40 Episode 40: Its Name Is "Empty” (2/2)

... and familiar with your hands often. Grip it again and you'll see. The length of this pattern can be shaken with one hand or with both hands. The only thing that is disproportionate is the length of your body.

”I broke down Mana Blade and she showed me how it works. Besides, I used Yufi-like's experience from Arcane Shell to work out a glass of spiritual stone that could only be stuffed into my body. Thanks to this, my body has thickened, but I won't break it because of the fact that it is half-lived. And that fullness acts as a conductor of magic. It's easier than ever to put magic on your body, and it's easier to form a body.”

”... but isn't this a sword or something?

”The sword.” No, it's the Devil's Sword chick. That's all there is to make use of Mana Blade's functionality. It's not a serious sword. I wouldn't be dressed as a sword. I calculated the length of the body and the length of the pattern, but I can adjust it somewhat. Let me know what you think later. ”

”…” Can I expand ”?

”Oh, let me see. I tried it too... while I'm at it, it's quite a horse.”

Nodding at Tomas' words, I take a distance from the two of them and hold the sword with both hands. Turn your consciousness to magic into your sword as you exhale slowly.

- Deep. That's what I felt first. First of all, the magical streets to the full body are good. So deep. I can't see the limit value as far as wondering how much magic I can put into it. How much magic can you instill?

Inject more magic than usual when using Mana Blade. I know Tomas says horse then. This uses more magic than Mana Blade, and I can eat it.

When the magic instilled exceeds a certain sense, the magic body is formed by stretching out of the pattern. A single-edged fillet of light that finally matches the length of the fillet with the length of the pattern.

”If used as is, the body can be used with an image that stretches the body's body. Change the way you inject magic if you want it to be double-edged. Toggle the amount of Spirit Stone injected into the core of your hand to aid in deformation.”

”Oh, that's why I have three.”

”Master Anis has a lot of magic. I was wondering if I could modify that... dissatisfied?

”I wonder if we could lower the cost and limit values a bit more as a mass produced product. But as for my dish... it's the best demon sword I've ever had.”

I can't break it first. Instead of my full strength, I feel the strength of stickiness and the depth of nostalgia that I can assure you that infusing dragon magic won't break.

”I guess it feels like it's for protection when it doesn't pass through magic. It is easy to pull out because it is short. Easy to build, better to protect than to attack.”

”That's right. There's magic in the offensive hand, isn't there? Then I can protect you as much as a tool. That sword will never break. As long as you don't give up and keep gripping, it will help you. Instead of shielding even if the magic runs out, and I thought it would be convenient to play the attack.... this is my masterpiece I'm sending you”

”… Is there magic?” I heard terrible killing complaints, true. ”

My eyeballs got hot by accident. This is certainly a sword for me. Guardian's sword, which presupposes the use of the Devil's Sword. It was Mana Blade's weakness. It eliminated her endurance to physics, so she would use magic for that matter. Then a horse.

A sword that is not produced if it is a normal idea. It's my only sword. It's for me. This sword cannot be broken. So I can keep using “magic”. Unless this magic runs out, unless this will runs out. “Demon Sword” is also a “magic wand” for me that does not presuppose demonic props.

This is my “Devil's Sword” that pairs with Uphilia's Arcanshell.

”... Tomas. What's the name of this sword?

”Huh.... I have no upbringing. If you like it, Lord Anis will give you a name.”

No, that's troubling me. Name, name...

”Celestial, how about that?

”Ufi?”

”I think it was a name that meant” empty ”. … because my arcane shell is a“ rainbow ””

”“ Sky ”for” rainbow ”?... a sister sword would be perfect.”

”I think it's the perfect sword name for anyone who wants to fly the sky for the first time in this world”

... Empty, huh? Yeah, that's where I always started.

I looked up at the sky that day and I became ”I”. It's all about me since that day. This life, prayers, wishes. It's mine alone, created by what I have done to this world.

”... I don't know.”

Tears flowed naturally. I've been crying a lot lately. But I didn't want to stop this tear. Because I thought this tear was more of an admiration than anything for Tomas' work.

”Tomas Gana. It's so good to see you.”

I put my magic in it and put the sword I was given the name Celestial in my sheath before I offered Tomas my hand. Like asking for a handshake.

Thomas shook my hand with a little confusion. Clumsy, clumsy man's hand. What this hand has produced is loving and proud of me.

”I'll never forget the good fortune I had in meeting you. It doesn't matter if you're royal or civilian. You are the best blacksmith I recognize. If it's true, I'd like to give you the honor...”

”... no, good”

Tomas smiles calmly at me like he's never seen before.

”He showed me tears worth more than any gem.... I'm satisfied with that.”

”... it was a little late to dictate.”

”Who dictates”

Yeah. We're good with that. So I want you to let me say it again and again in my heart, Tomas.

You're my unchanged friend. He wants to say thank you again and again.

”- Tomas! Come on!

Anger popped in as if to crack and break such air. It was an uncle of a familiar adventurer who came inside.

”... what's up?

”Do you have the sword I asked you to take care of?!? It's a case of...?!? Wow, isn't it Master Anis?!? Why are you here?!?”

”I'm on business, too. What, a bad case?”

”The dove has arrived! The Devil Wolf is out! It's a defense fight because they're coming this way!

”What is a Demon Wolf... Fenrir!? That's unusual!? Or it's coming this way!?”

Fenrill is a demon of the werewolf species and, at the same time, a tentative name until the ”named demon of the werewolf species” is officially named. However, there are few things that can be officially named the demon of this hand.

For some reason, its invasion speed is top notch among demons. By the time you name it, it's devastating, such a demon. That's why the ”named” demon wolves before they were named are often called Fenrill and unified names.

Conversely, the damage must be stopped before it becomes a ”name”. That such a chemical class is headed for Wang Du!?

”I don't know if the area of occurrence was close or coincidental! Even pigeons say they're a step ahead of him! Stand out, wind! Or dirt! If it was a subspecies, I couldn't even hit my eyes!

”Now that we're fighting in defense, we're going to intercept you at the nose tip of the king's capital!?”

”That's the only way......! I don't know if the evacuation's gonna make it now, damn it!

I listened to my adventurer uncle. I turn my gaze to Ufi. Yufi took my gaze and sighed like she'd given up. Hehe, I'm sorry. After all, it doesn't seem like a ”big time” to me!

”Do you know where it's coming from? Are you coming in a straight line?

”It's almost a straight line! There is no village that was the Lord on the path... hey, Dear Anis. Are you kidding me?!”

”Haha, I'm sorry I said I'm retired? Still, I'm a” princess ”and a” wizard ”! Tell the Adventurer Guild! I'll be ready for the defense, but Anis is going to strike out!

”... what the hell, Conch Show! You're just gonna take it to the delicious place again! I'm sure your magic props will make it quick to pick up enemies!

”Then beat me to the guild as an urgent request! Continue to me, say!! Cheers for my luxury if you hunt safely!

”I'm on, dammit! The Wolf has no luck either! I'll let the invasion path out! Hurry up and get that demon prop! If we're late, we'll take it all! Tomas! Sword it out!

”Aye.”

My uncle rushes out with the sword that Tomas brings in his hand. After I see it through, I turn back to Uffi too.

”Yufi! We're coming too!

”Yes.”

We have to go to the Imperial Castle first! It's been a long time since Airdra made it!

The road that leads to the Kingdom of Palletia. Happy or unhappy. There was nothing like a ”sole” going through the wind cleaving distractions.

“Sole” was hungry. I couldn't help but feel my stomach and my food for my existence was dwindling. The allowance or gradual prey filled the belly, but the hunger did not know where to stay.

And I found it. It was fine meat. The meat is scattered and cannot be said to be much meat itself. But they flock on top of being easy to hunt. Some of them emit fine smells.

The sense of smell that captures its prey is far from “sole,” but prey is prey. Until you find it and eat it. And ”Sole” walked away. As if to cleave the wind, as if to kick the ground to pieces.

The smell is coming up. Hunger becomes stronger. Yeah, fast and full, I ran through my instincts wanting to fill this being. It caught a strange smell and a strange noise in its ears.

――

Stop your legs. It was like, that was some kind of hissing. I'm on my way as cleaving the sky as I am. That too, yes.

- From the ”sky”. It makes you look like you're stuck in front of yourself. Two prey cross the odd things that slowed down as they slipped through the ground and wrapped around the wind.

A prey that gives you a premium smell and a prey that seems likely to be edible but has a thin flavour. But “Sole” never jumped to prey bravely. Because my instincts were ringing the alarm.

- They say they're hunters, just like themselves.

”Wow, you're pretty big”

”It's good to be able to hit the path safely. So, Master Anis?

”I know. Come on, Fenrill without a name.”

One of the prey utters a voice that is incomprehensible. But I can understand it even if it doesn't make sense.

”Let's define your end of the line.”

- The competition for survival begins.
