On the road leading from Rantir to Karn Village, two people stand at the front of the team surrounded by monsters, ready to meet the attack from the monsters.

A tall man on the left, dressed in black and purple armor and armed with two giant swords, stood in the middle of the road like a god, and Ainz intended to start the battle and show off his strength a little.

Beside him, Hiiragi also pulled out the katana he had purchased as a saber.

Holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, Hiiragi also felt that this kind of katana was not as good as the Chinese Tang sword and horizontal sword, after all, the horizontal sword can be said to be the 'originator' of the katana, and I heard that Japanese swords are mostly improved from horizontal swords.

However, since Hiiragi didn't have a samurai or warrior class, he didn't know how to use knives, so he could only wield this katana with the knowledge he had gathered.

The sword technique originates from the heart, and the breath is also the time of the sword and the sword.

That's true, but Hiiragi hasn't mastered these techniques, and it's just used to pretend = force......

Compared to this, before Ainz rushed into the enemy line, Hiiragi was also ready to fight at any time.

Lower your body while facing the blade outwards with the back of the knife firmly on the left lower abdomen.

Hold the handle of the knife with one hand in your right hand and gently rest your left hand on the blade, breathing in an abdominal position to keep it steady.

Hiiragi is also about to perform a sword slash, but a modified slash that is suitable for beginners.

"Hiiragiya, what kind of move did you have? Aren't you a mage? ”

"This kind of setting is also common, I'm a melee mage who belongs to the physics department."

“…… It's a really surprising career, and I went first. ”

Take a step forward. This move attracted the monsters all around. They immediately launched an attack on Ainz.

Nabe, in the rear, did not act because of the order of Ainz. Only coldly moved his gaze to Ainz and Hiiragi.

Since Ainz attracted some of the monsters, the remaining monsters put their aggro on Hiiragi.

Mixed monsters such as dryads and man-eating plants pounced on Hiiragi, and Hiiragi immediately took action.

The first is the speed of the knife, which is steady and slow at first, and then becomes faster in the middle of the knife, and finally uses the strength of the wrist and arm to swing it like a whip.

"Chop."

Attaching the ability to the ability while using the slash is probably thought to be a magic buff to outsiders.

It became a sword-like ability, and appeared in front of everyone in the form of a slash.

The half-moon slash has no sound effect. Everything in front of him was cut open in an instant.

The monsters' bodies were split in two, and pieces of flesh mixed with different colors fell to the ground.

Some monsters dodged a blow because of good luck, and when they tried to attack Hiiragi, they were killed by Hiiragi.

Taking a step forward, Hiiragi also retracted his blade and stabbed backwards, and the dryad who wanted to sneak up was impaled through the chest.

"Shhh

The monster roared, and Hiiragi swung his wrist, completely splitting the dryad in half.

There are some deviations from the plot, but it doesn't deviate too much from the main line.

"It's beautiful, Hiiragi."

"No, no. Mr. Momo is the best. ”

Wield a large sword that looks rather bulky and destroy the monsters around you, along with the ground and trees.

Suddenly. Several monsters emerge from the ground and use their hands and feet to wrap around Ainz so that he cannot move.

"Oh?"

The monsters who knew how to cooperate easily swarmed up, and the immovable Anz made the people of the Black Sword cry out in fear, and some of them planned to rush forward to help.

But......

Nabe rammed her weapon in front of them, keeping silent while stopping their movements.

Facing the encirclement tactics of the lowest-level monster, Anz snorted lightly, raised his giant sword in his right hand, and stabbed it into the ground.

Bang!

The powerful explosion caused the ground to shatter, and the monsters fell from the sky with severed limbs.

With a wave of his hands, shaking off the blood stained with the weapon, Ainz looked at his right hand.

"Sure enough, it's still a little rusty, so let's use it as training."

The battle was simply over.

It ended in a landslide victory for Hiiragi and Ainz.

"Mr. Momo, what a great skill."

"It's nothing, it's enough to deal with them."

"There's no such thing, it's really powerful, if only I had such strength."

Enfirea looked envious.

Arriving at his destination, he got out of the car, backpacked on and prepared to head to the forest.

"The monsters on the road have been cleaned up by Mr. Momo and Mr. Hiiragi, and I will go to the forest to collect some medicinal herbs that I need."

Enfirea said and walked towards the forest.

Among the members of the Dark Sword, Niah, who had rarely chatted with Momo, looked at Hiiragi with a puzzled expression.

"Are you really a mage?"

"Alas~ How to say it......"

As Hiiragi pondered the lie, Luclot grabbed Nia and dragged her towards the forest.

"Our employers are all leaving, we're going to ask Hiiragi later, anyway, I'm going to ask him to tell me everything! The way he fought just now didn't look like a fighter, and it didn't look like a guerrilla like me. ”

Luclot winked at Hiiragi and left with a grin.

The members of the Black Sword and Enfirea walked towards the forest, followed by Ainz and the others.

Xiao Nai offered to take care of the carriage, probably because she was tired of walking......

Let her call out to herself if she has a problem, and Hiiragi also enters the forest.

At this point, Nabe walked ahead, and Ainz slowed down slightly.

"Hiiragi-sama, where did you learn the way you fought just now?"

It's clear that they're looking for information.

Hiiragi, who touched his chin, couldn't help but wonder, 'Should I not pretend to be with him?' ’。

"Me? I studied in my hometown. ”

"Hometown? You're not from the kingdom? ”

"Well, because I want to come out and see this world, it's a little boring to stay in one place all the time."

Hiiragi's ability to make up lies is not top-notch. But there are some levels.

Anyway, Anz doesn't know Hiiragi's true identity. Casual lies will not be exposed immediately.

"If there is a chance. I'd like to be able to talk to each other. ”

"No, Lord Momo, I'll take care of this annoying bug."

"Nabe, don't intervene."

"Yes."

Nabe glared at Hiiragi before falling silent.

Anzi, who was walking next to Hiiragi, looked ahead, and it was a fairly quiet wood.

Sunlight shone down from above, and Ainz's armor reflected a cold glow.

"Nabe sometimes says things like that, don't mind. About the hometown you just mentioned. I really want to see the hometown of Hiiragi. ”

"That's ......"

If anything, it's the real world.

Just as Hiiragi was talking to Anz, Enfirea in front of him found the medicinal herbs that Le cherished, and Dyne, who was following him, hurriedly walked over.

"Well, it would be nice to use it to make healing potions."

"Mr. Dyne knows very well."

"Because of the profession, after all, magic is not infinite, and occasionally healing potions are used, let's go over there and have a look."

As the group moved, Hiiragi also felt the wind that was a little chaotic in the flow.

There was something unusual about this gust of wind.

At the beginning, when Hiiragi also stepped into the forest, the wind direction was from east to west. The branches of the trees are also oriented towards the west.

The only thing that can cause the gas to be disturbed is when some kind of large object moves.

Did you get into that plot?

Ainz put this woods inside the ......

"It can't be. The Wise King of the Forest, right?! ”

Peter immediately drew his weapon and looked around, and Luclot climbed up the tree to observe the situation.

"King of the Forest?"

"Don't you know, Mr. Momo?"

Enfirea stuffed all the collected plant materials into his backpack.

"Legend has it that this forest is inhabited by monsters known as the 'King of the Forest', and it is a very powerful being. It was because of his relationship that there were no low-level monsters near Karn Village, which made the villagers love and hate. ”

"Oh? A powerful presence. ”

Ainz waved his hand.

"Nabe, you take them to retreat first, and I'll meet this forest sage king for a while."

"But Momo-sama ......"

"Nabe, don't listen to me?"

"I see."

Having received the order, Nabe began to retreat with the Sword of Darkness.

"Hey! Do you really want to do this? ”

Peter knew that Ainz was powerful, but he was worried that Ainz would be killed.

It's not just him, everyone else thinks the same way.

With a wave of his hand, Ainz drew his two greatswords and prepared for battle.

Hiiragi didn't stay where he was, but chose to leave.

After all, letting the plot develop normally is Hiiragi's idea.

But Hiiragi didn't take a few steps before he was grabbed by Anz, who was left in the forest.

"Your Excellency Hiiragi, how about staying and helping?"

"Ah, alas?"

That thing, the monster named the Forest Virtuous King, is close!

The wind was howling, and it suddenly stopped moving rapidly in the forest.

In the darkness, under the shadow of the woods, sounds sounded.

"You and other foolish people dare to trespass into the woodlands below!"

Out of the darkness, the chubby hamster came out.

"Today, either you die, or you die!"

“…………”

Alas? Ainz fell silent.

Hiiragi just stood aside and watched what was happening in front of him.

No matter how many times you watch it, it's still super funny...... What is the Sage of the Forest...... It's just a hamster.

To be precise, it is a super-large Gakaria hamster-type highly intelligent monster.

The level is still quite high for humans, after all, there are more than thirty levels.

"Don't say more! I will not forgive you and other rude people! ”

"You're the Forest King?"

"Huh? Aren't you talking nonsense? Below is the feared and infinite wisdom, and the forest sage king who is in charge of this forest is also! ”

"What an accident...... Are you a hamster of the Gakaria species? ”

"What? Is that what you call your race? ”

The sage king of the forest, whose eyes lit up, jumped off the tree.

"It looks like it's amazing."

"It's very subtle, you forest king."

"Look down on it?! Thou impudent one! ”

Hamster, no, it was the Forest King who attacked.

Despite its size, it is surprisingly agile to move.

The Forest Sage has a 20-meter-long scaly tail that can swing like a snake, and its body hair is filled with magical characters that can use eight different spells.

For humans, the Forest Virtuous King is indeed quite powerful.

The Sage of the Forest, who charged at Ainz, gripped Ainz with his razor-sharp claws.

"It's pretty fast."

"Kill you, yes!"

The claws of the Forest Sage and the twin swords of Ainz collide.

Just as the sparks were flewing, Ainz turned sideways to dodge the Scaly Tail blow that the Forest Sage King had secretly used.

"Predicted the attack below?"

"Not enough strength, King of the Forest."

"Hmm!"

Pushed aside by Ainz, the Forest Sage grabbed a large tree and set his sights on Hiiragi.

"Kill this person first."

"Huh? Why me? ”

Hiiragi also faced the forest king who pounced, and pulled out his blade to protect himself.

If you kill the Forest Virtuous King, it will make the plot collapse.

In addition, Hiiragi doesn't have any fight against the cute thing in front of him**.

The swinging blade slashed at the Forest Sage's claws, and this time, the blade used the ability to use the power on the Forest Sage's claws, invalidating all of its 'acceleration time, inertial impact time'.

"What's going on? Why is there no power in the attack below! ”

Confused, the forest sage uses the scaly tail to attack Hiiragi from the side.

Move your body and slide the blade over the Forest Sage's claws as you turn sideways, slashing at the Scales to the side.

"Again?! Hmmm! Be serious in the next! ”

The Forest Sage stated as he stepped back.

Hiiragi also used his ability to cut off his 'run-up time', allowing him to reach his top speed in an instant.

No, it's fast enough that you don't need to.

The increase in physical fitness brought by the full level made Hiiragi instantly approach in front of the Forest Virtuous King, handed the blade to his left hand with his right hand, and smashed his right fist into the left side of the Forest Virtuous King's face.

"Puff~!!"

With a flash of tears, the Forest Virtuous lost his balance and slammed into the trunk of a tree not far away.

At the same time, Hiiragi also sees Anz in action.

"I'll help you, Hiiragi."

Ainz stood beside the Forest Sage, slashing sideways as it flew past.

"Huh?!"

Taken aback, Hiiragi also sensed that Ainz was attacking him through the Forest Virtuous King.

With his left hand, he raised his katana to block Ainz's attack, and the whole person was knocked in the opposite direction.

Fortunately, the katana he bought was made of stainless steel, otherwise he would have been cut off by Ainz's greatsword.

"I'm sorry, Hiiragi, I made a mistake."

Hiiragi, who had been knocked away for some distance, also stabilized his body and was not in any serious trouble.

In the face of Anz's apology, Hiiragi also nodded.

"Kill the enemy first."

"There was a bit of a mistake in judgment just now, this forest sage king is really moving fast."

"It's understandable, after all, Mr. Momo is wearing that helmet, and I've been wondering if my vision won't be affected."

"Well, I can see it very clearly."

Sensing being ignored, the Forest Sage King screamed and cut off the trees on one side.

"I'm going to be serious in the next place! This time it's really serious! Wait for your fate! (To be continued.) )
