Kuro no Maou

Episode 13: Goblin Exorcism (1)

- Over there.

Pointing himself in the shade of a tree, Lily points to the tip of a cliff that stands right on the rock.

"Oh, you do have goblins"

There is one large cave with an entrance of three metres and three smaller caves with an entrance of less than one metre can be seen around it.

None of the caves seem that big, but they're a meter long enough to live there for the goblins.

The goblins that live here seem to be the same race as the goblins I was made to deal with in a manoeuvre experiment one day.

At that time he was equipped with a sharp double-edged sword in unified steel armor, but here he is wrapped in sliced and thinly dirty fur, with a spear full of handcrafted feel.

The level of equipment was incomparably low, but the sense of life that I would use every day was overflowing.

"I'll make sure, but you can kill them all, right?

I no longer have any particular resistance to killing creatures, including humans, but I still don't want to show Lily the tragic scene of bleeding and falling.

I guess Lily has no more resistance to killing than she has to exorcise monsters for a long time, just in case I ask.

If you're scared of killing goblins flashly, it's sad.

"Yeah, there are thirty goblins if you see one, so you have to get rid of it properly!

"Oh, yeah, I get it."

I feel a tremendous gap around dealing with cockroaches and flat out saying 'extermination' or something.

Is this the kind of pure cruelty characteristic of a child?

Well, I don't want to lose any hindsight of it, and I don't want to miss a single one, as I was told.

"All right, then I'm gonna go for a little while"

I walked straight into the cave without diving into it.

"- Loading"

Before the fight, the technique of making bullets in advance so that they could be used in a series was knitted in immobile cargo on the way to the Pandora continent, for how many minutes I was free.

Not so many bullets can be stocked, but the effect of being able to concentrate nearly triple the firepower in the first turn is now sufficient.

"Blackened"

On his way here, he blackens four branches of a tree about a meter that he picked up in the woods.

Until then, I held it aside and held it, but if it blackened, I could manipulate it at will, so I make him refrain behind his back from four turning it into black bars.

"-Okay."

When you climb and stand on a larger rock, you can see well in front of the cave, here you won't overlook the escaping goblins.

From what I've seen, there's a goblin around twenty, and the one armed within it is thirteen, probably still refraining from doing so in the cave.

That's how I recognize the goblins, but also from the goblins flocking around the cave, who see me well and capture me instantly.

He doesn't seem to welcome the suddenly manifested human being, adding frogs and monkeys to his big nose to distort his crushed ugly face and turn his hostile gaze at me at the same time.

"Gyoaaaaa!"

I don't know if it's a signal to my buddies or just a squeal, but a goblin moves into a combat posture with an odd voice.

"Yes, call me - said Lily!? Why are you here!?

The moment I tried to unleash my magic, I noticed a white shadow gleaming at my feet.

I was wondering exactly what you were waiting for in the woods, why are you coming to such a frontline!?

But you can't just walk away with Lily now.

Even Lily has a proven track record of exorcising monsters, maybe you don't have to worry about me.

Yeah, but I'm so worried!

"Lily, stay away from me, it's dangerous!

"Yeah."

You know what I mean or not, Lily looks up at me with a kyotonic look.

I'm still worried, but I don't have time to worry, let's just say it's okay here.

"All right, let's go!

Reinvigorate your temper and face both goblins.

Of the thirteen armed bodies, two have arrows on their bows, plus a dozen goblins jump out of the cave leading four with bows in their hands.

All the rest, pull out your spears and swords and set up an assault here.

"Rifle."

First, he starts using flying tools, and a total of six bow-held goblins are pierced through his brain by pseudo-full-metal jacket bullets before releasing a single arrow.

It was pre-loaded so it could be stopped by simultaneous firing rather than continuous firing.

"Shotgun."

The next aim is to come straight at us.

In just one shot, I defeated six bow holders, so the assault combination has not reached the distance that the blade can reach me yet.

That's roughly ten meters, just the right distance to clean it up with a shotgun.

The loaded four rounds are simultaneously fired into a barrage that spreads instantly into the space ahead, wearing through the body of a goblin without a shield and with no clearance to evade.

The goblins running in the front row were completely deadly, seemingly so unlikely that they could tell which of the bullets they had landed had been fatally wounded, and some of them had a thousand thin limbs cut off.

"Gee, Geer!

Goblin, whose companion's body became a shield and not a fatal wound, continues his march with his weapon up while raising his voice of anger and anguish.

Behind them, there is also a still intact follow-on population, and furthermore, reinforcements are emerging from the cave again.

Either you're not going to pull it off to this extent, or you don't have the intelligence to identify the trigger in the first place. Either way, if you're coming at me, it's just easier because it saves me time chasing it.

"Gatling"

Stick your right arm forward and start shooting at Gatling with the effect of a rifle sweep.

Gatling succeeds in automating the process of firing a bullet, I can even focus my consciousness on the process of making a bullet, thus allowing for more rapid fire than a rifle.

Instead, I can only fly straight in that direction with my right arm as a barrel of guns, so I can only put a rough aim on it, but it's effective against opponents who form a herd and storm directly from the front.

The other side will take the liberty of entering this range.

Thus, a goblin that has no way of preventing or avoiding a bullet equivalent to a rifle that is shot out with a gatring, only turns it into ground beef in the order in which it approaches.

At the earliest, it's a plot close to a unilateral massacre, not a fight.

Nonetheless, the goblins only storm the flying kill zone of black bullets from the front.

My fallen companion's body gets in the way and the rush speed is dull, but the bullet penetrates the body lightly, so the distance between me and Goblin is on the other hand, and it was about time I thought about moving forward and hunting this one down into the cave.

"Wow!!

A loud roar hits one side at a time.

While shooting at Gatling, I turn my eyes to those who raised their voices.

Even then, it must be a whole bunch of reinforcements that emerged from the cave, and there's no difference between that outfit and the other goblins.

However, a large bamboo in the hands of the Soviet emitted an unusual appearance at all times.

The weapons Goblin here will have in his hands, bows and spears will be handmade, and as a weapon they are really crude.

Occasionally some have swords, but you can tell they've picked them up somewhere, they're all blade spilled or rusted, and not cared for by Locke.

But when only the daikon is sharp and sharp, it shines brightly enough for the amateur to see.

Not only is it a polished glow that releases, but it's close to my black magic, and even the black aura is blowing out in sight.

Goblins with the arrow tip, Daiju, who thought it seemed kind of bad, suddenly attacked his neighbor with a murder weapon in his hand.

Raise a short disconnect, my buddy Goblin's neck falls off, like cutting butter with a heated knife, really light.

"Dude, he's a real jerk."

Have both goblins noticed the strangeness of the Daiju? Stop the advance and pay attention to the Soviets.

Even in the meantime, the nearby goblins are worried about whether they will be decapitated or wholesaled into three pieces, one after the other.

"Chrono, that's a curse weapon! It's dangerous!"

"The curse weapon?

Speaking of which, during a manoeuvre experiment, there was a strange weapon that could increase your arm strength or use magic that you should not have mastered just by holding it in your hand.

Just as I blacken a weapon, I guess I could magically have a variety of effects on the weapon.

but I guess in some cases the magic imparted is not always just to the advantage of the user.

I guess that's what they call a 'curse weapon'.

It's easy to see the effect of a curse when you start attacking without distinction between enemy allies.

And, slightly swallowed, he shoots a rifle at Goblin, who still wields a great deal of ferocity.

stop shooting Gatling, so the aim is accurate, the bullet that was supposed to pierce the head brilliantly,

"Gww!

It is played by a lightly swung daimyo.

"Seriously, what a reaction!?

Turning to his white eyes, even though his ugly face is even more disastrously distorted, Daiji Goblin turns to me with his rifle unleashed.

Oh, this, you've been totally targeted.

Besides, my breath is definitely getting rougher than it was when I appeared, I can do all I want with my coveted snot, and my white eyes are running some blood.

Goblins mad by the curse are definitely heating up that anger because one of my shots has stuck that far.

Don't make him a little silly and troublesome...
