Chapter XII, Crusade 6
The battle was about to break out, but if the timing of the attack as an ambush was not grasped well, or even the first move, it would be an intolerable mistake, and Black Thirteen knew that that thing would definitely appear, so he had prepared Rem who was on the side early in the morning.

――――
The effect of [Wind Protection] makes it feel very unnatural no matter how many times you feel it.
Vibrations, winds, postures, this is an unbelievable phenomenon that prevents all the effects that should have been affected.
Black Thirteen sat on the back of the galloping earth dragon and hugged Rem's waist, his eyes solemn.
Piercing the sky, swimming shadows - a huge body that can only be described as such appeared. Looking at this instinctively terrifying massive body, the life-threatening memory suddenly returned, causing Black Thirteen's heart to spasm.
Looking around, tension spreads in the crusade team that seems to feel the same way as Black Thirteen. According to the arrangement during the preparation for war, it should be ordered by Kluxiu to start a full-scale attack at this time.
However, it was really that moment when the sense of coercion made the Crusius hold his breath and hesitate.
And the fear of fighting at this limit can turn this hesitation into a fatal mistake.
Therefore, the pleiades patted the shoulder in front of him,
[it!]
[――El Shuma!!]
Just half a moment before Cruxiu exhaled, Black Thirteen let out a shout that lit the fuse of battle.
Echoing Black Thirteen's commands, Rem designated the target for the huge magic power that had been condensed. The four terrifying ice guns produced mercilessly pierced the sharp tips into the lower abdomen of the beluga.
The ice spear stabbed into the rocky skin, making the sound of ice cracking. However, before the shattering could spread throughout the Ice Lance, its piercing force broke through the thick skin of the beluga whale - blood poured across the plains.
The screams of the beluga whale spread throughout the plains. Feeling the vibrations of the atmosphere that numbed the eardrums, the pitch-black earth dragon that Black Thirteen and Rem were riding rushed forward without fear.
At the moment of the appearance of the beluga whale, there was a momentary void in the consciousness of all members of the crusade team.
If nothing is done at that moment, this so-called preemptive strike may not be established.
That void is the watershed. Then, even though he knew that the slightest hesitation would lead to life and death, a hero of Klushe's level still gasped in front of the majesty of Moby Dick.
Even if you are half-convinced of its appearance, when the real thing comes into view, people's hearts will still fluctuate. No matter how weak the fluctuation is, thinking can also produce distortion, and distortion produces stagnation, and stagnation begets defeat.
――If there is a gap between Black Thirteen and Kluxiu at that moment, it is decisive.
For a black thirteen who has the memory of dying many times, he knows that even if he dies, he must strive to be better than the last time, not to mention that so much foreshadowing was just for this moment, how can he care how hesitant and scared or shaken he is, the attack at this moment cannot be questioned, and then he made a shining start!
The delay in the order was due to the lack of judgment of Crusius, who was not fully trusted, only because he did not believe it completely from the bottom of his heart. Even if she believes in her heart, her sincerity as a politician makes it impossible for her to put aside her doubts.
However, Rem believed wholeheartedly in Black Thirteen's words, and in [Moby Dick will appear at this moment]. Therefore, Rem was able to cooperate with the time indicated by the Black Thirteen, prepare the most powerful magic he had, and give the strongest blow at the same time as the demonic beast appeared!
[It's incredible, magic this thing.] For a person who lives in the world of science, magic is also a product of fantasy, and no matter how many times you watch it, you will find it very novel.
[Pleiades, please hold on a little tighter, you'll be thrown off!]
Black Thirteen, who had made a self-analysis of how to deal with the beginning of the battle, Rem, who was holding the reins of the Earth Dragon, shouted. Her words are part of the battle - representing the second phase after the preemptive strike.
[All - follow those two fools!!]
In the back, the Black Thirteen, who were half a beat slower than the Black Thirteen at full speed, obeyed Klusio's orders and lit the barrels one by one - they were magic stone cannons that stuffed magic ore into the barrel like a cannon and shot out as ammunition.
The bombardment hit the target with an explosion, ravaging the body of the beluga whale with the force of destruction.
At the moment of hitting, the magic power infused with the magic ore was converted into the corresponding attributes, flame, ice, and light, further expanding the wound opened by Rem, and the black blood rain poured down towards the street.
In this blood that seemed to be rain and mist, the Black Thirteen and their earth dragons quickly circled in a big circle in order to go to the back of the beluga whale.
[Good start, nothing goes more smoothly than this!But the next thing is the most important thing~ Krushio! Execute according to Plan A!] Black Thirteen roared loudly.
【Air!【Night Drive】It's coming!Please close your eyes!】
Entering the battle mode, Rem raised his head and shouted as he got his head showing pure white horns on his forehead.
Black Thirteen hurriedly obeyed her instructions, lowered her head, and closed her eyes—and in the next moment, the world flickered.
White light erupted in the air, and in an instant, the white light burned the night world to the ground.
The intensity of the light that penetrated the eyelids and eroded the optic nerve made Black Thirteen so surprised that he couldn't speak.
The breath of the night disappeared from the streets of Lifaus.
What happened in those few seconds, the day and night of the world were completely reversed, and the light of day illuminated the plains.
Overhead, instead of the sun, which has long since sunset, it is not sent to the sky to attack the beluga whale, but a special magic stone with the effect of [Driving Night]. Originally, this effect was only a visualization of a photopolymer infused with the same amount of magical power, and it only had the degree of being able to emit a dim light, but,
[Spent a lot of money to buy a lot of these things, and then achieved the effect of similar to the sun]
[Because if the beluga whale sneaks into the night, it will be very difficult to catch it.] Well, it's here to go!]
This is the ability of the merchants who are among the best in the royal capital to join forces and travel around collecting magic stones.
The area of effect is only around the area of the big tree, and it lasts less than an hour - more than enough to end the showdown.
In the plain sky where the night had faded, the huge body clearly appeared. That's-,
[That's ......!]
The presence of beluga whales, which has never been clearly confirmed until now, is exposed to the sun at this time.
【――――!!】
Everyone was so surprised by the scene in front of them that they didn't know what to do, of course, that huge creature that couldn't see the whole thing at a glance shouldn't exist in this world, right?
[What a great ......]
Seeing that the situation had changed, Black Thirteen shouted again.
And Cruxiu, who came back to his senses, immediately gave the order [Viruhyrum!The battle begins!] and Veruhirum no longer knows where the people have gone, but no matter who knows, even if everyone may retreat, only one person will definitely not take half a step back......
The beluga whale trembled and roared, as if full of anger from being forced to expose people.
The roar it emitted could not even be called noise, but an almost destructive force.
This is a ferocious roar that makes the atmosphere hum and make even the trained earth dragons instinctively frightened.
Although covered in blood, his swimming posture did not show the slightest effect of the injury. The beluga whale swirled its head in the air of the plains, leisurely looking down at the tiny humans who had come to challenge him.
[Are you afraid?] What comes from this is not provocation, but trust.
[Ah, I'm scared to death, but I have to do it, but we're absolutely fine!I'll leave my life to you, Rem!]
[Rem's life is also a pleiades thing. - So, let's do it.]
To Black Thirteen, who had made up his mind and bravely declared that he was going to flee in all directions, Rem smiled softly and shook the reins vigorously. The pitch-black earth dragon roared, and even in the face of the beluga whale's anomaly, it quickened its pace without fear and galloped.
The target is the beluga whale facing him, running diagonally to the right and right, and then detouring back to the tail.
Facing the Black Thirteen who broke away from the crusade and approached this side, Moby Dick turned his huge eyeballs to this side. Open the jaw that even a large dragon cart can swallow in one bite, and the huge mouth full of grinding teeth opens and strikes in a roaring posture.
This will be followed by a baptism of noise that can even bring destruction, and Black Thirteen, who is sitting on the earth dragon, has a premonition of this and is ready.
And from behind--,
[Looking around, it looks really leisurely-!!]
The next moment when the voice of this brave heroine appeared, the head of the beluga whale shallow opened a one-shaped wound. The invisible slash that sliced through the rocky skin caused the beluga whale's massive body to spurt blood again.
Turning his head, he turned his gaze to the Black Thirteen who slashed the source, and saw the Earth Dragon running at the front of the follow-up team - Cruxiu who was standing on the back of the Earth Dragon with his arms in a slashing pose. But in her hands,
[Didn't take anything......!?]
[An invisible sword that ignores range - this is famous for "One Hundred People One Tai Sword", the sword skill of Lord Cruxiu]
Seeing Black Thirteen's stunned expression, Rem replied in a low voice.
This is the first time Rem has heard of Crucius's anecdote, but its meaning is literal enough to know. Seemingly empty-handed, Crucius has a fighting power that is not inferior to that name.
The pursuit of the beluga whale, which was routed by the invisible slash that had crushed the initial action and brought its movements to a standstill, continued.
The magic stone cannon was running again, and on the huge body of the white whale that was being attacked intensively, the damage was accumulated due to the continuous hitting of the cannonballs, and the height of the monster writhing in the air dropped.
If the beluga whale was originally the same height as the clouds, it had already reached a position where there was no need to raise its head directly above to see.
[That is, the distance that the blade can reach]
An earth dragon leapt to the ground and flew into the air with a lightness that did not fit its size.
Even so, when compared to the beluga whale, which is known for its size, the difference in quality is still clearly visible. The earth dragon that rises to the tip of the beluga whale's nose may seem like a flying insect to it.
- The sword light flashed with all its strength, leaving a deep wound on the nose of the demonic beast.
The sight of the shimmering silver rock skin being easily sliced made the battlefield quiet for a moment with the roar of artillery fire.
It wasn't magic, it wasn't a magic stone cannon, it wasn't even a slash caused by an incorporeal blade, it was evidence that humans had done damage to the beast with the steel they were holding through exercise.
This is the evidence that humanity has indeed harmed the Fog Demon Beast through its tenacity that has spanned eternity.
[--Fourteen years]
The figure crouched on the beast's nose, the blade of the sword in its hand still in the tip of its nose, and muttered.
He maintained the other sword in a thrusting posture, flicking off the sword body stained with the blood of the demonic beast, and the back emitted a sword aura that even distorted the atmosphere.
[Wholeheartedly, dreaming of the arrival of this day]
Under this figure with a straight back, the beluga whale writhed incessantly. In order to shake off the figure standing at the front of his head, the beluga whale roared and rolled in the air.
The wind blew through the streets, and everyone watched with bated breath at the result of the huge body churning.
however
【――――!!】
The beluga whale circled half in mid-air, screaming in pain, its tail flicking back and forth.
On the longitudinal cut just now, another horizontal scar was added, and on the back of the beluga whale, whose forehead was carved with a cross scar, a figure walked lightly.
- An ominous smile appeared on the sword ghost's face, and his blue pupils shone with murderous intent.
[Fall from here and turn into a corpse - just a monster!]
