Kuro no Maou

"I am Lionel Leogeiger, chief of the family of the Great Fang, the Beast King of Varna!!

Highly barking, white-haired Lion Beast Man (Warrigger) Lionel. Not only does that voice sound loud, but I feel like I can tap into the signs of magic that make my body feel billy as if it were trembling.

I've never seen it before, but they say that there are spiritual magics that do have the effect of freaking out the other person, such as' intimidation 'or' fear '. Lionel's shout probably includes that effect.

Well, the effect of this te doesn't appear as effective against those who are more powerful than reciprocal or who have a strong heart. There's no reason for me to freak you out on purpose here.

"My name is Chrono. Not a guy named Gashley."

"Come, come!

Is it a fluent to keep your name and not ask the other person's name?

Lionel is in a totally combat position. I don't even care about a biological warrior or his teh type to the extent that he called out to concentrate on the battle. Instead, from Lionel's point of view, I'm perceived as an enemy, so it's possible that you're intentionally ignoring me to avoid confusion, even if I say something just to your mouth.

What a nasty person to look at. I'd say I stuck my neck in trouble myself.

"Ha ha!

With a sharp exhalation, Lionel jumps to one foot.

Coming towards me without hesitation in a roar and flattening would mean that I have not made the intimidating effect from Hannah to Ate. It may be more of an intrinsic magic (extra) kind that activates on its own when it screams rather than being activated as magic.

Anyway, while Lionel is a giant body, he strikes at me with tremendous speed. He comes from over my head, holding his fist, precisely because of his agility, which should be called a cat beast. Isn't that a scratch attack...

"Hum!"

Escape the punch in the backstep for one second. Lionel's fist, slapped against the dirt pavement, was running vacillating and cracking as it was.

As matchy as it looks, no, more power than it looks resides in its successful arms. I don't want to hit you directly on your own.

"Missed!

Switching may be quick. Already Lionel is crawling through the ground, flying wide behind me and filling in time for me.

"'Black Wall (Wall)'"

If it were normal, you'd be after the counter and I'd be attacking you, too, but the other guy's just attacking me with a mistake. I want to hold it down intact and painless so that it won't be a problem later.

Therefore, before Lionel suddenly looms, the option I can take is a passive one of defense for now.

Nevertheless, if you put up a black magic wall in this not even wide alley, that's not all you can do to make a cage and lock it up.

"Fuhaha, think I can stop you with this stuff!

With the mighty scream, Lionel breaks down the wall of dokan and black magic into it. Were the walls not strong enough? I should have been more in the mood to make it 'Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth)'.

Nevertheless, Lionel's power is equivalent to coming gently through 'Black Wall (Wall)' with one tackle shot. If you want to restrain him, you should tie him up somewhat tight but relentlessly.

"Help, Sheep -" Demon Hand (Bind Arts) ""

"I'll take care of it, sir! Speaking of binding sheep, speaking of sheep, binding. This underworld flow tightening technique is made into a magnificent sheep's gorgeous and bold tentacles."

"Just do it quick."

Sheep, I haven't been around much lately, so it's been a long time since I've been called up and strained. I feel the puppy cuteness of shaking a tail boom and rejoicing, but with the super-powered Lion Beast Man (Warrigger) looming in front of me, I want that shaker to give me a break.

"Ugh!? This is-"

First, the black chain of "Demon Hands (Bind Arts)" I unleashed is intertwined with Jalajara and Lionel. Dozens of chains tied up the successful giant body and somehow stopped the progression.

"Eh, like chains, don't think you can tie a lion! Mun!!

But Lionel, with his temper, begins to move on again in his power. My 'Demon Hand (Bind Arts)' raises a critical crease every step, two steps, and if he waves his body even bigger, he finally gets a crack in the chain.

I didn't expect this to be broken by force either.

But if we can stop moving this far, we've had enough.

"Yes, everyone in 'Serpent (Orochi)', go Yikes!

Sheep activated "Demon Hand (Bind Arts)/Serpent (Orochi)" and one, two, three black, wild tentacle snakes... totaled six, killing them to Lionel, who was pulling the chain ties and chopping them.

"Whoa, whoa!?

The six "serpents (Orochi)" lift their bodies into the air, entangled in gnaws to cover Lionel's large body.

Even with power, if you don't have feet on the ground, you won't be able to step on them. To remove this restraint, the bone will break.

"All the time, Gashley. Try to capture this eagle without even using your fists, and make it approximate to insult it! On getting there, I have to be serious too -"

"Again, I'm not Gashley, and I don't know anything about Soytz"

And while Lionel was tangled up in serpents and jittering in the air, I finally got enough room to take my guild card out of my chest and just introduce myself again.

"It's Chrono from the Rank Five Adventurer Party, Element Master."

"... what"

Lionel turns upside down in the universe, but the gaze of a rugged lion concentrates on my Mithrill's guild card.

"To Sarawyn, I just got here today, and it's my first time visiting. I don't know what causes the Lion Beast Man (Warrigger) and the Judgment Arrow... but I also had a wack and was just starting to investigate the Judgment Arrow. Let me know what's going on."

Now, will you convince me that this is a misunderstanding, or will it go further upside down with just a slip of speech? If this doesn't work, I'll have to let him pass out on Thunder Cannon (Shockbuster) and get away with it.

"Well, you say Chrono, not Gashley."

"Oh."

"... you 'arrow of judgment' all the time! I can't forgive you for deceiving this eagle!!

No, you're not fooling me, are you? Maybe the faithful man who called me Gashley was seriously mistaken. You think they look alike.

So, Lionel peddled that, too, so I guess he's half responsible for the mistake. I mean, I said "no" instantly, didn't I?

"Oh, they're terrible."

But it's a pain in the ass, so it was me who decided to get on with Lionel's policy. Because honesty is not always the best.

"I am Lionel Leogeiger, chief of the family of the Great Fang, the Beast King of Varna!!

Lionel introduces herself again, word for word, as she illusorily did in time.

"My name is Irma, my samurai"

"My name is Elma"

The two beasts are also now taking off their hoods and revealing their faces. After all, he was a Lion Beast Man (Warrigger), just like Lionel.

However, the fur colors are brown and grey, respectively. The Lion Beast Man (Warrigger) has a strong face with kemono ingredients compared to the Cat Beast Man (Warcat), so it's hard to tell the expression or something, but the two feel quite young and beautiful. By the way, they have similar names, but they're not sisters.

"I'm Chrono. This is the same party member."

"Sariel, he's a slave."

I guess I just wanted you to name me there......

In the meantime, we successfully solved the misunderstanding, so we moved the place from the alley to the restaurant where they were headed.

After the noise, Sariel and I are also merging. In other words, around the time I fought Lionel, Saliel heard the sound of the battle and rushed me fast.

"Hmm, don't you have a pretty good girl? But you can't lose, either, because you're Varna's best colored man!

"No, Lady Rai"

"Play."

Lionel puts a little bit on a samurai who lets her sit down to hold her by both sides. What is this, what kind of appeal?

"... Master"

Sariel, sitting next to me, leaned over me slightly.

"No, no, you don't have to fight it"

I don't want to brag about Harlem. I can't do such a horrible thing.

"Come on, let's start with rice. Don't hesitate, eat as much as you like!

The apology is luxurious, so let's be honest and sweet. If you're aware, it's just lunch time.

But I'm glad Fiona's not here, Lionel. Gahaha, and laughing luxuriously all over ordering, but what would have happened if she had.

In the meantime, both me and Saliel have a legitimate amount of meals at a time, so I'm going to flatten the dish as much as I've been carried. Meat dishes are still the focus because of what the Lion Beast Man (Warrigger) is asking for.

Many thick pieces of meat emerged from the luxury snake meat steak eaten at Morrigan, and some of them were like faithful reproductions of cartoon meat, with thick bones passing through the middle of a chunk of cylindrical meat. What kind of meat is he, and what part is he?

While I doubt it, let's just say it was delicious. But is snake steak better for flavoring? Again, the difference in spices is huge.

"Phew, I ate, I ate!

Lionel, who is gratified to be a gdane in his seat, is so daunted that he seems to take a nap as it is. Would it make sense to say to the lion that if I ate it and went to bed immediately, I would become a cow, etc?

"Whoa, you can't go to bed like this. So, Chrono, I thought you said you were the last person to come here today. Um, where do I start?"

Lionel talked pompous, even as he worried that he wasn't very good at explaining it properly.

"First of all, do you know about the Varna Hundred Beasts Alliance and the Three Great Families?

"Yeah, the overview."

It is the Babybeast Alliance that unites all the tribes that inhabit the Varna Forest Sea, and there are three main clans in that tribe in particular.

Warrigger's "The Great Fang Family".

Lizardman's "The Great Claw Family".

"The Great Horn Family" in Minotaur.

These are called the three great families.

"How could the chief of that" Great Fang Clan "be in Sarawyn?

"Actually, I'm not a sheik."

"Yes?"

"Hey, it's an old habit! When you name it, you run with the chief, Nuhahahaha!!

"Lady Rai already."

"But that place is wild and nice!

No, it's not every laugh, and it's not going to be a compliment. It's a fraud.

"So what about the current chief?

"He's not my son. Did you give in ten years ago? Pushing the work of a troublesome sheik, I'm not a leisurely recluse."

Ha-ha-ha, he's laughing again, but from the son of the current chief, I still don't think he's laughing.

But you're wacky that you could have left the tribe so gently to come all the way to Sarawyn because you're leaving the line?

"So, what is the cause of the 'arrow of judgment'?

"Um, actually, there's been a lot of disappearances lately that I think have been caught by them..."

There have been successive missing persons, young and old, here in the Varna Forest Sea lately, he said. Among them, it is frequent in the area ruled by the "Great Fang Clan".

They hunt monsters and feed their lives when they divide them into woods like adventurers, sometimes with some victims or missing persons. However, the number of accidents in which monsters simply attacked and detached, shipwrecked in the deep woods, and so on is known. There are obviously many cases where those who went out do not return, statistically speaking.

"Sometimes the hunter can't go back, there's no choice. But from hunting women and children to old men, there are missing people... he stinks no matter how blunt his nose is."

Sure, then you might be right to call it an obviously man-made case of disappearance, no, kidnapping.

"So, just checking it out, 'The Judge's Arrow' isn't a wacko that our mons were just starting to disappear from around the corner where they started to choke."

From one day on, the Blue Robe guys named "The Arrow of Judgement" appeared in the settlements of each tribe.

The purpose is a legitimate adventurer activity of hunting monsters to obtain fur materials in a dungeon designated area in the Varna Forest Sea. To challenge the dungeons of the Varna Forest Sea, it is not uncommon for adventurers to use the settlement as a base. Rather, the natural interaction, which has been going on in this region for hundreds of years.

Their party composition is no different from ordinary adventurers, such as armored warriors, leather armored archers, magicians in robes, etc. But it seems obvious that one or more of the party members must have a mix of Blue Robe guys who are trademarks, so it's a party seconded by The Judge's Arrow.

"At first, I thought the strange guys showed up, but I didn't have to rub anything in particular, and I didn't have any problems in any settlement"

Even within the dungeon, they don't see anything suspicious about it. In fact, crusading monsters also reports properly to the Alliance and obtains material after due process.

If you talk to them in person, it seems that most non-Blue Robe members are adventurers hired in and around Sarawyn.

"That blue guy isn't the only believer. But they use some special enhancement magic. They say this is the power of God they believe in, Nantka."

What a frigid smell, but thanks to its enhanced magic, it was able to tailor a big man who couldn't be defeated normally, etc., once combined with the adventurer, it seems well received. These days, more and more people have begun to become exclusively dedicated to "The Arrow of Judgment," and even more so to those who go to incoming?

"They still don't get one fight, either with us or with the other tribes. But at the same time they showed up, it's also true that the missing people started coming out. And it's getting worse and worse these days"

"You're the ones who don't really show their tails. But if you have eyeballs, you checked them out, didn't you?

"That being the case, I sent many hand-worked warriors and hunters to tail them home from work. But... disappear."

"Disappear? No way -"

"Um, they disappear neglectfully, as if they even used the magic of metastasis"

Oh, my God. If I can transfer freely with the power of Monolith, I can work all I want with evil and such. At least, there is no magic or ritual device of transfer in the magic technology of the Pandora continent. If there is, it activates accidentally in a dungeon of ancient ruins, or as much as it is planted as a trap.

Exceptions know how to use Monolith, just us and the Crusaders.

"Is it really metastatic magic? Didn't the white light shine when you disappeared?

"I saw the light, there's no such report. Even a magician sharp in magic detection said he didn't feel any signs that magic would activate. The moment my vision was blocked, the shadow I was chasing disappeared to blur."

If you want to jump into and transfer a monolith stained with white magic, it should always emit white light. However, Lily has already mastered the magic of "Mirrorgate", which is exclusive to Distinyland and is freely transferred by the mirror. There would be a possibility of metastatic magic that would be available arbitrarily within a certain range, not via monoliths.

"If you're really transferring, do you mean you're flying directly to your base in Sarawyn"

"Um, I just successfully sprinkled the tail, and their base is cracked. In addition to that fur shop, there are stores and warehouses that they rent everywhere... in fact, we already have the investigation."

That too, twice.

For the first time, Sarawyn's security forces entered the "Arrow of Judgement" related facility to cooperate in the search for missing persons occurring in the Alliance area.

The second time, through a rather unscrupulous request, a joint investigation team of the three clans entered the facility as well and thoroughly examined it.

"But you mean nothing came up"

"Regrettably, they're based somewhere else."

Keeping people hidden is a big deal. That becomes more difficult the more the number of people.

Combining all the missing persons in the alliance zone so far, he said, would bring nearly a hundred more. To accommodate such a large number of people would be a sizeable facility. If, even if you are truly sacrificing and killing, you will continue to kill as many as a hundred people on an ongoing basis, then people's entry and exit are still inevitable and should stand out accordingly.

No, is that why it's a metastasis?

If even in the corners of the continent, far from the Varna Forest Sea, there were altars of their sacrifice, it would be practically impossible to reach them, apart from boarding them directly with a transfer.

"Master, at this stage, metastases are not necessarily used"

"Sure, so is that"

I have already used it many times, and it has been used by the other party, so I thought about it with metastatic magic. But normally, it should take suspicion of advanced cover-ups and illusion lines.

"The eagle thinks their hiding base is bound to be somewhere in the Varna Forest. Between Sarawin and the realm of my tribe."

"Is that, on any grounds?

"Kannya!

Well, guess what. It makes sense.

"The enemy is lurking right around the corner. But I'm in trouble because no matter how much I look for it, I can't find it. No, I'm in a hurry now rather than in trouble."

"If you think of the person who got caught, I know you want it back soon."

"As a former chief, I am also willing to lead my tribal compatriots. But right now, I'm only moving with my personal feelings."

"... Could it be that your body?

"My last daughter was captured. No, you should have said you were captured."

In the meantime, Lionel's daughter, worried about the status quo in which missing persons continue to emerge just like him, says she took some of the tribal warriors and went out independently to track down the 'arrow of judgment'.

Lionel, who noticed her daughter behaving herself, rushed after her… thinking that her daughter had moved on, the trace broke off perfectly along the way, untraceable. And my daughter still doesn't come back to the settlement with the warriors. And any sightings in the neighborhood.

"I see, so, you were trying to force me to catch a believer and get him to spit information"

"I know a hundred things that are illegal as investigations. But at the earliest possible time, a werewolf who is not a chief is merely a jizzy of lion beasts (Warrigger). Even if you hit hard and get caught by Sarawyn's security forces, you won't be bothered by The Fang Clan."

"Oh, Master Rai!

"You are well prepared!

What a sympathetic position and action, but subtly frigid because of the somewhat deliberate surrounding remarks.

No, but if my pretty daughter was harmed, it would be natural for her to be unable to stay or not.

"Adventurer Chrono, I've told you so much about the situation because I want to ask you to fold in."

Once in a while, Lionel says, a samurai sitting beside him gives him a paper and a feather pen that he is familiar with.

Lionel, holding the feather pen with his big hand, accidentally cleverly wrote up the sarah and the writing and presented it to me.

"In anticipation of the strength of the Rank 5 Adventurer, ask for the investigative cooperation of the" Arrow of Judgement ""

It's called a personal quest.

Was it since I snuck into the Garuda's nest with Lily when I was still living in the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden) that I received my quest directly from an individual?

"Master, in some cases, it could be time loss"

"I know."

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to take it on in two replies, but for once, I'm in the middle of a journey in such a hurry. Now, as a result of taking the time to uncover the secrets of The Arrow of Judgement, it had nothing to do with the Crusaders, if it were to be, it would be completely just a stopover.

Well, whether it's Farren or Adamantria, I'm also talking about it now because I've been gutsy involved in a fight that has nothing to do with the Crusades...

"I'm sorry, but I'm working at a party called The Element Master. I would like to solicit the views of my members"

"Well, of course not."

I just wanted to ask Lily and Fiona a few questions. Whether it's a waste of time or not, because if we talk about it, we might notice something about the secret of The Arrow of Judgement.

"Without any particular progress, I eat lunch in this seat of this store every day. If you're willing to take it, come back."

"Okay. I'll keep looking into it. I'll let you know if I find anything."

"Hmm, a man who doesn't look good on his face and is disciplined, haha!

Don't talk about my face, you fierce lionface piece of shit. Although it would be each other.

So, sent to Lionel's happy laugh, me and Saliel left the store.

- Mr. Chrono.

"Whoa, is that Fiona!?

When I left the store, Fiona and I bowled together, as if we were waiting.

"What's up, you were supposed to go on a quest?

"I went all the way there, but I turned back. Once you've completed your Quest Retirement with the Adventurer Alliance"

"Oh, my God, how could you do that again"

"Uh, it gets longer when we talk a little bit."

"Oh."

"Mr. Lily has been captured."
