「The Dullahan Grace and the three Dullahan Lords are there . 」
Kazane was viewing them from outside the door . There was a considerable distance to the cathedral's altar, but each figure could be seen in detail with the remote viewing of Kazane's Circlet of Wisdom .
「Grace's sword is a bit gigantic, isn't it?」
Its overall length was 3 meters .
「We'll let Naoki use that . 」
Kazane said, and Naoki replied「No, that's impossible,」but he was ignored . It wasn't that the older sister thought her idea was superior . Kazane simply decided not to listen to Naoki's words as much as possible . Her reason was to avoid anything that would make her nauseous, but there was nothing like that . She would not have become nauseous in the first place . In other words, it was unnecessary to ignore Naoki .
「The Dullahan Lords have magic swords of lightning and fire, but what's the last one?」
The man from the party they talked to earlier couldn't explain in detail . But it seemed to invalidate magic .
「Uwa . That's a Magic Killer . 」
「You know of it?」
Kazane asked after Louise's remark . Even from this distance Louise knew what that was . It was because the magical power concentration in the area around the sword was extremely low .
「That thing's made from the bones of a gigantic monster on a neighboring continent . It invalidates magical power itself . It's terribly tough to deal with . It isn't a magic sword . 」
So it isn't a magic sword . . . grumbled Kazane, so Louise added a short remark .
「By the way, it is the natural enemy of Astral types . If the opponent is a devil it's terribly effective . 」
「Yosh, let's get it . 」
The battle against Diablo seemed to be a painful experience for Kazane . With the dragon claws on her greaves she would now probably be able to deal damage, but it was better to have as many options as possible .
「Then Kazane will take that guy?」
「Yeah . Me and Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon will target that guy . 」
「Then I will take the thunder guy . 」
Yumika raised her hand .
「Do you want Normal Tatsuyoshi-kun or Yuuko-nee with you?」
「Yuuko-nee . 」
Naturally .
「Then Normal will go with Naoki . 」
「Yes . 」
Normal Tatsuyoshi-kun and the two mass production models had already been activated . Since he had recently seen Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon's ability Naoki did not look down on Normal Tatsuyoshi-kun for being small .
「Tiara and Louise-san support Naoki, Jinrai-san . . . . . are you fine alone?」
Jinrai nodded after Kazane's question with a ferocious smile . It seemed he wasn't planning to give up his opportunity to try out his two spears .
「Well then, shall we move after we can see?」
Saying that Kazane turned on『Skill・Information Link . 』The battle started .
And the first thing Kazane and the others did was to split to the left and right . Nobody advanced down the center because it was the bombardment line for mass production models Tatsuyoshi-kun A and B .
Mass production model Tatsuyoshi-kun had less total Muscle Clay compared to Normal or Dragoon . However, the reduction was in the amount used for the lower halves, and both arms had a rather large amount . Both arms of the mass production model Tatsuyoshi-kun were constructed solely for throwing, and they began throwing stone debris with all their power .
The Dullahans were surprised by the sudden mass of rocks flying towards them, and while Grace managed to block with its sword, one Lord's torso was hit, one's sword was knocked away, and one of their helmets was directly hit and was knocked away .
「Chance!!」
When Kazane saw that she used Skill・Dash and started running toward the knocked away helmet . The helmet weak point of a Dullahan was usually held in the left arm . If it was knocked away there was an opportunity to crush it and start the battle with one destroyed .
「Aneki . It's bad, their magic swords can launch killing slashes!」
Naoki warned his sister, but of course Kazane was already well aware of that . The important thing was to pay attention to the distance .
「Skill・Golem Maker・Nurikabe-kun」
Kazane stopped advancing for a moment and made a wall with the staff in her left hand .
The body of the Lord with its head blown away and the Lord with the destroyed torso respectively launched lightning and flame slashes toward Kazane . But attacks with an ordinary magic sword's magical power could be sufficiently prevented by Nurikabe-kun . Whereas Kazane's target was already in range .
「Skill」
The important thing was the distance . First she approached the Dullahan's head until it could be reached with Material Shield . Then Kazane brought it immediately in front of her with Material Shield .
「Killing」
And when it arrived in position, Kazane as usual,
「Leg!!」
Struck with an attack . With the kick the Dullahan Lord's helmet was completely destroyed, and the lightning sword possessing Dullahan Lord's body collapsed into pieces . Then the skill『Thunder Chariot』was added to Kazane's skill window .
「Wow, mine was taken . 」
While saying that Yumika headed for the Dullahan Lord with the knocked away sword .
「Then I will get my share as planned . 」
「Leave the other to me!」
After Naoki's words Kazane headed for her knocked away original target, the sword『Magic Killer . 』It seemed she was gathering it because she thought it would troublesome if it was picked up by the enemy .
「That one is mine too!」
No, it was just her own desires getting the better of her .
Everyone headed for and began to fight their respective opponents, and Kazane obtained the Magic Killer and the lightning magic sword without difficulty . Yumika didn't activate her Wolf God Transformation to defeat her Dullahan . There wasn't much to fear from an empty-handed Dullahan . Together with Yuuko-nee's claws she destroyed the head in the left arm .
And Naoki,
「Uraaaa!!」
He operated 8 magic swords that were literally『Flying . 』
Naoki's perfect magic sword controlling ability from his Unique Skill『Magic Sword Operator』combined with the magic sword『Operator's Magic Sword』allowed him to fly the others like they were remote controlled drones . Each magic sword rotated, slash, stabbed, thrust from above and below, shot ice bullets, and spun like a whirlwind to damage the Dullahan Lord . In addition, the Dullahan Lord was toyed with by Tiara's Flare Bird underfoot and Tatsuyoshi-kun's repeated blows .
Furthermore, Naoki was currently disconnected from『Information Link』because his technique required a great amount of concentration . There was a danger of self destruction from the information overload of controlling 8 swords along with the burden from Information Link . Naoki attacked unilaterally, first cutting off the right arm of the Dullahan Lord, then the left arm, and then the falling helmet was pierced by eight swords to settle it .
「Fuu, it ended . And then…」
Tiara kept Flare Bird in reserve and looked at the last battle .
「Oh dear . They're full of vigor . 」
Louise grumbled, but her gaze was serious .
The confrontation between Jinrai and Dullahan Grace . To sum it up, the battle was dreadful .
Dullahan Grace was slashing its gigantic 3 meter sword back and forth at an obviously unnatural speed . This was because the weight was reduced when it was lifted due to the Earth element magic sword's ability . Dullahan Grace's Strength combined with the ability of the magic sword meant the sword was being repeatedly swung at a terrible speed . However, Jinrai saw everything, dodged, and countered .
Just like when he would fight against the Wolf God Transformed Yumika, Jinrai only barely avoided the attacks so he could counter with his two spears after every attack . Seeing that form objectively, Yumika could understand how she couldn't hit him even with her Wolf God Transformation .
Kazane was watching beside her and had already cut the『Information Link』with Jinrai . It was the same kind of reason as with Naoki . Reading an opponent's movements while receiving the information would be too much of a burden on his concentration power . It wouldn't be an improvement, and continuing to fight with it activated was unreasonable . That was a problem that always existed when using『Information Link . 』
In any case, Jinrai avoided the storm-like slashing and precisely destroyed the opponent's armor; first he stopped the opponent's movement, then he destroyed its right arm before he finally dealt the finishing blow by piercing the head in its left arm with both spears at the same time . It was one of Jinrai's techniques named『Twin Flash . 』
And with a crash Dullahan Grace collapsed, and the pieces tumbled across the floor .
「Hmm . Was that it?」
That's what Jinrai said, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead . Those storm-like slashes were not an ordinary sword technique, and the power was dreadful . Jinrai's mental strength was greatly worn down from continuously avoiding those slashes with paper-thin margins .
「Master, please take this . 」
Yumika handed a towel to Jinrai . Jinrai said「excuse me」and accepted it . And while wiping his sweat Jinrai asked Kazane .
「Well then, there's a magic sword, but how will we use it?」
Jinrai was gazing at a certain 3 meter magic sword, but as one might expect the size made it a weapon no human could wield . Kazane naturally couldn't wield it .
「Umm . Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon, how about it?」
Dragoon reacted to Kazane's words by lifting it up . He could lift it . He then swung it around, and there seemed to be no problem .
「Hmm . He seems to be able to do it . 」
「That's right . It looks fine . But he can't walk and swing such a huge thing at the same time with only the Childstone's output . I'll put it in the Warehouse for the time being . 」
So saying Kazane took the Mysterious Warehouse out of her Item Box and stowed away the big sword and the scattered armor . Unlike the Ghost Knights, this armor was considerably hard steel armor .
In addition, the Soul Cores were contained in the helmets, so since they aimed at attacking those they were naturally all broken . For the time being they took them in case they could still be used as material .
「And so Naoki gets the fire magic sword . 」
「Yes, the more swords I obtain the more my attack strength increases . 」
Naoki nodded and looked at the fire sword . Kazane was in front of Naoki and pulled the lightning magic sword out of her Item Box .
「Hm . Then let's also give you this one . 」
So saying Kazane handed the lightning magic sword to Naoki . Naoki saw that with a surprised expression .
「But Aneki, didn't you really want one?」
She did a dogeza because she wanted one so badly . She was thinking about beating up her younger brother to obtain one . But Kazane shook her head .
「Well, just think of it as a reunion memento? You better keep it safe . 」
Kazane said with a smile . From watching during the battle Kazane noticed that Naoki needed magic swords to maximize his effectiveness . Combined with her desire to protect her younger brother Kazane was suddenly able to endure handing over the magic sword .
「Thank you Aneki . I will treasure it . 」
And Naoki hugged her present tightly and smiled as he replied .
(Oh, when he's like that he really resembles her)
Tiara's chest throbbed for a moment as she watched him, but the person herself did not notice the omen .
And then came the cleanup . Kazane and the others lifted up the two adventurers killed by the Dullahans and headed to the entrance . When the bodies were handed to their respective parties the men placed them on horses and returned to their companions . After seeing them off Kazane and the others returned to the feudal lord's mansion with tidings of the Dullahan subjugation .
◎ Abandoned Capital Muruage, Feudal Lord's Mansion
「Wow, you are strong . Everyone came back safely . 」
Kazane made a bitter smile at Yohan's words . Were you assuming we would die when you were seeing us off . . . she thought as she read between the lines, but she didn't say anything in retaliation . It was an ordinary bitter smile .
「Since it's the middle of the day those guys were confined indoors . If it was night they could run around with their headless horses and challenge us at their own convenience, so it probably would have been very different . 」
When Jinrai replied Yohan faithfully nodded .
「Ah yeah, those were scary . They rode villainous carriages drawn by headless horses . They continuously ran around in the middle of the night, and the ones with wheels clad in fire and lightning were particularly frightening . Those alone killed any exterminating mood . 」
From Yohan's words Kazane thought that the skill she had acquired was the carriage .
(Let's try it out after this)
Wasn't it called the Death Coach . . . Kazane thought to herself, and thought that it would be fine even if the headless horse wasn't summoned . They had enough horses to do the job .
「By the way, did Yohan-san only come here recently?」
「That's right . It has been just short of a month . 」
He said he was wandering around until then because he couldn't enter a city with the appearance of a skeleton . He said this place seemed cozy .
「There is something I want to try for a bit, is that fine?」
After Kazane spoke Yohan replied「If it isn't dangerous,」and Kazane nodded and took out the Infinite Key . She dropped the Key so that it hung by its chain .
