Pulling it out of thin air, Dino held up a great sword comparable to himself in size.
A thick, wide single-edged sword, it seemed to have high killing power and was capable of decimating enemies with its weight.
A massive weapon that didn’t match any lightweight equipment like leather armor, it was a God class great sword inscribed with the name “Crumbling Fang”.
Beretta, on the other hand, was completely bare handed; however, his body was composed of Demon Steel that was originally created by Rimuru.
But in this moment, as the result of his form adapting well to Beretta’s magic power, the materials had transformed into Adamantite (Bio-Demon Steel) similar to that of Zegion’s.
As magic power circulated within him, it[1] had become a deadly weapon that had power stronger than even that of a Legend class weapon.
Its toughness was unparalleled in the labyrinth to the extent that a normal weapon couldn’t even scratch it. That was Beretta.
Against Dino who used a weapon, it wouldn’t mean that Beretta, who was weaponless, was at a disadvantage.
However, the offensive ability of Dino’s weapon seemed to exceed Beretta’s defensive ability.
Thus, Dino moved light-heartedly to break the tension that ran between the two.
Beretta skillfully warded off Dino’s sword strike despite being unarmed.
Without receiving the attacks headfirst, Beretta led Dino around with movements that fused both offense and defence.
While Dino’s attacks only came from the sword, Beretta’s whole body was a weapon. Being unarmed didn’t become a disadvantage - on the contrary, it enabled him to use many more methods of attacking.
For Beretta, who was a Chaos Doll, attribute transformation was his forte.
He drove the Holy attribute into the place that was adapted for Demonic attribute attacks. Thus, Dino’s position was sealed off by Beretta’s localized Holy Barrier for anti-individual use.
He confronted Dino with calculated movements so that he obtained the advantage.
But, Beretta’s true state of affairs was a situation in which he barely maintained the current delicate operation similar to that of threading a needle.
At any rate, the attribute attacks, both Holy and Demonic, didn’t become a decisive blow.
Dino is a Fallen Angel. He’s originally an existence of the Holy attribute that shifted into the Demonic attribute, so he should be weak to Holy attribute.
But for Dino, Holy and even Demonic are familiar attributes to him. Because of this, he had no weaknesses.
Beretta was saved by the fact that Dino couldn’t handle both attributes.
Also, it’s a situation where only a single blow of the fusion of both attributes by Beretta’s Unique Skill『Holy-Demonic Fusion』could somehow cause damage to him.
On the other hand, even if it’s only a sword strike, its single strike could cut Beretta easily.
The strength of Adamantite became very helpless in front of God class weapons.
At a glance, Beretta had continued the battle in an advantageous position but the situation could be immediately reversed with one incorrect move.
Beretta, who understood this situation well, was devoting himself to stalling and buying time, as he wasn’t fighting for victory.
He understood that he couldn’t win against Dino, but victory for him was not the defeat of his opponent.
