「……Aguu!!?」(Kirika Speaking)
「Ki, Kirika!?」(Sistina Speaking)
The Princess Shouts out. Kirika flies across the air and lands on her knees taking a defensive stance.
Groom’s right hand, almost as if it was some kind of a grotesque drawing, was bulging out like crazy and swelling many times a normal human’s arm, it became fat and long. Was Kirika struck by that?
「Gugugu…….!(Evil laugh) it was going to be so easy to put the Princess in the tower…….But now you dare to obstruct us, how troublesome……! 」
「Groom, Then you really are……?!」
Instead of answering the Princess, the body of a diminutive elderly person started to transform with strange sound (clickety-clack).
He was covered with an exoskeleton of armor grey in color, and became a gigantic figure that rose to a height of about 3 meters. His head was similar to a horse’s skeleton and the black sockets of his eyes were glowing with an eerie blue fire.
Even though I was quite far away, my body started to tremble, I felt an extraordinary overpowering feeling it was sending warning signals to my brain…….This fellow is dangerous!
「This isn’t good, he’s around the Demonic Knight level! Be careful Princess Knight, In terms of hand-to-hand combat, his abilities may even be on par with demons of the fourth rank!!」
Palmyra dashes out according to my instructions, whilst floating around she continuously pumps out purple magic bullets, however Groom was barely effected and only flinched slightly.
「Tsk, We still haven’t recovered our abilities, with this kind of restraint at the most all we can do is create a diversion」
「That crest, you are a demon…..? Why are you following the likes of a human being? 」
「Silence, you are merely a fifth rank demon! We have our own circumstances here! 」
The demon Groom easily swats away the magical bullets coming at him as if it was some sort of annoying fly.
Kirika doesn’t miss the opportunity to strike whilst he is distracted, and she takes on a low stance as if aiming for the legs she swings her sword….However.
「Kuuuu!? The blade is not, connecting…..!?」
A dull metallic sound is made, her blade which was tinged with the holy aura to increase its attack power was easily repelled by Groom’s exoskeleton.
Impossible, Even if he is a demonic knight, having a blade covered with holy energy unable to pierce him is completely ridiculous.
「I was blessed with a special body given to me by Iblis-sama……! It is the ultimate body capable of destroying/overwhelming and obstacles and it will ensure that I can complete my mission of taking the Princess of Prophecy….!!」
「Tsk, It is likely that he is using a dimensional alteration demonic armor, the displacement armor! What a troublesome thing he has in his possession, With the way the Princess Knight is her skill level, she won’t be able to cut him if all she has is an average weapon!」(Palmyra speaking)
If I look carefully, the exoskeleton armor which covers Groom lightly glitters a rainbow color. That is the same thing that bound Sierra in place when she was captured……In other words he was using the dimension itself as a barrier that cannot be pierced by any attacks, what a freaking cheat.
