Episode 32. Ikki-to (3)
“Go.”
At Lichen’s small chant, the entire legion begins to move.
He doesn’t let go of his intention to kill even as he passes by Ariel and me. But to the end, they only looked at it, and no one harmed my body. It may have been natural since it was an order from the corps commander.
I glanced at the demons heading towards the castle wall.
My strategy depends on how strong the S-ranks, wizards, and knights on the wall can hold out.
Looking at the momentum of the demons, it seemed obvious that they would break through in less than an hour. Our number was overwhelmingly small to block the demons’ potential that poured in as if surrounding a castle wall.
If something starts to collapse, it will collapse like a domina.
Besides, it’s not just the walls that you need to worry about.
I look at the demon in front of me. Even holding out for a few minutes from this guy would be too much for me.
Three minutes is probably the limit if you can hold on well.
So, you have to make Lichen use the magic trick within 3 minutes.
If you use the fifth gear, you will be reluctant to advance until you recover because your demonic energy will be consumed a lot.
There is also a way to use it against it, so I had to finish it as quickly as possible.
“Okay then, let’s get started.”
He picks up Miles.
Miles. Ranked 8th in the Demon Realm, his main abilities were mimicry and dependence.
It can change into any object, creature, etc., And it is possible to mimic something that does not exist in this world.
In addition, it not only greatly increased the user’s ability level, but also had a special ability.
In addition, since the body itself has the power, it had to be seen that this battle was against at least two higher-ranking demons.
As the aura was applied to the sword, the red eyes that could be seen from the inside of the helmet made a difference.
“Are you at the level of a sword master? Right. If that’s the case, it’s possible to give Peremus a shot. Phasma, the Fifth Sword Master, was also defeated, but he gave Peremus a good shot.”
He shakes his head and agrees.
“My name is Lichen. What is your name?”
I know but ask. Is this chivalry?
“…… Prause.”
“Prause, show your potential. The power that Peremus showed!”
Koo-kwa-kwang!
As he opened his power in earnest, the ground cracked open and a ferocious force came out.
“What Magi? … !”
“Milles’ magic is also included. If you look at Miss Magi alone, she will be worse than Peremus.”
“You talk a lot to yourself.”
“!”
Richen approached from the side before he knew it and swung his sword.
Kaang!
It is a tremendous power. Vibrations are transmitted to his hands along with the sensation of his body floating. At last, the strength in his hand was loose and he almost missed the sword.
“This crazy…… !”
This was by no means something I could endure on my own. It was possible to endure because Phasma’s instantaneous reaction shed some of the shock.
I barely keep my balance and look at him. After all, without the power of skills and artifacts, it was impossible to respond to higher-ranking demons.
“Hmm? It’s a lot lighter than you think Are you sure you gave Peremus a shot? Mana seems real……. What…… Is it good?”
He kicks the ground. In an instant, he grabs me from behind and thrusts his sword towards my neck. It was a speed that I dare not follow with my own eyes. However, it was Phasma that controlled my body right now.
Boom!
The hair is slightly cut off. Phasma immediately spun around his body and raised his sword.
“”Ascension Sword”!”
Kang!
When the sword touches, the magic and mana collide and become entwined. The demonic energy emanating from his sword is disturbed for an instant, and he is pushed away.
“This is quite usable! But I still don’t have enough strength!”
Closes the distance in an instant and swings his sword.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The sword swings in the direction of the impact whenever the swords collide. Again, the absolute strength gap still cannot be narrowed.
I felt like my arm was about to be ripped off even though I didn’t even touch the sword a few times.
“I think you lack strength for a knight. I didn’t even give half of my strength right now. Are you sure you gave Peremus a shot?”
“…… Would you like to ask him directly?”
Knock-Geek—!
This is what he says, but he doesn’t have the time to brag. It felt like the muscles in my forearms were tearing just by touching the swords. It felt similar to when Stella dealt with Peremus in the form of an image.
No, maybe more than that.
“Since ancient times, a knight with good skills can judge the skill of an opponent by striking one or two swords together. You are overwhelmingly weak compared to the sword masters I killed!”
Kaang!
He strikes the sword with all his might. His body rises and is pushed away.
“To think that with such skill, you could throw a fire at me. Sisi.”
Lichen took a posture unique to swordsmanship that I know. At the same time, she begins to coalesce, as air is sucked towards her sword.
“Demon sword type 1 「Demon cutting」.”
“「Nakyoung」!”
Quang!
Phasma hit the flying black and purple sword at the right timing. Accurately cuts through the sword and blocks it.
“Huh? Physical strength is weak, but mana is strong……. Prause, you should have become a wizard, not a knight. It is an unchanging truth that the level of a sword master must be based on tremendous strength. I don’t know how you got there, but you don’t fit the article.”
“…… There are too many dirty words. If you intend to teach me, stop?”
I adjusted my posture and took a deep breath.
If you want to lead the battle in your favor, you must not collide with force alone.
The biggest advantage I have right now is the amount of mana I can load into artifacts. I don’t know the defense power, but the attack power is equivalent to the corps commander level.
“I’m sorry. When I see guys who are weaker than me, I unknowingly give them advice. Because you are so much weaker than me.”
The opponent is too strong to think of the next move. If I continued like this, rather than wasting time, I was about to die from being swung around.
I tried to save the number of artifacts as much as possible, but it seemed impossible.
“I see. Then it will be a little different from now on.”
I relaxed my hand slightly.
“Pasma, shift for a while.”
“Okay.”
“「The copycat」.”
I reached out and looked at Lichen in the mirror.
[Recognize the target 「Lichen」.]
[Follows the powers and skills of [Lichen].]
One minute from now, I will jump over Lichen.
I put mana into the sword with full power.
“What… The momentum…… !”
First, smash the milles that Lichen is holding.
Miles is a living sword. When mimicking an object, my defense becomes stronger than that of Ekabel, but the amount of my mana is estimated to exceed even Lichen’s.
Then there is no way you can break it.
Kaang!
“Kieek!!”
A screeching sound and a scream erupted from the sword. The demons who were running towards the castle wall turned around.
“What—!”
Even Lichen was taken aback by the unexpected power, so she drool. As time goes by, I am at a disadvantage. She makes her go all out in one minute.
“”Welcome to dance”.”
A blow. Apart. Three strikes.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The response is fast.
While avoiding Lichen’s attack, aiming for her blind spot and swinging her sword, there is no gap in sight.
But as time passed, I was the one who had the advantage.
Every time swords collided, Milles screamed desperately. It was because I was concentrating on hitting only one part of the sword.
“You bastard…… !”
She hurriedly deflected my sword, as if she had judged that she couldn’t survive by blocking Lichen.
“Devil Swordsman Type 3 [Evil Immediate Attack]!”
As I watched the sword strike drawn diagonally, I also muttered a skill.
“Devil Swordsman Method 3 「Evil Immediate」.”
Kaang!
It wasn’t enough that I received his sword accurately, so I slashed it. An embarrassing voice erupted from within the armor, which had been completely drained of power.
“What?!”
“Kkeek!”
“Welcome to Chung Island”
A vital part exposed to the distance.
I thrust my sword straight into the heart.
Kang!
Precisely blocks the sword even when not centered. However, the sword started to crack because it had already been shocked several times.
“What! How the hell did you, who was weak just a moment ago…… !”
Be impatient. The more impatient you are, the more you will move according to my will.
From noble mtl dot com
“No way! Are you saying you took the strength to judge my level against me?!”
“Okay. How about that?”
I immediately closed the distance and thrust out my sword.
“Welcome to Yeonchung Island!”
Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang!
“Kieek…… !”
Ignoring Miles’ screams, Lichen blocks all stabbings and reveals her murderous intent. The surface of Milles was mostly crumbled and in a mess.
“…… I will kill you!”
The demonic energy emanating from him soars far into the sky. I feel like I’m starting to be sincere.
Okay, be serious. The moment you use the secret, your soldiers will fall into hell.
“Devil Swordsman Type 5 「Evil Demon Island」!”
“Devil Swordsman Method 5 「Evil Demon Island」.”
They hit the ground almost simultaneously and rush towards each other. The moment the blue sword and the dark purple sword meet, they explode.
Quang!
The dust rising like a cumulus cloud swallows us as well as the demons around us.
The field of view was blocked, but now that Magi was visible, there was no problem in identifying Lichen’s location. As soon as Lichen confirmed her standing position, she swung her sword into the air.
“「Welcome to the Island」!”
The moment the flying sword erased the dust and hit Miles, the sword broke and struck Lichen directly in the chest.
“Kkeek!”
“Heuk!”
Split Lichen’s armor and cut her body. But she couldn’t completely cut her body apart, only blood came out from between her armor and her body didn’t collapse.
“How can you imitate the sword technique I developed?!”
You ask me while staggering while holding onto your chest.
“It was obvious.”
“You bastard…… Are you saying you’re not a hero even with that strength and skills?”
“Because I am not good enough to become a hero.”
“…… Whoa, it’s been such a long time. I never thought there would be someone who could draw out my power. As an apology for ignoring you, let’s go this way with all our might.”
When he injected Miles with demonic energy to speed up his recovery, the blade grew back.
Tsk, it’s not easy either.
Still, this alone consumed a lot of demonic energy, so it wasn’t a bad result.
“「All Demons」.”
At the same time, the magic that covered his whole body was condensed into Miles, and the shape of the armor was deformed. Horns grew, the size of the armor increased, and red patterns appeared.
This was the reaction he showed when he used his full power.
“I will show you my true strength.”
Lichen takes a more serious posture than ever.
It’s just one minute. I don’t know how many sums I can compete with in the future, but I need to sort it out before the recoil comes.
