Chapter 367 - Fly-Colored Wicked Sword
The battle situation on the left flank drastically changed with the arrival of Sogou Ayaka.
To be honest, the change brought by her presence was greater than I had expected.
Thinking back, I suppose I hadn’t properly witnessed any of Sogou’s “wars”.
I had only witnessed that little one-on-one battle she had with Seras after the battle with Kirihara.
Of course, I know what Sogou can do with her skills but……
[Ayaka-dono seems to be moving from the left wing to the center!]
A messenger arrives with a report.
In other words……
“Sogou Ayaka is almost done with what she should do on the left wing now.”
I suppose I can look at it this way.
According to the report, the Sacrament army on the left wing has collapsed considerably.
High-ma.s.s offensive energy attacks that he can freely manipulate.
In addition, he can even use it to accelerate his own movement.
He can also produce small golden wave dragons, which is equivalent to an autonomous defense that protects him from his surroundings.
There’s also that ability he’s become most notorious for———— His ability to subjugate golden-eyed monsters.
It’s an ability that makes it possible to bring even those Human-Faceds under his control.
With that power, Kirihara Takuto had ama.s.sed an army of golden-eyed monsters.
For example, if———–
If the user had been different……
A completely different battle might have unfolded in this world.
And then, there’s Sogou Ayaka.
Compared to the other two, Sogou is a complete combat specialist.
To begin with, before being an S-Rank, her own fighting qualities were extraordinary.
I don’t quite understand the principle behind it, but she also possesses a technique called “Limit Release”.
Apparently, it’s a technique that she has known back in our original world, an ability unrelated to this world.
She studied ancient martial arts from her grandmother, or so I heard?
An ability only Sogou Ayaka has huh.
Something really is different about her right from the start.
In fact, she has been influencing the war situation greatly all by herself.
Just as she did when she fought against Mira.
This goes without saying with her one-on-one combat ability……
However, even when we fight on the same battlefield, there’s something frightening about her.
In other words———-
She’s someone who had deviated from it.
The norm.
[………………..]
It seems that the giant Sacraments on the left flank were defeated by Sogou one after another.
The people who acted as the commanders were also captured one after another and sent to the rear as prisoners of war.
Her deployed silver army gradually chipped away the domain of the Sacraments.
That’s something that is still ongoing at the moment.
With such results, her current MP reserves are still good———-
In that case, she wouldn’t have any openings.
……I had imagined this happening from the rumors……
However……
[Yeah, feel free to go.]
The overall command was originally the Mad Emperor’s role.
We’re originally supposed to be a guerilla unit.
Putting my hand on my Fly Mask, I lightly arranged its position————
[Let’s go.]
▽
We ran towards the right wing’s front line.
As expected, when compared to the other horses, Slei was the fastest.
I kinda ended up leaving Seras and the others behind.
However, that was already taken care of.
I told them in advance to catch up with us later.
According to the report, the arrival of the giant Sacraments is delayed only on the right flank.
That was one of the reasons why I sent Sogou to the left wing first.
However———– The giant Sacraments were finally reaching the right wing as well.
After jumping into the melee battles on the frontline……
[So it’s you, Fly King.]
Calling out to me was the Cerberus, Roa.
[Good job out here, you and your monster squad are fighting hard.]
[We’re doing our best.]
With a roar, Roa breathed fire on Sacrament that jumped at her, burning it to death.
The flames were unleashed from the right head.
[However…… We will have a hard time dealing with those.]
In the direction Roa was looking at———- were the giant Sacraments.
Patting Roa on her flank……
[I’ll take care of them.]
I made Slei run again.
The Sacraments in front of us were blown away by Slei.
Keeping my awareness to the maximum limit, I scattered my Abnormal State Skill on the Sacraments in our path.
This would also serve as a beacon for Seras and the others to follow.
Other than that———- I also had a longsword in my hand.
A weapon that Pigimaru had taken form into.
Let’s call it a Slime Weapon.
It was a trick made possible by Pigimaru’s third enhancement.
That said, it does seem perfect for this Final Fly King outfit.
I lightly swing the blade.
These flowing white life forces, with a swing, I reap them away.
The intensity is enough.
The sharpness is also sufficient.
Perhaps, the status compensation helps out in this case, but the weight is surprisingly light compared to the sharpness of the blade.
It seems like I’m finally being able to make use of the way to handle a sword that Seras and Eve taught me.
The blood of the Sacraments on the blade disappears with a whirring sound.
I look up.
A shadow.
From above, it envelops me like a shroud.
Somehow———– It’s like I’m suddenly in the shade.
A giant, its back bathed in sunlight, is visible at the end of my gaze.
……Alright.
I held out my hand diagonally upward, pointing it toward the giant.
[————-< Paralyze >————-]
The giant Sacrament who was about to drop the huge sword it had raised overhead……
Just before it swings it down, it freezes in that posture.
As I pa.s.sed through it, I also fired a at it.
Thereupon———— the giant Sacrament bursts open.
The falling sword also crushed some Sacraments nearby.
Disregarding them, Slei kicked away the Sacraments in front of her and ran forward.
“Touka-dono”
On this battlefield———– I advanced.
I have instructed Seras to call me by that name.
For a little while now, I haven’t concealed my name when facing the Mad Emperor and the others.
……Sh*tty G.o.ddess.
If by chance, you have the means to acquire information from this battlefield.
Then, that’s fine.
“The Fly King is Touka Mimori.”
So be it.
What’s the point of hiding this now?
This is information that she should have known already.
However, this information can also be an insurance policy———– a preparatory play.
The same goes for this conspicuous Final Fly King outfit.
It’s also for this reason I’m unleashing my skills like this.
We have already given instructions to “overlook” some of the humans they met to the commanders.
If possible, I hope they will bring back information about me.
……As I said, these are all preparatory plays for the future.
Whether these actions will be useful or not remains to be seen.
Still, I’m going to sow the seeds that can be sown.
I could never know when or where they would sprout.
…………………..
This isn’t just about this battlefield where I am now.
Yes, that’s right.
Vysis.
With precautionary measures in hand———–
The information war has already begun.
▽
Just like that, the waves of enemies continued to pour in almost constantly, for about 3 days.
