Kuro no Maou

Bearing Dylan, I push for the top floor where the queen sits. That said, with my luggage, I'm changing positions with Sariel, turning to the rear guard of cover, so essentially, it's the two of Saliel and Brigitte who clear the way.

As we climbed up, mutant species also became more powerful to welcome us. Similar to white ants, white camels and white bees, and white spiders appeared, boasting a giant body of white crusts. White species with crust thickness that usually doubles the species are troublesome people who also play the 'The Gried' demon bullet. Target a soft spot or buzz off with a grenade. The rest is harassed by demon hands (bind arts). This is the only level of backup I can give Dylan.

But for the combination of Saliel and Brigitte, this level of coverage was too much.

Thick crusts without bullets also cleave and pierce their martial arts without difficulty.

If Brigitte waves a 'Crescent Moon Demon Knife (Shadow Moon)', even if she is surrounded by white kamakiri, like a silver armored helmet, she can be rounded up and truncated.

White spiders like stuck rocky mountains, too, if Saliel jumps into his nostalgia, smash his belly right through the bottom with the 'Rebellion Cross' and stop his breath root.

Just a little bit, with the degree of increased attack and defense, stopping those two is no match.

"... a monster."

"Yeah, Saliel's strong, but Brigitte's talking about it. It's pretty good, too. I think I can still afford it."

"Neither do you."

I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm just switching the demon bullet I blow off of The Grid to Sealed Cold Bullet (Cold Seal) and slamming off a bunch of white bees flying softly over my head with a bun. The white armor is thick, but they're not wacky about being resistant to temperature changes either. So even if it doesn't kill you, if you eat a bullet with the power of freezing, your feathers will freeze and fall. Because the flying area is delicate, it can be expected to be effective enough even with this much power.

A bee that can't fly in the sky is less than an ant. Once dropped, it's not a threat or anything, it's just an obstacle.

"Kishaaaaaaaaaa!"

Whoa, I can't be too distracted by all the anti-aircraft fire. From behind, a mixed unit of white ants and white kamakiri came to sandwich.

"Knock it down -" The Great Devil's Sword (Buster Sword Arts) ""

Jumping out of the flickering black cape Dream Bubble Shadow is a large sword x 10 made by the Stratos Blacksmith Workshop, infused with plenty of greedgore material. An even sturdy manly tough sword flies to slap off an enemy approaching my will.

A white crust that also plays demon bullets, but if a heavy sword that is as long as your height flies in at high speeds, you won't be safe. That's a small bullet and a real sword with a different mass in the first place. Although speed is not enough for a bullet, before its super weight and sharp blade, ants and kamakiri have no technique to make it up... or it's a surprisingly effective attack on its own. The number of enemies is decreasing with great momentum.

If this sword strikes directly, it will crush both white ants and white kamakiri. As many as ten of them can swing freely with just a little magic consumption. Oh, the Devil's Sword (Sword Arts) makes me wonder how convenient it was, with the black magic I knitted myself.

No, that and this would have been powerful with this great sword. Plain, even better maneuverability than a cheap sword. Perhaps the core part has a trick to amplify the density and sensitivity of black magic. It's totally a premise trick I use. I can't help but feel Mr. Leggin's artisan soul for this effect, which I can see for the first time using.

And so on, while I was impressed, the pinching unit behind me cleaned up.

"Chickshaw, is this the strength of Rank 5..."

Being incapable of fighting makes you feel weak, or Dylan shady crushing that up. I want you to stop saying things that are not very negative on people's backs.

We even kept going as we listened to Dylan talking to himself like that.

"Finally, the top floor."

"Yes, perhaps, ahead"

I kicked through numerous legions of bugs and finally got up to this point.

If you rush up a slope like a steep slope, stretching about 30 metres from the vast hall at once, you will finally arrive among the hive shaped queens.

"Come on, get ready, Queen Butterfly -"

And, when you get on board with a whim,

Leanne, Leanne, Lulililililililililili

A slightly clearer, higher tone woods the giant hive.

That is the signal of the Queen's total attack, which was made to be understood even if he did not like it, by a number of attack magics that have killed him with such density as to suppress space.

"Oh, this is no good, we're leaving"

In a hurry, turn your heels back and turn the slope back. At the critical point, escape their rays. A moment late, a massive amount of attack magic will land, causing a huge explosion. The flames, the ice, the thunder, the acid, the poison, everything was ants.

"If you thought the defense was weak, you would have rallied the forces of war in the nest among the queens"

That's how easy it was for us to get up here. They were all mutant species, but felt too few for the enemy's main circle. Again, the hunch is medium. The ones who have appeared on the road so far have been merely time-earning abandoned pawns to complete the defensive system among the queens.

In this way, a legion of bugs has been formed there, even with the collected defensive forces, the SS of the Queen.

I could only see what was going on inside, but still, it was enough to understand the situation.

During the Queen, it was a huge domed space. Considering that the Tokyo dome is roughly 100 meters in radius, it is likely to be about the same size. If Fiona and Lily hit one shot at a time with all their might, it would be an area that could be annihilated.

"After all, should I have brought you two"

"If 'The Golden Sun (All Soleil)' and 'Star Crash (Meteostrike)' burst simultaneously among the queens, the Central Hive itself is very likely to collapse"

After all, I'm glad it was just Sariel. Fiona, you know, let it go without thinking about it.

Worst of all, even if the nest collapses, we might be able to handle it, but Dylan might not be able to protect it. Besides, there's got to be other break-ins. You won't be able to involve a large number of allies just to take them down easily.

"But you're dealing with enough people to make that space an ippie, a frontal breakthrough"

There were a great number of worms among the queens. The Queen's SS also mixed quite a few variants, mainly white species, that had not yet been seen.

The guy who's unleashed flames, thunder, ice, and attribute attacks around here is largely a mutant.

From what I could see, a red sasori-shaped Luke Spider mutant was throwing up a flaming brace from his tail and mouth.

The purple nightmantis had long conical shapes, with both arms not sickles, like a charge lance, from which a thunderbolt was unleashed.

The blue and white bishopby was releasing chunks of cold air from his needleless tail. Shooting 'Sealed Cold Bullet (Cold Seal)' into him doesn't seem like he's going to fall.

The other guys, they each spit acid or fly poison.

As for power, things like lower to intermediate, but if you can get all those numbers in one place, you can't leave anything intact. "The Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian)" might be fine, but it doesn't make sense if I'm the only one safe.

"Master Chrono, I'll make my way."

Quietly, but with a caged voice of determination, Brigitte raised her name.

"As a black forest witch, this is the time when I should risk my life"

No matter how many brigittes, if you try to open a breakthrough with that great army alone in front of you, you're guaranteed to be injured. Life is in danger, too, normally.

But if she struggles and paves the way, I can make it pretty easy to follow. I'm sure, because Brigitte would cut the blood path to the Queen beautifully.

"If I do, I'll be delicious."

"I don't mind. I will serve as a witch. Besides... it would be the woman's job to devote herself to the Lord she fell in love with. Dear Chrono, if I may be of service to you, I look forward to it."

"Come on, Chrono, you could have gotten your hands on the witch."

"Wait, wait, let's not talk about that now. Seriously, let's not do this."

Hey, because it's not if you're having a blast with sex.

Or in the first place, I didn't do anything to Brigitte, and I refused properly. So Sariel, Ji won't stop staring at me.

"What's inconvenient to the master, never, I don't speak"

"That kind of thing, because I'm not looking for it now"

Oh, shit, why do I have to be swept away by this at the deepest end of Central Hive?

Anyway, let's get back on our minds and get back to Queen's offense.

"Brigitte's proposal is rejected. I can't put you in danger with just one person."

"So you're saying we should all equally meet dangerous eyes? Well, that sounds silly, rank five, but you're talking about a sweet kid."

Equality is not always a good thing. It is normal for an adventurer or a knight to have a situation where no one can survive without sacrificing someone.

Even this time, if one Brigitte puts up her body, perhaps, surely the Queen can take it. If we all storm head-on together poorly, there's a good chance of extra damage, and worst of all, nobody could be pushed back without getting to the queen. Clearly, we cannot hope for a definite crusade unless we have decided who to keep warm and to enslave the queen, that much.

"Nothing, I'm not a wacko who wants to take on the queen with his own hands. So we can't do it alone, and we don't have to fight."

"What does that mean?"

"Wait for other entry groups"

"Huh!? You're still an adventurer!

"Just because you're an adventurer, you don't always have to adventure."

I'm just saying, if this emergency quest is successfully fulfilled, that's fine. I've come all the way between the queens, just enough to be active, and the rewards will be pretty colorful.

Until I take the risk, my quest for the honor and maximum reward of the Queen's Crusade is truly unfit for me. In the first place, I'm not a gambler looking for thrills. He's a modern stability-oriented kid.

"That's the kind of wack, I wait. Until the other break-ins arrive, take a break. If you really want to challenge the Queen, I won't stop you."

"Shit, I don't have a choice... which way, I'm just useless. I don't think we can have a queen this time of year."

If Dylan is driven by greed and doesn't storm singles, he'll be relieved later.

"Dear Chrono, thank you for showing me around. Very, very happy."

And I just took safety precautions, but in vain, I earned favor from Brigitte. Hot gaze, very distressing.

"I don't talk about the inconvenience of the master"

"... yeah, already, so please"

Waiting that way, for an hour.

"Witch!

"Oh, isn't it Dylan? Have you really come this far?"

Almost at the same time, the Temple's penetration group, made up of Dolphins and elite knights, and a group of highly-ranked adventurers after a thousand gold grabs, came to the top floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for you"

"Hey, you guys, wasn't it late? I'm tired of waiting."

Brigitte, who handles things like an inn general, and Dylan, who slaps a light mouth at his peers.

While he was taking a break, he also totally fell out of the paralysis poison, and Dylan was dignified and benevolent on his feet. Your husband is feeling better and the dolphins look happy.

"Witch, what the hell is this situation? From what I've seen, it seems... relaxing for a long time."

"Hey Dylan, what if you're eating rice! Right in front of the queen!

I don't even know how they want to get stuck. But I don't.

A strong final line of defense by SS is being built among the queens, who are most welcome in the attack magic storm the moment they step in. On the contrary, if we don't even step in, they won't move.

The Queen will have lost quite a bit of gesture when the Central Hive offense begins. From him, you'd want to buy some time and create a new soldier.

Just because we're right next to the Queen, we know it's a wasted drain of war, even if we turn our troops halfway. That's why we're clearly defining a line of defense and making it thoroughly compliant.

So if we don't even climb the slopes that follow between the queens, even if we wait right near them like this, there's not a single ant coming at us.

Thanks to that, it was an extra break time. Spread the multi-stage heavy box lunch box, brought in by Sariel, we're all hitting the tongue drums. Both Brigitte and Dylan were intrigued by the different worlds of her cooking and the Japanese style of her cooking, and she told me that she was allekore when she ate the actual food.

If I noticed, from a harsh central hive offense, it was a mere picnic-like atmosphere. Have you been a little too relaxed? You were right not to have alcohol.

"I've been expecting you all here for a sure Queen crusade. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Ha, with the life of a witch, we are in the presence of risking our lives to carry it out!

It was not relaxing at all, in such a grand atmosphere, Brigitte declares against the assembled temple troops.

"Hey, you guys help out too. There's a bunch of mutant jerks among the queens. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get a chance to crusade the Queen!

"Heh, I'm going to do that from the beginning. The Queen wins early."

While Brigitte and Dylan were calling on their respective troops, me and Saliel sneaked out the spreading lunchbox.

I'll put my helmet back on, all right, now I'm ready to go in!

"Now, Master Chrono, let's come."

"Oh."

Look closely, there are thirty Temple Troops. Twenty adventurers. Altogether there are only fifty crusaders. But it is the fifty most elite men chosen. Too many members to argue for a worm queen.

"The Druids expand their boundaries! Between the queens, we're going in!

The decree of assault finally comes down, with Mistrea's witchy Brigitte as general, who is the most highly identifiable on this occasion and who also acknowledges the local adventurer.

Leanne, Leanne, Lulililililililililili

I can hear it again, the queen's chirping. You can't possibly not notice our proximity because we're roaring up and running up the slopes in grandeur.

From here on out, it's a total battle from the front.

In that moment of stepping between the queens, the already unleashed storm of furious attack magic. But now you don't have to run back. You don't have to avoid it or prevent it.

Already, the defensive junction of the Druids is complete.

"-" Deep Green Spirit Formation (Evergreen Court) ""

Glowing green and colorful Aurora defeats all imminent threats.

The great Aurora-shaped green light junction, covering a whole crusade of fifty, is one of the spiritual magic of the Druid. It was much smaller in size and output than The Four Seasons Spirits (Force Silhouette Garden), which surrounded Central Hive, and had no counterattack capability, but only combined defenses to prevent all of the ranged attacks emitted by both worms.

This is the only complete defense, so the other members can focus on the attack.

"Here, you can shoot - 'Charged Particle Cannon (Plasma Blaster)'"

"-" Heavenly Thunder Spear (GUNGNIL) ""

Me and Sariel's attack wears a relentless SS wall. Even the white species that plays the demon bullet will only become equally dusty if this grand moves forward. However, it is not enough to prevent the power, such as dozens of centimeters of crust.

But are boulders like SS with the strongest pawns? White Luke Spider, a guy dressed in crab-like lizard crusts, even bigger and more specialized in defense. Two or three of them served as shields to protect the queen by folding in front of two black thunderstorms emitted by me and Saliel.

I thought Queen Butterfly (Queen Butterfly), I could see the big blue butterfly feathers, the attack didn't reach the deepest part of the nest.

Still, I have succeeded in wearing it up to half the way.

And then, let me use this as a breakthrough, and let me push it.

"Go on with me! Assault!"

Brave assault orders sound. Lead Brigitte with the treasure sword Crescent Demon Knife (Shadowmoon), no, I'll stand further in front of it and be at the forefront of paving the way.

On the right hand side is "Absolute Grievance" "Neck Break" and on the left is "Raging Hunger Sword" "Extreme Bad Food". I don't know, the most calming, cursed sword duplicitous.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"!

Slash, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slay, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter,

The opponent feels no fear, an army of bugs. No matter how many mad warriors I bark and scream and slay, they keep attacking me without retreating a step. Damn, they're far more gutsy than the Crusaders, it's troublesome.

There's a guy coming out of the gap right after he unleashes his martial arts.

It's a shame, but it's their turn.

"-" The Great Devil's Sword (Buster Sword Arts) ""

In the gap between martial arts activation, a white kamakiri, whose reverse triangular head is slashed by shaking up a sickle as it slides in, a pitch-black sword descends like a headstand.

The length, thickness, and weight of its filling. If it is cut from above the head, it is not a simple slash of falling neck, etc., but is turned into such a shock that it crushes with a single blow from head to tail tip.

That adds up to ten. Heavy slaughter with a special blow poured all around me at once.

Smash all the bugs that have attacked you, and wipe them out further, opening the door. Regardless, by that time, it has also solved its rigidity.

Even when dealing with large numbers of people attacking from all directions, the maneuvers of the Devil's Sword (Sword Arts) and the freedom of manoeuvrability help greatly.

"The Great Devil's Sword (Buster Sword Arts)" crushes the robotically stained bugs that arrive one after another. A super heavy sword, but still an outstanding sense of manipulation. Rather, it weighs just about this much.

With the ten demon swords of the curse, I literally cut open the blood path, and I go even further for the queen.

I'm not the only one struggling, of course.

The Druid Squad, which has plunged directly into the enemy and almost stopped making sense of the junction, is switching to melee magic as the next hand.

That's the big tree doll that's daring to beat up a bunch of bugs. It is a spiritual magic, named 'Wood Golem'.

The tree giant, about three to four metres long, has the appearance that the green tree walked out into a human form as it was. For a magician-style Druid as a way of fighting, this wooden golem seems to be fundamental as a magic to deal with imminent enemies.

If that makes you an elite dolphin to be chosen for this Central Hive entry group, then ten or twenty is a treat. By all summoning ten or more Wood Golems, this number of people will instantly swell to more than triple.

And Wood Golem, formed by spiritual magic, is also a soldier fearless of death, only to faithfully execute orders. Woodgolem is at the forefront to stop the bugs, so the attacking knights and adventurers can safely stand around.

Most of all, I still keep running the lead, and I'm not counting on that favor.

Well, good, instead, Sariel's covering my blind spot. Basically, the only person who can follow me clearly in the avant-garde is Sariel, a knight-class swinging spear. I really appreciate the company I can keep my back with.

But this gratitude, how should it be communicated? If I were Lily, I wish I could stroke my head and adore my cat...... worried about the way I deal with Sariel, today. No, did it from the beginning?

Master, it's time to reach the Queen.

Sariel tells me quietly as I've been slashing on my selfless obsession.

Have you come to that already? It would be because Sariel's follow-ups and crusaders are united to ensure that he maintains his sides and cut paths.

Again, you were right not to be able to do it with a small number of people and rely on your people.

"All right, let's go all at once later"

Finally, the enemy is approaching the present, and the queen is in a hurry, before me I have three razor tails, and my front leg is scissored, I don't know if it's the earliest spider or the crab, Luke Spider stands up.

Under Soytes, a further four-armed nightmantis, on top of his arm turning into a thunderbolt-emitting lance.

And, I don't see it clearly, but quite a few of those transparent bishopbees are also peeking into the gap with Kosovo.

If we get past them, we'll meet the queen, at the deepest wall, pointlessly butterfly feathers that shine blue.

"Follow me, Saliel -" Demon King of Fire (Overdrive) ""

"Yes, Master"
