Part 10
Sasala bowed very deeply.
「S, sorry……Are you hurt anywhere?」
Diablo was disheartened.
「I’m surprised. This is the first time I’ve been overwhelmed this much. I suppose I should say as expected of a Master Swordsman. I have nothing but admiration for you.」
「No way……I, I have no merit other than swinging a sword.」
She shrunk her small body even more.
Diablo bit his lip.
He felt that the conceit he had up until now was smashed up.
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, he piled up complete victories to the point that he called himself a Demon King.
He often left behind records in events.
He defeated many formidable enemies with his superhuman reaction speed and judgement.
Moreover, this other world, for various reasons, should have had lower levels than the game overall.
However, he was cut the moment he noticed!
This kind of defeat, he hadn’t experienced it even in the game.
──What is going on?
It was said that to be instructed by the Master Swordsman, the Warrior level needed to be greater than 80. In that case, would a Warrior greater than level 80 be able to stop that Sasala’s slash?
It was hard to believe.
But, did he have no choice but to accept it?
Emil said that he had received instruction.
「I was told by my Shishou, to expand my horizons! So now I am studying under a person called the Master Swordsman Graham who lives in the northern mountains.」
He had certainly called the Master Swordsman his Shishou.
Since Sasala said that she had taken over as Master Swordsman half a year ago, he probably wasn’t talking about her predecessor.
If he was inferior to the Great Demon King Modinalaam, and to the Master Swordsman, then it was just as he predicted. It is for that reason that Diablo felt the necessity to develop as a Warrior-type after all.
However, this and that were different stories.
──I, am inferior to level 80?
He wasn’t satisfied with that.
Seeming worried, Sasala peeked at his face.
「U, um……Are you really alright? Any injuries……?」
「There are none. There is no need for concern.」
「Is that so. Erm……Well then……About the instruction……even if I teach you, if you can’t see my sword, then it’s impossible.」
He was aware that his level was lacking, but to think that it would be this overwhelming.
Diablo was bewildered.
Falling in defeat, his bluff through his Demon King role play would crumble. He had harbored that sort of anxiety as well but.
──Right now, I’m, extremely, excited!
It was a feeling of excitement like when he had first started the MMORPG Cross Reverie.
He had also felt it when he had just arrived in this other world, but after understanding his abilities as a Magician and increasing his reassurance, the excitement vanished.
However, he could become even stronger!
Diablo tightly gripped the sword in his hand.
「Fu, fufufu……」
「Have you come to understand?」
「You have my gratitude, Sasala.」
「Eh? Eh?」
「I will definitely show you that I can stop your sword.」
She nodded.
「Yes. I am sure that if you train for about ten years, then you probably will.」
「Sorry but……I cannot take things that slowly.」
「B, but, training is something done steadily so……」
「It was my loss! I will come again.」
Diablo turned his back to her.
Rem and Shera were waiting.
Or maybe they had lost their faith in him due to his defeat──is what he thought, but there weren’t any signs of disappointment or contempt on their faces.
Rather, they were showing smiles of appreciation.
「……It must have been hard. This is my first time seeing you lose.」
「Sasala-chan, she’s really strong, isn’t sheー. I also couldn’t see her sword at allー.」
「……As expected of the Master Swordsman. Doesn’t it seem that she is faster than the Faltra Feudal Lord and the Head of the Holy Knights Baduta?」
「Un, she was much faster than that Baduta person.」
There was no doubt about that.
But, one could stop it if they were a level 80 Warrior──if that is the case, then he himself is probably too weak.
Diablo admitted his defeat, and descended the mountain.
