Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume11 Chapter7 (section)

===Part 7===

(This is trickier than imagined&mdash;)

Kamito used his dual swords to deflect the numerous steel wires released inside the blizzard.

Fenrir's claws attacked while his view was obscured. The howling wind numbed his hearing and the cold air was gradually sapping Kamito's stamina.

(...I'm reaching my limit in dodging through sensing their presences alone.)

Using the demon sword's blade, he parried the shining claws of ice&mdash;

Kamito pulled back from the berserk demon ice spirit.

Simply in terms of defeating it, there were quite a number of opportunities.

However, the opponent was Fenrir. If he used the wrong level of strength, he might kill it.

(The spirit seal carved by the demon spirit should be somewhere&mdash;)

He just needed to destroy it using the Demon Slayer.

However, he still could not find a remotely plausible target.

As soon as he exited the range of the blizzard, daggers would immediately flit across his face.

The Instructional School's assassins ambushed Kamito as they continually changed their positions.

ROOOAAAR!

Fenrir's figure suddenly appeared inside the blizzard.

Its giant jaws opened wide before him, releasing cold breath&mdash;

(Crap&mdash;)

Just at that moment&mdash;

Kamito noticed.

(...''It's over there''!)

At the same time, he sensed presences behind him.

The assassin's magic mithril daggers were nearing his neck.

"...!"

Just as the icy blades touched his neck, in that instant&mdash;

"Imprison my enemies in an eternal curse of ice, until the time of judgment&mdash;Ice Forest!"

The stern voice shook the air.

Out from the ground, vines of cursed ice turned the assassins surrounding Kamito into ice sculptures.

This was high-level spirit magic for incapacitating multiple targets.

(...Could it actually be Rinslet?)

In a state with her contracted spirit lost, she could not possibly perform this level of spirit magic.

But the voice he heard was unmistakably hers.

Just as the killing intent disappeared behind him&mdash;

"If you want to eat my arm, here you go&mdash;"

Kamito inserted his right arm into Fenrir's mouth.

Next&mdash;

"&mdash;I'm relying on you, Est!"

He poured all his divine power into the Demon Slayer.

In the next instant, a flash erupted and the demon ice spirit's entire body was enveloped in light.

Indeed, the cursed spirit seal was carved right on the demon wolf's tongue.

The instant Fenrir opened its huge jaws, Kamito pierced the seal.

The howling blizzard subsided and the cavern's interior returned to silence.

"...Do you still want to continue? Sjora Kahn."

Pulling out the Demon Slayer from the motionlessly standing Fenrir&mdash;

Kamito turned his gaze towards the Theocracy's witch.

"..."

There were three subordinates of the Instructional School remaining. Although Sjora had not summoned her demon spirit, Bandersnatch, so long as he stayed wary of her power to steal spirits, there was nothing to fear.

"So be it. Using this body, I have no chance of winning."

Sjora was unexpectedly up front.

She made a gesture to her subordinates.

Once they had swiftly taken away their collapsed companions and disappeared into the darkness, the witch turned towards Kamito again.

"&mdash;See you next time. The other Demon King."

Then just as Kamito was thinking she was going to chant some kind of spell&mdash;

Sjora vanished into thin air.
