295 # 280 Tact Hypothesis and Dark Summoners Aim.txt (2/2)

It's not weird, is it?　Every player wants one.

Some nodded at Arleigh's words. Naturally, there are those who don't nod. Yoichi and the others and Mirai won't raise it. It's because they're useless.

'The Dark Summoner is fighting with his bare hands. The Aroma duel confirmed it, but it probably involves the ability to nullify the summoner's abilities.

The dark summoner held up his hands when the Heavenly Strike was released, thinking he was targeted. That would definitely be the condition for the skill to be activated.

'Probably, you have to touch the skill or summoner with your bare hands to nullify it. On the other hand, it's conceivable that if you don't have bare hands, you won't be able to activate a suicide attack or something else on the summoned beast. This is just a guess, but if this is true, then fighting with a weapon would be the worst match for them.

'That's my guess, but it's been pointed out to me on the forums. It seems to me that all dark summoners are definitely fighting with their bare hands.

He gave me some information about the forum information on the fierce sky. I'm still guessing, but if they all don't use weapons, it would still be suspicious.

''Even if that's the case, it wouldn't be strange if they chose it as a reward. If you sell them or something, they'll make great money, right?''

Who are you selling it to?　To a normal player?　I have an idea who has more money than the average player.

Several people, including Ruin-san, noticed.

''Don't tell me you're planning to sell the magic sword to the Reich Empire!

'I think it's more like the Reich Empire asked the Dark Summoner to do a request for a dark summoner, to be precise. I think it's more like they wanted you to fight against me and get a magic sword and Ix.

Arley says.

'Wait a minute. They're after the magic sword and Lily-chan, right?'

'I'm not sure I can beat Ix. The rules of the duel prohibit changing weapons, but not those already equipped. Iks is an enemy that you don't know what kind of equipment he's going to come with. But there are beings that have a chance of beating that Ix.

'So that's Lily-chan... after taking Lily-chan away, Tact-kun will fight again to free Lily-chan. So you're going to fight Lily-chan and Iksu-chan, who were out of control there, and you're going to put a stop to it?

I nod at Mel's reasoning. Then Full Moon speaks.

'That's assuming we win, okay?

'Yes. So I'm sure they'll find a way to win.

Is there a way to do that?

Yoichi asks. That's what it is, isn't it? The worst kind of evil hand.

'There is. The worst way to win a sporting match... is to cheat the referees.

What?

All of us are exclaiming at this. It's only natural.

'This explains why I've bothered to specify the Colosseum in the Reich Empire instead of PKs, because PKs carry the risk of getting a counterattack from me, but if the referees are unfair, then victory is assured. If I had to choose between the two, it would be the latter.

In hindsight, I guess that Durginus's appearance and comments were staged to give me a clue. Predicting the story from this trend, it was more likely that Durginus was the one who saved the people who were captured after defeating Garbella Glow.

More importantly, it's now more likely that Durginus is behind the Dark Fallen jobs.

If there was a question, in this case, Ix could win even if he was the opponent. This makes it seem like the dark summoner simply wants Lily.

Then Luke says.

''Huh?　If that's true, you really can't win!　What are you going to do?!

Luke is right, if we don't, we don't stand a chance. So what we have to do is obvious.

Isn't it only fair to counter a scheme with a scheme?

What are you going to do?

Mr. Lewin is really afraid to ask me. I say matter-of-factly.

'I'm going to make a deal with the Reichswehr.

”What?

We were all surprised by my statement. Perhaps this is the only way for me to win. We have the best trump card in the world in Ix. We have the advantage in this deal. The only thing left to do is to see what we can offer.

The Dark Summoner's only condition for releasing the summoner is that we defeat him in a duel or penalty shootout. If I defeat the dark summoner, the summons will be released. But that's not the end of it for me.

They are the ones who fought me. And then they went after Lily and the others. There's no excuse for that. So if they don't know, then I'm going to tell them again. I'm a man who will do whatever it takes to protect what's important to him.

I told everyone my plan, and although they would be disappointed, I couldn't leave the dark-skinned job unattended, so I asked each of them to help me out.
