Chapter 179 – Night of the Tentacles (2)
Night of tentacle monsters.
A knight as white as a snowflake runs away from the city center.
As if lining up with the hovering tentacle dragon, Claire’s speed was gradually increasing.
The hood snaps away in the wind, revealing a pretty face.
Silver hair tied back, blue eyes with determination.
A beautiful white flower that everyone admires and praises.
However, if you take off her skin, she is also a superhuman who has reached a level that her culprit cannot understand.
A girl who was destined to be lonely because of her natural talent.
The survivor of Nora Village, the master of white flowers, and the one who killed the terrible Luter family.
The kingdom’s strongest knight leader is now.
Face the great threat looming over the city.
She was finally within sight of the Chokkikai.
‘I have to lure them to a place where there are no people!’
Where possible, where evacuation has already been completed.
Buildings collapsing is unavoidable, but it’s better than killing people in droves.
Claire knew very well that if the battle with the tentacle dragon started, he and the surrounding area would not be all right.
When I carefully tried to lure the tentacle dragon to the waterside outside the city….
‘A child crying?’
Claire stopped her feet and looked around her.
“Aww!”
Alas.
There was a child who fell off the evacuation procession.
“Mom? Where are Mom and Dad?”
“Hey…”
Where a girl who appears to be about 5 to 6 years old points,
Two adults, a man and a woman, presumed to be parents, were crushed by the rubble of a building.
Claire hugged the crying girl.
“Her sister will watch over you!”
It was a promise that could not be kept.
There is absolutely not enough time for the child to evacuate.
However, Claire’s voice was desperate enough to stop the girl’s trembling.
“Sister… I will protect you.”
Keep
I will protect you no matter what!
“Yes…!”
“Go back!”
Like carrying all the curses in the world,
A tentacle dragon burning in a muddy red flies towards Claire.
‘Fast… !’
It’s a huge thrust. It was already right in front of you.
However, Claire does not back down.
‘I have no choice but to offset it right before the impact!’
Tail wagging? Claw scratching? Or a tentacle breath?
It doesn’t matter what kind of attack it is.
The moment it descends into the sky and stretches out its hand, all it can do is strike the strongest blow and turn it into nothingness!
Perong!
The oriented tentacle dragon generates a shock wave and accelerates further.
The attacks of the tentacle are tail slap, claw scratch, tentacle breath…… It was nothing.
Body slap.
Chokkai hit Claire with a super-massive dragon floating in the sky.
Aaaaang!!
The Bunker Buster, which burns the tentacle dragon’s life itself, was as predicted to Aira.
30% of the city was blown away like dust.
Hundreds of homes collapsed like crushed tofu from the shockwave, and the walls surrounding the city’s outskirts evaporated without leaving a trace.
But what is surprising.
Seen from above, it was a V shape, and only where Claire was standing was out of the realm of absolute destruction.
At first glance, it can be said that it is an attack designed to kill God,
〈 Bunker Buster 〉, which I thought was overinvestment…….
Against Claire, it was just a check attack.
If it’s Claire, she’ll be able to withstand this much, I read the Chokkai.
That judgment was very accurate.
Before long, the body of the tentacle dragon that trampled on the ground seemed to be lifted with great power.
A silver sword protruded like a needle from the tip of the flesh and began to cut the tentacle dragon’s torso in half.
Bright red blood gushed up.
Chow ah!!
Claire’s response was extremely simple.
His stepping forward gave him space and enough strength to swing his sword.
While offsetting the impact with a lightning-like sword strike, the tentacle dragon split in half.
The silver-haired knight who finally appeared between the split torsos was unharmed and unharmed.
However, it wasn’t a girl.
No matter how much the shock was offset, it wasn’t damage that the child could endure.
The heart of the girl Claire swore to protect has stopped,
Paradoxically, Claire’s consciousness transcended everything and was used to read the battle situation down to a single cell.
Human emotions disappear, and we just immerse ourselves.
Get over that
Swing your sword and cut it.
The gene for the sword that Claire had from birth, that does not allow defeat, shouts.
You can bell!
Whoa!
The sky is stained with blood. The white flames burned fiercely with the wind.
Claire, who split the body of the tentacle dragon, was pushed out of the shock
He was penetrating the enemy’s movements as he poised for the next attack.
With 〈 mind 〉 focused all the nerves… !
Cut enemies as soon as you see them!
“Welcome”
However, Claire’s target didn’t fall to just one.
Inside the tentacle monster’s dragon body, a huge number of tentacles were tightly packed.
Hundreds of tentacle flies, bigger than Claire.
‘…… Cut!!’
Disgust could no longer disturb Claire’s mind.
Claire cuts through all the red giant flies that cling to her.
Even Chokkai admired the movement.
Kill as many creatures as possible with the fewest moves.
Claire’s swordsmanship was perfect, to the point of wondering why she felt the beauty in such an act.
But.
“Sister… Please save me…”
Claire’s concentration was broken at the sound of that faint voice.
Looking back. At that place.
There was a tentacled bear that imitated human voices.
Instead of a head, the large tentacles sprouted from the cut end made a sound.
Shuuk!!
“Ugh!!”
Claire slashed his left arm after taking a second glance.
He hastily twists his body, but leaves deep scratches.
On the other side looking back,
A red-haired female swordsman in a black suit stood with a tentacle sword.
An integrated mask and hood connected as an extension of the suit cover Sirocco’s face.
She said into her mask.
“Sorry, Claire.”
Haha….”
“Because back-and-forth is my mean husband’s taste.”
Shuk.
After Sirocco swiped her tentacle sword once, brushing her blood into the air around her.
Took off her mask
“Sirocco… Older sister…?”
Claire’s lips quivered.
[Tentacle Armor Synchronization… 100%]
[Tentacle Armor Synchronization… 101%]
Shhh.
Sirocco’s red hair glowed lightly, and the heat from her body was cooled by the water-cooling mechanism.
Power from the start.
The hard, tentacled two-handed sword she pulled herself from her gate, though seemingly long and thin as a precarious fishbone.
Its hardness is truly a national treasure.
“Sister… Why…?”
“I told you not to call me sister.”
Sirocco glared at her sharply.
“Come to your senses. Can you protect people like that?”
“Why are you encouraging me when I’ve been mentally attacking you?”
“Oops.”
Sirocco, who shared a trivial joke, smiled coolly and grabbed her sword right away.
“Goes!”
Empty!
Sirocco, who specializes in her defensive swordsmanship, rarely spurns her ground and approaches her opponent first.
Claire wasn’t ready for that.
The fact that her opponent is her dear sister Sirocco, her mental state is completely broken.
She trembled, barely getting the tentacle sword.
Claire is in danger of collapsing every moment.
“Is this all?!”
“Ah….Kuu…!!”
Again, the tentacle bear sings from behind.
This time it was Clopas voice.
“Captain… Please take care of Diana….”
“Stop it!!”
It’s vicious bullying.
Digging into Claire’s tender heart.
However, in the race for survival where her life is at stake, her soft heart may itself be her weakness.
If you don’t overcome, you die.
The physicality of Sirocco, which brought out 100% of the potential of her tentacle armor,
It was too strong for Claire to handle.
However, Sirocco was also surprised.
‘I can’t completely push it out. Even though I’m suppressing it with the flame of the loser.’
She already gives Claire heat and gives her damage.
However, Claire also pushed back Sirocco while defending herself with white flowers.
With swords crossed, she balances for a moment.
Claire backs away from her, dodging Sirocco’s stab.
“Are you still shivering?”
“……I didn’t shake.”
Claire’s eyes fell sadly.
“I wonder if there was one more child I couldn’t save, I just lost my mind.”
Covered in the tentacle dragon’s flesh, this place is completely a domain of tentacles.
Surrounded by tentacles in all directions, Claire can rely on
There was only one knife that had already lost a tooth.
“I’m glad I don’t have any more kids like that.”
「Claire」
“Chokgae. Where are you hiding again?”
“I’m facing you properly this time.”
“…”
She seems to have noticed the tentacle armor.
If you are a master like Claire, you can easily feel the changes in Sirocco’s body.
“Come with me”
“I do not like it.”
Claire didn’t ask the reason for Sirocco’s betrayal.
As if she thought that talking about something like that would only make her sadder since she could not be turned back.
“Sirocco. I’m very angry right now.”
“…”
“I will also pay back the enemies of Uncle Clopas and Uncle Jonas here.”
“I can’t lose either.”
With a very serious face.
Sirocco pointed her sword at Claire and said.
‘…….’
Claire glanced at the cut.
Sirocco’s Tentacles The tentacles wrapped around the sword are equipped with densely serrated teeth.
The deep wounds were completely torn with the grain of the sword, and the bleeding did not stop.
It’s time limited.
Also, tentacles surrounding Claire.
It seemed that Chokgoe had no intention of going too hard at all.
Clearing her breath, Claire squeezed her sword.
“I’ve read all the way to the bottom.”
As if thinking of a bad joke, she smiled faintly in this heavy atmosphere.
Like her little brother, playing pranks on her dear sister.
Sirocco tilted her head.
“… Huh? What are you talking about?”
“……I will never lose!!”
