When I say a few words to him, Horace mumbles and raises his upper body only.

"You're not bad at all. But you don't think this is the end for Ora, do you?
No way.

　The one I just mentioned was just a handful of annoying bugs.
　That's exactly what I didn't even give a hundredth of my seriousness.

''Hmph. You are quite strong. But I'm even stronger than you.
That's odd. I was going to say the same thing. The fact that you don't know the difference in strength between you and your opponent speaks volumes about the power of your Shadgar nation.
'......　Don't f*ck with my country!

　The rage that Horace cloaks himself with rises.

　He holds the huge axe of the example that had fallen to the ground in his hand and stands squarely against me.
　Then Horace grins, the corners of his mouth fishing up.

'Come on, come on, come on. From what I've seen so far, you're a wizard, aren't you?　Go ahead and unleash your magic all you want.
I don't know what you're up to, though. In that case, I'll let you go.

　I form a magic formula for the Fire Spear.
　Earlier, Lara smelted ten spears of fire, but I have ten times that number - a hundred.

"It's just a small check first.

　Fire Spears are fired at the same time.
　Spears of fire attacked Horace from all sides.
　An average warrior would be able to avoid one or two, but it would be impossible to duck all of them.

　However.

''Whoa!

　Horace lets out a yell.
　Then he swings his axe and tries to knock off all the fire spears that are coming towards him.

'Oops!　Horace Player. That's an eye-popping axe move!　I'm going to knock down every single piece of Kurt's magic!''

　Hmm. From my point of view, it was still a slow move, but it was certainly quite a move by this era's standards.
　However, the real-life voice overlooked one important thing.
　Not only did he knock off and nullify every single one of them........

''Ho, that's an interesting imitation.

　One fire spear was struck back with that axe.

　It left the power and accuracy of my magic intact.
　I used my warding magic to prevent the Fire Spear from betraying the Lord and turning its fangs.

'Ha, ha. What do you think, are you surprised?

　Out of breath, Horace asks.

'What?'
'You didn't expect your magic to come straight back at you.

　Horace put on a good face.

　Horace did not use magic. Nor was magic granted to the axe.
　A simple body(s) body(s) power(s) was all that was needed to beat back my magic.

　In order to make it possible, the wind pressure that causes even a storm. I'm sure you'll need a speed that exceeds even light.
　But.

I'm not sure if that's the limit for a mere boast of power. I could hit back a hundred of them all.
Don't be silly.

　Horace contorts his face, as if he thinks I was joking.
　But it's true. It would be ridiculous to have him get carried away at this level.

'Then let's give it a try.'

　Quikku beckons to Horace.

'Attack all you want this time. I don't use magic. I'll be able to prevent all of them with just this wooden sword. It's easy for me to do that against you.

　It was the wooden sword he received from Desmond.

''Don't be ridiculous!　There's no way you can completely block Ora's attack with something like that wooden stick!
What's up?　You don't think you can?　Stop barking and get on with it.
You'll be sorry for yourself when you're dead.

　Horace grips the axe with both hands.

'Whoa!

　In an instant, he closes the distance between us.

　And then, just as with Lara, he took a series of blows with his axe.
　A hundred blows in a single blow. All of them are blows so heavy that they could blow away even a huge demon.

''It's still this much?''

　I let out a sigh.
　I manipulated the wooden sword with one hand and taunted Horace with a series of blows.

''Wha........!　What do you mean? That's just a wooden stick, and this is a hatchet!　How come you haven't broken!
Yes, this is a simple wooden stick. However, depending on how you use it, it can be compared to a great sword like this that can never be broken.

　Even without granting magic, there was no way they could lose to Horace and others who just wielded the axe with force.

'Was the country of Shadgar a small village?　
"....!　You're making a fool of my country!

　Dare to provoke and lure Horace into a fight.
　In combat, anger is just a hindrance if it is not well tamed.

　Horace's axe in a straight line of attack.

Hmm.

　He nudged it away from the side with his wooden sword.
　Then the axe left Horace's hand and fell to the ground.

''d*mn...!

　I step on Horace's hand as he tries to pick it up immediately.

'Well, you're lying about not using magic!　There's no way Ora can keep up with a wizard who doesn't use magic!
Well I didn't know you were this lowbrow.

　Grigori and stomped on his wrist.

　Horace didn't even let out a single scream, although his face was twisted in pain.
　He seems to be quite a patient man.
　This will not be the end of the fight unless you break his pride.

Let's compare strength.

　I lie down, prod my elbow and hold out my right hand.

"Do you know the game called 'armchair fighting'?
Of course. In my country, they call it arm wrestling. So what?
A sideshow. You wanna play with me?

　Horace's pride was hurt, and his expression was even angrier.

　Ude Tosi is a competition in which the person who clasps each other with one hand and pushes it to the ground is the winner.......
　It is said that there is a lot of skill involved, but this is probably the best way to have a simple test of strength.

Are you insane?
'Yeah. If you can beat me in this armchair, I'll make an apology or whatever it is. You can win the match too.
You're not gonna lie about that word, are you?

　Horace gets into the same position as I do, with a smug look on his face.

'Push me when you want,'
Well feel free to!

　I'm forced into Horace's right arm, which is as thick as a log.
　But..........no matter how much he pushes my hand, it doesn't move.

"Ggggggggghhhh.....
Is that for real?
"Don't lick it!

　Horace's face turns as red as a tomato, perhaps because he put too much effort into it.

　Well, let's end the entertainment.

Let's put a little effort into it.

　I press his right hand lightly.

　Then.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

　His arm was bent in a new direction and he fell into the ground.

Hmm, if Horace's hand had scraped the ground, it would have been the end of it.

　However, a crack had formed on the ground around Horace's right hand.
　Apparently, Horace's right arm was fractured by the current impact, and he could only let out a voice in pain, "Ugh........

''Don't get carried away with that level of bravado. You should have at least been able to lift a mountain with one hand before you challenged me to a fight.
