066 hunch

At the end of the road, which stretches straight, there was a “transfer gate” for the purpose.

I have always imagined the transfer gate to be a facility the size of an elevator.

But the actual metastasis gates are not of that size.

The masonry of stone made into a cup of walls per penetration and the magic formation engraved there - each intertwined in a very intricate form.

I don't know what role that craftsmanship or magic team plays.

Originally, I thought that metastases in this world were made up of relatively simple mechanisms.

Battle transitions (battle gates) and gates (gates), for example, do not even require magic formations to be drawn for their activation.

Especially given the long transferable distance between the doors (gates), the question arises as to why, rather, such a facility is required solely for transferring. Instead of a magical “wedge," of course, it is understandable in itself that we will need some kind of facility...

Roberto said beyond the mountain range beyond the realm of extinction is the Land of the Devil.

With that in mind, the distance travelled using the transfer gate seems to be to the extent of crossing one or two mountains at a time.

But the equipment in front of you is as massive as a church pipe organ.

Does it mean that the Demon Nation is in a place where you need something like this?

The lightning shined in front of me and the smoke boiled off the floor the moment I was walking and thinking about it.

In the smoke that rises to the present, I cover my face and blink my eyes.

My vision was completely blocked and I didn't know what was happening on the other side of the smoke.

But we weren't exactly watching it.

- Kay, Sylvia, step back.

To Celestia's voice, me and Sylvia fall back.

I don't know what will come out of it. Everyone was on guard and in a combatable position.

After a while, the sand smoke gradually clears up. Along with that, one shadow was found hidden from view.

The size of the shadow is never large. It's too small for a human adult.

"No way, kid -?"

Seeing a relatively small body shape, I squeal.

But Grace answered the voice as soon as she could identify the presence in front of her.

"Kay, that is not human.

That's - that's a sprigan. It is far more powerful than any physically capable, human being. "

I “stared” into the voice at a shadow that I had yet to see completely.

Grace is right, a species called Sprigan.

And then...

"- You're a demon."

I'll tell everyone.

My tone was too calm at this time, and the presence in front of me may have been "demonic and natural”. Celestia and Grace looked back at me for a moment.

Knowing who the other person is, everyone's nervousness grows grossly.

As the smoke cleared up - he saw the sprigan “Bernardo”.

Dark-haired short hair to look small as a human being. A single horn protruded from his forehead.

Your body looks pretty tight. Sometimes my body is small, and I got the impression that it would be quite lumpy.

The equipment is made of leather armor-like protective equipment, each with a knife in both hands.

Bernardo showed his stern face here and laughed niggly.

Except for the horns sticking out of my forehead, I have a human appearance, but my complete cat eye tells me I'm still not human.

"Oh - I wondered who was here, but you look surprisingly welcome in large numbers."

I hear a young man. Sometimes my back length is small, and I don't even look like an adolescent boy somehow.

I thought the timing was too good to appear, but in Bernardo's mouth, he apparently sensed us approaching the metastasis gate. If so, he can't be extra alarmed.

Bernardo opened his mouth again as we silently failed to respond to his words.

"You guys don't seem like demons. - Why are you here?

I'm going to inadvertently return a friendly answer to an innocent question.

But where I answered, fighting would be inevitable.

If so, I wanted to see how they would react to what I was trying to do.

"I'm simply here to destroy the portal."

Hearing my words, Bernardo's gaze moves back to me.

Bernardo said as he looked at me and narrowed his eyes for a moment, opening his eyes immediately afterwards.

"Oh dear - I thought you were just a bunch of miscellaneous fish, you have an apostle.

And what, you're breaking the metastasis gates?

- But if you break the metastasis gates, aren't you in trouble, too?

"What?"

I asked back with a wrinkle between my brows.

What's the meaning of this? Breaking down the transfer gates will get me in trouble...?

Being determined to be an apostle, the pain coming from the constraints runs through my head.

With that in mind, I began to think about what the answer now would mean.

In the meantime, Bernardo is shifting his gaze to Grace and Sylvia.

When that gaze stopped for a moment at Celestia's, he opened his mouth to his odd satisfaction.

"Is there only one apostle? But - Clancy's messenger is not good, it builds my appetite.

I can smell Clancy from the woman there, and what a good fortune to come here and have her for an early treat. "

Bernardo's, I heard a little laugh called Kukuk.

Hearing that makes everyone more nervous.

"Well, I'll make sure it tastes good."

With that voice, Bernardo wickedly distorted his expression.

The next moment, his body scratches out completely.

Battlegate! Bernardo was already on my side when I was conscious.

"Oh!

With Bernardo's good voice, the knife on his right hand turns brilliant. I couldn't fully keep up with that speed, and I ate a knife blow to the chest.

Shortly afterwards, Gashan! The loud noise sounds and the contact magic wall (magic wall) is smashed away.

Bernardo's attack doesn't seem to be that powerful, though early. His knife just broke the demon wall (magic wall) and it didn't reach my body.

Then the knife on your left flashed, but your attack could be prevented with a magic shield deployed by the ruler's cage hand (Road Bracer).

Bernardo immediately jumps back when he sees the attack between his hands come to an end undeveloped. I'm sure he was wary of a counterattack.

Though I guess I won't hit it, I had three rounds of demon ammo (magic ball) - inside. But as expected, everything will be avoided lightly.

"Heh -.

You use unusual magic. "

I said with my eyes open as Bernardo was impressed.

I don't know if that's the word that referred to unattributed magic or to contact magic.

Either way, Bernardo still seems to have plenty of room to avoid the first blow.

- And on Bernardo, who remained invincibly laughing, Grace hung a rampage (charge) from the side.

Spikes by the Dagger of Destiny (Chris) against Bernardo and slaughter by the Hidden Long Sword (Sword of Hermit) continue.

He was in the same position as he had lifted his guard, but he avoided both Grace attacks without difficulty. Only then can it be found to have considerable evasion power.

Bernardo, on the contrary, began to rush out after Sylvia in the rear, with momentum that avoided Grace's attack.

Celestia, who was considering the possibility of her being targeted, cracks in between.

"Come on!

As Celestia's voice guides him, Bernardo launches an attack on Celestia in between.

Celestia used her shield to take Bernardo's attack after paying Bernardo's right hand with the Sword of the Virgin (Jacqueline).

- Well, that's sweet.

"What -!?"

Bernardo, who laughed at the moment, spins sideways on the spot and releases a spinning kick with his right leg.

The kick was on Celestia's right upper arm, and she blew it off the spot with a groan.

Bernardo's body is small, but his instantaneous power is considerable.

Celestia was blown away, even though she was kicked from above the armor of the Virgin (Armor of Dame). I'm pretty sure he sees it as having considerable muscle strength.

With Celestia's retreat, there's nothing to block between Bernardo and Sylvia.

Bernardo laughed niggardly and ran out after her again.

"Hey, don't come over here!!

Sylvia realizes she is being targeted and hurries to fire flameballs (flameballs).

Bernardo, however, avoided it without difficulty and approached Sylvia with the same momentum.

The moment the murder blade attempts to descend on Sylvia, I break into Sylvia's side with a combat transfer (Battlegate).

"Come on -!"

If we shelter her too soon, Bernardo will redirect us in the direction we escaped.

It was also necessary to transfer for critical timing in order to avoid a firm attack.

But Bernardo's attack is faster than I thought. I couldn't avoid the attack and got my left arm slashed with a knife. As soon as there is daze, bright red blood runs out.

For a moment, Bernardo's eyes turned to me.

I'm confident the pursuit is coming, and I will immediately deploy a protective perimeter (protection field).

Fearing the aftermath of the junction, Bernardo took a distance to fly away.

"- Well, the junction.

But how long does that keep you?

Bernardo tells me to mock (bruise).

He probably has an overall ability to deflect physical combat.

Because it should be easier to seal his physical attacks and bring them into a magic battle as much as possible.

"Sylvia, don't get out of the line."

"Yeah."

When I say that, I hang a healing (elder heel) and healing (recovery) on myself.

The magic of healing (recovery) is the magic of healing wounds, including fractures. The higher the severity of the wound, the longer it takes to heal it fully. It can also cure HP loss due to wounds or stop bleeding, but it does not help to undo the HP itself, which has been reduced. This is why it must be used in conjunction with the Great Heal (Elder Heel).

Bernardo's movements have stopped for a moment as he turned his gaze toward me and watched the junction.

Seeing that as an opportunity, Roberto hit from behind Bernardo. It's a rare, unheard attack for Roberto.

But as if he had eyes on his back, the attack would then be avoided.

Shortly afterwards, Celestia was slashed by Bernardo as if she had signed up. That's exactly the kind of attack that Roberto's attack was supposed to be avoided. Bernardo, on the other hand, is in a rather impossible position. However, he showed an unusually soft motion and cleverly avoided the attack.

Grace then releases a slaughter toward Bernardo.

Bernardo avoided it as he spun it backwards, having had difficulty avoiding it with a single hair on the boulder.

Turning to his guard, Bernardo takes an even bigger step back to show him his move to take a moment's distance.

- Bernardo, however, ran (charge) from that position to Celestia at once.

Needless to say Celestia has the thickest armor. Perhaps it was because we know that, that we tried to get caught off guard. Bernardo's attack hit her body, sewing a gap between Celestia's armor and armor.

"Chi -!!"

Celestia's right arm is damaged and bright red blood splashes from her arm.

Grace released a wind blade from the side to interfere with Bernardo, who showed him how to pursue.

The wind blade strikes Bernardo's foot, drawing a unique curve. However, Bernardo avoided the difficult track.

"There it is. Ahhh!!

Roberto must have been after that timing from the start.

The moment Bernardo avoided the wind blade, his short spear of erosion (Eclipse) flashed (flickering).

Roberto's overwhelming thrust wraps the light of the thrust (charge spike) and is sucked into Bernardo's chest.

――

For a moment - the blow looked as if it had been decided.

However, the tip of Roberto's erosion spear (Eclipse) is stopped just before it hits Bernardo's chest.

Bernardo overlapped the left and right dinosaur shortcuts (dual edges), completely preventing the spear with the “flat” part of the knife.

The light of the moves (abilities) is brittle and foggy from the tip of the short spear of erosion (Eclipse), where the skill ends incompletely.

Bernardo took a distance from Roberto and the others as he jumped backwards.

"- No, the attack was good now. I almost got hit.

I thought it was just lizards. I was alarmed. "

"Hung - you say every sprigan."

Roberto, insulted as a lizard (lizard), says back.

The three avant-gardes and Bernardo are glued together for a moment.

When I saw it, I raised my voice from behind.

"- Ceres, Roberto, let me keep it for a while!

"Okay."

"All right, sir, you can leave it to me."

They no longer need to explain what this instruction means.

With that voice, Grace quickly retreats. Celestia and Roberto confronted Bernardo to cover it.

I instruct Grace to step back and get inside the protective perimeter.

That quick, even if you get far enough, you could be attacked while chanting.

But it seems pretty tight for me, Sylvia, and Grace to fit into the junction to protect one person from the boulders.

"Sylvia, hold on tight so they don't start."

"Okay, but - what the hell, this situation -"

Hold on as Sylvia hugs me on the back.

I found her chunky chest pressed against my back.

Grace is already starting to chant as she confronts me at close range.

――――

Well, Bernardo and I staggered our gaze away.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Bernardo smiled for a moment.

What? - I have a bad “hunch”.

As I scratched off the hunch, I fired a light blade (light edge) from the spot to Bernardo.

Fast bullet speed light blade (light edge), but sometimes the distance to Bernardo is far away, which is avoided altogether.

Shortly afterwards, Bernardo turned to Roberto and launched an attack.

Roberto cleverly takes the attack of his right hand, using a spear. However, the attack on his left hand could not be brought to justice and he suffered a laceration around his flank.

Bernardo sets up a chase on Roberto, who is out of balance.

Celestia broke in there and took the attack with the shield of the Virgin (Shield of Lines).

Celestia fires more than one light bullet (starshell) in the same position.

Despite his proximity, Bernardo avoided it all. It's not half the reflex nerve.

Celestia is surprised by the boulder, but heals the roberto on her side with great healing (elder heel).

The recovery has halted Celestia's movements. Seeing that, I fired one demon bullet (magic ball) after another with the meaning of restraint.

But it's a slower demon bullet (magic ball) than a light blade (light edge). Bernardo smiled thinly and avoided it without difficulty.

The wave of attacks has stopped, and now Bernardo is attacked by Celestia.

The sight of an earlier attack was repeated.

Celestia prevented Bernardo from attacking his right hand, but is targeted for a gap in armor by a left-hand attack. Again from her right arm, bright red blood splashed.

"Kuh -!!"

Celestia tried to endure the pain, but the wound weakened her right hand grip, removing the Saint Maiden's sword (Jacqueline) from the spot.

- See you later.

Also, Bernardo looked this way.

Situationally, Celestia's on the run.

If you're going after her - even though you're on guard, you shouldn't have to look at me.

While I'm uncomfortable in my mind, I turn my hands to Grace after the chant.

My fingers sank into my warm, soft skin.

"Ah."

Grace, who felt my hand, gasps a little.

Then Sylvia, who noticed it, said a potpourri from the back.

"- I feel uninterrupted humiliation that a man I'm desperately embracing is doing something I don't like to other women -"
