Weed Reincarnation ~ Carefully Raised in the Elf Village ~

Chapter 103-: Like a jet-black grave marker

(TL By GUST)

Gram looked at it from the top of the large stone pillar.

　The desert battlefield that spreads out below, and the four giant stone pillars towering near the front line.

　The four  "Tree Fighting Spirit Demons'' under his control were dealt with by the same four Sarcophagus Knights.

　Then, when they were sufficiently far apart, the sarcophagus knights thrust the long staffs in their hands into the ground and used the same magic almost all at once.

　Right below the claymores, the desert ground shook as if it had liquefied, and in the next moment, a large amount of sand spouted out like a geyser.

"Wow! ? "

"What the hell! ? "

"Blindness! ? "

"Wait, my body is getting dirty."

　Each of the claymores let out a strained voice, and before they could escape the geyser of sand, it hardened in an instant.

　The shape is a stone pillar sticking out from the ground of a rectangular parallelepiped.

　Seeing the Claymores literally trapped in stone, Gram yells in telepathy.

　By the way, Gram and Claymore had the ability to telepathically communicate freely even if they were of the same race--a member of the tree spirit demon lineage--even if they were several kilometers away.

'What are you playing! ! Get out of there quickly! ! "

"Usu"

"roger that"

"know"

"Oh"

　At this point, the Claymores still had time to spare.

　Certainly being trapped in stone is deadly for humans, but not for the Claymores who are tree-fighting spirit demons.

　Even if you can't breathe a little, you won't die of suffocation right away, and above all, you can crush a mere stone with only your own physical ability, with fighting spirit and enhanced plant magic.

　Alternatively, you can use the transformation function of each weapon to create cracks in the stone.

"Heheh, it's cool to defeat the enemy even when they let their guard down."

"Let's surprise you"

"This is the first time I've had a big battle. I will perform brilliantly."

"Your skin will get rough"

would die in an hour or two.

　It was fortunate that the Claymores weren't dead, but that's not the problem.

　Now that the main Yug has disappeared from the battlefield, he had to play an active role as his subordinate. Yes, as the eldest of the three initial Go-kun brothers, he is older than Bersol and Embla. Besides, he can't move from here because he's the princess' escort, so he has no choice but to leave the battle to the Claymores.

　Despite this, the Claymores, who are under his direct control, left the battlefield in less than an hour.

　Gram's body trembled with shame and anger.

"Hey, you idiots! ! "

　A telepathy from the ground reaches Gram, who unintentionally shouts.

"You're not worthy, Gram."

"Nu, Nuu! ? "

　To Bersol's teasing words, but unfortunately, I can't even respond.

“Well, it’s true that I wanted you to work a little harder.”

"Muuuu! ! "

　Hearing Embla's voice that followed, he just let out a groan.

　However, Embla quickly continues in a serious tone. He doesn't seem to be making fun of Gram.

“That being said, even though they are a little carried away, the Claymores are not weak. It's a bit distasteful to be incapacitated so quickly."

"That's true. On top of that, far from letting the knights back down――"

"Umu……this is not good"

　Gram saw the battlefield.

　The Religious Knights don't seem to have any intention of retreating even after sealing the Claymores.

　On the contrary, six more knights were added and approached this way. Perhaps thinking that the undead and the soldiers of the religion alone would not be enough, they rushed to throw in their forces.

"Since they're Claymores, they just got away with being sealed, but if they're real people, they'll die, huh."

Embla said with a slightly serious expression.

"Certainly"

“We have no choice but to come forward.”

　However, if that happens, it will not be possible to deal with the undead and soldiers this time, and the burden on other people such as Walnut, Laurel, Wolf and Elder Gordo will increase.

　However, there is no choice but to divide it.

"Please"

"It goes without saying."

"Just a little more patience"

　Gram entrusted his sisters and brothers with the role of guardians, feeling itchy for himself that he could not fight.

　●◯●

"Fumu... After all, there aren't many tough individuals."

　Sarcophagus Knight Bald Raidor murmured while looking over the battlefield.

　After sealing the unknown monsters in full body armor with the magic that is synonymous with the Sarcophagus Knights—the “Sarcophagus”, he threw six more knights into the battlefield.

　There is only one knight who is my adjutant in the headquarters.

　At the stage where the siege of the glorious Sarcophagus Knight--although the target was not the castle--was not over yet, there was quite a lot of resistance to throwing him into the battlefield like a common soldier, but in the end, it was. I was right.

　Pillars standing on the battlefield - the number of sarcophaguses is no longer four.

　Now it's 7, 8, 9, and it continues to grow over time.

　Strangely formidable fellows among the enemy army stood in the way of the knights who had been thrown into the battlefield, and started fighting.

　They were dressed in priestly robes or ceremonial robes, and others in extravagant dresses. It was about

　It is an opponent that even the knights cannot easily defeat with attacks that seem to be plant magic that grows ivy and thorns and can be manipulated freely.

　From their appearance and the magic they use, it seems that they are pagan humans who follow nature worship, such as druids.

　From Bardo's point of view, they are traitors to humanity and clear enemies.

　And the knights of the cult cannot be defeated like the unholy pagans.

　With the protection of the great Earth Maker, the sarcophagus knights, who can manipulate earth magic more freely than the dwarves, sealed the pagans one by one in the "sarcophagus".

　Of course, there was no need to use [Sarcophagus], and I tried to kill him with other attack magic such as rock spears, but to my surprise, even after piercing his body with several rock spears, there was a great deal of pain. I started fighting as if I didn't even feel it.

"Are you really a human...?"

　It was a scene that made me faintly—no, greatly suspicious, but it looked like nothing but a human being.

　It would have been different if they were fighting close by, but Bardo was just observing from far behind with his fighting spirit strengthened, so he didn't notice that they weren't clearly bleeding. rice field.

　In any case, the Sarcophagus Knights did not lose even though they struggled a little.

　As a result, with the knights in charge of these formidable enemies, the Bifrost side is becoming unable to resist the offensive of the carrion dolls and the religious soldiers.

　The front had advanced to the point where carrion puppets now clung to the walls of Bifrost.

　Originally, I was going to break down the city wall with the giant Basilisk and invade the city easily, but there is no problem.

"If you think that our sarcophagus is just to confine you, you're wrong, aren't you?"

　It was certainly unexpected that the basilisk was defeated. But that doesn't mean anything.

　When they find out, they will sink into true despair.

　●◯●

　Bersol, Embla, and their subordinates are sealed one after another by the Sarcophagus Knight.

　Normally, they wouldn't be sealed off so easily, but since they had used up a lot of magic in the first battle, they weren't able to resist the knights' onslaught.

　There are now 14 "Sarcophagus" standing on the battlefield.

　With the exception of Gram, all of the Go-kuns have been incapacitated.

"Kuh...! !"

　Bersol and Embla are also plants by nature.

　Even though he knew that he wouldn't die just by being trapped in a stone, Gram was driven by an impatience that felt like his whole body was burning.

　The city walls of Bifrost are already swarming with undead.

　They were knocked down one after another by the soldiers stationed on the walls, and the gates had not yet been breached. However, the elves, dwarves, and werewolves gathered in circles and could only concentrate on defensive battles.

　There was no way they could stop the undead and soldiers who were slipping behind them one after another, and it would only be a matter of time until they were crushed.

　And then—the situation changes.

　The sarcophagus knights, who had finished neutralizing Gou-kun's troops, approached the corpse of the Basilisk, which was sunk in the stone pillar forest, and arranged to surround it.

　Now that Bersol and the others are gone, their movements cannot be stopped.

"What are you going to do...?"

　I muttered while looking down from the top of the large stone pillar.

　I don't know what you're going to do, but I'm sure it's better to stop.

　Should I leave the protection of the princess to the Elder and go myself?

　However, if something should happen to the princess, the offense and defense so far will be in vain.

　I can't move.

　In the end, all I had to do was watch.

　●◯●

　The 10 sarcophagus knights, who had formed a line to surround the Basilisk's gigantic corpse, stabbed their staffs at their feet.

　Immediately, countless stone pillars turned to sand and lost their shape, and the vast amount of thorns and ivy that filled the space between the pillars dried up and rotted away.

　Everything turned into just grains of sand, and they erupted like geysers.

　The sand wriggles as if it has a will, covering the huge corpse in no time.

　What appeared then was the already familiar sarcophagus.

The stone solidified into a huge rectangular shape――no, it should be called a coffin made of huge rocks, was dyed blacker and blacker and blacker.

　What's the point in sealing a Basilisk that doesn't move anymore?

　The soldiers on the Bifrost side, however, do not have such doubts.

　Because there is no way to do such a meaningless thing until you consume a huge amount of magical power.

　Therefore, the hearts of those who could afford to see it were one.

　No way - and.

　I can't believe I'm that stupid.

"Kufufu..."

　Bardo, imagining the soldiers of Bifrost who would sink into despair from now on, sneered at that face.

"A coffin is what the dead sleep in. Sleep is something that wakes up. And if there is a body that can return to this world, it will return many times."

　tell them to sing

"It was a mistake, wasn't it? If you were to defeat the Basilisk, you should have obliterated its body without a trace. Well, there's no way you can do that."

　And the color of the jet-black coffin returns to the point of view of everyone who pays attention.

　No, rather than "returning", it seemed that the color was absorbed by something.

　In other words, the existence in the coffin.

　In the next moment, countless cracks ran through the gigantic coffin of rock, and it shattered with a roar.

　From the inside, the trapped existence appears.

　A temporary spirit created by magic reoccupied the Basilisk's corpse.

　However, his appearance was different from before.

The carrion is gone, and only bones are left. Skeleton Basilisk――should I call it that? Perhaps because the weight of the meat had disappeared, the giant bone lizard raised its body with an unexpectedly quick movement.

　A bluish-white light resided like a wildfire in the three eye sockets of the huge skull.

"Well, the weight and strength have decreased somewhat, but if it's just to break the gate, it should be enough."

　No one can stop the Basilisk anymore.

　Skeleton Basilisk obeys the caster's will and kicks the ground and charges violently.

　Passing through the side of a particularly huge stone pillar without any obstacles, it sprints.

　After all, no one could stop him.

　The huge body of the Basilisk hit the closed main gate of Bifrost, and the huge gate, which was made of wood but was reinforced with iron, was blown off with a roar.

　The screams of the Bifrost soldiers rise.

　Bardo smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, I've been having an unexpected problem so far, but this is the end."

　The basilisk stumbled back and put on a run-up to rush again.

　――At that moment, the ground shook.

　A few seconds before that, Sephi, standing on top of the large stone pillar, opened her eyes.

　A mysterious rainbow-colored light dwelled in both eyes that appeared from under the eyelids.
