Is the Strongest in Another World a Hero? A Demon Lord? No! it’s a Fairy ~desu! - Chapter 122.1

The Holy Sword attribute of the Hinomoto was often mistaken by those who noticed it, but it was not [Stop Time], but rather the removal of her presence from all [Recognized Events]. [Time] was simply included as well.

Therefore, Hinomoto appeared to be moving without motion, and no matter how hard she was observed, she seemed invisible to the opponent because she could not be [Recognized].

Currently, when all the Events have been [Recognized], Hinomoto already finished all her actions.

“That’s too bad. As for me, I wanted to have a proper fight with you who was able to surpass Asahina’s status… But…”

Hinomoto tapped the collar around her neck. It was only slightly, but it was getting tighter and starting to bite into her neck.

“This thing gets a little tighter if I don’t follow orders. I’m afraid…I’m afraid of dying, too. I know you can’t hear any of this… but I want you to die.”

Hinomoto griped the Holy Sword and started to walk away. There was no need to rush, since a single stab would kill her. Even if she had some skill, it would not matter because she was out of the Event of Skills.

That is, if that [concept] could not be understood by her.

“…Fuu!!!”

And the moment the blow supposed to reap her life was delivered towards her heart.

The tip of the blade was grabbed.

“!!!?!???”

“That was indeed scary, but you know. You should at least make sure your target isn’t moving.”

Aidle, who grabbed the blade with two fingers while being surprised she didn’t even see it move, smiled bitterly as she had just [Recognized] the situation.

“I thought maybe you were just hiding, but, with the way you have been acting, it looks like [Conceptual Resistance] is perfect. I guess the surprise was a big success? And now…”

She touched Hinomoto’s collar. Then Hinomoto’s eyes widened.

“…It’s not tight anymore, did you just?”

“Cielo told me about that. You don’t want it off, do you? So for now, I just stopped the [Obedience] function.”

Aidle, who could use [Fairy Magic] with precision, smirked and said that it was a piece of cake.

Hinomoto, however, did not relax the force she exerted on her sword. She was about to deliver a swift kick, so Aidle let go of the sword and stepped back.

“Oops, you don’t want to stop fighting, do you?”

“I didn’t expect anyone other than those I know to have [Conceptual Resistance]. I am grateful for meddling with the collar, but even though the fear of suffering and death is gone, my shackles still remain, so the enforcement still remains. Unfortunately, I must comply!”

For whatever reason, Hinomoto continued the battle, even if the effects of the Holy Sword attribute did not work on Aidle herself, she simply shifted to her original way of fighting now that the constriction was no longer forced on her by the collar.

She also activated the Holy Sword attribute, and this time she disappeared under Aidle’s Recognition. In the snowfield, with no sound and no sign of her, Aidle stood alone, but there was no impatience in her expression.

“…Oh, it’s like an enhanced version of [Concealment], isn’t it?”

“Tsk, what kind of intuition do you have?”

Aidle intercepted Hinomoto’s sword, which suddenly appeared from the side that was already positioned for an attack, instantly and flicked it away.

Hinomoto started to deliver it in the same manner as before, but this time in a barrage of blows.
