The Ghost Clan has been standing at the top of Crescent Continent's combat power since ancient times, and not just because of its huge physique.

In fact, from the point of view of the Rigals, the proportions of the oni are closer to those of dwarves than magnified humans.

Generally taller than two and a half meters, if the skeleton structure of a human is similar, it will appear too slender, and even if the physique can bring about an increase in strength, it will definitely not be able to achieve the strong physical ability of the ghost clan to easily climb over a three- or five-meter-high house.

Their skeletons are sturdier than those of humans of the same height, and their larger skulls give them sturdy skulls. The proportions of the stubby limbs mean that the bones have a larger muscular attachment surface, and the dwarves of the Rigal world have always been known for their short stature but great strength, and the ghost tribes of Crescent Island are like enlarged dwarves.

During the growth period, the weight of the ghost clan children who are the same height as the adult humans can be 5 to 8 percent higher, and the ghost clan, which is more than 2.5 meters tall when fully adult, can be easily smashed even if the Rigal knights are far thicker than the samurai.

This difference in muscle density gives the Oni Clan a brute force that humans can't match, and it also allows them to withstand the impact of landing vertically from a distance of about ten meters without any damage.

The battle was unfair, and the samurai looked at Henry like fools, because even he was an out-of-the-box opponent.

But Mira and Kaleva don't have much to worry about.

Because Henry is also a super-qualified being.

"Bang-huh-" The hardwood gold rod swung at an astonishing speed struck Henry before Kramer could get within striking distance, and so did the sage.

"When!!————!" Kramer, wielding from the bottom up, came into contact with a huge blunt object, a strange image occurred.

The thin blade slashed into the already broken hardwood blunt weapon like butter, and then the runes on the sage's body shone through his clothes, and the entire golden rod was pressed down.

"Tsk-" The ghost, whose eyes were still glowing red, smacked his tongue slightly, and then cleanly discarded the golden rod, and with a "——!bang", he pulled out the scarred knife from his waist, but larger than Kramer's.

The thick blunt object fell down with Kramer, who was still slashing at it, and made a loud "thump!" sound when it touched the ground, and the ghost reacted very quickly, and after discovering that Kramer could cut through the hardwood, he immediately let go and let Henry's greatsword stuck on the golden rod and be carried down, and at the same time, he immediately pulled out his sword and killed him. "When!!" said the sage, with a quick kick of his foot, drew his sword, and then met the slash that came from the drawn.

The "Qiang ——!" was full of gilt decoration but the scarred sword let out a mournful roar under the collision with Kramer, and a gap immediately appeared at the place where the two blades met, obviously having a full advantage in size, but obviously its performance was still slightly inferior to this big sword.

Two times in a row, if it were an ordinary human, even a person with a sword would be knocked away, Henry steadily parried.

The samurai were stunned by the swaying firelight that spread around them, and even the demons on the other side were slightly stunned that their attacks would not work.

- And the sage, did not let go of this gap.

"Bang!!"

He decisively turned the tip of the sword, and after a circle, the great sword stabbed towards the demon god's carcass as he pushed the great sword outward.

With the "Bang !!" auxiliary magic running at full speed, the sage's stab has an astonishing impact.

The stab of the "Click——! Gun Charge pierced the surface of the armor and successfully injured the opponent, but he did not greed for the knife, and with a strong twist to widen the hole in the armor to prevent the blade from getting stuck, he immediately pulled out Kramer and stepped back.

"Ahh

"When !! buzz—" The gauntlet made of the same material as the blade was unscathed by the powerful attack, but the force of a one-handed slash alone was enough to make the entire sword tremble. The sage closed his eyes slightly, feeling the numbness of the tiger's mouth and fingertips quickly dissipate under the effect of the enhanced magic.

"Good, strong. ”

Foolproof. It's the only adjective that comes to mind in the group behind her.

In an instant, just a few encounters showed the level of the two sides - they were so close in terms of physique, experience, and even equipment that this duel was very much like what the samurai would see at a jousting tournament.

"Maybe we can win—" The stunned samurai forgot to turn and run away, and some even whispered.

But some people with better eyesight noticed that something was wrong.

"Why has the gentleman been .......," Narumi frowned.

"Take a defensive stance. Yajiro's eyes narrowed as Henry would have done when he was concentrating - the sage had always lowered his center of gravity from the beginning, and his arms were retracted to form a solid position in the lower or middle section of his body, and he did not take the more aggressive upper and lower slashes - although the height of both sides may have been a reason, but the 1.95-meter Henry holding the 1.5-meter Kramer could have used the upper section to attack the more lethal parts of the head and shoulders of the demons.

If an enemy with a similar level is to take an active offensive to break the balance and avoid falling into a war of attrition back and forth, it is better than Henry Mayer who is not ignorant of this, but he still adopts an extremely conservative defensive posture, and there is only one reason for this-

"What is he watching out for?" asked the great god the question in everyone's hearts.

"Shhh

"Prepare to run, spread out and don't go in one direction," said Henry, who was in front of him, without looking back.

"But it's not like running—" Even Narumi, who has always been calm, is a little unassertive at this time.

"I don't have to be able to stop it. Henry's rare use of ambiguity made the confidence of those behind him begin to waver.

The red light on the ghost's body began to intensify, and then began to spread to the surroundings with a rhythm like a heartbeat. At this time, not only Mitya, but also the girl Roan began to feel serious discomfort due to the influence of the magic power.

"Let's go!" said Caleva as he came over to support Mira, and Yajiro shouted loudly as the samurai were in a panic.

"Shhh

"Ah!!——!!h

The two-meter-and-five-meter-tall body of the "Dong ——!" is full of heavy armor, but its speed is far faster than the light cavalry sprinting.

The combination of high speed and strength of "Bang !!" strengthened each other, which was beyond the reach of any human swordsman.

The red runes that lit up under the armor were very similar to the blue glowing runes on the sage's body, and it was clear that the ghost had used some kind of similar enhanced magic—was that what he had been guarding against?—— the only instinctive thought that came to mind the minds of those who stared blankly at all of this.

"Snort——!" The one-meter-nine-long Datai sword was lit up with a crimson brilliance, like cherry blossoms dancing in the sky, and the seemingly frantic but actually extremely orderly swordsmanship fell madly towards the sage in front of him.

The sound of metal colliding and sparks rang out one after another, and it was clearly a nearly two-meter-long big sword, but it was swung so fast that the runes above were drawn one after another.

- Suppressed.

Henry was suppressed.

"Physical ability" made up of physique and strength, "skill" made up of experience, talent, training, and finally equipment—two people who had reached an equal balance in three aspects of strength and weakness are now using enhanced magic similar to that of a sage.

The balance was broken, and the teacher was at a disadvantage - Mira, who had been very uncomfortable due to the interference of her magic, pursed her lips and suddenly stood still.

"Mira?" Galeva, who was holding her, felt the actions of the Roan Maiden.

"Nerd, give me the gun. She pushed Kaleva away, then rolled over and climbed onto Mitya's back, patting the restless unicorn. "What are you going to do, we can only add to the chaos. Yajiro behind him shouted eagerly, and Kaleva was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously handed the spear in his hand to the Luoan girl.

"It's better to say it's a mess. "My hands were shaking, and I didn't know if it was magic or fear.

She untied her straps and tied the spear to her forearm.

There are limits to what you can do, but it's not all you can do.

Originally an equal opponent, the opponent used a hidden killer weapon to upset the balance - so what needed to be done was already clear.

All the teacher needs is a chance, a chance to break the ice.

Human strength is not enough, but she is not alone in the fight. Swords can't do anything against armor, but Mira, who was born in Rigal, knows the strongest individual force in the world today.

"Pleduwaki, Mitya. The girl Luo'an, who leaned down and whispered in the unicorn's ear, conveyed the will in her heart through the exchange of hearts.

Mitya's body began to glow a faint white light, and she no longer showed uneasiness, but a serene and peaceful appearance.

It seems that the next step is not to fight a strong enemy, but to return to his hometown.

The spear was flattened, and the unicorn stepped forward.

"Boom!!" the half-ton horse charged with strong steps, and Mira, who was firmly on the gun, stared at her target in the strong wind without blinking.

Henry noticed the movement, and in an instant he knew his disciple's intentions.

"Shhh

Changed from a defensive mid-position sword to a shoulder-high lift.

Rigal sword skills.

Fury.

"Woo ——!!" Kramer's smooth blade half reflected blue light and half red light, slashing with force from top to bottom, but Henry was not aiming at the carcass of the Onigods—it was the great sword that had been scarred before the battle with Kramer.

"When ——!!" "Click!!" The narrow blade of the sword snapped before it could hit the girl of Luoan, and Mira didn't even close her eyes as if she knew that her teacher would do the same.

"Step, step, "Knock, !!" The wind blew the white hair of the Luo An girl around, but the eyes under the sea were fearless.

The spear struck a hole in the armpit of the carcass's sideways and managed to stab it with the help of the powerful charge of the half-ton unicorn.

"Smack!!" The cloth strap tied to the forearm straightened and tore, and with it the shaft of the spear broke.

"Uh-" The recoil directly shook Mira to the right rear, but Mitya, who was in a similar position, immediately adjusted her posture and turned to prevent her from falling off her horse and pulled away.

"Ahhh

"Come, Come!" the voice he had heard once sounded with a hint of weakness, and then the lightning in the sky, which was still dazzling, went straight to the sage.

"Boom!!" "Teacher-" The Luoan girl who turned around looked at the place where Henry had been and instantly brightened up as day.

The smell of burning filled the air, and a raging fire ignited in an instant where the thunder fell.

"Ha-ha-" Several tattered shrine maidens walked out of the woods with each other's arms, Mira's eyes widened, and a long-lost sense of unease appeared in her heart.

Countless images began to echo in her mind, and she tried to deny them while she couldn't help but think about them repeatedly.

What would it be like to live the rest of my life without him.

Henry was of course invincible in her eyes, but this powerful lightning strike that could burn ghouls to ashes even he was-

"What are you, no, something—" The shrine maidens looked at the sage who was still standing in front of the wounded ghost.

The flames gradually extinguished, as the vicinity had been scorched once before.

Lightning flashed across Kramer's blade, and the blue glow of Henry's body faded the moment the flames went out.

He raised his gray-blue eyes and looked at the broken army in front of him.

"Tenjinwen. The shrine maiden who had used the lightning strike at the head looked at the fading glow on Henry's body in a daze, and she clearly recognized the meaning of the runes.

"How is that possible, messenger of God, but even we have been cut off from God for four thousand years, let alone a foreign nation. ”

"Ahh The moment the scrambled witches lit up again on the ghosts, they rushed up and took out some magic weapons to do something, and then someone lit the incense, Mira frowned and sniffed the smell, feeling a little familiar.

"Hoo-ha-ha-temporarily, temporarily, controlled. The red light dimmed little by little, and the relieved shrine maidens all collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and the samurai in front of them saw that the situation was finally quiet and picked up torches and walked back, and they were all stunned for a moment when they lit up the tattered shrine maidens.

"Miko-sama!" The next second, under the leadership of Narumi, all the samurai knelt on one knee, and the shrine maiden led by him glanced weakly with the bandage wrapped around the side: "Yes, my own people." ”

"Really. She shook her head and sighed.

"It's a good oolong. ”

"......." Henry silently put away Kramer, who was still flashing with electricity, and then met Mira's eyes as she sat on top of the unicorn.

"Hey, hey. Miss Luo An smiled triumphantly.

"Stupid. The sage sighed as he looked at her right hand, which was bruised and trembling from overexertion.
