”I'll do it, but what are you going to do?　It's an enemy that appears at the beginning of the story and appears frequently in the story, gradually evolving each time, with the feeling that it will become a final boss in the end!　By the way, there's no light magic in my magic!

You're more comfortable than you think.

While panicking, the twin swords are held at the ready, and Kaido, half in tears, shouts out the characteristics of the opponent to face the opponent without caution.

Since I said I was going to kill him, I'm going to do my best to turn my magic power around and prepare to fight.

”It's just a matter of a couple of hours of physics.

Thanks to the first look, I'm not sure that your opponent's abilities are as hopelessly strong as they appear to be.

There may be hidden abilities, but we have a realistic chance of winning.

”The time for half-sobbing and freaking out is over. He's coming!

And the unbearable opponent can't seem to wait in front of the food like a well-behaved dog.

It's like a mindless beast, loyal to its appetite and ready to pounce on us.

My aim.

You're right, I am.

I, who has the highest amount of magic power, will be the priority target.

I had expected that, and my hunch was not off.

It looks like a spider, like an ant, with crusty legs sprouting from its body and leaping at me like a grasshopper.

It's mouth is open, probably because of its predatory nature.

Hmph!

Stepping in and cutting was a contradictory sensation of softness and hardness.

No matter how fast you move, it's easy to see through a simple movement and cut it off.

The damage is done!　Kaido!

”Yes, sir!

The chopped off leg moves around for a while, but after a few seconds it runs out of steam and doesn't move.

The leg that was cut off will grow back, but it will not be inexhaustible.

I'm going to take a position between me and Kaido, and I'm going to focus on me while attacking.

Can you use the ability of the one you absorbed?

”It's not as bad as it looks!　Scrape away, wary of unseen abilities!　If you stop walking, you'll get eaten!

A scythe passes by your face and a series of sharp claws come at you, but you use it as a stepping stone to jump up in the air and spin around in a forward motion, splitting your head vertically.

But it's not long before something slippery comes pouring out and the wound is repaired.

Oh, that's what I'm talking about.

I think the standard for this kind of thing is to hit them with such a big magic that they won't be absorbed.　Why are we whittling away with swords like this?

It's no use, I'm locked in. With this thing in tow, you won't even be able to leave the dungeon. You're lucky you didn't despair at the entrance.

The gates of the dungeon are set so that the gates won't work if there is a monster within the range set for each gate.

That means we'll never get out of the dungeon unless this thing is defeated or shaken off.

You complain about it, but you still have to cut it down, not wound it, to do any damage.

I hate this!　I'll definitely go to Keira-tan's after this job!　Forget about all the nasty things!　Hiya!　We'll be drinking tonight!

”......

You can't cut through the clouds, but you can feel that you're cutting and shaving a mountain of sand, and Kaido's half-crying has turned into full-blown tears, just like when he was facing a job with no end in sight.

It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

Where to cut to be effective, where to cut to impede your opponent's movement, where to cut off to slow his regeneration.

To get the job done quickly, it is important to know how efficiently you can work.

At the same time, the key to demonstrating the two-dimensional style of cutting off an opponent with a single blow is how quickly and concisely you can perform the series of actions from footsteps to swing down with maximum power.

Subconsciously, I refine the act of groping and cutting.

Once I realize that my damage is ineffective, I throw away my defense and just go on the offensive with my limbs.

It's just a matter of cutting it down.

I'm starting to get tired of the combination of resilience and hardness.

I can cut it off.

But as it is, it's not very efficient.

If only it were softer, and that is, if this thing's body were as soft as konjak.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.

Moreover, it was an arm that resembled a thick and hard mantis sickle, not to mention thinner than ever before.

That was...

The result was too good to dismiss as coincidence.

One could speculate that the opponent's generative strength was low, or that he had been attacked so many times that he had become fragile.

However, both of those guesses were deemed unlikely.

To see the monster scream in a way it has never screamed before, the scythe was not meant to be cut.

That is, it was neither understrength nor degraded.

Then necessarily there has to be an element that I can cut off.

Find that element.

Kaido!　Hide!　No damage, just stop the movement!

”Ugh, whoosh!

Trial and error.

What does it take to remember that feeling?

Convinced that pulling it together would end this fight, you let Kaido take a shallow, reluctant delay tactic.

You think you're cutting the same way as before, but something's different.

Is it the amount of force?

Time to step in?

A touch of magic?

Review each element of my attack while my opponent's attack is tilted toward Kaido and his hate on me is diminished.

Quickly but accurately.

I repeat the corrections after each swing to prevent the belief that it's okay.

But it's a far cry from what it felt like before.

The power of the slash remains the same.

The results are the same as when you first started fighting.

You may not learn it overnight, but if you were able to do it just now, there's no reason you can't do it now.

”As expected, it's hard!　Seniors!　I mean, my sword is starting to melt!

”......!

And finally, Kaido's equipment is reaching its limit.

It will be difficult to beat that fellow with Kaido's weapons, which are no longer used as blows.

But

I see, you're not very good at it.

With that one word, I knew what I was missing.

There are human strengths and weaknesses, and we develop a sense of dislike for things we are not good at.

That job is a pain in the ass, that job is not my cup of tea.

That job is a chore, that job is not for me.

So does he.

Before I cut first, I wondered how strong the other guy was.

There was definitely a part of me that was concerned about whether it could cut.

Yeah, it can't cut what it can't cut.

It's the height of folly to wonder if you can or can't do the job.

You have two choices: do and raise your reputation, or say you can't and lower your reputation.
