Chapter 376: (Beetle) BUBUBUBUBUBU!!!! (Beetle) BUBUBUBUBUBU!!!!

* * *

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD!!

Under the pre-dawn sky, on the main street of the Ashgo Kingdom’s royal capital.

A single ‘giant’, with no arms, was running desperately down this large, deserted street, with pathetic screams and noisy footsteps.

“What is thisーーー!? What have I gotten myself intoーーー!?”

Shouting that, occasionally looking back with a pale face, was the man controlling the ‘Heroic Giant Armor’, which looked like a giant, made of a jumble of rock and steel... General Orbos!

“This isn’t the time to be talking nonsenseーーー!! Our speed is droppingーーー!! Can’t you run any fasterーーー!?”

The man with white-rimmed glasses, stuck to the chest armor of the Heroic Giant Armor, unable to move, was shouting and cursing... Ambitious the assassin!

He was accidentally caught in the formation of the Heroic Giant Armor and is now stuck between rocks, unable to move!

Also, the effect duration of his trump card, 【Battle Beast Transformation】, has already expired, and he’s back to his original human form, a tanned man with white hair.

“Uwaaaーーー! Uwaaaーーー!”

And then, stuck to Ambitious with honey, screaming and crying, was the emaciated man in a dirty robe... former Viscount Maqueterra!

He’s completely covered in honey, and because the honey is so sticky, he can’t separate himself from Ambitious!

Isn’t this honey a little too sticky!?

“Hey! You dirty, skinny old man! You’ve been noisy this whole time, you know!?”

“You’re the one who’s noisy, white-rimmed glasses! What’s with all the complaining and whining this whole time!! You’re just stuck to this armor, stop acting all high and mighty!!”

“What did you say!? And who are you anyway!?”

“Who are YOU!?”

“Uwaaaaーーー!! Uwaaaーーー!”

““Shut uuuup!!!””

Now, this trio of old men.

Why are they running down the main street, making a ruckus?

“BUBUBUBUBUBUーーー!!”

The answer is this buzzing sound.

They’re currently being targeted by Destroy Bunbun, the super giant beetle with an abnormal obsession with honey, and are continuing their desperate escape from this honey hunter, who boasts extraordinary toughness!

“Ah!”

“Geh!?”

“Uwaaaaーーー!?”

But in this long chase... the moment of truth finally arrives.

General Orbos’s Heroic Giant Armor... tripped on a dip in the cobblestones.

“Wh-Whoaaaaーーー!?”

ZUUUOOOON!!

The Heroic Giant Armor, unable to stop its momentum, was thrown forward into the air!Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

General Orbos tried to brace himself for impact, curling his giant body and spinning in midair, but his arms were already destroyed, and he couldn’t move as he wanted upon landing!

As a result, this giant of rock and steel landed on its butt on the cobblestones of the main street and came to a stop!

And Destroy Bunbun wouldn’t miss this fatal opening!

“BUBUBUBUBUBUーーー!!”

BAAAAAAM!!!

Destroy Bunbun, without slowing down, charged at full speed into the Heroic Giant Armor, which had fallen on its butt!

It’s the same charge that easily destroyed this giant’s arms, made of steel and rock, before!

Naturally, there was no way it could withstand this blow, and the Heroic Giant Armor, taking the charge on its back, finally shattered and was blown away!

“““GYAAAAAAAAHーーー!?”””

...It wasn’t just the debris of Mechanical Soldiers and cobblestones that made up the giant that were blown away.

The trio of old men were also thrown into the air by the impact of Destroy Bunbun’s charge.

“Nuwah!?”

“Guh!?”

“Uwaaa!?”

And they rolled pathetically on the cobblestones!

And not just rolling!

Originally stuck together, Maqueterra and Ambitious, and even Orbos, who happened to be blown away in the same direction!

These three, tangled together as they rolled!

The trio of old men, despite being unable to move, protested his words, shaking their bodies.

The sight of six pairs of twelve limbs wriggling around was somewhat unsettling.

The soldiers surrounding the old man ball were also slightly repulsed by its creepiness.

“Ah!?”

But Negamen, as a knight, was calmly observing this creepy old man ball.

And then, she saw the face of one of the men... the gaunt, emaciated man in a dirty robe... and instantly recognized him!

“T-This man! He’s Maqueterra Lotten, the former Viscount who conspired with the demons and put this country in danger, isn’t he!?”

“Whatーーー!?”

“Apprehend himーーー!!”

At Negamen’s words, the surrounding soldiers tied Maqueterra’s arms with ropes!

“S-Stop... It hurts, it hurts!”

“Ah!?”

And Negamen, being a knight, had memorized various wanted posters of criminals.

So, she saw the face of one of the men... the tanned man with white-rimmed glasses... and instantly recognized him!

“T-This man! He’s Pri-Pri Poplencho, the leader of an assassination organization, a wanted criminal, isn’t he!?”

“Whatーーー!?”

“Apprehend himーーー!!”

At Negamen’s words, the surrounding soldiers tied Pri-Pri’s arms with ropes!

“Stop it, don’t call me by my real nameーーー! I’m Ambitious! Ambitiousーーー!!”

“Ah!?”

And actually, Negamen and the others are reinforcements, dispatched to suppress the coup d’état launched by the Duke Faction nobles.

So, she saw the face of one of the men... the large man with a scar on his cheek... and instantly recognized him!

“T-This man! He’s General Orbos da Tomooou, believed to be the central figure of this coup d’état army, isn’t he!?”

“Whatーーー!?”

“Apprehend himーーー!!”

At Negamen’s words, the surrounding soldiers tied Orbos’s arms with ropes!

“I-Is this the endーーー!? I... didn’t do anything! I really, seriously, couldn’t do anythingーーー!?”

“Alright! Take them awayーーー!!”

“““Oooooooh!!”””

And the old man ball, rolled by several soldiers, was sent to the royal castle...

They will be judged for their crimes in accordance with the law.

Now, watching the old men being rolled away, the slender man crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“Hey, Negamen... why was General Orbos rolling around here? I heard from Old Man Bokji that our side was at a disadvantage... that’s why we were dispatched as reinforcements...”

“Well... there are a lot of things I don’t understand. Anyway, there’s no need to stay here any longer. Let’s hurry to the Duke’s mansion. The answers should be there!”

The slender man and Negamen nodded, reformed their ranks, and started marching down the main street towards the east again.

But... it was at that moment!

ZUGAGAGAGAGAGA!!!

With such a roar, the earth shook... and Mihabyushira Hill began to rise into the pre-dawn sky!

“Uwaah!?”

“Wh-Wh-What!?”

“What is thaaaat!?”

Even these elite soldiers couldn’t stand properly from the intense tremors.

They all fell on their butts, staring blankly at the surreal sight of Mihabyushira Hill, a familiar sight, rising into the air.

<<<IHIHIHIHIHIーーー!!!>>>

And then, hearing the creepy laugh echoing throughout the royal capital.

The slender man stood up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

And then, he forced himself to grin.

“Seriously... I don’t get it... but things have gotten really crazy...”

And as if to put up a brave front.

As if to muster his courage.

He deliberately...

Smiled defiantly!

“...Hehehe!”
