The long serrated knife reflected the gray sunlight, drawing silvery-white trails in the cold air, constantly skimming over the short branches that served as targets, sometimes cutting them into several pieces, sometimes only a shallow knife mark—every time this happened, Galadia would nod in satisfaction, stop practicing, and grasp the feeling.

And I, who is responsible for throwing branches, is also practicing the technique of condensing spiritual power at my fingertips, and the objects are naturally those two or three centimeter long branches, anyway, there are at least a thousand of them in this big bag on my back, which is enough for a long time.

With a snap, a branch was burst by powerful spiritual power and turned into a cloud of sawdust.

At the same time, the long knife once again swept over the branch flying in the air, skillfully grazing it and retracting it, without even affecting the path of the branch itself.

"Whew!" Galadia put away her long knife, sighed a little tiredly, and bent down to pick up the branch that had been broken in two, and carefully examined the broken one.

"Done?" Seeing her look of realization, I stopped my exercise and leaned over to study the unfortunate branch that had been dismembered.

The fracture is divided into two sections, the first half of which is rough, which is the result of sawtooth cutting; The second half is as smooth as a mirror and is cut off by ultra-high-speed wind pressure.

But why did she practice such swordsmanship? I think that kind of two-handed swordsmanship with wide opening and closing is very practical.

"Because I have to deal with an enemy that cannot be defeated with a great sword." Galadia took out a ribbon to tie her eyes, and put her hair up again, putting on a brown wig made of unknown materials, and immediately transformed from an elegant and proud female warrior to a kind blind girl, "You can also put on some makeup, there is a village in front, let's go rest for a while, and buy some spices and other necessities by the way." ”

"Even if you can disguise a blind girl, I can't pretend to be harmless to a human animal......"

"You just have to be yourself." She covered her mouth and smiled, "The animal skin robe I prepared yesterday is just right now. ”

The great sword made of four weapons is now carried on my shoulder by me, who is wrapped in animal skins as a robe, and Galadia is stationed on a branch that acts as a crutch, pretending to be a weak and blind girl - I have to say, she is very talented in acting, although her tall figure cannot be reduced, but that kind of pitiful temperament really makes it impossible to connect this disabled girl who seems to be blown down by a gust of wind and the silver-eyed witch who kills people without blinking.

In contrast, playing the role of the barbarian's brother, I can only be regarded as a true performance. Galadia also said that as long as I treat the villagers as usual, it will be enough to complete my role-play.

It's a big village, and the houses look sturdy, and it's the most prosperous village I've ever seen these days. It's just that the expressions of the villagers are very strange, one by one is silent, and they deliberately keep a distance between them, as if they are all wary of each other, and many of them have dark blue eyes and look like they are not sleeping.

What's going on?

Although I was full of doubts, it was inconvenient for me to speak, and Galadia repeatedly emphasized that there was no such thing as "alien races and foreign languages" in this land, and that I did not understand their language, and there was no other way for me to do so than to disguise myself as a mute.

Of course, dumb people can't speak......

According to the predetermined plan, our "brother and sister" with very contrasting appearances arrived at the village chief's house on the edge of the village - I was right, as I understood before, the village chief also runs a hotel in general, and the weak and lovely "sister" is responsible for negotiating with the village chief who is also a part-time hotel owner. I don't know what Galadia told him, but the bald guy was first depressed, then wryly smiled, then surprised, and kept shaking his head.

Foreign languages or something, the most annoying!

In my silence and depression, Galadia finally persuaded the village chief, who seemed to have made up his mind, and took out a small cloth bag that was carefully tied, and reluctantly untied it, revealing some tiny gold bars.

Depend on! It's really "the meat of the bun is not folded", I can't see that you, a small village official, have so much money!

But Galadia politely pushed back the gold bar that had been pushed in front of her, and then said something, and motioned for me to leave with her.

Feed? What are you going to do? We don't have that in our plans!

I followed Gladya in a daze, and she did not walk very fast disguised as a blind girl, and it took her a while to reach a house on the edge of the village.

Knock on the door, ask questions, open the door.

As soon as I saw the seemingly loyal old man, I knew the reason - he looked like a human, but he had a demonic aura from him, and although it was so thin that it was almost impossible to feel compared to Galadia, it was impossible to escape my eyes when he was close to him, not to mention the smell of blood that he had obviously killed someone not long ago!

Needless to say, I just picked up my big sword and smashed it on my head.

The demon disguised as an old man didn't have time to react, and I smashed it into a pool of purple-red flesh.

With the surprised and comforting eyes of the surrounding villagers, we returned to the village chief's house.

"By the way, when did you find that guy?" The next morning, we left the village with our reward in the midst of the villagers' farewell, and when it was too far for the villagers to hear us, I was finally able to open the chatterbox that had been held back for a day, "I didn't realize that he was a demon until we met." ”

"Demon energy perception is my specialty, and my perception range can reach up to two kilometers." Galadia's expression was still calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a little pride, "In the organization, I was the 'eye' that was responsible for using demonic energy perception to collect intelligence, and among the 'eyes' of the past generations, my perception ability was also the absolute strongest!" ”

"'Eye'?"

"The organization divided the continent into forty-seven parts, each of which sent a warrior to garrison, in order of NO.1 to NO.47, and this serial number is also a ranking of strength. Except for the protagonist who ignores the ranking, only NO-3 is special.,Successive generations of NO.3 are the type that is good at demon perception.,The main duty is not to destroy demons.,But to gather intelligence.,So it's called 'eye'.。 ”

"So, is your strength ranked third in the 'Great Sword'?" I'm not very interested in "Eye", but rather interested in her real power ranking.

"The strength of the 'great swords' is not fixed, and the abilities of the warriors of the past generations have been strong and weak, taking NO.1 as an example, of course, there are three top powerhouses who are called the 'Three Abysses', there are also some short-lived ghosts who may not even be as good as me, and the unfathomable Dinisha and Priscilla ......" Galadia also seemed to find this question difficult to answer, and gave me an irresponsible answer, "In short, the ranking can only be used as a reference. ”

However, I am not fooling people who have passed by with such ambiguous answers.

"So, at least when you leave the organization, is it the third-ranked powerhouse?"

Galadia thought for a moment, smiled, and shook her head.

"At that time, No.1 Dinisha disappeared, No.2 Priscilla awakened, No.3 Innelli defected, No.4 and No.5 died, the Black Twins hadn't grown up yet, and Latina hadn't returned to the organization—haha, so I actually worked as No.1 for a few days......"

"Putting aside the temporary number one master, who are the people you are talking about?"

"The Three Abysses refer to 'Northern Horse' Isli, 'West Noodles' Liv Road, and 'Southern Cat' Luciella."

"These nicknames are weird!"

"Those nicknames were given to them by anime fans before the crossing, and in this world, except for Isli, who has the title of 'Silver King', the other two are simply called 'Abyss'." Galadia patiently explained, "The reason why they are called 'abyss' refers to the fact that their demonic power is bottomless and immeasurably powerful. ”

"Oh? With your strength, you can't even estimate? "I'm a little interested, Galadia's strength is worse than mine, but it is also limited, the reason why she is not my opponent is only because of the way she fights, if those three 'abysses' are so strong that even she can't spy on their strength, wouldn't it be very terrifying?

"I haven't met them, so there's no way to compare." Galadia pondered for a moment, then said, "But I once fought with Luciella's sister Lahuana, and she liberated about 30% of her demonic power at that time, and I was able to barely block it even though I struggled to fight with 30%. As far as I know, the two sisters should be on par in strength - that is, I am not much worse than Luciella before she awakened, and I guess she was not as good as you at that time. Although the strength of the warrior will increase greatly after awakening, it is still based on their own strength. Even if I awaken, I may not be able to win against you, so you should at least not be much worse than Luciella, and even if you lose, you won't be defeated. ”

"In other words, I'm a quasi-abyss, huh?"

"Think so......"

"So I'm the fourth in the world on this continent?"

"It's a pity," Galadia shook her head with a smile again, "The so-called abyss refers to the awakened No-1, but in addition to them, there are several strong people who are recognized as not below the abyss. ”

Oh? What else?

"The smiling Denisha and the 'One-Horned Slayer' Priscilla, these two are recognized as strong men beyond the abyss, and the black twins who have been specially cultivated to defeat the abyss - this pair of two can only be counted as one, and they may not have fully grown up yet, so don't worry for the time being; Lahana hasn't awakened yet, so she must not be your opponent; The silver-eyed Lion King Ricardo is incredibly fast, and if you meet him, you will only fall behind. Galadia wrenched her fingers and counted as she spoke, "In general, I'm sure there are five who are stronger than you; At the same level as you, there are not necessarily four strong or weak, considering that the big swords can be awakened, then at least three are stronger than you after awakening; In addition, it is necessary to consider the main character and other BUG Seven......"

"Please, my head is big when you say it!"

"Anyway, there will definitely be you among the top ten masters at the moment, it's as simple as that."

It's not simple at all......

As I was in the midst of my thoughts, Galadia suddenly stopped, and with a pull on the hilt of her greatsword, she redivided the two-handed greatsword into four weapons, and then put on a round shield and held the long, commonly used serrated knife, in a posture of battle.

"Five kilometers away, humanoids approached at high speed - so fast! I've broken into the range of demonic energy perception -- demonic energy is stronger than me -- NO.1 or NO.2? - It's coming! ”

A barely visible figure suddenly appeared on the horizon, and then, in the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of us.

While!

With a loud bang, Galadia couldn't stop this thunderous blow at all, and was directly knocked away by the figure with the wind whistling, and a bright red blood flower was sprinkled in the air.

Enemy!

Before I had time to think about it, I had already rushed forward, and before the guy who had rushed far away because he was too fast could turn around, he was between him and Galadia.

My gut told me that the next blow was a thrust right in the heart.

Behind him is Galadia, who has not yet recovered, and she can't dodge.

In that case, give it a head-on blow!

The aura explodes, and the flesh is strengthened! Reimaru!

The onslaught came head-on, and while I shot the enemy with the spirit pill, I was hit head-on myself, staggering back a few steps, and finally barely standing before crashing into Galadia.

But compared to me, that guy's situation was much more serious, it was hit hard by me, and it took another spirit pill, and flew out at a speed similar to when it rushed over, and fell directly into the woods not far away.

"Two more." Galadia finally regained a little of her spirits and said in a hoarse voice, "There are two more approaching, presumably NO.2 and NO.3." ”

Depend on! The top three together? I'm just a little proud, and the blow is coming?

God, how good and bad you are!

Looking at the three big sword warriors with bitter and bitter faces and hatred, they almost felt fire erupting from their eyes, and even an old bad boy like me felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

I said, Galadya, what did you do? People are simply trying to fight hard!

Then, the two sides began to quarrel.

Watching them dance and dance, I still couldn't understand anything.

Of course, I didn't learn the language of this continent from Galadia, and even if I did, it would probably take me five or six years to master it according to my talent......

Foreign languages or something, the most annoying!

While they were arguing, I came up with a demonic trick.

The thin woman who bumped into me just now has a basic demonic aura of 65, and if she uses that kind of technique to liberate demonic power, she may be able to surpass me. However, her attack method is very monotonous, and it seems that she was not lightly injured just now, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

The short-haired woman in the middle who is about the same size as me has a basic demonic spirit of 60, and judging by her figure and the speed at which she just ran over, she should be similar to a hoplite, right? Use speed to open up distance.

The big-eyed little Lori who is far away has a basic demonic aura of only 45, which is lower than that of Galadia. Looking at that small body, it doesn't look like a type that can fight well, maybe it's a special support class, right?

Enemy: 1 Speed Warrior, 1 Power Warrior, 1 Support Warrior, with a strong will to fight, and will undoubtedly adopt the same fighting style.

Side: A powerful warrior, a technical warrior, the will to fight - I don't have a desperate plan anyway.

It seems that our side is more disadvantaged......

However, the hard-hitting collision just now had aroused my killing intent, so although I repeatedly warned myself "Don't work hard, don't fight hard!" After the battle started, I directly strengthened my body with aura, and I collided with that fast guy again.

Only this time, instead of knocking her out, I fought to get stabbed, grabbed her arm, and pushed her down. With the crisp sound of broken bones, the severed hands could no longer hold the big sword, and could only hang down weakly.

There was a hot pain in my chest from being stabbed with a great sword, which only stimulated my wildness and I let out a loud roar. The aura poured into his arms and strangled the girl whose face was already bruised into his arms - a bear hug!

For the next half minute, I used the body in my arms as a cushion and crashed wildly in the woods, although she struggled desperately, and even liberated the demon power to the point that it had become a monster, but it still couldn't recover the overwhelming gap in each other's strength, and even if it was half human and half demon, the broken arms couldn't exert force well, so in the end she could only leave a last word that might be a curse, and helplessly stopped her heartbeat.

Those who use swords against people, with such an ending, what is there to complain about!

Carrying the corpse, which could barely be found intact, I returned to the battlefield outside the woods.

In fact, you don't need to look at it at all, just by the comparison of the three demonic qi on the battlefield, you can know the battle situation: whether it is the amount of demonic qi or the stability of demonic qi, Galadia has the absolute upper hand, and what makes me feel a little strange is that she has been liberated to the point where her arms have begun to demonize, but the demonic qi is not as violent as last time, but stable as flowing water - could it be that in just a few days, she has achieved great feats?

The skinny girl I killed was adept at super-high-speed assaults, presumably so that Galadia wouldn't have time to run away even if she spotted it—just like she had just done; The big guy is very good in terms of strength and recovery, but unfortunately his speed is too slow, and he should be responsible for the defense task; The big-eyed little girl has a strange way of attacking, she uses her sword to send out sword qi to carry out long-range attacks, although it is not very powerful, but it is fast, and it looks a bit comic - it should be used as a diversion attack, right? I guess her real ability is about those big watery eyes, Galadia's radar scanning range is five kilometers, and I believe that no warrior can have such an amazing demonic perception, so she may be a real "eye" - with extraordinary vision to find targets.

After analyzing it like this, it is found that this trio feels that it is specially cultivated for Galadia, and in the face of such a combination with each other's strengths and tacit cooperation, if it weren't for her having an unexpected reinforcement, it would obviously only end in defeat - it was actually possible to let the organization train a few strong people to hunt her down, what did this Galadia do?

But as the saying goes, "behind the strongest is the weakest", after the iron triangle formation was broken, they looked overstretched in the battle, the tall warrior tried to cover the little girl with a giant sword and body, but no matter which one of them, they couldn't catch up with the speed of Galadia, but they didn't know why they didn't retreat, so the battle ended up being a one-sided torture.

When the big man, who was no longer human, fell, the desperate little girl finally gave up her resistance, and just stared at Galadia with a pair of silver eyes that pierced her sockets and spilled blood and tears, and cursed in her mouth.

From the syllables, her curse seemed to look similar to the one just now.

Ignoring her curse, Galadia picked up her long serrated knife and slashed it down.
