"Dangerous—"

I don't know what kind of voice almost collapsed after shouting this sentence. My body rushed forward.

The world is cruel.

Yes, so cruel that one can beware of the endless pain that comes in the next second even if you breathe.

At this moment. Not far above the man was the tyrannical axe blade of the giant.

The giant that had just been covered by the rain of arrows, the giant who had just fallen to the ground and stopped moving, had stood silently behind the man at some point.

........................ Obviously it has been knocked down...... Is it just for a momentary break, or just to get a closer look at what the two of us humans are doing?

......。 Damn it...... This guy is just playing dead.

Ah, yes, this guy.

It's just playing dead all the time.

The aim is to look at our actions and brutally break the good after a brief moment of joy.

Like a seasoned hunter, when hunting birds, he will only lurk quietly in the distant bushes until they are tired of landing on the edge of the lake and begin to take care of their spotless feathers before launching a deadly attack.

Instead of shooting arrows as they spread their wings and leap into the sky, they shoot sharp arrows directly at them hovering in the blue sky.

Wait for it to be killed in a brief period of tranquility. This approach is even more cost-effective.

At the same time, it will bring overwhelming pain and despair to the prey in joy and safety, and your heart will also show unparalleled sadistic happiness.

The behemoth in front of you is not just a mountain of meat. Rather, it is a dark and treacherous hunter full of wisdom.

Me and the man in white in front of me are just prey in the eyes of a shrewd hunter.

That's all.

"Whew!" the giant axe slammed down with a roll of dust. Like a hammer of judgment. The next second, simply draw a stopper for another life.

"Get out of the way—"

The man in front of him didn't seem to perceive the danger behind it. At that moment, there was still a deep smile on my face.

"Get out of the way!!" the teeth were so hard that they bit their lips.

The taste of blood permeated the mouth unbridled.

- The dull loud sound of "bang !!!" announced that the executioner's great axe had landed.

The clear scene in front of him was instantly shrouded in the dust stirred up by the giant blade. The only thing that stood out was the incomparably abominable ghost smile on the giant's face. It was as if the eyes that could penetrate everything were deeply engraved in my bones.

――Are you fantasizing about me turning into a lump of meat?

I thought bitterly. As long as the dust in front of him clears, he can see the smashed and cracked body of the man who was smiling at him a second ago.

............。 So many people were killed.

............。 Those people, after decades of training, were so easily killed. The giant's face smiled even more.

............。 Damn it...................

............。 Unforgivable............

Unwarranted anger and pure murderous intent surged in his heart.

"MAGIA-Chronic-Blade-VON!" I said as I uttered the spell of the silver dagger against demons.

"Zi-" The magic power instantly expanded towards the tip of the blade along the lines of the dagger.

............。 How can you succeed!

As if reading my movements, the giant raised its huge arms again.

Ahhh

"Goo. ”

The next moment, he rushed forward at a rapid pace.

The scenery around him turned into light and receded to the rear. The oncoming wind carried a strong smell of blood.

"Uhhh

The large, exaggerated blade of the axe swings horizontally.

“Time－Acceria－I"

In an instant, the body is like a jet, accelerating to the end in one breath.

There's a gap on the right!

"Zi-" quickly dodge in a large arc to the right.

The blade of the axe swept past it like the white light of death. It didn't hit the ground hard, but lifted it upward. Once again, it was firmly on the giant's shoulder.

The giant's movements used to have a lot of free periods, but at this moment, there are no flaws.

I see, is this what he really is?

Or is there also a more powerful ability that has been hidden and not revealed?

I swallowed hard.

Even so, fight!

The distance to the giant is getting closer, to be precise, in the middle of the combat radius of the giant axe.

I clenched the silver dagger in both hands.

Walk with the wind.

At this time, the giant had already swung the second blow diagonally without any gaps. Lower than the height of the first hit.

See through my way of circumvention?

As long as I lower the height and split horizontally, no matter where I flee, I will inevitably be cut in half.

But.

How naïve!

Seeing that the white light of death was approaching, I pressed my body down and slid forward with the speed gained by the enchantment acceleration magic.

In the next second, the axe blade swept mercilessly over his face. A strand of hair on the forehead was cut off abruptly.

"Buster-Accessria!"

The field of vision instantly widened, and the endless forest sea and the glow on the horizon were unobstructed.

Endless birds hover freely in the distance.

Standing on top of the mountain with asters, you can witness the magnificent sunset.

"I, I had a wish a long time ago" sounded in my ears like a silver bell.

"-I want to be a bird. "

"Alas, alas, why. I asked, puzzled.

This guy would have such a ridiculous idea.

- "Because the bird has wings and can fly freely above the sky." ”

"Not bound by anything. ”

- No one bothered again. Single-mindedly chasing the light of one's own life. ”

- "What a wonderful thing it is—Alan thinks so too." She turned her face and smiled a little confused. The white and smooth skin is reflected with golden rays, shining with a calming glow like white silk.

Her figure is like a polished marble sculpture that has been polished smooth and clean, and the word beauty is fully embodied.

"........................ It's hard to be a bird, and I'm explaining my opinion as if nothing happened.

"I'm always worried about my next habitat. ”

"The feathers on your body are the most precious treasures that are better than life. ”

"If it had been in a fight, or in a storm, and had lost most of its feathers and fallen to the ground. The sky that belongs to you does not exist. ”

I took a deep breath.

"Next, just close your eyes, and soon other creatures will come and pick up your mutilated body. ”

- "Ah...... What ...... said," she folded her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes quietly

- "Those things...... It's not important anymore......"

- "For being able to touch the blue sky of the lake is in itself the most priceless thing God has ever given me. ”

- "No matter how beautiful a flower is, there will always be a time when it will wither." ”

- "Until then, experience the passage of time in a good way, this is the first light of life. ”

"Ah............. "After hearing such holy and clear words, I felt a little trance in my heart.

"Freedom...... Is it?"

In mid-air, I lifted the dagger above my head with all my might.

“TimeAcceria－Double－Remix－To－BLADE！"

Recite the second magic jet aria in your heart.

The tip of the silver blade condensed a huge amount of magical power and flowed silver jets from time to time.

Keep your eyes on the giant's hateful face.

At the same time, it is undeniable that the giant quickly retreats his arms. The final blow is about to be delivered...... Ahhhh......h I was in the air, and I couldn't dodge it anymore.

The heart is as calm as water.

"Bird...... ............. It's ......," I said with a wry smile.

Let's end it.

I closed my eyes and accelerated forward.

The air stream carried by the giant axe blew in his face.

The past flashed through my mind at great speed.
