm not angry.

　Ms. Fran clasps her open hand and shakes off her fist.
　At the same time, the speed increases and Sitri-san fails to avoid it.

''Huh ... not cute, definitely not cute. It's too cute. It's so hard.''

　I don't know if Ms. Citry herself has that idea, but her transformation into Remegeton has its advantages for me.
　She can recreate a combination of characteristics.

　In other words. It is possible to cover Remegeton's appearance with the 'characteristics of an ordinary witch'.
　Aren't Reme and Remegeton the same person?　There may be some people who suspect that this is the case in the future. There are people who are already aware of the top-notch talents and people who know them.

　I'm a human being. You can pretend to be a demon, but if they find out that you are pretending, Reme and Remegaton will be connected.
　It's not unreasonable to think that summoning magic is caused by magic tools, or in fact, it's true.

　But when Sitely-san is disguised as a Remegaton, if he shows off his witch characteristics.
　It's a good idea to show them that Remegaton is a witch who is good at black magic.
　If we can create the image of a witch who is also good at close combat, we can make people think that closing the distance is a 'dangerous' option.

　Even though I was trained by Fulkus-san, my own pure fighting ability is not as good as my real job.
　This is a harsh reality that is not easily reversed.
　On top of that, I decided to become a brave man who brings victory to demons.

　Making them think I'm more of a threat than I actually am will help them win.

"..........

　Fran-san is still expressionless, but her mouth is open in a small way. Surprised, huh?
　Citry-san's - right arm was receiving the huge fist that was swung from above her head.

　That arm is covered by something black. And something black and pointed protruded from the elbow.
　Of course, it was fake. As for the thing that covered his right arm, he only used his transformation ability to recreate its appearance.

　The thing protruding from the elbow is a witch's horn.
　It's not a master's horn.

　She seems to be able to reproduce them well as far as the innate ones are concerned, but my horn inheritance is also an irregularity.
　The crushed horns were established using a secret technique, in exchange for a long period of pain.

　It can't be recreated - at least not currently - and the one coming out of her elbow is the horn of a demon she knows.
　Even if it's not me, demons are a race that makes them inherit horns in the first place.
　By covering Remegeton's figure with 'another demon who inherited the horns', she is recreating me.

''It's not that everyone is a ya or anything, you know?　But each person has their own ideal self, right?　Citry wants to be pretty all the time, if he can.

I'm not interested.

Well, you're pretty.

Not a pretty face.

　For a moment, Fran-san made a pained face - it looked like she was in pain.
　Goo, goo, goo, Sitri-san pushed back Fran-san's fist.

''Haha, you're indeed a witch. When you're a staff member, you can't lose to Fran, can you?

　Wraith-kun muttered as if he was impressed.
　By the way, the reason Sitely-san doesn't atomize is because of his caution. The wind magic that defeated the 【Vampire】 that atomized in the third layer. If he eats that when he materializes, it's bad even for Sitely-san as expected.

　And about Wraith-kun's statement, if I had a power comparison with Fran-san, I would be crushed and exit.

''Wraith.

Okay.

　Fran shook her left fist. That arm belonged to an ordinary girl - it was no longer an ordinary girl's.
　It had the appearance of being clothed with rocks due to Wraith-kun's earth magic.

'Oh, God. This was a ya...''

　It was then that I thought I was going to be hit.
　Citry-san's figure disappeared.

''Huh.......did you get a reaction?

　Mr. Sitley's voice sounded surprising.
　She appeared behind Hamill-san and nearly slammed her right arm into him.

　--It's the magic of the Four Heavenly Kings [Time Demon] Agares-san.
　It's as if he skipped time--space movement.

　Agares-san and Citry-san are not on good terms with each other, though not to the point of acrimony. We often see the development of Sitri-san being sticky with the Demon King-sama, and Agares-san getting angry with him.
　So he didn't want to use it.

　But the magic is real. Hamill-san reacts to Sitry-san's right fist that suddenly appears behind him.
　He turns around and flashes his sword, and it collides with his right fist.

　But it doesn't stop there. It seems that the "flying slash" was also activated at the same time, and Sitry-san's head was blown off--no.
　It missed.

''It's.......dangerous.''

　Mr. Sitley muttered.
　Hamill-san's reaction was brilliant.
　Normally, the demon that appeared to take advantage of the gap would have returned.
　Precisely, he sent a slash with a trajectory that bounced off Remegeton's neck. In that instant.

　Even so, the attack was still off.
　It was because Citry-san's height had changed.

　His physique remained the same as Remegeton's. His right arm is still the same.
　Only her body has returned.
　To the [Dream Demon] Citry.

　The change in the position of his head meant that the attack was off. Citry-san is much shorter than Remegeton.
　The dainty face under the hood stares at Hamill-san.

''Hey, you're just like Samurai-san-- already.

　The charm (charm) was cancelled.
　It's because Ewan-kun's Wind Blade is coming at me.

''There's a lot of them, aren't there a lot?　Isn't it bad that we all pick on one girl?

If you can get around this many, at least you're not a normal girl.

　Wraith-kun's freeze held her feet and the floor together, freezing them together.

'If it's a freaky girl, can I be cold?'

'I'd like to be nice to everyone, wouldn't you?　As long as it's not a dungeon.

　Citry-san's right arm grabbed Hamil-san's magic sword as quickly as possible and did not let go.

''Hamil-dono!　Stay away!

　Hamill-san showed some hesitation, but in the end he obeyed.
　Just like [Warrior] Alba of the Fenix Party, those who were attached to the weapon would hesitate to let go of it even if the danger was imminent.

　The speed of the wind blade slowed down for a moment so as not to involve my companions.
　Hamill-san leaves.
　The wind blade re-accelerates.

　But with that momentary delay, Sitely-san gets out of the predicament.
　With the magic sword, she cuts off her own leg - severing it.
　Something minuscule - I guess it's an insect - transforms into something minuscule and avoids the wind blade.

　............................If you're fixed to something, you can't transform? That's why I cut my leg off.

''Ku, ugh........!

　That's not all. He released a 'flying slash' and carved a laceration on Yuan-kun's shoulder mouth.

''You're good. But I caught him.

　It was Mr. Wraith.
　He held up the thumbs and forefingers of both hands and combined them to form a rectangle, and then stared into space through it.
　Hamill-san, who was about to go back for his magic sword, noticed it.

''The wall...?　Is Mr. Lace doing this?

Yeah. It's like being trapped in a clear box. No vapor or bugs can get through. There's no direct transference from the bug. I got it.

　To use magic, you need magic power. It's impossible in the state of a worm.
　I wonder if Citry-san has noticed, and he returns to the [Dream Demon] state.

''I was hoping to fight Remegeton a bit more, though.

''If it's a naughty dream as a [Dream Demon], I'll show you, but I don't think it's okay to let an adventurer do what they want in a dungeon.

''Haha, I guess you avoided exposing the General Staff San's hand. Well, you can fight him.

Wraith. Finish him off.

Oh, well, yeah, well.

　I cross my fingers and the gap narrows. The box seems to be getting smaller with it.

'....Enough. It's all Mira's fault.

　Citry's body has changed.

　His left arm is that of a werewolf. A huge arm on the level of Markosias-san. The right arm is that of a witch.
　As if to stop the box from shrinking, he stretches his arm.

''.......hmm. That's an amazing resistance.

Wraith. Crush...?

No, I'm fine. That's too gory, and I'm just gonna have to freeze--

　The next moment - Masamune-san left the stage.

'Shit I've spent too much time on this.

　Wraith-kun's expression twisted as if he regretted the blunder.
　''Yes.

　Sitry-san didn't fight to annihilate this member.
　She was fooling around with her outstanding skills, but her magic power was also just barely there.

　Masamune-san surpassed Aerial-san with her sword skills.
　And Masamune-san was now the adventurer's enemy.

　Aerial-san stands around to not kill him, but Masamune-san has no reservations.
　It's impossible to hold them off for long. It won't take that long before either of them are wounded enough to leave.
　It was just a matter of standing around to buy that time.

　And now, Aerial-san made Masamune-san leave using a spirit technique.
　【Wizard】 Michelle-san was missing a leg, and 【Alchemist】 Liu Yi-san was missing one arm.
　Skaha-san lost her holy sword and Suri-san lost her bow.

　Even though it was conditioned to 'not kill' until the very last minute, these members were the ones with the sword skills that could push them to this point.

''Oh good. It's already empty.''

　The iced-up Citry-san left without further ado.
　The fifth layer was successfully conquered with two casualties.

　But the joy of victory on the faces of the adventurers.......wasn't there.
