Monster no Goshujin-sama

Thirty-eight.

"... it's been a long time since I've had you on my back like this"

It was not long before Berta, who runs through the woods, reached the main army of the Borderline Bell Army.

There are no other people around.

Berta putting me on my back and it was just me.

"Right. Ever since I got Lily back from Jun Takaya?"

I responded to Berta as I remembered the time in my brain.

Even then, they had me on my back.

"I'm sorry you've relied on me every time."

"Never mind. If you die, my king will grieve."

There was the usual inconvenient response.

But it was a little different from there.

"No. You're not."

"Berta?"

"Now I can't help but delude you. This is my will. I feel like I want to help you."

Though bittersweet, it looked refreshing somewhere.

"What is it, Takahiro Mashima? You look surprised."

"That's well. I didn't think Berta would say that."

"Me too."

You agreed, Berta laughed low.

It was a giggle that made the girl feel what she had meshed.

"Originally, I was the only one who could fail under my king's command. All the king wants is a pawn with no will. Even so, with you and your actions, I have changed a lot. I guess that's why I think about this."

Berta said in a smudged tone.

It was the attitude that showed that was as if it represented her change.

"That doll has some resemblance to me. A shield to protect my husband and a pawn to be crushed by my husband. My perception of myself is close, and my position as a relative is similar."

"Standing position?

"I am the second family member to be named."

"Oh, you know..."

Kudo, who can follow many of his subordinates, did not reach ten of his named relatives, the majority of whom he found due to 'worm poison'.

Even as far as I know, I give names to my relatives who said Dora or Zeezer.

However, by the time I met him, Kudo had already followed Berta and Anton.

I never thought about the order of which met Kudo Lu first, but I guess that means Berta was found second.

Sure, standing position is the same as Rose's.

So maybe there was something I thought.

"The point is, it's unsolicited empathy. Or if it were me, not me, who was not given the name of Berta..."

Tell them to dream.

But Berta didn't want that.

"Regardless, I am not going to deny myself the way I am now serving the King. That's not what this is about. Such a possibility is unlikely. That's all right. I don't want to be happy."

Speaking up about the pain in the chest - Berta looked back.

"But you do. Maybe I couldn't bear it to be mourned because I don't have the possibility"

That's why she's doing this here.

Black, long hair, his eyes reflecting me.

"So for the first time, I decided to expose myself to this."

The face of the double-headed wolf looks forward, and the limbs step forcefully on the earth to slip through between the trees.

The girl's eyes look back at this one and stare up close.

I remember one day in the battle with Jun Takaya, when I rode two in Berta with Iino.

Just like then, there was a girl's thin body before me.

But today, the girl in front of me was not on the back of a wolf.

The girl's body grew out of the wolf's back.

Apparently, it's called Scylla.

It was the nature of Berta, who had been laying low until now.

Everyone was surprised, but it would be Lily who was particularly stunned.

No. To be precise, I was surprised by Mr. Mizushima, who was inside Lily.

- Mr. Boom?

For a moment, she crushed her face.

Boom Miya.

He was a best friend of Iino's and a transferee with two names: "Dark Beast".

It seems Berta's appearance of truth resembled hers, so much so that her voice leaked unexpectedly.

Previously, Jun Takaya came up with her name in an attempt to lure Kudo upset.

The Kudo's family looked very similar to Ryumiya.

I don't know what this means... and I didn't ask because Berta exposed herself to a secret, provided she didn't ask anything.

That's why I don't ask.

Nevertheless, it was like saying something had happened, perhaps felt like something to do with her root.

Conversely, she found Rose something that would only make her decide to expose it.

"That doll said she didn't want to die"

A thin lip spun the words.

"He doesn't want to end up here because he's in love. That's what he said when he recognized his master's shield."

"... right"

"But he also said this. I'm strong enough for that, and I want to protect my loved ones. And that doll went to war."

When I was told my thoughts in the world of lightning, I could imagine Rose at that time.

That is a very honorable devotion.

But his dignity produced a slight offering in his chest.

"... Rose's Fool"

The wickedness of the small mouth is bitter.

"Are you mad at me?

"Just a little."

Answer Berta as she asks.

'Cause he doesn't understand.

"Don't you understand?

"Oh. Not at all. I don't understand masculinity. If that's what he thinks of me, then so do I."

……

Berta, who opened her eyes a little, made her mouth smile lightly.

He looked kind of happy.

"I see. The doll found out about love. But how much do you still need to know?"

"That's the thing. More importantly, it would be terrible to go without making a direct confession and without hearing a response."

You can't allow that.

There was a lot to say and tell.

So I will definitely get it back in this hand.

"... caught"

I opened my mouth quietly.

He captured the Borderline Bo's army in a thinly spread fog sensing range.

First, get a rough idea of the full story.

My voice leaked unexpectedly.

"... That's a lot"

A crowd of soldiers at the time of Yunxia.

Salvia tells us that the total number is more than three thousand.

There was a number of violence there that could crush anything from the front.

The threat was overwhelming just because I could magically grasp the numbers poorly.

"What do we do?

Berta asks to confirm.

Of course, the words to return were set.

"... let's go"

Much has been lost.

But in exchange for what, there's something I don't want to lose.

Then I had nothing to do with what they were.

"Oh."

Berta, who was instructed by me, stepped up his speed.

Her speed at which she manifested herself is faint.

It's the same speed as Gabella.

Without hesitation, we head straight to the front of the enemy army, which can no longer only be seen as a wall.

Naturally, the enemy also notices.

You should have been under Rose's attack, but I guess you still kept your guard up against the outside.

There was still quite a distance.

Whether it's a bow or magic, it's an all-you-can-shoot distance.

In order to set a target here, the commander gave instructions - but this much was envisaged.

"Magic 'Misty Vault'"

Earlier, I'll cover that sight with fog.

The fog is deep and we lose sight of each other.

I figured it out so that the soldiers would have the upset in their hands. But......

"... quick to rebuild"

Immediately the field commander gives instructions to contain the soldier's agitation.

Berta hurries, but this won't make it.

Are you assuming the way the enemies came out of each other?

The opponent has a tremendous amount of combat power and is threatened enough even with a turning shot.

If you turn one side of this area into arrow rain, magic rain, Berta, who doesn't even have a grasp of the fog's interior, can also be a feather that keeps getting attacked properly.

Instead, it would be better not to give out fog, as much as we can deal with it.

...... of course.

That's not what I knew from the beginning.

Still, here's what I did.

Because I decided this was the best.

"Sure, you guys are strong"

I drove my magic before the enemy was ready to attack quickly.

"With all this level, all the numbers, all the gear, you must be embodying a number of violence."

The magnitude of the magic that has been put into operation is the largest ever.

It's the power gained in exchange for what's lost.

"Even where I've made it brave, my health is finite. If we can bump the number of forces we have aligned over time, ready for great sacrifice, we will do our best sooner or later. Oh, I'm sure that's true."

Perhaps this is the limit to which I can keep people's snails.

Inject your elaborate magic into the magic of fog.

But there are exceptions to everything.

White, white, enough to dye everything...

"- Swallow people," Misty Vault ""

I don't know the Borderline Lord's Army.

The only magic I can use, a Salvia contractor, is the Misty Vault.

This isn't just eye-catching, it's equipped with a function as sensory magic... but that it's only one side too.

"... Hih"

A soldier, wrapped in white mist, but who was dampening the upset, leaked a small voice.

The arrow that stood on him leaves the string and falls to the ground pompous.

"Oh, man."

A soldier next door who noticed speaks up, but he can't afford to respond to it.

In the first place, I don't even realize I've been talked to.

Its eyes gradually opened and its expression was greatly distorted.

"Hino... Hiaaaaah!?

There is a scream of no body and no world.

Soldiers who were supposed to have been brave had not even had time to stop their colleagues from escaping.

"Oh, why!? I don't like this. Oh...!

My heart is completely broken.

It was as if I had seen something horrible.

In fact, it is for him.

I did.

Salvia's magic 'Misty Vault' has one feature that has never been used before.

That is the power of illusion that perplexes the mind.

Right now, I planted it on the entire Borderline Army, wrapped in fog.

The fog-hearted soldiers see a large group of monsters looming as they devour their own armies.

It is the sight of a fellow being murdered unharmed, his own army completely disintegrating and everyone losing.

No one can live with the senselessness of stomping and fighting with this.

Nevertheless, illusion did not take on everyone.

Unless Salvia can use her magic with all her might, she relies on me.

No matter how much, I don't have that much power.

In the first place, I have never used the magic of "Misty Vault" for illusion purposes, because I had a limited number of people who worked for me.

Even the average soldier, who has no great resistance to magic, costs 20% at best.

No, if I am now, how about 30%?

Still, it's just 30%.

That was Takahiro Mashima's limit.

But...... now it is 30%.

For this occasion only, this figure gives rise to heinous consequences.

"Sorry, Lewis. I'm gonna get about a thousand people."

In total, more than 30% of the Borderline Belgian Army's main force exceeds 3,000 - i.e., roughly a thousand soldiers.

That much human consciousness, the magic of fog swallowed into a bite.

The result was a vortex of crying that made the earth tremble.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!?

"Hi-no-no! Don't come! Don't come! He's coming. Oh!

"Help! Somebody!? Ahhhhh!?

Soldiers screaming at each other and running away.

Soldiers in the Troop Leader class spill with such a blatant glance at their men.

"What is this..."

I can't help it.

As a matter of fact, there is one thing I tend to miss about the magic "Misty Vault" but it is heterogeneous.

That's the range of effects.

The power is another story, even the magic of the Fifth Staircase, which makes it difficult to fit all the great armies of this magnitude into the sphere of effect.

But The Misty Vault allows for that difficulty.

That should be called the magic of the 'Misty Temporary Inn' Salvia, which has sauntered a long time ago.

Here, even if the effects were limited, if the powers of illusion were mounted, it could have been a weapon against an army that would crumble.

The battle line collapses so that the teeth of the jaws are missing.

It's not just about the avant-garde, it's about the whole army.

That was a sight too different.

What I don't understand is horrible.

Soldiers who did not suffer from the first illusion also cannot help but be upset by the abnormalities around them.

If the spirit becomes unstable, the illusion will also be better.

Plus, the white fog swallows their minds.

Forty percent of all armies...... no, they eroded up to fifty percent.

It takes more than I expected.

"This is... oh, you know what?"

I laughed all the time.

What took better than the assumption was that the Borderline Bell Army was originally weak.

Because I realized it was the result of Rose's struggle.

If this happens, the rest is brittle.

Even those that are not under illusion are beginning to show up to escape.

It is no longer a situation where interceptions can be made.

The walls of those who were supposed to be full cracked.

There, Berta went in.

"Gooooooooooooooooo!

In the missing battle, we cannot stop the Berta's current advance.

From the double head, the exhalation of ice and snow and flames flies, breaking down the line.

Tentacles fly brilliantly, bouncing back weapons that are occasionally protruded.

And even more wasted.

She now has both arms.

"I don't care about the slime coming down."

In Berta's hand, there was a black spear.

I'm not used to it, so I'm just treating it as a stick rather than a spear, but if I try it on the soldiers, it's just a threat with more trouble.

I couldn't stop Berta.

"I'll fly. Hold on tight."

Berta runs when he knocks down the soldiers.

It's just not like when I was just running, the shake is just stiff.

I cling desperately to Berta's waist so that I would not be stripped.

So, to the back, to the back, to the rear, of the Borderline Bell Army.

in the direction I instructed beforehand.

Go where Rose is.

But that's where Berta issued the warning.

"Front! A knight!

There was an appearance of the Cathedral Knights in the direction of progress.

Of course, I was already able to sense the magic of fog and grasp the situation.

The earlier illusion of "Misty Vault" was somewhat ineffective for the Cathedral Knights.

The confused were also instantly beaten to regain their sanity.

That's Berta, too, against that bunch, not until he kicks it at the same rate.

You tried to take a detour, your legs dull. But...

"- No!

I screamed.

"But..."

"Keep it up, please! We're almost there!

Berta turned this way.

"... don't look so desperate"

The girl's face frowned like trouble.

"Oh. Okay. I guess we can do something about it!

Responding well to the momentum, Berta increased her speed.

Gungu and the knights approach.

Just before we bumped into each other, Berta stepped on the earth.

Preliminary motion of the throw...

"Go ahead!

- He grabs me, he throws me away.

Over the knights, beyond them.

"Become... shoot me down!

"Let it go!

Attacks caused by Berta's flames and icy exhales strike the knights who tried to respond to them.

The confirmation was there, and I waved my left arm.

If it's from this place, it's because the radiation was already coming through.

"Asalina!

"Sama!"

At the end of the stretching Asalina - hung by a familiar doll, there was a Rose figure.

Oh. I finally got to see you again.

The joy that springs up, however, is quickly anointed by another emotion.

――

I guess I really fought to the limit.

Rose had lost limbs and was about half the size.

He grabbed his chest and hung it unwrought as if dealing with garbage.

Scratched, broken, damaged appearance.

Though I was prepared, my thoughts flew to the sight I saw firsthand.

"... give it back"

Asalina wraps herself around a giant doll grabbing up Rose.

Immediately Asarina towed me.

It didn't add or subtract to the traction at all, and it was as instructed that the joints all over my body were about to blow up.

"Ahhhhh!

Keeping its momentum, he slammed the sword in his right hand.

The crushing sound of the ceramics sounded.

The arm of a doll with a blown shoulder is thrown out.

The doll falls behind, scattering fragments.

With a knocking recoil, my sword blows away from my hand.

The man who was beside the doll opens his eyes.

Leaving them all behind, I reached out.

"Rose!"

"Ohhhhh!?

What has fallen with the screams is irreplaceable and important.

Attract, hug.

Hold it so that you can be sure of its existence.

Gentle not to break her wounded body, firm not to let go.

"Your husband..."

I won't let you go again.

But before...

"Wait."

I whispered to Rose holding him in my chest with my right arm and looked back.

There, a giant doll stood.

"... do it!

Did the man who screamed say Ottomer or something?

If so, is this the whole 'angel doll' thing?

I thought it looked familiar, but it's not the same size as before.

There's no way I'm going down on you.

I don't have a sword at hand.

The right arm is blocked by holding Rose and Berta is on the other side of the knight's line.

I shook my left hand in no hurry, looking at the doll poking over my spear.

Already Asalina is wrapped around her left arm and acts as a reinforced exoskeleton.

I was ready to recreate the power of white spider tyranny.

The magic that resides in this body has increased compared to before.

Now, it would be even closer.

That's not all.

"Thermer"

More magic in my possession means more soil for Asalina.

Namely, she was taking one more stage as well.

Asalina, who was wrapped around her left arm, opened her mouth wide with her palms.

Leaf thorns, which also look like the fangs of certain animals, stretch long while increasing in diameter and toughness.

My left arm, shaken, had been transformed into a disfigured one with tough nails.

Lily's imitation of "The Devil's Nail" - whether it reaches the real thing or not, this left arm is home to the power of white spider atrocity.

"... be"

Ottomer's out of line, but it's too late.

"I don't know your justice."

The limit value of Takahiro Mashima's existence.

Roughly 80% of the legendary white spider that boasted the strongest of the tree seas.

Strike out the shaken arm.

"Let me get it back!

A different claw tore the angel doll apart.
