Kuro no Maou

"- Don't wander, faithful. Now is the time for trial."

The voice of a man speaking eloquently echoes across the aisle of the fort.

Perhaps this talking man is the patriarch. The castle broadcast, which began earlier, is intended to tame the believers who surfaced in surprise attacks. Conversely, besides the slight psychological effects, there is no point.

Listening to the rhetorical patriarchal dialogue similar to that of the Crucifixion, Lily walks alone through the fortifications of the ancient ruins.

There is no need to hide in the shadows, or be vigilant when turning corners. The way the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field) progresses with its light shining is something grandiose, as though it were still the ruler here. No, it wasn't a metaphor, Lily had gained control of this fort by more than half.

"Wow... it's easier than getting rid of a goblin's nest"

With the yawn, Lily recalls when she was still seriously protecting the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden). It was a routine event to annihilate the goblins that, once a year, breed and come to build nests.

Once nested there, such as a dim cave or a dim swamp, Goblins fight thoroughly if attacked by their enemies. Many patterns were simply hunted down by nest holes and there was just no escape... but still, the goblins' resistance to being unilaterally eliminated would still have been more teethy than it is now. At least, Lily was killing goblins directly, with that hand.

How about this fort? At the earliest, Lily hasn't even put her hands down herself.

"Hey, you, stop!

"You've got to be kidding me. Shit's getting away with sacrifices."

I see Lily walking down the aisle, and the blue soldier from "The Arrow of Judgement" comes after me from behind.

Even with the call of the Patriarch, soldiers of the faithful will not regain complete calm in raids by mysterious enemy forces (Chrono). The peace of mind and the chronic mind that there is absolutely no such thing as this home hidden in ancient cover-up junctions being attacked. There is no reason to deal calmly with a totally unexpected raid.

In the first place, the very quality of soldiers is low because it is an emerging organization that has just been formed.

In that, it's not surprising to see him escape outside to the sacrificial one he thought he was capturing, letting go of his rifle without thinking about it later. In fact, the soldier who summoned Lily had already put up a gun and had his finger on the trigger.

But Lily doesn't even glance at them and keeps walking. Already, the elimination of the obnoxious rear soldier is' commanded '.

At the next moment, a thick shutter descends from the ceiling of the aisle, rattling and making noises, whether the soldier should still fire.

"Whoa!? What the hell is this wall!

"Hey, what's going on, open up!

Apparently, they don't know about the existence of emergency bulkheads, set up in every passage of the fort. There has never been an emergency, so it is only natural that the bulkhead will not have a chance to descend.

In turn, this is an ancient fort, a military establishment. The bulkheads that block passageways and rooms are equipped to prepare for enemy attacks and intrusions. It's one of the basic defenses to defend the enemy.

And the defense to eliminate the invading enemy is the turret. The weapon Krono called the Sentry Gun, which automatically fires at the enemy.

The turret installed in this fort is a small type that hangs from the ceiling. The bullets you fire are the same as the 'Storm Rifle', not particularly powerful. However, it is possible to keep firing as long as the fort is functioning properly, that is, as long as the energy-sourced ether is supplied.

The turret, through which Aether passed again after thousands of years, began firing at the 'enemy' who broke into the fort without any malfunction.

Lily is in control of the turret. Hostile settings have already been completed.

"-Good."

From beyond the closed bulkhead, I heard a continuous firing noise and a creeping scream.

A bulkhead that automatically prevents enemies and a turret that automatically shoots enemies. Strong enemies diving through these two and fleshing through to Lily finally didn't show up.

"... here."

And Lily gets there. Lead the 'arrow of judgment', to a place where there would be a man of the Patriarch.

Large double-open doors are tightly closed, and access by Lily is - denied.

"Phew, this is the only independent circuit (stand-alone)"

Normal terminals in the fort are inaccessible and not connected in the first place, so it was impossible to operate from here. It would be impossible to open metal doors like steel by force without even bringing a broken castle hammer.

But Lily has unparalleled aggression such as a broken castle hammer. I can't stand in the way of her walking, like a metal door that's just big.

"-" Flashing White Arrow (Lux Fortis sagitta) ""

The Meteor Striker, a silver love gun pulled out with the glow of space magic (Dimension), knocks a huge ray at the door at close range. The door fastens with its thick armor the immense flow of light… instantly became incandescent and began to melt with drooling.

Without holding it for ten seconds, I liquefied most of the doors so that a fiery splash of scorch could be bounced, and the road opened before Lily.

Good evening.

Lily steps in fine, protected by the junction of light, on the floor where the molten metal splashes.

It's a big hall. It hits the top floor of a box-shaped fort.

The first thing that caught my eye was an international large ancient weapon sitting in this hall. The appearance resembles that of a Luke Spider. But with four legs, that body must not be flesh and crust, but an inorganic weapon composed of ether and metal.

Characteristic is the large, long cannon that grew from its back. It is much smaller than Shangri-La's auxiliary cannons, but it is also an incomparable size to an infantry gun. If that shell hadn't been seen and defeated, it would have boasted of its corresponding power.

Those four-legged weapons, not Lily, were facing out. The corner of the wall in this hall is open, like a balcony.

In my spare time, I hear stories of powerful attack magic by the patriarch flying in my chatter with Lyla in prison. The blue and white arrows of light that instantly shot out the warriors they led flew through.

Perhaps it was this one who shot it. Something like defending the fort, the most powerful defense equipment, no, a type of weapon specialized in ground warfare.

"Welcome, uninvited guest... no, should I even call you the demon of the trials"

I was concerned about the four-legged and completely forgot its existence, but there is one man standing in the hall.

A young man with long skinny body, wearing a bright blue coat. In a wide hat with a long hair and blue eyes.

This also coincided, as Lyla told me, with the appearance of the man who was supposedly the patriarch of The Arrow of Judgement.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lily. Fairy."

"Fairy… I see, is it no different to being a demonic person"

Oh, Lily's stress gauge jumps a little to the patriarch who talks in a big, dirty gesture about how dirty.

"But let's welcome it. I didn't think this same 'Ancient Mage (Enchanted Wizard)' would show up as I did, but then, there can be enough trials. I'm being tested by God right now, and I feel so strong."

Manipulating ancient ruins is almost synonymous with dealing with ancient magic. Therefore, neither Lily nor the man of the Patriarch can say that he is an ancient magician (enchanted wizard), a class that refers to the user of ancient magic.

Most of all, it doesn't feel good to be called into the same category by rude men who treat fairies impure. One more thing, Lily's stress gauge.

"I just happened to activate 'Monolith', which is hilarious about the 'Ancient Mage (Enchanted Wizard)' temptation. You, the Patriarch, are better suited to dogmatization."

"I didn't know you even knew Monolith's secret... after all, I need to get rid of you here. Ancient secret, God's miracle, it's enough for me to know that. I was chosen by the God of the Blue Light, you bastard!

The patriarch waves the scepter (staff) in his hand.

Strong white magic (ether) fluctuations were emanating from large blue jewels, like sapphires on tips.

It is not an attack by ancient magic - but the exercise of a robust power of command to prevent external interference. The will of the Patriarch moved the ancient weapon of the four legs that stood behind him.

Make a noise, kid, kid. But in such small footsteps that I don't think a huge chunk of metal moved, I moved the four legs cleverly to swirl on the spot.

A large shell growing from his back was pointed straight at the little lily.

"Huh, the user is third class, but the wand is first class. It's a wonderful glow, Deep Blue."

Lily knows that the blue jewel nestled in the Patriarch's wand is a great magic instrument (artifact) powerful enough to stand alongside the 'Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)'. I've never seen the real thing before, but I was born with knowledge, and I could definitely say for Lily, the fairy with the information given by Fairy Queen Iris, even at first sight.

Good size, quality and condition. Great dish - definitely, I want it.

"Well, knowing the value of this is a wise eye. A shame, a shame indeed. If it weren't for the devil's abominable feathers on your back, you would have been welcomed as a compatriot."

"I'm sorry to hear that. If you hadn't been chosen by God to be possessed by some ridiculous delusion, I could have hired you as an employee of this fort."

The patriarch's magnificent grin intersects with Lily's graceful smile.

After a slight silence, it was the patriarch who opened his mouth first.

"Pfft, let's pay tribute to your power and at least name it for the last time or so. I 'm-"

"Oh, that's fine, please don't"

"... what?

"Do you remember the name of the sacrifice you gave?

The Patriarch did not answer that provocation. But a definite color of anger floats in his expression.

"'Tiga'! Use the holy blue light to destroy evil!!

To the cry of the attack order, no, the order signal emitted through the wand of 'Deep Blue' moves the ancient weapon 'Tiga' on the four legs.

Fine-tune the shell. Standing right in front of you, just one little toddler aims to execute the shelling at maximum output.

Its merciless cannon mouth lit a blue, shining ether phosphorescent - that was when.

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!?

The scream echoes with eyes in the hall.

The right hand of the patriarch holding the wand was disappearing from his wrist. Let the blood splash and pieces of flesh play, and Karan Karan and the wand roll vainly at his feet.

Lily didn't shoot 'Meteor Striker'. Of course, it's not a wack that the patriarch made a flashy list cut himself.

Undisputed, attacks by third parties. In other words, it is a rescue, to help Lily, who has been pointed at a large shell.

"Chrono!

"I'm sorry, it's Sariel"

Paaaaaa! and Lily's smile, literally glowing, turned into a flashy, tense, yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr look.

No, not you. But from the darkness in the corner of the hall, at the end of Lily's gaze, a grudgingly grudging sight, Saliel appeared without a sound.

"What are you doing here?"

I'm not too disappointed, and the way you ask, Lily, throws.

"By the life of the master, infiltrate the fort. After rescuing the captive beast man and ensuring his safety, he joined Master Lily to secure the fort."

But if you try to break in, there's an image of the beasts already liberated in the dungeon compartment.

Than the first goal was cleared, Saliel hastened to rendezvous with Lily, the second goal, and it was just fulfilled.

"Hmm."

"I didn't feel the need for a helper knife, just in case"

Just in case, they shot him.

In Sariel's hands was neither the 'Rebellion Cross (Liberlion Cross)', a favorite product from the Apostolic Age, nor the 'EA Voltex Machine Gun', which worked in the Central Hive offense, but the sniper rifle 'EA Heavy Rain' with a long barrel of guns.

The continuity is sacrificed, but the power and range are there. And most importantly, a sniper rifle with unlimited firing noise and muzzle flash suppressed, I see, would be the right weapon when boarding a secret enemy stronghold.

Even though Chrono hadn't gotten on yet, the soldiers in the fort were standing up to yawn not only because of a lack of training, but also because of Saliel's rumbling without sound.

"For once, I'll thank you. Thanks for taking the time to come."

"I'm afraid, Master Lily"

With Saliel on her ass bowing her head like a real maid, Lily turns to the patriarch who falls down again "Well".

"Ugh, gu... Phew..."

The patriarch was in the midst of pouring potion-like liquid on his lost right wrist with a bitter groan. They don't just cry about the pain, they have minimal guts around calmly trying to treat them.

But it is a pointless procedure, which cannot even be called a futile resistance. Because his biocidal dispossession is already gripped by a fairy toddler staring down with cold eyes.

"I need to ask you something, okay?

"Ku, uhh... I will never give in to the devil... the protection of the blue light to me..."

Apparently, we still can't calm down and discuss it. Jesus Christ, but after a small sigh of sighing, Lily commands.

"Sariel."

"Yes."

As it sounds if you hit it, Saliel moves.

First, pick up the 'Deep Blue' wand that was rolling right next to you. It was the Patriarch's obsession, or his right hand remained in the grip of the pattern, but Saliel abandoned his hand unconstitutionally, as he would pay for the clumped worm.

Pay off the raw garbage that was stuck together, and Saliel gives Lily a clean cane.

"Or give it back! That wand is my, blue light artifact - Uh-oh!?

I wonder how important the wand is. Seeing the wand in Lily's hands, the patriarch reaches back in haste to retrieve it, screaming, but not Sariel, who forgives it.

Hit the long barrel of Heavy Rain on the collar of the patriarch's wrapped coat and lift it at will. The figure of the patriarch, raised so high that he could not reach his toes, was like a sinner to be made exposed.

"I don't really want to be a torturer."

The Patriarch has a few things to ask.

Asking the other person's mind is a specialty for Lily, who has telepathy and a 'thought control device (fairy ring)'... this time, she decided it was better to avoid using the ring to take away her root memory.

Killing the Patriarch or making him an abolitionist is easy, but the best way to solve a case involving the 'arrow of judgment' is to stick him out to Varna's beast man after securing his figure intact.

Negotiations with the Beastman tribe will be necessary in order to investigate which path, and the original monolith of 'Meteofalls', which is the original aim. The patriarchal figure of the "Arrow of Judgement" is a very effective bargaining material for the Lillies, a handicraft.

That is why before dedicating ourselves to them, we must listen to what we can hear from the Patriarch. As for Lily, it's very painful, but she's torturing me, and now, at this point, she's letting me throw up from the Patriarch.

I'm glad I rushed to this occasion, not Chrono.

"Then the first question. How did you find this ancient ruin?

Asking, Lily waved a wand in her hand.

Then, just in the corner of the hall where Saliel was lurking, a blue and white magic formation in Russia - no, a round and large hole began to be drilled in the floor as it sparkled a magical form-like patterned light.

"The altar of sacrifice...... what are you going to do! Don't, let go, let go. Eh!

Yes, that big blue, shining hole is a place, a device, where the captured beast man is thrown into sacrifice to God.

Throw in a living beast man here and you'll get an ether. That's how he won the ether, and he would have handed out canes and magic equipment (magic items) of that power to his subordinates.

By offering his sacrifice, he reaps the benefit of an ether. The schematics coincidentally applied, so they believed in God.

"It's so sensible to worship just a garbage disposal device as God's altar. I can't think of anything."

Fusion reactor.

That's the name of the facility that converts the organic matter installed here into ether.

In ancient times, fusion reactors were installed in the spacecraft Shangri-La and in this fortress, how efficient something was to convert to ether. Lily hasn't found enough stuff to win a huge amount of ether yet, so throwing in raw debris as it stands is the only thing of significance as a small recycling facility that produces some ether.

In ancient times and still, I'm sure this man genuinely believed the Fusion Reactor to be a holy altar where offerings are offered to God, only a furnace that produces energy called ether.

That was more of a pathetic idea than a funny one. Or maybe the existence of God is something that closes people's thoughts by so long.

"Come on, answer me quickly."

The Patriarch is well aware of the effects of the Fusion Reactor.

Saliel drapes the patriarch caught on the Heavy Rain into a furnace with blue and white light whirling as he stands on the edge of the Fusion Reactor, as if he were even fishing.

Also, if the muzzle drops even a few dozen more centimeters, the patriarch's toe will be exposed to a dangerous ether runoff that instantly breaks down what he touches.

"Ah, O God of the Blue Light... bless you... protect me..."

Do you believe that God will reach out to salvation throughout this period?

The last will as a patriarch. To shatter his crappy hopes, Lily sends a hand sign to Saliel holding his thumb down.

In a sparda with a gladiatorial culture, what its hand shape means is "go to hell".

"Ahhhhhh!!

By the mercilessly lowered hand of Saliel, the patriarch's feet are finally swallowed by a swirl of blue light.

With the scream, his ankles turn into shining particles of light and disappear. Contrary to its divine appearance, the pain associated with losing the flesh seems clear.

"Answer me. Turn it off to your knees next time."

"Wow, I get it... everything, I get it..."

And faith was crushed here.
