Chapter 87 – Large Monsters – Part 2
Avon Franz is a man who has lived through an era of real war.
The experience of living in the battlefield since he was a child created Avon Franz today.
The golden lion of the Franz family.
Golden Franz.
The one who achieves victory and prosperity.
The war of conquest, which started with Avon Franz’s father, ended with the Brahms Dynasty being defeated in a decisive battle.
Not just from Avon, but from his father. Franz’s bloodline wasn’t on the side of greedy for power in the first place.
What you want is war and victory.
The bloodline of Franz, who was savage to the point of being violent.
There was also a problem with sexual desire and a problem with his second generation, so his lineage itself was almost destroyed.
Therefore, they decided to control themselves.
Don’t draw the sword first.
Protect the people
Do your noble duty.
The savage clan of Franz thus earned respect, awe, and faith.
His successor, Avon Franz, took the lineage seriously.
I was born on the battlefield and grew up on the battlefield.
To curb the savagery of their lineage, they have fulfilled their duties as nobles, and have always kept an eye on the surrounding territories to satisfy their desires.
If there is a justification, you can draw the sword.
The Müller War wasn’t enough to relieve the stress, but the first war in a long time helped relieve some of it.
So are you careless?
No, it’s not.
Avon Franz considered it once again.
Nobles always strengthen their bodies with magic.
However, if you really strengthen it, it will interfere with your daily life. The maids and maids couldn’t even stand nearby, and the house itself, including the furniture, would be a mess.
The strength of the reinforcement is not that strong, but it is maintained at a level that can be further reinforced immediately depending on the surrounding situation.
I also checked the report from Franz.
A report that a monster presumed to be a large stealth type has appeared.
There were soldiers and knights around, and Avon Franz himself also did not let go of his vigilance.
Based on that fact, he must have been more sensitive than usual to be wary of his surroundings.
Just in case.
“Count!”
“Take Avon-sama!”
“Get ready for defense!”
“Medicine!”
Avon Franz grabbed his shoulder and blocked his senses with his magic power.
He objectively grasped his condition and looked ahead.
It was black
It was black and long, and above all, it appeared suddenly.
“Huh.”
– Pop, pop!
The blood from his shoulder soaked the ground.
Should he lament his foolishness of being careless for a moment? Or should I praise that predator who is more capable than I thought?
“Feel so good.”
Avon’s mouth twisted.
I accepted that the pain I felt after a long time was to blame myself.
Didn’t you care? Did you set a boundary?
“It’s just an excuse.”
“Eh, Mr. Avon!”
I saw Grace’s handmaid approaching her, her pale face.
The wave of magical power felt in the maid’s hand showed traces of the Hemillion family. When I gestured for her to get out of the way, the maid who hesitated immediately moved behind her. Her healing would help, but unfortunately I don’t have time for that.
“Kurrrr!”
Is it about 20m? Thin and long body. A body covered in scales and distinctive torn eyes. I feel the magical power of Avon’s right arm gradually disappearing from its mouth.
“Aven! Back off!”
“We will buy you time!”
He had left most of his forces at Müller, but the Golden Lion Knights who had followed him immediately rushed to prepare for defense.
“It is done.”
“… All right! Power retreat! Don’t disturb Avon-sama!”
“Retreat!”
The knights immediately retreated at Avon’s words.
I don’t know if they were as helpful as the knight commander, but unfortunately they would only be a hindrance.
Immediately, knights and soldiers, including handmaidens and maids and other non-combatants, retreated in an instant.
“… Hmm.”
In the meantime, it was staring at Avon quietly. The sight of him licking his lips and licking the blood on his lips with his tongue was like a gourmet who was savoring delicacies.
“Like. Epicurean. That’s fine. Do it as a gourmet. Yes. Was my flesh and blood so delicious?”
Avon, who finished stopping the bleeding with magical powers on the shoulder where the dripping blood was flowing, raised his body.
“Krrrr.”
Haha. I thought that I was not stained with peace, that I was different from other idiots, but I was just an old man senile for peace.”
Golden magic surged through Avon’s body.
His disheveled hair fluttered in a golden reverberation, and Avon’s golden eyes burned.
– Swoop!
At the same time, the large-scale monster attached as a gourmet began to move. Was it in response to Avon’s movements? The 20m long body moves, but no sound is heard. Complete silence. Even though it was in Avon’s field of vision, he could see it slowly disappearing. I could feel even the signs of his magical powers fading.
“Uh huh. No, no.”
There will be no escape
He is a man with a strong appetite. If he sees the eyes that covet his body, he will aim for himself again. So he must end here. If I miss it here and return to Franz, that guy will follow me all the way to the city.
The magical power that sprang from Avon’s body began to gather behind him and take a gigantic form.
The golden lion of the Franz family.
As if furious at the wounds of his own master, the golden lion charged with his eyes glowing.
* * *
Large-scale monsters can be said to be natural disasters.
Even Black, who is considered the weakest, has such a huge body and endless stamina. The hard leather can be damaged only when numerous knights unite, risking their lives to induce an attack by using themselves as bait, and can barely kill them with a group attack.
Aristocrats would also be easy opponents, but it was a large-scale monster that could die in a moment of carelessness.
Then, what would happen if aristocrats who had reached a natural disaster as human beings collided with a large-scale monster that could be said to be such a natural disaster?
-Quaaaaang!
When two huge monsters collide, an explosion hits the area with the sound of tearing the air.
Soldiers who had already moved away lost their balance due to the vibration and collapsed.
“Go back to the city and bring Leoric!”
Except for the troops to escort the non-combatants, the knights who were confident in running took off their armor and immediately ran.
The rest of the knights also move straight ahead, leading people.
Through the shock transmitted, they can still feel the protection of their master, Avon Franz.
If it doesn’t help, don’t bother.
“Go away… !”
-Kuuuuu!
“Quaaaaa!”
“Aaaaagh!”
A huge vibration swept over the area.
Is it like an earthquake? Many people lose their balance and fall. Supporting them, the knight looked back to where the owner was.
The monster was biting the golden lion’s neck.
* * *
-Quaaaaang!
The massive body immediately disappeared and appeared from a completely different direction.
It is not a hidden area. The method of moving by folding the space itself has no pre-delay and post-delay. Gourmets who naturally fold the space and freely move around the area.
Even now, after striking the golden lion with its huge body, the moment the golden lion stumbled, the gigantic gourmet’s mouth appeared from the air and bit the golden lion.
“I guess one is not enough.”
No matter how magically he stopped the bleeding, parts of his body were torn off. Avon’s complexion was pale, but he spoke with ease as if he was used to it, and at the same time as he took his hand into a strange shape, another golden lion appeared near him.
“Ask.”
“Kreuuuk!”
Seeing another golden lion appearing again, the golden lion’s front leg, which was biting the body of the one who was about to leave immediately, struck hard.
– Whoa!
“Kwaaaaa!”
“Did you think you wouldn’t know that the moment you try to hide, your mana is fading?”
The moment she tried to hide, a faint movement of magical power wrapped around the gourmet’s body. A strike aimed at that fleeting moment. Gourmet, who did not miss the movement of his magical power so secretly that he recognized it only after seeing him hide several times, was immediately slammed to the ground.
“Kwaaah!”
The huge body wriggles, but there is no sound. A strange phenomenon in which only the shock resounds loudly when a gourmet is stuck. However, Avon calmly controlled his magic. The moment when another golden lion is about to pounce on the gourmet at his beckoning.
“Kreuk!”
The eyes that were sharply torn like reptiles began to shine translucently.
Avon, who watched it with the eyes of a golden lion, immediately raised his sense of magical power to the extreme.
This is it.
No matter how careless Even if he is senile to peace. It makes no sense to not notice the stealth.
Then there is something. A unique ability that this guy has. The ability to simply hide and not be silent.
As Avon had guessed, the body of the gourmet, who had been bitten and rolling on the floor, disappeared in an instant.
“…”
The area that becomes quiet.
In a space where even the flow of mana, including the presence, became quiet, two golden lions escorted Avon at the center.
“…”
The first surprise attack could only be described as fortunate.
If instinct hadn’t warned him, the surprise might have devastated his head.
Avon prepared thoroughly. Contrary to his increasingly pale face, his senses began to sharpen. In preparation for an unexpected situation, he concentrated his strength to the extent that he couldn’t even protect the faraway knights this time, and the magic power he felt from the golden lion looking around grew larger and larger.
Avon Franz was not caught off guard.
However, large-scale monsters sometimes come and go, and there are objects with abilities that transcend common sense.
Gourmet’s gigantic mouth didn’t aim at Avon Franz.
A space with Avon Franz.
As if trying to cut and eat the space itself, the huge mouth was about to tear the space apart.
“You lizard!”
The light of the sun shone in the sky.
