Disciple of Immortal-Chapter 6Act : : Demon Sword《Time Flux》

In short, I've got plenty of chances to defeat him as long as I gang up on him with Pomera and Philia.

Summoning Urzottle could boost our chances.

Although we had the upper hand when it came to level, Ramiel, who broke the balance of the world by using the dragon's hole's magical power, might be a formidable opponent.

It was reassuring to know how to deal with our enemy.

「… Unfortunately, that only works if we exclude Nobunaga's trump card. Kiihihi, even if you gang up on him, Nobunaga is going to kill all of you once he uses his demon sword.」

「Trump… Card.」

Ramiel had also mentioned this matter a while ago.

Nobunaga had a trump card that was impossible to deal with unless his opponent knew about it beforehand.

Did that mean the so-called trump card was a demon sword?

「Demon sword 《Time Flux》… Originally, it was an item owned by an otherworlder. It can stop time the moment it's unsheathed from its sheath. Meaning that it's a certain-kill fast draw.」

「S-Stopping… Time?」

Here we come, an extremely dangerous item had finally appeared.

「Does that even… Possible? I mean, even if such a thing is possible, it's not something that can be dealt with just by knowing about it.」

Rosemonde murmured; she was clearly shaken.

「It's not impossible. Even though he can stop time, it's only for a split second. He has to draw his sword to activate its effect, and it consumes a vast amount of magical power. You just need to get away outside of the range of the 《Time Flux》 and his fast draw.」

Ramiel replied nonchalantly as if it was none of her business.

Surely, the battle might have ended in the blink of an eye if we hadn't known about this information beforehand.

Meaning we could prevent being killed in a flash by using this information.

However, just knowing it didn't mean we could deal with it.

It was literally impossible to defeat Nobunaga, whose level was higher, without entering into close combat.

「Nevertheless, Nobunaga doesn't really like using that overpowered demon sword of his. Maybe because he's a battle junkie, he doesn't even use his demon sword when ambushed. He only uses his sword when he feels like it. Well, I can reassure you that he won't draw his 《Time Flux》 the moment he sees you.」 ℞𝘢ΝŐBÈş

「W-What shall we do, Kanata-san? Even knowing that he has such a powerful weapon doesn't mean we have a countermeasure against it…」

Pomera asked anxiously.

「Surely, the hurdle got lowered once we knew about our opponent, but…」

I touched my chin while pondering this matter.

The only available option was to snipe him from afar or ambush him when he let his guard down.

However, there was no guarantee that such a plan would work, since the other party was stronger than me.

「Does 《Time Flux》 or Nobunaga himself have some sort of weakness?」

「You've got more than enough information, right? Just use your own brain to think about this matter. Moreover, do you have some kind of misunderstanding here? I'm not playing nice with you. I just think that muscle-for-brains Nobunaga is ill-fitted as the manager of this world. Honestly, I'm more than happy to see both of you kill each other.」

「How impudent…」

「You understand, right, Kanata? We're the law, you're the anomaly.」

I recalled Veranta's remark upon hearing Ramiel's words.

『If the higher being loses interest in this world, that will spell the end of this world… This Locklore.』

The said higher being, Nyarlhotep, was so fixated on eliminating me.

The other world of Locklore was nothing more than a form of entertainment for the gods who watched the journey of the otherworlder.

The fact that I, an otherworlder, possessed an extremely high level seemed to be an inconvenient existence for them.

I thought it was enough to dodge the sparks that fell upon me… But the more I resisted, the more it seemed that the interest of the higher being in Locklore waned.

It was an oversized problem for me.

To begin with, it was literally impossible for me to resist due to the overwhelming power of the higher being.

Nevertheless, it's not like I never thought about this problem properly.

「Kihihihi… Do your best to think of a countermeasure against Nobunaga. Well… It's impossible for you to defeat the 《Invisible Hand of God》 even if you defeat Nobunaga. While Nobunaga does excel in pure combat ability, the most dangerous one is still Veranta. He knows that he's bearing the weight of the entire world of Locklore on his shoulders. That's why he can be terrifyingly cautious… And really cruel.」

The tips of Ramiel's lips rose up, revealing an evil smile.

Whether it was Veranta or Nobunaga… Both were huge trouble.

Anyhow, I had no choice but to deal with Nobunaga for the time being.

I didn't think he was the kind of opponent I could defeat while thinking about what would come next.

Moreover, an unexpected incident might happen during the fight against Nobunaga.

「It seems the battle with the fate of the world is fast approaching. The duty of us, the dragonfolk, is to observe the trial falling upon humanity… But Kanata is a benefactor of mine. Moreover, I believe that this is the time for us, the dragonfolk, to not only follow our duty but also make our own decisions. Feel free to ask us if you need our assistance.」

「Thank you very much, Riddler-san.」

I bowed to Riddler.

「Kihihihi! What can someone of Riddler's caliber do against Nobunaga or Veranta? The only thing you can do is pray that the Peach Dragon Village isn't involved.」

Ramiel was laughing at Riddler.

Riddler glared at her but was unable to retort to her remark.

Honestly, I also didn't want to involve the dragonfolk in this fight.

Riddler wasn't even strong enough to defeat Ramiel, the weakest of the 《Invisible Hand of God》.

Riddler himself should have realized that fact.
