Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 17: Magic in Blood

Open the front door of Gundo's mansion and Hucto and the others step in.

"It's huge....."

The entrance has a vast empty space, no furniture, and a staircase to the second floor leading from the front to both sides.

And a painting big enough to cover the walls above the front staircase.

Named "Gundo's Smile", Gundo was the only person who was smiling.

"--I hope you're finally here. It was supposed to be early for my brother's opinion."

Low-height, muscular body and beard covering the mouth.

He is Gundo's younger brother, the dwarf (Hammer).

Raise your hips from the stairs with a boneless and giant hammer.

…………

The door behind Hakt and the others was quietly closed.

Turning a blink of an eye, what was there was armor made of too heavy a rock.

He held the tall one in his right hand, the mace in his left hand, and was there like a figurine.

"Yikes!! [Ohh (Pavis)], I wonder if it would be a big job that took a year. Don't mud my brother's face.

"... this is what I haven't done in a long time."

[Dayan], who seems lazy, and [Breaking the castle hammer], who is motivated enough.

"... Hack, change of plans."

"Again!?

Well, here we go again.

Hakuto is supreme in an operation that has changed in just a fraction of a minute.

I'm not smart, so please give me a break.

"Ready? The [broken castle hammer] in front of me, the [big hammer] behind me... and there's another one on the second floor on the right. Maybe it's a [throw (onager)]."

"Whoever I'm dealing with....."

"I don't mind telling you, Bren, but perhaps if you turn your back badly, you will be targeted by [throwing]. That's why you do Lance and the [Big Bow] in the back. I'll do the [broken castle hammer]."

"... what about [throwing]?

"Leave that to me.... let's go!!

The jumping horse wrapped the flame in both hands and hit the [broken castle hammer].

"Ghhh, let's do it!!

"Damn, that's a mess. Oraa!!"

Seeing the [broken castle hammer] pushed by the quick combination of horses, [throwing] began to cover him.

…………

"If we don't try to find him, he'll be our target. We'll do it ourselves in the meantime, Mr. Hack."

"Ah, ahh."

Inspired by Lance, Hokto pulls out a one-handed sword on his waist, surprised at the power of the rolling horse.

"Okay? Not only Gundo, but these two avant-garde fighters can also use the Magic Thundercracker. However, this move cannot be used continuously except by Gundo. Because immediately afterwards, it becomes paralyzed and defenseless for a while."

Holding the assault spear, Lance instructed him to take the usual sloppy, lost signs.

"Speaking clearly, I feel like I've seen it... it's pretty hard to take it down. Without Throw , you'd better ignore it, because this space is too big to be targeted...... I'm sorry because I didn't think it was so wide for such an unknown purpose.

"No, I'm fine, but do I have to take this guy down to help Bren?

"That's what it is.... I'll do it!!

Step in and push the sharp assault spear out at high speed.

It is obvious from Hakt's eyes that semi-life armor and other pieces are sharp enough to break through lightly.

But... they'll play it.

It was as if a needle had been poked into the armor of a rock.

"Nh!!... it's a little troublesome after all."

…………

Lance, who avoided hitting him with a large bow instead of a mace, murmured with a sigh.

"---Say!!

Huct, who quickly turned behind him, hurried at the gap in his armor.

"... hmm"

"Shit!

Just move a little and you'll be hindered by rock armor.

"... heh"

Lance was honestly impressed by Hakto, who showed much better movement and concentration than he had heard.

In short, it may be a one-on-one or a type that exerts power when the purpose is clear.

"No, it's fine, Hakt-kun. In the end, we have no choice but to twist the poke between the armor. Let's fight it fast."

"Ok!!

And instructing Hakuto to be pleasant is unexpectedly stiff.

I secretly decided I had to make a decision before I could use my weapon.

But whether there was a compatibility problem or not, the two attackers were lacking in decision-makers.

Silently and lazily, [Daiyu] shows small movements from time to time...

"... Magic Thundercracker (Blitz)"

"* giggle *!

A thundering magic mace relentlessly recessed the side of the assault spear.

"Oraa!!

…………

Let go of the large bow of the right hand and catch Hakuto's one-handed sword from behind with a similar material nail.

"Hmm!?... * giggle *, your hands are numb..."

Is it a series of flows? Hakto avoided a blow with his shield at a speed that he was good at.

Had it not been specifically designed to be easy to grip, it would not have lost grip by now.

Heavy noises can be heard a little further away.

This man is too robust to spend much time fighting with two horses in one.

…………

A boring look was sent to both of them from a slight gap in the helmet.

"I wanted to leave this to Seuma-san... But... I don't hate hardship."

Lance's face rearranges the assault spear with a clear intent to kill.

"--Yikes!!

"Nh...."

With a spear poking in a straight line, I struck the Dayan with more strength and weakness.

Whether blocked by shields or maces, or disabled by armor, it doesn't matter.

"Nh...!?

However, gradually, the tip of the hot spring sways, and the Daiyu , which was getting accustomed to the stupid trajectory until then, begins to be taunted.

― ―

The tip jumped in a sudden change of direction and grabbed the helmet.

The shield could not go through the changes in the spear and could not defend itself.

"...... nh, chi..."

Remember the existence of the other with one hand sword that struck the back of the head.

As you breathe together, it makes sense that the strength of the pair (tag) increases.

Before the weapon breaks, I'll skewer it out of the helmet gap... When I came here, [Ogura] began to be aware of the danger.

So, um...

The head was struck hard by the belly of the assault spear.

"Hakt-kun!!

"-Laaaaaa!!

In a small gap between his flanks, he threw a sword with one hand behind his back.

The definite feeling of penetrating the meat, the feeling of disgust is still so much stronger -

"--Gaha!?

It was Lance's angry voice.

"Eh...?

"Gh!!

Looking at it, the thrown mace grabbed Lance's leg and was now poking at him in a big jar.

"I don't want to..."

A lazy voice that sounds over the helmet.

It is not the voice of a man who is now decapitated by a sword around his ribs.

"You don't feel pain!? - Whoo!?

Looking back at the stabbed sword, he grabbed Hakto's neck and lifted it up.

"Nah... don't let the fish bother you"

"Uhh... ah..."

(Ah, is this guy doing magic grass or something...?

Lance, who stood up to support the spear while fluttering, came up with the medicinal herb first.

Some species of magic grass have the effect of relieving some pain and elevating your mind.

Of course, most had dependencies and side effects, most of which were illegal to take.

"Ahh... I'm already... in agony at night, this wound...... what are you going to do?"

"Gah... ah..."

"Hakt-kun!!

Slip through the broken thighs and rush towards Lance.

(That sucks... I can't let go of my hand. Hurry up, Lance...!

We can't afford to leave these levels alone.

All I can hope for is a gavel of electric shocks passing by at an incredible speed.

Knowing that, [Daiyu] pulls out the flank sword and throws it away. Lance increases his grip by adding or removing it in time.

"... this guy, too... I don't know what that means..."

"What the hell...!!

I tried to cut my armor with the White Knife, resisting the five fingers that were stuck in my neck.

"--That's why, for such a worthless kid...."

Ha...?

Hakt's movements stopped.

"... what? You gave up?

A deeply unfortunate murmur that can be heard from the helmet.

I want to ask myself.

Why would you do that?

Why should an innocent child be looked down on by a thug like him?

Why should such a man despise you with insulting words?

Why? Can such a man be forgiven?

Can I speak as much as I like about thugs?

Should I let it go?

Demon King, shock, this one.

What is it?

As you slowly intersect, a number of self-questions circulate through your brain.

And passion leads to only one simple answer.

The special power at the bottom whispers that the answer is absolutely correct.

--If you don't want to forgive, don't forgive.

Don't forgive any crime, no selfishness, no malice, no life.

".............................."

"Ahh...?

[Taiyu] listens to the murmur of Hakto who grabbed his nails with his right hand fixed with splints.

"... shut up"

Language that speaks to the roots of existence.

Ahhh!?

When I think of Hakt's eyes shining in gold, a pure white magic flashes in his right hand.

At that moment, the sturdy nails of [Taiyu] were crushed like thin ice.

"-----!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

"Pa, [Pavis]!!

Even his forearm...

Shattered bones burst through the flesh, and blood dripped from the tip of the tip.

"... hey, seriously..."

…………

Even the cold sweaty sows and lance have high purity magic that keeps the cold from stopping.

"Shut up....."

"Nh!! Ahh, ghh......"

Released from restraint, the hack poking at the buttocks snapped and whispered his magic in his right hand.

With the inorganic qualities of the previous day, I remembered the golden eyes that felt something unknown at the bottom, but while moaning in pain, I turned to Hakuto.

But the eyes of Hakt staring at us were as ordinary as before.

The temperament is just different...

"Kh...... ahh, don't get sick of it... I can't believe he and this guy are the same person...."

Hakt rose to his feet and threw up a better encounter than a worse one.

For a moment, I felt like I was whitening my head in extreme rage and murmuring something, but when I saw a man suffering in front of me, my anger burst again.

…………

Gather the power in your right hand that is about to freeze from your inner soul.

With just one drop of your face, this magic is going to make you completely different.

Like erosion... No, it seeps out deep into the everlasting darkness.

It is deeply frightening and deeply disturbing.

But if I turn around, that's all this magic is broken.

"............"

The white light converging on the right palm is dazzling, cold and arrogant...

In addition to that, there is now a good technique.

A power trick taught by a gentle man who doesn't want to be like this man in front of him.

I don't know body art like a man. Extremely delicate magical manipulation and pure power.

But that trustworthy man said this magic is special and this move is perfect.

"─!!

The rushing hack's feet are crushing.

"Hmm!? Connoo, kid!!

But the speed was just right with the Daiyu pride shield Magic Lightning Strike Blitz .

"--Nhhhhhhhh!!

A lightning bolt from the right hand rushed against the proud shield, stupidly hitting a hack that ran in a straight line.

"Hmm!! ---!?

However, there is no response that should come back to me.

Because it is small, it is not a small response or a small crush. At that speed, there can be no sudden stop or detour.

At that time...

The gap between the helmets is slightly shaded.

Straight above the sticking out shield, behind you.

And then I realize.

The technique I used to rush out again jumped over the big bowl.

"Ooooooooo!!

It's usually not a crisis for you to have undamaged body armor.

However, I struck a series of "magic lightning strikes" with a heavy load, turning around.

With that white light, maybe...

――――

"─ ─"

As if you were looking at the tip of the sword, your inorganic eyes suddenly shut up.

"... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

The bottom of the palm with magic to its limits was struck by rock-like armor.

White Bomb.

At the same time as striking the base of the palm, it emits magic to penetrate the abdomen of the palm.

Even without some unusual abilities like that of a man, the magical qualities of Hakt are unimaginable.

Even those who have fought through the battle of attacking the castle are the armor of war.

"--------------------------!!"

With the white magic transmitted like waves, the great armor is shattered to pieces by screaming.

Even if the flowing magic armor turns into fine wood dust, it will blow up the villain who survived the rupture.

Like a drained stone, it jumps lightly.

"Gahhhhhhhh..."

It collides with the wall, making it appear as silent as it might be.

"Hah, hah, hah..."

"Su, that's amazing... I can't give this power to Seuma-san..."

Disturbed by far more power than expected, Lance claps her shoulders in praise as she draws her feet to a breathtaking hack.

"Thank you, Hakto. I pulled my leg somehow. This is your victory."

"No... thank you so much..."

"Come on, we're almost there."

"Nh...!

If you look toward Lance's finger, you can see a horse attacking the [broken castle hammer] while avoiding the [throwing] stone.

Those scratches get the rules of battle between the two, and the bright flames of both hands vividly shake violently.

And then...

Noooooooo...

"Nh!!

"Nuh!?

The horse jumped unnaturally as it tried to intercept with a big hammer in preparation for a match.

"Boo!? Dodge!! [Broken City Hammer]!!

"─!? Nhhhhh!!

The stone that was about to be thrown from behind the pulled horse was shattered with a hammer in a hurry.

(I'm fucked!!

Apparently, [Throw] was watching the timing of the throw and guiding the trajectory to overlap with [Broken Mallet].

Regardless of [broken castle hammer], I usually don't have any such cooperation at all, and I am weak in head [throwing], but I could not have noticed it.

"Now fall down!!

"Nuh!? Oh no!!

Reflectively raise a gavel to defend against the approaching horse while rotating vertically in the air.

"--Giant Gate!!

A spinning heel drop by a temporarily fierce flaming foot.

"What, show me your brother's armband..."

As soon as the heel touched the handle of the hammer, the [broken hammer] was swallowed by an explosion.

"--Cut..."

When the blast flame that hit my whole body disappeared from my face, I saw a [broken castle hammer] that kept standing even as it burned.

"Two, strong... But is he still alive even if he does that...?

"Surely I'm surprised you didn't die instantly with Souma's moves. But... it's over."

... [Broken castle hammer] exhaled smoke from his mouth, and it was clear that he was on the verge of fainting.

"Ha, [broken castle hammer], stop already!!

"... that's right. I won this time. Just give it back, you kids."

The humiliation of kidnapping a child with only a good arm is even more unacceptable.

"I'm kidding... I am my brother's..."

"--Are you saying that again?

Your spine is shaking like a horse or lance.

The man comes down the stairs with a loud, calm voice.

"Ah, brother...."

"Noho ho ho. Daido, losing is losing. Mr. Seuma is strong. There's nothing to be ashamed of.... and that. Even if I defeat Seuma-san....."

The intriguing gaze of Gundo turns towards the gray-haired boy.

"Ugh...!

"... I see you again. I'm still here. I didn't know that the boy at that time had so much to offer. I didn't see anything."

Hakt is unexpectedly scared by Gundo, who tells stories that make him feel amazed.

Gently position Lance to cover.

"Nohoho, don't worry about it."

"Shh!!

Gundo's nose, where the cigar is taken out, is swallowed by a horse's forged flaming fist.

"Sesame!!

…………

Hakto shouted with expectations... without showing a slight reaction, and with a cold sweat flowing to Gundo, whose neck did not turn back at all.

Lance.

No, instead of being defenseless, take out the cigar as usual...

"Gh...!?

"May I borrow your fire... mufu ~ ~"

I grabbed the horse's arm and lit the cigar with fire.

Then lift the sour from your armpits like holding a baby...

"... do you understand? I see signs of numbness on this skin. The castle itself has a magnificent temperament. Finally, our feast begins.

"Nh, what are you saying...?"

Far behind Gundo, Souma and Lance notice it.

"Well, what's the matter... it's so hard..........!?

"... right? I'm outside."

When I caught the sign a little late, Hakt's movements also stopped.

The signs are so intense that it can be concluded.

There's definitely someone nearby...
