Kuro no Maou - Chapter 435

Chapter 435

“KyyyoooowwaaaaAA!!”

I had heard that orcs generally have a very deep voice but it cried out in a high pitch and then fixed its aim towards Lily as she conspicuously stood out with all the light surrounding her .

A sharp axe-like claw came attacking her . If it lands, it would probably go through her oracle field and reach her soft skin .

However, instead, and this is the obvious outcome, but the attack had not landed . The claw slashed through her glowing afterimage .

“Eii!”

Lily extended her arms like she would be giving a hug and flew straight towards the orc chimera . But what awaited the chimera wasn’t a loving fairy’s embrace, it was a dazzling slash of light .

The Star Sword pierced into the unpleasant chimera’s face and its divine white light went through the chimera’s whole body as if it was purifying it right there and then .

She had stabbed the chimera but as a result, the chimera was cut in exactly two half . It got cut off so cleanly that it made me think how symmetrical its body was . The same end as the harpy chimera from a while ago .

And as if to give no heed or interest to the enemy she had just cut, Lily perfectly completed a triple axel there and turned around .

She then extended her right arm like my bullet arts . And the gun she made with her hand aimed at the lizardman who had just gotten in range to cut me .

And then, along with a cute wing, Lily shot .

“Bang!”

About 50 centimeters in front of me, a completely white pillar of light rushed through . That feeling you get when a train passes by a station .

And weirdly enough, none of the heat reached my face . I wonder if it’s because all the attack power is densely packed inside that torrent of light .

And after it just passed by, it left nothing behind its path . As if the chimeras in front of me were just a hallucination .

“Ha, haha…… it’s over . ”

“……We are all, done for . ”

After sweeping away the chimera soldiers, I began running on the wall surface yet again but the despair and resignation of the war slaves made my feet feel a bit heavier .

After taking a mere 5 more steps, I will reach their ladder and will shred them with bullets . I wonder how many of them will be pierced by the bullets if I were to shoot from right above them… Or maybe before that can happen, the wooden ladder would break, throwing them off to the empty sky .

Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that they will have to get exterminated–

“Uwaah, Wait, oi! Damn it, it’s not my fault! I beg you, save meee!!”

With a single leap, I reached above the ladder . As I stood above the ladder like that, it looked as if the war slaves were at my feet, begging for mercy .

Of course, no matter how much they cry for mercy, I would just point my gun towards them—yes, just aim it at them .

“Damn it!!”

As if to run away, I jumped back from the ladder and left that place behind me . I headed towards the center of the wall, not where I previously was . The battleground where the chimera soldiers were rushing in, which was my first objective .

“I do not… have the time to be caring about small fries!”

That was the best excuse I could come up with .

“—Yes, that’s exactly right, Kurono . ”

That moment, I felt like… I heard Fiona’s voice .

As I look back, I saw the ladder the pitiful slaves were clinging on to get swallowed up by a whirlpool of flame .

The rumbling tornado of flame just burnt, not allowing anyone or anything to exist inside it . It burnt all of it to the ground . Even the crude white robe, the hard scales and the soft fur, the flesh and the bones–it burnt it all, even the soul .

“As such, I have taken care of them . Now, please, go ahead . ”

As I looked up, I spotted an elegant witch atop the wall, swinging her wand . She had already finished casting her spell . Small crimson fiery particles only scattered afterwards . She was composed enough to even give me a wave as she noticed I looked towards her .

The mid-level magic Fiona used, ‘Ignis Kris Sagita’, had a magnificent firepower to it as always and exterminated the ‘small fries’ all too soon .

The skeletons in underground tombs or these war slaves–it isn’t much of a difference to her probably . Both her enemies she needs to put down .

“Ha… hahaha…”

What am I doing, exactly? What have I come here to do?

“……Sorry, Fiona . ”

Being a hypocrite at this point, am I? Am I an idiot or what? I am an idiot beyond help .

“Sorry to make you work more . ”

What a sorry state I am in .

Because the war slaves just looked too pitiful and miserable–I ended up running away and making my ally dirty her hands with it .

Seriously, the thought itself is making me sick . Oi, Kurono, Kurono Maou, did you form this party to do that? To just kill the people you want to and leave the others to your allies?

Don’t jest . What are you, behaving like a naive child?

“I will do that, from here on out . I will kill them . ”

At this point, even worrying is a sin . Look closely–the only ones here are reliable allies and detestable enemies . A simple extreme logic .

Fight the enemy . Kill the enemy . If you can’t do that, you do not deserve to be standing here .

Finally, after so long, I was resolute .

“It doesn’t matter who I’m up against… I will kill them all…”

I let go of the chains from my left hand and drew Kubitachi .

“Let’s go, Lily!”

“Yep!”

And then, I took a step forward . And that one step was surprisingly light .
