Kuro no Maou - Chapter 433

Chapter 433

“Lily can use the artifacts without transforming, you know?”

Lily turned around and said with a proud expression . It wasn’t the fairy queen’s treasure ‘Queen Beryl’ she was carrying, it was the ‘Diamond Heaven’, giving off a divine light .

This artifact, which Lily got when she was training, has the effect of strengthening light attributes .

Attribute strengthening is an extremely fundamental effect which a magic jewel can demonstrate even in an unprocessed state . As such, since the artifact was in the jewel state, it can be said that it is only natural for it to provide strengthening effect in response to that color and light .

And the Diamond Heaven has a vast amount of magic power hidden in it, as one would expect from an artifact .

And if Lily, who specializes in the light attribute, uses it, she can bring about an incredible amount of power .

Thanks to that, Lily can swing the enormous Star Sword without difficulty and can also levitate in the air like this .

“Well, you’re strong even if you don’t transform, after all . ”

Even when she’s small, she is extremely reliable . And when equipped with an artifact, she is even more reliable . Even at the frontline of such a war, I can entrust my back to her without a worry .

“–Even still, I feel like the number of chimera soldiers are just increasing . ”

Lily and I took out 3 of them in moments with our coordination but even in that short while, even more of those chimera soldiers had started climbing the wall . Three of them to my right and four of them to my left . I could spot their grotesque figures squirming up the wall . Rather than increase, aren’t they doubling in number?

To make matters worse, the war slaves were also fighting hard to place the ladders on the wall . Even though they are being forced into this, now that their lives are on the line, they couldn’t help but put their all into it .

Even these monster-like chimera soldiers probably look like their only hope in this battlefield . They kept on trying to put the ladders on the wall as the chimeras tried climbing up .

Although the war slaves are unarmed and defenseless, if the burly species come in groups, the line of defence can get easily disordered . The thing I am most worried about currently is that the Crusaders army will take that chance to attack all at once .

Either way, I just have to keep taking out the enemy’s vanguard, these chimera soldiers . No matter how many of you come out, I will smack you down .

“Let’s go Lily, match up with me!”

“Got it!”

With The Grid ready, I turned towards my left . 4 of them were climbing–no, they had already locked their aim on me . I aimed towards the hideous chimera soldiers crawling on the wall .

As soon as I put my finger on the trigger, I sensed Lily quickly get around to my back . I would take care of the left while Lily takes the right . Simultaneous attack with our backs to each other .

“Eat this!”

“Eeeeii!”

Black steel’s Bullet Arts and white splendor’s Lux Sagita attack . The countless bullets scattered all around, destroying the chimeras and ripping the enemy to shreds .

An overwhelming firepower which doesn’t even allow the opponent to come close . No matter how burly and strong these chimera soldiers are, they are no match in front of the one-sided barrage of light and dark bullets .

As a bonus, the magic bullets also pulverized the ladders along with the chimeras .

Like sinners suspended into hell with a spider’s string, the pitiful war slaves let out a shrieks as they fell to their death . If possible, I hope their destination isn’t hell .

Although there was a thought somewhere in my heart, trying to make me hesitate when killing the war slaves, I didn’t miss any shots intentionally . Even though the chimeras are top priority, there’s no loss in decreasing the amount of war slaves pushing in with their sheer amount .

It was at the moment when Lily and I was about to shift to our next target after getting rid of those 7 chimeras .

“Ah, look out!”

Lily pointed at the sky . On the tip of her fingers, light magic started to condense .

And her fingers were pointed at an enormous, blazing hot fireball, coming towards us, leaving trails of smoke behind it .

“Catapult, eh?!”

That’s not your average fire magic . It’s a boulder cladded in flame, giving it destructive physical power on top of scorching firepower .

At Alsace, few magicians commenced a union and launched a long range fireball .

However, the army this time wasn’t one made to rule a countryside village . It was a large army to capture an impregnable fortress . In other words, they have brought castle sieging weapons such as a catapult .

And I guess they have finally finished setting it up . Right now, at this moment, the bombardment has already started .

Right before Lily could shoot her light arrow towards the blazing mass of rock, it was smashed to smithereens .

Not because it hit the wall . While it was still mid-air, it got blown to pieces by an Ignis Sagita .

“Fiona, eh? As expected of her . ”

Perfect support . As I thought, leaving her on top of the wall was correct .

If she wanted, Fiona could also come and participate in the vertical fights but there’s no need for that . Before we decided on this formation, the Vertical Limit, Fiona grumbled, saying “Aren’t I a bit too far? Or rather, isn’t Ms . Lily a bit too close?” but I suppose this was the best way to go about it .

While thinking back on that, I saw the blazing boulder’s pieces rain down . Although it could be fatal if these heated up fragments were to hit someone, it isn’t much of a problem for me and Lily .

Diablo’s Embrace can easily defend something like this and I don’t even need to get started on Lily’s Oracle Field .

But it is still a terrifying hail of bullets for the war slaves who were only wearing white robes .

“Fiona will do something about the bombardment so let’s continue with our fight . ”

“Got it!”

Hearing Lily’s cheerful reply, I started heading towards the middle of the castle wall .

Maybe because we kept killing off the chimera soldiers in succession one after another, both the chimeras and the war slaves were avoiding this area . Although I can understand the war slaves taking that course of action, it is kind of weird to see the chimeras do that since they are in berserk mode .

I can only assume that they were ordered to ‘climb the wall’ and had their aggression and belligerence increased rather than having them fall into pure berserk mode .

They can probably control that much by using that Angel Ring . Like a robot abiding by its program .

Either way, Lily and I were forced to move . We can go to the enemy ourselves thanks to the title of Order Raid and we won’t be blamed by our allies . I will be making full use of this authority .
