Chapter 194 - Against Pessi

"Come on!!"

　While riding my Valkyrie, I ran towards Pessi, who was standing in front of me, and swung my weapon.

　In my hand, I hold the Nine-Tailed Sword.

　It's the magic sword once held by the old general of the Uruk army.

　The mana infused by [Mana Infusion] causes a sword of flame to appear on its blade, and it is now essentially just a mass of fire.

　Even if the opponent tries to intercept you with his sword, you would still be able to slice through his sword.

　It was a fearsome weapon that would burn the opponent's body with its flames.

"Dammit!"

　But Pessi was able to block the flaming sword.

　He used his left hand to guard against the flames that appeared from the sword.

　It was not impossible.

　In fact, I had predicted that this might be possible beforehand.

　However, when I actually saw it, I had to say that it was a terrific defense.

　The warrior titans of Atmos that I had fought before had also withstood the attacks of this sword.

　However, when I had a dispute with the neighboring territory's knight, Ruffin, I slashed at him with the flames of this nine-tailed sword, and he died instantly.

　I wondered if the amount of mana between us alone could make such a difference in defense.

　Or rather, Pessi is very similar to Vargas.

　He had concentrated his mana at his skin to improve his defense.

　I remembered that when I once fought Vargas, he didn't even falter when he was hit by a [Shotgun].

　Unlike Vargas, Pessi wears metal armor.

　If that guy is using magic in the same way to increase the defense of his entire metal armor, then his protection is not limited to magic.

　In other words, if I were to slash at it with a normal sword, there is a good chance that the armor won't get a single scratch.

"It's not just Ars you're dealing with!"

　I was thinking about that when I saw Pessi blocking my magic sword's attack.

　After my slash, Baito-nii immediately attacked with his own magic sword.

　The Thunder Sword.

　In addition, as in the case of the earlier raid on the enemy camp, my brother poured his mana directly into the sword instead of using [Mana Injection] to achieve that effect.

　The more mana poured into it, the stronger the effects of the Thunder Sword, it seems.

　A buzzing flash of lightning appeared on its blade, and it was directed at Pessi.

　In addition, Baito-nii's attack was not a lightning strike like the previous ones.

　He slashed at that Pessi as his sword was buzzing with lightning.

　It was now possible that the sword could directly deliver an electric shock to the body from the point of injury.

"You really have the [Thunder Sword] of Arbalest? I thought it was just a silly lie when I heard about it..."

"You have another Nine-tailed Sword. I'll take that from you, too!"

"No, you can't. On the contrary, I'll take it back from you."

　A strong attack from Baito-nii.

　I thought that would be enough to damage Pessi, but it didn't happen, because he blocked my brother's attack.

　But he didn't stop it with his hand as he had done with my attack earlier.

　The Nine-tailed Sword.

　Pessi also has that.

　The magic sword prevented Baito-nii's Thunder Sword attack.

　The lightning on Baito-nii's sword seemed to have already disappeared.

　It seems to have been blown away in the fierce fight.

　Pessi's sword might have enough mana to be able to repel the effects of the Thunder Sword.

"Baito-san, get away!"

　This time, Leon joined in.

　However, that doesn't mean he cut into the fight.

　Unlike my elder brother, Leon released an attack from his Thunder Sword from a distance.

　The thunderbolt struck the target directly just after Baito-nii had moved away after hearing Leon's voice.

　However, the direct hit didn't seem to do much damage either.

"Since you're wearing metal armor, aren't you vulnerable to electric shock attacks?"

"That's too bad, boy, but there's no way I'm wearing just any armor. Did you think that I don't have equipment suitable for the Head of a noble family?"

　So there is armor that can prevent you from getting damaged by magic spells or attacks?

　If there is such a thing, I want it, too.

　I mean, now that I think about it, the head of the Arbalest didn't wear any armor.

　I think he was only wearing something like a robe.

　Is it because he could use [Distant Thunder] from a distance and wasn't worried about close-range attacks?

　Maybe it was because I caught him off-guard, but I can't afford to think about it anymore, right now.

"Well, playtime's over, boys. It's time to show you the difference in rank. Especially you, Ars. You don't deserve that sword. I will show you how to use it as it should be used!"

"Oi......seriously?"

　Pessi who has prevented all of our attacks.

　He started getting into an offensive position.

　However, even though he must have the same type of sword as me, he is clearly trying to attack differently than I am.

　It was the [Black Flame].

　When I thought that Pessi had put mana into the Nine-tailed Sword, what appeared from the sword's body were pitch-black flames.

　What is this unfair thing where I can only use normal flames when activating my Nine-tailed Sword?!

　But this is not a situation where I can complain about that.

　[Black Flame] is too dangerous.

　If the attack of the sword that Pessi uses is the same as mine, I thought that I could use the same spell to defend myself as my opponent did.

　However, that is not the case with the [Black Flame].

　Those flames would not disappear until they burned the target to the ground.

　What would happen if I received even a single blow from that thing?

　The result is obvious.

"Burn!"

　Pessi carried out an attack that was impossible to prevent.

　It seems that he's not the type to just rely on his magic.

　I'm sure he's well trained in martial arts as well.

　He raised his sword straight up to the Heavens and swung it down in a fluid motion without any hesitation, slashing at me.

　This guy is strong.

　I have to admit that he is definitely stronger than any of us.

　As a nobleman in this world, he stands above the other knights.

　What should I do to beat him?

　Can I beat him using my mana?

　I can't.

　Pesci has more mana than I do.

　He's also better with a sword.

　So what else do I have?

　What do I have that he doesn't?

　Isn't there something that can surprise him?

　As I thought about this, the existence of spells came to my mind.

　It's what has kept me alive in this world, and it's my only weapon that has kept me from dying so far.

　But it's no good.

　My spells are based on earth and have no offensive power.

　I can't surpass Pessi just by building a wall.

　I thought about improvising a stone bullet, but that was also rejected instantly.

　　It's hard to believe that you can beat an opponent who can't be damaged by the Nine-tailed Sword or the Thunder Sword just by throwing a stone.

　My thinking is being sped up by the mana I am using to armor myself and the bits I've focused on my brain.

　I may be able to think of many ideas before Pessi's attack slices me in half.

　But I can't get a definitive right answer.

　Don't I have an option?

　Isn't there a way I can beat him ...?

　Just as I was thinking this, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye.

　The other weapon that I have on my hip.

　When I noticed its presence, I acted unconsciously.

"Sshi!"

　I released the Nine-tailed Sword I had in my right hand.

　I then grabbed the weapon at my waist with that same hand and grabbed its sheath with my left.

　In this way, I pulled the weapon as if it were sliding in its sheath, and used the momentum to not only draw the weapon but to attack.

　With a series of motions, I slashed at Pessi's Nine-tailed Sword, which is covered in the [Black Flame].

"....... You're an ...... idiot ....... You canceled the Black Flame!?"

"I'm sorry. I won."

　My attack was a head-on slash against a downward swing by Pessi.

　Pessi didn't defeat me, but I defeated him.

　His sword was knocked out of his grasp and was also cut on the side.

　The armor that had blocked the Thundering Swords' attacks also had a cut, and blood was pouring out of Pessi's body which was inside it.

　Even after seeing his condition, the man did not seem to be able to accept reality.

　However, there was no way I would miss such a crucial moment.

　With a further attack, I defeated Pessi.
