『A ushed out haughtily, without any doubt that it was the superior existence
At the sa its arm while the whip of hell fire that branched and increased into more than ten rushed toward the lord frole one moved in a speed that was impossible to avoid by ordinary hu it
Zuban-, the sound of the lord's body getting mercilessly torn apart into little pieces resounded
Claudia almost raised her voice unconsciously She was about to let out avoice But, ether way there was no need for her to do that
Along with an anticliure of the lord that should have been ments vanished when they noticed In his place a black short sword――a kunai appeared midair
Then, where was the lord?
『Foolish』
「Not really, isn't that right?」
Instantly, the lord appeared behind the "shadow" Using substitute techniquekawarimi no jutsu, he switched location with one of the kunai that was deflected at the opening of the battle
But, the "shadow" instantly pinpointed the lord's position and in less than a thened and pierced without it even turning around
The lord got his storinned widely
The nextin the way that pierced that lord from his back
As expected, it seemed the "shadow" didn't expect at all that an attack that would pierce the attacker hiiving it any leeway to strike down the kunai
『Guh!? Iitation of the "shadow" could be felt Rather than getting surprised because it got hit, the cause of its surprise was
A part of the "shadoas vanishing like mist at the center where the kunai stabbed deeply The kunai was naturally in the state of scorching red
The clone body that got hit by the tail vanished froe At the sah the area behind it
It was unknown just how many branches of whip the "shadow" could produce Whip of hell fire that easily nued out the road of rubbles co were pulverized Buildings that got its bottoether Thunderous sound shook the world, and dusts were rising up
And then, a voice could be heard from nowhere
――Abyss-style Doton JutsuEarth Ninja ArtNaraku no KairouCome into my world of abyss (TN: Naraku no Kairou = Corridor of Naraka)
Immediately after,
「Kya!?」
A cute scream that didn't suit the hellish battlefield resounded
『You bastard-』
The "shadow" looked at its left arry voice, but it was already too late
The lord that slipperily appeared fro her frorin he displayed Abyss-style Kuuton JutsuAir Ninja Art "Bankage no KagerouThe abyss is always unevenly distributed"
The lord accohtly away place along with Claudia and the air around hied into the space teleportation was severed The attack that was immediately unleashed toward the lord also cut empty air in vain
The lord tossed away the ar her in princess carry
『The body that will give birth to me- You lowly huht?」
Thunderous sound
The moment the "shadow" turned its focus at the recovered Claudia, the lord's kick that was falling horizontally with freefalling speed hit the side of it
――Abyss-style TaijutsuMartial Art Kicking StyleJuutsui Engeki KyakuFall Into The Deep Darkness (TN: Heavy crash fla using gravity ic "Black Vortex", the ht by several ti enchanting type ic
It was a technique he only thought just now! Of course the na that I used for the first time But……the technique's name needs further consideration」
The "shadoas sent flying to crash into the building right beside it
The lord landed down step on the spot where the "shadoas standing on until just awasn't really fitting It see would be necessary
Founder Baltofelt! It would be his turn there!
「E, eh? Ah? To people? Different person? Bu, but the same……or rather, the power just now-」
Claudia-sareat shock! Her jade eyes were swirling on and on
It wasn't strange for her to be like that Even though the two people earing mask, but their appearance until their atmosphere were as alike as two peas in a pot
In addition frohtiness of the "shadow", her natural enemy, this person easily recovered her back from that "shadow", and in the end, he even bleay the "shadow" that should be cole kick Further into a building
In the end, the conclusion she forht, aah, the Lord's ht-hand er introduced hi of evil Claudia-sa, fro where the "shadow" crashed into, a roar that would shook anyone's sanity thundered At the sa It was a sight that looked like countless lasers sweeping through everything
Zuzuzu-, the building was starting to slip downdue to its oeight
「You must be confused but there is not tiht now stay quiet and let me save you!」
「Eh? A, ye, yes!」
Claudia's head nodded up and down honestly and quickly The lord fixed his hold on her and began to turn back through the path he caer!」」
A clone leaped forward in front of the lord and beca two clones appeared with pon- sound and charged toward the "lump of shadow and hell fire" that was visible at the other side of the destroyed building
Claudia opened her eyes wide saying 「Clo, clones!? It's the mystery of the eastern!?」 It seeeable about subculture Or perhaps, because of her position she knew a lot about the mystique side
He wanted to be spared froly that it was the latter
But, there, seeing the "shadow" that was increasing its pressure and repulsiveness, Claudia was taken aback and raised her voice
「Please wait! That thing-, the "key of holy cross"! We have to take it back!」
It see it back was an i hard and the little ahed at the same tin world Its toxic substance was gnawing at Claudia The lord didn't understand the how, but it seemed that Claudia wasn't affected like this while she was restrained by that "shadow", but daht after he took her back
It was clear that it was necessary to escape fron world even for a second faster
And then, it wasn't just Claudia Rather, different from Claudia as under a kind of protection, the lord was already under the effect of the bloody wind for quite soly inside his embrace and noticed that It was hard to notice because of the black ht now, a trickle of blood was flowing down slowly frolasses
Blood vomit, nosebleed, tears of blood Even he who showed up like a savior was also being gnawed by this environment that was har that mustn't be stolen no matter what Rather, even if Claudia had to throay her life, that was the only thing……
「No need to worry」
「Eh?」
Different froave the iue But,was directed toward Claudia
The lord slightly pulled closer his arm that was circled around Claudia's shoulder so she wouldn't fall and he turned his palm to face above
Claudia was pulled closer with a jerk and her face became pushed onto the lord's neck Because of her special position, she had no experience of getting ee Even while understanding that this wasn't the ti a beat
But, what happened right after that caused her to gulp even ers An accessory this beautiful doesn't match that kind of chap that look like shoddy picture, that hyin the lord's finger eht flashed on his palm From there, what appeared was exactly what Claudia asked to take back, a cross necklace that was endoith artistic beauty despite its antique feel――"the key of holy cross"
It seemed Aby-san somehow also snatched "the key of holy cross" when he dealt the kick The "shadoas enraged when Claudia was taken fro But despite that, what a quickness Certainly, the lord's sticky fingers was bad just as he personally stated
「I don't knohat is this "thing" but……if it's that iain next time okay?」
「Ye, yes- Thank you, very much」
Claudia slowly reached out and took the "key of holy cross" She put it around her neck and then grasped it tightly as though eratitude
And then, she looked up once「Just who in the world this person is?」
But, even that conversation was forced to coot destroyed One more time, I'll leave it to you okay, me!」
「It's more troublesome than expected but, just leave it to me, me」
The lord cursed, at the same time he summoned a clone Yes, one of the two clones that were left behind to hold back the "shadoas annihilated
Because he had already consuic power, he only put a little y, and he also in a state where he sealed the techniques that consuic power But for a clone to be annihilated in this short ti a shudder
There, the lord rushed into the stors rejoiced as though to say 「The prey returned!」 and rushed the lord
The ghoul-like things approached like a uard resolved to accept so short swords in both hands, discarded theic
「I have question, do you have a way to seal that mirror entrance?」
The lord's ic and threw all his kunais that wereto prevent the ene Claudia that
It was a sudden question, but Claudia nodded firmly
「This "key of holy cross" is for that」
「I see Even houl-like things attacked from the sky Kunais flew and shot theravity ic, and above all else, the long stay in this environ and revitalization that were continuously activated all along
His ic power had become lower than twenty percent
Unfortunately, both his hands were full The unceasing attack of the ghoul-like things, and the control of the clone bodies to hold back the "shadow" made him unable to spare the time to drink recovery inal world, Claudia would seal the gate He could recover hiht now speed was of the most importance It would be the lord's victory if he just arrived at the destination!
「Hahah, a carnage like this has been so long Not bad!」
The vanguard clone was crushed by nuhoul-like things rushing hi a clone at the sa fire ninja art and secured the escape route while turning the surrounding into quicksand using earth ninja art and made the enemies stumbled
For hirains of sand as foothold Against the countless ar toward hiravityby a paper's breadth
The eneainst the lord whose s tried to stop hi thick and dense wall of flesh at the front
The kunais floating midair formed circle for circle forun started to rotate clockwise in high speed They were even turning red hot They looked just like a ring of fire in circus
But, naturally, it wasn't soing
――Abyss-style Katon Futon Co deep darkness (TN: Firebird's Great Flight)
The ring of flame that fleard in rotation like a cannon ball s with the blades of flah speed rotation of the kunais thehoul-like things was created, the lord sprinted through it instnatly before the tunnel was plugged
「……A herself while watching in fascination Words of adht after that, Claudia noticed Gofuh, a scloser, the stain on the er than before It was clear that he was vo blood once more
Claudia was asha in the side that protect" And yet, she was si the person who saved her getting hurt!
「――The Lord consecrate those who saved O wicked people, know this What protects er of God」
「! This is……」
The lord, no, Claudia's surrounding was shined with jade colored light The jade light that was shining like a spherical barrier repelled or even exterht
「……I see, so this is the out-of-place feeling that I've been sensing all this tiht, you know about Tortus aren't you?」
「Tor, tus?」
The lord asked with surety, but the reply he got was a confused expression
But, that poas……the lord was going to ask further, but in an instant, his words stopped due to the vanishing of the clones that were tasked to hold back the "shadow"
Because his reic power had decreased until less than ten percent, he alic power and his attackhis short swords with ic power, so it could be said that it couldn't be helped
But, the presence of the "shadow" that ca hiht noasn't the time to satisfy his curiosity The priority was to definitely return to their original world!
The lord sed his question and in exchange he theatrically sighed 「fuh」 like usual
「Fuh, you've guts That helps」
「I will protect you I won't let even one of the like of low level deh her whole body was burned and the influence of the bloody as clearly weakening her, the light residing in Claudia's eyes was getting stronger instead
Seeing her deterer than usual
And then, he summoned two clones around him This tied in delta fors in one go
A severe and repulsive pressure approached fro endlessly nowhere their lives were at stake, however, the end finally caap of the swarate" could be seen The ghoul-like things were advancing in desperate frenzy, but they were turned into ashes one after another and got pushed back just barely
What caht that was like an aurora with the color of dead grass In a glance the swaying curtain of light looked unreliable, but that light that was deployed to cover the whole surface of the s at all
Furtherers, and the likes were flying out fro and exters one after another
「It see for your return huh?」
「Yes, it appears so」
The lord glanced at the teary Claudia and smiled wryly inside his heart
Just in case, the lord also stabbed kunais in the e and deployed a barrier (the type that could be penetrated fros from outside) to protect just the less for him to do that
「I'll ask just in case, but that aurora-like light, it's a type that will be okay even if we touch it right?」
「Yes, of course That's the "light of sacred destruction" that the chief used It's the light of protection that will destroy only the wicked It doesn't have any effect on huht into it like this!」
「Yes!」
A terrific roar thundered fro with frustration fro sure that its prey would definitely escape
Claudia looked behind froirl was also similarly frustrated She wondered just for what all the training she had accumulated until now Wasn't it for the sake of this day?
Although she was suppressed right fro because of betrayal, but for her to be forced to retreat helplessly like this……
She suppressed the negative feeling that was about to bloat up and shook her head Right now she had to survive And then, she had to give her all to not let the residences of this world to cross to the human world
However, soer!」
A whip of hell fire rushed like a laser, piercing through all the ghoul-like things in between
It was the last struggle of the "shadow" Even still, it was a strong threat
The clones at the lord's left and right immediately leaped to the back They lined up after each other in the whip's line of fire toward their main body
――Abyss-style Doton Futon Coon of dark abyss (TN: Dragon of the su on heaven)
One clone stabbed his short sword into the ground and the ground instantly protruded It struck the ghoul-like things around as though the ground was piercing the sky, at the same ti until the "ate"
The earth wall stopped the whip of hell fire on its track even if only for a few seconds
The as pulverized, and whip of hell fire that stretched like a spear pierced the clone, exter it
――Abyss-style Juuton JutsuGravity Ninja ArtNaraku no MashuBy my evil hand, sink, into the deep darkness (TN: Evil influence of Naraka)
A super gravity field was for whip of hell fire was falling toward the ground, as though it was being grasped by the hand of the devil that was crawling out froravity ic could only be activated for around two seconds, but it orth it to ic until the very end
The second clone was torn to pieces by the whip's overwhel until the "ate", they could see people wearing habit or cassock opening their eyes wide in surprise
「Kuh, co! My barrier won't be able to endure that attack without a sacred vessel!」
「It's enough if you just repel the rabble」
The last clone cut open the path forward
The whip of hell fire rushed Kousuke rotated with a twirl and perfor his kunais He deployed the barrier of space isolation
――Twenty h He bought enough distance!
「This is just a second-hand opinion, but according to the de around, then a dash with full power At the sauard also turned around When they passed each other, thewidely
