Chapter 182: Final Single Strike

— Reus ※Left-Wing Unit —

I requested everybody to earn time and once I let loose the mana that I concentrated a lot that I believed I’d explode, my physique was getting sizzling as if it burned. The mana was raging in my physique, and I held it down because it appeared to go outdoors my physique at any second. I seen that the enemy, Hilgan, was approaching in entrance of my eyes. Nevertheless, I wasn’t in a rush. To be trustworthy, it was onerous to stroll, so I used to be grateful that he got here.

As I believed so, for some purpose, Hilgan started to defend by lining up his swords like a wall, however regardless I swung it down whereas focusing my mana and intention into the sword. I used to be imagining a sword that reached the restrict. And… the determine of Strongest Sword Lior swinging down his sword.

“Nurryaaa!” (Reus)

The sword that was swung down with the shout that got here out naturally, was slicing deeply to the bottom. Despite the fact that Hilgan’s swords, which weren’t broken even after we attacked it many instances, I couldn’t really feel any resistance once I reduce them all the way down to the bottom. I may solely assume that I used to be slicing the air. It was a sense that I wasn’t swinging something, however that wasn’t it. Since this was the thriller of the ‘Single Strike Final Destruction Sword Type’… no, this method that was launched was what I referred to as the true thriller.

“Heh… hehe… what’s that… was it a fluke-… aah?” (Hilgan)

In the meanwhile when Hilgan, who laughed like a idiot, tried to chill out his defensive posture, not simply his swords have been sliced, however his physique was additionally sliced into two. He had a startle expression when his physique collapsed to the left and proper, however I instantly took a step ahead whereas swinging the sword.

“Reus!? What are you doing-…” (Albert)

“Phew…” (Reus)

I knew it. This man wasn’t useless but. If this man was Lambda’s companion, it wouldn’t be unusual for him to have a number of nuclei just like the guts, just like the pretend Lambda that Julia fought on the frontline base. The disagreeable feeling I felt from the middle of his physique was reduce with my present approach. After that, the physique on the left aspect, fell to the left and proper… It was the chest. Aiming at one level, I swung my fist with the remaining mana.

“Silverion… Fang!” (Reus)

This manner of preventing was the identical as once I fought Aniki on the Preventing Pageant previously. Aniki at the moment flew backwards similtaneously the fist hit, had halved the facility of [Silver Fang], the decisive transfer of Garve-jiichan, however this time was totally different. This was as a result of as a substitute of Jii-chan’s technique of hitting his fist and capturing by means of with an influence, I improvised it to the strategy of [Silverion Fang] that prolonged the mana unleashed from my fist like a spear and penetrated one level. This was a way that I created for the monster that destroyed Nee-chan and my hometown. It was for a monster that was troublesome to be hit successfully by a sword, just like Hilgan.

The magical spear that Aniki stated was just like [Laser] pierced a giant gap in Hilgan’s left chest, after which, the 2 our bodies… Hilgan collapsed to the bottom.

“Oh, ooh… I did it… I did it!” (Reus)

“Reus-dono had defeated Hilgan!” (?)

“Report back to all models! Ship a messenger to the middle unit!” (Albert)

Everybody round me was proud of cheers, however since somebody was speeding to Julia and Keith, I supposed it must be secure in the intervening time. Keith appeared to be faint, however I met Julia, who was nonetheless aware, so I smiled to precise my gratitude. Due to the 2, I used to be in a position to kill him.

“Reus, you probably did it!” (Albert)

“Yeah. Due to everybody.” (Reus)

Al, who had misplaced his horse, walked nearer. Then, we fist bumped one another. I didn’t know what was occurring round me whereas I used to be concentrating, however Al was surprisingly muddy and his sword had modified, so he most likely did plenty of work. I needed to thank him later. Once I tried to ask him what occurred, Al requested me a query earlier than I may.

“That final transfer was actually nice. It was utterly like Strongest Sword. Is that additionally the ‘Single Strike Final Destruction Sword Type’ approach?” (Albert)

“Sure, however I’m wondering if I can say it’s not.” (Reus)

The day earlier than this battle started, I talked with Lior-jiichan.

[Say, Jii-chan. The [Break Thrust] that you simply confirmed earlier than, I can use it too.] (Reus)

[What a youngster. Don’t be arrogant when you can use such a child’s play technique. Do you get it!?] (Lior)

[If you say that, are you telling me it’s not a secret technique?] (Reus)

[Hmpph, it’s certainly convenient when slashing a big one, but that isn’t the sword I’m aiming for. So, I’ve made another secret technique.] (Lior)

[Another secret technique!? What is…] (Reus)

[Well. I can’t explain it by mouth, so I would like to show it, but Emilia told me not to get tired anymore today. So, wait for the next opportunity.] (Lior)

Ultimately, he hadn’t proven the brand new secret approach, however I someway may predict it from Jii-chan’s swords. To start with, Jii-chan’s sword wasn’t for slashing huge dimension opponents, however for preventing sturdy opponents. And the particular person Jii-chan needed to slice essentially the most… I meant the opponent he needed to win was Aniki, so he most likely thought that it was ineffective to make use of his mana to increase his blade. Due to this fact, placing the mana and spirit that was wasted into the physique in addition to the sword, and utilizing the sword that swung with the physique that exceeded the restrict.

Anyhow, I believed that was the brand new approach that Jii-chan stated, so I attempted it in my very own manner.

“Hmm, it’s a extra profound model than what I’ve heard. By the way in which, you have been shining some time in the past. It appears to vanish now…” (Albert)

“What’s that? I used to be shining?” (Reus)

“Sure. It was shortly earlier than you swung your sword down. There was a silver gentle spilling out of your entire physique. Is that your mana?” (Albert)

“What? I simply exploded the mana I had amassed, you already know?” (Reus)

The mana amassed to the restrict over time ran wild everywhere in the physique and it was painful, however throughout that point, I felt that the facility was stronger than once I was reworking. Yeah, I didn’t know what to assume, so ought to I ask Aniki later? Once I tried to complete the story with that in thoughts… my tail immediately turned the other way up. On the identical time, the loud voice of the troopers who have been coping with surrounding monsters echoed to these of us who have been resting.

“R-report! Hil-Hilgan has begun to maneuver! He’s nonetheless alive!” (?)

“What!? Hasn’t he been reduce into two?” (Reus)

“Settle down! Julia-sama, depart it to us right here! We are going to end him unexpectedly!” (?)

It appeared that the nucleus was nonetheless left in the best aspect of the physique. He was shifting with just one arm and one leg, shifting it to the left aspect of the physique, and beginning to regenerate. Nevertheless, the troopers began capturing magic arrows and flames directly. I used to be questioning in the event that they have been attacking with out hesitation as a result of we weren’t there. They have been making ready to shoot similtaneously the explosion cleared. This preparation was achieved on the stage of going through giant monsters akin to Gigatient. Nevertheless, Hilgan moved sooner than them.

Once I thought that he had leaped out of the explosion on all fours like a monster, he started to eat not solely the fallen troopers there, but in addition the monster corpses. Throughout that point, assaults with spears and magic continued, however Hilgan’s meal couldn’t be stopped. When Al and the unit leaders gave directions to take distance in order to not be attacked. Hilgan lastly stood up and turned to me.

“Huh… haah, that was harmful.” (Hilgan)

“Despite the fact that you have been saying one thing about us reluctantly, you have been a minimum of that.” (Reus)

“I’m advantageous. You bastard… It seems such as you’re doing one thing that we aren’t conscious of. Don’t you assume I’m not offended?” (Hilgan)

The suitable aspect of the physique the place he was laughing and spouting nonsense was a spot the place I didn’t really feel something earlier than I reduce him, however now, it felt unusual. Al, who analyzed varied issues, muttering one thing like was it a mechanism that activated when he died? Anyhow, since he had recovered, I needed to struggle once more. As I received up, I held my companion that I pulled out of the bottom. Al, who was holding his sword subsequent to me, checked out me in a shocked method.

“Reus!? That sword… no what occurred to your arm?” (Albert)

“Aah, I overdid it. However I can nonetheless struggle.” (Reus)

The greatsword, which was my companion who had stored preventing with me, was damaged from the center of the blade. I didn’t miss caring for it, but it surely had been a protracted relationship. I believed I’d use it for my entire life, but when it was this sense, the sword won’t have been in a position to stand up to the approach that I simply launched.

Moreover, it was most likely as a result of the mana used to strengthen the physique that became [Silverion Fang], it had put a substantial burden on the left arm that unleashed the approach. I couldn’t maintain the sword properly as a result of the trembling didn’t cease. With the left arm that didn’t transfer satisfactorily with the damaged sword, the state of affairs would solely worsen, but it surely didn’t imply that I couldn’t struggle.

“Hehehe, with that sword, you may’t use that approach once more. Are you continue to going to do it?” (Hilgan)

“Identical goes for you. All your weapons, that are stated to be more durable than us, have been reduce.” (Reus)

“It doesn’t matter this a lot. These weapons aren’t associated to why I’m referred to as Heavenly Sword.” (Hilgan)

After ending his meals, Hilgan held six swords with half the blades like me. In different phrases, it appeared that swords had modified to brief hammers. If that occurred, this man was utterly a…

“I believed this from the start. You’re not a swordsman or something. That’s why you shouldn’t name your self Heavenly Sword.” (Reus)

“Shut up! I’m Heavenly Sword! You’re only a small fry that’s helpful with a damaged sword!” (Hilgan)

“Even when the sword breaks, if you happen to haven’t damaged my spirit, I gained’t lose!” (Reus)

I didn’t assume that my spirit would lose simply. In any case, I had been dropping to Aniki and Jii-chan. Plus, I wasn’t the one one whose spirit wavered.

“Phew… Reus is true. I additionally… can nonetheless struggle.” (Julia)

“Sorry, I fell asleep for some time. The weapon is ruined however I nonetheless have one thing given by Father.” (Keith)

“Whereas I’m weak, I can nonetheless struggle too. It’s solely somewhat bit, however I’m simply beginning to learn his motion.” (Albert)

“““We are going to assist you too!””” (?)

Julia and Keith, who managed to rise up after receiving restoration magic, have been additionally standing subsequent to me with full motivation. As well as, not solely Al, but in addition each one of many imperial guards have been the identical. They have been observing Hilgan from behind us. To be actual, we have been so tattered that we didn’t look sturdy. Nevertheless, as I declared to him, I hadn’t misplaced but. I solely had to surrender after I died.

I additionally knew the placement of the nucleus, which was the weak point of that bastard, so we may all work collectively to struggle!

“Annoying! For those who’re doing this along with the small fries, get on with it!” (Hilgan)

“You’re most likely in the identical situation as us.” (Reus)

“Shut up. That is the man’s command! However yeah, I gained’t hesitate if you happen to’ve gone this far. In any case, it doesn’t matter what you do, the struggle is gained by the final particular person standing!” (Hilgan)

“Then, I gained’t hesitate to swing my sword.” (?)

“Haa!?” (Hilgan)

Immediately, I heard the voice of somebody who shouldn’t be right here. On the identical time, a number of monsters within the path of the right-wing unit have been blown away, and one shadow leaped excessive and approached Hilgan from the sky. Whereas shocked by the intruder, Hilgan tried to knock down the opponent together with his weapon, however all assaults together with his six weapons have been brilliantly averted. Even when he counterattacked, certainly one of his arms was reduce with double swords.

“…Eh? I used to be going to chop it down.” (?)

“This cheeky bastard!” (Hilgan)

It was Beowulf, who ought to have been preventing with Nee-chan and Jii-chan on the right-wing unit aspect. He landed in entrance of us after avoiding the offended Hilgan, who attacked once more. He was wonderful now. Due to Jii-chan coaching, he averted the assault so superbly although he was within the air… no, it was totally different.

“Why are you right here? What occurred to Nee-chan on the best wing?” (Reus)

“It’s going to take a very long time to elucidate, so I’ll do this later. By the way in which, is that Hilgan?” (Beowulf)

“Hmm? Aah, sure, that’s him.” (Reus)

“I see…” (Beowulf)

It was true that I used to be frightened about Nee-chan, however I didn’t assume it was a horrible state of affairs from the looks of Beowulf. Due to this fact, I ought to consider Hilgan now. Nevertheless, although it was the primary time he met that bastard, why did he trouble checking the enemy’s title?

“Oi. What are you as much as? I hate when a small bug is available in! For those who assume you will get away after doing that, you bought it improper.” (Hilgan)

“Sorry to make you offended, however I can’t struggle you anymore, so simply hand over.” (Beowulf)

“Do you assume you may actually run away after saying one thing I don’t care about? Do you assume I’ll allow you to go simply!?” (Hilgan)

“No, no. There’s somebody who actually desires to struggle you…” (Beowulf)

“Oraaa-!” (Lior)

When Beowulf talked till now, a horrible roar and the sound of destruction echoed from the identical path as him. Greater than 100 monsters have been blown away as they grew to become shredded, and Beowulf confirmed the existence that appeared from past the mud and rubble. Then, he checked out Hilgan with a pitiful look.

“My mistake. He’s not somebody who desires to struggle you. He truly desires to slice you actually unhealthy…” (Beowulf)

“Teen! Is that the idiot!?” (Lior)

“Sure, this particular person right here is Hilgan.” (Beowulf)

It wasn’t essential to guess who was coming right here. With a whole lot of adventurers and mercenaries in tow, Lior-Jiichan appeared majestically with an odd, scary smile directed at Hilgan.

—

“Hear, you children! Don’t contact my prey!” (Lior)

“““Sure!””” (?)

Have been these adventurers and mercenaries extra obedient than earlier than the battle started? Furthermore, they confirmed the momentum and assault that didn’t lose to Julia’s imperial guards, they usually cooperated with the left-wing troopers to defeat monsters one after one other. The formation and morale of the troopers disturbed by Hilgan was returning.

“So, we bumped into Luca, however she was a bit bizarre…” (Beowulf)

Due to them, we have been in a position to deal with the state of affairs. I listened to the state of affairs of the ring-wing unit from Beowulf whereas having the imperial guards healed with restoration magic. It appeared there was a fierce battle over there, however Julia and Al have been fairly upset after they heard the matter of leaving Nee-chan for the struggle state of affairs.

“What!? Emilia-dono is… the sister-in-law is alone!?” (Julia)

“Kuh… Reus, are we heading there straight away? Maybe, if Strongest Sword is right here, one thing must be achieved there.” (Albert)

“…If they are saying Nee-chan is okay, you don’t have to fret.” (Reus)

We have been speaking about Nee-chan borrowing energy from Reese-ane and Fia-ane, so I didn’t assume that Nee-chan would struggle in a manner that she couldn’t win. That was as a result of we had been hammered into the truth that we have been going to outlive by Aniki. Or moderately, if Nee-chan was defeated by Luca, wouldn’t we be in a really pathetic state of affairs? Though it took us 4 folks to struggle Hilgan, we have been counting on Jii-chan ultimately. So, once I informed everybody that I didn’t fear a lot about Nee-chan and that she was spoiled by Jii-chan, Julia and Keith opened their eyes as in the event that they have been awake.

“That’s… certainly true. Didn’t we simply say we haven’t been defeated but?” (Julia)

“Yeah. I haven’t returned the debt as a result of I used to be crushed severely by that man.” (Keith)

“I can perceive that feeling. However the query is whether or not that particular person may be stopped or not.” (Julia)

“As for me, everybody’s accidents wouldn’t enhance anymore…” (Albert)

By the way in which, the rationale why we may have a calming dialog on this manner was as a result of Hilgan had hardened on a regular basis as he noticed Jii-chan. As an alternative of being afraid, Hilgan started to like as if he had lastly discovered a cherished one. He started to smile after they have been a number of steps away from one another.

“Hu, huhehe… I heard about you from Lambda, you already know? You’re that Strongest Sword, proper?” (Hilgan)

“Hmmph…” (Lior)

“Are you not going to speak? Nicely, it’s advantageous. Then, let’s simply kill one another!” (Hilgan)

Hilgan swung his six swords whereas approaching Jii-chan who didn’t reply. Jii-chan merely swung his sword to intercept him. After that, a roar that was a lot louder than our time echoed. Its influence was sufficient to generate a shock wave and injury each enemies and allies. Evaluating the facility of these two who have been like monsters, the one who received pushed and blown away was…

“Oraa!” (Hilgan)

“Ugh!?” (Lior)

To my shock, it was Jii-chan. Within the battle, the physique of Jii-chan, who virtually didn’t take his foot off the bottom, floated barely, and he was thrown towards us, however he stepped on whereas breaking the bottom with each ft and stopped in entrance of us.

“Hah, uhahaha! As anticipated! I’m… stronger than Strongest Sword!” (Hilgan)

“Strongest Sword-dono!? I may even assist you!” (Julia)

“Jii-san, I’m going to assist too!” (Keith)

Everybody was astonished on the state of affairs the place Strongest Sword received pushed, and as Julia and Keith started to make a fuss, I felt one thing unusual. I used to be actually shocked that Jii-chan was blown away, however wasn’t there one thing unusual? I believe he was quieter than regular. He didn’t severely swing his sword as if he was involved about one thing else.

Whereas fascinated about such a factor and his huge again, Jii-chan turned again solely together with his face and opened his mouth. He was trying on the damaged sword I held.

“That sword… it couldn’t maintain up?” (Lior)

“Y-yeah. It’s a sword that has helped me on a regular basis. I really feel actually unhealthy about it.” (Reus)

“Hmm. What an inexperienced man.” (Lior)

“Please cease saying that! Absolutely, he’s nonetheless a good distance off in comparison with you, however his sword is an excellent sword that has saved many individuals!” (Julia)

“Nicely. What I imply in regards to the inexperienced man is the outdated man who hit that sword! He couldn’t count on the expansion of the teen and hit a good-for-nothing sword.” (Lior)

No… eh? Why was he me with such calm eyes? I believed it was unavoidable to be scolded since I used to be inexperienced. Apart from, the sword couldn’t stand my approach…

“Did you see the approach?” (Reus)

“I didn’t. However I can perceive with out seeing it. You’ve gotten unleashed a blow that shook my soul.” (Lior)

Though he shouldn’t be capable of see by means of the monsters that surrounded him like a wall, Jii-chan appeared to note that approach. Al and Keith have been shocked, however solely Julia and Beowulf nodded, most likely as a result of they have been satisfied. As I used to be confused by an unthinkable angle, Jii-chan, who turned his face again to the entrance, continued to speak over his again whereas holding his sword.

“This time, I’ll present mine. You keep there quietly.” (Lior)

“H-how can I keep quiet on this state of affairs! Don’t faux to be powerful whenever you lose simply now.” (Reus)

“You’re noisy. I informed you I’ll present you if I get the possibility. So, watch mine and get stronger… Reus.” (Lior)

“It could’t be…” (Reus)

Eh… simply now… my title? Jii-chan solely referred to as up the particular person’s title when he admitted it… may or not it’s? What? Despite the fact that Jii-chan was a stepping stone to get nearer to Aniki… although he was an opponent I needed to defeat… what…

“Sh-shut up! If I have a look at you, it must be advantageous to be subsequent to it.” (Reus)

“Hey. It’s a trouble whenever you’re in the way in which. Don’t you get it? Or I’ll kill you first, alright!” (Lior)

It was irritating, however in spite of everything, it was the standard Jii-chan. I felt that I couldn’t cease him anymore, so I made a decision to look at over Jii-chan’s battle quietly. Everybody appeared to have given up as they understood the state of affairs in our alternate, so we quietly noticed him off. At the moment, it was Hilgan, who was completely satisfied to win by power and was laughing for a very long time, however lastly, he stopped laughing when Jii-chan got here nearer to him once more.

“I can win… I can win now! I’ll kill Strongest Sword and I would be the strongest swordsman on the earth!” (Hilgan)

I wasn’t very involved in it, however he might need longed for the title of the strongest. Once I was in Elysion’s faculty, I knew a person who felt the restrict of his power and was determined. He grew to become a mercenary and have become in a position to do unhealthy issues in an easy method.

Hilgan had the same feeling to that mercenary. He most likely met Lambda when he gave up and gained power. If Aniki was there, he would have declared the tip of a person who deserted himself when he sought power. Someway, I may hear a pitiful man scream, however Jii-chan simply held his sword as regular.

“What a tedious speak. Why don’t you come instantly?” (Lior)

“Hehe… I’m the one who will win!” (Hilgan.

And once more, their swords collided with one another, they usually have been pushed by power. Nevertheless, Jii-chan was additionally severe this time. Their energy was equal, and the swords have been clashing and sparks have been scattered.

“Ooooo—!” (Lior)

“Oaah!” (Hilgan)

On the identical time when he returned his swords, Hilgan attacked Jii-chan whereas freely shifting his six swords in an try to assault him. Nevertheless, because the blow grew to become lighter, Jii-chan additionally grew to become in a position to transfer his sword quick. He took all six swords from the entrance.

The frontal placing between the sword grasp and the one who deserted humanity for power continued for some time, but it surely was too intense to take his eyes off and it was too late to note it. A slender snake-like monster crawling on the bottom moved and was entangled with certainly one of Jii-chan’s arms. Maybe, it was secretly approaching from behind Hilgan.

“Hmm!?” (Lior)

“Uhahaha!” (Hilgan)

The snake monster appeared to have come off with the momentum of Jii-chan shifting his arm, however the slight discomfort grew to become a deadly hole between masters, and Hilgan’s weapon hit Jii-chan’s shoulder instantly. That manner of laughing… he positively did it! Quickly after we shouted in anger, Jii-chan, who had misplaced his posture to the aspect with a blow on his shoulder, managed to cease, however Hilgan was swinging down the 5 remaining swords with out lacking that hole.

“I simply have to win-…” (Hilgan)

“Hnghh!” (Lior)

Nevertheless, even in such a state, the sword that Jii-chan swung forcibly didn’t solely repel the 5 swords but in addition Hilgan. How silly was he to realize victory with such an underhanded scheme?

Hilgan appeared to be shocked in addition to us, who leaked even a dry laughter, however he was smiling as if he remembered that he had a blow to the shoulder instantly. Due to the sturdy physique, from a distance, Jii-chan didn’t appear to have damaged bones simply by bruising. Nevertheless, the impact on the sword could be huge. Not like that bastard, the harm didn’t heal instantly, so Jii-chan was in a state of progressively being cornered, however immediately Jii-chan muttered.

“I’ll cease.” (Lior)

“Haa?” (Hilgan)

““““What?”””” (Reus/Julia/Keith/Albert)

Not solely Hilgan, we additionally let loose a shocked voice, however Jii-chan sighed in a boring manner.

“It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a position to meet somebody who can struggle me, so I went out a bit, however… I’m bored with you already.” (Lior)

“Wh… what!?” (Hilgan)

“Hear. I wish to struggle a powerful swordsman or a warrior. I’ve met numerous monsters such as you, so I’ll get bored with it quickly.” (Lior)

“Monsters!? If my Heavenly Sword can be utilized like a monster, I-…” (Hilgan)

“Are you speaking about your stage? From my viewpoint, it seems like a hungry monster brandishing a toy with the facility of a borrowed object. To start with, you aren’t price to be referred to as a swordsman with that stage of ability!” (Lior)

“Ugh…” (Hilgan)

Hilgan appeared to be so offended that he couldn’t say a good reply to the phrases that have been too simple by an individual who was clearly succesful and well-known. May Jii-chan provoke him to create a gap… that wasn’t true, wasn’t it? He wasn’t the form of outdated man who hid what he needed to say. Additionally, I believed that stopping means ending this battle. As I used to be contemplating what to do, Beowulf, who was subsequent to me, seen one thing and raised his voice.

“Aah, he’s going to complete him. That’s as a result of he’s going to make use of that.” (Beowulf)

“Are you speaking in regards to the secret approach that I’ve heard earlier than?” (Reus)

“Sure. The title of the approach is [Flash]. I believe he solely used it a few times.” (Beowulf)

Once I was enthusiastic about what that secret approach was, Jii-chan took the identical stance as regular… He took the higher stance together with his sword raised excessive within the sky. It was as regular as much as that time, however the environment immediately modified. I felt that Jii-chan was a lot bigger than Hilgan.

“Is that… the identical as Reus’?” (Julia)

“What a spirit. There’s no manner I can cease this trembling.” (Keith)

Not like me at the moment, it appeared that gentle and mana weren’t popping out from Jii-chan’s physique, however the surrounding monsters have been beginning to retreat as a consequence of worry.

“This… outdated man!” (Hilgan)

However, Hilgan even twisted his intuition and approached Jii-chan, maybe as a result of he had utterly misplaced his composure as a consequence of anger, or as a result of he had turn into used to it. In the meanwhile he entered the attain of Jii-chan’s sword… certainly one of Hilgan’s left arms flew within the air.

“It’s a failure.” (Lior)

So quick!? To us, it solely seemed like Jii-chan’s hand was shaken. Nevertheless, why didn’t he reduce his physique in half like I did? Furthermore, he was muttering one thing that appeared to be a failure. Did he lose his thoughts when the enemy was that shut?

“Ooh… how a lot will he exceed my expectations? That’s wonderful!” (Julia)

“That Jii-san… didn’t his shoulder get hit with that weapon? What sort of physique does he have?” (Keith)

Nevertheless, essentially the most shocking one was that Jii-chan, who completed waving his sword, had returned to his authentic place once I seen.

I believe that such a factor was pure, but when he tried to unleash that approach that might be stated to be the final word approach, not solely the sword, but in addition the physique could be burdened drastically. That was why I additionally strengthened my physique to the extent that it was about to burst with mana, and it was exhausting that I may solely swing it down as soon as. Even so, the truth that Jii-chan was holding the sword meant he may nonetheless launch this method. It appeared that I used to be proper. After the arm, he was slashing the fingers of one other hand.

Hilgan didn’t cease his cost on the time he misplaced one arm, however he most likely calmed down on the velocity of assault that was far past expectations. He stopped instantly and was attempting to realize a long way, however…

“Aargh!?” (Hilgan)

“The place are you going?” (Lior)

He slashed Hilgan’s ankle as he tried to kick the bottom and sealed his motion. Even when Hilgan was a bit away with the momentum of falling down, Jii-chan may slide on the bottom if it was that a lot. His legs weren’t floating in any respect, however he was quick, so it didn’t look to be a clumsy motion by trying from the aspect. And after ready for Hilgan to lift his face, Jii-chan slashed him additional. Whereas intentionally avoiding the nucleus of his flank, which Jii-chan would have already seen.

“R-Reus. It’s about time… isn’t it?” (Julia)

“I wonder if he’ll cease.” (Reus)

To be trustworthy… we have been retreating a bit. Once I noticed Jii-chan who progressively reduce off Hilgan’s physique from finger to arm, from foot to thigh, as if torture, I didn’t know which aspect was the enemy anymore.

“Cease it. It’s completely not possible this time. Didn’t he say it?” (Reus)

“Aah…” (Julia)

[I see… I see. Let’s cut that fool, not only from the arms and legs, but also from the fingers.] (Lior)

Jii-chan stated it… When he heard that Hilgan was aiming for Nee-chan, he actually did say so. Uh-uhm, was he actually going to try this? Didn’t he mutter that ‘mistake’ as a result of he slashed Hilgan’s arm as a substitute of his finger?

“I don’t assume we are able to do something anymore.” (Reus)

“Sure. It’s essential to surrender.” (Julia)

In reality, Hilgan didn’t actually contact Nee-san, however for Jii-chan, it appeared that he couldn’t forgive that man for her with soiled eyes. I wasn’t positive if Jii-chan’s rampage would cease both on a small or huge scale. We may solely watch.

After that, Jii-chan’s one-sided assault continued, however after all, Hilgan was additionally attempting to withstand. He was attempting to choose up his slashed arm and stick it to him, or forcibly hooked up it to Jii-chan with the willpower to be reduce, however the resistance was all in useless in entrance of Jii-chan’s sword. Ultimately, his legs and 6 arms have been all reduce, and Hilgan stated in resignation.

“Cease it-…” (HIlgan)

“Oraaa-!” (Lior)

The nucleus of the flank was reduce, and he couldn’t say the phrase till the tip, so he was silent. Though there was nonetheless one other nucleus and he tried to regenerate, Jii-chan, who didn’t cease the momentum, was slicing Hilgan’s physique extra finely, so he wouldn’t be capable of regenerate anymore.

“Somebody, incinerate that piece of flesh. Attempt to not method as a lot as attainable.” (Julia)

“Sure!” (?)

Julia gave directions simply in case, and Hilgan, which grew to become a lump of flesh, was utterly burned by hearth magic. It was a painful battle, however this time… it was over. For some purpose, I believed Jii-chan took all of the scrumptious offers, however I believed it was advantageous since we have been in a position to defeat Hilgan, which was a precedence objective. By the disappearance of Hilgan, the encompassing monsters’ motion had modified. The troopers may maintain them down, so we may relaxation somewhat calmly.

“We’ve… gained.” (Julia)

“Yeah. Sorry for being inexperienced, however now, let’s say that I’m completely satisfied that Hilgan is defeated. This struggle isn’t a private struggle.” (Reus)

“As anticipated, however I believe it’s overkill ultimately.” (Julia)

“Don’t fear about it. I don’t know properly, however that man had achieved one thing fairly horrible, proper? He simply obtained his punishment.” (Keith)

Keith was proper, there was no have to really feel sorry for him. Though he grew to become that manner due to Lambda’s modification, there could be extra victims if he was alive as he rampaged. I rearranged my emotions, and whereas we have been resting, we checked our armor and weapons. Nevertheless, the damage and tear have been greater than anticipated.

“My sword is damaged, but it surely seems like it may possibly nonetheless be used. How about you?” (Reus)

“My sword is okay, however I don’t assume my physique listens to what I say. However I believe I can nonetheless struggle on horseback.” (Julia)

“My weapon is ineffective already. It’s too gentle to be appropriate. I’ve to repair it for some time.” (Keith)

“I’ve confirmed. The injury to the whole unit is nice as a result of turbulent battle, however the morale stays excessive, I believe we are able to nonetheless struggle because of the truth that we’ve got joined with the unit introduced by Strongest Sword.” (Albert)

Weapons and stamina weren’t appropriate, however nobody stated that they might retreat and obtain replenishment. The explanation was that even after Jii-chan defeated Hilgan, his pleasure didn’t quiet down. He continued to slash the monsters round him with the identical momentum. Beowulf had joined him, and to be trustworthy, they have been annihilating monsters so rapidly that we didn’t get the flip. In that case, it may be advantageous for the injured and us to retreat, however so long as we calmly overlook the battlefield, we didn’t appear to have time to relaxation.

I didn’t discover this as a result of I used to be concentrating on Hilgan till now, however one thing that wasn’t there earlier than the battle started was born deep inside the middle of the enemy camp.

“There was Lambda’s interference on the way in which, but it surely additionally stopped midway.” (Reus)

“In different phrases, is that the rationale?” (Keith)

There was a tree greater than a mountain sized Gigatient that might be seen from wherever on the battlefield. It wasn’t solely the dimensions that was unusual, however numerous tentacles have been rising from the tree. And the tentacles have been shifting round as in the event that they have been preventing one thing. There was little question that it was the creation of Lambda because it was a plant. Since Jii-chan was right here, there was just one one who may struggle towards such a giant opponent.

“Aniki is preventing it!” (Reus)

We’d not be capable of do something since we have been exhausted, however that was why we weren’t in a position to simply have a look at it from a distance. Everybody appeared to really feel the identical. We took a break and rode on a horse introduced by the troopers, however Al, who seen a sure drawback, stopped us from strolling.

“Wait a minute. What about Strongest Sword?” (Albert)

“Isn’t it advantageous to go away him alone? Jii-chan isn’t about to cease at any time quickly.” (Beowulf)

“That may’t be proper. The facility of Strongest Sword is totally needed. I want you would someway information him towards that path, however…” (Keith)

In keeping with Beowulf, who had the longest relationship with him, he was proud of my progress, and he couldn’t relax. I used to be a bit embarrassed, however I used to be completely satisfied if it was actually so. Nevertheless, Julia appeared to be in hassle as a result of there was a chance that Jii-chan could be left behind, but it surely appeared that subject could be resolved quickly.

“Reus! Everybody! Are you alright?” (Emilia)

It was as a result of there was a determine of smiling Nee-chan within the unit that immediately appeared whereas squeezing by means of the monsters. She appeared to have been in a fierce battle over there and seemed fairly drained, however she had efficiently defeated Luca.

“Ooh!? Are you alright? If Emilia-dono got here, Strongest Sword would cool down additionally.” (Albert)

“Furthermore, you got here with the right-wing unit. If we’ve got all this, it must be adequate!” (?)

Now Luca and Hilgan had been defeated, Lambda was the one precedence enemy. It appeared that the central unit with Fia-san was additionally advancing easily, so we had just one vacation spot.

“Alright! Everybody, we’re going towards Aniki!” (Reus)

“““““Ooh!”””” (?)

I inadvertently gave a command, however everybody responded as if it was impartial. When many screams overlapped and morale rose to the best stage, I grabbed the rein and rode a horse.

Additional/Bonus – Secret Strategy of Single Strike (That is principally writer’s observe)

[Flash] / (剛破一閃)

It’s a secret approach devised by Strongest Sword Lior to beat Sirius, who has a excessive evasion means. He swings down his sword as regular, however he’s doing it on the velocity of sunshine that negates all of the protection of the goal and the resistance when slashing.

Lior raised his physique to the restrict with mana, so it may be used many instances by swinging the sword till the mana is exhausted. Nevertheless, he not often makes use of it as a result of it makes him drained, and the battle turns into uninteresting. Really, this method is extra like a buff than a way. In a game-like expression, when activated, the participant will take a number of turns… It’s just like [Triple All Abilities], [Ignore Defense] and [Quadruple Attack Power].

Some folks might not be capable of perceive it, but when a comparability is made… it’s a feeling of an individual can swing down with an higher posture that lets a dragon flies within the sky, which is utilized by a wandering swordsman character in a weekly journal. (Observe: Is it Zoro from One Piece? I cease studying Shonen Soar for years.)

Is it obscure?

Nicely, if the story is crazier, it will be a way that cuts dimension and area.

[Silver Fang Strike] (銀牙一刀)

That is the approach utilized by Reus. The title hasn’t been utilized in the primary story but, however it will likely be used within the later story. Spoiler? Nicely… Undecided if I’ll write it once more. I could neglect it, so I’ll publish it in the intervening time. It’s virtually the identical as [Flash] approach, however because it’s a way developed by Reus together with his personal prowess and he was impressed by Lior’s lifestyle, the title will probably be totally different. Though Reus hasn’t been taught about [Flash] till the tip, he has someway reached the identical ability because the sword grasp.

When utilizing this method, he will probably be in a state of being uncovered and unprotected for some time to be able to focus his mana. Nevertheless, additionally it is exhausting so the restrict is one swing at his present stage. At first look, it appears to be backward suitable with [Flash], however Reus remains to be rising and since he’s specifically educated by Reus, the approach nonetheless has room for progress. There’s additionally a facet that he can’t regulate the place he places an excessive amount of effort in a single swing, so this method is best by way of one-shot assault. Each strategies are on the excessive stage by way of slashing… In different phrases, they’re overkill strategies, so it doesn’t make sense.

Reus’ physique is shining in a silvery gentle as a result of the mana in his physique couldn’t be utterly stopped, and it leaked. Lior doesn’t glow as a result of he retains the mana inside his physique utterly. By the way in which, Reus is stronger on this state in comparison with when he transforms.

I believe some folks might not perceive the outline, but it surely’s just like Tremendous Saiyan 4. It’s a sense of… the facility of transformation is concentrated within the human physique. (Observe: I solely learn the unique Dragon Ball, so I’m undecided in regards to the GT arc.)

※Quick Story

Strongest Sword is lastly admitting Reus. Though the standard manner of coping with him is overwhelmingly totally different, he’s an outdated man admired by each Emilia and Reus.

Nevertheless, this time, Lior exhibits a aspect of slicing enemies like bullying a weakling. Anyhow, he isn’t a person of justice, so it’s advantageous. Nicely, Hilgan is somebody unrelated. Thus, it gained’t be unusual to punish him moderately. However I believe I ought to write extra about Hilgan.

And Hilgan, who has a tough time with Lior, is defeated simply when preventing the outdated man. Since Lior is the primary focus, it provides a bonus feeling. Lior nonetheless stands out, however someway, he’s such a personality… yeah.
