Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 17, malice touches taboos

On the journey of a subordinate.

A slowly flowing river full of lush nature, birds, and melted snow.

Donburako, Kurono thought while being shaken by Donburako.

--Ah, I'm doubling up ~.

Hands behind your back, riding on logs, Kurono and Kageha descend on a gentle clear stream.

Kageha is constantly gazing at the work of the child Chrono who is going forward, while maintaining balance.

But Chrono was too free to think about it, and finally wanted to double up.

(If I could double up, I could work in two salons. I'm really doubling up...... but I've tried it a few times, but it just feels weird.)

Well, I'm going to try the prototype doubling technique I tried before.

……

The black magic leaked from Kurono's body, creating a human form that looked like the shadow had separated.

"Hmm!?

In the shadow of Kurono, who suddenly appeared to blur, the lizard is naturally pulled out of the liver.

It soon disappeared, but undoubtedly black magic was shaping the other figure.

(... what is this? What good is this? I can't make diapers either. I can't even cut my pickles. I can't use it. It's a technique that only exists to say it's an afterimage.)

"Yes, that was...."

"Hmm? Right now?... what do you want me to tell you?

"If possible, do it."

"It's possible. I was struck in the chest by an unexpected rider."

Kageha would probably be able to make the remnants on his own, but if he didn't have a reason to refuse, he would move logs to shore.

"... yeah, everyone admires it. Then let's try to improve it to the actual specifications."

From the pleasure of being relied on for the first time, Chrono accepts with a smile.

Ugh!

"Nuhh!?

Kneeling lizards, Kurono also covered Tengu's face at an amazing speed.

"... thankful happiness"

"Uh-huh... Well, let's try it lightly. It may be a little difficult, but I wonder if you can handle lizards. I don't have a name..."

That said, Chrono walks towards a nearby tree...

………

……

♢♢♢

A lizard that mimics the Crouching Start of Kurono.

" Supershadow.

The moment Sornada avoided the thrown dagger,

"--hh!?

There was no sound, and the lizard appeared in front of me.

The speed of detection by "Judelka's Mist" is just as fast as Sornada realizes.

"Magic manipulation and body vibration taught by the Lord. We have stepped in so far, including the technology to turn off signs.... you're right. Soon, the difference between the two lords appeared."

"What?!!

The lizard does not move to the attack, showing the difference between her husband and her.

A simple upper-stage kick was made to the solver that was rearranged in the gap.

"How many times have I done that-!?

While receiving a definite response on the left arm, the lizard kick on the opposite side is crushed in the form of a pinch.

"Cut, cum... what..."

Kageha continues to attack Solnada staggering with Yoroyoro without a step-in-law to explain.

"... this move is a releasing system, but it uses magic to leave behind.... no, I know I don't understand why. Because I'm afraid to stop talking in front of Tengu. I'll make an excuse for myself."

Magic spreads out of the body once it's released.

If magic isn't magic or magic in the first place, you can't shape anything. The sphere is exquisite.

But Chrono tells me to release the magic of the kicking leg so that it stays during the kicking movement.

That way, even if you move to other movements along the way, the magic ahead hits the opponent with the momentum of the kick.

But it's easy to say, it's hard to do.

In order to shape kicking feet with magic, delicate magic adjustments and magic manipulation are necessary, and you must remember the difficult expressions such as releasing them to leave more behind.

I spent a few days with Chrono until I was able to handle it in action. The lizard was always feathered to wear a mask or mask.

"Nugu!!

Thanks to that, the technique taught by Kurono uses the gray magic of lizards to shape kicking feet and beat the sornada hard.

If you prevent the lizard from kicking, the gray kick will hit your stomach, and if you avoid the magic kick, the brown legs will hit the goat's head.

Every time, bone fragments scatter and countless cracks are engraved on the skull of a strong monster.

Speaking of thick, the attack increases in intensity on the roots that roar narrowly.

"Nooo, nooo! But the skeletons!!

"--Have you let go of Wu? There's a gap."

Despite the lizard's turmoil, he fires more bony insects than his sleeves... but the shadow is already behind him.

"What!? Kahan...

"I'm out of luck talking about the Lord's difference."

I dropped a tiger heel sooner than Sornada tried to recall the silver sphere.

"Nh, cool..."

"─ ─"

Bacchari and the goat's head crack, kick the collapsing torso and sink into the swamp.

……

"Hah, hah, hah... did you hit him?

While struggling with the swamp, Lilia approached the lizard.

While swallowed by the swamp, he continued to surpass Kahan's Two Balls, and looked very tired.

"Ah, it's probably undead, but you can't move with that much head crushing. Thank you for holding up so well."

Kageha reached out to Lilia, who had come all the way here.

But shortly afterwards... I saw two arms protruding from the surface of the water at the edge of my vision.

Just around where the monster I kicked off earlier fell.

"Ah, thank you!?

When I said whether to touch the lizard's hand or not, I was thrown away.

"-Good!!

"Nh!!

Block the moment you push Lilia away and take a silver ball (...) at the expense of both arms.

The inside of your arm sounds like a broken bone, with intense pain.

"Kuhhhhhhh!

While being blown away, you can kick the trunk and jump to the branches of the tree, rebuild your posture and endure the pain that continues to reverberate dull in your brain.

And by training from a young age, without putting your condition on your face... you calmly grasp where Solanada is and Lilia's condition.

"Uu....."

Lilia seems to be fine.

Another ball, different from the one that flew to me, was stuck in the trunk of the tree by playing the cutlass, but Lilia emerged from the fallen swamp... and stood intact with her face covered in mud and the foul smell of muddy water.

"--Is that better than before?"

Two silver spheres fell into the swamp and lifted the sornada from its feet.

Sornada's body, which floated, was wrapped in a green magic that was said to be poisonous, and her skull was damaged and wounded.

"... I will sit down exactly as you say. If they were crushed that much, even if they were undead, they wouldn't be able to do it properly for the time being. However... this is my master's territory."

A scratch-free goat-headed butler who bows aloud on the water in the swamp.

"I'm sorry to sit down. Thank you for your lack of explanation.... another effect of Judelca's thick fog is to revive the servant... No, it's like a curse that forces you to get up again and again."

For the first time, there was fear in Lilia's eyes.

I am no longer confident of lowering that silver sphere, and the lizard is serious.

In addition, the opponent will be resurrected many times.

"But don't worry. Those of you who were surprised earlier passed the exam. I will guide you to my husband."

"Eh...."

Applause and praise, and say with a voice that is free of hostility and war.

"I'm glad...."

Lilia weakens and gets caught in the next trunk.

But....

"... your visitor"

Stop applauding and look up at the lizard sending a sharp killer on the branch.

Even though both arms were deformed in an unequal direction and were useless as a shackle, the sign was of the ruthless assassin himself.

"You don't have to fight anymore?

"I'm not going to have taken your exam. The more you ride, the less pure you are."

Lilia's chest tightened, feeling like a word directed at herself that had been easily swallowed.

"But that's the end of the line. There's only one thing that matters now. There's only one thing."

"Cock-a-boo! Let's hear it. What drives you so far? The only thing ahead of this... is death, right?

Two holes in the goat's skull glow faintly.

As a matter of fact, I passed at this point in time.

Those who were told that the test was over and came along with the saw were killed and used as wreckage. Until then, it was the role of Solanada.

A fool is not worthy of being a contractor. Because they deceive me, they take me away, and they commit foolishness.

But telling them won't stop this visitor.

"Because I talked about the difference with the Lord."

"... the fact is, I am restored by my husband's power. Are you painfully injured?

"Hmm, so what's the matter?"

Lower your hips, and your brain is in agony, so it's killing you.

"Die? What's wrong with that? Even if he dies, you're the only one who can take him down. I can't forgive that mouth alone. He despised my Lord."

Sornada shrugs her shoulders and transfers her weight to one sphere at her feet, freeing up one of the Kahan's Balls.

"--Can you stop it?"

The lizard jumped out.

"Cool! Then the pass/fail is invalid! Even the test is postponed indefinitely! Let's finish it off!!

The "Kahan's Two Sphere" runs through space with a lizard, and a large number of small bones of insects fly from the sleeves of Solnada.

"Nh, chhhh!!

"I wonder if it's sad. Most people don't have to fight at close range."

Anticipates the next jump on the surface, releasing skeletons and silver balls.

It is a lizard that speaks speedily and jumps to the trunk and branches one after the other, but the trees that scaffold are destroyed.

The relentless power and speed with which you intend to kill, as you know earlier for the exam.

As long as the scaffolding is gone, the chances of winning are limitless.

Still, the lizard's will to fight persists.

"Nh!!

Krono's words come back to mind.

"The sudden light we encounter in the dark is very dazzling."

The gratitude you get when you're weak feels too warm. Paralyze your emotions. Excessively heavy.

Maybe it's just me now.

But there is a possibility that there is more than this.

I'll do my best to make this your only place, but I want you to look at something else. I didn't help you because I wanted you to believe me. "

... so Chrono gave the lizard a choice.

But....

"Nh!!

"Ko!? What you did with me was accidental!!

Squeeze the cutlass stuck in the tree with your mouth and jump behind the sornada.

And when I saw the back of the target trying to slash it... I stopped remembering Chrono's teachings.

"-Good!?

The sphere at your feet flies over the lizard.

The silver sphere at the foot that I left behind as a countermeasure when I used "Shadowless" directly in a straight line.

Stray off track with a cutlass and escape hardship.

The cutlass was also played and stabbed in the adjacent trunk, but it would definitely be over if it jumped out like that.

(Don't be alarmed when you take the back, fight with your teeth without limbs)

At the turn of reunion, the Lord who appeared deliberately to take the back pointed out his alarm. If the tooth was alive, the Demon King also forged his chin.

Fly around again, looking for new winners.

(... first and last... only let us sing to the Lord...)

There was no point in not shining light at that time.

What is wrong with being invited by the light that was emitted at that time?

He was trained by the madness of death rather than by the mind, lost his home, stolen his family, aimed for his life, fought loneliness, continued to kill his pursuers, and stood on the verge of death.

Vanity, pity, anger, and all that comes out are negative emotions.

Then, at the last moment, what's wrong with believing in the hands that saved you from the abyss of despair?

What is the wonder with the LORD?

Maybe the Lord doesn't understand that reaching out is the norm.

You may not understand how much you were saved.

The light that convinced me of my suffering so far... this feeling for the Lord, who made me find meaning in my future life, cannot be compared to the semi-subtle words of gratitude and gratitude.

I have no doubt about dedicating the rest of my life.

I want to be the shadow of that light--that's all.

"... cu, uuuu..."

A lizard that breaks abnormally and fights with its discolored arm.

Insects and spheres rub and scratch more and more.

Blood flies, wounds to the shoulders and stomach... too much to fight for.

Lilia blamed herself for her imminent readiness for wisdom.

Sweet to Kurono, pull the lizard's feet, ready and powerless to do nothing now.

"............!!

If I didn't like it, I would reach out to the swamp without losing my legs.

A lizard thrown into a tree.

"Kageha!!

"Thanks!!

Lilia called Kageha and threw it at the top of the intact tree trunk.

The only place you can fly from anywhere.

"Nh!!

"Hmm!? What the fuck!!

Hold the knife well and tighten it tightly.

"..." The Shadow "

"Kahan's Two Balls. Hoho, if you leave it, it'll crush.

A lizard that leans perpendicular to the tree and strengthens its legs.

Sornada flies the sphere straight over the line and enjoys chatting from within the swamp.

But the lizard disappeared... and appeared on the side of the critical trunk of the water.

"The Shadow"

"Nah!?

--The skull of the goat danced through the universe.

The water surface was cracked because of the delay in leaving the shadow behind.

♢♢♢

"... hmm, it's healed. Now we can scout."

Confirm the feeling of both arms, and check once again the excitement of your body.

"Good... But if it's the second one (...), it's on top of that...."

Kageha and Lilia paused as they crossed the tree and moved on.

The bad smell of this swamp sticks to my body, but I don't care anymore.

"Hmm... Hey, what's up?

Kageha asks about Lilia's loot.

"Cool. My husband is not comparable to me. Besides... can you hold it more firmly?

Only the goat's skull was talking on Lilia's chest.

A hard-won victory in two consecutive rounds that was possible because of insufficient "The Shadow".

He chopped his neck off, bagged his torso and hung it on a tree before it was regenerated, and carried it with his head only to guide him along the way.

"If you don't want to be turned into a bone powder in a bowl, you have to give me more specific information."

"Scary!?

The lizard that threatens to give concrete information and present a specific method of torture freezes the spine that Sornada once put in fear.

"Gh, even if you say specifically.... I already say... this swamp is all Molly's territory. If Molly cares, there is one magic trick to hide anywhere in the swamp, and even now we are dust."

……

"In the first place, this swamp itself is where Molly made it."

Both Lilia and Kageha will be consolidated into battle.

The monster is said to have created the Curse Wetland.

I can't tell you that this Sornada will be killed anywhere in the swamp.

The more we exceed expectations, the more the dimensions are really different.

"... I'm completely defeated, so let me advise you, and you'll die if you run away. He dies on his way.... but if I talk to Molly, I don't know if I'll survive... or if I'll survive."

"If I hadn't told you about the fog, I'd have been more suspicious..."

A fog that heals sornada's wounds and shows signs of movement.

If that is due to the magic of [Demon of the Swamp], the words of this Sornada will also... and the lizard will sneak in.

"Can I have another one?

If you're talking about martial arts, it's bone powder.

Solanada, who enjoyed the conversation, had Lilia listen to her martial arts story earlier.

"No, it's not. I wanted to give you one important piece of information to thank you for telling me."

"... say it."

"Almost there.

"What?

♢♢♢

"I'm here to..."

From the heart of the land, the ruler of the swamp sounds.

In the shadow of the tree on the right side of the land... there were lizards and lilia, and a head-only sornada.

I caught the sign.... it's unusual, Sornada "

"Honestly, I'm not sorry. If it's too late, I'm ready to take it with me."

Kaka! That's it!

……

Sornada feels uncomfortable with Molly, who is in a good mood.

Certainly, the lizards were satisfied personally, but by their own standards.

From Molly's point of view, it's like a stone on the side of the street.

But you have to let them do it one by one. You wait there. "

"... do you want to sit down in order?

Even Solnada is an unintended word.

"............!? Up there!"

Hoo, did you notice?

Molly is impressed by lizards who looked up at the sky before anyone else.

From above... there is a shadow dancing down without destroying the [Demon of the Swamp].

― ― A group of blue fog monsters.

A huge body that sprays fog like wings and is much stronger and thicker than before.

The aura should be called frenzy rather than ferocity.

There is no reason that was slightly felt before, and there is only one thought that will destroy Molly.

"Nah, what a..."

Cool! I wonder if it's completely atrophic since I left unusually... my stomach is swollen (...)?

[Swamp Demon] Molly laughed joyfully at the smell of death drifting from the fog monster's mouth.

---------!!

Cuckoo! Good! The more you say you're tied up, the better your grief will be. Let's do it again. "

A loud scream from the scream of the "bamboo ceremony" echoing beyond the Kars wetlands.

The Master of the Swamp and the Artificial Demon Beast's WWII lid were cut and dropped.

♢♢♢

Some beasts have certain characteristics.

I will eat the flesh and blood of living beings, and make the magic that dwells in them mine.

Some have such characteristics.

There are individual differences in magic, including race, demonic race, and subrace, all the way to dragons.

Quality, quantity, color, etc.

They are familiar only with themselves, and even if something else is incorporated into them in some way, they will quickly spray up.

One thing that has the nature of overturning it ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

………

……

"... fu, isn't that nice? Excellent. I rarely see anything like this. It's not good for the villagers."

"Ugh, ubu!?

A tragic situation that I am not accustomed to several times.

A tragedy caused by Zancok's malicious intentions and the "satirical formula" that increases power every time he turns (...).

"I had a huge argument about the future of the village... hmm? What is this belt? I've never seen anything like it. Hanam, help me."

This is the old man who miraculously survived the attack of the "Summon Monster Formula" and slashed Zancok... without difficulty.

It seemed that villagers were gathering and discussing something in front of the snow-capped vacant area last night.

I was an old man who raided it and survived, but the villagers who brought only agricultural tools, even if the sword was good, couldn't beat the military... they scattered tears.

Zancok is about to rip it off because it was a splendid sword and belt.

"Ugh, shh, Second Lieutenant. This is our last base... but there are too many dead bodies..."

Hanham, who was unable to contain his nausea in the first village, managed to overcome it here, following Zancok and helping him strip the belt.

"Second Lieutenant, why don't we just leave it in the corner house? It can be a hassle to dig holes, and it can be a hassle to light a fire outdoors."

I suggest to Zancok before one of the crew gets a cumbersome order.

"Hmm, that's right. That's it. You take command."

Ha!

Zancok returns to stripping work.

"Now!... those [swamp demons] will be able to do it together. Fuhaha, wash your neck and wait..."

The eyes of an old man who had just died were weeping with carelessness.
