Chapter 506 – Holy War
◈
While King Yaseo was charging towards the monsters with the Knights of the Round Table and the knights of each order, I stood a little further away with my lovers.
The reason was simply that since there were so many monsters swarming, it would be inefficient for me and King Yaseo to be in the same place.
However, just in case, one of my clones is with King Yaseo right now.
King Yaseo or the other Knights of the Round Table.
And the knights, while fighting the monsters, it’s important to keep up appearances that they protected Camel, but if their lives are in danger, I’ll use my clone to use telekinesis to make them evade or use magic to block Hydra if it tries to use a wide-range attack.
“Hey, Rent.”
“Why, Noah?”
“What should we do today? Watch? Or should we step in?”
“Hmm~ What do you want to do, Noah?”
“Well, I’m an adventurer, so I want to step in… but this isn’t divided like a dungeon, and I might just get in Rent’s way if I do? So, this time, I’ll just watch Rent’s cool side.”
“Then, I’ll lift you into the sky, so watch from there. Is that okay with everyone?”
“Yeah, it’s fine.”
“Go, go, Rent!”
Elsie, Noah, and Ms. Ninya chose to go up and cheer me on.
“I wish I could use magic too… but with that scale, it’s better for Rent to handle it. But are you really okay? Isn’t there too many?”
“Mr. Rent, are you really okay on your own?”
Tikia and Tina were worried about me.
“I can help my husband too, you know?”
Raifa clenched her fist, expressing her desire to join in.
“Rather, why are those three so calm?”
Gracia was puzzled by the three’s attitude.
“Huh? Well… ah~ well, Tina isn’t an adventurer, and the three of them didn’t see it directly during the flood.”
“See what? Noah, what do you mean by ‘it’?”
“Rent handling the monsters overflowing from the flood… and the aftermath. Honestly, compared to the monsters overflowing in the dungeon, the monsters coming now are just cute.”
“Hehe, don’t worry, let’s just watch Rent’s cool side for now. And… when it’s all over, let’s love Rent with our bodies all excited from seeing Rent’s performance♡ That’s better for Rent too, right?”
“The best!”
“Well… if Ninya says so…”
“Raifa and I will also cheer for our husband.”
“Go, Mr. Rent!”
“…I might pee my pants, so leave one clone here. I’ll make some clothes to change into.”
“Okay.”
The scale of magic I’ll be using this time will probably be large, so Tikia, who is particularly sensitive to magic, might do that.
But I think it’s also good to have her pee and then I wipe it off myself!
So, I want to say that she can pee as much as she wants, but if I did, Tikia would probably hit me with her staff and get angry, so I’ll refrain from saying it.
After creating another clone, I said to my lovers.
“Ah… when this situation is over, I have something to tell everyone. I’m thinking of telling Melisa, Leni… and Miranda too when we get back.”
“Huh? What is it?”
“There’s someone I want to introduce.”
At my words, Tikia’s eyes turned cold.
“…Don’t tell me you made another woman here? Or did you make one in Pledan?”
“Mr. Rent…”
“Haaah♡♡ Re, Rent again… ugh♡”
“Hahahaha! Gracia! It seems we’ll have a new younger sister!”
“My husband is a great male, so it’s natural for females to follow him. …But experiencing it is complicated.”
“Hmm~ It’s been two months since Raifa and Gracia started dating… well, I guess it’s possible?”
“What kind of woman is she, Rent?”
Oh, when I said I wanted to introduce someone, everyone’s thoughts are all focused on that.
No, it’s true that the person I want to introduce is a woman, and considering my past record, it’s understandable.
But it’s not a new woman!
“I’ll tell you all about it later. For now, please watch me.”
And I used my clone to move my lovers into the air, then looked at the Giant Cyclops.
First, I decided to take charge of that Giant Cyclops.
I don’t plan to defeat it right now… but I need to stop its movements.
“Your turn will come later…”
Using telekinesis, I moved near the Giant Cyclops in an instant.
“Stay still for now!”
Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I immediately activated magic.
What I activated was a kind of bind magic where huge facts rose from under the Giant Cyclops’ feet and restrained it.
Huge chains wrapped around the Giant Cyclops’ body, stopping its huge steps.
Kroaaaaaaaat!
The Giant Cyclops, deprived of its freedom, roared loudly and tried to break the chains made of magic.
But it was impossible for the Giant Cyclops to break the chains made with my magic.
Okay, I’ve restrained it, so now…
I looked down at the monsters rushing towards Camel without hesitation, even after seeing the restrained Giant Cyclops.
Now that I’ve restrained it, should I try to defeat the small monsters all at once?
While I was thinking that, Noah spoke to me through my clone.
“Rent! Let’s do that! That! Ex~ Calibuuuurrr~!”
“Uh… there’s a real Excalibur, is it okay to do that?”
“We’re far away from King Yaseo anyway! He won’t hear! Let’s do a big one!”
“I, I want to see Rent’s cool side too!”
“If it’s that, is it the one you used when you defeated King Antra?”
“Yeah! That one!”
Honestly, I feel a little guilty, but as Noah said, King Yaseo and I are quite far apart.
Besides, if I’m going to deal with this many monsters at once… I also want to use Excalibur (self-proclaimed) and deal with them coolly.
Okay! Let’s do it!
Besides, King Yaseo hasn’t clashed with King Hydra and the monster horde yet.
Here, I’ll sweep away the monster horde in large numbers first to help raise morale!
Tap!
I landed on top of the chained Giant Cyclops and looked at the large number of monsters rushing towards Camel.
Goblins, orcs, ogres, kobolds, and other various monsters I haven’t seen yet.
The monsters, as if they had activated Berserk, were running only forward.
Extending my hand forward, I released a large amount of magic and created the optimal sword I was thinking of.
To set the mood, I also created a create sound and added a plausible, solemn-sounding BGM.
What I imagined was a huge golden sword with a large blade, capable of sweeping away countless enemies.
Whoooooooom!
Holding the sword with the huge blade, I raised it diagonally and prepared to swing it.
First, I adjusted my position so that I wouldn’t hit the Giant Cyclops behind me.
“Flame…”
I swung the sword towards the oncoming monsters.
“Excaliburrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”
Whoooooooooom!
As the huge sword was swung, it swept away countless monsters.
Kieeeeeeeek!?!?
Kroaaaaaak!!!
Keeeeeiiiing!!
Countless monsters were bisected.
The heated sword strike both cut and prevented blood from gushing out of the monsters’ wounds.
Not only that, but the aftereffects of the wind caused by the swing also blew away the monsters that weren’t directly touched by the sword.
The feeling of sweeping away and blowing away countless monsters.
It feels so good.
Besides.
“Go, go, Rent! One more! One more!”
“It’s a bigger and more robust sword than last time♪”
“It’s really absurd. Good, I didn’t pee my pants.”
“Kyaaaaak! You’re so cool, Rent!”
“Wow… my husband could do something like that?”
“He’s truly the strongest male… I’m ashamed of my hasty worries.”
“Mr. Rent, you’re amazing…”
My lips are twitching up at my lovers’ praise.
“Okay! I’ll do one more!!!!”
In high spirits, I swung my sword once again.
◈
“Hahahaha! Amazing!”
While charging towards Hydra and the monsters, King Yaseo burst into laughter after seeing the Flame Excalibur I had unleashed.
And turning to the back, King Yaseo shouted.
“Look, knights! The Giant Cyclops is unable to move, and countless monsters are being subjugated!”
I could feel the morale of the knights running increase at King Yaseo’s shout.
“However! We cannot just rely on the Dungeon Crasher’s help! Camel is our country! Now! Proud knights of Camel! Let’s prove that we are not inferior to the Dungeon Crasher!”
“Waaaaaaaah!!!”
Two more minutes until they clashed with the monsters, and their morale exploded.
“You’re amazing.”
“If I can’t do this much as a king, what use am I? But you really can increase your numbers.”
“Thanks to that, I’m happy that I can spend time with my lovers at the same time.”
“I’m envious of that! Hahahaha! By the way… that’s your Excalibur.”
“Ah… d, did you hear?”
King Yaseo smiled and said.
“The hearing of the rabbit beastmen is excellent. Especially my ears.”
“S, sorry. The name Excalibur is so cool…”
“Hahahaha! What is there to apologize for! When I was young and couldn’t hold Excalibur myself, I often held a wooden sword and swung it while shouting Excalibur!”
Oh, to hear such an episode from his childhood.
“King Yaseo was quite a rascal in those days.”
Merlin, who was running alongside King Yaseo, joined the conversation.
He’s a mage, but his spec as a court mage is not just for show, he’s running incredibly fast.
“You were a mage who was always devoted to magic even in those days.”
“What are you talking about? I am also a devout follower of Solisin, so I also focused on socializing with women. I am still a star of the night streets.”
“Merlin.”
“Ahem, I said something unnecessary.”
Merlin was surprisingly cheerful.
While we were talking, the distance to Hydra narrowed to right in front of us.
“Should I restrain it like the Giant Cyclops?”
“Thank you, but we can’t leave it all to Rent. Please leave this to me.”
As he said that, the moment Merlin held his staff, a vast amount of magic swirled from Merlin’s body, and at the same time, a huge magic circle appeared around Hydra.
“This is perfect when dealing with huge monsters.”
Shaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!
The moment Hydra stretched out its huge neck to attack us, Merlin chanted a spell.
“Gravity!”
Kuuuuuuuuuung!!!
Shaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!
Hydra’s nine heads slammed into the ground, creating a dust storm.
“Disperseeeeeeeeee!!! Sir Agrava! Sir Volf! Sir Redmod, lead the knights and take charge of subjugating the monsters from behind! The other Knights of the Round Table, stand by!”
“We obey!”
It was when the Knights of the Round Table were about to move according to King Arthur’s orders.
“Hmm?!”
Shaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Even after receiving Merlin’s Gravity, Hydra raised its nine heads all at once.
“H, his strength is immense!”
Moreover, Hydra was gathering masses of magic that felt like various attributes from each of its mouths.
Just by looking at it, I could tell it was planning to use magic cannons tailored to each attribute.
The knights were still grouped together, unable to disperse.
If this continues, they’ll be annihilated.
“King Yaseo, I’ll…”
When I was about to say that I would spread a wide magic barrier to block it, King Yaseo reached out his arm and stopped me.
“It’s okay. Rather, leave this attack to me, Rent.”
“King Yaseo?”
“How can I not protect my vassals as a king? It’s very important to show the dignity of a king at times like this.”
Saying that, King Yaseo smiled and equipped a lime-green buckler shield with Solisin’s face drawn on it from the inventory on his waist.
“Magic Gear Release.”
The powerful magic of King Yaseo, which I had also felt in the arena, gathered in the buckler, and the central part of the buckler bulged out, scattering magic around it.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!
Pooooooong!!!
The moment Hydra unleashed a huge magic cannon, King Yaseo shouted.
“Prydwen!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!
The magic cannons that Hydra fired collided with the magic that King Yaseo scattered.
A huge roar erupted, and the light created by the magic cannons made the surroundings dazzling.
However, those magic cannons would never injure King Yaseo and the knights who came to the battlefield.
The moment the magic cannons subsided, King Yaseo gathered the scattered magic and, having protected all his vassals from Hydra’s magic cannons, raised his pure white sword high again and shouted.
“Disperseeeeeeeeee!!!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Although small in stature, the majesty that King Yaseo exuded was that of a great hero from fairy tales and legends.
