The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Cloudy Elephant God City Reggie Pick.

One of the huge cities the Radford Empire boasts.

It's an important city on the Imperial Trade Road.

To the west lies the imperial capital Acerdam, to the east the green dragon city of Lurexand, to the north the main impulse city of Tandat, from that Tandat to the northwest in front of the Mahaheim Mountains, the labyrinth city of Sutherdelli.

Sutherdelli is also the first destination for the Light Demon Lucival Card to gain Dark Alliance talent.

If you look over the territory of such an empire......

You will see that the streets stretched around the elephant god city of Reggie Pick lead to each city of the Radford Empire like a tree-like projection of a neuron.

Of course, there are extremely few well-maintained streets in the eastern war-torn western regions of Lulzak and Florsail and nearby Imperial Capital.

It is also known as the "Heart of the Empire" and the people because it has these street networks.

Others, the second imperial capital, the land where the ancient elephant god Reggie Pick sleeps, and various names are found in every region, but after all, there were many people who called it the heart of the empire.

"All roads do not pass the Reggie Pick.

As words such as these have arisen, the developed overland trade routes lead to a smooth and speedy flow of abundant supplies.

This was said to be the greatest strength of the Empire.

But there was some debate over a neat street network centered around that reggie pick.

That was the debate centered on Elberg Military University professor Oren Hartlake in Imperial Capital and Count Saint-Is-Eberhan, who is also a representative of the Mercenary Military Chamber of Commerce.

"That will be the greatest weakness of the Empire"

"A tidy street is also a thought"

And we exchanged opinions like that and complained to the Imperial Ministry of the Interior that we should collaborate with the General Council of Magic and carry out the expansion of transfer magic.

Brigadier-General Sort Le Alain, an aide to the Imperial Army Eastern Commander General Cyan Ismam Delbuine, who heard of its upside,

"What do those who do not know the battlefield say? This is bullshit. The only thing you can do is stick to your desk. Throw them out!

and sarcastically lowers himself.

And the Imperial Army Western Second Side Army Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dehan iz Ryazen, under Major General Kurz Izma Heitzrich, also replied with a laugh.

"Even if the major cities and surrounding cities are breached, in front of the Imperial City, our Red Horn Heavy Demon Knights will pick up their enemies and destroy them."

and Dehan raved to imitate the venerable general.

Initially, just the mouth, see, blowing squadron, the defective subhuman brunette squad and...

Heavy soldiers were also so scattered that they told me not to come to the escort.

Dehan was the one who led the falling squad that had not been able to achieve results in training like that.

But such a Dehan squadron will have consequences.

Dehan's squadron defeated a battalion-sized unit in Florsail led by the magnificent Kiyama, who broke through the western border and approached the Imperial Capital.

The Red Horn Heavy Demon Knights Regiment, led by Lieutenant Colonel Dehan who went on to take advantage of the topography of the city of Rymal, again defeated a warring nation, Florsail, that boasted a streak of victories, without replenishment.

I broke through a few disadvantages twice.

This Lymal hero became famous for his story of the streets.

The heart of an empire with stories about such a street network, Elephant God City Reggie Pick.

The lord of its elephant god city is the Duke of Hafnat Ismam Mutenbad.

Plus one executive organization of the Magic Guild Sorcery Guild [The Witches of Linglong] was also based in this elephant god city of Reggie Pick, not Acerdam, the capital of the Empire.

The name of the base is the Tower of Linglong.

It is famous that the external chambers of commerce connected with the witches of Ling Ling have invested on a large scale.

The tower's materials are mostly made of demonic glass made from the Dead Demon Water of Florsail and the boiling sands of the Gordix Grand Desert, the muscles of Gaverden, also served by the Muru tribe of the desert people, the fine stones of Holkerbum, the Extremely Great Demonic Stone from the labyrinth city of Pernate, the Return Stone of the Demonic Labyrinth of Heka Trail, the adhesive of Winkerhel, the Demonic Oil of the Artificial Labyrinth, and rare metals that echo the special magic in which mining is hidden.

Ling Ling's tower was built in a way that also attracted from the lord Hafnat because of its commercial significance.

The power of the Imperial Emperor Mutenbard family is also assumed to be in the background, but it is uncertain.

And the external chamber of commerce that financed the construction of the tower is the Grand Chamber of the Military Complex, which brings together a group of countless small and medium-sized chambers such as the Western Frog Chamber of Commerce, the Windy Hahoon Chamber of Commerce, the Desert Chamber of Hueille, the Cursed Cabinet Ehim Chamber of Commerce and the Bernanso Chamber of Commerce.

[Gathering of Stars] also connects with the witches of Ling Ling who are involved with this external Chamber of Commerce.

Hachiohui of the Dark Alliance, no, he is investing in an external chamber of commerce through multiple small and medium-sized chambers of commerce that are no longer the face of the [Star Gathering] table of the [Blood Star Sea and Moon Federation].

And it's an elusive form......

If you add up the contributions of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce of the gathering of stars... the contributions are different digits.

It was not noticeable, but it was also one of the largest investment groups of the external chamber of commerce.

Next to the Tower of Linglong, funded and built by such an external chamber of commerce, also exists the [Tower of Stars] of the same height.

These two distorted towers were also known in the City of Elephant God as the Tower of the Devil Twins.

These two towers are built in the jurisdictional area of the Magic Alliance.

Unlike the Tower of Ling, however, only the land on which only the Tower of this star was built also had extraterritorial jurisdiction.

And the top floor of the star tower.

The [Star Gathering] executives and numerous officials were assembled in that dim room.

There is an empty round table with holes in the center of the dim room.

A small fireplace was installed with vertical blue-purple rectangular crystals lining the holes sideways.

The executives and Adrianne watch as their crumpled blue and white colors and dusty flames dance to each other.

There dazzling light shoots flames dancing in reverse -.

The dazzling light source makes the place a golden mask.

Adrianne, who created a dazzling light like a sun wheel from her mask,

- Has Barrios been killed?

and emitted an incredible voice hung by an echo.

Furthermore, the dazzling light emitted from the golden mask and the inexplicable echo voice were linked, or instantly, transformed into a room glowing in platinum color.

The brilliance of silver exposed giant eyeballs ready for the ceiling.

The magic light of color emanates from the center of the giant eyeball into the room.

The glasswork that edged the chandelier-like eyeballs was extra brilliant.

At first glance, the magical light is reminiscent of Desarobia's family, the evil god of the devil eye.

But Sole is not like the light of a demon god.

The generated color magic light produced by the eyeballs had secondary effects that empowered individual items held by the Adriannes executives while at the same time creating special junctions linked to the Tower of Stars.

Living eyeballs with such power are also a form of demonic artifact that seals the family of the old desolate god Sozen.

This family sealed magic item was specially prepared by Adrianne to protect the home of the gathering of the stars.

Adrianne gained the magic of the generated colors.

The eyes peeking from the golden mask moved guillotinely.

The power of the Devil's Eye is still slight...

The gaze on the executives is harsh.

The executives of the gathering of stars, who felt the unique pressure, took a breath to make a noise with Gokuri.

executives who perceived their statements to be required.

Everyone, let their gaze through, and then a little woman raises her hand.

"- Yes, then, from me. Barrios' body was found in an alley out of the safe house."

"I can't even use a green fan knife, it looks like he was assassinated"

Then I talked to a woman with beautiful willow brows.

I wear a tablet system worn by the average woman in the empire......

Inside is one of the top executives who specializes in assassinations using poisonous hands, using translucent demonic knives as his specialty.

His name is Orn.

The spear man executives who nodded at that Orn,

"It's ironic that Barrios, with all those arms, should be assassinated."

"You're careless."

"I know how Casereze feels. Barrios and I weren't close."

"... but he's one of us..."

I heard what the executives said, Adrianne.

When her demonic eyes shine even more, the iris is stained with demonic prints.

In an instant, its unusual demonic mark breaks down into vertical and horizontal demonic rays.

However, the decomposed demonic rays overlap to create geometric shapes.

It eventually became a small laminated magic formation.

Adrianne also looks like she wore strange 3D glasses.

The laminated magic formation like its glasses changes from blue to yellow and green, and the laminated heavenly edge disappears as it is towed into the light to the shade of brocade.

The magic crest and its disappearing sight have a vividness.

It was very beautiful.

But at the same time as beauty, the eye of the demon eye at the root is sharp and harsh.

With such a glance, Adrianne let one hand swim...

Then I can swim my other hand too -.

And a transparent grand piano-like thing emerges that consists of magic from the back.

In addition, a human form emerged, like a demon playing that piano.

Its transparent piano overlaps Adrianne with a demon-like body playing.

The laminated magic formation and piano floating in Adrianne's eyes were integrated.

At that moment, further chord melodies increased.

Adrianne moves her fingers up and down gracefully, like a pianist -.

My arms cross and I play a transparent piano -.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, play, play, play transparent keyboards with thin fingertips that host magic -.

For a moment, a piece of pink black paper floats from her nostalgia.

That is the eleventh chapter of the Demon King's score.

Go on, from Adrianne's golden mask...

dwarves, no, little clowns appear dancing to the universe.

Those clowns delightfully spread their torn mouths,

"Where's the sacrifice," "Where's the bait," "Where's the bait," "Eyes," "Hair," "Fingers," "Over there."

And the clowns we talked to...

All of a sudden, we start eating together.

A feast of clowns' blood.

The clowns, who dance with a flawed body but cheerful delight, turn the score of the Demon King floating in front of Adrianne.

The open Demon King score created several distorted head phantoms.

The appearing phantom sucks the surrounding blood instead of the catalyst as it swallows.

The blood-giving Demon King score produced waves of sound that accompanied the clown's head, bone arms, and panicked shocks.

But an incredible phenomenon like that sonic wave becomes a slow movement as time has stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious music of genuine law intensified -.

Adrianne didn't care and kept moving her fingers as she emitted her magic.

A red magic leaking out of her fingers playing a transparent keyboard creates a red and black trajectory in the universe.

The red and black trajectory crossed the clear piano.

The trajectory stains as it disappears into the universe, and a red crack enters its space.

Cracks are twisted, twisted, pungent, and the sound of the clowns slapping their hands wooden spirits.

Instant, sudden expansion...

Peek into purgatory space from enlarged cracks.

Then multiple chords with unique droplets bouncing together as if in conjunction with the pitch of the piano played by Adrianne -.

At the same time, fish crawled out of purgatory spaces, like scarlet and golden carp.

Fish enclosed with awesome magic.

Fish eat the clowns dancing in the universe in defect.

These are the demon fish Adrianne keeps.

The executives who saw the demon fish swallowed their spit and turned it into a state of panic.

The piano music stops to erase the frightening atmosphere.

Adrianne stopped the finger movement.

And the pianist demon in the swallow tail suit, which overlapped with Adrianne as a phantom, took the Demon King's score and, when he served on the nostalgia, disappeared to be sucked into Adrianne's body and golden mask with the grand piano.

Immediately after that, a small woman moves her mouth.

"Dear Adrianne... give me strength"

Adrianne nods.

rarely took the form of showing everyone her own power over the executives, she

"Heh heh, there's going to be a little more unplanned."

And, speaking with laughter.

The tone I laughed...

The executives who heard the voice freeze their backs.

"… predictions such as Kazane's 'Death will soon come to those who associate with the Garmodeus of the Gathering of Stars' have been centered"

A little woman who followed the movements of two demon fish, but kept saying that.

She is one of the top executives of [The Gathering of Stars], Lesha Funaal.

Behind that Lesha is a line of combat luxury slaves she has specially purchased.

The strength of the men and women half combat slaves is quite high.

Adventurers' A-rank equivalents are exceeded.

They were all equipped with beautiful caged hand protective equipment with black scales.

It is united in magical combat clothing with star-shaped patches on the chest and shoulders.

"I thought it would be the work of the survivors of [the capital of Zeese]..."

That's the man I talked to.

He wears a piercing with magic in one ear.

He is also one of the top executives of the organization, dressed in Ethereal Battlesuits with magical pole shoulders.

His name is Reggie.

The name of the demon spear in your hand is Keep Zell Fadoah.

It is said that one end of the art of proprietary spear martial arts, which makes use of the weapons of his characteristic body, is comparable to the divine throne.

The dark guilders he slaughtered, the executives, were up to countless numbers.

A famous battle among them......

It would be a battle won by battling with the famous [Lonely Clouds] 3rd Squad captain in Florsail for a whole day in Sashi.

Speaking of Lonely Cloud captain classes, they are called to have the strength to separate them from the black god of war Genzabrow Mikami.

In addition, the second battle separated from the Red Assassin of [Ghost].

I have slaughtered Devan in [Toa Temple] and fought around demonic monuments that slept in ancient ruins left behind by the Befalitz Great Empire with cult groups led by the demons Cubellas.

He also fought Gulbun, the allied leader of the Dark Guild [Shafa's Thunder], killing Shafa's Thunder executives by simply losing one leg and one arm, despite the bad situation of two to one, and using the spear of a powerful man who left Gulbun.

And now, one arm and one foot in his body are things prepared by Adrianne.

Thin basement in the narrow (vail) of the elephant god city.

Adrianne successfully negotiated with Maidoga, Prince of the Demonic Realm, performing magic objects and rituals in an ancient ruin underground that is said to have been left behind by the House of Lords of the Great Sage of the Dawn Empire.

Adrianne traded her own created arms and legs for demon arms and legs specially obtained from Maidoga.

Successfully implant that acquired demonic arm and foot into Reggie's hands and feet.

Adrianne also has skills.

Thus, Reggie, who had acquired new demonic arms and feet, had become a demonic spear that would lead him to the path of the more powerful.

Adrianne snorts at Reggie the devil spear.

"... yeah, right. I tried to draw Wen in, so I meant to prompt him to warn me..."

Adrianne, whose echo is making a hung voice.

My eyes were brilliant except under the golden mask.

"Guest's assassin parent and child. I can't believe I've treated Barrios so politely because I'm under the command of my allies, and I killed him and bit Adrianne."

"... oh, I can't forgive you"

"It's about that Mr. Kauld and Mr. Yui, but the handouts are useless. We don't fight against spears."

Executives surprised by Adrianne's words.

"What, you won't do it?

"Dear Adrianne, then…"

A small woman and a woman in a wizard costume speak displeasedly.

Adrianne said,

"Learn that the strong have the law of the strong. Lesha and Basuan......"

And, we talked, we cleared up the room.

Go on,

"... the Pyron family of the cautious Takazu Twelve (Vampire Road), who had just seen the flag color, deliberately moved to contact the Cards. This fact is important. What does this mean? You're not old enough to understand, are you?

"Yes, I understand."

"Dear Adrianne, Avoiding strife as an ally is a natural choice. But they killed my people. I'm moving as a Dark Alliance. I want to compete with that spear..."

That's Reggie's word for face.

Adrianne was shaking her neck slowly and vertically to show her understanding of the matter.

"Reggie. I thought you'd say that if you were going for Wu... OK"

Adrianne deliberately gives permission to move with personal grievances against Reggie in an echoed voice, as she had learned beforehand about her current interactions.

"Looks like Reggie. But, Master Adrianne, are you okay? Both Mr. Kauld and Mr. Yui have done their best to help us, quite well."

"I know. So we don't have a full-scale fight. But Reggie won't stop where I disagree. You can hold it down with my power and my magic... Bye."

At the same time, the demon fish swim.

Demon fishes similar to carp have brilliant eyes as Adrianne's will dwells.

I spread my mouth - my teeth are tightly packed like twigs.

Saliva traces from the tip of the upper and lower jaw fangs.

Reggie saw the demon fish but didn't move.

"... Dear Adrianne... Thank you"

talked and sent a deep thank you to Adrianne.

... an ally who gives precedence to personal feelings over orders.

I will not tolerate whoever blades against Lady Adrianne for preparing my hands and feet.

It doesn't matter how much you contribute to the [Star Gathering (us)].

- My muscles (...) go through.

and Reggie with her determination in her eyes.

His specialty, the steel demon spear Keep Zell Fadoah, also reacted to meet his feelings.

"And there are several trade routes with the east… Again, when there is a heavenly moon in Pernate, something (...) and it's convenient. Although there is also a contested relationship between the Empire and the Blood Long Ear, and the relationship has changed to something more complex."

"Master Adrianne attaches great importance to spears."

"That's right. A little, if distorted," Hate the eagle has a spirit to feed. "Lesha, you also saw the spear man at the rendezvous and at the underground auction."

"Yeah. Because I had a stronger impression of being a samurai than an ally."

Lesha credits Shuya for that.

It's not a mistake, though.

Apart from Pernette, she also had the task of proceeding with an investigation into the box ships and plates found from ancient sites in the south.

Adrianne nods against Lesha.

And for all of us,

"Everyone, as you know, has information from Kazane. That's why I stopped Lesha from acting. But it is also natural to consider this matter 'unconvincing'." It's hard to measure, isn't it? So if you want to move to spear and crusade for his men, just like Reggie... I won't stop... but on the surface, I will pierce the 'unknown'. Say hello? "

Adrianne is talking after getting information from Kazane, who has Ashler's genealogy.

Everyone snorts at her words, knowing very well.

"Yes."

"Yes, sir."

Adrianne nods to the executives and thinks.

... Yes, Reggie moves, even if here I am forced to stop.

And at the end of the day... "chaotic spears starting with a blind blood festival".

Hehe... I wonder if I will be stained with blood too.

But you're not the only one who can transcend death and quarrel with the gods (chaos), Spear...

Adrianne, thinking so......

In the meantime, he made an evil smiley face.

At the same time, half the golden mask melts and ugly.

And the melted gold creeping into her cheekbones and skin with a twinkle of noise.

At that time...

Adrianne's ability is one. A junction cloud named 'The Vortex Spirit of Net Darkness' reacts.

The junction cloud rarely activates.

It's a warning for an absolute line of defense we've prepared outside the city.

"- Everyone, outside the city of the elephant gods, but my kingdom reacted"

All eight executives who received this statement are astonished.

I'm not surprised that Adrianne's aesthetically shaped face is half exposed and half of her face is fused with molten metal.

"- Huh? Gorda the god beast, Yvecea the rainbow, Hai Mooman of the Muru tribe, Federaos the demonic beast, Gooda the ancient giant beast of Mahaheim ranked SS strongest. Or is it an ancient dragon or the coming of a high and ancient dragon, High Enchanted Dragonia!

Lesha's words sounded more exciting than surprising.

Disastrous things that would pose a threat to the city.

Especially the ancient giant beast Gooda is heterogeneous.

Countless gods, both in the demonic realm and in the god kingdom, do not attempt to make contact with the giant beasts of Bangu.

I sold fights to the giant beasts of Bangu, because I know the backdrop of the families of the evil gods to some rough and cursed gods.

Adrianne nodded to Lesha, who spoke excitedly,

"It's possible..."

and emitted magic from half the golden mask as we talked.

Lighted cracks enter the inner walls of the building as if they had responded to the magic emanating from that mask, and the sound sounds continuously missy, missy. The walls ripped up, down, left and right and expanded -.

A further enlarged exterior wall and part of the interior wall are sucked in by the eye of the demon fixture that seals the family of Sozen, the old rough god of the ceiling -.

Then the inhaled wall material was spit out of Sozen's family's eyes.

The spit out wall changes its shape like a stump of a pigeon.

Continuing, the eyeball emitted a magical mini laser like a mirror ball with a glimpse.

It creates a distorted Devon chitch in space -.

It also created an inexplicable illumination.

The walls of the room, where the star gathering executives were eventually assembled, were removed except on the staircase side.

Eight executives exposed to the outside air at once.

Part of the top floor of the tower is reshaped to imitate the turret.

"... this is ancient magic that only activates when there is imminent danger in the City of the Elephant God, when the Magic Alliance is at its core..."

That's what I said, a woman who meditated on one eye.

Her name is White. He's also a top executive.

Adrianne snorts at its bowman white.

"It will. This also works [Ling Ling's Witches]..."

Adrianne's voice was trembling where the grin disappeared.

Adrianne, whose face is half deformed like a golden ghost, creates a look that bites off the bitter bug, although no other executive besides Lisha can tell the difference in its complexion judgment.

And behind Adrianne's brain......

Again, Kazane's words, strong, strong, rush through.

No way...... really, with chaotic spears starting with blind blood festivals......
