Side story 10: When light falls from the sky 2
--Ruburg Kingdom--
Ketty and Kefin have not yet reached the huge magic circle that appeared in the western region of the Kingdom of Ruburg.
This is because as I was leaving the royal capital and heading towards the huge magic circle, a swarm of undead appeared like they were springing out of the earth.
"Luciel-sama should have purified it, but I didn't know that this much grudge still remained..."
"Curses and grudges are accumulating more easily. Do you really want to become an undead and leave the safe fort to fight?"
Ketty, who was beyond angry and stunned, answered Kefin's words as she looked at the Ruburg Kingdom's army coming out of the fort.
Their purpose was to deal with the demons and monsters that appeared from the huge magic circle, but if they abandoned the Ruburg Kingdom army at this point, it was predicted that even the Ruburg Kingdom army would become undead. Ru.
If that happens, the surrounding villages and towns where the barrier has been set up will be flooded, and the magic tools that are deploying the barrier may not be able to withstand the load.
If we could use holy attribute magic like Luciel, we could wipe out the undead...that's how I felt.
"Ketty, your priority is the giant magic circle."
"What are you doing now..."
"But I don't think it's best to abandon them here."
Kefin intended to stay behind and hold back the undead horde.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, lately I’ve started to resemble Luciel-sama in being kind-hearted… nya.”
Ketty realized that Kefin was planning to stay here even if only by himself and join the Ruburg Kingdom's army.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"I'll go with you because I have no choice... But once you defeat a certain amount of undead, head to the magic circle. That's a promise."
"thank you"
Keffin understood that Ketty would also stay and was happy about that.
Ketty thought, (I've heard that the position of the person you fall in love with is weakened, but if you're together and have feelings for someone, it won't matter...).
In this way, the two of them spent their time defeating the undead that rose up from the earth one after another, and punching out the commander (an aristocrat) in order to return the Royal Ruburg army to the fort.
However, after defeating a certain amount of undead, I thought it was time to move to the huge magic circle.
Ketty and Keffin hugged each other protectively as they saw a tremendous amount of light fall from the sky, turning the earth white.
--Outside the labyrinth of intrigue--
After deciphering and analyzing the patterns drawn on the giant magic circle, Bazak built an improved and simplified version.
He analyzes and improves the magic and magic circle he sees in a short period of time, then constructs and activates it.
This is the reason why it was given the name Abyss because it is someone who challenges the abyss of magic.
(I see, that's interesting. It wasn't a summon, but rather a connection between spaces. I guess they drew up a technique to strengthen their physical abilities and make their personality more ferocious. In exchange...)
Bazak's gaze turned towards the soldiers of the Principality of Brange who were frozen in ice, and the adventurers who were cooperating with the soldiers.
Their number easily exceeded 100, but in Bazak's sense, unless they were a group of Ikki Tousen, they were just a bunch of crows and insignificant.
"Using a precious spirit stone for something like this is worth death...don't you hear me?"
Bazak removed the spirit stone from his weapon and threw it aside, and when he looked up at the magic circle again, he saw an amount of light falling from the sky that was ridiculous to even count.
“I wonder if something like this can happen in humans…I hope.”
Bazak realized that it would be pointless to run away if the countless lights he saw were an attack, and decided to head to the front lines if he could survive safely, and was swallowed up by a torrent of white light.
――Over the Irmasia Empire――
Every time the huge magic circle began to glow red and black, the main cannon and secondary cannon imbued with holy attribute magic were fired from the flying boat operated by Doran.
Then, it was sucked into the magic circle many times without affecting the barrier, but just before the main gun fired by Doran and the others passed through the magic circle, it hit something and exploded inside the barrier.
The barrier wavered due to this effect, but nothing seemed to come out of the magic circle.
"Did the magic emit from the magic circle? Hurry up and check on Lina."
“Such magical power was not on the radar.”
“Doran-sama, it seems there are quite a few people under the magic circle.”
While Doran raised a voice that sounded like he was yelling, Lina and Nanya, who had already gotten used to it, were concentrating on their own work.
“I don’t think that new emperor was in a hurry to take credit, right?”
Doran was well aware that if the ruler of the country was replaced, he would be eager to make a record.
However, that was immediately denied by Lina and Nanya.
``As expected, I wish to have a friendship with Luciel-sama, and Lionel-sama...reverenceKeiEven though you are doing it? ”
"Before that, I don't think there are any weapons that can offset the main cannon. The research on weapons that was being conducted in the Empire has already been discarded, right?"
At that moment, an idea occurred to Dolan.
I thought it might be possible to send weapons to the Empire via Nerdal...
It was confusing to go back to the surface just to check what was going on, not knowing what was going on.
It was at that time. A loud alarm rang out on the airship.
"What's going on?"
"I confirmed countless strong magical powers from above. This...is impossible to avoid."
"What! Anti-aircraft defense, all gun ports to the magical power of the sky."
"Doran-sama, even if we put up a barrage, there are still that many..."
Doran calmed down and laughed when he saw Lina and Nanya half-crying as if they were about to give up.
"In that case, it's a secret move. Lina, Nanya, hold on to your seat firmly! Maximum defense against magic, dragon wave deployment."
Doran pressed the red button next to the main gun, which was normally covered and not touched.
Then the airship loses its buoyancy and begins to fall naturally from behind.
Then, when the secondary gun that had been installed detached from the flying boat and scattered to all sides of the flying boat, the secondary gun split from the middle and emitted a beam of light that connected the secondary gun and the secondary gun, and a transparent light appeared on the front of the flying boat. A membrane appears.
At that moment, Doran launches the flying boat towards the sky at maximum power and plunges into the white light.
Furthermore, Doran's trick was that if he deployed the Dragon Wave, he would be unable to use the main gun and would become just a flying target.
--Nerdal---
And time goes back to the point where Luciel and his friends entered the space where the next world tree was being protected.
After seeing off Luciel and the others, the Valkyrie Holy Knights split into two groups and decided to defend themselves.
The older group of Marluka, Gannet, Elizabeth, Cassie, and Bearice with excellent defensive abilities guarded the dining hall leading to the warehouse, while the younger group of Lucy, Queena, Lipnea, Myra, and Saran entered Luciel and the others. I was assigned to guard the invisible door.
Although all members of the Valkyrie Holy Knight Corps had recovered their physical strength through Luciel's recovery magic, they were still mentally exhausted and mentally scarred by being driven to the brink of being wiped out in the labyrinth. .
Even so, what followed Pope, Luciel, and Captain Rumina was nothing more than a sense of mission to protect the world.
It was impossible for everyone to relax as the security guard could be attacked at any time, and everyone was talking quite a bit.
That was the time.
It shook so much that Nerdal could barely stand.
Then, they heard an explosion, so when Marluka and Bearice went outside to check, they saw smoke rising in the distance.
However, even though there was an attack, they decided that their priority was the Pope and the others. Just as they were about to return, they saw something flying above Nerdal.
“Is that a pterosaur!?”
"No, pterosaurs aren't that big. There are pterosaurs over there...how many are there?"
What Bearice saw in her field of vision was a group of pterosaurs following behind a gigantic pterosaur.
Then, the largest pterodactyl breathed out its breath towards Nerdal, and the barrier protecting him was activated.
However, when the barrier was activated, numerous lightning strikes occurred, and Nerdal was shaken again.
And this was right after the shaking stopped.
An announcement comes in that Nerdal is under attack.
``To all those who live in Nerdal, currently Nerdal is being attacked by an unidentified dragon knight and undead who have been transferred from the Duchy of Brange. I want those who are free to stop the attackers, and those who cannot fight to begin evacuating to shelters. repeat……""
Marluka opens her mouth while listening to the repeated announcements.
"It might be dangerous if this continues..."
"It's dangerous. Let's meet up with everyone right away."
Bearice also agreed to that possibility and hurried back to the dining room.
He then tells everyone that they are not being attacked by a normal pterodactyl, but by a large pterodactyl and lightning that is trying to break the barrier.
However, they still decide that the Pope and others should be their priority. However, here Lucy speaks for everyone's hesitation.
“It is probably right for me as a Holy Knight belonging to the Church of St. Sureur to give priority to protecting the Pope and others.However, in this situation, which is not a normal time, I should give priority to protecting Lady Rumina and Lady Luciel, who are stronger than us. I feel like something is going on.”
"Maybe so. However, even if we join in, it might not be of any use."
Elizabeth recalls what happened in the labyrinth of Saint Schreur's Trial.
“But since he was the Demon King, it couldn’t be helped… Don’t you agree with that?”
Sarang has a gloomy look on her face, but speaks positively.
"I agree. And I'm pretty used to being undead."
Marluka laughs inappropriately.
“Well, I feel like I want to get a little wild.”
Myra closes her eyes and holds her treasure close to her heart.
“All you have to do is not let Nerdal fall until the Pope and the others return, otherwise you will lose.”
Queena organizes the conditions for success of the operation.
"Oh, that seems easy."
Bearice smiled and put the cookie she took out from somewhere into her mouth.
"There's no one who's only complaining. And I won't let my guard down, so I won't lose."
Just like Elizabeth, Cassie reminisced about the labyrinth of trials, but that alone was stressful.
“Lucy was the one who came up with the idea, so please report to Captain Rumina.”
Lipnea didn't want Rumina, whom she respected, to get angry at her, so she quietly told her her true feelings.
“No, let’s all get angry about that together.”
Lucy waved her hand rapidly.
Everyone laughs at this, and Gannet makes a sound that sounds like a murmur.
"Still, I never thought that the day would come when I would disobey orders. Is this also influenced by Lucien?"
"Maybe. But when I first met you, I never imagined that Luciel-sama would become such a person."
When Lucy said that as if she was remembering it, everyone else shared the same impressions.
"Well, I guess Captain Rumina has an eye for seeing things."
"That's right. We need to quickly make the world peaceful in order to cultivate the eyes of men."
"Ripnea is still young, so please don't marry her before your sisters."
"Bearice-san, I don't have a partner, so please wait until you're ready to worry about that."
"Then we will show the foolish attackers the power of the Valkyrie Holy Knights. Let's go."
""Oh!!""
In this way, the Valkyrie Holy Knights jumped into the flames of Nerdal, aiming for the attacking pterosaurs.
After that, the members of the Valkyrie Holy Knights encountered the enemy and fought, ignoring the flying pterosaurs that were out of reach of their attacks.
Even so, the undead that teleported to me were numerous and so strong that I couldn't let my guard down.
Moreover, the pterodactyl tried to emit a breath that could not be ignored.
That's when everyone thought this was bad.
When a shadow falls on the giant pterosaur, a golden flash engulfs its head, causing the pterosaur to lose its power and fall.
The flock of pterosaurs, which had lost their leader, hurriedly flew around, but golden flashes shot down the pterosaurs one after another.
What on earth happened when I turned my gaze to find a small dragon that looked a lot like a reincarnated dragon?
When the Valkyrie Holy Knights saw this figure, they somehow understood the true identity of that small dragon, and they left the enemy in the sky to them and concentrated on the undead.
However, when a demon resembling that demon king was transferred there, everyone was shaken.
"How much time are you going to spend on these small fry! Huh? There was someone like a knight here too."
As if the demon was in a bad mood, the moment it was wrapped in miasma, it released a huge mass of magical power.
That mass of magical power was released towards the magician's guild, and Marluka, Myra, and Lucy, who were fighting with their backs against the magician's guild, prepared for death, and then an explosion sounded.
However, the three of them did not receive any damage.
it is--.
"Captain Lumina"
"It's unheard of for a squad to break a guard's orders. I'll listen carefully to the excuse after I defeat that thing, so everyone, please ask the undead."
````Yes''''
"I'm sorry, but that face and figure hold a grudge. So please forgive me for not being able to make any adjustments."
"Hah, you think you're just offsetting magical power! Prepare yourself, white woman!"
"Come, servant of the evil god."
And that was when the battle between the two was about to begin.
A ball of light shot up into the sky and exploded.
Then, an explosion sounded from the sky, and the pterodactyl in the sky and the people who seemed to be riding the pterosaur fell down.
“What the hell did you do!?”
The demons were amazed at Rumina.
"Okay. But there's no point even if you know."
However, Rumina accepts it with a cool face.
"Huh? Are you saying that because you're going to defeat me!!"
"Wow. I think my head is turning a bit."
"Regret for making me angry."
In this way, Rumina, the self-proclaimed demon lord, and similar demons clashed.
Thank you for reading.
Today is also a quiet day. Next time we will return to Luciel's perspective.
