c365 (2/2)

Well, if it’s just to the extent of the skills a normal Hero can learn, I can use them That’s a bit of the power I have

「Defense Link EX」!

I hold out the shi+eld, and call out a Skill Name

This is the first ti this one

It’s the first ti a skill directly from the shi+eld, but there’s no way I can’t use it

The Skill Defense Link was just as it sounds

Its effect was… all attacks those I consider allies take are treated as attacks directed at e

EX is… a Hero’s limit

There are some levels above, but so the Goddess won’t notice, I’ll stop at this

A barrier-like e area, as I activate the skill to protect my comrades

With half-hearted defense, the skill is suicide

Of course, the current me can take this with ease

Protect everyone That’s my role

Never again will attacks reach my comrades behind me

The radius is about 20 meters If I raise the output further, I feel the bitch will notice it

I don’t really have a reason to hold back, but I don’t knoill happen, so I’ll do it in moderation

Now’s not the tiet serious yet

If they run after realizing they can’t beat me, that would be terrible

I’ll wait for Raphtalia and the others to get here before I really start exerting myself

“Ren” (Naofumi)

“What?” (Ren)

“Don’t dodge, just cut at them” (Naofumi)

“Wha—Are you telling me to die!?” (Ren)

“I used a power to o do it!” (Naofumi)

The sound ofmetal echoes all over my body

I e of all those around me at once, so it’s to be expected

“A-ah”

The surrounding solders find the cut

Seeing that, Ren timidly drops his defense as he struck his sword at the reincarnators

“You’re not dodging? Are you an idiot?”

“Take this! 「Variable Messiah」!”

“What!?”

I’ll bet the Reincarnator intended to cleave Ren in half in that single swing

He was s intact, his expression warped

And Ren’s sword starts glittering brilliantly It beco it doard on the enemy

Oh, that’s quite a flashy skill

Ren definitely didn’t know that one before

Oh right Ren did say he went to another world once

It’s probably a Sword Skill he acquired at that time

Does he hold anything else you can only find in another world?

No, I don’t really need them, but I’ll bet the others do

“Uuu… I feel like I shouldn’t be alive, Naofumi” (Ren)

“But you’re fine, right?” (Naofumi)

If you e by a manner of millimeters, you can eliminate all unnecessary movements, but that sort of style doesn’t suit me

If the enenore their attacks without dodging

That means, by nature, they can now attack faster than anybody else

Well, it’s not really a strategy to be praised, though

“Even so, it’s not so I’d like to use often I’m scared for when the time comes where it seems natural” (Ren)

“If you show such leisure before the enemy, you’ll die!”

The Reincarnator tries to act cool as he attacks Ren from behind

“Leisure? I’d like to call it trust, you know” (Ren)

“Guwah!”

Holding his sword behind hihtly parries the reincarnator’s attacks before slashi+ng him

“Oh otten better” (Naofumi)

His movements are sharper

On the contrary, his basic abilities have risen a few levels

It’s like a fight between an a a co like that

It appears that his claier were no lie

“By the way… Melty, Firo I’d like it if you stopped already” (Naofumi)

For a while now, Melty and Firo have been unleashi+ng a streaic attacks and skills ayt me

‘Youcontrolled by the eneive you peace’

‘Master, Firo will get over your death Firo will try harder, so you can sleep now’ It’s like they’re saying those sorts of words of parting

I thought I hadtreated like a Zombie

“I keep telling you I’m not Dead!” (Naofumi)

“I’ll reveal your true form!” (Melty)

“Yeah, Master is…” (Firo)

“Just quit it already!” (Naofumi)

“… This is a tragedy brought about by the trust they placed in you, and the Goddess’s underhanded tactics”

Ren startswith an amazed expression

Please stop My body doesn’t hurt, but my heart can’t take it anymore

And as if he just noticed her, Ren started waving his hand at Fe her name

“Eclaire!” (Ren)

“Who are you!?” (Feht)

Ah, Ren looks really hurt

He reunited with the person he liked after two years, but this is the outcome

“It’s me! Ren Please believe me!” (Ren)

“the Ren I kneas a childish youth He definitely wasn’t so a little ht)

Should I just use some power to revert him after all?

But if I do that before their eyes, they’ll definitely recognize me as an enemy

“Trash!+ Just figure it out already!” (Naofumi)

“Nu!?” (Trash)

Since I had been standing still without showing any resistance for a while, it see out

“Melty, that Iwatani-dono doesn’t show signs of being an eneht if we trust him a bit” (Trash)

“Father… but…” (Melty)

“I understand your sentiment, but after he’s done this much for us, we have no option but to rely on him in this battle” (Trash)

It’s finally reached a stage where I can talk

“Now then, Trash I’ve a little bit of inforet here Fighting the Queen is definitely unpleasant, but will refraining fro so make your wife happy?” (Naofumi)

“Nu…”

My words turn Trash’s expression bitter

He’s been through so

I’ll definitely save Melty and Firo… Everyone

“You don’t have to give an answer yet But in this war, just how ht the Queen?” (Naofumi)

“… Iwatani-dono’s words are correct Everyone! Folloatani-dono’s lead! Melty, follow my orders, and take command” (Trash)

“Y-yes father! … It’s not like I trust you or anything, Naofumi” (Melty)

She let loose soirl

Si over my death, so she’s still half in doubt about me

“I know” (Naofumi)

For the love of God, when I get back, I’m treated like a zombie

That Goddess sure likes picking a fight
