Kuro no Maou

That day we reveal the night at the 21st Defensive Tower, and the next day, the morning of the 10th of the month of the first fire, we finally challenge ourselves to the central downtown area, where the difficulty increases.

For one thing, the target is a metro station that leads to the untouched area where Lily is based. Lily went through here, and Fiona and the others followed the same route.

As before, if we proceed with Simon doing a route calculation, we should be able to cut through and not fight so flashly. However, it is the dungeon that does not know when to be hit by an unexpected incident. Just because you've made it this far, you can't be alarmed.

"Now, will there be ghosts or snakes..."

Thus, we finally set foot in downtown central, the production of the Rank 5 dungeon Avalon.

The central city, though, cannot reach the section with skyscrapers with super skyscrapers without going deeper. Well, I'm not going as far as building streets like that Manhattan this time, so I don't care.

The streets around here are no different than before. I just don't know if it's an apartment, an office or a department store, but I feel like there's more big buildings. On the east side, some neighborhoods are a bit like luxury residential areas that are built and luxurious.

After all, does it mean that it is developing, as it turns to the centre?

"... Shit"

It is time to begin walking, and not yet thirty minutes have passed.

"Hey, jerk off, they're blocking the front."

"Chrono-kun, behind you"

"No, those behind you, they're approaching with quite a few large numbers"

Quickly, they were about to be pinched in the middle of the road.

Fortunately, Kai sensed ahead and I noticed the enemy approaching behind me. The Knights are just going down a set route, and by chance, they're making a move that can pinch us.

But if we keep going, if we find ourselves blocked at the same time, both in front and behind, and if we're a strange intruder, we'll be lucky to have our allies in position.

"Sorry, I may have miscalculated..."

"Not now, and I knew that calculations couldn't be avoided."

Even that Sariel allowed quite an encount from this central city. Sooner or later, we'll be in a situation like this. Simon never bothers to apologize.

"What do we do, Chrono? Break through?

"No, wait, we still have time until they come in this street"

Looking to Chirali and left and right, Celis and Falcius, who were looking for a place to hide, shook their heads in alignment. Apparently, there are no empty doors in the building facing this street.

Their eyes can't be deluded enough to run into an alley.

What to do, we should be ready to make a front breakthrough...

"Let's climb this building. There is no dragon knight (dragoon) in the sky. If we get to the roof, we might be able to do it."

"Okay, if you decide so, let's just go!

cheap means, but without anyone opposing it, the rooftop evacuation operation was carried out promptly.

The building I showed you is like an apartment that looks like the tallest twenty stories facing this street.

The front door is not open, so climb straight out of the outer wall. We're all going to rip open the glass door... but the ancient architecture is sturdy. Maybe it's really just glass, but it could be tough toughened glass that takes time to destroy, or it could be over-tech super toughened glass that doesn't crack one crack in martial arts. Whether you can break it or not, it's not a situation you can try.

Or if I break it, they'll notice it with sound.

But if you climb the wall, this sturdy architecture is appreciated. Because you don't have to worry about collapsing.

Tough if it is the vertical wall of Tulzl, but with this apartment with a veranda raised irregularity on each floor, there are as many means to climb. It's something I don't really want to climb anywhere I want, because if it's a completely weathered site, like Micaine's ruins city, there's a risk that every veranda I ride will collapse.

But with this Avalon building, I can climb guns and go without worrying about anything. We each try to climb high-rise apartments the fastest way we think.

Kai and Falkius climb straight up, leaving it to their physical abilities. They reminded me of a show like the shock footage of a man climbing the walls of a foreign building on TV without a lifeline. Most of all, the two people with superhuman powers go up and down with leopards at a tremendous speed.

Meanwhile, the two people who make you feel delicate about the way you climb are Rudra, who walks with her feet on the pitch and vertical walls, and Sellis, who climbs and goes only in the high steps that rise fuzzy with the breeze. If you're good at wind attributes, you can jump lightly and heavily, even if the sky can't fly.

Now that I have pseudo-wind attributes, I'm sure I can do something similar, but it's unlikely that I can get my body on the wind as quietly as Celis, and then with exquisite control. Using "The Storm Demon King (Oversky)," it's going to blow away as it is.

If you're going to imitate it, Rudra seems better.

"Hey, Rudra's sole isn't" Disease (Air Walker), "is it dark attribute magic or some kind of application?

"Um, it's a trick you can't even call magic, manipulating shadows and just putting the soles of your feet on the wall."

But for vampires, they say it's more user-friendly than 'Disease (Air Walker)'.

"If you're dealing with black magic, you can easily imitate it."

Hmm, try things, let's do it.

The image recently applied a hard-won and finally acquired pseudo-water attribute, something like a perfect adhesive, with the feel of sticking your walls and feet together.

"... what do you say?

"The shadow is used differently, but as long as it sticks, that's fine"

Hmm, apparently Rudra is not a wack stuck with the image of adhesion.

"The shadow never leaves more than the earth. But if you stand on top of it, you'll never leave again."

No, you're falling. Even if you stand on a shadow, what falls falls falls. Natural laws of physics...... but I guess what Rudra is trying to say is, more like this, a conceptual thing about the 'shadow' thing. Sole has become a fundamental constitutive image in using this magic.

"That's hard."

"What, I'll get used to it soon"

Let's practice next time. That's what I thought, and this time I decided to rely on my tentacles.

Yes, the way I climb is, of course, a self-elevator way to hook the chains up to the edge of the sky with a demon hand (bind arts) and wind them up and climb them as they are.

I have a shiny vivian stuck on my shoulder, which means I have Simon, so this one can climb safer and go.

"Don't worry, I'll never let you go"

"... ugh, yeah"

Simon, hugged by one arm and rising to a height as high as dozens of meters above the ground, looks greatly freaked out. We don't care if it sucks, but Simon is sure to die. Even if it's not fear of heights, fear comes naturally.

In so doing, we quietly reach the roof of the building, each climbing in a different way. I stood back, lurked my breath, and waited for the Knights to pass by.

On the roof of a skyscraper, we succeeded in avoiding the Knights' crossfire, but in the end, the central city offensive became a battle streak.

If you bend the corner, the Assassin type of knight who has difficulty detecting signs, no, in this case should you even call it scouts (scouts)? Bowl with those guys. To battle with or without.

Most of them, they were all slashed and instantly wiped out, but occasionally, they were whistled out in quick motion and called for reinforcements.

I run around all over strange cities desperately to avoid being besieged, and while I'm about to get lost again and again, I manage to do this, cut through.

About three times, if the door to this building had been closed, it would have been completely cornered. It's totally just luck we didn't have to develop into a muddy siege. Apparently, I saw some of us were awesome lucky boys. At least it's not me.

Anyway, such luck overlapped, and although it was a series of wars, the offense proceeded without much difficulty.

"... Now you're finally a goal"

Looking down from the roof of the eight-story building now is the metro station, which uses both Lily and Fiona. The two of them used one of the exits down to the basement, but what I'm looking at is the station building itself. Not as splendid a building as Dae-jong-men, but quite a big station. In the square on its front, the Knights were still strictly consolidating their defences.

The protection looks solid, but if we go through here, it's the main road to Lily's waiting untouched realm. If we've come this far already, we'd rather forcibly break through than look for another route. It would be best if we could sneak in, but no matter how we look at it, there's no blind spot in their security.

If the battle is inevitable anyway, let's fight flashy here and just shred their numbers.

"Celis, are you ready?

"Oh, anytime"

Me and Celis are the only ones standing on this roof. The other members will each be on the placement.

Shall we call it a pre-emptive strike?

"- 3, 2, 1, Energy Critical Point (Full Charge)"

"Deal -"

Me and Sellis are superior to ranged attacks, so I'll knock one in first. Charge "The Grid" with enough pseudo-lightning attributes, and Celis chants the advanced range attack magic in full.

It won't extend to the combination of Lily and Fiona, but it will be much more powerful than that.

"- 'Charged particle cannon (plasma blaster)' fired"

"-" Wind Blade Disturbance (Yale Force Blast) ""

Towards the middle of the square, a tornado bursts with wild purple electricity runoff and wind blades. Two-shot magic, like the wind god thunder god combo attack, blows the knights together that were deploying... but they react quickly to what should be called a boulder. Instantly moved on to dodging action, or defense, and more than half of the knights outraged the thunder and storm outrage. Is it something like more than 30% of the total?

Well, let's all do our best later.

"Let's go -" Storm Demon King (Oversky) ""

Above pre-emptive strikes, they cut into enemy formation at speed before they rebuild their posture. At times like this, the elaborate 'Storm Demon King (Oversky)' is also useful to fly straight.

Wearing an aura of emeralds, the revelation of shelter, and jumping out of the roof of the building, would it have looked like a jade shell would have popped in from them? At much faster speeds than falling, my body landed in the middle of the square. Super weight, including body armor made of weight and genuine dark matter (Full Dark Matter), just that scatters shock waves. A knight who was laying a shield nearby, about ten of them together, was blowing up.

"The Crusaders would make a fuss, but you guys are really cool -" Black ""

A knight who pulls out his sword leaps to replace him with a blown ally. I guess the calm that can attack with no fear or confusion whatsoever and just be considered an enemy is because they are manipulated undead.

Surprise attacks also have a high psychological effect that induces the opponent's upset, but we can't expect that effect if we're limited to Koitsu et al. Whether enemies penetrated from the sky at tremendous speeds or slashed from the three sides, they were just moving towards the enemy in front of them to attack accurately.

"Come on, let's go, whoa!!

Already, Kai has raised his voice and stormed with joy. If me and Celis let go of one shot, we'll storm. I can't even call it an operation, just a force push though.

Rudra and Falcius, like Kai, should be entering the square... well, there's no decision that we have to scream out loud when we fight. Rudra will be running around like a shadow and quietly trumpeting his enemies, and Falcius is a stage without an audience, so he'll just be handling his enemies lightly.

"Chrono, we're going to take care of that Kingsguard!

"I'll take care of Todome, Celis"

Having broken into the square a little late from me, Cerris set his sights on the big Kingsguard knights who stood out among them as he swept away the knights one after the other with a wind sabel.

I'm here because the armor was not designed or armed like what I saw in the defensive tower. He seems a little skinny and stylish. But the weapon is a great sword with a body as long as my 'neck break', and the big shield (tower shield) I erected is heavy itself. The pre-emptive attack must have prevented it just by using its shield. There were only a few burn marks on the surface and fine cuts.

There is a boss penetration, but there are two other similar Kingsguard knights in this square. I can't go to the wax where I'm taking the trouble just for him.

"Double Black"

Feint and nothing. Nashi, go straight ahead, tap into martial arts. Are you confident in power, Kingsguard knights take it without hesitation, not evasion?

The first shot flashed by 'neck break'. The Kingsguard stops this with a shield.

Hard. Is this shield also added (enchanted) with some 'reflexes (reflexes)'? Besides, they probably activate guard-based martial arts as well. Techniques, magic and martial arts, combined with three Kingsguard knights' defenses, cannot afford to be double-crossed no matter how much 'neck slit' they are.

But powerful enough to play.

You're not the only one who's proud of your power. Even if I don't rely on escort, I'm pretty powerful.

Where a shield is played on the outside and the torso is gala-empty, a second blow, instantly pulled out the fangs of "The Extreme Bad Food" looms.

The Kingsguard took this with a sword in his right hand. A sword with a thick, long body is so stubborn that it can be used as a shield. Not relying on magical fortification, but just sturdy stubbornness as a material, becomes a worthy shield to stop the blade of bad eating.

But this also pushes off with force and plays.

Now the guard of the Kingsguard is open again. I'm right after I unleash my martial arts, so I can't smack a blow in without getting my hair done. By the time I unleash my pursuit, even the Kingsguard will be back on track. If you're alone, it's hard to knock you down in one shot without using protection.

But now it's you and me.

"Phase (Phase)/Ground (Heavy Plus) -" Tornado Intense Wear (Tornado Erthrust) ""

The guard didn't miss a slight gap that opened, and Celis burst a blow all over his body.

A skinny blade slightly inserted into the throat, but the power of the wind martial arts emanating from it is awesome.

Bang! And it sounds like a burst, and the Kingsguard's armor plays and flies. Because the contents are bone undead, you just need to scatter armor and bones, but if this were a living human body, it would be a hell of a splatter.

"Hehe, Chrono, when I'm fighting with you, I'm going to be under the illusion that I'm stronger."

"No, you're usually strong"

You're releasing enough martial arts to blow up a Kingsguard knight with one blow. Normally, I'd do more tricks on his hardness.

"I'm not. I'm still ashamed of my immaturity."

With much humility. Celis, who says that with such a smile that he often has worries, is a painting indeed. This is why he's so handsome.

Even I don't think it's a big deal because I just forcefully created a gap. But being cool and humble like Celis, I can't even tell you.

"In the meantime, now you've cleared it up"

While me and Celis defeated the Kingsguard, Kai and Rudra's combination were also dealing with another Kingsguard. The tactics felt just like ours. Kai rocks the Kingsguard knight with force, and Rudra carves it with speed.

It's just that because we didn't blow it up with one blow, like Celis' martial arts, we were both boggling down where we fell and knocking it down.

The last piece of shit Falcius was dealing with on his own, but he's just drawing attention without being forced.

Now that the other four were free, the last Kingsguard knight would have been an instant kill if it had taken all of us.

"Successfully controlled."

Thus, the enemy in front of the station square was successfully annihilated. There were no knights coming out of the station building, so I guess no defense teams were placed inside.

Then let's move on before reinforcements come from the outside. That completes our central city strategy.
