Kuro no Maou

Episode 502: Like the Wind

"Nooo! Don't come over here! Disgusting day!!

I scream, cutting off the tentacles that are stretched out at Halvard and slapping the octopus in the head with a blade to return.

I feel like I have more power to cut this one because of the lack of bones, though it's softer than goblins. Bechari, and how disgusting it is for green fluid to erupt. Ugh.

"This guy sucks... they keep getting more and more"

It's Ryan, the head of the vigilante regiment, waving Halvard just like me right beside him.

The villagers took off the 203rd Pioneering Village Supply Base early, but I thought there was a mist drifting up to about knee length, and that's when this octopus monster called "Gratney Octo" showed up to chase me.

The only thing that's in battle is the rear end of the line that the vigilante is focusing on consolidating, and the monster demon's hand hasn't reached the beginning yet. Even I, retarded, could understand that the situation was leaning towards the worse and worse, although we still managed to prevent it.

"Hey! Ryan, what are you gonna do, Death? You're gonna be surrounded like this!

"Ugh, I know what I'm talking about! Hurry up! We manage to contain the octopuses. That's the only way!

We continue our decisive response in front of a flock of octopuses that keep pushing us as we fill the streets. Even in front of a bunch of nasty tentacles, not a single one will try to escape.

That would be the case, too. Because every family they need to protect is literally a situation where they are sheltering behind their backs. Of course, me too. Right behind you, there's a carriage with kids smaller than me, and there's Sister Yuri too.

Lord Chloe had given Sister Yuri a very expensive sword that looked familiar somewhere for protection, but I don't think she could use it with only one left hand. Even if she was satisfied with five bodies, I can't imagine Sister Yuri playing a sharp sword move where she is a beautiful girl who would want to protect her from me, even if she were a woman.

I'm the only one we can protect. With that readiness, everyone is desperately waving their swords and spears and their lit pine lights - but the number of octopuses striking the evacuation line increases for a moment. At first it was just visible on the street, but if you notice, the octopus is starting to stretch its tentacles, even from the woods that spread from left to right.

I think I heard the adage in the class about when war is number. I see, I understand now that this is what you meant.

"Ooh, the fog..."

And the fog, which had only drifted to about knee length until just now, is now so full that it reaches the waist.

It was noticed when leaving the village that the fog came in order from the bottom so that the water level of the river would rise. At first it was about the height of the ankles, but when the villagers started leaving the gate, they were even coming around the shoulders. And now I can confirm that the 203rd Pioneering Village Supply Base, which should be at the end of my gaze, is surrounded by a huge mass of fog, as thrown into a bright white cloud.

I'm sure there are countless monsters in that completely misty interior.

I mean, this fog is the scope of 'Gratney Oct' action. The fog is still low, so it only strikes enough of us to lift it, but if everything is wrapped up in fog... as soon as possible, there's only one way to survive this fog by shaking it off and letting it escape.

"Hey, hurry up! Let's go!

As Ryan's cry rushes me, the slightest but faster the line goes. Most of all, I don't think I can get out of the fog right away.

Still, now I just have to slap the enemy in front of me - it's the only way!

"Hey, hey, hey!

When an octopus crawls down the ground and flies up like the ball plays in the present, it jumps at me. It's pointed like a sharp spear on the tip of the tentacle, and I'm sorry if I hit it.

But this Halvard has a longer reach.

Shake it straight into a horizontal giraffe and slash the octopus to bounce it off. One of the tentacles falls, causing the head distorted by the Buyo Buyo to be torn apart by Halvard's axe blade until it's half way through.

By the time I shook it through, the dying octopus body, half-cut of its head, blew across the fog and disappeared. There will be no coming back.

"Huh!?

I wasn't caught off guard. It just took a beat to pull back the hugely wiggled Halvard.

But a new octopus was about to roll out a sharp tentacle tip so as to poke at that moment's gap. That too, two.

Counter, we can't make it!

"Whoa, whoa! Are you okay, Leki?

"Don't be impotent!

What accidentally jumped out of the side was a spear wrapped around a flame of creepy shades of red and black on the tip of his ear.

The two octopuses were frightened as they rang with key keys and a voice like a summer bug as they were poured through a flame that burned more vibrantly than Matsuaki.

"Sengu!

While thanking Ted and Todd's Ryan brother-in-law Combine for providing cover at the perfect time, I slapped Todome's blow into the octopus, which was burned and tormented by fire.

"Wow, it's good to have this spear from Lord Chloe!

Ted's dialogue with his flaming spears as a delight sounds a little silly but honestly agreeable.

This octopus doesn't stop moving just by poking it with a regular spear. However, if the fire is on, the movement is visible and dull. Just gnaw your tentacles so you don't even have the strength to fight back.

Chloe really is an amazing person who can do anything to create even a magical weapon. Even now, even if he's not around, it feels like he protected me... kind of, my breasts are hot.

"Yabe! I lost one!!

Soon after being immersed in lovely emotion, the emergency comes.

Ryan's demise seems to have finally exceeded his limit. Sliding through the vigilante's defensive network, an integrated octopus approaches the rear carriage.

The size is about Nim. But it's unexpectedly quick to crawl through the ground like swimming, and most importantly, all I see is a misty, thin silhouette.

"Sit!"

Let's rush to pull out the Ignited Dagger on his hips - I think - but hesitate. Octopus has already arrived just behind the carriage. If it hits me and the flames erupt, I might even burn the kids.

or not frightened enough to hit a regular throwing knife or arrow. It feels like there's no safe and secure means but to smash it directly with Halvard.

"Leki's going, Death!

"Sorry, I asked for it!

Inversion, acceleration. I'll pack all the way to the carriage at once, but... I can't make it.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

With the woman's golden voice, the carriage carrier rocks so loud that it is likely to fall. Octopus stabbed the horse pulling the carrier with his tentacles. It was at the same time that the do-red splash rose from across the carrier and the carriage lost control.

"- Ahhh!?

Severe shaking causes the loaded luggage to collapse and even the children on board to be thrown out of the carrier. Included among them was Sister Yuri and, during that time, Ted's wife, who had a newborn baby.

Fortunately, the carriage speed is enough to catch up with people if they run, and the car height on the carrier is low, so you shouldn't be seriously injured if you just fall.

But in this situation, where a vicious cannibal monster is intruding, falling to the ground is too dangerous. In fact, the octopus that stopped the carriage is moving to glide with the yurali and is quickly reaching for the person who was thrown out (emotion).

It still takes, like, a few more seconds for me to tap Halvard into his brain.

Just a little time. But it's too much for that octopus to throw a little kid in his mouth.

"Hey! Eva! Let go, my Eva!

Octopus's chosen prey was the smallest of these.

I guess I let go of the baby I could hold on my chest to the clap that fell off the carrier. Eva, Ted's daughter twisted in a warm looking blanket, Lord Chloe and Sister Yuri, perform her birthday ritual in the middle of the night, rolling defenselessly off her mother's hands to the ground.

Eva's crying voice also reaches my ear. Does octopus sound the same? I don't know, but Soyts reached straight for Eva and caught her without difficulty.

Is it a coincidence that the blanket is just caught on the spear-shaped tip and not pierced?

But at the next moment, he gets thrown into a round mouth like a creepy cave.

No, running as hard as you can, you won't get another step. He drinks Eva faster!

"- Huh."

At that time, the white wind blew through, I felt like it.

I saw when I felt the soft wind stroking my cheeks. Sister Yuri pulled the sword out.

She could not stand up because she had no legs, which had been thrown out to the ground. But he was waking up his upper body to sit back in dignity.

Then, the emerald raised to his right hip pulls out a beautiful rapier dazzling his eyes, with a single left arm. It's just that it works, somewhere zoary in beauty.

Are you used to it? Good? I can't say just one word like that. The operation of the knife extraction itself is sophisticated by the difference in digits between me and the vigilante.

Though it seemed to work slowly, in fact, it happened for a moment. A super fast knife pull, done in a shorter time than I took a step in.

And Sister Yuri flew when a magnificent silver fillet was exposed, unbeaten by flashy decorations.

Impossible. Even if I actually saw it, I didn't think it was possible. 'Cause how the hell do people with no legs jump?

"... wind"

It was unusual for me and I immediately came up with an answer. If you don't have legs to kick the ground, you can use magic.

And maybe the magic of the wind came to me right away when I fought Dortos, because I feel it with my own hands.

A thin, green breeze is gushing out of the rapier Sister Yuri has in his hands. The emerald green airflow that occurred carried her body, which she shouldn't be able to move.

As a result, Sister Yuri let her fly about three meters forward.

Understood and convinced. But it's a sight that doesn't seem realistic, even in dreams. Due to his lack of hands and feet, Sister Yuri's entangled monastic clothes are always davodavo and now he even wears a large eyed headscarf (wimple) to hide his face. What a swallowing feeling on my mind that the intense white and blue fabric doesn't get tangled up.

That's how she flew with the power of the wind. Ahead, the octopus on the verge of throwing Eva into her mouth right now.

A flash of silver is depicted in the void. If the action of pulling out the sword was beautiful, waving the blade was also beautiful. Unexpectedly, so much to fall in love with.

slaughtered. That's what I noticed after the tentacles that were catching Eva were cut off, giving her a green blood splash from the cross section, and a chirping of pain with Kyower to see the depressed octopus.

And slightly shifted his gaze from there to the side, he had the appearance of Sister Yuri, who had set a magnificent landing. Soon, she had Rapier's full body in her small mouth, with her empty left hand, holding Eva.

At the same time as I cut off my tentacles, I let go of Rapier and retrieved Eva so she wouldn't fall.

A series of motions, as if they were invisible. All in all, for the first time since the results are thus available, understanding catches up. Right, feeling like you've seen God's miracle.

But I already understand. The rescue play now is by no means God's help. Purely because of Sister Yuri's superhuman skill.

"... a flash of disease (Yale Slash)"

Sister Yuri, who slowly took Eva down to the ground and then took Rapier again, was stabbing her todome at the octopus with martial arts, as she deserved.

Despite the fact that the blade was in between not reaching, for some reason, the octopus body was separated into two, no, four.

Oh, well. I'm the blade of the wind. Lord Chloe taught me before that the 'Wind Blade (Yale Sagitta)' of lower attack magic cleaves enemies with a wind blade. And reproducing similar effects with weapons also means that they are classified as martial arts, not magic.

"Hey, I didn't ask you, Death... this..."

Too surprised, I don't know what to say to her. There are no more enemies to defeat and just stop at the dumb end.

"Eva! Good...... really...... oh Sister Yuri, thank you!

The first person to rush over to Sister Yuri was Eva's mom, which should be taken for granted. I held her softly lying on the ground in my chest just so hard that it was now time to never let go, and I was saying thank you in tears.

"It's dangerous here. Hurry up."

Sister Yuri, who gives it back, is cool everywhere. Absolutely, as usual, he is faceless and untouched.

I can't believe it hasn't changed so much under these circumstances when a monster strikes... she really, maybe there's no such thing as a human emotion. The series of moves I just showed you isn't like being able to have a very normal Sister. Yeah, even if he was someone called a leading swordsman or warrior, I don't know if he could. Even if I lose both legs and my arms, I can't believe I slashed down the monster with a cool face and rescued the baby without scratching a scratch.

I suddenly don't understand her. Who the hell is this guy?

"... ah"

But accidentally I flashed.

Oh, yeah. She's so strong, she can stay with Lord Chloe.

Although there is no evidence or basis, I was, for some reason, satisfied with the answer.

"Oh, oh... I knew it, Leki... no, it's Death"

I wonder what I'm doing.

Even fighting like this now suddenly feels vain.

"Leki."

Sister Yuri calls me. I'm calling, it takes about a beat to realize. I was bawling.

Her red eyes, pointing straight at her, are supposed to be the same most familiar eye color as mine and my own (Barbados), but they feel terribly heterogeneous. "Yes," he replies not very hectic, unexpectedly distracting me.

"I'll join you, too."

"Yes... Thank you, Mass..."

I'm not willing to stop at all. Stopping, that's ridiculous.

Without legs, without arms, Sister Yuri, she is undoubtedly the strongest of those who are here now.

to the point where there is no such thing as my existential value.

"-" Whirlwind Blade (Ale Ouvablast) ""

As she waves her sword, a strong green wind blows through the streets.

Looking back, several octopuses approaching the vigilante's present were cut to pieces, giving Russia a blood splash. The blade of the wind shining on the pale emerald is sharper in cleavage than the iron sword, and the moment of chopping the octopus body looks wonderful.

"Ah, the fog..."

Yes, it wasn't a coincidence that I saw it, it was natural. The fog, which was full of streets, is gone.

When did it disappear, no, by the magical wind that blew it out, the fog was paid off.

Not all the fog cleared up, but the effect range of Sister Yuri's unleashed 'Whirlwind Combined Blade (Ale Orvablast)', rather than range? It felt like only the part in was pushed away. Dozens of meters away, still bright white fog keeps swirling to drink us.

Still, it doesn't make a difference that my vision has improved.

"Whoa! Seriously, he's awesome! Thanks for the help, Yuri!

Rather than surprise, I find Ryan a little more jealous of being stupid honest and happy.

"Coming! Here comes the magic cover!?

"Now we win!

Not only Ryan, but other vigilantes were on the same level.

No, you're not. I'm sure I'm the only one with complicated feelings about her activity. I'm honestly not happy, I'm just ugly.

"" Whirlwind Blade (Yale Auva Blast) ""

Sister Yuri just keeps quietly waving the magic sword of support without ever replying to one of the vigilante's joyful voices.

All she has to do is wave her sword, the fog in front of her is paid off, and dozens of octopuses are slashed down. The number of enemies who can reach us by scratching the wind blade is less than half as high. Fewer enemies. The vigilantes will safely and securely serve in pairs.

Burning ignition spears (Ignited Lance) broil and frighten, iron spears sew away. And with long bladed weapons such as swords and axes, he cleaves his head deep and stabs Todome. Steady collaborative play was the result of training with Chloe, or the octopus was tailored one after another without precipitation.

As such, we move on with gnawing as we stain the streets with green blood. Miraculously, without even letting one dead man out.

"Whoa, we're out of the fog!

As long as it's gone, the fog clears up completely. If you look to the right, a quiet snow forest spread, and if you look to the left, you could even see a large mountain of apparently Galahad far away.

But if you look behind you, you keep drifting like a mass of clouds with white fog coming down on the ground.

"I knew they wouldn't come out of the fog."

I try to be careful about my surroundings, but I couldn't see the octopus anywhere anymore. However, in the fog that smokes in the rear, I'm pretty sure they're still lurking countless times.

In the meantime, as long as that fog doesn't stretch out to this one, it'll be safe.

"Huh, thanks to Yuri, I saved your life."

With a refreshing face like a job done, Ryan is happy to have each other safe with the vigilantes.

We still have a long way to go to the Alsace Fortress, but still, we were able to get through the pinch in front of us. Honestly, you can be happy here.

"Hey, Leki, you did your best, didn't you? Well done, I'll appeal to the priest, haha!

Good luck? Good job?

Who, if I... really, am I? Can you tell him to stick his chest up, praise him?

"... non"

No. No. No.

I didn't do anything.

"Hey, what's up, Leki, look scared. Are you hurt?

Oh, yeah. I have not suffered any of the injuries.

What an easy fight it was. If this is the case, it would be better to mock with Lord Chloe.

So, I didn't fight, I just got let live.

Sister Yuri, by her.

Lord Chloe's lover. And undisputed, just lined up next to him, a strong man.

"You can't keep up, Death."

I've made up my mind.

The day I betrayed Ur, my best friend.

Follow Lord Chloe. No, precisely, leave me, go after him.

"Kids are on the battlefield, you can't take them"

That's what they told me, so I'll go after him. Be sure to catch up and show them.

Because if I'm not a child, if I'm stronger, much stronger than I am now, then I'm sure we'll be together.

I want to be strong. You have to be strong enough to fight him, shoulder to shoulder.

Don't look like Sister Yuri is helping you.

On the contrary, I am inferior to Ur now.

Across that fog, at the 203rd Pioneering Village Supply Base, she will still be fighting with Lord Chloe. Yes, I don't want to, next to him.

I can't stand myself anymore, pitifully weak.

"Go, Hale!!

So I popped out.

The streets that have been going so far continue, towards the back.

"Oh, hey, Leki! You, what are you doing, get back here!

I can hear Ryan screaming from behind. I'm sure he's not only stopping you, he's probably chasing you to stop me.

Naturally stopped. Even myself, I have a sense of what a stupid imitation I am.

Still, this helpless thought can no longer be stopped.

"Leki will, Death, I will, Death! Absolutely, follow Lord Chloe Daes!!

Shaking up Halvard, I jumped into the white monster's nest again.
