When Ray used search magic to spread flames all around him... he immediately responded.
　The reaction was about 20 meters behind me.
　Of course there was no Vicente or Seto there, and the old man's figure vanished the moment he touched the flames.
　Now that you've come to that point, it's not that hard to realize who's caught in your search flame.
　Desize to the immediate rear reaction.

"Fly off!"

　What was released with the words was a flying sword attack.
　...but the power of the slashing was clearly inferior to what Ray always used.

(Oh, this is also a sanctuary!)

　Suppressing his bitter feelings, he kicks the ground with his search magic in motion and heads towards the flying sword.
　I was a little worried about leaving Vicente alone who hated me to the point where even the expression "I hate myself..." wasn't enough, but I also felt safe if I left it to Seto.
　In fact, Ray saw Vicente and Seto on the verge of going behind him, and there he saw Seto struggling with the effects of the sanctuary, but at the same time even competing with Vicente.

"Magic Shield!"

　Even if you're an old man, you're a member of a stigma.
　It also has the troubling ability to manipulate very elaborate visions.
　As long as you don't know what other abilities you have, it's only natural to be prepared for a rainy day.
　As far as Ray knows, the Magic Shield, which can prevent any kind of powerful attack, was a very useful skill when he didn't know their hand.
　However, there is a problem with such useful skills.
　Being a shield of light, it stands out very much at night.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(As expected, he's slow!)

　Although it was travelling in the Emperor's red armour, the scenery that flowed around Ray was clearly slower than before the sanctuary was developed.
　Of course, for ordinary adventurers, it's definitely the speed at which they can follow the shadows of movement.
　But the difference was huge for the person in motion.
　It's the same for the old man who notices Ray coming straight toward him.

"Huh! I was surprised at his ability to find him, but... are you going to challenge him in that situation?"

　with a thud
　At the thought of a slight kick in the ground, the next moment the old man approaches Ray rather than escapes him.
　The stick in his hand is the same as ever.
　At first glance, it only looks like a stick used by an old man, but as long as it is used by someone who is a member of a stigma, it cannot be just a stick.
　As expected, the old man lifts his cane and turns the tip toward Ray.
　The tip of the cane is sharp and pointed, which is close to Estock in terms of a penetrating weapon.
　Furthermore, light gathers at the tip of the cane and shines faintly but white.
　It was only at night that I was able to notice the presence of white light, but if it was under the sun, I doubt if I'd noticed it.

(What do you do? If it's a mysterious ability like a sanctuary again... no, I don't mind.) As long as I leave it to Seto alone, I can't afford to spend time here. I'll kill you all at once!)

　It's not that I don't trust Seto.
　But if you've just entered this sanctuary, you'll find yourself embarrassed.
　If Vicente takes the opportunity, even Seto could be dangerous.
　With that in mind, Ray needed to get rid of the old man in front of him as soon as possible and head for Sett's auxiliaries.
　At the same time, there is a reason why they continue to use search magic to find out where old people are using phantoms.
　In this sanctuary, the use of the flaming emperor's red armor and even magic at the same time continues to exhaust magic beyond the reach of ordinary wizards.
　That's why Ray's magical powers continue to wear out at a rate that can be said to be square times faster than when he normally uses Emperor Flame's red armor or magic.
　You can't get rid of Emperor Flame's red armor to deal with Vicente, but if you knock down the old man in front of you, you can get rid of the magic. It was therefore necessary to knock him down as soon as possible.
　The elderly also have a desire to prolong the fight as much as possible, rather than try to settle the dispute with Ray immediately.
　It wasn't necessarily because he could beat Ray by himself, but because he wanted to wait for Vicente to come as auxiliaries if possible.

(Originally, it would be unbelievable to have a fight with stigma such as 儂 in this sanctuary... but it means that there is only another name for crimson.)

　It took less than three seconds for us to bump into each other.
　Still, we have that much time to think in our heads, and then Ray's death size and the old man's cane collide.

"Powerslash!"

　Ray was the first one to take the initiative.
　If you break the opponent, not cut him apart, the blow that is appropriate to describe is delivered to the old man.
　I understand that the appearance of the person I'm facing is that of an old man.
　But being called a stigma, he never seemed to be just an old man.
　Still, considering that he is about the same size as Ray, I don't think his pure physical abilities are the same as those of Vicente.
　Of course, as long as you are a member of a stigma, you can understand that there is something that stands out other than physical ability.
　Then, instead of using the projecting object, you can overcome it at once by the difference of physical ability.
　It was a powerslash with that in mind.

"Huh!"

　It's so powerful that I think I'm going to smash myself... but it's a fast.
　The look on the old man's face when he saw it was a smile.
　Ray had doubts about it, but now he's using his search magic to keep the flames alive, so he needs to knock down the old man in front of him as soon as possible.
　With that in mind, Death-Size turned straight to the old man...For some reason the old man accepted the attack without preventing it or avoiding it.
　His whereabouts should be known by the flames, but why? Ray asks that questionable Ray.
　Ray thought that he might have come to accept his end quietly because there was no way to escape, but he immediately denies the idea.
　No matter how friendly an old man is, he is a member of Stigma's... the Church of the Holy Light.
　That being the case, he said he would not accept his attack, which he called a great enemy.
　In fact, the blade of the powerslash that Ray had released had been cut without resistance the moment he touched the old man's body, and the old man who was supposed to have been there had disappeared.

"What!"

　As soon as he disappears, Ray realizes that he has been made to dance to the old man's vision again, but he reflexes back to the search flame.
　Yes. The old man was definitely right in front of me.
　It was for a moment that I was lost in the way that I was not a vision. Instinctively aware that magic does not betray him, Ray manipulates the Flame Emperor's red armor, whips it into a whip, and slaps it in front of him.

"Oh my gosh!

　The same place where the old man was screaming. ...but quite close to the ground.
　He creates a vision of himself standing up and waits for the chance to squat down and hit Ray.
　That may have been the intention, but in many ways Ray's presence was an unconventional thing for old people.
　It must have been completely unexpected to the old man that the red magic itself, which had been around Ray as the Red Armour of the Flame Emperor, would attack him, not to mention the attack of Ray's fist.
　Being attacked properly, the old man as big as Ray is blown away.
　The effect of the sanctuary has diminished the effect of the Emperor's red armor. Also, the old man, who was called a stigma, wore armor similar to Vicente's.
　Regardless of the indirect heat, the Emperor's red armor itself should not have been damaged.
　It tells of the screams of pain that came out of the old man's mouth as he was blown away.
　Originally, as a member of a stigma, old people could laugh at some pain.
　However, Ray's sudden blow from the flaming emperor's red armor exceeded the old man's limit.
　Ray's magical powers were compressed, and the Emperor's red armor, which was concentrated, was so powerful.

"Geez, no... I'm going to do it." I can't believe that it would be so much trouble for two people: 儂 and Vicente."

　The old man opens his mouth, but Ray ignores his words and slashes his death size again.
　It was obvious that their intention was to gain time.
　If you don't have time to deal with such behavior, you'll go straight to the distant old man.

"Fly off!"

　with a check‐and‐balance blow to keep someone from moving carelessly
　It was a skill that had been disabled many times by old people, but this time it was different.He squatted down like I did before and fired a vertical slash so as not to be avoided.
　If you move from side to side, Ray will be able to sense where you are by the flames spreading across the ground, but you can't avoid the direct approaching blowout even if you step back or move forward.
　If you move a little from where you are now, Ray will immediately detect it.
　There is only one way an old man can take to prevent Ray from finding his way.

"Up there!"

　With the words, Ray's speed increases toward where the old man was.
　What Ray heard faintly was a piercing sound.
　As soon as he touches it, the old man disappears as before.
　Still, Ray believes that the old man leaped and escaped the cut... the next moment the Magic Shield he was developing turns into a grain of light and disappears.
　It was easy to imagine why it had happened.
　a wind noise heard a moment ago The leaping old man must have made some sort of attack on Ray approaching him.
　However, it is a magic shield that can disable all attacks even once. A check‐and‐balance attack could not have helped.
　However, since it was a one-time absolute defense, it might have been a different story to attack twice or three times, but despite being in the sanctuary, Ray's approaching speed was so fast that there was no time left for the old man to attack again, partly because of the effect of Emperor Flame's red armor.

"Fly off!"

　a re-launched sword
　The flying sword flew straight into the air...

"Oops!"

　As soon as I hit a blank spot, a cry of anguish reverberates around me.
　Then, in the next moment, an old man appears blowing through the air as if he were oozing out.
　It is probably because of the armour that the body was not cut off even though he was hit with a flying.
　Made from light ore, the armor is highly defensive.
　...and yet he saw his armour crumpled up in his eyes to pursue the old man who was blowing away.
　The old man is not just waiting silently to see Ray thrusting his magic into death size.
　He manages to create visions, blinds himself and pierce Ray with the tip of his cane.
　That's what I was going to do... especially here, and Ray's running speed is even before.
　Catch up with the old man who blows away... No, approaching him like he's going to overtake him, and then he speeds up.
　The old man opened his eyes wide at such a speed that he could hardly imagine to be in the sanctuary...
　Cut it!
　With such a sound, Ray's magical death-size is shaken down by the physical abilities raised by the flaming emperor's red armor, and cuts the old man's body flying through the air.
　Coming in from the shoulder and coming out of the side, the blow easily kills the old man, scattering viscera, pieces of flesh, blood, bones, and so on to the ground, and rolling over 10 meters.
　After that, the temperature rose due to the activation of the Emperor Ray's Red Armour, and strong blood and visceral odors spread around him.
　But Ray ignores it and turns his eyes to Seto.
　There, Vicente was stopped for a moment by Seto's crystal brace.
　Seeing that the consciousness of the other side was completely directed towards Seto, Ray, wearing the red armour of the Flame Emperor, kicked the ground in one go, flashed the body of Vicente, once again stopped by the magic eye of shock, with a magical death-size flash, cutting off the body.
