- Laughter spread through the streets of Lyfaus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The beluga whale swims in the air with its huge body, and its small mouth is open all over its body, releasing discordant sounds.

The roar that emanates from its mouth has the destructive power to shake the earth. However, the sound that emanates from these jagged mouths is distorted and distorted as if rubbing against the wind, which is unpleasant.

[Oops, foggy ......!]

The beluga whale that kept screaming erupted [mist] from its countless mouths.

It spreads widely to the streets, eroding in all directions from the fog that falls from the sky. The field of vision slowly turned snow-white, and the [Night-Driving] effect of the magic stone gradually faded.

- [Fog Monster], show your strength.

The vision began to deteriorate, and on the mist-shrouded plains, the coordination of the raiding party began to disconnect.

The most important thing is that the existence of the beluga whale itself disappears as if it dissolved in a sea of fog.

[Did it really appear...... The kind of fog that allows others to forget the existence of another person!, but I'm well prepared............?!! etc., that kind of thing can't be used in this terrain...... But if the situation is discovered, Crushio's next order should be moved.

――――

[If you get eaten by that kind of thing......]

Regarding the threat of fog from the beluga whale, Pleiades thought he had heard enough in the previous operational meeting. However, the actual product is far more than expected.

[This is the real [fog] ......]

The white whale known as the [Fog Monster] has two types of [fog] properties.

One is a diffuse fog that covers the entire street like this in order to expand your own swimming area.

And then the other is the annihilating mist that made the earth disappear in front of my eyes just now.

The attack method that had not been shown until now was the latter's annihilating mist that accompanied the destruction. And then its threat, the destructive power at a glance is self-evident, but it is not limited to that.

With all his might, the brave voice dispelled the mist, and the white in front of him suddenly split in two.

Rushing out of the mist was Crushio, who stood on the back of a white earth dragon. I guess he took advantage of the ultra-long range of the invisible slash to cut through the fog that connected the distance to ensure his vision.

Kruxiu wiped his sweaty forehead from the earth dragon, exhaling a scrambled breath. Marked by Crusius at the center of the dispersed mist, the scattered raiding party quickly began to gather.

The squads gathered, and Kruxiu looked around at his men,

[――How many people have been defeated?]

[Fifteen people...... No casualties!]

[There are fourteen people here, one out of the team]

[Three...... The position was too abrupt to avoid the fog ......!]

【...... Who's Killed]

[I can't know ......!]

Faced with Kruxiu's agitation, the middle-aged man shook his head and squeezed out his voice.

It was supposed to be a puzzling conversation.

The team leader who grasped the number of team members, but reported that he couldn't remember the names of the team members who left the team.

There could be no such stupidity. But

The same reports were reported one after the other, and no team leader could give the name of the disappeared companion.

This abnormal state of affairs is the real threat of the [fog] released by the white whale.

As the name suggests, a being who is engulfed in the fog and disappears will erase all memories of its existence from this world.

"Has anyone disappeared?", even if this fact remains, its existence will not remain in anyone's memory.

That's what Crusius meant by having fifteen men per squad.

However, fortunately, it was warned in advance just now, and even this is the case, there are a lot of combat power losses.

[I still remember all this...... Is it related to this body?】

The Pleiades spoke the unquestionable reality.

It's like the Pleiades in that cycle, not forgetting the merchants who disappeared, and the rem who died in order to let the Pleiades escape. Or only the 'Pleiades' remember.

The squad leaders gathered under the banner of Krushe, one of them had a face, and it was someone else.

Engulfed by the destroyed [fog], the original team leader disappeared. The perception of the team members was replaced by the fact that the second person who was replaced was the team leader, and no one noticed this abrupt change in configuration.

In the face of this abnormal state of affairs, Black Thirteen understood that Moby Dick was actually the same strange existence as [Witch].

What was forgotten by everyone, Black Thirteen can still remember and never forget.

This must not be unrelated to the [Return of Death] possessed by the 'Pleiades'.

(The fact that it is related to the witch can be confirmed, but even if there are other circumstances, it can only be speculated on this point.) ）

[Are you back, Viruhayrum]

Breaking through the thick fog, it was a sword ghost covered in blood and a miserable appearance.

[It's too early.] -- Casualties. 】

Viruherum shook the blood from his sword and wiped the blood from his cheek.

[11 people in total...... Those who have been defeated cannot even be remembered for their exploits. 】

The disappearance brought about by the fog is the literal erasure of existence.

The footprints of those people have all been erased from the memories of others, and only blank spaces remain in this world.

If that is the case, where will the bonds, feelings, and love that have existed until now disappear?

As far as the eye could see, behind Veruhirum, a group of ligads appeared, including Ricardo and the two deputy captains who were sitting on the large lion tigers. It seems that like Viruhelum and Viruhelum, the group that fought with Moby Dick suffered few casualties.

[The fog of trouble has appeared.] Exorcism Stones are rare and available in limited quantities. ...... If you get it wrong at the right time, you're done. 】

......

――――

In the last crusade meeting, we talked about the appearance of 'fog', and at that time, Black Thirteen said that his 'mobile phone' might have other functions, but even in order to be able to prevent it from increasing his persuasiveness after the appearance of 'Moby Dick', he didn't expect it to play a role in reducing the loss rate of fighters, how did you find out? Just a minute before the fog of [Moby Dick] came out, Black Thirteen felt the abnormality of the behemoth in front of him, which may come from the body' The witch's breath is related, so when he made a decision to greet Kruxiu, and the decisive Cruxiu didn't understand what Black Thirteen said, but when he saw that he was holding a glowing 'mobile phone' in his hand and a 'run' mouth in his mouth, he decisively issued a retreat order, and I have to say that the order issued at this moment and the loss of personnel are indispensable for both people.

――――

[If you do the same concentrated attack again, you should be able to hit the ground.] Now that you've lost your Shadow, it's time to use it for the first time, at least to avoid sneak attacks. Any objections. 】

Crusiux's judgment was fully agreed with by all of them, and her gaze turned to the support team led by Phyllis.

[Phyllis, use the magic stone cannon to hit the magic stone.] There are only two servings. Use it carefully.】

[It's ready.] At all times, obey the Lord's commands. 】

Facing Phyllis patting his chest, Cruxiu nodded, then looked at the whole team again before resuming the battle.

[Now is the key!] Our attack is effective against Moby Dick, and the feeling left in Zhu Qing's hands is proof of it! That guy is indeed very powerful. And the origin is unknown. In the worst-case scenario, our death may not remain in anyone's memory. But!]

Crusius drew the sword of the Carustan family at his waist—though it might have been superfluous for her to unleash a slash with her bare hands—and raised it into the air,

[Even for the sake of the dead who cannot engrave their names on the tombstones, even for the weak who will be threatened by the fog of Moby Dick in the future world, we must sacrifice and crusade against them!--Keep up with me!!]

【Exorcism Stone, Launch!!】

At Klussius' orders, the members under Phyllis's command raised the muzzle of the magic stone cannon - and then, with the sound of an explosion, the magic stone was shot into the air.

[The fog has dispersed-!]

The shattered stone in the air emitted a glow, dispelling the white mist that covered the field of vision in one fell swoop.

However, it is not the complete removal of the fog that fills the plains. At most, the concentration of the fog can be reduced, but it only eliminates the difficulty of checking the field of vision.

However, even if it is so, the effect is sufficient.

- The [fog] of the white whale seems to be the product of the mutation of the great magic power it holds.

In other words, the white whale visualized the scattered magic with its will, thus forming the [fog].

Then the magic stone - its original effect is to forcibly reduce the surrounding magic power to colorless magic power, which belongs to the type of magic stone that is a neutralization effect, it is this power that neutralizes the magic power of [fog], and then dispels it.

Although it contains the gambling ingredient that "if the effect of the exorcism stone is too strong, it is easy to weaken the power of the magic attack here", but judging from the current state of the fog, there seems to be no need to worry.

[Isn't it enough to remove all the fog?]

[On the other hand, the magic here has not been affected. Rem is also in perfect condition]

Rehm, who nodded slightly, the corners of his forehead glowed, replied.

The swirl of magic created around him was the evidence that Rem had begun to refine his magic again.

[Then continue to follow the plan and let that guy land on the ground!]

[Yes!Let's go!]

There was a frantic shout from the others.

This strange cry is not like a human sound, but more like the moaning of a beast.

Someone was foaming and staring at the whites of his eyes and spasming. Someone groaned and scratched his arm desperately. Some gritted their teeth to the point of shattering all their molars and struck their heads on the ground.

Even though the symptoms vary, one thing is clear.

Madness is spreading through the fog.

[This is ......]

[Because of the sound just now, [Mist] directly interfered with the spirit...... Although this is similar to mana poisoning, it is more serious......]

Reem, who was taking a deep breath, was feeling the corner to calm herself down, and Black Thirteen was a little relieved, at least she wasn't affected too much.

[It's really a problem, it looks like it will take 3,5 minutes to solve it no matter how fast it is......] Looking at the group of people in front of him who were hurting themselves, Black Thirteen said quietly.

Black Thirteen patted Rem on the shoulder.

[Are you alright?]

[Pleiades!How are the injuries!?] The two asked at the same time.

[I'm fine, but then I'm left to fate, although it's a little far away from them, but I don't rule out the possibility of being hit.] 】

If the main force like Klusho Viruhyrum and the support center like Phyllis are lost, it will be the end of it. Even continuing to fight will be very difficult.

[The active man brought the wounded to the tree!

However, Cruxiu's voice was heard again from the depths of the fog. The voices of reply also rang out one after another, and it seemed that Kluxiu was not affected by the fog. And the immediate threat is being actively addressed.

Black Thirteen smiled chic in that direction. 】

[From the perspective of combat power, the consequences are more serious than directly killing these recruits, but ......is this what a simple monster would do!]

[Lord Felix also seems to be safe.] If that adult can be treated normally, at least the effect of the contamination should be removed......]

What Rem wanted to say, Black Thirteen just nodded.

There were so many casualties that Phyllis couldn't keep it busy. In order to recover the wounded, it is necessary to divide the manpower, but this will reduce the combat power. What's more-

[There is not enough time. Before Phyllis was fully healed, he had to be in a state of defenselessness all the time.]

[Of course, although this is a matter of concern, but more importantly, the guy knows how to strategize, in that case, ......]

[Isn't that tricky?] Rem said gloomily.

[Tricky?How could it be?!]

Pat your chest and take a deep breath. Hold your breath, close your eyes, and exhale to open them.

Waiting, what Black Thirteen will say.

[Rem, what we have to do next is the most dangerous thing. 】

[Yes, I'll be with you wherever I am!]

In the meantime, you go to Phyllis's treatment. After handing over the seemingly fine guy to Phyllis, go and meet up with Cruxiu!]

[Lead!?In the end, what should I do......]

[Just like this.] Black Thirteen suddenly lost his eyes, his hands hung down to his sides as if they had been broken, and the whole person seemed to lose consciousness.

Just like in the pre-battle preparation meeting, the Black Thirteen came out of the tray.

Then, Black Thirteen touched the taboo with his own hands.

Fear welled up and entangled Black Thirteen's heart. I am darkness, I am sin, I hate death, I pray for peace......

Just now, Black Thirteen discovered a new way to use the 'Witch Breath', a safer way to use it for the people around him, a way to use it that won't hurt the innocent, and a way to use it that only he is dangerous......

The aura of darkness wrapped around him as if it were a physical object.

[Do I stink?]

[Stinks to death!]

[Don't say it so ugly......] Black Thirteen scratched his head, although it was the first time to use it, but the actual effect seemed to be good.

After receiving Rem's confirmation, although it was a little unrelieved, the goal was achieved.

Channeling the witch's miasma onto his body, Black Thirteen turned back to the knights around him and said loudly.

[We'll get out of here soon!We'll try not to get close to the big tree as much as possible, and we'll have to meet up with Klusich and them!]

[Know, know!

[You too!]

Seeing off the knights, Black Thirteen patted Rem on the shoulder and motioned for the Earth Dragon to go.

Now, Black Thirteen's body should be filled with fresh "witch remnants" - a literal smell of contradictions. The question is how much this will do to beluga whales, though.

[The last time I met the Ulu Garum incident in the forest, it had the effect of covering the entire forest, and that time it was almost ten dead, but I still survived the desire to survive. But this time...... To be honest, it's still an unknown.]

However, in the next instant.

What happened ......

[It's Moby Dick!!]

At the same time as Rem, who was in close contact, screamed, the huge jaw suddenly broke through the fog and appeared.

They brushed past the Black Thirteen, who had changed direction at the last moment, and the giant mouth of the beluga whale, which had shifted slightly to the left, bit into the earth and swallowed the grassland it passed.

The rocky skin brushed through it, and the sound of the beast's jaws chewing the ground was close at hand. When the beluga whale noticed the lack of flesh in its mouth, the huge body turned back into the air.

Then, roaring after Black Thirteen.

[, it's really exciting......]

The pressure brought by the imminent, overwhelming mass from behind.

As if to crush people, the sense of oppression approached from behind, and the earth dragon carried the screaming Black Thirteen, desperately galloping. However, the pursuing beluga whale flies at an unusual speed.

The huge body of the mountain swam in the air, and the momentum as if it was about to catch up with the wind narrowed the distance in one breath.

Soon, the gluttonous jaws approached.

The tip of the nose was just a stone's throw behind it, and it was so far that you could even smell the fishy smell

[Rem help!It's over!It's over!I feel like I can see its terrifying mouth behind my back as soon as I turn around!No, it must have opened its mouth and is about to swallow me, woo~~ I'm going to die!]

【Ul Shuma!!】

Echoing Rem's chant, three ice spears stabbed out of the earth together.

The target, no doubt, was chasing the beluga whale directly below them, trying to stop it by piercing its abdomen. But......

[Can't stop-!]

The ice spear, the thickness of a hundred spears, broke completely, shattering and scattering with a sharp sound. The destroyed ice spear instantly reverted to magical power, and blood gushed from the wound in the Moby Dick Cave, but its movement was not affected.

After being hurt like that, and bleeding so much, even so, I still don't know where the tired endurance comes from.

[But unlike Veruhylum, this side is not going to be alone!]

Black Thirteen raised his middle finger and pulled away to provoke Moby Dick. Seeing his actions, the beluga whale roared angrily across the plains. However, from the sides of its carcass,

[Ahh

Viruhelum's slash slashed horizontally.

The blade stabbed into the beluga whale, and Viruherum sprang up along his flanks. Rushing up with the blood-soaked Viruhelum, the kitten sisters who straddled the two ligos exchanged a look

[Sister, cooperate!] [I'm going to go up—Black Taro!!]

Mimi and Black Taro jumped off the staggered lion and tiger, holding hands. The two stood in front of the wound cut by Viruhelum and opened their mouths wide,

【Wang-!】【Ha-!!】

The voices of the two overlapped, and the wave-like spread sound wave contained an astonishing destructive power.

The impact penetrated through the wound, and the wounds on the beluga's body spurted blood again. Shaking its huge body, the height of the beluga whale involuntarily lowered in one breath. It writhed in pain, groaning in excruciating pain, and behind the beluga whale, which had managed to avoid falling to the ground, the twins fled in a lion and tiger.

[End of ultimate-!] [Leader, please!]

[Oh, oh, leave it to the Sprinkle family! The little ones have worked hard, and the Sprinkle family has to work hard!!]

Swapped with the landed twins, the large liger climbs up from the beluga whale's tail.

Ricardo swung his machete, attacking the myriad openings that produced the mist. Viruherum similarly attacked the noisy openings, quieting them one by one.

However, Moby Dick will not wait quietly for the attack to be completely defeated. As a result, from the countless openings that could not be fought endlessly, a rain of bullets was released.

Ricardo used the agility of the liger, and Viruhyrum avoided the fog again and again with his uncanny form.

The Raiders reunited with the Iron Fangs, and in order to support the unfavourable Viruhelum and them, the Stone Cannon resumed firing. Anxious about the fact that he was constantly being injured by flying insects and unable to hit his attacks, the white whale twisted its huge body and opened the opening of its whole body, releasing mist.

[Rem-!!]

Rem reacted even faster than Black Thirteen's shout, manipulating the Earth Dragon to jump in front of Moby Dick Whale. Due to the approach of the Pleiades, which emitted the scent of witches, the concentration of the white whale was disrupted, and it looked reflexively to this side, and it tried to fly over, but was stopped by the slash.

[Looking around...... I've been patiently waiting to take your head since fourteen years ago!]

Viruherum lunged at the forehead of the white whale and did not stop until the blade was completely sunk.

However, the old swordsman immediately gave up the third sword, kicked the hilt with all his might, jumped up, and then pulled out the fifth sword, and danced wildly with his two swords behind the monster's back.

On the back of the beluga whale, Ricardo rendezvous with Veruhirum and burst out laughing.

[It's so interesting!It's more tenacious than you think, but it's not very powerful!]

[No...... Slightly, the feel is a little too shallow】

Facing Ricardo, who was expressing his comfort, Veruhirum frowned and whispered. Gritting his teeth, Viruhairum said while cutting the tail fin of the beluga whale,

[It's just a level of Warcraft, it's hard to imagine my wife...... Juggernaut will be defeated. Even if we get the first step, we weren't distracted by the fog at the beginning......]

Wiljuhelum, wielding his sword, was interrupted by the movement of the white whale turning its body.

[Uh, whoaa

The beast's behavior was very different from what it had done so far, Moby Dick raised his head and rose upwards in one breath, and Ricardo and the liger were thrown down together by that inertia.

Then, Viruhelum, who remained on the beluga whale,

[Before you go down, hit again-!]

On the body of the monster that twisted its body and swam in the air, Viruhelum ran down with a light movement.

The body of the beluga whale in the ascending body brushes past the descending Viruhelum body. The body moved, stabbed the blade and forcibly controlled the posture, and the old swordsman's body used his years of combat experience to cut off a dorsal fin at the end of the giant body.

【――――！！】

Listening to the screams of the beluga whale, Viruherum used his fallen dorsal fin as a stepping stone to the ground.

Falling from such a height would normally be a sure thing to do, but Viruhyrum kicked his dorsal fin hard just before hitting the ground, and the castration allowed the earth dragon to catch it.

[It's so good......] Black Thirteen An An complained.

Blood flowed from the part where the dorsal fin had been severed, and it was like a torrential rain. The grass of the plains was dyed vermilion, and Viruhelum, bathed in the rain of blood, was undiminished.

No one would have thought that Moby Dick would just run away, but the purpose of the beast's ascension into the air is still unclear. Iron Fang and the raiders also looked up at the sky restlessly, and Black Thirteen began to think about the situation of the wounded gathered at the base of the tree.

【Coming】

Viruhyrum looked into the air and whispered.

The appearance of the old swordsman who squinted his eyes and grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands again raised the vigilance of all the staff.

Then, holding his breath, he waited for the change to come—and regretted it.

Instead of waiting for the action of the beluga whale floating in the air, it should immediately disperse.

[――Retreat!!!

Black Thirteen shouted as hard as he could, and Rem turned the Earth Dragon in one breath and broke away from the battle line.

The surrounding dragons, lions and tigers also rushed out together, and there was no time to look up to confirm the safety of the others.

--As if it were about to completely cover an entire area of the sky, the extinction-type mist that expanded and spread fell to the earth.
