Chapter 88.2 – Duel Again

Without a moment of hesitation, I slashed back with all my might.

The absolute confidence of the golden lion prince, who believes that nothing in this world can hinder his path to supremacy, is the source of power in a battle of imagination sword.

However, I, too, have always imagined it.

The more solid the imagination is, the more power the imagination sword has.

That is why it is very effective to shout out the name of the technique as if you are using magic.

However, what I’m about to do now is a surprise attack and I can’t let my voice leak out.

I remain silent and concentrate on my movements. I go through Freed’s first all-out blow and deflect it with a full-on swing with my sword of light.

Freed’s attacks are basically large swings so it’s not hard to evade them.

It is natural for him to let his guard down since he is being protected by the world’s hardest armor, an orichalcum armor. And then, I stabbed it at one point.

「Tremble before….what the heck!」

「Droplets…」

I cut through his violent slash and tackled Freed. I then pushed my left hand against the chest of Freed’s armor.

Only when I hug him that Freed will be defenseless.

I only have one chance to launch my surprise attack.

I am not so naïve to aim for the joints of his armor and the only way to take advantage of this situation is to stab him at zero distance with something that can penetrate an orichalcum.

I imagine dripping water that eventually shatters rocks.

Even if it is deflected by a thick orichalcum wall, the neutral sword can pierce a hole in it!

「Uwaaaa!?」

Freed, who felt severe pain in his chest, began to slash in a hurry.

A violent slash hits my back and shoulder.

Even though I’m wearing mithril armor, I felt a shuddering shock but I won’t let him go.

I will kill you before I die!

「Die here, Freed.」

「Guoooooooo!」

My neutral sword finally pierced Freed’s chest.

At that moment, my left arm that should be holding Freed was suddenly freed.

Freed’s body, which had flown backward, is being held by an S&M mage oneesan in a black cloak.

The court mage “Time-Space Gate” Jenny Walpurgis’ instantaneous movement magic!

「Oi, wait!」

She kept casting instantaneous movement magic so I won’t be able to catch her no matter how fast I run.

Perhaps I have killed Freed but there’s no way for me to confirm it now.

Originally, we were going to end this futile battle by showing that I had defeated Freed in front of his entire army.

Unfortunately, the plan is not perfect.

Just as I was regretting it, a shock hit me.

It was Brynie, who had been standing there like a toy whose batteries had run out. He slashed me with his twin black sword.

I received a decent heavy blow to the torso.

Somehow, I managed to deflect the next slash with my sword of light but I was shocked by something else.

「Brynie is this strong….?」

I can’t believe it.

However, since it is a strong enemy, I have no choice but to defeat it here in order to avoid any disaster.

With all my might, I wield the sword of light and neutral sword to defeat Brynie, who is now in a frenzied state.

Brynie was able to take all my slashes.

Ridiculous, is this guy really that count?

It’s strange that he doesn’t even say a word even though he is Brynie.

No, no, he’s saying something.

He’s no longer alive so he’s not even breathing but he’s muttering something as he opens his mouth.

I listened carefully to what Brynie was muttering.

「…..oja oja oja oja oja」

Scary!

I even had goosebumps. It is similar to when I met the furukisha.

Brynie’s brains would be far from rotting away after his head was used as a soccer ball.

Sewn and connected together with his corps, Brynie was implanted with two demon king’s cores and was completely swallowed by chaos.

He is not even considered as an undead but a mysterious beast of chaos.

「Damn, what kind of monster have you made for us, Freed! 」

「ooouuu, oja oja oja oja oja…..」

Raising another strange voice, Brynie continued to slash me with his twin black sword. What a heavy slash. I’m already struggling parrying them.

In addition, he doesn’t even move like a human.

His arms and legs were twitching in a strange way. His sword reach is long so if I use a normal sword technique, I’ll be whittled down.

「So this is the super demon king Brynie」

「ooouuu, oja oja oja oja oja oja oja」

Strong but can’t even understand human language!

I couldn’t even do my usual attack routine of getting my opponent to talk and then, take advantage of any opportunity.

While I was thinking of that, Brynie, the super demon king, was making irregular slashes that were difficult to read. They are not even attacks that regular creatures can make.

Brynie’s rotten and swollen hands are wrinkled and although he seemed to be full of openings, I can’t even find the opportunity to attack.

「Takeru, that thing is really dangerous, you’d better run for your life!」

Oracle repeatedly released shockwaves but Brynie, the super demon king, didn’t even seem to feel them. It is comparable to a mosquito bite.

He just stood there as his body shook, catching all the shockwaves.

Damn it, why am I fighting against this mysterious beast when I’m supposed to be having my decisive battle with Freed?

It's still acceptable though since it’s an enemy that’s trying to kill us with all its might.

Brynie’s attack had no killing intent, not even a clear intention. His sewn-together face is expressionless and we can’t even tell what he’s thinking.

And yet, none of our attacks work while his random swing has the power of a demon king.

「Damn it! Alright, we’re pulling out, Oracle!」

「Yeah, let’s get out of here, Takeru.」

「oja oja oja oja oja oja oja……..」

Oracle-chan carried me and we retreated through the air.

I heard a soldier’s scream from behind me so I turned my gaze there to see the super demon king Brynie swinging his twin black sword while plunging straight into the center of the imperial army which was supposed to be his ally.

There is nothing more terrifying than bottomless madness.
