Kuro no Maou

Yakitori field on one side of the perimeter. At its center, on the top of a pile of black burnt debris, two girls were facing each other.

One is a girl with long peach hair.

I am exposed to a thread of white nudity, but I do not have a single soot stain on my body, as opposed to burns.

The immense white magical aura of silver that flows from her body will not tolerate scratches or dirt.

The figure of the girl wrapping the aura around her whole body is divinely glowing, but her eyes are burning with flames of hatred. She asked the other girl standing in front of her, with such a fierce, hateful gaze that she would, of course, involve even her surroundings and even bite into the hand of salvation she could reach out to.

"... who, you"

"Seventh Apostle Saliel"

Saliel, dressed in long, flickering silver hair and a pure white coat, emits an aura of silver, just like the girl. But in contrast to the aura of a girl of fiery momentum, she wraps herself around as a quiet glow, thin blur and faint glow.

"Confirm the Awakening of the Eleventh Apostle. Congratulations, you have been granted the protection of the White God."

"Well, I know that."

"Immediately, the liturgy of blessings in the Cathedral of Elysion. His Holiness the Pope awaits."

"What, trying to dictate... God chose me, not to me!

Explode. Saliel's foot caused a huge explosion with the dazzling glow of light.

No chanting, no even a surgical ceremony, just a force move to beat up high density white magic. Unconverged magic spreads instantly, but causes a physical phenomenon of destruction faster than it disappears.

The girl was unleashing her overwhelming density of magic with her own passion.

Black burnt lumber, bricks and countless wreckages are blown together. If there were any people in that vortex, it would turn into dust and scatter.

"By the shock of awakening, a state of confusion and speculation"

But Sariel is sitting with a strange face that doesn't notice the explosion or anything else. Standing position is behind the girl.

On the brink of the explosion, the move there was already complete.

"You need to stay asleep for a little while."

"I'm not kidding! I don't listen to anyone anymore, I'm free, I'm free!

Again, an explosion of light winds up.

The power of destruction wreaked continuously and extensively. But for Saliel, the same apostle, the same attack as it is stopped. No, this isn't even an attack in the first place, it's just eight hits, like a crying child waving his hands and feet and rambling, eclampsia.

"This world is wrong, do as I wish, because my will becomes God's will, otherwise, what!!

The girl smears even white light in front of her eyes as she screams her distracted words. Like breaking everything you can see. Like rejecting everything in this eye.

"There's no point in all of that about who you are or what your past is"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!! I am Mass, more beautiful than anyone, more noble, loved by God, this me - eh!?

Sariel has already stuck her perfectly on the girl's back, turning that white thin arm around her neck.

"Better than this, you are merely to fulfill your mission as the eleventh apostle. Holy mission, fulfilling the will of the White God."

"Huh, what, huh!?

Sariel's tightening by superhuman power crushes even the protection of the floating silver aura and strangles the girl. Her breath will clog, her voice will not speak, and she will lose consciousness without seconds, only a weak girl as she looks, besides her protection.

"May God bless you"

Without having to hear Saliel's sacrament, the girl passed out.

Never serene, but for the girl...... for Mass, that was indisputably the first encounter with Sariel.

It appeared simultaneously through the sandstorm, on the deck by the sky carrier Peaceful Heart, an aerial fortress.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Ha!? You're flying in the sky, castle, oh, it's impossible!

"You're lying. Oi, you're bigger than this ship."

"I wonder if you're even dreaming about me..."

"Hey, I hear something! It's a woman's voice!

Until recently, the formidable armed sailors, who were bravely and resolutely battling a flock of sandbats, are also rushing ahead of a flying castle that you can't even imagine. Even I've never seen such an ancient giant weapon actually fly through the sky, and I have a few surprising emotions.

But such a whispering consternation, the hustle and bustle around me, everything is equal to nothing before the passion that springs from behind my chest.

"Lily, Fiona, Saliel... please, give me a hand. Set up the formation 'Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)'"

The best we can do against the Apostle.

It's the "reverse cross (anticross)" that also hunted down Sariel when he was still the seventh apostle. Now, our strength is even higher than it was back then. Now it is time to try to kill off the Apostle.

"I can't believe an apostle came out here. But if I find it, I'll have to finish it."

"In a place like this, there's no escape. Which way, battle will be inevitable."

Unlike me, neither Lily nor Fiona show willingness to confront each other, without the appearance of feeling it.

Master, I'm going to proceed with the retreat.

But only Sariel resolutely disagreed.

If she's not insulting our power, well, she's not supposed to shy away from fighting an apostle who was one of us.

Then isn't that a difference in power, played calmly everywhere?

"You're telling me we can't beat Mass?

"The other is not just the Eleventh Apostolic Mass, there is another, the Apostle"

There are two apostles.

The answer came in front of me before I could think of anything about it.

"- Well, you saw a face somewhere, you."

White, shining figures descend onto the deck from the far overhead Aerial Fortress. Don! and it is the Mass that wraps the aura of silver that the Apostle attests to that which he decides to land in his lifetime.

"I see, it's a face like the devil himself."

And then I stepped down next to Mass, an unrecognizable blonde girl...... no, is that the guy? It is easier to discern a man than Simon, such as a beautiful boy.

He is a strange bastard, but to the crucifix coat that surrounds him, the aura of burgeoning silver was above all an eloquent tale that he was also an apostle.

It's the first time I've seen it, but from information Sariel had asked me beforehand, it would be a guy named Mariabel the Twelfth Apostle.

Bad. The formation "Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)" assumes against one apostle.

No, can we both do it at the same time... but no matter how many fairy mergers (Excellions), how far can we fight with the two Apostles directly from the front?

It's not whether you can win. There is a grudging enemy in front of us, and there is another apostle in Omake who must be defeated one day at any rate. I'm not going to kill you here, though.

While I think so, the idea also springs that we should somehow withdraw, following Saliel's advice. I left it to my anger to fight, and as a result, I won't be stylish in return.

Originally, it would be a great premise to ensure that one apostle at a time is terminated. We are not so overconfident that we can win against more than one apostle.

Fight, run, what to do.

Saliel tells me all she knows about the Apostle, that is, his ability to fight. Eleventh Apostolic Mass and Twelfth Apostolic Mariabel. These two men are capable of...

"Master, I'll talk to the two of you and buy you some time. In the meantime, get ready."

A message comes from Saliel on telepathy via Lily. Expect me to think up a response? For one thing, when I returned the acknowledgement, Sariel stepped forward as if to shelter me.

"It's been a while. Mariabelle, Mass."

"Saliel!?

"Oh no, Sir Saliel... you were alive!

To Saliel's untouched greeting, the two had a startling look on their face that even said they saw the dead walking out. I guess the Seventh Apostle is passed down to the other side.

Well, there's no way you could publicly advertise being caught and enslaved by your enemies and working as a maid of honor, even if you knew what a former apostle looked like.

"I'm supposed to have died in the Galahad War."

"Phew, phew, well, I didn't think you were dead!

"So you're here to wipe out me for betraying God"

"Bullshit! No, you're not, you're not that wacky, he's still unreadable of the air!

"Good, Sir Saliel, it's really good that you're alive!

Apparently, they admired me more than I thought.

Although Mass says something hateful, its expression is full of joy, and Mariabelle is honestly happy to reunite.

These two became apostles later than Sariel, so to speak, juniors. I hear they've been dating a long time because they were there when they woke up to the Apostle, and they've had some fights together.

But from the side, their talk seems merely high school students. In fact, the two say they're as old as they look. Apparently some of the apostles will not be athe in appearance because they live more than a hundred years graciously, but they are real boys and girls when it comes to Mass and Mariabel.

"Let me hear one thing"

"It's unusual for you to ask questions. I feel good right now, so I'll give you an answer for anything."

Has the next Seventh Apostle awakened?

"Huh? What, you didn't hear?

No, Saliel hasn't been back in the Crusades since the Galahad War, so you have nothing to ask.

But Saliel used to ask me what I really cared about. Even with Sariel gone, I had assumed a pattern whereby the Second and Third Seventh Apostles… etc., but with the birth of the next Apostle too soon, there is something quite harsh.

If the Apostle has no one of that number, each time he awakens by the whim of God correctly, not by the wax to which the next is replenished. It's not so uncommon, he said, to be in a time when all twelve apostles are not in alignment.

However, it is not necessarily the case that the next person does not appear immediately. unlikely, but still was a major anxiety element.

"The Seventh Apostle will be permanently absent," said the Divine Consort.

"I didn't sound very good, but that's what the brave man and Dr. Mikael said, so I'm pretty sure."

Does that mean that the Seventh Apostle will not show up for good in the future?

Perhaps, once you have laid all the apostles to sleep, you can wipe them out for good...

"Really? That's the punishment God gave me."

"I don't care, that's not true. It's just that you're no longer an apostle."

"That's right, even if Sir Saliel disqualifies as an apostle, it doesn't matter. To me, you're -- uh, you're my friend!

He doesn't suddenly look down or anything like that because he's no longer an apostle.

Both Mass and Mariabelle seem to be saying something quite worthy of friends, but, um, at least it doesn't look like they have a back. You really seem to think of Sariel.

"Well, I'll just go home. If Sariel was alive, I wouldn't want to be in a demon cave like this for a second."

"Sir Saliel, come on, let's go home to Elysion together"

Just look here and discover and rescue a friend you thought was dead in enemy territory. When I got home, it was a doomsday, a scene like that, but it's impossible to end like that.

"I can't do that"

"Huh? Why not?

"I betrayed God and was stripped of my Seventh Apostle position. Never return to the Crusades again."

"What the hell, I don't care about that! I'm telling you, it's okay. I'm not gonna let anybody put an ass on me."

"Yes, Sir Saliel, don't worry about anything, we'll take care of everything later. There's no need for you to fight in the Crusades anymore... from now on, I'll protect you!

Prioritize your friends over God's decisions. What a crying, thick friendship. Mariabelle, you're shouting that you've already half-confessionally stained... but even if you don't, do you like Sariel?

"If you're showing me about me, you don't have to worry about it. I'm not going home to the Crusaders or Sinclair."

"Hey, what are you talking about, you're not stupid, you can't be like that!

"Yes, why, Sir Saliel!

"Because I am the slave of Kurono Mahogany"

Bomb speech, would be. For Mass and Mariabelle. And maybe even for me.

"... what?

"Doh, what do you mean, what do you mean"

"My body, my heart, I gave it all to him. I am his possession, no free will, etc."

Wait a minute, Sariel. The way you put it...

"I lost my Seventh Apostle position, not just because I lost the battle"

"Sariel, you can't be..."

"I have lost my purity"

"Ugh, it's a lie... it's a lie. Oh, no!

"Proof of this is that I am no longer an apostle. Kurono Mahogany took me from God. So..."

I'm sure that was the utmost comfort word for Sariel to his friend who showed him his way.

- I'm happy now.

Statements about throwing TNT gunpowder into the fire in kilotons.

It wasn't the explosion that played, it was the intent to kill.

"Oh yeah... that's what you were..."

For the first time here, Mass saw me standing right behind Sariel.

The adorable face is in terrible shape for being angry and hateful. Impressive with glittering pink eyes... I see, you mean you live in a light 'charm', even when you do nothing in particular.

"Oh no, how... this can't be happening"

Mariabelle, on the other hand, is a desperate expression that cannot be taken by shock. If you find out that the girl you like has been through it, you won't have a choice but to react as a man.

Could it be that if I told you in detail about when I took Saliel's first time here, I'd have his heart completely smashed to pieces and even unrepeatable...... no, I'd have trouble waking up too weird of anger to be strong. The other person is an apostle, it's no stranger to any transcendental power-ups.

Besides, for me and for Sariel, I don't want to say anything about that night in honor.

"I'm not willing to fight the two of you. Why don't you just keep going?"

No, Saliel, I think that dialogue should have been said before you exposed your slaves.

Behold, both Mass and Maribel will harden their determination of immortality, and will look upon the devil who has taken away the purity of the Seventh Apostle of Reiki.

This is unlikely to avoid battle, no matter how you raise it.

"Wake up to retreat, though there won't be. If you were alive, it wouldn't have mattered... but I made up my mind, I would have killed him."

Well, I've been meaning for a long time, and you've decided I'm gonna kill you.

But, okay. I've just decided on a plan.

"Let's go, formation 'Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)'!

Screaming, at the same time, rushing out at once. There's no reason to bother giving them the lead.

The operation has already been telepathically communicated. Interacting with your voice is no better than having them in front of you. I don't think the two apostles have listened to our conversation or anything, just in case.

I unleash "Absolute Grievance" and aim for Mass.

At the same time, Saliel turns to Maribel.

Here's the operation. "Reverse Cross (Anti-Cross)" sets Mass. Me, Lily and Fiona, we're the same members of the Galahad War.

In the meantime, Sariel suppresses Mariabelle by herself.

Apostolic opponents on their own are militarily impossible, but he is in love with Saliel. I also asked Lily for her opinion just in case, but she said there was no mistake.

In short, he can't kill Sariel. There's no wack I can do to get a woman in love. I can't believe I didn't even go out with Mr. Shirazaki, but I couldn't kill Sariel.

Until we finish Mass, Saliel can fight Maribel, chat or whatever, so we'll buy her some time to stop.

With the wax, we must first capture Mass in Fiona's "Purgatory Junction (Infernofall)". Even when we fought Sariel, we started here.

The condition is to keep the opponent within a radius of approximately one hundred meters.

The general guy can't detect the activation of the 'Purgatory Realm (Infernofall)' and then escape from the realm of the union, but there's nothing the Apostle can't do if he's capable of doing it. We need to make sure we stop.

And that role is basically mine. Fiona falls into the splendid Grand Magic category, concentrating on activating the Dimensional Magic (World Dimension) purgatory junction (Infernofall), so she can't even hope for cover. Lily is also not likely to be able to concentrate much on battle for the standby of Fairy Consolidation.

That's why I'm going to be slaughtered. Mass, you want to kill me too. Then, be square, I'll deal with them. Come on, call me.

"It's not enough to tear you apart! Die easy, don't think!!

White light flashes at Mass's disposal as he raises his angry screams. It's not the attacking magic of light attributes, it's the giant wings that popped up, no, the blades.

It is a flashy sickle, decorated with wings. The root of the blade, the tip of the pattern, is a big golden cross, and without the blade of the wings, it is a brilliant design, like the long cane (staff) of the Crusader Priest as it is.

The Great Sickle of Divine Mass, which has the impression the opposite of the Sickle of Reaper, doesn't seem very combat-suited, but that's the biggest weapon for her.

Armed Scripture of the Eleventh Apostle, "The Biwing Union (Arc Divisions)".

Sariel has also told us about the existence of this apostolic weapon. Nor did she know the armed scriptures of all the apostles, but she had sufficient information regarding Mass, a junior.

The 'Biwing Federation (Arc Divisions)', instantly unplugged by Mass, has yet to free up the abilities it has hidden there. But even with nothing done in particular, the ultra-density white magic swirls.

The blade boasts a light wiggle and the power to tear the sword and armor helmet together, but my "Absolute Grievance" "Neck Break" can slash each other head-on.

"Black!

"Raaaah!

The Great Sickle of the Curse and the Holy Sickle collide.

Nothing moves, with one fine arm at his disposal, Mass rolled out 'Biwing Reunion (Arc Divisions)', against which I said I seriously unleashed martial arts - chii, this weight, the messenger is still a monster stain!

The underlying status is too different. Power, speed, magic, everything is better on the Apostle. Naturally, the White God is giving that man an unforgivable power without the rules of God.

But still... I'm not as fucked up as I get blown away with that simple power battle right now.

This integration, if it's just accepted, is all it takes.

"Fiona!

"- Fallen, to the original leftover fire 'Purgatory Junction (Inferno Fall)'"

Before launching the second blow, Fiona lets the world of purgatory unfold, which locks up the Apostle.

There's a terrible red lotus flame, like a big explosion in front of me.

"Hmm, silly, I'm the one who captured you - 'Fly (ENTER)'!

The view of the flames is overridden by white light. I wonder, soon, if you realize, the light will subside and your vision will return.

There is no purgatory red sky, no erupting volcanoes, no wilderness with lava great rivers flowing. It was not in "Purgatory Boundary (Inferno Fall)".

"What, this place... where it was flown"

"Welcome, I'll tell you for once"

Look, Mass is standing there.

Against the backdrop of a crisp blue sky and the castle of White Ya, she was still grumpy with such a grumpy look that anger could not subside.

"Above the spacecraft... Shit, was it the range of effects of the transfer"

Apparently, I've been flown overhead by a Mass Sky Mothership with metamorphosis magic.

If Lily was also near Shangri-La, she would have been able to move freely with mirror transfer magic. Perhaps Mass also flew all the way here for me using the transfer features available on the spacecraft. To be exact, we broke it off.

"This is Peaceful Heart, my castle, my garden. And your execution site."

If you say it has the same function as the spaceship Shangri-La, then naturally, there are defensive junctions as well. If they deploy, it's impossible to go outside. There will be no breaking, but for that reason you will expose your back full of gaps before the Apostle. That's not a realistic idea.

"I left Sariel and the other miscellaneous fish to Marie, so I said I could take care of you here."

Shake the giant sickle lightly and pose for me.

For him, at the stage of locking me up here, crushing every chance he could escape, setting the stage to kill for sure?

He told me to fight against an apostle who was not even worn out, who was seen as almost complete, alone. Quite a desperate situation.

"You're fighting with Sashi... you're superior"

Fine, I'm doing it, Eleventh Apostolic Mass. The vengeance must be, let me take it...... hey, you bet, Vulcan.
