The demon screams in disbelief as he is hit by my slash.
　Apparently, he realized that this is the 《Sword God》's special killing skill.
　I haven't been defeated by the 《Sword God》 in the past, have I?



Once activated, Infinite Break will continue to deliver a series of attacks until the opponent is defeated.
　Moreover, since the time lag between slashes has been cut to the limit, it does not allow for counterattacks.

''No, it's not. I'm just an 'unemployed'.
Unemployed?　I'm going to...　There is no way that this technique can be used on an unemployed person....

　Even so, as expected of a high-level demon race.
　Although they don't have the blessing of a goddess like humans do, their bodies are just as strong as the living armor of the "Sword God" or even stronger.
　You can't tell me that he can still talk even though he's already suffered more than forty slashes on his body.



　He finally silenced it.

　Just the seventy-second slash to end the streak.
　The demon's body, which had been floating in the air from the sword pressure, crumpled and fell onto the half destroyed stage.

''So this time you died without leaving a curse.

　Although my sword is a karma thing, it's indeed not even comparable to the sword that the 《Sword God》 would have used.
　After unleashing so many slashes, it's already falling apart, and even if the sword possesses you like it did last time, your life expectancy will soon come to an end.

　But even if the "demon god" is good, I might have killed that guy too.
　Well, but he had it coming, so it can't be helped.


!" ""Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"


　Suddenly, a loud voice sounded as if the earth had collapsed.

''Wow!　She's bringing down the Demon God!
And all by myself!
What a guy!
Heroes!　He was the hero!
The return of the "Sword God"!

　Apparently, the people who hadn't escaped yet and stayed in the hall were watching me fight.
　They were shouting in their mouths in excitement.

''Hmm. At any rate, I guess we can resume the Sword God's Cup now.''



　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇



　--Dragonfang's headquarters.

Hey, that's not spirited enough!　Don't just rely on your skills, put more heart into your selfishness!
Yes!

　Sword fights and angry voices flashed through the training room.
　The one who was still strictly instructing the young swordsmen was a middle-aged man with a ship arm.

　He was the current guild leader of Dragon Fang, Rod.

　After that Sword God's Cup, he returned as the guild leader.
　His previous lethargic attitude seemed to be a lie, and now, more than in the past, he was single-mindedly striving for the path of the sword, as if his one-armedness was nothing more than a lie.

　New members had joined Dragonfang.
　Longing to fight in the Kenjin Cup, more and more applicants came to join.
　Among them were many of the top A- and B-grade swordsmen.

　Of course, what they longed for was none other than the Kenjin Cup.
　That first round of the Sword God Cup.
　He was that 'unemployed' boy who had single-handedly defeated the legendary 'Demon God' that had suddenly appeared and saved the city.

"And yet...

　The woman who had finally reestablished the guild of her dreams and was looking at the crowded training room with a smile - Lilia - suddenly shouted loudly.


''Why are you, the most important one, gone, Arel-san?!


　You said you'd marry me!　And since the person in question wasn't there, it was Lilia who also called out whatever she wanted by the way.



　　　　◇ ◇ ◇



Sir, are you sure you want to do this?

　As we were being rocked by the carriage, Gohsa's father looked back at us over his shoulder and asked, "What's going on?
　As the city wall surrounding the sword city was gradually fading away, the old man, who was always there for us, said, "The top swordsman who won the Sword God's Cup has left the city.

''It's unheard of for a top swordsman who won the Sword God's Cup to leave the city?　And tourists are coming in droves from all over to see the hero who saved the city.
Hmm. That's what I thought. No more unfinished business in that place.

　I respond.

　It's been about three months since I defeated the resurrected demon race and won the Sword God Cup.
　In that time, I've mastered every skill related to swords.
　There is no longer anything to learn here.

''And there's no swordsman stronger than me.
''Haha, that's true. After all, you have defeated the legendary demon tribe that even the Sword God at that time had a hard time with. You can't find a better swordsman than our guest anywhere in the world.
But that's not always the case.
?

　Even before I came to this city, I had mastered the Sword God skill.
　Probably, at that point, I was already stronger than any of the swordsmen in the City of Swords.

　But it was by no means in vain that I came here.
I was able to learn skills that weren't available in the 《Sword Princess》 and 《Sword God》, so I was able to rebuild my basics and become able to fight in a variety of ways, and without a doubt, I had improved even more than before.

　I think I'd be able to do that now.

　My destination is my parents' house in my hometown.
　The world's most powerful swordsman is there.

'I might be able to beat my mother now.

　Haha, that's an interesting thing to say, customer," Gosha laughed.
