655 Episode 0655



Being blown through the air like a pebble again, Ray recalls what he saw.
 What did the noise with the sword in hand do?
 I could also predict that I was probably the only one in the arena who could confirm it.
 Yes, noise didn't use any extraordinary magic like transition magic. I've only moved normally.
 The only difference was that the speed of movement was unnoticeable.
 And even though they have just moved, the stage, where noise had been standing before, has not been broken at all, and it is clearly because of some kind of material.
 Re-launching Slapnil's shoes in the air, he lands on the stage re-establishing himself.
 I feel a dull pain in my right side for a moment, but it doesn't mean it's worse than before.

"Oh, did you respond?"

 As soon as she resizes herself and confronts the noise, she hears such a voice.
 The face of the noise that is looking at me is an unmistakable color of admiration.
 It would be unusual for noise to show little change in facial expression.
 Ray claps his tongue at the noise.

"Well, you hit me dead and I'm not even hurt. What kind of body do you have?"

 Yes. I don't know what the means are, but Ray saw the noise moving at a speed that could be mistaken for instantaneous movement.
 I could not avoid the fist completely, as I had only caught it with my eyes.
 But even if it's impossible to avoid an attack, it's possible to pull back.
 And the death size has the ability to give little weight to Ray and Set.
 In other words, it was possible to prevent noise attacks using the death-size handle as a shield.
 Still... it was unexpected for Ray that the noise didn't show any particular pain, even though he hit the death-size, which weighed more than 100 kg under the spell.

(I thought I could do some damage.) Rank S, monster)

 That's how you think, but there's no despair in Ray's face.
 Surely, as far as the way noise travels, it won't change that I'm overwhelmingly disadvantaged. But it's a disadvantage, not despair.
 If it were a metastatic type, I probably couldn't do anything about it, but if it's just a high-speed method of transportation, I've just proved that I can cope with it.

(If I were to respond perfectly, I would have to learn how to travel at that high speed myself...)

 Shake your head quickly, even if you think inside.
 If we can do the same thing, it will naturally accommodate noise movements. But it's like the noise in Rank S. It's impossible to do it right now.

(Then now I'm just responding to that move. Then there's a way to deal with it.)

 Open your mouth with force in your hand holding the death-size handle.

"Magic Shield".

 Along with the words, skill is invoked to form a shield made of light on Ray's side.
 a once‐in‐a‐lifetime With this shield, even a barely visible noise partner can manage it.
 I guess Ray still underestimated the existence of Rank S.
 The next step is to deal with noise movements. Just when I think about it, the noise kicks the ground with a hazy movement.
 Watching that moment, Ray immediately tried to shake his death size while defending himself with the Magic Shield...and the noise was closing in on Ray at a very warm speed.
 Ray's arm moves by a few mm or centimeters, and the noise trails by a few meters.
 Nevertheless, Ray's body, made of Zepyle, is barely able to capture the noise with the sharpness of his five senses, which can be expressed even outside the outside world.
 However, the spectators and those who participated in the competition could not detect any noise, and even those who were in the guest room as guards of the Imperial family could only see a slight shadow.
 Nevertheless, it was a stroke of luck that he succeeded in drawing Desize to hand and thrusting out a stonemate.
 Ray's intention is to prevent noise attacks with a magic shield, where he pokes his body with a death-size thrust. That's what I meant, but...
 With the crackling sound of the magic shield, the projecting death size was played, and a second shock occurred.

"Slap!"

 But what's different is that they didn't blow you to the edge of the stage, and they blew you a short distance of about 3 meters.
 be close to noise When Ray decides so, he shouts, ignoring the pain in his right side.

"Fly off!"

 It's not to knock down the noise. Just a check to keep them away.
 Flying slashes fired with such a feeling certainly succeed in blocking the pursuit of noise.
 As long as they mistook death-size skills for magic, it might not be windy in the wind, but they swung the blade of a magical sword like a small typhoon, cutting off the attack.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"

 Ray uses a flying sword to keep his distance and to catch his breath when he realizes that the noise doesn't hit him for the time being.
 I feel a dull pain when I touch my right side with my dull pain.

(I'm lucky you haven't broken your bones yet.)

 He muttered painfully, but if he had been attacked in the same place as before, his ribs would probably have been broken.
 Though almost reflexively, it's only because of a slight loss in the batting average that's left them in pain.
 While slightly frowning at the pain in his side, Ray thinks again, holding himself to death.

(What happened? No, that's clear.) He destroyed the Magic Shield with a magic sword in his right hand, and at the same time launched additional attacks with his left hand. I remember seeing it before, so I should have expected it. Did you concentrate too much on that high-speed journey

 The fast movement of noise, which can be called transition, is very eye-catching. And when they are wary of high-speed travel, they fire a series of attacks like the one I mentioned earlier.
 That's probably the usual way of making noise.
 However, that's only if you have someone like Ray who can handle high-speed travel to some extent.

"But I have to do it..."

 When I mutter to that extent, the noise shakes again.
 Just like before, the noise approaches Ray with the time it takes to be stretched like a candy.
 Ray can't help but be impatient when he sees the noise approaching normally at a rate as if he were outside this slow flow of time, even as he moves his death-sized hand around to defend himself.
 Before the start of the game, I was going to use magic to deal with it, but as before, the magic of fire blows up a large amount of fire and smoke around me, which makes my vision worse.
 Furthermore, as if to take advantage of the opportunity, they avoid it by moving at high speed and come in between themselves and shake their fists.

(Wait. Fist?)

 My mind spins like crazy while I pull my death size to hand.
 The noise was already within five meters of the ray when the question I suddenly felt in a few seconds of comma was about to take shape.
 I've already got the death size back to me, partly because I've been wary of it in advance. Judging that this would not be a direct hit by the attack, I suddenly realized that there was something I could do from the current situation.
 Normally, it is a skill that is almost useless in battle, and can be invoked even from the current state.

"Terrain manipulation!"

 The word invokes skill.
 However, the Lv of topographical manipulation is only one after all. The effect is simply to raise or lower a radius of 10m up or down 10cm around you.
 But...what happens if you create a 10cm difference under the feet of the person who is moving at such a speed that you can only think of as transitioning to normal human beings?

"What!"

 The result was the noise of being caught on the road and flying through the air at its speed.

"Oh, my God!'

 Opportunity. When Ray decides so, he forces himself to rotate his death size with just his wrist movement, leaving a stone butt against the ground.
 The movement, which was possible only with Ray's strength, caused the stonemate to bounce up from bottom to top.A metallic jingle echoes around and the noise flies as if it were passing by Ray.
 He spins half a turn on the spot and turns to the noise that flies behind him.

(Metal sound?)

 In the middle of the action, we question the sound we hear a moment ago, but we understand what it was the moment we see a magical sword thrusting into the stage to kill the force of the noise.

"Do you use your magic sword as a shield in that instant?" -- a monster.'

 It was supposed to be a life‐or‐death blow.
 It's only unexpected for Ray that he couldn't do a lot of damage, even if he didn't do it with this blow, because he couldn't have done the same kind of thing over and over again.
 But the noise, dubbed a monster by Ray, opens his mouth with a smile as he pulls out a magical sword that sticks into the stage.

"It's not just your skill to use weapons as a shield. It's a very common technique. though, in the case of Ray's case, thanks to his scythe, he has a high defenses, even with the techniques he has in store."

 The name Ray, not you, came out of the mouth of the noise.
 I guess that means he acknowledged Ray's presence.
 Understanding it, Ray is not happy, but rather bitterly clapping his tongue.
 I recognized myself. I imagined that it meant that I would not act like I had done before.

"After all, Ray was just what I thought he was." Unlike other people I've been dealing with, it's enough to fill my boredom."
"...if you're that bored, you could deal with a high-ranking monster. There's a rank S dragon, right?

 Having a conversation with the other person, showing a gap and creating a gap, is something that has been done many times.
 But Ray feels as tired as he has ever experienced in a battle.
 The lack of expression may be due purely to Ray's extensive combat experience.

(As far as I'm concerned, I think it was when I first met Grimm.)

 Mumbling, the image of Rich, who knows Ray's mind, goes by.
 His face, however, was naturally bone, given that he was rich.
 Still, the act takes hold of Ray's body.
 I didn't realize it at all, but I guess I was more or less nervous about the fact that I was confronted by the presence of noise... and that I saw with my own eyes what I could call supernatural abilities.

"Then next time... I'll go this way!"

 Even if you stick to it, it just extends the time before you lose. When I judged that, I tried to move forward at once. . . .

"I won't,"

 With the words, noise moves back to high speed.
 While the noise quickly approaches him in a sticky time, Ray moves to thrust a death-size stonemate onto the stage, hoping that it will be ineffective but slightly hampering his opponent's movements.
 Slowly... very slowly moving his death size, while noise approaches him with normal movement, as if it had nothing to do with it.
 Still, before the noise came in completely, the stonemate pierced the stage...

"Terrain manipulation!"

 the same skill again
 Still, it's not exactly the same as before.
 I excited a part of the stage where there was noise a while ago.
 If you're lucky, it could blow you out of the ring and win. It must be true that such an aim was faint.
 I didn't think the noise would be defeated by such simple hands, and I wish I could be a little wary when I was using high speed travel.
 What Ray used this time is to lower the stage rather than raise it.
 It would be better than the exact same method, if only slightly different. It was an act of judgment, but it is not possible to fall for the trick of a small hand over and over again, and noise is easily avoided by removing the part with the ray mechanism from the traveling direction while moving at high speed.
 And another shock.
 But Ray, who has been attacked many times and is beginning to get used to the noise, succeeds in using his death-size handle as a shield just before his fist hits him.
 It's Ray's potential to respond to noise movements that, after seeing them many times, would have only disappeared in normal humans.
 Ray is convinced when he receives his fist in death size, receiving it underneath the handle and blowing it through the air instead of being knocked to the ground as before.

(Of course. Why attack with your fist, not with a magic sword?)

 Such noise behavior may be the key to the reversal. Thinking this way, Ray lands on the stage in midair and turns to noise.
