The sound of a sword attacking a sword, and the sound of defending resounded.

The two Magic Swords clashed, and one of them was repelled.

After the offense and defense, the master of the sword that was repelled took some distance together with a tongue click.

「……Kuh! What is up with you. Your sword technique is weird!?」

Ykslaas shouted in irritation.

From the point of view of Ykslaas who was the one attacking, Gordy’s sword technique was extremely strange.

In terms of speed, Ykslaas was definitely winning. Her sword that was driven in with a speed that it couldn’t be visually seen, normally, it shouldn’t be defended against.

But what about now. No matter how she slashed from any angle, Gordy would soundly react to it.

Moreover, she didn’t simply react to it. She would ward it off, and repel her.

Despite that, there was no follow up attack from Gordy, and she persistently stuck to defense and did not separate from Vermudol.

Being told that it was strange, Gordy displayed a difficult expression.

「My sword is a sword of protection. It is troubling for it to be called something like that though.」

Hearing that, Ykslaas clicked her tongue.

That wasn’t the problem. Why was Gordy able to react to the current Ykslaas?

For the current Ykslaas, she had her trump card, the Unique Magic──「Reinforcement Magic」 casted on herself.

Since her originally high Majin abilities were strengthened, there shouldn’t be anyone able to stop her.

In actuality, Gordy probably wasn’t seeing Ykslaas’s movements. Yet, why was she able to react to them?

That is what was irritating Ykslaas.

She then thought “……However”.

To begin with, Ykslaas’s objective wasn’t Gordy. Since it was certain that she couldn’t see her movements, she just had to break through even if she had to do it by force.

Thinking that she should be able to do that, Ykslaas ran.

Filling the distance, she slashed at Gordy just like that from a low position.

Aiming for the instant Gordy would try to react, Ykslaas forcibly stopped her sword’s movements and jumped.

Jumping past Gordy just like that, she landed right in front of Vermudol──that’s how it should have been.

「Kuah!?」

The moment she tried to jump past Gordy, Ykslaas had her foot grabbed, and was tossed away.

「……Fumu. I will not let you pass. More importantly, I would recommend that you quickly give up.」

「Kuh……!」

Facing Ykslaas who had quickly recovered her stance, Gordy readied her sword.

Seeing that situation, Vermudol expressed a smile of satisfaction.

As a matter of fact, there was proper trick to Gordy’s super reaction time.

If any sort of movement was made, a fluctuation in the atmosphere would be made just from that. The brilliance of the sword and the shadow that was casted, the sound──Everything would would leave behind all sorts of information just by existing there.

Gordy sensed that with her extraordinary senses.

How fast or sharp they tried to move didn’t matter. It was because everything was already seen through by Gordy from that initial action.

By putting this together with Gordy’s protective sword technique, she was able to put up an iron wall defense.

In order to make it so that Gordy couldn’t see through her, she would have to falsify the sound and wind, the light, and the shadows.

Then again, there was also the weakness that Gordy’s super senses could only be displayed when she was devoted to defense though.

However, that didn’t matter right now. It would be Gordy’s victory if she continued defending.

The more time that passed, the more Ykslaas would be at a disadvantage.

Naturally, Ykslaas also understood that, and that is why she continued searching for a method to break through past Gordy.

She would be able to forcibly break through if she used magic that had a large amount of power, but as expected, she couldn’t invoke that at this distance.

Even if she was able to invoke it, it was very likely that Vermudol would defend against it.

In other words, in order for Ykslaas to outmanoeuvre Gordy, she would require a conclusive hand to play.

「What’s wrong, have you given up?」

「What a funny joke.」

Having nothing left to lose, Ykslaas tried to invoke magic──however, at that moment, an impact assailed the Demon King Castle.

The floor and the ceiling started to crumble, and rubble came falling.

「Wha……!」
