Kuro no Maou

"Hey, my God..."

The dazzling light subsides and I open my eyes to see what's going on around me, lucky I'm still alive.

So the first thing that popped into my eyes was the trail of destruction that leads in a straight line all the way to the other side. The grass trees evaporate, and the earth is profoundly decided. From around the middle belly of the mountain, a band of reddish dirt and sand about ten metres wide was stretched.

This is all a sight created by a magic cannon released from the great lighthouse of Serene.

"That was very powerful."

Saying it like some other HR next door, Fiona. You're absolutely right. So much so that my 'Charged Particle Dragon Cannon (Plasma Brace)' seems like a bean cannon. The beam was tens of times thicker, and super-range enough to reach the horizon.

You can tap out so much power with just a little bit of natural magic (chicara), so really, it makes you feel like a person's dwarf.

"In the meantime, I'm glad we're all safe"

"The landing point of the Magic Cannon comes just from the point where the Avalon army is letting its boundaries unfold. Deploying around the lighthouse, we're intact."

Round and calm than Fiona, Sariel says.

I was fortunate enough to be close enough to step right into the big lighthouse. The beam's launch point is about a hundred meters above ground, on the heavenly edge of the Great Lighthouse. It's not built to shoot a boulder right off your feet.

"But you broke the line beautifully."

By chance, I don't think so. If you're a chaossic rim who restarted an ancient cannon, you must have set your aim firmly in order to open the breakthroughs needed to escape.

The polar plasma beam was sweeping away and extinguishing without trace the wide-area junction, its central massive magic formation and the ritual altar where the magician troops gathered. The Avalon army is devastated. Because a brilliant army of magicians evaporated a whole bunch of expensive ritual devices, catalysts, etc.

But not if you're mourning the size of what you've lost now.

GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

A huge black shadow pops out of the lighthouse with such a huge roar that it rocks the mountain. Full, Chaosic Lim descended to the ground to break through the siege of the Knights.

"- Chip, can't you aim from here?"

Me and Fiona set up guns and canes so that we could strike the magic of the attack quickly, but the location where the chaossic rim descended will be just the shadow of the Great Lighthouse.

Already, I can see the explosions and blinks of light that sporadically burst with attack magic, but I wouldn't be able to stop him from walking to that extent.

"Hurry up and go after him!

Can we let him get away here? I had a stronger sense of crisis when he attacked the city of Serene than that thought.

Chaossic Lim released a one-shot reversal cannon, but as a tsuke he has caged so far, he will have been attacked by considerable hunger. It is only an all-you-can-eat feeding ground with helpless prey, such as a city where hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people gather in one place.

How many men will he eat before Avalon's elite army gathers at the Great Lighthouse turns back to Serene? I feel dizzy in my imagination.

"Come on! Merry!!

With no heavy bass that rocks your soul, a pitch-black immortal horse (Nightmare) emerges from the woods with momentum as if it had come from the abyss of hell.

It's a shame for a second now. Without stopping Mary's leg, he grabs the reins and jumps straight on. Exquisite timing. That, too, only slowed me down slightly for a moment when I rode, only because of her care. It's a really good horse.

"Ha ha!

That's how I ran Mary in the same momentum as rolling down the mountain path, chasing Chaossic Lim's back as I ran through the traces of the shelling in a straight line.

"... damn, that Yarrow, his feet are fast"

Mary steps on, jumps over, and rushes through without being a slight obstacle or anything, but the distance from the chaossic rim doesn't quite shrink.

Think of it, he boasted considerable travel speeds that did not suit the giant, showing up as if he had descended and sprung without sound at the point of larspun, or even if he suffered a serious injury that cut off his right arm, he could escape with just a few moments of gap. If the base is that flesh, its amazing motor ability also survives.

Chaosic limbs that go the earth with four legs like beasts continue to run with cheetah-like agility. No matter how many indestructible staminas an immortal horse boasts, I don't feel like catching up.

"- That's it. Wow! Resurrected from Hell, King of Abominable Chaos Warcraft (Chaossic Lim)!!

Sounds soaring, on the front porch of a very similar artistic style to someone else.

There was someone here who could catch up so sparingly with chaossic rims that showed unmatched speed.

"Chris' Dragon Knight Squad! He was really a deputy captain."

Flying over your head is the silhouette of a successful flying dragon (Wyburn) representing the champion of the sky. Chris said hard, "My Celinutius is a black dragon. Wow!! He insists," I don't care how you look at it, lead her with a brown scale, with an arrow-like flying formation with bureaucratic planes spreading to the left and right, moving closer and closer to the chaotic rim that runs through the ground.

No matter how fast your legs are, you have to be more affected by that terrain than you are running on the ground. Even if it runs in a straight line, the distance for it increases if there are ups and downs. And no matter how many monster-like giants chaossic rims you boast, you have to avoid cutting cliffs and other minimal obstacles.

But as a matter of course, there is no obstacle in the sky. If you're just a flying dragon (Wyburn) boasting fast flying speeds on top of being able to go straight the shortest distance, you can't possibly catch up. As Chris was also saying, the Dragon Knight Squad was stationed for times like this. Now it's their turn.

In addition to Chris' troops, I can confirm the formation of multiple Dragon Knights. The dragon knights quickly complete the siege over his head, as long as he doesn't allow any more escape to the chaotic limb that keeps him on the run.

All right, if you let the attack magic unilaterally be showered from above your head like this, then his legs will stop. Later, if you can keep shooting, you can do whatever you want with the assault (charge).

Hey, it's not my turn as it is, and Chris and the others are taking care of me - what a sweet thought it is.

From the back of the chaossic rim, pitch-black wings grow in Russia.

"No way, you can fly!?

No way, it wasn't.

Indeed, the grown black wings fly on the spot with powerful wings unbeatable by the dragon. Leaving the main body, the chaossic rim, on the ground, with its wings alone - no, the sole was a bird. Huge bird figure, if more precisely, eagle.

And I feel terribly nostalgic for that silhouette. Because I've only seen that shape once before.

"The body for Garuda... the guy who ate in the Parthian meadow"

The garuda he twisted out, whose black identity was sand and iron, peers through moving parts such as the base of the wings and the joints of the feet, a thin and radiant water color.

Anyway, it's just a bad prediction.

Chaossic Lim was really absorbing that ability by eating the nucleus (core) of Pride Gems he had taken from me. The main body of the garuda consists of a slime-like liquid, coated with its own sand iron to strengthen it. Besides, the copies of Pride Gems were made in bulk, but the copied garuda made of chaossic rims is quite exquisite. It is just as complete as it looks authentic.

The winged, pitch-black eagle was making bees and spark sounds by letting purple electricity all over his body instead of the characteristic ringing.

Huge minutes body with ability to fly. With sand iron armor and thunder attributes Omake.

Worst of all, chaossic rims were producing such mons from their backs one after the other.

"Damn!? Spread out! You mustn't come near me!

As the Dragon Knight unleashes the offensive magic of flame-centric traction, it scatters left and right to escape from the body for a minute of garuda that emits signs of dangerous electric shock that is not just possible if it comes into contact. Concentrated and sloppy bombardments scatter in all directions and are not enough firepower to impede the disease of the chaossic rim.

The sky is already in turmoil by dozens of split garudas and dragon knights. In case the Dragon Knight Troops won't be wiped out altogether, but still, I can't move for a while now.

In the end, I was the only one chasing after Chaossic Lim.

But there's a definite difference in speed between me and him. If we keep this up, he'll be totally shaken off, which I'm sure he knows.

Still, did you think of putting out the ordeal, or was it just a molestation? He turned around with chillies and took a mockery look that hoisted his fierce mouth, while rolling out his body for a new minute.

"Now you're Partier's Bow Cavalry!

Just as I create tentacles, when a clear blue jelly mass from the back of the chaossic rim is twisted out with a foul movement with the urn, it stays separate. He falls to the ground, rolls as he moves, but swells up and takes a clear shape while he sees it between two and three turns.

If you notice, your upper body was human, and your lower body was transformed into a Centaur figure with a horse's body. Carefully, the short bow on the left hand side and the armor helmet worn are well reproduced in detail. Finally, the sand iron, which the chaossic limb would have scattered, covered the entire body of the split centaur like a storm, and turned it into a black iron armor that defended itself.

That's how close to twenty bodies are created. The False Bow Cavalry unit stood in front of me with a side-by-side formation.

"Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts)!

If you're going to shoot with a long-range attack, this is the only way. I quickly pull The Grid out of Shadow Space (Shadowgate) and pull the trigger.

The opposing split centaur shoots the arrows formed by cementing the sand iron in a sharp, squeezed bow.

Crossing black bullets and black arrows.

Even if the difference in number of people is one to twenty, the difference in continuous firing performance is more than a hundred times greater.

Smash your body for being in the front while releasing The Greed with all your strength. Frontal breakthroughs at once, with one quick fired arrow after another - but those who wait ahead realize that it is the unleashed destiny of the chaossic rim.

A big black shield wall, standing in front of you. A large, circular round shield lines up neatly, with sharp spears popping out of the gap. It was a brilliant dense formation (Faranx) in which each other sheltered each other and intercepted cavalry assaults directly from the front with their numbers and courage.

"Sparda's heavy infantry!

Leaving aside the fact that it is stained black by sand iron, the figure is that of the first squad "Braveheart" crew members themselves seen in the Galahad War. It did not differ in the appearance of a heavily armed infantry, regarded as the best elite knight in Sparda.

It's called Partier's Bow Cavalry, it's called Sparda's Heavy Infantry, and apparently Chaossic Lim can also create an accurate memory and copy of people's armies based on an understanding of their properties. That bastard, isn't there someone in there... such a vice over cunning that we should now focus on how to break through this vicious Phalanx.

Fortunately, they're equal in size. Me and Mary, at a height that you can't jump over if you jump out of your mind - and from behind the soldiers in the front row standing in line, Jackin Jackin and a long spear grow one after the other. The tips, which are raised at diagonal angles at equal intervals, end up perpendicular and the spear literally forests.

Apparently, he had created a solid second, third, and beyond.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You can't jump into a boulder if you make a big one this far.

He hastily pulled the reins and stopped suddenly. While Mary braked sharply so that the gully and stiff hooves would determine the ground, about to be thrown out halfway through, I managed to stop just before I collided head-on with the wax.

Now, even if we can prevent accidents jumping into countless spears ourselves, what should we do with this split sparda soldier? Even they're not just figurines. Everyone has taken a step in alignment, even though there is no captain's decree.

This way, Sole waved when he decided he knew it was a stumbling block, but nothing more than dealing with him.

"-" Fiery Spear (Gay Borg) ""

Spears, even if it was named, it was substance, thunder. Just like a real thunder that occurs naturally, it leaves a glimmer of thunder and falls to the ground. That's dozens, hundreds and all at the same time. As thunder struck against the backdrop of the blue sky as it exited, the word "sunny thunderbolt" was literally used only in its meaning.

"Sariel!

If you look up, one pegasus silhouette, reflecting the sun's backlight.

In a steep descent that fell upside down, Saliel drove through Siro in Pegasus forced his way into the middle of Faranx.

The impact of the landing, or some kind of martial arts revelation? d As the soot smoke rises more intensely, many bodies blow up and roll in as false heavily armed infantry scatters between the gobble and the flesh of sand iron and slime.

"Master, leave this place to me and follow the chaossic rim"

Across the sunny side of the earth smoke stood dignified and Saliel, carrying a pitch-black cross spear, prompted me to move forward. All I'm saying is, all the guys that were deploying right in front of me have been slapped out of the path.

"Look, there's other copies all over the place."

I thought the chaossic rim was scattered and the shadow of the Copy Corps looks in all directions if I notice it. It's not only a heavily armed infantry in Centaur, it's a diverse figure of equipment.

"No problem. Soon the Avalon Army and other adventurers will also begin the battle on this occasion"

"Leave the stopping to them and hurry ahead. The chaossic rim is our prey."

From behind, Fiona across Marie also caught up.

Sure, there's no room for trouble here. Corner, we were able to move ahead of the others, so let's make the most of that advantage. I have trouble getting busted in the city, but I have trouble getting my chaossic limb sidelined.

"I asked for this place, Sariel. Let's go, Fiona!

"Yes, Mr. Chrono"

As Sariel lights a red and black thunderlight on the tip of the black cross, hitting each other with the divers who are moving to narrow the siege net again, I whip Mary again and run out with all my might.

From right in front of you, the novice gets stuck again soon, but the lightning strike that flew from behind makes a hole. Again, Sariel's cover is excellent. Leave it to him, and he won't have to worry about Centaur coming after us.

From then on, he runs through without ever stopping his legs as he kicks his body with my bullet and Fiona's fireball for mimicking the knights of the nations who appear dotted like fallen objects.

"You finally saw Serene."

"Mr. Chrono, is that, uh, a broken walls?

Fiona was right, the walls were stunningly crumbling, or shredded. Its collapse is that the walls are blown clean just in the range of about ten meters wide. Of course, there are decisive marks all the time on the ground.

The beam, apparently released from the great lighthouse of Serene, reaches all the way to the city of Serene, all over the city.

Looks like they pierced it.

"... that sounds awful."

Jump straight into the city from the collapsed walls and run on a beautiful cobbled road.

The mysterious shelling that suddenly struck the city has just led to a state of confusion as if the war had begun and the soldiers of the enemy countries had fallen into the city. The residents seem to have fled to the boulder and the area where the beam crept, and there's nothing wrong with me and Fiona going on horseback.

But only the noisy voices heard from the alley on the other side can see Serene's confusion. Soldiers defending the city may also have been alarmed because a large squad of elite men was heading out to Chaosic Lim. I doubt we'll be able to put this noise away early.

"Where's the chaossic rim?

"He's... probably in that direction"

Not as good as Sariel, but even my sixth sense isn't something I threw away. It's a monster as powerful as he is, and if you're in the middle of a huge outburst, you can grasp the signs even if it's quite a distance away.

"My eyes also reacted now. Definitely."

A sparkling red dot appears in my left eye, as if to assure me that my sign perception is a hit. As usual, it only glows once and disappears immediately, but it never looks different.

"Is that... is that the arena?"

When I got out to the big street, I could see clearly where he was. A huge circular building at one time sits at the end of a straight road. Serene Coliseum.

"Best of all, did you go into a place where people are dense"

Worst of all. Knight selection is a very popular event, so the arena is full. Tens of thousands of people are meeting together. From a hungry monster, you won't be able to stop salivating.

"Hurry up, now alone, I don't know how much more damage has been done"

I'm just a little anxious to try Chaossic Lim in the absence of Sariel, but I can't turn it into life. There are too many people over there who are too painful to abandon, even at some risk.

"... No, the only person who can go now and make it is Mr. Chrono. Look, the roof is starting to close."

I can't tell you if there's such a stupid thing going on, because I'm modern Japanese.

With the sound of gowns and gowns, only half the roof of the Serene Coliseum was slowly starting to close. A giant roof panel slides in a smooth motion, one by one, closing the open space.

Surprises are coming from the residents who, like us, have noticed the anomaly in the arena. Well, I'm surprised too... I see it's better to understand and be convinced that it was open and closed dome architecture.

In Japan, too, there is a dome where the roof can move to open or close. Was it Fukuoka?

I didn't know there was an architect in ancient times who thought the same thing. After all, humans, do you mean that everything you think is the same?

"That arena is ancient, so it's probably not easy to destroy if you close it. The chaossic limb will eat all the audience without anyone interrupting it and without being able to escape."

In Fiona's words, my thoughts are drawn back to brutal reality at once. Worst assumption. But we are talking about a tragic future that we will definitely visit as it is.

Tens of thousands of people are sacrificed to a single monster. And that's what I'm just looking at from the outside. My spine is so frizzy, I'm not talking about anywhere.

"Please don't go, Mr. Chrono"

"... I thought Fiona would stop me"

It's too dangerous for me to challenge the chaossic rim alone. Already, I lost once.

This is where we should wait for Saliel's arrival and, finally, for the backup of the Avalon army that has turned back, and get in full shape by the time he finishes his meal and comes out of the arena.

Fiona offered me the most reliable and secure proposal. Perfect operation, with no place to hit.

"But I'm sorry. I'm coming."

I can't abandon you. Not very much, but not abandoned by me.

The lives of over 10,000 people.

And most importantly, there must be, Nell and Kai, my friends.

"I thought Mr. Chrono would say that."

"That's a prospect."

"Because it's her."

Don't be hostile, I think from the bottom of my heart.

"Please go"

"Thanks, Fiona - Fast Manoeuvre Form (Afterburner) - Migration (Set)"

Down from Mary's back, at the same time, 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)' moves out as ordered. Sucking my magic into the gnaw, the fire enters the chaos host (Omega Drive), and the Spirit Propulsion (Elemental Booster) roars.

From what I can see, the roof of the arena is already not even ten meters vacant. Will it be about thirty seconds before the closure is complete?

But I can make it. If you 'fly' from here, you should be able to slide in.

Fifth protection, activated.

"-" Storm Demon King (Oversky) ""
