327 - - 325. Large-Scale War, Rage War

"I am at your service."

Cal responds shortly and stands up, removing his cloak.

At the same time, he invites us to a party. I accept and join Cal's party. Since dealing with knights and nobles is troublesome, I have agreed that Cal will remain the leader when I am around. He said that some of Cal's skills and titles are more convenient for him to be the leader when he is in a party or alliance with knights, and it is convenient.

"Unite!"

With the knights in the background, Cal points at Merlin with his sword and shouts.

Merlin at the point of the sword is a boy with long, slicked-back blond hair. This is the boy everyone saw in the trap dungeon. I wonder if what I am seeing now is due to Merlin's takeover, as Ochazuke said.

But why is he not an old man, a gorilla, or an owl? Is it a hobby?　Is it a hobby?　Peter measures?　Will this grow up to be a gorilla?　No, he was initially a prince, wasn't he?　So he looks like an emperor I don't know.

"The former cornerstone of the empire, now defeated by his own age, has turned against the empire and the world!"

Merlin, the great wizard, has fallen, now assimilated with the beast of the seal!

"The enemy is not the state!　The enemy is a White White Man who deceives!

In between the words, the knights clang their swords and spears against the earth.

"Defeat them!"

A low, earth-shaking overlap of many voices.

"Laugh!　Fools who point their swords at the emperor!"

Merlin, the boy with a twisted smile, yells out a howl, and the field changes.

It spread out in a circle with Merlin at its center. The field remains the same, but the distance from Merlin, who was close by, is reduced, and the area becomes dimmer. A thin haze surrounds Merlin, and sometimes Merlin's image is reflected in a part of the haze, as if in a vision.

As the knights begin to move in unison, a new monster is unleashed, blocking their way. The various demons, ranging from humanoid creatures to large plants, are all reinforced, and they are all releasing their skills from the very first move.

"Spread out and divide!　How dare you lead your troops before the Emperor!　[Military line disengaged]!"

A crown effect appears and disappears on Merlin's head. Though he is a small boy, his voice echoes throughout the battlefield.

"What?　The alliance has been canceled!

Someone cries out from below.

It's true, it's just the party. The unexpected situation causes the battle lines of the knights, which had been well aligned until a moment ago, to collapse, and a melee ensues.

Cal does not seem to be panicked, perhaps he had anticipated this, or perhaps he had not counted on the party of knights who had originally formed the alliance. The work is still the same, just the skills and communication methods for alliances are no longer available.

Galahad smacks himself roughly on the side of the head.

His steps are shallower than usual, but he still manages to aim at the soft spot of the monster coming toward him, slaughtering it without fail. Galahad is dressed in a black knight's outfit with some pieces of armor, not fully equipped but more knightly than usual.

Cal switches to party conversation. The sounds of battle make it difficult to hear the surrounding conversation.

>

Galahad swings his sword at the enemy in front of him.

Cal is always very hard on Galahad. But perhaps it is his true feelings of affection, for others he either smiles and softly tells them off or quickly cuts them off.

>

Eagle says regretfully as he draws his sword.

The eagle is equipped as a <, wearing a long back jacket over his armor, cinched at the waist with a belt.

When Kal met Dur and the others in the garden, he tried to stand up and wobbled. Galahad's energy level is decreasing rapidly as well. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I guess you didn't sit down to listen to the principal's long talk, but you didn't sit down to listen to the principal's talk.

<>>>

The at level 35 also has the effect of restoring energy. It is different from that of level 25, it is different!

<>

Galahad's movements visibly change. The more dynamic way of fighting is more pleasant to watch, just like Galahad.

Camilla picks up an arrow and shoots it through the mouth of a demon that leaps at a nearby knight.

Camilla is dressed in a mermaid-line dress of deep red with black. The wide open back dazzles in white.

.

With a single stroke of his sword, he cuts off the monster that leaps at him, and steps toward Merlin. His cloak flutters, as if he is not going to run and charge.

The kneeling technique that Merlin used must be of the same type as the one Cal used on Agravain and the others on his way to Fuso. It's a hard name to remember, but I remembered it when I repeated it so as not to say "wig" by mistake, Agravain. Gawain at the bunny girl's place--his mustache is now a mustache thanks to Leo.

For whatever reason, Cal must have some certainty. --I wonder if he has the exact same skills as Cal?

I know you are busy, but I got a lot of explanations back. I see... Verus. That makes a lot of sense.

The roses have been trampled to pieces, or even dug up by the demons coming from the ground, leaving holes in the ground. The wall separating the rose garden from the others is useless, and demons five times the size of a man strike the adventurers, wreaking havoc.

They are a mixture of small fry and bosses. This is no time for observation. Let's get to work!

HOMURA: --oh. I had a line I wanted to say at the start of the battle with the knights.

I wanted to say it when Cal and Galahad were on either side of me. This was my chance and I missed it.

Kikuhime: Why is that?

Homura: Cal, Gala, do it and be done with it!

Peter: www.

Homura: You had your chance to say it.

Ochazuke: Please stop. If you blow it out of the blue, you're a freak.

Kikuhime: You must have something against us!

Leo : Wahahaha!　Hee!　It's decreasing, it's decreasing!

Ochazuke: Ah!　Peter, the mask is not fair!

Peter: This is essential equipment for secret police, and is a recognition blocking device.

Homura: Since when is it required ......

Kikuhime : Homura, stop dropping knights to the funny man!

Shin is not participating in the clan conversation in the Flame King's party, as if he doesn't want to leak the clan conversation. Leo is not in the conversation as usual.

While he is talking, he finishes distributing defense by [Black Glow] and speed by [Time Magic] < to the party. In the meantime, he is cutting down two flying enemies that are coming toward him.

When I killed the first one, I panicked that I might hit the knight below, but just before I hit him, he shattered as a particle of light. Thank goodness.

I am sad that the black and white have returned, but I have taken them around with me so much that I can't help it. Bahamut is now sitting quietly in the blue gem in his chest.

Peter: Hmm. There's always a demon in the way and I can't get close enough to Merlin.

Ochazuke: Even if you get close to him, he'll be blown away before he can enter the haze...there must be a condition for this!

Homura: Our clerk is slashing at you, isn't he?

However, no damage has been done to Marlin. A light, round, ball of air, not unlike a soap bubble, clings to the swords of Kal, Galahad, and the others, blocking their attacks on Merlin. When cut, it spreads like a puff of smoke, and after a while it reverts back to a sphere and clings to them.

Kikuhime: Is it necessary to have a knight?

Ochazuke: Uh-uh, no. The beard at the rabbit girl's place had the same problem.

Homura: What's that?　

"Go crazy!　Bark!　Be disturbed!　Sleep!　Rampage!　What you see is the truth!　Your enemy is your friend in front of you!"

Raising his hand and pointing forward, Merlin shouts in a booming voice, and the place is thrown into turmoil.

The adventurers in the rear suddenly collapse, fighting each other, not dodging the demons' attacks, and attacking those nearby.

Leo : Aaahhh!　That was close!

Kikuhime : I was asleep when he hit me and woke me up!　

Peter: Ouch. Sleep seems to return to sanity after an attack, but if you take a bad one, you die!

Ochazuke: Thanks for the medicine > Peter　

Peter: If a person who is hit by sleep is attacked and comes to his senses, does this restore the others?

Kikuhime: I have all kinds of medicines thanks to Homura, but I need more, don't you?　

Ochazuke: You can use , , or any other magic that restores abnormalities, so you have to make the healer sane first!

It seems that Merlin was right, and that he had been affected by the insanity, confusion, and sleep. What's with the barking and raging?　Either way, it's something I can't control.

But still, as expected of a raid boss, the effects of his skills are far-reaching!　

Peter: It's a big mess, isn't it?

Kikuhime: The fact that there are so many of them is becoming a curse.

Ochazuke: The first Tamamo, the resistance to the event's inclination is not perfect, but I had time to splash holy water on it, so from now on, you want me to take some of the resistance seriously, I understand.

Peter: Skill points are tight.

Kikuhime: I heard that many people didn't do the Fox of the Isle event in the first place.

Homura: Scared of fighting each other!

In an event like this, where many people participate, individual preparation varies. Roy and the others seem to help those who are unprepared as long as they are not too unprepared, but I would stay away from them.

"Lady Guinevere, ......!"

"Your Majesty ......"

"Bollocks. You're supposed to be dead. ......

There's no friendly fire, but the knights are rustling.

"The Spider transforms itself into whatever it wishes!　Now desire and seek your enemy!

Cal's voice echoes around us.

Is that it? Do the knights see the demon as someone important? What a problem...

Kikuhime: It's knights versus adventurers!

Ochazuke: As expected, all the knights at Homura's place are sane

Peter: It's like a hallucinogenic combo of confusion and thought deprivation, but it's not working at all.

Kikuhime: You look so dashing, but you just ruined it with Kalu and Gala!

Homura: Oh. I can quell the madness, the outburst, and the confusion within the range of alliance with the title.

Ochazuke: Hey!　

Peter: www. There are more of them.

Homura: What's the title I got from the three bosses I just came from?

I just got them.
