The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

Tall trees block the sunshine, and dim, moist air drifts around.

In the Caucasus forest, the largest forest in the Nagras kingdom, there are only outsiders, such as humans. If it were allowed to exist, it would be a "feed" to be hunted by predators.

"Damn! Why this!"

Irritation Continue to hide from the forest monsters, already three days. They were growing beyond control.

"Please calm down, I don't wait for good results before you lose calm."

"Hmm!"

Sir An older woman, a silver-haired boy hit the wall with annoyance. Three boys and girls sitting around shrug off. Haggling Wherever a silver-haired boy is rampaged, this cave made by nature will not be afraid, but it seems that those who are physically and mentally can withstand the slightest shock.

This is the forest of Caucasus. And they are natural caves scattered in the forest.

In the darkness of sunlight and darkness, lantern flames create shadows for each person. There are seven people sitting down in the cave. There are still five teenage girls and women, and an elderly female merchant.

"Mr. Hanslick, how do you feel about your benefactor who helped?"

A girl with cherry-colored hair sings a silver-haired boy. In contrast to the other boys and girls who are visibly scared, she was the only one who remained in this situation.

"Noisy, Salte! Are you going to tell me?"

"I'm going to do that ..."

"Peachic perch, you're noisy! Don't let things hit you or others just because you're anxious! If you don't even have to do it, you won't have to!"

An elderly woman merchant turned sideways after seeing a boy who was still trying to talk to a sullen girl.

Apparently the age reaches fifty. Although youthful and full of energy, you can't hide the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth. The dark blue hair was gathered like a small tail at the nape.

"Thank you! Is it rude to know me as Hanslick, the second son of the Remshade family?"

"Then don't get out of here by yourself, because I didn't have any responsibility to help you.

Hanslick reluctantly sits down with a curse, saying, “Kissing!”

A girl with cherry-colored hair approaches a woman merchant who looks at the situation with a cold glance. The girl sits in front of the merchant and bows deeply.

Jujutsu: "Sorry, our companion has been rude. If you get kicked out of here, we have no choice but to forgive me."

"Anta, surely Salte? I don't mean to kick you out. I won't kick you out if other kids make me calm. But remember that I have no obligation to help you. I just want to give it. "

"Yes, keep in mind."

Solte bowed again and returned to where her fellow boys and girls were. In a narrow cave. Conversations with the female merchant have been heard by others. Needless to say again from Sorte, the three other than Hanslick had the same idea as Sorte.

All five of them are students of Mariureth Academy in the capital city of Nagras. They belong to the highest grade of graduation this year, and among them are promising stocks that have been recognized for their ability.

The leader, Hanslick, is the second son of Take's prestigious Remscheid family, and is a talented graduate who has made his name at the top of his grade. He is said to be a proud son of the Remshade family who excels at Bunmu and has a strong public interest. Sorte is a unique sister who has been admitted to Mariures Academy while being a church member. He learned the art of healing at the age of fifteen, and is expected in the church to eventually gain the title of Saint. The other three were also top performers in the school and were expected to be active after graduation.

The three men and the two women were good rivals and good companions to each other. There was no one else who could stand up with them because they were outstanding from the students around them. Inevitably, they often acted together, forming parties in small group battles. It is the completion of Mariureth Gakuen Top Team.

There is no one in the school who can meet them. All races won at the school. We showed overwhelming strength.

The spiritually immature boys and girls overestimated their powers while others were honoring them. With six months to graduate from, Hanslick and his colleagues planned an expedition on their last long vacation.

The school does not ban students from expedition. Rather, gaining hands-on experience is encouraged. However, due to safety concerns, it is inevitable that the recommended expedition location will be set according to the student's ability.

The area around the royal city where there are few dangerous creatures, and where rescue is easy to go in case of emergency, are selected. Naturally, places where monsters are present are excluded. Expeditions to places other than those designated by the school were not prohibited, but they were required to hire mercenaries of appropriate abilities as escorts. Caucasus Forest is one such place.

The school's designated expeditions are for regular students only. If you go with your own skills, you will not be trained. A more challenging place, with no escorts, to go with our own strength, and finally to training. Following Hanslick, he went into the forest without hiring an escort.

Only Salte argued that escorts should be hired. However, he was eventually overwhelmed by four other people who said, "If you struggle, go back to the city and hire an escort again." As a result, they misjudged that their power alone was fine.

The map obtained in the city of Tria has some gaps, but it clearly shows the safe route. The whole day after actually entering the forest, the Hanslicks went through the forest without encountering any beast.

Should have had a question at this time. If you knew how dangerous the Caesus Forest was in Nagras Kingdom, one of the best caves, you would have noticed that the situation was strange. However, they were so uplifted that they had no chance to know the terribleness of the forest, and had to go deeper and deeper.

They noticed the mistake only after the third day-the second day into the forest-. Originally, it was a four-day schedule, so it would be bad if you did not return home. But since entering the forest, they have not encountered any other beasts than small herbivores.

This is not training. I can't say it's just a trip. Even if you come back again, you have to fight once before you can decide on future guidelines.

As a result of the discussion, they came to such a conclusion, so they were moving deeper into the forest even after the schedule. At that time, the caution I had when I entered the forest was loosened, and my surroundings were distracted. No one noticed that birds' voices and small herbivores were missing.

Hanslick, the leading man who had pushed through the vegetation and cut off twigs, first found it.

"Hey, that ..."

A black lump appeared in the direction indicated by Hanslick.

Twin sword beast "It's a beast like ..."

One of my friends shows off their knowledge.

"It seems that there is only one.

Hanslick says with a smile overflowing with confidence.

"First, I stand in front. I'll ask for help."

"Oh"

"Yes"

Hanslick signaled the attack following a friend's response.

"Okay, now! Surround!"

Hanslick, who jumped out of the game with his first victory, thrusts his long sword at the double-sword beast. However, Hanslick's blow was hampered by a hard hull and was not hurt.

"Go! Hard!"

The double-sword beast, which was struck by surprise, immediately saw Hanslick as the enemy and threatened with two tusks, the origin of the name, ticking.

"Around and aim for the knot of the skin!"

Hanslick, who has been prevented from a surprise attack, takes a distance and instructs his fellow axes and swordsmen. Sorte and the other girl are separated and are ready to help.

"Oh my god!"

A fellow axe attacks from the side of the double-sword beast, but the raised ax is blocked by a hard hull.

"Slide on hard, this!"

As the ax says, the skin of the double-sword beast is not only its hardness, but its slick surface is washed away by the blade. Even if you press hard, if the angle shifts, the power will be halved.

Hanslick and the other swordsman shot one after another with a staggered timing, but again he was hit by the hull and did not hurt.

Lady: "The wind breaking through is white ----!"

The girl who was waiting with Sorte spells the magic of the wind. The blade of wind, which slashed through the air and attacked, succeeded in cutting off one leg of the double-sword beast, but its outer skin remained intact.

Magically countering the double-sword beast with a hard hull is not wrong.

However, the magic of "Kazekiri" for the purpose of cutting and the sword beast were very incompatible. If this was a "fireball" or "ice block," it would have worked, and at least the "rock" magic would have done more.

It would have been more different if her magic attribute had not been wind.

"One strong ..."

Urgency appears on Hanslick's face.

"Hans! What do you do?"

The axe asks for a decision if he cannot give a valid hit at all. The double-sword beast is certainly hard. Every attack from here is played on its outer skin, and the magical attack that was the mainstay of the battle is not a decisive hit.

But on the other hand, the movement is not so fast. If you escape with all your might, you will not be able to keep up with human feet. Fortunately the opponent is one. Don't worry about going around.

However--.

"We can do as much as the double sword beast! He's not immortal! He must have lost his legs and exhausted his stamina!"

Hanslick did not choose to withdraw.

The feeling was understood by other members. They don't allow their pride, not even hiring a guard mercenary, ignoring the school's designation, coming to dangerous forests that are not recommended, and wrapping up their tails in a single battle.

Even more, the opponent is a double sword beast, which is said to be relatively low risk in the forest of Caucasus. If you could say that your opponent was a demon, your hands and feet did not come out, your reputation as a school expected star will fall to the ground.

Such thoughts clouded their eyes and lost the last opportunity to withdraw. The next moment, a huge object jumps out of the bush behind the double-sword beast. The giant object attacked a double-sword beast surrounded by Hanslicks, and in a blink of an eye, smashed the black hull with a tough jaw.

"What ..."

As the Hansricks stiffen as if they were in a shackle, their torso emerges from behind the bushes.

It was a giant snake of lilac. It is as thick as a human body, and its head alone is slightly larger than a double-sword beast. It was unpredictable how long the torso would remain hidden in the bushes.

The snake holds its twin sword beast firmly with its fangs while twisting its body. Hanslicks freeze their backs as they witness the sword beetle's body squashing, making a creepy noise.

Reason shouted loudly to escape, but he was too terrorized to move. Eventually, the black snake, which was a double-sword beast, slowly swallows, and the giant snake begins turning its hostility toward the Hanslicks.

"Shaaaa!"

The twin sword beasts, whose Hanslicks had no hands or feet, and the giant snakes who predated them very easily, have no chance of winning. There is no choice but to escape, but the Hanslicks' feet have been rocked in front of the overwhelming strong man.

"Now, run away-"

"Kishaaaaa!"

Giant snakes attacked the Hanslicks, triggered by words squeezed out by the axe.

The giant snake's fangs approach the first targeted axe. Immediately before the unavoidable and standing rod-axe was pierced by the fangs, the large shield was blocked to catch the charge.
