The straw mats on these posts have been compressed as much as possible with sorcery.

I can cut them. And yet...

If I put my real strength into the blow, the sword is bent.

The mat shouldn't spin out like that.

I can't fight at full strength in battle at this rate...

the swords won't be able to withstand it.

I can restrain my strength, but...

He was more durable than these posts.

If I want to be able to bisect a demon, then...

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability

Episode 10: Sylpha's Blade

The second prince!

That maid... where have I seen her before?

Help's here.

Huh?? Huh??

The first matter is to deal with these people.

Wait, doesn't the demon mob come first? They seem more important!

This one was up in the tower.

No.

These people come first.

Assassin Guild, your scheme has been laid bare...

Now, where is Prince Lloyd?

Not good!

For every minute of silence,

or every time you try to lie, one of your heads will come off.

P-Prince Lloyd is fighting in the lord's castle!

Fighting? With whom? For what reason?

For the sake of us, the Assassin's Guild.

Yeah, he's up against the boss of the demons!

Wait!

Don't forget our promise to Prince Lloyd.

Oh, right... I don't think it's likely, but,

if you run into anyone from the castle,

keep my strength and Grim a secret.

He's about to conk out.

Okay... but why keep it a secret?

The attention would be annoying...

I just want to be able to focus on my magic studies...

I'm being serious here... please.

The people from the castle can't find out about Prince Lloyd's fight!

They'll see how strong he is, and they'd get in the way!

Then what do we say?!

Right, it's time to have someone say goodbye to their head.

W-Wait!

Lloyd is fighting a total loser!

Yeah!

I suppose I can start with you.

Wait, Sylpha.

Prince Albert is supposed to be the kindest and most intellectual of all the princes!

I'm sure he'll believe us!

Hooray for Albert! Hooray for Albert!

I don't like starting with a child, so let's do one of the adults first.

Bwuhhh?

Shut up, all of you.

Look at this!

That's Prince Lloyd's!

Why would Lloyd be fighting for the people who left this out as a threat?

Don't try and feed us nonsense.

You've got it all wrong!

The clothes were just covered in my fluids, so we left them out to dry...

Covered in your fluids?!

Covered in your fluids?!

Wow! Nothing I say is gonna help, is it?!

Wait!

It's only natural you don't believe us. But...

Just like how you all are worried about Lloyd,

I'm grateful for how you've saved my family.

I'll do whatever you want. I'll even be punished!

But those demons... they took Jade... took one of my family!

That's why Lloyd's fighting!

You have to believe me!

You damned humans!

A lesser fenrir?!

I think that...

we can believe the girl!

If nothing else, Liru would've gobbled her up if she sensed any bad intentions.

All right.

I'll put our faith in her instinct for now.

And that means dealing with this horde of demons...

Sylpha, find Lloyd and retrieve him.

Understood.

Wait, wait! Lloyd's fighting a total weakling, so he doesn't need any help!

Shut up or die.

What just happened?!

I can't tell! The bridge just collapsed!

Al!

The demons are heading across the river and towards the bank!

Not good! If they get around us, we'll be trapped!

Everyone, back to the riverbank!

But I'm so close... Prince Lloyd is right there!

And this is more convenient for you?

Yep.

It's so strange. There's a considerable force down there,

yet I find myself unable to pry my attention from you.

I assume the feeling is mutual?

Not exactly.

I know you're worried about the gang,

but you don't wanna take your eyes off this guy!

And what's with the sword?

Prince Lloyd, what're you...?

Fire!

Looks like I can let the others handle everything down there.

Which means I can focus.

Quit spewing that crap everywhere! It's hot!

Regenerating is a pain, so knock it off!

They definitely have resistance to magic...

But it's having some effect, at least.

I'm not sure what to do about their bodies, though...

DiLlord!

One of them's got way more firepower than the rest!

Damn it! They can still move after that?!

It's gonna take major duty magic to take them down...

What do we do, Al?!

The Spellbound Swords use up the wielder's mana.

Fighting at this range, our troops are gonna run out of mana

before the demons stop regenerating!

And if we keep blasting away, the flaming smoke

is gonna make it hard for our best melee fighters, Liru and Sylpha, to get close!

He's right.

We have to arrange it so that Sylpha and Liru can move freely...

Wait, where is Sylpha?

Go, Shiro! Take us to your master!

Come on, lady, I don't think that's doable!

It's too far!

I suppose he won't be able to carry me that kind of distance...

Maybe if he bites onto this rope...

No, no, that's not gonna work either!

Master is over there, woof...

Shiro!

I wanna see him, woof!

The dumb dog jumped!

Why?!

Wait, the rope!

I failed, woof...

Maybe if I jump...

Come on, lady! Just work with Prince Albert!

He'll be fine. He's got Liru with him.

What impressive defense.

What... was that?

I couldn't follow any of that.

Maid... you seem to be rather confident in your sword skills.

Allow me to share with you some devastating news...

While my associates are tenth-class demons,

I, myself, am eighth-class, as well as

a practitioner of the Supreme Swords of the Netherworld: Demon Blade Form!

Classes?

Then there are ranks to demons?

I wonder what class he was?

In that case, let me share some equally devastating news...

You must be a fool.

It doesn't matter how much noise you make, insect.

It's less distracting than a mosquito's buzzing.

You...

have a turd on your head.

I do not!

Hat

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability

It's clear that the citizens of Lordost have had their bodies stolen by the demons...

Is there no way to save them?

Your head is mine!

They got around us!

Hope you don't mind.

No, I appreciate it.

The name's Babylon.

I take it you're willing to fight together?

Damn it... Move, oafish body!

You didn't hesitate at all.

You really are a nice guy.

You remind me of our former leader.

I know we're not exactly admirable.

And I'm not gonna make excuses about how we didn't have any other options of life...

but we don't take life lightly, either.

You little shit!

Gimme your body!

Prince Albert, these people... they're done for.

You puny humans better not look down on me...!

All that's left are demons with meat suits. There's no saving them.

Their minds are...

apparently long dead.

Thank you for the advice, Babylon.

Brave and proud citizens of Lordost.

Rising flames...

You've been stolen from. Humiliated.

I can only imagine how humiliating that's been.

Raining flames...

I apologize for arriving too late.

Flame that reduces all to oblivion...

Now, I'm going to set you free!

Come forth!

Infernum Immorcier!

Cast aside your mercy, men!

As of now, we are battling to eradicate these invaders!

You just had to overdo it!

We fight... to avenge the loss of our neighbors.

Do not suffer these usurpers!

Demon Blade Form: Nightwalker!

Demon Blade Form...

House of Langlis...

Dragon Wing Rising!

Unholy Centipede!

House of Langlis, Wolf Fang!

Demon Blade Form, Great Tengu!

Amazing!

Who the hell is that maid?!

How do you have to train to move like that?

Lady!

An even match...

would be a foolish assumption.

We are able to exceed human limitations.

That is our demonic right!

Damn it, if she can't kill him with one hit, the bastard will just regenerate!

I've made up my mind. I don't want a Blighted body anymore...

I'll take yours!

That way my Demon Blade Form can reach even greater heights!

And I may as well make use of your House Langlis sword arts, as well.

Just like... this.

Lordost Style, Art of the Draw...

His dominant hand changed?

Winter Winds!

L-Lordost style?!

The school of swordsmanship that this body's owner used.

The people of Lordost were known for their martial interests.

And this one was quite skilled!

Look at these calloused hands.

I can only imagine how much effort he sunk into his training.

I remember there was some sort of metal ring on this finger...

But it was in the way, so I threw it out!

He must've had quite a life... The totality of his experiences...

And now those memories, and his body, all belong to me.

You people are basically like clothing to us.

And I'm going to wear you, maid! Until you're in absolute tatters!

What do you freaks think humans are?!

Why would I concern myself with the lives of insects?

Demon Blade Form...

Great Tengu!

It's the move he used!

You can use Demon Blade Forms?!

No. I just learned it by watching.

You can't even steal a technique, without stealing the body of an insect?

Tell him off, lady!

I suppose that waste has filled the inside of your head, as well.

Shiro!

The dog climbed back up!

Fighting with that bearwolf won't mean your chances have improved!

Prince Lloyd... I'm going to make good use of this.

A pilfered body cannot possibly compare...

to the reaches that humanity's pursuit of wisdom can lead to.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Sylpha!

Prince Lloyd?

This sword...

Lloyd and I made it!

My thanks for him helping me with the Spellbound Swords.

This one doesn't have any flashy spells inscribed on it.

It was made specifically to be as strong and flexible as possible!

It can withstand your full power, Sylpha.

I bet you can cut down a demon with it!

Demons might be psychic entities,

but they can't actually do much without a physical body...

Which is why they construct their own, or possess humans for theirs.

Still, even when hosting a demon, the construction is still the same.

If the body dies, the demon inside of it dies, too.

The only problem is, when under demon control, a body can be really powerful;

it takes a serious attack to do any kind of damage,

and even that damage can be regenerated in an instant.

How the hell do you beat them, then?

You need to strike them down in a single, seriously powerful attack!

Strength and flexibility...

Why did you choose those kinds of sorcery for the sword, Prince Lloyd?

Well, y'know...

Whenever you swing a sword it's...

like you're always holding back some.

I thought, "Maybe she can't go all out because she's worried about the sword?"

House of Langlis, Flowing Maid Hug...!

Flowing

Hug♥

You were paying... that kind of attention to me.

I will cherish this sword!

We oughta figure out what to call it!

Let's take Lloyd, Sylpha, and my names...

Dilopha

And call it Dilopha!

Lloypha

Lloypha you say?!

Where'd my name go?

While that name has its charm... I believe...

I'm going to name it with an eye towards redeeming my recent failure...

I shall never disappoint my master ever again.

The Spellbound Sword: Demonbane.

I will now put it to use.

Ridiculous... Whose bane is that supposed to be?

I can't believe you'd give the sword such a fantastical name,

especially considering your future is already set in stone!

What the hell is he...?

This country's future...

is a nightmare onslaught! For no rhyme or reason at all!

A nation in ruins, simply to amuse us!

This plan was originally concocted to lure Jade out.

Once we had taken these bodies, we stirred up the tidings of war...

And of course, Jade came running back home!

You people knew that Jade hated war!

It really was...

all their fault!

I won't let you

wage a war!

Don't get in the way.

And don't worry.

This nightmare onslaught...

will not

come to pass.

Very well. Then I'll prove it to you...

with my Demon Blade Form's ultimate secret!

House of Langlis...

Leading Tiger Bite.

Leading Tiger Bite

Fascinating. You've put on quite the show.

Now, keep me entertained, Seventh Prince!
