Kuro no Maou

At first, it was Miriam, not me, who faced Lily in the main entrance garden.

"The Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian)" is a full-body armor that softly covers and hides your body from the heavenly edge of your head to the tip of your feet, if you wear it to your helmet. I mean, I don't know if there really are people in there.

If you actually walk and hear my voice from inside, Krono is wearing armor, anyone is determined to recognize it that way.

So, you're bound to be setting something up. Be wary of Lily's trap, and I dared to ask Miriam to play the part... I didn't know you could make it stop in an instant.

No, seriously, I'm glad I kept it. If I had depended on this, Lily's one win would have been determined by this first hand.

"That's Coquitos' small room."

It was Simon I bore, as Sariel always did. Whispered in my ear, I'm a little tickled.

How can you be so intimate, because I wear a 'Predator Coat' with you to hide myself?

From the time I left for this distinyland, I hid myself with Simon, pretended to be me, and 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)' walked in.

"So you're saying time is stopping?

It looks bland and frozen, but even if I just look at it from a distance like this, I somehow feel that it's just not the same as a sealing technique due to ice attributes.

"Me, I've only been with my sister Leah once in a long time to visit the basement of Castle Sparda. It's frozen exactly like mine, I'm sure of it."

"Can you disarm it?

"I can't, because normal sealing is hard to interfere with and disarm."

Is that true? I don't specialize in that either, and Simon is not a magician, even if he has knowledge.

"Lily's the only one who can control it."

"Right..."

Do I have to give up restarting "Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)"?

Now, being stopped so quickly, what to do next - before thinking about it, things were starting to move forward.

"- Whoa! Oh, my God, what power."

Early on, Kai was about to slash towards Lily.

Not only Kai, but all the other members.

"Oh man, I can't believe I'm really going with Plan B... the more unpleasant a hunch, the better."

I see. Copy that.

Though it was unexpected that in an instant Miriam, Falcius covered it well and ran Plan B.

Plan B is that I will be in charge of rescuing Lily by the four Kai Falkius Rudra Sellis.

Fortunately, the contents of the armor are never examined at the time of captivity in the 'Narrow Room of Coquitos'. Lily is completely convinced she's got me with every piece of armor. You haven't discovered my existence in hiding, so it would be appropriate to move as a rescuer.

"Let's go, Simon"

"Yeah."

Wishing the four of you well, I killed my breath and ran out.

I hear intense combat noises. The strength of the four is origami, but now Lily is apostolic. While looking back again and again, I run quietly through the land concentrating solely on what I need to accomplish.

The destination is the castle of White Asia, which stands in the middle like a symbol of Rand. The design is reminiscent of Japan's most famous theme park, but it will be much bigger this way. The brilliantly lit castle must have attracted people's attention during ancient business hours, but closed within this red sky dungeon, it's just a creepy unmanned castle.

"You should stop at the front on the boulder."

"I'm sorry, until the entrance point, just the magic path. Then I don't know."

"No, it's originally a leisure facility building. It should be a back door and a passageway, and there should be as much."

Simon's analysis shows that some kind of magic facility is operating beneath the castle, following the path of magic supplied by Shangri-La. Due to the amount of magic used, it is likely that this is where we are capturing Fiona and the others. If not, I would follow the second and third candidate points in turn... somehow, I thought Lily would keep them at her feet.

So, Fiona must be here.

I go around the castle carefully, suppressing my feelings to do it.

After all, it's not a real castle, it's not a secret military facility, it's a makeshift castle. I thought it was for staff and the entrance was quickly discovered.

I'm not standing guard. The user demon of surveillance (Servant) is also invisible.

But it was locked.

"Wait a minute."

It has a terminal just beside the door, like you saw at the subway station. Simon connects with his device with the earliest hand he can get used to,

"It's open."

Unlock without hesitation.

If you break in poorly, you might be detected by sound. Thanks to Simon, he succeeded in making a smart break into the castle.

Backyard, I guess it's supposed to be an area. Contrary to the appearance of the luxurious castle, the back interior of the castle for the staff on the back to work on was a truly simple construction. A passage of gray walls continues, like a concrete beating, and posters such as stickers and caveats written in ancient letters can be glimpsed.

I aim underground, so I don't have to open the office, the holding room or the warehouse-like door and check inside one by one. If I kept running down the aisle, I would have quickly discovered the stairs as well.

"... from here on out, there's a lookout"

In front of you down the stairs, I detect signs. Once you stop on the stairs, sharpen your senses further and explore the unseen downstairs.

"Nearby, you two"

"What are we going to do?

"Break through. If I get ahead of you, get rid of it, keep going."

Drinking his sawdust, Simon snorted like he was ready.

Three, two, one, and carved a countdown in my heart, and I never jumped into the stairs with my will.

Tan, tan, and gently kick the stairs into the downstairs. Hearing that sound, the two watchmen turn their attention - but it's slow.

Already, I'm wearing a blade of magnum.

"... ugh!

Slap them both together and slap them off. The man on the watch, without a voice, quietly sank into a sea of blood with his torso and hips amputated.

"So, what the hell are you guys?

Kill him off, then make sure he looks like a serious lookout guy.

You look like a soldier wearing grey armor over a black full-body suit like the Assassin suit that the escort maid Celia wore... um here, you look like a soldier appearing on a near-future stage FPS or something. Power suit, is it?

Though he has a sword down his hips, what he's holding is a rifle from wherever he sees it. Plus, it looks like a ray gun, likely to fire lasers and beams, not lead balls.

Perhaps it's ancient infantry gear, borrowed from within Shangri-La.

But more important than gear is who they are.

"I knew it, homunculus"

Removing the full-face helmet, what came out of it, as expected, was the face of a young man with silver hair and red eyes.

It was the same Ain I visited as Lily's messenger, and both of them who died here looked exactly the same.

"Doesn't having a bearer (nameless) mean... besides those nine, you've created a new one"

Shangri-La is an ancient super-do weapon. It is no surprise that some of the spaceships that collect excerpts of magical civilization are equipped with Homncrus manufacturing facilities.

"But the fact that they don't attack us in the big army doesn't seem like they can make that much."

If Lily had led a legion of Homunculus armed with ancient weapons, we'd have no chance of winning completely.

Between the time I came to the castle, I didn't see a single guy walking on the lookout, and it's about the first time I've been in this basement, so maybe we only have enough of them to place them as security only in critical facilities.

Now, based on the feeling of defeating you, if there are about ten or twenty, then there is no difficulty in eliminating them.

The horrible thing is, like Fiona, is that you get attacked at an exhausting time?

"Let's go"

You don't have to hide yourself at the earliest. The Predator Court gets in the way more than the battle with the watch is inevitable.

I'm ahead, a little behind you, Simon, and we're going underground in the castle.

The basement is considerably wider than I thought. As always, there is a gray passage and a door there. If I had searched around one by one, I wouldn't have had enough time.

Fortunately, the destination location is roughly known.

Then you reach the lower basement third floor, which crosses two further downstairs.

"You got more lookouts at once."

Apparently, that means the area of the magic facility that this basement third floor actually uses.

From the signs, wearing a predator coat doesn't seem likely to trick the lookout into breaking in.

This has to go by force.

"Sick -"

Instant execution. With "neck break" in my hand, I enter the basement three floors at once. We'll get to them before they notice the raid and take them hostage.

Keep the momentum, first truncate the pair who stood in the aisle the same way they did in the beginning. Again, the physique and equipment are exactly the same. Soldiers of Homunculus.

They knocked them out before they reacted to me, but the other pair standing at the corner at the end of the aisle were moving instantly to respond.

Stop, without words of warning such as, or surprise at the sudden intruder. They turned their mechanically held beam rifle towards me, pale, without exchanging words or hand signs.

A tall shooting sound called Gin, Gin,. With the muzzle flash, there was faint violet electricity scattered.

"It wasn't a beam rifle, it was a rail gun"

From its appearance and power, and from the signs of magic, it seems to be a thunder magic rail gun using the same principles as my "The Grid". The buppigan and pink beam didn't fly, like a shame, like a ho.

"" Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts) ""

Think of it, it's the first time I've ever been in a shootout. The gun only uses me or Simon, and the only thing that gets shot is arrows and attack magic.

Well, both this otherworldly offensive magic and bow-arrow martial arts have the same or more outrageous power as Earth's guns, so even if your opponent relentlessly lets the rail gun rifle go full auto, you can deal with it the same way you always do.

To escape the rays, I ran my foot to the aisle wall, a few meters of wall run. That's about it, even if there's no other mobile martial arts, I can handle it with vegetarian physical abilities and momentum.

Wall running past countless bullets passing through the middle of the aisle, before they move their aim this way, pull 'Dual Eagle' out of the shadows and fire. No bullets loaded, regular demon bullets (Barrett Arts).

"Ugh!"

"Gu!"

Two shots fired, hit together. One shot to the head, the other to the chest, each hit, but the glossless grey armor looks pretty sturdy. The crisp and crack went in, and even the emotional homunculus soldiers seemed to have passed the shock of landing enough to leak groans, but it didn't get to piercing.

(10) You can cut it, but you can't just smash it with demon bullets (Barrett Arts), and so on, and so on. Seems like we could destroy it with a series of rounds, but it's quicker to slash it like this.

The Demon Bullet (Barrett Arts) hits straight and breaks down a lot, to the two homunculus who are not close to shooting, I decide to jump straight from the wall run to the ceiling sleigh and fill in the time.

Slash and abandon the two of them with the momentum that jumped in, and go further down the aisle without stopping -

"Whoa, 'Black Shield (Shield)'!?

On the other side of the corner, there were already four Homunculus soldiers with rifles, two front rows kneeling, and two rear rows in an upright position, waiting for my appearance.

A shooting sound echoing a full aisle and a dazzling purple electric muzzle flash.

Rely on defensive magic in times like this because the bullet was going to arrive before you could escape the rays. The black square 'Black Shield (Shield)', which unfolds instantly, is the magic of the single action we've been using since our experimental days, so activation is the fastest. It helps to defend this kind of aggressiveness.

But not so much defense.

The rail gun bullet that has arrived instantly creates a crack as it pierces the pitch-black shield. I can't take many rounds of this.

Is this rail gun, as a single power, something like intermediate attack magic? It's stronger than a handless, unleashed demon bullet (Barrett Arts), but inferior to shooting in The Grid, that kind of power.

Good, no questions asked, no superb penetration.

Shame on you, you can calm down and fight back while you're preventing it with the Black Shield.

"-" Howitzer shelling (grenade burst) ""

A shield prevents bullets while sliding underneath the rays. That's how he slipped, releasing a grenade from the horizontal double gunpoint of "Dual Eagle".

It's all four of us in such a narrow aisle, like I'm telling you to cover it up.

Landing, explosion.

Break through the bursting blast and fly into the black smoke. I have poor vision, but I can quickly figure out where the enemy has fallen.

Some would have died instantly, but I ran through the aisle without stopping, letting all four of them fall with a machete and toddle.

That's how he finally reached his destination, ahead of him as he made a dong patch with the watchman Homunculus.

"Yeah, maybe it's here."

Whether it's in a big warehouse or in front of a closed entrance that looks like a thick shutter of metal, me and Simon stand.

It's locked by example, so give Simon access to unlock it. Kakin, and when it sounded, the surprisingly quietly heavy shutter opened.

"... Fiona"

The sight that was spreading ahead was exactly the same as the landscape shown to Mia when she was granted the sixth protection.

In a strangely dim room, bonkers and creepy glow are three large tanks. Should I even say pods for cold sleep? I think he called it 'ether' or something about the red liquid that fills the interior, so is it something like a special magical drug that keeps the human body preserved for eternity in the future?

And in the cylindrical pod, fitted like a specimen, was Fiona, my lover.

With her in the middle, Saliel on her right and Nell on her left, each sinking into the exact same device. If you look, there are two empty pods in the room that are not yet operational...... could it be that I was planning on entering the array?

"Brother, I'll see if I can open that device for now. From what I've seen, it's similar to frozen sealed magic, but sometimes if you force it open, you can have sequelae, or worse, stay asleep."

"Oh, please"

I suppress my desire to get you out of here right now, and let Simon take over the liberation of the pod. Simon heads to the 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)' terminal in the corner of the room and I stand in front of the pod.

"... sorry, Fiona"

Touching a cold pod leaked words like that with nature.

I don't even know what the apology is for. I just let her head into battle with Lily and allow her to end up stuck in this stuff, my impudence for sure.

"I'm so sorry about Sariel and Nell... so we're done here."

I had no choice. There was nothing I could do. If you make excuses, you can do as much as you want.

But it's true that even they got involved in this, and it's also the result of me inviting them to do nothing.

Yes, so now is the time to settle.

"All right, unseal it, I'll open it!

Using Simon's voice as a signal, a red ether drug solution filling the pod is ejected with Zubuzub. Little by little the water level went down, and with it, Fiona's body, which was drifting with yura in the liquid, also had legs to the bottom, her buttocks on, and, when it was completely empty, her naked girlfriend lay down.

"Fiona!"

Kin, and make a noise and a glass transparent pod slides open.

None, lift up the wet Fiona's body - and the warmth that touches this hand and the heartbeat on her chest. And when I heard the little sleep leaking out of my mouth, I was finally relieved.

"Brother, you should hurry. Maybe you let this place go because Mr. Lily will soon notice"

and Simon stood with his back over here at the open entrance.

It's a standing position like you're on guard in the aisle... but I guess this is a consideration for them to be naked for once.

"Oh, yeah"

Put your peace of mind aside and I'll do what I have to do.

I gently blow three bodies with a pre-prepared towel and it's something I'm used to against Saliel, even if Fiona is her... Nell is, seriously, sorry.

I'm not a lover or anything, I'm just a guy friend of mine, and I feel guilty for looking so seriously at the princess naked. Wow, my breasts are more than once bigger than Fiona's - and I'm really sorry about that. But, fool, I honestly let you see the princess's body. I'm sorry, but it hurts the other way...... I'll still be heckly indecisive already starting to worry about whether I should honestly apologize later or keep quiet with the extra.

"... Phew"

Anyway, make sure the three of you are safe. She still seems to be deep asleep, doesn't wake up from calling, but for now, she also wipes her body, clothes, or a big, easy-to-wear robe, but she put it on and finished getting herself ready. Even though it wasn't a big deal, it felt like heavy labor.

Looking around, I didn't see any equipment such as Fiona's Witch Robe, Sariel's Monastic Clothing, Nell's Witch Clothing, etc. Perhaps Lily has it. We decided we could retrieve our gear later, and come on, we're out.

"Come on, Sheep, it's your turn."

"Huh! Supermaid dedicated to your husband (you), awesome, cute, smart, sheep, supreme!!

It was the cursed glove, not the little girl wearing maid clothes, who came up from the extended shadow space (shadowgate) with a zubble, screaming at the strange front door.

Too long dark hair is baffled and mysteriously posing to determine the doah face is a sheep that has obtained a slime pseudomorphic flesh by pseudo-water attributes and turned into a person's figure.

"You're so tense... you know what's going on?

"Of course it is! Sheep, I wondered if it was now or now that your husband was calling, because in the shadow of kuraku, he was waiting for me in a thrill! Come on now, master, what an order to this sheep!!

It's like a mountain to be anxious, but I really need the sheep's hand as a human form, so I can't help it. For once, I've given you a preliminary explanation, and I'll believe you're okay.

"Sheep, grab Fiona and the others and get out of here."

It's too dangerous to stay here forever. If they take back the pattern, rescue operations are pointless.

Escape is the top priority first. For one thing, if you can dive into the subway station at the entrance to this area, you can buy time.

However, with all three humans, a physical question arises as to how a special powerless Simon travels that far. So he decided to leave it to the sheep, as a transporter, and a guard when captured by Homunculus soldiers.

"Look, listen carefully to Simon and act. You can't just choke on your own."

"Yes, as a maid of honor, I will follow Simone here."

Will it really be okay? When I leave the castle, it's an amusement park, and I have an image of sheep going to pop out driven by curiosity... I mean, what's Simone?

"Come on, I'm coming, my maid number three, Simone! Do me a favor for directions!

"Hey, Maid III, you mean me? What's Simone?

Leaving room for simon in confusion without the scratch catching up, the sheep just turn their long hair into tentacles, wrapping the Fionas around and lifting them. She looks like an elementary school girl, but her power is the cursed glove "Black Chain Curse" Iron Cage "itself. There's not as much wax as carrying three human beings.

"Well, I asked for it, Sheep."

"Yes, go ahead and leave it to the sheep!

Sheep answering with a full smile, then went on like this, with a slightly anxious look.

"Your husband, too, please be careful. Sheep will always believe that your husband will bring Lily back."

Oh, yeah, you're right, Sheep. You're a really, really good maid.

"Thank you, Sheep."

Come on, it's the real deal from here.

There's no "Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)" or sheep, and it's been a long time since I've fought alone. But if not, it doesn't make sense.

This isn't just a war you have to kill your enemies, it's a battle of love that takes away both their bodies and their hearts.

"- I win. Make sure you get Lily."
