Chapter 289 – Spear of Flash

000

“Aaaaa!!”

As Amelia eagerly swung her hammer away, clearing away the thunder lord’s charging minions.

Also, while Gray transforms into Hermes and Split Thought Mode, avoiding attacks with quick movements and disrupting the relationship between his followers and his.

Peruluca was running away from the goat that was chasing him without doing anything.

“The sword will do anything!”

As for the actual attack, Gray talks to Peruluca while leaving it to Amelia.

She cried and shook her head, but didn’t stop her legs from running away.

“It’s too much! You don’t even know how to use attack magic!!”

“What kind of wizard is that!!”

In front of Gray’s eyes, who were pouring out complaints, the greatswords wielded by the steel warriors swung vigorously.

“Wow…!”

Because it was moving quickly, inertia worked and the brakes did not apply properly. Gray’s body.

The moment she was cut off by the greatsword, her eyes her changed.

Thinking that the brass-colored flash had passed, the body of Hermes, which had been placed on Gray’s shoulder her, moved by itself and crashed into the torso of her great sword-wielding attendant.

“Hermes!”

[It was dangerous. You must properly grasp the surrounding situation.]

Thanks to Hermes’ momentary judgment, Gray was also safe, and her followers were struggling to get up after falling.

The danger was passed, but as if Hermes’ body was also shocked, a part of her face was distorted.

Gray carefully picks up Hermes and speaks with her sad face.

“Hermes has become ugly…”

[I have no feelings, but I understand that that is rude.]

When Hermes, who doesn’t speak very harshly, rarely uttered such a voice, Gray quickly ducked and dodged the attack that was aimed at her once more.

“Amelia! Are you okay!? I can still avoid this side somehow, but the sheep are no joke! If you think it’s dangerous, you better run away!”

Hehe… I don’t think I need to worry about him…”

She continued to run, and as Luca, Peru, who had somehow passed the enemy pursuing her to Amelia, drew closer, Gray watched as Amelia fought.

“Haha!”

When she wields a giant hammer, accompanied by her pleasant cheering tone to her.

The metal that touches it quickly freezes from there and freezes on the spot due to physical impact and the effect of freezing! It broke with a noise.

The performance of the hammer created by her queen is also her performance, but the way she freely handles weapons that are slightly taller than her own height her.

She also reminds us that she was a warrior who fought demons for people in the capital.

“But, no matter how many swords there are, we have to find a breakthrough somehow.”

Saying that, Gray looked around.

Somewhere, there must be a breakthrough.

Even in the midst of that, the guys who were aiming for Gray and Peruluca were gathering towards them one after another.

When she tried to avoid them, she couldn’t help but move her feet to her.

What came into Gray’s eyes was to surround and surround Amelia on the ground and attack it.

They were goats clad in steel armor that the gathered followers dismounted from the chariot and released.

No, it’s not a living creature, but a steel automaton that mimics an animal.

In other words, it was ‘automata’.

The guys were chasing Peruvian Luca and running excitedly, as if they were going to drive her horns into his ass her.

“…That’s it.”

“What!? What!? More than that, help me too!”

Just when she thought she had taken a break, the witch ran away from the goat that was relentlessly pursuing Peru Luca for some reason.

Gray’s eyes twinkled, and he merged with Hermes once more.

“Oohhh!”

Gray let out her cheers and ran toward Luca, Peru.

Peru Luca, who was running away from her, saw Gray running towards him in front of her.

“What, what!? Now, wait. Why are you coming from the front!?”

Even when she is frightened, she cannot stop her feet because of the goats chasing after her.

The next moment, what Gray was aiming for was Peruluca—

She was the goat that was at the forefront among the guys chasing after —.

It was because he was the biggest and seemed to be the quickest.

“Uhhhhh!”

Taking a great leap, covering the light of the sky, Gray jumped over Peruluca.

Then, she quickly climbed on top of the goat in the lead and rode it at the same time.

“Hermes!”

[Breaking begins.]

Riding on Gray’s body, Hermes’ ego inside her flowed into the goat.

After the light of the magic stone that replaced her eyes flickered and changed to a brass color.

It accelerated instantaneously, then took her Peruvian Luca in her mouth, mounted it on her own back, and soared into the sky.

“Ughahha! They’re flying in the sky! It’s amazing!”

“Ugh!”

Peruvian Lucado, after being surprised by her sudden body her floating her, saw the goat that had been chasing her soar into the sky and let out her screams.

“Uh, what did you do? These guys only listen to their master’s orders…!”

“Hermes has taken over this goat’s body! Amelia!”

Gray entrusted the movement of the goat to Hermes and called Amelia, who was surrounded on the ground and her physical strength her was gradually reaching its limit.

When Amelia also looked up at her Gray’s call her, she saw Gray looking down at her from there and became a surprised face.

“It’s a sword that doesn’t need to be dealt with one by one! It’s a sword that runs away once riding this!”

“Ah, yes, four!”

Amelia was taken aback by Gray’s words her, but first, she swung her hammer and hit her feet her.

Then, the elemental powers of her ice spread towards her surroundings her, creating a massive wall of ice between her and her foes her.

However, it was difficult to expect that wall to be maintained for a long time, thanks to Amelia’s non-attribute magic her.

When the timing is right, Amelia leaps toward Gray, who reaches out to her.

Widely! With a loud voice, they grabbed each other’s arms and climbed on top of the goat.

“Whew, whew…”

As Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, safely riding on the goat’s back, she heard the sound of the goat’s hooves running through the air behind her.

“As expected, the sword is chasing me!”

“Uh uh, what should I do? Guys, it looks like they’re trying to throw something in this direction…!”

When Peruluca’s expression turned pale, a voice flowed from the goat Hermes dwelled in.

[Analysis complete. Apparently, these objects seem to be under the control of the central system.]

If you think that the goat’s eyes sparkled at the same time he said that.

Suddenly, a loud noise is heard from the surroundings, and the goats running through the sky stop moving and fall to the ground.

It collided, tangled and shattered with the thunder lord’s brood that rode atop it.

Some exploded and caused damage to the surroundings.

“What, what!? It fell suddenly! Is it out of order!? Is Hermes not falling!?”

[Calm down. It briefly broke into the central system and stopped their movement. Although it was limited to a few seconds.]

“Awesome…!”

When Amelia responds to Hermes’ words, Gray nods her head.

“First of all, it’s a sword that gets out of here! It seems that there are still some people who are still moving after falling to the ground…”

It was then, urureung, thump. If you think that there was a huge thunderclap.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, something slowly emerged.

It was, indeed, a fortress built in the air.

Add this and that metal, add it. Another huge castle made of padding.

I don’t know what the principle is, but on the surface of it floating slowly in the sky.

Hundreds of hideous sacks were attached to it.

If this were to happen in reality, it would be possible to cripple the defenses of continental states in a matter of days if they wanted to.

“Hee, hee…! Valhalla!”

When Peruluca raised her voice like that, Amelia looked at the fortress nervously.

“… Is that mighty castle in the air… The Thunder Lord’s stronghold?”

“Yeah, that’s right… The thunder lord’s proud mobile fortress, capable of endlessly spawning the ones we just fought, turning anything into a wasteland with its torpedo cannon…”

Gray shook his head when he heard such a story, appreciating the look of the fort in disgust.

“It’s terrible… The design…”

“That’s not the point! Uh, what to do! If he showed up after noticing that we were fighting… Surely, wouldn’t that gun be pointing at us!?”

The moment after Peruluca said that.

I heard a harsh metallic sound that squeaks in my ears.

The cannons attached to the fortress all at once aimed at the goat possessed by Hermes.

“…”

Considering that the three girls were silent at the same time.

There was a flash of light, and smoke rose with a roar.

Then, a huge chunk of iron passed right next to the goat, and a huge explosion occurred on the ground.

“…Heh, Hermes!!”

[Hold tight]

When Gray let out a scream-like voice, Hermes instantly accelerated.

Drawing a heterogeneous orbit, Hermes rushes through the sky like a comet.

And the batteries of the fortress moving to hit Hermes.

Hermes opened his mouth in the midst of several loud noises and explosions from behind.

[Perluca, can you build a barrier with magic?]

“It’s possible, but I can’t learn systematic spells, so it’s just to the extent of making a wall with magic…! Besides, I wonder if that level of impact can be blocked…”

Peruluca answered in a voice without confidence, and Hermes continued.

[Okay. Blocking is not a shell. It’s the shock given to your body when you accelerate further.]

At Hermes’ words her, Peru Luca nodded her head while being bewildered, then spread her arms wide.

She spread a wall of magic around the bodies of the three.

“All right, all right!”

Hearing Peruluca’s voice, Hermes immediately started accelerating.

A rattling sound can be heard almost continuously, to the point where one sound seems to be in a long line.

Hermes’ legs turn red due to frictional heat.

“Uuuuu…!”

Gray held onto Hermes’ torso tightly so he wouldn’t fall, and let out a distressed voice at the situation where he couldn’t even breathe properly.

“Hold on, hold on…! Gray!”

On the other hand, Amelia seemed to be able to hold on a little, though she could speak.

Even she was speechless as if it was difficult to endure this murderous acceleration.

“Uweeeeek…”

And, there is one person who is regurgitating without saying anything.

It was fortunate that there was nothing to eat, otherwise it would have been even worse.

Hermes thought of the burden of those three people, and sprinted even a little faster—

——Just before his legs his melted away, he narrowly escaped the fort’s cannon range.

“Ha, ha… Ha…”

Gray, barely freed from the pressure that was weighing down his body his, took a deep breath.

Amelia let out a sigh as she leaned on her Gray’s back her with her weary face on her face.

Peruvian Luca vomits out what’s left of her as she drops her head towards the ground.

“Well, how can I get into a place like that… That queen…”

When Gray murmured a little tiredly, Amelia held her hammer in her hand as if she had lost her confidence.

“It’s impossible, it’s impossible… After all, if you get close to it, it will turn into powder…”

Peru Luca continued her words as if she had finally stopped vomiting.

“…But, we have to go. If there is a way to return to our world, then…”

“That’s true, but…”

Amelia somehow solidifies her resolve again.

And, it was Gray who agreed and nodded his head.

[For now, let’s move away a little more, they may be chasing.]

“That’s right. Everyone’s stamina seems to be at their limit, so it’s better to get away and rest-“

It was the next moment when Amelia, affirming Hermes’ words in her, nodded her head.

Something, an ominous sensation running through the hairs of your body.

The next moment she felt something like static run down her spine.

A large thunderbolt stalk flew from the fortress side and struck everyone in the party.

It was like an electric spear.

No, should I say pillars?

An intense electric shock engulfed Amelia, Gray, and Peruluca.

Originally, it wouldn’t be strange if the whole body was burned by it.

However, thanks to the divine protection that appeared from the Queen’s Hammer, her life was not lost.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Someone’s scream resounded, and Hermes’ body lost its buoyancy and fell to the ground.

Quickly, Hermes channeled all of his body’s remaining mana into shock defense, and the consciousness exited his body and returned to his original body.

The moment the three of them hit the ground, a huge impact rang out and dust rose.

“Laugh…Ahh…!”

Is it broken somewhere?

Gray and Peruluca lost their minds as they fell, but Amelia let out a moan of pain as she tried to get up on the spot somehow.

The next moment, someone metamorphosed and appeared in front of her.

It was a man wearing a blanket and a mask on his face.

“Iron… Mask…?”

Beyond that, the eyes of the pattern that could be seen through the open hole.

The moment she saw it, Amelia opened her eyes wide for a moment.

Soon, she lost her mind and collapsed in front of her.

The masked man put his hand on Amelia’s back her.

Just like when it appeared, it disappeared on the spot using teleportation magic.

But it wasn’t the only thing that disappeared.

Amelia, whom he touched, was also with him.

“Amel…Lea…”

When Gray barely came to his senses her, he raised her head to confirm that Amelia was gone.

With her face at the bottom of her minute, she stretched out her hand in that direction.

Soon after, she lost her mind again and collapsed.

In the place where the sand dust had calmed down, only silence remained.

001

Cleon and his party were speeding up their movement.

An explosion different from the sudden roar of thunder, and a flash of light that appeared across the sky a moment later.

Everything was announcing that a battle was taking place.

Two people could ride on Freya, and Sif’s body her was very light.

Cleon rode in front and Sif rode in the back, holding on to Cleon’s waist, and the two of them were advancing together.

Utgart clung to Sif’s back.

[Amazing, much faster than my flying speed]

“That’s right, of course… Don’t fall, it’s annoying to pick it up!”

Even as Sif gave Utgart a bruise, Cleon’s mind grew a little impatient, and his grip on the handle of Freya’s armor grew stronger without realizing it.

I wonder if Freya felt it too.

While running, a voice came from Freya’s side of her.

“…When the heart is in a hurry, there is hesitation in the sword and the string. A warrior like you would know.”

“…Yeah, I’m well aware of it. …Thank you for your concern.”

When Cleon answered, Freyja flinched at him, then let out a sigh.

“I’m not worried.”

“…Is it?”

Cleon laughed bitterly at her words, but Freya only speeded up her run a little.

Sooner or later, if you approach the place where you observed something falling.

There, he saw a tattered goat automata and two people lying down beside it.

One was a person I didn’t know at all, but the other was a person who knew Cleon well.

That’s right, it was Gray.

“Grey! Why are you here…!”

When Cleon got closer and examined Gray’s condition, she did not appear to have been broken except for minor scars on her body from the impact of the fall.

“There’s a human on this side too… This guy, the outfit is from that perverted side?”

[You are a slave to the Magic Tower. Are they survivors like us?]

Utgart examines the robe of such a girl, Peruluca.

Normally, I would have borrowed Quon’s recovery magic and healed her body.

In this disconnected world, it was impossible to borrow the power of imprints, and thanks to this, it was impossible to apply healing magic to Gray’s body.

But then, Freyja came closer and laid her hand on Gray’s.

“…”

Soon, the green energy spread as if dispersing, healing Gray’s body.

“Sss… Ugh…! Big, Leon…?”

“Grey! Are you okay?”

Gray spoke as he grabbed Cleon’s arm from her, who was worried about him.

“I’m sorry… I stole Amelia… The princess…”

“…!”

Cleon’s eyes widened at Gray’s words to her.

Gray soon frowned at him in anger, but his arms his trembled.

Soon, Gray closed his eyes again and his body his drooped.

“Gray!”

“…The wounds are smaller than I thought, so maybe, my stamina is exhausted.”

Freya put her hand on Cleon’s shoulder and walked to the other side this time.

And, realizing that it was the magic tower’s slave, Freya cast a recovery spell while frowning at him.

“… Oops…”

Then, Peruluca also opened her eyes.

As soon as she saw the giant centaur in front of her, she almost screamed ‘Kick!’

Sif quickly covered her mouth with his hand her.

“Calm down. We are comrades.”

[Okay. Comrades in the Great Rebellion.]

“Do, comrade…?’

Peru Luca shook her head as if she didn’t know what they were talking about.

And soon, when that gaze turns to Cleon, the moment their eyes meet.

There is a keying sound.

With a turquoise light in Peru Luca’s eyes, she jumped up from her seat.

Then she grins and opens her mouth.

“[I can’t believe it. I never thought I would really meet you.

Peruluca’s voice was overlaid with someone else’s voice.

It was a man’s voice.

“What are you? Do you know me?”

Cleon took her hand her to the sword at her waist her while being wary of her.

“[Oops, isn’t that sword a magic sword? Where is your sword?]”

“…Galatea didn’t come with me. The situation when he came over was a bit complicated.”

When Cleon answered like that, Peruluca showed a disappointed expression without hiding it.

“[Haa… Then it is. It’s not that easy.]”

“Rather than that, answer me. Who are you?”

Peru Luca made a sad face at Cleon’s question and sat down in her seat her.

Then she pulls out a large book from Peru Luca’s bag and puts something in her.

“[Crowley. The mightiest, greatest wizard in human history.]”
