This is the second update of the episode today.

It was too abrupt an appearance.

Soitsu came out in front of us as if weaving through the demon tribe.

The disgust that welled up the moment I saw it. Wriggling black armor, red eyebrows glimpsed through the gaps in the armor.

What is this feeling...... It's as if I'm forcing myself to be malicious—no, if I don't keep my composure, I'm going to attack this guy at any moment.

 

"Everybody's moving."

 

I instruct the soldiers who followed me and Kazuki-kun to do it. I also suppress the hostility and fighting spirit that wells up from the depths of my heart, but I speak out.

 

"Oooooo

 

！？ Kazuki-kun!

 

"Wait, Kazuki-kun!"

"Let him go, I need to kill him right now!" Kill, I must kill!"

"Calm down!"

 

He grabbed Kazuki by the shoulders and called him out, but the other soldiers and one of the squad leaders turned towards the Black Knight with hatred in their eyes.

Luckily, the soldiers behind me, who had heard my voice, were astonished by the actions of their comrades and their own captains.

 

"You guys can stop too!!"

 

No matter how hard you shout to stop them, they won't stop.

Even if the enemy kingdom soldiers approached, not only the black knight, but also the Demon King soldiers surrounding him, did not move. His calm, indifferent attitude exacerbates my anxiety.

I was stuck.

Not because of his inexplicable hatred of the Black Knight, but because of this inexplicable discomfort.

 

『.........』

"Die!"

 

One of the soldiers who came close to the Black Knight swung his heavy sword from top to bottom to cut the Black Knight in half.

The blow that is swung down inflicts a deep slash on the armor.

A blow that would normally have killed him, but the black knight still wriggles his eerie armor and doesn't move from the spot.

 

『.........』

"Daaaaa

 

The two soldiers, who had caught up with the first soldier, shouted angrily, and at the same time thrust the sharp spear in their hands at the black knight, stabbing him.

 

『.........』

"You're here!!"

 

And finally, as if to stab him, the commander of a company points the tip of his tall greatsword at the black knight, and runs at a speed that is unimaginable from his huge body.

Leading a company, his ability is real. No matter how much he has some kind of suggestion in his mind, his career and ability as a soldier in the Kingdom's army cannot be underestimated.

Like a heavy tank, his stab pierces the black knight's abdomen as if two spears were sucked into it.

Pushing the deep, pierced greatsword further, the squad leader glared at the black knight.

 

"I'm not sure what kind of magic you used...... If I had buried you before I used it—"

"Hmmm"

 

This is the first time a voice is uttered from the Black Knight.

The androgynous voice of a man or a woman, and the flat, lifeless tone of the voice make the listener's heart flutter.

 

"It's pointless, you think you killed me just like that...... it's boring...... Was the Third Legion overwhelmed by these guys, or was it going to be strong and strong?'

"What?"

"How long are you going to be there, you're in the way."

 

In an instant, the black armor is greatly distorted, and the armor that protects the chest changes into a thorn and attacks the unit leader.

 

「......！？」

"Captain!!"

 

He steps back and escapes.

His men, who had surrounded the Black Knight, let out a heartbreaking cry, but he stood up without incident, drew the sword at his waist, and gave orders to his subordinates.

 

"Don't let your guard down! I'm going to surround him and push him through!!"

"'Yes!'"

 

"Senpai!

"Oh, hey Kazuki-kun...... I can't help it! Come on!"

 

With a wave of my hand, Kazuki runs away to the commanders who surround the Black Knight.

...... It's good that I'm now expressing my opinion more than I did in the original world...... It's a little too rushing! Savage and courage are two different things, Kazuki-kun!

Kazuki follows him a little later with the soldiers behind him.

But in a way, it's an opportunity. He must be mortally wounded, and he can't be saved unless he has a healing wizard or is immortal.

 

"Ah, ah, I'm sorry, I'm tired, but already—"

 

Drawing out the greatsword and spear that had pierced him, the black knight snapped his wrists and muttered a few words to the squad leader and his subordinates who attacked from around him, as if he was no longer interested.

 

"Die, 'Inversion'"

 

At that moment, red blood splatters dance.

Suddenly, the squad leader and three of his subordinates fall to the ground like marionettes with blood pouring from their bodies and broken strings.

Why......... There was no pretense of attacking.

There is no indication that he attacked with magic.

In the blink of an eye, the four elite warriors sank into a sea of blood.

 

"Inugami, senpai...... What's that......?"

"I don't know, but don't go near ......."

 

Kazuki, who stopped in his tracks at the sight of the devastation caused by the Black Knight, asks me with a trembling arm.

I don't know, maybe he pulled out the sword at his waist and attacked the squad commanders with an unbelievable speed. Or did he use wind magic to unleash a vacuum blade like Kamaitachi, or was he shown an exquisite genjutsu...... But even an idiot knows that it's useless if you approach it carelessly.

But if you retreat here, the other soldiers will be the second dance of the unit commanders.

　

"Ah, it's boring, it's a little bit of a strong person, after all, it's just a human with hair...... It's boring, it's boring, it's boring."

 

"Looks like we're going to have to deal with this guy......

"It is...... I don't know."

 

"Huh? That's fine, but if it's too boring...... I'll kill you right away.'

 

The other party seems to be motivated.

In a way, it's a good thing, if you keep this guy's eyes glued to us, you won't look at the others.

I was careful not to take my eyes off the Black Knight, and I called out to the soldier behind me.

 

"Can you guys ask for the demons around him, you don't have to force them to defeat them, you can stop them in their tracks. Hold out until me and Kazuki-kun defeat him."

"Leave it to me, brave man, and I will definitely carry out that order."

"It's reliable......

 

This way, you can concentrate on fighting without worrying about attacks from behind.

Holding his sword, he stands next to Kazuki.

The opposing black knight is still standing on a stick. Is that a sign of confidence, or is it a stance for him to not be careful?

 

"I'll be the first to do it!"

"I don't know what's going to happen...... Don't let it take a direct hit! And right after Kazuki-kun unleashes his magic, you guys should head towards the demon tribes around you!!"

"Yes!"

 

Kazuki switches his sword to his left hand and points his palm at the Black Knight.

If my electric shock is a wide-area type, Kazuki-kun is not a technique that spreads the light magic that misfired at the start of the war over a wide area, but a magic power that has tremendous penetrating power that can be mistaken for a beam of light concentrated in the palm.

 

"No matter how fast you are, you can't avoid the light!

 

A sphere of light about the size of a marble generated in his palm is shot at the Black Knight.

If it is fired at the target, it is an inevitable blow, and it hits the shoulder of the black knight standing on a stick. The light penetrated through it, and smoke rose from a small gaping hole in his shoulder as if it were scorching the atmosphere.

 

"Hmmm、...... Interesting, isn't it? You're going to have to deal with Zako.'

 

From the looks of it, there is no sign of endurance. The Demon Tribe's weakness should have been light, but... What kind of magic are you using?

In addition, the armor wounds inflicted by the squad commanders are also gone.

 

"Kazuki-kun......"

"No, the light is not working."

 

"Hehehe, oh, light, light, light, that......'s what I hate the most.

 

The same words when the squad leader was defeated.

"Inverted"? What's the point of those words?

 

"Oh, yes...... Ahhh

 

Suddenly, Kazuki screams in agony and kneels on the ground with his left shoulder restrained.

 

"Kazuki-kun, what's wrong!?"

"Shoulders...... Burning pain in the shoulder...... Whew."

"Shoulder...... What's that?"

 

When I looked, I saw blood oozing from the gaps in the armor near the shoulders.

What did you do?! Did you throw something through the gaps in the armor!? No, I don't feel like I've been shot into a gap in my armor. This is--

 

"Directly ...... from the inside?"

"Senpai...... I'm fine."

 

Kazuki stands up while casting a healing spell on his shoulder.

Healing magic is not a first aid, a full-fledged treatment like stitching up a wound, but just disinfecting and applying a bandage.

If you take your time, it is possible to recover to a state that is as close to a complete cure as possible.

 

"Whew!!"

 

He parries and blocks the black blob that was wielded to slash me and Kazuki-kun with the belly of his slender sword. A black mass stretched out from the Black Knight's arm...... Is it possible to change the shape and attack...... It's troublesome even though the opponent's mysterious attack has not been revealed.

 

『......... It's a pity."

"What's the pity?"

"Whew, I don't know what it is."

 

It's creepy before it's nasty.

It's like you're fighting a monster that's out of this world.

 

 

Some of you may have figured out the abilities of the Black Knight.
