Kuro no Maou

Intermittent ringing gunfire. Though the ancient battleship Shangri-La has only one vice gun, it continues its harsh shelling as if it could control the ground with it alone. There is no point in using it as a shield, such as the remains of an ancient city, and many thick stone walls are pierced with craters on the ground.

Saliel continues to observe Lily calmly as a powerful magic shell rains and pours away one piece of flesh if hit directly.

(The gun on the right serves as the aiming device for the auxiliary guns)

The gun Lily holds in her right hand has a gold embellishment based on white, more like a piece of art than a weapon.

From that golden muzzle, nothing has been fired at first glance. But Lily keeps pointing at the muzzle that won't release a bullet or a beam in Saliel's direction.

I've been guessing since the first time I was shot in the back with a secondary gun, but Lily still has the ability to manipulate and fire the secondary gun remotely.

If you compare it with Lily Shirazaki's memory, it means Lily's gun is like a laser target indicator that directs a missile to a target.

Is it the invisible laser that is illuminating, the encrypted magic signal, or the wavelength of the telepathy? The principle is unknown, but still a white gun in your right hand, trying to manipulate Shangri-La's auxiliary guns, no doubt.

- I won't let you near me.

Meanwhile, a black-colored, boneless gun in his left hand shoots a disastrous red flash.

Shot out is the Flash Cannon (Lux Force Blast), an advanced attack magic of bright red light attributes. By narrowing the illumination range of the light, it concentrates its power and becomes the red beam of the polar thickness, sweeping away Saliel's path.

"Huh."

Forcefully reorient the steps you are about to take. Before the red light of ruin passes, it jumps out hard. Interment with Lily opens up again - and at the same time, the shelling is slapped from behind.

It is an attack pattern that has begun to fight and has not been five minutes, but has already been made to experience many times. Avoidance is possible. But it was the best I could do just to outdo it.

"Ha...... Phew"

Saliel, Lily's onslaught to breathe. No, with this, Lily should be called the defensive side.

Now that we have lost the power of the Apostle, Sariel's greatest strength is his magic. In order to defeat Lily, we just have to pack up the intermission and stab her directly. If it's a melee, I have more minutes for myself than Lily, the raw sorcerer style.

But if the distance opens up at all, it turns it into Lily's single altar. You can use basic ranged attack magic based on "Pile (Sagitta)" with Sariel. But there was an equal difference between shooting back machine gun crucifixes with pistols in front if Lily was proud of the genius light magic in front of her.

Needless to say, Shangri-La's deputy cannon. The more powerful the blow fired from the black gun on your left is, the more you hit it, the more powerful it is. In addition, Lily's fairy junction (Oracle Field) unleashes countless Light Arrows (Lux Sagitta), each with specific abilities such as induction, explosion, penetration, and more.

Those beautiful lights, like meteoroids, continue to kill for Sariel and do not give her time to rest.

(I can't even see how it wore off to Lily)

Sariel begins to think about his next hand as he takes off the blast range of the secondary artillery and escapes the building that has collapsed even further.

Even if Lily continues to attack so much, she has less than one sweat of magic. If it is a war of attrition, there is no winning chance against Sariel, who relies solely on the slight black magic given to him by The Dark Knight Freesia.

(Heavy Attack Magic Storm...... but not enough to break through)

It was a natural conclusion rather than a readiness.

If it's a long fight, we'll lose for sure. If Fiona and Nell rush to this scene, it's a reversal of the situation, but the status quo we can't get in touch with, overstretching the fight, is also not an absolute tactic beyond having a limit of our own magic limits.

Then a short showdown. Worst case scenario, even if you can't finish this, it's enough if you can get a hand wound. Depending on the damage, you can fold it up as is, or you can retreat once to rendezvous with the two. Whatever it is, if Lily stays intact, it doesn't create the option of escape either.

Sariel strikes Lily alone. I understood that to be a necessary condition to get through this war situation.

"Phew."

With a sharp exhalation, set up a few more Attacks to Lily. Until now, it has been like a half-way view. But this time, it's fate. Even at some risk, I was determined to be prepared to pack a pause.

"Hmm, looks like you're finally getting serious"

Diving through the light, more sparkle in evasion.

Through critical gaps, the hit bullet plays precisely with a spear. Keep going three steps and you won't have to worry about your back.

The auxiliary guns are extremely powerful. Therefore, Lily can't let them land right next to herself either. You can't even shoot from behind if you want to get to a certain distance.

Next thing you should be alert to is an ancient gun attack, released from Lily's left hand.

"'Star Destroyer' - Maximum Radiation (Full Burst)"

In perfect timing and position, crimson rays are shot in. Already, Sariel in the assault position is difficult to avoid. Even if it's abusive, it definitely breaks down.

A blow close to the king's hand. But Saliel is not so foolish as not to counteract an attack he has already seen many times.

"" Seismic Electric Giant Shield (Rhine Algarea Sild) "- Added (Enchant) -" Dark Thundercloud (Anti-Plasma Field) ""

If it's inevitable, you can prevent it. Precisely to prevent and open as many gaps as you can avoid?

On the tip of the 'Rebellion Cross' erected by Sariel, the bursting black thunder converges with the erupting black smoke, turning it into a lump of lightning balls.

Due to the properties of Freesian protection, the magic of Sariel's use is limited to lightning attributes. Therefore, defensive magic also becomes Thunder's advanced "Shock-Electric Giant Shield (Rhine Algarea Shield)".

This alone, however, does not lead to receiving Lily's blow, possibly the 'maximum radiation (full burst)' emitted from 'Star Destroyer', the name of the gun on his left. The ultra-compressed lightning shield is also pierced with a breath by the bright red flash.

All Sariel asked for was a little bit of power to divert the light of ruin.

Now is the only time to rely on thunder magic, but it was once something that, as an apostle, deserved a white God and used light attributes as its main purpose. Understanding and feeling of its properties, magic ceremonies and, above all, the very attribute of 'light' known only to skilled operators.

The experience teaches Sariel a methodology for playing light.

The original magic (original), constructed with half-fast, before the power of Lily. That's The Dark Thundercloud (Anti-Plasma Field).

Blinking black thunder on the tip of the ear, it becomes a block of smoke as black as a thundercloud that produces it, and it manifests its effect.

Thunderclouds conceived of a blackening thunder bend the light. Distort the light, which should only go straight, to draw a gentle curve. As a classification of magical abilities, it could be called a kind of reflex (reflex).

Only a very small amount could be created, which is also slightly unstable. At this moment, however, the defensive performance that Sariel wanted was abundant.

Half a bet on whether it goes through or not. Besides, I'd say she won.

"The light bent?

Lily unwittingly snaps at being prevented in a way she has never seen before. It is a swallowing response.

Sariel dives through the red "Flash Cannon (Lux Force Blast)", slightly out of orbit, by the "Seismic Electric Giant Shield (Rhine Algarea Shield)" lit on the tip of his ear, in a forward leaning position that crawls through the ground and finally fleshes to Lily.

Stick out the spear and it will reach its luxurious torso. Finally arrived, Saliel's time.

"'Meteor Striker' - Diffuse Shooting (Spreader)"

At that time, there is a dazzling light than a right-hand white gun that has never fired a single bullet before.

A huge amount of light bullets can be bounced at the same time, as if the gunpoint were to cover up the space ahead, all of it. Is there a gap between the bullets spit out in one piece, dozens of centimeters or not? No matter how small, there is no aversion gap between human-sized sariels being dived through.

After making you think you don't have the ability to shoot, unintentionally - so much so that Sariel wasn't alarmed either.

If you have to, the right gun can also shoot light (balls). Aiming operations on auxiliary guns are just one of the features incorporated into the gun. From the beginning, that's what I expected.

So the moment Lily's right hand, the gun they called the 'Meteor Striker', was pointed at her, Saliel stopped poking spears and kicked the ground, no, thoughtfully through the walls of the air. "The Thousand Mile Disease (Sonic Walker)" left Saliel's body flying super fast straight to the side as if it had ignored the laws of inertia.

Amazingly, the hundreds of bullets that Lily unleashed in "Meteor Striker" had inductive properties on every one of those shots. Simultaneously bend the ballistics at right angles to chase the escaped prey, as Sariel anticipated moving to evasion of the aggressiveness.

But still Sariel's speed won.

When the bullet of light arrived again at Saliel's, she was already kicking the void again and headed towards Lily with the speed of thunder. The bullet, which could not be chased with the inductive properties that it was now up to, just vainly tore apart the remnants of Saliel.

"One Wear (Thrust)"

The martial arts unleashed are the foundation of the spear but poke the shortest distance possible. Enough blow to pierce the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field) and wear Lily, whose flesh itself is not stubborn.

The timing is perfect. Lily hasn't run out of eyes about herself. The gaze is facing forward, and the right 'Meteor Striker', the left 'Star Destroyer', are facing forward together.

Definitely hit. Yes, Saliel's previous experience tells us...

"- Oh, you're in danger. If Chrono hadn't helped us, he'd be dead."

Therefore, this was the first experience.

I can't see the enemy's movements. Yes, I didn't see it at all.

Once, a living human lily without any power had somehow spotted a monster moving at a speed that should not be captured by the naked eye. Since becoming myself (Sariel), with modified and fortified flesh, most opponents have been able to follow with their eyes. With the power of the Apostle, there was nothing invisible.

"... why"

Saliel was honestly surprised the more she said so.

Why, why not. No, how.

Lily had stopped the tip of the rolled out 'Rebellion Cross' by pinching it with her right and left hand palms to applaud.

Take Sariel's "One Wear (Thrust)" with white feathers.

I couldn't see the decisive moment myself. As if time had just flown by a comma second.

No, it can't be time manipulative magic or anything. This is a simpler karaki. Yes, for example, Lily moved so fast that even Sariel couldn't see through it. The moment of grasping, of course, is so super fast that you can't see at all, even the motion of storing two buttons of pistols, 'Meteor Striker' and 'Star Destroyer', that they disappear from both hands at some point in time, in space magic.

"'Storm Queen (Oversky)'"

"It's the master's -"

"How, you'll be envious, this is the testament to my love - 'Queen of Fire (Overdrive)'"

Understood. At the same time, Saliel takes his hand off the spear and takes a distance to fly.

Lily waved her arm at the mercy of her hand as she grabbed the tip. If I kept gripping, I would have been slapped to the ground. I have superhuman arm power, unilaterally.

Sariel knows. That all power is hidden in the Demon King's first protection, The Demon King of Fire (Overdrive).

"Go Back (Reverse)"

"Ugh, it's too late, something that's been blackened"

'Rebellion Cross Spear (Liberion Cross)' does not respond. Seeing, the spear in Lily's hand was about to be wrapped in red light.

If the boulder rules with magic interference by the spear itself, the subpoena ceremony will also be cancelled.

"Nice spear, nice black magic."

With a gentle grin that made her even feel merciful, Lily erased the 'Rebellion Cross (Liberion Cross)' she had in her hands. All the spears turn into red phosphorescence, scattered at Lily's disposal.

Storage, not destruction. Perhaps I immediately perceive that I have put it in my own spatial magic (dimension).

But if Sariel had a normal sensibility, it was a procedure he would want to do even with one of his tongues.

Store the weapon you took away from me so that it doesn't get taken back. If you are not familiar with the handling of that weapon, it is the best response.

Sariel has the moves to destroy the opponent's space magic, called 'Breaking Skies (Breakthroughs)'... which he has already shown in the Galahad War. To Lily, who knows what's in her hand, I didn't think it would make sense.

"Well, now you understand that there are no more weapons you can rely on, and not even simple physical abilities, Sariel. Now I'll tell you, surrender."

Winning opportunities crumble.

I lost the advantage of speed, which I was sure was supposed to be winning. It's not just speed enhancement, Lily has all the power of Chrono.

The karakuri is undoubtedly in The Black No-Eye Ball (Yville Eye), which peeks into that abyss but has pitch-black eyes. Fiona had told me that he still had some connection to the main body than he was originally the eyeball of himself, and that he was using it to peek into Chrono's vision.

But it is completely unexpected that we can draw on all our abilities, including protection. beyond the area of force obtained through a portion of the eye. Now it's as if it's integrated with Chrono's soul - no, Saliel recalls that Lily has already experienced a situation very similar to that.

Its name is Fairy Combination (Excelion). Bringing the two together, the magic of God given by Fairy Queen Iris.

It merges in a literal sense with Chrono and has housed his soul in that body, Lily, which is why we can draw strength so far. Or, since the time of the merger, you had already applied some trick... whatever, you wouldn't be able to do the same with Lily if Fiona or yourself just got the 'Black No-eyed Ball (Yville Eye)'.

Now Lily is equal to being alone but tagged with Chrono.

The power of the two, Sariel has already experienced. Enough to compete on par with the Apostle's self, and now in addition to the fifth blessing gained by defeating Gratney Octo, perhaps even the sixth blessing, which is still an unknown ability, could be used.

But what is truly to fear is that Lily has already used the power of protection, which is not her thing. Maybe more than the person I am.

"If you will surrender adultly...... well, let me dare say here. Only life, I'll help you."

"I defend my master. Even in lieu of this life, we must protect it."

"It's a waste of time. Sariel, you're not going to be my opponent for losing your apostolic power."

I know. Lily is stronger now than she is.

But that's what it is.

"Lily, I'll kill you"

This woman must be killed at all costs. Fiona's readiness to say, the true meaning of it, now I feel Sariel has finally understood.

Horrible. I can't help it, it's horrible. Even myself, having lost this emotion, before the power of Lily, I learned a definite fear.

Because she's strong? No.

Because she's cruel? No.

There's only one thing Sariel fears. The reality is that such a monstrous woman (Lily) is bound to show up before Chrono.

Chrono can't beat Lily. Chrono can't get away from Lily. There is no one to stop. At the earliest, no one can stop you.

Fulfilled, what fate awaits Chrono, imprisoned by Lily - just imagine it, and Saliel was so terrified that her spine froze.

I must protect my master.

I think so. Stronger, bigger.

I want power.

I hope so. Deeper, more intense.

But Sariel knows full well that she can't get 'power' just to pray. It is now that we have been granted new protection that we understand it in a true sense.

This must be a trial. God just sits in heaven and watches over the challengers to the trials.

So I get over it on my own. Cut your destiny open with your own hands.

"- Huh."

There is no signal. Without looking at Lily, Saliel just took a step at his own time.

The fastest I can get myself out right now. Not so far apart, my distance, etc., I can run through it shortly after blinking one.

Regardless, there's no way Lily, with "The Thunder Demon King (Overaccelerator)," can't capture that degree of speed. And the cut off attack can be caught up at leisure if there is a "Storm Demon King (Oversky)," take it or counter, if you like. Her speed is enough to strike twice now, while Sariel strikes once.

Once, I understood only a few feelings of Chrono challenging himself of the Seventh Apostle. I see, this will certainly be a battle that requires the thing of being ready to die.

But not so desperate as to give up cleanly. Even an opponent who has the ability to far exceed himself has a winning chance. That's what Chrono should have thought at the time. And this is what I should have thought - if you can't hit me directly from the front, you can put the back on it.

"Even if you know you're not enemies, you're still stupidly advancing? Heh heh, God's puppet-like choice."

Now Lily, who doesn't shoot a single shot at the assault magic of the interception, will be making a heartfelt mockery of Saliel, as the saying goes. Or maybe it's in her own good faith to try to intercept in a melee.

I don't know how people feel, Sariel, but the battle map is sharp. Only the person you fight can be understood by intuition beyond logic. So I get it. Lily says she's bound to take the blow she's about to take.

No words, no signals, nothing between the two of us. But Saliel rode without hesitation upon Lily's arrogant provocation as the Demon King.

"- Stinger"

"I know that move."

Lily takes Sariel's special piercing hand with hardness and sharpness beyond the steel blade only with its red-leaved palms. You don't even have to use the power of protection, or the glowing white hands are just concentrating the fairy junction (Oracle Field) in front of you. In fact, this suppresses the 'stinger' without cutting a thin piece of skin, so it would be sufficient as a response.

Now, what do you think of Lily, who took a piercing just sharp and fast without difficulty, with no special effect whatsoever?

Is that it, or are you disappointed, or are you satisfied that you can defeat your enemies with overwhelming strength? Either way, Saliel has nothing more to offer than hope she does.

Because this' stinger 'is so called one feint.

"One Wear (Thrust)"

Spear martial arts to be unleashed. But there is no 'Rebellion Cross (Liberion Cross)' in Saliel's hand. It is apparent at first glance that no weapon has been held in her hands.

Yes, I just don't have it in my hand, and Saliel has been equipped with another blade since the beginning.

Billy, and a black blade dives under Saliel's crotch to leave the sound of cleaving his monastic clothes behind. Quiet as a snake crawls through the ground, then, fast as a swallow flies.

Sole also dives under the relative Lily's crotch, and a cut jumps in with the power of the martial arts "one (thrust)" towards her back, where demonic butterfly feathers grow.

"This is the tail..."

Yes, that's the tail. A decorative, no, concealed weapon that mimics the tail of a demon, held by a slutty succubus armor hidden beneath a chaste monastic garment.

Though the tail is designed as cheesy as the devil depicted in the fairy tale illustration, the tail part is made of magic metal that makes it stretchy and free and the tip more rigid in response to magic.

If Sariel uses it, he can pierce it with a breath of defensive magic or steel armor, turning it into a special blade. On the back of the defenseless Lily, a vicious devil's tail jumps in.

- I know that, too.

On the verge, Saliel still couldn't capture the moment Lily flipped herself.

If you noticed, the tail that should have totally decided to back attack was being grabbed by Lily's left hand.

The right hand is in the position of twisting his half and grabbing his tail with his empty left hand while still dressed to receive Saliel's "Stinger". At the end of the day, Pickle and I wouldn't move our tails if we were held in her soft, little hands.

"Ugh, that would have been fun, the pair of hands with Chrono"

I see, it was all seen.

Sariel is a complete recent pair of hands with Chrono, and has used several attacks by the tail of a succubus armor.

I know everything he's seen since Lily implanted Chrono's eyes. In other words, just like Chrono, who was in a pair of hands, the hand tag of this tail attack was revealed - a prediction that had been made from the beginning.

Therefore, this is also a feint.

"..." Set and thorough ""

For a moment, Lily's right hand explodes.

"Huh!?

Change the shape of the piercing hand that was protruding on the palm to the shape of the palm bottom. Just that much movement, complete zero distance, but still Saliel let go. Perfectly reproduced, old-fashioned jujitsu and the first move, Set and Thorough.

Lily knows the moves themselves. On the road so far, scattered, I would see Nell using it, and one or two of the measures, he would be standing.

But when Sariel can also use this move, Lily doesn't know. In the first place, I haven't taught anyone. Even the master doesn't know.

Naturally, I remember yesterday.

I tried to remember when I once suppressed myself to protect Fiona from the 'set and thoroughness' unleashed by mad Nell in the dorm lounge.

It was actually quite remarkable. Saliel, who stopped, knows very well that Nell's blow was filled with vicious power. It was successfully stopped because, only once before, Bishop Judas had shown it to me on a whim.

Apparently, he masters old-fashioned jujitsu. When you showed me, I tried to imitate myself, but it didn't work. Look at that. Bishop Judas says, "You have no talent," and that's it. If you were talented, would you have told me? I don't know now, and it doesn't matter to Sariel, who has already repaired the orthodox somatological lineage of the Sinclair Republic, including 'Stinger'.

However, contact with Nell advanced the understanding of ancient flow jujitsu. When I stopped the blow, I finally figured out what kind of principle move it was. But not enough to master.

This time, the avant-garde at the Nell and Combine in the Divine Extinction Realm Avalon offense blessed her with the opportunity to see her moves up close again and again.

And yesterday, Saliel finally figured out the 'set and thorough' technique. If you know that, there's no reason you can't use it. In fact, even if this is the first moment to release, Sariel does not doubt that fine dust will fail either.

Because this is where you get moves.

Thus, after two pinches of feint, the "set and thoroughness" of fate finally burst into Lily.
