196 Shadow Scythe
"If you lose anyway, there's nothing left to do...can I ask for your share as well?"
Rosemary hands me a flask and a set of magic stones.
"I don't mind. Even if I accept it, it's just as I promised earlier."
Orgius shrugged his shoulders and said that.
...I don't like it at all.
The magician who made the contract with this guy must have been dead long ago, but he probably didn't set a deadline in the contract to keep the book in order to preserve his own enjoyment.
The result is what I saw in town. The remains of people whose souls have been worn out and become mere wandering shadows. Many people fought against the devil, or gave up and died in despair. Even so, he is not released and spends a long time being used as a toy.
This guy--I can't get away with it for free.
"...Okay. I'll go in a bit."
Set up a defensive field around Rosemary and receive the flask and magic stone. To prevent the glass from breaking, I reinforced it with earth magic and tied it around my waist with a string. Then, he walked towards Orzius at a slow pace.
Darkness lingers in Orzius' hands. A huge scythe was pulled out of it. The other side also uses weapons. The scythe whirled around in Orzius's hands, cutting through the wind like a baton.
Set up your Ouroboros and increase your magical power. The moment I prepared to step in, Orgius slammed the tip of his scythe into the shadow that stretched out at his feet. As if in response, a blade flies out from Orgius's elongated shadow head.
Stop the tip with the shield and step in all at once. Orgius, who pulled back from the shadows, received it. Ouroboros and the scythe collided, sparks flying.
“You have to do it!”
Orgius's voice seemed to be happy that he had been dealt with.
Despite claiming to be fair, the first move was a surprise attack from the front. As for this guy, even if he were to kill me in one breath, he would still be able to enjoy the struggle because Rosemary was there.
I said we would fight as equals, but that is a prerequisite. Once you face each other like this, there are no rules. Of course anything is possible.
A double-edged scythe. You can freely cut it with the inside blade or mow it down with the outside blade. After hitting each other's gains several times, the stone thrust of the scythe jumps up. The sharp tip, like the tip of a spear, passed through the space at the tip of his nose and circled around Orzius' body. The blade attacks Yokonagi from a blind spot hidden in the shadow of the body. A winding orbit. If you step in and receive it, the blade will be pulled back from behind, and if you move away, you won't be able to counterattack. That's why I went so far as to ram my body into it.
Make Ouroboros jump up from below and aim for the arm that holds the sickle. He hits the area around the elbow, disrupting the trajectory of the scythe, and then delivers a front kick. All you have to do is touch it. Regardless of whether it can be defended or not, the plan is to hit it with a magical shock the moment it touches it and then cut it down.
However, Orzius does not force a counterattack or defense. When his arm was launched, he let go of the scythe and took a large step back. It's a counterattack while evading. After a pause, the scythe comes back spinning from behind. This one jumps backwards and turns in the air. Jump over the scythe and kick the shield without waiting for it to land.
Owl wings appear on Orzius' back. Fly into the sky and leave. Kill the inertia with Levitation and fly at right angles to chase Orgeus.
"It's really interesting to see something that is completely human! Let me ask you your name!"
"It's Theodore!"
Cut and tie in the air. Crossing several attacks. A resounding metal sound.
As he was about to leave, Orgius made a gesture as if mowing him down from below with his wings. Feathers fly at the speed of an armor-piercing bullet. Deviation shooting in 3 directions. Use Ouroboros to knock down only the feathers that flew straight at you.
The remaining two feathers easily penetrated the marble floor.
A clash between both sides. The swords were fighting each other, but the blade of the scythe retracted and the blade appeared from the opposite end--the stone end. The scythe was swung up from below as if it were sliding on Ouroboros, and I used the shield to create a rail, deflecting it upwards. He slammed the dragon staff into his now empty side.
"Argh!"
It is hit hard, but even as it is blown away, it scatters its feathers and prevents it from pursuing. Transformation transformation. Thin blade-like feathers grazed the tip of my eyes and nose.
It splits and intersects with the mirage body to the left and right. I can't get through. I had expected it since it was a spiritual life form, but... this guy was aiming exactly at me.
Multiple black spheres are released around Orsius. As if it had a will, it flies around like a satellite, keeping a certain distance from Orgius itself.
A black hole appears in front of him, and he slams his scythe into it. A scythe blade flies out from a black sphere that was approaching in a circular orbit towards me. Feather bullets are fired to block the escape route. He only rotates his neck to let the feather pass through, blocks the scythe with his shield, and at the same time hits it back with a shocking blow. Orgius, who was supposed to be in a far away position, was struck by the arm.
The sphere that traces the satellite orbit seems to ignore the Ouroboros and the shield and slip through. It itself has no offensive power, just a dark sphere. Its purpose is to assist in attacks. It's probably the same technique that used him to attack from shadow to shadow in his first move. Feather bullets were flying into the black sphere, but they did not transfer. I'm not sure if it's possible or not, but it's certain that the scythe blade can be transferred from shadow to shadow created by Orzius.
Keep a distance and turn around. A hot sensation on my cheeks. It seems that the feathers were scratched.
...Has a variety of unusual attack methods. I can't relax.
So, be sharper and faster. It's even stronger. I'll step over this guy and move on. circulation circulation circulation circulation. He bares his fangs and laughs, increasing and sharpening his magical power.
"It's great to see that you're having fun! I'm having fun too! It's making me wake up!"
Orzius spins his sickle like a windmill. I opened my eyes and shook my shoulders.
"Kukuku! I'm really curious as to how you got to that point! You'll become a very valuable item in my collection!"
"Try it!"
They roar and thrust into each other. A collision, a shock. A sickle has no blade. It didn't move to the stone tip, but a dark sphere stuck to the tip and swallowed it. A sickle blade comes out from another dark sphere that flies from behind, approaching to cut my body in half.
Deploy a shield behind you. The moment it touches him, it hits him with a shock, but this time he seems to have expected it, and Orzius doesn't retreat. As it is, he presses me down from the front and uses his strength to cut me in half from behind.
Deploy multiple shields. When the Ouroboros and the scythe were balanced with sparks flying between them, they fired a lightning bolt at Orgius' face. At exactly the same time, a flash of magical power is emitted from its beak. There was an explosion and it was repelled. When Orzius retreats, the blade also retracts. Instantly reversed. It slips through the feather bullets that fly through the blast, and exchanges slashes and blows while flying around at top speed.
Blades fly horizontally and vertically. Feathers rain down. Dodge, catch, let go, dive, and hit again and again. Although it was supposed to be just one weapon, Orzius' skill in manipulating it so that the handle and blade were separated was quite impressive. Even if you keep cutting the knot, the sin will not be revealed.
Pushing his whole body against Orgius, who caught him with the hilt, he head-butted him. There was no damage to me since I had a shield deployed on my forehead, but Orzius stepped back as if he was taken aback.
“Hello!!”
Enraged. A sickle swinging down from above. A dark sphere cuts into the path of the slash and the blade transfers. The tip approaches from directly below. As I tried to receive it, it was blown away like an Ouroboros being hoisted up. I cut back, and this time the blade approaches from right next to me.
I raise my hand, but the shield is pierced. A shield without Ouroboros cannot withstand it. I grit my teeth and catch the tip of the scythe in my palm. Penetrates the palm. Orgius narrowed his eyes at the response.
“Let’s just hold onto your arm like this!”
As he said that and tried to use his strength――Orgeus froze. This is all part of the calculation.
It doesn't move. Grasp the palm that penetrated and secure it from all sides with a shield. Its movements are completely blocked so that it cannot be returned or cut.
This strategy even makes you think that it cannot be prevented by a shield. When Orgius saw my smile, he immediately let go of the scythe and tried to leave. Since the scythe can be flown freely, there is no disadvantage to giving it up. That's why--I could tell he was trying to leave.
"Go back!"
"what!?"
This guy isn't the only one who can send weapons flying. Ouroboros lunged at me from behind, making a growling sound as it dug into my back and wouldn't allow me to leave. Ouroboros can only move until my magical power within its body runs out, but that's more than enough.
"Kaaaah!"
While tilting my head to avoid the flash of light emitted from his mouth, I threw the flask and magic stone with my open hand. Right in front of Orgius's face, his eyes widening in shock.
Clench your fist and deploy your shield. As he continued to use the impact blow, the flask and the magic stone shattered at the same time, and green explosive flames engulfed Orgius' face.
“Goooooooooooooooooo!?”
Orgius writhed as his face was burnt by the magical flames. Holding his face, he swung his wings and scattered feather bullets at Muya Cod while leaving the area.
Ignore the few hits. Rush forward in the shortest distance while deploying a huge magic circle. The feathers penetrated his shoulders and grazed his sides. Drawing an arc, I gripped Ouroboros, which had returned to my palm this time, and in a straight line, punched through the center of its body, the pigeon tail.
"Gah!"
Orgius' body bends into a dogleg shape. Hits Ouroboros at the base of the wing, knocking it down to the floor. It's still burning. It's simple to make, but it's a big deal. And then my magic is completed.
“Knock it out!”
A gigantic, white-hot rock appears at the tip of the Ouroboros.
9th class. Combined fire and earth magic - Meteor Hammer. As the dragon staff swings down, a large rock is shot out with ridiculous force from the initial speed. A glowing meteor approaches Orzius, breaking through the sound barrier.
“Oh, oooooooooooooooo!?”
Without being able to avoid it, Orzius was able to block the large rock with his body. It tore through the marble floor like paper, collapsing the throne room from the center. It pierced straight into the depths of the earth, engulfing all the assets downstairs.
