4 A mysterious dark knight appears (2/2)

The feeling of holding the sword is different from a shinai.

I have held a Japanese sword before, and it was similar to that.

That time it was a blade-pulling sword, but this is different, this sword will be able to cut people.

In the end, he couldn't refuse Modes' request.

I feel ashamed of myself for not being able to refuse a request clearly.

And I'm laughing at myself at the fake name of Dihardt.

Dehart. That's the name of an antagonist from an anime I've seen in the past.

He plays a clown who is needlessly proud and easily beaten by the hero.

It's a perfect name for me right now.

I took the name of the antagonist in that anime because I didn't want Shirone to know it was me.

The helmet, one of the dark knight's armor that Modes gave me, is the type that covers the entire head, so I can't see his face.

Therefore, it would not be recognized by Shirone as me.

The dark knight's helmet seems to have magic attached to it, so that even when he wears the helmet, his voice can reach you without a hint of magic.

And by having the magic changed a little bit, I was able to make my voice come out differently than usual.

As long as you are wearing this helmet, the other party will hear a voice different from your normal voice.

Also, the eyes of the helmet have red gems in them. The eyes are said to have an effect of preventing magic from interfering with vision.

And even with the red jewels, I can see normally, so magic is a great thing.

I look at them from underneath that helmet.

Chisetsu Suiouji, with her long, beautiful hair, is very attractive.

Yoshino Sahoko, Rage's childhood friend and a beautiful, healing girl.

Sasaki Rino, two years her junior, who is a model.

Todoroki Naomi, the ace of the track team and the wild child of the school.

And her own childhood friend, Akamine Hakune.

All of them are beautiful girls and cronies of Rage.

Shirone stands next to Rage.

I honestly didn't want to see her next to Rage.

So I tried not to look at her.

I didn't expect to see that today.

I look at Rage.

The armor is pure white with a gold pattern on it.

On his head is a golden circlet with a blue gemstone fitted in the center.

On his back, he wears a crimson cloak that looks expensive.

It's exactly the right outfit for a brave man of light called by the goddess.

To be honest, I think it's cool.

On the other hand, I'm a pawn of the Demon King. And I'm the only one without any friends.

I'm not sure what the difference is. To be honest, this makes me cry.

”Everyone stand back!

Rage lowers the girls back, as expected.

She says she's willing to go one-on-one.

When I confront her, I feel the pressure.

I regret it now.

Why didn't I say no more clearly?

This is killing each other.

I wasn't ready to die.

Fear threatens to overwhelm me.

I can only have the feeling that I will be miserably killed.

I'm a fool, I'm a great fool.

You should drop the sword and bow to your opponent.

But for some reason, you hold your sword at the ready.

Rage also draws his sword.

The sword's barrel glows. The sword your opponent holds must also be a magical sword.

'I'll end it with a single blow.

Rage laughs briskly. That smile is a sign of confidence that he will never lose.

This is the second time we've fought. I think Rage was laughing like this at that time as well.

A few seconds after confronting him.

''If you're not coming, then I'm coming over here!

Rage was the first to move.

Rage kicks the ground and closes the gap in one fell swoop. Its speed is much faster than Lanfeld.

However, that movement didn't look much different from that time.

Rage suddenly disappears when it comes to the front of me.

That movement was also predictable. It was the same as when I was defeated before.

He held his sword to the right.

The shock wave is transmitted to the sword barrel. I used the abrasion, hip rotation and wrist twist to parry away Rage's attack with my sword.

It looked like Rage was going to lose his stance as it was, but...

''Oops!

Normally, he would break his stance there. However, Rage does not resist the force, but instead rotates vertically to stand up and prepare himself.

It's like moving like a monkey. What kind of athletic nerve does it have?

As soon as Rage regained his stance, he came straight from the front to slash at you.

Instead of catching the sword as it is, I move sideways with my feet to keep my center of gravity intact, spinning and flicking the sword.

This sliding motion on the ground is something I've only recently learned after a long period of practice.

Rage is about to be thrown off his stance, but he turns sideways and regains his stance.

As it is, the swords are brought together again.

Each time he clasps his sword together, his mind goes even more blank.

The sound of sword fights resounds high.

''d*mn!

Then, for the umpteenth time, Rage attacked.

It was a messy blow that was delivered with a slightly impatient voice.

I'm going to be able to duck that attack just in time and swing my sword as is.

I'm going to be able to feel something slashing through my hand.

It's a sensation that time has stopped.

The sword I wielded was slicing through Rage's body diagonally from the right shoulder.

I couldn't cut the body in two, but it would still be a fatal wound.

Blood gushed from the wound.

''Eh, .......''

Rage looks at his chest and gives me a look of disbelief.

Then he slowly falls onto his back.

'Mr. Rage!

Mr. Ray!

'Rage-senpai!

Mr. Rage!

Mr. Rage!

Five screams go up.

The girls move.

I feel the kill and rush back.

At that moment, a mass of fire hits the spot where I was standing.

Before you know it, a huge flame giant is standing in front of you.

Beside it, Sasaki Rino is standing beside it.

''Go, King of Flames!''

She screams, and the flaming giant attacks.

Thinking it's bad, I put my left hand in front of me, not holding my sword.

''O black flame!''

Black flames come out of his own hands and prevent the flame giants from attacking him.

It was a magic I had just learned before this battle.

''Ray-kun!　Healing Wind, heal his wounds.

Sahoko Yoshino rushes to the side of the fallen Rage.

''Everyone!　Gather around Mr. Rage!

The girls gather at Rage's side at the panicked voice of Chiyuki Suiji.

''Transition (teleportation)!

With that call, the fire giant's attack stopped.

When I looked ahead, there was no one there.

''You've won: ......

I mutter, and my body shakes.

As it is, I kneel on the ground.
