"Caladbolg."
The Caladbolg that flew through warped space tore through the robe of an unknown figure.
When the robe was ripped, the figure took a step back.
"...Bellf?"
"Give me the situation, roughly."
"Yeah..."
The woman, now revealed with her robe torn, rushed at me with a golden sword in hand.
"That adventurer knew 'Ariel.' And... she took a disgusting magic stone."
"...You attacked me over something that trivial?"
"..."
After hearing the explanation, it looked like Aiz had been the one in the wrong first.
"And that person is the culprit behind the incident."
"You should have said that first."
After blocking the wildly swung golden sword with Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, then kicking her away, I looked at the woman, who was sturdier than I had expected, and frowned.
If she was that strong, then unless she had spent her whole life in the Dungeon, she should have been known outside it.
But this kind of person...? I was seeing her for the first time today.
"...Are you a monster?"
"Ha! Comparing me to something like that? So a first-rate blacksmith is nothing special after all."
"A blacksmith only needs to make good weapons. What more do you want?"
The woman was at least as strong as a first-rate adventurer, and she thrust her sword out with terrifying speed.
"You sure found yourself a good sword. Where did you get it?"
"None of your business."
I blocked as much as I could with Gan Jiang and Mo Ye while studying the sword up close.
The blade of the two-handed sword had a strange golden sheen, and it was so finely forged that it looked razor-sharp.
"Roar, Tempest."
While I was letting her push me back a little and observing the sword, Aiz apparently thought I was being overpowered and used [Aerial] at full output to separate us.
"Bellf. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
But then,
"This is perfect, now that you're all gathered together."
Now I didn't think I would be fine anymore.
The mysterious woman, who had been holding the sword in one hand, gripped it with both hands and raised it high.
In response, the sword began to pour out a brilliant light.
I had no idea how much power that sword could unleash, but I could tell one thing for certain: my magic swords and Rho Aias wouldn't be able to stop it.
So,
"What reaches that point is countless training."
"Bellf?"
I had no choice but to face it with this.
"A mountain of swords piled high, severing fate through bonds."
The same wasteland of swords spread out before me as when I used [Infinite Sword Emperor].
And light began gathering into the woman's sword.
"The blade of Crozzo that raises eight layers of walls."
"What a waste of effort."
The swords in the wasteland scattered like snowflakes and gathered in my hand, forming a single blade.
"Die."
At the same time, an excessive amount of light gathered in the sword the woman held.
"This is my—"
"Ex...calibur!"
"[Sword Emperor of Nothingness]!"
Brilliant light illuminated the darkened 18th Floor in an instant.
