Kuro no Maou

"- Ha!?

For a moment, my consciousness was flying.

"Mm-hmm."

And that seemed the same to Lily.

"... Hey, Lily"

"What, Chrono?

My body fell on my back to a large letter, Lily clinging on top of it, snuggling as I cheeked on my chest plate.

Get out of the way if you're awake.

"Sorry, with"

Tehehe, and when I see Lily smiling cutely and tongue-in-cheek, I'm going to forget that she's definitely fighting.

Tightening my loose mind, I set up a demon hand (bind arts) to keep Lily away from me at zero distance.

Jalajara and black chains pop out simultaneously to tie Lily up from behind, but before that, she pushes my breastplate with her hand and rises fuzzy.

"Thank you, I'm not hurt by Chrono. I knew Chrono was sweet."

Once again, Lily's body is covered by a crimson fairy junction (Oracle Field), while the broken chains are scattered.

After all, can't demons (bind arts) capture the boundaries of light alone?

"... in the castle"

Once the time leaves, I'll quickly check my surroundings. Apparently, we fell through the castle ceiling.

It's the entrance hall to the castle, which stretches right through the main entrance. The height to near the third floor is blown out, the large indoor but open hall due to its size and height. Naturally, it's an area for welcoming Rand guests, so unlike the back I was soaking undercover until just now, it's a flashy, luxurious interior that looks like the best of luxury.

But because me and Lily jumped in like meteorites, the floor would smash, the stone statue would fall, and the chandelier would crack, and it seemed awful.

"Ugh, welcome to my castle. I didn't mean to invite you here until I was cleaner."

"I'm sorry, I messed it up"

Even in such a rough entrance, Lily, who lets you bow gracefully in the center of the hall, is elegant enough to illuminate this luxurious castle, built just to show you, as if it had a true history.

This is indoor and her ability to fly is restricted. I can break through the wall and get out, but I won't miss that gap. Though it is quite large, in a place called within a delimited space, I have my share of being proximity resistant... but is this spare time for Lily, after all, that there is something I can spare to make up for it?

"But you're welcome. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, all of us."

Pattin, and as soon as Lily soared her fingers, a few rudimentary footsteps echoed into the hall.

What emerged from the simultaneous open door was, after all, the Homunculus soldier in a power suit on a rail rifle. Slip into the hall with a controlled movement like a special unit, and also stand in the corridor that takes to surround the second and third floors of the blowout.

Dozens of gunshots were coming at me at once.

"I didn't know you were this close."

"It takes a lot of people to create the ideal paradise."

I see, for Lily, homunculus means a convenient workforce that lets you carry stones for pyramid building? How smart you are, you only have two arms. It was only with their manual labor that I brought Disneyland to Shangri-La to its operational state at the very least.

But here we go. I really didn't know the Homncrus Corps was holding back.

"Fire."

Similar to Lily, who sets up her own double-crossed pistol, the loyal doll soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time as ordered.

With the rail gun thunder bullets that will kill you and Lily's beam in front of you, I have nothing better to avoid than being imperative.

"Damn -" Black Wall (Wall) "!

Let's get out of the hall, first of all, to take off the siege. This entrance hall is too wide to deal with a legion of homunculus in addition to Lily. It would be more convenient if it were a little narrower...

Run forward like diving through a ray, while activating defensive magic. Two walls are created to create narrow passages towards the escape route and the doors defined.

To this activation speed, this size. As much as that reduces strength, but if you stop the rail gun even one shot, that's enough.

I run down the path of my own shield as the sound of the vacuum and black magic walls being exposed to countless bullets and smashing them sounds loud.

"Whoa whoa!?

On the verge of jumping into the door, a beam of two muscles chased me from my back through the 'Black Wall (Wall)'. Lily's beam is not even this defensive or anything, but she instantly wipes out the walls of black magic.

"... abuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I rolled into the door at your place and escaped from the beam.

But it's too soon to feel safe. Soon Lily has decided to bring a bunch of her men after her.

"Damn, how many are there!

Or, at the end of the aisle out of the hall, a new Homncrus soldier appeared as early as possible to block his way.

"Out of the way!

Dive through the rail gun fire and forcibly break through. Even if I don't turn around, signs of Lily's immense magic put a burst of pressure on my back.

"Follow"

"Jesus, My Princess"

Enjoy the amusement park castle. It's an exciting situation for a child, but you don't feel comfortable living.

Anyway, without knowing the castle's detailed internal structure, I started walking at all costs to find a place in my favor.

How much time would I have spent running around the castle? I've defeated many Homncrus soldiers by force while on the run, but I can't see how their numbers will decrease. It won't be infinite, but it still seems to have a good number of people.

Besides, their performance is not something they could have fooled around with either. That powersuit-style gear apparently has the ability to really enhance physical abilities, and when I pulled out my sword and dealt with the guy who came slashed me, I realized that its power was about three times that of a normal human being.

In addition to simple physical abilities, what you do in battle is very different from "living corpses (living dead)" when I knew it. This performance would make each and every one comparable to a Rank 3 Adventurer.

If those guys get chased around in big numbers, and besides it's Lily who leads them... well, they didn't get caught.

Or maybe I was just inducted.

"Ha... ha... this is the throne room..."

Finally, the magnificent glimpse comes to an end. I ran up the stairs to the top floor, to the deepest room where there was no more escape.

The only room I could call the Throne Room, no matter where I saw it from, that I kicked through and rolled in the big, double-open doors. Still, I've seen the Royal Castle of Sparda and Mia's dreams and both of them for real, and I'm sure.

Again, because this room of thrones is also an area for the audience, like the entrance hall, no, it has a more flashy interior than that. Well, when it comes to the most luxurious place in the castle, the market has decided whether it's between the thrones or the dance hall.

Compared to here, Mia's black throne room seems like a terrible killing landscape. Now it's a space I don't want to be called again.

"You look just fine here."

"Is the chase over yet?

Following the triumphant knights, Lily gently appears between the thrones.

I stood right in front of the throne and watched the Homunculus soldiers form a siege in agile motion. Lily puts the door behind her and looks straight at me.

"Right, let's end it here"

"... hey, if Chrono sits in that seat and accepts me, it'll all be over soon"

I guess it's because I know my answer. He looked just a little sad, Lily said.

"Was this throne my seat?"

"Yeah, because Chrono is king of paradise"

"Lily's the queen, and I thought I was a slave."

"Ugh, I'm a slave to love, because I'm the one"

Totally, it's not a funny joke.

"Now it's still done, beautifully. I don't want to hurt Chrono and I don't want to suffer."

Neither do I. I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to suffer.

But more than that, my heart can't stand it.

"You only want me. I want you too. Mutual desires are never, ever incompatible. So we're fighting."

I don't want to leave. Me, too, Lily.

"Don't hesitate, Lily. Call me - if you want me, smash your hands and feet, but let me get it."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Chrono - because I'll fix your injury"

Lily laughed and gave her life for the simultaneous shooting.

There is no escape anymore.

I'm not even going to run away.

Because I've already arrived at a place the size of what I was looking for.

"Chant -" Horned Grave "-" Dark Temple of Anti-Soul Songs (Requiem Hall) ""

Grasp the pitch-black sword calling from the shadows backwards and stick it on the spot to the thoughtful floor. The blade of black curse pierced deep with a clear tone of kins to the floor...... and began to sing.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!

A woman screams, sounding all cracked between the thrones. The unpleasant screams that give you a terrible headache are, however, playing a definite melody.

And when you hear that tone, it's too late.

Because whoever hears her (Horned Grave) songs, they all go mad.

"Huh!? This is-"

Lily blocked her ears in front of the madness singing. Covering both ears with palms is just a pose, and it would be the brighter fairy junction (Oracle Field) that is actually blocking the curse song.

Again, it doesn't go through with Lily opponents. But how about the rest of them. At best, only a powered suit with enhanced physical abilities and some physical and magical resistance is armored, the Homncrus soldier.

"Whoa..."

"Ah, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

A homunculus soldier who suddenly screams. The muzzle, which was firmly pointed at me, swimmed as if I had lost sight of the flirtatious and the target, and the aim remained off course the day after tomorrow, firing.

The rifle they had on their hands erupted into flames simultaneously, as if to signal the shooting as a start.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Aaaaaaaa!!

All the quiet doll soldiers, who do not raise their voices other than their replies, shout out their screams and odd voices as if they had even touched their minds and shot the guns they had set up. The trigger is a full auto with no pull. I don't know how many rounds it's loaded, but it's swinging the flashing gun fire to the right to the left, even indiscriminately.

It's like we're fighting an invisible enemy, but, to be precise, everything around us looks like an enemy. Therefore, my companions standing next to me, my target, and even my Lord, Lily, have recognized me as an enemy to be killed equally.

Lily silenced the homunculus soldier, who tried to point him at the muzzle where he would be shot in the head shot.

"'Confusion (Panicos)' state anomaly... no, this, yes... you possessed the evil spirit"

"You're a boulder, you're right."

This Dark Temple of Anti-Soul Songs (Requiem Hall) is a new magic unleashed by dialogue with Horned Graves. Whether it is black magic or dark magic or necromancy, the classification is unclear, but it is definitely a kind of junction mediated by songs.

The effect is to create a vast area of uncleanness that generates evil spirits within the sounds of singing.

The evil spirits drifting on the spot, or summoned from nowhere, are enlivened by singing, and if the corpse is rolling, it immediately enters and becomes undead, and if there is one still alive, it possesses and causes him to lose his sanity.

Between the thrones where the shrouds of the tomb guard resounded, it was already seemingly thin that the translucent human form drifted with the ewes as if they were fish that made up the herd. The evil spirits that are materializing, if they touch Lily's light, will disappear quickly, they will play even if they approach me, and those who are fine will be fine.

But the Homunculus soldiers, who do not have the hands of mental defense such as this, on the contrary, possess both two and three overlapping, and instantly their minds and bodies are dominated by resentment.

"Now faithful knights are the same as wild undead monsters"

This is the 'living corpse (living dead)' measure that Lily can follow. Fiona was the last to lose the competition. I'm finished, too, if they attack me, and I'm as tough as I am with Lily right now to get attacked.

So I've got a plan that can get them all covered.

As long as this' Dark Temple of Anti-Soul Songs (Requiem Hall) 'continues to sound, Lily has to fight alone. The breadth between these thrones is just right for sounding the song and maintaining a strong bond. If reinforcements jump in through the door, they will immediately be trapped by evil spirits and lose control.

Now we can eliminate the intruders. Because it's just me and Lily, the two of us, who can stand here sane.

"Well, then, I don't need it anymore - suicide bombing (apoptosis) liberation"

Pa! and a dry burst sounded, and the head of the Homunculus soldiers blew up simultaneously. Smoke up and fall in from the skank and broken neck. The neckless corpse thus rolled was the function of a power suit, and the body left in sight was also broken down into white ash-like objects.

And then there's just a suit that stays clean and a pile of salacious ashes.

I disposed of it thoroughly. When I think of Ain, who spoke fluently, they should already be human like thought circuits and intelligent, but I didn't know they could kill without any hesitation... it would be the brutal side of Lily.

But there is no wonder and disgust. After all, I'm so sweet for Lily.

"There are no more interruptors. Here it is, just me and you...... let's go, Lily"

Grab a 'neck break' in your right hand and a 'dual eagle' in your left.

There is no protection for the Demon King. But as power gushes up from the depths of my soul, there is a pitch-black aura in my body.

"Come, Chrono. Take everything I have."

Lily set up two pistols, unchanged. Spread butterfly feathers and increase the radiance of the crimson fairy junction (Oracle Field) that surrounds you.

……

Silence. Relative between the thrones, me and Lily are perfectly still as time stops.

The truth is, you may think in your heart that if you want time to stop like this, you are terrified that the settlement ahead will come.

So this silence must be the last hesitation for each other.

And if you're ready for me and her, such a stray is a flash.

"- Break!!

I moved. From me, it moved.

Right in front of you is what you want from the bottom of your heart. Nothing gets lost. She's so close, isn't she?

Yeah, all I can see is Lily.
