Chapter 298: A heart-breaking battle

"Namari, what's master's reply?"


"I will not come back"


As soon as he hears Namari's words, Russ´s magic power sways like annoyance.


In the living room of Yuu's mansion, there were not only Russ and Namari, but also Lena, Marifa, Momo and Kuro. Tin and the slave maid apprentices who are not here are absent because they are looking for Nina in Comer.


"What about you?"


"Absent"


"That's why you can often call yourself master's servant. This incompetence"


"Shut up. What is the reason for the Lord to serve the Lord on a regular basis? If a certain person is incompetent, the Lord is useless"


"Hou....... You think I'm useless?"


"If you don't realize it, can someone tell you?"


"Interesting"


Dense murder intent is released from both Russ and Kuro. The murder intent splatters when they collide with each other and as if it were a signal, they try to make a profit.


"Stop it"


Marifa, who had closed her eyes, utters words, as if she was meditating silently until then.


"Now it's not the case for you guys fighting"


Marifa mutters as if to tell herself. Russ tries to say something to Marifa, but he stops and snarls his mouth. The heavy air dominates the room, but at that time, a voice can be heard from the entrance to the living room.


"I´m home~"


It was Nina's long-awaited return home.


"Nuuhuuhu~. Where is Yuu? The sun has completely set and the game is my victory~"


She can't stand laughing and when Nina appears in the living room, she immediately looks for Yuu. However, the smile disappears from Nina's face and she becomes expressionless in the unusual atmosphere of Marifa and her friends.


"Where is Yuu?"


Marifa tries to open her mouth to Nina's question, but faster than that, Russ and Kuro walk up in front of Nina and kneel.


"Nina-dono, please bring us to Master"


While kneeling towards herself and looking down at Russ and Kuro bowing their heads, Nina didn't ask anything, just――


"I haven't heard"


――Muttering only, immediately activates 『Shadow Moving』. Nina's body sinks as she is sucked into her own shadow, but she jumps out of the shadow as if she were flipped around her knees.


"That......"


There are some conditions to move to the target registered in 『Shadow Moving』. One of them was that the shadow of the subject who registered the transfer had to be darker than a certain level. In other words, if Yuu is currently indoors, he is in a place with a weak light source. And――Lena and Marifa anxiously call Nina, but ignoring their voices, Nina rushes to the window, opens the window and looks up at the night sky.


"The moon――the moon is hidden"


And――the worst situation for Nina was that Yuu was outside. More than that, tonight was a dark night with thick clouds covering the sky and even a little moonlight.


-------------------------------


"Raaaaaaaaiiiii!!"


A knight wielding a sword appears in Yuu's field of vision, with a beast roaring from above, but he cannot be distracted by it. Front, back, left, right――no, because the spear cavalry was piercing from all directions. Yuu uses his arms to parry the approaching spears or twists his body and evades. However, he couldn't handle it completely and his shoulders and thighs were scraped. While the flesh and blood are splattering, the sword is swung down from the air, but Yuu shoots a side kick to the belly of the swordwielder. Normally, it would be a shock to let go of the sword, but the sword was not blown, probably because the knight holding the sword had an extraordinary grip strength. Instead, a strange noise came from the shocked wrist. The tip of the knight's wrist hangs loosely, but he never releases his sword.


"Tsk"


Yuu briefly clicks his tongue, grabs the knight's wrist with both hands and swings the sword down at the knight.


"Nuuu......!"


A short screaming voice leaks from the knight. The blow, which would otherwise have struck the knight's helmet and head, slashed from his right shoulder. Undauted, Yuu thrusts the knight's right arm behind him with a hanging sword. This time, the sword that should have pierced the chest of the spearman, who was definitely looking through the gap from behind, deviated and pierced his side.As a result of seeing that Yuu had begun to get used to the negative magic, the Holy Knights of Jardalk began to mix negative enchant magic that would drive the three-semicircle and perspective crazy. Therefore, Yuu missed the attack on his target or became shallower.


"I got you!"


"Here also!!"


A shining chain is connected to Yuu's left wrist and right ankle. The rank 3 holy magic released by the holy knights, 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』, is a magic that restrains the target with a holy chain. It's not magic that Yuu would receive normally. Even if he receives it, he would release it immediately, but this time he had no room for that. The most troublesome thing is――


"Haaaaaaaaa!!"


When the knight who lost his right arm plunges into Yuu, sprinkling blood from his wound, he holds Yuu's waist with his left arm and tries to block his movement. The Holy knights didn't lose their fighting spirit when they lost one arm.


"I, I'm not going to fall down!?


Yuu doesn't make a tremor, even though he has eaten the knight's tackle while his arms and legs are being pulled by 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』. An arrow pierces Yuu's right forearm as he tries to hit his right elbow into the neck of the knight who clings to his death. Immediately after, Cesar, who holds a large shield from the side, blows Yuu into the air with the rank 4 shield technique 『Shield Burst』 while the whole body is solidified with the shield technique 『Iron Wall』. This is it. Every time Yuu tries to put an end to those who missed it, 『Perforation』Stephan, 『Great Shield Cesar』 and the captain of the 4th Battalion who commands the archer corps play a central role in disturbing him. Because of that, Yuu couldn't reduce the number as he expected.


"It's annoying"


The moment Cesar's shield hit, he jumped backwards, but Yuu still had cracks in his left radius, humerus and ribs. In addition, the arrows shot by the Archer Corps chase after Yuu, who is flying in the air. It's not an arrow shot in the dark clouds. The arrows are pressed to be sucked into Yuu's vital points. He doesn't know if it's a stationary object, as it's not an accumulation because it is released by predicting the movement of Yuu who is fighting. Yuu uses the sword to parry the flying arrows at high speed. When Yuu, who runs in the air with his unique skill 『Rapid Sky Walk』, looks up at the sky slightly, he finds that a strong barrier is set up and he cannot escape to the sky.


"Drag him down!"


"Pull!"


"Haaa!!"


The holy knights who control the 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』 put all their energy into returning Yuu to the ground. However, faster than that, Yuu slashed the 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』 that bound him with the sword.


"What a guy. He slashed the 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』without difficulty"


There is no resistance that should be there and the bodies of the Holy Knights who pulled the 『Holy Light Arrest Chain - Seikou Bakusa』 with all their might become dead bodies for a moment. It's not Yuu who misses the chance. He kicks the sky and plunges into the Holy Knights like a bullet, but in the middle he is knocked down on the ground. It is the work of the person who first broke through Yuu's barrier and various resistances. Far from seeing Yuu, someone who can't even find his whereabouts gets in the way at key points when Yuu is at the most unpleasant time.


"Guu......"


Although he twisted his body and landed on his feet, Yuu's reaction, which was tens of times his own weight, was slightly delayed. Hundreds of negative enchant magics are struck into Yuu at that moment.


"Hmm. What about the war dead?"


Barash, protected by heavy cavalry, asks his young servant for a report.


"Haa. Currently, there are about 240 people"


"What's the process?"


Barash´s words give a glimpse of the bitter feelings that cannot be hidden from the face of the young man who follows him.


"According to the original agreement, we are processing with 『Purification Flame』"


This was decided so that the dead would not be undead because Yuu would use high-level undead magic. The rank 2 holy magic, 『Purification Flame』, purifies the body and spirit. However, if you use 『Purification Flame』, you can't even leave the hair, let alone a corpse. The martyrs of the Holy War, those who have fought against evil for many years and those who could be called their heroes cannot be returned to their families. It can be said that it is unavoidable that the young man who serves as Barash's servant has a bitter expression.


"All responsibility lies with me"


Barash's words as if he had read his heart, the young servant hurriedly raised his face.


"Ba, Barash-sama"


"Well, how about the Demon King from the perspective of the Lord?"


"It's a word of a terrifying existence. No, is it okay to express it in such easy words? Please see here"


With that said, the young servant reaches out to Barash. When he opened his fist, his palm contained a black object that at first glance looked like a flower bud.


"This is?"


"It was the first 『Steel Bullet』released by 『Jet Black Seventh Heavenly Demon』. Most of it smashed into the 『Water Wall』, but I brought it because there was something that kept its original shape. Will disappear over time, but I have prepared it to let you know the horror of the Demon King"


"Hmm. It seems that the color and shape are different from the 『Steel Bullet』that I know"


"That's right. This bullet, which resembles a flower bud, isn't as cute as it looks. It's compared to a regular 『Steel bullet』by touching the subject or spreading and bursting into a flowering bud inside the body. It causes more damage than it can be. It is a substitute designed to destroy the human body more efficiently. Moreover, it is purposely blackened."


"Has the Demon King blackened it to match this dark night?"


"You should think so"


The young servant takes a deep breath slowly and only once.


"If you couldn't predict the first move of' 『Jet Black Seventh Heavenly Demon』and if you hadn't devised a countermeasure, the first attack would definitely have killed thousands. For example, the siege has been successful"


A violent collision sounds into the ears of Barash and the young man. When they look in the direction of the sound, they see one of the heavy cavalry guarding Barash flying in the air.


"Throwing!"


"Don't let your guard down. The other party is the demon king!"


At the feet of the rushing heavy cavalry, the handles of thrown shields and shattered swords rolled.


"Barash-sama......"


"It's not a coincidence. It's probably aimed at me"


"Aiming for Barash's life in this situation"


A large amount of cold sweat from fear and tension travels like a waterfall on the back of the young servant, as Yuu continues to be attacked.


"It looks like the soldiers aren't moving"


"This is due to the Demon King's passive skill 『Intimidation』. Those with a lower level than the Demon King will be forced to lose their abilities"


"Muu....... Is it possible for someone to resist it like 『Three Sword』"


"Rather, I think it was good with 『Intimidation』. If this is 『Strong Pressure』 or 『Tyranny』 of a higher skill, it makes me chill just to imagine"


"That's right. I have to thank Irigamit for fighting the Demon King at this stage"


"Even so, the Demon King doesn't even use 『Space-time Magic』or even 『Pillage』"


"It's not that he doesn't use it. He can't use it"


"Can't use it......?"


"Umm. Since there are few users of 『Space-Time Magic』, it is a something that is not well understood yet, but it is known that even if you have the skill of 『Casting Discard』, it will not be activated immediately. Scholars said that manipulating time was related. It's simpler when it comes to『Pillage』. Using it creates a gap, whether it's successful or not. If it's a one-on-one battle, I don't know. The chance is fatal to them. The Demon King can't use it because he understands it"


Barash strokes his beard while observing Yuu during the fierce battle.


"Is that also due to information from insiders?"


"Umm. You don't have to rush. Take your time. You know that breaking the demon king's heart is the victory. Well, it's time to enter the war. Send Dross"


"Haa! Put in the First Fighter Squadron!! Repeat!! Put in the First Fighter Squadron!!"


Those who have been waiting for the command of the young servant come forward while stirring up the soldiers.


"Get out of here!"


"Open the front!!"


"The first fighter squadron comes forward! Leave the front immediately!"


The First Fighter Squadron did not wear swords, spears, shields, etc. like the other soldiers. It was a characteristic of the fighter squadron that they wore leather and cloth woven with specially processed threads, did not wear any blades and fought with their own bodies as weapons.


"Well, it ’s my turn"


Hitting both fists and slamming, 『Holy Fist』 Dross smiles with a warlike smile.


"Huuu, Huu~u!"


Yuu's through hand pierces the throat of a Holy Knight, who loses both arms and still tries to bite Yuu's throat. No matter how much recovery magic is poured, it will be ineffective if you die. The Holy Knight falls to the ground, sprinkling blood from his throat. Looking around Yuu, there are more than ten corpses lying around.


"Hey, hey, hey. You're merciless"


Dross appears in front of Yuu with his subordinates.


"What is it? A fucking kid like you is a Demon King? Kuu......Kuhahaa! Isn't this more of a hedgehog than a demon king!!"


Yuu's whole body is stuck with innumerable arrows. Depending on how you look at him, Yuu looks like a hedgehog, as Dross says.


"Hey, Demon King. I'm 『Holy Fist』Dross"


Although Dross introduces himself, Yuu doesn't respond. Rather than ignoring it.


"Hey, say something"


"I've never heard of the nickname ,『Holy Fist』. You're more stupid than that, arent you?"


No one is attacking while Dross is talking fluently. Meanwhile, Yuu was overwriting and canceling the negative enchant magics that were applied to him one after another. Too stupid, Yuu suspected that this was a trap. On the other hand, a blue streak emerges in the temple of the ridiculed Dross.


"Do it with me"


At the command of Dross, the members of the First Fighter Squadron kick the ground silently. Is the distance to Yuu about 10 meters? Close the distance with one step.


"Seiya!"


A sharpened fist strikes past where Yuu's face was.


"Haaaa!"


A kick is released from another man. Yuu, who raises his right foot to prevent it, is approached by a kick that cuts the remaining left foot from the front and back. A kick is shot from all directions to Yuu who kicks the ground as intended and escapes into the air.


"Response!!"


The front was Yuu who prevented it with his arm, but the kicks shot into his flanks and back sank into Yuu's body. The First Fighter Squadron is a unit consisting of about thirty people. The enlistment qualification is very strict with a minimum of level 6 or higher in 『Jujutsu』. Their fists and kicks are powerful enough to kill an ogre with a single blow.


"I got it!!"


One of the First Fighter Squadron throws a right fist thrust, thinking that Yuu no longer have the power to fight back.


"Gaha......!?"


Yuu matched his fist to the fist. As a result of each other's fists colliding head-on, the other's fist is crushed and the broken bones pierce the skin and pop out. Already, the other members of the First Fighter Squadron are in a position to attack. The man whose fist is crushed is not frightened by the pain and drops his heels. It is a simultaneous attack from eight directions by eight masters.


"Naa......im, possible"


"Goheee"


Eight men collapse to the ground. It is by Yuu´s hand. Martial arts LV5 『Eight consecutive thrusts』, a technique that shoots eight fists in one breath.


"Th, That's it!!"


The remaining fighters attack Yuu.


"Gohaa"


For the man who kicked, Yuu avoided and slammed his kick into his face. The steel body, which has been forged by hitting the whole body with a steel rod, loses consciousness with a single kick and falls to the ground like a puppet with a broken thread.


"Haaa!!"


The next man was a left elbow. Yuu shoots his fist from bottom to top. He knocked his elbow up with the so-called uppercut. Without killing the momentum as it is, connect the techniques so that they flow from the uppercut to the martial arts LV2 『Elbow Sky Blow』. Yuu's right elbow cuts a man's ribs. The blow not only breaks his ribs, but also destroys his heart's internal organs. They attack Yuu one after another, but no one is a opponent.


"I can't believe it. The heroes of our first fighter squadron lag behind in jujutsu!?"


The deputy captain next to Dross shakes his head so that he doesn't want to believe the sight in front of him.


"Tsk. Shame on you in front of the other corps"


Dross walks calmly, ringing his shoulders.


"It's not a big deal for the fact that I came out with a lot of effort"


More than 20 members of the First Fighter Squadron were lying on the ground. Most of them don't even move. They were dead without confirmation.


"Silly!"


The moment he thought Dross had moved, there was already a figure of Dross in Yuu's pocket.


"What's wrong? With such a surprised face"


"Don't say the right thing"


"Haaha~!"


An unstoppable fist-fight begins between Yuu and Dross. No, it's hard to catch with the eyes. It's invisible to the eyes.


"Oh, oh, don't do it!"


Furthermore, Dross´s attack becomes quick. Gradually, Yuu couldn't avoid Dross´s attack and was hit.


"Demon King~. What's wrong? You look pale! You're not in good shape! Haaha~!!"


There are still dozens of negative enchant magic left in Yuu's body. Moreover, if there is a chance, arrows and negative enchant magic will fly. Yuu couldn't devote all his power to just Dross.


"Die!"


Dross shoots his right fist. The aim is Yuu's heart. As before, Yuu tries to match his fist with Dross' right fist. The moment each fist hits, Dross opens his fist and turns it into a palm. When Dross' palm wraps Yuu's left fist, a dry sound echoes. It is the sound of the spirit of destruction running down the bones from the fist. Dross released the martial arts LV6 『Penetration』. At first glance, Yuu's left fist looked like it was nothing, but it's not. The bones of his left fist were not only shattered, but the bones up to his left shoulder were shattered as well. To Dross with a grin, Yuu doesn't fight back and remains frozen as if time had stopped. Even the Holy Knights around couldn't understand what had happened. But――


"Stunning! It's 『Holy fist』!!"


Some have noticed, including 『Perforation』 Stephan. Dross' left palm strike is being driven into Yuu's abdomen. However, instead of the usual palm strike, Dross' left palm strike was thumbs up. His thumb was thrust into Yuu's navel. martial arts LV4 『Drilling Navel Fang』. It was a terrifying technique that struck the mind from the navel and damaged the target's internal organs. If you look at it, blood is flowing down from Yuu's mouth. The internal organs are damaged and if it is true, he endures blood vomiting.


"Arere~? Isn't the Demon King like this? It's not a big deal......"


Dross fuels Yuu as much as the intention returns. Yuu fires a back fist with his remaining right arm.


"Haahaa~!!"


Dross evades and hits Yuu's injured navel with his right fist. Fresh blood flutters into the air like a mist from Yuu's mouth. Yuu jumps back greatly. Countless arrows are shot not to allow him any space.


"Demon King don't run away!!"


With a ferocious smile, Dross pursues Yuu.


--------------------------------------------------------


The 30,000 Holy Knights, who are in charge of the outer circumference of the Bueruko basin, have been on duty since the start of the operation without showing any caution. Everything from unfortunately passing travelers to monsters has been processed without delay.


"What's wrong?"


A colleague's knight asks one of the knights who suddenly shoots an arrow into the sky.


"Did you kill it?"


Another knight asks a different question.


"Yes"


"As expected of the high-ranking younger brother of the captain of the 4th battalion, 『Projection Killer』"


"No way, what's flying in this dark night?"


"That's it. So what was it?"


"I don't know that much. Maybe a big monster or a demon bird. Either way, if it crashes from that height, it won't be alive"


「Must be」, the other knights nod. Is it because of daily training that it doesn't make a lot of noise despite doing such a trick, or is it because other people are also strong people who far exceed ordinary people? In any case, it was certain that these people who protected the perimeter of the Bueruko basin had no chance of a minute.


"Who is it!!"


The knights react to the sound of dragging something. It is a sound that drags a fairly large object as you can guess from the sound.


"Answer!"


"Enough"


The knight who showed his splendid bow arm earlier shoots an arrow toward the darkness. Two or three shots in a row.


"It's rare. You can shoot arrows in a row"


"I didn't hit"


"What? That should be――"


To that extent, the knights' eyes are focused on the man who emerged from the darkness.


"Hey, are you? The one who shot the arrow at me"


"Jo......Joseph Yorm!?"
