It seems Paul has plenty of composure.
While warding off the Armored Warrior's sword strike with the sword in his right hand, the dagger in his left hand has already cut off one of the arms in a flash.
The armor seems quite solid, but it seems that has no effect.
Swordsmen of the Sword God style are monsters.
And, maybe that dagger's cutting edge is razor-sharp, I wonder.
It seems Elinalise is somewhat being suppressed.
By no means is she taking any large attacks, but with her attack power, she can't effectively damage them.
"Let's support them. Rudi, let's simultaneously fire off magic: on Elinalise-san's side."
"Understood,"
I prepare my staff.
What I'm using is [Rock Bullet].
If it's right now, when its legs are stopped, then it can't evade, as well.
Just, exactly how much speed it can ward off, I won't know unless I try it.
"Talhand-san!"
"Sure!"
Talhand prepared his shield and stood in front of us.
If a sword attack comes flying towards us, it seems Talhand intends to be the barrier.
As long as he doesn't die instantly, I'll use advanced healing magic.
It would be good, as long as he can avoid getting hit in a vital point.
"[Rock Bullet], [Stone Cannon]!"
"Gallant sword of ice, I seek conviction of this one! [Icicle Edge]!"
Timing it in sync with Roxy, we fired off at the same time.
A bullet-type shell and blade of ice like Ultra Slash went flying. [4]
The armor instantly moved to ward those attacks off.
Just as two of the swords moved, and were preparing to intercept the attack, Elinalise attacked using her shield with good timing, causing its stance to collapse.
The rock bullet blew off one of the armor’s arms and the ice blade deeply pierced the chest of the armor.
The armor stopped moving and soon after crumbled into scattering pieces.
Simultaneously Paul's fight ended, as well.
"As expected, after it reaches A rank then it won't so easily be defeated."
Though I said that, the actual amount of time we spent fighting was just about a minute.
Although we weren't able to defeat it in a single hit, it didn’t even enter the realm of a hard fight.
As expected of one who has reached Advanced with all three of the major swordsmanship styles.
In terms of talent, I'm sure it was enough that he could have made it to the level of Saint.
No, in reality, Paul might already be as strong as a Saint rank.
Something like the strengths of people can't be measured well in terms of rank after all.
"Tou-san, could it be, you've gotten a bit stronger since last time?"
Ah, no good,
I said something that might make him get full of himself.
A grand story of bragging might start up.
"Hn? No, that's not the case; almost to the point that I feel weaker than me in the past."
However, without even grinning, Paul only took one glance over here, and then faced ahead.
"Now, without being negligent, let's go."
With Paul's words, I came to my senses.
That's right.
Right now, we're in the middle of a labyrinth, we have no choice other than to stay on guard.
Nevertheless, Paul today sure is cool.
I'm sure if I were to tell Norn about these adventures with Paul, she would be delighted.
"Oh my?"
