The Strong Sword is supposed to cover your entire body evenly with magic.
　Magic power flows throughout your body through the magical cycle, but it's just like waves.

　Magic power increases and decreases with the slightest movement.

　Maximum and minimum repeat.

　Mr. Lloyd said the best way to acquire it is to get used to it.
　So I tried and tried again and again.
　Eventually, I still haven't gotten it, but I know I'm on to something.

　But to get it now, you can't count on getting used to it.
　You can only have a limited number of tries.
　No, maybe one is all you'll get.

　There's got to be some kind of movement that's necessary.


　But I don't think we have time to think about that.

"Guaaaah!

　The manticore screamed.
　It moved even faster, scurrying in all directions.
　The demon's instincts are laid bare.
　Their attacks are not rational and therefore unpredictable.

...... I guess I'll just have to boost my "body strength" output...

　In addition to the always-activated Demonizing, using the Physical Enhancement will greatly increase your physical abilities.
　The rate of growth of this "body strengthening" depends on how much magic it consumes.
　It is not very fuel-efficient, but the only way to counter the Manticore is to use up its magical energy.

　You don't have much time left to fight properly.
　I'll give you three minutes to get it right: .......

Revel Watch Out!

　I heard Anna's shout, and as soon as I heard her shout, I reacted to the poisoned needle that was coming from behind me.

"......ck!

　It's a non-lethal wound, but blood is flowing from his left arm.
　The wound is hot.
　The wound is hot. You can tell that his venom is considerable.

　Potions exist to counteract the Manticore's venom.
　But I'm not going to be prepared for this situation, which I wasn't, and I'll have to wait until after we get back to the Fleaparra.

　If the poison goes down in my body, I will die.
　My left arm is not moving satisfactorily.
　That means the poison has already taken effect.

　All we can do is to activate the flow of magic to strengthen our immunity to the poison.
　That's the only first-aid measure.


　I've activated the magic flowing through my body.

　Then I realized.


　...... That's a constant flow of magic only at the wound.


　It ebbs and flows at an average of maximum and minimum.


　That's what I was looking for.

　The flow of magic I wanted to get the Hard Sword.

　But why is the wound only at ......?

　Upon closer observation, it seemed that the poisonous component was disrupting the flow of magic.
　So if the poison could be circulated throughout the body, it could be evened out ......?


　No, no, no, it would kill me.

　That's not how it works.

　So we can just simulate the poison.
　You can't just disrupt the flow of magic ...... and not just disrupt it.
　You have to disrupt the flow of magic so that it's evenly distributed.

　Well, then, "disturbs" is a strange word.

　Yes, this is control.

　I've thought about getting it even, but I've never quite figured out how to do it, at least not yet.

　But now that I've experienced this poisonous state, I know exactly what to do.
　We could recreate this poison to resist the magic.


　The manticore I'd been poisoning had lost some of its firepower.
　But it'll only be for a moment.
　It seems to have stopped its pride and turned to making sure it's dead.
　It was slowly approaching us, but it stopped and came at us like it did before.

　If we deal with a manticore in this situation, we won't have enough magic to take him down.
　It's not good: .......

　Just as I was thinking that, the whole area was enveloped in light.



　This is not good.



　As Revell began to battle the Manticore, Kyu sensed a familiar scent.
　He realized that it was the girl that Revell, Kyu's master, had tried to protect.
　He was ordered to stay away from her, but as if he was being guided, he went to Anna.

"...... Hey, have we met?

　Kyu telepathically spoke to Anna.

'What?　What? Who?

"Up.

'Zilong: ......?'

Smells like old times. But I haven't seen Cuu before.

　Anna understands that Kyu is the name of this baby dragon.

I'm sorry. I haven't seen him either. ...... and I can't help you with the conversation. We have to help Revell.

　Anna gets to her feet.

"I want to help him!



"Aruji?

I'm talking about Revell.

I see, you like Revel. ...... but you might die.

"It's okay. Tell me your name.

Name?　A, it's Anna.

　Anna said her name confusedly.

Ever since I met Anna, I've had the power. I want you to use this power with Anna.

'Use it!　What? How?

"Touch me, and let the magic flow

　There were a lot of things she didn't understand, but for some reason Anna also felt nostalgic in some part of her mind.
　Although there was no basis for this, she decided to trust the little dragon who seemed to be in love with Revell.

''Is it like this?''

　Anna touched Kyu and let the magic flow through her.
　Then Kyu's body emitted a dazzling radiance.

　And when Anna opened her eyes, Kyu's small body had grown so large that she could ride on her own back.

...... I don't know what happened, but I think I can show my abilities with this one.

　Anna didn't understand everything, she only understood this situation that was favorable to her .
Anna, who has the talent of a [Dragon Knight] .
　Anna had never experienced riding a dragon before, but she had a feeling that she could handle it with Kyu.

''Kyu, please!　Help me help Revell!

'Yes!　Let's save the day together!
