It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

28. There are conditions.

A training ground at the Shihei family residence in Tokyo.

“The wine of the giant rock.”

At the same time as the magician’s will was manifested, the magic ceremony had an effect on the world.

Quad Deuk! A crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a large rock protruded from the ground.

The owner of the spell, Sento Sawamura, set the next target while controlling the power in the water.

The so-called target of attack.

The target was a man with a dagger in his hand.

“Go.”

Deuddeuk—! Waves of rock surged at her will and crashed down on her enemies.

The narrow-eyed man, Shiki Ichimaru straightened the dagger with a smile.

“Oh, if you get hit wrong, you die?”

Having said that, he immediately moved his leg and kicked the floor as the rock spell seemed to attack him.

It squeezes its body between the boulders that bounce up and closes the distance.

A skill to dodge spells attacking me from all directions with a fleeting movement.

It was definitely a scene to be nervous about, but he looked very relaxed.

“…… What is dying?”

Sento frowned and prepared for the next technique, while Shiki steadily closed the distance.

It tended to reach the sorcerer before he had cast a spell or two.

Usually, when wizards and sorcerers allow access to opponents, their meaning fades.

Therefore, what is needed is a front-end.

The boy with the sword ran to face the man who was closing the distance.

The target is a man with similarly sinister narrow eyes.

Shortly closing the distance, Kenichi vigorously swung his sword and shouted.

“───Shikiiiii!!!”

With a shout, a greatsword flies.

It wasn’t at the level of a blunt weapon, it was an attack that would kill you instantly if you hit a vital spot like the neck.

Ichimaru Shiki inspected the situation by looking at Kenichi in front of him and everywhere where the rocks were gushing out.

‘Through magic, block the other direction and Kenichira from the front.’

Well, that’s an appropriate siege strategy.

It’s good that the opponent can’t escape, but the magic didn’t spring up on the road Kenichi was running on.

I didn’t completely let go of the attack in that direction.

Seeing the boulder rise under the chin right away, it was to control the magic of the point where the allies were.

“The speed of expression is disappointing.”

Is the ability to control a pass despite less learning?

Ichimaru Shiki internally evaluated the shaman, Sawamura Sento, and swung a dagger in front of him.

Some parts passed, but that didn’t mean the overall picture was good.

Of course, the strategy of blocking one side of the encirclement is established when the vanguard endures.

“But Kenichi can’t stop me?!”

Quaaang! Soon the swung greatsword and dagger collided head-on.

The difference in the mass of the metal itself was overwhelming, but it was the greatsword that was being pushed.

Catch up Geek—! Kenichi’s eyes widened as he watched the greatsword that was continuously pointed at him.

I distorted my expression and put all my strength into my forearms to kick the opponent back.

“aaa!!! Who says you can’t stop it!”

“Oh?”

“Sawamura!!”

Ichimarushiki, with a very smiley expression, floundered with his limbs while floating in the air.

Even though he looked ridiculous, it didn’t look like he would be defeated, but now was his chance.

Kenichi retrieved the greatly swung sword and immediately ran forward, and Sawamura Sento completed his spell.

“Spring up, thorns.”

Deep deed…… As before, the ground swelled as if to spit something out.

In terms of the content rising, it was no different from the previous spell, but the content was different.

In addition, the power contained was very different.

“Thorns, wine of punishment.”

Your order has been completed.

Quad Deuk! After spitting out the last boulder, trees sprang up from the ground.

An ugly tree with no branches, leaves, or flowers all over its body, only with dark red thorns.

The thorn tree trembled and soon finished preparing to fire part of itself.

‘This might be dangerous.’

Seeing that, Shiki stepped into the air and suddenly swung his dagger.

Time slows down.

Again, at that moment, dozens of red thorns began to fire for only one target.

Kwagagagagagagagang—!

There were so many thorns that I couldn’t even dare to escape.

The power contained in each small thorn was equivalent to that of a large rock, and it was dense.

Ichimaru Shiki also did not intend to cut off the thorns flying from all directions.

I just tried to pierce one side.

Quang! Kicking off the air, I ran towards Kenichi in front of me.

The thorns he encountered during the flight were knocked out in one go, and before long, he and Kenichi clashed swords again.

“…… What?”

No, they didn’t bump into each other.

Unlike usual, instead of clashing the swords head-on, the swords flowed, and in an instant, dozens of sheaths were made on top of the body.

Pabababak! Kenichi’s training uniform was torn in places and scattered in the air.

Kenichi felt the strength drain from his entire body and slowly fell to the floor.

Shiki whispered in his ear.

“This is slow. Even falling down.”

“…… Damn.”

Quadang! Leaving the helpless Kenichi behind, he ran towards the defenseless sorcerer.

Sento tried to buy some time to complete his next spell by throwing out his body and casting a small spell, but it was still not enough.

Basically, the difference in steps was markedly different.

Sawamura Sento raised his arms and gave up his intention to surrender before he messed up.

“Our avant-garde is incompetent.”

“I agree.”

“… ….”

Kenichi, who was sprawled on the floor, felt a surge of emotion in his stomach as he listened to the story.

…… Those guys are called open mouths.

Right away, Kenichi picked himself up and looked at the traces of Shiki’s body.

‘…… There are no major wounds anywhere.’

There were no stab wounds, but rather, there were traces of being beaten with the handle of his sword.

Compared to the splendid action, I wonder if there is no substance.

Of course, I was grateful that he looked after me, but for some reason I felt hateful.

“Oops, Kenichi. Didn’t you trip on a rock and fall? There are no scars at all.”

Kenichi made a new resolution.

‘This guy will surely be killed someday.’

Just as she was clearing up her murderous intentions, Ichimaru Shiki shrugged her shoulders for some reason and said,

“I’m going out for a while, so please take care of yourself in the meantime.”

“…… Oh oh.”

At those words, Kenichi became happy.

Having been tamed in the training hell, he felt grateful for the unexpectedly long break, and as soon as Shiki left the training ground, he lay down on the ground.

…… Oh, i’m happy

I was thinking of getting a good night’s sleep, but suddenly I heard a voice.

“Wake up, practice.”

“…… What are you talking about, Sawamura? Shiki told you to rest too.”

“The front is being opened up, but we have to come up with something right now. Are you going to keep going?”

“…… sh*t.”

I couldn’t lie down after hearing those words.

Kenichi forced himself up with a teary face and straightened his sword.

***

Quad deuk…… The monster’s body was split in half from head to lower body and collapsed.

Usually, I would have killed him while playing around, but I wasn’t in the mood for that today.

As I was butchering a monster that didn’t taste good, I had only one thought.

“There are a lot of numbers today.”

Tokyo’s shamans are busier than ever in the face of the ever-increasing number of monsters, but the number of encounters has doubled.

In less than a month since the seal was lifted, the number of monsters appearing each day has multiplied several times.

Hiding a dagger in my sleeve, I came out into the street and remembered the cycle of the full moon that was about to come.

“Hmm, not long.”

It was time to move on to the next stage.

***

The next morning, I arrived at school with Sento at an early hour as usual.

Your friendship is getting deeper.

I nodded my head proudly, but Sento next to me muttered with an expressionless face.

“There are more and more people who think we are dating, so why not give up the obsession that you have to go to school with me every day?”

“Oh, hasn’t our friendship grown?”

“Not at all.”

“Ah, lie.”

It’s not as much as we are since we’re hanging out like that, but the diligent Hotaru Ichinose entered the classroom.

“Hello kids.”

“Oh, how are you?”

Come to think of it, I have to give this guy a chance to grow, but I’m worried about what to do.

With so many guys to look after these days, it’s not easy to set up a schedule for him.

I was contemplating while slowly stroking my chin when someone rushed into the classroom.

“Hey! You!”

It was Eris Betelgeuse, the blonde kid.

You seem to have lost your height today.

The guy, who was out of breath for what was so urgent, came up to me and said quietly.

“…… Do you have any more that you gave me before?”

It seems that the gift has finally come to fruition.

Looking at the search for more antidote, it seemed that even if it wasn’t cured, there was some improvement.

At the end of a long time, you know my sincerity.

I was so moved by her that I nodded her head in satisfaction and whispered to her with her smile.

“Ah, there are more.”

“…… Then more!”

“But there are conditions.”

“…… What?”

As if Eris hadn’t thought of such a thing, her eyes trembled.

I was heartbroken that the value of my gift seemed to be diminishing, but I said it kindly without showing it.

“Will you do me one favor?”

The world is originally a give and take.
