Royal Capital Disturbance -Defeat-
Venom and Arios’ fight continued in the plaza outside
the church.
The outlook was bad for Venom.
The difference in their strength can’t be covered with
just luck, but it could be said that he’d been fighting pretty well.
(Tch! As I expected, this is hard.)
Venom thought so while regenerating the left arm that
had been cut.
At this rate, his defeat was just a matter of time.
It hadn’t been three minutes since the fight started.
However, he could sense that the people had begun
evacuating from the place, Venom guessed that Masayuki had conducted it well.
He buying some time seemed to be turning out well.
(Well
now. To defeat this guy, my power is definitely not enough. If there’s some
kind of chance ――
）
Even though he knew that the situation is getting worse
gradually, he has no other choice but to continue with the intense offense and
defense.
In order to break from this situation, Venom needs to
think of a plan――
「
We’re
late, but we’ll help!
」
「
I
will try my best not to hold you down!
」
The
arrival of Kenya and Ryouta changed the situation.
「
You
kids, I don’t want to be hated by Agera, so don’t die!
」
Venom shouted while dealing with Arios’ attack.
To be honest, Venom was irritated of the idea of
borrowing the children’s power.
However, his defeat is just a matter of time, so it’s
not the time to complain.
(Both of them are strong! Well, I will use them.)
That
was what Venom really thinks.
「
I
get it! Shishou has said it many times.
」
「
Yea.
If we died here without his permission, Shishou would probably kill you……
」
The two said so.
And
then,
「
For
that reason, let’s go all out!
」
「
Kenya,
we’re using
that
?
」
「
Yeah!
Spiritual Armament
?
Reforged――
Activate!
」
Glittering lights wrapped both Kenya and Ryouta.
And then, the arms they got from Rimuru were worn on
their body.
It was the armor that Rimuru made with Hinata’s
spiritual armaments as the reference.
Its performance is better than the unique class
spiritual armament used by the holy knight, but it hasn’t reach legend class.
However, it could be said that the arms will grow
according to the growth of the person who wearing it, it’s the newest product
that should be called as Advanced Weapon (Evolving Type Arms).
Above all else, the equipment has good compatibility
with the children who integrated with spirit in their body.
Although Rimuru had experimented and made a lot as a
hobby and it will go wasteful lying around, such is the reason why he gave it
to the children……
He would never imagine that it would be useful in this
place.
Arios seemed to perceive the danger, as there was a
slight impatience in his expressionless face.
So does Venom.
(Heh, those kids…… they have almost the same energy
amount as me!?
I thought they might be strong, but to be this extent……)
Venom was amazed.
In fact, Ryouta is about half of Venom’s. As for Kenya,
Venom felt the energy is almost equal to his.
Their skill is trained by Agera.
Venom finds a good chance to win with the reinforcement
that stronger than he thought.
And so the fight will be fiercer.
While
watching the children’s participation, Hinata muttered.
「
It
can’t be, spiritual armaments……? That is the church’s secret arms that can’t be
used by holy knight unless they were loved by the spirits ―― for it to be
easily mass produced, as expected from the abnormal Demon Lord Rimuru……
」
Her impression was mixed with surprise and admiration.
Everyone from the church have a similar expression with
Hinata.
Apart from Nicholas who is a magician, Leonard and Fritz
were lost for words.
Naturally, it’s because looking at 12 or 13 years old
children showing more fighting power than a holy knight.
Above
all else ――
「
Moreover,
Elemental Knight (Spirit Knight), is it?
My master, Izawa Shizue had talked about―― the ultimate
fusion form of human and spirit.
Neither Shizu-san nor I can reach it, the strongest
knight.
――is
that the appearances of those with Hero’s Egg hatched?
」
「
Surpassing
the holy knight, humanity’s strongest knight―― the Elemental Knight…..
」
「
Well
done Masayuki-dono, you trained those children splendidly!
」
「
Ehh!?
A, ah. Rather than my training, I’d said it’s those children’s power……
」
When such topic suddenly brought up, Masayuki hurriedly
denied it.
(What I taught to them is just special move poses I saw
in manga! How can it be called as a training!?)
Masayuki
denied it while being tired with the same flow of event.
「
Hahaha,
don’t be so humble! Even if you didn’t say it, everyone knows it!
」
Saying anything is useless, so it’s reflected in his
companions’ faces as Masayuki trying to hiding his embarrassment.
And, the same excitement runs through those who heard
the conversation, quickly hope rises inside them.
To Hero Masayuki’s companions.
To the people who evacuating.
To
the knights and soldiers who guide the populace.
「
Do
you hear it? They seem to be stronger than Hinata-sama who is the strongest
holy knight!
」
「
Hero?
Are those children Hero too?
」
「
They
are Hero Masayuki’s apprentice….. So a Hero’s apprentice is also a Hero――
」
「
Then
there’s no need to be scared of just a single angel right?
」
「
What,
it’s not a big deal, right?
」
「
Stupid!
That’s wrong. Hero Masayuki-sama is amazing you know!
」
「
I
see, that’s right. As expected of Masayuki-sama!
」
And so, like this, the people’s anxiety dissolved with
great speed.
As a result, the people who were trembling and agitated
have calmed down, and so they continued the evacuation smoothly without
problem.
Masayuki learnt that anything he says is useless.
(That’s enough, if with that…… if with that everyone’s
anxiety gone, I’m fine with it!)
Afterwards, Masayuki concludes that his task is to stand
up with confidence face, and so he takes the stance to watching the fight
attentively.
For this reason, there’s something only Masayuki
noticed.
(Eh? Wasn’t Kenya’s group is a party of five?)
So, one of them is missing from the group.
(They are Kenya, Ryouta, Gale, Alice. Eh? Who’s the
other one? Umm, maybe I’m mistaken. I only know 4 people.)
Although he has notice it with great effort, Masayuki
concluded that it’s just misunderstanding.
Because they children influenced by Masayuki were only
four people, that was the truth in a certain way.
Masayuki quickly switches his thought and prayed for
Venom’s victory.
And so, about the fight――
Venom was in one-side defensive fight until the
situation changed completely with the children’s participation.
Venom creating a gap in Arios’ defense which then Kenya
attacks.
It became a coordinated attack.
The
secret was
『
Telepathy
』
.
Venom
allocated some of his computing process and enabled
『
Telepathy
』
with the
children.
With this, it’s possible for them to communicate with
super high speed thought.
While the three are fighting, they were in a conference
at the same time.
『
Listen
kids. You guys can fight somewhat, but you guys are still weak.
Therefore,
don’t overconfident with your power, do only what you can do.
』
『
Roger
that!
』
『
Understood!
』
Kenya
and Ryouta delightedly answers, Venom begins to instruct the strategy.
『
Ryouta,
you’ll be our defense.
We’re lucky that your attributes are water and wind.
While healing me and Kenya when we are injured with
water attribute, devote yourself in defense with help of wind attribute.
Listen,
the strategy is messed up if you’re injured. Be careful!
』
『
Yes!
』
『
I’ll
be attacking with the assumption of getting injured . I’m expecting your
healing.
However,
healing magic of holy system which will damage a demon is no good. I’ll kill
you if you making a mistake!
』
『
Don’t,
don’t worry. I’ve studied, I’ll not make a mistake!
』
『
Alright!
But, prioritize your own safety. Don’t make a mistake, okay?
』
『
Okay!
』
The key of the strategy was Ryouta’s healing.
Like this, Venom doesn’t need to worry about healing
himself as he’s keep on attack.
Well, even if Ryouta failed, Venom thought that he will
manage somehow due to Masayuki’s luck.
It’s because he can’t win against Arios unless he takes
a drastic strategy.
Next,
Venom instructs Kenya.
『
Kenya,
you will focus on offensive.
Although there’s healing from Ryouta, I want the healing
to be focused on me.
So, I want you to use your strongest attack at the time
that it will surely hit.
Get it? No need to do the impossible.
If you get inured too much, Ryouta’s healing won’t catch
up.
Because
I will desperately seal that guy’s movement, you must think a way to make him
accumulate damage without panicking.
』
『
I
get it! In short, Venom-san will be the Tank, right?
』
Venom nods to Kenya’s question.
He often heard the term during the training in the
labyrinth, Tank is a vanguard who tanking vigorous attacks of melee type
monster single handedly.
Judging
that Kenya has understood the strategy, Venom continued his explanation.
『
Exactly.
So, listen! That guy seemed to be a former human, he still relying on his eyes
when fighting.
That
is his weakness, understand?
』
『
Yes!
We had been taught by Hakurou-Shishou and Agera-Shishou.
Or
rather, when I rely too much on my eyes, my eyes got crushed you know? That’s a
common sense!
』
Venom nods to those words.
Using Full Potion, any body part loss can be recovered.
With such reasoning, Hakurou and Agera seemed to have
calmly crushed the clueless children’s eyes and trained them.
(Those two, they are Demon……)
Kenya and co seems to accept the training without a
problem.
“They have become stronger…..” So Venom convinced inside
his mind.
『
Alright,
it’s good if you two understand it.
That guy didn’t lose his habits from when he was a
human, he’s unconsciously protecting his eyes and important organs.
We use that against him and attack.
However! Pay attention to his sword.
Defending
against it is pointless, don’t think of stopping the sword with a weapon
』
『
Understood!
It feels more dangerous than Zegion-san’s
『
Absolute Severance
』
.
』
Venom smiles and laughs when he heard Kenya’s response.
In
fact, the power of Arios’ sword was above Zegion’s
『
Absolute
Severance
』
.
Although, even if both are same in the point that you
can’t defend against it, Venom thought that Zegion’s ability that doesn’t need
to rely on a medium like a sword to be more troublesome.
In any case, Venom can only praise Kenya for being able
to see accurately the opponent’s strength.
As expected from Hakurou and Agera’s training, Venom
raised his valuation of Kenya.
And
so, confident with the success of the strategy, he’s fired up to put it into
practice.
『
Alright!
Well, you guys don’t be unreasonable okay.
Well then, Game Start!
』
Through
such exchanges, the fight against Arios begun.
With Ryouta as support, Venom attacks Arios with
everything he got in order to breakthrough his defense, Kenya then attacks
Arios in the gaps.
Arios who receiving the attacks, shown a bit agitation
on his face, but he immediately dealt with it calmly as he didn’t get any fatal
wound.
Although, by unconsciously evading attacks that he
doesn’t need to evade as Arios is a spiritual life-form, he didn’t notice that
he receives attacks that shouldn’t hit.
Arios fell completely into Venom’s plan.
There were reasons why Arios didn’t notice Venom’s plan.
The first one is he should have already defeated the
opponent who is lower-rank than him normally, which make him feels irritated.
But the problem was that his original power was sealed.
By Velda’s order, he was forbidden to attack the
downtown area.
For Arios who violated the order and acted individually,
violating the order more than this is taboo.
Therefore,
he was restricted in using his Ultimate Skill
『
Weapon Lord
(Sword Weapon)
』
.
As Venom and co felt, if Arios unleash the sword’s
power, he can release “Severance Wave” which cut everything.
However, the power is too big and it will affect the
city as well.
Arios was placed in a situation where he could do
nothing but to fight Venom and co with such restriction.
This
was all due to the effect of the
『
Lucky
Field
』
created by Masayuki.
Arios who looking down on his lower-ranked opponent, but
unaware he was caught in a dilemma.
(It can’t be, for these annoying people…… They’re
standing in front of me with their half-baked ability――)
While being annoyed, only time will passes as he will
not receive any decisive attack.
Getting impatient about that, Arios didn’t notice that
he gradually losing his calmness.
If he was calm, he would give up on killing Hinata and
quickly withdraw.
However, Arios didn’t make such option.
It was like his thought disturbed and can’t make clear
decision.
As a
result――
「
Now!
Finish off this guy together with me!
」
So Venom shouted.
Arios’ sword which pierced Venom’s stomach can’t be
pulled out as it had been ensnared by Venom’s magic power.
He
has no problem erasing the sword once, but he will receive Kenya’s attack
directly in that case――
「
Kenya,
leave Venom-san ‘s healing to me!
」
「
Uooooooooh
ーーーーー！
Unlimited
?
Justice Bringer
[1]
!!
」
A single flash.
Arios whose decision gets derailed by hesitation for a
moment receives a direct hit from Kenya’s strongest attack.
Even Venom who suppressing Arios, was cut in two by the
terrifying sword attack.
Kenya’s enhanced spiritual power could exceed the limit
for a brief moment. That’s because the divine protection of spirit of light
which fused with Kenya ――
Worthy as a future Hero, he reached the level where he
can destroy even an awakened demon lord.
In
other words……
「
Im,
impossible――
」
With
those as his last words, Arios was swallowed by the torrent of light and
disappeared.
“They did it!” That’s Masayuki’s impression.
Kenya’s technique was amazing, but his pose of
accumulating power closely resembled the special move from manga that Masayuki
taught.
(Ehh!?
That becomes a really amazing power――
）
Although
he was dumbfounded by many things, he can only accept the reality.
「
Yes,
as I expected. Kenya, you seem to have mastered the technique I taught you
perfectly!
」
Masayuki
praised Kenya with a refreshing smile ――His inner thoughts aside――
「
Masayuki
an-chan, did you see it? I did it!
」
Masayuki nodded to Kenya who smiling.
Cheers of the people who were delayed in evacuation
began reverberating, announcing the end of the fight.
(Like this, Kenya might stand out as a Hero more than me
from now, I think it’s a good thing!)
While thinking it’s convenient for him and sprouted a
smile, Masayuki didn’t notice that his smiling face charmed everyone.
Meanwhile.
「
Hey,
please heal me quickly!
」
Despite being cut in two, Venom seems to have escaped
from the torrent of light somehow and making a fuss.
Ryouta,
Alice, Hinata and also Nicholas came running, everyone use healing magic and so
Venom regenerated without problem.
「
Of
course! Self-sacrificing myself, it doesn’t suit me at all!
」
Venom hiding his embarrassment while saying such thing.
However,
Venom has secretly obtained the source of Ultimate Skill
『
Weapon Lord
(Sword Weapon)
』
as
he shrewdly stole Arios’ energy.
It was exactly as Venom‘s calculation.
Normally it’s a strategy with low chances to succeed
when put into action, but his decision that it was worth to try it was correct
thanks to Masayuki’s presence.
Venom
wins the gamble and obtained more power.
When
Venom was healed and things calmed down.
「
Huh?
Where is Kuu-chan?
」
Ryouta looked around and asked such question.
Noticing
the same thing, Kenya also searching the surroundings restlessly.
「
Ah,
Kuu-chan is gone. She goes out as she pleases again……
」
「
Kuu-chan
liked unusual things after all!
」
Gale
and Alice let out a sigh, they answered like they gave up on the matter.
「
Again?
It can’t be helped then…… Since we slipped out to come here, it would be bad if
she doesn’t return soon though……
」
Kenya’s
worry is not about the person called Kuu-chan who seems to be their companion,
it was towards the fact that if they didn’t return quickly, their absent would
be found out and get scolded.
「
Who
is Kuu-chan?
」
To
Masayuki’s question, the children answer all together
『
A friend!
』
.
“Ah, they’re a group of five from the start after all.’
While thinking so, Masayuki stopped thinking any more by understanding that it
was another child he didn’t know.
There’s no need to be worried now as the enemy is
beaten.
The children start to search for their friend in order
to return back quickly.
And
so, Masayuki and co was busy with the clean up afterwards in order to eliminate
the anxiety from the people of royal capital as they originally intended.
??????????????????????????
In the sky over the royal capital of Ingrassia Kingdom.
‘Damn it!’ while shouting so, Arios spits out a rough
breath.
Arios
managed to escape from the worst situation thanks to
『
Duplicate Body
』
that he prepared
just in case.
(It’s not time to get flustered. If I’m thinking calmly,
I can grasp that the enemy’s fighting strength is significant.
That
brat has such much power. But, knowing it now there’s――
）
However――
「
Fumufumu.
As expected, everyone think alike. It’s as Rimuru-sama says.
[2]
」
Arios’ thought was interrupted as he heard an innocent
child’s voice.
To not get noticed by Arios who specialized in stealth,
“who the hell is this person!?’ with that in his mind, Arios turns around in
astonishment.
A young girl with black hair was standing there.
No, it was not a young girl.
It was a very bewitching and beautiful woman which makes
him wonder why he mistakenly saw her as a young girl for some reason.
Her beautiful mix of silver and gold long hair flowed
gently down her back.
Staring
into her eyes, Arios was shocked to the extent that he couldn’t breathe.
「
I’m
Kumara.
[3]
Lord of the mythical beasts, the faithful servant of the
Great Demon Lord Rimuru-sama.
“Chimeric Lord” Kumara, it’s I.
Well
now, the introduction is over, it’s time for farewell.
」
Having said those words, Kumara sprouted a charming
smile.
「
Don’t
underestimate me! I don’t care who you are.
This place is far from the city area. Do you know what
it means?
It
means that in this place I――
」
「
So
noisy. Please be silent!
」
Without time for Arios to react――
His neck is in Kumara’s hand.
Kumara’s expression is like she was disappointed.
And
then, a sad expression showed on her face……
「
I
never think that you
[4]
would
be weak like this.
This
is due to Venom’s efforts, but how disappointing.
」
Kumaru lets out a listless sigh while saying so.
She wants to do great works and get praised by Rimuru,
but it can’t be helped as there was almost no turn for her.
What
is more problematic than that…..
「
Now,
I wonder what excuse I’d said to those children……
」
How will she explain to the children? That’s what
occupying her head.
And
then, she returned to her child form again and flew towards the royal capital
while worrying.
