Chapter 914 – Demonic Beast March

000

“Ladies and gentlemen! I’ve waited a long time! The last performance presented by our fairy theater troupe! This is the appearance of a troupe of demonic beasts led by Dandelion, who are also our heroes!”

The voice of the fairy in charge of the proceedings was heard as she flew under the tent and to the highest point with the wings on her back, and used magic to make her voice louder.

At the same time, the demon beasts and their partner trainers run out into the wide-open tent as if they had been waiting.

When the audience’s cheers rang out loud, each person started performing their own performance, trying to entertain the audience.

＂Wow!＂

“Look! It’s Tohen!”

“It’s Sleipnir!”

An eight-legged horse gallops quickly in front of the audience.

Every time the hoof touches the ground, a lightning mark is created on the spot, and it runs majestically in front of the audience as if it were the favorite horse of a triumphal general.

Suddenly, I could see the lightning stopping in the air instead of on the ground.

Right away, the horse started running in the sky, not on the ground.

Colorful, shining lightning explodes in the air, dazzling and dazzling the audience.

On top of that horse was Tohen, the leader of the trainers and Dandelion’s lieutenant.

The special horse he rode, called Sleipnir, had legs twice the size of a normal horse and had the power to run freely through the sky.

In addition, it had the ability to generate intense lightning wherever its feet touched, making it a special being with high combat capabilities.

However, as much as his special ability, his temperament is also very rough, and only a small percentage of people allow him to sit on his saddle-

Dandelion, who overpowered Sleipnir from the front to capture him, and Tohen, who manages his life. There are only two people.

Even the Fairy Queen said that in order to ride Sleipnir, Tohen and Dandelion must be next to her, so we could clearly see the height of her pride.

As if to prove it, there was a ‘necklace’ around Sleipnir’s neck that was different in form from the one he had put on the fox earlier, but had the same function.

If that were to come off, even if Tohen or Dandelion were present, there was a high possibility that lightning would fall from its hoof towards the audience.

The demonic beast, in the form of a large two-headed hunting dog, spewed fire from its mouth, instantly burning the scarecrow before his eyes.

A cat with huge wings was sitting on all fours, showing the audience in front of it the illusion of a meteor shower with stars exploding.

A huge bird with seven-colored feathers was sitting on an artificial rock, singing with a beautiful, human-like voice.

A spectacular performance that will make the audience lose their minds, utilizing their unique characteristics.

Indeed, Cleon himself seemed to know well why the most popular circus performances were those using magic beasts.

However…

Not only Sleipnir, but all the other trainers performing around him were wearing the same necklace.

In other words, these demonic beasts have not all surrendered, but have simply lost their aggression and become a spectacle in front of people.

What Tohen said was stuck in Cleon’s mind and would not easily leave, because he could not feel any fear of the demon beast amidst the cheers of the audience.

Cleon couldn’t help but feel that the trainer who whipped the demon beast in front of Cleon was a better type.

The reason he felt fear or tried to run away when he saw Vuvre was probably because he was a demonic beast he encountered without a necklace.

For these people, the perception that the circus’ demonic beasts were beings that had already broken their teeth and could not be resisted.

And because the trainers knew that, they were able to encourage people to watch the performance from such a close location.

The necklace was truly the minimum necessary safety device.

＂I guess I can only hope that there won’t be any problems with the necklace. ＂

Even though Cleon thinks he is too worried, he mutters that.

More than anything else, the delay in starting the performance may have been a bigger problem than other trainers and horsemen because of that worry.

In order to meet the king, it was necessary to stand out more than anyone else.

Cleon looked down at the fox while thinking so.

＂Shall we start too?＂

＂Kang!＂

At Cleon’s words, the fox nods his head as if he understands.

The fox swung his tail once, and several wisps of fire appeared around him.

There was no communication between the two, and there was no time to coordinate in advance what exactly the performance should be.

However, Cleon only expected her to read his intentions.

The next moment, her beautiful flame flew high into the sky.

Other demonic beasts were already flying in the sky, and while avoiding them, the fox’s wisps climbed to the highest point of the tent, drawing a spiral in the air and rising into the sky, drawing the attention of the audience that had been directed at the other demonic beasts towards itself. It was.

＂Oooooh!＂

And then, the goblin fire arrived right in front of the fairy who was in charge of hosting the performance.

Naturally, the host, who was caught off guard, would have been startled, saw the ghostly fire, and shouted in that loud voice.

Thanks to this, the eyes of the audience, who were concentrating on other demon beasts on the ground, also turned to the host.

Naturally, attention was focused on the magic beast I was seeing for the first time and the technique I was seeing for the first time.

＂That’s a magical beast you’ve never seen before?’

＂It looks like the girl next to her is also human… There are five human guests today!＂

And, the fact that he was a human and the fact that he was a demon beast they had never seen before had enough status to attract people’s attention.

Cleon raised the corners of his mouth, thanked the fox for naturally focusing his attention, and created an arrow made of magic in his hand.

Originally, I wanted to make a bow as well, but-

＇As expected, it is a bit difficult to form substances using magic power in this body. ＇

Sasha’s body had not been trained to control magical power with such precision.

However, if you use a little more magic power, you can fire arrows made of magic power even without a bow.

When Cleon’s hand swung, the magic arrow that floated beside him flew high into the sky.

Then, it passed through the flames created by the fox, and while engulfed in the flames, it broke its trajectory and rose up, crashing into the ceiling of the tent.

＂Wait!＂

＂If a burning arrow catches the tent…!＂

The audience lets out what sounds like screams, and the other staff members look up at the sky with surprised expressions.

However, it was not clear whether the flame attached to the arrow made by Cleon was completely manipulated by the fox, or whether it was of that nature from the beginning.

It did not transfer to the tent, but stayed on the bridge and burned quietly.

The next moment, Cleon does not stand still, but runs out with the fox and begins to circle right next to the seats where the audience is sitting.

He himself is not an acrobat, nor does he have any skills to charm people.

Therefore, the method chosen by Cleon, who was thinking only about what he should do to stand out from other trainers in the performance, was

As soon as. He decided to show the most heart-pounding sight he knew as a large picture in front of the audience.

The eyes of the fairies in the audience are focused on Cleon, who runs in front of them, and follow his movements.

The fox continued to shoot the fox fire, which was paint, towards the ceiling.

Cleon used the magic arrow he created to pass through the fox fire and embroidered it on the ceiling of the tent.

As the arrows continued to be pierced, as if creating a constellation, the audience watching could tell that Cleon was trying to express something with the arrows.

When an arrow is pierced into the ceiling, the flames contained in the arrow connect to each other to create a line.

Because the tent was large enough to accommodate thousands of people, there was no need to worry about not having enough space to draw.

One turn, two turns, each time Cleon’s foot and the fox’s flame moved, the picture was slowly being completed.

During Cleon’s performance, which used the ceiling of the tent as a drawing board, the other staff members had no choice but to stop working their magic and look up at the ceiling.

Of course, some people were worried that Cleon’s stunt would cause the ceiling to burn.

It didn’t take as long as I thought to complete the painting.

A picture made with magic was no different from a picture created in one’s mind than a picture drawn by hand.

A flame shining in turquoise.

The thing painted on the ceiling of the tent was a huge dragon.

A dragon that spreads its wings and unleashes a storm of breath at the enemy in front of it.

And, what stands in the dragon’s way is a girl who bravely fights with a shining sword.

“You know… Isn’t that the legendary warrior?”

“They came 300 years ago and saved Fairy Village from a crisis together with His Majesty the Fairy King…?”

“I think that’s right! After that, I heard that he returned to the human world and saved the human world as well!”

Cleon’s favorite legend, and a story that brought hope to countless people.

The dragon of the empire, the hero of the holy sword.

It didn’t end here.

This painting is not still, it is moving.

Of course, what Cleon used to paint were arrows and flames made of magic.

It wouldn’t have been possible with Sasha’s magical arrows alone, and it wouldn’t have been possible to capture the image with just the fox fire.

If the magical powers of two people are mixed, it may be difficult to control it, but it is not impossible.

Cleon stretches his hands toward the sky and slowly waves his hands, changing the form of his magic power.

Then, the dragon flapped its wings and rushed towards Hero Lesia.

It sounded like the audience was holding their breath.

And the next moment – Hero Resia jumped high and swung the brilliantly shining holy sword down –

It was to depict a scene of cutting off the horns of a huge dragon.

Next moment-

‘Roaring!’

And the sound of thunder sounded at the right time.

It reminded me of the roar of her dragon, or the sound of the ground shaking as she fell.

However, it was not directed by Cleon.

When I looked up at the sky and turned my gaze, Tohen, who had been sitting on Sleipnir and looking at the ceiling, pulled Sleipnir’s reins and kicked the air with his hoof in place.

Thanks to the sound made when lightning strikes, Cleon’s painting became more complete.

When Cleon nodded slightly as a sign of gratitude, Tohen also smiled and gave him a thumbs up, as if he had done well.

The audience’s applause rings out along with cheers.

The performance using demonic beasts was so strong that it could be said that it was completely taken over by Cleon. There was no one that stood out more than him.

Thanks to this, Cleon was also able to relax for an hour.

Sighing, he looked down at the fox who believed in him and lent him his strength.

“… Thank you, it’s all thanks to you.”

As she said that, it was at that moment that she tried to stroke her head.

Paching…

And then a sharp sound was heard.

It was heard from the fox’s throat – and it was also heard from the throats of all the other demon beasts around at the same time.

＂-What…＂

Cleon could not help but let out a shocked voice.

However, it would have been in a much better condition than other staff members who couldn’t even raise their voices.

Tuk, tuk. When you hear the sound-

The necklace hanging around the neck of the ‘demon beasts’ simultaneously lost its strength and fell to the ground.

＂Eh…?＂

The very moment I thought I heard someone’s draining voice.

＂Ugh…!＂

Hearing a struggling voice from the sky was like the beginning.

＂—–!!＂

The sound of thunder and lightning echoed loudly inside the tent.

Sleipnir, who was carrying Tohen, was about to unleash her suppressed aggression and run towards the people when her collar was released, but Tohen was somehow holding the reins and trying to turn her head. 〉

And-

＂Kyaaaaa! “The necklace of demonic beasts!?”

＂Everyone run away!!!＂

A scream rang out, and the audience stood up on the spot.

Of course, it was to escape from the demonic beasts.

When the demon beasts were freed from the necklace, what they did was attack the staff who had made them a spectacle just moments before.

The two-headed dog was breathing fire and threatening the staff.

The huge winged cat lifted the staff with its tail, swung it around, and threw it against the wall.

The performance venue, which had been full of emotion and joy just a moment ago, suddenly changed into a completely different appearance.

＂What the hell is this…＂

Cleon couldn’t figure out why the necklace suddenly lost its power or why it was destroyed.

And Cleon said ‘Hot’ and looked down at his feet.

Then, there the fox was standing on all fours, the fur all over his body standing on end.

It is directed at the demonic beast that attacks other fairies around it.

“… Are you okay… No, you never attacked fairies or people to begin with.”

Although Cleon feels relieved by her actions, he focuses his attention on calming down her urgent mind.

I had to somehow subdue the demon beasts before the other fairies suffered any more damage.

＂Mr. Cleon!＂

The next moment, a voice was heard from the entrance of the tent.

There, other party members had rushed out without even changing their clothes.

“What happened!? Why are the demonic beasts…”

The moment Amelia said that and was about to come towards her, a giant scorpion-shaped demon that was rampaging next to her was about to attack her.

＂Haaa!＂

However, the one who stopped it was Laila, who created a strong gust of wind with Kuon’s body and blew away her scorpion.

“The necklace has been removed… Someone must have tricked it into happening!”

And at that moment, she raised her voice as if checking the presence or absence of her scorpion necklace.

＂… This is no longer a matter of performance… ＂

Cuon muttered quietly, and Cleon nodded her head as well.

“Ah… Everyone! First, suppress the demonic beasts! Protecting the fairies is an urgent priority!”

＂Yes!＂

At Cleon’s voice, Sasha nodded her head.

There were many demonic beasts that had to be suppressed, but now was the time to place more importance on ‘action’ than ‘odds of victory.’

And, quietly watching their actions

There was a tin eye.
