“Enough, damn it!”
Alta was being chased by assassins of the dwarf fairy tribe.
The sheer number of assassins, coupled with his inherent cowardice, left him with no choice but to flee.
In the past, he could have gotten away with it by hiding out in the downtown area at night.
But now it is dawn.
The downtown area is asleep.
In other words, there was no one to accuse.
(If this continues, they will catch up to me in no time!)
The Little dwarfs, who boast of their speed and agility, were already close behind.
I glanced behind to see if they were already close behind us.
(Hmmm? The distance between them and me is unexpectedly wide. …… Have my legs gotten faster?)
As your magical power improves, your physical body also strengthens.
The elder Rumpe had taught him so.
Alta is gradually realizing this.
“Damn! Bastard legs are faster than before!”
“I’ll lure him to the square ahead and surround him there! It’s still early in the morning and not many people are around, so it’s not a problem! Let’s all go out there and beat him to death!
Pasha, a young girl, or rather a woman, who seemed to be the leader of the group, shouted and sent instructions to the other dwarf fairy clans.
Her companions responded with an “oui~” and began to take action of their own.
Throwing a small iron ball with a sling shot, they guide Alta’s escape path.
“Damn it!”
The ball would do a lot of damage if it hit him, so even if he knew it was a trap, he was forced into a situation where he had no choice but to flee.
That’s when it happened.
Someone comes running toward them from the front, saying, “Hohoho!”
It was a familiar figure to Alta.
“Hey, Elder! Old Rumpe!!?”
“Hey, Alken. Running in the morning, isn’t it refreshing?”
When Rumpe met up with Alta, he turned on his heel and started running at the same speed as him.
Rumpe’s running form is very beautiful and his leg strength is not that of an old man who usually walks with a cane.
But Alta had no time to point that out.
“As you can see! I’m running away from the assassins of the dwarf fairy tribe! They’re so stubborn!”
“Don’t run away, Alta, fight. You should be able to do it now.”
Rumpe suddenly changes his tone.
Alta was not moved because he was used to it by now.
“Old man, what do you mean that?!”
“Remember what I taught you before, that it’s a matter of mental strength. …… If you peel off your skin here, you will surely become stronger.”
“…… be strong?”
Rumpe nodded
At the same time, Alta and the others were being cornered into the square.
Not only behind them, but also ahead and to the left and right, the dwarfs were approaching with their weapons at the ready.
It seems that they were already ahead of him.
The two were completely surrounded by the small assassins.
Alta’s twin eyes moved and he clicked his tongue.
“…Hey, Elder. You say fighting… but we are many outnumbered. If I recall correctly, I hear that the dwarfs are good at close quarters combat by taking advantage of their nimbleness…and we won’t be able to win against this many people, no matter how much power we have.”
“Certainly, it’s impossible to use the lazy ‘holy sword’ in its name. It’s okay — I’ll lend you this. Use it.”
Rumpe pulls out a long, thin object wrapped in cloth that he carried on his back. He took off the cloth and showed it to Alta.
A two-handed sword with bright decorations and housed in a misshapen scabbard.
“The one that responds – ‘Magic Sword ansalar’. It’s a magic sword that has pursuit ability. It doesn’t matter if there are many opponents as long as you aim for automatic tracking.”
“The Magic Sword Ansalar….”
Alta received the “Magic Sword”.
The sword is pulled out of its scabbard and stared at the blade. The blade is a sharp blade reminiscent of the fangs of a magical beast, and its ghastly and bewitching brilliance is mesmerizing.
“The only thing you have to be careful of is the amount of magic power consumed when using it. If you are an ordinary person, a single swing of the sword can kill you. That is why it is called a ‘magic sword’. But you, Alta, you can do it now. Believe in yourself.”
“I understand, Elder. I believe in your word!”
Alta, who had been exiled from his homeland and saw everything as an enemy, fled to the red-light district and became the only parent he had ever known.
He has fled to the red-light district, and Lumpe is the only one who is kind to him.
At one point, he was even made to prostitute himself with an ugly demon female at a host club, and he thought about punching her, but it was undoubtedly thanks to him that he was able to gain such confidence.
“Humph, what is it? What can you do with a sword like that? I don’t care, just kill him!”
“Altaa, I’m ready! I’ll take your head and we’ll all split the 3,000 Gs!”
Pasha gives the order to kill him, and pomple is getting excited next to her.
“pmple, you! Even if you split the money among that many people, it’s only enough to buy a loaf of bread, isn’t it? You’re making fun of me to no end! Come at me, you little elf!”
At this provocation, the dwarf fairy tribe let out an angry yell, “That’s enough, Keeeeeeeee!” and attacked at once.
Alta took aim and swung his “magic sword” at them.
“Ugh!”
Then, the blade changed its trajectory, making sure to catch dwarf’s torso and slice it to pieces.
The other dwarf stopped moving due to the extremely vivid and lightning-fast slash.
“Wow, that’s amazing! It hits so much that it’s so funny it’s like you’re sucking it in!”
“Multiple simultaneous attacks and ranged attacks are possible at the same time. Try it.”
“Hey! Damn you, you little kids!!!”
Alta swung his sword in all directions with great vigor.
Each time he used it, the “Magic Sword Ansalar” emitted a bewitching glow, slicing and dicing the dwarf fairy tribes.
Just as Rumpe had taught him, in an instant, he beheaded five people at the same time and used the vacuum blade to cut distant enemies in half without fail.
The formation has already been reversed, and a shout of agony echoed through the air.
“Hiiiii,I didn’t hear this! Help meeee!”
Dwarfs screamed and tried to run away.
“I won’t let you go, you’ll die!”
No matter what kind of enemy you are, if you are targeted, you will be pursued and you will surely die.
This is the performance and essence of the “Magic Sword Ansalar”.
“How dare you kill my friends?! You’re dead!!”
“Shut up, you little kid! It’s your fault for coming all the way here! Take this!”
Pasha attacked her with a small sword, and Alta swung the “magic sword” at her without mercy, thrusting it into her small abdomen and piercing it.
Pasha fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
“M-Miss! HIiiiii, You monster!”
The last survivor, Pomple, fell to his knees and was horrified by the devastation of his people.
It seems that he became stopped due to fear.
“Are you peeing on your 30-year-old old man habits? You’re the only one left, Pomple? What are you going to do, are you still targeting me?”
At Alta’s question, Pomple shook his head.
“Oh, no, I’m so sorry! Alta-samaaaa, please help me~ only my life!”
“That was a high three thousand Gs! At best, I’ll ask the organization to raise the price in the afterlife, damn it!”
“Wait, Alta. Don’t wield the “magic sword” any longer. You will run out of magic power and die.”
Just as he was about to finish him off, Rumpe stopped him.
“Hm? Oh …… well, I’m tired …… I didn’t notice.”
Alta shakes his shoulders and gasps for breath.
It seems that the drawback of ‘Magic Sword ansalar” is that it consumes magical power at the same time as it attacks.
“Hmmm. I didn’t expect you to be able to use it this well. ……”
“Hm? Elder, did you say something?”
“No, nothing. …… Hey, you said something about a pomple. You are now a servant of Alta. That’s the deal.”
“Hey, don’t make up your mind. I don’t want this filthy little kid.”
“Well, listen to me. Alta, you are going on a journey. You will take this Pomple with you.”
“A trip? For what?”
“Revenge for your country. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to be doing?”
“Hmm. Oh, ……, yes. I’ve saved up some money and I’m getting stronger. Maybe it’s time.”
“I’d like to see the “Magic Sword ansalar” back. It’s a very important part of my identity.”
“Hey, lend me some more ……. As long as I have this, I’m invincible. I don’t feel like anyone can beat me.”
“If you want, I’ll modify your ‘Holy Sword’ as a simplified version….”
For some reason, Rumple decided on his own that Pomple would be his subordinate.
The dazzling “Holy Sword” was enchanted on the spot and transformed into a “Demon Sword” that emits an evil and disastrous atmosphere.
“It can make up to three follow-up attacks in one day. It should be no problem in a single combat.”
“Thanks a lot! Let’s go, Pomple!”
“Ugh, Alta’s aniki ……, can I change my pants?”
“You’ve got 40 seconds to get ready. And the elder ……, Rumpe san, who the hell are you?”
“I’m just an old guy from the back streets.”
Rumpe turned back into an old man and stuck out his tongue.
“I can’t eat …… that. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Elder. Thank you very much.”
And so Alta, with Pomple under his command, set out for revenge.
And then..,
“Is that what you wanted, boss?”
A voice whispered behind Rumpe.
Pasha, the dwarf fairy who was supposed to have been killed by Alta, was standing there unconcerned.

Wao, Alta did become strong. However, he is still lacking to fight Seti. I believe he is still not ready for that. Besides, who is that Pasha? She gave me a bad feeling now.
