Chapter XVI, Crusade 10

[I still don't quite understand what you're trying to say...... But I still want to believe in you and do whatever I want. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Crouch said.

[Whether it's to buy time to escape, or in the form of support.] No matter which side it is, it won't last long. Something had to be done. - Because, retreat is almost no longer an option]

With that, Kru changed the direction of the Earth Transformation Dragon and left Black Thirteen.

She made a big circle, bypassed the beluga whale that was staring, and came to the front of the teams of the crusade team that was gradually dispersing, and said in a loud voice.

[Stand up, raise your head, pick up your arms!Don't forget why you are standing here!]

【――――】

Immersed in despair and lamentation, the men with their heads bowed raised their eyes.

In front of them, Crusius drew his sword majestically and pointed it to the sky,

Look at the man, a weak man with no weapons, no strength, and a weak man who will fall when the wind blows. The appearance of being knocked to the ground, a powerless man I have witnessed with these eyes!]

The sword, pointing behind the running Black Thirteen, Kruxiu raised his voice again.

[Of all the people here, that man is the weakest!]

Yes. What Cruxiu is shouting is the truth. Black Thirteen is really weak. Weaker than anyone else.

Without combat effectiveness, there is not even the strength to survive. A man who has suffered countless setbacks countless times, and has been crushed and defeated every time.

[The weakest man like that, declares himself to fight earlier than anyone else]

The man, who was weaker than anyone present, gritted his teeth and said that he could still fight, endure the pain, hold back his tears, spit blood, and even so, raised his head in order to resist.

[So why, but we bow our heads]

【――――】

[Our strength is very weak, and even if we join forces, we don't know if we can touch the vital point of the Warcraft. Having said that, even the weakest man hasn't given up yet, so why should we allow ourselves to bend our knees!]

[Oh, oh, oh......]

The demoralized men looked at each other, poured strength into their trembling knees, and stood.

Picking up the dropped weapon, he walked to the Earth Dragon, which was waiting for his master.

Reaching out and holding the reins, the knights, who had been on their knees, stepped onto the back of the earth dragon.

The earth dragon roared, and the knights on its back also drew their swords and shouted hoarsely.

Let out a war cry. It's like motivating your heart, and you're proud of your soul.

The young man, who was not good at fighting, rushed forward, but he fell to his knees and was depressed - to dispel this stupidity, with a frenzied roar.

-- This is an emotion that human beings call "shame".

[Shame] cut away the fear, cut away the abandonment, cut off all the feelings that stopped the footsteps, let the knights raise their heads, let them regain the strength to move forward again.

[It's going to be on!All staff, assault!!]

[Oh oh oh oh oh - !!]

The souls that had already yielded rose again, and the knights moved forward again.

The returning Earth Dragon Legion kicked up a cloud of dust, and the crusade team with a total strength of less than fifty rushed towards the two white whales that could be reached, led by Kruxiu.

Listening to the roar of the crusade's morale and the angry rebuke of the morale-boosting Cruxiu, the corners of the Pleiades' mouth couldn't help but smile.

[Then thank you, I won't disappoint your expectations, come on, Onexia!]

The earth dragon leaned and kicked the ground, making a sharp turn, and then roared again at the beluga whale.

In front of Black Thirteen's eyes, facing the beluga whale who was trying to shake off Rem who was wrapped around him, Kluxiu and the scattered mixed team also began to support the attack.

The beluga whale let out a scream and slapped the ground back and forth. But even this act of struggling with pain is an unavoidable violence for humans at close range. An earth dragon and its rider were knocked flying by the blow, and then they were thrown hard, and the sound of bones shattering was heard.

Blood splatters, lives fade. - This scene was deeply imprinted in the eyes of Black Thirteen.

The rioting white whale sensed the proximity of Black Thirteen and opened the opening of his whole body.

Black Thirteen instantly felt the chill of blood flowing backwards, entrusted all his trust to the earth dragon, and moved forward through the wind.

--The annihilation type [mist] released from the countless openings swept past him.

Even if it only touches one finger, the existence of Black Thirteen will be erased and ended.

[Al Fira!] [How can you succeed!] [Where are you looking!]

The magic of the wind blew away the mist, and with the roaring blade of the blade, the hammer head that broke through the air shattered the opening that released the mist.

The assistance of the knights thinned the fog like a rain of bullets. Even so, the concentration of the fog is hopeless.

The route of the run was given to Onexia, and Black Thirteen swayed on his back to dodge, one man and one dragon getting faster and faster.

The eyes of the white whale, chasing Crusius who continued to attack with his sword, turned sharply to the side of the Pleiades. At the same time, the thick fog that had accumulated in the open mouth spit out with a powerful destructive force along with the roar that broke through the air.

Onexia jerked around. But it was still half a step away from escaping from the approaching terrifying fog to get out of the range of the attack. -- And the black thirteen they are half a step behind,

[We're here!] [I won't let you mess around―!]

It's up to Mimi and Black Tarot, who cut into the battle, to make up for it.

The cat-eared siblings opened their mouths and released a roar of [Wang] and [Ha].

Sharp sound resonances create ripples, which then converge and transform into destructive force. Then the huge wave of vibration swept across the plain, blowing away the approaching fog head-on.

Everyone tried their best to protect the thin man in front of them, not even a little, and they didn't allow him to get hurt.

Raise your head sharply.

He turned his head and looked at the white whale that had been left behind him again, staring at the fading head of the monster.

Then, the cause of the sense of disobedience was noted.

[A little close!]

Black Thirteen gritted his teeth, feeling the torrent of possibilities rushing in, and his whole body trembled.

After giving instructions with the hand holding the reins, Patrasius jerked around and ran towards the other beluga whale.

In the battle, Rem freed the power of the ghost clan, straddled the back of a lion tiger, and used the iron ball to dig out huge wounds on the body of the white whale. The apron she was wearing was stained with the blood of the monster, but she still showed a strong smile when she saw Black Thirteen approaching.

Rem's blood-clad smile had a poignant tinge on it. Even at this disadvantage, Rem still believes in Black Thirteen.

This trust, this affection, must be reciprocated, because the person who said it was himself, not anyone else.

Moby Dick's unexpected blow failed to kill Ricardo.

The expeditionary team, which has been greatly reduced, is able to fight against the increasing number of beluga whales.

Moby Dick sacrificed his staying power and chose to prioritize increasing the number of attacks.

Numerical violence - if the raiders had succumbed to this, the battle would have ended by that moment.

It's hard to imagine that Warcraft would understand the human way of thinking so much and then adopt such psychological tactics. However, the fact is that Moby Dick does have the power of division.

Suppose that at that time, Black Thirteen gave up resistance, what would have happened?

"If it hadn't been shouted out at that time", then what happened after that is now unknown to Black Thirteen. The kind of future that I didn't want to shout out, the current Pleiades don't want to see.

Again, a long confrontation with this group of beluga whales or something......

In front of the Pleiades that came to a conclusion, the beluga whale chasing him suddenly moved. The body floating in the air rubs against the ground, as if it is suffering from a foreign body in the body.

[Sister, now!]

[It's very uncomfortable to be itchy but your hands can't reach it, right-!Mimi can understand-!]

Black Taro jumped out of the room, and Mimi, who had misunderstood Moby Dick's move, followed. The twins approached the beluga whale left and right in a breathing motion, and at the same time spoke-,

【Wang-!】【Ha-!!】

The staggered roaring waves on the left and right caused the beluga whale to twist its body wildly, and the shock wave penetrated through the outer skin and into the internal organs. The hard skin cracked, the cracks spread, and blood spurted out.

[――Ahh

The lower abdomen, rubbing against the ground, bulged outward, and the splattered flesh was sliced open. The crimson black bodily fluids flowed out, and along the turbid currents appeared,

【Viruhayrum !!】

The return of the sword ghost who was completely swallowed by the white whale and fell into an existential crisis.

The crusade suppresses the furious beluga whale, and the Pleiades take the opportunity to run to Viruhelum side. Veruherum, who was covered in blood, knelt on one knee and stood up with his sword in support of his body,

[I'm not mature enough...... Careless, ......]

[Stop talking!Damn, go to Phyllis's right away!]

Black Thirteen, who stretched out his hand to help, was shocked by Viruhelum's unimaginable injury. Although he still has the strength to hold the sword, including the scarred left arm, he is already in a near-death state.

If you don't let a healer take care of it immediately, the light of life will be extinguished at any time.

Having said that, Viruherum stubbornly refused the outstretched hand of the Black Thirteen who rushed to him. He put the weight of his body on the sword, gritting his teeth and trying to stand up with his own strength. [Yet, no. It's not enough, I ......]

[Shut up!As the main fighter, you have already committed a big mistake by impulsively not listening to the command, now, immediately, immediately!Go to Phyllis's side for treatment, your time is definitely running out, if you don't recover quickly, I guarantee that everyone here will die here today!] Black Thirteen shouted at the old man in front of him at the top of his throat. Angrily reprimanding the devastated Viruhelum and forcibly propping up his body. Then, in front of them in the midst of the argument, the cat-man siblings came to converge.

[Big-Uncle is out--!]

[Mr. Viruhelum, are you alright!?]

The twins, who ran over, saw the seriously injured Viruhelum and immediately went their separate ways. Mimi casts a simple healing spell on the wounded old swordsman, during which Black Taro looks up at Black Thirteen,

[Even my sister's healing magic can't heal such an injury.] Mr. Natsuki, are you going to send Mr. Veruhirum to Mr. Felix?]

[Of course, even if it's tied, you have to get him over.] 】

[Ahh If I didn't start the treatment right away, it would be too late!I wanted to take him back directly......]

Turning his head, he stared at the beluga whale who had started to move again.

The wound in the abdomen was very deep, and the bleeding did not stop, but the demonic beast that continued to spit out mist from the opening of the whole body could not see the attenuation of battle intent as Viruhelum.

The current situation, the disruption of the Black Thirteen can undoubtedly make a significant contribution to stabilizing the situation. If Black Thirteen pulls Viruhayrum out of the battle here, it is likely that the battle will turn to the bad side.

[Not only that, but I and the wounded were directly solved by Moby Dick. Veruhylum, can I leave it to you?]

[Let our liger be in charge...... Still, did you think of something?]

took over Viruhyrum from Black Thirteen, and Black Taro finally helped him to the Liger because of the physical disparity. Then he looked up at Black Thirteen and took the hand of his sister, who was smiling innocently,

[If you have a chance of winning, listen to it.] If it didn't work, I would have to take my sister's hand and run away from here.]

[Eh, why, why, haven't you killed those guys here!]

[Sister, you give me a moment of silence]

Mimi pursed her mouth at her brother's sudden stern tone.

Looking at the twins' communication, Black Thirteen nodded in understanding.

[You are mercenaries, unlike me and Krushio, and the knights who resented Moby Dick, but you were hired. ...... There is no reason to even take your life]

[It's just that there's no reason to take your life.] In this regard, I don't want to be misunderstood] Although his attitude and expression looked weak, Black Taro firmly gave his opinion to Black Thirteen. Looking down at the petite orc, who was less than his waist, he exhaled deeply,

"In that case, I think you can work a little harder.] 】

In an almost desperate situation, the black thirteen with a confident smile made his younger brother stunned.

[Time is running out, send Veruhylum to the rear first, whether you can win or not depends on the next few minutes. 】

Viruhelum began to blame himself when he heard Black Thirteen's words, and now he just wants to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, so that he can recover his combat strength before he says 'odds of winning'!

Black Thirteen quickly stepped onto Onexia, beside him, and turned his gaze to the heights.

Resentfully staring at the shadow of the fish swimming leisurely in the high air that needed to be looked up.

[Ah~~ Understood, then let it take Veruhirum to the rear first. For some reason, I had a feeling that this person's incredible words would definitely be completed, and I agreed to his request without hesitation. 、

――――

Even if they are defeated with great difficulty, the corpses will only dissipate into mist, and they may be transformed into new entities.

If you do, you'll be plunged headlong into a battle with no end in sight. As a result, in the face of the beluga whale that has no life limit, the picture that this side will disarm and surrender first is almost clearly visible.

And Black Thirteen knows that it is not yet a dead end, even if it is a dead end, how can he know if there will be another way of life behind the wall if he does not come to the end?

[The reason why the head does not come down is related to the method of defeating it. And now the manpower that has been arranged in advance has not been dispatched can also come in handy. Black Thirteen took out the flare given by Russell, and with a single touch, it emitted an extremely short glow in the air.

The brilliant light was short and bright.

[Even if I use the slash released by Kago, I can't expect power if I pull up to that distance.] If it only slashes it, it might be fine, but if it will be shot down, it won't be a beluga whale. 】

[I don't know if you remember? I guess you didn't have the patience to listen to the plan b I told you......]

――――

【El Shuma】

In the swollen vortex of magic, a blue-haired girl stood in the center.

Kneeling on the ground, taking the time to condense her magic and aim at the girl, a sharp ice spear slowly builds up.

The ten-meter-long frozen murder weapon, with its sharp spear tip pointed right in the middle of the beluga whale's body.

It was a threatening power even from a distance, but it was a fatal mistake for the beluga whale to notice it before it was shot.

[-Please!]

Hearing the maiden's prayerful cry, the ice spear shot from the ground into the air.

The target, of course, is the huge body of the beluga whale swimming in the air.

Speeding up in one breath, the Ice Spear with murderous intent approached with the momentum of breaking through the sky - but the time it took to gain this speed, and the missteps of being seen to launch at the moment made the Ice Lance unable to complete its mission.

Beluga whale flicks its tail and swims in the wind. That alone makes the ice gun miss the mark.

The poor ice spear, which had missed its target, passed by the beluga whale and flew to the other side of the sky.

γ€β€•β€•β€•β€•οΌŸγ€‘

At the moment when the ice spear passed, there was a really faint sound, as if something had shattered, touching the beluga whale's hearing. Given the quality gap between the two, this can even be described as a miracle.

This is the sound that will make everything irretrievable, and it is the revelation that the diabolical miracle of heaven has made to Moby Dick.

[-Yo.] It's quite unpleasant to look face-to-face like this, you]

The beluga whale's nose felt a very slight touch.

At the same time as noticing the insignificant presence that landed on his forehead, the beluga whale also smelled the magic fluctuations emitted by the ice spear that should have passed by but disappeared without a trace.

-- Then, on the top of the head, the source of the unbearable stench.

[Hey!Sun thief!] Black Thirteen roared loudly...
