Kuro no Maou

In the woods, a temporary silence returned.

"Attack stopped."

"... Sounds like it"

Kourus responds to the words of a sorcerer who refrains beside himself.

Divided into the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden) for discovery and control of the Fountain of Light, Corus-led search forces entered the battle with the Fairies, as expected.

Until earlier, we shot each other with attack magic, and the forest was trembling with flashes and roars of explosions.

But what the hell happened, suddenly the fairies turned back to the back of the woods at first sight.

Fairies who flee upright with their backs turned, but their speed of flight is not something they can run and catch up with, especially in the deep woods with poor scaffolding.

"Is it a trap?

"It's hard to imagine the fairies setting a trap, simply, pulling the front and rebuilding their power"

Colus himself has no experience fighting fairies, but has some knowledge.

Compare the knowledge on your head with the situation on the spot and infer their behavior.

"The more we go in the back, the more magic that fills this perimeter empowers the fairy clan, the more reasonable it will be to think that they are ambushing us at the bottom.

It's hard to imagine going into a trap or ambush, but keep moving forward, but don't let the perimeter go awry. "

"Copy that!"

Corus' orders are passed on to the soldiers unfolding left and right.

Many magicians and a handful of infantry soldiers here are among the best of the Ils Village control units led by Kilvan.

Even in the woods with poor vision and scaffolding, they line up and move in uninterrupted motion, under the direction of Corus.

Its strength can be seen both in the battle with the fairies, which lasted until earlier, and in the fact that it survived the battle only by delivering minor injuries.

Most importantly, it is anticipated that the fairies who await them will rise to the resistance of the final death, and the attack magic will pour down with rain even more intensely than before, and the boulders will also suffer a blow that is not necessarily the death of one or two.

But no one put those fears on the table, and they just quietly proceeded, as ordered, to the center of the Fountain of Light slowly as they guarded their surroundings.

Along the way, several times the light blinks in the back, an explosion is heard, and tension drifts over Russia.

But in the end, there was no attack from anywhere against them.

While suspicious, they finally made it through the woods and to the Fountain of Light.

"Oh, this is the Fountain of Light!

"Oh, that doesn't sound wrong"

Everyone in the soldiers breathed in the mysterious sight that spread in front of them.

The fountain is circular, small but clear enough to see the bottom of the water clearly.

And there are no wonders and trees around the fountain, only colorful flowers bloom.

Correctly, it was a view worthy of the fairies' dwellings, as appeared in fairy tale books.

But if you think that everything that fills that fountain is holy water rather than such a fantastic view, then the Cross seems to be overflowing with gold itself.

There is immeasurable value here in a single soldier or a single magician.

"... that's odd"

More than the emotion of sanctuary discovery, Corus felt great discomfort.

Weird, when I whine, the mage next door also perceives what's wrong.

"There's no attack."

No way, you're surrounded by unknowns? I suspect, but I can't feel any signs from around me.

Where the hell are those fairies going to say they disappeared?

"What shall we do?

"Well, check the perimeter..."

At that moment when Kourus said so, the center of the fountain suddenly glowed red.

Immediately take a critical stance on the sudden change and pay full attention to the fountain.

The red light apparently gradually rose from the bottom of the fountain towards the surface of the water.

I remember the feeling that the amount of magic I felt in my skin was increasing every second, that was enough to be felt so clearly even by Corus, who was not a magician, and I could see that something with enormous magic was about to come out of the water.

Its‘ something ’finally shows up as it ripples the surface of the water and emits a dazzling glow.

At that moment, the soldiers of the Crusades forgot everything and were merely blinded by the person who appeared before them.

"" Beautiful... "

Someone, no, everyone grumbled like that.

Yes, the person who emerged from the fountain was beautiful.

A glowing platinum blonde with emerald green eyes.

The pair of feathers that grow above its back are brilliant in rainbow color, and the light instantly spreads with a dense magic wave.

Wrapping the soft skin of a pale, glowing white maiden is a dark costume as deep as night darkness, the contrast between the white of light and the black of darkness, adding to its presence, its beauty.

And there was a treasure ball on her chest that emitted a brilliant brilliance of crimson.

"Goddess."

There was no more worthy word to show this girl.

The presence of a goddess emerging from a fountain often appears in the cultural area of man in the Arc continent.

A traveler lost in the way, a brave man seeking a holy sword to destroy a demon, a young brother and sister abandoned by their parents, meet her in their legends and fairy tales.

And the goddess who appears in any story always has something in common that is so beautiful that it doesn't seem like it belongs in this world.

At this moment it was half inevitable to apply and associate the presence of a beautiful girl who is out of the fountain with a story they know well.

"You crusaders..."

A girl opens her mouth toward a crusader soldier who beckons.

clear, beautiful voices that stain deep into your heart. But

"Dirty, greedy people, they seem just right for a ‘try and shoot'."

Unlike the goddess of creation, there is no mercy for men to help them.

"Leave no shards, die."

I just brutally pronounced them all dead.

"All hands in defensive position!!

Corus shouts his sword up and screams.

Recognize the overwhelming magic and killing spirit emanating from the girl and enter into combat action.

"hehe, slow"

As soon as the girl flips the hem of her pitch-black one-piece dress in graceful motion, two white lights glow.

Doh.

I wondered if the flash had passed the left or right of Corus, and a blood splash broke behind it.

"Become -"

Looking back, there were two magicians who listened to Colus' orders and immediately tried to exercise defensive magic, whose heads had disappeared beautifully and had dyed their white coats bright red.

Not surprisingly, a third, fourth, and one after the other, a light bullet pierces the head of the sorcerer, crushing it without a trace, creating a corpse without a neck.

If you noticed, roughly a third of the total number of magicians were corpsed.

He has never seen a warring, almost unresponsive, assault magic that has the power to kill him instantly, in a row without any chanting or preliminary motion.

Corus, young as he is, who already has enough training and practical experience to call him skilled, but the attack exercised by this girl was such a departure from his common sense about the battle.

His common sense is that magic is activated after some chanting, rituals, etc., and things like precisely one or two shots, such as instant activation of a power that only causes a human to die instantly.

If all sorcerers are capable of serial instant death magic, there is no room for such people as swordsmen and warriors in the first place.

"It's brittle. I knew it was human."

As the girl murmurs so, a gradual defensive magic activates, overshadowing the Corvus squad where the multiple unfolded connections have survived.

The White Mages have applied a full range of Sacred Heart Defensive Walls (Lux Woldefan), yet another Mage has also activated the Water Flow Defensive Wall (Aqua Woldefan) and the Sand Debris Defensive Wall (Terra Woldefan), forming a triple protection (Tri-Shield) that combines the three magic.

By casting Defense Magic with multiple attributes, it is possible to cover attacks with weaker attributes and increase the overall Defense, and simply triple the Defense by overlapping.

In addition, almost simultaneously with the activation of Tri-Shield, the infantry, starting with Corus, has undergone an enhanced Defense (Protec Boost), which also increases the physical defenses of individuals.

Reinforcement of the Defense should take precedence over the opponent exercising Immediate Death Magic.

Soon enough, and normally, the Corvus defensive formation was completed, but the opponent buried a third of the magician with only a few gaps.

Taking into account also the immediate retreat, Corus considers his next hand.

(With all this defense, you won't get hit with a single blow, the question is if you can get enough offense to defeat that girl, no, the monster who looked like a girl... it hurts too much to lose a sorcerer)

Realize all that aggression, naturally it is natural to expect that defensive magic will also be used.

And to be able to destroy that robust defensive magic, it still takes a magical attack, not a sword.

Therefore, the first magician who has lost it here emerges as a problem of lack of aggression.

"That, you're willing to maybe take me down?

But Corus still doesn't realize it's a completely uneven idea.

Or maybe he just didn't want to notice.

"I can't believe you don't understand the difference in power. There are less than animals."

A girl begins chanting streamlessly, as if to muddle a poem.

"Product"

It's the opponent who activated instant death attack magic with no chanting, I don't want to imagine as the attacking side how destructive that would be if you performed the chant honestly.

"Stop chanting!

A sorcerer and a soldier with a stone bow launch a simultaneous attack on a shouting Colus attack order.

"- Hehe, so, it's too late."

The girl, whose magic had already finished chanting before it arrived, decided not to immediately move on to the attack, but to clean up the attack that would kill her first.

Even so, only fairy junctions (Oracle Shields) that have already deployed around your body can prevent all attacks.

She merely watches the flames and arrows of light extinguish in front of her.

Once the attack was over, the girl opened her mouth to bring the curtain down to a battle that was not even this battle.

"Bye, humans. You're going to die regretting what you did to us."

The girl waves up her right hand, at the same time, a magic formation painted with light appears directly above which the soldiers consolidate in the multiplicity of defensive magic.

None of the magicians downstairs have ever seen it, and it rises while the complex, giant shapes based on circles are seen.

They don't know that Sole is a powerful blow comparable to Dragon Breath, which leads to playing Saliel and making him do his defense for real.

"- Star Crash (Meteo Strike)"

The girl's right hand is waved down.

From the magic formation, a huge lump of seven colors is unleashed, falling to crush the humans beneath their eyes.

Consolidated defensive magic, no way to break it - yes, everyone thought, but there is not one person who can hold on to that idea even now.

"Oh, God..."

They could only pray, never save their lives, towards God.

And man's greed, his prayers, his screams, his suffering, all seven colors of light swallowed up -

Doddon!!

Disappear, no trace, everything.

"Yeah, good."

A girl with a full smile, no regrets or guilt whatsoever about killing people there.

He was a real fairy, loving smile.

"Well, I'm worried about Chrono, and when I go help him, the village of Iles seems to be too late, but let's see."

She then left a trail of destruction (crater) on the spot, spanning fifty metres in diameter, flying away from the Fountain of Light towards the man she loved.
