52-052-real appearance

"My name is Yukimaru. If you want to move on, you'll face me with a sword!

'Fighting with a sword... you mean you don't just want to fight, you want to duel with a sword alone?

"Mm, how nice.

Hmm, Elena's Holy Attribute skill is advantageous if it's against a ghost, but if the opponent is going to challenge her conditionally, it can't be helped.

Accepting Yukimaru's challenge, Uranus fluttered his hand with an expression of relief.

''If it's your choice, then I'll have no choice but to go.

Seeing Uranus stepping forward with that, Yukimaru smiles with satisfaction.

''Then let's see you, young swordsman.

The two swordsmen turned to face each other and Yukimaru's head snapped forward deeply before the fight was over.

'What's that?'

"It is a courtesy to show respect for those with first-rate swordsmanship in my homeland.

'Haha, good custom. I'm flattered to hear you call it top-notch.

Uranus bowed his head as deeply as Yukimar did, and then both raised their heads and pointed their sword slices at each other.

Tension hovers around the area and the air is silent.

''Let's go.........match!

Immediately after, Yukimaru unleashes a blow with a speed that is unimaginable for an old man in armor!

However, Uranus, perhaps anticipating this, flicked back with his sword and looked straight at the opponent in front of him without changing a single expression.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

........but Yukimaru dodges it with a flutter.

''We'll do it.''

Phew, this is just the beginning!

Then a close battle ensued, with neither side giving an inch, and the sound of steel clashing hard against steel reverberated throughout the wide floor.

Uranus's swordplay was superb, as he had been awarded by his opponent as a top-notch swordsman.

''Wow........''

I'm sure that the eyes of Satsuki and Jupiter, who are not used to fighting, must be able to see the "unseen hastening of the task" to the letter.

If I was strong enough to come to the Tower of the Gods with Kanemitsu and the others, I wouldn't have been able to even watch their movements calmly like this.

But that's why........I also understand that the current situation is not good.

''Kanata-san, this is........''

Yeah, it's not looking good.

Elena seemed to be the first to guess, but little by little Uranus began to be pressured.

Although their sword skills are 50-50 against each other, Yukimaru, a ghost, can continue to move almost unlimitedly as long as his spiritual power allows, whereas Uranus is a very ordinary human being.

Therefore, it was self-evident that the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Uranus.

While Elena and I are staring anxiously at him, when Uranus finally loses his stance....

Dragonslayer!

Ugh!

Uranus, who managed to catch the sword skill Yukimaru fired to avoid missing that opening, was blown away and rolled across the floor as it was.

It seems that he successfully defended himself, but it was clear that his body had already reached its limit due to the accumulated damage and exhaustion, which is clearer than seeing the fire.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

'Why doesn't Uranus use any skills?　If you're brave, I'm sure you have at least one anti-demon or anti-undead skill.''

Huh!

While everyone was tilting their heads at Jupiter's question, there was only one person who was staring at Uranus with a face that looked like he was about to cry.

''Because if you use the skill, Uranus-san will be known to us as 'not a brave person'.......''

Woohoo!

At the sight of Krull's frightened and trembling appearance, Elena smiled at her with a slightly troubled look on her face.

''It's okay. You can have Uranus-san give his "all" without worrying about us. If it's his true ability........'

Ugh.....

With an anxious look on her face, Krull's gaze was met by Uranus, who was staring at her with a slightly troubled face.

Then Krull bit down on his back teeth and shouted as if he had made up his mind to do something.

''Uranus, please.......win!

Hearing Krull's words, Uranus laughed happily, even though he had wounds all over his body, as if he were about to collapse.

"I have no intention of losing in the first place!

Mwah!

Uranus drew his right arm while pointing the tip of the ice sword's cutting edge downward and gripped the sword tightly at his side.

Then he focused all his nerves on both arms, and for the first time, he activated the skill in front of us.

''Critical boost, over-assist!

Along with the statement (word), a blue light is emitted from Uranus' ice sword.

Yukimaru, who was watching that, smiles with a kukuku, as if he understood Uranus' intentions.

''I see, that match.......I'll take it. Critical boost, over-assist.''

Yukimaru also muttered the exact same words, and a red light flickered out of the blade.

''Ka, Kanata ni-chan, that technique........?

The first skill they just used was to increase the power of the weapon.

The second is a skill that instantly increases its multiplier.

And both of these are skills that the brave cannot learn.

........There are various vocation (jobs) in this world.

A wizard can manipulate natural phenomena such as fire and water, and a shifu can use various skills for each job, such as breaking locks and stalling opponents.

However, among the many callings, there is one incredibly stoic calling that 'cannot be mastered at all except for sword skills'.

The name of that vocation is - a swordsman (Sword Knight)!

..........

Uranus and Yukimaru both kept their backs to each other.

A few moments later, Uranus opened his mouth.

''Apart from that, I don't think you had to take my game.

What? "It would be a shame to run away from the scene.

Immediately after Yukimar replied, his sword made a light crackling sound and the blade fell to the floor.

Yukimaru looked at the scene with a bit of sadness, and then gently placed his broken beloved sword on the floor before he sat cross-legged on the spot with a thud.

Then, while sitting down, he raised his right hand and a light shone in the center of the fifth level, revealing a crystal staircase.

''Young swordsman. Go ahead, there's something you guys want ahead.''

What's next, twenty years from now?

I don't know.

Yukimaru replied appropriately with a snorting laugh and then disappeared as a glittering light with a satisfied face.

''........Well, well, sorry for the wait, Krull. I've won properly.

Perhaps overcome with emotion, Krull hugged Uranus and began to ramble like a child.

While everyone was softened by the sight of the two, Satsuki noticed something and tilted her head in the air.

''....Huh?　If Uranus is a swordsman, are there no White Men of Valor in this country?"

'Uh....'

I turned my attention to Elena, but as expected, she looked a little troubled as well.

As we were both wondering what to do, Kururu, who had been crying until now, came in front of Satsuki, rubbing her eyes and bowing her head in a pecking order.

'I'm sorry I've been deceiving you until now.

?

I am Krull, the White Warrior.
