182. The Three Gunmen
In an instant, the stage was filled with people’s screams and smoke. In the middle of the chaos where everything was intertwined, Cream landed in a light motion.
Because it was red pepper powder or whatever, it was mixed with something nasty, so the smoke made my eyes sting. Of course, it was only the feeling, and thanks to the protection of the sword and cream, there was no hindrance.
Only Choco, whose senses are particularly sensitive among us, reacted violently.
“Keluk Kelluk, uh. What is this?”
At least, I just rubbed my sore eyes and coughed a few times. However, the situation of our party, who are at least transcendental, and ordinary spectators could not be the same.
Those who cough, those who shed tears. It wasn’t even a mess of suffocating people and people who couldn’t even control their bodies. The soldiers who were supposed to control the situation were also busy choking on biochemical attacks.
Other things were happening on the stage that would be the center of all stories.
“My lady, this way!”
“Haa, why do I have to listen to all four of them?”
The two finalists on the stage, who had been fighting as if they were going to die a little while ago, stood back to back as soon as a crisis situation arose, and were vigilant in all directions. Although it seems that La Jolde is barely able to tease and soothe Epony.
And on one side, cream and chocolate stood side by side, and beyond the fog, the duo presumed to be the culprits of this situation stood up again. A three-way battle in which each other is wary of each other.
In the end, the goals of all six of us on this stage were the same. Each other’s spirits are entangled and boiling, and greed and murderous gazes stick to the clown in the center of the three-way battle.
“Heh, heo-eok…”
The clown didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary, either, but he didn’t seem to have the talent to block the momentum pouring in from all directions at the same time. Soon after, he faints and collapses.
The ancestral tablet of the Three Gods, which he was holding tight, also escaped from his hand and flew up into the air. The balance was broken in an instant.
[Catch!]
“No! My······.”
The voices were mixed. Naturally, Cream was the fastest of the three groups, but it was unfortunate for us that the clown was closest to the winners.
Cream’s footsteps, which seemed to be about to kick the ground and run away, stopped for a second. She turned her head, feeling a slight stream of power at her feet. A half-mask smiling face.
Yes. Did you notice which one is more dangerous? However, his lowly magic only caught Cream’s footsteps for a fleeting moment.
Cream’s level as a warrior was so high that it couldn’t be compared to anything like Epony, but the sophistication of a wizard was also far too high. La Solde’s magic was weakly offset by the sound of her footsteps.
“It belongs to us!”
But did these bastards conspire? As soon as they resisted the interference of the winner duo, the duo who spread spicy smoke took action. I felt like something was wriggling in my hand spread over the black robe.
Soon, a thorny vine made of black ice rose up and tried to entwine the cream.
[Do your tricks!]
From noble mtl dot com
These disgusting bastards. It was like this in the kingdom, and I don’t know what kind of bullying it is even in the empire. However, since I had already defeated their cult, they were no longer my opponents.
At the same time as I yelled, the icy vines that had been shooting sharp spikes toward us melted away. Yes, I ate three holy relics, but I have to give you this much.
But while I was writing that move, my action was delayed by one beat. The divine tablet, which was spinning in the air, landed in the hand of a woman wearing a bladed dress.
“Soldier! Soldier! Stop these thugs!”
At the same time as grabbing the card, Epony issued an order in an arrogant tone. Yes, the downside to us was that this was their home ground.
The effect of the spicy smoke screen didn’t last long, and the soldiers who regained their senses were flocking again clutching their spears. Both the number and quality were far from those of theater managers.
If you look closely, the articles are also sparsely mixed. Well, they’re not fools, and they must have expected the existence of such an intruder.
[Choco, stop!]
“Oh? I don’t have the confidence to control my strength…”
[It doesn’t matter if I kill you!]
The dead don’t talk. As long as there are other intruders besides us here, we can lay the blame on them!
Even if that fails, Solium is worth taking that risk.
“I don’t really like hunting for anything other than eating, but hey!”
Contrary to the words that he was reluctant, Choco pushed the government with all his might. A novice’s punches with no goal to speak of, and with a very sloppy form. However, the power contained in it is different.
Choco’s pure physical ability surpasses even Cream, which is not subject to Gaho’s correction. Besides, he’s not as good at controlling power as Cream.
Throwing out is always full power.
Quaaang!
With a roar that sounded like an explosion, a shock wave exploded in a straight line along the trajectory of his fist. At the end of that trajectory, there was a group of soldiers and knights united.
Someone floated up like a toy and flew everywhere. Even so, it was a shame that the knights in the lead picked up most of the impact, otherwise it wouldn’t have been strange if some of the flying pieces had remained intact.
“Whehehehe.”
The knights, who were wearing armor that was clearly different from the soldiers, also knelt down and vomited blood. Glowing letters were seen on their helmets and armor, which soon turned to dust and scattered.
The war situation, which had been turning urgently, stopped for a moment, as if it were fascinated by that ridiculous power. While Epony stared at us in dismay, I saw a shadow cast behind him that quickly came to its senses.
[Stop them!]
Of course, it’s a skill that’s close to average, but the power alone is overwhelming, but they quickly came to their senses and seemed to have made a reasonable decision.
Instead of fighting ‘something like that’, let’s quickly achieve our goal and run away! It was a good judgment that would have been applauded if it were allies, but they were enemies.
It’s not very threatening, but it keeps annoying people around like flying flies.
“Yes.”
It’s better to hide your identity-As soon as I thought of that, Cream put the holy sword back with me, and molded a crystal sword forged with the holy power of the moon at his fingertips.
Instead of the sacred power of the Dark Church, which was tainted and corrupted by the darkness, the tremendous divine power given down as a natural right of a warrior gushed out from within the crystal sword. The sword swung, scattering light that refracted in hundreds of directions.
Suaaang!
A strange sword that sounded like howling or singing silenced all sounds in the area at once. In the silence, Cream, who swung the crystal sword, slowly raised herself.
In the old days, I don’t know why they urged me not to pursue them. However, now that my eyes have been opened, the trajectory of one stroke that Cream has carved into the world with a single blade is very clear to my eyes.
Suddenly, I questioned the reality that I had taken for granted.
Yes, isn’t this world too fragile?
Those who are nothing hold at least a thread of fate in their hands just because they are magicians, and no matter how brave they are, they are still mere mortals wielding weapons to create gold in the world.
Shamans reveal the ‘records of the world’ that can be read by God or through limited means, and the power of faith handled by priests laughs and ridicules the laws of this world so easily.
Even in the deep sea, if you come up to the shallow surface, you can’t overcome the difference in water pressure and burst to death, but the beings of the other side world, which are governed by completely different laws, wear the name of demons and manifest themselves on this land so easily.
Clang!
“Kuuk!”
However, the sound of the crystal sword shattering in Cream’s hand and the overlapping screams brought me back to reality.
Her sword she wielded cut through the air, but at the same time it slashed her space and cut what she wanted to cut as well. Beyond Epony, the divine tablet in La Solde’s hand flew up to her wrist.
However, the cut surface was ivory and smooth, and not a single drop of blood was spilled. ‘Prosthetic arm?’ Before I could finish thinking, Cream jumped ahead of my thoughts.
“Caught.”
A little later, another pair of black vines stretched out towards us, but before they could entangle Cream’s body, they collided with my gaze and crumbled. She landed on the ground with La Solde’s wrist.
She gripped it with such a strong grip that even when her hand had been cut off, her fingers still clenched her shinplate until it was white. Yes, after all, this was not an arm of a creature, but a prosthetic arm.
But did you have the technical skills to create such a precise prosthetic arm in another world? Oh, I don’t know. It must have been taken from a metal monster somewhere. That’s not what’s important now.
[Finally!]
It’s just that we got Solium. Epony seemed to attack us at any moment, but La Jolde desperately stopped it, and the Dark Church’s duo’s attack did not reach us.
Still, he’s a warrior, but it’s only natural that he can’t be approached by the average person. Anyway, today I succeeded in becoming a righteous thief. Shall we go back now?
All the spectators have long since left, and the soldiers and knights are unable to fight. Nothing could stop us any longer. The moment Cream lightly rolled her feet and floated into the air.
Without any warning, a new type appeared right in front of her and stabbed her with a spear.
