What Do You Mean a Little Cheating Doesn't Count?

Rienta raised his hand and released [Projection Magic], a three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand, blocking the flying sword.

At the same time, two more [Rho Aias] flew towards Stark and Genau respectively.

Pale blue petals, carrying a shimmering light, enveloped the two of them.

Rewerdi repelled Genau and stared at Rienta.

According to the plan, You'en, disguised as a human, should have appeared at this time.

Even if the Human Mage in front of him is wary, as long as he attacks You'en first, the Human Mage will definitely come to his rescue.

That's human nature.

To its surprise, You'en did not appear.

Instead, a Human Mage appeared, and gave it a very dangerous feeling.

Judging from what they just did, the newcomer is undoubtedly a powerful mage.

In such a short time, he was able to react and block the longsword, and even managed to cast an unknown spell on the other two.

Judging from its form, it is definitely a Defensive Magic.

But why would he give me such a creepy feeling?

With just that Magic That Summons Longswords, similar to his own?

Or perhaps it's some unknown Defensive Magic?

Stark didn't find Rienta's presence at first, but he realized it when the familiar Defensive Magic enveloped him.

"Rienta, you've finally arrived!"

The open space outside the church.

Stark and Genau each had a sword wound on their chests, and the two stood to one side.

The unknown four-armed Demons stood silently, holding three longswords, his expression somber.

Rienta glanced around, her gaze lingering briefly on the Demons's severed tail, before using [High-Speed Movement Magic] to appear beside Stark and Genau.

He placed his hands on their shoulders, and a green light appeared.

The sword wounds on Stark and Genau began to heal at a visible speed.

On the other side, Rewerdi remained silent for a moment after witnessing this scene.

Since discovering this unknown mage, the feeling of impending doom has grown stronger.

Although the specific reason is unknown, as of now, if this person is allowed to treat that human warrior and the First-Class Mage, it will surely die.

A longsword appeared in Rewerdi's free hand.

Its body swayed slightly, adjusting to its body with its tail severed, before charging straight at the three.

Rienta frowned and spoke to reassure Genau, who was preparing to step forward to fight.

"Ignore this rude guy."

After saying that, several magic circles appeared in the void behind Rienta.

[Projection Magic] Construct.

Illusory longswords continuously emerged from the Magic Array Pattern, rushing towards Rewerdi.

[Rho Aias] are constructed.

A magic circle appeared beneath the three of them, with pale blue light flowing upwards, transforming into pale blue petals. The petals combined and arranged themselves to form a lotus flower, enveloping the three of them.

Rewerdi had just rushed to within ten meters of the three when he was pushed back by the torrent of longswords.

Left with no other choice, he could only keep swinging his four longswords to slash at the illusory swords that were attacking him.

Three seconds later, Rienta removed her hands from Stark and Genau's shoulders.

"Alright."

Genau subconsciously reached out to touch the spot where Rewerdi had just slashed him, but instead of pain, he was met with a strange and peculiar sensation.

Genau looked down at the place that gave him a strange feeling; beneath the tattered clothes lay a perfectly intact body.

He then looked at Rewerdi, who was trying to attack but was being suppressed by the endless torrent of longswords not far away.

Genau's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But after catching a glimpse of Stark's nonchalant expression out of the corner of his eye, he gave up.

Clearly, the two teammates were already used to this situation.

And now is not the time to talk about these things.

"Stark, Senior Genau, you two rest for a while. I'll handle this Demons."

"Then it's up to you." Stark nodded, picked up his Poleaxe, and walked to the side.

Genau did not refuse. Since the First-Class Mage Exam, Rienta's strength had already spread throughout the entire Magic Association.

First, the Mirror Image 'Rienta' in the 'Fallen King's Mausoleum' defeated all the mages except for Frieren and Fern.

It's important to understand that Mirror Image replicates all of the original's abilities except for its memories.

Among the candidates were quite a few that even he found challenging.

For example, Übel Dunkel.

Yet these people were still defeated by Rienta's Mirror Image.

Later, after the ceremony granting First-Class Mage Privileges, he even fought against Lady Lernen, a disciple of Lady Serie.

Rumors circulate that Lord Lernen was even at a disadvantage in their brief encounter.

Now, even the Divine Skill Rewerdi, which he and Stark had been fighting for so long without being able to defeat, couldn't even get close to Rienta.

A thought flashed through Genau's mind, and he quickly said:

"It is a great Demons Rewerdi Levuldi, renowned for its divine skills, and skilled in the Four-Sword Style."

Rienta nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, I understand."

Having said that, he walked step by step toward Rewerdi.

With his hands loosely clasped at his sides, four small Magic Array Pattern appeared on his palms.

[Projection Magic] Construct.

[Shadow-Driving Magic] Construction.

[Special Effects Magic] Construction.

In his right hand was a three-foot-long sword with a slender blade and a pale blue Sword Tassel on the hilt. In the void outside the sword, three illusory longswords circled parallel to it.

Candle-Clasping Blade his left hand; the blade was straight, single-edged, and purple lightning flashed in the void outside the blade.

[High-Speed Movement Magic] Construct.

[Strength to Lift Mountains] is a passive skill and does not require special activation.

Rienta's legs bent slightly, and with a sudden burst of power, she charged straight at Rewerdi, leaving only spiderweb-like cracks on the ground where she had stood.

At this moment, the torrent of illusory swords was reduced to its final aftershocks.

Rewerdi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it knew that such Mana- consuming attack would not last long, it was enough to buy the newly appeared mage time for treatment.

One against three, the odds of winning are very low.

Rewerdi waved his four arms, annihilating all the illusory longswords, and was about to say something.

A sense of impending death instantly enveloped my entire body.

"Wait..."

Before Rewerdi could finish speaking, his body instinctively compelled him to raise his longsword and cross it in front of him.

Boom!

Rienta and Rewerdi collided, kicking up clouds of dust.

The two were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before a massive figure was sent flying backward.

While flying backwards, Rewerdi's mind was in a bit of a mess.

For some reason, at the moment of impact, it felt as if it had seen that tremendous force before.

However, in its memory, it had never encountered this Human Mage.

When the Human Mage first appeared, he knocked the longsword that was being used as bait out of his hand.

But it dismissed it as a coincidence.

After all, according to the plan, it should have been You'en who appeared in that place.

The one who caught that longsword should have been the mage who used the [Magic to Control Black-Gold Wings].

You'en's [Detection Magic] is excellent, but his combat ability is rather disappointing.

Therefore, the longsword was not very fast.

It's understandable that this mage was able to block it.

He then cast Defensive Magic on the other two and healed them as well.

All these signs indicate that the mage is a support-oriented mage, similar to You'en.

But what's with that absurd torrent of longswords?

Oh right, he's a mage, so it's understandable that he uses some Offensive Magic.

So what are speed and power?
