Kuro no Maou

Episode 108: Fairy VS Heavenly Horse Knight (2)

The wings of Heavenly Horse (Pegasus) are not something that can just fly through the sky with wings like birds.

If you follow the laws of physics, you can't float a horse's giant in space with only a pair of feathers, not to mention flying at high speeds.

But in the reality of the other world, Pegasus exerts manoeuvrability that can withstand aerial combat with people on board, because there is no power on the planet called deviation magic.

If pegasus flies with ‘magical power', then its wings are the magic for flying, the part that can be described as its output device.

The Heavenly Horse Knight can give this wing more acceleration and flight speed by applying the magic of Speed Boost.

"Speed Enhancement (Speed High Boost)"

Several Tenma knights spearheading Estelle exert intermediate magic of speed enhancement on Pegasus at the same time, rapidly accelerating the moment the effect takes effect, instantly reaching such high speeds that it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize.

Continuing the flight without breaking the line at equal intervals, even during that high-speed journey, is above all proof that they are proficient in the treatment of Pegasus and that they have first-class teamwork as soldiers.

Running through the sky in an undisturbed motion, they are still white meteoroids, against which Lily is like a star emitting dazzling light herself.

"Purple Electric Assault (Line Charge)!

Estelle unleashes martial arts toward Lily, who wraps around the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field).

If just a human being strikes straight as he is, instead of having holes in his torso, he is a masterful martial arts technique, powerful enough to blow his torso whole.

A lightning-wrapped haughty spear is launched with more fierce momentum than on horseback.

Estelle's thunderlight intersects Lily's colored light, the sound and light you can play with the bees, the collision is for a moment.

Taking a blow to Lily and passing with momentum, Estelle tongues over Pegasus, where the effect of speed enhancement begins to slow down.

"You're too hard, damn it!

The blow all over her body only slightly shredded the surface layer of the fairy junction (Oracle Field), and the blade never reached Lily's white soft skin.

Naturally, all the effects of electric shock emitted are also prevented.

Continuous lightning and thunderbolts from the rear of Estelle, followed by the Heavenly Horse Knight striking Lily with the same attack.

Estelle didn't have to look back to see if it was three or four, including herself, that the attack hit her.

She's not the only one who thinks that from the bottom of her heart, where everyone in the Tenma Knight feels that the defense will dodge nearly half the attack on top of the stiff.

Lily's fairy junction (Oracle Field), again captured by sight, saw several mutilated marks, as the Estelle squad finished a series of attacks and swirled in the air, but in seconds of the thing, the damaged area regenerated, forming once again a sphere of complete light with nowhere to be missing.

"Is it also highly regenerative for Omake, Bakemon -"

As if not to allow him to do evil, he sees Lily emit a ray of counter-attacks all in return, and Estelle pulls the reins and exercises evasion.

If you take it alive, you can avoid a bunch of rays that can hold so much heat that it's not a burn, with two or three turns in the air, and skillful handwriting.

Estelle is not the only one being targeted by the rays, all of the squad members she leads are equally targeted by Lily's attacks.

Only Estelle is able to dodge everything, and a knight in line gets a few rounds.

The Heavenly Horse Knight, with instant ability to guard against the Stone's magical armor, will not become incapable of combat after hitting one or two shots, but the damage was definitely accumulated.

(Damn it, damn it! He's a real jerk, he hasn't fed Matomo a single blow yet, but this one's definitely shredded in strength)

I begin to see a rush in Estelle's heart.

Half an hour has already passed since the start of the battle, during which time the two wounded have just left the front, but there are a number of Tenma knights who have built up considerable damage and fatigue within them.

If we kept fighting at this pace, we could have predicted enough that we wouldn't be able to fight one after the other, and the worst casualties would continue.

"- Ahhh!

A flash of light and a scream ripping silk instantly rise at the edge of my sight.

Turning to his face, he rides a Heavenly Horse Knight who looks like he's about to lose his mind with both humans or he's flying somehow at low speeds with flirting.

"Awkward! Somebody support me!!

He decides he is far away and sends an immediate order, but Lily was quicker to target the weakened 'prey’.

In the midst of an overwhelming difference in numbers, Lily can spot weak enemies, or weak enemies, precisely.

Lily's attack, unleashed by a weakened knight who is already impossible to evade or defend, is a light bullet, not a ray.

Light bullets with a speed inferior to rays but with precision tracking performance, if you flew Pegasus at all costs, you might have been able to escape, but that knight, who is reaching its limits with both his strength and strength, is now just a target.

The five light bullets released slip through them as if to bruise the other knights heading for help.

Boom, flash, now you'll never hear a scream, just one person and one head falling to the ground more than this sky.

Lily, who also destroyed one enemy, quickly moves on to the next action without having to worry about it.

The only time Lily was able to attack now was shortly after she had survived the Estelle Squad's assault, and after they finished the attack, the attack magic flew in rain from all sides to seal Lily's movements and chants.

Fran and Matty squads, who are responsible for interfering with Lily's behavior, resume their magical ranged attacks again, in anticipation of which Lily already flies fast to draw irregular orbits that Pegasus cannot emulate and sew up gaps in the attack.

(What to do - if you're prepared to make a sacrifice, now's the only time, it's Jilli Poor any more)

The most troublesome thing is still Lily's overwhelming manoeuvring performance, if Pegasus flies like a bird, Lily can fly irregularly like a bee.

This doesn't make so much difference if it's a simple linear battle, but when dodging, this small-turn athletic performance has a tremendous effect.

If the attack doesn't hit, the damage is 0, and the avoidance of a single piece of paper requires concentration, but so far I don't see any fatigue in Lily's movements.

(I just have to grab it directly and stop the move, damn it, but if I do that, I can't think of any other way to dance with the deputy captain. -)

There are no groundbreaking answers just because glue and reckless thoughts continue to empty.

"Damn, there's a good way to stop him! Cholo, cholo, fly!

Though I yell at you for telepathic comms, none of the responses that come back are fragrant.

"I've been fighting for half an hour, and now I'm telling you that?

"You don't normally think this one drains fast, multi-on-one!

"Well, unfortunately, it's true that even if you fight the right way, this one's bad."

"If you're going to hit anything, it's the only time! You won't have magic this way or till hours!

Striking measures outside the positive approach seems to be a common view, but there are still no groundbreaking proposals.

"... I have no choice, Atashi will stop that fairy bastard from moving"

"A fairy bastard, no matter what you think, you're a woman, and a annoyingly pretty girl"

"You don't care now there, silly Yarrow! People are so determined, there's no water difference!!

"Are you serious, Estelle? You know you can't just touch that line of light."

"There's no other way, and we won't be able to cover the ground forces for long while he's stuck here, but then the operation itself will collapse."

Yes, their mission is not to defeat Lily in the first place.

The original goal is to break down defensive line defenses by attacking enemy lines from above and to successfully attack infantry.

"Look, down there. Then the demons are finally out there, and if you assault them from up here, the guard there will fall easily."

On the other side of the comms, Estelle could have imagined a slight tour of Fran, who would now be positioned deputy captain.

And I can hear Fran responding for a few seconds.

"I'll leave you to it, Estelle. Instead, we'll do everything we can to defend ourselves, so we'll definitely go back alive."

"Of course, who's going to make it?"

"Oh, lying, really, Estelle!

"That's seriously fucked up!

"What, are you worried about me now?

"" It's not like that!

I guess these places are still two sisters, Cammy and Kathy, Estelle.

"Look, if I suppress Yarrow, you two are the ones who give me the todome, it's definitely not a mess."

Even though I hesitate, I get a response for the two sisters.

Each of the Tenma knights prepares himself and turns his gaze to Lily, who flies gently across the great sky.

"Hey, let's go -"

Shortly before Estelle tried to make a move, I saw Lily's condition suddenly change.

Until then, Lily was firing rays and light bullets more than inside the junction of light covering her entire body, but one small sphere of light emerged after another outside the junction.

"Hey, I'm gonna set something up, be careful!

Several spheres of light gradually increase in size, nearly twice the diameter of the light bullets emitted so far.

If Sole is as powerful as it looks, I don't know if he can stand a direct hit, let alone drain his health now.

(Why, you're not the wacko who gave Matomo a chanting gap, and the raven looks like a jerk too)

Below Estelle, that sphere of light was shot out at about the same time as all of the Tenma knights scattered in preparation for Lily's attack.

The sphere of light, shot out in full towards the Tenma Knight scattered on all sides, is clearly slower than any other attack Lily has ever made.

(If it's late, is it awesome - even tracking performance? If it's this late, you'd better shoot the magic and intercept it. -)

Seeing dull attack speeds besides thoughts, the moment those who arrived at the same answer as Estelle tried to move into interception action, the sphere of light can play with dazzling light in the hollow.

"Come on."

Their vision is filled with white light without leakage and their vision is completely closed.

For a moment, I think you got caught in an awesome explosion, but I can't feel any abnormality in my body.

"- Damn, are you just blind!

Realizing who this attack is, Estelle instantly predicts a pursuit by poking this gap.

"Product - Optical Wall (Lux Defan)

Minimal Healing (Lesser Heel) "

Continuously activates Defensive Magic to protect you and Healing Magic to restore your vision.

Only the blue sky with its own expanded shield of light and background will enter the returning vision.

I can't feel any sign of a pursuit.

"No, wait, where's Yarrow?

Even if I look carefully around me, I don't see Lily wrapped up in a line of light about two meters in diameter that was in the air until earlier.

"Has anybody checked him out?

Call on the comms.

Everyone can predict an unintentional attack with a blind spot, when the enemy in front of them has suddenly disappeared.

"No, I lost him, too."

"We've been watching."

"I saw it! I fell towards the ground!!

"Really, Matty?

"The position of my squad is below the enemy, I saw it clearly as I passed nearby!

"Well, be vigilant on the ground, I don't know what he's going to do."

As a result, within a moment, Lily broke out of the siege of the Tenma knight and stepped down to the ground.

The enemies that already surround them have vanished from sight, so the Heavenly Horse Knights line up over them.

- What do you mean, you're not doing anything?

Approximately three minutes, I'm stuck alerting the ground, but as Estelle's dialogue suggests, not a single ray of light will fly out of the nearby woods that Lily supposedly fell and said.

"Estelle, maybe some magical effect time has run out."

That's what Fran, lined up next to Estelle, said directly in his mouth, not on the comms machine.

"... it can't be, but maybe he was layering reinforced magic, and that's why he was protected by the evil gods."

"Yeah, I don't know much about the protection the Demons receive, I can't predict what kind of abilities they have."

"In short, you mean you should think you ran away"

Given this situation, everyone gets to the answer: Nature and the escape of Lily.

"Hey - I think I just ran away. Oh, dude? You're not going after him?

"No, it would be convenient to return to duty, if Yarrow had escaped, to launch an attack on the enemy line as intended."

If, as Matty says, some magic or protective effect has expired, this is a great opportunity to kill Lily.

Estelle naturally thinks she wants to make sure she gets rid of the monster that can cross with the Tenma Knight Squad by herself, but somehow she escaped into the deep woods.

If you are blocked from sight from the sky, the Tenma Knight will not appear, because infantry will be asked to defeat these places in the woods, in the ground, and indoors.

As a result, the pursuit is discontinued to be impossible, and if so, it is desirable to achieve the goal as soon as possible.

"I've been stuck for half an hour now, I'm so freaked out. Ground troops might start retreating, let's hurry!

Copy that.

Communicate orders to everyone over the comms, and the Tenma Knight Squad immediately begins to move.

So when their eyes were directed from the ground where Lily would have fallen to the line of defense of the enemy from which she was about to assault, there was an anomaly in the forest.

Forest trees wither lively deep green leaves and turn into white dead trees.

I quickly understood what the hell that showed, not as good as a magician but a magically savvy Tenma knight.

"Life Absorption (Life Drain)..."

"Life Absorption (Life Drain)" is a forbidden technique where it is one of the magic prohibited in the Republic.

It is a truly simple effect of taking away all the magic, or life force, including up to the minute necessary to sustain life, but its power is immense.

Sometimes when used poorly, it becomes a barren land that won't even grow weeds for the next hundred years, and that's how there are islands on the Ark continent where organisms have disappeared completely.

Even without these environmental influences, an operator who risked taking life away from enemy allies and, more importantly, using 'Life Absorption (Life Drain)' was very often pleasant and madman in taking power away from others and making it ours.

It is therefore forbidden, but it is only natural that this is not the Ark continent that the Pandora continent, the separate heavens and earth ruled by the Demons, and the laws of human society do not prevail.

Even if it is contraindicated to a person, it cannot be subject to any kind of repellence for the Demonic Nation.

"Everybody, stay alert! He's gonna set me up again!!

They had to realize that the threat of that beautiful fairy named Lily, whose nervousness ran again to the Tenma knights, had not yet left.
