Chapter 71 (2/2)

In exchange for this effect being considerably strong, it should consume a fair bit of magic power. I guess that's why Suzaku only poured magic power into the tip of the sword. It's a Magic Sword that an ordinary Swordsman can't use.

……Un, I've decided. I'll have this sword. I'm going to kill him and it'll end up with n.o.body using it anyway. It's fine, isn't it. I guess I'll use it right away.

I pour my magic power in, in a way that it envelops the sword. Ooh!? It consumed a fair bit of magic power. Indeed, if it requires this amount of magic power then an ordinary person would give up from just a portion of it.

It's to the extent that even I, who's gathering and increasing my magic power in the necklace, was shocked. It's so much so that it'll require several hundred people if it's an ordinary human.

However, to that extent, the ability is quite something. I slashed at a nearby Imperial soldier to test it out, and I sliced him apart without feeling any resistance. It matters not whether there's a sword or armour. It's great.

In the meantime, Suzuka was being occupied by the weapons that I released. It's because no matter how many times he repels them, they come right back. It's becoming to the extent that Suzaku's figure is pretty much not visible because of the weapons that I released. But, I guess it being as it is means he still hasn't died yet.

Uoo? I feel a pulling sensation in my hand from the sword as I'm watching such a spectacle. The Suzaku fellow is calling it huh. Well, I'm not going to hand it over though.

I start running at the same time as the pulling sensation. Suzaku's figure was before my eyes when I got rid of the weapons. Although he's covered in wounds, he didn't suffer any fatal wound, so I guess he avoided them skillfully. Moreover, perhaps he'd also predicted that I'd come, he'd readied his weapon.

Over there, I put in my strength so as to oppose the pulling sensation, and forcibly swing the sword down. It's while it's resisting so there's no speed, but because Suzaku is unable to receive it, he dodges.

However, he's unfortunately unable to avoid it. The sword I hold warps, ‘Kakun', unnaturally. Aiming at Suzaku's face.

He tries to block the unexpected movement with his sword at once, but maybe it's because he himself knows about this sword's power better than anybody else, his expression turns bitter.

It's just that, perhaps blocking with his sword bore fruit, he had the time to avoid the approaching sword. Although I say that it can slice anything, it's not as though there's no friction or whatnot.

I give a roundhouse kick with my left leg as it is. Although Suzaku uses his sliced sword as a s.h.i.+eld and receives it, he tumbles onto the ground. Suzaku who then keeps a distance from me.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you made use of my Magic Thread huh”

He actually talks about his own hidden technique, what an idiot. Well, it's true that I made use of it. Magic Thread, exactly as the name suggests, it's a thread that's made of magic.

It's easy to make, but it's difficult to make it so that it doesn't snap; there aren't many who use it. Suzaku was making use of that and returning the swords, that he hurled, back into his hands.

I have him let me make use of that. I pull the thread that extends from him, reel him in, and point my sword at him.

“……It can't be helped. I shall judge that you're a worthy opponent and get serious. An Imperial Tool that only I can wield! Soar, Vermillion Bird!!”

Flame gushed out throughout Suzaku's body the moment Suzaku said that. Don't tell me, is he killing himself?, was what I thought, but he was saying that he'll get serious. There's no way he'll do that. A flame that ascends high up in the sky. A pair of flame wings that spread widely from within. What appeared from within the flame was Suzaku who clad his body in crimson flame.
