Kuro no Maou

Damask, capital of Adamantoria. Adventurer Guild Damask Branch IV on its outskirts still reeks of alcohol today.

Barlog Abandoned Mine, a huge and abysmal dungeon representing the country, has several mining site sites to get inside. Among other things, the nearest large mining site trace from this guild branch has a high rate of discovery of fine mineral resources. Then, it was also a high-risk high-return place where more dangerous monsters were also more likely to emerge.

Speaking of adventurers going for such a dungeon, a desolate bastard with no orders, or one so stuck in the wings that he risked his life for a high income. Besides being a bearer of temper that isn't even calm, if that race were to call me a dwarf, it would already have dangerous signs that the air in the guild is always instant.

The inflexible Dwarf adventurers who stir up more alcoholic liquor for the sake of an indeterminate life tomorrow. Unlike those taverns, the doors of the fourth branch, with an unusually heavy and dangerous atmosphere, suddenly opened.

Byrne, and the moment the doors of both openings are deliberately opened, the giraffed gaze of the rough dwarves is simultaneously directed towards the entrance.

"Hey!"

There she was, a blonde girl bouncing like a dog ear. And then behind it, a brown-skinned girl like a dark elf.

Too poor a pair of girls, in conflict with the guild of slaughter, is only heterogeneous in this space, so much not at the level of being out of place at the earliest. But with all that out of the ordinary, a veteran Dwarf adventurer with a big cross wound on his face finally opened his mouth to Zukazuka and her stepping inside.

"Hey, you're back, ladies! Are you hurt?"

"As you can see. Kasuri, no scratches."

"I didn't dive that deep today, so it was an easy win, Dace"

The other Dwarves began to open their mouths one after the other to report the return of the smile.

"Shit, the way Leki fights is dangerous, just watch and you'll be worried"

"It's you or Leki. You're stronger."

"Oh, my God, it's you. You put black and white on it!

"Ur, there was a pretty big volcanic muckade in section 3B yesterday, so don't worry about it."

"Gahaha, if you find him, he'll run away."

"Oh, my God. Cora, on the table. Hey!

"Ha... this is still Ursai's today"

"It's busy, Death."

Leki and Ursula, with the return of the two adventurers, in the guild that was murderous, quickly turned into an atmosphere completely unchanged from those taverns there.

Two weeks early since the two of them came to this Adventurer Guild. Though the sun was still shallow, the two of them were now totally familiar with this guild and a little idyllic.

It was only when I first came here that a little unknown kid came, and no one dealt with me. Anyway, she only looks like a poor girl. Though it's the weapons I carry, I can't see how I worked out at all, ignorant and defenseless, I just thought I was just a kid.

No one ever put a little bite on it. Even if you don't do that, if you put it in the Ballog abandoned mine, you'll think of the adventurer's reality, even if you don't like it - and the fact that the two of them came home with Flame Oak's neck within that day makes the ratings change.

Now Leki and Ursula's chest has a lower rank 3 guild card that shines silver.

The strength that everyone has to admit and the adorable appearance that doesn't resemble that power at all. If you see them fight healthy, if you ever exchange words, you'll see the appeal.

And when they realized it, they quickly broke it off with the guild adventurers. The presence of Leki and Ursula may have seemed brilliant to them, living side by side with the danger of death and the dangerous adventurer operation of high risk high returns.

There's such a cute kid standing in the same place of death as ourselves, working hard. That too, if you ask me, is to feed the little children who have fled with me from the bad slave traders. You can cry, you can cry so much, I won't listen to you again today. The situation between the two was also a critical hit situation for Dwarves who were thick on their emotions, even if they didn't want to.

"Look, the little ones are gonna wait. Come on, let's go home."

"He's a souvenir, take it. And here, here, here, and here, too."

"I want to put this on Omake too!

"Thankyou!"

Leki leaves the guild to mix his nose with a bag filled with ready meat dishes on both sides. Ursula, following behind him, left with an elegant grace.

Going outside, the sun is sinking more than the other half into the Ballog Mountains, rapidly increasing in dimness from the reds of the sunset. The obscenely lined stone house is lit with potpouts and light by the window.

The neighborhood, which is also a fairly out-of-town suburb in Damask, is close to both abandoned mines as dungeons and mining sites in operation on active duty, bustling with adventurers and mining workers. Both, manpower is constantly being recruited. If you are satisfied with the five bodies, anyone can. Even if it is the children of the fugitive slaves that have flown from the margins.

Even the Lekies, who have no identity or back shield, couldn't be that hard to set up a residence in this place. Fortunately, some money is held by adventurer activity on the road and the retrieval of repelled rogues.

There are as many homes for mine workers as there are. As long as I had the money, it was quick to get a house the size of which the ten children could live in.

Over forty years of construction, the rain-leaking skimmer style is the usual borough shop, but now Leki and Ursula should go home.

"Hey! I'm right now, Death!

I'm home.

"Welcome back, Leki, Ursula"

Open the front door and Cruz will greet you with merit. Behind him, all the children gathered and raised their voices energetically.

"Welcome back, Sister Leki, Sister Ur!

It's the gift of Cruz's education, all of them, bowing properly. That, Leki and Ursula smiled joyfully, stroking their heads, hugging them and rejoicing in their safe return today.

"Souvenir Death, eat before it gets cold, Harry!

"Yay!

"Meat, meat!

With the Dwarf Adventurer's sack of gifts and souvenirs high up, Leki rushed to the living room with the kids excited about the scent of fragrant meat. The Cruz boy's novel that don't run because it makes dust doesn't seem to reach anyone's ear.

"You were a little early today."

"Yeah, because I didn't dive too deep. No big monsters."

Cruz and Ursula, which took the form of being left on the doorstep, gently discuss today's events.

"That's the safer part."

"I want to make some more money."

"I think I'm good enough as I am. I don't really want you to do anything dangerous."

It is only with the power of Leki and Ursula that we have a home, have a meal every day and save some money, albeit bent. It is the two great black pillars that support the family.

If something happens to both of us, it's a natural consequence that we all fall together. And adventurer start-up is also a dangerous job where you don't know when or what will happen.

"Cruz, is something wrong?

"I wonder if Lillian feels a little cold. It's not very airy here, so maybe it doesn't fit that kid's body"

Lillian is the youngest five-year-old girl among the children. The race is a half elf. A native of Cruz and his hometown, the Kingdom of Ortencia.

In Ortencia, an elf country, although there is no worse discrimination than it used to be, half-elf is still seen as low. It is not uncommon that Lillian, the half-elf, was sold as a slave.

"Yes, are you okay?

"Because I got my help today off, and I'm buying the medicine right"

"Ulu, are you still Death?

I'm going now.

Ursula and Cruz headed to everyone's waiting table with the look of calling from Leki who waited.

A discreet table just for the kids. It's a little rest finally gained after a long escape life. If it's to protect this place...... Leki and Ursula, who can work so hard, I'm sure, aren't kids anymore.

Life on the outskirts of Damask is stabilizing. But I'm not going to live here forever, Leki and Ursula.

Looking for the Chloe Priest...... its purpose is now completely distant, but the two never forgot for a moment. And in order to move forward to that end, we need to make sure that the children we protect can live without us.

I still didn't come up with a good idea of what exactly to do, but at least I know enough that I'm not going to be wacky that it would be good for them all to start working in this place. Aside from running adventurers. But it's also hard to do mine labor.

Even a powerless child, on top of that, it is Dwarf who works here. Even adult men in humans are as difficult to work in mines as Dwarves. Digging the pits, mining the ore, is no match for Dwarves. It's a pure race of poor abilities.

I am now interrupting various places as a help, but if I were to make enough money to be independent, it would be impossible to do it alone.

Anyway, if you want an environment where children can live decently alone, you want to move your living base to the center of Damask, the most prosperous capital. Wherever you go, it costs money. It's enough income to live, but I don't allow it to change the environment.

Therefore, Leki and Ursula decided to go down to the lower level of the Ballog Abandoned Mine and crusade for more expensive monsters at some risk.

"Yo, today's the day, Yardes!

"I'm ready to do whatever I can."

Spending a small amount of money, Leki and Ursula are now equipped as rank three adventurers they deserve.

Their presence as two adventurers has changed from monastic clothing to protective equipment worthy of each class. Leki tailored the leather armor, Ursula tailored the robe, taking advantage of the material of Fei Long's 'Wyburn', the biggest man he defeated on the road across Partier. Rank 3 Adventurer's protective equipment includes a higher category.

Leki's leather armor is only worn on the chest, hands and feet, and looks like a light warrior. Shoulders come out with sleeveless jackets and white thighs are dewy with hot pants underneath. It is decided that it is not fashion that increases exposure, but there is a sensory reason that the appearance of complexion is more sensitive and can detect both magic and signs. As Ursula, I'm secretly suspicious that I know and do my charm, but I don't dare say it.

Lighter armor with a focus on mobility, but the weapon in your hand is heavy-duty. Leki's main wapon is the sword and axe.

Black double-edged long sword 'Obsidian Sword' and red bladed battle axe 'Red Warrior'. There are no attributes, no magical additions (enchants), but both boast enough ruggedness to be wielded by Leki's powers. Leki already knew he could put his trust in an unbreakable weapon.

Ursula against is an authentic sorcerer style. The robe covering the entire body is gray, with an undecorative practical emphasis. A robe made with plenty of Wyburn leather and wing film feels slightly heavier on Ursula the impotent girl, but resistance to each attribute, of course, also has a pure physical defense. It is a protective tool with sufficient performance to protect the rear magician.

If you are a weapon, you have two short wands (wands) on the King's Road and a somewhat rare book of witchcraft (spellbooks).

Short Cane (Wand) "Crystal Alma" is nucleated by clear crystals like glass. It does not have attributes, it is a wand for magic practice rather than a weapon, which functions only with simple magic control and amplification. But for Ursula, it is more powerful to exercise the original magic (original), Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia), than to emit flames and thunder. The best way to stretch your biggest weapon is to bottom up your ability to handle your own magic.

The Magic Book (spellbook) is also a practice type called "General Theory". This book is a set of magic formations and spells so that various junior magic can be exercised only with magic and simple chants.

In terms of combat, 'Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia)' is sufficient only, but in proceeding with the dungeon, some survival abilities as well as battles are required. Light fires, light lights, secure drinking water, and even simple first aid cure magic. Ursula's magic has continued to grow gnarly since she was trained by Chloe, and with even more intelligentness before her, it was the easiest way to use the Magic Book (spellbook).

As such, Leki and Ursula, ready to go, entered the Ballog Abandoned Mine willingly.

It's a dungeon I've been attending every day here lately. The upper layers, of course, are completely grasped up to the middle.

"Quoo..."

Fifteen minutes into the pit, roaring like a heavy breathing noise is here the familiar rank 1 monster, Sandrais. That voice, which echoed, was the only way to tell how many there were.

"It's not a big number, it breaks through all at once."

"Aurai!

Rushing out, Leki grabs a black sword 'Obsidansword' in his right hand and a red axe 'Red Warrior' in his left hand, and plunges into a flock of sundresses that stands as a dozen herds.

The man-shaped sandrace, whose body consists of sand, is slightly stiffer compared to skeletons and zombies, but in front of Leki's power and sturdy weapons, the egg shell is equally brittle. It exerts incredible power from its bright white slender arms, and the sword and axe strike out a stormy streak.

Sandrais is cut off one after the other as he raises a huge splash of sand instead of blood. Sandy ghosts who are severed from their torso and limbs, blown away with momentum, and quickly block the way are eliminated.

Today it means we're after the big guy, so if the road opens up, we can just get through. Now the two headed further into the back of the pit to leave the Sandrays, who were not even sooner in their feet.

Then, repeatedly defeating and hiding against the familiar underground monsters, the two finally descended to such depth that they had never stepped in before.

"This is still the middle tier, but the monsters will be stronger from here on out," he said.

"Huh, a thousand bucks, Gold Rush!

Pinch a small pause, then temper and challenge the attack in the second half of the middle range.

As information suggests, more powerful individuals emerge from this neighborhood, even if it's just Sandrais. Monsters such as bats, spiders and worms were also becoming larger because of their intense magic influence.

However, to the extent that we have made some enhancements or sizing up, we are still short on the two opponents. It's no different to being a battle-accustomed monster, all torn apart by Leki's blow, and if Ursula's Drain's arm strokes him, he falls.

"Huh, more than I thought, no big deal, Death"

"At this rate, we're going to get down to the lower realm."

It was when the tension that had been tightening was loosening slightly in the winning streak.

"... it's not on the map here."

"Fuh!? also, could be, lost death!?

Suddenly, it plugs into a large open space and Ursula single-handedly says the map. Faced with a problem that could not be solved by the power of being lost, Leki stares at her partner with a dazzling eye.

Ursula silently compared the map to the surrounding terrain and opened her mouth again.

"I have a map. The road I've come through, no doubt. But this big place isn't on the map."

"White? Such a big place, why the unwritten Death"

It can't possibly be overlooked. The map in hand is also the latest edition of the Galahad Abandoned Mine Map, which cost 3,000 clans.

Still, this huge amount of space is unlisted...

"Lately, I've just been able to"

"Oh, well, then..."

Gi, gi, gi, gi yeeee!!

The answers appeared on their own before the two of them answered each other. I mean, the monster who created this huge space.

The sole crawls out of the ground, echoing the oddity of a graffiti treble with eyes all over the rocky space.

It's a giant mukade of dozens of meters.

The appearance of a reddish magma-like pattern emerged on a disgusting brown crust, even at first sight, with conjecture as to its identity.

"It's" Ravagigant Speed "!

"Uh, well, Sole isn't out here yet, haz. Bye!?

Speaking of which, during this time, I heard information that the ravagigant pead was witnessed in section 3B, i.e. around slightly below the middle ground. Normally, a Hazard Rank 4 monster Ravagigant Pead emerges from the lower realm. That, too, was said to be larger in size than normal, with some vigilance being called for even in the guild.

But there is nothing more to encounter than bad luck than information.

And if a runaway adventurer is hit by these misfortunes, there is no other way than 'death' unless it happens even by miracle.

"Leki... I just have to do it"

"Jesus, Ur. I've been looking for these big guys, Death."

Leki and Ursula are no stranger to being children who are still less than adults and runaways who have deluded their age into becoming adventurers. But you two don't need a miracle.

They already have the power to open their own destiny.

"Go, fire!!

"Go," Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia) ""

Along with explosive warfare, Ursula emits a slender, reddish lech and a bright white thick mist that gives you a chilly feeling.

Before the girl with great power, the great Mukade, who is just a monster, has no affront, no mercy, and strips his fangs to the two prey with his whole body -

Sounding at the bottom of the earth, the ambition of the girls and the roar of the monsters. The battle between the combination of Leki and Ursula and Ravagigampid was extremely intense.

"Ugaaaaaaaaaa!"

Raising a beastly voice is not a beast-shaped monster, Leki. With his rotten crimson eyes shining, he slaps the red axe 'Red Warrior', held by both hands, onto the ground at his feet, no, to the crust of the ravagigant pead on its back.

Gyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

The metallic crust is heavily crushed and a scorching fluid erupts. On the newly carved wound, the great mukade twists its great body as it screams.

"Wow! Come on, you're gonna fall for this. - Death!

On a rumbling muckade, Leki puts her hands and feet on the irregularities of her crust and endures not to be shaken down. I struggled to climb this far.

The limits of health are also close. But the opponent is also full of creativity.

Leki's attack has broken the crust of the Great Mukade into pieces and turned it into a full-body bloodstain with magma-like fluids. Although the wounds and bleeding are strong, they have not yet resulted in fatal injuries.

In order to defeat them, we need to hit the big moves.

Only Ursula's special attack, the White Stream Gun (White Breath), has that much power.

"Woo, hurry up and be nice -"

"Leki!"

As Ursula's cry reached her ears, Leki also guessed. Hot sensation, like burning skin with chili.

Before coming, I thought, Leki jumped to the top with all her might.

BOOOOOOOO!

A bright red hot air blows from all over Ravagigant Pead. It's a range of threats to burn the approached opponent together.

A troublesome scorching gas injection, which we have seen many times since the beginning of the war, but with its signs of firing Leki is a beastly intuition, Ursula can be perceived by sharp magical perception at critical times that can be managed to be addressed.

But if you make a mistake, lethal damage is inevitable, even if the hot air is relentlessly pounding all over your body and you are becoming a stubborn flesh with no half-breed blades or magic. Leki managed to succeed again this time, avoiding such a contour.

"Fawlin, down!!

Turn the big jump to escape the high heat gas that is ejected into a falling attack from the air as it is. Shake up 'Red Warrior' on the big upper level, toward the head of the big muckade - a pounding all over you.

Giggy!

Brain heaven, aside from whether the expression is accurate, a blade of deep red axe devours the head of the great muckade. The knockout destructive power runs the vacillation and the big crack to the head crust.

But no damage has gone through to the brain. Ravagigant Speed is still moving.

"This..."

It's quicker to pull out the sword you carried than to pull out the axe you devoured deeply into your head.

Leki pulled a knife to flow through the 'Obsidan Sword' and decided to pursue it, even as he felt the signs of gas injection he felt again.

"Daryi!!

Cut your face like a jump from your head. The black blade was poked into the giant right eye on the face of the great muckade.

As it was, he tore his big eyeballs deep into a single vertical letter as he fell down.

Giggyyyyyyy!!

I guess being hit in the eye hurts a lot more than being cracked in the crust. Greater Mukade screamed even more tall than before, and he was tremendously upside down.

"Urgh!"

Even if you don't tell me, Ursula's ready.

Vijon, the white woman rising behind her little girlfriend, has four hands together and set the mark.

"Erase it -" White Stream Gun (White Breath) "Huh!!

Intense 'absorption (drain)' runoff, emitted from Ursula. A whirlwinding blow like a bright white tornado slammed the body of a ravagigant pead against the pain.

Already, 'White Stream Cannon (White Brace)' has been released three times. The first time was avoided, and the second and third stayed somewhat to shred that body.

This fourth blow will be the last for Ursula.

When I first shot this one, it was so drained that it seemed like it was going to fall, but I was able to continue the fight for four consecutive rounds because it has grown into a magical amount that crosses the line of sorcerers, but it is late. But still, the fuel consumption of the White Stream Gun (White Breath) is poor.

If you take this off, there won't be any later. So squeeze the remaining magic and slap all of it on the big muckade -

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

Fulfilling, Ravagigant Pead did not fall.

The whole body is deeply engraved with traces of a direct hit by the 'White Stream Gun (White Brace)', more worn out than a full-blown creation.

But it still didn't fall.

Even as he screamed and his whole body was about to be cut off, Ravagigant Pead snorted desperately - diving into the ground.

"Phaaaaaaaa!? To, run away!!

"Liar... run away here or something... fuck..."

Ravagigantopide escaped. Even if they were two little girls, Big Mukade, a wild monster, admitted to being a life-threatening danger to himself, chose to escape without shame or outrage. There is no pride, but that is why we can obtain the most sensible result of survival.

"Nooo! Leki's struggle isn't water bubbly, Death! Yader!"

"Huh... I just have to give up... at least pick up the detached crust..."

I hunted down the big guy, the strength of the two is real.

But his prowess as such an adventurer, not letting the monster of his hand escape and defeat him, still seemed to be in the future.

That's how the Ravagigant Pead battle ended with a very unfortunate outcome. But the bad luck for both of us was waiting at home to go home to.

"Leki! Ursula!

Cruz, who is usually supposed to wait in the front door, was outside today. With a look that can't hide the feeling of impatience, I have a bad feeling about calling the two of us.

"Cruz, what's wrong, Death?"

"Something... happened?

"Sorry... mine, it's my mistake..."

Cruz, who ran over to the two of us, looks pretty messed up.

"Calm down, talk to me. What happened?"

Ursula asked calmly and Cruz exhaled loudly before finally telling the story.

"Lillian was captured... maybe by a slave trader..."

One of the children I was protecting was lost. It was the end of rest, finally gained in the damask.
