Kuro no Maou

"Do something! If they pull out of here, there won't be any more!!

Ryan wields a halvard of pushing octopus monsters with the momentum of a real heavy knight (Armor Knight), cutting them off one after the other, and jumping out loud.

A spectacular indoor battle involving humans and octopuses was fought inside the vast entrance hall, which was at the tip of the Alsace Fortress's heavenly castle, its main entrance.

Having received the Acid Brace of the Great Octopus many times, the robust steel castle gate also finally dissolved, and it was about fifteen minutes before the small and medium-sized octopuses began to make their grand entrance to the castle directly from the front?

In the meantime, a mixed army of crusader soldiers and vigilantes who consolidated their defensive lines in this entrance hall made them try to build a pile of green carcasses. Three locations had been identified at the moment where the enemy had been allowed to break in, and crusaders, regular servicemen, were to be manned in their response and, as a result, vigilantes, who were finally treated as reservists, were to be put on the front line.

Most of all, the vigilantes, who are burned by the sense of mission to reclaim the villages they have pioneered, show more morale than bad infantry and more struggle than expected.

Ryan, the head of the vigilante in the 202nd pioneering village, will also be at its head.

"Oh there! Fire cover is thin, what are you doing! Burn more guns!!

"Hey Ryan, this is me, Commander, don't give me unsolicited orders - 'Flash (Slash)'!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, temeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The powerful martial arts of the two heavy knights combine to break the looming octopus of multiple bodies like chunks.

Ryan, the vigilante leader waving Halvard, and Cliff, the Knight Squadron leader who sets up the Zweihander. Supporting the entrance hall defensive line avant-garde were these two, the dog-monkey companions.

It can be said that they continue to respond to the octopus that communicates the walls and crawls around to the ceiling to the extent that the formation is somewhat disruptive, an achievement of the two struggles. A powerful avant-garde who does not send his enemies will only draw the support of a stable rear guard for that matter.

In fact, a simultaneous shooting of 'Fire Arrow (Ignis Sagitta)' by a force of magicians who would refrain behind their backs from slaying a herd of octopuses towards the two immediately after releasing martial arts.

It is the rain of flames that, time and again, unite the Octopus Corps and attribute it to ashes, but it was not they who are now exerting the greatest extinction on this occasion.

"Blow It Up - Omnidirectional Liberation (Full Burst)"

That little twinkle is further ahead than Ryan and the Cliffs, who are supposed to be avant-garde. Yes, it was emanating from such a position that the octopus that had broken in through the castle gate was overflowing in search of a place to go.

In the vortex of a flock of monsters, there is one white figure.

A silhouette that draws a soft body line that you can tell is a woman from behind. Long back hair keeps waving as if it's always in the breeze. The hindsight alone makes me imagine her beauty, but everyone here knows that the shadow is not human.

Yes, it's a translucent human form, shaped by a bright white mist. Back lengths well beyond two meters would still look even higher in a flock of octopuses crawling on the floor.

The original magic (original), named "Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia)," its principal Ursula, so threw celibacy in the vortex of enemies, continuing to erase countless monsters pale away.

"The herd thinned! Injured fall back inside now!

"Recovery! Magicians don't forget to drink magic potion!

Every time Ursula unleashes a major move, a large number of octopuses vanish in an instant. That awesome moment of fire also creates a temporary gap in the enemy's offense that reminds them of infinity.

The biggest reason they can hold up steadily before a monster storm that pushes them like rage can be described as a thank you to Ursula for her lonely struggle.

The battle began or she jumped out on her own, of course Ryan tried to stop immediately. But Ursula, who unexpectedly rushes through quickly, slips through Ryan's stretched arm and heads further forward than the avant-garde.

No matter how much, it's physically impossible to bring them back once they're gone in the middle of a bunch of enemies. Crumbly, it has become the feather that allows Ursula's arbitrary devotion. The fact that the defensive line has with its unscrupulous shame was also very painful from adults in positions where they should have been held responsible for the battle, such as Ryan and Cliff.

"- Octopus offense weakened! Get in the mood, Teme. Hey, you can beat it out of the castle all at once!!

Because of that thought, Ryan shouted courageously to move forward.

"So I'm telling you not to order on your own! But, yeah, I can't help it, keep going!!

With Ryan and Cliff at the forefront, the mixed units turned to counterattack in one piece toward the Taco Corps, whose succession was unintentionally interrupted.

In order to support the avant-garde, who dares to storm with courage and determination, he also sends down the arrows of the flame at the right time from the rear guard. The Red Lotus shower flashed into the entrance or kicked both octopuses and Ryan and the others quickly pushed Ursula to the position of fighting loneliness.

"Hey Ursula! You stupid son of a bitch, you impotent bastard!

"... sorry"

Ryan finally gets to the side of Ursula, but when he's rightly heard an apology just for his mouth, he gives an unexpectedly sinister look. If you were just a kid or your own people, you'd almost get your fist bones down without question, but that's not what a girl would do with them either. Seriously, her mood and comprehensibility would be one of the reasons why she can't get mad at the head.

"Damn, give me a break. If anything happens to you, the priest will kill me next time."

"Mm, sorry"

Pickle, and Ursula frowned, then stacked and uttered an apology. This time, my heart seemed somewhat caged.

"Don't get out front anymore. But I need you to cover me."

"I understand."

That's how they start fighting again.

Most importantly, there is ample support for the sorcerers, including Ursula, and no more enemy reinforcements. It didn't take much longer to destroy the octopus that attacked the entrance hall.

"That's it... they're all gone."

"Uhm, looks like it"

Stepping over a lump of green meat spreading across one side of the floor, Ryan and Cliff were dissolved more than half way through the front gate, which was just a hole, to see what was going on outside.

The sudden change of circumstances seems to concern Ursula as well, sneaking up right behind the two of them and staring outside where only the white fog can quietly get in.

"No way, you won?

"No, the priest's story. Then, if the enemy suddenly pulls -"

At that time, the silence was suddenly broken.

Dozn! As the painful noise sounds to block Ryan's dialogue, a tremendous momentum blows through the breeze.

"Whoa!? Oh, my God, all of a sudden!

With half a surprise and vice, Ryan looks forward by unloading the great shield he stood reflexively.

Heavy strong winds have scattered some fog around the area, opening my sight for about a few dozen meters. That said, all you can see is part of the square where the inorganic cobblestone in the fortress continues, and you don't see the enemy.

"Become, hey, what are you!?

Certainly no enemies. But I had to look like an ally. Just now, until just before the storm broke out, first of all, there definitely wasn't supposed to be anyone there.

Everyone on this spot could find a little figure lying neatly in the eyes of the main entrance.

"Oh no, Sister Yuri!?

It was Ursula who shouted that the shadow, which appeared as if it had just descended and sprung, was Sister Yuri in a familiar monastic garment.

She lies on the cobblestone without force. The large headscarf (wimple) that was worn on his head had been lost where he had gone, with long, flax hair spreading to brightly colour over the gray ground.

And in one hand of hers alone, only the broken silver and emerald rapiers are gripped from the middle.

The figure gave the impression of a brave and noble nun, weak and exhausted against God's enemies until the very beginning. Sister Yuri with a tragic and inspiring flair just because of her fall, but for Ursula, I'm purely worried about her cheapness.

Ursula took a step to rush out to Sister Yuri as she stuck her hand in the space magic (dimension) pouch paid for before the battle by Chloe and searched for the potion, at that time.

- Don't come, Ursula.

- Don't come, Ursula.

Quiet voices, on the back, jumped the spot like Sariel's body with missing limbs had been played.

Throw away the broken sword due to the impact of the landing and decide to leap with only one left arm. A squid giant with his tentacles spread all over his eyes descends from beyond the thinly smoking fog, as he squashes the remnants of it.

The two elongated tentacles were truncated earlier by Chrono, so there are four left. It is only about as long as slightly over two meters, but for that matter it is thick and the tip is turned into a hard nail.

Along with a water noise called Bechari, the nails poked cobblestones and played a tall sound with a slight spark.

Sariel, who was finishing the evasive action of rolling onto the ground, sees the alternative rapier quietly pulling out of the porch.

……

Sariel slightly shifted his gaze to the side, making sure Ursula didn't pop up.

But the look on her face made me realize that the squid she showed up here was carrying Leki's body.

Ursula's blue eyes open wide. Is your little mouth moving painfully, calling your best friend's name, or is it a word of escape that denies reality?

Either way, only Sariel, who is oblivious to people's emotions, could understand the thought that neither body nor mind could let an apprentice sister, still young, deal with this enemy.

More importantly, she already told Chrono. He asked me to leave Leki's body to him.

Sariel doesn't lie. Therefore, the words must always be executed with words.

Beat the body without damaging the leki held like a hostage. It would also be too severe a restriction for Saliel to do so with both legs and arms missing and even losing the magical rapier.

But not impossible.

"... Leki's body, I'll get it back"

After leaving so much to Ursula, Saliel concentrated her consciousness entirely on the fight.

"- Huh."

Saliel moves as her short breath of practice leaks. Momentum like a first-rate swordsman packing his time, even though he has no legs and no support from wind magic.

Its source of propulsion was, after all, the left arm, the area left only one bottle for her.

Put the sword out of his mouth and fall into his forehead so that he crawls into his stomach. The empty left hand stretches forward and fingers to slight irregularities in the cobblestone.

And then, pull your arms out of your head and fly. Simple principle, but it is Sariel's superhuman sense of power and balance that makes it possible.

Sariel, who turned into a white shell, attacked Gunegne and the squid that was just on the spot to determine his prey.

The distance of a dozen meters becomes zero in less than a second. In her hand, which had stuffed the time, a sword had already been held. The white blade flashes as it passes over the head of the triangle.

Losing one more remaining tentacle, the squid screams tall and boring.

Flip yourself to chase the enemy who attacked herself, but after Saliel had already passed by - no, still, her attack was not over.

"... blast"

The little whine is undone by a bursting explosion.

The dull squid of pain doesn't even care where a short dagger across the blade pierces his thick tentacles. It can be enough to finally create a sense of crisis for itself when it releases the black flame that it holds in its possession, becoming a bad scorching phase and coming under attack.

However, it may not be necessary not to notice Sariel's pursuit, even if he is not a squid. The throw of the pursuit by Ignited Dagger, which Chrono was giving to Saliel, was so early work, though.

Shortly after he was fed the slaughter by the sword, Saliel threw the sword away as it was, sticking his hand in the porch and taking out the knife of the blast. Pinch the blade between your fingers, three in all.

Twist yourself in the air and flip. At that point he was already on the verge of landing on the ground, but Saliel even abandoned his readiness to take the passive and threw the Ignited Dagger as it was.

A precision-controlled knife throw, which can be formed because Sariel is completely in control of his own flesh, leaves the perfect result of blowing up the three remaining tentacles from their roots.

Sariel gently activated 'Hard Body (Guard)' the moment he decided to land his torso on the ground thoughtfully to prepare for a physical impact. After rolling about a few meters of momentum, he finally looks up and captures the appearance of his enemies in sight. The squid had lost all his hands and feet that he could hold in a moment, and he was finally standing screaming a squeamish of anguish.

But there's not much more that can be done to squids who have lost their means of attack: tentacles.

Even as Sariel, later, he only performs the elimination of the body cautiously caught on Leki's back. Period, later, if you throw a dagger and burn the body one by one, you'll be able to push Leki's body to inaction without damaging it.

Sariel takes out a dagger from the porch that still has room for the remnants, and when he tries to unleash a single throw, a change comes to what the enemy looks like.

The squid got up. It is impossible to interpret it as - with too much momentum in suffering. Because the leg to be made to stand up is not by tentacles that should have been lost, but by two legs of man.

I mean, Leki's body was up.

"- Lekki!

Unexpectedly, Ursula's scream sounded like something like that.

But I can't get my best friend's word. The soul travels to the underworld, and there is no way that only the remains of the flesh can reach Leki in this world, such as the words of men.

Standing up, Leki is shaped to carry the body of a giant squid, too disproportionate for a small body. The loss of all tentacles was likely to cause the tip of the long triangular head to stick to the ground, although the total length was greatly reduced.

A little yellow eye of squid stuck to his head moves in a gutter to capture Saliel as he lays down on the ground. In addition, Leki's neck has moved slowly, turning to red eyes where raw light could not disappear, as linked to its gaze.

I'm targeting myself for attacking. Sariel could understand immediately, but the attack had to be interrupted as it was. Because Leki is turning to herself in agile motion as she did in her lifetime.

If you keep throwing the dagger like this, you'll hit Leki straight. Even directly from the front, you can also release it through the sides and between the crotches for a big head that looks like beyond your little back, but that's only a story if the target doesn't move. As far as the quick flipped reaction was concerned, it was conceived of the possibility that Leki's body might even be used as a shield after throwing the knife.

As a result, Leki takes a step toward Sariel, who only lies with no limbs as he looks.

"... fast"

The only reason Sariel bothered to say it was because it was so much unexpected manoeuvre.

Yes, the runaway Leki carries a huge load, but contrary to his appearance, he approaches Saliel with unusual speed. In an instant he rushed through a dozen meters of distance and finally danced to Saliel with such intense steps that he cracked into the cobblestone.

"Blast"

From the body of squid pressed against Leki's back, a small explosion winds up as he continues to stand.

He made a one-armed jump and threw a dagger over his back like he was jumping over a leak.

What Sariel saw as he decided to land his torso again was Leki, who, whilst blowing black smoke from his back, jumped up in momentum and set his aim for the prey again.

The main unit should be hit directly by Ignited Dagger and the damage should be pretty much through. But Leki's movements don't seem dull.

It is a very troublesome situation. It's much more power and speed to move through Leki's body than the main body that's attached fights for some reason. From what I've seen, this monster named Gratney Octo didn't seem to have any parasitic (parasitic) abilities, but I have to admit that's what it is because it's now moving Leki so brilliantly as a corpse.

Most importantly, whether this squid has parasitic abilities or uses the inherent magic (extra) of necromancy, there is nothing more to Sariel today than to focus on dealing with the undead Leki, who is going to be attacked from right in front of him without saying whether or not he has it.

Leki advances just like he did ahead, but its running speed is even higher.

"- Uh-huh."

Likewise, rather than that, that's the only way to travel, Saliel escapes with a leap in his left arm, but the moment his body danced into the universe, he was grabbed.

The last step Leki took resulted in further rapid acceleration and finally captured Saliel, who flew to escape.

Leki's hand, stretched short but full of eyes, held tight the hem of a long monastic coat that swept across the universe.

As it is, Saliel's body is beaten to the ground thoughtfully - never, and Leki just ends up waving her arms empty with a tremendous wind-cut noise.

Shown ahead of the gyro gyro and vain red eyes moving is Saliel with the sword in his hand and a large, torn hem area. The moment he was grabbed, he pulled out a spare Rapier from the porch, slit his hem and escaped.

As a result of the amputation of a considerable area, the painful legs, which were lost before the knee, are exposed. The cutting surface was tightly bandaged, and the glowing white skin of the thighs on it was painful and strangely glossy.

……

I'm being pushed. I never felt in a hurry, just pale understanding of my disadvantage.

I managed to escape earlier. But I'll probably be totally caught next time.

Like when you defeated an armored bear, if you feed the counter, you'll be able to break it off. But I'm sorry Leki's body isn't intact. It is certain to turn into a tragic corpse that is not seen as a second.

Leki's advance, which increases speed every step of the way, no longer dodges. At least, it is the limit in manoeuvrability obtained with only one left arm.

If you're prepared to discuss it, you might even be able to act incapacitated without hurting Leki. Directly to her back, insert this blade and physically detach the body. If we can get that far, Leki's body will undoubtedly be released first.

But in exchange for that, how much damage do I inflict during that instant when I become intimate with my enemies? At least, Leki's power now was enough to kill herself for losing protection.

Sariel is troubled.

Should I give up Leki's body or not?

If I had been an apostle, I could have thrown my life in peace to accomplish my mission. There is no hesitation or regret there. Dragon King Garvinal has succeeded in defeating it that way.

But Sariel already understands. He said that he had no more duties to fulfill, and no god to fulfill.

Now my life is mine alone. No one else is going to take orders.

"Look, I'll keep you alive. Don't die on your own."

No. Reminds me that I still have the mission I was charged with.

"... sorry, Leki"

Already, she turned into a monster already in front of me. I poke my hands forward, my blood running eyes at you for not being mad, and you fly like a beast.

Sariel didn't move off the spot, just, quietly shook up his sword. Put a special blow martial arts on that blade.

"- White Stream Gun (White Breath)"

For a moment, Sariel's eyes are stained with white. It had reached such a distance that the more he reached, that even Leki disappeared.

A white tornado that flows like rage. Sariel already knew that was intense life absorption (drain).

"... why did you shoot, Ursula"

Sariel slowly lowered his sword, which he never waved down, before asking. The most powerful move Ursula boasts, "White Gun (White Breath)," until you use it, what it means to have shot your best friend.

"It's okay, Sister Yuri... I'm sure this was something I had to do"

Sariel didn't really understand what Ursula meant. Why do we need to bear our sins ourselves? I wish I could push everything like that against this self, if not a human being, not even a god doll now.

"I, Leki... Leki..."

If it's so hard to overflow tears, why didn't you leave it to yourself?

"Ursula, you..."

I don't know what I was trying to say myself to Ursula walking over crying. But as it turned out, Saliel's words never spinned beyond.

Bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.

Such an enormous heavy bass came sounding at such a loud volume that it crushed the ground.

At that time, both Sariel and Ursula looked up to heaven and saw everyone gathered in this fortress of Alsace. And they see. Already, directly above the fortress, a giant, too giant, Gratney Octo is floating with a big mouth opening that leads to Naruto.
