Chapter 304 The Aftereffects of Panic, and Chasing the Slave (2)

The sun inclined, and the curtain of night began to fall.

In front of us the soldiers who reduced numbers somewhat in the fight with the iron doll golems during the day were maintaining formation regularly.

To my right Melchior and Niagara, Floche whose injury healed were waiting.

Then in front of me Rosina and Sheena, behind Muriel, Gejia, Birga, Lilli, Ito, Nadja, Sara, Tiria, Yanica, Lily.

Now thinking zombies would slowly come from the other side of the large crater I opened, but...

Some singing voice began to be heard on the battlefield.

That was terribly eerie... no this was a spell.

When the voice stopped a human shadow standing up appeared in front of the soldiers.

That was the vanguard of the enemy army blown this way when shooting the fireball and died.

Most became meat lumps, but other than that the ones barely maintaining the original form stood up and headed this way unsteadily.

No even those meat lumps wriggled and crawled.

That appearance that raised chills the soldiers too without exception seemed eerie, and that movement became slow.

(Please lower the front line units!)

Suddenly what echoed in the head was the voice of Hans the temple head of the Urilmex temple the head of the priest unit.

Instead of the soldiers changing the priest unit including Rosina and Sheena went around in front of that and lined in a horizontal line.

Then raised hands and chanted the spell as if singing.

That was a light curtain.

From the hands of the priests lined in a horizontal line light particles appeared, and that lined up down left right like one cloth and moved deep into the battlefield.

The zombies that touched that light curtain without exception ascended and prostrated to the ground.

When thinking the zombies would be swept away with this something shone from the other side of the large crater.

"No!"

When Melchior shouted ran further in front of the priest unit and chanted the spell.

At the same time the magic barrier Melchior made completed the enemy army’s attack magic attacked.

The attack magic hit the barrier and dissipated.

That was wind blades made in several waves, and without the magic barrier would have attacked the priests concentrating the spell to sweep away the zombies and casualties would have come out.

But the enemy’s attack was not only that.

I saw something humanoid flying stuck tightly behind that attack magic.

I who was chasing Melchior when coming beside Melchior immediately posed the greatsword Destroyer held in the left hand in front of Melchior’s head.

At the same time an impact arose on the greatsword Destroyer.

In front of Melchior a monster with large horns grown on the head, bat-like wings grown on the back was swinging down the sword held in both hands.

"Chi!"

That monster who was probably a man clicked his tongue, then this time stabbed the sword once pulled aiming at me.

I avoided that, then made a horizontal slash with the bastard sword in the right hand.

The man flew and avoided that, then in the sky licked his tongue while looking down at me.

"Master!"

At that time Muriel and them caught up.

"Chi!"

The man clicked his tongue again and turned, tried to escape.

But whether finding something the man remained as is while directing eyes this way.

"What, was there. Searched. Kukukuku. Come, come this way. Again shake the waist unsightly and please me."

Initially did not understand what said, but immediately understood who said to.

Because the person said to came out in front of me.

"You!"

The same as the man shook bat-like wings and flew up into the sky.

"Kukukuku. Come, come!"

"Wait!"

When the man flew to the other side as if inviting the person said to = Gejia chased the man too.

"Gejia! Wait!"

I shouted to Gejia too, but whether blood rose to the head Gejia flew as is.

As is bad.

I ran at full speed chasing Gejia across the battlefield where the zombies were swept away by the enemy’s magic.

...

Now already night.

On the battlefield should be no light, originally dark darkness continuing endlessly, but fortunately today was full moon.

That too two moons brightly illuminating the battlefield.

While visually confirming Gejia flying at high speed in the sky I continued running.

But that had a limit too.

Even if I ran at full speed seemed not to match Gejia’s flying speed.

When losing sight of Gejia I stopped there and closed my eyes trying to look around.

...Ah, right.

At night this ability for some reason unusable.

I looked around with my own eyes, used the still red wriggling lava as a landmark, and tried to run to the other side avoiding the large crater filling that.

"Lord Asahi!"

At that time from behind the sound of hooves kicking the ground and called in a large voice.

For an instant thought Muriel, but the voice different and the way of calling different.

Turning around Melchior riding a horse was running toward this way.

When approaching me jumped off the horse splendidly.

"Please use this."

Then tried to hand the reins to me but...

"I cannot ride a horse."

When saying that Melchior fell silent, and I fell silent too.

Wind blew between the two of silence.

...

"I think around here..."

Had Melchior search for Gejia with magic and hurried to that place.

Of course the reins Melchior held, and I rode behind and hugged Melchior.

"Not a nuisance?"

"...Emergency situation."

When I asked Melchior answered.

What was that interval?

"Was there!"

Looking in the direction Melchior pointed indeed Gejia was there.

Seemed arguing with the monster man.

"Gejiaa!"

I called Gejia in a large voice.

In front Melchior leaned forward and covered her ears with the hand holding the reins.

Quite far, but the voice seemed to reach.

Gejia turned this way.

Then the man confronting Gejia gripped Gejia’s neck with the right hand.

Gejia painfully gripped the right hand of the man choking the neck with both hands.

"Miss Melchior, hurry to the other side..."

"Seems impossible."

Tried to have Melchior turn the horse, but Melchior answered staring at the sky.

I too looked at the sky following Melchior’s gaze, and there a dragon was fluttering without sound.

The color dark and unknown, but the size not that different from the dragon I defeated.

But there was a decisive different place.

"Hmm, you are my bait."

Yes, spoke.

"Elder dragon!"

Melchior shouted that surprised.

The daytime dragon was a fire dragon, the strongest among adult dragons lesser dragons, but that only among adult dragons lesser dragons.

Between adult dragons lesser dragons and elder dragons the strength completely different... apparently.

That too because this time heard certain things about dragons, but elder dragons rarely appeared in front of people so did not hear in detail.

What I knew was that could speak, and that there were dragons that could manipulate magic, about that degree.

"Now, play with me?"

The dragon talked that to us.

But I was not in a state for that.

Looking at Gejia’s side the man licked the cheek of Gejia groaning painfully.

"Kukukuku, that is your master. You have fallen too."

Again crawled the tongue on Gejia’s cheek.

"S-stop..."

"Ho, even you dislike being tormented in front of the beloved master?"

The man kneaded Gejia’s breasts with the left hand.

"Stop!"

I raised a large voice.

The man turned my way and thinly smiled, then lifted while gripping Gejia’s neck and directed toward me.

"Kukukuku, doing here fine too. How, being violated in front of your beloved master."

The man said that and laughed loudly.

"S-stop, please!"

"Kukukuku, do not worry. Your beloved master’s corpse I will give to you. Well might become ash though."

Hearing the man’s words Gejia streamed tears.

Seeing that anger swelled inside me, and... lost consciousness.

...

How many times with this.

...Second time, or third time.

I was watching the image "I" was seeing.

"I" tried to head toward the dragon in front of the eyes.

"Lord Asahi!"

Melchior tried to stop "I" and grabbed the arm, but swallowed breath looking at the turned "I".

"This too your enemy?"

"I" directed the right hand to Melchior.

(Different! Ally!)

"I see."

"I" lowered the hand, then shook off Melchior’s arm and headed toward the dragon.

"What is it? Will a small human fight me?"

The dragon that was flying in the sky landed.

"Ho, I am small. Then you are dust."

"I" raised the left hand and swung up the greatsword Destroyer.

Then put magic power into the greatsword Destroyer.

Magic power?

Maybe different.

Something different from magic power.

The dragon who saw that floated an expression of astonishment.

"You are... what?"

"I? I am..."

"I" swung down the greatsword Destroyer whose reach extended by something different from magic power.

The dragon became two halves, and dark black blood scattered.

"I am... a god."
