Jobless Chapter 56 Continuation – As Expected, it’s hard to fight Alchrom Alone!

 


 

As usual, that’s a cool sword. You know I’m fighting barehanded here!

『Muu. That sword is dangerous. That was your fault』

「It’s the same with Harakara! Then…」

『Are you going to fight with a dildo again? But, unlike the Oni from before, it would be delicate that it can’t destroy that big sword』

「Huh? Really?」

You’re saying that it’s the same rank as that holy vibrator?

But now that you mention it, Harakara manifested a pale flaming armor with his abilities. Compared to that, Alchrom had a weapon that Cui recognized from the start.

I see how the circumstances are different.

(Even if I create the strongest vibrator, the reach is too different compared to a sword. And if he swings that, I don’t have the confidence to parry it)

I mean, that dude’s holding a sword as big as a tree branch.

As you can imagine, even with the strongest vibrator with me, I have doubts I could go against that.

『You need to buy some time and wait for Erinabelle to arrive』

「Woah. That isn’t very optimistic 」

「What are you mumbling about?」

Alchrom makes it look like he’s not affected by the weight of the large sword he’s holding with that speed. Then, he swings it across.

「Woah!」

I jumped and avoided it right away. Alchrom swings back but I immediately backed up as soon as I hit the ground.

(Damn, Alchrom’s range got longer that I can’t get close)

Cui’s right, the odds are against us. But, I don’t feel the same sense of urgency when it comes to fatal injuries. And so.

「Cui, use the hero points to enhance my physical abilities」

『Honestly, you can’t strengthen your body any more than this for now. Unlike before, there won’t be that big of a change. Are you sure about this?』

We need more points to unseal Cui further, but instead of waiting for Erinabelle whose time of arrival is unknown…

「I don’t care. Do it」

I decided to use the hero points. Alchrom feigns moving his body, then suddenly changes the swing of his sword.

I see Filmeria beyond that.

(This guy! A Feint!)

I have no choice but to take it. My body slid between Alchrom and Filmeria.

Alchrom mercilessly swings his big sword.

「Guu!!」

I managed to grab Filmeria and leave the spot. But, I feel a burning heat on my back.

「Ah…」

I hear Filmeria’s voice in my arms. I looked back but my feet weren’t moving.

「What?」

I looked at the ground and found bloodstains. It wasn’t Filmeria’s blood, nor Alchrom’s. Whose blood is this?

「Y-Your back…」

Filmeria’s cute and tiny voice leaks. Then, Cui speaking to me from above.

『There’s a huge cut on your back. Don’t move too much. You’re going to bleed more』

What? Seriously?

Damn, I was just thinking that I feel my back is burning but to think that I got cut…

「Seems like this is as far as you’ll go」

Alchrom had a smile as if he had won.

Damn. He knew I would move if he went after Filmeria.

Even if I don’t, Filmeria would die. So Alchrom is fine with either option.

(He knew that I couldn’t break the reach of the sword. Damn, I was the one who showed the gap)

But, I’m not giving up yet. You won’t finish me without a fight.

If that’s the case, I’m going to use all the hero points to bring out the strongest vibrators and increase my strength.

So I called out to Cui. Alchrom rushes in with his large sword.

「Cui」

Just as I was about to shout. A flash of light runs between Alchrom and me.

「What?」

Alchrom backs off from the sudden event. What happened?

「Alchrom Avalfar.」 That sword. Rydale isn’t suited for a tenth-ranking citizen like you. Why don’t you leave it here along with your life?」

「?!」

A dignified woman’s voice echoes. Standing there was a beautiful blonde-white-haired woman.

「You!!!」

『What! Another beautiful woman』

Cui’s sounding a bit excited. That’s understandable. Despite the situation, I was also giving a good look.

It’s a mini-skirt female knight.

However, that slit eyes shining blue are so beautiful, as if they were jewels slotted in. The half-up cut of her hair from her back is also great.

『Hmm. I can’t see her status at all?』

That’s unfortunate, really.

Erinabelle’s the cute type, Filmeria-chan’s between cute and beautiful, but this female knight is on the dignified and beautiful side.

The Japanese people would agree that she’s the definition of a female knight.

Then, in her hand is a sword with some wonderful decorations. It suits her, and it’s cool.

Who’s this? I was wondering but then Alchrom told me.

「The first seat of the twelve generals. Glittering Moon Sword Cerialis!」

「You can’t address a noble without their title. What a rude mouth. I’ll close it up」

T-This woman…is the one they call the strongest in the empire. That Cerialis.

Her aura is certainly different. I think.

Alchrom showed a different expression as he was confronted. There’s thin sweat floating on his forehead.

「Mireia. Retreat」

「On it」

The female knight next to Alchrom left the place. But, Cerialis didn’t follow after her.

「I didn’t expect you to let her go」

「Why do I have to chase after insects? Putting aside you who had the Phantom Tool」

Woah. She’s not even looking at them.

But, Alchrom didn’t show any concern. Then, he readies his sword.

「I can’t believe I’m meeting the first seat. If you die here, the empire will lose its momentum」

「Hmph. I heard that Filmeria got kidnapped. I came downtown out of curiosity. The man here just worked harder than normal. Thanks to that, I noticed the fuss. You no longer have the honor to talk to me anymore」

What’s going on? I don’t get it. Cerialis moved the sword lightly.

But at the same time, several light slashes attack Alchrom with an arc.

「??!!」

I think that’s magic. I have no idea how it works.

But, each slash of light was heavy, Alchrom was setting up his sword with an unseen expression and concentrated guard.

「Alchrom Avalfar. I heard so much about the man who wielded the Rydale, the Mechanical sword, but it seemed that my expectations were too high. You can’t even match my sword」

「Kuh!」

Alchrom is now busy dealing with the slashes of light. He can’t avoid them, so he has no choice but to keep parrying them with his word. Then.

「Kuoooooh!!!」

The great sword shines and manages to erase the slash of light. At the same time, his big sword slams into the ground.

「Earth Rupture / Impact Rising!」

A shockwave approaches Cerialis from where he struck the sword.

But, Cerialis quickly brushes it off with her sword as soon as the shockwave hits. Then the shock waves vanished.

「Wow」

I looked at Alchrom’s location. Nobody’s there. The man disappeared before nobody noticed.

「He ran away? He didn’t confront me nor show his skills off. In the end, an insect will be an insect」

Cerialis puts the sword she’s grasping back into the luxurious sheath again. Then, she walked this way.
