Kuro no Maou

"Ki, ki, kita, whoa!!

Morrigan of Farren, the old capital of deep greenery, with a bright leaking sun.

Brigitte, a Black Forest cleric dedicated to the Spirit and granddaughter of its chief, was echoing a serious scream in the witch to her home temple of Morrigan.

"What's all this noise in the morning?"

To the oddity of his granddaughter, looking fed up, his grandfather, Chief Cleric Agnor, saw him circling in one piece of paper with one hand.

"We did it, Jizzy! I wrote to you from Master Chrono, Zamar Miro!!

Brigitte, watch your mouth.

"--Cohon, I'm very sorry for your loss, Grandpa. It's been a long time since I've heard from Master Chrono, and I'm not very happy."

Turning away from the excitement of drinking and watching a sword fight, Brigitte quieted down with the example of that dark elf beauty.

"Um, that's more than anything."

"Yeah, since they let me out in Rockwell, I stopped flat and worried. Something happened to me, Master Chrono, and my chest was going to tear-------"

Brigitte as the heroine of tragedy tells it, but it can never be described as a grand expression.

Because I'll write to you, Chrono, who said at the time of his breakup, but initially Brigitte didn't really believe the word either. Often, those kinds of news never come.

Chrono, however, was a disciplined man, who regularly sent letters to Brigitte to convey the pattern of his journey to the endless desire city of Carla Mara.

It was a succession of troubles and battles to go to, in fact, what it seemed to be flourishing about, but his character and the fact that he crusaded 'Bugs Brigade' convinced him it wasn't a lie. Is a boulder a Rank 5 Adventurer, or something like that?

Anyway, the journey of the 'Element Master' was well under way while being hampered by various obstacles but solved by force.

But the letter sent by Rockwell, the gateway to the Atlas Grand Desert, was interrupted in a plump manner at the end.

"Going to Carla Mara" is Brigitte's last piece of information.

"So, what does it say? No, it's not an obituary."

"Don't get me started, you fucking jizzy bastard."

While cursing with a smile, Brigitte runs her eyes on paper.

I don't have ten letters sent, but I remember Chrono's habit of letters all the time. That alone made me understand that he was a testament above all that he was safe to live.

The text of the letter starts with an apology for the delay and says that we are safe.

And that's where the real deal is spelled out... Brigitte was breathtaking in its content.

"What's up, Brigitte"

"You should read that yourself, Grandpa, rather than speak from my mouth"

I received a letter that I was offered respectfully, and Agnor reads the letter just as well.

And as stunned as Brigitte was, he stifled himself for a moment.

"Is it true that you get a whole country called Carla Mara"

"I hear that the labyrinth city builds prosperity by using living ancient ruins. If you fully mastered the original monolith... it's not an impossible story"

But none of those who got their country that way once did.

How many states use the power of ancient monuments, and that is only one form of defensive weapon. Never heard of it, such as dominating the country with the power of the ruins themselves.

"So much power, to Monolith?

"Desert, unlike this black forest, is a harsh land where every grace has withered. Even thirst-quenching water is not easy to get"

"Carla Mara is the one who relies on ancient ruins for food to live"?

"Uhm. Then if you hold the power of its ancient ruins, you hold the life and death of the people who live there as well... there will be nowhere easier to rule"

If this were just a rumor, I would have smiled that there could not be such a stupid thing.

But what made this happen was someone powerful enough to save Morrigan from the threat of 'Bugs Brigade' and actually let him manipulate the original monolith in the Black Forest.

And most importantly, there is Lily, a cunning fairy who tried to make a grand bargain for Chrono's blood with the protection of the Demon King.

Use ancient ruins to rule a country. They had enough power to think they could do that.

"What shall we do, Grandpa?"

"It's more than just our marginal discourse. We must go immediately to Nevan, the king's capital, and tell King Sandra."

Talk about just having kids between Chrono and Brigitte if it's just a deal with Lily.

It only takes in strong blood and acts as a clan.

But if Chrono is going to be king of Carlamara and want friendship with Farren, it will be diplomatic relations between the nations at the earliest.

"Will our country in the deep woods and Carla Mara at the end of the south really be linked?

"If we truly revived the power of ancient ruins, we would also be able to make massive transfers ------"

In one of the rooms of the Royal Castle of Sparda, two second-prince Wilhardt and first princess Nell of Avalon, whose engagement story secretly proceeds, were still in close contact today.

"Behold, I have finally received a report of my return from Chrono!

"Come home soon - my chrono-kun!!

The two are really excited.

Not in a romantic sense, but in a tense sense.

That too should be because, as both of us, we have received the good news we have been waiting for.

"Well, read it carefully first"

"Yes!"

Receive letters from Wilhardt with eyes full of anticipation.

Firstly, it was written that by failing to send out a letter for a long time, he entered from his apology that he was worried, and went on to say that he had served his purpose safely in Carla Mara, so he was going to return to Sparda.

"Oh, good, Chrono-kun is finally home ----"

It was also a pleasure to be back.

The further subsequent text spelled out unbelievable content in Russia.

"Um... maybe you can't make a new country out of this?

"Uhm."

And, heavily, Wilhardt nods.

Says that he gained control of the country by mastering the original monolith that presides over the functions of ancient sites in Carla Mara.

Leaving it to Lily to set up a nation here to prepare for the Crusades.

And that we want to connect this new nation that turns into Carla Mara with the nations of Pandora and the diplomacy that we are going to have.

"Carla Mara is the southern end of the continent."

"It's called the City of Endless Desire, it's the southernmost city state in Pandora."

"Isn't the boulder too far apart to bond national traffic?

"You should read a little more about that"

If you slip your eyes into the following sentence, you'll come out there with a

"Metastasis... isn't that ancient magic?"

"So you can manipulate the power of ancient ruins"

Original monoliths from all over the place we've been touring. By freely transferring between them, it was a matter of forging national traffic that also ignored distances.

Regardless, it has not been opened yet, and we cannot suddenly pass a direct transfer to another country.

"That's the kind of wacko you want to start by setting up a negotiating seat to make that happen"

"Hard to believe in Russia..."

The magic of metastasis is typical of ancient magic.

In the days of Mia, the ancient demon king, legend remains that a supermassive transitional magic formation was in operation connecting all parts of the continent, thereby allowing people and things to move instantly anywhere on the continent.

As evidenced by its ancient supertechnology, there are still traps and so forth in ancient ruin-based dungeons that are forced to fly elsewhere by transfer.

But no one has freely manipulated the magic of metastasis. Well, when it comes to being able to magically connect the current cities with each other, that would be exactly the return to the age of legend.

"It is important between nations if it is true… but this should be seen as an opportunity for us"

"This is an opportunity, is it?

"Uhm, because if Chrono is the only country to be named King Carlamara, to reign as a monarch of a nation, and even to connect with nations in a transfer, then ignore Avalon and its existence."

"What, then could it be!?

"Chrono has since gained the princess of Avalon, Nell, a place to match you."

"Yikes! Oh no, that's it for me!?

Absolutely not, but Wilhardt leaves it to a convenient interpretation, as there is a danger of a painful blow flying when he says something like water to Nell at a time like this.

While I perceive that rosy, rather than peachy, delusions would be unfolding behind Nell's brain, I also think it's a situation that is not just delusional, though.

Chrono became the king of an influential country.

And that country, because of its connections with metastases, suddenly emerged as equal. At the very least, the birth of a new state with no connection whatsoever to Sparda or Avalon's group of central metropolitan states.

But even if there is no connection between the countries, there is familiarity with the king, the Krono individual, and Nell. We already have a more intimate relationship than we know each other.

"This, even if we do nothing, does not come up with the possibility that King Miriardo will proceed with his marriage to Chrono on his own"

"Oh Father, I, will be happy..."

Wilhardt turns his sharp gaze to Nell, who is immersed in happy delusions.

"Princess Nell, it's too early to be alarmed"

"Ha!"

"If Chrono became king, the fringe discourse would soar into it as many mountains. Carla Mara is a wealthy city nation moistened by a giant labyrinth. Wake is not the same as having secretly made a declaration of independence in the peripheral lands"

"Indeed, Carla Mara's products are also brought to Avalon and traded at high prices as valuables"

In reality consciousness returns and suddenly Nell takes the look Kirilli and Her Royal Highness deserve.

Looking only here, I really am a princess who admires Avalon women, but as for Wilhardt, who has recently become accustomed to seeing her unobtrusive face overlaid with paranoia, I must not make her feel a gap in a bad way.

"I mean, other countries are wacky trying to get into Krono-kun,"

"Rather, it would be more competitors than this we haven't seen yet---but!

Quickly up the trademark monocle, Wilhardt waves his fist up confidently and screams.

"Princess Nell, now is the time to captivate Chrono with your training and alluring moves!

"Yes, it definitely makes me think that Chrono-kun, eh, maybe Nell, likes me...... and thrills me!

"Its intentions and goodness! There is nothing earliest to teach thee now that thou hast accomplished the full reading of The Temptation of the Prim. Try the Chrono strategy with confidence!

"Hehe, Chrono-kun, come back soon... because I'm waiting..."

Avalon XII aristocracy, the Duke of Arklight family, which can also be called its head.

Naturally, there is one or two of the basements in the giant Duke's mansion, built in the first class of the aristocratic neighborhood near the Royal Castle. But in the deepest part of the hidden, where only a very few, including the Lord, would be informed, there was a sole.

White, shiny monolith.

Ever since ancient times, it continues to emit unchanged divine white light today.

However, the monolith, which only shines in a single white colour, only emerged for a moment a magical formation depicted with lines of blue light and ancient letters, in the next moment, showing clear footage.

What you see there is one man.

He has dark hair, black eyes for his right eye, red eyes for his left eye, and different colored eyes. He's a vicious looking young man. Wrapped around it is an ancient armor of disastrous pitch-black, like that worn by the devil's king.

The young man, who came from the bottom of hell, but said so, began to speak with dignity.

"I'm Chrono. He's the leader of the Rank 5 Adventurer Party" Element Master "------"

"Chrono......"

Abominably, Nero shrugged his name.

When you see the footage, which is not so long, Monolith's sedentary hall is surrounded by a constant silence.

"Unfortunately, Carla Mara fell into the hands of the devil."

Dialogue is the magical thing, but some whiteness made my voice feel broke the silence.

"Gregorius, from the beginning, did you know what he was up to?

"I expected it to be one of the possibilities, but I wasn't sure. I'm so sorry."

"You're kidding, you really are ------"

"Your Royal Highness Prince Nero, please don't attack too many Gregorian priests. It was also my decision to leave Carla Mara to the Knights of the Basilica of Tobalcain."

It was the Lord of this Mansion, the Duke of Heine Ann Arkleit, who uttered calmly words to Nero that would expose so much frustration that he was likely to lay his hands on the knife of his hips.

As Nero, I will not treat him evil, not as the Duke's lord, nor as Celis' father.

"Looks like the Knights of the Diocese have been hit as well."

The video that emerges on Monolith includes not only the proclamation of Chrono, but also a rough patterning of the battle for heritage.

In particular, the Nero and the others have confirmed all the battles between Chrono and his party, the Element Master.

"It doesn't even depend on the face of it. I can't say enough about overconfident in the power of 'Sacred Marks (Stigma)'... Lürick is an old friend to me too, and his hiccups to faith are a good place to know. Therefore, he fought with all his body and spirit, and it should be noted, nevertheless, that he was defeated abruptly------"

"You mean the power of him is becoming so untouchable"

The strength of Chrono was not meant to be known.

But even after being pushed to the limits of his health, from the moment he held the curse, to the mad battle that had slaughtered the Cathedral Knights, to the stunning battle that almost unilaterally defeated the last boss of the Great Labyrinth, the Statue of Deus, at a party---from what Nero saw, his strength was felt to be higher than during the Galahad War.

"However, the problem is not just individual martial arts. They will clearly have gained enough country to build their own forces."

"It's so easy to govern a country."

"It is the power of the original monolith that makes it possible, Your Highness Prince Nero"

I don't really take Gregorius' word for it, but I can't help but wipe out the hunch that Chrono will completely dominate Carla Mara.

"Don't you know what's going on over there now?"

"The original monolith of Carla Mara is already fully mastered. Last but not least, access to the Atlas Grand Desert was completely cut off from the Knights of Tobalcain Cathedral, which we received with this footage."

In addition to the physical distance of the southernmost part of the continent of Pandora, and now that we have also been prevented from gathering information by Monolith, we have lost any room to intervene in Carlamara.

The Knights of the Tobalcain Diocese, which operated locally, were destroyed and the Silverian clan, which has maintained them for generations, seems to have been wiped out. The only survivor of this clan will now be the one son of Luric, the head of the Knights of the Diocese, who was left in this Avalon.

Carla Mara is now in a situation where the Crusaders' forces have been swept away.

Carla Mara is too far away to apply pressure from the outside. Even where we headed on the ground, it's the vast Atlas Great Desert that stands up. The sea of sand is just a natural barrier.

"A row of Chrono stood Sparda and more, touring Farren, Adamantoria, the Varna Forest Sea and the original monolith on the way, at the end of the continent Carlamara finally made the sole its own. This is a circumstance, Your Highness."

"Yeah, Carla Mara, who fell into the hands of the devil, is exactly hell itself. We will certainly be a nest of abominable demons, standing before the Cross."

"Whatever the crucifixion is, it's not what I found out."

"Krono has already become king. But, Your Royal Highness Prince Nero, you will not yet hold the throne."

"Gregorius, I'm sorry..."

"Be aware of disrespect. But with kings and princes, it will be true that there is a difference in cloud mud in influence over the country. Chrono can replace Carla Mara all the way he wants. Meanwhile, our Avalon is still unable to get out of the Demon King faith. There's a limit to just working underground."

Even in the face of Nero's gaze and killing, which literally just stabbed him, Gregorius affirmed without fright.

Chrono and Nero, make the difference between the two of us now, clearly.

"The priest's statement was a rude one that lacked consideration for royalty...... unfortunately, I have to admit it is also true. His Royal Highness Prince Nero, as it stands, there is a danger that we will only be wrestling with the devil's invasion"

"You think he can come and invade this Avalon? Are you serious?"

"Of course it is. Anyway, the original monolith also has the ability to allow large-scale metastases. It won't be that hard to invade all the way from Carla Mara to Sparda, just like going back on a journey. And if it falls into the hands of that man until Sparta... how far can you resist with Avalon's system now?"

Absurd, I can't say enough.

Gregorius has already used the transfer by Monolith to send crusaders across the Pandora continent. Conversely, local believers, like the Knights of the Tobalcain Diocese of Carlamara, could also be called here.

Even though it is a regional exclusive that passes in Monolith, the effects of metastases with distant distances of zero are tremendous.

If we can activate the massive effect of being able to transfer large armies, it will also be possible enough to invade remote areas.

"His Royal Highness Prince Nero, now may be the time to make a decision"

To the voice of the Duke of Arklight, Nero looks up.

Not if you're thinking about it. The truth is, I already know that.

"Before we were ready, that was before Avalon was founded, and we are done. We were just waiting for that time. And I am convinced that this is the time."

"It doesn't matter what your situation is to me. But ----"

What floats behind Nero's brain was the face of two girls.

One is from a long time ago. The other, very recent. They're both very similar, I just think they're the same person, but they're completely different people.

I know, Lynnfeld is not Lynn.

But still, if I ever lose it again --

The sunny weather that runs through it is spreading overhead.

The shining sun was shining, rather than giraffed, and emitted intense sunshine in the desert.

"Really, you've completely cleared the storm."

The 6th of the month of dawn. We finally made it back to the ground from the fifth tier.

Of course, keep it out of sight.

When I got back, I was going to have a rushed day.

First, meet with the boss of 'Chaos Legion', a corner of the three big gangs, which Lily and the others were taking care of.

Joseph Rodriguez, the Diabolos guy named, looks really vicious, but I guess he's not as good as he looks when it comes to Lily being a "good guy". Kind of intimate.

He's already got a story with Joseph, and 'Chaos Legion' shows his attitude that he will cooperate fully with Lily's rule.

Below the boss, the executives and constituents alike, are Lily, who has already bowed everyone down, something like the Queen's Piercing Lock?

The greeting was there, and I headed to the orphanage, House of the Rabbit, where my primary purpose was.

"Welcome back, Mr. Chrono"

"Oh, I'm home, Lillian"

Hold Lillian, who jumped in first, and show the kids we're safe.

A touching reunion, a feeling of joy for one another, before facing Leki and Ursula once again.

"... then I'll take care of everyone"

"Jesus! As long as the Lekies are around, it's okay, Death!

"There's no one after us anymore, and in case you get away to the fifth level, it doesn't matter."

Leki and Ursula decided to stay here.

He wants to take care of the kids while also brushing his arms as an adventurer.

"Don't get lonely."

We can also take you to Sparda together.

With Leki and Ursula's strength now, even if there is another Galahad war, it won't be a foothold -- but still, I find myself hesitant to have these two on the battlefield.

"I know exactly how you feel, Death."

"Because it's my chosen path. You don't have to worry about us."

Don't feel sorry for two girls who haven't even grown up yet to tell you so much.

That's why we still can't take everyone back to Sparda.

"Once the metastasis opens, you'll be able to return anytime soon. I'll be back."

In the frequent parting, tears also seep, but it pretends not to look at each other.

This time, it's not like when we broke up in Alsace. This place has become one of the places I should go.

"... did you not find Emilia or Oren after all"

He was the one I wanted to say goodbye to, but there's nothing I can do if I can't see him.

Rumor has it that both Emilia and Oren left Carla Mara.

Just around the time we defeated the statue of Deus, the storm stopped and the next day the desert ship was starting to sail.

As a result of the inheritance race, there seemed to be more than enough people who thought Carla Mara would be rough and wanted to escape, which was more crowded than usual.

Emilia's most trusted brother, The Golden Dawn, was defeated, and Oren ended up taking the key away from me. Considering your safety, the choice to escape early would not be a mistake.

"At least I wanted to say something, apologize..."

In this situation, there would be no choice.

If you're even in Carla Mara, it'll be easy to find it with the power of Monolith, but there's nothing you can do if you can get out there.

Though I was concerned, there wasn't enough room left for me to look for people.

"--So, shall we go back to Sparta?"

"Yes, Master"

"Finally, you can go home"

Returning is me, Fiona and Saliel.

It was decided to entrust Lily with the keys and entrust Carla Mara with everything.

As declared tomorrow, a Parliament will be held to decide on the allocation of heritage.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of landing you're looking for, either. Because that broadcast, Lily tells me, just did it the way it was.

For once, the purpose was to prevent this one from suddenly going into radical action by clearly discussing it and presenting the other with an agenda that would also have great merit in dividing the legacy. There was some doubt as to how effective it would have been, but as far as the state of the completely calm city was concerned, it could be said that the effect had been sufficient, as there was no doubt that the skirmishes that had been going on during the race had come to an end.

Behind this, however, the powerful people named to the senator will be stretching the number of power tricks from Kam, who said that he would share his legacy.

Well, Lily wouldn't care. I can read my mind telepathically, so I don't know anything about two tongues or abdominal arts. Besides, they hold a lifeline that keeps the people living in Carla Mara alive.

He said that having mastered the original monolith would allow him to manipulate the Central District completely now.

I don't know how far the senators can eat down on someone who holds a life-saving hold on top of being able to read their minds... it won't be for me to see that through.

"I'll leave Carla Mara to Lily, but if we go back to Sparta, we'll be busy."

I've already decided what I should do after I get back to Sparda.

"You've thought of forming a mercenary regiment."

"Oh, from now on, we're going to expand our power."

It's just personal strength, the adventurer party is over.

From now on, lead dozens, hundreds, or thousands of soldiers to create a mercenary regiment.

"We'll do whatever it takes to take shape before the next Galahad war breaks out."
