Kuro no Maou

Episode 856: Spirit Beast Strategy (3)

"---- 'Black Turtle'"

A cursed blade of terrible force was swung down.

Against them is Mariabel's armed scripture Angelic Ruler. In response to the apostle's proud white magic power, the beautiful slender blade contained sacred power ———— However, it was slightly worse to face the opponent with the blade of the curse harboring the powerful black magic power.

”Guuu!”

I succeeded in catching the Demon King Chrono's Weapon Arte, but instead of repelling it, I was pushed in.

I suddenly lost my left hand and had a handkerchief on my right hand.

It's not very compatible to compete in a sword move. Mariabelle's Specialization Ability (Egist) was a summoning ability, and the main effect of [Angelic Ruler] was to strengthen and assist it.

It is an armed scripture that boasts superior performance as a saber, but no special effects or special enhancements in melee combat.

Therefore, Mariabelle's class is not pure swordsmen, but summoners who can also handle swords.

But as one of the apostles, it is not permissible to make excuses for incompatibility.

Mariabelle's body is already exerting all its strength through anger. A dense aura of white magic power was emanating from my entire body, strengthening my power, speed, and proximity to human limitations.

In the name of the apostle is the power that is not ashamed of him, but the fact that there is only one man pressed against him.

"---- 'One Piece (Thrust)'"

To make matters worse, the man wasn't the only one.

Twist and dodge the incisive martial arts from the blind spot.

The direct strike was avoided, but Sarriel's black dyed armed scripture, the tip of his cross, swept over his flank.

The aura attenuates a lot of power, but even if the apostle loses his power, Sarriel's martial arts, which is the user of an incredible spear, will reach Mariabelle's skin. The torn fabric scattered slightly with fresh blood.

"Kuku"

While frowning at the sharp pain, I moved my legs to keep my distance for a moment.

I won't let you go---- Gravity Barrier (Gravity Field)

The barrier of gravity that captured Seram destroys Mariabel's retreat.

While she was the daughter of Arkwright, she was abhorrent to a knight named Celis who had betrayed the Crucifixion for some reason.

But we can't do anything to attack her. I can't afford to.

The "Gravity Barrier (Gravity Field)" occurs when she turns to the tip of the sword she holds in her hand, wrapping around the sign of the evil dragon. Instead of a circle, the black and purple glow that spreads out in a band spreads out like a wall blocking the escape.

And when it is within its bounds, the apostle himself shall not be crushed to death. Perhaps the refinement will slow the movement somewhat.

However, Chrono and Sarriel, even if they are slightly disturbed in front of them, will only expose a fatal gap.

I guess Celice understood that too. He never approached Maria Bell to launch an attack, and he was still trapped by the "Gravity Barrier" (Gravity Field).

"Damn, oh..."

But the one who needs to be the most vigilant is on the other side of Serris.

A sleepy, golden-eyed witch staring at us with no motivating shards. Fiona, Mariabelle hasn't forgotten the horror of the witch she was called.

Although Fiona was holding a staff, she didn't skip any of the attack magic, just looking at it. However, it is only a superficial appearance.

Her aim is to lock Mariabelle back in Purgatory.

Dimensional Magic (World Dimension) "Purgatory Barrier (Inferno Fall)". Only scorching volcanoes and wilderness can spread. If you are literally trapped in the world of Purgatory itself, the power of the Apostle will be weakened.

In the previous battle, there were three opponents, and we were also able to hit three spirit beasts. Even if I was weakened, I still had enough strength to fight back.

However, this time, rather than the spirit beast, the whole summoning beast could not be turned into its own cover. On top of that, Sarriel was attacked, and the demon king Chrono turned away from the mass one-on-one.

I'm still being held back, even if I'm doing all I can. If we were to be weakened, we would be crushed in no time.

In other words, the moment you're thrown into Purgatory, the battle is decided.

”Ah, I'm being pushed... I'm being pushed...”

Standing in front of me was the most grudging demon king.

However, my beloved Sarriel was the one who kept aiming at my back.

A witch aimed at Celis, who crushes the path of retreat, and a dimensional magic that decides to fight with a single blow.

I can't see the winning muscles. The difference in the number of pairs of four can't be overturned no matter how much you scratch it.

The moment you aim at one of them, you will definitely expose it to the other three. After all, I can't even open a path to life after fighting like this.

Mariabelle is supplied with infinite magic power, and she can continue to fight as long as her spiritual power is present, but although the opponent is not infinite, she doesn't use much energy to fight.

Even if we keep fighting until dawn, when the sun has just set, we will never let go of our attack. Rather, I couldn't imagine myself holding it overnight after being exposed to this onslaught.

"Shit, I don't want to stay like this."

All the summoned spirit beasts were filled with demon king's minions.

Engard is like the top Adventurer's Party. Lambdain joined the Dragon Knight Squad.

A pack of wolves, a bullheaded demon, a great spirit, and an angelic knight. All of them had enough combat prowess, but the opposing Demon King's army was also elite. I felt a tremendous desire not to let even one of my Summon Monsters pass under the Demon King.

The momentum was such that I didn't know which one was the monster.

"Don't look anywhere else, I'm your opponent."

For a moment, I turned my gaze towards the spirit beasts and became avenged.

I noticed that the Demon King who had raised the curse was approaching.

Guard with a saber--

"---- Eat it."

"Gaaaa!?"

I picked up Otsuka's swing with the sword of the [Angelic Ruler] in time. Positions that cannot be said to be sufficient. I was prepared to lose my momentum, but the blow was light, contrary to my expectations.

I felt uncomfortable with the strange lightness of it, and before that, the blow of my destiny had flown.

"" "Eat bad." ""

It's a big tooth blade. What kind of monster fangs did you sharpen? Sturdy and tough saw blade-like blade.

At some point, the big sword of the fang that had been pulled out was held in her left hand and waved across her side.

Avoids most reflections. Avoid fatal injuries such as splitting the torso and hips. With that, it was clearly felt that the abdomen covered with thin abdominal muscles had been shallowly torn.

"Guu, what the hell, my aura was torn..."

It must be an intense blow. However, it was strange that the aura could easily reach the body with a flash of horizontal slash that was not a martial arts skill.

The silver aura that was torn apart was immediately filled with overflowing white magic, but when I noticed the part that could not be restored, I finally understood the cause.

[Elixir Slime] Fuck!

The [Elixir Slime], which covered the scar on the lost left arm and was rapidly healing, collapsed and fell apart.

It must have been a flash of fire from the Fang's Great Sword.

However, because it is a slime, if the core is safe, it will not die so easily. The core of the slime that was unfolding from the left shoulder is brought to the back of the shoulder so that the enemy's attack is difficult to hit.

In other words, even if the Great Sword of the Fang were hit, it would only cover the end of the left arm, and it would have no effect if it was only slightly torn.

However, in reality, just as the slime lost all its power, the jelly-like body was beginning to collapse into a muddy liquid. Rather than being able to heal at the earliest, his vitality was even lost.

"Are you absorbing magic power..."

Looking at the demon king with his big fangs and two swinging swords, he murmured his answer in a trembling voice.

The situation is getting worse. Mariabelle is a threat to her aura of defense with her fangs sword, which seems to boast a tremendous drain ability.

I felt like I was being pushed by just one Otsuka. Can you beat the double blows of that Great Sword Dual Sword Strike?

Aimed at Saliel's back, obstructed by Celis, and wary of the Witch's Purgatory.

Impossible.

As it is, within a few moments, the limit is bound to come.

In that case, we'll have to surpass the limit----- [Spirit Beast Summoning (Superior Samon)]!

No matter how much you're good at summoning, your brain will almost burn out with the operation, but you don't have time to hesitate. If I took out the Demon Lord and his men at the same time, I would never be able to win with ease.

This trial cannot be overcome unless it is done without going beyond the limits, until it reaches further heights as an apostle.

"---- 'Black Thunder Breakthrough (Voltecker)'"

From the left side, Sarriel charged at me with a violent black thunderstorm. This is the perfect time to jump back and aim at the moment of landing.

The saber is held in the right hand, and it is difficult to prevent Sarriel, who pushes in from a slightly rearward position on the left side, with a blade.

Therefore, Mariabelle turned her left arm, which had been lost from both arms.

"Full Metal Slime"

A slime with a fluid metal body, like mercury, is summoned on the spot and interrupted in front of the tip that Sariel unleashes.

The Full Metal Slime instantly spreads out its flesh and becomes a shield to protect its master.

With a thickness of about 50 centimeters, I barely picked up the spear. However, the tip penetrated slightly.

From the piercing tip, a black flashing lightning beam was emitted to Maria Bell.

"[Black and White Snake (Climb Eater)]!!"

I continued to summon the great serpent with white scales.

The two cats, who were called to the back, tangled in their left arm like a spiral and opened their bright red mouths.

With that, the black lightning strike that burned Mariabelle disappeared.

Dammit, that snake specializes in black magic drains. Be careful.

Yes, Master.

In Chrono's voice, Saliel pulled his spear from the slime and quickly retreated.

I could see the effect at a glance. No, it's like you already know. But even if the seeds are cracked, they're still useful in this situation.

Gregorius, who heard that Mariabelle was still in Avalon and was accumulating the power of the Summon Beast, picked it up from the "White Hidden" and gave it to the "Black and White Snake (Climb Eater)".

He was proud of his evil demonic power, that is, his extremely powerful drain ability against black magic, and he was eager to say that if he relied on it, it would have a special effect that could be completely sealed.

It was true that it worked, but I didn't feel much like thanking the man with the smelly fox face.

Above all, it is up to you to turn the tide from here.

“I will judge, and I will not forgive the evil that is in my sight.” Those eyes see through the truth. Scratch, 'Judgment Gazer' "

Summon a new spirit beast.

Like a slime or a snake, it was not just a summoning beast, but a bigger load was applied to the body and the head.

Mariabelle's nose was bleeding, and her consciousness was drifting away for a moment, but she succeeded in summoning her.

The spirit beast "Judgment Gazer" has a large eyeball with rainbow-colored eyes and a creepy figure with white tree roots entangled.

The white root grew out of Maria Bell's left shoulder, and drifted like a balloon with eyeballs about 50 centimeters in diameter connected.

"What the hell is this guy? ———— Whoa!"

When the rainbow light is directed at Chrono, an incandescent ray is emitted from it.

The Chrono quickly evaded while blowing the red magic phosphorus from the terrible armor helmet. The light rays that passed through were shallowly melted by making the cobblestones red-hot.

"Don't let me near you, get rid of it!!"

In response to Mariabel's cries, the [Judgment Gazer] radiates even more light as it glints.

Chrono and Saliel, as well as Celis and Fiona, who were in the rearguard, also evaded or defended against the rays that were emitted in all directions.

I don't think I can defeat these four with this alone. "Judgment Gazer" is a fast and precise ranged attack with high firepower.

The Special Beast that decides the battle will be summoned from now on.

"Rupture, heaven, cracking the earth. The clear feathers make all things ----uuuu!"

In the middle of the chanting, I vomited blood.

The nosebleed is not enough anymore. I noticed that my vision was dyed red as I spat out a bloody clot that came from the back of my stomach.

Apparently, it was bleeding out.

Your body, your head and your head are screaming. I instinctively understood that the exercise of more spirit beasts was an obvious limitation that I could not bear.

But I will never back down. Don't back out. I am now facing a generation of great battles that I will never lose.

Defeat the Evil Demon King. Rescue my beloved Sarriel.

It is this twelfth apostle, Mariabelle Yugnosis, who will make it.

"---- A blade that cuts everything!" With the sword that cuts off the demon in my hand, ["Spirit Slashing Wings - Ubahabakiri"]!! "

The silver magic aura swirling around her body was divided into four parts.

On the front, back, left, and right, the sparkling white magic power swirling like a small tornado formed a thin feather.

The sole is like a dragonfly, with elongated wings. But his wings are not for flying, but for slicing.

The sharp shaped blade of the sword itself is only thin and white, and it is clean and transparent. It's thinner and sharper than any sword.

”Hah... hah... this is it...”

Now you're ready to go.

"Judgment Gazer", which emits an accurate and unparalleled ray of light and magic, and "Spirit Slashing Wings - Ubahabakiri", a four-winged sword that easily cuts through all kinds of objects.

Naturally, it was a spirit beast that was difficult to use either way. However, its power is immense.

You can win. You have the strength to defeat this desperate underdevelopment. I exceeded the limit of these two simultaneous summonings, which I thought was impossible.

”Now I'm going to kill you... my spirit beast is going to defeat the Demon King...”

When I list the [Angelic Ruler] on my right hand, the [Spirit Slashing Wings Ubahabakiri] will dance in conjunction with it.

With the ultimate blade that Mariabelle was proud of, the Demon King opened his mouth without fear or surprise, just with a cold look.

"Now, Fiona."

"---- 'Purgatory Barrier (Inferno Fall)'"

In an instant, all of my sight was covered by Guren.

It blows hot as if it burns and scorches the skin. However, the body froze with chill, and the chill ran through.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changes.

It was purgatory as far as the eye could see.

It looks like that's your limit.

No, I showed my strength beyond my limits. To defeat you, to save Sariel, the righteous heart has done it.

I wanted to scream like that, but it never came out with words in my throat.

That's a lot of summoning magic, isn't it? But it was full of gaps. "

Nothing, just a little too defenseless. That was all I was talking about.

To defeat Chrono, to defeat a desperate disadvantage, I used my power. Even though your brain is about to burn out, and your body is dripping with blood.

So I summoned two spirit beasts who were trump cards beyond their limits.

However, I forgot that I was fundamentally driven to concentrate on the summoning. When Mariabelle was thrown into Fiona's purgatory, she would lose her chance to win no matter how many spirit beasts she had.

"Ah, ahhh... my spirit beast..."

The blessing of the white gods is obstructed by the red and burning purgatory sky.

Therefore, the two spirit beasts "Judgment Gazer" and "Spirit Slaying Wings", which were forcefully revealed by the white magic power unleashed inexhaustible, were rapidly collapsing their appearance without enough magic power for existence.

Mariabelle exceeded her limit.

But what will happen if you can contain that power beyond that?

Things that were forced to appear over and over again are set to collapse instantly.

"No, wait, don't disappear!" Don't disappear!! "

No matter how much power you wield, you can't hold back two spirit beasts.

White magic power with obviously limited output. That's not all. The body is heavy. The immense physical abilities that are commonly given as apostles are also dull at the bottom of this purgatory.

It was a futile scratch. I can't reach my limit anymore.

At last, it turned into a white urn, and the last piece of [Spirit Slashing Wings Usbahavakiri] disappeared mercilessly.
