Kuro no Maou

Living ancient ruins of function often remain in their present state without being eroded by greenery. Inside an artifact that doesn't grow a single weed, but it's something that the monster is breeding by definition.

There shouldn't be any food like this, but how can they live, it's magic, pull, the presence of the Spirit.

If the magic is dark, a simple magical life, a mass of magic called the Elemental Spirit (Elemental), occurs naturally. So, that's where the elementary eating monsters show up and the food chain starts.

Most importantly, in the case of elementary-based food chains, monster ecosystems are created that differ from normal nature.

In the green second tier, the goblin was a wax that lived lazily across the wolf, but this third tier, wrapped in iron, oil and smoke, has an overwhelming number of magical life-type monsters than the flora and fauna.

"Gugg, Gigovo......"

The monster that emits a hard sound to tell if he's roaring or roaring, for example, is a guy called the Advanced Elemental Earth Spirit (Terra High Elemental).

Should I even say that the appearance is a cluttered golem? It feels like the rocks and iron scraps around it are stuck to a large extent and barely human shaped.

Although appropriate in appearance, it is, as the name suggests, an advanced (high) being that houses a considerable amount of magic. He would be a very toothless opponent in a goblin.

Especially painless elementals don't know something called fear. And when a fearless elemental, like such a robot, is an earthly attribute, so it will have a stubborn body of stone and iron.

In other words, it has a very high resistance to slashing, blowing, penetrating, and general physical attacks.

"Ursula's 'Drain' is handy at times like this."

"Yeah, the elementary is a duck to me"

If Ursula let the white arm of "Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia)" wave, "Advanced Elemental Earth Spirit (Terra High Elemental)" will collapse and go so that it breaks down with a gobble.

If you lose your power as a magical life, the chunks of rock and iron that become flesh will fall apart. 'Drain', which can directly absorb the magic that resides in their bodies, boasts immediate-death power for them.

The "Advanced Elemental Earth Spirit (Terra High Elemental)" that appeared was almost swept away by Ursula alone.

"Woo, what's Leki's turn?!?

"Don't worry, they're still coming"

From beyond the collapsed wreckage, another human form appears again.

The size is around two metres the same as the high elemental, but its silhouette was incomparably refined.

"Cuooooo......"

He walks in supple motion, leaking sounds like breathing sounds, but he's not an organism.

A person without a head. The dark grey body is bulging massively, but it is rubber, not muscle.

He's a rubber golem.

This is also a classic monster that often appears in the third tier.

Like the elementary, it is a common golem to have a rock or iron based body, but it is made of rubber that makes it so. If you can configure your body with inorganic objects, it's probably OK to be rubber or whatever.

"It's more like a robot made here than a natural monster."

Rubber golem's body is said to have a metal skeleton as well as rubber. The appearance also gives the impression that the elementary has evolved rather than well designed.

Should it be called a simple yet useless industrial tick design? Instead of his head, he seems convinced to say the first one glowing red on his chest or the enemy's mass production machine that appears in the robotic cartoon.

"In the meantime, why don't you shoot me -" Demon Bullet (Barrett Arts) ""

"In the meantime, I'm going to smoke -" Princess White Night Fork (Anastasia) ""

"No! Just the two of us again!

Don't say that, Leki.

Rubber golems, classified as rank three, ate my unleashed bullets, just slightly mellowed, and didn't go through a lot of damage.

The ensuing Ursula drain also seemed to have structural resistance to magic absorption, and for quite some time I couldn't push it to a functional standstill if I didn't keep sucking.

"It's not compatible with that rubber doll."

"It looks like it was made with ancient technology. It must have something to prevent it."

"It's getting more and more, Death!

The first piece of rubber golem was knocked down by a gorilla push, but your people are coming with Zorozolo.

Besides, there was a mix of "Advanced Elemental Earth Spirit (Terra High Elemental)" replacements from behind, and then just a sandy ghost-like monster called "Sandrais".

Where we stand is in an empty warehouse. It was encounting where we tried to get through here, so when enemies gush around the entrance, it takes the form of a complete blockage of exits.

"Leki is in charge of the rubber and Ursula is in charge of the rest. I'll cover you."

Copy that.

"Yeez!"

Would it be enough to put the Devil's Sword (Sword Arts) on Leki, who pops out well, and then, behind him, just hold back with the Devil's Hand (Bind Arts)?

That's all, and later the two of you will clean it up well.

Push through the third tier as you scrap blocking golems and elementals.

This hierarchy is still mapping, so some maps are fairly accurate. With shame, I could come to my destination with little stray.

"Sure, there's got to be an appearance point around here."

From the mysterious view of factories and warehouses, this is a highway interchange-like terrain where several roads intersect in 3D.

Is it a road, a rail, or another equipment? Anyway, there are roads running vertically and horizontally that are wide enough for trucks to run at their leisure.

The road is littered with container wreckage and debris, and the outlook is not very good. If I had a car, I wouldn't want to run here.

I don't see anything in particular.

"My My Not Here Day"

I'm not expecting to find you that soon, but it's a little odd that you can't see the other monsters. According to the information, this should be an area with a high monster incidence.

Even so, I can't feel any signs of this.

It doesn't mean you're in the wrong place.

"Ah, there he is!

That's when Leki was riding herself out of the edge of the road and screaming, once again widening the map.

It's dangerous, I think, but Leki is a body that has no problem falling free for a dozen meters or so.

"You found it?

"It's definitely my Death!

Just down the road where we are, Sole was there.

Well, it does look like a big snail or something. It's about the size of a light car.

But the body is not a nudgy, soft animal-specific texture, apparently the same rubber quality as the rubber golem.

And the big shell on its back, though dull, does emit a platinum glow. Definitely platinum.

The shell, by the way, was not in the form of a vortex, like a rolled shell, but a cube, like a container.

"Okay, you're twisted. Just one target."

It's also crawling down the road at slow pace with Nosonoso like a snail. If we just discover something like this, it'll be easy to win later.

And it's about the arrow tip I thought.

"What, you got a sudden increase in speed?

As we descended on the road he was walking on, it was obvious that we were moving faster.

I started running as hard as I could, rather than... what, my body floating a little?

Fuwari, and right after Mai Mai's body behaved in a way that made her feel floating - rapid acceleration.

I started running at such a fierce speed that the car had fully opened the accelerator, I mean, that slide movement,

"What the heck is that, a hovercraft!?

I didn't hear you move fast like that, what's Mai!

"Hurry up and go after him!

"Dear Chrono, Enemy"

"Death coming from all over there!

That is as if the time had come when Mai Mai, who had perceived the danger and started running away, asked the police for help.

From the other side of the road, several figures emerge as they jump the rubble.

That was scattered until I got here, the rubber golem I've been dealing with, but I didn't have legs on my lower body and it was shaped like a big floating wheel.

He's a rubber crafter.

"Hovercraft is fashionable?

Anyway, it is a subspecies of rubber golems traveling in hover driving. Seriously, it seems more troublesome than the normal guys for being maneuverable.

"Can I leave Leki, Ursula and Rubber's opponents to you?

"I'll take care of it, Master Chrono will take Mai Mai"

"Go!"

It's up to me to catch up with Mai Mai, who has begun to flee at all costs, and capture her shell unharmed.

I'm worried about Leki and Ursula... but they're not just kids I unilaterally protect. I'm with the same adventurer party. So, in times like this, trust me, I should leave it to you.

With that in mind, I started chasing snails fleeing with all my strength.

"Ha, I'm tired..."

Desperately chasing a snail that explodes in a hover, manages to tangle it up with a demon hand (bind arts) and succeeds in capturing it.

It's easy to catch Mai Mai, who has no means of attack other than to hit her body, if she even stops her legs. In the meantime, it is frozen with a "sealed cold strike (cold seal)" and thrown into shadow space.

"Good day, Master Chrono"

"Platinum My Mai, Gate!

For one thing, delight in achieving your quest goals.

I had a hard time, but discovery was quick, so it hasn't taken much longer.

"It's easy to get back with a metastasis when you go home."

"Yeah, we still have time."

"Another Death Looking For My Mai?

"Hey, it's a bit of a chase with him..."

Apparently, Mai Mai, who really runs away, is calling both rubbers. In pursuit, along with strange shouts, I perceived signs of weakness but magic.

I don't have a lot of monsters around here, I feel a lot because Mai Mai is calling me.

Absolutely. Have a command to call your people, and make sure it's clearly stated in your monster information.

Anyway, although it worked this time, Mai Mai's ability to reinforce is a little, dangerous. Leki and Ursula repelled the rubber craft that showed up fine, but there could be even more numbers next time, and a more powerful type might come.

Um, I thought this quest was delicious. After all, isn't it so good?

"It's a corner, so why don't we explore this place a little bit"

"Okay."

Copy that.

There will always be plenty of opportunities to make quests on the third tier. You can get used to the field at all.

After finishing the small pause, he began exploring the third tier.

Turns out, I couldn't find anything big.

As much as I got a little copper and silver ingots from some of the golems and elements I knocked down that seemed to buy me out for the price there and from the golem that I thought was transporting materials like Mai Mai and carried containers.

Well, it'll be about the cost of a souvenir for the kids + dinner tonight.

"Tomorrow we'll look for another quest"

"With Master Chrono, it's not impossible to explore the fourth tier."

"Jesus! I'm a Leki hardworking Death!

"You won't have to rush it. If you want to challenge the fourth tier, even after you've reinforced your gear."

He was on his way to the square where there was a transfer magic formation for his return, talking to others.

"-" "Black Wall (Wall)" "

Me, Leki and Ursula, the minute I put up the wall for the three of us, Katsung, and the dry sound slammed the black wall.

If you look, there were arrows dropping there.

The arrows are painted on green-looking mucus and are poisonous arrows, no matter what you think.

"Ambush. Golem then -" Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher) ""

Black smoke scatters in all directions like a smoke screen. From smoke to black wind, he runs through the surrounding area and tells me who is there.

"Two in front, one on the roof there, two behind"

Tell them where they are and how many they are.

Both Leki and Ursula are already in possession of weapons and in a state of war. I mean, nothing. I'll take the wall.

Even without tension, the two of them were showing enough moves to cope, just in case.

"Chick, that's a sharp yarrow."

You were prevented from sniping poison arrows and realized that there was no effect of surprise attacks, and the raiders forming forward appeared dignified.

A young human woman with a short bow in her hand. Did you shoot a poison arrow with an arrow?

"Isn't the rumor of the black masked ash Dada?

"I thought you were a jerk playing on the first tier, but you're not doing it very well"

Talking, the raiders also come out from behind.

This is a woman, too. Except one looks like a cat beast man.

If you check with Chirali, one of the people forming on the rooftop on the left can also see the feminine silhouette.

Apparently, they're all women.

"You guys, those Silverian guys?

"I'm not with that one. We're the Supernova."

They don't know.

But if they suddenly come shooting poison arrows, you can see them as bandits.

"Leave the platinum shell. So I'm gonna miss you."

"I just don't peel my body off. Thank you!

Apparently, you know we got Mai Mai. It would be something like being seen captured and watched.

But this straightforward blackmail. Do they think they have a better advantage?

No, when you see where they don't attack you without question, this is probably what you're going to be negotiating.

If I remember the threat to them, the action of handing over the shell and cutting off this place would also be an option...

"-" Thunder Cannon (Shockbuster) Fire All Bullets (Full Burst) ""

A bursting, black-purple thunderbolt.

The "Black Thunder (Endbolt)" bullet released in all directions struck a thief named "Supernova (Lulu Stars)" with too much power to stun him without taking his life.

Each of the five of them tried to respond to my attack, but not until then. There was no means to prevent it, there was no room to evade it, and more than three shots were hit by it.

"Gah!"

All five of them fell to the ground amicably, leaving a short scream that

You shot me first. You won't have any complaints.

"Then let's go, Leki, Ursula"

"Dear Chrono, Todome"

"These guys, if we keep them alive, we'll bring them to the roots and attack them again."

Leki pulls out the great sword and Ursula wraps her thin and anastasia around.

It's not just the mouth. The intention to kill the two is real and makes you feel like you have no resistance at all to doing so.

That's what they've done so far.

"Don't worry about such a clutterfish. Let's go home."

No questions asked, I held each of them aside.

"Wow!"

"Mm."

The two were slightly dissatisfied, but did not resist.

Don't worry about the groceries, what a cool thing to say... I guess I just didn't want to see these kids kill people.

I know, me and you, you've killed so many people that your hands are stained with blood.

Still, I'm not going to overlap the extra murder. I don't want either of you to kill me as much as you can. If I have to, I'll do it instead.

"Don't peel off your body, thank you."

Leaving such an abandoned dialogue, I walked away with the two of them in my arms.
