“I don’t mind fighting you but I want to refrain from doing it now.”

“May I ask why?”

“First, we have Miss Finne with us. Second, I’ve already used transfer magic many times today. I don’t want to spend more of my magic power than necessary.”

Hearing my reasons, Noname nodded.

He then walked to the underground experimental site.

When I was wondering what he is intending to do, Noname broke the door and went inside.

“So the concept of normally opening the door doesn’t exist for him huh…..”

“He’s quite free-spirit isn’t he……”

When I and Finne were astounded at his action, Noname came back with something in his hand. Perhaps it was his goal in capturing this dungeon.

Then, Noname throws it at me.

“This is……”

“It is a bracelet with jewels installed on it. It is filled with magic power so it should take over the burden of magic power consumption. You should know how to use one, no?”

“Of course, I know……….but this kind of magic tool is quite valuable you know?”

“You can use it. I can give you the items behind that door as well. The Dis Pater also has its own taste you see. Unless its prey can move, the efficiency of the magic power absorption rate isn’t so good. I have no need for a magic tool like this one.”

He really couldn’t care less about anything other than his magic sword huh.

The giant armored doll that Noname took down earlier must have been protecting many experimental magic tools lying behind that door.

But Noname has no interest in any of that. No matter how valuable it is, if it doesn’t help raise the level of his magic sword, it’s just a junk item to him.

It is not that bad of a deal for me. I can gain Noname’s cooperation and even get my hands on valuable magic tools.

However, I hesitate to fight Noname right now.

“Just how much do you want to fight me?”

“It is not that I want to fight you. I only want to see the power of Dis Pater. Besides, if I leave this fight for later, you might run away using transfer magic after all. I do not wish to get cheated on you see.”

If it’s now, you will take me on seriously right?

Saying so, Noname points the Dis Pater at me.

It seems unless I face him, he won’t let us leave huh.

“Miss Finne. Can you head back first?”

“However……”

“If you are here, I can’t fight.”

“……I understand.”

Finne seems like she wanted to stay but once I said that to her, she gives up and takes a step back.

Sorry, but if you get injured then we won’t be able to win the inquiry.

I open the transfer gate back to the Guild Headquarters.

“……I pray that you won’t get hurt.”

“I will try to avoid that as much as I can.”

Saying so, Finne entered the transfer gate and returned to the Guild Headquarters.

The only ones left were me and Noname.

I sigh and put on the bracelet.

Good grief. And I have been putting in efforts to avoid a direct fight with SS-rank adventurers too.

So he’s the only one that I can’t avoid a fight with huh.

“Noname. I have one thing to say before we fight.”

“What is it?”

“You can’t complain even if that mask got peeled off your face you know?”

“That’s exactly how I want it.”

At that moment.

The magic power of me and Noname swelled up and the underground experimental site began to tremble.

“Here I go.”

Saying so, Noname immediately closed the distance.

I parried away the Dis Pater that was swung at me with no hesitation with multiple barriers.

The Dis Pater made contact with the barrier and the barriers were cut down like paper.

Judging that the barriers won’t be able to take the blow from his sword, I cast a spell toward the Dis Pater.

[[Descend to me, the Thunder of Blood——–Bloody Lightning]]

A giant reddish-black thunder hits the Dis Pater and causes an explosion.

The impact from the explosion causes the ground of the underground experiment site to violently shake.

This is a challenge to see whether Noname will be satisfied first or the facility will collapse first.

I kicked the ground and let the wind pressure from the explosion carry me away from him to widen the distance and look back at the smoke risen from the explosion.

He isn’t someone who would fold with only something at that level.

Sure enough, Noname’s figure slowly appeared from the smoke. And of course, there is not even a single scratch on him.

“How was it? My blow compared to the Holy Sword’s.”

“It can’t be compared to that as it is now. If the prodigy of the Brave Family used the Holy Sword to attack me at that distance, I would not be able to escape unscathed.”

“I see. The Holy Sword sure is scary isn’t it. As expected.”

While saying so, Noname gathers magic power into the Dis Pater.

Even while praising the Holy Sword, it seems he has no intention to lose at all.

In truth, the power of Noname is not only at this level.

The nickname of [Void Crusher] was given to him because he could destroy everything that exists just by wielding the Dis Pater.

If Noname was serious then the armored dolls guarding this facility would not remain intact.

There’s no doubt that he held back quite a bit in the earlier attack.

I don’t know the full extent of Dis Pater’s ability but I know its type. It does not change its shape like Lynfia’s magic sword nor manipulate attribute magic like Ignat’s.

It has no petty trick. Like the Holy Sword, it is a magic sword that will destroy its target with overwhelming power. That’s the basis of Dis Pater.

However, even while gathering magic power inside Dis Pater, Noname does not take the stance to unleash it.

“What’s wrong? If you are worried about this place then this will take forever you know?”

“This place would collapse if I don’t pay attention after all. Before that, I will have to hear your opinion about something first.”

“What kind of opinion?”

“Whether my swordsmanship—– is inferior to that of Elna von Amsberg.”

At that moment, he took my back.

He moved at a speed that exceeded the detection range of my barrier huh.

I hurriedly concentrate a huge amount of magic power on my right hand.

And with that right hand, I turn around and catch the Dis Pater.

“As expected of you, Silver.”

“I’d like to say the same. I don’t really want to do this you see.”

Right now, most of my magic power is concentrated on my right hand. That was why I can catch the Dis Pater. However, this is no way for me to fight.

If I concentrate my magic power on my right hand, the other parts of my body will be defenseless.

It would be one thing if I am an expert martial artist but no matter how much I strengthen my body, I can’t fix how clueless I am in martial arts.

Even if the power of my right hand is equal to that of a famous magic sword, the user’s movement still remains sloppy.

That’s why I immediately take my distance.

Noname is trying to close the distance again, so to put him in check, I cast magic toward him without chanting.

A myriad of small light magic bullets appeared around me and headed toward Noname at high speed.

Originally, this is a spell for a situation where I have to face multiple opponents at the same time but to put Noname’s movement in check, this number of bullets is required.

However.

“Tsk…..!”

“You are skilled at this.”

While saying so, Noname continues to approach me without receiving any of the light bullets.

Still, the distance between me and Noname does not change much. Noname is still a distance away from me.

Even with this many bullets, he couldn’t be stopped huh.

As expected of someone who is seriously trying to surpass the Holy Sword. It is nothing less of someone who wants to surpass the Brave House.

In other words, this guy’s goal is to defeat Elna.

“I shall admit it. Your goal is not just a fleeting dream.—–However, that female hero is still stronger.”

Saying so, I snap my finger.

Earlier, when I kicked the ground to ride the blastwave.

I set up a stationary type barrier.

Its name is the Pillar Barrier.

Noname was captured by a pillar of light protruding from the ground.

Its range is narrow and it is a spell that has little use because of its scale but it is quite suitable against a strong opponent.

Now then, allow me to widen the distance.

Saying so, I keep getting further away from Noname.
