.
I swung my sword while clicking my tongue.
One hour already passed since the battle started.
The twin spirit crests shining on both my hands were dimming.
This power was suitable to obtain explosive amount of power in a short time, but it wasn’t suited for long time use.
In contrast, the opponent was,
「Cut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-ut-uttt」
He was rapidly getting faster and stronger.
The power of god of disaster was adapting to the orichalcum.
His attack variation was also increasing.
I should have seen through the opponent’s range and back stepped so that his thrust would narrowly miss me.
However, more sword grew from his sword arm. I twisted my neck to dodge the sword while stepping forward to land a palm strike……but, at the moment of impact, from the whole body of the sword puppet, needles grew out instead of sword.
My left hand got skewered, and on top of that I couldn’t take distance from him. I was held in place.
The sword puppet did a headbutt after that. There was also a sword growing from his head.
「Explosion」
I endured the pain while activating explosion magic with my skewered left hand.
I blew away the sword puppet and also using the recoil to be blown away myself. Thanks to that the needle came out, but my left hand was torn badly.
I couldn’t use it decently anymore.
……I concentrated my magic power to regenerate it, but it would only be usable as support at best during this battle.
「Sheesh. Things will get really bad soon at this rate.」
There was less than two minutes until the twin spirit crests vanished. If that power ran out, I would become unable to even run around to escape.
「Spin spin spin spin」
This time he grew blades from his whole body and spun like a pinwheel while charging at me.
「Iron Wall」
I borrowed the power of earth mana to use the mineral underground and created a wall five meter thick in front of me.
That iron wall was carved apart like chocolate. The sword puppet dug through and appeared before me……and fell.
This wall was a camouflage to hide the pitfall.
I buried the hole with the broken iron wall’s fragments.
I would be able to rest a little if I could buy time with this.
「Spin spin spin spin spin!」
That faint hope of mine was instantly smashed apart.
The ground shook and a giant drill spun while flying out.
「A drill, you can turn into anything huh.」
I laughed. The twin spirit crests vanished.
I could still maintain it, but I had to keep enough energy in reserve for at least a single swing in order to defeat this guy.
「You get scared, you give up, give up, then, can cut」
Certainly my fighting strength had drastically fell now that the twin spirit crests vanished.
Even so, I had the techniques that my teachers bestowed to me.
I could concentrate on technique exactly because my tremendous strength had vanished.
Take a deep deep deep breath.
Put the sword into the sheath.
I placed my injured left hand on the sheath. I would only use my right hand to swing the sword.
What I would display after this was the height of swordsmanship. A slash that was polished to the limit and moved with godspseed……its name was Iai(sword draw).
The sword puppet came slashing. We passed each other.
A crack entered the sword puppet’s sword. My imitation sword of oracle broke. My shoulder also got cut and blood spurted out from there.
「Kukukuku, strongest, my sword, strongest, as expected, I’m worthy, more than Kururu, kukukuku」
「Well yeah, your blade is better than this sword. But you see, the current Kururu can forge even more amazing sword. Isn’t that right……Kururu!」
I yelled.
It was the arrival of the trump card that I had been waiting for.
Yes, Kururu arrived riding on Tita’s wind.
「Yes-! I finally, finished it. This is, my……no, Ork-san and my sword.」
I caught the sword that Kururu threw.
「Kururururururururuuuuuu」
The sword puppet rushed at Kururu.
I interposed between them and swung the sword.
Sword and sword clashed.
……The new sword didn’t get chipped. Then, I could swing it without holding back my strength.
The sword puppet was blown away.
「……Hey, you. You are the world’s strongest sword right? Then, you should cut this sword of Kururu rather than Kururu herself. That’s only if you still have your pride as divine steel tribe remaining though. Let’s decide this with a head on clash shall we?」
I took the stance of Iai that I showed just now.
It was conveyed just from that.
This was what I was telling him. Let’s both of us unleashed each other’s strongest attack to each other and decided which was inferior.
「Amusing, amusing, amusing, Kururu’s, sword, crush it, and then, Kururu」
The unpleasant sound of laughter and metallic sound that overlapped on each other rang out once more.
Then, the sword puppet’s left arm vanished. His body became slimmer on the whole. Only his right arm was lengthened and enlarged to an abnormal degree.
In addition that enlarged right arm returned to its normal size.
No, it wasn’t just returning back to normal. The sword was being super compressed.
Its toughness couldn’t be compared from before.
「Kururu, let’s do it together.」
「Yes-, I understand.」
Kururu put her hand over my hand that was holding the sheath. She put her strength into it.
The combination of flame mana and her own magic power, the feat that only Kururu could do.
Kururu’s flame.
She didn’t make it seep into the sword, but making it coiling around the sword.
By doing this, the blade became an divine steel(orichalcum) killing blade.
「Um, can I ask one thing? Why, are you doing something like this? You even became this battered.」
Kururu asked while looking at my bleeding shoulder, my hole riddled left hand, and the cuts that were covering my whole body.
「I want to protect Kururu.」
「As I thought that’s the reason. Tita-san said that it’s surely like that.」
「I’m a type that devote my everything to the woman I love. In order to protect Kururu’s dream, I can’t possibly take Kururu and Tita and run away from here.」
「Eh, not me, but my dream?」
Kururu stared at me in puzzlement.
「If it’s just about protecting your life, I can carry you and Tita and run away. That will be the safest way.」
「Err, then, why」
「You want to complete the resealing in your mother’s place right? ……The god of disaster is dwelling inside that guy’s body. If you can slash that guy with your sword, he will get completely resealed, no, he will be exterminated. You won’t just catch up to your mother, you will surpass her. Now that the god of disaster has become like that, Kururu’s dream won’t come true forever unless you do it right here right now.」
「Puh, ahahahahaha, you are so stupid. To think that you are even thinking something like that. ……Um, Ork-san, I love you.」
Kururu kissed me on the cheek.
And then she moved away.
「If you can properly make my dream come true, I’ll let you do the continuation of that.」
「……I see, then, I’ll end this.」
I’m really motivated.
And it seemed the other side was also the same. He had completely finished the reforming of his right arm.
「I’m the one, I’m the one, the strongest」
「Too bad but, you’re mistaken. Now, let’s do this.」
The sword puppet vanished. That was his fastest speed until now.
So he finally displayed his full strength.
But I myself also put my full strength.
The three layers of seal that was binding me. I undid the first layer of it. I only undid the first layer wasn’t because I feared not being able to return back or because I was underestimating the sword puppet.
In order to oppose the world devouring demon bug, what I needed was an overwhelming base spec.
But, against this guy, what I needed was a single attack with the greatest density where I put my everything into. If I only released the first layer of the seal, I was still able to barely control that strength.
Although my total strength was far inferior compared to the last time I undid the seal, I could put far more strength into a single slash in this state.
Since that day when I caused Tita to cry, I had secretly researched the seal and frequently accustomed myself to my true power.
As the result, if it was only for eight seconds, I would be able to control my strength in 100% even with the release of the seal’s first layer.
The seal was undone. I poured the overwhelming magic power and ki, all of them into the blade.
I also poured the power of the twin spirit crests that I put in reserve for the sake of this single slash.
But, it still wasn’t enough.
My sixth sense was telling me that.
That was why, I even put my love for Kururu into it.
Just a step before the range.
Before this I was staying in place to wait for the enemy, but this time I also stepped forward to meet the enemy.
I stepped.
I also put that acceleration’s force into the sword. The unsheathing, the twisting of the waist, the swinging of the arm, the bending of the waist, I put all of them into the blade.
This was my technique at its utmost limit. Theoretically this was the greatest attack that my body could unleash.
My power when the first layer of the seal was released was like that. I thought that there was no sword in this world that could possibly endure it.
In fact, the imitation sword of oracle had shown sign of breaking down at the battle just now. I was compromising by limiting my power to the very limit of its endurance.
But, this sword, it was still going strong even while accepting my whole strength.
That was why, I could swing my greatest attack to the end.
The sword puppet and I passed each other.
「The best, I’m, I’m, the best, sword」
The sword puppet turned around, and it was bisected.
It didn’t regenerate or transform.
Its very existence had been bisected.
Even the god of disaster filling that guy had also been slashed.
This sword was the sword of oracle exactly because it could accomplish such.
That guy would never appear anymore.
I put the sword into the sheath.
「Take care of me, my new partner.」
*Thump*, the sword responded with a pulsation.
It looked like I would be together with this guy for long.
Kururu and Tita came running.
Now then, I shall enjoy the continuation that Kururu promised.
……The problem was how far I could go.
It would be necessary to pay a meticulous attention in regard to that. After all even if Kururu actually only intended to go as far as kissing, depending on my method it was also possible to gradually break down her reluctance!
