The Heavenly Wings Knights are excellent for everyone on the membership. But the only one of them that could be described as a real genius was Leon. Instead of one head, the vessel itself as an Explorer (Seeker) is completely different.
Not only is he outstanding as a knight (night), but he also plays the role of a command tower while serving as a wall player (tank), besides mastering non-standard technology that can accelerate from zero to top speed in an instant.
The alias Heavenly Wings, named by a reporter, was an indication of its Leon's peculiar abilities.
And the sword of his knight is like the wings of heaven, which he saith well.
In other words, Leon is the Heavenly Wings Knights. If the other three are replaced by someone else, as long as Leon is around, they will be called the Heavenly Wings Knights. But no one would call the Heavenly Wings Knights without Leon, even if the other three remained.
No matter how hard I try, I can't stand a situation where I'm always treated only as an accompaniment to Leon. No, no one with decent sensibilities would be able to bear it.
Kym, who understood the distortions of the Heavenly Wings Knights, was trying to support it with his own devotion. Indeed, the Heavenly Wings Knights bond is strong. But it is also true that the bond is painfully connected with three other people besides Leon straying from the 'pus' named jealousy, which continues to accumulate in their own minds.
If I looked straight at it, I would never have been able to bear it. That's why the three of them kept running desperately, trying to be Leon's worthy companion. Because while you're running, you don't have to be aware of the darkness in your own mind. Whilst, when you stop swimming, you die, like some roving fish.
But something like that is false. One day it is bound to collapse. At that time, the 'pus', which had been accumulating over the years, would explode greatly.
I made contact with the three of them and told them to betray me. But that's not what I meant. Even if those three can keep fooling themselves, there comes a time when Leon of the day will not believe in the abilities of the three. In other words, you can no longer be treated as a reciprocal companion, and that will end up pushing the three of you away. I described the ending as "Leon's Betrayal" and imprinted it. And I made him realize the escape route called 'Freedom'.
The purpose is one.
In a battle with a mighty enemy named the Devil's Eye Babylon King (Dantalion), the Heavenly Wings Knights will always be forced to fight so hard that they have to sacrifice someone. But Leon would never admit such a battle. In doing so, the emotions that I had avoided direct vision combined with my imprinted words were aimed at eliminating Leon as a traitor within the three others who had realized their powerlessness. In that case, the Heavenly Wings Knights become de facto shedding.
If you think calmly, it is an avoidable situation. But a party is something that can't always be calm. I don't need great power or anything to move people's minds. Just as there is the word ant hole, if you put a slight crack in the embankment of your heart, that's all you need.
All you have to do is wait for the embankment to cut off. An uncontrollable pus would overflow in an instant and turn into a fierce passion. The only path left to those driven by passion and trying to escape suffering is to make them leaders, eliminate Leon, the traitor, and free them from the 'cage' called the Heavenly Wings Knights.
Are you actually transferring to action where fate is Kym, Ophelia in the next point, Vlacaf in the big hole, etc.? Well, for me, anyone.
I stopped fighting so I came to see how it was going, but it still seemed to carry things exactly as I thought. The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) is alive and well and is nowhere to be seen in the Heavenly Wings Knights. Perhaps he's lurking somewhere, using a hidden junction. This means that it is impossible to continue the fight.
When I looked around and found a place where the grass was unnaturally bent, I bowed politely.
"Dear Heavenly Wings Knights, Thank you for your hard work in exposing up to this point"
In fact, thanks to the Heavenly Wings Knights sweeping away the miscellaneous fish, we were able to reach the Demon-Eyed Bamboo King (Dantalion) without any difficulty. Of course, this is part of the plan.
In the first place, this exam is a contest, but I wasn't willing to fight the Heavenly Wings from the front from the start. The interpersonal rules we set up via Harold are simply to drag the Heavenly Wings Knights out into the battlefield against me to avoid killing and yet hasten the offense. The Knights of the Heavenly Wings, who ran ahead, acted as a brilliant exposé and exited.
There are no more miscellaneous fish that were troublesome, and the Heavenly Wings Knights have already made it impossible to continue the fight. All you have to do is get the main dish without anyone bothering you.
"A toy! A toy! Atarashii, toys!
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) who found me is happy to slap his hands together over his head. The figure is the monkey itself, but you can't be alarmed. From past combat records, we know exactly how cunning and troublesome this demon (Beast) is. Otherwise, the Heavenly Wings Knights would never have been defeated.
But not my enemy. I smiled with ease.
"Nice to meet you, the devil-eyed baboon king. I'm Noel Stolen."
"Noel! Noel! Oreno, toys!
"Unfortunately, I'm not going to be your toy. You're gonna get killed by me. And from its fur to its flesh to its bones and guts and a drop of blood, let it make the most of it. I'm sorry?"
"Cacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacavada! Sinuno, Noel! Sinuno, Noel!
"You think so? Then I'll prove it to you. - Come on, let's kill each other, monkey bastard."
†
†
My killing-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) jumps right at me. But before that, I gave the order.
"Kouga, do it"
Tactical Skill: Morale (Battle Voice).
Tactical Skills: Tactician Deployment.
Ranking up and becoming a tactician turned some of my speaking skills into tactical skills. Morale boosts (battle voices) and tactical deployments (tacticians) have both seen their support (buff) values rise from 25 percent to 40 percent.
Supported (Buff) Kouga strikes the demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) from a tree over his head. The demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion), who had no sense of its existence, flew away surprised by the raid. Kouga's knife ends up just plundering the tip of his nose.
"Gigi? Omaetachi...... Naze...... Naze?
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) is surprised because he couldn't read our minds. Of course, we can't use 'perfect heavenly wings' like Leon. However, with training to observe each other's mind movements using thought sharing (links), we have been able to be infinitely closer. If you act within a single breath from a stationary state, you can perform "Heavenly Wings".
"Kouga, clear mirror water stop"
"Respond!"
When the next instruction (order) was given, Kouga closed his eyes.
Sword Skill: Clear Mirror Water Stop.
It can only be activated when the eye is closed, doubling sensing abilities other than vision. Plus, it's a skill that always triples the attack speed and attack power.
The Rigid Arm of the Devil's Eye Babylon King (Dantalion) was swung down by our eyes. But Kouga's knife deflects that mighty blow from orbit. The deviation from orbit led to the attack of the devil-eyed Babylonian (Dantalion) landing in the wrong direction.
It's a horrible divine business, my friend. Now it's horrible because it's still C-ranked.
"Gigigi!? Giggy!!!
Perplexed, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) has unleashed many beatings, all of them without a kouga knife.
This offensive is not made up of 'Heavenly Wings'. Kouga isn't trying to attack, it's because he prioritizes the counter. There is no clear movement of mind there, just a reflective response to information other than vision.
Therefore, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) could not surpass Kouga by reading his mind.
But your physical abilities are far higher than those of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion). Instead of a series of hits, if Kouga releases such a powerful blow that it breaks the antagonism. The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) noticed it and shook up his fist greatly. At that moment, I was jumping into my nostalgia and pulling out Silver - the Demon Gun (Silver Flame).
Demon Bullet - Spiritual Medullary Bullet (Garm Barrett).
Ultra-high purity magic conductors purified from the bone marrow fluids of the Nine Demons of Depth (Beast) and Ghost Wolf Dogs (Garm), as well as a demon bullet containing unattributed explosive magic skills. If it lands, the magic conductor absorbs the target's magic and causes an outburst. By its very nature, the more magic the subject has, the more effective it is.
Spiritual Medullary Bullet (Garm Barrett), landed.
In a moment, an explosion occurs in the abdomen of the demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion), blowing its giant. I almost got caught in an explosion, and I was rescued out of range by Kouga.
"Gahhhhhhhh!!!!!"
The demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion), whose abdomen did not open, was exposed and overflowing with blood.
"Haha, boulders are 10 million phil demon rounds a shot"
There are two Spiritual Medullary Bullets (Garm Barrett) prepared for this battle. Laughter comes in more overwhelming power than I expected.
Keep your gaze on the painful, boring, devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) and think about whether you should chase him or not. It's a great chance, but there's still the possibility of getting a painful counterattack. Besides, I can't shoot a spiritual cord bullet (Garm Barrett) without shooting correction skills.
"Kouga, can we go?
"I can't. He's so hard. It's a crocodile knife. It's got teeth."
Kouga knows all my skills by training. This means that my strongest skill, the Coalition Meter (Raid Command) Support (Buff) effect, does not cause damage.
"Okay. Let's do as we started."
When I laid down my policy, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) rose with a curse. The Beast of Hands is horribly insane, but the Demon of Hands (Beast) sucks in circles. The three eyes of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion), who rolls his fierce slaughter, are filled with abominable hatred for me.
"Omae, Nazeda...... Soccino, Otokoto, Chigau...... Kokologa, Mattak, Yomenai...... Nazeda...... giggle...... gaggle!!!
"Trade secrets, I just wanted to say, but I feel good today, so let's give a hint. Me and you, we're good together. Oh, great."
In the first place, I was the one who designated the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion). I told Harold to do the exam with this demon (Beast). It would have been nice to have a ghost (undead) demon (beast) who could take advantage of a ghost (exorcism) if it was true, but unfortunately there were no affordable objects in the world.
But this demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) is also an easy-to-fight demon (Beast) for me. The reason is simple. Because I can completely disable the ability to read the mind of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion).
The trick is that I can think fast by virtue of my function (job). Even if you try to read my mind, if you raise the speed of thought beyond the readable range of the Devil's Eye Babylon King (Dantalion), it will be impossible to read it as something that makes sense. I couldn't help but dive into the pocket of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) because I was speeding up my thinking.
"Looks like you're the one who's gonna be the toy."
When I smile and provoke, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) turns his hair upside down with anger.
"COLOS COLOS COLOS COLOS COLOS COLOS COLOS, COLOS TUAH!!!!
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) picked up the stone that was rolling on the ground and swayed it wide.
"Kouga, Sakura Kazaki"
Sword Skill: Cherry Blossom Rage.
Skills that carry out countless slaughters in one swing.
A stone shotgun fired by the demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) collided with the countless slaughters of Kouga in the air. The crushed stone becomes sand and dust to cover the perimeter. In that smokescreen, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) was approaching us all at once.
"Well, I was reading it."
I've already pointed Silver at the muzzle. But shooting here would be mild. So I turned fast thinking into fast split thinking.
"Gah!?
Soon after, the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) suffered with his head in his arms. For him, the situation is like being surrounded by adults and shouting in his ears at the same time, if you like. I would have endured it from the state I was in, but I can't possibly be upset by a totally unexpected attack.
"I knew it would go well with you"
I squeeze Silver's trigger.
Spiritual Medullary Bullet (Garm Barrett), landed.
On the verge, the demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) took evasive action, but the demon bullet landed on its right arm. An outburst of magic chops off the right arm of the Demon-Eyed Bamboo King (Dantalion).
"Gahhhhh!!! Udegaaaaaaaa!!!
Blood runs out of the wounds of the demon-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) who has lost his arm, like a fountain. It's a waste, even though that blood sells high.
"Omae...... yursanai...... yursanaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion), who spewed the cursed word, stuck his finger in the third eye on his forehead. And choosing out those eyes.
"Ko, kolede... mou, atama, itakunai... kiki..."
"Oh, yeah."
"Sineyeyeyeyeeeeeeeeee!!!
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) has thrust in tremendous momentum. True, my thought attacks don't work anymore than I've thrown away my ability to read minds. Instead, however, skills that could not be used when the mind was being read became available.
Speech Skills: Thought Sharing (link).
Skill of sharing thoughts with peers by reading. There was a risk of damage being done to the target while still thinking fast, but I don't fear that they will read the measures anymore.
"I'm ready. Shoot him, Alma. '
I give instructions (orders) to Alma, who was waiting at the entrance to the abyss.
"Speed increase (accelerator) - twelve times (dudecapur) heh!
I didn't hear Alma. But really, I should have said so.
Flying objects far beyond sound speed rely on my thought-sharing (link). Without diminishing its momentum, it is in a straight line with the Demon-Eyed Babylonian (Dantalion).
Alma today is a scout, not a scout. Ranked up and became Assassin.
Alma, who said he wanted to be an assassin, suggested a tactic to me. Assassins are avant-garde, but with conditions in place, they can launch ranged attacks that are superior to rear guards. It was a tactic of stacking speed increases (accelerators) to the limit from outside the target's perception and staging an ambush. In other words, it is a human shell.
I found it amusing and admitted to being an assassin. And decided to let that tactic live in this battle.
Assassin Skill: Increased Speed (Accelerator).
Assassin Skill: Falcon Strike (Quick Attack).
Being an Assassin allowed Alma to multiply the speed increase (accelerator) by up to twelve times, and increased the skill effect of a falcon's blow (quick attack), which increases damage depending on speed. That's where my support (buff) comes in.
Tactical Skills: Tactician Deployment.
And Tactical Skills: Total of the Coalition (Raid Command).
The total number of coalitions that became tactical skills (raid commands) increased the increase in attack skills from tenfold to fifteenfold. Alma's supported (Buff) blow will kill even the Demon of Depth 8 (Beast).
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) has already noticed Alma. They change the target from us to Alma and try to wipe it out with their remaining arms, but that's pointless behavior.
Assassin Skill: Evasive of Spirituality (Ghost).
Alma activates a skill that spiritualizes and becomes untouchable by anyone for a period of five seconds. The timing was derived from my high-speed predictions of the future. The settlement arrives in a moment. That was within the firm prediction of the future. Spiritualization Avoidance (Ghost) is a skill that can only be used once every 24 hours, but this is the end of the fight.
Having spiritualized and disabled the attack, Alma immediately materializes and wears a knife around the neck of the Devil's Eye Babylon King (Dantalion). Instead of piercing him, he pierced Alma's body and flew his neck.
The neck of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) rolls to the ground and the giant who lost his neck collapses. The battle ended with our victory.
"Combat Action, End"
When I give the last instruction, Kouga and Alma enter the scene. In particular, the exhaustion of the alma subjected to recoil of the meter of the coalition (assault command) is significant. I just wanted to work on it, but I needed to get it done before then.
"Hey, you're still alive"
I approach the neck of the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) and speak up.
"Gigi, gigigi... yokumo... yokumo..."
The devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion) was still alive even after his neck was amputated. You'll be out of breath soon, but it's tremendous vitality.
"Before you die, I want to ask you something. You know the Demon King (Lord) with a man made axe of war? There are two horns in his forehead."
"Hih!... Na, Nanimo, Nanimo... Shiranai... Shirana, I..."
The light disappears from the eyes of the Devil's Eye Bamboo King (Dantalion). He denied it with his mouth, but it was as if he feared the Demon King (Lord) I asked him, and that made him a toddler.
"Shit, should I have heard it out while I was fine..."
It was when I hit my tongue. Unexpectedly Kouga screams out loud.
"Joshaaaaaa!!! I'll rank you up with this too!!!
Kouga turns to me and shows me the back of his right hand. There, a knife-shaped print was floating. Apparently, defeating the Demon-Eyed Bamboo King (Dantalion) allowed him to reach the prescribed level of experience and rank up.
"Oh, you did it. Congratulations."
"Yattaaaaaa!!!
Kouga jumping around with great joy. Again, it seemed hard to be out of company only being C-ranked. We'll celebrate when we get back to Imperial City.
"Noel, you..."
It was Kym who called me. Apparently, he unlocked the hidden bond, and now he can see the Heavenly Wings Knights. As expected, Leon is injured.
"You, from the beginning... all..."
It seems Kym finally found out that we were connected to Harold because we lightly defeated the devil-eyed baboon king (Dantalion).
"YOU YEAH!!!
An exasperated Kym rushes up to me, but that hand never reaches me.
Just in the middle of me and Kym, people come down. Outside the Tree Sea, I've been watching the end of this exam, it was Inspector Harold.
"Good luck to both parties. The battle was the only one I could see. So here are the results."
Harold looks over at us and puts up his voice.
"Winner, Aether (Blue Beyond)! I hereby acknowledge the creation of the Clan! In contrast, the Heavenly Wings Knights of the Losers ask you to dissolve the party immediately as pledged!
As a result, Kym slammed his mouth to say something, but left it unspeakable. True, I was through with Harold. We set the stage for a favorable battle. But the Heavenly Wings also had a chance to win. It is up to them to fail to take advantage of it. No longer, the Heavenly Wings Knights' hearts were completely broken. You won't have the strength to take revenge on me.
"Noel."
Alma stood by me at some point.
"Now I have a track record. And then there's power."
"I know. That's the plan."
Answering in a whisper so that he could not hear his surroundings, Alma frowned.
"... are you really going to keep that man company?
"If that's the case, we've discussed it enough."
"I'm not dissatisfied. If that man becomes one of us, we'll be stronger. But can you really be one of us? After all these results?
"Naturally. In the first place, I targeted the Heavenly Wings, not just because they were the strongest in the B-Rank Band. Because we have Leon Frederick of Heavenly Wings."
I laughed when I glanced sideways at Leon, who was constantly breathing.
"He'll be one of us. Never."
