Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Lower Glorious to the entrance of the cave in the middle of the mountain where the Silver Dragon King will live.

The cave was large and the body could easily get inside even the giant Glorious.

Now I'm dressed as a dark knight. Because it could suddenly be a fight.

I intend to run away as soon as that happens.

There was resistance to forcibly taking the horns. I wonder if I can negotiate and get a horn. Of course, it's unlikely.

The cave was wide and deep, and darkness was spreading deep.

Walk the cave with Glorious.

I wonder how far I walked, and all of a sudden I'm in a big space. The large space is bright even though it should be out of reach of the sun.

There were countless sparkling crystals in the cave, which lit up the cave as a light.

And there was a dragon in the middle of the space. There is no doubt that the dragon is the Holy Dragon King.

The dragon was much bigger than Glorious and, above all, very beautiful.

Unlike a typical dragon, the dragon is covered in silver hairs, each of which shines brightly.

And the silver body of the dragon shines brightly in the light of the crystal, which is very fantastic.

I fall in love unexpectedly.

The dragon turns to us to see if it has noticed itself. Dragon's pale eyes capture him.

I didn't feel hostile. Rather, the sign seemed to be gently enveloped.

"Welcome, Dark Knight. I knew you were coming."

Speaks with a clear voice.

Did you know you were coming? Do you have the ability to predict?

"I heard from Modes."

But it was an unexpected word that came out of the dragon.

Have you heard from Modes?

The dragon nods.

"I was in trouble because the horns were too long. You'll cut this horn clean, won't you?

"Hah, hah..."

I felt a little weak about the dragon's words. Even though I was prepared to be attacked suddenly, I couldn't help but applaud. But you should be glad you didn't have to fight here.

Speaking of which, Modes told me to get the horns, but he didn't tell me to force them.

I was just making a mistake on my own.

Finally, it's just an easy use. I apologize to Modes for my doubts in my heart.

Look at the dragon's head. It has a clear and splendid corner that is brighter than the crystals around it.

The horn hits the ceiling when combined with the body of a giant dragon. This will certainly be inconvenient.

"I wonder if you could cut me from the inside. It will grow the same in 5,000 years anyway, so please do it again."

I don't know if I'm still there after 5,000 years, but I nod.

"I see. Leave it to me."

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Cut off the horns and tie Glorious with a rope, Glorious shakes his body a little.

"I'm sorry, Glorious. Just be patient."

I apologize to Glorious.

The horns are large and do not fit in the magical formation of the destination, just like Glorious. Again, I could not carry it by flying too big. So I decided to tie it to Glorious and carry it.

"Oh, thank God."

The Holy Dragon King thanked him.

"Here's a thank you. Thank you, Silver Holy Dragon King."

I bow my head to the Holy Dragon King again.

"Hmm...."

The Holy Dragon King is watching his head down.

"Something....."

I ask the Holy Dragon King.

"I see you still have the ability to use dragons. You smell good."

The Holy Dragon King snorts.

I'm a little confused, but I feel happy when I snort. Gloria looks at it and pulls her nose towards her.

Looking at it, I felt like the Holy Dragon King had laughed.

"I've been watching you since I got here."

Surprised by the words of the Holy Dragon King. If such a giant dragon were watching nearby, you would have noticed.

"Because I have the ability to see things through the eyes. You can see with that power. Besides, it seems like you can't sense it without hostility."

The Holy Dragon King answers the question he feels.

"Besides you, I've seen brave men. That's right. Short-haired kids kind of noticed it in their eyes."

A short-haired child is probably Naomi. Her senses seem to be considerably higher than herself.

"That's why I saw what happened in that country. The thread of Zarxis binds God. I would have fed on him if I had entered the realm."

I am shocked by the words.

"Do you know about Sarxis?

"Oh, of course. But if you want to know about him, you'd better ask Modes. They were originally friends."

It was the first time I heard about it.

"That's why I have to thank you, including for that. Is that you? I stopped Zalxis. There was a boundary, and I couldn't see the scene. I had a bit of a relationship with that country. I thank you for defending me without the power to fight. Thank you, Dark Knight Dihart."

The Silver Dragon King looks huge, but he is not very good at direct combat.

"No, that's no big deal to me..."

But I don't feel sorry for being praised by people... no, by dragons. I can see my face turning red.

"When you and the brave fight together, will you still cooperate with the common enemy?

"No, we didn't fight together....."

I deny it. I didn't mean to fight with you. It's just a coincidence.

"Well, I'm not going to be basically involved in the Modes and Lena dispute. I'll keep you neutral."

I heard that from Modes. The Dragon King seems to be neutral in this struggle.

"And I feel the soul of the dragon from you. Probably freed the dragon soul captured by Zalxis."

Everything looks good on this dragon.

"Even though it was too long at first, I was wondering if I'd give him a horn. But when I saw you, I thought I could give you a horn."

"Was that so...."

"You can use that horn to build the goddess. Looks like you don't have the same privilege as Modes."

I think that's a little extra care. That makes me want to cry.

Well, with this horn, I can make a goddess. You should be grateful for that.

"My power is healing. The goddess from my horn must have healing powers. I'm sure it will help you."

The Holy Dragon King looks at the horns tied to Glorious and says,

I play horns. The horns were brighter and more beautiful than the crystals on the spot.

A beautiful goddess will surely be born.

"Thank you, Dragon King. I want to come back when the goddess is born."

The Holy Dragon King smiles when he lowers his head again.

"Oh, come again, dragon nostalgic."

"Yes, let's go, Glorious."

After lowering his head, he urged Glorious to return to the entrance to the cave.

I have a lot to do when I get back to Nargor. You may get busy.

Walk with thoughts about it.

And when I reached the entrance to the cave, I felt a strong magical flow with hostility.

"Hey... this is it!!!

Stop Glorious to activate Magic.

"Big Dark Hole!!!

A huge black hole is born in front of me. At that moment, the light flows towards you.

I was almost there. Light is sucked into the dark hole and disappears.

I remember the light. It's the magic of light that Rage used last night. If I tried to take that magic with normal defensive magic, I would have lost all of its defensive magic. I was able to deal with that magic yesterday.

What do you think the Holy Dragon King will do with such powerful magic?

"Glorious, wait here."

Allow Glorious to wait a little further through the entrance to the cave, leaving the cave alone.

As I thought, there were Raige and the others.

The number is seven. Everyone except a girl named Kyoka, Reggie's sister. Certainly there is also Shirone.

I don't know why I'm here. I was completely surprised.

"Dihart!!

A black-haired girl screams. Mizunoji Temple is a thousand snows.

"You're certainly strong. Each and every one of us will be invincible. But what if we're all against each other?

When she says so, Reggie and the others hold their weapons.

Wait a minute...!! I screamed in my heart.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"Wind Spirit, help us all."

Lino's words lighten our bodies. Easier to move and faster.

"Holy power, bless us all."

Along with Sahoko's words, we are enveloped in white light. This light is a small amount, but it will restore us in perpetuity.

They cast magic and prepare for battle.

I sing magic too. Magic is applied to everyone's weapons. This should have increased your Attack Rating.

Dihart is in front of me. This is the third time I've seen you.

I was surprised when Raj fired the Kamikaze light cannon early on. Maybe the Holy Dragon King is alive.

If Dihart wasn't magically protected, we wouldn't know what was going on in the cave.

Reggie thinks it's okay if she doesn't hurt the girl, so I'm sure the Dragon King who protects the Rox kingdom will care what happens.

How dare he prevent that magic of Reggie? That magic cannot be prevented by the same defensive magic. Once again, I feel the strength of the opponent.

The horns must have been taken when Dihart saw them coming out of the Holy Dragon King's cave. I wonder what Lena is doing.

This time, Lena set up a plan, and all we heard was that Dihalt would be stopped.

The Lena can't see if there was an accident.

So they took away the horns of the Holy Dragon King.

I was reluctant to fight Dihart at first, but not now. They tried to kill all the people of the Kingdom of Rocks. They're so dangerous, we can't let them go.

I think we should still act cautiously, but I don't hesitate anymore. I will defeat you with all my might.

In the formation, Shirone and Kaya stand on the front line, centered on Reiji, and Nao supports them from the side. Me and Reno attack magically from behind and Sahoko heals the front. It's our winning pattern.

This time there is no black fog like last night, so I can fight with my own strength.

The first one is Nao, who has flying gear. Nao's boomerang attacks Dihart.

Nao's boomerang splits when thrown, still creating a vacuum blade and chopping off multiple enemies.

But when Dihart pulls out the sword, he wipes out the vacuum blade with a swing and knocks down all the boomerangs. The movement of the sword is unmistakable and splendid.

Boomerang was easily prevented, but that's good, because Reggie attacked the defenseless spot with his sword swinging.

Shirone and Kaya say Raige's attacks are very difficult to avoid. You won't be able to avoid a disturbed Dihart.

"Eh...!!

For a moment, I didn't know what had happened. Reggie's attack slipped through Dihart's body.

The slashed rage was also confused.

I don't know what happened after all, but the next winged Shirone attacks from the sky. It can't be used in a medium, closed space in a room, but it works great in this open space. Falling from a fairly distant head at a fierce speed, he waves his sword. However, the sword is lightened by Dihart's slight movement.

Then Kaya approached and waved his fist as if he were crawling through the earth. When Kaya's fist hits, the impact is transmitted inside even with a shield or armor, and cannot be prevented from causing damage.

However, the Kaya's attack passes through Dihart just like Raj's.

"Everybody out of the way!!!!!"

Four people came back to us in concert with Lino's voice.

A woman in a tall blue and white dress stands in front of Lino. And there was a giant bird with thunder flying over it.

The Snow Queen and Thunderbird, the superior spirits that Reno summoned.

It seems that few Elves who are good at spiritual magic can summon higher spirits, not to mention that they cannot summon two higher spirits simultaneously.

But Reno can do it.

What about the simultaneous attack of the two superior spirits, even if the physical attack doesn't work?

"Please, Spirit-san! Kill him!!!

The snow queen blew the ice spear and the thunder bird stormed as Lino spoke.

With the roar, the sight is instantly covered with soot and smoke.

Soil and smoke will clear up after a few seconds. Dihart stood there.

"Oh my God, that guy! This attack won't hurt!!?

I'm stunned. I wonder what it is.

"It's a truncation and a parry. I am not receiving any attacks. There is an anecdote that Miyamoto Musashi was slaughtered with rice grains on his forehead, and the opponent only slashed rice grains, but perhaps he could do the same."

The returning Kaya explains.

"What the hell!!

I can't believe I can do such a joke. What should I do?

But you couldn't stop the Spirit from attacking.

"Eh...."

Dihart's body was shaking slightly.

"Besides, we haven't attacked since, it looks like our defenses are full."

I laugh at Kaya's words. At least if we can do some damage, we have a chance.

Well then, why don't I just give you some time to heal?

I was really scared of what happened underground. Not directly by Dihart, but because he's with the man in the mask, that's the same thing. I will definitely pay you back.

Dihart will receive his reward, including the people of the Kingdom of Rocks.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

"It hurts... It hurts...."

I couldn't prevent a magical attack on something that might be a higher spirits. My body hurts.

Exactly. Seven against one is tough.

I have managed to deal with it now.

It's easy to hold out Shirone's attacks, and her sword has been attacked many times. It's the same thing to fly in the sky. Rather, flying attacks are linear and more avoidable.

The girl who waves her fist attacks badly. But I'm not as scared as Master. I am avoiding it at the moment of parry.

I'm afraid of Reggie's attack. His sword will suffice in the original world. A blow is approaching to take his own life.

However, Rage's attack pattern can be read to some extent. Never stand in front of you and attack from outside your sight. It's like a wild animal.

Normally, you can't do that, but Raige's physical abilities make it possible. So, by diverting and directing your vision, you attack.

But Spirit attacks cannot be prevented. We might be able to prevent it if we put up a better magic barrier, but Raige and the front lines won't let us do it.

Now, what should we do?

We'll have no choice but to run away. But that's hard. Don't leave Glorious to escape with metastasis magic.

Reggie and her fellow girls came back to me.

Regardless of just Raj, the situation where the girls around her came for her life was mentally harsh.

I don't want to argue with Raige's girls.

"Why did this happen...."

I want to laugh.

But if you think about it carefully, you knew this would happen.

Turn Reggie into an enemy and the girls around her become enemies. It does not change in this world or in the original world. I should have predicted this when I fought Reggie.

That's why everybody hated turning Raige into an enemy in the original world. In a sense, Raige is protected by a girl.

The Raige girls are coming alongside Raige. What an unpleasant situation.

This is the result of a boring confrontation. What a fool I am!

Girls must also be prepared to be enemies when dealing with Raige.

Without such readiness to take the sword, they will be pushed into trouble.

Mizunoji Temple might have been better off without saving Snow. Her magic is actually killing herself. She must have wanted Raj to help her, not herself.

That's why we should fight back as well as defend ourselves. It meant slashing them, including Shirone.

If we do not fight back, we will eventually be pushed out by force and we will die.

Reggie and the others reach out and attack. I can't get past the damage, making it harder to prevent an attack.

Reggie and the others attacked and the magic flew back and forth again.

Reiji and Sahoko Yoshino recover from Reiji's fatigue and other fatigues, so they don't lose power.

You can see that you are being pushed gradually.

But I still couldn't attack them. I wonder what an idiot I am. I worry more about hurting them than I do after this.

"Gu!!

Suffer several Spirit attacks. I feel like I'm getting on my knees because of the pain.

My strength is falling, but I can still fight. That's how I inspire myself.

But this time it wasn't just that.

It is unusual for Raige and the others to be apart, quite a distance apart.

"What....."

I murmured, and it was too late when I realized.

I wonder when they made it. They throw a giant magical sphere of red snow at us.

There was absolutely no magic in the magic sphere.

"It's super heavy bombardment flame burst magic with dozens of flame magic and burst magic!! Pay for your evil deeds, Dihart!!!

A thousand snow shouts at Shuioji Temple.

Shit. That magic just looks bad. That's coming our way.

There was Glorious in the back. I couldn't avoid it.

I spit out all my magic. Glorious protects at least. I am determined to do so.

The magic sphere hits.

And a huge energy storm dominated the field.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"I wonder if I did it..."

It is a magical attack with its greatest destructive power. I just want to believe he's dead.

The problem is that the Holy Dragon King's cave will also be destroyed, but I want to bet on Dihart's magical defenses there.

If he were to be struck by the explosion himself, he would not have to destroy the cave.

And that thought seemed to have come true. This magic should have the power to annihilate one of these mountains, but the mountain doesn't seem particularly broken. Looks like he got his magic done by himself. You may praise Dihart there.

"I wonder if this is the last good deed of a humble villain."

I laugh.

"Sasugatsu. Chiyuki."

Nao comes to me.

"Thanks to everyone's collaboration, I'm not alone."

Earlier magic takes time to activate, making it easy to take countermeasures in the meantime.

Reggie and the others didn't fill the gap, so I was able to cast this magic.

"Thank you, Spirit."

Return the Spirit after Lino has just won. The Snow Queen and the Thunderbird fade and disappear.

This is the end of him too. I wanted to stab you with my hand. "

Unfortunately, Shirone said.

"That's the same for me, Shirone. He was seriously wounded."

Reggie looks at the entrance to the cave where Dihart was.

I can't see it in the smoke of the explosion, but it would have just died.

The smoke gradually clears up.

"That's a lie!!!

Nao screamed when he first noticed it.

Dihart was still standing there.

"No way!? Impossible!!!

I scream. I put all my magic into it, and I can't be safe from it.

"I can't believe I could live with that explosion...."

Sahoko also looked incredible.

"No, it looks like it's over. Look closely."

Kaya points to Dihart.

I used magic to see Dihart better. The armor is cracked and the helmet is cracked. And standing with the sword as a staff seemed to be spicy.

"Hmm! You didn't make it! But that's it!!

Reggie points his sword at Dihart.

"Dihart! You were strong! Much farther than me! But you don't have enough! That means I have the Goddess of Victory, but not you!!!

That way, Raige looks at us.

"Ray-kun...."

"Mr. Reggie...."

Sahoko and Reno are moving and moisturizing their eyes.

Nao and Shirone are laughing in the light.

Kaya has no expression.

Incidentally, I'm suddenly starting a speech, and what are you saying? You're looking at Raige with your white eyes. Is this what you promised? But it looks like we won, so let me ask you one last thing.

"The goddesses here will help me! So no matter how strong he is, I'm not afraid! Because in the end, you know I'll win!!

That way, Reiji's sword shines.

"Come on, it's over, Dihart! Get out with my sword of light!!

That's how Reggie tries to get to Dihart.

"Wait, Reiji!!!

I rush to stop.

"What is it, Chiyuki?"

Reggie turned around looking dissatisfied. Naturally, I was stopped when I tried to dress up.

"What's wrong, Chiyuki? You're going to help him?

Reno asks me.

"That's right! He's dangerous! We should take him down here now! It's ridiculous to help!!

Shirone says.

"Help? No way. I just need to ask him something."

"What do you want to hear?

I nod.

"I just want to ask you one last thing. About the man in the mask."

That man in the mask owes me. I want to extract that information.

"So I want you to wait a little longer to kill me."

I no longer have a match.

"If that's what you're saying....."

Syrone and Lino are convinced.

Then why don't you ask me a lot at this time? No, but don't push. "

Rage laughs. I wonder if you're going to torture me.

"Since it's in front of a girl..."

I've gotten used to this world a lot, but I don't think it would hurt for nothing to be a monster.

Unless, of course, you keep your mouth shut.

We go to Dihart laughing.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Rage is screaming.

While his consciousness was blurred, he heard the words.

Reggie's right. I don't have a goddess to help me.

I wonder if this is the difference between Reggie and me. I felt a wall that I could never win.

In the first place, there are seven of us. Honestly, I don't think it's fair.

But even if I cared about that now, I had no choice.

The magic was strong just now. It's strange to be alive.

Put your hands on your chest. I can feel the fire dragon breathing.

"Thank you... Thank you.... But... it doesn't seem to work anymore."

I murmur.

Thanks to the Fire Dragon soul's resistance to fire, the flames contained in the explosion could be prevented. That's why I'm alive.

However, the shock waves of the explosion could not be completely prevented. The armor I was wearing was shabby. It is also tough to stand.

I can see them approaching. Everyone is laughing with joy.

I'm sure you're glad you beat yourself.

I know it's bad if it stays like this, but my body didn't move.

What should I do? If you reveal who you are and be honest, life may help you.

But I couldn't do it. I think I'm stupid because my life is in danger.

I can see that Glorious is about to pop out from the signs on my back.

"No, Glorious... Stay hidden."

If we stay hidden, we won't find him. That should at least save Glorious.

They're approaching.

My body is fluttering and my head is loose.

"Ah...."

It was late when I realized.

Is it because I shook my head? The helmet with the crack fell off and fell to the ground.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

Dihalt's body sways and Dihalt's helmet falls to the ground.

From that moment on, Dihalt's face will be revealed.

"Eh, I'm a human...."

I was surprised. I knew that face was a monster.

The face looked like a normal person who was neither a demon nor a monster. Sleek look on black hair. The white face is dyed a little red.

"Ahhhh!!!

Suddenly Reno pointed at Dihart and shouted.

"What's wrong!? Reno-san!!

I look at Reno.

"Ah!! I've seen him before!!!

Reno screams at Dihart.

"Ku... Kuroki...!?

Shirone murmured.

Everyone sees Shirone in the words.

"Ah, why is Kuroki here!!!"

Shirone screams.

"Shit!! Yes, that's Shirone-san's childhood favorite!!

"E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------!!

Nao and I looked at Lino with a surprise voice.

Speaking of which, Lino must have seen Shirone's childhood acquaintance. And Shirone also says that Dihart is who he is.

Is that him?

Why is Shirone's childhood friend here?

I'm confused.

"Why is Shirone's childhood here?

Raige asks questions. I want to know that.

I see him as a childhood friend.

He looks like he's about to die and collapse.

"Ah, fall!!!

Lino screams.

His body is about to collapse behind him.

"Hey, Kuroki!!

Shirone tries to rush over.

But a huge shadow pops out of the cave instantly.

"Eh, dragon!!

It was the dark dragon that jumped out.

The dragon flies at a fierce speed when it puts him on his back.

We were unable to move on suddenly.

"Eh, what... What happened...!!"

Shirone screams. I don't know what happened, but I think I'm confused.

The dragon that carried him is getting smaller.

I had no choice but to watch the dragon fly.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Fly on Glorious's back.

"Thank God, Glorious."

Looks like he jumped out of nowhere because he was about to fall.

It ended up being saved.

There is no goddess of victory, but there is a dragon who can help us. So I can live without being able to win.

Reggie and the others didn't come after him for some reason. I don't know why.

Put your hands on your face. There's no helmet there. It's my face.

"They found out who you really are...."

This would have completely disliked Croki, not Dihart. Somehow he slashed someone he liked. I can't go back to my old relationship.

"Can't you win after all....."

I think it's a bullshit confrontation, I don't know what you're fighting against.

"You're such an idiot....."

Laugh a little.

Touch the horns of the Holy Dragon King tied to Glorious' back.

"I wonder if the goddess will come to me..."

That way we might win next time.

Your consciousness is cloudy. That's how tired I am.

"Sorry, Glorious... I'm going to get some sleep."

Glorious is losing consciousness on his back.

Glorious flew through the blue sky. The sun shines over the clouds, illuminating us.

I fell asleep in it.
