Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

The sword of Illis and the sword of Ruino exchanged. Metal sounds that echo around you. That won't happen once, it will continue intermittently.

When dealing with Purple Electricity, Illis wraps a purple thunderbolt around his body as well as his body.

But I'm not wearing thunder on my body right now. Though the thunder pouring from his body made a noise, Illis was consciously controlling 'it'.

However, there are many opponents who just unleash their power on the dark clouds that do not work.

I've already seen the Battle of Ruino. I don't need to see how things are going, I don't need to be restrained. Use the magic flowing into your own flesh to wave your sword.

So is the way Ruino fights. She doesn't rely on magic to fight - simply one blow at a time, wielding the blade with force. Little difference exists between each other's sword speeds.

In all the swings, it was possible to decide whether to win or lose.

"Hit, like! I knew this was the way to fight!

With a happy grin, says Ruino. The blades of England are exchanged in a critical fashion, with a slight slice in the kimono.

I won't stop worrying about anything that trivial.

Ruino takes a step and pokes at Iris' chest.

Iris reacts immediately and prevents poking with purple electricity - no, recieve. Slightly disobedient to keep the power intact.

Seeing the 'gap' thus created, Illis launched a fast sword strike.

"Huh!"

He said, "You can't hit it!

Ruino leans back heavily on his body and exchanges an attack by Illis. Poking his hands to the ground with the momentum intact, it kicked out.

It was aimed at a hand with purple electricity from Illis.

"Huh!"

I can't help it, I can get Iris' arm up. Ruino had already returned to his posture, bending his knees and bowing himself. Kick the ground and aim for Iris' neck with a quick move.

(Fast -)

Counter attack from evasion. Plus the speed to get on the offense is out of digits. Overwhelmingly, there is a difference in Experience in Action from Illis.

But I have a lot of experience in one-on-one battles with Illis.

Especially in the pure 'Battle of the White Soldiers', Britain is called the strongest by many. The word is too heavy for Englis, who is only fifteen.

But Alta, who was supposed to be younger than that, promised me that he would name 'the strongest in the kingdom'. He told me where Illis was going.

I'm here to 'protect' someone like that - to this extent, there's no way to lose.

Iris has lost his balance, but he dares not get his attitude in order and leans back heavily. Ruino's blade, which has popped up in momentum, swings empty at the critical point.

Iris twists his body and turns backwards.

As Luino rotates in the air, he immediately realizes he's pointing this way. And

"Hit! This is my true way of fighting."

Created at the foot of Ruino was The Wall of Magic. Approximately, it's a neglected thing that hasn't even reached the level of magic - as a scaffold, that would suffice.

Spring both legs and accelerating back under the Illis again.

Almost horizontal jump. Illis immediately enters a defensive posture, but cannot kill Ruino's momentum.

It wasn't fatal, but a blow to the shoulder of Illis.

Never shallow, Iris distorts his expression in pain. But that's not the end of Ruino's attack.

Illis flips his body instantly - Ruino was, again, in the offense.

Blade approaching in front of you. Illis prevents it at the critical again. A rubbing metal sound echoes and the two intersect.

Also, without killing the power, Illis is slashed in the arm.

(Still not responding enough...!)

Then the third shot.

Ruino's momentum never stops, and now he approaches Illis to glide from a slightly higher position.

"Phew."

Breathe small, and Illis becomes conscious.

Don't be confused by speed and momentum - Ruino's movements are by no means special.

Rather, a blow that seeks to ensure that Iris' life is taken is simple and easy to understand.

Again, the reaction was slightly delayed - the next attack can be definitely prevented. Undoubtedly, I can see the look on Ruino's face shaking slightly.

Until the first blow, (d), I could definitely have wounded Iris.

But on the third blow, Illis cut it out. In the fourth blow that followed, the blade of Illis was more ahead.

Leaping with momentum, Ruino crosses while trying to prevent the blade of Illis.

Ruino rebuilt his attitude while trying to roll down the ground.

"... I'm a little surprised. I can't believe you followed my offense with just three shots and went further than that."

As far as the fourth blow is concerned, Ruino has been wounded.

In the battle, Illis constantly grows. Its growth is remarkable, and the more intense the battle - the more power Illis gets.

Purple electricity was erected, and Illis looked to Ruino. Keeping himself low, Ruino also clenches the knife and sets it up.

"I told you. I said I'd stop you."

"By the time you're completely skinless, right? That doesn't sound right."

"... right. But let me just say this. It's me who wins."

"Hiccup on, that's good. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been a willingness to kill me there. If you're so strong, why aren't you going to enjoy the fight more? of critical...... aren't you going to enjoy the taking of life? It's not too late."

Ruino shakes his sword loosely and shows his inviting tricks. Still seems to want a 'kill each other' against Illis.

Responding to that is the easiest thing to do.

Without Iris thinking about it, he decides to kill Ruino - that's all.

I'm sure that might be easier. It is many times more powerful to wield without thinking.

But the path that Illis chose… is the path to fulfilling his dreams, even if it is difficult.

"I won't change my mind."

"... well. Too bad."

"I need to check with you, too."

"... Confirm?

"Yes, Luino, why did you... try to fight Xenas?

That's something I've always wondered.

At the time we came here, at the time Illis and Ruino confronted each other - this was what was supposed to happen.

He declared that Illis would fight, so that Luino would choose to fight Illis.

Yet when Ruino saw Zenas in his sight, he went there without hesitation.

"Nothing, it doesn't make any deep sense. The swordsmen are after Alta Schweitz. Sooner or later, I was going to end it... that's all."

"Then I should be in the way, too. Rather, this is how we fight to protect Dr. Schweitz."

If it means getting in the way, then definitely Illis is more in the way for Ruino.

But even if Ruino bothered to let Illis go - he chose to fight Zenas.

He now challenged his Zenas opponent as happy that he had not tried to fight properly in the Wang capital.

Ruino's actions have something to hook him up with.

"... what are you trying to say?

Ruino's expression gets sharper.

The conclusion reached by Illis may be incorrect. But the reason why Ruino waves the sword is that I'm sure he doesn't just enjoy the fight.

"I also heard you had a cooperative relationship with the Knights to fight Dr. Schweitz. I'm sure that's for real."

"Of course, I'm going to. So you're trying to stop me, aren't you?

"That's right. I wanted to stop you without killing you because I thought you weren't just enjoying killing."

"... Huh?

The look on Ruino's face gets more rude.

Ilis stayed put and went on with the words.

"If you just really enjoy the fight...... there must have been a fierce battle even in King's Capital. But I heard the Knights were the only ones who actually suffered the damage. Let's do it in this town. The only people you killed... were the swordsmen. Except for the fact that you're after Dr. Schweitz, your behavior seemed rather attentive."

There seems to be no consistency in Ruino's behaviour, and there is one legality.

"What's that? It's like I'm... you want to tell me you're fighting for someone else on purpose? You mean like," The Righteous Side "?

"... the word justice is not such an easy word to use. But you chose to fight Zenas because Zenas was after Aria and Mr. Otto, right? You are the enemy of the strong, and you are the ally of the weak. So... I wanted to stop you."

It's only Illis', it's speculation. Even now, Ruino must be waving a knife to ensure that he takes the life of Illis.

But Ruino yesterday - he didn't even try to fight Illis.

He didn't fight, admitting his strength.

That would give rise to questions in the Illis, which brought us to one answer.

I hope to fight the strong and hate the weak getting hurt - I wonder if that's a girl named Ruino Tomra.

Having heard the words of Illis, Ruino laughs with a distorted expression.

"... heh, heh, heh, heh! Really, you're funny, aren't you? Is my actions the only reason I can say that much?

"They look alike, me and"

"... similar?

"Yes. I thought I could do anything on my own, without relying on anyone - I tried to be strong. And when someone showed up who might be stronger than me, I tried to fight that person. I'm stronger, 'cause I tried to prove it. I said I'd be the strongest knight. Don't you have similar feelings?

"That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, it's an important feeling, isn't it? But..."

From the look on Ruino's face, the smile disappears.

"Have a windy mouth... don't be smart forever"

Set up a knife, and Ruino rushes out. Ten series of strikes carried out from an unusual speed.

All the swordsmanship unleashed like dancing - Illis can prevent it. The blade intersects the blade, and their gaze intersects.

Ruino's expression was full of surprises.

"Why, suddenly..."

"It's not sudden. My strength hasn't changed. I feel upset about your sword."

"I'm upset...? Don't be ridiculous. About your word......!

Ruino shows an anger-dewy look. Words are backwards, the most emotional person on the table ever - someone who had no idea what he was thinking.

But because you are angry, one fact will be proven.

The words of Illis are true - Ruino cannot deny it.

That's why I'm exposing my feelings of anger.

It is understandable because it was once Illis who pointed out to Alta that he was vengeful.

I'm sure Ruino is just like Illis.

Illis plays Ruino's sword and launches a series of strikes. Ruino prevents and deflects it.

Try to strike back immediately, but Illis won't allow it.

Take out a quick sword strike and don't give Ruino time to fight back. The sword speed should have been pretty much the same - but now Illis has the better advantage.

Ruino jumps and takes a distance from Illis.

Ruino immediately sets up a knife, but his breathing is already disturbed. Until now, the attitude of spare time was as if it had changed.

Illis doesn't do anything like chase Ruino. That buys Ruino's wrath again.

"Ha, ha... why aren't you following me? It was a great opportunity."

"... I can't believe I'm going to shake you to win. Because I didn't think you'd be so upset."

"Upset? Hit, don't decide on your own. Me..." The Weak Side "? You laugh, don't you? I've never thought about weak people. Because weak people just have to be eliminated. On the battlefield, they die from weak people, don't they? So..."

When Ruino goes on to say so much, he gets a hazy look on his face and stops talking to the pitch.

I almost slipped my mouth, as if to stop.

"... so?

"... Hit me, that's crap"

Tong, Ruino kicks the ground.

Leaping vertically, he creates a wall of magic at his feet, one after the other going up into the air.

Eventually, when we reached a height of more than a dozen meters, Ruino flipped - just like earlier, sticking to his own created wall of magic.

Now in the direction of Illis. And put an unusual amount of magic into the blade.

"I'm upset when I talk to you... I'm done with you"

From an early age, Ruino Tomra liked to wave swords and swords.

Especially since grandfathers and parents are equally sword-wielding lineages, and Ruino also gets a single knife, enough to take care of it.

One day, she would become famous as a swordsman - even though she had a wish not to be such a girl, she was truly legitimate.

If anyone is in trouble, help. That was a girl named Ruino, who, while young, was able to take 'for others' for granted.

- Ruino has changed since his family was murdered.

My mother was the first to lose it.

Though I had feelings of sadness, my grandfather treated me gently and encouraged me. Even if I lose my mother, my sweet grandfather will support Ruino.

The fact that my grandfather, who was always supposed to welcome me with a smile, was bleeding and falling... I can still vividly recall. I lost my favorite grandfather, and so did my father, at that time. All Luino felt left was powerlessness.

(Why... Why, why, why...)

Ruino didn't despair, he just thought. How did this happen... both my grandfather and my parents were better users of swordsmanship than Ruino. There's a reason to lose. Losing is weaker.

Once, my grandfather said.

"On the battlefield, he dies from the man chosen as Reaper."

"Reaper?"

"Oh, no matter how much you want to live, if he finds you, it's over."

"Has your grandfather ever seen Reaper?

"Oh, there is. Me and Reaper were close! That's why I can still be with my lovely grandson."

- But my grandfather died. Is that what it means to be 'chosen as Reaper'?

He said it was "Reapers and Friends," and they still killed him.

Then what? The simple thing - you just have to be strong.

If you are chosen by Reaper to kill, even Reaper - no, gain the power to kill God.

Even if they are gods, it doesn't matter if they are demons.

Ruino wanted the power to slash and kill everything, and that's how he empowered him. Absolute strength that clamps down every strong man.

Ruino keeps killing the strong. Because that's what 'erases the existence of the reaper' for Ruino.

And I got it - no one can prevent 'this one sword'. That one wave of names,

"Body and mind -" God slaughter "!

It's like one blade. Ruino jumped towards Illis.

All this time, I wanted to be a 'righteous ally' like my father.

I thought I could be that one day, and my father, as a matter of course, thought it was something that would keep an eye on Iris.

With such a father - Garro - killed in front of him, Iris changed his mind.

If Garro is gone, someone must be on the side of justice.

Someone to replace me...... I'm the only one.

That's what I thought. Iris changed when I met Alta.

I had a clear goal: to fight to protect someone and go for the 'strongest knight'...

So often these days, I remember the old days.

Garro, who perfectly waves "Purple Electricity," showed me, one move.

"Wow, wow! How did you do the moves now!?

"This is it. It's a knitted move."

"My father?

"Oh. Does Illis... believe in God?

"God......?

"That's right. Speaking in the world of swords... the Sword Saint might come to that. I want to get that much strength too."

"A father's admirer?

After a little silence - Garro answers the question of Illis.

"In terms of swordsmanship, I guess I can say I admire it. But I'm like me... I'm gonna wave my sword to protect people. So I decided to borrow the name of a god for this move. The temper is rough, but gentler than anyone else...... it's God's name. A lot of people fear thunder, but with this sword I'm going to protect people."

To a young Illis, I cannot say that I understood all of Garro's words properly.

But only the word 'protect people' is clearly remembered and taken over by Iris.

Some moves I've only seen once - engraved in the Illis.

"- Thunder God."

Making a loud noise, Iris waved a blade that shined strongly against the purple.
