BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

In the town of Renato, the book of the night had already gone down. It's only been about an hour since the comrade's rally, but it's wrapped up in darkness in this town.

Comrades went home and Belle and Raleigh were waiting in the same room as Emilia.

Bert, on the other hand, is alone and stands in front of Emilia's house.

After sundown, there was no one left to walk outside. If someone gets close to me, I'll know soon enough. It was quiet around that much.

"Raleigh is still fine. But that blonde, he..."

Standing in front of the door of Emilia's house, Burt was bumping into himself. Bell is a black magician (Grigori) with powers he doesn't have, and he has a crush on Emilia. I had good reason to hate Bart.

Renato's long night had just begun, and there were still no signs of people approaching.

"Emilia. What do you think about Burt?

In one of the dining rooms, on the other hand, there was a rare call from Raleigh to Emilia.

"Heh ⁉ …"

Emilia uttered an unspoken voice. That was something that wasn't like her, who was always calm and classy.

Were you surprised to hear from Raleigh, or was it just because you were thinking about Bart right now?

……………

Bell had complicated feelings. I don't want to know how she feels about Bart, but I'm also dull to say that I want to know somewhere in my heart.

"Bert is... just a childhood friend. I've never thought about marriage."

Emilia clogged her words for a moment. I guess there were more thoughts going on in her head than she put into words.

I can hear her favoring Bart more or less because of Emilia's whispering words.

Of course, Bell didn't even realize that. On the contrary, I was even relieved. Without realizing what it's like to be hidden behind words.

"Yes..."

Raleigh pursued no further. Unlike Bell, she must have figured out how Emilia felt. Raleigh, who is not good at direct communication, had a sharp eye for observation. For not being able to talk well, he may be trying to understand the person from the trick.

"Kee, how did the knight get the power of black magic (Grimoire)?

Emilia, who wanted to switch her head quickly, shook the subject to Bell.

"Huh?"

Now Bell can circle his thoughts in his head. I never thought we'd be talking about this. The town of Renato is only the crossing point for the escape journey. I was destined to be soon separated from the people who live here.

Belle has a crush on Emilia, but she knew her breakup was waiting for her right there. It's not smart behavior to inadvertently bury your own secrets.

"Is it also a secret I can't tell you?

Raleigh stares at Bell with a mean face. Already she had her heart open to Bell. The common denominator of the same black magician (grigori) may also be one of the factors that made her open her mind quickly.

"Uh... that's..."

Bell was aggressively trying to twist out a good excuse.

Most black magicians (grigori) make their own covenants with the devil. It was common sense in this world. Everyone usually wants to know why they tried to gain strength until they signed with the devil.

"I don't think you're gonna say anything."

Raleigh kept an eye on Bell. Raleigh had a vision that Bell was hiding something.

Of course, a few black magicians (grigories) sign with the devil for no good reason. Except in the case of Bell, there is no easy need to reveal the truth here.

"That's what I say. What about you?

"I... I became a black magician (Grigori)..."

Without defying Bell, Raleigh begins to tell her why she became a Black Mage (Grigori).

But her words seemed to hold onto the back of her throat.

………………

Belle and Emilia watch the situation in silence.

"I became a Black Mage (Grigori) for my family"

The words that were caught in the back of Raleigh's throat were finally thrown out.

"Raleigh is a family thought, isn't she?!

Emilia let her eyes shine. Emilia and Raleigh seem to be dating for some time, but I guess we haven't talked about the kind of thing I said.

……………

Raleigh was looking embarrassed. I guess I'm not very used to having my attention. Raleigh is at the heart of the conversation right now.

"So, why did you sign with the devil for your family?

"............ I wanted to be strong. I wanted to help you all."

Raleigh, who said that, had a little power. I guess that word has some strong thoughts in it. Raleigh leans down, shivering.

"Beh, if you don't want to answer anything, you don't have to!

Bell was upset. I thought Raleigh cried out at her own question.

To avoid being interested in herself, Bell just spoke to Raleigh. I guess I never dreamed that would make a girl cry.

"For everyone's sake, I needed strength..."

Railey raised her face, staring straight at Bell's face. I don't know why, but there were tears all over her eyes.

"That's what the devil told you?

It was never Belle's fault that Raleigh cried out. That said, if you're crying in front of me, you have to feel responsible. Raleigh also had the option of saying she wouldn't answer, but she didn't.

"Different."

Raleigh shouted out loud at the moment. That was a voice I couldn't imagine from my normal girlfriend. Hearing her loud voice, Belle and Emilia were frightened for a moment.

"That's my will. I was given the strength I wanted. I wasn't fooled by the devil."

Raleigh strongly denied Bell's assumptions. She must have made a pact with the devil, with a very strong will. Still, the exact reason why Raleigh became a Black Mage (Grigori) has yet to be revealed.

Whatever it was, I was sure she had strong feelings for the people she called her family.

"Don't be angry. That family is important to you..."

Bell was even impressed by Raleigh's strong will. I don't know the truth about that feeling, but it's a very strong will. Strong enough to beat the feelings Bell has for his father.

"Nothing... I'm not mad..."

Raleigh, who exploded her emotions, was back to her as usual. There is no more girl now who was so loud that she had clearly communicated her will. There you are, a moist, people-familiar girl.

"I also wanted to hear why the knight became a black magician."

Where Raleigh's story had one paragraph, Emilia was about to wave the subject to Bell again.

"Will that happen in the end ~..."

Seeing a curious Emilia smile, Belle had to laugh bitterly.

Then a while later, when the night was completely changed. In front of Emilia's house, Bart was sitting around looking bored.

"Luna Guard is really coming...?

Bart had plenty of time. I feel so much easier patrolling the whole town than waiting. Doing nothing. Just waiting for the enemy to come was an intolerable time for Bart.

⁉ ︎

The arrowhead that was doing so, Burt feels some sign. It was dangerous and almost distracting, but Bart was still not distracted. I don't see him, but someone's lurking nearby. Burt is careful and looks around.

"Are you finally here..."

Doing so, one shadow popped into Bart's eyes. The person coming this way is dressed in a cloak of dark colour. Because of the dark surroundings, it was not possible to grasp the color.

………………

Eventually, the mysterious figure stops at Bart's sight.

The cloak on which he is weaving depicts a crest like a combination of three moons and a cross. Undoubtedly, the person in front of you is Luna Guard.

His head is hidden in a creepy mask. It was a type of mask covering the upper half of his face, shaped like a snake's upper jaw. From that mask, I can even feel the elegance.

"I'm picking up Emilia Lambert."

Finally, Luna Guard opens her mouth. The face under the mask is squared and gives a harsh impression.

"I'm not giving Emilia to Luna Guard!

Burt is stripping away his hostility. The Lunar Guard (Luna Guard) man, who usually deals with the followers of Renato, was astonished.

"Well, a servant wants to defy Luna Guard."

"Who's the servant?" I'm a warrior. And it's the man who's marrying Emilia!

"I thought you were a servant because you seemed so narrow. Marry Miss Lambert? Not only Luna Guard, but also the Pope."

The masked man is also as belligerent as Bart.

What is before him now is a person who does not believe in Renato's teachings and who also fools the Pope's will to be treated on an equal footing with God. There was a one-touch tension there, but the masked man doesn't even show a bare gesture of putting up a weapon.

"Can I give you Emilia?" If you want to go ahead, take me down. "

Burt was about to complete his mission. On this occasion now, there is to be Emilia at the end of this door.

"I see. Are you going to say that? You think a man like you who's poor can beat me?

The masked man was totally hooked on Barbara's set trap. He assumes Emilia is ahead of him.

As the comrades thought, the masked man is trying to clean up by empowering Burt in front of him. However, the masked man had many times the size of Bart's body. In a flesh-bomb battle, he would definitely be in his favor.

"I'll protect Emilia! It doesn't matter if you win or lose!

Bart was already in a battle posture. Bert, who lowered his posture as much as he could, instantly pulled a knife out of his hips. As the momentum continues, the sword (sword) strikes the leg of the masked man with a large arc.

⁉ ︎

But Bart didn't feel up to it. I should have waved my sword at the exact height, but would I even say I swung it empty?

"Sweet"

Shortly after, a heavy and sharp blow strikes Bart. A masked man who fights back Bart's sword strike without a thing. After all, is he a black magician (Grigori)?

"Gu......"

A shock more than I'd ever felt had hit Burt's abdomen directly. Burt spit blood out of his mouth.

"Are you a black magician?

Seeing an overwhelming difference in force, Burt can't hide his impatience.

"You don't need black magic."

I can't read a man's expression because the majority of his face is covered in masks. Is that saying that Bert doesn't need black magic (Grimoire) on his opponent, or...

"Don't lick it!

Not just Belle and Barbara, but even the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) hurt Burt's pride.

Burt left it to his anger to wave down his sword. If you can't swing horizontally, you can swing vertically.

"You're an immature warrior."

But Bart's angry blow didn't reach the masked man. This is the second time Bart's sword strike has not arrived. Now it's time Bart witnessed why.

Before the sword was waved down, the masked man read the orbit and turned his body against it.

“Read……?"

Burt couldn't hide his surprise. Bert's movements are fully read. No matter how much power you squeeze and wield your sword, there's no point in the movement being read.

"You already know that, don't you? You're no match for me."

The masked man rolls his fist out at Bart as he is. The heavy fist punched Bart in the right cheek. The momentum causes Burt to fall to the left.

The masked man then added a heavy fist punch to Bart's back. Beneath his face, beneath which he leaned, was dripping blood.

The masked man's attack may have been caused by superimposed (Vice) black magic (Grimore). On the other hand, that body, which was forged out, showed other possibilities as well.

"Ku...... SO......"

Burt's vision was distorted. He was about to have a concussion due to an intense punch he'd never tasted.

Bart has a vain eye, staring at the masked man.

"I didn't expect you to stand up to me with that degree of strength... it's really stupid"

It's the masked man holding the battlefield. Whoever sees it, there's no way to beat Bart right now. I may be able to make you assume that Emilia is at the end of this door, but it was only a matter of time before he noticed the trap and went looking for Emilia.

"Phew..."

Still, Bart stood up. For Emilia's sake, he gets up as many times as he wants.

That said, Bart only had three attacks. The power of the masked man to damage Burt so far alone was just overwhelming.

"What can you do, weak?

"I didn't think you'd won. I can still do this!

Burt, who breathed, waves his beloved sword again. Burt, who is not a black magician (Grigori), can only wave his sword.

"Know your limits. A reckless challenge will destroy you."

Bart's movements were easier to read than ever before. Burt doesn't have a chance to win anymore. That's when it seems so, the masked man is distracted by something.

On the right side of the masked man, something was hitting him. When I dropped my gaze, there was a sheath of swords. The sheath is held in Burt's left hand. The sword attack just now was just a bluff.

The blow from the sheath was the real attack. Still, its power was not great, and it could not cause damage to the masked man.

"I thought about it, but it was pointless."

The masked man relieves. He was thrust through a gap for a moment and was attacked by Bart, but that blow didn't mean anything to his forged body. For him, it's the same bug that stopped.

The last secret was scattered.

"My limits are my own."

Immediately afterwards, another unexpected blow strikes the masked man. A blade was piercing his left side in a gap where the masked man was distracted by his sheath.

"Come on!"

Strike by sheath. It was also a shame. What Burt was really, really after was this blow.

It is an undisputed fact that Burt is draining his health. He took it backwards. Bart, for a masked man, is a weak enemy that is not enough to take; between the two, there is an overwhelming difference in power. It also leads to the alarm of the strong.

"Take the liberty of setting someone else's limits... you're alarmed. The weak have a way of fighting the weak!

Burt was laughing. I could definitely poke at the masked man's will. Those with overwhelming power are all prone to create gaps. I guess that's because I'm intoxicated by my powers.

"Become"

The next moment, Burt was blown away behind him. The masked man kicked me in the ass. Bart accidentally took his hand off the sword.

"I'll give you a compliment. Surely I was alarmed. But you won't win."

The masked man pulled Bart's sword stabbed on the left side as if nothing had happened, and threw it straight at Bart's feet. The sword thrown, spinning, stopped at Bart's feet.

"It's a bummer."

Burt was once again being shown an overwhelming difference in force. I just hit him with my head, and that hasn't worked at all. No more hitters...

"If it's for Emilia... I'll stand you up again and again!

Still, Burt stood up three times.

Even if you can hit a sword that you specialize in, the masked man won't even freak out. Even if we can't leave one wound behind, we need to do everything we can to stand up to the end so Emilia won't be understood without us here.

……………

The masked man stares silently at Bart as he slowly rises up and stands up to him. The burning fighting spirit that was there when we were first staring at each other was no longer in the masked man.

"Absolutely... this is... through. Eh?"

Burt set up his sword and thrust into the masked man. Burt put all the power he could now into this sword. I don't mind if the movement is being read. Bart jumped in knowing he would be prevented from being avoided.

"You worm Kera facing the Beast, give it up"

The masked man grabbed the blade directed at him with his left hand. There's blood dripping from that hand, but he never cared about it.

Burt's full blow was scratched off.

I'll break your fangs.

The masked man, who took Burt's sword as it was, used his knee to snap the blade.

"Ah⁉ ………………"

Bart was too desperate to speak up. The love knife has been broken. No more hitters. The helpless Burt has even been robbed of his weapon.

"Wuuuuuuuu"

Immediately after that, the masked man raises his sad voice.

"Huh?"

Burt couldn't grasp the situation. In a situation of utter desperation, the enemy is suffering on its own. Has God helped me?

"You're being cruel, aren't you, Burt!

"Father-in-law!

This familiar voice is Lambert's voice. The glow returned to Bart's eyes. Lambert is not a black magician (Grigori), but his sword is top notch.

The masked man was stabbed from behind by Lambert. The pierced sword penetrates the man's abdomen.

"Khuuuuuuu"

As Lambert pulled his sword through with momentum, the masked man raised his sad voice again.

"So how many times do I know you're not my father-in-law!

Lambert relaxes his mouth as he wipes his bloody blade with the edge of his shirt.

"Stupid!

The masked man was a wolf. Lambert's addition caused him fatal damage. They hunted down Burt and targeted him where he was completely off guard.

"You're sweet at a time when you assume you have one enemy"

Lambert smiles invincibly. Actually, Lambert had been lurking around here for a while before he showed up, aiming for the moment when a gap could be made in the masked man. The masked man hadn't noticed anything about it.

"Ho ⁉⁉ə"

Shortly afterwards, something happened that Lambert would not. The masked man, who looked back in momentum, struck Lambert without killing the momentum. The fist hits Lambert's abdomen.

"It's you who's sweet! Wounds of this magnitude, only abrasions for me."

Unfortunately, Lambert's unintentional blow could not have resulted in the fatal injury of a masked man. The masked man doesn't even show a bare look that cares about his belly wound, he behaves as if there was nothing.

"It's a bucket..."

The masked man's body was completely human apart. Even if the sword pierces your body, it won't do much damage to this man.

"Out of the way."

The masked man turned to Bart and beat him up screaming. The heavily shaken right hook hits Burt's left cheek. Not only that, but the man kicked Bart's body down.

"Damn it."

Even if it takes a lot of damage, it should be noted that Burt is acting with Emilia in the house. Lambert was impressed by the strength of its core.

"I ate time unexpectedly..."

The masked man finally hangs his hand on the door knob.

"Emilia"

Bart was still acting. At the end of that thoroughness, I wrap my tongue around it, but there was no longer any point in acting. If the masked man opens the door, he'll find out Emilia's not there.

"Burt, we're getting away. I don't know if I can deal with that kind of shit."

Lambert left the house with Bart's shoulder to fall into. If you stay in this place, you might even be shaken by a masked man to find out where Emilia is. There was a hell of a bucket lurking in the Moon Guard.

By then, the masked man had the door open. There are no lights in the house and my vision is poor. The man searched the house for Emilia.

"Miss Lambert. I'm here to pick you up."

The masked man stopped at the front door for a while before walking around the house. If you get used to your eyes even in the dark, your vision widens. To the extent in his eyes, no shadow was found.

"Don't hide, come out"

In the shadow of the couch, behind the curtains, in the closet. The man went around looking for as many hiding places as he could think of.

But you can't find Emilia there.

By the time the masked man realized Emilia wasn't in the house, Burt and Lambert had already come by Barbara's dining room.

Karan...

The bell rings and the dining room door opens.

"Burt! Are you okay? ⁉

Barbara ran over worried when she saw Bart coming into the dining room, supported by Lambert. Bart had a vain eye, and it was finally a state of being conscious.

Bart was immediately transported to the room where Emilia in the back of the 1st.

"Bart, what the hell happened?

"He fought the masked man of the Moon Guard. He's a jerk."

"I can't believe you're so worn out... was the masked man a black magician (grigori)?

Lili, who heard the noise, was also here to see how Bart was doing. Bart has taken so much damage that he can't even walk alone.

"I don't know that. Sure, he was overwhelmingly strong, but I haven't seen him use black magic (Grimoire). Maybe I just didn't get it..."

Lambert put Bart to bed.

"It sounds like they're serious about it or... hurting Bart until he's this bad. We have to tighten up and go, too. It doesn't matter how many lives you have."

Barbara had her head. This is my first contact with Luna Guard. In my first contact, one of my comrades took a fatal toll. Now that the vampires are shredding their power, too, if we don't think hard about measures, there may be no one left bound comrades to die.

"Belle, Raleigh. Our fate depends on you."

"You'll never win until you become Luna Guard."

Bell and Raleigh's activism will be essential to stopping an unwanted wedding, and if either of them fails the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) enlistment exam, the worst may await.

"I know."

Bell breathed. It's no different that he's had serious responsibilities since before, but at this time Bell had a clear sense of responsibility.

The wedding is in five days tomorrow. There's not much time left.

A few hours later...

Marquez was in her home bed. He was making sure all entrances and exits to his home were locked before entering the bunk.

Marquez was a careful man. The bedroom door is heavily locked and blocked with a tank or bookshelf. I wonder how scared you are of vampires. Marquez, who did his best, slept in peace.

Marquez opens his eyes when he hits the turnaround after a while. Because of his shallow sleep, he regained consciousness to the clap he moved.

With his eyes open, Marquez makes sure the door is securely blocked and tries to meditate (crush) his eyes again.

It was then.

"Hiccup."

Something jumped into his sight. Someone broke into the full chamber.

The slowly approaching mysterious figure approaches Marquez's sight without a moment.

"………………………………………………………………"

Marquez's eyes, who witnessed the identity of the vampire, were wide open.
