Chapter 302: Hindrance

"Kyaa"

A courtesan in the Udon royal palace let out a small scream and hurriedly pressed her mouth with her hand. While dyeing her face bright red, she follows the back of one of Udon five knights, 『Sky Soaring Sword』 Glyfred, who pa.s.sed by, but another courtesan is screaming in the same way.

"Stop right there"

"Oya? This is s.h.i.t――prime minister, how may I help you?"

Glyfred has an irreverent att.i.tude in front of b.a.l.l.s, who is Udon Kingdom"s prime minister, without bowing his head.

"If you say that much, say it"

"Hahahaa. No matter how much the same Udon Five Knights, isn"t b.a.l.l.s-dono the prime minister? I can make that much distinction"

Glyfred talks to b.a.l.l.s without looking at him, standing on one leg and posing with his arms outstretched, like a bird flapping its wings.

"Distinction......I"m surprised. I didn"t expect the word distinction to come out of your mouth"

Like Glyfred, b.a.l.l.s speaks with his eyes turned away so as not to make eye contact. The sight of each other talking without looking at each other would have seemed strange when viewed from the side.

It"s unusual for the unfriendly Prime Minister to be surprised. Then I"m with this――"

Glyfred tried to pa.s.s by b.a.l.l.s, but a barrier blocked his path.

"What is this action?"

"Where are you going?"

"Isn"t it decided? I"m going to say h.e.l.lo to my beloved Majesty. Is that a problem?"

"Yes, there is a big problem"

"Where am I having a problem?"

b.a.l.l.s seemed frustrated by Glyfred, who spoke while deciding each pose.

"Do you understand why you were recalled from the border between Udon Kingdom and Set Republic?"

"Hahaa. Prime Minister, are you insane?"

"Just answer the question"

Glyfred shook his head, 「Oh dear」, holding his hand on his forehead.

"To protect His Majesty"

"You should say the royal capital, but that"s okay. Then explain why you, who should have been recalled to protect your Majesty, are naked in the royal palace without even wearing clothes, let alone armor"

Although not harsh, b.a.l.l.s" words were very unpleasant. However, Glyfred, on the other hand, sighs exaggeratedly, lowering his shoulders, as if to say unbelievable.

"It"s because I took a hot bath. Isn"t it natural to purify yourself since you are going to be received by His Majesty? If you can"t understand such a thing, how can you serve as the Prime Minister in charge of the administration of the Udon Kingdom? If you want, I can inform His Majesty about it. Then I"ll be going now――"

"Wait"

"You always get in my way............you old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Why is the Prime Minister interfering with my relationship!"

"It"s because you"re one of Udon five knights and you"re trying to do something unknightly to his Majesty"

"I......I just want to poke His Majesty!"

Glyfred"s words let the courtesans who were listening scream.

"How terrifying"

b.a.l.l.s utters without trying to hide his disgust anymore.

"What"s the problem now? It"s discrimination against me who loves the race with His Majesty regardless of gender"

"Who loves each other! That"s why I advised His Majesty to bring back Vuvain, not you!"

Vuvain is a knight who has the nickname, 『Royal Castle Wall』and one of Udon five knights.

"Vuvain? Excuse me. He"s not suitable for protecting your Majesty"s side, such as a man with a wide range. I am beautiful, strong and most importantly, I love His Majesty"

b.a.l.l.s blocks Glyfred, who enthusiastically talks while hugging his body, out of his sight.

"Apparently that corruption is the only thing you can understand, even with an old head. Then I"m your Majesty――"

"I can"t let you through"

"Enough, please. I have a limit to my patience"

"When did you have patience? Your existence itself is unpleasant, but until now you have only given warmth to help defend the Udon Kingdom. Now that I know your evil plot, it is in the best interest of his Majesty and the Udon Kingdom to eliminate you"

"We are kindred spirits. I was also thinking that the stubborn old man who interferes with other people"s love lives should disappear"

"You think a naked pervert can beat me?"

"An old man"s jealousy is ugly"

When b.a.l.l.s releases his magic power, a huge amount of magic power runs around the royal palace. In the raging magic wind, Glyfred stands calmly without fluttering. His only fluttering is his long golden hair and hips.

"That"s serious. Call the Imperial guards!"

"Immediately!"

The courtesans who were watching the situation hurriedly went to call the Imperial guards.

-------------------------------------------------------

It was a shocking sight. She has fought against many enemies with Yuu. Some of them were formidable monsters and unimaginable opponents. Not only her, but also Russ, Momo and Yuu himself were seriously injured and they were prepared to die many times. The body may give up unknowingly in the face of fear and despair――but the scene that was taking place in front of her was a completely different and foreign thing. Yuu, who was adored like a biological parent, was a.s.saulted and crucifixed. To the good of Yuu"s immobility, many knights used relentless violence. Everyone"s eyes were cloudy, their habits were glaring and dangerous and their faces were dyed crazy. Namari escaped from the scene because of the depth of the work that people have. And there she heard Barash instructing them to withdraw.

"I"m not going to............let that happen"

Namari couldn"t forgive them. That"s why she decided to chase the Holy Knights who did this to Yuu, without consulting anyone. She"ll kill them all by herself.

"A, Absolutely......un, unforgiveable......igaa......gahuu"

Namari, who was ahead of the game, releases her power without Yuu"s permission. Of the ten monsters, Hachi, who has a strong grudge against the Holy Country Jardalk, actively offers cooperation. Next, there are five warlike monsters, three monsters who are neutral and have a grudge against Yuu who killed them and Nana who prepared to control the monsters who are proud of enormous power opposes, but Namari and other monsters are overwhelmed by murderous intent and Nana is deprived of control.

"What is this monster!? Where did it come from!!"

Suddenly, the giant monster that appeared in front of them completely stopped the legs of Jardalk´s Holy Knights, who had retreated without looking back. The appearance of Namari was greatly transformed by the six monsters. The transformation was not limited to the exoskeleton, but extended from the endoskeleton to the entire skeleton. She has grown to a height of five meters and is still growing. Her arms and legs are sharp like sharp blades and when touched, human skin is likely to be easily torn. The two sheep-like weapons that are characteristic of the demons are also large enough to fit the skeleton, making them even more terrifying. It barely retains the prototype of a person, but there are no fragments such as the original adorable human figure.

"How dare you, Captain Cesar!!"

It was César"s subordinate. A fierce knight throws a sword at Namari"s right foot. One of the standards when fighting a huge monster, he was going to cut it from the feet first. However――the knight disappeared before the blade touched Namari. He touched Namari"s right arm, which she shook casually and erased him. As if to show that, only the knight"s ankles were left on the ground.

"Mo............monster. Let"s team up and defeat it!"

"Ouu!!"

In the blink of an eye, you can see about a thousand knights forming a formation in front of Namari. However, Namari looks back without paying attention to such people. She saw knights pa.s.sing by and retreating.

"Ni, Nini, I won"t let you escape......"

She spread her hands wide and clapped her hands. In the moment―― the earth exploded. The knights and the earth disappeared in a fan shape, as if the open fan had been closed. After confirming that none of them had escaped, Namari turned around. Originally, they should have attacked Namari, who had shown her back, all at once. However, the knights were unable to move or even speak in the face of the unreasonable violence. They´re not sure what to do, but they"re going to do something.

"It"s coming! Get ready!"

Heavy cavalry hold shields all at once and increase their defense with 『Combat』 and shield techniques. In addition, the formation strengthens the defense of the ma.s.s of heavy cavalry. Namari fired her fist at the group. Namari"s body, which is gradually growing, is already over seven meters. The moment she released her fist, the giant body swung so quickly that her upper body had disappeared.

"Wh, What......gebuu!?"

The man who tried to talk to a colleague next to him, 「What happened」 said the colleague who was supposed to be there. Surprised by the disappearance of the knights who were supposed to be on the line where Namari"s fist was sticking out, let alone his colleague, he opened his eyes. Further later, a roaring sound engulfed the remaining knights and blew them away.

"Barash-sama, what the h.e.l.l is this......what"s happening!?"

Barash"s servant, the young man, is in a battle in front of him――no, not a battle. This was not something that could be called a battle. Every time Namari wields her fist, the Holy Knights, who enforce justice in the name of the G.o.ddess of Light, Irigamit, as if the knights, known for being one of the most powerful on the Raem continent, are crushed and shattered like sugar confectionery which is fragile. Innumerable knights are scattered in the ground that has been scooped out by Namari"s fist pressure. It was no longer about Yuu――capturing the Demon King. If nothing is done, it is a threat that even predicts the destruction of humankind.

"I don"t know......I don"t know! I haven"t heard of such a story, such as the Demon King taming such a monster!"

While staring at the overrun Jardalk Holy Knights half-blindly, Barash shouted in a voice that sounded like a sad cry.

"It seems to be some trouble"

"Who is it!!"

The young servant comes out in front of Barash and pulls out his sword. This person easily slipped through the guard network of the strict heavy cavalry.

"O, Oo......! You are!"

In this predicament, Barash knelt on the ground and bowed his head, as if G.o.d had descended in front of him. His appearance was clearly visible even in the dark. A man in his forties, wearing a brilliant white cane and robe, was floating in the air and looking down at Barash.

"Doll-sama!?"

Following Barash, others all knelt down and bowed. Barash, the vice leader of the Holy Knights and even his elite knights pay deep respect. That was the existence of『Two Holy Saint』 Doll Foddo.

"I"d like to ask why you"re in a place like this, but that"s not the case right now"

Doll says nothing and pulls his chin slightly.

"This is also the guidance of the G.o.ddess of light, Irigamit. I would like to ask for your help without asking anything!"

Although it was a terrifying Doll"s complexion, it was not possible to see any emotions from the golden eyes called the Holy Eyes in the Holy Country Jardalk. On such a battlefield, Doll calms down as if he were taking a walk. While he is floating in the air, Doll shakes his cane lightly. Then, the dazzling particles of light illuminate the whole area. Countless particles of light fly between Barash and his men. Eventually, the particles of light gather together so that they are close to each other, from which a knight of light is created.

"This is......Valkyrie, that famous war maiden of light"

"What a dignified figure it is"

Despite the knights who scream in wonder, the war maidens of light appear one after another. The War Maiden of Light is a manifestation of the spirit of light in the middle. If you summon a high-ranking rearguard, it is difficult to summon a second one. Doll is summoning them one after another, as if he breathes in such an existence. This alone will give you an idea of ​​how much MP Doll has.

"There are so many war maidens of light......if Doll-sama is there, it will open a way to live!!"

"Umm. Collect the scattered soldiers and prepare a formation! As soon as the formation is reorganized, fight back with the War Maiden of Light!"

When the young servant and generals tried to respond vigorously to Barash"s voice――

"That"s a problem......"

As if Doll"s words were a signal, the War Maidens of Light pierced the chests of the Holy Knights with a lance all at once.

"Wh, What............cough......th......this is............?"

It was a completely unexpected attack. The generals and heavy cavalry guarding Barash collapse without any means to attack the War Maiden of Light.

"Young but well trained"

Only one person. Only the young man who served as Barash"s servant broke in between the War Maiden of Light and Barash and used himself as a shield to prevent the lance. That is not all. Not only did the young servant protect Barash, but the sword in his right hand slashed the neck of a War Maiden of Light. However, even with the blow of the death, it was not possible to defeat the War Maiden of Light.

"Cough....... Bara, sh......sama, run away............plea............"

The young servant dies with a regrettable expression.

"And even though you´re old, you´re really『Iron wall』Barash. To prevent my light war maiden from attacking"

Barash used a shield to prevent the lance, the war maiden of light, who pierced the chest of the young servant.

"Or is it because of the Aegis shield? Either way, you should stop wasting resistance and accept death gracefully"

"What"s this action? Doll-sama, no, 『Two Holy Saint』Doll! Give me an answer!!"

Barash barks without fear in a situation surrounded by the war maidens of light. Although he was old, he still had a certain level of spiritual strength to be appointed as the vice leader of Jardalk´s Holy Knights.

"Answer!! Depending on the answer――that cup, no way!?"

There was a cup on Doll´s left hand floating in the air. As soon as he saw the cup, Barash opened his drooping eyelids and couldn"t help but watch. Innumerable things gather in the cup. Some were out of the body of the general, heavy cavalry, and his young servant who were guarding Barash. Something that is most important to a living person gathers as if sucked into the cup.

"Yeah, as you can see, it"s the Holy Grail, but it"s a replica. Still, any soul of 50,000 can be recovered"

The Holy Grail is a national treasure stored among the oracles in the deepest part of Jardalk Palace.

"Even so, the Demon King of this world can"t kill at most 50,000 soldiers. Is it loosely packed or misunderstood? Thanks to that, I was forced to clean up"

While Doll is muttering alone, Barash is barely able to prevent the onslaught of the war maidens of light and he is gradually sc.r.a.ped.

"I"m in trouble. It seems that an extra person has come because you"re wasting your feet"

There was an old man floating cross-legged in the sky above Doll. A beard――a wise man who ties his gray hair at the top of his head, ties it up like a ponytail, and covers his mouth with wrinkles deeply engraved in his face.

"Heaven knows, earth knows, I know! Careful observation!!"

He holds a cane and speaks as usual while rotating cross-legged.

"Noisy old man"

The face of Doll, who killed the knights of Jardalk with no expression, showed a slight discomfort that even he himself wouldn"t notice.

"Why are you here, who should be guarding the royal capital, Tenca.s.si?"

As if to react to Doll"s doubts, the War Maidens of Light also stop attacking Barash. A little further away, it is a strange sight that Namari is slaughtering Jardalk´s Holy Knights.

"In the Zinba Kingdom, there are only loyal va.s.sals who are worried about the fate of the country. They informed the Udon Kingdom about Jardalk´s evil plan here"

"They did something completely extra"

Looking up at the two monsters floating in the air, Barash couldn"t do anything, he just glared.

"I"m not going to do anything extra. You"re gonna kill all the Knights of Jardalk, right? Hyohoho. Then I will help you directly"

The jewel of the sage"s forehead――the dragon ball spread wide and shone mysteriously.

"Jardalk soldiers and that rampaging monster over there should be charcoal"

Suddenly, countless suns appear in the sky above the dark night.

"And if you die as well, all the better"

While laughing at Doll, the sage dropped the sun――the black magic 『Scorched Earth』 that was said to have been created by the sage.
