Kuro no Maou

By the full dawn of the night, the Crusades had withdrawn.

Friendly corpses are lit up in the morning and exposed to the streets.Some evil spirits were still drifting, and I saw a zombie sneaking up from a pile of corpses and starting to roam.

"Congratulations, Krono."

"It's not a big deal.I just went a little out of my mind, and then I had to make things easier. "

By the time the Heavy Cavalry arrived, Sparda's defenses had also regained their posture and redeployed to the Wall to launch a counterattack.

The broken gates are enchanted by Fiona's soil attributes.It was blocked, or the gate turned into a big stone tower.Anyway, it doesn't shake as much as it was attacked.

When I get back, I'll go up to the Wall, and then I'll work with my men just to "The Greed" off.

The defensive posture and the addition of Heavy Cavalry fire gave this location ample defense.After a while of shooting, the Crusades finally gave up and left.

The Crusades are retreating, and the Spartan Guards are cheering.We managed to get back from the field where the gate was torn and finally retreated from that army.Correctly deserves the sight of victory.

However, I can't be honest with myself.Those who have left here are just some of the troops that the nobles have rushed into.

Of course, the Eighth Apostle Eye, who is faking the rumored image of Prince Eisenhalt, did not launch one of the Taurus.

Sariel says that Taurus is the thing that the bishop of Judas restored that which was excavated at the fourth institute in Daedalus, and its ownership is the "White Mystery", or, in larger brackets, the Cross Church.

In other words, since Taurus is not personally owned by the aristocrats, he owes it to the church, that is, his share will be reduced even if he does battle, so he wants to win by his own soldiers if possible.

As much as the Count of Bergundt, who was the general of the Spartan offensive in the Fifth Galahad War, even if he owed the church, he would want to expand his power.

Regardless, to the extent that archers, magicians, and even heavy knights, mainly infantry, have retreated from the very ordinary formation of the Crusades, the main unit that is forming ahead of this boulevard has not been hurt at all.If it bothers you, you can attack back immediately.

At that time, will the Eighth Apostle Eye finally come out, or will the proper nobles still come into the battle for kung fu....

"Next time, I'll work a little more."

"If there's more than one taurus coming out, please."

It was clear that the men who were attacking the gate were only a small part of the Crusades, so I was the only one who rampaged and kept Fiona out of the way.

If the whole army retreats in this battle alone, I can spare no effort, but I want to avoid the exhaustion of my allies as much as possible, as long as the enemy has most leeway.Fiona is still our biggest firepower after the formation of the Dark Knights.

Sariel is still working as hard as aerial reconnaissance.Over Sparta, enemies are also flying glittering horses (Pegasus Knight) from the sky for reconnaissance, but there is no full-scale air combat.

The Knights of Tenma are the best fighters in the world.I will not allow all horses to launch unless absolutely necessary, and if so, Sariel will have to fight.

"I'm watching this place, so Krono should rest for a while."

"I also consumed magic there.Thank you for letting me. "

I'm confident in Stamina, but if we fight the boulder with all its magic, it will wear out as fast as it can.Even with the protection of the Demon King, there is still some black magic that consumes a lot of magic now.This time, I've done a lot of blackening, especially for zombies.

"... hmm?"

And I somehow feel uncomfortable with the tragic battlefield tracks I was watching.

I wonder, something like black fog seems to be swirling around...

This is a defensive battle where attack magic is disturbed.Since it explodes and burns, smoke rises from there and enters.But it's not. I don't think that's just smoke coming through.

The black fog must not make you feel any worse.That's what the dark temple of the anti-soul song (Reyem Hall) has summoned...

"--Uh-oh!?"

And the unexpected voice of surprise leaked because, at that moment, "Hounted Grave" jumped out of the shadow under his feet.

Also, a suspicious black fog suddenly swirls over here, like it reacted to something.

To the "Horned Grave" that flew into the air, the black vortex was sucked in... or completely sucked in.

Originally turned black by blackening, "horned graves" gradually collapse in shape, wrapped in a large amount of black fog.It's just like turning from a black sword to a real shadow.

The silhouette of the sword sways like it has lost its identity as a weapon, but the signs of magic you can feel from it grow rapidly.If I come this far, I'll know what's going on with Horned Grave.

"I didn't expect it to evolve at a time like this."

Absorbing all the black fog and forming a clear shape from the shadows again, "Horned Grave" came back into my hand as if he had remembered the existence of gravity by now.

I understood the moment I grabbed his handle with my high right hand.

A new name from "Horned Grave."

"----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a black scythe.

It's a big, sharp, vicious sickle like the Reaper has.

The sword in the shape of the crescent sword grew even bigger, and the magical line ran like a blood vessel, repeating spooky flashes.The hue is not red but poisonous purple.

The simple pattern is transformed into a distorted shape with long bones intertwined.In addition, the base of the blade and the handle are connected by a joint, and the perimeter is decorated with a metallic decoration that mimics the muscle fiber.

The biological design also looked like a monster finger with a huge hook claw.

I think it has turned into quite a miserable figure and its usefulness as a weapon has declined, but from this feeling of gripping, it seems that there is no need to worry about it.The curse grew bigger and bigger every time it evolved, but I never struggled to get around it.The grip of this Engrave Doom gives me a sense of unity as if my arms had changed into the clawed monster itself.

"Well, congratulations, shouldn't I say?"

"It's strange that a cursed weapon should be happy to evolve, but in my case, you should be honest with me."

Fiona sends her congratulations.

Usually a cursed weapon becomes more powerful, but as long as I use it, it's simply a power boost.

"It's been a long time since Horned Grave was acquired, but should we assume that the conditions of evolution were better for the use of undead abilities than the number of killings?"

"Oh, I see that's the right direction."

Each cursed weapon has its own history.As we evolve, we need actions and ways to fight the curse.

In the case of 'chopping off the neck', it was simply a simple condition of killing many people with that blade and defeating the stronger ones.Fiona had to be cut because it was a special condition.

In the case of sheep, a strong ego was established and evolved because the person wanted stronger power.This may be better called growth than evolutionary conditions.

And in this Horned Grave, the key to evolution will be the use of the Dark Temple of Anti-Sound Songs (Reyem Hall).

By driving a large number of Crusaders mad and turning their bodies into zombies, it seems that they were able to satisfy the evolutionary conditions at once.Well, if you use it normally, you can't set it up for such a large number of people.

"Speaking of which, Horned Grave was originally an anecdote that turned all the people who were there into zombies when we destroyed the city.It would be natural to specialize in undead abilities. "

The owner's grave keeper was thrilled that the boy he loved had been played and killed by a nobleman or a lord, and he jumped out of the cemetery and avenged himself.It is a tragedy for the people who lived in the city, but it is also a tragedy.

Regardless, Tomb Guardian was proud of his ability to afford to undead the entire urban population.You should think that evolution will restore the power of its powerful necromancy.

Hopefully, the entire Crusade army will turn into zombies... At least the effects of the "Dark Temple of Anti-Sound Songs (Reyem Hall)" will certainly increase, so I look forward to the next concert.

"Kurono-san, if it's named 'The Gate Key', the effect may not be simple necromancy."

I thought if the corpse came back as a zombie, it would be the same thing.

"It is necromancy that holds its magic and moves the body."

Yes, that's why you can increase the chance of resurrecting as a zombie by casting black magic on the body.

The energy source used to move the lifeless body is black magic.

"Horned Grave's Resurrection of the Dead is a magic that makes the body zombie by possessing evil spirits, but I think the essence of the effect of Engrave Doom is not undead, but summoning evil spirits."

"I see. Calling evil spirits is more serious, and turning them into zombies with evil spirits is only a secondary effect."

"Yes, and the principle of summoning evil spirits is to 'open the gates of hell'."

Is that why it's the "key"?

The key to opening the gates of Hell, which call evil spirits into the world, not swords or scythes, is the identity of this weapon.

The Stone of Stream is Fiona. As a witch, it is a sharp reflection on magic effects.

"Isn't that... unprecedented?"

"If you can't control it, perhaps there will be a stampede of demons and zombies."

Speaking of which, once upon a time you defeated an evil necromancer named Zonder.I think he had an ambition to make Sparda zombie panic with a biohazard deployment... but if he succeeds, I could cause it.

Well, isn't Kurono-san okay?

"Hey, don't throw at me suddenly."

"If you're going to open the 'Dark Temple of Anti-Sound Songs (Reyem Hall)' entirely, it's only in the middle of the enemy.You just don't have to use it in a situation where you care about your allies. "

"That's true."

"When it's time, Lily, the magical monster of light, will do whatever it takes."

"Like the first level of the legacy race?"

"Yeah, like that."

Lily and the others are taking a look at the maze on the tape.

In the first tier of the stampede state, the tsunami of the zombie was once again made to feel Lily's awesomeness as it cut through the fairy boundary (Oracle Field) from the front.

Anyway, the use of "The Dark Temple of Anti-Sound Songs (Reyem Hall)" remains unchanged, so you can't help worrying about it.

However, there will still be occasions when we have to rely on this state of war.

"But in the shape of a scythe, it seems difficult to treat as a weapon with a long handle on a boulder."

I've never used anything like a scythe, even if I'm a bastard who doesn't choose weapons and can use anything.

I've only seen the Eleventh Apostle Mass.He is not a scythe user, because he is swinging around with the Apostle's cheat specs, and it is determined to be strong whether it is a stick, a scoop or anything.

I don't miss out on just miscellaneous soldiers, but when I think about taking an elite with more than heavy knights, I feel more comfortable with a sword.

Gigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigi!!

And the Engrave Doom deformed with a sound.

From the shape of a sickle to the shape of a sword with the blade standing vertically.

"Seriously, he's deformed..."

"You love changing the shape to suit your tastes, Mr. Krono."

"I don't know if there's love, but if we get there, we have to use it."

The battle is not over yet.

"Prison Gate Key Engrave Doom", your turn will be back soon.

Kurono's Dark Knights, Warlock, Infantry, and Knights of Chaos combined to bring the Pandemonium army to Sparta after noon.

"Oh dear, can you finally come back?The amulet of the infantry was pushed into trouble. "

"This is a palace service, Zeno."

"I know. That's why I brought the whole army here seriously."

Behind the riding Zenongart, an army of black costumes follows Zorosolo and the streets.We've come this far at a fairly fast pace, but none of the dropouts have escaped.I didn't bring the best to Date.

Kurono, Lily, and the two best commanders have all left, so it is Knights of Chaos Zenongart who leads the Pandemonium army today.

Roku will return to Dragonfly without contradiction with the enemy army, which is not an interesting development for Zenongart.

I think it would have been worthwhile if you had given me the task of rushing to Sparta, the capital... but the unscrupulous rescue was a delicious place where the Commander would have done it himself.

However, Zenongard, who understood the strength of Elementor's bones, was not opposed to their going to the fastest rescue.

"The battle still seems to be going on..."

Tina makes her long ears tingle, an elf trademark.

The main gate of Spada's Tokyo University is open.

There is no crusade nearby, but in the capital Spada, surrounded by huge walls, the sound of fighting there and the newly rising hand of fire were just too much to show.

"Otherwise, it's not worth coming."

"This is a losing battle now that we are invaded by the capital.Zeno-kun, please don't be rude. "

"Hmm, that depends on who you're dealing with -- look, there's finally a crusade going on."

As he dived through the main gate of Tokyo University and began to walk through the rough city, a group of white gear appeared across the street.

Zenongart was going to take the boulevard the shortest distance to the second barrier gate Lily was waiting for by telepathic communication.

On the other hand, the Crusades are heading towards this side of the street for a moment.

That is, the situation where the two meet from the front.

Enemy forces, Miyu. All troops, halt!

The Pandemonium army was temporarily suspended under Zenongart's command.

On the other hand, the Crusades, who noticed the emergence of more than a thousand troops, stopped moving on the spot to respond.

Between them, look at each other.

What do you say, Tina?

"The number of enemies is about 3,000.It seems to be quite exhausting, but most of it won't interfere with the fight. "

As a former bandit class, Tina can gauge the number and state of enemy forces with a quick glance.

And for Zenongart, that was enough to make a decision.

"I've kept Her Majesty waiting.Hurry up, all troops! "

"You can't do that!? There are three times as many of them!"

"Fuck, I'm kidding."

"I'm keeping Lily waiting, and the Pandemonium army is really going to charge in at full speed."

"Hmm, sure. Was it too many jokes?"

Zenongart sends instructions after such a light mouth.

"Not long ago, the enemy will be looking at us in small numbers and assaulting us.It will be shattered by gunfire. "

The strength of the Pandemonium army is that most soldiers have firearms.

The exception is the Knights of Chaos Cavalry, led by Zenongart.Individuals have the ability to fight without having to rely on guns because they are the best of the best, made up of adventurers of rank 4 or higher.

But now there's no need to rely solely on the best of those adventurers.

Zenongart already knows the power of a weapon called a gun.

How hard it was to bring the Dark Knights, led by Kurono, into the exercise while gathering adventurers of rank 3 or higher.

They are not enemies of our army armed with firearms, such as the Crusades, which have gathered a few crowds.Zenongart was sure of that.

"The Knights of Darkness sorcerer units are in front, infantry units on the left and right.Pandemonium infantry units will also be in the front.After sharpening his enemies with guns and guns, he looks at the plane and storms.It kicks me from the front. "

A plan to maximize gun performance.

Better Speed and Range bullets are knocked unilaterally out of range than bad attack magic, making enemies wear and tear.It is seen as advantageous enough to triple the number of soldiers.

Unless the enemy collapses.

"I'll keep shooting until it collapses.If anyone can sneak through a bullet storm, it's only the enemy's fierce.The more powerful they are, the fewer. "

Kurono also heard about the battle in Alsace village.

Enemy Heavy Knights can use their armor to fire and approach.However, the knight wearing the heavy armor is an elite unit in the Crusade.It's not as easy as tens of millions.

Then we can compete well with the best of us.Rather, if the constant gunfire storm could isolate only the elite enemy forces, it would be an opportunity to destroy them.

"Very well. I think it's the best way to make the most of our firepower and range."

"It's pathetic of them to have to shoot with their spears and bows."

Again, the Crusaders show their readiness to take advantage of the number of infantry assaults against the Pandemonium army, which quickly forms as instructed.

They were screaming loudly about God and the demons, and they were inspiring the war.

"Hmm, what arrogance is it to call yourself holy?But that's good, too. An army from hell.They welcome me with a blowing iron storm----- "

Hey!

And on the gate of the second barrier, Lily the little girl waved her hand.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

With a wavering cheer, they answered Lily's call.

It travels gently along the main street, with a total of 1500 black troops.

The Pandemonium soldiers gathered under Lily's eyes and dressed in plain clothes with an undisturbed movement.

The Knights of Chaos leader Zenongart, who stands at their head, also gets off the horse and kneels.

"Her Majesty Queen Lily, our pandemonium army, there is no vacancy, thank you all for coming."

"Nyah, here we are!"

Puffing her cheeks up, Lily jumped off the gate and landed in front of Fluffy and Zenongart.

"I'm sorry."

"Very well, I'm glad we're all here. Alright, alright!"

Lily smiled innocently and stroked Zenongart's head like a dog.

Zenongart received a compliment from the Queen saying "Thank you" without moving one eyebrow.

"We are ready to fight.I beg your pardon, Your Majesty.

"Wow, um, um, hey...."

As she roared, Lily put her little arm around her, but she lost it and turned her face to Xenongarto and slapped her ear gently.

"--Sparda is over.I will return to the Pandemonium before the castle falls, lest we sacrifice ourselves.But Chrono will fight until he is satisfied, so just follow him. "

It is impossible to defend the capital Spada.As early as possible, Lily decided that there was no reason to keep her alliance disciplined.

I don't risk losing my own soldiers in a losing battle.It also meant that they would not help the Spartans until they tolerated our sacrifice.

It is important to minimize damage and evacuate safely.And above all, Krono's own safety.

Zenongart fully understood Lily's intentions that it would be enough to fight within Kurono's peril.

Should we call Lily's judgment ruthless?

No, it is a natural decision as a monarch who leads a nation.

Chrono, that man is still too kind.The way Zenongart felt when he saw Chrono for the first time, that he was just a father desperate to protect his family, has not changed even now that his memory has been restored.

Sweet, gentle, yet powerful enough to be a hero.A good personality with a great sense of justice and strong power.That's why the king's vessel is missing.

But if standing next to such a sweet man is a pitiful, ruthless fairy girl worthy to rule this hell, it is enough to believe.

"--Yes, as Her Majesty said."

"Yeah, well, let's all do our best!Oops!! "
