Declaration Of War
Amidst the bell ringing, I arrived at the Imperial Capital’s rampart. Ever since this bell rang, the Imperial Capital residents have been evacuating frantically.
There are about a total of 30 thousand soldiers in the Imperial Capital. About 5 thousand of that have left to lead the evacuation, and the remainder has gathered at the rampart. Well, since there are about 500 thousand Imperial Capital residents, I guess they’ll need that many people at least.
The General, the Hero group, and the Imperial Capital’s big guns have gathered around me as well.
“It turned into something serious huh〜”
Gargante, who made a frivolous smile after taking a look at the vicinity, showed up by my side. We shouldn’t have had that much contact though?
“Did you know?”
“About what?”
“This dragon’s attack. You’re connected with them, aren’t you”
I recall the time during the war. The fact that this fellow had grouped up with the fellow who can use the Demon Race’s Teleportation Magic. It was also because of that, that we had a disadvantage during the war.
“Who knows, I have no idea. I didn’t meet with him after the war after all”
But, Gargante says he has no idea. The current me doesn’t know whether he’s telling the truth or not.
“Well, whatever. As long as you don’t betray us during this time’s battle”
“It’s fine. This is also part of my commission after all”
Gargante said and ended up going off somewhere. Commission, meaning it’s from His Majesty? I don’t know, but I just have to subjugate him if he double-crosses.
“Lei, how is it?”
As I’m looking in the direction where the dragons are coming, there’s Alexia’s voice from behind ……I should’ve already made her go to where General Melia is though? I turned around, and as I thought, Alexia was standing there. Furthermore, fully equipped.
“……why are you here, Alexia”
“I mean, I can’t keep quiet and watch at the back even though Lei is fighting, right. You should want to have more firepower, even a little”
“No, Alexia is the domain’s representative, you know. You can’t go out in front further than the other soldiers, right”
When I say that, Alexia puffs up her cheeks and angrily looks away. There’s no way I can let you fight even if you sulk like that. However, Alexia won’t budge no matter what I say. What should I do.
Was what I was thinking, but we ran out of time already. The dragons already reached a distance where their figures are visible. They’ll probably reach the Imperial Capital in a few more minutes.
“……Alexia. Don’t you die no matter what”
“Lei too!”
Alexia draws and readies Twin Bell. I also take out my spear from the Item Ring, but who knows how far the spear will hold against dragons. I hope it’ll withstand though. Furthermore, this presence that Presence Sense reacts to is.
“Wha, what’s that!?”
One of the Regalia Empire soldiers points at the sky and shouts. A dragon whose length is about 20 meters, with each and every single piece of scale dyed jet black, was flying over there. It has eight wings, and each of the wings is clad in an absurd amount of Magic Power. And then riding on its back is
“Oh, who would’ve thought that we’d meet at a place like this”
“Azel”
one of the Seven Demon Generals, Azel. Not only him, Gilgas and Benjarl too. Besides them is a fellow that’s wrapped up entirely in a jet black armour and a Demon Race woman who’s hugging a pillow sleepily. And
“Who’s that?”
a middle-aged man, whose appearances are black hair and black eyes, stood on its back. The atmosphere that clad him resembles the Seven Demon Generals, but I don’t feel the threat to their extent. Furthermore, he has an atmosphere that’s also similar to the Hero group. Is he an otherworlder?
“Well, don’t give out that much killing intent. We only came to have a little talk”
Azel says something like that to me while smiling. However, the dragons, they start circling the Imperial Capital, surrounding it, when they arrive at the Imperial Capital.
“A talk, you say?”
“Eeh. To put it simply, a declaration of war. We, the Demon Country Tempest, declare war on every country on the entire continent. We have made it so that this sight, can be seen with the Magic Tool in the respective countries as well”
“A return of 300 years ago huh?”
“Eeh. Our goal is to dye the continent in blood and revive the Demon God”
Dye the continent in blood, you say? Fucking talking nonsense.
“Oi, Azel. That’s enough for that talk, right? How about we quickly get to it?”
After hearing Azel’s talk, the black-haired guy interrupts from the side. And then he looks in our direction
“First of all, you people『kneel』”
The moment the black-haired man uttered his words, ‘zudon‘!, my body sinks in a sensation like it’s being weight down. And then the soldiers around kneels, unable to resist this power. Is this some kind of ability?
“Ooh! There’s a tremendous beauty here, isn’t there. I shall have that fellow!”
And then, the black-haired man alights from the dragon’s back and stands on the rampart. And then where he headed to stood Alexia.
“Guuu, don’t you come here!”
Alexia swings her sword, but perhaps the black-haired man’s power remains, her movements are dull. The black-haired man managed to dodge the sword easily.
“Ou ou, I like a strong-willed woman. I like to make someone like that fall into pleasure”
Shitt! My body’s movements are slow! At this rate, that bastard will get to Alexia! I try to move my body one way or another, but my movements, having become dull, are slow. As I’m doing that, the black-haired man brings his hand closer, trying to hold up Alexia’s chin……
Like I’ll let you!
“Hikarin! Come!”
“Got it nano!”
I call Hikarin to my side and give her an enormous amount of Magic Power right away. I then carry on to activate the magic as per my imagination. Perhaps the man noticed my enormous amount of Magic Power, he looks over here
“Aan?『Stop』”
, and the black-haired man utters his words. Through those words, my movements become dull. However, I don’t have the time to be bothered about such things; all I have to do now is to fucking kill that man. Don’t you touch my woman with your dirty hands!
“Uoooo! Lightning God’s Thunderstorm(Keravnos)!”
I point my arm at the black-haired man. Hikarin changes her shape, turns into a sphere that gushes lightning, and settles into my hand. The lightning carries on to start shining and changes its shape again.
Hikarin spreads the lightning from my right arm all the way to my body, in my hand, I’m holding a single-swing spear that has lightning running through it, a lightning gauntlet is worn on my left hand, and eight disk-shaped lightning is hovering behind me, sticking closely to my back.
Lightning Magic Level 10『Lightning God’s Thunderstorm(Keravnos)』. I borrowed Hikarin’s strength and created it; it’s the strongest magic amongst my Lightning Magic. A corresponding amount of Magic Power gets taken away though.
Perhaps the man found it dangerous, he takes me on with Dark Magic’s Dark Lance, but I just block it with my gauntlet-wearing left hand. On top of that, the Dark Lance ended up dissipating before making contact with the gauntlet.
The man, he attacks me despite panicking about the fact that his magic is completely ineffective, but it’s completely meaningless. I point the spear at the man and release two of the lightning that flies behind me. In that instant
Pushuu!
there’s the sound of something being crushed. Simultaneously, the Dark Lance that he’d released at me stops, and the man was blown away before he even realises it himself. The reason the man was blown away is, my attack.
One of the lightning behind me, blew off the right arm the man was holding out in front to cast magic. The man was blown away by the shockwave of that, and the right half of his body was charred.
I then released another one as a shield to prevent the shockwave from getting to Alexia; it did a good job protecting her. It was shaved off by the shockwave of the boundary where the man and Alexia were though.
“……eh? ……guu……ugyaaaa! M m m, my armmmmmm!”
The man holds onto his missing right arm and shouts loudly. I ignore that fellow and go to Alexia. Alexia was surprised by the fact that the man was suddenly blown away, but when she realised that I’m approaching, she ended up sitting down. When I got close, crouched down, and looked at Alexia’s face, tears were floating up in her eyes.
“Are you alright, Alexia?”
“Sor, sorry. My body trembles when I think that I might get sullied by that man without being able to do anything”
Alexia holds her arms, hugging her own body tightly. That’s going to happen if a fellow like that got close to her huh. I hug Alexia strongly and kiss her. Not a light one like the ones until now, a deep one.
Alexia is my woman. I won’t let any man other than me touch her. Her arm trained for swinging a sword, her voluptuous legs, her breasts that mesmerise men, these soft lips, everything of Alexia.
“…….Lei……”
“Get back”
I smile at the intoxicated Alexia and look at the man. The man is curling up in pain, but he glares at me. However, I too glare at the man.
I’m definitely not gonna forgive you. I’ll erase every fucking trace of your existence.
