The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 109: The Spirit of Military Destruction
"Yeah!"
The floor sloped and Victoria lost her balance and fell.
"What!?"
Kaizo leaned on the side of the ship. He looked at the clouds flowing below and there he saw faintly a floating object.
"That's!?"
A giant shadow was present in the clouds. Like a splitting wave, it split open the clouds to reveal a gigantic black monster that shot out from the clouds.
The total length is about 15 meters. Its appearance is very similar to stingrays swimming in the ocean. The difference with stingrays is that it has large red eyes on its head, and it flies in the sky, not in the ocean.
"Spirit beast!?"
"No, don't tell me, it's the second air unit, the Death Gun extermination spirit." Viona Spellister knitted her brows and muttered that while looking suspiciously.
"What?"
"The main Draconian military spirit. It was supposed to be sealed with the end of the Vinral War, so why is it here?"
"Military spirit..."
A spirit comparable to the cooperation power of some elementalist. He did not know why such a thing would attack the ship, but it was the thing that was happening at the moment.
The fact that the ship is under attack is undeniable. The spirit of military annihilation, Death Gun roared as it glided. Even if the ship had a wind barrier, it was not a battleship.
If it received an attack from such a giant, it would be helpless. The ship's alarm sounds across the deck. The ship made a quick turn and tried to avoid the spirit.
As expected of a cutting-edge technology ship, it has impressive mobility. But it was useless in the presence of such a powerful military spirit.
"That's coming, get ready for a clash!"
A loud voice sounded. A terrifying impact shook the ship and Kaizo's body lifted. The spirit of annihilation had crashed into the side of the ship.
"Fuaa!"
"Kyan!"
"You two, hold me!"
Kaizo quickly covered the two girls who fell to the ground. His heart was racing at the gentleness of their bodies once, but now was not the time to think about that.
"Victoria, are you okay?"
"Fuaaa, ka-you, where did you touch!" Victoria's face was red.
"Where, you say?" Kaizo looked at where he grabbed the two. His hands were stuck in the chest of the two.
"Sorry!" Kaizo quickly pulled out his hand but, Victoria hit him lightly and said, "ro-spirit this perverted slave! Ash, ash!"
"Hey, stop, this is not the time to..."
Victoria kept hitting Kaizo with tears in her eyes. On the other hand, Viona with a flushed face muttered indistinctly, "A-aa, man, touched my da-chest?!" Steam billowed from his face and he fainted.
"H-Hey!" He shook the fallen girl but it seemed like he would not wake up.
"It seems like he's shocked because you touched his chest."
"That was unintentional!"
"Hmmm, I was wondering about that?" Victoria glared at Kaizo as if she was dissatisfied.
(After all, I can't leave it here.)
And just then, the ship shook violently for the second time. The spirit that hit the ship also attacked with its sharp tail ferociously.
"Kaizo, the ship's gonna sink if it keeps this up."
On Victoria's serious face, Kaizo nodded, "Yes, that's right. We don't have much time."
Chaos could be heard under the deck. Even if they were trained elementalists, they were still ordinary girls.
It was a natural result that a surprise attack would cause panic inside the ship. The long-range attacker, Aura, would also have trouble reaching the deck quickly in this mess.
"It looks like we should do this alone."
"It looks like that."
With the last strike, it seemed like the engine had stopped. The ship stopped like a nail had stuck in it and started to fall.
Until the staff get the backup spirit engines working, they must protect the defenseless ship. Kaizo stood up unsteadily and stuck each foot on the gunwale deck.
"Nyx, lend me your strength!"
He pulled the Nyx Rune from his waist and poured out divine power. In response to Kaizo's call, the sword gave off a light.
"Kaizo, it's reckless to fight with the sword. I'll do it."
"No, I'll do it. The whip of fire won't work."
"That's..." Victoria bit her lip. Victoria's fighting style in taking down her opponent was not suitable for a close-term fight. He himself knows it best.
"But what should I do. I can't use magic to fly like Eve."
"As long as I hold on to her and don't fall, isn't that okay?"
"Huh?" Hearing Kaizo's carefree words, Victoria was astonished, "bu-isn't you just a fool!"
"After all, if this continues the ship will sink. It's worth a try."
"But-but..." Victoria held tightly to Kaizo's uniform arm.
"What, are you worried about me?"
"Bu-not that, I'm not worried at all!" Victoria turned her eyes. Although he was arrogant most of the time, but he was really gentle in his heart.
"It's okay. I'll clean it up quick." Kaizo gave a light knock to Victoria's head and a flash of silver white sword disappeared from the side of the ship.
"Gosh, I don't care anymore, you idiot!"
With the wind barrier broken, the sound of the gnawing wind could be heard. On the back of the spirit of destruction whose head was lodged on the side of the ship, Kaizo stabbed him mercilessly.
"Ohhhhhh!"
Piercing through the outer skin, it burrows into the underlying flesh. The spirit of annihilation let out a terrifying cry and started rolling.
On the verge of slipping, Kaizo placed his foot on the outer shell and he gripped his sword with all his might.
To hit the insect on its back, the spirit of destruction folds its body and tries to hit it with its tail, and sway the boat in the process. From the thrashing giants, the ship's armor fell into the forest.
(Ships won't survive at this rate!) Gritting his teeth, he resisted the force of the bone-destroying attack.
(First I had to get rid of that tail!)
Kaizo took out the Nyx Rune with all his strength. Drawn by gravity, he began to fall. However, right before he did, he jumped as hard as he could. He ran over the spirit body rhythmically. It's just a giant body, he thought.
If he simply observes the muscles for contraction and plans his next move before he starts to fall, he can safely reach another footing. Although it was a technique that required extraordinary abilities and fighting prowess.
"I'm sorry, I don't hate you."
Jumping from the gigantic body, Kaizo by holding the demon slayer in both hands, split the spirit tail. His tail twitched as it fell into the forest below. However, Kaizo's body also floated in the air at the same time.
Gravity takes over and starts to pull it. Just before that, something wrapped around his ankle and pulled him back. He was thrown into the air in the next moment, and crashed into the deck of the ship.
"Ouch!" Kaizo is attacked by pain.
"Instead, it burns, so are you going to control your temperature output!?"
The ankles that were tied to the Fire Whip around him were slightly charred.
"It's a punishment for being careless. If I mess up, you'll be a pancake right now."
"I believe that you won't screw up, miss."
"You're really stupid, you know that" murmured the red-faced Victoria indistinctly.
"And here we go!"
With its tail cut off, an angry spirit of destruction charged towards the ship. An attack headed for the deck with its mouth open, baring its countless fangs.
A terrible surprise shook the ship. The pieces of the deck flew and scattered. Kaizo takes the position and protects Victoria from the shards.
