Dark Knight Kroki

　A huge undead made of many corpses is in front of them.
　In front of this undead behemoth, the empty ship they're in looks very small.
　A proper collision would be the end of it.

''How about it!　The Dark Knight!　I'm going to show you the power of Maudgal!

　Zarxys laughs.
　It's certainly outrageous. I can feel the powerful miasma.
　Every time Maudgal walks, miasma-laden bodily fluids flow out and stain the earth.
　Every time you move your body, you can hear a moan of agony from the person's face on the surface of your body.
　It's a moving hell itself.

''Eat it!　A Thousand Rows of Maudgal's Rotting Acid Poisonous Water Bubble Scattering (Acid Water Splash)!

　Zarxis shouted and countless liquids flew from Maudgal's body.
　They are water bullets with a poisonous color.

''Nine layers of magic shield!''

　Kuna deploys his magic shield.
　The liquid has magical properties, and every time it hits it, it melts the magical shield.
　Each time the Kuna sends its magic power to reinforce the shield.

'Ho!　Don't do it!　Well then, how about this!　Death Breaking Thousand Whip Tentacles!

　Multiple tentacles are attacking Maudgal at the same time.
　Coona's magic shield has its hands full blocking the water bullets.
　So, I'm moving here myself.

''Of what!

　The miasma of the miasma is the most important part of the game.
　The miasma of the miasma is a miasma that can't be prevented, and the miasma that can't be prevented enters through the chinks in the armor and burns the body.
　It hurts, but it's bearable.

"A thousand blades of black fire!

　A blade of black flame extends from the sword and slashes through all the tentacles.
　Then, holding the sword on his back, he converges the black flames and swings the sword from the upper level.

''Dark Slaying God Sword!''

　Black flames extend and cut through Modogal. It's a combination of black explosive magic and slashing.
　However, Mode Gal only shakes and does not fall.
　I return to the ship myself.
　I couldn't defeat it, but the water bullets have stopped.
　I take the opportunity to get some distance between them.
　The army of death will be chasing us, but we may have some time to rest.

'Kroki!　Are you okay?!

　Coona and the others run up to him.
　Their faces are worried. It hurts quite a bit, but I can't let it worry me.

''I'm fine. More importantly, have we done any damage?'

　I look up and see Maudgal.
　That's where I see something incredible. Maudgal's wounds are healing.

'It's no use~. It's useless~. As long as there is the miasma stored in this land, it will heal indefinitely~

　The clown says it sounds like fun.
　But I don't think it's a good idea to look like you're having fun in this situation.
　Well, I guess that's the kind of character he is.

'Exactly!　I don't know who you are, but you know d*mn well who you are!　This Mode Gull is invincible!　''Take it, Super Demon Extreme True Spirit Fusiform!

　At the point of Maudgal's neck, which is now in humanoid form, there is no head on the neck. Instead, it has a huge mouth.
　The huge mouth of Modogaru opens wide.
　What can be seen inside is a mass of pale evil spirits (Larva). It's the same as the mouth on Zarxis' belly.

''Not good!　The Dark Flame Wall!
"Nine layers of magic shield!
Vomit!　Rainbow protection!

　Myself, Kuna and Herkert simultaneously cast a defensive magic.
　Immediately after that, a torrent of evil spirits (Larva) is released from Maudgal's huge mouth.

''d*mn!　This is it!
"Kyaaaah!
Geez!

　The cries of the coonas.
　The magical defensive wall cannot prevent them from doing so.
　When a strong impact hits the empty ship, it is blown away as it is.

''Glorious!''

　I fly with Coona in my arms and jump over to Glorious.
　Then, I get ahead of the blown up airship.

'What!'

　He raises his hands and supports them with Glorious.
　Thanks to this, the empty ship will fall slowly, avoiding crashing to the ground.

''Thank you, ...... dark knight. This is a tough one.

　Herkert wobbles down.
　The witch, as expected, seems to be in a hurry.
　And the empty ship that landed on the ground is broken or does not float.

'Hurry up and fix it!

　I would call out to those on board.
　There must be someone on board who can maintain it.
　We must make repairs as soon as possible.

'No!　Sir!　We should leave the airship and run for it!　If it's just His Excellency who can ride a dragon and us who can ride a flying dragon (wyvern), we can escape!

　Guno comes by.
　Surely they could get away with it themselves. Glorious can ride Herkert and a few others.
　But not all of them can escape.

No. We can't do that ......

　I shake my head.
　I'm not the one who can do that.
　Even as I'm thinking about that, I can see Maudgal approaching.

'Geez, geez. Then what do you do?　The Dark Knight?　It's dangerous to fight. Earlier, only Maudgal was against us. Next time, Zarxys and the others might attack us too.

　Herkert is right.
　We were just watching earlier, but Zarxys and the Death Military will be coming next.
　Besides, the death knights in the land are beginning to gather.
　Even if we flee in Glorious, we will be trapped in the middle of nowhere. There is nowhere to run.
　Besides, we can still do something about it.

We'll be fine. Herr Kert. We'll use that.
Gello?　Huh?
Yes, sir. I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Nice one, Coona. I'll use that one.

　Kuna nodded when he said himself.

'All right, Kroki. But that's a work in progress. And it's supposed to use quite a bit of magic too, right?
It's okay. Coona. I'll take this. I think it'll be fine with this.

　Saying this, he picked up the Soul Pearl (Soul Orb).
　The magic power of this jewel was outrageous. With this, I could use that technique.

''Gelee gelee. What are you going to do with the soul orb?　The Dark Knight?
We will now use the magic we developed with Kuna. Lord Herkert. Will you help me?

　He turns to Herkert and says.
　I felt it before, when I fought Alfos. That there was another way to be strong.
　And, with Kuna, it was a matter of trial and error.
　We have to use it now.
　It's still a work in progress, but with the Soul Pearl (Soul Orb), we might be able to make it work.

''Vomit?　I don't know what it is. All right. My money's on you.

　Now we have the conditions.
　I don't know if it will work or not. But I had no choice.



Zarxys, the God of Death.

　The Dark Knights are chasing after the Dark Knights in Maudgal, who have been turned into giant gods.
　I've called on all of our local kindred to assemble.
　They are no match for the dark knights, but they must be stopped at least.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I would like to ask you to do something for me.

　Zafarada comes to us from his ghost skyship.

'What's the matter?　Zafarada?
'If I defeat the Dark Knight, would you give me the remains?　Hopefully I can make you my household.

　Zafarada laughs.
　I don't think that dark knight can be Zafarada's subordinate.
　However, he could at least do it with a piece of a corpse.

''Then father. Can I have that silvery white girl?　Preferably alive. I'd like to make you my wife.

　Zasha, who followed along, says, and Zafarada gives him a cold look.

''Zasha. What's so good about a woman like that?　Such a pollywoman. We should let Zarbut's maggot eat her.
'Well, sister ....... But it's such a beauty. It would be a shame to feed it to Brother Zalbute's maggot, or rather ......

　Zafarada stares at me and slumps down.
　What are you thinking, my child at all?
　Isn't this the same as the male gods (idiots) who follow Deirdre?
　When Diadna destroys Elyos, she will share the goddesses as slaves.
　They are fools. There's no way that Diadona would let those goddesses who have Mina's blood on their hands live.
　But whoever that silvery white girl is, she must not be a goddess of Elyos.
　Then it doesn't matter. In the end, it all comes down to death.
　My family and the rest of them.

"All right. Zasha. You can do whatever you want with that girl.
'Is it true, father!　Yay!
Father!

　Naturally, Zasha is pleased and Zafarada is angry.
　But more importantly, the Dark Knight is still alive and well. First, he hits the guy in front of him.

''Hm. That girl. I don't care about him compared to the Dark Knight. I'll beat him first.

　His empty ship fell to the ground after receiving Mode Gull's Super Demonic Extreme True Spirit Fungus Ausen.
　I thought he was going to escape on the dragon, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of doing so.
　However, I don't intend to let him escape.
　He has already summoned all his men and women from this place. There is no escape for him.
　We'll send Modogal on his way.
　It will take a lot of magic to move it, but it should last just fine.
　I wish I had the power of the Spirit Pearl to make it easier to move it, but no matter. I'll be able to get it back soon.
　The Zarbute ahead of me stops.
　What's going on?

What's up?　Why stop?

　I look in front of Zalbute's eyes.
　There is a dark knight in the sky, riding a dragon, along with a woman with silvery white hair.
　All around him are the female daemons riding the flying dragon (wyvern).
　They seem to be planning to intercept him.
　I almost laugh. Let's use this mode gull to twist and crush them.

Move it!　It's Maudgal!　Twist him up!

　He lets the modal advance.
　But when it is almost there, its progress stops.

''What!　Why stop, Maudgal!

　Maudgal looks like he's trying to move on, but something has caught his footing and he can't seem to move.

'Father!　There's a thorn in Maudgal's leg!

　At the sound of Zafarada's voice, he looks at Maudgal's feet.
　There are black thorns growing there, tangling around Maudgal's feet.

'Nonsense!　Why won't it die!　Any plant or flower that touches this Maudgal should be destined to die!

　Maudgal is a negative entity.
　The weak who touch it will rot and die. However, the black thorns entangled in Maudgal show no signs of dying.
　On the contrary, they grow and creep up from the ground to Maudgal.
　You can see flowers blooming here and there on the black yabara, and you can see the figure of a woman in the flowers.

'It's the Demon Flower Maiden (Alraune)!　Zarxys!　Maudgal will suck the miasma and feed them as they grow!

　A dark knight in the sky shouts.
　In his hand, he holds the soul orb.
　The soul orb shines and radiates magic power.

''Ridiculous!　A mere Alraune shouldn't stop Maudgal from being a mere mortal!　What did you do, Dark Knight!

　It is said that Arraune was born from the blood of a male god who was executed long ago and grew by breathing in the miasma.
　The mere presence of plants and flowers does not defeat the moxie of Maudgal. The miasma of the miasma is not the same as the miasma of the other two.

"Don't you realize, Zarxys!　You've entered the magical wards that you and Kuna created!
What?

　It's true, if you ask me, the atmosphere around me is strange.
　Don't tell me you've created a magical ward?
　However, this land is an advantage for this Zarxis. He shouldn't be able to get the magic power he needs to create the magic wards.
　After thinking that far, I realize.

''You can't be you!　The magic of the soul orb!
You're right, Zarxys!　I developed this when I fought Alfoss in the past, thinking I could create my own magical wards!　It's still a work in progress, but thanks to the Soul Orb, I've managed to do it!

　When the Dark Knight says this, black thorns grow out of the ground except for Maudgal's feet.
　A sweet fragrance fills the space.
　In a few seconds, a flower garden will form all around this area.
　In the garden, the Demon Maiden (Alraune) sings, and a crowd of little fairies, beetle warriors, female mantis vultures and frogmen (Toadman) dance.
　The faces of the dancing men are full of energy. The flower garden may have an invigorating effect on the insects.
　In contrast, my family members seem to be getting weaker and weaker.
　I didn't expect them to leave such a hand behind.

'Zarxys!　Sorry Maudgal, but you will sleep in this black rose garden!
