My body really moved like a lie.


    Whether his opponent was wearing leather armor or iron armor, he would aim for the gap and stab through it one after another.


    There is absolutely no waste in his movements.


    It''s like it''s not my body, even though it''s clearly moving with my will.


    Perhaps my mind hasn''t caught up with the specs of my profession. I''ve never experienced combat like this before.


    I killed ten soldiers in a row. Thanks to that, the area is a little safer.


    "Arsrod-sama, you have become this good with the sword? ......"


    "I can''t believe it either, but I''m going in anyway!　I''ll be on the front lines!"


    Believing that his profession, Oda Nobunaga, is comparable to that of a magical swordsman, he heads out.


    The goal was to attack us down, so there were plenty of enemies. But to tell the truth, they were all moving so slow that I didn''t feel like I could hit them.


    --No wonder. Only those who are qualified to be the High King can stop the High King. Mitsuhide Akechi, who killed Nobunaga Oda, also won the kingdom, albeit for three days.


    It''s the inner voice after all. It must be a voice related to my occupation. I don''t feel like my consciousness is being hijacked, so it doesn''t matter.


    Maybe it''s the name of some otherworldly hero. I''m getting a feel for it.


    Well, whatever. All we need now is to get out of here alive.


    I went over to Laviala and patted her shoulder sympathetically.


    "Wait here. I''ll come down. I''ll come back for you."


    "Wow, okay. ......"


    Laviala looked a little puzzled, but said she understood. Maybe she wanted to fight beside me more.


    More marching.


    I jumped into the people running up the stairs leading to the gate and cut them down one after another. I hit a fallen enemy and he falls again. Good, it''s like an avalanche!


    They must have killed fifty already. A few more and they''ll get scared. If we can make them think we can''t go on like this, we win.


    That''s more than enough. I''m not tired at all.


    "I, Arsrod, will crush those who come up to the gate!　You will kill everyone who enters the fort!"


    The soldiers, who had been buoyed by his voice, began to come to their senses.


    "Yes, we can do it!" Lord Arsrod is with us!"


    All right, come on. If the number of the enemy does not increase, we should be able to destroy them.


    I''ll cut them down at the gate.


    They come up the stairs. Sometimes I kick them down.


    You fight so wildly!


    The enemy, who could not attack, spoke more ill of him.


    Violent?　I don''t care. There are no rules in a fight for your life. You''d have had our men betray you.


    I heard the gate close behind me. They managed to fix the gate with first aid.


    Now all we have to do is clear out the men in front and we''ll be in the clear.


    We''ll go in.


    I''ll show you the power of my profession.


    I know where to put my sword.


    Move aside, you fools!


    I''m a man of viscount''s blood... a man of the High King''s power.


    The enemy screams continue. Anyway, it goes on.


    Blood sprays every time I swing my sword.


    When he tries to send a fireball through the air with his magic, I get in front of him and stab him to death.


    When he tried to spear me, I jumped on top of him and decapitated him while jumping from there.


    The battle is gradually changing with my power alone.


    I don''t know for I haven''t counted, but I think I killed a hundred and fifty men by myself.


    With this, I could have at least driven the enemy back. I don''t know the details, but I''m sure it was because of my profession. Otherwise, he would have been killed after killing 20 men.


    We have reached the foot of the fort. The enemy has been on the run for a while now, so we should be able to get back to the fort for now.


    But then a familiar voice came into my ears.


    "Well, we can still do it. ......"


    Raviara was fighting her way out of the gate.


    She was surrounded by enemies and her clothes were torn. He must have been very reckless. He is good with a bow and arrow, but he was fighting in close quarters.


    "We''re going to Arsrod-sama''s place. ......"


    You idiot!　I told you to wait at the fort!　I told him I''d wait for him too!


    I don''t know what to do.


    He''s been standing next to me since I was born, just a little bigger than a baby.


    I grabbed my sword and ran at him as fast as I could.


    "Don''t hurt Raviara!"


    We can''t lose Raviara in a place like this!


    Before the enemy soldiers could attack Raviara...


    I cleave my sword to my side as hard as I can.


    --I activate my special ability, Proud to be the High King. When you try to protect your property, your attack power is doubled.


    And doubled. ...... Another cheat special ability is born. .......


    I''ve been practicing with a sword for a while now, but that means it''s four times more powerful than normal. .......


    The sword glowed red when he swung it, as if the effect of the power was too strong - but then the enemy soldier''s body was cut in half from the torso.


    The enemy soldier''s body, from the torso down, slowly collapses.


    "Quadruple, I knew it was impossible. ......"


    The remaining enemy soldiers also had blatant fear on their faces. At that point, it was as if we had won, but we would do everything in our power to protect Laviala.


    "Oh my God, ...... there''s a monster--"


    He continued to slay the rest of them. His sharpness had dulled a little. It seems that this special ability really only works temporarily. Even a single blow is enough.


    Raviara, are you okay?


    "Mr. Arsrod, ...... sorry, I was really afraid to leave Mr. Arsrod alone. ......"


    "Well, I''ll give you a sermon later. "Well, I''m glad you''re all right."


    Gently, he reached for Laviala''s back.


    It''s warm. She''s alive. I could protect her.


    "I''m glad ...... that Master Arsrod is alive. ......"


    On the contrary, Laviala cried that she was glad to be alive.


    "Oh, come on, you''re the one who was in danger. ......"


    "Because I was worried ...... that I was going to be killed if I went outside the gate alone and closed the gate ......."


    I see what you mean. It would be suicide to go out alone.


    "I''m sorry. Now that you''ve settled down, please cast a restorative spell on me.


    A pat on the back from Laviala.


    But then I thought of that special ability you mentioned earlier, "when you try to protect what belongs to you." .......


    I see, for me, Laviala is a childhood friend and a possession. .......


    I felt strangely embarrassed and hugged her tighter than before to hide it.


    "Arsrod, you''re hurting me."


    "I don''t want to lose Laviala."


    "Raviara isn''t going anywhere, is she?"
