Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

The moment a thin black hemispherical area was created around Aunous, Aunous slightly creased between his brows.

"... Long time no see. To taste the power of the Lord."

"I guess so. Then let's go."

In a moment, once again, the territory took action first. Kick the ground and the sand rises zazzled. Before the sand fell to the earth, he approached the nostalgia of Aunous.

"It can't be that easy, Territorial. Yikes!

The density of "Red Qi" that surrounds Aunous' body also thickens, distancing him from the spot to the rear of the electroluminescent fire. Watch that move. Territorials follow Aunous, too.

Pulling the sword closer and flashing, Aunous moves even faster to avoid deviating from his torso and stays in position as he backs up.

The two are alert to each other while maintaining a distance to enter the other's nostrils with one breath.

"... That's right, I thought you might be a little dull, but your lord is no different"

"That's Aunous, this line. No, that power refined, unlike back then. With the power of" Tai red wrap, "I know that very well."

"Sure, unlike the Lord who had stopped time, I kept working out."

"Hmm. Sounds like you should get serious early.... fourfold... no, ten times."

"Mmmm!?

The moment the low voice of the territory sounded quietly, the moment the thin black area suddenly increased its blackness, the body of Aunous sinks a little to the ground Zung.

And the territory bounced up heavily, pulling its sword out of its sheath, and waved its sword down over Aunous' head.

Aunous opens his eyes cuttingly, his right leg muscles swell and the recesses on the ground widen.

It was thought that the sword of the territory would slash and tear Awnous in a few seconds of comma, but his sword had lost its target and lost its response. Aunous then turns behind the territory and sticks out his fist.

But Aunous' fist just cut off the sky again, too. Territorials also dodged as agile as Ornoz did again.

"It's still a great move"

That's what I said was a territory with my eyes closed. Aunous stares at the cool face of the territory as he bites his teeth.

"As always, the magic of the Lord is indulging."

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?

"Oh, it's been a long time - Gravity Magic."

There is now ten times as much gravity in the entire body of Aunous and he is restricted by his usual movements.

Aunous, who was familiar with the magic of the territory, grasps, of course, that the black realm that now covers his surroundings is what expresses his magic.

A unique wizard capable of manipulating the gravity of all those in it - that is the man called Territorial. Besides, it lightens its own gravity and moves, so if it fails to prepend the sword muscle, it will be chopped up in no time. In fact, this one is weighted, and the other is magic that makes you think it's cowardly and extreme because it reduces.

"It's been a really long time since I've fought you in this gravitational junction. I'm uncomfortable following Avoros, but I just appreciate being able to work with you again"

"... it's a shame we're killing each other, not working together."

"Huh, right. But I'm glad you did."

"Territory?"

"I'm sure you would let me go"

".................. oh"

"You know my magic tactics, too................ please"

"........................... I'll take care of it"

Aunous opened his eyes like he was ready to eat and bind his teeth with a gizzard,

"... Beast Awareness!

Similar to the time of ELA Aura, Aunous' appearance changes. My eyes start to congest red, and the hair that is covering my body turns blue and black.

The body also grows and embodies the appearance of a beast as ferocity has embodied from appearance. But it's not just the look. The amount of "Red Qi" in your body and the quality of your muscles can be much improved to gain a lot of combat power.

"... I'm scared of your face, Aunous"

"Don't say that. Conscious."

"Ha, then let's go. My body is ready on its own."

"... come"

The two clashed again.

There is someone peeking at the battle between Aunous and Territorial from [Shytern]. The person is a quiltz featuring black sunglasses.

Kiltz exhales a heavy sigh out of his lungs as he stares at them both.

(I don't know why those two have to kill each other...)

Kiltz had never met the two of them, but he had seen them. That was before Kiltz formed Shizuku of Peace, once the guild party of the human world.

When I was still an adventurer, humans attacked the demonic world, and Kiltz entered the demonic world to embrace the injured, not to join the people who had been benevolent again.

Two figures stood in front of the adventurers when they were building a group of adventurers and attacking the demonic settlements one after the other.

Things were way too funny then. Only two men stand guard against a hunk of more than a hundred bent adventurers. Kiltz thought it was a reckless and ignorant act no matter what he thought.

But a few seconds later, Kiltz's eyes were fascinated by the astonishing sight. Avoid imminent killer attacks from all around you and suppress one adventurer and one more.

Above all, the breathtaking movement between the two was brilliant. Without having to speak up, without making eye contact, the two defeat their enemies as if they knew what each other was thinking.

Neither are they intact. But after a few dozen minutes of blood dripping down and scattering, the last ones standing still were Awnous and Territorial.

Kiltz lost his word and saw him celebrating a good fight by hurting but fisting each other. Even more surprising are the adventurers who are falling to the ground. No one was losing their lives. I was in love with their behavior, which may be so serious that I couldn't move for a while, but I omitted the option of killing them despite the war.

Beautiful...... I thought it was breathtaking.

As far as position is concerned, it is the enemy. But I even remembered my admiration for the two men who protected the settlement while not killing anyone and hurting themselves.

And one day, again, I wanted to see the battle between two beautiful and noble people, as I had just done. And I also swore that I would fight like that. The thought will move Kiltz, who originally hated strife, to form Shizuku of Peace.

Kiltz didn't get to see the two fight since then, but he still thanked the two of them.

That's why I was hurting my chest in a battle that only left me with the sadness that's going on in front of me right now.

"What are you doing here"

Kiltz feels the thought of suddenly getting soothingly cold in the back of his chest.

"No way, are you even trying to get in the way of the Battle of Territorials?

…………

"No, you can't do that. You can't even turn a blade. You're just a puppet."

"I can't let you... I don't know if you can call me because I'm gloomy... hyomi"

Quiltz hits a hyomi hatefully with eagle sharp eyes.

"That's the only way you're gonna get away with it."

Kiltz walks out when he turns his heel back uncomfortably. But the hyomi continues toward Kiltz's back.

"You throw away the crap idea. It's pointless, and it's about that sweet Oenous. I don't even think I can defeat the territory. Here Aunous dies."

Then when he stopped pitifully on his feet, Kiltz laughed with his nose.

"You don't know."

……

"Bonding is stronger than anything. Those two show me their strength. Just give me the eye drops and see, you mud."

To put it that way, Kiltz followed the scene without stopping.

Sounds like swords and swords are making an impending noise around them. A movement of offensive unity that collides several times and in doing so each other's best.

And then again, Aunous and Territorial instantly crush the distance between them and scatter the spark. Whether Ownous has a sword or not. Still, Aunous makes it possible to take his sword.

Now Aunous' arms were of the same colour as the steel thrown into the flames, embodied by the magma. I do an unbelievable act of receiving a territorial sword with that arm.

Normally, it would definitely be disconnected. But now, Aunous' arms dwell on that of steel and its unblemished hardness.

"Are you sure it was" Tai Red Wrap/Jing "?

After the collision, Territorial says while keeping their distance from each other.

"It's called" The Collection of Tai Red Wraps and Jing "to be exact."

There are two types of "Tai Red Wrap". It is the "move" of the attack and the "quiet" of the defense. The former is a means of unleashing a tremendous amount of magic to maximize heat and attack, while the latter is a means of focusing "Red Qi" to dramatically increase defense.

This time, it is a move to condense "Red Qi" into a part of the "Jing" called the "Collection" to maximize defense. Its altitude is no less than steel, and if wrapped around its arms, it becomes a sword wave.

"You did. But I still think we can confront each other again. That power is irregular."

"Well said. The Lord's magic is that if I didn't know how to attack him, I wouldn't even be able to move by now."

"Up to three hundred times gravity. There's no way you can stand a human being."

"But there's also a hole in the magic that's too strong. I was surprised the first time I heard that. I can't believe I can deactivate it if I keep my eyes closed."

Everything in the gravitational space that he expanded with his "gravitational magic" is certainly manipulated with gravity as he wishes, but there was also a limitation that when it comes to organisms, if the other person had his eyes closed, it would not be effective. So now Aunous was under territorial attack just by closing his eyes and moving the air.

"I'm already surprised you can still meet with me with your eyes closed."

"It's a gift of training. Your eyes are closed, too."

Aunous knew that the reason he was closing his eyes meant something different than the magic deactivation we talked about earlier. In the first place, within the gravitational kingdom, territory never has the same magical effects as its opponents. Because it is free to be light and heavy.

Territorials capable of moving free from gravity and opponents who continue to manipulate and restrict gravity to the extreme. It is too irrational a magical force to think about normally. With this power the territory has saved many of its compatriots in the past and has bowed its enemies to the earth.

"Oenous is a bad person, too. Why I can't open my eyes. That's because it doesn't make sense to open it against you, does it? Taking that into account, you must have bought me a role to play."

"... you're right"

"Gravity doesn't make sense to you."

Then the black areas that covered the perimeter gradually dwindled and disappeared.

"Are we closing now?

"Oh, it's a waste of magic, even if you're spreading it for nothing. And you know I was born with less magic."

His magic power is certainly so little that he was not born into a 'demon tribe'. If you ask me, it's close to the Beast Man. So powerful magic can't do too much either. Because the magic will soon become exhausted and unusable. I guess that's another magical risk that's too strong.

No matter how many boundaries you expand, there are limits, and if you can get out of the boundaries, it doesn't make sense. The territory's gravitational junction is convenient for opponents jumping into nostalgia, but it doesn't work for those who make ranged attacks or know how to attack, like Ornoz.

"Well, Aunous."

A black wing spreads from the back of the Bassa Territorial, as he slowly ascends into the sky. Potspots and little black dots begin to appear around him that rise further.

When that black dot is just about the size of a tennis ball, it quietly walks away from him and adheres to rocks on the ground, castle wreckage, etc. Then, as the territory gently moved its wings to create a breeze around it, an object with a black dot attached floated fuzzily.

And as they are, they are lifted up in the wind to the sky.

"Well, you still have the power."

As I recall, Aunous squeezes himself tighter.

"Avoid it well, Aunous."

Remnants of rocks and castles rising high in the sky. Flying higher than those, the moment the territory winged heavily, the rocks and the like began to fall to the ground where Aunous was in tremendous momentum.

".................. Gravity Meteo"

As the Territorial grunts, that's exactly synonymous with meteorites coming down. To the threat from the sky, which strikes one after the other, Aunous moves flesh like a spring agile to avoid it.

The meteorite group is falling to crush Aunous from forest to forest while producing craters around.

"There are many! Then!"

Aunous shows [Shyturn] in his sight. We decided that if we shielded the castle, we shouldn't be able to attack. So I tried to get close, but suddenly I got that body bounced off by something I couldn't see.

"Damn!? Speaking of which, there's a guardian bond around the castle."

I forgot that. Aunous lightly tongues. If you look at it, the meteorite group is also bounced against the junction. That's why territory can safely use magic in this setting.

Aunous stares at the territorials floating in the sky as he flips himself again. Jumping is easy. But after the jump, after they dodge the attack, that's the problem.

In the sky, it is still more advantageous for the opponent to have wings and move freely. If you fail to attack, you will undoubtedly get a Territorial attack in that gap.

But even if you keep avoiding him like this here, any of them will run out of health and you won't be able to defeat him. If you spend too much time on that, that's all the castle restoration is getting closer.

"This place is one or eight..."

As Aunous narrows his eyes as he is prepared, he desperately follows the movements of the falling meteorite group and visualizes the territory from its gap.

And the same two hands together as when you defeated Ellaora to create a shape that mimics the wolf's fangs. "Red Qi" overflowing from the body converges in both hands, increasing its heat to the extreme.

"... I'll stab you in the face, Territorial."

Then from the spot Aunous rushes out of the earth at a tremendous speed. A bumpy dent is created one after the other on the ground on which Ownous stepped.

"Battle Techniques, Hundreds of Customers"!

When suddenly Aunous' body braced, it split between the two of them. And those two became even more divided, and a hundred Awnows quickly appeared on the earth.

"Hmm, the signs are the same...... that's just great, Ownous"

Is he stunningly deceiving the sense of territoriality, he seems to be unable to identify the real Aunous.

The horde of Aunous predicted the timing and jumped to full force. He scratches the gaps in the meteorite group and sticks straight into the territory.

The territory tries to defeat Ornoz by hitting swords and black dots one after the other, but it seems like minutes of body is the only thing that disappears from his attack.

And right behind me were two Awnows approaching.

Territorial slashed and tore the left Oenous with his sword with a scoop, but the next moment, a murderous spirit ran from the right Oenous. The real thing was on the right.

In a moment, the territory frowned sadly. but immediately smiled,

"... you've given me a hard role... Awnous"

Having heard the word, Aunous's past with Territorial flashed back. battlefield I fought with him. A delicious drink I drank with him. The strength that we raised with him. Recap flowing as hard as a running lantern determines Aunous' chest.

"... cum!?

Aunous' expression distorted, and if so, closed his eyes and interrupted his concentration. And the "Thermal Wave Wolf Tooth" released by Aunous caused a great deal of discrepancy from the center of the territory's body, and the only thing that took it away was - - his left arm.

"Stupid...... Huh!?

It is the territorials that surprised me with that. Eat and bind your teeth and stare at Aunous, who is shaking your body.

"Why did you take it off, you idiot!

Words, however, do not stop the movement of territorials on the back. When I quickly pulled out the sword with my right hand, I moved quickly through the sky as it was, slashing it onto Aunous' body.

"Heatwave Wolf Tooth" is a one-hit special moves, and concentrating all "Red Qi" in both hands creates enormous attack power. However, there is also a risk that other parts of Red Qi will be lost and their defenses will be drastically reduced. Results……

Blood erupts from the body of Bushuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and Ornous. A body that has lost its defense is not capable of taking a territorial blow, even if it is applied Beast Awareness.

Bassari and his sword carved flesh from left shoulder to right abdomen.

"Awnowssss! Avoid it!

Territorials have nothing to do with their will, and the attack carries an obvious intent to kill. A sword protruded straight through Ornold's throat. Aunous dies as he is.

But without ruthlessly responding to the voice of Territorial, Aunous was just eating and tying his teeth.

"Idiot! Whoa!

And the sword of the territory pierces Aunous' throat - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I thought.

Suddenly Aunous disappeared from the scene. No, I didn't turn it off. The territory follows its destination with a gaze. There's...

"Mr. Ownos... I won't let him do it, Mr. - Doctor"

It was Tekkail, the "Sequence Third" of Kruel, which appeared with the big green bird, that held Ornoz.

A flash by the sword of Territorial succeeded in protecting him where he was in inches, precisely the moment he now tried to take Awnous' life.

And I noticed the advent of Tekkail. Aunous bled out of his upper body wound, but his consciousness seemed clear,

"... fool... why are you here..."

He seemed more careful that Tekkail, an intelligence officer to each unit, came here alone than he helped himself.

"Which one is the fool? If I hadn't helped you, Mr. Ownos, you'd be dead."

…………

"And..."

Staring at the territory where Tekkail is spreading his wings in front of him. That face I miss. But it's not the first time I've seen him dead.

A long time ago, a territory covered in black appeared to hide itself in front of Tekkail, who was gathering all sorts of information, while the 'humans' and the 'demons' were trying to form an alliance. And he was stunned by him for being caught off guard, and at one point he had been captured by Avoros.

The face I saw then. I really didn't want to believe it. That no one I respect is a puppet of Avoros.

You have to force yourself to serve the person who was killed. That remorse will be unparalleled. You will remember the spiciness of your heart being torn apart.

But this is how I see him face to face. I still think of Tekkail.

"... long time no see, Doctor..."

Oh, he said I miss you.

I would like him to share all kinds of knowledge with me again, if I may. I want to try drinking with you. More............... I want to talk to you.

I can't help but think so. The presence of him was so special to Tekkail.

He who was father, brother and master. I respected that way of life, and I tried to succeed him by losing and exercising myself.

"Often...... you've helped Oenous, Tekkail"

Yes, I've always wanted to be praised this way. Desperately put up with my eyeballs getting hot by accident.

"Doctor..."

"Fool. Don't look like that. Now I'm your enemy."

Still, Tekkail remembered to thank him for being able to patrol again in this way. All of a sudden he was killed by Avolos and I felt angry, but soon I couldn't ask him why he killed Territorial because Avolos was also dead. He had lost the destination of his swinging fist.

"... and you're so impotent, Tekkail"

Words are uttered as the territory looks at Tekkail's body. Now Techcale's body is scratched everywhere. Because I needed to come through a dense forest like a trap to get here.

I didn't want to make my existence too big if possible. So you can change into a soldier in Painting Magic, so you stepped into the dense forest and followed Aunous.

But the tree jamming is more intense than I thought, and it would take too long if I was dealing with him one way or the other. So he drew birds and made them materialize, and he went straight through the woods. On the way there were several times when trees interrupted me and I fell, and I was attacked by trees, but I came here to escape as a matter of priority.

As Tekkail took the brush out of his nose and let the brush sink into the back of the bird on board, the tip of the brush turned green.

This bird was created by Tekkail in "Painting Magic," and when you brush it like this, it's also a paint substitute.

Glance the brush along Aunous' wound. The paint then instantly hardens and succeeds in preventing Oenous from bleeding any further.

"Gu... I'm sorry, Tekkail..."

"No, sss. But I didn't recover from it. I'm Dames for being impotent."

"... oh"

Aunous lines up next to Techcale with his hands on the wound. But his face was shaded with regret.

"Sorry territorials......"

"Not at all. Why did you hesitate? You would have buried me then."

…………

I know how Oenous feels about Tekkail. Even if he was a dead man and Avoros was behind him, the territory was definitely Aunous' best friend.

No matter how ready I was to fight, I still couldn't help but get lost just before I killed him.

But then the war will not change forever. You can't lose this war. For those who want to protect him, Tekkail came here prepared.

"… sir"

"... teckeil"

"... I'm glad my teacher picked me up, sss"

…………

"My teacher taught me everything from scratch and I've always wanted to be a teacher"

The territory that picked itself up was already in the top ranks of the Demon Army and belonged to the Cruel as well. He was admired not only by strength, but also by his fellow citizens and soldiers. I respected him from the bottom of my heart like that.

I thought that one day standing shoulder to shoulder with him and defending the country would be a reward for him.

"... it's painful to no longer be able to fight shoulder to shoulder"

"Tekkail......"

"But... there's still a way to repay me, sss"

…………

"Here I am... crossing the teacher with my hands ssss!

……

"Back then, when I was still weak, I wanted to fight with you one day and brushed my arms. But not now, sss! Now...... knocking you down to cross you ssss! That's it! My grace, who is your apprentice and child!

"... well said"

Free the territory from the curse of Avoros with your own hands. Techcale thought that would be the biggest payback for the people he once raised.

And hearing that thought, Territorial is happily loosening his cheeks again.

"I'm going, Doctor!

"Show me. How far you've grown."

Tekkail moved the brush gently,

"" Painting Magic "..." Empty Drawing (Sky Paint) "!

Surprisingly, I started painting in the air, not on paper. It was also the bird that drew it up without even a few seconds. Bong and the painting 3D and Techcale rode on top of it.

"Mr. Ownos, please get on that bird, ss."

Tekkail decided it was inefficient to move with Aunous on board to create another bird.

"Well, I didn't know you could even draw in the air, Tekkail. I'm glad to hear it."

"Thank you, Dr. Sz. But we're still going to do it."

Tekkail is a 'demon tribe' with no wings, so he can't move around the sky alone as freely as a territory. So it would be inferior in mobility. Getting too close to that...

(The example is waiting for you...)

Tekkail shrinks the distance slightly as he stares at Jizzy Territorial's face. Then suddenly, potpouts and black dots are created around the territory.

That black dot is flown towards Tekkail.

(When it hits the array, it freely manipulates gravity, sss!

His magic is as familiar with Tekkail as it is with Aunous. That's why I also grasp the threat of black dots and give evasion orders to the birds to escape.

But when you get too far away, there's a trap waiting for you this time: a tree thrust up from the bottom. In Avoros airspace we need to fly with caution.

(But it's time for that to happen, too, sss. Until then, let me buy you some time.

Tekkail stares out of the woods with a flickering look at the black dots.

Aunous was gripping his fist remorsefully over the bird created by Tekkail, where Tekkail maintained a certain distance and confronted the territory.

I would have tailored the territory with the earlier "Heat Wave Wolf Tooth," but as a result I hesitate to tailor him, and this is how I am wounded and helped to get a hairy spot by Techcale.

"... unworthy"

Aunous didn't want Tekkail and Territorial to fight. The two of them were like a really close family.

One day, since Territorial picked up Tekkail, he had adopted him to teach him how to live, how to fight. Tekkail admired the territory, which also nurtured Tekkail dearly.

I have often been consulted about parenting, but Aunous has always been a calm and settled territory, but in booze seats it seemed fresh and interesting to worry about children.

But that's all he took seriously about Tekkail, and Aunous was happy.

Two like real parents and kids. The bond should have been very strong.

That's why Aunous, who didn't want them to fight, decided to move to stop the territorials himself.

"But like this..."

Gilli and regret the weakness of his own readiness. At that time, if I had ended it, I wouldn't have had to look at a teacher confrontation like this.

Aunous was staring at the battle between the two, frowning sorry as he touched the part where Tekkail stopped the bleeding with his hand.

"You can't just run away and beat me, Tekkail."

Tekkail doesn't listen to words that can be taken as such a territorial provocation. It only dodges from the black dots he releases from earlier.

"... what are you after?

Don't answer the question, keep going up and move to a place overlooking the territory. Tekkail quickly paints in the air with his brush in his right hand. It is the rock that I drew. When it embodies bong, a large rock, dozens of times larger, begins to fall towards the territory.

"... there you are"

Squeeze at Techcale's attack as the territory looks up over it.

But it's no use.

Then that lid, which has always been closed, is slowly lifted. At that moment, the great rock is sucked into his eyes. Shut up about that. Tekkail is looking down.

And after all the rocks far bigger than the territory disappear, Tekkail quietly moves to the same standing as him. Both face to face.

"... Long time no see. Teacher's Eye."

"Magic doesn't work for me. You know that, don't you?

"I remember you, Sz. How many times have you sucked the magic out of your teacher's eyes?

"Have you tried whether I can really use the Rhombic Eye? Looks like you're the informant."

"... one of the Devil's Eyes - The Rhombic Eye. Rare eyes that host the ability to absorb magic and attribute attacks. You seem to be doing just fine."

His both eyes. Unlike that of an ordinary person, the shape is double rhomboid. There is a red rhombus in the white eye, and a black rhombus is present in its center. And in its black rhombus, magic and attribute attacks are disassembled and all absorbed, a terrible ability to restore them as magic.

"But why did you keep your eyes closed all the time, sss? Could it be because I was having a hard time fighting watching my best friend, Mr. Ornold?

"... there's that too. But you should know too. That these eyes of mine are beyond control."

"You did, suss. While you're opening your eyes, you'll suck in the magic that's nearby, on either side of the enemy."

His eyes are certainly powerful, but while they're open, he can't use magic himself. Because it sucks in all its magic, too. In other words, he had made a black dot earlier and attacked Techcale, but if he had opened his eyes, the black dot would be sucked into his eyes shortly after it was created.

"But I knew I wanted you to open your eyes and look at me."

"... I'm sorry, I've always betrayed your feelings"

"… sir"

Tekkail shakes his head to the side.

"No, sss. I was just trying to shine that one."

"Tekkail......"

"Ha, and the teacher always took my thoughts straight, sus."

…………

"So............... you are my stop ssss"

The moment Tekkail declared so, flames arose from all over the dense forest.

"Hmm?"

The territory turns its gaze outside, staring at the burning trees. Tekkail smiles when he sees how it goes.

Time's up, Success.

"Well, what did you do, Tekkail?

"Before I got here, I gave the soldiers instructions."

I asked the soldiers waiting outside the dense forest to tell them that it was in those who went into the dense forest. It's about setting fire out of the woods. And it is to get out of the woods as soon as it is released.

Then the territory should move to quench the flames again. But now that Tekkail is stopping the territory, I can't do anything about the flames.

I stepped on that this could burn down a troublesome forest.

"I see you've thought about it, Tekkail."

"I'm the teacher's opponent. Let me erase this forest, sss!

Hit what Tekkail drew in the air again toward the territory. That's a flock of birds as swordfish as countless. One bird after another embodies it, storming straight into the territory.

The Territorial uses the Rhombic Eye as an example to suck away the magic of Tekkail. If you want to inhale something as massive as the flames that are burning in the dense forest, you have to concentrate all nerves in your eyes. In its appearance, where one cannot move, it is not possible to make that choice because it is easily attacked by Tekkail.

Techcale took a way to concentrate his consciousness on himself and burn down the dense forest in the meantime.

"Root racer, Doctor!

He moves his hands fast and creates a losing and bird in the momentum of being inhaled.

"... and I'm not going to do anything that inefficient!

"Huh!?

He notices a knife hidden behind the bird in front of the territory, stopping him from inhaling once and escaping the spot. But Tekkail, with a knife behind his back, flew in on the bird.

"Huh!?

Bushuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. But it came from Techcale's body. A territorial response to all the brilliance caused the slaughter on Tekkail's body, which was just waving the sword in his right hand.

Territorial, the person who attacked him, is sadly frowning. Avoros manipulates the body to deal with enemies naturally. Of course he would like his beloved apprentice, Tekkail, and not want to attack him or anything.

But the body moves on its own. Territorials were engulfed with grief for hurting them with their own hands.

For a moment, the slashed body of Tekkail became liquid in an instant and bounced.

"Huh!?

Then the territory looks up feeling murderous from above. From there, Tekkail falls alone, and in his hand is held the sword he was carrying on his hips.

"I got it, suss!

Using the velocity of the fall, the sword velocity adds to Techkel's swinging power, creating a flashing sword line. But is it just a territory or is it empty, but I try to pull my body agile?

Tekkail also knew he would definitely react. So Quick Tech Kail also moves his body again to make sure he doesn't miss his target.

But suddenly gravitational junctions emerge around the territory. Even if we multiply the gravity of the teckyle that is in the juncture, it almost makes no sense. No, it just adds more momentum instead of making sense. That's why Tekkail is falling straight from the sky.

It's just that the body of the territory blinks for a moment and leaves a vestige from the spot to disappear. Tekkail decides that he mitigated his own gravity and quickly dodged it, blurring his face. But the next moment,

"Don't give up yet, Tekkeilu!

It is above Tekkail that you can hear your voice. There was an appearance of Aunous holding the territory from behind.

"Aunous......!?

"The Lord's aggressive movements... are visible to me"

…………

"Because we are best friends who have been running through several battlefields together!

……

Nor is Aunous' body in any way adequate. It would rather be near death. Yet he seemed to have read the movement of the territory and preceded him in his evasion. Territorial is desperately moving his body, but he can't get out of it if Aunous is powerful.

"Now. Ah! Do it, Tekkeiluuuuu!"

Hot stuff pours into Techcale's chest at that cry of Ornold. And the bird on which Ownous was riding was downstairs, so he scaffolded the bird and jumped straight up. Aim straight at the territory. And the moment he enters the gravitational juncture, Tekkail closes his eyes and feels his signs.

Keep swinging your sword...

"Shit! Shit, hey, hey!

Tekkail waved his sword down with a sad face. Prepared for grief, he turned his readiness into power and flashed with all his thoughts on his sword.

Moment after moment, you felt ready for Tekkail, the territory gently loosened its cheeks.

"... you're getting stronger... teckeil"

Tekkail's sword slashed and tore the body of the territory.

Tekkail's slashed territory falls to the ground powerless. But there is no bloodshed. Again, the reluctance also makes me understand that he is a dead man.

Unexpectedly Tekkail reaches out and tries to help him as he falls through a patchy wound on his chest, but at the inches, he thinks of it.

What happens if I help you here? That wound was born by Tekkail, and this result is his own choice.

Squeeze your outstretched hand and learn loneliness in your hands without any sensation. But at that time, someone took the falling territorial hand, put it in shape, and landed it on the bird that was down there.

"... Mr. Ornouse"

He was also someone who was fighting the same grid as Tekkail. On the bird created by Tekkail he holds the territory and slowly causes it to lie on the bird.

"... give me something I can leave alone... you fool, Ownous"

"I don't know what else to do, my body has moved on its own."

To the territory with his eyes closed, Aunous was answering with a bitter smile. Tekkail is getting closer there too.

"… sir"

"Tekkail... well done. It was a brilliant blow not to be ashamed of in the name of Cruel."

"... a blow special. Keep searching for the best blow by identifying the spot. That's what the teacher taught me. Unfortunately, the first blow was avoided."

"No, it was a great blow with all the spirits in it."

I grew up being taught the importance of a blow by the territory from an early age. If you're up against someone whose strength is antagonistic, it depends even more on whether a blow enters and whether that blow attracts the opponent's incapacity for combat. That's why he invited his opponent to be alert and chose to act in vain to attack.

"Maybe the teacher ordered Avoros to do this, sss. Prevent the threat of approaching the castle."

…………

Techcale and Aunous understand that silence is an affirmation.

"That's why I tried to make sure that burning dense forests scattered the teacher's consciousness. Of course, if you're a lifetime teacher, you should definitely give priority, and you should do your best to be able to do it one by one, sss. But while my current teacher was consciously alert to me, my body was unconsciously reacting to the flames that were unleashed in the woods. That's why my movements and thoughts were dull, sss."

That's all you've been thinking about.

"Yes, sss. Plus, we've investigated that the dead don't have all the power in their lifetime. Perhaps that would lead to Avolos' magical limitations, but with all those zombie soldiers and black clothes created and manipulated, it's impossible to be able to use a hundred percent capability for all the dead."

Many of the black dead, who were actually scattered all over the place, remained in doubt if asked whether they were exercising their full power. I guess that's due to magical restrictions after all.

"No matter how much Avoros used the teacher's own flesh... ssss"

"... you were aware"

"Heiss. The dead man in black doesn't feel angry in his eyes with the information. He's black. But the teacher who's supposed to be a dead man is different, sss. That's probably because Avoros uses his own flesh directly."

A dead man in black who also showed up during the battle on a bridge connecting the continent. When I looked it up after I defeated them, their bodies were like dolls made by connecting many corpses together like puzzles. That's where Avoros was embedding his soul and manipulating it.

And that kind of raw thing was characterized by black creepy eyes, but at least I didn't see that in the territory. And now we can see what's happening to his body by slashing and tearing his clothes apart.

He is a dead man, so no blood has passed, but it was not a body that connected convenient parts unlike the rest of the dead, but the very body that the territory had worked out in his lifetime. That's why I was able to determine that his presence was a use of his body.

"You're starting to get around to your head. Are you sure it was that cowardly, crybaby, Tekkail?

"Ugh... I don't want you to say that, sss"

Tekkail blushes unexpectedly at the teasing of the territory.

"With that said, those woods were made of magic, right? And yet why didn't you disappear with me when I inhaled the fire with your Rhombic Eye?

Ask the Territory a question if Aunous was inadvertently wondering. Then the territory began to talk, "Oh, you know what?"

"My eyes react to what was created by pure magic and attribute attacks. That one is certainly made of magic, but it was created using seeds of trees that exist in reality. That is a magical creature that should be called cooperation between a man named Hyomi and a man named Kainabi. That's not pure magic anymore, it's equal to a monster. My eyes will not come true to inhale a being with firm life. You know that, don't you?

"That's right, Mr. Ownos, could you have forgotten?

"Ugh..."

Apparently I forgot. Ownous is pointing that way. Then he speaks to the territory with a sudden momentum to change the subject.

"Territorial, does your body not move?

"Oh, you see what's embedded in your chest, don't you?

Territorial lets Ownous' words gather his gaze on his chest. A red stone can be seen pulsating from the patchy open wound. It's just that Techcale's attack has caused a crack in the center, making it weak.

"This is the Devil's Stone created by Avoros. Every dead man must be small and small, but embedded. Thanks to this, Avoros has succeeded in manipulating so many dead people."

That was also available in the information. A similar Demon Stone has been discovered when he dissected the defeated zombie soldiers and the dead in black. And it also confirmed that a vast amount of magic lived there.

And it was presumably like a receiver that would receive the power of Avoros.

"But despite Avoros' bondage, is it something you can say about that?

It makes no difference what is inconvenient to Avoros. And yet I wondered why I could talk to you, Aunous.

"Probably because I hurt Demon Stone. My body doesn't move, but I feel refreshed to get out of the restraint I've always felt."

I guess "Demon Stone" is like the need to amplify Avolos' magic and manipulate his opponents. That's what was hurt by Techcale, and it seems to be losing its effect.

"Now, you can tell me what I know."

"So, but Doctor..."

"Yeah, don't worry about me, Tekkail. I am rejoicing in the miracle of being able to see you again. What more do you want than to feel the same kindness of Aunous and your growth on this skin?"

…………

"I... am satisfied enough"

The words made me unbearable and Tekkail wept.

"Eh... Seung... Seung...!

"... still remained a crybaby?

I don't tell you to be shy, I don't tell you to blame me. That voice of the territory was filled with love and serenity.

"... I was killed by Avoros because I was investigating him"

"Investigation?"

Aunous listens back.

"Oh, there were times when he wouldn't show up from time to time when he was still reigning as the Demon King. Surprised that I didn't have anything to report either nearby, I was looking into him in confidence. Then one time, I saw him meeting a man in white in a certain place."

"White outfit? Who's that?

"I don't know his face because he was wearing a hood. I could just tell it was a man from my voice. And I felt a different atmosphere from the person. I feel as if I'm out of line with the world, and I remember my fear running. Thoughts I felt at the time… It's hard to put into words, but by analogy, my brain felt like my heart was screaming"

I don't know, but I could only understand that the unusual air was flowing on the spot.

"He was clear in his ears trying to get some information, but he also noticed that Avoros was also noticing that I was investigating Avoros, and immediately left from the spot to somewhere. And then one day, all of a sudden, he came to my room because he had a serious story to tell. I was going to be on guard, but I wasn't aware of the other intruder"

"No way......!?

"That's right. Soon the white outfit we talked about was in the room. The moment they poked me through the gap, I was buried by Avoros"

There was a severe earthquake in the country. Avoros himself confessed that a territorial near the Demon King had been killed at Avoros' own hands.

Everyone asked why they had cut off the territory. And Avoros disappeared a week later when he said he would show the answer, and a week later, as promised, Avoros showed a confusing answer for everyone.

-... by his own death.

No matter who you ask, you don't know the truth. Only it became clear that Avoros had killed and died a territory. Someone said it was suicide, but for some reason the 'Demon Clan' -specific 'Demon Nucleus' had been taken from his chest.

It was presumed that someone had taken it, that it had been murdered by someone at that time, and that it had taken away the Demon Nuke, although I did not know what it was meant to do.

Most would not have spoken of his death but would have been pleased, as there were a large number of those who were originally dissatisfied with Avoros sitting in the Demon King.

That's how the odd case came to an end. Leave only a creepy and enigmatic footprint.

"So you don't want Avolos to tell you that he was meeting a man in white, and he killed your Lord?

"I guess. I chose death myself... no, I don't know the truth about faking death, but I probably needed some sort of prep period. To wage this war."

Territorial views would not be wrong. Even if he remained on the throne of the Demon King, sooner or later someone would have stepped out of the interior to stop his atrocities. And there's a lot of them.

That's just Avoros can't really be killed either, so he must have faked death and made steady progress in preparing for war.

"Do you know who that white outfit is?

"... oh, I'm still in the castle. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's him from the atmosphere he creates."

"... who?

"What's his name?"

- Don't be bothered if they say something unsolicited.

He hears a wild voice, and Tekkail and Aunous follow the Lord of the Voices aggressively.

Then there was the figure of a leopard riding on a marutai stretched from the ground.
