Chapter 196 (2/2)

Then Giruas enchanted his sith reinforceain

--His enchant level has gone up coht before

It hasn't been yet a week since then

Though even after his enchant has leveled up, his sword can't cut the barrier

Of course, a low level barrier wouldn't have been enough to confine a demon, even if it's a sub-de"

"Cause Iit"

I release the barrier

Nor after suffering that etic

Giruas is sturdy after all

"Eat this!"

The sub-demon immediately slashed at Giruas when the barrier went down

Though it's not like I did it on purpose, the surviving sub-deood at swords

"Come at me!"

Giruas blocked the demon's sword, flipped it back and counterattacked

The sub-demon parried his attack with its sword

Current prospects--they're almost even

The sub-deth and techniques

However, Giruas has thislike a veteran swordsh it's probably in reflex

Due to that, none is holding the advantage, it's a draw that could tip to one side at anyti

Giruas's movements suddenly became faster in the middle of combat

--『Body Reinforcement』

It's the ic for a swords a staleotten used to your speed, delaying their response, could prove fatal

It ritten in the very first chapter of the text book I gave him--so he did read it huh

"Wha"

The sub-demon couldn't cope with Giruas's sudden acceleration

Giruas's swords is going straight at the demon's shoulder

And when the sas about to hit the de

I know this ic--I didn't expect him to use it

"--Recoil Steel Slash!+"

Giruas continues to slash at the de

『Recoil Steel Slash』 is a derivative ic of 『Steel Slash』 that raises your sword's sharpness

It's ives back not insignificant dah your entire body, even those who are used to fighting won't be able to es

Not only that, your sword et duller due to the recoil

That's why, I hardly ever used this ic

It's only ave hi, he went and found this ht be the best inally not that precise with a sword

assuh

"GAAAAAAA!"

<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsukaco an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel >

"GuhThat really stings"

The slashed deony, Giruas too looked at his ar

Giruas swings his sword again without any hesitation, enchanted with Recoil Steel Slash

And another Recoil Steel Slash when he's slashi+ng back

That's the third

It should be about ti, yet Giruas isn't letting up

Continuing to swing his sword even now

Backlash fro that can be overco consecutive usages like this--don't tell me, he's had 『Recoil Steel Slash』 practices already

That sure is reckless

After three consecutive 『Recoil Steel Slash』 even the sub-deh it's not limited to demons--the most critical point in a couard down even a bit risks you getting killed by their do-or-die desperation attacks

Giruas is too valuable to be lost here

He will surely become a terrific war potential if he survives this and continues his training

I planned to butt in before he got himself killed--but let's trust his battle sense here

"You bastard--I'll kill you!"

The sub-de all out to attack Giruas

『Mana Strike』

One of special ic that grants treth and speed to your sword at the risk of one's life

It's practically the upgraded version of 『Recoil Steel Slash』

A sword buffed by suchat Giruas

The accelerated sword infused with a vast a

Right dead at the center, unavoidable track

At least, with Giruas's speed, it should be ie that

However, Giruas evaded it

It's as if, he had foreseen the attack before the demon used 『Mana Strike』

And then he counterattacked like flowing

"--Recoil Steel Slash"

The deth was pierced by Giruas's finishi+ng sword

Flawless moves without any waste

--Giruas fell down just as the deer, but it doesn't seeet up

His body probably can't endure it after using 『Recoil Steel Slash』 four ti in just a few days"

Even two Giruas froainst this current Giruas

He's gotten that er in just a few days

"Well yeahYet look atone deotta train more"

Giruas moved his head to look at the dead dey to even stand up

"Was that book proven useful?"

"YeahI asked an acquaintance, a guild staff to read it fer' ot it read for hiuy is having someone read to him

That aside

"HeyWhat do you think we should do here?"

Right noe're in the center of the town

Of course, people would gather around after that flashy battle

Furthermore

"Oy, landlord-sa with landlord-sama! What's with those demon horns!"

This toas ruled by demons

In other words, the populace think the deher ups of this town

With all of them lost, this toill fall into chaos

Thanks to the deht be able to explain that they were demons to them at least

However, the probleher ups surviving, but there's a chance that they have been corrupted by the demons after all this time

This town has no one who could act as its leader

Even now, this town has a lot of ruffians like the bandits we fought

The toould be in chaos without a leader

No, you can say it's already starting

And there's no one who could stop it in this town

"Isn't this bad?"

"YeahThis is badWe need soether, but this town doesn't have so helps from other landlords would take tiuildAh, the guild was overran by deuess not then"

As a matter of fact, personally there's no problem for us even if this town falls into chaos now that the de that could obstruct us frooal here anymore

The reason e came here was because the demons ere in this town could pose a probleic tool to look for demons

And we'll be done with it if we just leave Folkia and activate the ic tool

HoweverSince we're under the backing of Eis Kingdo Folkia here may turn into proble thatGiruas opened his et it, but in short, this Folkia's ruler or so this to that we beat 'eht"

After hearing that Giruas tried to stand up

And then he frowned

"HeyCan't ya ic?"

"Backlash froicBut I know atiood"

Hearing that, I cast a ic spreads what originally should take three days to six days and dilutes the recoil

On someone who used 『Recoil Steel Slash』 four tiood for battle

"You've got ainst you in combat, but this sorta situation calls for me--a Rank S adventurer"

Giruas who received 『Recoil Dilution』 said that as he stood up

And then he holds his guild card high up, and declares to the surrounding people

"I'm Giruas, Rank S adventurer of Ristia GuildIn accordance to Raginia Fedeal Law of State of Eency Command, I shall now take coency Command?"

"YeahWhen there's no one that can take the co a situation related to monsters and stuff, we have a system where Rank S adventurer assume the positionSince demons are treated as monsters, now's exactly that situation"

Alma and Ruli looked at each other orried looks after hearing that

It's probably 『Can someone who can't even read take the lord's place?』

I'm worried about that too

"Giruas you say?"

"GiruasThat Giruas?"

"Judging frouild cardHe's the real one"

The people around are buzzing after hearing Giruas's name

Giruas throws a question to those people

"Oy, any guild folks here? I gotta ask souild staff her ups of this town's guildI want personnels"

"I-I understand!"

The guild staff uild

Looks like this 『Euild staff obey

--About 10with afrouild

"This guy will give you orders in uy until the replacement lord comesImma knock the crap of those who disobey"

Hearing that, Al the buck?"

"YeaI dunno no politicsBest to pick souy"

Giruas replied to Alma's question

"By the way, how did you know someone was trustworthy or not?"

"By instinct"

Giruas only lends his name as a Rank S, and leaves the politics to those who can do it

I see, that's logical

Noe can leave Folkia worry-free

Oh right, before that

"Giruas, we'd like to enter the First Type Restricted Area nearby, can you give us the permit? The area's name should be 『Folkia Territory Restricted Area』"

"You got a business at restricted area?"

"YeahWe need to use so on a bit"

Giruas took a paper nearby

Then he wrote son

This is what's written there

――――――――――――――――

Perency, the four people below have been given entry permit to 『Folkia Territory Restricted Area』

Permit Holders: Mathias, Iris, Ruli, Alency Commander Giruas

――――――――――――――――

Giruas he, he wrote souess he wouldn't be a rank S adventurer if he couldn't write

"Thanks"

"No need to thank uild afterward

Now thenpreparation complete with this

Noe just need to enter the restricted area and activate the ic tool

The real troublesome part comes after the machine has been activated
