Konjiki no Moji Tsukai
Chapter 249

Everyone present who heard that, all felt a mild headache in their heads. They lost track of reality when Ornoth began to speak in a very strange manner.

However, Hiiro is helpless about this matter. Appearance wise, he seemed a bit of a slackless guy, so he couldnt believe that such words would replace their way to the mouth of such a man.

Moreover, the person himself was serious about it which made Hiiro knit his eyebrows in confusion.

can you please repeat it again?

For the time being, he wanted to confirm it again.

Mu? You didnt hear it right? Let me repeat. You have to let yourself go loosely like this, then go around and round! And finally you go oof.

Apparently, he didnt hear it by mistake.

(.if only I could read that scroll, but no matter how I tried, the content still looked like moon runes to me.)

Amongst the scrolls inside the Grand Fortuna Library, he saw one regarding the Crimson Aura. And of course, it was all thanks to Ornoths help. However, neither of them couldnt understand the contents of it, much less, anyone else.

Thats why Hiiro is enduring Ornoths way of teaching him through his own take on it.

At first Hiiro thought this was just a joke, but something tells him it was worth listening to Ornoths manner of describing it.

Mu? Whats wrong? You have a face as if you heard something unbelievable?

.haa, I wont beat around the bush, to be frank.I didnt understand a single thing you had said

Hah? Why so? I thought I made the explanation easy to understand

This person seriously lacks common sense.

No, I do get the concept behind it. I just dont know how to practice it even if you told me to do so.

I see. So thats the problem, huh?

Rather, arent you the one in charge of training the Evila soldiers? Havent you noticed the strange looks the soldiers give you?

now that you mention it, whenever I teach them, they had this mystified looked as if they were brooding about something

seriously, this thick-headed guy

Hiiro gave his condolence towards the soldiers of Evila. Ornoths manner of teaching, just like awhile ago, was a mystery. Since the soldiers had their own standpoints, they couldnt ask back many times against Ornoth. Thats why the only thing they could do was to desperately interpret those words by themselves.

Anyway, can you speak more logically?

M-mu logical, huh?

Apparently, Ornoths mastery in teaching seems to be a close to rock bottom. Although teaching by instinct is also important at times, its not suitable to teach it if one couldnt grasp the theory behind it as it would be hard to convey the message to the other party, much like right now.

Haa, then what does that go loosely like this mean? How do you do it? Can you perhaps show it to me instead?

As he requested, Ornoth shut eyes, and suddenly the excessive mana inside him dissipated away from his body. Then, he began to mix his mana and life force together inside his abdomen, and distributed it towards his blood vessels.

Hiiro was using Visual | character to see how the process works inside Ornoths body.

(I see, go loosely meant like that. And go around and round means the mixing of those two I guess. And finally the oof is)

When Ornoth opened his eyes, red aura gushed out of his body as if his blood spouted out from within.

(So thats oof, huh?.now I know why it was really hard to explain it with mere words alone)

Thats what he arrived at after clarifying Ornoths words. He could probably get the sense of it. But it was also true that practicing it is difficult with mere words alone.

I dont feel any heat coming from it though, is this perhaps Stillness | ?

Correct. Its the defensive stance of Crimson AuraStillness

.I wonder how strong this can hold?

Hiiro recognized that the power surging from Ornoth was incomparable to what he normally senses in him. It was almost equal to his Peerless Mode | Tenka Musou Mode

This is the evidence of a practitioner of this magic. Thats why Hiiro is really interested how strong it is.

Fumu, if you want to know, then hit me with all you got.

O-o-ornoth-san! You shouldnt! Its dangerous!

Muir quickly warned him as Mimiru agreed with her by nodding her head many times. But Ornoth only responded with a grin and,

Say, Hiiro, they say its dangerous to continue, what do you think? Want to stop?

It seems Ornoth actually went on provoking Hiiro. He has confidence in his

Crimson Aura

If thats the case, then it was perfect, Hiiro held his fist back to make sure it hits Ornoth.

Im inside a room so its hard for me to run away, thats why bring it on. Dont hold back against me.

Hiiro didnt want to use his magic. Honestly, if he used Word Magic, he would be able to damage his opponent without difficulty. Penetrate | is one that could work, and Nullification | would be sure skill.

However, that betrays with his objective. Hiiro wanted to confirm the full strength of Ornoths defense. Hiiro was perhaps among the ones with a very high level in this world, his physical stats is now probably reaching the likes of Leowalds caliber.

(If thats the cause, Ill give you my best punch..)

Magic began to concentrate on his fist. Then he bended his knees and kicked the floor instantly. He approached Ornoths chest in just a few steps.

Ornoth only stood there with an immovable posture. Hiiro then released his clenched fist towards Ornoths stomach with all his strength.

Everyone who witnessed it understood that extraordinary power was surging from Hiiros fist. Perhaps it has the power capable of killing any Rank S monster in one blow.

Haa!

A loud roar was made as the two collided. However,

now do you understand with this?

Ornoth calmly said those words.

(Ku.its too hard!?)

However, its hardness wasnt just like an iron.

(Its as if Im punching a massive tire)

Hiiro withdrew his fist and watched the Red Energy | Shaki covering Ornoths body. The way his punch felt was that of striking a tremendously thick and tough rubber.

It was as if the shock from his fist was absorbed upon impact. However, Ornoths stance seems to have become a bit disarrayed.

Ornoth only fell on his back a little and did not got blown away.

Hiiro, I know what you are thinking right now.

Because I had the same face when I did it with my mentor back then to teach me about Crimson Aura. Youre shocked that I wasnt blown away right? And you still couldnt believe that I was not damaged a little by it

tsk

He unconsciously clicked his tongue. His mood became sour when Ornoth guessed it right. Especially, his current situation.

You dont have to be pessimistic about this.

?

You understand from that impact right? Because it can also deal with magic.

When Hiiro knew Ornoth could use the Crimson Aura, he requested to be taught about it. Because he wanted to confirm the magic tolerance through practice.

And as demonstrated, Red Energy | Shaki was really a convenient defensive option.

This state raises the tolerance against physical and magic attack to its utmost limit. However, even if it could cut the power of the physical and magical attacks by half, this state also has a backslash.

Indeed, while on this state, even if the opponent uses magic or attack with a sword, it would be almost impossible to penetrate because it could nullify the damage. However, when faced with a force that the surpasses the current defensive power, one could likely received a direct hit.

Still, for such a defensive ability, this more than a wonderful blessing to Hiiro. Moreover, they still havent gotten to the Motion | part, the real deal of the skill.

By the way, I wont be demonstrating Motion | . There is a big possibility this room might burn down to ashes.

Although it was disappointing for the its demonstration, for Hiiro however, knowing about Stillness | was enough for him. Besides, he was sure, Motion | would be another dreadful skill to see.

He already saw a bit of it from Ornoths duel before.

Now then, its your turn to try it Hiiro.

At the mention of those words, Hiiro had considerably gotten excited to try it. His heart was still pounding from excitement. His face was probably making that of an agitated young boy. But he couldnt help it, because he cant help suppress this excitement inside of him.

(First is the go loosely part..)

He pulled out the excessive power from his body. But then

H-Hiiro-sama?

Because Mimiru had suddenly called for him, he faced her first.

Whats the matter?

Umyou seeif its .possible.um

Mimiru makes fleeting glances towards Hiiro while her cheeks were dyed red. And it seems Muir was also acting the same way, is there something wrong?

Hiiroput some clothes on

Hes right! Just looking at your naked body is already ruining my day!

Camus brought some clothes to him while Tenn who was at Camus shoulder was shaking his head murmuring good grief/yare-yare

Hiiro then connected the reason why the two girls were blushing and decided to put some clothes on. Ornoth allowed it because he no longer needed to be massaged anymore.

Alright, time to try it!

While preparing a thorough stance and expressing enthusiasm with his words, he suddenly realized that the Kings Tree | Ouki seems to be in an uproar.

And the cause of that, Arnold, suddenly barged inside and shouted something to everyone present in the room.

Oi! We are under attack!

It was a sudden ambush report.
