Chapter 73 Episode 71: The Burning Royal Capital (Part 1)

"What's the matter? There must be a barrier in the royal capital." The soothing voice of Princess Sofia resounds in the crowded venue.

"That's it. A group of demons has suddenly appeared in the city! The cause is unknown. We are now giving priority to the evacuation of the residents." Not only that, but also pay for the rescue of the residents. If you are hesitant, you will pay 1.5 times the normal amount. "" Hah! Immediately! " princess. Oh! Judgment is early.

"All the knights in the royal palace must defeat the monsters and protect the inhabitants." "Sister! I will go!" I seemed a little lost. Maybe he doesn't want to risk his brother too much. But isn't the brave hiding in his own country's crisis?

"Sasan, Lucy. Let's go." I'm not part of the Royal Adventurers Guild. However, he is a water country adventurer. Look for some help.

"I understand!" "Let's go!" Lucy and Saa nodded strongly.

"Tackey!" "Fujiyan, evacuate with Nina and Chris. Nina, please!" "Please leave! Husband, Chris! Go go show." Started to go to destination.

T r ansla ted by jp mt l .c o m ――The city is burning.

No, it just looks like because smoke is rising in places. It is not a big fire.

You can see the monsters rampaging. The number is not very large. But the fear of those unfamiliar with demons is considerable, and screams can be heard everywhere.

"Eh!" Sae's fist blew away Kobolt-like monsters. "Soil magic, rock bullet!" Lucy's magic hit the oak brain and killed it.

"Please escape here-" I pulled out the elderly hand and led me to the shrine, a shelter.

…… Without the water and no spirits, I can only do this…. No, this is an important job.

"Makoto, look!" "Takatsuki-kun! Griffon!" Turns around with the shouts of Lucy and Sa-san. Griffon is heading here!

"There is no troublesome monster!" Hold a dagger. "Go down!" The ex-guard knight came out from somewhere. Tran s lat ed b y ｊp mt l .ｃom

Gutsun! And collided with the griffon with a loud noise.

"Gugugugu ..." An old man with a red face is stopping Griffon! Don't do that, uncle!

"Water magic, ice blade!" I release a small amount of magic without sparing.

Guieee! Griffon, whose eyeball is pierced by an ice blade, agonizes in agony.

"Earth magic, large rock bullet!" Lucy's Oiwa and "Hah!"

Griffon hit a private house and got stuck. Great, both. Despite its small size, he easily defeated the griffon that had previously been so difficult.

“Captain!” “Are you safe?” “Thank you, adventurer!” The uncle's subordinate knights also came.

"Hey, Takatsuki-kun," Sae looked at Griffon's corpse and uttered something. "This is the guy I saw in the circus," "Like other demons," said Lucy. Certainly, the pieces of the circus outfit can be seen though it is tattered. Escaped from the circus? But are they all rampaging like this?

"Makoto Takatsuki. Do you remember this monster?" "Maybe it's a circus monster in the middle of the city." The monster "What! "Let's go." If anyone is late, the circus tent is the most dangerous.

◇

"That's terrible ..." The square in the center of the city, near which it was most destroyed. The corpses of demons and the corpses of shredded people are also rolling.

"His work ..."

-Oh, oh!

A scream that shakes the air resounds. Giant. A giant rampaging nearly ten meters away.

Tr ans lat ed b y jp ｍ tl .co ｍ "I'm going!" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "", "The old guardian knight's uncle, followed by his subordinate knights.

"Lucy, let's aim at his head. Sa-san, I'll break his feet, so ask him to stop." "Okay," "Leave it." There is a large fountain in the square. If you have water-you can fight!

The knights led by the uncle are attacking. The giant's movement is slow, so he doesn't seem to have attacked him, but his opponent hasn't been hurt.

"Hey, you guys are adventurers too!" "The guys are the biggest big guys!" "Help!" Alright! This won!

(Hey, don't be careless.) Yes, Goddess. As always, take care of your life.

"Fire magic, fireball", "wood magic, wind blade", "mixed magic, meteorite dropping!" Adventure magicians and Lucy's magic explode to giants. Lucy's magic, better control.

I'm approaching the giant a bit, feeling sorry. The magical giant is wandering. A tough giant.

He hit the giant with the water fountain of water magic. Water pours on the giants and the nearby knights.

"Hey!" The uncle knight said something, but later.

Freeze only the feet of the "water magic ice floor" giant.

"Oh?" The giant broke his balance-put on his ass.

"Now!" "Defeat!" The knights call.

――Hypto, A small shadow fell around the giant's head. Sae?

He jumped a few meters and then dropped his heel on the giant's head! That ’s the “Aerial Jump” skill!

Susin! The giant's head shook the ground, and the giant stopped moving.

fell down? How! And everyone springs to victory. T r a ns l ated b y Ｊp ｍ tl.ｃo m

"Kicking technique, great, you, gold rank?" "Hey, what magic is it to drop your meteorite?" "It's good. You're a hero." It is praised among adventurers and knights. Both seem shy but happy.

While looking at it from a distance, I checked around a little with the “enemy detection” skill. Is it okay already?

The giant still seems to have a slight breath, but is gradually weakening. Some adventurers are wary and alert, but they seem to be in danger. After a few minutes, it should die.

"I was saved." When I noticed, the old guardian knight was next to me. "Because I'm a proud friend," it's a waste of me. "No, the magic that turned that giant down. Did you use it? I couldn't beat it without that tact." "Is that so?" Right.

"Everybody, are you okay?" The late came with Prince Leonard ... Princess Sofia came here. Can I not escape?

"The monster defeat seems to be almost over. Everyone did well." Princess Sophia's voice nodded happily. Looking at this, she is an excellent princess. I'll show my face to dangerous places.

"Sophia! All the circus monsters have been killed!" Reported the knight who was looking into the tent. That's a terrible report. Were you demonic?

"The monster is cut by a knife and not a monster's work." "Look for the surviving circus. Listen to the details." "Hah!" Speaking of which, is that clown safe?

…… No, in retrospect he said, “Tomorrow is a big festival”. Are you a bit suspicious now?

When I was thinking about reporting it to my old knight just in case.

"Painful!"-The throbbing shock hit her head with a hammer.

Is this an enemy sensing skill? This headache ... a monster designated as a disaster?

"Is it true?"

"Did you? Makoto Takatsuki" Uncle also worry.

"... a monster designated as a disaster ... maybe coming" T r a nslate d by jpm t l.c oｍ

"Eh?" "What ?!" But where? Isn't this a labyrinth?

“… D …… kui ……… d …… ku… i ………… nin… gen…” moans. Is that a giant still alive?

―――― Yeah, I hate it. I know, I know.

I heard a strange voice. A gentle little voice like a child or a girl.

“… Chika ……… La …………………” I have a bad feeling.

"Someone! Stop the giant!" Shouted Princess Sofia. The knight and the adventurer follow their voice.

―――― Yeah, I ’ll give you the power. That's why I get your heart.

Mysterious voice keeps talking. "Lucy, Sa-san. Can you hear this child's voice?" "Eh?" "Child's voice?"

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The dying giant suddenly stands up! But the body collapses. Will it crumble? No, the skin had come off, and underneath it was something red and muddy. The muddy fell on the ground, squeaking, and the ground melted black.

Can you melt? Melted by heat? Is that like lava? The giant's body turned into something covered in lava. Lava has a lot of white stuff ... is that a bone? Is floating. Why doesn't bone melt?

―――― Let's go against fate! You are a good warrior!

The childish voice ceased to be heard there.

"------- Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The giant's voice changed from low to harsh, like pulling a glass. I heard this strange voice somewhere.

"Abominable ... a giant ...", a muttering voice reached someone.
