All orcs are born to be warriors.
For those Orcs, weapons are not just tools. It is another self that proves itself, and a ally with whom one’s soul is connected, closer than the family or wife with whom one shares blood.
Therefore, a true orc warrior could communicate with the spirit of the sword. It is the Orcs’ belief that a weapon forged in the hands of a warrior shares the warrior’s soul and becomes a great weapon, making that soul shine. And it was the Spirit Weapon, the unique vision of the Orcs, that brought out the soul of the weapon and fought with it.
Being able to use a spirit weapon that draws out the soul of the sword by calling its name is proof of a true warrior even among orcs.
Zalkato proudly raised his sword and shouted triumphantly.
“If you don’t break me, the sword won’t break either!”
A cry full of the excitement of a warrior, the orcs who were watching the ritual of fighting shouted in unison.
“Oooooh!”
“Kaaaa!”
Meanwhile, Siris was examining Zalkato with a frown. I was grateful that Reppenhardt gave me advice not to panic, but… … .
‘So what is that?’
What if I just tell you my name? Shouldn’t there be a more practical explanation?
Leffenhardt immediately continued speaking as if he had made a mistake.
“Just think of it as making the sword incredibly hard and sharp!”
In fact, for experienced orc warriors, there are many more ways to use spirit weapons, but if I were to explain them, I would have to give a lecture here.
“ah… … .”
And with this alone, Siris was satisfied.
‘So, like Miss Tila’s Earth Resonance, it’s a skill unique to the Orcs, right?’
I was a bit surprised by the performance, but after hearing it, it wasn’t that great of a technique.
‘Isn’t it okay to just assume that the opponent has a famous sword?’
Well, considering the prices of famous swords, it can be said that it is indeed an economical technology, but it is not enough to have a significant impact in battle. It feels quite inferior compared to Tila’s show of strength.
Feeling relieved, Siris calmed down her embarrassment and launched herself again. The silver-white scimitar performed a splendid sword dance.
“Ha!”
“Koooo!
Zalkato also gave an Orc-like shout and jumped into the sword fight again. As soon as she was within touching distance of her nose, Siris suddenly lowered her body as much as possible and launched her water kick. Naturally, Kato, who thought her sword was going to fly, panicked and swung his dual swords low to block the attack.
‘I got caught!’
With shining eyes, Siris bent her knees and retrieved the kick she had been kicking. Unlike her sword, her kick can be folded in the middle like this. After narrowly dodging her dual swords, Siris strongly stepped on the side of the blades of her dual swords, which were hanging straight down.
“Taaat!”
Siris, blocking the movement of the twin swords, leaped forward and delivered a slash. Zalkato’s complexion hardened. If he dwells on the sword that was stepped on, his head will be blown off.
“Tsk!”
In the end, Zalkato let go of his sword and quickly flew back to avoid the attack.
‘I won!’
Siris smiled in remorse. What defeat could be more certain than when a warrior lays down his weapon? It was the moment when she was sure of her victory.
Suddenly, Zalkato stretched out his hand and shouted in Orcish.
“My ally!”
At that moment, the two swords that had fallen on the floor flew up on their own and flew towards Siris. She opened her eyes wide.
‘What is this!’
It was something I could never have imagined. The swords that were clearly rolling around floated in the air and were struck down. Surprised, Siris hurriedly raised his scimitar and struck down the two swords.
Tatang!
A series of metallic sounds rang out, and her scimitar met the crossed twin swords, creating noise. Siris pushed her air sword away forcefully. The thrown swords began to float and return to Zalkato.
Reppenhardt’s cries of regret followed from behind.
“Oh right. “Sometimes the sword flies on its own!”
No matter how cool-headed Siris is, he can’t help but feel heated after hearing that sound. Are you really leaving out important information?
“Human! “You should have said that first!”
After screaming in shock, Siris struggled to catch his breath. Well, Kato gave an exclamation as she grabbed her two swords that were floating in the air again.
“You’re truly amazing, elf warrior. “I never thought I would have to fight alongside my friends.”
Siris, who had regained her composure, muttered with a bitter smile.
“… … Well, it’s only a vision of one race, but it can’t end with just improving weapon performance.”
Zalkato’s attack continued. Siris was sweating as he continued to fight back. The method of skillfully swinging the dual swords was the same as before, but in the meantime, techniques that went beyond common sense were added. If you swing her sword and then suddenly let it go in the air and attack her left side, the sword floating in the air will fly towards her right side.
“Okay… … .”
Siris looked embarrassed as she was pushed back one after another. It was a Jalkata that was difficult to deal with, but now that one sword was playing off and flying in the wrong direction, I couldn’t win at all.
The good news was that the movement of the floating sword was extremely simple. While the sword in Zalkato’s hand flew in a sharp trajectory, aiming for a vital point, the flying sword could only make basic movements as if swinging by an outsider. Otherwise, the outcome would have been decided long ago.
Even so, the fact remains that there is no way to overcome the current situation.
‘Should I admit defeat like this?’
In any case, the purpose of this fighting ritual is not to beat the opponent. I made Zalkato do his best, so even if he shakes his hands off at this point, he will still be recognized as a warrior… … .
‘But I hate losing!’
Siris gritted his teeth. Although she appeared to be cold-hearted on the outside, she was actually quite a strong-willed person. If the opponent was an Auror user like Reppenhardt or Russ, it would be inevitable if they lost because their level was completely different, but there was no significant difference in skill, but it was very unfair to lose because of their racial characteristics.
‘Wait, racial characteristics?’
Suddenly, Siris’ eyes lit up. The opponent, Zalkato, was using an orc-specific vision. So, do elves have no unique vision?
It wasn’t.
“Eight!”
Her eyes sparkled brightly as if something occurred to her. Siris shouted her spirit and launched herself high into the air. With her elf-like leaping ability, her new form flew high into the sky, well above Kato’s head.
“Yes?”
Zalkato looked up, puzzled. I couldn’t understand the opponent’s movements.
‘Why are you suddenly acting like a bully instead of fighting well?’
Occupying a higher position than your opponent clearly has an advantage in battle. But everything has a degree. If you jump that high, unless you have a platform in the air, your movements will only be limited. Even if you deviate from the group of battle, it is a long way to deviate.
‘You won.’

Putting his mind at ease, Zalkato activated his Spirit Weapon, moved his two swords, and threw them into the air.
“good! “My friend!”
It was then. Suddenly, a soft, even sweet voice rang out from above Zalkato’s head.
“My friend Sarana, I call you in the name of friendship… … .”
A ray of wind blows and condenses in the air along with her song-like voice. The flow of air intertwined, creating the shape of a cute girl.
Reppenhardt, who was watching, looked surprised.
“Wind Spirit, Sarana?”
Repenhardt was well aware that Siris had been devoting herself to practicing elemental arts whenever she had time since leaving the Danheim clan. Thanks to this, he was slightly dissatisfied as he did not have time to teach magic. But he didn’t know that he had already reached the point where he could embody a spirit.
‘No matter how much Nihilen’s help was there, the progress has been considerable?’
Sarana, the summoned wind spirit, revealed her elegant appearance and opened her mouth in a mysterious voice.
“Did you call me? My friend Serendi… … .”
It was just as I was about to continue speaking gracefully.
Sigh!
Siris trampled the spirit’s head!
“Quack!”
A truly humane scream flows from the mouth of that mysterious wind spirit. With that, Siris used Sarana as a springboard and flung her body out of the air again. She predicted the falling trajectory and threw the sword. Kato’s eyes widened.
“Huh?”
Siris immediately fell behind Zalkato’s back and aimed his sword at his neck.
“Checkmate!”
Jacalto groaned and admitted defeat. Stalla raised her hands and cried out loud.
“The Gentiles have won!”
Silan made a fuss towards Siris, who was returning to the group.
“Are you okay, Siris? “Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine, Cilan.”
Reppenhardt also stroked her head and spoke softly.
“Good job, Siris.”
“Yes, Mr. Leffenhardt.”
Siris grinned at his welcoming colleagues. Tila suddenly looked worried on her face.
“But can I just step on that? It looks like you’re upset for some reason… … .”
Tila saw clearly. The sight of Sarana, the wind spirit who was summoned as soon as she was summoned, disappearing in a blur while babbling something over and over again.
“Your expression is so crumpled, it doesn’t seem like you have any good feelings, right?”
Siris turned his head and looked the other way. Reppenhardt added further explanation, telling him not to worry.
“Spirits are pure beings, beings that have reached the source of nature. “We are not creatures that remember every little detail like humans.”
In other words, by the time he is summoned next time, he will have completely forgotten what happened this time. Russ muttered, opening her mouth wide.
“… … “Is it the head of a carp?”
It feels like the image of the mysterious spirit has been greatly reduced.
In any case, it was clear that this was not a desirable attitude toward spirits. Siris was also reflecting inwardly.
“Ugh, I shouldn’t do this next time… … .”
Repenhardt smiled bitterly at her soft muttering to herself. He remembers. ‘Treading’ on her wind spirit and freely moving her body in the air was her favorite tactic in her past life.
‘Later, you summoned 12 entities at the same time and walked around them, I guess?’
It was truly amazing to see that he had mastered all seven elemental arts despite dealing with the spirits so poorly.
‘Well, later on, the wind spirits used to support me with their hands, so I guess I didn’t feel too bad.’
She was trampled on so much that it got to the point where even the wind spirits helped her with their own two hands to provide a foothold for her. While watching this, I had some academic concerns about whether it might actually be a false belief that spirits do not remember the past.
‘Anyway, Siris too… … He’s usually very polite, but once you get to know him, he can be a bit rude to you.’
When Reppenhardt looks at him blankly, Siris rolls his eyes as if asking why. Shaking his head, Leffenhardt looked away. In the distance, Stella was shouting again.
“The ritual of fighting, we will proceed with the second duel! Those who will prove their worth, come out!”
Although they don’t know Orc, everyone was able to roughly guess what Stella was saying just by the atmosphere. Teela laughed, grabbing her own battle axe.
“Ugh! “This time it’s my turn.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Unfortunately, Tila was defeated.
It wasn’t because she lacked skills. In the early days of Tilado, she showed off her outstanding inaction by competing with an orc warrior. The problem started after the Orc warriors started using spirit weapons.
The opponent who fought Tila was wielding a huge hammer. He mainly used martial arts to pressure the opponent, and when he found an opportunity, he used the huge hammer to deliver a fatal blow.
When the orc warrior began to draw out the soul contained in the hammer, things changed. Between the blows of the flying hammer, the Orc warrior used his bare-handed martial arts and began to beat Tila frantically.
Siris, who was excellent in terms of technique, had the skills to withstand attacks from both directions by the opponent, but Tila’s strategy of pushing with power and ending the opponent before he could demonstrate his skills was not a good match.
