The Three Knights of the Royal Guard and the Red-Skinned Man
* * *
And so, the Three Knights of the Royal Guard, having rushed out to the surface, came across a swarm of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns.
After Nikkor of the Sun Swords attack with his magic sword Bright, the next to move was Byun of the Wind Bow!
Byun, running around the perimeter of the circular fountain square in front of the palace, where the Neverfall-kuns were swarming, at a speed like the wind, readied his greatbow.
This greatbow is a treasured magic weapon of the royal family, granted to him by the King when he was appointed as one of the Three Knights of the Royal Guard!
Magic bow Infinite, activate!!
When Byun shouted its name, a green light emanated from the elegantly decorated bow shaft!
After a few moments, that light gathered at both ends of the bow shaft and created a fantastical, glowing string, formed by mana!
Haaaaaaaaaaah!
Byun drew the string of light, all the way backwithout an arrow and released it!
And then, what happened!?
BYUUUUUUUN!!
Triggered by that action, an arrow, formed from magical wind with a pale green tint, was created!
And that arrow split the air, flying straight towards the swarm of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns and pierced through three of them at once!
Its power is tremendous, being able to pierce through multiple Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, whose bodies are made of sturdy magic ore!
Haa! Haa! Haa!
Byun continued firing those powerful, magical arrows, one after another.
The Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns were unable to cope with the attacks coming at them from all directions, and could only run around in confusion.
It can fire powerful, magical arrows as long as the user has mana that is the power of the magic bow Infinite!
Fufu Byun-kun, youre fired up, arent you?
Shito-Shitorin of the Rain Staff, watching Byuns valiant efforts, smiled
As your senior, I have to show my best performance here, too Magic staff Death Rain activate!
She swung her magic staff Death Rainlarger than her height, shaped like a swirling cloudaround and around!
And then, white smoke billowed out from the hole at the tip of the staff and it started forming something like a cloud above the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns.
Well suppress you! Well suppress you! Well suppress you!
Of course, the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns arent just going to stand there and watch Shito-Shitorin.
They rush towards Shito-Shitorin, who is continuously swinging her staff, one after another, but
Yaa Haaah!!
They cant get close, blocked by the giant staff, being swung around as if dancing!
This magic staff Death Rain is extremely heavy and hard.
GOGIIN!!
GAGOGO!!
A Riot Suppression Neverfall-kun, carelessly stepping into Shito-Shitorins range, is struck on the side by Death Rain, sending him flying, taking down several others!
Now its about time, I suppose.
While all of this was going on, Death Rain continued to emit smoke, and before they knew it, a large raincloud had formed above a group of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns.
Shito-Shitorin glanced at the raincloud, raised Death Rain high above her head and slammed it onto the cobblestones and shouted!
Acid Rain!!
ZAAAAAAAAAAH!
And then, suddenly, rain, like a squall, started pouring down from the raincloud above the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns!
And its not just any rain its poisonous rain with a strong corrosive effect!
Well suppress you! Well, suppress, y-y-you Su-su-su Well, chi-chi-chi-chi-chi
The Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, drenched in the poisonous rain, their bodies melting shut down, one after another!
While watching his two subordinates valiant efforts, Nikkor of the Sun Sword continued to slash down the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, one after another, wielding the sword issued to ordinary knights in his left hand, while holding his magic sword Bright high in his right hand.
Pika!
Pika, pika!!
Then, suddenly, Bright, which Nikkor was holding up, started shining brightly!
This magic sword, Bright, can unleash a powerful blow by absorbing a certain amount of light!
With the intense light as a signal, Nikkor swung Bright horizontally!
Light Flying Slash!!
And then, a slash of light was unleashed, at a speed that was impossible to follow with the naked eye!
The slash of light, unleashed horizontally, spread over a wide area, and once again destroyed dozens of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, cutting them clean in half!
The magic sword Bright has the disadvantage of requiring a longer charging time than the magic staff Death Rain, but its power is undeniable!
And so, the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns were being reduced, one after another, by the efforts of the Three Knights of the Royal Guard.
(We can do this We can win!)
Byun, still running around, disrupting the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, was convinced of that, and grinned.
But however.
It was too early to think that, to let his guard down!
The next moment!
Everyone! Gather!
The leader of the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns, standing in the center of the swarm, shouted that order, jumping up and down, DOSHIN-DOSHIN!
Understood!!
And then, all the Riot Suppression Neverfall-kun stopped fighting the Three Knights of the Royal Guard and started gathering, piling up, forming a giant ball of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kuns!
Wh-What!?
In the short time Byun and the others were startled by the sudden turn of events, and stopped
Arms were formed from the spherical mass of Riot Suppression Neverfall-kun, legs were formed, a head was formed!
Complete!! Combined Neverfall-kun, Riot Annihilation Mode!!
It transformed into a super giant Combined Neverfall-kun!
Haa Now thats a bigger target I appreciate it!
Byun, although sweating, put up a brave front, and immediately resumed firing Infinite.
But Combined Neverfall-kuns armor is thick!
No matter how many times he fires, the wind arrows pierce Combined Neverfall-kuns surface, but they cant stop him!
UWAAAAAAH!!
Combined Neverfall-kun, looking at Byunwho was half in a panic, his face contorted, desperately firing Infinite, unable to moveas if he was an annoying insect
And then
Rioters and scalpers will be annihilated!
He swung his giant fist straight at Byun!
A-Ah Ah
Its speed is tremendous.
Byun, enveloped in subjective time, which suddenly started flowing slowly, was
Unable to move his legs to escape.
He could only watch as the giant fist approached
(Is this the end? Is this it!?)
Byun, sensing his death in the approaching fist, his eyes wide with fear.
He gritted his teeth in frustration.
But it was at that moment!
Red Ogre Transmission, First Secret Art
Suddenly, Byuns vision was blocked by a muscular, red-skinned back.
Someone got in front of Byun!
Eh!?
That someone, paying no attention to the surprised Byun, took a half-turned stance, his muscles bulging.
And then
Red Ogre Piercing Fist!!
He swung his fist towards the approaching giant fist of Combined Neverfall-kun!
And then, surprisingly!
DOGGOOOOOON!!
The result of the clashing fists!
The one that shattered and was blown away, unable to withstand the impact was actually the fist of Combined Neverfall-kun, which should be overwhelmingly larger and heavier!
GAHAHAHAHA! Too light, too light!
The red-skinned man who blew away Combined Neverfall-kuns fist laughed heartily, swinging his arm around and around.
Eh, eh, huh?
Byun, who had fallen on his bottom, his legs giving out, was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, his mouth flapping open and closed.
And the one who spoke to this intruder, in Byuns place is Nikkor of the Sun Sword, the captain of the Sky Kingdom Royal Knights.
Nikkor, looking dumbfounded, said to this red-skinned man
Commander!
Thats what he called out.
Youre the Commander now, idiot, Nikkor.
The red-skinned man Yuuhi, who was called out, squinted kindly, glancing at Nikkor standing next to him.
Ill help you, Commander-sama. You guysare a little out of shape!!
He said that, then once again assumed a fighting stance, facing Combined Neverfall-kun, who was recovering!
Im grateful!!
Nikkor of the Sun Sword also assumed a stance, wielding two swords in both hands, facing Combined Neverfall-kun.
Hey, you, Onee-chan over there and the brat whos lying down. Dont just stand there, dumbfounded. Hmm? Are you already too scared to move?
Shito-Shitorin, with a sullen expression at Yuuhis cheap provocation, silently assumed a stance with her staff, and
Thats not true!
Byun hurriedly stood up, and readied his bow, wary of this unidentified man.
Now then I was getting irritated too, because I couldnt have the kind of fight I wanted So Im going to enjoy myself to the fullest!
After confirming that everyone was ready, Yuuhi grinned and, unable to hold back any longer, he attacked Combined Neverfall-kun!
Lets go too!!
Yeah!!
A moment later, the Three Knights of the Royal Guard also attacked Combined Neverfall-kun again!
And so, the final battle in the Sky Kingdom of Neverfall had begun!
