Kuro no Maou

"Void Cannon (Zero Cannon)".

That's the black magic number one of my knitted specials.

The effect is neither explosion nor penetration - extinction.

How can I use black magic to achieve the highest power? In developing the Special Attack, I first began my exploration there, but what was discovered in the process was the occurrence of the annihilation effect of all pseudo-attribute mixing.

My black magic with black colors from the beginning, but the blackness when this extinguishing effect appears is a bit heterogeneous.

A hole in the void, like an abyss in which no light reaches. Yes, something black does not exist as a substance, but as if, it does not allow the existence of all things there, a dark nothingness arises.

Things that touch the sole, disappear. No trace, no dust left.

At least I could erase all the objects I could have prepared around here. Thick concrete walls, steel arsenals and, of course, countless wide walking undead monsters.

Why does it disappear? How can there be nothing left? Where are the things that disappear going?

I don't even know that.

But that's enough for now. This is how you defeat the powerful enemies you fear, because they help you.

"Destroy -" Void Cannon ""

Cuuuuuuuu!! and with a strange tall firing sound, the shell with the darkness of extinction is shot.

Rusty is on the verge of removing the "Demon Hand (Bind Arts)/Serpent (Orochi)" restraint and developing defensive magic by a small shield (Buckler), even as the crack enters. It's impossible to evade my artillery fire at such close range. I mean, he's just basically, inevitably poking around.

Should I say again, or have I decided to be ready, I chose the guard for rust. He receives the "Void Cannon (Zero Cannon)", a pitch-black sphere directly in front of him, without moving his dimensions.

Landing ammunition - but no sound.

Hit with rust, the 'Void Cannon (Zero Cannon)' just quietly releases the power of extinction.

What appeared was a black hole worn in the void. An overly heterogeneous dark area, reminiscent of a black hole.

The size is about 50 cm in diameter. This size is the limit I can generate.

Its 50-centimetre dark sphere spreads its rusty abdomen as a central point, swallowing his body.

"What do you say..."

And the black hole in 'Void Cannon (Zero Cannon)' disappeared like an illusion - later, I left nothing behind.

The rusty body was gone.

"Goh... bufo..."

The rusty body literally collapses with the groaning.

The extinction area that was unfolding erased the rusty body. Beautifully chosen, from the chest to the middle of the thigh. Of course, the left arm that stood there to stick the shield forward.

Suddenly, the whole abdominal area disappears, blood blows out like rage as if it recalls from the cross section, losing support and sinking the collapsed rusty body into a sea of blood in an instant.

If I don't groan one more time, I won't even move my fingertips.

And most importantly, I can't feel any sign of that overwhelming magic. Apparently, he died instantly for a lot of people.

"Koitz, were you really human...?

At the end of the body check, I worshipped his face, behind the full face helmet.

What came out of it was the face of a man as thin as a mummy.

The remaining limbs were also poor phase ones with only bones and skins that made them feel very powerless. Whatever it is, I don't think you were exerting super power over me because you freaked out.

"You mean the curse weapon wasn't a sword or a shield, it was an armor thing"

I've heard there's a powerful undead monster that moves around with only an armor helmet called Living Armor. They also appear after the third tier in this great labyrinth of Carla Mara.

I guess it's something similar to Soytz. Perhaps the man in it is half dead. As a cursed armor, at the very least, being just because you need a wearer.

If only someone would wear it, then this rusty armor would be free to rumble around... well, it would be like that.

Due to the fact that the majority of the armor disappeared with the body inside, he doesn't seem to have the power to fight anymore. When I stepped on it, the surprisingly light and rusty armor crushed brittle.

Apparently, it's really just back in rusty armor.

The long sword, which boasted such a sharp flavor, was also worn out and broken from the middle.

Perhaps both swords and shields were things that were fortified by the rust of armor. If you lose the power of the curse, both armor and weapons will be completely powerless.

Hmm, this isn't going to be a loot...

"Master Chrono!

"Oh, Leki, Ursula, we managed to take him down"

The two of them run over with a smile on their faces. This battle would have been at stake if I hadn't mastered The Void Cannon, too. As both of us, it would have been a harrassment to watch from the side.

"Master Chrono, are you hurt?

"I'm fine. It's just my clothes."

"Are you sure you're okay, Death?

"Hey, Leki, don't touch that."

Although I would be ashamed because I'm half naked.

The robe has become a Buddha, but his body is fine. Even in the fight against rust, I didn't get a big shot. It's about a scratch.

"It's more about them getting here than it is about me. Unfortunately, we'll have to abandon this place and move somewhere else."

"Yeah, I'm making you ready to run. I can leave anytime."

"It was a good tokoro here..."

It was a pretty good property, but I can't help it if this happens.

It's not a wack of safety if you move in, but it should be better than staying here.

"There may still be other killers nearby. As soon as we have a secure route, we'll move - but before you do, can you bring me my change of clothes?"

I was only prepared to move quickly, assuming this was the case. I'm not just running around the first tier with heroic impersonations, either. He was also looking for locations that seemed to be available for latent destinations, including other Gigas castles.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a better place than here, but it is my patience until the Great Storm passes. Worst of all, I can handle it if I'm in a location where my kids are safe.

This move is an abandoned building, like the first safe zone I've visited here.

"- Phew, you managed to move safely."

Block the front door with rubble instead of barricade and take a breath.

The entrances and exits are all sealed, including windows, on the first and second floors here. Originally, there are indications that it was used as a safe zone, so there was little need to apply hands.

Or so, I can't be very relieved.

"Damn, I want to get out of here soon..."

Silverian, who has finally carried out the raid. And a despicable, brutal M.O. killer. I learn so much anger that my intestines boil back, but at the same time, there is unspeakable anxiety in me.

Leki, Ursula, and the kids were all able to protect them safely.

But I couldn't help my slave brothers.

I feel like I've been shown the limit I can keep on my own once again.

All the killers returned the favor, but the rust was a strong enemy. If a guy like that joins me, I'll just defend myself to the fullest.

Just a few more moments, if I'm late rushing, I don't think Leki and Ursula would have been safe before rusted. They're strong, they even think they can keep their backs.

But at the same time, those two are still kids, and I'm supposed to protect them. In times of need, fight with me and die, I can't say.

"No, don't be weak"

Even if I'm freaking out, it just makes us all nervous.

At the very least, you should put your vanity in front of the kids to protect, but reassure them. When I get rid of all the bad guys...

With that in mind, it was my turn to sleep that day.

Did the killer give up that this raid was a failure, that he never showed up, that I was on perimeter alert, that I never perceived any sign of anyone.

The zombies outside were also adults, quieter than I thought, and went further that night.

But it's about the next morning.

"Hey, Lillian, you okay? Hold on tight."

"Ugh... hmmm..."

Lillian's poor sleep this morning means that when Ursula went to wake him, it turns out he has a fever.

Me, Leki and Cruz, who play the role of guardians, also got together and saw Lillian raise a bitter groan on the futon.

I'd softly put my hand on Lillian's forehead, but Ursula's right, I do feel hot.

"I hope it's just a cold..."

Damn, I guess I put too much effort into yesterday's raid noise on Lillian because of his sudden base move.

Even I couldn't get over my anxiety. How much is in the hearts of the children, including Lillian?

"You said Lillian was sick, didn't you? Actually, do you have a severe illness or something?

"It's okay, I'm not that sick"

"Several times before, I had a fever and fell asleep, Death"

At that time, if you stay calm and nourished, you will recover sooner… Lillian is only a five-year-old. Suddenly, the capacity may change suddenly, and it's not something I've figured out what kind of disease develops.

"Um, Lillian is a half elf, and I think the nature of the elf is pretty strong among them. So if the magic environment changes, it's likely to be susceptible."

And it was Cruz who told me.

Cruz and Lillian are not original acquaintances or anything, but still have the same northern country of elves called Ortencia in their homeland, so they have some knowledge of elves and half elves. In addition, Cruz has sometimes mastered healing magic at this age, or is a knowledgeable boy of his age.

"Can't the cure magic of Cruz cure you?

"The only thing I can use is' micro-recovery (wreather heel) '… if it takes some time, I can relieve the symptoms, but it won't be a fundamental treatment"

No matter how inferior 'micro healing (lesser heel)' you are, you still don't have enough magic to last forever in a fourteen-year-old cruz. So in case Lillian's capacity gets worse, he says there's nothing more to it than a thorough look at.

"If the magic environment changes, is there any other way to change where you live?"

"Because this is a dungeon where zombies and undead monsters come out. At least, it's not a good environment for people."

Damn, if this is going to happen, I should have forced myself to look for a safe house in the city.

No, that's too late now... no, it's too late. Lillian is already feeling worse. I searched for a new safe house, but I couldn't find it, then I can't talk to you.

However, it is very difficult to say that this temporary place of refuge has a better environment than the previous school base. It would never be good to stay here either.

"As it is, well, I think it will heal quickly as before, so I was wondering if I could see how things are going today"

"... right, you can't act too hastily and get worn out"

But it's a day to see how it goes. If I don't change my body tomorrow, I'll never take Lillian to the city doctor.

So whether it's magic or medicine, whatever it is, it's fine if it's cured. However, there is no possibility that long-term hospitalization will be necessary.

"Then Lillian, you're taking your time off today. I don't even have to help you."

"... yeah, Master Chrono"

Lillian fell asleep, responding with a faint little voice.

Tomorrow is fine, I hope you wake up...

The next day I welcomed Lillian, who was ill, while still anxious.

"Take Lillian to the hospital. Leki, Ursula, I'll take care of your absence."

"Yeah, I'm fine over here."

"Dear Chrono, Death who asked for Lillian!

"Oh, I'll be there then"

Leki, Ursula and all the kids drop me off and leave.

"Um, are you really glad I'm with you?"

"What are you talking about, Cruz is the only one who knows about the hospital in the city"

"That's, well, yes..."

Cruz is with me this time.

There was about a month before the day of Lillian's rescue after Leki and the others reached Karamara. Leki and Ursula were moving toward rescue, so they said the main aspect of life was that Cruz was watching alone.

The Cruz boy, who was fourteen years old and served as a fine husband, properly checked the location of the city's hospital in case of trouble for the sick Lillian. Of course he wrote on the map in hand, but he also said he actually took a trip when he shopped and confirmed the route. What a simple personality.

But his preparation helped this time. Even if I went to the city on my own, I must have gone right and left just looking for a hospital first. Just having a guide helps a lot.

"I'm sorry, it was yesterday today, and I'm supposed to take the dungeon around again."

"Yes, no, it's nothing... it's okay, so"

Even if Cruz says he can use healing magic, he's not capable of doing adventurers as a healing magician (Priest). Leki and Ursula are out of standard, and for normal children this first tier is a dangerous place to live alongside death.

Originally, it was only supposed to be one escape from the city through here... after yesterday's base move, I was asked to accompany you today, aware of the danger.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you and Lillian."

Or because the zombies are avoiding each other in "Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher)," they never get attacked in the first place.

I'm carrying Lillian, so I'm not going to be a wacko running through with a full-blown sickness parquet, as usual, and I'm leaving Cruz, the average person, behind. So today I'm traveling for an exit on normal foot.

Really, it's good to knit out the magic for the opponents.

Exploring Enemies with Sound and Similar Handrails The enemy power of 'Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher)' is neither perfect nor omnipotent, but fortunately, from the sky! From the ground! We made it to the exit safely without a zombie coming up with an unexpected ambush like that. Encount on the road is 0%.

"Well, I'll take care of it from here."

"Yes."

With Cruz's lead, people start walking in the city of Carla Mara, where only people are as common as ever.

Among the many people on the boulder, it does not go to the wax of using 'Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher)', which occurs in a black misty appearance. Even if I used it, there is no point in this magic at a time when irrelevant people exist.

The effect of detecting those approaching or hiding from us in places where there is nothing, with no power to select only enemies from among the unspecified. If you're hiding a tree, it's in the woods. If the assassin gets approached by the crowd, it's pretty dangerous.

All you can count on in this whole city is your own observation and sixth sense anymore.

Please, don't let the gang attack you. Praying inside, I followed Cruz with full vigilance.

"… finally, have you got it"

"Excuse me, because the safest treatment center seemed to be here"

I'm sorry, that's not what I said. It is just extra tired because I simply kept walking with care.

Anyway, did my prayers reach God, or did the gang give up on me so long ago, that I arrived safely at the hospital, or even the treatment center.

White painted stone, lined with thick cylinders, decorated with something like a sage's stone like a white robe, it looks like a temple.

A healer (Priest) cleric is the doctor, and he was originally a kind of religious establishment on this continent called the Temple of Pandora. Among them, it seems that the treatment center is independent of the medical specialty, and the sign on the front street says' Eastwood Treatment Center 'as well.

It was good elsewhere than the treatment center that that knife woman said was serving. No way, there's no way a killer here is working for a side serial killer either.

"That's a pretty good place."

"This is a treatment center for knights and high-ranking adventurers alike."

Probably the finest treatment center in the area of the Carlamara peripheral compartment with no access restrictions. It costs money accordingly, but only for that matter is my skill and safety guaranteed.

Finally, this Eastwood Therapeutic Hospital has the breath of the Polar Wolf Society, the corner of the three big gangs hostile to 'Silverian Familia' who are after us. The Silverian guys, they can't do that here, and they shouldn't be able to turn around.

Cruz chose this place because of such circumstances.

"Without Master Chrono, I wouldn't have been able to see you here."

"It's for Lillian, I'm not gonna fuck around."

The gold coins I've accumulated in the past are still there. I don't know how much the treatment will cost, but there's no way this isn't enough...

Yeah, if you have to, step down on debt and get out of here Carla Mara! By no means did I enter the temple stained treatment center.

Northeastern part of the outer periphery of Carlamara. That is just the area at the border of the territory of the 'Silverian Familia' and the 'Polar Wolf Union', both of which, or as a chaotic neutral zone with mixed other forces that are neither, show a lot of buzz.

Built in such an area, certain cheap taverns thrived today with gangs, adventurers and indistinguishable rough bastards, and no, it was more thriving than usual.

The reason for this is a full-body pink woman, standing up on a large round table in the middle of the tavern and shaking up a big jock.

"Hahaha! It's my fucking day! Thank you, drink with admiration!

"Thank you, Pink! I love you!

"I love it. Ah!

"Let me fuck you one shot -!

"It's me. - Pink! Marry me. Uh!!

Rank 5 adventurer Pink Arrow stirs up the jock with real satisfaction, with nasty wildness and praise all over his eyes. I keep my full face mask on, but it looks like I can drink it for some reason.

With all her drinking, the bastards thrive again.

Pink is on. I've only recently come to Carla Mara, but at first glance I can't forget. A woman with standout pink monochrome gear, not bad if you just look at style. So he's a solo adventurer, and he's immersed in the outer periphery, not in the heart of the rank 5 adventurer's ass.

In other words, it was noticeable, very noticeable.

Such a person would indeed be baptized of Carla Mara's malice, but the pink was strong. Rank 5 Adventurer's strength is not Dada.

A prominent solo woman adventurer with proven strength. Now, a super-positive personality who was always confident in himself, like justice, was accepted with wonder. She's kind of a crazy woman, but she's not that bad of a guy. With such recognition, I was fast becoming a celebrity around here.

"So, what's up, Pink, was that such a good reward?

"Yeah, I made more money this time than I thought. Well, that was a chocolate job."

"This request is the one that kills a hero like Black Mask Ash, right? Could one win?

The black masked ash rumor was more famous than pink, and it was a well-spread story that killed and fled the board captain of "Silverian Familia".

As revenge for the captain who was killed, Silverian's executive officers were turning to the killers in solidarity, which took the form of half-proven that apparently those were facts.

And Pink jumped right at this request.

"I can't allow you to become famous as a hero without this me! Take this opportunity to steal skills!!

It was the other day that he went to Ash's assassination request.

And when he came back alive, he behaved in a big way to treat everyone in the liquor store in a good mood. Her request must have been a great success.

"Well, it's no exaggeration to say that you really win alone." Burning, "" Transparent, "" Pork Nose, "and" Child Killing, "and that" Rusty "! If you dedicate everyone's neck to the Polar Wolf Club, the bounty is Gabogavo! I can't stop laughing, haha!!

"Yabe, he betrayed Silverian!?

"Seriously, Pink, I've never seen such a grand betrayal."

"Yabe, Yabe, this is definitely a retaliation case..."

Men who were thriving on free booze until a moment ago blued.

The names of the killers Pink spoke of are the ones there named after Silverian.

Especially 'Killer' Hilda, who, with his skill, also buys a great deal of grudge from hostile organizations because of his vicious ways.

Plus "Rusty" is a mad warrior with rank 5 adventurer class prowess. Its bloody martial arts are quite famous in the back society, and it is quite a thing for Koitz to come out to work.

If I gave you such a big name's neck, then you would also play the bounty.

But Pink didn't originally go hunting their bounty neck. With them, I got a job to kill.

It is an unforgivable betrayal even if it is not a gang, such as bringing the neck of an ally to the enemy forces as a bounty neck. I can't imagine Silverian keeping his mouth shut, having been imitated so far as a joke.

"And, hey, you drunk on that bounty, my accomplices, at the earliest! One-Lotus Trustee...... Come on, let's all join forces and face the evil and outrageous gang, Silverian Familia!

"What are you getting us into on your own!?

"You're kidding me, I'm not dying!

"You suck, you suck, Pink."

The hero of the day, who treats everyone to alcohol, turns a blind eye, to the worst traitor who puts everyone's lives in extra danger.

Along with a storm of cursing noise, it flies with noise, such as liquor bottles, plates and attack magic.

"Wait, no, guys, listen, I didn't betray you! 'Cause I didn't know Black Mask Ash was Chrono-kun!

"I don't know that!

"Who is it, Soitz?!

"I know you! Damn, Carla Mara is on the de side of the continent, so we all don't know what Krono-kun does... he sucks. There's no such thing as rusted. A real mad warrior. I mean, I killed him with rust, Chrono."

"... Oh wait, didn't you kill 'Rusty' Pink?

"Whoa, whoa, that means you just took the bounty neck from Ash?

"It's not good. Sole is a retaliation case from Ash."

To the discovery of just the hyena act, the liquor store quiets down further.

The guys here are all aligned and full of scumbags, but I've never seen betrayal after terrible betrayal so far. Modestly, it is a dongle.

"So, Chrono-kun left it without even taking his neck... it was falling, yes, that bounty neck was falling!

"Wow, he's reopening!

"Seriously, you suck, Pink!

"That's good, if my high prize neck had fallen, I'd have picked it up! The time for the fisherman is the happiest moment I can think of to be an adventurer!

"Isn't that just scum!

"Make your own money, you scoundrel!

"What happened to justice!

"It also costs money to be a righteous hero! I'm not saying anything sweet!!

"I'm sorry!

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear any more of this ugly excuse"

"- Will you let me hear it?"

You don't talk about anything anymore, in an atmosphere like this, I only heard that voice through.

In this noise, quietly, but clarity, the girl's voice was delivered to anyone's ear.

"Can you tell me more about that story?"

Sewing between the rough men appeared a bright white girl with bright red eyes in her sparkling silver hair.

And for Pink, I haven't seen his face in a long time, I knew him.

"Ah, Saliel!?
