Kuro no Maou

Episode 560: Grounds and Dragon Holes

The 5th of the month of Xinyang, after noon. We passed through the city springing up with a knight's selection and reached the great lighthouse of Serene, where the siege net of the chaossic riom was laid.

A wary Avalonian knight, wary of wariness like a battlefield, is put through as soon as he shows his quest requisition. The Spartan army is equipped with a red tone, but Avalon appears to be in white image color. Kind of like a crusader, I think.

If you look closely, they have armor helmets with different designs, so much so that they're not so similar.

There were also concerns about whether the Avalon army's siege net was just chronic enough to allow the tournament to take place, but as far as I can tell, it was strictly the object. I also saw that it stretched the line for escape prevention by an example earthmage (ground merge), and besides that, there were multiple stiff blockades, such as the line of light that physically prevented movement, like the walls.

Considering the fighting power of the chaossic rim, few are like poor general soldiers of equipment, even knights walking around in security, wearing armored helmets that protect their entire bodies. Perhaps only the elite are selected and mobilized.

What's more, we see the shadow of a dragon cavalry (dragoon) in the air so as not to allow forcible breakthroughs from the ground - what a look up, unexpectedly, one of the shadows flying overhead approached suddenly.

"Wait, there goes the Black Knight!

Basari, and Fei Long winged vigorously. The wind pressure rises intense earth and dust. We've landed just like that since the steep descent, so we've got a lot of momentum.

- Hey, what's all of a sudden?

"I feel a blackening evil (Vese) and I'm here. My (my) name is Christina. Avalon Nobility and Glorious First Dragon Cavalry (Dragoon Nights) 'Dragonheart' is Deputy Captain, Christina Damned Spiralhorn. WOW!!

I definitely look familiar in a stunning blonde vertical roll with a gobbly black full body armor (full plate armor) that flutters over the dragon. I mean, such a fancy person, yes, so unforgettable.

"You certainly have been intruding in The Curse Gladiator Games (Cars Carnival)..."

"Oh, you know me, Mr. Black Knight?

Speaking of which, you can't tell your face because you keep your helmet on.

After I defeated Sayid, the devil's eye of the curse at the Curse Gladiator Games (Cars Carnival), Nell treated me with my right arm. Now exit, so it's possible that I won't be remembered if I look at my face because it was just a face-to-face chase back by Nell on a fast track.

"Helmet Liberation (Head Purge)"

"Hmmm!? And that face..."

"Remember me?"

"Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker) Huh!!

"Call me by name."

I thought I'd gotten used to that hatred, but I was just rethinking that Will and Falcius gave it to me, after seeing the painting painted in my super nasty Berserker image, I knew I didn't have it.

"Well, if you look closely, you're the witch of the 'Element Master', Fiona Soleil. Besides, behind you..."

"What, you know your face?

"I was caught in the Galahad War, too."

Speaking of which, the reinforcements from Avalon were the Dragon Knights. Was it the Knights to whom she belonged?

"Are you listening to me?

"Of course. You have no more right to speak to me than His Majesty has acknowledged."

"That doesn't sound like you're wacky that I've been following you around about Sariel."

It is a little reassuring. This is Avalon, not Sparda, so even if you rub it, you're not smart on your face. Saliel relations in particular can be as big a problem as the state gets involved. Without King Leonhardt's back shield, my position would be in jeopardy.

"But seriously, what can I do for you"

There are no verses that come to mind for me.

"Ha! You did. Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker), what you're wearing is not..." Tyrant Armor (Maximilian) "Yikes!

So call me by name.

"Sure, this is' Tyrant Armor (Maximilian) ', but what's wrong with that?

"Oh, whoo! Oh, my God, the finest cursed armor that Uncle Vissendorf possesses... that's why it's on you!

"I got it from Moldred, I mean, I bought it. Two hundred million clans."

"No, no! I regret it, I regret it! I wanted one too. No!!

Miss Christina bites off a white handkerchief and reveals her remorse, like a girl cartoon villain warrant. This guy, he's a serious blonde vertical roll, so he doesn't look good. Unexpectedly impressive, the atmosphere is superb.

"Maybe you're a curse weapon maniac?

"I don't have to be a maniac. Wow! Because sooner or later, I'll be a great collector enough to give this Avalon two names: The Cursed Queen!

Anyone who makes spreading unpleasant hatred a goal in their life is a bit...

"Yes, just like you."

"No, I'm not a maniac... well, I don't deny what I'm collecting"

'Cause you're strong. Once I use it, I can't let go of it anymore. It is such a level of strength and comfort to use. Above all, if you keep using it, you'll get attached too. They're all cute, good kids.

"So you care so much about this' Tyrant Armor (Maximilian) '?

"Of course! The armor has never been used by anyone before, the ultimate dish… I couldn't help but see what kind of person the person dealing with it was."

I see, so you're wacky that it literally flew away.

"Have you convinced me?

"I know the battle in the Galahad War. This is a brilliant battle effort, shameless of two names: The Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker). And now, wearing" The Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian), "you have to admit, if you look flat."

Thanks for that one.

Now you don't deserve that armor! It's a duel! Or so I thought, what would I do? For once, this man seems aristocratic, and it will be difficult to properly reveal it.

"'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)' is good armor. Until now, I may have just been decorated with care, but from now on, I'm going to have all the performance pulled out and fought... but I haven't been able to handle him yet, either."

"What a lovely thing not to know the bottom of strength"

A lady with thoughts about the uttering and the strength of the curse. You really like it. Often, I've never been crazy about a curse before.

"Well, that's wacky, so we're already on our way."

"Ah, wait! Just a little bit, let me touch that armor!

"Eh."

I'm touching it.

"By the time they were on display in Uncle Borderline's treasure trove, they were kept under strict control, untouchable one finger. I even dreamed of" The Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian) "... I've wanted to touch it ever since I was a kid!

I didn't know you looked at him as a kid and admired him. That's muscular. Well, if I look at the armor of this disastrous motif, I'll say, "Wow, how cool is that?!?" Though I would have been obsessed. I preferred the villain to the hero.

So, if I were you ten years ago, if I saw who I am now, I'd probably fill my chest with hope for the future in what I look too cool. Actually, it's just painful.

"Okay, if that's it, maybe a little bit."

"Thank you!

As someone who wouldn't be able to say no even to dreams from a very young age. Besides, now that you're controlling the curse, it's safe for anyone to touch it, and it doesn't diminish anything.

"... Mr. Chrono, is that okay?

"Forgive me for this. It's like a homosexual."

Fiona is giving it a somewhat unsatisfactory vibe there, but it doesn't even seem to be enough to be so strongly rejected.

As a lover, after hanging out with Fiona for the past three months or so, I realized that she was as jealous of the crowd as I was of the boulder. I don't seem very concerned about this Te thing, Fiona, but I can imagine that if I were to blatantly fall in love with other beauties and beautiful girls, I would normally be offended.

Well, Christina's not a wacko who's getting close to being attracted to herself, so that means she doesn't have to be jealous either.

"Oh, my God, it's dark and heavy... I can feel no stops, I can feel the curse"

Cristina, who went down from Fei Long and came all the way before me, has no heart or haha. I admire it, so I can't get excited.

I went down from Merry for now so I could make it easy for you to touch me too.

Once again before Christina, contrary to her heavy armored appearance, she realizes other small things besides her thoughts. About a little taller than Sariel.

"Look, Touch Anywhere You Want - Helmet Attachment (Head-on)"

He wears his helmet again and my body is completely covered in armor. The present condition, if falsely touched the groin, is inhibited by armor and does not feel anything physically. It is literally a fine state wherever it is touched.

Even so, it would be enough to pet the chest armor at best.

"Ko, this... I don't build up patience. Wow!!

"Whew!? Hey, hey!?

Gakeen! The sound of metal bumping into each other sounds. Instead of touching it, Christina embraced it.

My armor, her armor, black armor very similar to each other, hits hard. There's a little spark here.

"This feeling!? Again, armor of genuine dark matter (Full Dark Matter)! This color, luster, how hard and successful, is so beautiful!!

"Why are you holding me! Just get away from me!"

"... Mr. Chrono"

A display of the helmet lights up a danger warning (red alert) with bright red ancient lettering that shines bikingly. Only vain and dangerous, sheep and miriah, only at times like this are not good enough.

"What does this mean?"

Thank you. I want to know. But I don't have the courage to go the other way, and I don't have the ruthlessness to poke Christina mercilessly here.

So in the end, I had nothing better to say than this.

"Wait, Fiona! No, this is a misunderstanding."

"Phew, boy..."

And so on, I start setting up the camp, playing the best I can afford.

Cristina, who was the culprit of the problem, left that place untouched and returned to aerial alert. Fiona and Sariel are heading out to investigate and gather information about the perimeter of the Great Lighthouse. I'm the only one left who's ready.

The attack on Chaossic Lim is eleven days, so we have to spend five more days here. Well, this isn't the depths of a secluded dungeon, so it's much easier than normal camping. With Avalon troops stationed, we don't need to be alert to monster raids ourselves, and supplies are readily available. The city is also close, so Serene merchants come and go in quite a few people. You'll get booze and a woman if you want it. Of course, I can't buy a woman for jokes. On one side, it's going to be a sea of fire.

"... Fiona's a little scared when she does that."

Fiona is scared when she gets angry. I've known that for a long time, but it's only recently that I learned how to be angry when I've pissed you off for reasons that make you look like a lover.

Yes, when I was tightening Sariel's collar.

That's what I thought. I see, when Fiona suspects me of cheating, I wonder if this will happen. Both that Sariel collar incident and this Christina Embrace Terror have the same roots.

Speaking of how Fiona gets angry when that happens... you attack.

That's not to say that kicking into cursing murmurs, assault, and the magic of flames using even more immense firepower -. Fiona doesn't act aggressively against me. Friendly fire, though.

Anyway, Fiona's attacking me, well, in a sexual sense, or something... earlier, at the same time pulling Christina off, she was about to push me down as it was.

I don't even want to go to a place like this on a boulder, so I managed to do something about it earlier and got nothing.

But when I was Sariel, I didn't even go that wacky. Too much momentum pushed me off and kept me on the couch in the living room...... well, I could have screamed for Sariel to leave the room at the right place, so I never softened him in front of me. Or you can read the air and get out of here.

"Ha..."

Anyway, Fiona is horrible at that time. Anyway, I can't say no when I'm pressed so hard. I can't resist, should I?

You don't have to tell me you're angry, you're jealous. But I don't know, there's something else I feel. Desperate not to let me go, it feels like... well, maybe it's just a mistake, but still, if I feel that way, I can't, like, pop and refuse anymore.

Or maybe I'm afraid to do so. If you refuse with strength, will Fiona, too, be gone like Lily? Such a pitiful fear.

"You're the only one I love, I'll never let you go... I wish I could say that cool"

To put that seriously, it's too difficult for me to be a novice in love. What a pity I can't tell you well, I can't get rid of her anxiety.

- I'm home.

I guess it's been quite a while since I've been grumpy and troubled about romance. Fiona and Saliel are back.

Once the romantic feelings float, leave them aside and I'll get back to Fiona and ask her seriously.

"So, how'd it go? Anything unusual?"

"The neighborhood was clean and the monsters were exterminated, and the security posture looked complete. After all, the chaossic rim appears to be cornered on the top floor of the Great Lighthouse, with no particular anomalies. Just one thing that bothers me"

"What?"

"This large lighthouse in Serene appears to be built directly above the Dragon Hole"

"Did Dragon Hole mean the confluence of the earth's veins?"

In this world there is something called the earth vein, which is the passage of magic. If the star itself were to be a single life form, the ground vein would be like a blood vessel or a nerve.

The earth pulse runs endlessly across the earth, and the places through which it passes have a density of magic compared to nowhere else. If the pulse is thicker, it becomes denser, and furthermore, the point where multiple pulses meet becomes a tremendous magic density.

The meeting point is called the Dragon Hole.

From ancient times, it is known as the Dragon Hole and called the "Dragon Hole", considering that powerful dragons inhabit special points filled with immense magic. In fact, it is confirmed that dragons, or equivalent powerful monsters, still live in dragon holes famous in the Pandora continent.

Overflowing magic can be a very special environment. In particular, giant dragon holes are treated as special places, sometimes called sanctuaries and sanctuaries, etc., in some regions.

In fact, they also dare to choose dragon holes where the capitals of urban states such as Sparda and Avalon are located. The Dragon Hole is like a kind of power spot, so it flourishes when you make it into a city, and it's famous.

Well, it's all for sale in seminary class.

"Is the dragon hole here that big?

"No, not on a big scale, is it? It feels like it's dried up a little bit from ancient times to modern times."

Wouldn't it disappear in a millennium or so, Fiona says shilledly about her spectacular future forecast?

The ground vein and dragon hole are not immutable. He says it's fluid and keeps changing, as if the stars are really alive. So it seems common for ground veins to flow and stop, dragon holes to form and disappear. Though a boulder, a thick vein or a large dragon hole, doesn't seem to change after a thousand years.

"There doesn't seem to be any bias in the attributes either, and I don't think it will affect anything in particular"

"Oh, I'd be in trouble if they absorbed the magic of the flames and empowered me or something"

The magic carried by ground veins is not constant, and there is often a bias in primary color magic. In volcanic areas, the primary color magic of the flames feels like water for large lakes and rivers and soil for vast deserts. Even for me, I can feel the vast ice attribute range of the Asbel Mountains because I've been there, and most importantly, so can the Fountain of Light.

Perhaps that was a dragon hole where the pulse of light attributes gathered. That is the effect of the loss of the 'Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)', which disappeared with the protection of the Fairy Queen... No, the very existence of the Dragon Hole may have been the protection of the Fairy Queen.

"The magic here is only used by the Avalon army in the development of the bonds, etc."

"Don't you have to worry,"

For now, let's remember it as one piece of information.

Unfortunately, we cannot use the magic of the Earth's veins to imitate each other. Because you either have a special ritual to pull this off, or you wouldn't benefit from it if you hadn't adapted to Sole from the start, like Lily did.

"So, Mr. Chrono, it's time for lunch"

"I think it's a little early... well, okay. I'm ready, and I can cook right away."

In the meantime, I hope you stay safe until 11 days. As always, I looked up at the big lighthouse, glistening high and high with a thin Moyan-like anxiety.
