Chain Flare—one of Angelica Honest’s original spells. It’s a powerful technique that scatters countless fire seeds, detonating them at regular intervals to create chain reactions of perpetual explosions, resulting in multiplicative power. Its use was said to be possible only with the amazing magical technique and knowledge of Angelica, known as the wise.
This was indeed true. The version Anon used was far from Angelica’s spell created by countless flames—it was a magic created by only nine flames, not even reaching double digits.
Nevertheless, controlling nine flames simultaneously was utterly impossible with ordinary skill, an achievement only Anon, once called omnipotent, could accomplish. And while the spell was significantly incomplete compared to the wise one’s version, its power matched its difficulty.
So, if possible, he hoped this would end it—
「Useless. Attacks don’t work on me.」
A voice echoed through the blazing explosion. Norald’s voice. As the smoke cleared, the two figures became visible.
「Hood guy—finally showing yourself, huh?」
Because he had to focus on using the potentially fatal Chain Flare, he ended up revealing himself. Once someone has glimpsed your form, it’s difficult to completely disappear again. Or rather, in this tense situation, it was impossible.
「How rude. ‘Hood guy’ is such an inelegant name. My name is Hector Rodriguez XV.」
It was an alias.
「Shut up, hood guy. Don’t mess with me. That’s a fake name.」
Instantly busted. Well, I’m no different from Ichiro, Anon thinks to himself while continuing his analysis.
The unusually well-defended brother Norald is protecting his sister Wiz. From his words, it’s clear he’s confident his defense can never be broken. So it’s simple. The Unknown’s weak point is the sister, Wiz. Also, while the nature of brother Norald’s defense remains unclear, sister Wiz’s defense is undoubtedly a barrier.
「Really… what an astonishing idiot. What’s the point of asking me, your opponent, whether it’s a fake name or not?」
He taunts, trying to dull their judgment even slightly. Anon keeps his mind ready to pull THAT out of his magic bag at any moment.
「Keep talking. No matter how much you struggle, your life will end in just a little while.」
A little while—how long exactly—the opponent has some kind of ultimate move—then before that—
「Haaa.」
Anon lets out a deep sigh and simultaneously starts running.
「Wha—!!」
Norald lets out a momentarily confused voice. Sister Wiz continues with some kind of incantation as before.
No matter. I’ll crush her before she can activate it.
A sudden start with rapid acceleration—moving unpredictably to confuse the Unknown siblings, he quickly closes the distance between them. Then, putting his hand into his magic bag again, like a magician concealing a card with a back palm, he takes out THAT which he had prepared, targeting their blind spot.
And then, skillfully avoiding Norald who is brandishing his sword to protect his sister—he brings THAT hidden in his right hand—a pile-bunker type magical weapon—clank!!—into contact with sister Wiz’s barrier—
「Stooooop!!!」
「You think I would?」
He activates it.
A roar—followed by the sound of glass shattering echoed. It was the sound of Wiz’s barrier being completely destroyed. Facing the now exposed Wiz, Anon finally got one—as he internally let out a sigh of relief—at that very moment.
「Just in time.」
Norald whispered.
「Room Make.」
Wiz announced—instantly, all living beings within a radius of about ten meters around her were engulfed by light emitted from her staff.

☆Room Maker☆ One of the Mythical Weapons that once existed in the Lionel Empire’s treasure vault. Currently equipped by the sister of the assassin known as the Unknown. It significantly enhances the owner’s mana while granting first-class barrier creation ability. Furthermore, Room Maker’s greatest feature is that it enables the creation of a space different from the normal world, making it possible to isolate targets, whether living beings or inanimate objects. The created space can also be given various restrictions according to the owner’s proficiency.
◇◇◇
「What are you spacing out for, hood guy?」
「Where exactly is this—」
Anon looks around. It was a space best described as a cube with sides of about 15-20 meters. There was nothing, just a white space. Inside were only himself and the two Unknown.
「This? This is your grave—!!」
Norald begins running toward him, raising his sword. His sword was decent, but merely 「decent.」 Anon faced Norald, whose skills were below his own, but remained cautious. While avoiding his attacks, Anon returned the pile-bunker type magical weapon to his magic bag and immediately drew out a sword. Just then, sister Wiz raised her voice.
「Brother! I’m going back first!」
After confirming her brother’s nod, sister Wiz disappeared from this closed space.
「So that’s how it is. Hood guy, you’ve been quite a nuisance.」
With those words, Norald’s sword swung with murderous intent. But Anon nimbly avoided all of them and instead slashed at Norald’s torso. The resistance was sufficient. However—
「Don’t you understand when I say it’s useless?」

☆Reject Heart☆ One of the Mythical Weapons that once existed in the Lionel Empire’s treasure vault. Currently equipped by the brother of the assassin known as the Unknown. It’s a thin full-body armor. It responds to hostility and completely nullifies attacks.
◇◇◇
Unharmed. Anon saw the armor under Norald’s robe. It was visibly a masterpiece. Not a single scratch. So I have to break through this… well. For the first time since arriving here, Anon broke into a cold sweat.
Norald, facing him, swung his sword for the third time. It wasn’t a particularly refined sword. Anon received the overhead strike with his own sword—
◇◇◇
☆Heated Butter Knife☆ Despite being called a knife, it is a proper sword. One of the Mythical Weapons that once existed in the Lionel Empire’s treasure vault. Currently equipped by the brother of the assassin known as the Unknown. Despite its silly name, it possesses deadly capabilities. If equipment hit by this sword’s attack is of less than Legendary-grade performance, it will be cut through without exception, as if a heated butter knife cutting through butter.
◇◇◇
Norald’s sword bisected Anon’s sword without a sound—and the unstoppable blade finally slashed through Anon.
