Zid closed the distance between him and Yusef in an instant.

　But this time he doesn't go into it.

　He just comes close and says to the knights.

'Well done so far. I'll take care of the rest.

""Yes!"

　The knight gave up his place at Zied's words.

　Everyone understood that there was no one else suitable for the job.

''I-Style--[One Flash]

　Zied unfolds the magic.

　Accompanied by a peculiar call that is different from what is available in the world for easy imagery.

　A line of wind pressure caressing the side aimed at Yusef's neck. Yousef raised his right hand in response to the invisible magic power.

''This level of density and amount of magic power is such a contrivance--''

　It was like catching Phil's sword.

　It was as if it could see through Zied's magic.

　But the moment it touched Yusef's steel skin, it splattered blood.

''...... kukkoku!''

　He instantly senses that he has an order of magnitude more cutting power and deflects his upper body. So you can barely avoid it.

　The magic power naturally disappears. I'm not going to be the only one who has been able to do that.

　Yousef's arm, which was cut off both up and down to the elbow of his right arm, hangs slackly.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.

You!

　The blood came out of his skin that he had been so confident in - and he was so proud of himself.

　Youssef, whose pride was hurt by this, shouted with anger in his voice.

''What, you're surprisingly fragile.''

"Don't get your head out of your ass with the human race!

　Yousef becomes more agitated by Zied's agitation.

　But what if.

-- if he had tried to take it like that.

　Youssef, who could look back on such things, was able to cool his head.

'I see, I'm stronger than Phil. But so what. You think you're going to win just because you hurt me.

　Zied didn't respond to Yusef's words.

　Instead, he confirmed that the knights had moved away.

''Participation--【Flame Rose】''

　Ruthlessly, Zied speaks the next magic.

　Countless thorns of fire grow out of the ground in places.

　This time Youssef won't let his guard down.

''Lilvrai Brace!''

　Yousef unleashes an icy spell to offset Zied's magic.

　A wave of ice spreads around Yusef.

''The amount and quality of magic power shouldn't be enough for the demon race to lose to a human race, but ......?

　Every time Zied's thorns touch it, the ice evaporates.

　It doesn't even buy a moment's time.

　Rather, on the contrary, the ice is even blocking Youssef's own vision - if you notice, the flaming thorns surround the top, left, right, front and back.

　There's barely anything underneath, but it's the ground that the thorns are growing on.

　I didn't feel like plunging in any further.

(But it's as powerful as this: ......!　If you're a human race, it's one-shot magic: ......!　(Then, if only this could be stopped!)

　Yousef releases the magic power inside his body.

　The amount of magic power released is so great that the magic power reacts with each other and a roaring sound like a beast is heard.

'Whoa!　Lilvrye, Brace!　Lilvrai Braces!　Lilvrai Braces!!!!

　Youssef, who had no place to retreat, used a large amount of excess magic power to fire off a series of magic while screaming, which resembled a scream.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Fu...... fuhahahaha!　How about that!　I can squelch the best of you!　This is a realm that a mortal like you will never reach!　And the ability of a man who will become a demon king!

4.... [Thunderbolt]

What about ......?

　Yusuf's suspended cheeks twitched. He looked up at the top of his head with a fearful buzzing sound.

　There was a mallet made of lightning, large enough to easily grind up a person.

'Ha, a bluff!　For such a formality: ......!

　The hammer is closing in with a speed that does not resemble its huge figure.

　Youssef, who was commanding in his speech alone, plans to use transference magic to separate the distance.

''Transference!''

--Yusuf intuits.

　It's a long time to activate shifting magic, despite the enormous amount of magic it consumes.

　It requires you to imagine your position and the position you're moving to, and the figure you're moving to, the figure you've made, and all that sort of thing.

　That's why.

　There's no way Zied would miss this unmoving opportunity. But still, he didn't move slightly.

　He understood that the hammer of lightning was so sure of its power that he couldn't get close to it.

''You have good instincts,''

　Zied says honestly.

　But - it was a word Yusuf didn't want to hear.

'You can't afford to--!

　The view is interrupted for a moment because of the transition.

　The next thing that appeared was a minimal distance from the hammer's damage, just enough to keep it from coming. It was still in the square.

　However, it was avenged.

''--Don't show it to me, bbo-woo!

'But it's just a hunch. It's naive to look at a place to make a transition. You should have relied on memory alone.

　Where Youssef could only reach by transference, Zied had also appeared.

　Yousef was sent flying, terrified by the speed and the presence of Zied. Then he realized that he had been kicked.

　After sorting out the situation, he finally realized that the place he was kicked at - the place he was kicked at earlier.

'Whoa, oh--!

　It's too late for shifting magic or another magic. I don't have a foothold, so I can't resist with my physique.

　He could only glare at the man who kicked him, Jide.

　A heavy mass fell to the ground with a thump. In the meantime, Yusuf had been thrown in.

　The ground was burned by a lightning strike.

　It practically engulfed the heat that exceeded the thorns of fire as much as it was condensed.

　Immediately, the mallet dissipated.

　All that was left was the ground with a hole in it and the burnt surroundings.

''Ah, aaaaahhhh. ......

　A feeble cry of agony could be heard coming from the hole.

'You're alive. That's great.

　Jide looks at the hole.

　Pus, pus, blackened skin that burned and burned. His face is twisted in frustration.

"Let's go again. [Thunderbolt]

Why, why, why, why do you think there are monsters like you in the human race?

Monsters?　Well, maybe a little stronger, but I've only lived in a place called Forbidden Forest Bottom for a long time. Not a great reason.

'Forbidden Forest Floor ......?　The designated S-ranked ......?　Is that really all you've got?　A human race as big as yours: ......!　Impossible!　Impossible!　That's so much stronger...⁉ You're yet another ......!

I don't know. I don't know. Bye.

　It's not interested.

　It didn't seem to be interested in its own power or in Yusuf.

　After saying that much, Zied dropped his mallet - and then he dropped his hammer.
