Battle with the Protagonist Starts

“Now… begin!” (Drake)
With Sir Drake’s words, the duel between me and Wilfred opened.
Now then… how will Wilfred come at me?
“….” (Harold)
Oh, he’s not coming at me. Rather, when I closed the distance with sliding steps, he retreated the same amount. It seems this distance is his preferred range. Well, still.
“What’s wrong? If you don’t make a move, you won’t be able to win against me.” (Harold)
“I understand. However, if we decide the match too quickly, it won’t be interesting.” (Wilfred)
Saying that, Wilfred chuckled.
“You’re quite the mouthy one, aren’t you? But where does that confidence come from? You saw that I blocked all of Karla-dono’s attacks during our bout with the Holy Kingdom, right?” (Harold)
“You’re not aware, Brother. At that time, you were both using wooden swords and wooden shields as training weapons. However, now that this sword is in my hands, you are destined to be cut.” (Wilfred)
Ah, I see. He’s planning to crush me relying on the performance of the ‘Heroic Great Sword Caletvwlch’.
“Well then, give it a try. Stop running away.” (Harold)
“Okay… I will take you up on that!” (Wilfred)
“Ah! He’s coming!” (Casparleague)
Kicking off the ground, Wilfred closed the distance in an instant.
“Sh–..!” (??)
A quick succession of thrusts came at me.
In ‘Enhaza’, at the start of the main story, the protagonist’s level is only one, so it was a bit surprising that Wilfred could execute such attacks. But…
“What!?” (Wilfred)
“Why are you so surprised? Do you think such attacks would work?” (Harold)
As I blocked everything with the ‘Jet Black Shield Casparleague’, Wilfred’s eyes widened. It seemed he was surprised not so much by my blocking but by the fact that the ‘Heroic Great Sword Caletvwlch’ couldn’t pierce this shield.
“What’s this? Could it be that sword is really that amazing?” (Harold)
“…Well, yes. But I didn’t think your shield could block the attacks of this sword. I don’t know what kind of evil you did to obtain it.” (Wilfred)
“If you’re saying that, then how did you obtain that sword? It’s not something easily obtained.” (Harold)
That’s right… there’s no way it was easy to obtain. How much do you think I spent on the gacha to get the ‘Heroic Great Sword Caletvwlch’ in ‘Enhaz’?
“I was entrusted with this sword. ‘Become the king of Dehaubalz and be the ruler of this country’, he said.” (Wilfred)
“Oh really… was that from His Majesty the King?” (Harold)
“No, that’s not it.” (Wilfred)
“Not it?” (Harold)
I reflexively asked back to Wilfred, who easily denied it.
Then, who on earth gave him a UR weapon and declared such a thing…? Oh.
At that moment, I recalled a similar incident.
The crown prince Jean, who led a coup in the Capetian Kingdom, also said he received the ‘Holy Sun Sword Durandal” from a certain man… That name is…
“‘Ulysses’…” (Harold)
“!? …Could it be that Brother Harold also got that shield from that man…?” (Wilfred)
Really… is that true? I can’t believe this guy is connected to the man Jean spoke about. Moreover, the man ‘Ulysses’ involved with the protagonist and scenario bosses of ‘Enhaz’ is quite mysterious. Furthermore, he must have possessed at least two UR weapons, and even a rare item like the ‘Eye of Gargouille’. However… one thing is certain, ‘Ulysses’ is acting behind the scenes in this world of ‘Engage Hazard’. After this duel is over, I’ll interrogate Wilfred.
“Don’t put me in the same category as you. My partner… I didn’t obtain it from any suspicious guy.” (Harold)
“If so, then why… well, it doesn’t matter. If I win, I can just make Brother Harold spill the beans.” (Wilfred)
“!?” (Haru)
The sharpness of the sword Wilfred wielded increased, and he mercilessly charged at me. If I hadn’t blocked that, I would have definitely died. That said…
“W-why…!?” (Wilfred)
“It’s useless. Your sword will never reach me.” (Harold)
As I blocked all his sword strikes, Wilfred again let out a voice of astonishment.
I realized while stopping his strikes, but regardless of the weapon’s performance, Wilfred’s own ability is surprisingly lacking. No, he might be a little stronger than Marion, but still, his swordsmanship is probably below Karla.
“I don’t mind continuing until your spirit breaks. Just… there’s absolutely no way you can win against me.” (Harold)
“Ugh…! This oooooooh!” (Wilfred)
It seemed my words struck a nerve, and Wilfred frantically swung his sword.
This situation is the same as when I sparred with the royal guard wearing the orange armband.
Just as I thought that.
“What!?” (Harold)
“Tch… I missed.” (Wilfred)
Though I barely managed to avoid one of Wilfred’s strikes, I opened my eyes wide, feeling a burning heat on my cheek.
That was because… the skill Wilfred used was not one that the protagonist can use in ‘Enhaz’, nor is it a unique skill of the ‘Heroic Great Sword Caletvwlch’. It was a unique skill of another UR weapon… ‘Demon Emperor Star Gun Summon Trigger’, [Abyss Assault].
