My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 412: Confrontation in Flames
- Sakura and Ezel, turning back to the hierarchy where the cathedral was located, stopped their feet in the face of smoke filling the hallway, and immediately perceived the anomaly and rushed out at full speed.
"Yabba! Could it be that intense wave of magic just now!
"Let's hurry! It's not like we've decided we won't make it!
Run through a corridor that has changed with fire and smoke and reach near the door of the Grand Capitol without being obstructed.
"Not a single doll remains... I knew it wasn't raided..."
…… Brave Ezel! Give me that!
A large, heavy door separating the Grand Capitol from the hallway was left blown from the inside and hit the opposite wall.
It is clear that it was not destroyed from the outside, and fierce enthusiasm is overflowing from the entrance and exit where the door was lost.
Sakura and Ezel stepped into the Grand Capitol without hesitation, and lost their words to the sights in the hall.
That's just a hell of a picture there.
The grand capitol, once supposed to be magnificent, was engulfed in flames in every corner, and before the deepest wall stood a giant pillar of fire -
"Totally. Oh, I'm not kidding. I can't believe I can't get this far to finish it. Isn't there something out of the standard?
- No, that's not a fire column or anything.
A giant with only the upper body, whose flesh is constituted by flames, is sticking a mass of flame visible both on the sword and on the wand, against the wall where the caretaker Fraxinus is supposed to (...) and (...) yes (...).
And right next to the flaming giant, Algernon, wrapped in a black robe, stood there, even naturally.
"... Huh!
Sakura immediately activated the [shrinkage] and swung down the knife with Algernon in mind.
But something like the invisible armor that covers Algernon stops the slaughter, and just a few more blades don't arrive.
"Ku......!
"Hmm...? Whoa!? Oh, it's dangerous!
Algernon seemed completely unaware of Sakura's attack, and a little after the slaughter was prevented, he ranged in surprise with a huge bare gesture.
You reacted to that crisis-filled voice, the flaming giant pulls one arm away from the bounty, sagging and shaking it up.
"Stop it, Muspel!
But it was Algernon himself who stopped it.
The burning flaming giant listened faithfully to Algernon's orders and lowered his arms to lift the offensive posture.
"Huh... Yabe, no. Whatever it is, I don't know how to blackburn Silanui's daughter with a meetup."
"... Algernon. Is this your fault... the misery of the town and everything!
Sakura turned the cutting edge of the knife to Algernon, keeping the detached intermission.
The surroundings are still surrounded by fire hands, but the anger that springs up from the bottom of the chest is far hotter than every flaming heat.
That's exactly what burns your body and mind out.
"Something I wanted to do until I sacrificed my father! You were such a massacre! Answer me, Algernon!
"... Huh!... Whatever you say will sound like an excuse, but just let me explain. Whether you win or lose, I don't want them to think you were unfaithful."
Algernon looked at him like he was frightened, and then took up the same invincible grin as before.
"The answer to the question is no (no). At the time I reached this hierarchy through Demon King Castle, I never thought I'd be the feather to imitate like this. In the first place, I didn't even understand the very existence of Athlopolis."
Sakura kept her sword pointing without alarm, but did not attempt to interfere with Algernon's story.
Instead, I appeal to Ezel to look out for me and call for backup.
I just restarted the attack in a hurry, and things don't necessarily turn out better.
It involves the risk of getting bought time, but based on that, you should hear out what you can hear.
Ezel also understood that they couldn't just want to fight without knowing the status quo, and ran away from the entrance and exit of the grand capitol before obstruction could enter.
If you're the only one who can [shrink] and leave - that's in Sakura's mind too.
"We wanted to go deeper than this. But I've been looking for a way to do that, and I'm lucky they found me."
"Automatic doll... a true enemy of the Demon King's Army"
"Oh, yeah. They brought in a condition called," If you want to cooperate in the attack on Athlopolis, I'll take you to the third tier. "
While Algernon spoke a little faster, he arrowed ahead and set aside more information than he had hoped.
Is it a self-defense coming from the burden on my father, or was my desire to entrust him (...) et al. (...) faint from the start?
I can take both and feel neither again.
"The purpose of the attack was varied, but as you can see, the most important thing you said was the assassination of admin Fraxinus. I don't even know why you wanted to kill me, okay? I didn't know what would happen if I refused..."
Sakura glanced at Algernon with a rugged face.
My father (Claude) did not throw his life to imitate this.
I can assure you I didn't fit in with the crime scene.
Didn't it happen that you were willing to reject it - before you bumped that question, Algernon mouthed a response from you.
"I had no reason to say no! I promised him! Whatever it takes to make your dreams come true!
"But! I killed Fraxinus with my father's sacrifice on my foot! This is a fact!
Both screams bump into each other in flames.
In contrast to the Sacrament at last just to indulge in anger, Algernon was reclaiming some of his ordinary spare time.
"Well, calm down. Fraxinus is not dead yet."
"What...!?
"Even if we keep sending in Muspel flames like this, there's never any sign of screwing. You pour as much heat as you can into one ash in town, and you have plenty of room to defend yourself to the people in the Grand Capitol."
Algernon gave a tremendous hand gesture, pointing to the inexplicable tree tumor (Kobu) that occurred on the surrounding floor.
Shaped as if the wooden floor had deformed and flourished, it was large enough to hold a whole fallen human being, yet dotted all over it in an irregular arrangement.
"Because of this, I thought I'd involve all the councillors, but there's not one left. This is it. Well, if he screws up, he'll be unprotected, so I thought I'd just have to compare it to patience..."
"... such a thing is a theory of results. I'm guessing you killed everyone and him, too!
"I'm not denying it. I had a dream I wanted to make even this happen. That's all I'm saying!
The moment Algernon yells, a cold voice cracks through the entrance to the grand capitol.
"Be approximate in your chatter. Besides, it doesn't look like we're done yet. I don't think so."
Nestled beyond the flames was a girl encountered in a human settlement.
Feeling a different sign then, Sakura firmly re-gripped her thin red sword as she remembered the samurai trembling.
