Kuro no Maou

Episode 764: The Cathedral Knight

The Silverian Families, who appeared before us and wore silver armor helmets, began the attack without question.

"--Grr!"

A tremendous number of light bullets strike like storms.

Attack magic like the light attribute version of my demon bullet. The power is about the same as the normal 'Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta)', but its bullet and continuous firing speeds are like machine guns.

In fact, they're firing this bullet of light from the barrel attached to the gauntlet. The same goes for being equipped with a magical firearm.

I squeeze the magic that seems to exhaust the bottom and instantly deploy the Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth).

Drink the tallest potion all at once, spitefully preventing simultaneous shooting of light bullets.

By the battle against Lulu, it is quite worn out. There's nothing you can do if you fight, if you don't restore the magic... but no matter how superior the elpotion, it doesn't immediately open up to the magic.

Body wounds heal quickly, but it will take a while for the magic to return to just cutting front with them and dealing with them.

"We have no choice but to escape here. They're breaking through the back door."

Fly instruction to Leki and Ursula terminally as the galloping and instantly unfolding defensive magic shreds.

We both understand this predicament. I will be ready.

"When we get rid of this wall, Ursula paves the way with 'White Stream Cannon (White Breath)'. Leki leads the attack, then Ursula, I'll do it."

The door where they showed up was left open. Other than that, I don't see any entrances or exits from this hall. I don't think the door behind you will open now.

"Ready?"

"Jesus!"

"Leave it to me."

On three counts, I'll be completely collapsed in a few seconds. Unlock the Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth).

As it turns black and scatters, Ursula protrudes her hands and unleashes the magic of her special.

"'White Stream Gun (White Breath)' Huh!

Dodd Dodd, and the white vortex where Drain's power resides, blows in a straight line.

The flying bullet of light is drunk by the 'White Stream Cannon (White Brace)' and scratches it off. As well as preventing the enemy from attacking, a breakthrough was cut open.

"Go!"

Leki rushes out with a powerful hanging voice.

They came in front of the door, side by side, attacking the magic shooting. They shot back "White Stream Cannon (White Brace)," somewhat disturbed the formation.

"'Rageblazer' aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Leki can push his martial arts toward a knight who was beginning to sense our proximity and quickly regain his posture.

Stone oppers are good at just getting here. He was well guarded, albeit under Leki's intense double-fire.

But right now, if you can push it back a step, that's fine.

I outmaneuver Leki's attack, shooting demon bullets into the knight, sealing the counterattack motion.

By that time, Leki, who had just resumed his escape without pursuing him, rushed in to the front of the door and Ursula followed suit.

I'm holding them back, holding them back, shooting them all over.

And then one more piece of defensive magic here, and you block the doors, and you'll get as much time as you can to escape and hide from them --

"Shh!"

Bachi, as to undo Leki's scream!! and a fierce thunderclap.

"Corner, I'm pushing you. It's not that easy. You're not gonna let them get away with this, are you?

The captain's long-haired man says with an extra look.

I told you from the start that we were going to break through the front.

"This is the double junction of thunder and light. I'm not going to rip it right away!

The open door saw thin, white, shining glass wall-like objects as the blue and white thunderbolts ran with the bees.

This is the only way out. It means we've been enclosed with defensive magic since the beginning.

Leki is struck with a blue thunderbolt that he can play, yet slams his sword and axe at the mercy of his strength, and Ursula is also draining with Anastasia's arms.

Ordinary defensive magic would collapse away as soon as I was exposed to Ursula's drain... but I guess it puts a lot of density and magic into it. Ursula's right, it won't rip right away.

"Well, you are..."

Sure, I didn't expect you to let me get away with it so easily.

By the time we ran into them here, we were stuffed.

So I'm ready now.

"Leki, Ursula...... go"

The truth is, there was more to be said.

You say thank you or love me. You think I asked you to do something about the kids?

But I can't even afford to be talking about an inspiring dialogue in my heart. They don't read the air, they blink a magical light with all their intent to kill.

"Master Chrono!?

"No, wait ------"

In my words, I had eyes with two people who turned around in a hurry, that's all.

At least let's pray that my feelings have been conveyed.

"----" Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth)" "

Separate us from each other, we squeeze our magic and create walls with all our might.

The double junction that closes the door is strong, but the two of us can break within it.

So I'll buy you some time till then.

"From here on out, you're not gonna make it through a single step."

Their response was a simultaneous firing of a light bullet.

"Grr..."

I think I know what it's like to have a full burst of bullets at me.

I couldn't afford to build enough walls anymore, so I only put up one piece of 'Black Shield' to prevent it, but countless scratches occurred on my hands and feet.

Don't hold the shield any longer.

But if they slap a big shot in, it's gonna suck.

The next light bullet hasn't hit you yet, because you're even chanting?

"Hey, great, brilliant spirit of self-sacrifice!

Clapping deliberately with the patsy, their leadership, the long-haired man known as Luric, speaks out.

"You stayed here without any hesitation just to let those two girls get away now. It's hard to be someone who can do that in a dirt pit. But that's why it's such a noble act."

"What do you want to say? Now you won't want to miss it."

Are you licking me or making fun of me...... whatever, if you can buy me a second, so.

It's getting painful just to talk, but I still raise my voice about it.

"Do you believe in God?

I whisper a phrase like I've heard somewhere, like a tear.

But if we get on with it, we'll also buy some time. We just have to postpone it as much as we can.

"I don't know, it seems that God exists in this world... but I've never believed him. I haven't even been granted protection."

"Right, well, you say you haven't been granted the protection of the Black Gods?

"I would have used it if I had."

If you're an adventurer, you don't want to talk about shelter, but you're in my ear.

Black gods, so many gods called, are believed on this continent, and they may also be given special abilities, magic, martial arts, and so on.

God's blessing is an important element for a highly-ranked adventurer, as it has powerful effects that are not normally available.

But when I was summoned by Japan, I had no connection to this other god. Of course, even if you suddenly start faith in your desire for protection, you can't possibly get it overnight.

"That was good. You're an innocent unbeliever."

"Hey, Lurik, you can't be"

"Don't stop, Gashley. Look, isn't he a really great person? He's a righteous hero who throws himself and continues to fight for the underprivileged children with superhuman combat abilities."

What kind of mouth are you Silverian guys talking about?

"Its power, its spirit, it's not what most humans can have. Don't you think it's lamentable that he still doesn't have a god to believe in?

"Heh, whatever you want. I'm not stopping you."

"That's a wack, Black Mask Ash, no, I think it was you, Chrono. I don't know, why don't you believe in our God?

"... you're telling me to betray you"

"Betrayal and so on! You wake up, to God's truth."

You're so frigid.

But if they want me to go back to sleep, their eyes will come out to survive.

"In the first place, how much do I need to entrust you to the Polar Wolf Society? I know, I guess I haven't even done what they call a 'deal' yet. Then you are a free adventurer. I'm just a temporary collaborator with them. Without profit, it's only natural to dissolve the partnership, and you have the right to do so."

I didn't know that coming here and not being one of Oren's men would work.

I wasn't expecting a situation like this...

"If I go down... will everyone help the children I protected"

"Of course! God is merciful, but he has only ten children, and so on, he can live without any difficulty. Together, I hope we all give thanks for God's charity and rest in peace"

If you put your life and everyone's on the scale, that's a suggestion you don't even have to think about.

Even I'm not a wacko who likes to fight for his life.

If I can spend some time laughing, surrounded by those kids, Leki and Ursula, I don't want any more.

"Come on, Mr. Krono, swear to God. Then you will be one of us now. [M] I will free thee from suffering."

Yeah, whatever. I swear on anything.

If you're gonna save us --

"Kneel there, and chant --O white God,"

Thus, Lürick cut a cross in front of his chest.

The trick looks familiar to me, too, when I lose my memory.

Well, I guess so, because it was something I used to see before the period I forgot. They did a great job.

Let's welcome you as a Cross. "

"Oh well... you know what..."

It makes sense, you guys, you're wacky with white gear.

They weren't even gangsters in the first place. Just like them...... fanatics.

"Crucifixion, or... only in Germany, I'm absolutely sorry."

At his fingertips, he creates a single demon bullet and shoots it at Luric.

That's my answer.

"Chip, what are you doing, Temei?"

Before reaching his forehead, the bullet was brutally bounced by a strong man named Gashley, who stuck his arm out. But I seem to have conveyed enough of my intentions.

"Hmm, you got it. You've suddenly turned your mind. What was wrong with that?

"Demons...... and I guess that's what you guys call it"

In that inquiry, Lürick gave a facetious look for a moment.

"The continent of Pandora originally belonged to the White God, to the Crucifixion… but was taken away by the evil devil tribe. So now, I'm trying to take it back. To uproot the demons and restore the holy land."

"Heh, you know very well. Could it be that you knew someone from the crusades over there?

"Oh, yeah. You're just like them."

For Christ's sake, you're here, but Lurik shrugged his shoulder.

"Anyway, you're right. We're the same cross. The place of residence is different, a devout believer who believed and continued to believe in the White God. The Pandora Continent must be restored. The Crusaders, they start a jihad that takes everything back from Sparta and we start here, from Carla Mara."

Did you admit it lightly because it's justice for those who don't even need to hide it?

Because of that, there's no room for me to get lost.

"If there was a strong man like you, he would have been active in the Jihad."

"Well, I guess so, for that matter, you've made me so strong!

Again, a dozen demon bullets were fired.

That's all I could shoot right now.

Still, they have the culprit who called me here. If you can't get away with it anymore, there's nothing better than fighting it.

Even if I can't fight back, I won't let them down.

"Suddenly Tochi freaked out...... hey, Lürick, you can't take him anymore. Let me do it."

"It sounded good, but I wonder where I missed it. But, well, I can't help it, because apparently it's due to the Crucifixion, and if you're going to turn your teeth to God, you're going to have to kill him."

"He also owes me. I'll give it back anyway."

"Oh, well, please hurry up."

Gashley, who played my unleashed demon bullet lightly, comes forward alone.

"Hey, when I met you before, I had to escape unnecessarily ------"

"Huh!?

In the middle of the dialogue, the appearance of Gashley is blurred.

Rapid approaching. The guy who has instantly packed his time is already shaking his clenched fist.

"--hey, you're strong after all, you are"

Ugh, this one's critical.

Gang fist wielded by the impetus of the hammer is somehow outnumbered by the guard of his arm and sweback.

Not too much power and speed to see through, but not enough power to counter, no more.

"That's about the limit at that time, but wow, now I can finally get serious----" Holy Marks (Stigma)" Liberation "

At that moment, intense magic emanates from Gashley's body.

It's like the awesome aura of silver that the Seventh Apostle Saliel was emitting, with blue and white magic bursting from his body.

A kind of enhancement technique, I guess. Or maybe it's the protection of a white god.

Just look and you'll see that all abilities are increasing. To a boulder, I don't think it's as good as Sariel's... but at the earliest, to run out and deal with a worn out me would be excessive combat capability.

"Olah!!

tempered screams, leaving Gashley's figure disappearing this time.

Fast. For a moment, but lose sight.

I can't even defend myself against the impending Gashley with a different speed and acceleration.

"Gu Hu!"

My body is blown away by heavy fists that hit my abdomen directly.

Wake up somehow while turning two or three times over the laid red carpet.

Damn, how enhanced is that? Power and speed are different than they were just now. Suspiciously enough if you can win, even if you deal with them in full swing.

"Gu, ugh..."

I manage to get up without throwing up, but that's all. I can't even think of a counterattack.

Oh, yeah, when the magic dries up, the consciousness gets hazy too...

"What's the matter, hero, you're not out of your mind!

Now kick it.

Or just because it seemed like a kick is good enough.

Almost standing on the bar, I get kicked in the opposite direction from earlier.

"Ola, Ola!!

From there, it's a complete sandback.

Unmercifully, with the indiscriminate beatings and kicks that strike me, I just roll around the floor unnecessarily, unilaterally.

Just guard as little as you can so you don't just pass out in one shot. I can't even follow his speed anymore.

Not only is it simple speed, but the silver armor you are wearing blows the magic light out of your back, hips, feet, etc. to support your movement like a booster.

It's supposed to be heavy armor for defense, but if you can boost and boom like a super robot, you can even improve your mobility.

From what I've seen, Gashley is waxing me into octopus beating, freely manipulating acceleration and deceleration without being swayed by the propulsion of his armor.

Damn, I beat him up using advanced tech for nothing against a guy who only has this kind of squeezing cuss magic left.

"Ha... ha..."

Fatigue and pain make my consciousness suffer. I want to fall asleep and fall asleep like this.

But not yet... not yet, I have to stand.

If I get up, I'll buy you that much time.

"You're a sturdy body on a boulder. Even if we do this, can we still stand --but it's not funny."

I'm standing up for you. It's not wacky.

All I can do is do it because this is all I have left.

"Do you feel like jerking off? Why don't you drag those two kids along? Oh, would you be a little more excited?

Gashley turns his gaze on the wall I put up.

If it's his power now, he could smash it with a single blow.

Would Leki and Ursula have broken through the line?

I can't even detect any more signs of the two of us.

"Or can't you be serious without the kid you've left on the ground? I know, the guys you took, put them together and put them in the orphanage at the Polar Wolf Club."

……

I tried to say something, but it didn't even make me a voice.

As it turns out, this is my limit.

If Leki and Ursula can get away with it, that'll be fine. The kids don't care if there are two of them.

Even if I screw up here, what I protected is --

"I don't know. A man as strong as you, that's the last time. You're going to die for nothing, kid's still out there."

Not a provocation or a mockery, but it doesn't seem really funny, Gashley points to the wall.

"Well, I just got away, and I'm not going to let you get away either way. Kids kill, and then the kids in the orphanage are all ashamed. You can't protect anyone, and you're gonna die pointless here."

"Ugh, right..."

"It's not a lie, it's just the truth. What's wrong, man? You ready for an untrained one?

Gosh! and dull sounds and pain rush through the brain weather.

He takes a straight punch in the middle of the face, flies flashly with the shock that his neck is likely to be pulled out, and then falls on his back without even taking a reception.

Vision is sumptuous. Even though the pain came dull, the feeling of blood erupting from his strangely crushed nose was somewhat uncomfortable.

……

Couldn't I protect anything?

Either Gashley's words are lies or they are true at this time.

I just thought... don't be ridiculous.

Anger, hatred, that kind of simple emotion, I feel like I'm starting to tickle in my chest again.

"Gashley, you'll be fine in that area already. Let's get this over with."

"Right, next time, I'll kill you."

With his arms turned, Gashley is looking down at me falling in without any feelings.

In the sumptuous sight, I can't even see his face anymore.

Even so, I get melameras and burning emotions in my chest.

……

I wanted to protect you. I was trying to protect you.

I woke up in a desert ship, I didn't even know what was happening, but I saw Lillian tied to a chain and held hostage, and I decided to help.

I have no regrets about the choice I made then.

If I had just run away on my own like that, I couldn't forgive myself, and I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.

So even now that I've stood in this abyss of death, I should have stopped, I don't have any regrets.

But how come I have to fight so desperately, but I can't let eleven kids live satisfactorily?

Things are different. Carla Mara is a city of desire. Birth differences, inequalities between rich and poor. There's so much the world can't do about it. Too many.

Or will it be forgiven?

They did. These guys.

And most importantly, you must be crucifixes.

"… su"

"Oh? What is it? Now you can't ask him about his will."

I wanted to protect those kids, but they couldn't help it, could they?

You guys, me and us Japanese are just as frustrated as we like in human experiments... plus, we're about to trample on everything I wanted to protect.

It's now, oh, it's really now, it's springing up, it's anger.

Beyond the desire to protect, Dos black anger emotions spread. It's not justice, it's not a sense of purpose, only the underlying emotions circle the whole body.

And there was someone who responded to that anger.

"... kill"

--Colosseum

I don't know who that nasty voice is. No, I'm sure you're just forgetting.

Because he's so familiar with his hands.

"Oh? Oh, my God, my ------"

One pattern has emerged from my shadow when I fell.

It doesn't belong to the Great Sword I'm used to seeing. But that shade, dyed off by black, is a testament above all to my black magic.

Originally it was my thing.

But when I lost my memory, I thought it was out of my control.

Because he's too dangerous -- a weapon of curse.

"--my arm ahhhhhhhhh!?

Unconsciously, the moment I grabbed the floating pattern, my body moved on its own.

An arm that had lost its magic and was getting so heavy, bouncing like a lie. It was sinking in the shadows, with a cursed pitch-black blade.

--slaughter --slaughter, slaughter --death ————

Intense murderous resentment, rushing through my head. Hatred enough to seem insane. But now I can't help but feel comfortable and at ease.

"Ku, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."

"Damn it, Teme, I fucked you..."

Apparently, in the first flash I wielded, Gashley lost his right arm.

He is rushing back and letting his boost blow as he suppresses his two arms, which are blowing blood out like a shower.

Too bad. If you'd stayed in time for even one more second, you'd have lost your neck just like that.

Of him, no, as her name suggests.

"" Absolute resentment, "" neck amputation "... well, you were my partner"
