Kuro no Maou

Episode 254: The End of Bandits

Lily, who received a triumph report from Chrono, took a ho breath with her biggest anxiety element eliminated.

"Well, we have to do what we do."

We no longer needed reinforcements to Chrono, which was our top priority, so Lily stepped into the hall, the bandit's gym, to do what she had to do next.

The aim was a basement, a large mansion, but the location was already ‘heard’, so I discovered the downstairs without getting lost.

The lights on the stairs leading to the basement are out, and yet the black darkness spreads like a hole leading to Naruto.

However, since there is a dazzling light from the pair of wings that transforms into a true girl, Lily's surroundings are brilliantly illuminated and there is no difficulty in moving forward.

As I went down the stairs without danger, I immediately saw a thick wooden door.

Twisting the knob with your hands is naturally locked, but if it's just locked, it's not enough to refuse Lily's entry.

Lily wrapped her delicate glassy palms and the light converged there,

Bong.

and made a noise, and at the next moment the door knob vanished.

If Fiona had unlocked it, she would have blown every door, opening the door with that imagination.

"... sucks, smells worse than a mordura's nest"

Lily frowns thinly at the smell drifting from the back of the room.

The beast-stained, fresh-smelling leftover incense that seems to be staining the walls makes you instantly imagine what was being done in this place.

But I can't help but stop here, Lily just gave a slightly offensive look and just kept walking.

Unlike the stairs ahead, the basement is lit slightly.

That's not a light brought about by fire, like a lamp, it seems to be a magical light using magic.

Lily thought it would be similar to the street lights installed in Sparda.

And the dimly but bent-lit basement gives a glimpse of what a room this is.

It was the first time Lily had seen it directly, an iron lattice fitted to block a corner of the room on a wall with cold stone tiles, but it was immediately understandable that this was the chamber.

This dungeon is quite large and, for that matter, the barn is likely to accommodate a significant number of people.

Beyond the iron lattice, however, is barely deserted, and now its breadth is not being effectively utilized.

Yes, just by ‘almost’ deserted, I mean, some of them remain captured in this cold dungeon.

"Ugh..."

Beyond the iron lattice, white nudity swept.

Only one moved, and the others lay on a mat drawn directly to the cobblestone, sliced like thin dirty sheets, leaning against each other.

Think it's midnight now, if the men don't even come in and out, it's natural time for them to go to bed.

"So, who..."

It was the girl with the pale green hair who woke herself up from Matt.

My torso is exposed, but I don't even try to hide my chest because I find that the person standing in front of me is a woman, or because the act is utterly futile on this occasion?

The girl stared at Lily from across the iron lattice with her vain eyes.

Conversely, the girl looked good from Lily as well.

There are signs of beatings on her body, especially the swelling of her left cheek, which is painful.

Seeing clear traces of assault, many would say "terrible" with their mouths together, but Lily's thoughts were "in a better condition than she thought".

Apparently, the bandits are a genuine hobby to be content with just holding a woman, and no one was particularly curious.

Because Lily can't undo the limbs that were amputated on the boulder either.

In the meantime, Lily, who confirmed that 'I can manage on my own’, did not respond to anything of the girl and plugged the key taken out of her nostalgia into the iron lattice door.

Gatili, and the sound of unlocking sounded slightly louder, followed by an unpleasant sound of a rusty hinge rubbing into his ear.

"Ah... help me, will you...?

The girl gives me a trembling but faintly mixed voice.

Lily stepped into the barn and opened her mouth, smiling gently as she went straight to the girl.

"Hey, lady, do you have a decent meal?

To the question, the girl solidifies with a flashy look somewhere.

It is also impossible, given this situation, a question that is very unlikely to emerge.

But for Lily, that's the least I can do.

"Answer me"

"Uh... yes..."

Lily nods satisfactorily at the words of affirmation.

Most importantly, I had an approximate idea even if I didn't hear the answer.

There are only traces of assault on the girl's body, but I don't see how she did it in particular.

No damage has accumulated to the body, there are only fatigue and mental wounds.

Given their usage, it must be difficult for them to maintain a minimum level of health, even if it's only bone and skin against women.

"Oh, um... that's..."

"Hmm, here?

Having heard the answer to the question, Lily is moving on to the next action.

It was to create a single needle shining in your right hand with your own unique magic (extra).

It's a little long to call it a needle, thick, which seems like something you might call a thin pile.

And the girl who saw it turns around and visits with a frightening voice, wondering what that needle is and no, what to do with that needle.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Lily shakes up the polar long needle in her hand with an elegant smile on her face.

The girl's eyes were wide open to fear, and tears that were already supposed to wither and last were about to overflow.

- I'll forget soon enough.

And the needle to be swung down profoundly poked straight into the girl's brain.

Lily breaks through her skull and feels the tip of the needle firmly reach her brain, where she takes her hand off the needle.

The girl seemed to lose her mind with it and sank herself into a thin mat with her white eyes peeled off.

"Well, before the other daughters wake up, we just have to do it"

Once again Lily creates a needle of light in her right hand, she pierces the women's heads from end to end in turn.

All seven women, including the first girl, became painful with needles stabbed over their heads less than five minutes later.

But Lily is pale in the wind that she is doing what she is meant to be, and she can't see any emotions such as grief or guilt in her expression, as if she were even cooking.

After finishing stabbing everyone with a needle, Lily took away a slice that could be called a futon wrapped around a woman's body.

What I saw in my eyes was nudity for seven women, a mole borne by kicking them all in the same way as a girl, or earthworm swelling as if they had beaten them with a whip for horses.

But what Lily focuses on is not such a vivid scar, but their abdomen.

I still don't see any special changes in that waist - I mean, I can't tell from just looking at it.

Most importantly, confirmation doesn't mean so much to Lily, because her actions have already been finalized.

"If you're in this state of health, you can stand it."

Lily drew a magic formation of light in the hollow, while removing a single scroll (scroll) from inside.

It is the last remaining bottle in the Alsace defense.

And the magic that's engraved there,

"Deal - Life Absorption (Lifedrain)"

Forced to suck up all life force, that's what activated the Devil's Prohibition, "Life Absorption (Lifedrain)," collecting it without missing it from the ‘chick in the egg’ still before it was born.

When I came to the main entrance to the mansion, which is where I meet, I waited there for

"Good day, Mr. Chrono"

Fiona was alone.

"Oh, you too, what about Lily?

"Mr. Lily is the nurse of the women caught."

"Well, I was able to help you safely."

Now you can finally rest assured that it was worth coming all the way here to crusade the bandits.

"Shouldn't we go help Lily soon?

"Mr. Chrono shouldn't go"

I'll regret it after I tell you, I've been scattered by a man, and I've just decided to scare the shit out of you even if I go.

"Sman, right"

At times like this, I'm helpless.

It's not like you can use healing magic, and you can count on Lily.

"Yes, what happened to the bandits?

I should now look for something I can do on my own rather than thinking negative.

If the bandits say they escaped to scatter, I can do enough to chase them.

"The bandits... killed them all"

"Well, shouldn't one or so have been caught alive as a witness?

"I was so severely resisted that I had to stop"

Well, there's no choice in that.

If caught in banditry, the death penalty is certain, and there is no future where you surrendered heavily, so it would be natural to resist with madness in death.

"Mr. Krono would like you to keep telling the village of Ischia about the bandit crusade and the pick-up of the woman."

"Oh, yeah."

We don't have the means to get more than one woman to the village of Ischia without a carriage, and it would be harsh to walk.

Conveniently, there's a big, beautiful mansion here, you'll be able to spend the night comfortably.

It's best for Lily and Fiona to take care of the woman here and I head to the rescue report as soon as possible.

"But his people, or reinforcements, wouldn't come this way?

"It's okay, I heard they're still all around here, it looks like the boss, the slave trader, is in Sparda, and they won't be turning their hands around right now"

Then you'll be fine, because if the bandits are wiped out, the boss won't find out until he finds out for himself.

"Well, if it's all gone, who did you ask for that information?

"Well, that's... I caught one of the bandits and I heard"

"Did one of you catch him alive?

"I bit my tongue and died after I heard it"

Suicide, well, I don't know how it feels. But it's not.

"Well, I'm headed to the guild now, just say hello to Lily."

It's still a long way to dawn, but I wouldn't have that much trouble going down the road at night.

Yes, I have to pick up Mary and Marie, my beloved horses, who I put away in front of the bridge.

I was totally gonna run. I am.

"Yes, Mr. Chrono, please go"

Fiona dropped me off, and I'll be right behind you.

Wait, I'll arrange for you to pick me up tomorrow morning!
