Chapter 317 Strongest Sage, Gives Order
" . . . What the h.e.l.l happened? Didja use chantless magic?"
With my sword on his nape, Giruas sounded perplexed .
I deployed no magic in our match, no physical reinforcement, no advanced magic, no nothing .
I simply stepped forward, evaded his sword with pure [Techniques], and thrust my sword forward .
No mana was used in the least .
Since there"s a high chance of the demon finding us were I used any magic except for Physical Reinforcement .
"Not at all . That was merely a swordsmanship technique . "
I held back on purpose the last time I fought Giruas, and also partly for teaching him the might of chantless magic .
In reality, swordsmanship alone is more than enough for me to win against Giruas .
"So I still can"t make you get serious even now huh . . . "
Giruas has grown stronger than the last time we met .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntI can see that very well just from that instantaneous match .
And it"s not only on magic side, his swordsmanship has seen a major improvement as well .
He must have undergone a ma.s.sive amount of training since our last encounter .
And the results clearly show .
He"s gotten much more powerful incomparable to his previous self .
That"s precisely why Giruas understands very well the vast gap between us .
The more powerful a combatant becomes, the easier for them to grasp the difference in capabilities between them and their opponent .
"You got that right . . . And even I would have a hard time fighting against the demon lurking in this town in a frontal battle . . . Do you get the degree of this demon"s strength if I tell you that?"
" . . . Well dang, I definitely ain"t a match that"s for sure . Gotta get more training first . "
Looks like he"s given up .
However . . . I can"t have him leave now .
I need Giruas to do something .
"Hold on . Did you forget about my request?"
" . . . Shoot it . I"ll do anything within my power . "Giruas halted and asked me back when I said that .
Looks like he"s willing to do it .
"I"d like you to help us acquiring a weapon . "
" . . . Weapon?"
"Yeah . There"s a valuable weapon hidden in this town lord"s mansion . . . The demon is staying in this town to guard that weapon . "
Hearing that . . . Giruas looked like he got what was going on .
Then he grinned . . . and spoke .
"I got ya . I"m gonna act as a decoy and fight the demon while you guys go grab that weapon, am I right?"
. . . Almost there .
The plan is correct, but he"s got the roles mixed up .
"It"s the opposite . Us four will fight the demon attracting its attention away . In the meantime, you fetch a coffin where the weapon is inside the mansion and hand it over to me . . . I"ll fill you on the weapon"s location after this . "
"Fetch a coffin . . . Ya tellin" me to let you guys have all the fun fightin" while I"m stuck carrying some luggage?"
Giruas asked me back with a perplexed look on his face .
But that"s exactly what I"m asking .
"Yeah . . . You said you"d do anything right?"
"Well yeah, but y"know . . . Can"t ya let me in a bit of the fight?"
"You"re dead meat if you did . It won"t even be a fight . "
Then I take a stance with my sword again .
Giruas recalled how he was soundly beaten when he saw that .
"Dangit, so I"m that powerless . . . Eh fine, I"m gonna fetch ya that coffin sword or something . "
Looks like he gets the plan .
[Coffin of Sealing] is pretty heavy . . . But he should be able to carry it somehow .
The movement jamming of [Coffin of Sealing] won"t activate as long as it"s within 50 meters of its initial installed location, so even brute force can carry it .
Once Giruas brings me the coffin, I will take care of the rest .
"Sorry about this, you"re a big help . "
" . . . Imma make you carry my luggage next time . Just you wait . "
"Yeah . I"ll look forward to it . "
I really do look forward to his next growth .
Not many people as blessed as Giruas in swordsmanship .
Hence I can"t let him die here .
