Kuro no Maou - Chapter 431

Chapter 431

The pig’s body just had light fur and didn’t have any special defense like the lizardman . And since my blade can even cut through lizardman’s scales without any trouble, I don’t even need to use any technique here . Almost leaving it to strength, I kept cutting him up with the cursed blade .

“–Too shallow, eh?”

Right after cutting through the abdomen, I immediately turned around for additional attack .

If it was a normal human, that slash just now would have definitely split their torso and trunk but it seems it was a bit too shallow for a pig’s abdomen .

Polluted black blood and gleaming fat and entrails were spilling from the wound . However, there’s no way the berserk state would be stopped with just that and since it’s that organization’s experiment, it probably has the toughness to keep attacking still .

And in reality, the pig-chimera just oinked a war-cry and made a sudden break to its rush and turned to face towards me again .

And because of this intense movement, its abdomen wound opened wide and what is thought to be its intestines came slithering out .

“Fly!”

The pig’s reaction shows its will but its too slow . In a world of fights which are decided in milliseconds, that slowness is fatal . One can land most attacks that way .

And the attack I chose wasn’t a slash from the hatchet but rather a kick .

If I were to seriously kick it in strengthened state, a giant like this would also fly like a soccer ball—well, at least it would be blown to the sky .

My clean kick blew its body to the other side of the wall . A final attack which I thought would be much better since it would throw the chimera out of the wall quicker .

“Grenade burst . ”

Being constrained by gravity, the chimera went into free fall with its head first . But just to make sure, I also hit it with my black magic of fire .

If I just throw it outside the wall, the blast and the heat won’t affect my allies . They might feel a bit hot but that’s about it .

The highly-explosive black projectile I created with my bare hands flew at a high speed as usual and made its way from me to the chimera just before it hit the ground .

Impact . Explosion . The red and black sinister explosion created fireworks as it burnt the pig’s body to a crisp .

The so-so splendid harpy wings just fell without ever being able to spread . Seems like it was a pig which couldn’t fly even with wings .

“Uwwohh! Darn, these guys are strong!”

“This isn’t good, don’t let them up to the passage!”

“Drop ‘em while they are climbing!”

While I was dealing with the pig, it seems chimera soldiers were climbing from various parts of the wall .

As expected, the Spada army also didn’t get done in lopsidedly and swung their swords and spears, stopping the chimera soldiers while also making sacrifices .

Although we were overwhelmingly high in numbers on top of the wall, if the chimeras kept sporadically rampaging like this, the actual war slaves army will cause more disorder . And in fact, on the south left-wing, two ladders were already on the wall .

“This is bad, we can’t be pushed like this . ”

The Crusaders are still scouting us while they let go of the sacrificial pawns . If the Spada army falters even a little here, their spirits will rise and they will come charging with momentum .

“Lily, Fiona, let’s prioritize on the chimeras and take them down!”

I rushed back to where Fiona was, where she was still shooting fire magic faithfully like I instructed her at first .

And on the way, I grouped up with Lily, who was waiting without breaking a sweat . Of course, the wolf-chimera was nowhere to be seen . Its burnt black dead body is probably lying somewhere at the bottom of the wall .

“Yep, got it!”

“Understood . ”

An energetic reply from Lily and a somewhat motivated reply from Fiona . Even for me, killing those pitiful monsters is better than turning the war slaves into minced meat .

“They have high mobility . I would like to smack them as much as possible before they reach the top of the wall . ”

Just as the Spada soldiers were shouting out . If these guys came charging in with numbers, the battlefront will really crumble . From the looks of it, not even 10 of these came up till now but who knows how many will come .

Who knows how many of these war slaves are chimeras .

I can’t guess but I will have to kill as they send .

“Then, it’s time for that formation, isn’t it?”

“I didn’t think we would have to use it so soon, though…”

We, the Element Masters, don’t only have the ‘anti-cross’ formation for Sariel . We properly have a few formations thought up with this Galahad fort as the base .

We just thought about most of these and haven’t put it into practice . Our excuse is that we didn’t get the time nor the place nor the opportunity to practice .

Either way, I was now about to go ahead with a formation without any practice . Although I do feel anxious, I will just have to resolve myself and do it .

“Listen well now, Fiona, you are to provide back up there . There’s only Lily and I so feel free to let it all out . ”

“Yes, I shall go all out . ”

To be honest, I would like her to hold back a little but I need to say that here even if it’s a lie .

“Lily, you’re with me on the front . No transformation… can you do it?”

“It’s fine, Lily will protect Kurono!”

“Yeah, I leave my back to you . ”

That ends the review . Now all we have to do is boldly jump down from the wall .

“… . Bind Arts . ”

While standing on top of the wall next to Lily, I brought out the jet black chain and ‘Anchor Hand’ real form from my left sleeve and attached the hook to the stone wall .

“I will leave the control to you, Hitsugi . ”

“Yes, please leave it to me, master!”

I will be counting on you, Hitsugi . From my heart . After all, you will literally be my lifeline now .

“Well then, let’s go—formation ‘Vertical Limit’!”
