Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
252. Dragon Fry
"Ha, wow...... Permeability..."
"The Garden of the Infinite," a drifting guard who was watching a fierce battle in the shade of its overstretched trees peeled his eyes,
"Have you decided? I don't need your help anymore."
Diegos, who was also watching the game next door, quietly hoisted the corner of his mouth,
"Ya... Yay! Lord Duane's done it.
More than two hundred red armors gathered on the front line blasted their wins in unison,
"Yay! Mr. Duen...! Yeah, I did, guys. - Whoa!
Behind the passenger seat, if Scenomea, who witnessed the moment over the mirror, makes his voice play, the surrounding audience will echo the praise to respond.
The joy of victory propagated one after the other as the ripples spread across the water.
- The first thing I noticed was the four of us watching what was going on at the observation deck about forty miles away.
"... what? That one."
What squealed was a big soldier who led the Belgrettes so far. The gaze is fixed far above the fallen 'Black Ghost' and the soldiers in joy - of.
"... no way... guys, you don't realize...?
The voice was trembling.
Yes. No one on that spot has noticed.
Too 'close', there's a blind spot.
It's the four people in this place who are far away that 'it' is in sight.
"... that, ha"
Belgrette, too, was just looking up and solidifying.
For a moment, I did think it was over. Without a curtain of his own, he thought he had settled.
Fallen down Predilecke. Duen and Dino standing by it. Red armored soldiers surrounding them.
Is there a height of about thirty miles directly above it?
In the hollow, something unusual was floating.
Less than a mile in length. The color is pitch black. It spreads with trembling two clear feathers much larger and thinner than its body, stationary in the air. The torso draped unusually thin and resembled a lion's tail or snake. Three thin, long legs to the left and right of the body, for a total of six. Overall shape, it was Belgrette's feeling that dragonflies would be closest -
"Dragonfly......? Yeah, thinner... kake, let's...?
Sakuragiri, who was similarly staring at the creature, shrugged.
"Cagelow?
If Belgrette keeps her eyes open,
"Oh, yeah. There's a bug in my hometown with that name. But... they do look alike, but that's..."
Seeing the continuation of the uttered word, the girl knight swallowed a spit.
- It's disastrous.
At first glance, the creature, which should be thin and luxurious, seems to create strange power and decadence. Similar appearance bugs and resentment demons also exist, but do not apply to any existing species. Even if he's a grudge demon, he's an unknown individual of Belgrette. That's the same for men and yuhimies who are soldiers, nailed to their different beings.
"That... where did you come from...?
No one answered Yuhimie's question. I couldn't answer that. They don't know the same thing. When. From where.
But even if you don't know - even if you haven't seen it, you can easily guess.
Shortly after Predilecke collapsed as he blew up smoke and splash, how long was that creature appearing in the air? Exactly the same color as the monster that was so fierce to this day, a dark body. I mean...
"That's..."
Sakuragiri still groans with a grudge. Everyone will think about it, that prediction.
"That's the..." The Black Ghost, "the contents... I mean... the main body...? Just before Mr. Duane hit you, you jumped out...?
No one responded to that question. I just don't want to admit it.
There was movement.
Immediately after wondering if the creature floating in the air was mozzled, he turns his face up and turns his body upside down.
"What...? Shrimp turned upside down...?
Shortly after Sakuragiri zeroed in, its abnormal thin belly began to swell slightly. It was like a snake.
It swells as I look at it.
"... is that... breathing... inhaling...?
The witch is right about that. The giant flying worm, which has greatly defied the body, appears to be atmospheric in its belly with tremendous momentum.
――――
What the hell are you willing to do? Look down at the soldiers under your eyes, breathe heavily, and what are you going to do?
- Not good.
Only a very unpleasant hunch swells inside Belgrette. Exactly, like the body of that organism.
"Huh... Mr. Yuhimie, give me the art of amplification!
Driven by anxiety, the girl knight makes an impulsive decision.
"Eh, ha, ha"
She started the procedure, wandering but following the instructions and finishing the chant.
- Not good. Something. If we don't stop that as soon as possible, it's gonna be a big deal.
For a second.
Pitali, and.
The giant feather worm, which kept breathing in, stopped moving as if time had stopped. I can't imagine it from the initial skinny, barrel-stricken appearance.
And
(... ugh, no, I can't make it -!)
The next thing I realized was Zeilin Yuente, the 'culprit', whose ability allows me to look at a wide range.
"Mm...?
'Black Ghost' finally sunk. soldiers boiling to victory around it.
At the time I raised the altitude of my gaze to project it into the mirror even in such a sight looking down from the overlook - huh, there was a foreign object crossing my sight.
Unexpectedly rub eyelids. I thought you had garbage in your eyes.
……――
No, it's not.
It is. Definitely, it exists on 'that side'.
I mean, on fallen monsters and rabid soldiers - far above.
I drew perspective and seriously confirmed that.
…………………
- What? This guy.
It's black and disastrous, flying creature. Unnaturally large and swollen abdomen. Red lighted right naval eye. The shape is different, and the color and characteristics of the body...
"... Mr. Zeilin, what did you want to do? I won, Mr. Duane did."
Neighbor Scenomea talks brightly all the time trying to please the victory together. But for the most part, the 'culprit', who was not supposed to move, was now unable to even respond to the call of a remote maiden.
"Mr. Zeilin......?
The transcendent just keeps an eye on 'it' even.
Here, a faint stirring voice began to rise from the surroundings. Some of the surrounding audience may have noticed. Far ahead, which was turning into a battlefield - over which a small black dot floats.
Harm pitch black featherworms. Look down at the Duanes, Dino, and the soldiers. What the hell is that belly that swelled up to do?
"……………………,"
Sooner than we can conclude, Zeilin skips the comms routine -
…………
Dino had his eyes on the fallen and lying Predilecke's remains.
That fierce black monster no longer moves with Pickle. The right eye, which was lit red by the poisonous, is also losing its color like a loose shell.
(loose shell, eh)
The analogy that came to my mind casually hooked me up to the back of my brain.
Black liquid blown out of the joint called the joint and gray flesh pieces scattered from the inside. It is torn like a huge tear from head to back by a tremendous impact thrust through it. At first glance, I did feel like it was also a shell out after I peeled it off.
"Well, you're cleaned up.... Mm..."
If I turned my attention to Duen's voice like that, there was a ripple of communication spreading in his ear.
"... Yes. This is Duane."
The spear-length response that just seeped through fatigue. It resonated so that it could be covered there by
"Duen! Up there - Huh!
It was a shitty scream of the transcendent, Zeilin Yuente.
Moment after moment, the ground rose.
――――
To parable it - as if the door that had been opened had been blown by strong winds and had closed momentum well. With such momentum, 'the earth is approaching'. So suddenly, then, for some reason, his arms didn't move aggressively either, Dino struck him in the face without the skill of exchanging on the ground.
(-... g... what,)
He trembles with his hands and tries to push the earth over.
I mean - I try to get up.
(Stand......,? What? I... fell, or...?)
Finally recognize the status quo and increase the percentage of soul and heart strength "Prarna" invested in physical strengthening.
It's like the ground isn't the ground, you can't tell the difference between heaven and earth - the first time you taste it, an extremely odd feeling.
(Body......, bye. Damn it... your nerves... you fucked up)
If you force yourself to pull your body off the ground and crawl and wake up,
……
A bunch of red armor gathered around. A total of more than two hundred soldiers of the Lefe fell and fell in the same way without one remaining. Fortunately, everyone seems to be breathing, but no one can get up and stay lying down.
(What... what happened -?)
Push your gaze further as you put your strength into your knees. Strong men like Ladail and Tyzene were also rolling, as a matter of course. And...
Right next to Dino to the left.
There was only one man, standing on the earth on both feet.
Wasteless lean. Face like a hungry wolf. The family of spears prevails, Duen Akelone. The face - a narrowed sharp gaze, looks far above.
…… …………――
Its mouth, sarcastically hoisted, stirred faintly. Dino didn't hear anything, but I could read it like it moved "you worm".
That's it.
Drop it.
From Duen's mouth, from his ears, from his nose, from his eyes - a red blood stream is transmitted.
That's oddly similar to the phenomenon that happened to the 'Black Ghost' he slammed into the depths.
Finally, the brunette, who had been stroked to the scalp, spread her sarcasm - Duen Akelone fell down at a glance.
……
Seeing the sight up close, Dino realizes for the first time. I'm distracted by a body that doesn't move as much as I want. I'm late to realise...
(My ears... I can't hear you)
When I fell, when Duane's mouth moved, and just now the moment he collapsed. One thing didn't sound right.
Focus on strengthening and focus your efforts to quickly regain ear function.
……
The moment your hearing demodulates.
What reached Dino's ear was a low roaring vibrating sound.
V, V, V -,
It's like amplifying a bug's feather multiple times heavier. It sounds from above. Little by little, they come close.
――――
Turn your face up instantly.
The presence was descending.
That was, by analogy, a black dragonfly.
From the head to the tip of the tail, its length is about a mile. It's too huge as a bug, but it would be an extremely small category as a grudge demon. Six elongated legs with hairs and confusion. The transparent feathers grown from its back are thin and long, extending to about four miles in length. Its widening of both wings had reached just under ten miles across.
It slowly landed opposite Dino, shaking those two feathers slightly. He does not land, but floats slightly of himself with heavy feathers.
On the face of the bug itself - the red, the right ship's eye shining by the poisonous.
"... hah... that's just a surprise. Is Sole who Temei is? You're a different monster from Zuyven."
That means I wasn't wrong. I looked at the creepy Predilecke and thought, "Looks like a loose shell" that feeling.
And
"... I'll compliment you for flipping this ole with 'Follow Me'"
The reason why Dino, more than two hundred soldiers around him, fell in unison. Only Duen, who stood alone in it, was the last reason he collapsed while overflowing with blood.
Sound shooting, but should I call it?
This monster growled at Duen from above - slamming a chunk of sound. I guess that was a payback for the pearl blow I took. Even if you think about it coming down like this, you can assume it's a big move of sorts that can't be repeated.
Whatever the aftermath, it paralyzed the ears of those around them. Dino doesn't recognize a voice like that. My eardrum hasn't been damaged either. Maybe it's the 'sound' of an area that can't be captured by people's ears. But the voice, which was certainly uttered, swayed the senses of those who were present, and made them faint on the spot.
How many shocks did the target Duane take? Waves of sound entering the body from ears, eyes, nose, and mouth must have probably scratched and rattled the gut called the gut.
It should no longer be just a coincidence that Duane, who took so many blows, was able to stand for so long. Just as coins thrown unconstructively can occasionally stand well.
But that won't last long - let Dino flank Duen, who won't even move with Pickle lying down beside him.
"Interesting, but... you were after me first."
Dino, completely free, swings at the same time that he can carry the flaming blade again on his left arm.
Disappeared.
The monster disappeared untouched.
――――――
Even the eyes of the reinforced transcendent cannot capture its remnants.
Maybe that was due to instinct.
For a moment, Dino quenched the flames and poured all of his power into the defensive technique.
Immediately after.
Faster than to carve a second, Dino Gailroen's flesh blew away as he bowed.
A defensive technique all over the 'Penta' body that completely outweighs even a stone throwing cannon or a Septius handshot. Don't take that as a thing.
A monster was floating through his feathers as a sword in the place where the flaming youth stood until just before.
"... ugh."
He was a drifting shield with his hips floating, but he accidentally bent on one knee.
"Mm..."
The same is true of the neighboring Digos, who calm down the giant.
"Be careful, Dr. Digos... If you fall into a river, it's not a noise of disqualification. You're gonna drown like that."
Sharp aftermath, like piercing the back of your head.
It wasn't that loud. But the tinnitus that suddenly struck me - possibly the monster's roar - inspired the Triple Half Regulation. And I've lost my sense of equilibrium.
but the drifting guards in a remote position would still be better.
Soldiers, ladails, etc. rolling on that spot should be hit by a feeling so indistinguishable between up, down, left and right.
By that peculiar physical enhancement, or the only dino that has been quickly reworked, is beaten by a black bug that flies around in an unusual way, making it a defensive one.
(Even that dino...)
Should I see it as being able to hold out oh well because it's rather that guy?
And...
…………
Duen Akelone, who lay low on the earth and stopped moving altogether.
that moment. It seemed as if something invisible had poured out of heaven. In the shadows of the trees watching the game, the branches became a shield and the monsters floating far above could not be seen.
If the showered sound was a condensed mass...
Does Duen have breath at present? Even if he was alive, he must be dying. The analogy I brought to Diegos earlier is about to become real.
I glanced sideways at the giant man's face, but it looked the same as usual. The moment my brother fell, he groaned only slightly lower, but nothing disturbed him.
(I'm ready, is that him...)
It was an almost incomprehensible feeling for a boy who grew up in modern Japan.
……
Liquid protection confirms the state of the war on the other shore.
(already...)
I don't even have to check.
More than two hundred soldiers are in total collapse, with one Dino struggling hard. Whether it was done with minor damage due to the distance, you can also see the soldiers trying to wake themselves up hard near the passenger seat, but honestly the war situation remains the same where they stood up.
It's hard to believe what I've seen, such as the tragedy caused by just one monster. It was a nightmare sight.
- It's not about the heavenly banquet anymore.
I can't see him from here, but Bergrette and Sakuragiri are supposed to be lurking somewhere not too far away. Probably depends on the distance, but if you do poorly, you may be equally unconscious.
If Dino breaks through, the defenseless soldiers next... they're in danger near it. Ultimately, there will also be sacrifices from the 30,000 audiences gathered.
"... that's it. Exactly, we're going to have to go."
In support of the tree beside him, the drift shelter rises.
My legs still flutter. Lost health hasn't recovered yet.
"Can you take him down?"
So a quiet question flew in.
"In that state... can you defeat him? Aliumi."
Turning his eyes, he had the serious face of Digos, who had deposited his back in the great tree.
"Well...... But... look, look."
Shoulder to shoulder, the drift guard sends his gaze across the shore.
Black shadows flying around endlessly. Its appearance, occasionally stationary to the pit and hollow, is too small and too thin compared to when it carried a two-wielded sickle.
"You look brittle. Oh, or you'll have to tap a fly already. Even a hit would be over, you know..."
- I know.
Even at this distance, "Speed" is fast enough to lose sight of it. Power enough to gently blow that dino and push it to the side of the defense.
Stream protection hasn't witnessed the moment that monster came out. In eating Duen's depths, he must have jumped out and fled to the sky, but it would mean he flew at a speed that went unnoticed.
And the roar that makes more than two hundred human beings faint simultaneously -
It can't be an easy opponent.
If you say so, the fly is on its own.
…………
If I dropped my eyes on both my own hands, I could clearly see them trembling.
I have been feeling it for a long time.
Fear. Death.
That chill when confronted with Farvnar. That heavy pressure the first time I was relative to Dino.
Think of it as something you didn't feel when facing Enrokak or Ji Foul at this heavenly banquet. It would also be due to anger emotions being outweighed.
But I still had the pride to be the root of it. Confidence that he has had the power of no other, accustomed to this act of combat in the other world, and has won more than once.
It also fogs such self-esteem, the existence of a grudge demon. That sense of despair is shaking this body for a long time.
"I thought the same thing..."
"What? Hmm?... What?
Liquid shield, who had been silently delayed, did not understand the meaning of the words of Digos and had leaked a dumb voice.
"It looks brittle, bye. He said if we hit him, we could take him down."
"Ooh.... What, are you serious?
As for drift protection, it was a zero line from strength, but the giant said it with a thick grin.
"You said that earlier. I have a hand. I need your help."
"My...?
Digos nods heavily.
"I don't know... but we have the means to figure it out from here, huh?
"Oh."
Without hesitation, the giant began chanting.
