Kuro no Maou

"Hey, it's been a while. I was waiting for a reunion."

In time, is it about the first time in six months? Naturally, she was standing there looking exactly the same as she was in my memory.

Bright white hair, skin and clothes. In it, only crimson eyes, bright red as blood, gleam spookily. Girl of inorganic beauty like a doll.

And he is the mightiest man to put together an aura of silver that the Apostle testifies to.

What prevented me from playing even the first "Darkness" of my body that I let bathe without difficulty is making me feel the difference in strength that separates me from her even now.

Again, strong.

But I declare it again. On the walls of Daedalus, just like when you pointed the blade.

"Sariel, now it's time to... kill you!

"Really..."

That time, he must have given me the same cold response.

But is it also something I think about now? Sariel blinked his red eyes only once, patsy, then said.

"You killed too many crusaders. I've missed you twice because I'm not allowed to be an apostle."

"You wanted me to thank you? Or is it the one called penance?

"I don't know. I can't miss you anymore -"

Thus, Saliel slowly stood his spear with both hands. When you fought me, you never put up a spear, not the first time you escaped, not the second time you daedalus walled.

"I will kill you, Chrono Mao."

It was Sariel's first attempt at murder.

Vividly revives the memory of defeat. A white battle engraved in the back of my brain appeals to me. Run, he said.

"Sariel, I told you before. You're going to kill me, and you're going to call me."

But the joy that gushed from the depths of my soul smeared the fear of coming to my chest.

"Now we're finally on par"

Sariel finally recognized me as his enemy. I'm not fighting like a clown anymore, I'm going one-sided.

All for this fight.

Today is the day I... No, we defeat the Apostle.

"Let's go, formation 'Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)'!

The flash of red and white strikes Sariel at that moment when he stands up.

On the right, the white, shining beam is Lily's "Flashing White Arrow (Lux Fortis sagitta)". On the left, the fierce Red Lotus tornado is Fiona's "Fire Long Spear (Ignis Fortis sagitta)". Both of us, though we can't see each other now because we're standing behind me, had signs of a magical feeling of billowing on our backs revealing the presence of a companion that was no more comforting.

Being sandwiched from left to right by the advanced attack magic thus unleashed, Saliel showed herself kicking lightly on the ground all the way back, landing a bullet at the next moment. Disappear beyond the blast of flames and light.

"- Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth)"

In the midst of a blaze of white light and burning flames, I chose the defensive magic of pseudo-earthly attributes rather than howitzer shelling (grenade burst) of pursuit.

At the same time as the pitch-black soil walls soar high as the earth bulges as-is, a dull sound strikes its walls hard.

"As always, it's a very powerful thing to do with inferior habits."

I was once shot through without the skill of making it into the unchanging junior attack magic that I called "White Pile (Sagitta)". But now, it stops at a critical point, even as the large, sharp tip is peered into this side of the wall that I let unfold.

Being exposed to almost unintentional hitting and pinching, but coming in an immediate counterattack, it's still not the person you can fathom to the point of just getting a little stronger.

"But that counterattack is bad."

Over there, scattered in the wind and cleared of black smoke, Saliel shows up with a face that doesn't eat anything. Again intact. Not a single burn mark on a pure white coat.

But me, Lily, and Fiona, we're not gonna do any damage with that. There's only one purpose here. Let Sariel do everything in her power to distance herself from this place.

If you hit the offense properly, Saliel will always fight back against Matomo. It's too dangerous to give way, fool. If this one doesn't show movement honestly, they'll be on guard.

Well, it's not even that hard to direct to execute. The point is, over a hundred meters from here, if Sariel doesn't leave, that's fine.

Fiona's magic was so brilliant that she could succeed on just that condition.

"Good luck, Mr. Krono, Mr. Lily."

I look back sparingly against Fiona, who sends some other HR-like ale.

"Oh, I got it."

Fiona stood at the end of my gaze, answering that. Long, pale, watery hair - yes, windy long hair everywhere, there's Fiona.

This is the second time I've seen that. And I felt the same way about holding it.

He said he looked like a demon.

"I'll be there -" Purgatory Junction (Inferno Fall) ""

At that moment Fiona with long hair crushed, everything in the world, wrapped in red lotus flames.

Rank 3 Dungeon: The Catacombs of Resurrection (Revival Catacombe) Final Hierarchy. In front of a coliseum-like square with undead monsters, the main rich of a dungeon in the middle of it, we now test the power of the blessing we have been given.

"Let's go, Lily, Fiona - Formation: Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)"

Fiona was the first to move. It is she who is responsible for the first phase of this formation.

I know this is the first time I have truly activated the power of protection, but its expression remains unchanged and does not make me feel like I am nervous or anything else.

That's how she mumbles quietly.

"Deeper Evil Than Original Sin -" Black Witch/Endymion ""

From Foona's body sprays up in Russia like a black beard. It was an aura of black light, both as disastrous as a curse and as divine as a holy miracle.

Apparently, the protection was activated successfully. But there's more to this.

"'Demon Proof of Existence (Noir Taboo)'"

Fiona tells me beforehand that the magic of that evil name is a kind of enhancement. So don't be too surprised, he also said.

But that was an impossible consultation, and I know it at this time.

Because the magic was more of a transformation than a reinforcement.

When the black aura blows up so that it can play, it becomes a single pillar, enveloping Fiona's body. Close your eyes, a restful look like you are sleeping well. You look totally defenseless in your outfit, but the attack doesn't fly from Rich.

He probably knows it's no use. Aura, the exposition of God's power, which is deployed at high density, is now the same as being isolated by walls of dimensions, so to speak. The attacks of this world do not reach the world of God.

In such a narrow space of the world, Fiona's body begins to change.

First, my hair grew. The water-colored short hair, which could be described as her trademark, instantly spread vastly as if it had come at that length from the beginning.

Long stretching beyond the waist, the blue hair is as beautiful and brilliant as a waterfall with fresh streams falling quietly.

And, as opposed to the crystal-like hair of beauty, horns grew, symbolizing a different force.

Twisted large two corners. Should I say it's like Bafomet, or should I call it like Diabolos? Either way, the corners emitting pale phosphorescent light in clear shades like crystals had satanic shapes everywhere.

From his side head, he breaks through a triangular hat worn on his head and pokes at him with majesty.

"... apparently, you're doing well"

Fiona grows long hair and horns, twinkling with a caged voice of intense power that echoes to her soul as if it were the will of a curse, marking the time of awakening.

The moment I saw the open eyes, Zo ran a chill on his spine.

The golden eyes, as beautiful as the sun, were intact in colour, but their brilliance had become a demonic light, similar to that of a mountain of gold lumping people into desire.

"The charm lives there. You shouldn't stare too much, Chrono."

I was aggressively out of sight of Fiona to explain Lily, who felt cold somewhere.

But Fiona looks so beautiful that it's no stranger if the charm is activated than the original one. She is a hell of a beautiful girl, although she is usually too close a relationship to forget by accident.

If by the magic of the Black Witch Endymion the true fascination resided in its beauty, I see, it could indeed be a witchy change.

However, in the two corners, Fiona's figure, with her fascinating demonic eyes, is more than a witch.

"You sound like a demon."

"Yeah, you're right, Mr. Chrono. This Demon Proof of Existence (Noir Taboo) is -"

Fiona's dialogue, which talks about me out of sight, is blocked as she deliberately peeks forward.

"Order!

Rich's dark magic, black turbulence with hedro-like viscosity drank Fiona. Is it a spell or a derisive dialogue against Fiona that exposed the gap?

Either way, the funny thing was the skeleton waving the wand up in a huge posing.

"- Turning people into demons, because it's magic"

Namely, demonization.

There was no such thing as Rich's attack, but Fiona completed the explanation for the first time at my usual pace.

The range attack of the black hedro that struck her is instantly engulfed in flames, as though the identity of it was actually oil. Dirty black was smeared into a burning red, like a flame of purification.

Later, only Fiona, a beautiful looking demon with no spots, will be standing.

"Well, it looks like the demonization has gone well too, so let's get started"

So for the first time Fiona turned her gaze as if she had noticed Rich's presence.

While Rich, the deaf, ragged voice, probably shook up his wand in an attempt to retake it, Fiona gracefully put up a long wand (staff) - that, if you look closely, 'Ainsbroom' is also subtly changing its design? Well, anyway, this one's finally moving into an offensive position.

"- Fallen, to the original leftover fire 'Purgatory Junction (Inferno Fall)'"

Thus, Fiona's Dimensional Magic (World Dimension) was activated.

Everything in the world was going to burn, and my own body and soul were going to burn to the burning pain - such a horrible feeling ran for a moment. It wasn't the pain that bothered me, as if it was too much throat and I forgot the heat. For the second time, it is an exaggeration.

"Apparently, it's a success."

If you open your eyes, it's the magnificent mountains that spread there. But it was stained with red monochrome, a shade opposite the midwinter snow mountain.

This was a volcano.

The mountains, cut more steeply than the Galahad Mountains, which soar in front of them, are all erupting vibrantly and vigorously from the summit. Whatever, as if not to allow the existence of life, the magma spraying up there, forming several great rivers, illuminated the world with glitter and dazzling orange glow.

In that, I stand like the middle of a flat rocky mountain. The view of the surrounding area makes it seem that there are elevations there, but on the front, back, left and right, it's a place that opened up like a wilderness, just with big rocks gobbling around.

On the other hand, if you turn your gaze to the sky, there is a more ruinous view there than on the ground.

It's a red sky like blood. An even creepy red color, completely different from dusk, fills the sky. In the first place, I couldn't find anything sunny, looking east, west, north and south, anywhere.

Instead, huge black clouds, like the entrance clouds, are coming in from all directions, glowing gobbly and red thunderbolts. Today's weather looks rough. No, I guess it's always like this because it looked the same when I crusaded Rich.

Most of all, you'll never get used to seeing a view like the end of the world called the sky stained with Zhu on such a burning earth. If you suddenly get thrown out here like this, you're going to freak out without another week of despair.

But I wanted to, and I came here. For me this hell is more of a glorious land full of hope.

"Welcome to the Purgatory World, Sariel"

I throw a welcome word at her, still cold and faceless, with her white hair and coat loose in a scorching breeze but not a grain of sweat.

"This is... Dimensional Magic (World Dimension)"

"Oh, you're right"

Besides, I can't think of any other reason why such a massive change on a global scale has taken place.

This is not the Wake where the Galahad Mountains erupted suddenly, only that we were trapped in a part of the divine world where the Black Witch Endymion lived, manifested by Fiona.

"So, how are you feeling?

"I feel a great deal of malice here"

"Probably because the bad gods are watching us"

The Lord of this world, of course, and perhaps the ancient Demon King. I'm sure you're sending me a pretty ale.

"And the white god hasn't seen you. As long as I'm here, I can't see."

Purgatory is not the abstract meaning of purgatory, because it is a place far from heaven after hell. It's about a clear, visible, realistic change.

"What's up, Sariel, the white aura's gone?

……

Now twice, I blinked. Sariel's big eyes, patchy. I saw this as quite, surprising.

Probably no experience of Aura disappearing.

Naturally if you are an apostle. Always boasting the ability of the White God to provide infinite white magic. Aura, who is essentially her own magic, can only disappear during the battle.

But now at this time, the brilliance of silver had disappeared from Saliel's body.

"There's a place on this Pandora continent where shelter disappears. That's mostly the most dangerous dungeon... in short, Purgatory (here) is one of them."

To my thankful explanation, Sariel pierces the immovable no-reaction.

Just stand still, staring at me with crimson eyes.

Staring at each other for a few seconds, Sariel opens her little mouth just like she came up with.

"... I have received three previous operations to weaken the Apostle"

Sariel spoke brilliantly of the elements that form the backbone of the formation 'Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)'. If you experience it with your own hands, can't you just not notice?

"Are we all the same to think? I'm telling you, ours is original. The dumb apostle gave me a hint."

Never forget, the 6th of the month of the first fire. Eighth Apostle Eye appeared on the street leading to Sparda. We were forced to fight a joke, but that shame proved the usefulness of weakening the Apostle.

At that time, Lily caught up to one more step by setting up an obstruction (jammer) for the unsealing, using the fact that Eye's hair fastening was a sealer that suppressed the power of the apostle.

For the convenience of disguising himself as an adventurer, Eye would have deliberately worn a sealer to conceal the power of the Apostle. What a strangling item. There must have been a chronic mind that you can disarm it at any time.

The intrusion was a cautionary operation, which turned out to be a defeat - but if Eye hadn't regained the power of the Apostle, I'm pretty sure we could have killed him off like that.

"I still won't be strong enough to take you down. But how about now? I suppressed the power of that monstrous messenger, now."

The formation "Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)" was born when Fiona gave this dimensional magic (World Dimension) called "Purgatory Realm (Inferno Fall)" thanks to the protection of "Black Witch Endymion".

In the first place, it has become a legend in Pandora that the place where protection weakens and extinguishes because that is where certain divine powers extend so strongly. In places bordered by legend, for example, the protection of that God can be more powerful, and vice versa. Phenomena such as, however large or small the influence, can be seen everywhere.

The Asbel Mountains, where Last Rose was nesting, are among them. To a lesser extent, the protection of God with the Ice attribute becomes a little stronger in the Middle Belly, but when Rank 5 Monsters reach the mountain depths where they jump, the protection of God other than Ice becomes unusable. There it is called 'Frozen Realm (Eyes Zero Field)' which freezes even the miracle of God.

Even in the real world, it has such a huge impact. It goes without saying that if it were to be the very world in which God dwells, it would be the power and the way.

Most importantly, Fiona only demonstrates part of this purgatory by magic, so only part of Endymion's dominance.

This means that Saliel is not yet a wacko who has completely lost his apostolic power.

"I've never been so restrained from power"

It's an honor to keep it in compliment, and I can no longer afford to give it back with a joke.

But it's possible to kill you.

From Sariel's body again, an aura of silver erupts. It's been saving power until now, but with intense momentum, it's darker, brighter, white magic bursts.

Until just a moment ago, there were only signs of the girl as she looked, but now, Saliel had completely regained the intimidation and presence of a giant dragon.

"We've been ready until today to kill you messengers. Including having a futile chat with you since I fell here."

Fiona's "Purgatory Boundary (Inferno Fall)" would be superior to Lienfeldt's "Cathedral Boundary (Sanctuary)" if completed as a dimensional magic (World Dimension). There is just a huge separation between building a wall of the world and calling the world itself.

But for that matter, it has the major disadvantage of having a short activation time, instability.

Perhaps it is just an extraordinary magical effect on people. It's not a substitute for what happens to a little practice. This way, it's like Fiona's genius magical sense is proven just because it's short but 100% activated.

Knowing that, I gave Dallas and Saliel a high theory because I wanted to brag about the power of this Purgatory Realm (Inferno Fall).

I mean, buy time. If Sariel hadn't listened, I'd have had to fight this little time alone. Stupid. You were honest with me about the conversation, and it helped.

"I'll show you one more thing, the Black Gods."

I raised my right hand wide as I grabbed the red-burning heaven. It is a sign to move the formation 'Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)' to the second stage.

That's how I called her name in this purgatory sky.

"- Let's go, Lily, it's a merger!
