Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 67: Different

"Is that it? Did you bring that?

There were two swords down on Mr. Currier's hips.

One of them is a sword I used when I fought Hibigami.

Surely it should have been called the Holy Devil's Sword Rivergate.

"Oh... I don't know what it is."

First Hierarchy of Holy Relics.

Mr. Currier walking next door puts his hands on the sword pattern.

"I thought to myself before when you fell into the lower tier. He said you should have your hands ready in this sacred ruin."

It reminds me of what I should also call that war maiden who combines elegance with intimidation.

"It's a hundred people."

"You're bringing the Devil's Eater."

"It's subtle to see if I can use it."

I also brought two swords today.

Shi Jing sword on his back.

And 'demon-eating' on his hips.

When I received Shi Jing's sword from Ira the other day, she talked to me about wanting to take the knife, so that I could lower it off my belt.

However, because of the properties that absorb this "demon eater", the surrounding saccharin, it inhibits the procedure of other members.

So basically I plan to fight with Shi Jing Sword.

I don't know if there is a phase to use.

Still, as with Mr. Currier, I thought I didn't know what was there and brought it once and for all.

I'm the only one who can inhibit the treatment of sacraments as long as I keep them in the sheath, so bringing them would not be a problem in itself.

"To the Holy Devil's Sword, the Devil's Knife"

Ira walking in the front row alongside Mr. Ray smiles bitterly and touches his belted sword.

"Atashi also managed to prepare the Devil's Sword, but he's just going to be inferior."

"The battle is not determined solely by the quality of the sword. If that's the case, he's got a lot of overall power, which means he's overwhelmingly in his favor."

Ms Currier emphasised the part of 'Overall Strength' with irony.

How much hierarchy are the Bashkartas in right now that I would have guessed if they did that overall power?

Their offensive squad should have solidified in students reaching at least nine levels ago.

The reach to the giant will be quicker than this one.

"By the way, Krohiko, the new curse in the example works normally, right?

Everyone in the Ira squad, including Mr. Currier, has been informed that I have learned a new curse.

However, due to the slight load on the flesh, it is not easy to disclose given future strategies.

It explains what it is.

"Yes, the use itself is fine"

If there is a problem, it would be more of a 'beast' feeling.

When I tried it with Mr. Makina, I didn't feel as different as before, but if I used it more often, that feeling could increase the strength to try to dominate me.

So while the area is unclear, it seems better to refrain from cheap turbulence.

That's why I have to build a force that I can fight without having to rely on the curse...... but there were times when I wanted to try to see if I could resist that feeling with two curses first.

In other words, if I can get around to dominating enough, I can use the curse more often.

"Mm."

Goblins showed up before us.

But Mr. Ira and Mr. Ray, who were in the front row, killed instantly.

If you're a member of this offensive squad, you won't be dealing with any more hierarchical demons around here.

As far as Mr. Currier is concerned, he used to kill Dark Tiger Heads, which originally appeared on the twelfth tier, instantly.

Just having her alone is a lot of fighting power.

That's why we reach three levels without difficulty.

We were all able to get off in less time because we had already broken through, but this was a slightly more relaxed move because we weren't going to compete with the offense at speed.

"What's up, Mr. Currier?

There was a mixture of danger in Mr. Currier's expression since he went down to the third tier.

There's a vertical, straight aisle ahead of us.

She stared at the end of the aisle as if to measure something.

"Something... Coming"

This is a three-tier place.

The main demons that emerge are the small cyclops and the Lizardman.

I can't flatter you that we're struggling with right now.

But that Mr. Currier is giving me a peek of vigilance.

That may not be the demon that usually appears in this hierarchy.

I reached for the Shi Jing sword on my back and spoke to the two people who were going forward.

"Mr. Ira, Mr. Ray"

The two of them turn to the call.

"What's wrong, Crohiko?

"Something seems to be wrong. For once, you might want to get ready to fight."

"... ok"

I'm sure some people are asking about past Fae encounters at the Holy Ruins, Mr. Ira grips the Sword pattern of her hips without poorly pinching questions.

Likewise, Mr. Ray puts his hand on the fine sword.

The rear Mr. Cecilies also went into battle preparation.

And once you stop walking, pay attention to the bend behind the aisle.

"Multiple."

Mr Currier said.

Get this close and I'll see.

Multiple signs of something coming this way.

Is it Fae?

And

"Huh?"

Isla was the first person to put the surprise out of her mouth.

"Mr. Ira... that"

He appeared from a bend in the form of a man whose body ran an orange vascular meshed line - a demon.

Is it a small version that I was wandering around in a set in the room where the example magma giant was?

When I asked, Mr. Ira nodded in confusion.

"Ugh, yeah, definitely...... but"

An unintelligible tone.

"How could you be in such a low hierarchy..."

That's right.

According to Ira's story, there should be nine tiers of small editions, including Magma Giants.

How can that be on three levels?

Moreover,

"Well, it still looks like this year's holy ruins are different than before"

At the end of Mr. Cecily's gaze to say so - a small version of the Magma giant appears one after the other behind the aisle.

I remember a bunch of blue goblins I'd encountered before.

The small version had no eyes, ears, or nose.

Only sharp teeth-lined mouths can be painfully confirmed.

"Whatever, we have to do it."

In one word, Mr. Currier, everyone goes into a state of war.

Then the small editions opened their mouths and headed this way. No, wow, wow, and a spooky voice came up.

How many?

A dozen?

"First the Atasis set it up and see how it goes! Until then, Currier and Crohiko will alert the crossing passages, Cecily, Siegbelt and Hilgis will alert the rear! Crohiko, Cecily would like to follow up if there are any small species that the Atasis missed! Because if you're going to struggle, I'm going to ask for backup!

Mr. Ira gives instructions as he sheaths his sword.

We will soon move on to what we were told.

Mr. Ira is with Mr. Ray, a small version - to a position where he intercepts small species.

Small version approaching.

The first piece of shit jumped on Mr. Ray.

Mr. Ray avoids the attack while skilfully considering his positional relationship with Mr. Ira, even though the passage is wide enough for the two humans to finally wield their swords.

Small species are sword-pierced through their throats while avoiding them.

Mr. Ray continued to plug his body into the heart of a small species.

Small species fall to the front.

Ira, on the other hand, flies the neck of a small species waving her sword to echo Ray's movements.

Apparently, the first two were fatally wounded and dissolved just like the rest of the demons.

Apparently, it's not a threat in strength.

But... can I really pepper this strength?

I'm still concerned about past information that the Little Sacred Superiors didn't have teeth.

Or is the magma giant in the protective species room a substandard strength......

Then the movement of the other small species stopped perfectly.

What's the matter with you?

Doesn't look like a frightening breeze...

When I was surprised, the small seeds opened their mouths.

And the mouth starts to glow blue and green.

No, you're not.

Taking in the sacraments?

"What are you doing, these guys!?

Mr. Ira takes a step back.

The color of the line running on the black body of a small species changes from orange to blue and green.

What the fuck?

The vibe... changed?

"- Ira, I'm coming!

Mr. Ray stands up.

Poop, and Mr. Currier slapped me in the back.

I also found it to be unspoken.

Let's go, that's the signal.

I guess this place felt like we should be dealing with each other.

"We do. Seems like the first phenomenon I've ever seen. You can't expose a squad leader to an unknown threat here."

We'll see how it goes first.

I said, me and Mr. Currier crossed between the two men in the front row and went forward.

Small species in the front row roar and shake their arms.

Mr. Currier bends his torso to avoid the small seed's unleashed lateral hook.

The noise continues.

A fist that lost its goal ran deep into the walls of the Holy Ruins and ran a crack.

"... Huh?

It was Mr. Ray who raised his voice.

I know why I'm surprised.

I'm just sorry if I ate that fist of power properly.

It's not strange when your gut is hit.

Moreover, Mr Currier seemed to have avoided it dangerously, but the movement of the small species itself is obviously bottomed up.

I guess it was because it was Mr. Currier who showed up in the spare and avoided wind.

"Hun, do you take in the sacraments to increase your strength? They're like holy swords."

With a long sword, Mr. Currier chops off a small seed.

He was a small species that tried to guard with his arms up, but that guard was the first against the feint Mr. Currier put in.

He switched the sword's orbit in an instant, making it look like he was snapping his neck.

"Hmm... the steeple hasn't changed. A deep wound to the neck or the heart seems to knock him down. But it looks like a little natural restoration is working."

Mr. Currier had only a small scratch on his arm before the stubborn cut.

Her eyes said as she looked at the wound.

"The wound is smaller despite only a few moments. I mean, if you don't give them a fatal wound, these guys are likely to regenerate soon."

Mr. Currier pokes the tip of the sword at the discolored small species.

The small breeds opened their mouths to intimidate them, and barked, ooh, ooh, ooh.

but when Mr. Currier stepped forward without the wind through the intimidation of the small species, he chopped up the bodies of the small species that were in the front row several times at a speed that was not even noticeable.

Blue and white light leaks out of the wounds of small species in the front row.

"I've cut my whole body through it...... it's hard on my arms, legs, head, and belly. Neck or chest, if you want."

Not to mention that I've already run errands, but Mr. Currier chops up the neck of a small seed that was stiff.

In addition, Mr. Currier comes forward.

"Well - that's where the analysis is. And then if we calmly identify the attack speed and the situation, this member should have no problem."

Small species entering the nostalgia try to bite.

but the sword body that Mr. Currier pushed in from the bottom pierced his heart first.

The small species collapsed like a thread had been cut.

After slashing and laying down several small species while further lightly avoiding the attack, Ms Currier said.

"I left it for each and every one of us. Try while switching back and forth - and Krohiko has already defeated them, so five of them are left."

Ira, who was distracted, looks at me.

I was just about to snap the neck of a small species that was coming this way.

If I make you snort, Mr. Ira and Mr. Ray will come forward with a replacement.

The two successfully poked the steeple and knocked it down.

The next replacement Mr. Cecily, Sieg and Mr. Hilgis also deal with each other one at a time.

I couldn't say it was light except for Mr. Cecily, but it wasn't as handy as it sounded.

"Small species don't seem to be a problem... but is it slightly harsher when the number increases to more than a certain number? As Ira reads, you were right to still have some number of people."

Mr Currier says as he looks down at the small seeds that dissolve away.

"And then it depends on the power of the giant who seems to be your best friend? The question is how strong it is compared to these guys' abilities. Hmm, when the next one comes, should we now try to see if the procedure is effective?"

…………

I compliment Mr. Ira, but what do you care? Mr. Currier is amazing.

I kind of feel like I'm getting lectures on the ground.

Not only has it been easy to analyze small species, but it also feels like the analysis is underway against our power.

Hmm.

But at last, I thought it might be the unveiling of a new curse, but someone to this extent is going to manage to do it without a curse.

The use of the new curse may even be reserved for the example.

"But how come these guys are on three levels..."

I look down with a convincing look at where Mr. Ira had the last small seed that melted and disappeared.

I put my hand on my mouth and think about it, Mr. Ira.

"I don't think so, but..."

Something Mr. Ira was about to say, and I saw something show up again at the end of the aisle.

That's...

"Fiburg!?

I noticed as well, Mr. Ira raised her voice.

That's right.

What showed up from the back of the aisle was a hemp lu looking exhausted with a sword in his hand.

When Ma Lu noticed us, he approached us with a look that seemed complicated.

Is there a distance from us of about twenty meters?

Ma Lu walks over here dragging her legs.

"Duh, what's wrong!?

Asking Ira, Ma Lu replied, concerned about the rear.

"Those... those creepy little breeds, they" climbed "the stairs to the upper floors of the Holy Ruins...!

Mr. Ray reacts surprisingly.

"Huh? What now?

Plus Mr. Ira shows the same reaction.

"'Get up'... did you? Yeah, wait? Sure, the 'emergence' of the Fae, which should be in the lower layers more recently, has been confirmed... but that's impossible. I can't believe the demons of the Holy Ruins' climbed 'the stairs to the upper level..."

"Really?

I'm not familiar with it. I asked Ira.

Then Mr. Ray answered on her behalf, beginning her silence with a strange face.

"Yeah. That's why the stairs to the upper tier are also a kind of 'shelter' for the offensive squad. Normally, demons give up and go back even when they come after them. In some cases, it is more effective than using a transfer device where demons gush. The higher the hierarchy, the weaker it becomes, at least."

I see.

If it's a transfer device, we'll have to deal with a lot of demons on that floor.

But I often met demons who weren't supposed to be in that hierarchy, so I wondered if demons sometimes came up the stairs.

Besides, if a demon below appears in the upper hierarchy, it doesn't seem strange to have enough to come up the stairs...

but apparently that's not supposed to happen.

Mr. Ira looks serious.

Or was that what you just called 'I don't think so -'?

"Ira."

It was Mr. Currier who spoke up.

"Hey, what?

"Those guys mean... they're moving up the hierarchy more and more?

"It's impossible if it's normal. But those guys who were supposed to be on the Nine Hierarchies were now on these three levels... plus in the story of Fiburg, they came 'up' the stairs. I mean..."

"The possibility of getting out on the ground is also unlikely?

I was the one who asked.

But maybe that's a question that came to everyone's mind.

"I don't know. But, you know, it's a big deal. No, on the other hand, if even that giant is up in the hierarchy... if he's going for the ground, it's really hard..."

"Hey, you can do that later!

Ma Lu is interrupting.

"Help me now!

"Five, Luc?

Mr. Ira makes a bewildering voice.

"Transfer device or whatever! Help me... Help me! I'll give you the money! Whatever you want, you can draw the battle!

Then a black man-shaped demon ran a blue and white line from across the aisle - those small species appeared all over the place.

Hih, and Ma Lu screams briefly.

"Come on, you bastard! Hey! You guys, do something!

I don't know how much fear he has tasted. Ma Lu is pale in the face.

The distance between us and Ma Lu is still about ten meters.

"Wow, okay!

Mr. Ira grabbed the sword and stepped forward.

but that's where mr. Currier grabs mr. Ira's shoulder.

"What do you do, Currier!?

"Are you... are you going to help him?

"'Cause it's not like this."

"What's it gonna be to help that guy?

"Huh?"

"Hey, Fiburg"

Mr. Currier spoke to Ma Lu.

"Ah?"

"What happened to the others?

"Oh, Bashkarta's dead! Shit, you're usually so prestigious, you're freaking out on the ground! It didn't do me any good!

"... what else?

"Oh? You know what? Beoza and some of them managed to get out of the protective species room while protecting the other students! I thought you left on the transfer device to fight somewhere else!?

"I mean, did you leave the Beozas and run off on your own?

"To, you didn't run away! It's just that you gave priority to the people who should survive!

"Hum...... right, though?

Mr. Currier asked Mr. Ira.

Ira biting her lips.

"But... even that one, he's the same lion group student, right?

"As I said before, I give it back thoroughly and maliciously to people who come at me maliciously. There is no compassion. As far as I'm concerned... I think it would be better if the man had a long sleep. Death in the Holy Ruins doesn't really mean death."

"Currier, no..."

"Oh, and then neither Ira nor Crohiko, nor any of the other guys are going to be sick about anything? I'm the one who abandoned Fiburg."

Everyone was cramped with answers.

I don 't--

"No, I knew you couldn't do that!

And before I opened my mouth, it was Ira who said so and ran.

"Sure, he could be a terrible one! Yeah, I think even Atashi is a nasty one!? But Atashi can't kill someone who's hurt in front of him and says," Help! "

"Ah, Ira..."

Ma Lu gives me a soothing look.

And one Mr. Ira stands up to a small species.

I scratched my head with Gashi.

"Excuse me, Mr. Currier."

"Crohiko?"

"I totally agree with Mr. Currier, too. Actually, Ma Lu - it's not like I didn't have the math to abandon Fiburg. Naturally, I was upset. But you can't just abandon Mr. Ira."

Say, I follow Mr. Ira, too.

Chip, Mr. Currier pounded his tongue.

"People like you."

"Shall we also go, then? To help Crohiko and Ira."

I heard Mr. Cecily from behind.

…………

Hmm.

I knew you had a good personality around getting rid of Ma Lu clearly and saying it was me and Ira......

And that was then.

Front of me.

Three small cyclopses emerged from the crossing passage.

but something is wrong.
