Chapter 36: 36

15-36 . Divine Punishment (5), The Forbidden Knights

 

※Not in Satou's point of view

"A giant of light--so the God has manifested itself!"

When I turned toward the captain, I saw a yellow giant near the place where apostles and demon lords were fighting .

"Liedill, evade it!"

At the vice captain's shout, I leap forward without checking the surrounding and wrap myself in the mantle created from the rat demon lord's pelt .

"GUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I could hear the scream of a colleague behind me .

The city in front of me is bathed in yellow light, turning into white salt .

"T-the Magic Eater Birds!"

I heard Dazlim the tigerkin knight screaming .

The flying [Magic Eater Birds] are falling apart while leaving trails of white salt .

"Divine punishment of the Gods huh . . . . "

"That kind of cursed god, just call it evil god . "

I've never been able to get along with vice-captain who always butted head with me at every occasion, but I agree with him this time .

Crisis Perception that didn't act until a while ago is ringing an alarming warning .

"--What's that shining thing?"

From between the light peeking through the clouds, countless shining objects showed themselves up .

Although the outlines are vague, they look like cubes .

"Familiars of the evil god are they!"

They must have appeared to help the evil god .

"They're comin' here too!"

"It appears they've deemed us as God's enemies--All members of 『Temple Knights』, let's show them evil god our real strength . "

"""OU!"""

Responding to the captain's order, everyone goes to challenge the cubes .

"Magic swords ain't working on them eh?"

"My great holy sword Monofoshi Zao ain't doing good either . "

Just as my friends have said, my cherished sword feels like it's cutting water .

These cubes seem to be a kind of apostle too .

"All members, I allow the use of the white sword for fighting apostles!"

The white swords coated in dragon fang powder is restricted in their use .

The captain was preserving it until the fight against evil god, but he probably judged that it would have no point if we died fighting the cubes before that .

"It's working! It's working!"

"Of course! They're the secret plan of His Majesty the Emperor and Tactician-dono . "

As long as we have the weapons, defeating the cubes that are only fast but bad at cooperating is easy .

We defeated the cubes one after another .

Our only concern is the remaining coating of the white swords-- .

"Liedill! Come!"

Lion knight Gizlem called me .

"Sir Gizlem?"

"The captain has ordered for some Temple Knights to gather . "

"But we can't leave this place . . . . "

"Shut it! This is an order! Leave those cubes to Vice Captain Gwalba . "

Lion knight Gizlem caught my arm and dragged me to the gathering place .

--The Imperial Palace?

I was taken to the palace in the center of the whitened imperial capital .

There are 13 Temple Knights including me in front of the palace gate .

"Captain! At this situation-- . "

Just when the bespectacled rat knight Mobitt was going to flare up at the captain, right at that time .

"--Wha . "

A huge purple beast broke through the palace and showed itself up . It looks like a grotesque-looking wild weasel beast .

The beast turned its eyes at us .

--Scary .

A terror enough to make me want to run away from this place immediately grasps my heart .

"D-demon lord . . . . "

When I muttered that, the other knights besides the captain drew their swords .



A lot of the swords have already lost their white luster .

"Restrain yourselves! You are before His Majesty's presence!"

I can't digest the captain's words .

"--Do you not understand?"

"Tactician--dono?"

A reincarnated person who looked similar to Tactician-dono showed himself up from the palace .

That smooth bald Tactician-dono shouldn't be able to grow such long purple hair .

"That is His Majesty . He has casted away his weaselkin body in order to challenge the God . "

There are certainly light of wisdom in its grotesque eyes .

"Hear me! You have the tenacity not to lose yourself in battles . "

Urged by Tactician-dono, the captain straightened his posture and shouted out .

"Therefore, we grant you these . "

There are several twisted dark purple horns that give off dull light on a floating plate beside the captain .

"T-this is?"

"Entrusted by His Majesty, the ancient artifacts--Twisted Demon Horns . "

I can feel terrible miasma and curse from the Twisted Demon Horn .

"If you use the Twisted Demon Horn, you can fight against the God and obtain a power that exceeds even a hero . "

Hearing that, my colleagues show a daring smile and gather in front of the twisted horns .

"However!"

The captain continued his words as if stopping my colleagues whose hands were reaching toward the Twisted Demonic Horns .

"However, it requires a great compensation . "

The captain looks up at His Majesty who has turned into a beast .

『Noble knights who seek freedom . 』

A voice tingled with mysterious reverberations are echoing in front of the palace .  

『For the freedom of people . 』

It's unmistakably the voice of our respected Majesty .

『To liberate mankind from its rulers . 』



His words are filled with determination and sorrow .

『I expect you to abandon everything as a man . 』

After saying that, His Majesty turns toward the yellow giant .

"We will not force you . "

The captain said that and took a nearby twisted horn without hesitation .

Seeing that, my friends also scrambled for one .

The last remaining Twisted Demonic Horn .

Pressured by everyone's stare, I took the last one .

After ascertaining that, the captain pushes the Twisted Demonic Horn onto his forehead .

"For our desire for freedom!"

After shouting that, the captain's white fur undulate, changing into a grotesque with bubbling sounds .

Even after seeing such a terrifying transformation, my friends only drew their breath and pushed the Twisted Demonic Horn onto their foreheads .

"""For our desire for freedom!""""

My friends are turning into grotesques .

They lost their figures as people, losing even their sense, my friends roared like a beast .

Crunching and clanking sounds that are unthinkable coming from people reach my ears .

Repulsed by the excessive dread, it seemed I had dropped the Twisted Demonic Horn .

I reach my hand at the horn in a hurry .

However, a hand covered in white fur appearing from behind me picked up the Twisted Demonic Horn .

"Vice Captain!"

The owner of the white hand was the vice captain Gwalba .

"This is mine . It's too early for you--"

Gwalba's mouth forms a crescent shape and then he shouts, "For our desire for freedom!" out loud .

I had a feeling that Gwalba who had changed into a grotesque muttered faintly, "--You just stay there . "

"Go! Greater demons! Army of liberty who serve under Demon God!"

Tactician shouted at my friends who had changed into grotesques .

"Now is the time to break the chains and shackles called blessing of the foolish Gods!"

The laughing Tactician looked like a devil who entices people into depravity .



『My good luck to them!』

With His Majesty's blessing, light purple light rain down on my grotesque friends who have gathered around His Majesty .

His Majesty turns his face at me .

『Liedill, my knight . Make sure to watch the last battle of our empire until the end, and bequeath it to the future generations . 』

"--Your Majesty?"

His Majesty's line of sight moves to the Tactician .

『Tactician . My gratitude for all your work so far . Return to your master . 』

His Majesty and Tactician are staring at each other .

--Your master?

His Majesty's words are as if-- .

"Is that so, then I will hand over the last firework (romance) to her . "

After showing a priest staff with red protuberance to His Majesty, Tactician presented it to me .

The thing I spontaneously received should be the magic device for [Self-Destruct] that His Majesty spoke of before .

I reflexively accepted it but as I have to protect His Majesty's life, there is no way I activate this self-destruct device .

"Farewell, Tarou . Building the empire with you was truly fun . I will await for good news in a faraway land . "

Tactician who had said his farewell was turning vague like a haze and then he disappeared like he was dissolved in the air .

Being at a loss, I can only look at the self-destruct magic device in my hand .

『March on, my loyal knights! We will kill Zaikuon!』

His Majesty led my grotesque friends toward the battlefield .

I watch over their fight from the white imperial palace that has no one remaining .

The beautiful imperial capital gets destroyed by the storm raged from the battles, disappearing into white sandstorm .

The empire with all its dream, hope and glory disappeared like a short-lived dream .

Even after turning into grotesque beasts, even after devoting their loyalty to His Majesty my friends are disappearing into white mist every time they touch the yellow giant .

Alone, by myself again .

"Aah, please don't leave me . . . . "

There is no way anyone hears that mutter, the yellow giant is walking step by step toward the palace .

It's as if there's something that the yellow giant seeks in this palace-- .
