Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

I check the letters that appear in front of me again and again.

- Again, it's not a mistake to look at it no matter how many times you're sure.

There is the letter "Apostle of Clancy".

The blonde man in front of me is the first "messenger of Clancy" I've seen outside of myself since I came to this world (Florence).

No - it's not, don't get me wrong.

Sure, this is the first time I've seen it in a state (status), but there are other apostles for Clancy.

The first Clancy apostle I met - the “old man” I met in that narrow space between the world and the world - was certainly talking about "heading to Florence" at that time.

And the old man moved me into this world with his transfer to Florence.

For in this world (Florence), that old man could also exist. Never will I be the only one of Clancy's messengers present in this world (Florence).

Then - besides me, there exist apostles of Clancy in this world.

That's good.

The question is, why is that Clancy's messenger supposed to fight me?

The man in front of me - Cyrus - said he needed help with Grace's "Yurban's Treasure Bank".

That would simply mean that you want to make her Yurban treasure trove your own.

Given his desperate pursuit of Grace and little mercy for his means, defeating Grace is likely the shortcut to achieving that end.

Because the reason why I fight is clear.

I have to fight more than he's after Grace.

Anyway, I know that even the Arabellan apostles are divided into factions and pulling their legs together. Given that, it is rather unnatural to assume that such things are not in any way in the apostolate of Clancy.

However, even if the existence of Grace's treasure trove was the cause of our struggle, I didn't think that would solve some questions.

First of all, why would Cyrus try to get a treasure trove until he fights us?

Indeed, the Demon's weapon is a powerful weapon. I have no reason to ask for it or know why. But what does Cyrus do with this demon's weapon? Are you going after the devil like I do? Or does it have another purpose? I don't know where it is.

And next, why is Cyrus trying to protect the transfer gate?

The Gate of Transfer is supposed to be where the Devil appears. I wonder why Cyrus himself is trying to protect that?

Does this mean that Cyrus is a messenger of Clancy, yet in close proximity to the messenger of Arabella? Or do you want to keep the metastasis gates like this, with a different intention?

That's the last reason my attack will be invalidated. Given the state (status) changes, Cyrus being Clancy's messenger seems to be the cause of my attack being nullified.

If so, can I deactivate his attack? So far, I have not been attacked by Cyrus. Of course, I honestly want to avoid verification with myself, but it looks like you should keep it in mind.

I combined those three questions in my head and started looking for possible answers.

However, there is insufficient information to ensure the answer.

"He's..."

I raised my voice so the Celestias could hear me.

The man in front of you tells him that he is the messenger of Clancy... It may have a negative effect on this battle for a moment.

But I thought I had to give the information I had learned “from me."

――――

――

I meant, "Just like me." But those words, which are hindered by constraints, are not voiced at all,

Suddenly, I was suspicious of being silent, and Roberto's gaze focused on me.

The result was that it made the following words unnecessarily noticeable:

- It's Clancy's messenger.

――

It was much smaller and everyone was surprised by the words. Among other things, Celestia looks frozen in her expression.

I can't help it, I may not have any special feelings for Clancy other than her, but Celestia is the only one who isn't.

She is a follower of Clancy God.

I am turning my sword to the “apostle” of God I believe in... The fact must have stretched heavily on her.

Whether Celestia hears this fact and doesn't have to lose her will is almost close to a bet.

But I believed her.

Celestia - I'm sure it will give you control of your mind.

Meanwhile, my body, which pronounced the word Clancy's Apostle, was running with subtle starches.

As usual, I have a headache and a feeling of bumps running through my head.

I managed to withstand it, holding my head in with my right hand.

But Cyrus looked at me in agony and chased me in decisive words.

"- Well, while you're bound by constraints, you can put that word out."

I almost raised my voice in pain.

Cyrus supposedly foresaw Grace's condition (status). Because my condition (status) is likely to be clear as well. Being constrained is information that can easily be read from a state (status) if you have the same ability (or abilities) as me.

The word "constraint” was thrown at my body, and a large, invisible starch was born. The pain in my head is about to crack, and I start running around endlessly.

I had an intolerable nausea caused by the pain, and I felt it develop into glare (dizziness). As soon as I'm gone, I'm going to lose my ankle, hold my mouth and fall on the spot.

This constraint is not on a level where you just have to be patient.

Unlike before - it's tight.

"- Kay, are you okay?

Grace runs up to my side and supports me. I wanted to say I was okay with Grace, but my voice plundered and I couldn't speak well.

When I look at it, I see Cyrus slashing straight at me, looking for Grace to lean against me.

I'm not in a position to avoid an immediate attack.

Then I saw Roberto's back chilling in my sight. Apparently, he blocked (whispered) Cyrus' attack.

I can see that Cyrus then emitted a beam of light. But the light blade (light edge) was also taken by Celestia with a shield. Unlike a magic wall on a boulder, Celestia's Saint Maiden's Shield (Shield of Line) has not been freaked out by receiving a light blade (light edge).

At any rate, I was delighted that Celestia had not lost her temper and continued to participate in the struggle. I'm sure she has complicated thoughts. But Celestia, as I expected, has given priority to her people first.

Over time, I felt the effects of the constraints gradually subside. Her eyesight heals, her nausea heals, and her headache heals.

It's not like my body is completely clean back, but I think I can get in shape by myself.

When I stepped firmly on the ground without Grace's support, I could see the discomfort in my body passing away so that the waves would leave rapidly from it.

Looking at me, Grace still looks worried, but it looks fine for now.

"It's okay."

Tell him to reassure Grace.

While I was at it, I thought it was a dialogue full of deception.

I was out of balance due to constraints, partly because of my own statements, but there's a lot of relying on Cyrus' statements (hey). So it's possible that I will activate the constraint again after this, depending on how Cyrus comes out. If you think about it, it's not okay at all.

If you have to fight someone who knows my constraints like this one, the constraints could have been a fatal weakness, not a life-saving blessing for me.

But - as long as the constraint pushes me myself, that's fine. Because it's about me personally.

The problem is that I'm affected by the constraints that put Grace and the others fighting with me in a crisis. That's what makes it the deadliest thing for me.

When I was thinking about it, I didn't always change my harsh expression to the back of the statement that it was okay.

Grace, who had supported my body until earlier, sees it and leans toward me again.

And he put his face so close that he could mouth it, and smashed his ears so that it could only be heard by me.

"Kay." "Weapons."

When I hear that statement, I turn back to her.

"He's - he's not a demon.

And my attacks have been disabled since earlier. "

In response, Grace stared me in the eye and ran out.

I see determination in a beautiful slice.

"No, that's why...

That's why this weapon is worth it. "

――――

I stared silently at Grace.

And I try to make sure what lies behind my beautiful eyes that I'm about to be sucked into.

The time it took for me to make a subsequent decision was actually just a moment.

But that moment made me reconfirm my trust relationship with Grace.

"- Hit the wedge (wedge).

Grace, weapons, please. "

"Yes."

I push my shining hand against Grace's back with a magical light and strike Grace with the wedge (crumb) of the door (gate).

When it was over, she backed off vigilantly toward the entrance to the labyrinth (dungeon).

Celestia notices the motion and calls out to me without looking back.

"Kay, I'll take care of the rest.

Whatever you do, I'll protect you and show you!

When Sylvia heard the voice, she hid the lowered grace from the rock wall (rock wall).

Everyone understands that Cyrus' aim is Grace. We built a magic fort and lined up to protect Grace.

Immediately afterwards Grace's clear voice begins to hear a slight leak around her. The chanting of the spell was beginning.

After being attacked by Roberto and Celestia, Cyrus is once back down to distance himself from the Celestias.

But when he saw Grace go away backwards, he began to raise the sword in his hand high, as if following it.

"- Up there, be careful!

Shortly after I spoke to Celestia, a cloud of light appeared around the ceiling of the labyrinth (dungeon).

――

The next moment, countless stars of light began to descend from it. It's the magic of a star rain, with a range and velocity far beyond me.

In an attempt to avoid the rain of light coming from overhead, Celestia put her shield over her head.

I realize that the falling light is not exactly the number that can be avoided, and I activate the light junction (alter) to prevent it.

The problem is Roberto and Sylvia.

Sylvia managed to use the rock wall (Rockwall) to prevent light from raining.

But the power of the downpouring light is strong, and her unfolding rock walls (rockwalls) are one after another crushed and her defenses are not in time. One shot, another to the body, and Sylvia distorted her expression painfully.

Roberto is even tougher. Without a clear defense, he has no choice but to avoid magic. But what's coming down is an inevitable number of lights in the first place. I supported it with a demon wall (magic wall) from the rear, but as I saw it, Roberto's sheet metal armor (segmentata) became spotted (still ragged) with silver gold (ginger) and black burnt areas.

"Ugh - this worked."

Roberto raises his voice unexpectedly. Roberto's HP, which seemed spare in terms of dialogue (lines), but ate quite a few, had decreased to half.

Cyrus uses a great deal of magic to see if it has a slight cooling period (cool-time) or doesn't move off the spot.

Of course, it's a good opportunity for an attack, but it will void the attack where I poke that gap. Me and Celestia prioritized Roberto and Sylvia's recovery without hesitation.

I hang Sylvia's healing (Elder Heel) and acceleration (Haste), during which Celestia recovers Roberto.

At the end of the cooling period (cool-time) Cyrus is set to head for Grace again.

A moment later, as expected, Cyrus pushed straight through us.

Roberto, who sees it, tries to block the progression with his recovered body.

"Doraaah!!

Roberto, who shouted loudly and waved his spear, succeeded in stopping Cyrus from advancing (charging) brilliantly.

But the shield blow (shield bash) that struck him shortly afterwards will gently blow Roberto away.

"There!!

It seems Sylvia, who was aiming for the timing, is releasing a blast of flames (napalm) toward Cyrus, whose legs have stopped.

Cyrus tried to prevent it with a shield, but Sylvia's blast (Napalm), which was highly fired, burned heavily, involving Cyrus' shield in its entirety.

"Chi -"

Cyrus waves his shield and tries to scratch out that flame. Sylvia unleashed a rock bullet (rock ball) and hung the chase there, but the attack was lightly avoided. Cyrus' most alarming attack is the magic of light attributes, but his handling of swords, shields, and physical appearance are also on a considerable level.

Cyrus, who extinguished the flame of the blast (Napalm) and used the Great Heal (Elder Heel), was about to move on and out again as it was. Now Celestia's jamming it.

She and Cyrus bumped into each other straight from the front.

"Kay, go!

Celestia's clear voice flies toward me as the sword, shield, shield, and sword are pressed together.

A believer exchanges his sword with the apostle. There must be complicated thoughts there.

But I believed her and gave her a strong reply.

"Ceres, I asked for it."

Celestia nods without looking back.

Grace is inside a rock wall (rockwall) fort built by Sylvia. I can't transfer to her side in a combat transfer (Battlegate) more than I can see.

When I opened the door (gate) that I usually use to travel long distances, I walked in there. I was wedging her in anticipation of this.

Immediately my body appears on Grace's side continuing to chant.

Seen, there was a glimpse of Cyrus from the gap between the rock wall (Rockwall) and the rock wall (Rockwall).

The chant is - almost over.

"Hiccup - yes, I wouldn't let that happen."

I heard Cyrus distorted with a laugh.

When he first appeared, a brilliant face with clear white skin of blonde hair created (possibly) an unpleasant atmosphere.

But how is he now?

When I hear my voice, I have to feel some kind of madness.

From here I can't even see the look on my fine face, but at least I definitely had a broken look, far from my first impression.

Cyrus pulled his shield from the impending impasse and immediately unleashed a shield blow (shield bash). But Celestia is also releasing a shield blow (shield bash) at the right time. Two shields clashed vigorously around the area, sounding loud.

Shortly afterwards, Cyrus pulled his shield sharply again, now turning and kicking it away towards Celestia's torso.

"Gu!!

Celestia, who didn't think her body surgery was coming, gets stuck by surprise and gets that kick in her stomach properly. As it was, she fell backwards.

Cyrus, who no longer has anything to block in front of him, goes slashed toward Sylvia, who stands straight in front of the fortress on the rock wall (Rockwall).

Roberto, who saw it, broke in between them and tried to block the progression with a spear.

"Out of the way!!

You didn't like that, Cyrus raised his voice like never before.

The light blade (light edge) released with the words hits Roberto directly, and Roberto faints (hello) without even raising his voice as it is.

"Eat this!!

From nearby, Sylvia's powerful voice was heard.

She is releasing multiple dirt guns (drake guns) towards Cyrus at the same time as her voice. But one of them, by her spatial magic, was filled (was) in a pocky, empty hole. The tip of that dirt gun (drake gun) jumps across the space and out of the “hole” that appeared on Cyrus' shoulder.

――

Shortly after, the sharp tip of the dirt gun (Drake Gun) was hurting Cyrus' left shoulder. His robe is torn and blood is gushing out of his shoulders.

Looking at his own shoulder wound, Cyrus seemed to be gradually amplifying his anger over time.

"To this extent - with this degree of attack -!"

Cyrus is gradually changing his expression and tone.

He might be losing his spare time.

Being able to see the state (status) naturally means being able to enjoy the advantage (advantage) of obtaining information.

However, on the other hand, they will accept the disadvantage of "preconceived notions” at the same time.

Cyrus should have seen our condition (status) and understood beforehand that other than me, we are a group that is at least ten levels lower than ourselves. In addition, my attacks at the highest level are deactivated.

That's why Cyrus insulted us (ah, etc.) and began to demean us along the way.

Of course, as his attitude suggests, it's a fact that we've barely been able to hit an effective attack so far.

But when the subject you thought you could easily beat turns out to be an unexpected opponent - the situation would be nothing but uncomfortable for him.

Cyrus does not bleed, but stuffs Sylvia and waves her sword down.

Silvia, who watched his movements carefully, was using rock walls (rockwalls) to prevent them.

But the rock wall (Rockwall) just prevented Cyrus from striking, and it gets crushed to pieces.

Shortly after, Sylvia's flame bullet (flame ball) burst from close range, and Cyrus got an unexpected counter and was engulfed in flames.

But Cyrus doesn't care. While his body was burning, he unleashed a strong kick on Sylvia's body.

"Khaaaaaa!!

Kicked away, Sylvia is bounced off the spot to a large extent.

Celestia, Roberto, is fighting desperately for Sylvia.

As I burned it in my eyes, I felt that the spell Grace was casting was about to come to an end.

I clean up the Ruler's Devil's Sword (Rollinzer) in my Assets (Inventory) and stare at Grace, closing her eyes, scratching her chest.

――

Grace's face is exhilarating, but her chanting never stops.

And - the moment the chanting voice stopped, me and Grace were wrapped in a strong light.

"Ahhh!!"

I can hear Grace gasping with her chest grabbed. You did that unconsciously, she was holding my arm cuddly with her eyes closed.

It's hard to tell if that hand is trying to get rid of my hand or rather push it more.

But I was not reluctant to do so.

Push its soft skin so that it opens its hands even further and squeezes the protrusion claiming to be present in the center of its palm.

Even so, her skin hasn't cut into my hands. I pushed it away from my hand, but I implanted my fingertips in her soft skin.

"- Kay -!"

The moment Grace mutters my name, her chest is wrapped in even more light.

Then, the feeling in my hand gradually changed and turned into another substance.

Pulling that out a little bit, it feels like both hands are apparently holding the same thing.

But this feeling has never been touched before.

The left hand holds an unprecedented thick pattern (eh). The pattern depicts a loose curve, boasting that it is not a sword or a wand, but clearly another weapon.

The right hand felt like it was holding almost nothing, but it grabbed something like a thin line.

I slowly pull what I have grabbed out of the light. The size is apparently as big as my back length. Pretty big size.

"This is-"

Even if I didn't pull it all out, I could understand what it was.

The pattern I held in my left hand was beautifully decorated and also looks like a giant cage hand (gauntlet).

And from its decorated pattern, both wings protruded with a lofty arc, as if wings were growing up and down.

From the end of both wings to the end, a single shining thread passes through. And my right hand was grabbing it.

- What I had in my hand was a giant bow.

The light that wraps them up rapidly subsides after the object reveals all of its appearance.

"That's..."

Grace said to me with a careless, lustrous look on her face.

"The Demon Bow. - It's Ishmel."

"Ishmel -"

When I heard that name, I immediately tried to “stare” at the demon's bow in my hand.

Cyrus' Star Rain (Starrain) poured toward me and Grace before checking their status.

"Grace!

The activation time of the light junction (alter) is still ongoing. I held her so Grace wouldn't get out of that range.

The noise of rock collapse flashly overlaps, and the rain of light crushes the rock walls (rockwalls) that were surrounding us all at once.

This led to the exposure of the two figures previously hidden in the rock wall (Rockwall) in front of Cyrus.

But that, on the contrary, means that I and Grace can see how Cyrus and I are doing.

- Good, the Celestias are all getting up loose.

When the star rain subsided, I lined up with Grace and saw Cyrus from within the junction.

His unleashed star rain (Starrain) completely crushed Sylvia's rock wall (Rockwall) fort, but it hasn't reached me and Grace at all.

If you look at him, he looks like he chewed up a bitter bug.

It's the same flow as just now that Cyrus is gradually losing his spare look.

I looked at Cyrus' distorted expression and whined at Grace so he wouldn't know.

"Grace - I need to ask you something"

I've never dealt with a bow in my original world. Of course, I've done things like imitations in play a long time ago...

From there, it's subtle if it hits you where you pull the bow.

But what bothered me was that it was “before”.

"The bow is fine. Surprisingly splendid bow.

But... there's no arrow. "

――――

Grace, who had an unconscious look on her face, opened her eyes for a moment and blew out looking at my troubled face.

With that trick, I understand that her consciousness is clear this time.

"- The demon bow (Ishmel) does not have a determined arrow.

It's a bow that arrows magic. Pull the bow, gather your magic and let it go. "

"- Okay. I'll try."

Even though I blushed slightly at my own question, I set up a demon bow (Ishmel) like that on the spot.

That's all I see, it just doesn't have an arrow on the bow, it looks like an empty shot.

"Chi -"

Cyrus saw how I behaved.

There's also a cooling period (cool-time) after he releases the star rain (Starrain), or he barely moves.

I gathered my first glance of magic into a demon bow, as if I had turned an arrow on my bow. Then, the collected magic creates the shape of an arrow.

Whether or not this attack will be fulfilled and deactivated by Cyrus - I had great interest and curiosity.

“That's why it's worth it." - In me, Grace's remarks come back to life.

With this blow - this blow is sure to tell us a lot about it.

"Fuck you!!

I open my eyes and release an arrow staring at Cyrus.

The magic arrows unleashed did not fly straight, but proceeded to plunder Cyrus, drawing a complex orbit in an instant, as if it were a blow from an electric shock (bolt).

The arrow that plunders him crosses the altar as it is, and hits the stone statue of Clancy directly behind the altar.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise broke, and Clancy's stone statue leaned to the right.

"Oh, my goodness."

Cyrus sees a statue of Clancy that collapses and is causing her lips to tremble.

And I found a bleed dripping down my cheek.

It was bleeding from the cheeks the arrows plundered.

If you look at this, the damage done to Cyrus is only marginal.

But - the demon bow Ishmel's blow was not nullified, and it did hurt Clancy's messenger.
