Kuro no Maou

"- Welcome to my fairy garden"

Ahead of diving the main entrance of the Divine Extinction Realm Avalon, the flower gardens as far as I could see were stretched out.

What greeted me was the queen of fairies, with three glowing pairs of feathers.

"Once again, it is an honor to entrust you with your prayer, Your Majesty the Queen of England"

At first glance, I can see that this is the goddess all fairies believe in. For the second time, even if you don't look at your face, the signs alone are enough to see who you are.

Apparently, I was once again invited to the world of God, where Fairy Queen Iris lives.

"This isn't a very powerful place for me, so I don't have time to talk to you slowly this time...... sorry"

No, I only respond one word and wait for the Queen's words.

In the real world, I just stepped into the Rank 5 dungeon, God's Destroyed Realm Avalon, so I guess my connection to God is weak.

"Lily, you're about to reach true love now."

It was a more joyful expression than I had seen before.

"Oh, great. It's amazing. After a thousand years of waiting, not a single one came to this truth... let's admit, you deserve it"

"What does qualification mean"

"He who succeeds me. He will be the rightful heir to the throne, Fairy Princess."

When you spread your hands and three pairs of feathers and say it out, the petals dance together from the blooming flowers with a sparkling glow. Blessings of the goddess, by the storm of China.

"Come on, my darling daughter, Lily, try the trials"

"The Trial of God, is it"

"No, it's a test of love"

One step, the queen approaches me. That face I looked up to, a smile filled with mercy everywhere. Even fairies who do not know the existence of a parent will understand what 'mother' is when they see its face.

Same for me, too.

This guy understands everything about me. This one forgives me for everything.

Oh, I guess this is what God's, no, mother's love, is all about. Unlike intense romantic emotions that burn out your soul, remember warm tranquillity, dear love.

"Be united with your beloved"

My one and only wish.

"No one gets in the way, no one intervenes"

A resolute and strong will to make a wish come true.

"It's just that you and your loved ones, we're going to be happy - with any hand,"

I'm ready, I've made up my mind.

"That's how I became God. In the happiness that lasts forever, you too, I'm sure -"

The sign of God felt close begins to turn away rapidly. Something like out of time here? Until the end of the dialogue, I can't hear you.

But it passed on enough.

Of Fairy Queen Iris, as God, as Mother, everything you want from me...

"...... eh"

When I woke up, there was a huge black stone city in front of me and a sky burning bright red like purgatory. Right, is this the capital of the legendary Elro-Do Empire, Avalon?

The sight of the most flourishing ancient streets remaining intact is rolling, but now I don't have time to observe it closely.

"Welcome back, Lily"

Right under my ear, I heard my voice.

Drifting like a ghost by my side is a collection of bright red auras, imitating me as a young man.

"Right now... what you said seems to have been true. Blessed is the Fairy Queen Iris."

"Yeah, right, you're right about Lily!

"Oh, I'm sorry, but can you stop using people's names on your own?"

"Why not? Lily is Lily."

"Ugh, that's enough. I'm going to call you Ray."

"Ray? Why?

"Because you're Envy Ray."

With such a surprised look, it's solidified. No, I wonder if I, the kid, would have shown such a dumb face to Chrono.

"Damn, I knew it!

"A monster of abominable evil spirits (ghosts), nestled in a man's soul"

The one within the monster of the trials, Chrono searches for.

From what I've looked into at Sparda's Adventurer Guild headquarters, there wasn't much information, but enough to convince me this kid was sole.

It is very similar to Slowsgill in terms of being possessed by people, so to speak, parasitic. However, Slowsgill takes over the brain completely and dominates the flesh, whereas Envy Ray guides and transforms the will of the person by possessing it for the soul and whispering it to the heart of man.

It mainly amplifies feelings of jealousy and provokes those who take possession.

Sometimes it is easy to understand, repeating unusual words and actions, and sometimes the appearance continues to lead a daily life with calm in place, and the way it goes crazy varies.

Even if it was crazy, it never moves the host on Envy Ray's own initiative, and the fact that it remains only the body and mind in person makes the discovery of this monster remarkably difficult.

Is Envy Ray a real monster in the first place? Actually, isn't it just a heart disease common to madmen? There is such a theory, even uncertain of existence, a truly ghostly monster. But if it truly exists, it is nothing more than an evil evil spirit that undisputed and leads man's heart to confusion, madness and ruin.

"But I am grateful to you. Because it made me realize what's important."

To Ray, who smiles like he's reopened, I smile.

"That's not true. Lily would have noticed it by herself."

"Yeah, but it took a while. It took awesome, awesome, long time... it was too late for everything"

So this gratitude is real.

If Ray doesn't show up, you have no idea how much time I really had until I realized true love. Ten years, a hundred years, or... but there's no point in that assumption. I realized 'now'.

"I hope you possess me until you feel better."

"Thanks! You're with Lily!

"Tentative power... but now I feel like I can finally be who I really am"

I can now remain true without any conditions or constraints. From that little, round toddler, slurries, hands and feet stretch, and his face grows, to the appearance of a girl.

With Ray taking possession, he's empowering me. That's just like using the power of 'The Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)'... no, its magical quality is far different because it doesn't overload your body at all and you can keep this look. That would mean Ray is deeply linked to my soul.

The magic she supplies is well tamed, as if it were her own blood.

Yes, the Great Magic Fixture (artifact) of the Fairy Queen, who took it out of this Fountain of Light and has always been my strength and support, may have played a final role by producing Envy Ray. A gift from my mother to my daughter, though.

Oh, thank you so much, Fairy Queen Iris. Now I know, what was' Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl) '?

That's not just a big magic crystal. Neither is it a natural ore, nor a gem refined with ancient technology.

Blood.

Pure blood crystals, created with the blood of women with an uninterrupted resentment of jealousy.

How much living blood, on earth, will it be so big, so hard, so much? A purely dirty mass of blood became the birth of Envy Ray, a half-natured consequence.

Such a 'red crystal sphere (Queen Beryl)' must have been a testament to love, completed by the fairy queen still, when she was one fairy, Iris, by giving her numerous lovers a blood festival.

"Ugh, I have to work hard too"

You can't beat the fairy Iris, can you?

"But be careful, Lily. This is God's Endangered Realm Avalon."

"It's a test to be a princess, of course it's hard."

Perhaps it was not Envy Ray, but Fairy Queen Iris, who led me here with metastatic magic. My love is tested in this Pandora's most difficult dungeon.

"Just jerking off, it's not sweet enough to do something about it"

"I know, it's no big deal for me to be alone. But I'm not alone."

"Because Ray's with you?

"Because I am one more heart and one heart, I am nothing but a power for one"

"So who else is there?

You look stubborn. I wonder if you really don't understand. If so, I have to teach you well.

"There's Chrono here."

Put your hands together, and your loved ones will show up there - part of it, to be exact.

It is now the Great Magic Fixture (artifact), named "Black No-Eye Ball (Yville Eye)".

"It's just an eyeball."

"Yes, it's just an eyeball... but it's a Chrono eyeball. So this is also Chrono."

Hey, I don't know what you're talking about, Ray with a face like that. Speaking of which, you're just born, so maybe it's a hard story to understand.

But this is important.

"Chrono is always nice to me."

Because it's very important.

"Always, you help me"

Very, very important.

"Always, fill me up"

What does it mean to love people?

"With Chrono, we can do anything. If you're with Chrono, you're not afraid of anything. Chrono always helps me."

I'll tell you.

"So, you see, even now, Chrono is - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

This is about loving people.

"Wow, ah... Lily, my eyes..."

Eyes. My left eye, it's gone.

I made my own decision. Thoughtful, stick your finger in it.

I was a little anxious, but if you try, there's no such thing. It was cleaner than I thought. On my right hand, a cologne and a bloody eyeball roll.

"Ha... ha... heh, I don't need this anymore..."

There's nothing untrained, throw it away. Give me your eyeballs.

"Oh, what a waste!

As Ray picked up the treat he dropped on the ground, he grabbed my eyeballs and ate them as they were. Fine, if you want it, I'll give it to you.

"I have Chrono... Chrono is on me... with me, now, even if I'm away, all the time, because I'm with you... whoa, whoa, whoa!

Chrono comes in. In me, I'm coming in.

An orbit that can be pushed and spread so as to raise the gizzard and crease. I forced myself to screw the grabbed "Black No-Eye Ball (Yville Eye)," Chrono's left eye.

"Ah, um... I'm in"

Ha, good. It was a little painful, but it's all right, I'm in, Chrono.

"Wow! Awesome, Lily! Can you see it?"

"I can see you."

Good vision. Good view. With Ray's young face asking me in such a way as to round my eyes and be intrigued - Fiona, you have your face.

"You did it... but all this time, it's my loss, Fiona"

Her figure, with a small indoor light lamp in her hand and a closed door behind her back, is blurring out in the dark. This is Chrono's room. Yeah, it's me and Chrono's room.

The sight appears in my (Chrono) left eye.

"Because I was weak. Because I didn't love you..."

Bold outfit. Sketchy negligee with a remarkable area of black underwear.

The boulder, Chrono, is often eye-catching at night, so you can clearly see Fiona's glossy figure, which even from a woman, is fascinating.

So my gaze quickly strayed towards the wall. What a beginner reaction.

So, Chrono, I'm sure you didn't notice. Fiona, I'm so in love right now. I wonder if you'd say that your eyes would be a heartmark.

"Fine, now, I'll give you the chrono"

Punishment for myself. No, this is also part of the love test.

Whether it's hard or painful, there are times when you have to endure. That's another side of love. It's just beautiful, it feels good, it's not love.

"It's okay now. I can stand it... because I believe in Chrono"

Because I love Chrono.

Because Chrono will love you.

"Heh, heh, heh - I feel it, Chrono's power."

Close your eyes and you'll see. My power as dazzling and glowing as the sun. Dark forces, like black, dark, gushing up from the bottom of Naruto, to contradict it.

I'm connected to Chrono now. So...

"Hey, Lily! Oh, my God!

"What, you're loud. It's a good place."

"It's a monster!

I am watered by the power of Chrono that I feel in my soul, and I reluctantly, when I open my eyes...... I see, a monster does appear.

Through the giant main entrance, it is a large square. This structure is the same as the current urban state Avalon. Or maybe he looked here and imitated it.

From across that square, Gashangashan, and the knights dressed in black armor walk in high pitched iron footsteps. From the signs, everyone, undead.

But it is also like a real knight on a tour of the city to make a neat and undisturbed march. In fact, were you originally a knight?

"I'm bawling around here, so they found me"

The ancient city of Avalon has a particularly tight security net by the Knights of Elroad, who continue to live today. The first thing you need to be aware of when attacking this dungeon is how to infiltrate the knight without finding it.

Such basic information came naturally to my ears when I visited Avalon before. If this were to happen, I would have done some more research then.

"We need to get out of here!

"Ugh, you don't have to be afraid. Because to me..."

There were just ten knights who showed up. Typical armor, with spears and swords. The black painted armor helmet covers the entire body, and the skeletal body that would be in it is invisible.

When you stop the march in front of me, now line up side-by-side with the unevenness. Out of that, more than one head minute is big, especially only the big knight, out front.

Is it the captain? His wrapped armor is heavier than the rest of the crew's and has different designs. Feathered with a crimson cloak, instead of a spear in his hand, a pitch-black hammer was grasped.

Strong. Not only in appearance, but also in the intense signs of magic felt on the skin, easily detectable. It should be seen as a pretty high undead.

"- Because it has chrono"

No word of warning, just a silent walking over, the captain knight stood as grand as a black wall before me, and shook up the hammer.

But I don't feel like a crisis. Not even the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field) is necessary. So I, just one word, it was enough to say it.

"'Queen of Fire (Overdrive)'"
