Kuro no Maou

Then, three times kicking the platoon stretched in the tunnel, Fiona's line rose to the ground again.

"Mr. Fiona, what are you doing?

"It's a note"

"Notes?"

For that matter, I didn't write anything.

Fiona brings a trademark witch's triangle hat in front of her face, and she looks odd like she's whispering and bumpy.

Do you keep track of the audio as it is, or do you even have rare magic equipment (magic items) that can be converted into letters? Inside the hat where the spatial magic (dimension) is applied, there is something hidden that seems to be taking note of it, so Nell doesn't know who it is.

"Now, if you leave any tactical information, you won't use it."

"Yeah, I'm not gonna use it, but for once, it's insurance"

"Huh."

Kill Lily, and that's your one-off offense. But if it comes to turning back on the way, well, I've never had tactical information at a stronghold.

In an odd way, but convinced of Fiona's behavior, nothing strange as an adventurer, Nell called out to Saliel, who was watching what was going on outside.

"What do you say?

"I feel multiple signs"

"Again, is that right? From here on out, the security of the knights gets tighter."

The place where the three of them left off was in the city, located east of the main entrance. The walls surrounding downtown the centre can be seen chilling across the brick building.

Beyond that wall, it is finally a dangerous zone where the Imperial Army can wait in earnest. If you're going to get on board, I'm definitely sorry if I'm not a trusted member enough to keep my own back... Lily's map is going to have to go halfway to this central city.

"First of all, you have to go beyond that city wall."

It is first and foremost a goal in front of us.

"The infiltration point is five blocks away."

"It's over. Okay, let's go."

After a brief recheck of the perimeter map, the three of them began to move on through the city of Avalon.

The first class of bandits is also well served by Saliel's ability to defend his enemies. Skillfully squeezes the eyes of the patrolling knight, steadily approaching his destination.

The minimum number of fights required. That, too, is a small number of guards around the city, so we can kill them instantly before they call for reinforcements. Even if there are four, if there is one Sariel, there will be a cat. If, due to terrain or standing position, it is not possible to catch a breath, there is also a backup of the nell. Only a few knights couldn't even give these two a whistle of reinforcement in front of them.

"… Dear Fiona, this is a report"

After a while Saliel stopped.

At least, there are no abnormalities around. Half way to your destination. Nell gets interested in what Sariel will say until he stops bothering.

"What is it?

"The security of the knight can be checked for regularity"

"Really?

It is Nell in the exact same mood as Fiona's inquiry. At least, I've never heard of that kind of information.

"The knight is constantly moving, while maintaining a constant distance. The error is about five meters. If the whistle goes off, reinforcements rush within thirty seconds. After a minute, even more so. In three minutes, they'll be completely besieged."

If the whistle goes off, how long will the reinforcements be coming? That sample has been validated for hundreds of years. Approximately, Sariel is right.

This is not the case with so many controlled moves and dungeons to be numbered. That's just it, it's a sufficient security system to get the adventurer back.

"If security routes are set at regular intervals, don't boulders know?

"It conceals regularity by combining multiple patterns. Perhaps measures to avoid being presumed routes"

"What are the patterns?

"I roughly confirm four types. At present, all four combinations determine the route. However, there may be more than five patterns."

"With the current pattern, can you guess the route?

"I can. If it works as you speculate, there will be zero likelihood of enemy contact in the future"

"Fine, let's guess the route and scratch security."

"If you read the route, you're treading, there's a chance of a trap."

"I don't mind, now proceed"

Copy that, Master Fiona.

Sariel, with permission, began walking quietly again as if nothing had happened.

"Do you believe what Sariel says?

Somewhere with a suspicious gaze, Nell says, flickering Sariel's little back.

Sariel affirms, you wouldn't even think that Nell is too little validation to determine the pattern of the security route.

If he hears from the side, Saliel almost only feels like he's saying it on account.

"I don't trust or trust Sariel, but I'm going to know what she's capable of. I fought once."

"But you've already lost the great power of protection called 'the Apostle', haven't you?

"Yeah, still she's strong. Because Sariel is the second woman I fear in this world."

It was Nell who I wouldn't dare ask who the best was.

Then, for a little while, the quiet march continues.

Yes, it was quiet.

"Got it."

"Apparently, Saliel's guess was clam"

He came to the next destination, the Knight's Stuff with the underground passage leading to the 21st Defensive Tower, without ever meeting the enemy.

"... right"

Nell stepped into the target knight's quarters, savoring a sense of mysterious defeat.

Apparently, he was lucky enough to break in at a time when the knight was mostly paying for it. There are no significant numbers inside, and the extermination is complete immediately. Although the somewhat complex internal structure, Nell's experience was brought to life and he smoothly descended the stairs to the underground passage.

Then kick the knight of the guard, placed almost equally spaced, each time - and if you notice, Nell was coming all the way to the door of the Twenty-first Defensive Tower, the final point of arrival at the last Avalon offense.

I spent almost a month at the student party until I got here. No matter how many times this time, it hasn't taken a day to arrive. It was incredible speed.

"It's narrow inside, so I'll leave the boss's Kingsguard to the two of you"

"Even though it's narrow, it's big enough to shoot magic and fight."

"You can burn me, if you want cover, I'll shoot you."

"There is no need for that, Master Fiona. Me and Nell will defeat the Kingsguard."

"What, hey, are you calling me off?

"Okay, please"

"Yes, Master Fiona"

Nell said something to Saliel, who can't even feel the shard of respect for the royal family, which makes him a constant forsaker. But Sariel, who doesn't mind at all, just opened the door to enter the boss battle.

Sellis' feelings at that time made Nell understand just a little bit.

"… is it the same, heavy knight (armor night) type as before"

Pushing in all sorts of grievances for now, Nell concentrates on the battle in front of him.

Waiting inside the tower was a giant heavy knight, equipped with a mace on a large shield, nestled in exactly the same shape as before.

Already once, the opponent you defeated. I don't feel like losing. If only it would take a little time, the extent to which one can defeat without risk, rather than being an enemy compatible with Nell, an old fashioned jujitsu war witch.

"The array is as good as it looks, very sturdy, and has strength and strength. The first thing we need to do is get rid of the shield and the mace, make sure it's safe."

"I'll be ahead."

Having no ears at all to listen to the offensive advice, Saliel just started the assault.

At the earliest, rather than being licking about Nell, he is just dumb as Kai and his brain are made of muscle, so much so that it is a lucid burst.

"If I get hurt anymore, I won't cure you. Hey!

I followed Sariel after one such vice, one beat late.

He's just a heavy knight sitting still like a stone statue, but if you step inside the tower, he'll react instantly.

It doesn't suit the giant and the heavy knight moves fast. Sariel also steps in at a considerable speed, rushing through to the middle of the hall as there is, into the midst of the heavy knight - but by then, Mace has already been shaken up.

Just at the tip of the mace you can smash Saliel, interception by perfect timing. It's just that even a blow of heavy, hard black steel is relentlessly beaten.

"... after all, you're good"

Let Saliel avoid Mace's blow without difficulty. You don't kill the speed of the assault, you run away to blur the attack range critical, as if you knew where Mace would be slapped beforehand.

Take it, don't play it, just see through the range being attacked and avoid it there with minimal movement. Simple, but therefore, difficult. Even if you are out of attack, it is common to avoid it at some leisure for safety reasons.

But Sariel is going through so critical a line that he seems to be going to hit himself as if it's futile to even break it off.

I don't want to imitate it a bit, Nell thought it was a fatalistic workaround.

"Phew."

And I heard little Saliel breathing.

After diving through the mace, flesh thins to a heavy knight proud enough to double himself.

But there are also heavy knights named Kingsguards. He shows a masterly reaction, pinching a wall-like large shield (tower silhouette) between him and the flying Sariel, pushing him straight out to press him on a plane with no escape.

This shielded bash boasts a tremendous weight and area.

But on the looming steel wall, Sariel's toe takes. Then Sariel's body, kicking up the shield's wall, gently dances through the universe before being blown away by the impact.

He jumped straight over the shield as if he could get over the park fence, putting his hands on the heavenly side of the shield and passing by with great momentum.

How impotent. No, I don't hesitate, as if I believe I can do the sole.

No command, or are you absolutely confident in your abilities? Either way, Saliel was beyond mace and shield, stuffing the time.

"'One Wear (Thrust)'"

The tip of the black cross spear blinks.

"One Wear (Thrust)," the basic martial art of the spear, in the sword's "Flash (Thrash)," penetrated the target as quickly, precisely, as an example.

There, the blade of the cross is a slight gap between the helmet and the plate that protects the throat.

The heavy knight's neck falls.

If it's normal, here's the battle ant. But the opponent is undead. Just breaking your neck doesn't necessarily mean you're going to die instantly.

Without realizing at all that his neck had fallen, the heavy knight waves his mace toward Sariel, who is on his shoulder -

"'Black Thunder Breakthrough (Voltecker)'"

The tip of a black thunderbolt pierces the severed neck. I won't put it down for a beat, a double hit. I dropped my neck, just prepping underneath. Saliel's fate was this blow.

There is no blood coming from the heavy knight. Because Nell already knows that the inside of that armor is a skeleton that only has a bone body.

In the armor, it's almost empty. It won't even hurt if you just put a little blade through it, except if you get hit all over your body.

All the pitch-black thunderstorms unleashed by "Black Thunder Breakthrough (Voltecker)" burst inside the armor. As it is, it explodes into wood terminal dust, so loud that the body of the heavy knight jumps off his back. At the earliest, I'm not talking about waving a mace.

A merciless blow of the war witch pierced a similar heavy knight whose body could not fly a thousand pieces.

"" Duplex/Wearing ""

The piercing hand released by Nell stabs the abdomen of the heavy knight, who was just thrust out asking you to pierce it in front of him.

The opponent cannot attack or defend, exposing a deadly gap. This is just as true for Kakashi.

No matter how hard you are wrapped in armor, with the technical logic of the ancient jujitsu 'dual and worn' and Nell's skill, it is impossible to stop it. White dragon claws pierced the armor, and unleashed all the power of the secret martial arts within it.

A shockwave of wild black thunder and slapped magic. By its double impact, the Heavy Knight's all-body armor flew to pieces of wood dust only this time.

"Brilliant. After all, you two are a dependable avant-garde."

Kick the rolling heavy knight's hooded helmet and Fiona, who was just watching, sends a compliment to the two of them.

"... thank you very much"

But it was an honestly unhappy Nell.

That day, we were to camp here once. The realm of divine annihilation Avalon has always remained red in the sky and continues to be illuminated by just spooky thin lights without day or night. There is no better way to pass the day than with an internal clock or magic device (magic item).

Fiona had an approximate physical sense, and when she said it was time to rest here because it was night, she affirmed that Sariel was sure at night, even on her body watch, and Nell confirmed it was true on her own watch.

Throw the wreckage of the knocked down heavy knight outside, soil magically blocking the entrance on the side of the aisle that came and the gate on the side of the downtown where we are going to go to secure the safety zone. Sometimes monsters suddenly appear to move indoors from nowhere in some dungeons, but at least there are no such reports regarding this defensive tower. When the Kingsguard knight here is defeated, the new Kingsguard knight remains a century-old observation record as he discipliningly guards himself through a regular passage. The time before his successor arrives is unknown, but if he shows up, he'll notice right away with the sound of a knock.

……

The camp was quiet, both in preparation and at dinner. There's nothing to talk about, just silence. The more normal people seemed too awkward and insane, but all three of them took this for granted, and no one seemed to care.

- Good morning, Master Fiona.

Fortunately, the successor Kingsguard did not visit and the three were able to have a quiet night. Have breakfast, get ready and check the route.

"From this downtown area, in addition to the thicker security net than ever, the troublemaker is the Dragon Knight."

Nell isn't a wacko he saw directly either, but it's a famous story that dragon knights flying around the sky are on guard on the ground from downtown. Fool, if you go down the street honestly, you'll be captured by the Eagle-Eyed Dragon Knight, working with ground troops to hunt intruders.

"They're coming out with monsters, too."

"Yes, some knights have summoner (summoner) classes, so they say they will serve"

"Are you an ancient monster?

"I don't know, as far as it's confirmed, they're all still monsters left today. Instead, they all have powerful and troublesome intrinsic magic (extras)"

If the number of enemies is increasing, so is the simple strength. What a simple way to increase difficulty.

"Well, let's just think it's better without a trap"

If you desperately look for a good place, that's all you'll find. Correctly the level of danger you deserve for a Rank 5 title. The Divine Extinction Realm Avalon Attack is something like the real deal from here on out.

The three entered the city with the same level of serenity as usual for the sake of temper.

The atmosphere in the city hasn't changed much, but it looks bigger without a heart and more tall buildings.

The formation remains the same, leaving the enemies and the lead to Saliel, continuing in the order of Nell, Fiona. The first road is going well. At the beginning of the city, the number of challenging adventurers is still high, so the route is well developed. The basic tactic is to travel through standing buildings to escape the eyes of dragon knights.

Fiona and the others also gratefully borrow the wisdom of their ancestors and repeatedly come and go in various buildings like a labyrinth. And sometimes they destroy some of the walls and pass through to the next building.

By the way, whether inside Avalon is managed by a knight, or whether there are craftsmen, or whether it is also magic that rewinds time, the destroyed buildings, etc. will all be restored within almost three days, he said. Therefore, every time a challenging adventurer destroys a wall.

"You've fixed it over and over again, and the fact that you won't be stepping up security for that place forever... I guess the knights can only act on security as they've decided"

"Yeah, so they say there might be a cavalier chief of necromancers (necromancers) who heads all knights somewhere or a magical central facility"

"I don't care what you think it is, it's in Demon King's Castle."

"He's the most prominent candidate, but nobody got to that castle in the first place, so it's just a guess, rather than the earliest, fairytale kind of thing."

Without a single battle, I proceeded with my steps in due course for two hours. Fiona and Nell had a truly adventurous chat as they paused in the entrance hall of a landscaped stone building, considered relatively safe.

"Maybe if you attack Demon King's Castle, you'll get Avalon itself, or something like that?

"Yeah, a long time ago, I've been whispered by the truth. It may be natural to think so from the fact that the knights of the diaspora continue to protect the Empire in an orderly manner. And it's not Demon King's Castle, it's Avalon Royal Castle."

"Is it not?

"No. Demon King, in the first place, is like an alias given on its own in future generations, and Mia Ellord is the emperor of an orthodox empire. It has nothing to do with the evil title," King of Demons. "

"Ha, it doesn't matter either way, does it? You're obsessed with strange things."

"Naturally, I am a righteous royalty who draws the blood of Ellord."

"Was I?

After a rather lively break with Princess Nell, whose voice was absurd and pumped against the natural and stirring Fiona, the three of them once again began their nervous downtown hideout.

"- I'm sorry, we've been discovered"

As we moved on from there, more battles became inevitable. Sariel's security route guess still worked here, but at any rate, if the number increases, there will also be a state of 'stuffing' where the holes are completely gone.

In that case, we will enter a swift annihilation battle as before.

The basics are indoors escaping the Dragon Knight's eyes. Saliel and Nell's avant-garde combo instantly killed the knight after pulling him inside the building. Alternatively, Fiona may end a group of people walking down the street with a magic shot through the window.

And when I was called in for reinforcements and the number of enemies exceeded the limit I could handle, I managed to cut through this while crushing the entire building to a single grid.

"Ha... not really, if you keep doing this, it's the limit"

The advanced attack magic set up by Fiona makes it sound like a slightly breathless Nell unzarred against the backdrop of the site of a stone tower that collapsed without a trace.

"It's okay, because we're almost there to our next destination"

"Yes, the subway station of interest is two blocks away"

Now, after destroying the Knights from tower to tower, there will be no enemies around here for a while. If that bothers you, even if you run straight down the street, you'll be able to jump without difficulty into the entrance to the aisle leading down to the basement.

"In that case...... no, I knew it was fine. Ha, Krono-kun used to be such an adventurer..."

As soon as he reached the frontier of giving up, Nell safely reached the underground passage that Sariel called 'Chikatezueki'.

"This, the stairs are moving."

As a little surprised, Fiona says.

The downstairs stretching toward the basement have been seen and come many times before, as well as up and down, but this was the first time I had ever seen the stairs run automatically with gowns and sounds.

I'm an escalator.

"Are you talking about this moving staircase?

"Yes, that's what we call it on Earth"

However, Saliel went on to say that what was moving by magic, not electricity, was fundamentally different in structure.

"Perhaps Mr. Lily moved it."

To Fiona's guess, they both nodded.

This location is one of the points shown on the map of Lily. That is, she herself is a sign through Avalon.

"Let's go"

Because he remembered Lily's definitive presence waiting ahead, the escalator stretching toward the dark basement felt the illusion as if it even passed into the stomach of a giant monster.

The three rode escalators, looking slightly nervous.

Fortunately, without a single battle in the underground aisle, I was able to get through safely without any of the nasty traps Lily had set up.

Back on the ground again, the galleries and landscape change from before. As Lily's map suggests, he soon found out that he was out of the city in untouched territory.

"- This will be your last break."

For one thing, a good time means the three of them start preparing their second camp. This surrounding area is different from the city of Avalon, full of rubble piles. In far ancient times, as we tell the story of the mysterious final war that led to the collapse of its superior civilization was true, we can confirm only with a constant glance at the traces of intense fighting.

Even in an abandoned city with no remnants, they gazed at the buildings that remained in relatively good condition, and the three decided to make it a camp there.

"Is this... an ancient cathedral"

"It's a church."

"Yes, definitely a crucian church"

Two people from Sinclair affirm that the building they found.

The symbolic object of the cross of God is lost, the exterior is worn out, not a single piece of white paint remains, and the interior is just a gallanton with a stone hall. From the shape of that building and the slightly remaining interior, however, Fiona and Saliel quickly perceived that this was the church of the Crucifixion.

"When it comes to crucifixion, it's the religion of the Ark continent that the Crusaders of Examples believe in, right?

If you're an adventurer, you already know that much information. Nell even listened directly from Chrono.

"Exactly."

"Then how can there be a 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)'"

It's a hall where all the things that should be in the chapel were removed, but where the altar was supposed to be provided, a pitch-black tablet stood dignified to deny the existence of God. The Black Monument (Obelisk) "The Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)", which celebrates the ancient Demon King Mia Ellord, is the most famous relic of antiquity found throughout the Pandora continent.

Regardless, a considerable number, large and small, can be ascertained within this divine extinction realm of Avalon.

"Isn't it because the Demon King's Army took control? It seems that in ancient times there was a religious war with the Crucifixion."

The history of the numerous battles that took place in ancient times, although various theories are uttered as contemporary archaeology, Nell catches on to a tone that affirms that Fiona was strangely a battle against the Cross. She wonders if she knows something that she doesn't even know is a living Avalonian.

Though concerned, I stopped asking questions. Anyway, it's about this spicy witch. The key thing is to keep it a secret.

"So, Sariel, what do you say?

"Function is still alive"

Sariel was interestingly touching the black slab surface with its bonyarring crimson ancient lettering, like a scholar who discovered rare things.

"No problem. Can be used."

"Really? Good."

"What does that mean?"

"It's a secret."

Wow, I knew it, you bitch! And, Nell honestly regrets asking the question. It was something I knew would be dealt with secretly, but still, if there was some use for "The Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)," which is just a stone tablet, or if a hidden function existed... even if it wasn't Nell, Pandora's, everyone would care.

"... is it possible that Sole is the 'win' over Lily you were talking about?"

"Well, that's the place. It's just one of the means."

Although I was wondering if there was anything left, Nell didn't have the energy to pursue Fiona's opponents any more barren.

"Don't be so offended. Because I want to avoid the possibility that even one of these hands will be read to Lily."

"I know, that's not true."

I don't need to follow you anymore. No, Fiona was the same bonyari face to Nell, who gives me a thorny return all the time.

"Well, let's make it for tomorrow and rest."

Last supper, or so, I went to bed that day after consuming all the oversized five-step crates packed with a bunch of strangely lavish cross-world dishes that Sariel had brought in.

In this untouched realm, there is not much to say about the knights who were so urochioed in the city. Just like before entering the dungeon, it seems to be outside their security perimeter, but instead, from here on out is Lily's domain of control.

I don't know what it is. I've been more vigilant than ever...

- Good morning, Master Fiona.

Saliel's greeting I also heard yesterday. It was a testament to getting through the night safely. They'll be quiet and ready as usual. I don't feel anything for the three of you, knowing that there is a deadly battle ahead with your strongest enemies, yet attacking the dungeon pale.

Only, on the surface.

After all, the three of them will never know what they think in the depths of their hearts. I don't even want to know, something like that. Nell didn't even get fine dust, like he was willing to use his telepathic abilities to explore.

But just for Chrono. I believe the thought is the same, and finally the three of them leave.

"Well, let's go -"

At that moment, there will be a great explosion that will shake heaven. No foreboding, no foreboding.

That's how the ancient church disappeared without a trace.
