191 Episode 191 "The strategy of" Tenryus agent "was safety first and aftercare was also included.".txt (1/2)

From Nagi's point of view.

Tattai!　It's temporary!

We start running in the opposite direction from the soldiers, holding the mermaid Lumia in our arms.

Cecil's 'Ancient Language Magic Dense Fog (Fog)' is still in effect. However, only Cecil and I can see through the fog at will, with the authority of the surgeon and master.

That's why I can see the Marquis Hilmut and his soldiers cowering in the surf.

We'll have time to plan a ...... operation.

You've come ashore. We need to know what's out there.

In particular, the dark-haired swordsman among the soldiers - that could be dangerous if left unattended. He looks more heroic than ever with his fancy single-edged sword. Considering the fact that the same kind of guy was about to resist Leticia's ”Forced Civility (Manner Geass)”, he seems to have the same resistance.

If possible, I'd like to aim for an endurance battle, but I have a feeling that he'll usually break through the fog.

I hope there's a safe way to fight him: .......

'You have .......'

I have an idea.

I beckoned Rita over.

”Hmm?　What is it, master?

I put my mouth close to Rita's beast ears as she came to my side.

...... the skills you awakened ...... in the beastman village the other day.

────!

Boku.

Rita's face turned bright red.

'Oh, that time ...... when me and Nagi ...... spiritedly rinku .........' ...well, you know, that ......

Rita, who felt that steam was about to come out of her head, held her cheeks, turned her head to the side, looked up, and then...

Hahahahahahahahaha!

She bit my palm sweetly, as if she couldn't hold back anymore. Hahahaha.

Her tail is twitching. Your ears are flapping.

...... Yeah. You remember that moment, don't you? ......

”......, I get it.

Rita let go of my palm and wiped it with the handkerchief she was holding by the way and nodded.

'With the skills that my master and I have created through our ...... souls, we can take out the bad guys, right?

Please. I have to be as safe as possible.

You don't have to tell me. I'm connected to Nagi. I'm already a part of the ...... master, you know.

Rita gulped and clenched her fists.

A part of me or ...... something, I'm kind of embarrassed and happy ...... hmm?

Rita is a part of me. ...... I am connected to Rita through my soul.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find out what's going on, but I'm sure I'll be able to find out.

”Ability Contact Analysis (Skill Analyzer)

Be able to 'analyze' the skills and magic you have received.

You can learn the effects and concepts of the subject.

However, you must make contact with your body or something that is an extension of your body (・・・・・) (・・・・・・).

...... I see.

So what do you guys do?

I looked at the two 'elite trainees' and said.

I don't feel any hostility from the swordsman girl or the girl in the robe anymore.

Just that they're both distancing themselves from us. They're either wary or ...... confused.

We are ...... 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon', we ...... prefer to see for ourselves what we can ...... see for ourselves.

They hesitated, and then they talked briefly.

I answered them and made a small promise.

Then we quickly began our operation.

”The Viewpoint of the Marquis of Hilmut

The moment the Marquis of Hilmut and the others rushed out with swords in their hands, the 'Heavenly Dragon's Representative' disappeared into the fog.

There was no response for a while ...... what he was thinking about.

''It's too much trouble to let ...... them get away.

'The Marquis. But in this fog: ......

One of the soldiers murmured in an anxious voice.

”Don't worry. I have experienced many battles in the fog!

With his double-edged greatsword in his hand, Marquis Hilmut shouted.

I've experienced fighting in the hard-to-move sand. I've worn light leather armor for this purpose. Moreover, I have commanding skills.

A skill that is the pride of the Marquis, the man who commanded his troops as a martial arts instructor.

Yes, ”The Holy Swordsman” - no, Ix. Did I tell you that?

The Marquis Hilmut responded to the boy, who was only vaguely visible in the fog.

''Command LV6.''

The subordinates registered as 'under command' of the owner are given an extra modifier.

Attack +10% +2% x 'number of people under command'

Resist ability, number of players, plus modifications.

General Marker Display (The General Marker appears above the head of the Marquis Hilmut. Only a soldier under his command can see the general's markers. They are not affected by the surrounding environment, as they are displayed by magic.

My soldiers! You see the 'General Marker'!

「「「「「 We can see it! 」」」」

A shout went up around the Marquis Hilmut.

There were five soldiers under his command. But that's enough.

”And with my 'sword skills' such as the fog, as it is here - the 'Sky Splitting Slasher'!

The 'Holy Sword Master' swung his single-edged sword.

There was a sound of the air ripping and the fog around him, a few meters in extent, disappeared.

The shockwave created by the sword blew it away.

''If we cut through it like this and proceed, the fog is nothing to worry about.''

That's what Ix is all about. I look forward to when you have the holy sword in your hands.

I'm sure you'll be more useful to us then. For now, though, I've only been able to find the ones I can't.

The eyes of 'Holy Swordsman' Iksu caught the shadows of two people.

In the space where the fog had disappeared, there was a swordsman and a girl who was a wizard.

''The two 'elite trainees'?''

”Marquis Hilmut, my lord!　Ix-sama of ”Instructor Swordsman”. I have a question for you!''

Is it true that this is a place that drives people crazy!

The swordsman and the wizard girl shouted.

'The Heavenly Dragon said. 'This land is a cursed place, and the trainees have not grown strong, but have been broken. Is that true!　Was it not the people who escaped that were crazy, but us!

'It's a lie. You're telling us to 'die'. We're trainees!

Yes, we will not kill you. Soldiers, seize them.

The Marquis de Hilmut spat.

I shall not kill you for appearing before me like this. I will make a contract with you and use it to find the place.

”The Marquis! What have we done?

What's this I hear about trainees questioning me?

Marquis Hilmut's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the two 'elite trainees'.

''I'm going to beat that guts back. Your training is not over yet.''

In response to the marquis' voice, five soldiers moved.

They split off to the left and right and went to surround the two 'elite trainees'.

''No... this is not good, d*mn it!　I believed in ......!

'Why?　We weren't the best of the trainees!　That's why His Excellency the Marquis has taken notice of you!

”...... you don't seem to know a thing about this training you don't know.

Marquis Hilmut gave a long sigh.

''Everyone will be stronger and more confident in themselves. You'll be able to look forward to your work. ...... Isn't that so!

'Yes. That's why we've all been working so hard: ......

At the question of the swordsman girl and the girl in the hood, Marquis Hilmut shook his head (headpiece).

''No, it's not. It's about learning to be cooperative and 'perceive' your boss' opinions.

I'm guessing .......

It's about understanding what we want to do and doing it without being told what to do.

'Is that what the Marquess is thinking?　Ahead of time?　How can I do that!

Hang in there.

'What if we move ahead and get it wrong?'

If you made a mistake, it's your fault.

I can't do that at .............” ”You can't do that at .......

Why should I give you people any direct orders? Don't push your luck.

The Marquis of Hilmut pointed his great sword at the two girls.

''Can you call yourself a respectable member of society if you can't anticipate my intentions and bring the holy sword to me even if I don't tell you? Not at all.

It's all right. Just sign the contract. You'll be my tool. I'll give you the contract medallion. Trainees. Group AA's number one and two.

...... differently.” ”We're not called that!

The robe girl shook her head.

'My name is Tinnis.'

My name is Cologne.

We are no longer in training at this time!

The girl rolled away from the soldiers' swords - right behind her.

And then she screamed...

'We were wrong. Please. Please help us!　'Tianlong's Delegate'!

Godd*mn it!

What the...? Yikes. Gah!

A blonde beastie jumped out from right behind the girl and kicked the two soldiers away!

The two girls grab the hand of the beastman girl. The beastman pulls away from them and runs into the mist.

''Don't let them get away, 'Holy Sword Master'!

''The Winding Slasher!　double-barrel!

Buh. Buh-buh.

The holy swordsman's sword dispels the fog. The shockwave split the sky.

However, it can't reach the beast girl. Her figure disappears as if she were dissolved in the fog.

We're going to enter the fog!　Soldiers, follow me!

””Yes!”

Speaking of which... earlier, there was only one beastman among the figures we saw glimpsed in the fog.

The Marquis of Hilmut chuckled as he ran off with the soldiers.

'Then they've dug a grave! How dare they use the most mobile of beastmen to rescue the useless on this hard-to-move beach!　Now their fighting strength has been drastically reduced!

””Let's try to track down the enemy all at once!”

The Marquis Hilmut's army remains in formation and runs on the beach.

They are all skilled warriors, including the ”Holy Sword Master”. They have confidence in their leg strength. Moreover, the enemy must have mermaids with them. They won't leave their foes behind.

''Profound knowledge!　'Great Sky Splitting Slashers [Giga-Sonic Slashers]!'

The Holy Swordsman swings his sword. The mist is dispersed in a fan shape, creating a clear space.

Footprints are left on the sandy beach. The beast's are faint - the ones of the escaped trainees are clearly visible.

'Watch your surroundings!　There may be a hiding place!

We understand.

The moment the marquis shouted, the enemy appeared from behind the fog.

The soldiers held their swords. The rearmost soldier waved his sword at the figure that had appeared.

His eyes widened when he saw the enemy that had appeared.

''-The same beastman──?

”Ei.

Boom!

The blonde beastman's kick flies through the soldier's sword.

The soldier who was hit by a decent blow to his torso fell off and fell to the ground.

The marquis turned around and saw - the same ”blonde beastman” as before. The face is unknown. It's because he wears a dragon-like mask. It's just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on it. And its fighting power - and its speed.

''Foolishness!　His footprints must have been going in the opposite direction!

My lord, the Marquis!　The beastmen from the sides.....

The soldier's body was blown off. The one who punched him away - a blonde beastman wearing a mask, after all.

The marquis shook his head. It's as if he is confused by the fog. At the same time, beastmen with the same appearance attacked from two directions. Moreover, their fighting ability is extremely high. It was as if they could see us on the other side, as if they could see us completely.

''Get into a dense formation!　You do not know where the enemy will come from. Be prepared!

”──Marquis. Prolonged combat is the effect of the 'curse' ......

I know!

The Marquis shouts back.

But we can't go on like this. We don't know in which direction the enemy is.

There are two soldiers left from this side. One of them is wounded. The advantage in numbers has already disappeared.

The Marquis switches his objective. Recapturing the mermaids and capturing the ”elite trainees” - he gives up on that. The priority is to retreat.

You can't go back to the boat. The moment we get on the boat, we'll have an opening.

We have no choice but to continue to break through the sandy beach and get away from the influence of the curse. We'll continue to drive overland and meet up with the ship at the recreational area. Before that...

''Holy Sword Master Ix. The next time a beastman appears, make sure you cut him down. Can you do that?

It is possible... I will use my extraordinary technique. My sword can also cut through magic.

Good. Good. I'll capture as many enemies as I can and find out what they are. As long as we can capture the enemy, we'll let the White Guild do the rest.

”As you wish.

The marquis, the 'holy swordsman', and the remaining soldiers faintly catch their breath.

The enemy could come from anywhere. You never know where the enemy will come from, and it could be a magical attack.

But we have the holy swordsman on our side. He overwhelms them with his immense skill and runs through them at once.

The marquis grasps the large sword and the ”holy swordsman” grasps the single-edged sword.

And then the enemy appeared from the side.

''Teeee.''

'Excellent work!　”| Ultimate Eight-Strong Sky Slashers [Ultimate Sonic Eight Slasher]!

The single-edged sword of the ”Holy Swordsman” touches the arm of the blonde beastman. The enemy's fist clashes with the sword and makes a hard sound. The beastman unleashes another kick. But the 'Holy Sword Master''s immense technique is a super fast continuous technique. By that time, the blade has already caught the beastman's arm. The tip of the blade is about to touch the white skin - the moment.

''Yararare-chatter.''

Splash!

The beast's body turned to water and disappeared.

............ e.

''Holy Sword Master'' Ix's eyes are dotted.

Surely, he should have slashed the beast girl. And yet, the only thing in front of me is the splashed water.

It splashes on his face, blocking his vision.

When he turned to the side to get rid of the water, he saw two shadows.

One of them was holding a small someone - and

The other one hid behind the fog and pointed a fingertip at us.

''Ability contact analysis (skill analyzer) complete. It seems that the person you 'spirit-linked' with is considered an extension of your body after all.

The larger shadow said.

''But this guy's ''Ultimate Eight-Straight Slashing Wave, Ultimate Sonic Eight Slasher'' - with the premise of eight consecutive blows - has a blind spot on its side.

'Yes, sir!　Master!

A small shadow shouted.

''Holy sword user'' Ix heard it as he struck out the second blow in a grand manner.

A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The Exquisite Technique had seven more sword blows left. Moreover, the last two blows were a great technique that sent a vacuum shockwave flying. The beast girl has disappeared. The small shadow is his side. He is standing in the blind spot of the technique. No matter how you look at it, she is chanting a spell.

─ ─ Bad, bad, bad!

Exquisite techniques cannot stop suddenly.

The enemy had completely read our movements. They even calculated that 'Holy Sword Master' Ix was exceptionally strong. He invited a big move and interrupted the magic in that hardening time.

If the 'Heavenly Dragon's Delegate' was an opponent who could do such a thing - he couldn't win.

If he's a brave man, then they are professionals against brave men──.

Chanting is complete. Ancient language magic - 'Waterball'!

Then a huge sphere of water flew towards them.

''Nah, nah, what is this chunk of water - bigger than a house?

I don't know...　I don't know anything about this kind of magic...!

Let's get away. Let's get out of here, my lord marquis!

Neither the screaming marquis nor the soldiers can move. The dependable 'Holy Sword User' is a hard time after an immense technique. On top of that, you don't know where the enemies will come from. The prized commanding skill of the marquis is meaningless when he is left alone under his command. And in front of me is a giant magic that can make me squirm.
