Kuro no Maou

"Phew."

Take away Halvard, knock in the blade as it is and finish.

We instantly defeated the two of them, but they're still in the middle of a coordinated attack. Immediately, a succeeding mechanical knight strikes with a full booster open.

"Raging Beat!"

Masterclass martial arts. It's a series of strike moves that wield the sole at super high speeds, with the destructive power of being dusted just by touching the blade. Heavy knights of all-body armor (Armor Knight) are powerful enemies who unleash gunning martial arts because they are the basic elite. Speaking of magic, the guy who can use the advanced 'Raging Beat' becomes even more limited among them. I've never seen much of it with manoeuvre experiments and Alsace and Galahad.

It seems to be a martial arts technique to be used with axes and mace, but Koitsu and the others are releasing it without difficulty with a long-lasting weapon Halvard. A stormy series of attacks strikes as they rotate a large halberd boasting steel weight at an awesome speed like a baton. That, too, comes from both directions at the same time.

"Ha ha -"

While standing in the middle of a vortex of wrapping destruction, I don't feel like hitting it.

A serial martial arts, can be avoided sparingly, either because of a determined move, or simply because it looks slow. At this rate and maneuver, there is no turning up of "The Thunder Demon King (Overaccelerator)" either.

The 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)' armor figure falls into the category of considerable heavy equipment, but if you use the Spirit Propulsion (Elemental Booster) on the back and the sub-thrusters that are available everywhere, sudden braking and rapid acceleration will also remain your thoughts. You gain the mobility to perform the impossible behavior on the human body alone, so you can dive through it lightly, as if you were dancing in a martial arts storm or a dance.

It was also worth getting bogged down in a pair of hands with Sariel. To keep up with her movements in the melee, we had to use Miriam's mobility in full booster. I feel the importance of daily practice again.

"Gang Big Strike (Hevi Metal Smash) Huh!!

And just as the fierce 'Raging Beat' rush is over and following the stiffness after the martial arts are activated, even the next mechanical knight knocks in his full martial arts.

Well trained, great collaboration, but if you want to tailor me, it won't talk unless you move three times faster than this.

"Ha ha ha ha!

Let's fight back. First, clean up the two Mechanical Knights that release "Gang Big Strike (Hevi Metal Smash)".

Avoid powerful martial arts that are destructive and not no damage to boulders if hit directly. It's falling to an angle that's going to fall as-is, but uses a sub-thruster here to maintain its posture, while adding more rotation.

While avoiding the opponent's attack, my Halvard Duplicant, with his added arm strength and thruster acceleration, accurately slaps two knights.

One strikes directly at the torso. Harvard's large blade, not martial arts, but knocked in with considerable power, cleaved to choke off thick armor. The blade tip had definitely reached the wearer inside and would have dimensioned its bowels to a snag.

The other was hitting the shield, whether it was strength or luck. The stubborn shield prevented my spinning slaughter, but I can't kill it until the knocked out shock. Though he painstakingly outdid the blow, the Armored Knight's guard is empty.

I guess he's not familiar with the way he fights rather than being used to manipulating around here where he can't leave the intermission with all the boosters open.

Even if I'm out of shape, I have a booster that gets propulsion, so I can take off the pinch if I blow it for now - though I don't have to bother lecturing you.

I will silence the knight with a blow to his brain. Reflections, do it in hell.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!

Next up are the two mechanical knights who gave me a series of strikes. He's retreating quickly with a boost dash, but he's still far and fast enough in time to chase. Blow the Spirit Propulsion (Elemental Booster) with the intention of stepping in the accelerator and make a rapid start.

Their booster and Miriam's booster simply make a huge difference in their propulsion as well. Acceleration and braking, and maximum speed are also much faster this way.

In the next moment, when the bright red phosphor of magic blows up on my back, I've made up my mind.

"Come on, fast!

"We'll prevent it - 'Steel Body (Iron Guard)'!

The two retreating guards against me storming in a straight line were guards by the Great Shield. As a knight with a shield in his armor helmet, it would be an optimal solution, but it would not be best to rely on the shield's defense when dealing with the same ancient armor enemy.

"Phew."

Two knights shoulder to shoulder, set up a large shield, and activate the martial arts of defense. Fully guarded, turned into a stubborn steel wall, frontal collision with my assault - on the verge of flying.

In addition to his own leg strength, if there is a booster momentum that erupts vertically like a rocket, he can jump as high and fast as a skilled assassin, even in this heavy full-body armor figure. Neither did they think the armor-headed guy was gonna make a big jump. There was a slight delay in restarting the shield overhead. And that becomes the deadly gap.

"Whoa."

Jumping over a mechanical knight in a retrograde outfit forward, I roll out each of my two handed halvards the moment I pass over its head. It's empty over my head. From the top, skewer the brain.

Harvard's sharp spear tip pierces his helmet with strength and pierces his roots with a breath.

The helmet was shattered like a scrap of paper, and the tip of his ear pierced his neck instead of his head, reaching to his chest.

"Raaaah!!

Throw the pierced knight with the landing. Already an immediate-dead knight blew away with a blue line of magical light running all over his body, rolling flashly down the meadow with a galangaran.

"Hey, what a guy... he's a mess"

"Power and speed, he's way up there!

"I didn't know you couldn't stand your teeth in this Armored Armor (Holy Gear), you monster"

Half my crew, six of them, got hit and finally figured out the difference in specs. Seeing as very unrivaled in the melee, it doesn't look like he'll be slaughtered again.

"Me! Abominable demon power, so much... retreat!!

Shit, for resenting me, he's a good judge. It would have been easier if there had been more blood on my head and a banzai assault. Are you saying that I still maintained my calm as commander?

"'Flashing (Flash)'!

"'White Smoke (Smoke)'!

At the same time, intense flashes of light are emitted, and bright white smoke, like fog, comes in. It's a good idea to have this kind of blinding magic.

Crush your eyes with flashing light and block your vision with a smokescreen, even if prevented. It's an effective routine, but my helmet is not Dada either.

"Reactor reaction, start projection"

At that moment, when my vision was blocked by light and smoke, a blue-shinning figure is reflected in the display of my sight, the helmet. Of course, the figure represents a mechanical knight.

The magical version of thermography, or should I say. Apparently, the helmet has the ability to sense the magic reaction characteristic of ancient armor, called the 'reactor reaction', even a convenient function to visualize and display it. A little harder, I feel like ordinary magicians and monsters could be clearly detected, but all around these systems are ancient language notations, so I can hardly go on understanding and deciphering... leave aside the stupidity, and now Miriam is showing me the ones distracted by smoke. Let me take advantage of it.

Let him go.

Zero vision, but no matter. Launch. On top of the target being visible, it's an unshielded field called Meadows, so it's fine to just run straight and chase it.

"What, he can see us..."

You're right, and instead of answering, I'm gonna slap Halvard hard on the booster unit on the back. Gagin! and the dull metal crushing sound, as well as the lost braking armor, fell in full swing with running momentum.

"'Demon Hand (Bind Arts)'"

From all parts of the armor, release the chains of pitch black as they erupt, and beat them to the fallen mechanical knight. Where appropriate, purge the chains. Now we have one man, a prisoner.

There are five remaining knights. Hopefully, their captain will be fine if we catch him alive. I don't know how much you resent me, but with Lily's "Thought Controller (Fairy Ring)," it's useless to just be mean.

From where I licked the spicy acid in the Battle of Alsace, let me ask you to wash up and throw up how you're dealing with me by wearing a new weapon in the prairie of Partier.

This ring was originally created by you guys. So there's no resistance to setting you up against the Crusaders.

"Shit, can't you shake it off!

They responded by releasing a grenade from their armguns at me in a sudden pursuit. But with so much resistance, it's not even a slight stumbling block to me.

It's not dumb enough to hit single-shot, uninterrupted range attack magic, and it's not yawdy enough to be frightened by a blast. If you were wearing Miriam in the first place, you wouldn't have said you had a direct hit.

"Wait, you've got a pile to ask."

I can see clearly the backs of the guys who run away, already pushing through the smokescreen range. Overwhelmingly good at speed, I'll narrow down the distance - all right, give me around here and I'll get it.

"Grr!?

Stretch out the demon hand (bind arts) and tangle up a captain plane marked with two horns and a cape.

Keep dragging him down and secure him.

"Please run, Captain! We're here!

So, a knight of my men broke the chain by waving Halvard. Unbind the captain plane.

He's a knight even if he rots. It's a fine loyalty, but it's a pain in the ass to turn to your enemies at times like this.

"Knock... sorry!

Looks like he looked back only once and hesitated to make the choice to sacrifice his men, but I guess this is what he decided was best and ready for. The captain plane runs away with all the boosters open.

Instead, the four surviving mechanical knights will flip on the spot and intercept me with unrelenting determination.

"Our faith and!

"With the pride of a knight!

"I won't let you through here!

"God, please give us the power to get rid of the demon king!!

I've decided to be ready to die, a knight's cry. I laughed at it foolishly and didn't feel like kicking it.

"The devil's king, or..."

I see, from their point of view, this' Tyrant Armor (Maximilian) 'certainly looks worthy of its name. In fact, he was a king.

"... okay, tyrant power, I hope I carve it into its body and go to hell"

I dare say that the audacious dialogue came out as if it met their expectations, did I also get drunk by the atmosphere or... the effect of Miriam's curse?

In the meantime, will you get on with it and say, "I'm the one" or something? That's a horrible curse.

But, well, fine. In the meantime, with the help of Miriam, let's deal with four Mechanical Knights.

- Apparently, he escaped into the temple.

He caught the 'info' sent by Lily after he slashed his hands and feet and strapped them in chains and rolled the four mechanical knights who were going crazy to attack him.

That captain let him go on purpose. Because I wanted to know where he was going.

Even though we can get information if we capture them, if the captain runs away and there are 'monastic' people ahead, we can also follow them further from there. Conversely, if the captain hadn't come running, the Knights of Machinery, who would not have returned as soon as they had gone out, would have decided that they had been wiped out and would have fled quickly.

It would have been more convenient for the captain to escape in order to follow the "monastic council" that entered the Partier.

So, I just ran out of transformation time, and Lily's hand is free, so I left the tail man to me. I can't fly in the sky if I'm in a toddler state, but if I really run, I get much faster. Not too late to be shaken off by a mechanical knight.

But besides my thoughts, Lily's pursuit ended early.

Now my left eye shows the ruins of an ancient temple that is about to collapse, standing in the woods with potpounds. Lily's left eye, the Black No-Eye Ball (Yville Eye), is still functional, and Lily and I can share Lily's vision exclusively with our left eye whenever we want to.

When I first found out, I thought it was mostly a stalking item, but when I get used to it, it's a great convenience commodity. If Lily goes too far away, telepathy won't reach her, and it helps at times like this.

"In the meantime... do they have to go unattended"

The detention of the Demon Hand (Bind Arts) persists for a while, and Kay is expected to come within it. There's nothing wrong with a mechanical knight captured like this if you keep him tied to the ground.

After shivering the blood-soaking scene, I headed straight to the temple in the nearby woods.

Originally, this place was used for them to get in and out, and if you follow the dirt path where the grass doesn't grow, you'll get there without getting lost.

"Ah, Chrono."

"What do you say, Lily?

In front of the temple, Lily waited lurking in the shade as she glistened. Does it make sense to be lurking?

"Stay in, you're not coming out."

"This could already be dead inside..."

For once, I have decided not to go in and wait. Because there is also the risk of an ambush.

However, it is also possible that if you do not come out without entering the ruins of a small temple on the verge of collapse, which is not suitable for the cage castle, you will commit suicide after disposing of the confidential information inside.

Or you think you're noticing a tail and using a secret loophole to escape?

Their Ajitos to catch alive, and did they get too greedy... well, come on in and you'll see.

"Okay, we're going in."

"Rika!

Get in and go through a single entrance while you're on guard.

As the exterior suggests, the interior is just not wide enough. Immediately after entering through the entrance, there is an open space, like a chapel, from which it leads to several rooms.

The hall was packed with food, weapons and other supplies for them to lurk here, and although it was an ancient ruin, there was still a sense of life.

"Chrono, look, look! There's a secret entrance!

"A hidden staircase in the basement... you mean you've been using it for a long time without even trying to hide it?

Behind a small room like a warehouse, Lily discovered a staircase leading to an open basement.

I'm not too familiar with the dungeons and ancient ruins tricks either, as I'm not a bandit, but it's obvious from an amateur's point of view that this was originally the type of staircase that was integrated with the floor and hidden. Had it remained hidden, it would have taken some time to discover it.

Now, is there a captain in this basement, or is the body rolling, or is there a secret way out to let him escape? Let's go make sure.

"- Warning. Ether contamination detection. Measuring… Detection complete, level 1"

As soon as I tried to get off, mysterious alarms and warning messages.

From what I've heard, it's as if it's been radioactive contamination.

"What's up, Miriam? What's ether contamination?

"If an ether contaminated area enters no, then the machine no performance (d) impedes the arrival of the fear realli"

"Are you that bad?

"Below level 2, mild no-contaminated area smelt, wearer, machine, co-d impact nashi - information disclosure. See hereinafter Saletasi"

"I can't read..."

Ancient language notation document data will be displayed on the display, which will be input to the helmet from the source. I can't read a single line, but I'll ask Simon and Lily about this later.

"Chrono, are you okay?

"In the meantime, they don't have an impact at level one, so it looks fine to keep going"

Usually Miriam can only speak through the voice function of the armor, so she can't talk very fluently. If you hear anything, you have to touch her curse directly in The Demon King of Love (Overecstasy)... but I don't really want to do it if I can because no risk is wacky either.

Even if Miriam herself is harmless, the curse is a curse. In particular, the 'Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian)' is quite powerful. Even I don't know when I'd be insane in my mind if I was in contact with her very cheaply, or when I'd be taken in by her curse will.

Maybe when I do, I will call myself the King of St. Avalon and the King of Doom, who is so doomed that I will seek to rebuild my country. Even in earlier fights, it felt strangely tense with the ancient armor against the opponent, and I think it was influenced by a lot more now. Something tells me he was laughing a little while fighting... seriously, let's be careful next time.

Regardless of the reflection, it seems to be ether contamination and mess, we decide to go underground.

Not even long down the stairs. I can't feel the signs of people, that is, the presence of a captain who would have fled in, surrounded by silence.

Again, even here is a secret way out, what a thought, but I stepped down to the basement, and there - I saw the white light.

"Huh!? Oh, my God, this is it."

"Wow, it's the white 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)'!

Lily was right, there was a white, shining 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)'. The dazzling light illuminates the basement, indicating that it is a gallanton with nothing else to do with this, but there is a strange divinity even with one shining tablet.

However, they are not compatible with the sacred white light that fascinates this viewer. Because when I'm here, I feel so restless and disgusting.

"Hey, I don't care what you think, I just think they're using" The Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle) "

"- Right, I'm stained with white magic. Perhaps you are controlling like 'blackening' with the ritual magic of the Cross"

Suddenly Lily, in a serious tone, seems to have returned only consciousness to adulthood.

"You're fucked. The captain escaped with a diversion."

"From what I've seen, only the Crucifix can use the metastasis function in this white state… I mean, the followers of the White God"

"If I can't get in, what happens?

"Well, why don't we just hit a hard stone slab? But I think it's better not to touch it cheaply because it just seems painful to us."

Whilst, something like an undead exposed to holy light? Why don't I smash it?

"Do they mean this white 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)'?"

Perhaps this stone tablet should have been normally black, too. Saul was made white by their hands.

"It's a very troublesome feature that only they can transfer... but there seems to be some other big purpose. The more you leave it, the more irrevocable something is."

Indeed, using the instantaneous movement of the transfer function, it is also possible to see the Crusaders appear in their own country at once. The tactical value is immeasurable.

Most importantly, the metastatic function is neither infinite nor unlimited. If we are to send in a large army, we need to let it deploy on a fairly large scale, and such methods have so far become impossible to activate.

So, like Lily said, I don't see how they're securing the 'beginning of history (zero chronicle)' just as a way out to get into an enemy country.

If you really want to use it as a route to infiltrate in secrecy, you don't have to go out of your way to work with the Thundershock Regiment (Lysanders) and rave about it, or instead it's the worst hand you can expose your own existence.

"Maybe the city of Hyram has a bigger 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)' than this. They wanted a sole, so they attacked on purpose, what a conspicuous imitation."

"I see... if you can whitewash Hyram's stone tablet, you're saying it's okay to be reclaimed by Partier later"

"If you didn't see it all over the city, it would be hidden somewhere. But is it right that once it's whitened, the magicians around it will curse it? Anyway, I guess it's impossible to put it back in black like it was."

"You're more likely to be left alone if you find a white one."

In the first place, "The Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)" is a common perception in the Pandora continent that is simply a stone tablet engraved with the legend of the Demon King. Only a very small number of people, including us, will know that it is an advanced information device, including metastatic functions, and that there are various other hidden magic features.

But we can do it.

"Can you undo him?

"Yeah, so... merge?

Lily, who for some reason seems a little embarrassed. Damn, she's cute. I don't think he fought a death battle between living and dying with such a pretty kid.

Honestly, it's a trembling level when I remember... but it's okay, I do, love Lily.

So, the answer is pretty much settled.

"Okay, okay. Then... let's go, Lily, it's a merger!

Thus, for the first time in a long time since Galahad, the Fairy Consortium (Excelion) was activated.
