1548 War and Peace, Part 86 - Conference Day 2, Night ② -

Jake sanctified his sword with sorcery. Let's see it and Osiria shudders.

"Huh, are you going to take me down with such a tiny sword?

Without worrying about Osiria's mockery, Jake stood idly by. I feel that the effect of the deep meditative state gained in my training with Tiny is still persisting. There is also fatigue, so we are able to calmly analyze that the movement may be about 30% dull compared to the time of full force. As for the stamina, I imagined it would last until the end of the fight.

There are currently 13 opponents. I don't feel like entering something how powerful it would be, such as an evil spirit who would appear with an endless summons, but who can't hide his killings or signs.

Jake set up his sword and was slashed straight by Osiria. Jake's behavior only seemed bad for Osiria.

"Can't you see you're surrounded?

Osiria watches Jake rush in, shaking her left hand. One of Osiria's ways of attacking is to twist and bend space with mindful power. It is also possible to activate it by sight alone, but the more powerful it involves a major movement.

For every space around Jake, Osiria activated a mind-blowing force with the intention of gripping him. But out of that space, Jake escapes with minimal evasion. I'm not losing shape, I'm moving further forward.

"Coincidence?"

Osiria turned to Jake as a shield while generating evil spirits around her. Jake comes forward without falling back as he slashes them down, but Osiria tries to crush Jake with a series of mind-blowing motives, regardless of every evil spirit.

But Jake doesn't try to stop him from moving forward, slashing all the evil spirits under one sword. The more impossible it would have been if the attack had not been known in advance, Osiria showed a rush to Jake as he came at himself on the shortest path.

"What, you!?

Osiria steps hard on the ground. The ground deformed with mind-power, and Jake was supposed to be taken off his feet. If you can fly to get rid of it, squeeze it in the air. Stand back and attack the evil spirits in unison. If I had increased the speed and advanced, I would have raised the ground and poked it like a 'hahaha'.

But Jake stuck his sword on the ground and didn't activate the mindfulness power itself. Only the point of action at which the mindfulness was activated was stopped precisely with a sword. Osiria didn't even imagine how to stop it, and instead of jamming it by witchcraft, she simply slapped it with a sword. I didn't even know Osiria could do that with a sword.

Jake, glaring at Osiria, moves further forward. There are already no more than 10 steps away. A hasty Osiria emitted a few mind-blowing momentum, but Jake slashed two of them in the air, one at once packing a distance from Osiria as he made minimal moves to the point where some meat was shredded.

As Jake swung upward, Osiria accidentally raised her left arm and tried to take that sword.

"Hmm, is it something you can slash me with just a sanctified sword!

Osiria originally possesses the qualities of a high-ranking magician. Its qualities are harnessed when it becomes an evil spirit, and it has strong enough resistance to almost nullify it against witchcraft. The same is true of the magic of fire and light, which should also be a weakness for evil spirits.

The means of hurting Osiria therefore hardly exists in this world. It may be possible that a sanctity was originally granted to the sword itself, or a weapon specializing solely in killing the evil spirit itself, but such objects were disposed of or sealed around when Doom and Osiria collected the relics on Orangeable's orders.

So Osiria should have become an immortal evil spirit. I thought the only thing to be aware of at the moment was Dragreo's degree of brace. When Jake's sword was swung down, Osiria was right when she had a bad feeling and pulled herself off.

"My left hand...!

From Osiria's left wrist, the first fell into space and disappeared. Osiria, who was sure to have erased the sacrament, had been hurt by Jake's sword.

Jake's sword approaches Osiria, frightened by surprise, even more. noticed all the while Osiria reflexively pointed the mindfulness power at Jake, but at that moment Titania was cracking in there.

"Jake, are you okay?

"Tinny?"

Osiria and Jake distance themselves once to Titania, who intruded to block Osiria's attack. Osiria looked at Jake carelessly, but took Titania's sharp gaze and disappeared into darkness. Because I found out Titania told me to "back off". Now Titania didn't help Jake, she helped Osiria.

Jake, on the other hand, felt like he'd been tailored to Osiria in time now, but he couldn't even whirl at Tiny's act for joining him, and he sighed small. And Tinny was apologizing to Jake for seeming sorry.

"Sorry, would I have done something extra"

"No... that's okay. Because if you can get away with it, you've never crossed it. I just wondered why he showed up here now."

"It looked like a big evil spirit, but you know what?

Jake stared into Tiny's words, but on the contrary, Tiny seemed to be under barometric pressure. Because Jake's eyes were as if he were spotting all Titania's lies.

But when Jake finally turned away,

"No, because I thought you were the top guy on Arnelia's crusade list. I can't possibly defeat them alone, but apparently they've achieved results in training."

To Jake, who groaned so calmly, Titania rather became more terrified. There's no way I can overwhelm Osiria with all that training. Rather, the force that hurt Osiria is completely separate.

"(Jake, what the hell...)"

Titania thought she should know more about Jake, but the idea was not fulfilled by the knights who just made a noise. While Jake was also explaining the situation to them, Tiny's appearance had disappeared.
