Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

Episode 506: The Descending Demon King's Army

"Me and Chinatsu's combined moves, you did well! You don't have to get close, you can defeat your enemies unharmed, and your shoulders are warm ~"

Guru Guru and I spin my arms vigorously, Yuna with a mollusk face. Meanwhile, Chinatsu, who works on the road, looks very tired.

"As far as I'm concerned, you don't want to use these hands anymore. The time to remove the barrier is cynical..."

When they say merging moves, Yuna magically creates poisonous mud surrounded by the barrier of Chinatsu. The ball-shaped poisonous muddy barrier was just about the size of a baseball ball and the right size for Yuna to throw. If Yuna throws this at the enemy, and Chinatsu lifts the barrier around him during the collision, then only poisonous mud will hit the enemy. Moderately reduced exposure to soft mud can cause little damage to enemies and only muddy state abnormalities (general paralysis and coma). After being powerless that way, it's faster than the enemy falls out of the air, and Yuna kicks the universe with "Heavenly Drive" and touches the enemy. This is where gravitational manipulation is applied to slow down the fall speed. In order to end the battle efficiently, we did so in an effort to reduce magic - rather than, at the earliest, its purpose would be to train. Or maybe just moving forward normally was too boring for Yoonada.

And leave out the boring stories, and the journey across the territory of Elderado is about time the goal is close. Yonada, who had made all those who prevented him from going into battle (his HP was almost full), finally reached before the Empire of Elderado.

"Wow, castle in the old city! This is worth looking for!

"Maybe a little stuttered (surprised) that it's so bright"

Under their eyes, looking down from the sky, there was a vast castle town surrounded by walls that seemed tens of meters long, and a huge castle standing in its centre. Even though the sun is darkening around the setting, the Empire is filled with dazzling light, and the city is lit as bright as day. But it doesn't look like there are ordinary people in it, and all the people you see are soldiers.

"I wonder if martial law is laid. People who are not soldiers may be locked away in their homes."

"From now on, you'll normally be able to conduct combat, too, right? But if the bastard of the Emperor of Destination hides in one of those dwellings, he could get the average man involved, right? In that case, what do we do?

"Just like on the road, it's best to make sure you can't move alive... but honestly, if Elderado doesn't mind shaping, you think he'll start deliberately involving ordinary people in the fight. Just like terrorists, don't choose the means."

"Like planting bombs on people who want help?

"I don't want to think about it, but it's a good enough possibility. But, well, the most dangerous..."

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

- It's Kira.

He said he came to the Imperial City, but Kira's condition hasn't changed at all. Up to this point it was still a monotonous journey, but what happened after entering the interior of the Imperial capital and from now on it is Chinatsu, a headache in the presence of a mad warrior.

"I'll take on Mr. Kira's opponent after the break-in. It's me, in turn."

"So me and the knife are the explorers?

"Is that good? Isn't Chinatsu's sword compatible with this thug?

"It's easy to forget, but my profession is a monk? If the undead were their opponent, there would be no more compatible occupation."

"" Oh, sure!

About two of them forgot here.

"Ha, not at all... I'll use Flage's magic on everyone before I descend. I don't think the average soldier will ever find us if we stay transparent."

"Even to Mr. Kira?

"You can't do that. When Kira becomes transparent, the opposite is dangerous."

Chinatsu applies a flage to himself and Yuna, the knife. Its fine optical camouflage is truly stunning, and even if it is noticed, it can be unnoticed first. The carpet of the barrier is then also camouflaged to render everything but the killer invisible. I'll try to move straight up to the top of the castle of the Empire, but I don't see any enemies protecting the sky.

"No Enemy Shadow! A shame!"

"Maybe, but you've put all of this highly capable fighting force on the road? I think you've dropped quite a few enemies."

"Uh, like a hundred?

"More, Yuna. Not enough digits..."

"Where do you land more than that? You want to go separately from the beginning?

"No, we have plenty of time, and let's act together at first. But I can set it up from the corner sky, so maybe it's a good idea to go to the heaviest security spot. For example... a little cheap, but in the throne room or something?

"Oh, that's easy to understand. Vote there."

"I'm ok anywhere! Vote as well!

"It's a decision. Let's go down for that area."

"Copy that! Then let's go!

■ ■ ■

The three jump off the barrier and then Kira chases them.

"All right, Kira's bastards are coming with you."

"Wow, the wind feels good."

"Hmm... could this drop rate be a little faster?

"" Chi, Chinatsu?

A little dissatisfied with the falling motion in the atmosphere was unexpectedly Chinatsu. I tend to forget this too, but she's an extreme screamer machine lover. The level of screaming required by Chinatsu also seems to be increasing due to repeated levels.

"And I can't believe it, I'm gonna smash the roof, so stay back."

A knife that crushes the roof of a castle by crushing it when it collides with the castle. The impact sound was not suppressed by boulders at that time, and a roar called Zugan rang in the castle. Then, the grand landing tone for the four of us also sounds.

"Looks like we got out in the throne room as per the prospect. What the King looks like... None!

Yuna looks around more than in the wrapped dust and discovers the luxurious throne in vain. No one is sitting right now, but that's how I figure out this is the Throne Room. At the same time, I got a visual on the soldiers pokanizing around me.

"Hey, what's this noise!?

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!

"'No neck' has appeared on the throne! Call for backup!

■ ■ ■ ……

They are the ones who regained their sanity after a few seconds, but only Kira, who is not transparent, seems to be aware of Yoonada. Such cheer (?) Kira had also raised a disastrous roar from her neck to respond.

"Damn!?

"Grr..."

"Yay......!

It's also troublesome to get noisy and call for backup, so Yuna and the knife sweep away the soldiers around them. Less than a second, it took as long as all the soldiers guarding the throne room passed out, rather until they fell to the floor.

"Excuse me, but I'll have Mr. Kira detained, too. I've thought about it a lot, because this looks like the best."

Shortly after Kira's landing, Chinatsu erected a barrier around him. Of course, that's not a normal barrier to the wall. It is a prison of a barrier built around his form, as if it were a mould. Lock it inside an invisible wall, you might as well describe it that way.

■ ■ ■ ……

Kira's body stays in the landed pose and falls into the barrier perfectly, so she can't move one fingertip. That voice, which was cursed, also looks strange and upset.

"Oh, hey Chinatsu, can you breathe that? Is he gonna die?

"When I was being consulted by the undead people, I heard about their general characteristics, so I'm fine. Even if you can't breathe, the undead won't die. I can't even wield a weapon, so I think I'll have it in this state for a while."

"Heh..."

That, if humans are opponents, they'll choke after all, and Chinatsu is a knife who decides a great deal not to piss them off.

"Chinatsu, will you use the magic of state anomaly prevention on everyone because you will sprinkle poison inside your castle with a fume fog? I don't think it works for both of us, but for once, normal people are the ones who fall in one shot."

"Copy that. While I'm here, I'll put up a barrier between these thrones and replace them with bases. If anything happens, run in here."

"I'm starting to feel sorry for my enemies..."

Thus the castle of Elderado was filled with venomous gases ailing general paralysis & coma, and the Throne Room was to be used as a stronghold for the Iron Wall.
