‘What happened?’

Terrible.

It happened the moment Jill closed her eyes and opened them.

Rex was rushing at breakneck speed.

The moment Jill opened her eyes, he was rolling on the ground with his entire body armor shattered.

‘I’m sure I… must have even cast strengthening magic…?’

I didn’t understand.

It was not that Rex lost that was incomprehensible.

I couldn’t understand ‘how’ Rex lost.

The opponent is a great devil (presumably a being that emits enormous magical energy) that takes the shape of a sword.

The Great Devil is not good at fighting head-on, so I thought he would naturally take hostages and fight fiercely.

Surprisingly, the opponent came to the forefront and received Rex’s charge.

The opponent is a devil whose body is surrounded by demonic energy.

Therefore, I thought that the means of attack would also be magical energy.

The guy actually swung a sword made of demonic energy.

······Rex was not hit by demonic energy.

‘What happened?’

Jill quickly manipulated the dashboard and looked at the records.

Then, a phenomenon appeared before my eyes, appearing in that split second.

A sword made of demonic energy is swung.

Suddenly, an unknown black thing spreads out from the sword.

Its shape, which spreads endlessly across the front, resembles a half moon.

It broke Rex’s sword in an instant, pierced his armor, and sent Rex flying.

“Rex! Retreat!”

The opponent is not the Great Devil we knew.

A monster among monsters who already demonstrates superhuman-level combat power even in close combat!

Jill urgently ordered Rex to withdraw.

Rex is definitely strong too.

It might not have been known before, but now it boasts a close combat ability that is in no way inferior to that of any superhuman.

But that was only when his body was in good health, and now that he had suffered serious injuries from an unexpected raid, it was clear that he would not be able to use his full abilities.

So, after retrieving Rex, wait for the Frost Lord to arrive…

“Aha! Hahahaha! Ahahahaha! I endured it! I endured it ‘again’! Come in, archdevil! I am a legendary swordsman, an elf who did not die even after receiving Eugene’s five swords! Until the day this life ends, I will never die. “I will not break! A precious lesson I received from a mere human! I will never forget it!!!”

“Ah! What is that elf doing?!”

Things started to go wrong again.

.

.

.

“Later, I heard that Eugene had mastered the five principles of swordsmanship called Daki-ryu. No, that was all. I heard that he was not perfect, so he worked hard and finally created it, believing that there were five techniques that did not exist in the world. When I heard that story, I was hit in the back of the head. “I felt like my head was pounding. While the human who held the sword in the short span of a dozen years rose to the level of creating a new wisdom, I, who had a lifespan of hundreds of years, was not even able to achieve even the already created wisdom!”

“Hey… can we stop the bleeding…?”

Rex screams, bleeding profusely from his abdomen and spitting out blood from his mouth.

But soon his muscles swelled.

The injured area was put under pressure and the bleeding stopped.

I was speechless due to the absurdity of this.

“That day! I don’t regret spending all of my 800 years of life in the slightest! Because the enlightenment I gained by sticking with that human with all my might is something I couldn’t have achieved no matter how much I tried for 800 years! From now on, I will do my best to use the palanquin, devil!”

“Oh well, this person is not the Great Evil, Mr. Rex!”

“Hahaha! That doesn’t matter anymore! I know something, too! There’s no way the Great Devil is going to fight head-on like this! But you can’t put a sword in front of the threshold of enlightenment!”

“······.”

Rex laughs heartily as he pulls out a second sword from behind his back.

This bastard.

The purpose of the fight has long been forgotten.

What he wants is the fight itself.

Are you trying to gain enlightenment by fighting with me?

No matter how I look at this, I was wrongly caught by Jinseong’s idiot.

“If you want.”

“Ah, why are you trying to fight again?!”

Still, I can’t back down.

That look in Rex’s eyes.

Because I know very well that that is the look in the eyes of someone that no one can break.

I was the same too.

I could pay anything and commit anything as long as I could escape the demon world.

Perhaps Rex, like me, would not hesitate to erase existence if necessary.

“I know how you feel. Come in!”

“Kaaa!!!”

If I can get the enlightenment I’ve been chasing my whole life by just hanging out a little, I’m willing.

Rex, an elf who went crazy for wrongful revenge.

Before I knew it, he was running towards me with eyes befitting a fighter.

The momentum is unique.

This is not about a simple change in attitude.

Of course, that too has changed.

The really big change is that his focus has changed.

‘Are you watching me?’

I’m sure I’m not visible to Rex.

With the exception of the strange girl in front of me and Mi-jeong, I am forgotten and unrecognizable by everyone.

But Rex is clearly looking not at Belphegor, but at me, who is holding Belphegor in his hand.

The meaning is clear.

Although it is not visible to the eye.

It is believed that the person holding that sword is there.

He fights with the firm belief that there is a transparent being wielding it, not a magic sword swinging arbitrarily in the air.

“You’re close to the answer!”

Quaaaang!

The sword energy extending from Belphegor’s sword extends in the shape of a half moon.

However, as if he would not be hit by the same technique twice, Rex evaded it by sliding flat on the ground.

Before you know it, the distance is already within 100 meters.

If you allow more access than this, you will be pushed out of your weight class.

I cut down, ignoring Belphegor’s voice screaming that he was dizzy.

In all directions.

“This······?!”

Sword techniques that embroider your eyes in an instant.

My will in my sword attack is scattered.

This time, it flies in like a tight net that cannot be avoided.

Rex’s eyes widen at this.

There’s no way you wouldn’t recognize it.

This is the very technique that caused him to be beaten and defeated.

Because it’s a storm.

“You’re not going to notice this even after seeing this!”

Rex has no choice but to notice.

Even though I cannot be seen or heard.

The moment I saw this sword strike, of course…!

“Kaaah!!!”

Kwagagagak!

Rex breaks through by blocking some of the Sangvis Storm Clash with his sword and receiving some with his body.

Because the original body was hard, the will was dispersed and the Iron Blood Storm Crash, spread wide, could not cause much damage.

But I achieved something bigger with this.

This made Rex notice my presence.

At least they would have noticed that I was still alive.

“What just happened?”

“ah······.”

Rex suddenly made a stupid expression and looked around in confusion.

Judging by his reaction, he seems to have lost his memory for a very brief period of time.

I lost all memories of seeing the Iron Blood Storm and being hit by it.

As a result, a feeling of helplessness suddenly floods my body.

“Ha… this isn’t enough…”

It’s no use.

No matter what I do, I will never be seen by anyone who cannot recognize my existence.

Although I already knew.

Seeing deterrence taking place in this way before my eyes makes me feel even more helpless.

It probably won’t work no matter what you do.

Unless they can erase me from this world, they will erase other people’s memories, reorganize them, and do all sorts of damn things.

But still, I can’t give up.

If you can’t see the way.

If all you see in front of you is a wall.

All we have to do is break through and create a path.

“Then how about this!”

“mister?!”

Pop!

He pins Belphegor into the ground and steps out with his bare hands.

Then I see agitation rising in Rex’s eyes.

If all you can see is Belphegor made of demonic energy.

What if I step out naked?

“I can’t feel it at all with my five senses or with my magical powers, but… something is approaching.”

You can’t see it.

But the fighter’s sense may be speaking to Rex.

Something is coming.

Rex closes his eyes and raises his sword.

The direction the sword is pointing is, horrifyingly, the direction I am in.

Although we cannot recognize it, we are somehow interacting with it.

Loopholes exist.

Even if your perception of me has become dull.

“Sword conversation works!”

Passs.

A transparent energy gathers in my hand.

Is it because there is no medium called a sword?

The energy is not as dense as when grinding Sangvis Storm Clash, but it gathers anyway.

Before I knew it, a transparent energy stretched out from the inside of my hand, taking on a shape similar to a sword.

A sword forged purely through my own will.

It’s not yet hard enough to be called a sword, and it doesn’t have a shape, so it flutters in the wind.

It is my own sword that can never be broken or lost.

“Hehehehe… It’s been a long time. This eerie energy! A feeling of intimidation, as if death is looming before my eyes! It’s similar to the feeling I had when I first encountered Eugene’s Iron Blood Storm Clash! Come on, invisible ghost! “I have a feeling that fighting will be a turning point in my life!!!”

This guy.

Are you looking at my ‘will’?

Even though I know the general direction, I don’t know my exact location. The tip of Rex’s sword, which was shaking, comes directly between my eyes.

The tip of the sword faced each other.

Now, conversation has finally become common.

Rex seeks enlightenment and heads to the realm beyond.

And so that I may master how to wield this sword of will.

Also…what was it?

I think there was another reason why we were fighting.

Anyway, they forgot all about that and rushed at each other.

Rex chants as he draws an irregular trajectory with his one-handed sword.

“Merida-ryu Oui.”

“······!”

Something unusual is approaching.
