Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Despite the bumpy road ahead.

But in the end, Kino still reached his destination.

Located at the foot of a mountain, about three days' journey from the capital of the Kingdom of Ars.

There is a gate embedded inside the mountain.

Kino tried, but found he couldn't open it.

But it doesn't matter.

You can just wait here.

So Kino sat down in front of the gate.

I'm starting to wait.

When we get hungry, we pick wild fruits.

When thirsty, drink dew.

And so we waited.

until……

The door was finally pushed open.

Kino stood up.

He swung his sword at the figure behind the door.

250. Fierce Battle

Let's return to the present moment.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Me, Alice, and Kino.

The three people were facing off.

I have personally experienced Kino's power.

He's a special guy.

Although we are the same age...

No, they're even younger than me.

But through his own efforts, he gained unparalleled power.

That's why I have to be wary of him.

"Kino, were you... trying to kill Rudeus just now?"

Alice questioned him in an icy tone.

"Oh, yes."

Kino said in a calm tone.

"After all, my master said that only if I cut off his head could he hand Nina over to me."

"Then you are my enemy."

"Ah."

Faced with Alice's threat.

Kino simply nodded indifferently.

He seems somewhat arrogant and conceited.

But I know very well that he has the confidence to do so.

"Rudeus, go and heal Gilead first. I'll hold them off here."

Alice stared at Kino and said.

Gilead was badly injured.

If left untreated, the patient may bleed to death.

"it is good."

I galloped toward Gilead.

……

"Alice, although I have always regarded you as my hypothetical enemy, I do not want to start a war with you."

Kino said calmly.

“You are Nina’s friend. If I kill you, Nina will be heartbroken. I don’t think you would easily kill a friend, would you?”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I would kill anyone for Rudeus."

Ellie answered without hesitation.

"……Yeah."

As Kino said this, he closed his eyes.

Right at this moment.

Alice rushed out.

The secret of the Sword God Style: the sword of light!

"boom--"

两人瞬间战在一起。

In the brief exchange of blows just now.

Alice then realized just how terrifyingly advanced Kino had become.

Even so, her purpose in protecting Rudy remained unchanged.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

Ellie used all her strength without holding back.

King-level Sword God Style.

Emperor-level Water God Flow.

Raji Lutheranism.

Precognitive eyes.

Alice used everything she had gained so far.

however……

The moment they clashed again.

Alice finally discovered it.

Kino's rise to power is not simply a matter of him becoming stronger.

he……

It has become extremely strong!

Alice had only ever felt such terrifying power from Gar Farion.

Even Atofi and Leda cannot compare.

That feeling of being defeated in an instant...

Alice experienced it again.

The first sword.

The two simultaneously clashed with their light-wielding katana.

Thanks to the power of her precognitive eye, Alice barely managed to block the attack.

But the next moment.

She realized she was wrong.

Kino unleashed the Light Blade a second time at an even faster speed.

Even though he saw this scene with his precognitive eyes, his body couldn't keep up with it.

So Alice used the Water God Technique to defend.

however.

They couldn't stop it.

The second sword.

Alice's hand holding the sword was severed.

Even so, Alice will not give up the fight.

She grabbed the sword with her other hand and retaliated.

however.

Kino, however, seemed to have anticipated the attack and dodged it.

The third sword.

The katana of light strikes.

Alice used the Water God Style to block.

However, with only one arm, she lacked strength.

Kino easily severed Alice's other arm as well.
