Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

But so far, I have always used a single sword...

No, that's not the right way to think.

Because my opponents so far have all been monsters, and monsters don't adapt to their attacks. Even if necessary, I can switch weapons at any time.

If your opponent is a human, perhaps dual swordsmanship is a good choice.

and……

Finger Fold is a magic sword.

Magic swords often have special effects. Although they are inconspicuous most of the time, they can have unexpected effects when dealing with special enemies.

For example, the effect of Fengya Dragon Sword is that it can ignore the defense of fighting spirit.

The effect of the Demon Sword Finger Break is that the injuries caused will become difficult to recover from.

This is a very targeted weapon for opponents who are good at healing magic or enemies with self-healing abilities.

In this case.

Use the armor-piercing sword to deal with opponents with high defense, and use the finger break to limit the opponent's recovery ability.

Ok?

I seem to have heard of this combination somewhere before?

"By the way, Nana-hoshi, don't you think this combination looks familiar?"

"what?"

"That's it, Diarmuid..."

"Celtic mythology?"

"No, I'm talking about Diarmuid in Fate Zero, who wields both the magic-breaking red rose and the annihilating yellow rose. He's a man of many talents..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in 2D stuff."

"..."

That's a kind of sad answer.

Even though Fate Zero is a Japanese anime, Nanahoshi can't keep up the conversation. If Rudeus were here, he'd probably be able to have a relaxed discussion with me about this topic.

Forget it, I won’t think about this problem for now.

In addition to the Magic Sword Finger Fold, Orsted also left me three magical add-ons.

They are:

A cloak that negates fire magic to a great extent.

A ring that can replace the user if they receive a fatal wound.

Boots that allow the wearer to move faster and with lighter steps.

The first cape is a good one.

Although fire-attribute magic can be deflected using Water God Style magic, it will also obstruct vision, especially when facing monsters that can breathe, such as red dragons.

I can't defend against the breath and attack at the same time.

When we were fighting against the Red Dragon before, it was because of this that the Red Dragon almost escaped.

But with this cloak, I can attack forcefully despite the breath, and even achieve unexpected results.

Then came the second ring.

I have some impression.

It seems to be one of the magical accessories that Loki wore before setting off in the Shilon chapter of the original work.

Later, he successfully helped Loki block an attack from the Grim Reaper.

"..."

anyway.

This was clearly a magic add-on for Roxy, but now it's in my hands.

Is there really no problem?

Never mind, there's no point thinking about it now.

Let’s talk about it then.

Finally, there are boots that make your steps lighter and your movement faster.

Qixing also has similar boots. He used this item when traveling with Orsted before because he couldn't keep up with Orsted's pace.

But I haven't used it since I started exercising intensely.

Now...

There should be no problem in using it.

After all, I'm already a Saint-level swordsman, so it's pointless to continue training at that level.

In short, these three magic additions are all good things that can be put to good use.

And they all suit me.

Orsted really thinks of me.

If I had such a good boss when I was a corporate slave on Earth, what would be wrong with being a dog for the rest of my life?

I put on all the gear.

Then he turned and looked at Qixing.

"Do you suddenly think I'm handsome?"

"……Absolutely not."

Qixing's expression was calm.

Well, expected answer.

Anyway, I accepted Orsted's gift.

With these things, even without the entanglement of fighting spirit, I should be able to display strength comparable to that of a senior swordsman.

"...If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

I feel like staying here any longer will disturb Qixing's research.

There is nothing else I want to say to Qixing.

Just seeing that Qixing was safe and sound, the stone in my heart had completely fallen.

Next, I will go to the Holy Land of Swords to continue honing my swordsmanship to the limit of my ability.

When I come back, Rudius will probably have arrived at the academy.

At that time, we two brothers will reminisce about the past.

"Come back and visit when you have time."

Qixing said calmly.

His very calm expression gave people a perfunctory impression.

But I could feel her sincerity.

Although it's embarrassing to say it, I often feel that Qixing is actually a tsundere. She will deliberately pretend to have a very calm expression to hide her inner thoughts. Maybe she is worried about me at this moment.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but reach out and rub Qixing's head.

Qixing shook her head reluctantly, but finally gave up and let me mess up her hair.

"Then, I'm off."

"……Bon Voyage."

……

……

the next day.

I plan to follow the caravan from Shalia.

Following the established route that has been confirmed to be safe, we set out towards the Holy Land of Swords located in the far corner of the northern continent.

Although I want to hurry on.

However, it backfired.

As mentioned before, due to its geographical location, the northern continent is covered with snow for three-quarters of the year, and it is not easy to travel on a large scale on such a vast land.

The caravan moved very slowly because safety was something they had to consider.

However, I can't move forward at such a leisurely pace.

So in the end I gave up on going with the caravan and decided to go it alone.

Following the map left by Orsted, I found the ancient dragon ruins near the Kingdom of Lanoa. Inside, there is a magic transfer circle that can quickly reach the vicinity of the Holy Land of Swords.

despite this.

Since I'm not good at acting alone, it still took quite a while.

After leaving Shalia.

About two months passed.

I rode my horse across the snow-covered plains and saw from afar the small town covered in snow at the northwestern corner of the continent.

That is the holy land that all Sword God Swordsmen yearn for.

Holy Land of Swords.

Sword Sanctuary Arc: 53, Nina

Holy Land of Swords.

Located in the northwest corner of the central continent, it is the edge of the edge.

The First Sword God founded a dojo here, where he taught his disciples swordsmanship in his later years. Until his death, he was undoubtedly the strongest swordsman.

This is something that is easy to understand.

Because in the war started by the demon god Laplace to exterminate the human race from this world, Al Falion, the first generation sword god of the human race, stood on the side of the demons.

He defeated the first generation of the Northern God, won the title of the strongest human, and made the name of the Sword God reside in the seven major powers.

Then, on this human land, he founded a temple as a former enemy of the human race and recruited many disciples.

Naturally, there are endless challengers.

However, he never lost to anyone until he was too old to move and was on his deathbed.

And after his death...

No, when he was still alive, he had allowed countless people to witness the power of the Sword God Style, and with it, he changed the entire world - making people more inclined to believe in the power of swordsmanship than magic.

The era of the Sword God School has continued since then to this day.

Although the Water God School once took over this dojo during this period, it was eventually occupied by the Sword God School.

The Sword God Style is such a powerful sword technique.

“Rustle, rustle—”

Two figures walked down the snow-covered mountain road from the dojo in the deepest part of the town, one in front and one behind. They left footprints on the ground they walked on, but they were soon covered by new fallen snow.

The girl walking in front had dark blue hair and was wearing a loose white dress that matched the style of the dojo's long sword. Her exposed skin was slightly darkened from years of exposure to the sun.
