Monster no Goshujin-sama

32.

"Hey, it's Lord Lily. Can I have a minute?"

Gerbera, walking sideways, opened her mouth and Lily did her gaze sideways.

Somewhere, there were red eyes looking restless.

"What's everyone's situation like? It's time, again, to check the position relationship on the path"

It is not possible for Gabella to carry out a pass and check the positional relationship of a distant companion.

Where Lily can do it, she needs a high degree of concentration.

Even Takahiro Mashima, the holder of his abilities, could not monitor him at all times because he had a completely different degree of difficulty than he felt in some direction.

I'm tired of doing too much because I'm worried, and I can't take care of you if you lack focus when you have to.

I really need patience, and it's been a long time since Lily made a confirmation before.

It gets terribly stressful not knowing each other's situation in enemy land like this just the fellows who are always normal with us.

Gabella looked pretty stingy, and it didn't mean Lily was fine herself.

"Right. I guess it's time."

"Is that true!

"Wait a minute. 'Cause I'll concentrate."

The stress of enduring it would rather be harmful than any more.

Deciding so, Lily concentrated on the pass.

In the meantime, Garbera served as an alert on the move.

"...... hmm. I got it."

Slightly, Lily served her purpose.

"Looks like we're all getting together."

"Is that true!

"Mm-hmm. If I dare say so, I guess Mr. Silan is about as late as I thought. On the contrary, it seems like Rose and I are about to join your husband."

"Oh. That's wonderful."

Gabella's expression brightened all the time.

I unconcentrated and Lily smiled as well.

"As far as the Roses are concerned, this is as much time as I expected to take to rendezvous."

"Hmm. That's going well. I was in a hurry when I found out there were lots of monsters."

"Right. Even Rose and Robbia are strong, but if they get stuck in the herd, they'll eat their footprints for quite a while... so I guess the fact that they're traveling as much as I first expected means they didn't have to run into the herd. You're lucky."

"You're the one who does it everyday!

"Hehe. Right. We need to hurry too."

Lily and the others, but they were also proceeding with the itinerary without particular problems.

Twice before, I have encountered a horde of monsters, but it has not taken as long to break through.

These neighborhoods would still have been because they are two of the best fighting abilities in their people.

Takahiro Mashima, his husband, immediately joins the Roses.

Through the obstacles, the colleagues are gathering step by step.

It went well.

At least not so far.

But naturally, Lily knew it wouldn't end this way.

So far, being resisted with the metastasis has driven the calculation crazy and the opponent is just delayed.

Over time, even the enemy moves.

I knew that, so I was in a hurry to rendezvous before then.

- So even this development was one of those things I was prepared for.

"It was best to say that since they all joined. Is everything okay?"

"Lord Lily?

"Stay together, Gabella. Looks like" The Real Enemy "just showed up."

The monsters they've been fighting for are only living in this place.

If I tell you, it's closer to an obstacle than an enemy.

The real enemy to defeat was elsewhere.

"... well. Then it's convenient."

Gabella's eyes were filled with fierce warfare.

"Let me smash you"

"Yeah."

With determination, the two of them take their feet off.

At the tip of his sharp gaze, a real enemy appeared.

It was a group dressed in the armor of the Cathedral Knight that emerged from the bend of the dim passage.

Lily already knew they weren't regular knights.

"I wonder if you're Ottomer?

As with other faces, Lily also attached to the executors and collaborators of this case.

At the head of the knights stood a man with a somewhat inorganic impression on his face.

Next to each other, two puppets with a strong texture follow.

"It fits, Lord Lily. This is the Angel Doll."

That's what Gabella, who had actually met her face, said to boost her overall willingness to fight.

"Totally, it's unpunished twice or three times. I don't know what means you used, but it's hard to come all the way down here from Akel."

"There will be so many causes between us"

Ottomer gave it back.

It was an emotionless tone.

Lily narrowed her eyes.

"Cause. Then your resentment of being turned back is your motive. Well done. I can't believe I even instigated Okazaki-kun to do such a big deal."

"Master Okazaki was a collaborator. I didn't instigate it. You've helped us."

"Yeah. Well, you can say anything with your mouth."

Lily shrugged her shoulders.

I didn't mean to fit into a conversation I didn't know how true it was.

"Let me ask you something, are you willing to surrender? Why don't you tell me all about it, and I'll think about the rest?

"Impossible. You will die here."

"... you've been resented."

Most importantly, it would have been a tremendous pain to continue losing your employer with Travis-Mortimer, Lewis-Bird, if you had made Ottomer a deserter.

It's not strange that they resent you so much that it just doesn't appear on your face as it does on a puppet you manipulate.

Nevertheless, it is only a rebellion.

I don't even have an in-laws to go out with.

"Yes, well, I'll let you take him down here."

Lily stuck the tip of the spear to Ottomer.

In a way, this was an opportunity.

Even listening to you during your battle with Rose, it is definitely Ottomer who plays a core role in this group of former Cathedral knights.

If we take him down here, the situation will go a long way.

The number of enemies is about thirty.

Quite a few, but we can fight for ourselves.

Especially the way the Cathedral Knights fight is compatible with Lily.

When I fought before, I could take the magic of weakening backwards.

This limited space is also quite advantageous for Garbera, who specializes in three-dimensional manoeuvres.

We had a good chance.

"I'll do it!

"Uhm!"

End here.

We hung up, and the two jumped out.

This is an assault by Takahiro Mashima's family's strongest tag.

But to the opponent Ottomer, he didn't look cowardly.

"I told you it was you who were gonna die."

Again, speaking in an inorganic voice, he raised his hand gently.

That was the signal.

One shadow popped out of the knights' backs.

"Please. Hammer the monsters."

"entrusted"

Ottomer's voice was echoed by a low voice that was pushed to death.

"Is that...?

Lily snaps in her mouth.

He was someone with a different vibe.

He wore a hard to understand robe and his face was hidden by a mask.

The mask that covers the eye area is sewn with countless feather decorations, which cover up to the back of the head.

Exactly, he was an unidentified Phantom.

Who is it?

At first I thought it was "The Warrior" Edgar-Givalsh, but he was so different in stature that even the robe couldn't be deluded.

The pressure of magic felt on my skin was also lower than that 'war ghost'.

Edgar wasn't that far because he was at a level where he could do it with cheats if he was activated.

Nevertheless, I can't be alarmed because I felt close to myself and Gabella.

In addition, the weapon in hand was different again.

He held a gigantic sword of blackish incarnation, eloquently telling the story that its disastrousness was some kind of magical tool.

This Phantom must be Ottomer's trump card.

Lily recognized that - she never loosened her legs.

It was abrupt, but no rush.

The truth is, I was expecting Ottomer to set something up.

If we hit from the front with ourselves, Ottomer doesn't have a chance.

Yet it was natural to assume that there was something to do at a time when he was attacked without escape or hiding.

So Lily was going to devote her first hand entirely to defense and evasion.

That's why I was ready.

Multiple simultaneous pseudomorphic changes that are trump cards.

Deploy it specifically for defense.

The right hand is on a giant methyl with a metallic texture.

Cover the skin of the entire right arm with hard scales.

This is not easily torn, even by Warrior.

That's how he kept his defense consolidated, and Lily got out before Gabella.

Lily's role was as a shield.

Take a blow with high defense and if possible bounce back to create a gap.

Gabella strikes back at the gap.

If you can take it down, fine. If you can't, get the information, and you two are also looking at retreating.

It was for the experience gained from crossing the dead line many times before.

Even as we judged ourselves advantageous, Lily was never caught off guard.

She was doing her best.

- So this is purely about the enemy just being unreasonable.

So far so good.

But this is the real battle from here on out, more than we have encountered with our true enemies.

"Lord Lily!?

Gabella's screams echo in the aisle.

An unusual sword was tearing Lily's upper body in two by tearing apart all of her superimposed defenses.

No sturdy armor, no hard armor, nor Rose's made armor made sense.

The sword tore Lily's upper body into two pieces, from her right shoulder to her waist.

Even the word "serene" is raw.

It was a blow that barely even made me feel resistant to cutting.

Half of the detached tortoise's armor and part of his right arm bounce up to the high ceiling of the aisle, twirling around.

The truncated Lily's body lost its power and was slammed to the floor - flying away while maintaining its momentum.

"What, is it dangerous!?

Lily hastily retreated, even as she unbalanced and unbalanced her cut body.

The jumped right arm returned to the body tissue of the slime and dropped to the floor.

But I couldn't afford to just collect it.

"Lord Lily, are you all right!

"You're not safe! If it wasn't for me, I'd be dead!

Return it to the calling gabella and grab the slashed right half and stick it together.

It's an abusive procedure, but we needed to hurry.

Because the Phantom was waving his sword and attacking him before his eyes.

"Ugh!

Lily rolled behind her back and escaped that blow.

Simulate and blow Fire Fang's flaming exhales against enemies trying to launch more attacks.

This seems to have given the impression, and the Phantom's leg got stuck.

"I'll run, Gabella!

Lily's judgment was fast.

Gabella also rushed out as soon as she followed the instructions.

I immediately said, "Go after him!," Ottomer raised his voice.

Headed by the Phantom, the Cathedral Knights are coming after us.

"Lord Lily. Should we run away here?!?

Gabella screamed as she sprinkled spider thread on her stomach.

Though I followed the instructions, I guess I didn't even follow through with understanding.

"That's the only way!

Lily answered as she gave birth to the tip of her lost right arm.

Damage to the body tissue that has been heavily damaged is significant.

I was losing my magic tricks.

But I didn't just get away with it in cowardice.

"That one just now! That was probably a magical force! That's not good. Eat it and I get it. It's not" cut like I can't resist ", it's" I really couldn't resist "!

"... oh my God"

Gabella extinguishes.

At the tip of the red eye, the loose spider's nest had been lightly severed by a different sword.

It was the same as earlier.

Lily's defense was broken, but it wasn't just broken.

What was unusual was the feeling.

There was no impact of objects and objects colliding, just blades coming through.

That's what I meant by no resistance.

"And I can't believe it. Is that possible?"

"... I guess there is. They actually did."

While talking, Lily continued to try to hold on to Gabella.

It is the magic of the third staircase of the wind that uses it. I'll expand countless wind blades all over the aisle.

This one seems to be somewhat active.

The Phantom waved his sword, letting him even cut the blade of the wind, but simply the number of blades is high.

I got a bump in the leg coming after me.

Nevertheless, this would also be only temporary.

In the meantime, Lily shares information.

"The colony had similar abilities. 'Absolute cutting' was two names, the inherent ability to cleave anything with a blade. I just don't need that weird sword because that shouldn't have picked a weapon. In that sense, I guess it's subordinate compatibility. Sounds like that unusual sword has similar powers."

What Lily was talking about was Koji Hibiya from Absolute Disconnection, one of the two names on the expedition.

He is a member of an expedition far south of here in the depths of the Tree Sea that is missing during the collapse of the colony with 'Dark Beast' Bombing Miya.

Even though it collapsed in the end, only that leader Kojiro Nakatsumi entrusted the colony with a strong inherent ability as well as trustworthiness.

Even if it's subordinate compatibility, its ability is a threat.

"'Heritage of the Brave'? Trouble again..."

Gabella groaned.

A blow that cleaves anything can't even be taken.

All you can do is avoid it.

But the only way to avoid enemy attacks is to be greatly narrowed down the options.

The same goes for defenses being rendered meaningless, but even attacks are difficult.

You can't even tow it in a detour to be slashed off just because you've been sworded together by an attack.

As far as movement goes, the Phantom has a strength that is quite close to the Lillies with simple combat abilities that are incapable.

If they take that big advantage, it's pretty dangerous to fight from the front, considering there are Ottomers too.

Things can still be said to be better if Lily, who was there for this occasion, can be magically countered.

"Gu. Do we have to leave here? The rendezvous with the Lord...!

There's nothing I can do about it, the direction you're going to run is the opposite of what you've been heading for.

We will stay away from the rendezvous.

A repentant gabella struck one tongue.

"... no. If you think about it, you don't have to take such a dangerous thing to the Lord."

"Right."

Gabella's thoughts are sharp when it comes to combat.

Lily agreed and looked back behind her back.

"Rather, let's attract him. He won't attack your husband while we're attracted."

The first step is to draw those Phantoms and Ottomers far from this place.

Then we'll somehow escape and rendezvous with our people.

This is the only way.

It's an itch that we can't help ourselves about our dear husband, but we won't have to believe the Roses who will be able to rendezvous there soon.

The two began a painful battle as they peered into the gap in the counterattack.
