Volume 17 Chapter 3 (1/2)

Episode 3 - The Servant's Decisive Battle Part 1

In the royal capital Lordgalia, inside a roo a certain illusion

Fugil Arcadia had no need for sleep

The body that had been strengthened with Baptism in the level that normal person couldn't endure already didn't even need to sleep

And sothe ht for a brief tiht that was burned in his mind would be replayed before his eyes

Even noatching it

「──Fugil Have you gotten used of living in the castle?」

More than a thousand years ago inside the castle of Arcadia Eil was addressed by the imperial princess Arshalia in a corridor that was built froil as from the hostile clan of traitor to beco a close aide

Of course it was an unprecedented affair The girl called Arshalia possessed the authority to accoht to be absolutely i but unpleasant things I can eat here but the comfort here is the worst It's really a bother which is your fault I also got this kind of collar attached on e is it? Just what have I done to deserve this huh」

「Is that so, surely you will get used to it, and that collar will be taken off one day Let's do our best so that you can be accepted by everyone for even a day faster!」

'……She isn't listening'

Fugil muttered in exasperation and looked aside

The disparity in the hierarchical society of Arcadia Empire that was connected to a clan called Xfer and a The oppression of the ithened their physical body with Baptis life and excellent ability, but the Elixir that was necessary for that was created from the life of human──especially from their brethren

Thus, people with low status were hunted by the nobles

They were exploited not only as labor, but even their life was sucked dry

The bloodline of the people who becaainst the royalty and nobility that were excessively tyrannical was the clan of traitor The imperial faht for long

In such situation, Fugil as a child fro of a strange relationshi+p

The iht that it ht that was the case

However, on the contrary of such situation that was surrounding the within his capacity as the princess's aide

「──Fugil Can I ask your unit to suppress the resistance? If other people go, they will slaughter all their enemies Ah, it's okay to not capture them After all they will be killed if they're captured」

When Fugil was at the tender age of 14, he had becoht that couldn't be ave hi Arshalia's intelligence, but sometimes she would speak this kind of hypocrisy He disliked it as usual

「Not only you'reme to face the clan of traitor, you also tell me to let the when it comes until this far huh」

「You don't want to do that? I thought that's what Fugil also wish for though──」

「……What do you il asked back with a dubious expression, Arshalia asserted with a ful smile

「Don't tell anyone else okay? You see, actually I──a this world where there is only hatred for each other and where someone eak position will only becoirl who told him that was burned into his eyes

「Ridiculous Do you think the like of huil spat out those words, even so his heart was stolen for an instant

The two's challenge started from there

Part 2

「This is really probleil's mind returned to reality

In the castle, Raffi heard the report that Lisha was kidnapped by a Drag-Knight of Azure Division frodom just now

At present, within the ten days period until the binding of world revision from Uroboros was released, three days had passed with this

Using the Coffin, the strengthening of the elite members of Syvalles was done one after another The Baptis possible exactly because it was those girls who had experience of receiving Elixir before and trained both in mind and body, but they also knew that a factor of the success was because of their feeling toward Lux

The successes were exactly because the girls had the strong feeling to put their life on the line in order to solve this case in the place of Lux who needed to do reckless things one after another until now

However, the current situation other than that was surpassing Raffi's esti to the report fro-Knight with strength that far surpassed Alma Atismata

It would be fine if that was all, but on the other hand there was the report frole step out of the inn

「It see fro watch there correct?」

「Yes, of course it was kept secret froave detailed explanation to Celis to strictly watch over Lux But on the other hand she alsothe with the pretense that it was for Lux's safety on the surface but──in the end, there wasn't any confirardless of that, there was a strange conviction within Raffi

That it surely wouldn't be a mistake to consider that the Azure Division ambusher who defeated Krulcifer and kidnapped Lisha wasthat e even if this Azure Division has their own hidden powerful person isn't it?」

「You are saying that? I thought that you're the one who is far h」

Raffi replied to Fugil with a wry shtened her posture before turning back toward Fugil

「I understand for the first ti into this position For a ruler, there is nothingLux Arcadia into eneed to recover Alma Atismata, but now that the function of Avalon has beco cannot be done so simply Let's leave here in a house arrest」

The letter that Krulcifer received froht of Azure Division was held up in front of Raffi's eyes and she read it

There, the request of hostage exchange from Azure Division ritten

The place would be decided several more days by Azure Division If Aluaranteed, it said

In addition they sought a decisive battle that put the Grand Forces at stake That was the gist of the letter

「The opponent also understand That I'll have to respond to this dealing……」

Within the re of world revision that was currently working on Lordgalia was dissolving People ere feeling that the change of Raffi's appearance was strange would be appearing

No, for Raffi as completely fused with Sacred Eclipse, there was a problem that she should be even more worried and dreaded about

In short, she had to win this battle without fail and collected the Grand Force, and then using Avalon and Uroboros she had to execute Endless──the perfect world revision

「In everything, if there is advantage then there will be disadvantage too, that's how it is Not a single thing has changed since the ti to steer this country isn't it」

Raffi let out a sed in lamentation

「Then, will you stop?」

The automata Arshalia suddenly asked, but Raffi shook her head

「No way I will fight until the end However, if we have to take back Lisha, then on't be able to do anything too cruel to Alnarok?」

「Just for a bit I will only disciplineto showthat she has tasted a really bothersome past until now Aa──I also have to replenish my nourishment soon Previously I failed to eat after all」

While whispering that her irises were tinged with bewitching light of seven colors

Raffi who fused with Sacred Eclipse that took in the ability of seven Ragnaroks and beca could use each ability by her oill

She alking while eon where Alma was locked

What she would use was the ability of the great denarok──Iblis's mental pollusion

Because it would also use a lot of energy to use the ability, she couldn't use theht now, but there was a need to experithened with Baptisthened, so she wouldn't be affected fatally

There was also the possibility that the dealing would be called off if Al rash

Therefore, right now her ulterior motive was to use that power to harass Alroan echoed at the castle's underground prison, and several hours later even that voice vanished

Part 3

「Fuu……」

Right now Lux was slowly soaking in the bathtub of the large public bath of the high class inn that was only occupied by Syvalles members

After Lux kidnapped Lisha, shook off the pursuer, and headed to the rendezvous point with Azure Divisionand going behind the back of Celis──or perhaps other watchers wasn't realized by anyone of the Acade a certain method for that

Perhaps even that ht now he couldn't let anyone realized

It was necessary for Lux to keep hiding his true identity while fighting the New Kingdo his nerves a lot

Therefore, after safely returning to the inn, he was completely tired that he was unable to even move satisfactorily

Even the bath of this inn that was completely reserved by Relie couldn't be coe public bath, but it was still quiet spacious

Thanks to that he could take a short rest, and it was displaying an outstanding result

(It was unfortunate that Al Lishsay against New Kingdountil the estimated day where the world revision dissolved

He orried about Alma, but now that the alteration to people's memory couldn't be done anyh to her

On the other hand, the captured Lisha was being ed by Aeril who returned to the hideout of Kilzrake family

The power of Baptis man called Coral to Lux and others Just like that she wasLisha to mistake here as so it should be going well there

The letter that he threw to Krulcifer was one of the several letters that he had written beforehand It gave an advance notice for the decisive battle that put the Grand Force on the line

The schedule for the battle would be at the ninth day Until then there were several things that had to be acco Avalon that was transported to this New Kingdoht noas only relying on Yoruka

Lux also had to rest for the ti that was done to his body the other day, an irregularity appeared due to the excessive burden

But, thanks to that he should be able to cliht

「After that, Phi-chan Is she alright?」

During the parade, she was getting high fever due to the effect of doing intense battle with the Ragnarok's seed still residing inside herself

That hy he thought she wouldn't be able to participate in the battle this time but, because of that he was taken by surprise before this

If she had gotten better then it would be fine but, if he ended up fighting Philuffy, he would have no choice but went full strength even if he had to be a bit reckless

Because he couldn't put burden on her body, there would be no choice except -Ride unable to function in the shortest and fastest way

He resolved hi his body inside the bathtub, it was then──

「That, Lux…… How is the hot water feeling?」

Celis's slightly high-pitched voice ca door

That in itself was strange if he thought carefully

But Lux as freed froot completely relaxed in this break didn't notice that out of place sign

「──Yes The hot water is really nice」

「The, then, is it okay if I also come in……?」

「Yes, feel fre──……eh?」

Lux funda with other and replied positively, but a moment later, a question floated on the back of Lux's h was unfolding before his eyes

Garari, the sliding door was slowly opening and Celis entered the bathroo a sexy red swimsuit

「……Wait, eeeeeh!?」

After a few seconds of blinking his eyes repeatedly, Lux was taken aback inside the bathtub

The small waves created inside the bathtub showed how surprised he was

「Tha, that, I come to……, wash your back I believe that your body cannot move well so, it will be especially hard in the bath──」

「Wait-!? That's, this is」

「Hahahahaha Just obediently let yourself get spoiled by the good will of your seniors Noof a boy you are, you're still a junior in the Acadeh!?」

He retorted back to the words of Sharis that ca door, but only the theatrical loud laughter of the girl carasp the current situation

Certainly he had weakened to the degree that he couldn't freely o to toilet by hi him in the bath like this -sisterly disposition

Right now it had becoirls couldn't confess to Lux onceLux and so she did this

(But, even so that, so kidnapped by Azure Division was kept quiet by Queen Raffi for the ti the report from Krulcifer The members in this inn still hadn't been told

This was a prank because they didn't know about the situation behind the scene……, no, if from the position of Sharis as Celis's friend, perhaps this was her exquisite consideration for Celis

In any case, Lux thought to stop this in panic but──,

He saw the swiure of Celis who came in front of hireater exposure than the one she wore at the training ca out from the risqué red fabric overwhel ribbon covered along the outer side of the heavy breasts The center of her stomach was in full view

Perhaps in a sense it was even lewder than siulped despite his oill The blood was rising until his ears

「Ce, Celis-senpai That swi any so, I ordered from the shop of Tillfur's acquaintance but, that, they said that right now this is the only one they have──」

(……That's absolutely a lie-!)

Lux was convinced of that, but it would be less even if he said that here

「Ple, please don'tabout Lux's body, I won't do anything else」

In the first place, would she have any coht, but there was also no way he could act alright here and strongly opposed this

Until the arranged day of the decisive battle against the New Kingdom's army, he would need to pretend that his body was th

「I'm sorry Celis-senpai……」

The voice inside his heart and his words in reality synchronized

He would be lying in respond to Celis's consideration, but it would also be unnatural to flatly refuse her assistance here

「Then, excuseher hands on both of Lux's sides from the front and held him up

But Lux's body seemed to be unexpectedly heavy for her because his whole body was too relaxed and he didn't support his body with his own strength Celis hurriedly try to support his weight and ended up in a pose of catching hiyuu

「Uh……!?」

Lux was e a swi with his face buried between her cleavages

IN addition the skins that ith hot water were intertwined closely His whole body juht!? Your body──」

His heart was dru

His body orsening in a different , but there was no way he could speak the truth

He was in such confusion while enduring the blazing fire that felt like it was burning hisdoor was opened oncethe same swimsuit that she wore previously at the beach of Ries Island, but when he saw it not at the beach but in the bathrooave him a different impression

The size of her breasts wasn't particularly big compared to Celis or Philuffy, but there was no doubt that it was a woht it will be difficult with her alone so I ca a bother?」

「Wait, even Sharis-san, what are you doing!?」

Sharis who saw Lux as in the eaze

Celis tried to do so about their posture somehow at that chance He carried Lux and sat hi place

He only barelya towel around his waist

「Don't be that angry This too is a bit of passing fancy──Iback my shame like this to help out」

「Haa……is that so」

He already lost even hisnow this is a bit overdoing it I'm sorry Lux-kun It didn't cross my mind that there will be a situation that is too joyful for boy it will cross over to be a painful situation」

「The, then…… Err, what're we going to do now?」

Celis who couldn't keep up with the talk asked in bewilderure that was unlike the usual Celis also heightened the emotion within Lux but──he took a deep breath and chased away the worldly thoughts

Because if he didn't do that, it felt like he would be carried away by the situation

「Let's see For now let's wash his body for him just as planned Ah, Lux-kun, please do the front part by yourself okay? But if you want help for it no matter what, then ask Onee-san about it later」

「Now see here……」

Lux let out a deep sigh at Sharis's teasing while Celis was scrubbing his back clean

After that, Lux was put back inside the bathtub, then Sharis see roo of Celis, it see After they were finished she was soaking herself in the bathtub while staring still at the ceiling absentlance at her while Sharis was lending hi rooht ofbut──it looks like I was a bit carried away Sorry」

Sharis quickly changed first into a casual outfit of short sleeved shi+rt and short pants

She briskly wiped dry the hair of Lux ore his underhile she sized

Lux who saw that was taken aback and could only look down

That was because in the end, the fact that Lux's body was able todiscovered

Conversely if he wasn't thinking about pretending, then even Lux didn't kno the situation just noould develop into

That was just how stiht…… More importantly, you said just now, Sharis-senpai towith s door, so Celis as in the bathtub wouldn't hear

But, Lux was slightly feeling guilty to have this kind of talk at a place where she wasn't present

「Somehow, this isn't like Sharis-san Today you're more talkative than usual or rather──」

He knew that she liked to be ard to so like this was to observe for distance

「Is that so? Right I guess so…… Surely it's like that」

Sharis as told that softly patted Lux's head with a voice that sounded soht behind Lux as sitting on a chair softly hugged Lux's head

No, she was only touching and coive up easily if you and Celis get together you see That's how it is for me at least」

「Eh……?」

Lux tilted his head hearing the girl's unexpected words

Right after that, he felt the breast's bulging pressed tightly on the back of his head and his body reflexively jumped

「Wait-, Sharis-san!? What're──」

「Tell me if you dislike it How should I say it, ere defeated by Sir Singlen's aide at the abandoned capital Guernica and als Like, all this ti to look cool wasn't I」

Sharis continued to whisper to Lux with a tone that sounded somewhat intoxicated

「I didn't have the intention to live while putting on a bold front like Celis I thought that I was living having fun as I like with a freedohter of the ar on airs I belatedly noticed that in this parade As I thought it was love at first sight since the first 」

「Sharis, san?」

「Haa…… But, I know that your heart is leaning toward so those five Oops, if Aeril is also included then it's six I guess」

After she finished drying Lux's hair, she lightly patted Lux's head and lent Lux her shoulder

「It's nothing I was only thinking, that it would be nice if there's also that kind of future Now, Lux-kun you need to rest properly Besides, if I don't return quickly, Celis will get dizzy in there」

「……Yes You're right」

There was no way that even the dull Lux wouldn't notice after being told that ood natured older senior with candid personality who had considerable feeling for Lux

He thought that it was the extension of a friendly relationshi+p of senior and junior who got along well, butall this time

It was exactly because she was an older person as skilled in getting along with others that she atching her surrounding from a bit of distance ahere she could be co until the very last irl as sht that side of hers was somewhat si pain in his chest

「By the way Lux-kun, is it okay even if I kiss you?」

「Eh!?」

Sharis lent Lux her shoulder while walking through the corridor when she turned an adult sirl's chest that was touching Lux's body, and the scent of rose perfuely feel startled

「I' After all I'll be scolded by everyone if I do that here」

She said that and turned her gaze forward There Airi and Noct aiting in front of Lux's roo coetting help within the bath

「Nii-san I want to talk Actually, I was lost whether I should tell this to Nii-san at your current state but──……」

It see had been told froirls

Right now there wasn't even any ti of it

But, he apologized in his heart toward Sharis as interacting with hih he had only just heard about the detail of Lisha's kidnapping for the first time He prepared himself to respond to the discussion after this

Part 4

At the ti of Lisha by Azure Division and the counterh class inn that Relie reserved

A single girl was standing in the darkness of the night at the residential area of the wealthy

So the luo whileon the ground

Citizens ere gri at that hellish picture that was repulsive and appalling didn't exist

Several hundred people were living in that area They were mainly the dependents──near relatives or close relatives, or perhaps the relatives or servants of the senior consuls that were called as Old Eathered at the burnt down le one behind and then they were killed and eaten by turn

Fugil was staring at that scene with an empty expression

The reason why the Sacred Eclipse that had becoer of world's destruction was there

It was a hu destructive power and ability, but for its energy source, it needed to constantly prey on huil's friend──Arshalia originally wasn't planning for

The salvation systeot poisoned by other people ere trying to steal it and ended up into so different

The one who knew that at present in this world was only Fugil

The Sacred Eclipse right now so to speak was the ruins of an incoinning and the imperial princess Arshalia as called the Goddess of Salvation

The two of theo, and hten

……Gucha gucha, picha picha ──Gulp-

Of course, even Raffi as fused into Sacred Eclipse was taken over by the cannibalis to select the people that she was devouring, but if her hunger progressed then she would transform into a monster that devoured any human she could reach

However, there was a repulsive reality that was even more inexplicable than that

People ere approaching toward her as devouring hu toward Raffi with staggering footsteps as though being enticed like livestock to be slaughtered for theirapart hu to soak into a soup She was eating wholeheartedly

The night in the jet black darkness where it was impossible to see several ml ahead

It was only just now that there was a witness to that hellish scene

(What……in, the world!? That inated froialca to search for Avalon's location He was investigating various places in New Kingdoression but, only Drake users were given the investigationby

They weren't allowed to do any combat If they were discovered they were ordered to escape It was in consideration of the eneth

After all there were the elites of Syvalles, and in addition the ht to be feared evenman witnessed the secret of Queen Raffi here was mostly a coincidence

Because there wasn't really anything that could be called a clue, he returned here to the cri here It was unknohether he was lucky or unlucky

「Are you a member of Azure Division?」

Raffi suddenly turned toward the bush where the young irl who had returned to her senses as huentle, however her mouth and dress were dirtied all over with black blood

(How, does she notice e here!)

「It's not a praiseworthy manner to peek at someone's est probleh you already understand in your heart that you're beyond help, you don't try to suicide You're clinging to the hope that someone will save you or I will overlook you Or perhaps you're thinking──this wo, but actually she doesn't know exactly where I aile hope」

Queen Raffi sloithout any sound of footstep approached the young man

With that well ordered face that had transfore of sixteen, she peered into the eyes of the young hed

「But you know, I understand your feeling Because in the past I was also like that, so even if you know that you have to die, it's scary to actually do it Death is……, scary It's really scary」

The voice eet, kind, creeping into his heart

The youngto that He was forgetting hiive you a chance Won't you cooperate withthat you knoill allow you to be useful beside me So, how about it?」

「A, AAAaAAAAAH……!」

Raffi's hand softly reached out and caressed the front hair and head of the youngto even breath

The sound, light, the sensation of touch on the skin

It was the ability of Ragnarok Iblis that polluted other people's ht now theto make him confessed couldn't be done, Raffi threatened hionly until there

He abandoned his sense of self and left it to Raffi as though a baby entrusting hi with Raffi for several minutes, his life was absorbed as nourish-Ride in this place

There was a girl watching over the extremely repulsive predation of Sacred Eclipse without even twitching her eyebrow

The girl in black clothes──Kirihithe situation cal-Ride was the sa-Ride Yato no Kaher

In addition she was also several kl further away fro everything from start to end

The distance was insufficient in order to obtain ih to report to Lux

Rather since the youngon the two's conversation to not

(That's, really bad Mynear, and if I let htly she will detect me)

Sacred Eclipse that had becoave even Yoruka the preth that was several levels higher than the Ragnaroks until now

It wouldn't be wrong to consider this act as Raffi replenishi+ng her energy and stocking power intended for the decisive battle in several rasp the location of Avalon quickly, but she was unable to grasp any clue

While Yoruka was thinking of what to do, a bush suddenly swayed from wind

That in itself wasn't suspicious at all But,

Dosu dosu dosu-!

Her curious intuition worked and Yoruka instantly leaped away In that instant, countless needles stabbed the ground where she was standing at just now and opening e? Even if you are a strengthened human who had received Baptism, you should have been completely taken by surprise just now Can you tell me for the sake of future reference?」

Unnoticed there was a Drag-Knight clad in a huge green arht

Cold expression that wasn't colored by any emotion and pilot suit that fitted the body

And then, thefrom the head showed how she was an Automata

「That's a face I've never seen before」

「Right you are, this is our first ti the first Ruin Babel, Yos Tork is 」

The Automata introduced herself politely, in respond Yoruka also replied cal over here?」

Yors Tork questioned further

Until now the Automatas were hidden by the perception modification by Uroboros's Divine Raiment──Endless and they were able to , but at present there wasn't anything like that

Therefore, Yoruka encountering Yos Tork here hinted at a certain fact that she noticed

「I see This place, it's related with the hidden location of Avalon isn't it──」

Yos Tork didn't

But, the ehtly

「……You bastard, are you a member of the aforeain? I don't know anything about that」

「It see brute force…… Should we begin, swordse that there was no lided forward

「My Divine Drag-Ride's nahly!」

The heavy class land battle type Drag-Ride skated on the ground and charged with a fierce reat ju-Ride's Step And then she activated her cae once hting huh? ──Break Purge!」

In that -Ride, Break Purge

Yoruka who atte district where there wasn't any sign of people spontaneously tilted her head inside her heart

Because unlike Howling Roar that unleashed shockwave, Break Purge that was re a part of one's own arht simply

This technique that released one's own armor as buck shot caused the user to also lose parts of their ared sword

Someone like Celis would restrict which part and how many would be released She used it to discard defense and switched into a form specialized for offense

Or perhaps it would be used for e when switching between -Rides Those kinds of use should be the standard practice but──

Gakikiki-……!

The bullets of armor parts were fired to wide area

Yoruka leaped and dodged the buckshot with her katana shaped Blade

But, her caure came into view

「It was your foolishness to escape to the air without thinking」

Yos Tork and Peluda chased after Yoruka who leaped to the air and launched an attack

A weapon of giant ha doith tre there ──KarafumiVoid Step」

The lips of Yoruka that becaht smile

She kicked on a jet black eed the ha horizontally at Peluda

「……What-!?」

Karafumi was a special ars of Yato no Kami It caused wind from the soles of the feet to make it possible to leap midair

In other words, it because possible to flexibly react even during thetype would beco on the air while slashi+ng at the sa Your skill isn't common」

「It's an honor to receive such praise But──you are really coh you already lost──」

The next instant after Yoruka responded to Yos Tork's ad from a part of Peluda's armor

The Divine Raiment of Yato no Kami that Yoruka wore──Spell Code

Its special ability to control and -Ride of other people by touch activated fro slashed Yos Tork's Peluda was put under control──or it should be But,

「Lost? What do you h pitched metallic sound appeared and armor buckshot was fired fro her katana shaped Blade, she didn't make it in time to repel all of the numerous projectiles This time she blocked the attack with her barrier

「So you removed the armor part that was touched before the control is stolen?」

Are once inally if the armor was shot out many ti the armor would become impossible

But, the appearance of the Peluda before her hadn't changed that inal size but that was all

Sur from that, Yoruka understood that Peluda's characteristic was related to it

「──Indeed This is exactly the special aron Feather Carapace And your Divine Drag-Ride is Yato no Kami isn't it? There is inforumentative puppet The minor details don't er one in」

「I agree But, in that case the advantage lies with me」

GOU-!

Yoruka kicked on the air with Karafuht

At the same time she unleashed multiple slashes with exquisite swordsmanshi+p to attack Peluda

On the other hand, Yos Tork also accurately blocked the attacks with her are to skillfully escape from Spell Code's control

Yoruka was a cut above in coh ar with the advantageback and forth between the two sides

(However, first I have to get away fro her tru Spell Code on her own ar her ht noasn't the phase to go for the kill

They were separated by a distance of several kl from the Sacred Eclipse, but if Raffi detected the battle here then she would be ie

Therefore, first she focused on fighting Yos Tork while taking distance fro You aren't as good as Blackend Kingdolen Shelbrit, even so you're really skilled」

Yos Tork was showing a co attacks

In respond Yoruka also reacted to those words

「That's a nostalgic nah I lost at that tirettable So you're only at the level that is inferior against that ainst that e though」

「What do youof euided Yos Tork toward an abandoned area that had no sign of people

It was a block that was once traas that was marched to the royal capital by the Lord It was an e redeveloped

Yoruka intentionally responded to the conversation to distract the opponent's focus, took distance froht the opponent to a territory where she could display her full strength

「I have a debt to that ot destroyed into pieces, but if I get serious then that guy wouldn't be e but──」

「……You wished to do that, with the skill of someone at your level?」

At the center of the area that was turned into ruins, there was a mountain of rubbles that was the fore observation deck

Yoruka as standing in front of that smiled with the et baited by Yoruka's provocation and simply looked up to it

「Yeah But it's understandable for you to think that After all soth By the way──」

Yos Tork cut off the flow of the talk and looked around

「Don't tellto strip offelse?」

Crack

The nextheld by the ar it

「This is……?」

Yoruka tilted her head, then right after that Yos Tork's mechanical eyes shi+ned and shefros and her ha-Ride's fra the back and then it ung down in an arc as though an axe swung to split up firewood

Yos Tork pointed out to Yoruka that Yato no Kami's Blade was about to break was in order to dull Yoruka's judg to defend or attack, if her ed then a hesitation would be born in her choices

Instantaneous judgment would decide the outcome in a battle of two sides that were evenly matched in ability That hesitation would beco

The ha and attacked couldn't be blocked by the barrier of Yato no Kami that was a special equipment type

In addition because there was a wall of rubble behind YOruka, she was also unable to im for this

Yoruka inevitably could only to left or right Yoruka ht──but,

「──Break Purge!」

At the sa of the hae was fired once ht after Yoruka slashed, but this tied

Although she ie was an attack with physical attribute, so it couldn't be blocked completely The armor that was hit by the buckshot creaked and the impact penetrated to Yoruka's slender body

「Hou, you intentionally not defended with your Blade It looks like you have a little intelligence」

「In the first place this is what you aimed for isn't it?」

Yos Tork looked proudly triu fros

Yos Tork's tactic was already working since the offense and defense just now that only looked like a si action

The moment Yoruka slashed her with the Blade, Peluda would launch a counterattack using Break Purge

The ene that treh Yos Tork could use Break Purge freely anyti of use at the moment when she received an attack, and then she took Yoruka by surprise

In a glance it could be thought as a clever scehem, but that rational and calculated tactic made even Yoruka felt impressed in her heart

「You're unexpectedly quite skilled I thought that the existence called Gear Leader was just a puppet that was placed in the Ruin」

「──You called me a puppet? This insolent fellow!」

Yos Tork raised her eyebrows hearing Yoruka casual

She drove Peluda forward onceher hah so that she wouldn't have her back toward the rubbles

But, she received a pursuing attack by Break Purge once ot hit

Her way to defend was limited so that her only weapon the katana wouldn't be destroyed

Further in a wide area, so it couldn't be fully evaded no matter what

(This is bad…… To think that the characteristic of Yato no Kami will have an effect at this kind of situation)

Because Yato no Ka-Ride of special type equipreatly inferior compared to land battle type

That aspect could be covered up in the battles until now using Yoruka's own skill, but to think that she would be in this ainst an opponent that could handle that

It was a powerful eneht before

──No, considering the factor that the opponent was an Automata whose capability was unknown to her, it could be said that this enemy was even orund to treat us as puppet You low life who can't even introduce your name!」

Yoruka seemed to have stepped on so in intensity

Yoruka dodged Peluda's Break Purge that was fired consecutively as much as possible and stopped the har
