Chapter 309 Battle at the bridge

The first one to move was the 《Miracle Allied Army》.

On the【Dohas Bridge】zombified monsters began to flood the bridge from Crouche’s shadow.

Although these monsters do not feel any pain, the zombies have considerably less maneuverability.

Still, it can be used as to shave off the war potential of the opponent. Another use is to understand the strength of the soldiers.

「Go nya~! I give you all these soldiers for you to rampage. Go! Nya~!」

The opponent was using dead soldiers brought back by Avoros.

In other words, the other side was also using zombies.

The only difference is that a zombie soldier cannot stand up to the zombified monsters.

The 《Miracle Army》gradually advanced using the monsters as a vanguard force on the bridge.

In this way, they could penetrate into the Humas continent beyond the bridge and annihilate the opponent force at a stretch.

But the battle would obviously not go by one person’s plans.

A person who was draped in black suddenly jumps out from within a zombified soldier and onto the head of a monster.

While there were many monsters of varying strength, the one wearing the black clothes jumped onto an S cla.s.s Monster.

「N? That...… Black clothes nya. That Isn"t that good nya.」

Although the person seemed to be draped in black clothes with the symbol of 《Matar Deus》on the back, but they could not find the pattern which differentiated them into different positions.

Suddenly, the black-clothed person surprisingly bore into the body of the zombified monster.

As if being absorbed into the monster, there was nothing left behind. The monster soon stopped moving and then remained motionless for a while.

The next moment, the monster turned around and started to lash its tail at the monsters around it and continues to kick off the monsters away.

「Nya, whyyat thya heck is thyat!?」

Even Crouch was shocked at the sight of the spectacle that was happening in front of him.

This was natural since a zombified monster suddenly betrayed them and started to attack.

「It cyan"t be helpyed! Everyone sypress that monster!」[TL: Just imagine whatever Crouch speaks to have a nya nya words in it like a cat]

In response to Crouch"s words, the other monsters changed their target from the zombiefied soldiers, and concentrated on the monster which was acting violently on the bridge.

However, it was an S ranked monster called Gigantos with a ma.s.sive figure.

It blew away the approaching monsters with its powerful strength.

But among the other monsters there were also monsters with S rank strength.

Gigantos body was gradually filled with wounds form getting attacked and slowly its movements grew dull.

Finally, when a monster was about to bite of its head, a small shadow like figure shot out from its head with a *Hyun*

Gigantos stoped moving and fell to the ground.

When the black clothed man appeared form the inside Gigantos and landed on the ground, the person once again jumped onto a different monster’s head and immediately gets sucked into it and disappears.

Then the monster turned around and started attack the monsters around.

「Uuu~whyat is that thing nya~」

Crouch starts to hold his head being unable to find the correct answer to the question in front of him.

「Crouch-dono! That black clothes person is probably a user of the 『Possession Magic』!」

Halvrid had found the answer.

「What magic you said nya?」

「It is a unique magic which takes possession of someones body with you"re body. After taking over one could manipulate the others body as if it was their own.」

「Unique magic!?」

「In the past, the one who was in possession of this magic was【Nigg Borusu】, who in the past used the King of 【Victorias】and lead a tyranny on the people and finally got executed.」

Nigg Borusu

If you hear his name, the blood of the royal family of Victorias would make their liver turn cold and was synonymous with a symbol of fear.

A long time ago, Nigg took advantage of that strange magic, and took over the kings body and indulged himself completely with all his selfish acts.

He forced enormous taxes onto the people, and demanded women as tribute every week.

But such tyranny was bound to end soon.

The surrounding people of the king secretly began to investigate the king wondering why the king changed so much.

The magic of Nigg could be continuously used only for an hour which was the limit, and when used longer the person would be ejected out of the body.

The person who continued to secretly watch over soon became aware of this when Nigg came out of the kings body.

This soon provided that Nigg was the one manipulating the king.

They succeeded in immediately catching Nigg and successfully executed him. But, regaining the trust of the people in the imperial family was not an easy task

People rioted, soldiers and n.o.bles betrayed them and all this had to be suppressed. An absolute feeling of helplessness was carved into everyone.

The scratch left by Nigg, it was like a poison which had damaged the country deeply for a long time.

「Anyhow, please make sure not to be touched by that person in any way!」

「Even if you tell me that nya, expecting the monsters and man to be able to avoid that is not quite easy nya!」

As Crouch said, the monster which were moving slowly due to being zombified could not keep up with the speed of moving Nigg.

「Nya~, As I thought unique is a pain in the as* nya!」

「For now it is better to take back the monsters into the shadows.

If that person jumped into an SS ranked monster that would be really troublesome.」

As Halvrid said, if such a thing were to happen, the other monsters would be immediately be swept away.

「Even though I prepared the monsters with such effort~nya!」

Crouch started to spread the shadow from his feet, the monsters slowly get absorbed by it.

The monsters which was being used as a weapon against the zombie soldiers was now unusable due to the presence of Nigg.

「Anyhow, let"s quickly get rid of the nasty Nigg! Information mentioned that he has low fighting potential」

「Thyen, who will go ahead nya?」

「Io..… Are you going?」

The one who appeared there was another captain Ionis.

She was the one who fought against Muir using double Yo-Yo"s in her hand.

Chapter 309 Battle at the bridge (part 2 of 2)

「Can I leave this to you Ionis?」

「Leave this me nana~.

We cannot hand over this bridge.」

And so, Ionis headed towards the monster that was possessed by Nigg which was still running rampant.

「Come to think of it Nyaa, that child also was a user of unique magic right? nya」

「That is correct.

If Ionis is the one, then Nigg will not be an opponent.

Crouch, let us tidy up the remaining soldiers with this opening and capture this bridge!

「I understand nya!」

Leaving Nigg to Ionis, the two decided to take the troops and cross the bridge.

Meanwhile on the 『Bridge of Mutich』the battle had already started.

Again, the trouble was the that the zombie soldiers were not afraid of death.

Each soldiers power in the 《Miracle Army》was at the top, but a soldier who kept attacking while not caring if being cut, stabbed, toppled, or even having their arms and legs lopped off was troublesome.

However there was unexpected a good fortune.

That was.......

「「Holy Circle!」」

The two voices overlapped, and magic circles started to s.h.i.+ne at the feet of the zombie soldiers.

Dazzling lights poured out from the magic circle, wrapping around the zombie soldiers.

The moment the light fell on the zombies, their bodies crumbled into dust.

「Not bad~, Shuri, s.h.i.+n.o.bu!」

Shublarz sends a voice of praise at Shuri and s.h.i.+n.o.bu who were the ones who brought about this spectacle.

「All I can use is light magic after all!」

「Yes, but still as expected zombie-sans are weak against light magic!」

「That"s right, it"s similar to the games!」

Honestly, even Shublarz was worried and somewhat uneasy about their strengths and if they could be able to contribute to the war potential.

Having known about their battle style which as mainly as rear support.

Needless to say, it was quite the useful ability. But, they were expecting for figures who could stand up and fight the enemies at the front line from ones who had subordinates.

Even though they did not have high hopes for them, and were about to give up, they could not hide their surprise when they began to use light magic stunning everyone. They were able to use light magic and completely annihilate the enemies.

Although light magic was indeed powerful, everyone had a.s.sumed that it could only be used to 『Spirit Summon Familiars』which was of the church and was otherwise deemed unusable. [TL: So basically light magic was secret arts of the church used to summon familiars with no practical use of attacking according to context.]

Within the 『Demon Evila』not even one of them could use it.

They had misunderstood the power of the heroes who could use this magic.

Zombie soldiers were created from dead soldiers by Avoros.

Light was the weakness of darkness which could be understood, but it was a miscalculation that it could so effective.

「This is fine~ everyone escort the two people!」

Shublarz spoke to rise the soldiers morale with her shouts.

But, a person who wore black clothes promptly emerged from the zombie"s side and got ready to fight with them similarly like the one from the『Bridge of Dohas 』.

The two thought that the light magic would be similarly effective on the person in black clothes and create a magic circle at the feet of the person....but soon the magic circle at the feet of the person turned black.

「「What!?」」

They were surprised at the same time.

The zombie soldiers who were also in the magic circle suddenly started to scream and their bodies underwent some great changes.

It looked as if they had became stronger.

As proof, several soldiers of the 《Miracle Army》were blown away by the zombie soldiers.

Even though they stood on opposite side until now.

「Ku! Let"s do this again Shuri~chi!」

「Wa, Yes!」

The two once again use the Holy Circle towards the zombie soldiers, but when the black clothed person’s feet touched the circle, it turned black again.

and the power of the zombies in turn rose.

「The two of you, get back right now!」

With the orders of Shublarz, Shuri and s.h.i.+n.o.bu retreated back while watching the black clothed person.

「Wh, what is that? The magic we use suddenly become weird and strange!」

s.h.i.+n.o.bu had a feeling of frustration from her expressions.

「......There is no other choice but to verify.

Hey you over there, use you"re magic over there would you?」

When Shublarz asked a soldier who was in the vicinity, the soldier uses a spell called flame blade and shot it.

The flame blade went straight towards the person in black clothes but when the person put his hands on the flame, the flame slowly changed from red, to black, then to murky black.

Although the black clothed person was holding the black ball, the person stood there without any signs of damage on the person.

Rather the black clothed person"s magical power seems to have increased.

「.......As I thought, it was like that~」

「Ccaptain what do we do know ?」

s.h.i.+n.o.bu asked with a frown.

「Eeh, that person is probably 『Degeneration Magic: Change Magic』」

「..… What is that magic?」

When Shuri asked the question, Shublarz made a bitter face.

「A unique magic that can change the attribute of magic within a certain range to any kind that the person so desires.」

「Haa!? It"s that kind of a thing!?」

The surprise of s.h.i.+n.o.bu was understandable.

If such a magic was ones opponent, whatever strong magic one used would immediately be turned into whatever magic the opponent so desires.

No, not only the change in nature of magic, but there was also the property of being able to raise the power of a person depending on the type of attribute.

The reason that the zombies had suddenly gained strength was due to the actions of the black clothed person, it changed the attribute of the magic into the dark attribute and then absorbed that magic and powered up the zombies.

「Wha, what are we to do then? Who can be the opponent of that person?」

「There is no choice but to defeat the person without using magic ne~」

However, Shuri"s expression turned dull.

Although she could not tell how strong the person in black clothes was, she knew that she was not very confident in fighting this war without using magic.

Looking at these two, Shublarz floated a smile and laughed.

「 It will be fine~ yo.

Because after this fellow is defeated, you shall have a very active part to play again」

「Ccaptain.....」

「So therefore, preserve you"re power.

Now then, you heard what happened right, Rushbelle?」

When Shublarz speak towards her back, a large man appeared from among the soldiers.

It was Rushbelle 《Head Commander of the Demon Army》who was wearing plenty of Armor and equipment.

「Ha! I will take care of that person.」

「Ee, but that person was a user of the 《Degeneration Magic: Change Magic》. If I remember correctly it was 200 years ago and was used by a person from the 『Wota Tribe』. Be careful as that tribe seems to be one which is really good at close combat.」

「Acknowledged」

Rushbelle stood face to face with the black clothed person alone.

「The two of you are going to take down those zombie soldiers while Rushbelle takes on that black clothed person~」

「「Yes!」」
