Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

「――『Tera Sagitta』!」

Kyouko launched an attack without a shred of hesitation.

The two knights were carrying shields in their left hand, axe, and spear in their right hand respectively.
Since they’re using close combat weapons, a long-distance attack with magic was an obvious choice to stop them from approaching, or kill them before that.
That was Kyouko’s simplest yet most effective tactic.

The reason for her to do that was that even from that distance, Kyouko knew that the two knights before them were extremely dangerous opponents.

The earth bullet went straight towards the knight.
Following that was the loud metallic sound that resounded in the passage.

「NO WAY, THEY’RE UNSCATHED!?」

Upon a closer look, the knight with a spear set their shield.
And there was a dent in the center of the shield which Kyouko and Co assumed as the place which got hit by 『Tera Sagitta』.

And that’s the end of the attack which was delivered by Kyouko with her all.
In short, no damage.

「Back off, you girls won’t stand a chance against them.」

「B-But!!」

「I mean, we also want to fight!」

「I said back off.」

Jury and Mary weren’t stupid enough to realize that was the last warning from Ryuuichi.

It wasn’t like they’re trying to show their power to Ryuuichi, it was just their pride as 『Warrior』 and 『Knight』.
They wanted to show Ryuuichi that they’re not just helpless girls in front of powerful enemies.

But Ryuuichi had no intention of letting them fight the two knights.
It was neither kindness nor affection.
His eyes were glaring at the two knights in front of him.

To sum it up, when he told them to 「Back off」, it simply meant 「Don’t disturb my fight」.

「Here I come, armor ba*tard.
Let’s see if you can withstand this――」

Ryuuichi’s lips lifted up forming a ferocious, war-like smile while he took out his 『King Sword』 from 『Treasury』.

His crimson greatsword that absorbed the power of red firedrake was swung weightlessly with one hand.
Seeing that, the knights raised their shields like before.

「――RAAAGH!」

Following that, an explosive sound, almost twice as loud as the previous one, resounded in the passage.
The cause of that explosive sound wasn’t just the superhuman strength that swung the sword, but the weight of the sword itself added more power into that slash.

Against such destructive force, the shield, and the body of the huge knight that was holding it, got slightly distorted in one hit.

But that was all it did.
The shield and the knights holding it still maintained shape, albeit a little bit distorted.

Now, as if to say it was their turn, the spear-wielding knight was charging forward―― only to be greeted by Ryuuichi’s kick which came even faster.

「They’re lighter than what I imagined…」

The spear-wielding knight whose lance charge got canceled by Ryuuichi’s kick got blown back.

Ryuuichi initially thought that the knight would fall on their rear upon receiving his kick, only to see them blown back.
It seemed the margin of error between his eye measurement and real weight was really big.
Moreover, the recoil he felt when he kicked the knight was enough hint for him to guess the answer.

「I see, there’s nothing inside those armors, huh.」

They were hollow armor and helmet monsters loitering around aimlessly.
Though Ryuuichi remembered that armor monster in the RPG game that he played during his childhood, he forgot about their name.

「So that means these guys have no head, heart, or weak spot huh.」

The axe-wielding knight was rushing towards Ryuuichi while the latter was pondering about the weakness of his opponent.

But the huge blade of the battle axe that swung from above was blocked way too easily by Ryuuichi’s king’s sword.
The piercing sound of clashing metals resounded as the axe and greatsword were locking each other.

「So annoying, let’s just hit it randomly then.」

After he had decided on how to defeat his foes, Ryuuichi started pushing back the axe-wielding knight.
As countless sparks flew from the point of contact between the axe’s blade and sword’s blade, the king’s sword became even hotter.
Its scarlet blade grew hotter and hotter until it almost turned pure white and―― BOOM! the firedrake power in king’s sword finally exploded.

Following that, a, no, twice, thrice, four consecutive attacks from scorching great assailed the axe-wielding knight.

Pale, white smokes rose from the decapitated steel armor instead of blood.
Right arm, left arm, thick waist armor, and neck.

「Well, I guess that’s it.」

The axe-wielding knight who just got dissected by Ryuuichi crumbled down on the spot.
It seemed that it already had no power to raise its arms.

「If the underling is this tough, I guess I can have some expectation for the boss in this area.」

Ryuuichi muttered with a satisfied look on his face as he decapitated the spear-wielding knight who was rushing to avenge their comrade.
