Kuro no Maou
Episode 491: The Cavalry
"Leki, you fight too. There's one more now, and I want someone who can fight... can you?
Chloe told Leki that as the evacuation bell rang and the villagers continued to gather to church. Her answer, of course, is settled.
"You can! Leki, do it Death!!
I was more than happy to be relied upon. The only anxiety for her is that she, along with the other children, is told to keep her company in church. That means that the efforts that have been put into short but dense training will be denied. They say it was a child's game.
So I'm glad Chloe told me to "fight" without having to ask for it. So much for joy, so much for wanting to scream out.
"Good boy. But don't be impotent."
I was happier when I could gently stroke my head like that. Being treated like a child is not a pleasure to Leki, who calls herself Ursula's sister precious, but I don't know why, I don't hate being made Chloe.
He's a leech that makes his chest jump to the point where he can spare his own emotions, but still, he listened firmly to the placement instructions and finished gearing up without delay.
Leki's holding area is the gate opposite the main gate where the goblins are assembled. Even as a child I knew that it would be Chloe's consideration not to suddenly put me at the forefront. It's enough that you let me stand on the battlefield, and besides, there are a few other vigilantes on Leki's back. There is a need for vigilance. And there is a chance that there will be a battle.
Leki came to this occasion after being dropped off by two worried Ursulas and the same faceless Sister Yuri. Even so, it's a small village. From the central square where the church is built, to the fence, which serves as a line of defence, it is only a few hundred meters away. If the enemy pulls this place out, it will be over.
"Hey, man, the main entrance. Well, it sounds like the fight's already started"
"Well, something sounds awesome... but are you okay?"
Although they are called vigilantes, young people from just rural areas, who have no particular experience in action, discuss somewhere anxiously, sweating tension on their cheeks. Sowa Sowa and I looked around tightly, and I switched spears in my hand over and over, and it looked really restless.
"I have Lord Chloe, I'm absolutely fine, Death!
But the youngest Leki was the most grand on this occasion.
Halvard, a given heavy knight, is royally set up as Don, and from his waist he lowers his long sword and knife, respectively. The equipment alone is superior to the vigilante, but I know Leki's strength, and therefore there is no dissatisfaction from the members. Most importantly, there is no such thing as armor for children, so protective equipment is the usual monastic garment.
Such a trust in Chloe, which can be described as pure, is none other than because she herself feels his strength.
I can feel my daily growth myself. Without a doubt, I can assure you that I am stronger today than I was yesterday. If you compared it to before you started training, the more the world itself looks different.
Still, it doesn't even reach Chloe's feet. It feels as if we have finally taken a step through the clouds and into the mountains. I can't imagine at all how long it would take until I caught up with his true prowess and stuck him up so high.
"Well, Master Chloe, seriously, it's a strong tease"
"Oh, you're so strong, are you okay?"
Even if it's not as good as Leki's, they also see Chloe's superhuman combat abilities every day and feel them through themselves. There is no doubt that the vigilantes in this village will athe Chloe's power far more than a bad knight. At least because they don't know anyone but Chloe who can afford to pay back even if it takes thirty at the same time.
It was after a little while when I kept on alert listening to the vigilantes who had regained some calm and the hustle and bustle of the battle that echoed from afar.
"-!?
Leki was the first to detect the signs. But before making any noise, the enemy showed up.
"Whoa, seriously, I'm out!
"Come on, give me a break, you're quite there!
Zorozolo and the goblins jump out of the woods stretching beside the streets. Ten, twenty, thirty - perhaps, a population of about fifty bodies.
"Yu, it's a bow! Hey, come on, shoot the bow!
Fortunately, the Goblin troops are not equipped with long-range attack weapons such as bows. All they can do is throw stones or so.
"By the time we get closer, we'll have to keep the numbers as low as possible!
"Attract and shoot well, our arms anyway. Then you won't hit us far!
Was it not less a gift of daily training that the bow could be placed in the hands promptly, calling such attention to each other? Chloe had not only been in a simulated battle in action, but had also trained several times to assume the defense of the village.
Sharpening a bunch of monsters pushing against the fence with a bow is a natural tactic that anyone can understand, but there is a difference between cloud mugging when it comes to actually assuming and practicing and bumping into production.
The vigilantes are desperate for everyone to protect their village. They took an interception stance, recalling the scarce training experience with a poorly done head.
Those vigilantes who did not disrupt the advent of the enemy would have been able to intercept these fifty or so goblin units. But as if to mock them, decisive enemy power is put in here.
"Hey, what the fuck, that deadbeat..."
"I didn't hear you had an elephant monster!
Everyone despairs the moment the gray giant emerges from the woods as he pushes the trees over. A big elephant monster, never seen in Sinclair. The fact that it is loaded with goblins on its back makes it clear that the enemy is fully capable of obeying it, not by chance appearing on this occasion, but by holding the reins of the Xu.
The figure is still reminiscent of the elephant cavalry that Dragnov, the great empire of the east, rolled out.
"You can't stop this number of people! Hey, you, go get it!!
As one rushed out to the main gate side to preach, as everyone on this scene had imagined, Goblin's driven elephant cavalry turned straight to the front of the gate to show the structure of the rampage.
"Fuck, they're coming!!
It was an instant event that the gate was broken.
The elephant cavalry, which began to advance with incredible speed from its large body, was like a falling rock rolling down the slopes of a mountain. A sporadic arrow could not have stopped the momentum.
Neither could we add a loco interception, and the vigilantes scattered around the gate with the momentum to escape the scene.
"... Sit"
Feeling fragments of the shattered gateway fly right beside him, Leki stared at the elephant cavalry, who fulfilled his dignified intrusion into the village.
Barbados' characteristic red eyes shimmer like the flames lit, forgetting the weight of the steel halvard in their hands.
The situation is so desperate that even children can see it at first glance - strangely, there was no fear.
Feeling a loud heartbeat, Leki took a quiet, step.
"GUEEEEE!!
Successive goblin troops continued to pour in from the broken gate with a deafening, high-powered squeal.
The elephant cavalry was difficult to control as it was in his war history with Dragnov, and after breaking the gate with a ramp, I could see how distressed Goblin was to pull the reins to stop the walk and calm it down once. There will be some respite before we set the course again and move towards Central Square.
Fifty goblin infantry soldiers have filled the gap.
Fortunately, you don't have that much control? All at once they would not be attacked by vigilantes, and some of the movements were fragmented, such as robbery or breaking into nearby houses, throwing lit pine lights and carrying out sabotage activities, or rushing straight out to Central Square.
Still, a small number had begun fighting with vigilantes, and, regardless, even before Leki, a member of them, a goblin appeared.
More goblins gather under her than any other vigilante, whether you thought it was easy to give Leki a child at first glance. My people are so full of enemies in front of me that I can't possibly expect any help - for God's sake, Leki never even thought about shards right now.
"Dare!!
Leki waved Halvard to the goblin in front of her thoughtfully as she shouted the word "die" in the language of her hometown.
What is conceived behind her brain is a simulated battle with Chloe. Now Leki understands for herself that the blow she makes is not a compliment. He said he had gained momentum and just let himself wield his weapon.
Such a clean attack, Chloe avoids without difficulty. I would avoid it even if I hadn't seen it. Even if you let it go straight from behind, you don't hold the image of a hit at all.
But right now, it's not a strong, gentle, cool superhuman priest in front of you, it's just a wild goblin.
Even when Chloe would have already begun to move, Goblin doesn't make it as slight as if he hadn't noticed an imminent attack. As if, naturally, it was natural to do so, Goblin accepted the steel blade coming down from the brain weather.
Halvard slaps him at the mercy of his strength, from Goblin's brain to his crotch. He slashed a hard skull and nearly a meter of meat mass for every few bones, but it was surprisingly light in Leki's hands and only conveyed a soft feel. No, to be precise, should I say that I felt that way because I'm Leki?
"Wow."
The first enemy to kill with a mind, a weapon in his hand, each.
Leki has been taught many times before the ethical and moral matter of how heavy the act of biocide is. Even in the Nikolai Priest classes I always took while half asleep, the wonderful crucial teachings were spoken so repeatedly that I would remember.
Leki now understands at this moment that it was just a fiction.
A light twinkle, like a joke leaked from his mouth, was the weight of 'killing' as it were.
Yes, nothing. There's no big difference between slamming a fish on a slab and slamming a goblin off in Halvard. Kill. What's so simple about the act?
When I realized it, the waving Halvard was lighter.
"Hey, you fuckers, Kilzemwall!!
Harvard, who has been swept away, blows away his goblins. Slow motion, as if it were a structure full of gaps. Not so different from the tried out straw kakakashi to make sure it's seriously cut.
No, for the lower back length, goblins are much easier to slash. Chloe, who always deals with him, has two big head minutes, and even for other vigilantes, he's a lot taller than Leki if he's an adult male.
The little goblin is just as tall as he is. I've never seen someone so vulnerable before.
With a rusty blade swinging from all sides with an odd voice, Leki beats those who are in time in turn while avoiding them in jeopardy. Harvard, wielding forcefully with the power in front of him, is a blade storm to be exact.
If it hits the living, it cleaves every bone, and even if it is lucky to guard it with a sword, it is broken without difficulty and knocks the attack straight in.
Unilateral killings by Leki end in less than a minute. If you notice, there was only a split corpse of goblins scattered around you, and not one person standing was gone except himself.
At the edge of his sight, he shows a vigilante responding to the goblins as a threesome as trained. I think we should go in the assistant knife, but it's dismissed immediately. Because what you see in the middle, not at the edge of your sight, is a rough elephant cavalry starting to advance down the street.
If the array runs out again, it will quickly reach Central Square, which is an evacuation site. And in case you run into the church with that momentum...
"Death, Dear Chloe... Leki protects Ur, everyone, Death!!
Leki chose to face the elephant cavalry, single and proud of its rocky mountain-like giant.
He shakes up the bloody Halbad and runs to chase the monster of an elephant who takes a heavy step. It is possible to catch up with Leki's legs well enough before he starts to advance. But on the contrary, if you run out once, you have no more means to stop it.
"Yahhhhhhhh!!
Momentum to slash off his back legs like a tree, Leki swings a full swing of Thoughtful Halvard. The bargain is not the goblin ratio. The feeling of cleaving the overwhelming weight is so intense that you are likely to accidentally hand off the pattern.
Still, he ate up his teeth and shook off Halvard brilliantly.
Spraying blood splash. Kaishin's blow - but the monster giant doesn't tilt.
The weapon, Halvard, combines the tip of the spear with the ax blade, allowing for both slaughter and spike. It should be remembered that, although it allows for a wide range of attacks depending on the circumstances, it is interpersonal matches whose shape presupposes.
A single blow can inflict enough fatal damage if you are a human, or a human-sized enemy, except for the story if this becomes a monster larger than a medium size. For them of far greater size than humans, the damage caused by a blade of this magnitude is equal to being stabbed by a needle.
Therefore, a larger weapon is chosen than usual to crusade a giant monster, and even so, it often becomes an operation that over quite a long period of time is slightly more resistant to bleeding and depletion.
This elephant monster is something of a medium size classification, but at least, in Leki's waving Halvard, the blade crossing seemed a little short to break both feet with one blow. A slash was carved deep into the left rear leg, but that's not enough damage to stop the walk.
"Then one more shot -"
And, the opponent was not sweet enough to allow the pursuit.
Leki's attack seemed enough to dramatically elevate the monster, turning around with tremendous momentum and shaking his long nose and fangs.
Bao Oo, Leki quickly steps backstep and escapes before his impending big fangs with a heavy bass chirp. Its departure distance is certainly beyond the extent to which the fangs have been swept away.
But neither the actual battle nor the training could yet be discerned by any less-experienced leki, that it was not enough.
"Whoa, whoa!?
Fuwari, in the next moment I realized the floating sensation, Leki's little body was blown behind my head. Her body, which flies parabolically like a thrown stone colo, fortunately lands on the roof of a two-story house with thick snow.
"Gaw!"
Leki, who gave him a splash of snow and rolled around, managed to kill off the momentum where he was about to jump out of the roof at risk.
Leki gets up quickly even as she turns her eyes a little while making sure there isn't much damage to her body and that she accidentally hands off Halvard.
But that's not the problem for her.
"Ugh, maybe that's the inherent magic (extra) death..."
Leki definitely avoided his fangs. In fact, my body doesn't have a single scar. But it blew me away.
Leki finally realized after taking a blow like this that it was not due to physical force, but to magical force. And from a physical sense, it's the magic of the wind that elephant monsters use. It's enough experience to see who you are that you blew yourself out with a strong wind around your fangs.
"I can't get close to this, then, Dace."
If it's a visible attack, I'm confident I'll cut it out and deal with it if it's training with Chloe to some speed. But if it's the wind, it can't even prevent it from being invisible.
The boulders haven't taught me anything about dealing with magic yet, and I couldn't think of a way to do it myself right now.
Flipping from an extra goblin exorcism, the image of defeating a tough giant body and troublesome wind magic in front is like an unexpected and troubled face wreck. One enemy was not attacked in pursuit.
Whether satisfied with blowing the leki, or simply losing sight of it, the elephant monster looked excited on the spot with a low groaning voice, treading a powerful foothold with Dosdos. It seemed like he was attempting to march again while the Goblin cavalry lost it again.
If you want to escape, now is the time to escape.
Whatever you think, that elephant cavalry opponent is beyond your share. You'll be praised for doing just one blow, and the kind Chloe will, I'm sure, praise you.
"Non! Leki, do it yourself, Death!
Whatever it takes, it's too soon to give up. If I run away here, Leki can't forgive herself. Yes, right, pride doesn't allow it.
Enough mood. I still can't come up with a solution, but I still try. You can stand up to it as many times as you want if it blows up. With that temper, Leki ran out of the roof.
Ideally, however, it is also possible to attack without being affected by the wind. Though I think so, the air flow without the shape of wind is suitable to cover blind spots. It is easy to imagine that you will be able to blow your whole body out front, back, left, right, and wherever you stick with it, just by producing the wind appropriately.
Still, if I were to aim hard, it would still be Better behind me. The long, wild nose on your head would strike harder than getting hit with a big man's arm if you hit him, and you don't have to think about the dangers of those flat fangs. Even if it is not a sharp blade, it is easy to tear it apart simply by rubbing it against the human body, such as hard fangs. Well, Leki's protective equipment is his usual monastic clothing. None of them have defenses.
At the time Leki hooked her leg to the edge of the roof, thinking that there was no such thing as a safety zone that wouldn't get wind, so she had to stick her relatively safe back leg or around her ass. True, I stomped at a critical moment jumping off the roof.
"... wow!
A genius flash passed the back of my brain.
Just what I came up with, instant execution. Leki pulls his nearly stepped foot in and now runs out on the roof in a different direction.
Leki also runs alongside the elephant cavalry who walked out of the street, kicking the zakuza and the pile of snow. Fortunately, the fenced village is built to have dense buildings in it, so even around the central square, houses connect houses. The path we were chasing was enough, connected.
"Death now!
Carefully distanced and timed, Leki finally decided to cut it off here, and that's how he dived off the roof this time. Aim at the back of the elephant cavalry.
Leki flashed. He said it was the safest place for a goblin rider to cross his back.
"GO, HALE!!
Leki, who flew screaming, descends to the landing site as planned. He kicked off the whole thing in the goblin again and rode brilliantly to the elephant's back.
"Gugger, gugger!?
To the sudden intruder, the goblins that were spanning were visibly in a hurry. I open the floating eyes of my cloudy eyes and spit and scream from the big mouth like a frog.
Leki, who had been jumping in from the start willing to kill him before the goblin that made him look ugly confused, pulled out his hip knife without hesitation and let the nearby integral eat the blade.
Even when it comes to the back of a big elephant, it's so narrow that if there's a bunch of goblins on it, you can barely move. There was no way they could have stood around with a weapon in their hand or anything like that, and soon they would fight back against Locke, it was a choice between being stabbed by Leki or rolling off on their own.
Leki, who knocks all of his fellow passengers' goblins out of his back, ends the rider who held the last remaining reins firmly. He had the guts not to let go of the reins, but he did not have any effective means of counterattack before Leki, who glowed the bloody knife in a giraffe.
"How dare you break the village gate, Death. Hey, fuck you!
The rider was stuck with a knife in the middle of his face, then kicked by a leech and fell.
"Jesus, I knew there was no wind coming to Coco, Death!
The genius flash proved to be right, and with a confident grin on his returning bloody face, Leki finally waved the blade as he finished the big man of his destiny.
The point where the swung down knife heads is the elephant's brain weather. Regardless, a stab in the dick knife is not fatally enough.
Long gray hair, thick skin and meat. And the strong skull beneath it protects the delicate weakness of the brain.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!!
Leki, who is totally high, keeps stabbing the knife in his head over and over again as he honks his voice while being stuck in Chloe saying "You're weird" on the first day of training. A little intensive attack. Wider and deeper wounds. We have to dig this giant until it dies.
"Ooh, nooo!?
No matter, the elephant cannot remain silent until this point. Shake off the enemies attached to you overhead, shaking your head wide left and right as you generate a loud turbulence from your flat fangs. The goblins, thrown out at their feet, stomped one after the other because of the elephant's dancing madness, blooming red flowers on the snow pavement.
It is clear that once Leki is shaken down over the head too, he will follow the same end path as them.
With a fierce strong wind blowing through and an equally shaky head on a rampage horse, Leki desperately sticks her knife out with her right hand and grips and stomps the reins with her left hand.
"Oh ugh!
The moment the elephant giant struck a tackle with extra momentum in a two-story wooden house, Leki's little body jumped up and flipped with her handrail in her grip.
But until the end of the day, Leki won't let go.
The impact hit the house or the elephant's movements dull for a moment. In the meantime, Leki quickly regained her posture and moved to add the last blow to the carved wounds.
The knife had let go of the shock now. The remaining weapon is a long sword that boasts a slightly inconvenient reach to wield over this monster. But it was the best weapon for stabbing Todome.
"Go! Fire ahhhhhhhhhh!!
The sword, held in reverse hands, was thrust to the wound of his cut head, to the best of his power.
A definite bargain. The fur had already been torn into a snag, and the cutting-edge of the knife, which had poked several times, had cracked in the skull. Finally, the long sword breaks through the hard bone protection and pierces the weakness that lies ahead.
"Ooooooooooooooo!?
The more the elephant giant is likely to flip, the greater the inversion, raising the severant demon of heavy bass that echoes at the bottom of his belly. With that momentum, Leki was finally thrown out of his head.
The giant body of the elephant was sinking with a roar as he remembered the impact of his body being struck by the snow ground.
"Ah, ouch..."
Leki rises from the snow yowling as she rubs her sledge and little butt. My head just flickers a little, but no problem. It didn't seem like a bad hit.
And as a definite effect in front of her, I saw an elephant's body lying doth black blood from the brain weather.
"Yay... yay! Congratulations Rayshawn!!"
"Leki! Leki! Leki!
I was supposed to be thrilled to be alone, but I was called out unexpectedly. You don't have to turn around, but you know who they are. The most heard voice in the world.
"Ur!? Why did you come out, Death!
Looking back, I saw Ursula, my best friend, running over out of breath, not as expected there.
"There's a goblin out back, too, because I heard. And I heard some amazing noises... so I was worried."
Hundreds of smart Ursulas know it's dangerous. But still, Leki can't help but be happy with the care of her best friend, who popped up like this. At least, it's not my job to scold you. So now, you can be happy with your eyes full, she split.
"Phew, Leki's all right, Death! See, those big monsters, Leki defeated them alone, Death!!
Leki, who so proudly puts a fallen elephant in front of her, has such a look on her face that her nose is still going to stretch.
But the look on the face of his best friend, who was supposed to share his joy, was solidified as frozen.
"... Ur? What's the matter, Death?
No way, I thought they didn't pull the tragic body forward, but apparently not. Ursula glanced at a point far away, in a fearful and other way, pointing her finger.
"Jesus!?
Before it was shown, there was an elephant cavalry.
This enemy wasn't just one, there were two of them from the beginning. He came after the gate was broken, and just now, he broke in. If I say so, it is only that simple.
But it was also a manifestation of hopelessness that could not be helped.
The elephant cavalry exhaled roughly with giggling red eyes, like an angry pig - and began to storm.
A goblin rider wields a thoughtful whip. The giant that ran out went straight down the main street. Leki and Ursula stand right on its path. Complete direct hit course.
But if Leki's physical abilities are linear, even at this distance and at this speed, he can still dodge it in time.
"Leki......"
Avoidance was impossible. Not Leki, here, there's Ursula. They're coming.
No matter how Leki boasts the power and stamina of adult face loss, it's hard to jump away with Ursula. From the offensive range of the advance, perhaps, you will not escape.
"... sorry"
Ursula must have understood her own lapse. So I apologized, and that's why the voice sounded so sad that it seemed to cry out.
"Urgh!!
Leki chose to run away with Ursula in his arms. Whether you know you can't, or you know it, still, you can't help but do something. Because she has the guts to give up to the end.
It was that moment when I reached out to Ursula's body beside me, screaming.
- Please, get rid of me.
The wind blew.
No, it is a bright white fog-like gas. That spurred momentum from Ursula's entire body.
It spreads instantly like a smokescreen, but it clumps into one like a tornado. Then a whirlpool of white fog enveloped the elephant cavalry that was already looming in front of him as he extended his arm.
The moment, the elephant, and the goblins spanning its back - disappeared.
Evaporated, should I say? Juh, in the next moment when I heard a faint sound of meat burning, their appearance scratched off.
It just wasn't without a trace. There remains a bright white bone, as evidenced by the fact that a terrible giant elephant cavalry did exist.
Leki saw the whole body skeleton of an elephant whitened in a walking appearance with four legs, but at the end of one blink, the earliest body of bone without any support fell on the street with a ragged noise.
The large bones scattered belong to elephants. I also found some goblin skulls rolling in there.
"Ugh, Ur... what's that now... Grr!?
The swirl of fog that devoured the entire flesh of the elephant cavalry had completely disappeared. But there was still a little white mist from Ursula's body, but it was definitely leaking.
And Leki, standing right next to her, is wrapped in this fog. Besides, that's not just standing around.
If you look closely, you'll see that the fog is moving and wrapping her whole body as if she were after Leki.
However, due to the weakness that is rapidly attacked and the tingling and skin irritating pain, Leki has lost enough calm to recognize the change so far. It's comparable to when you fell into a river and drowned before.
"Leki, I'm sorry, right away, because I'm leaving!
The cause is obvious. Therefore, it is simple to deal with.
Ursula finally started running back on her heels with a sad look of tears on the edge of her blue eyes to distance herself from Leki, who had fallen to the ground.
So, she finally realizes.
"Ursula, what's that... what's that?"
Priest Chloe was there. Seen. Everything, they were watching.
Ursula's "power of curse" was seen by the last person she wanted to be seen.
