Is this the power of the Demon King?）
Just like Yao, Sakuya also saw the ominous black fog that covered the sky. The demon wind that was filled with the aura of death and craving for life caused Sakuya's life force to naturally react, as if she had seen a virus 'white blood cells.
Boom! Boom!
But now, there were more important matters that needed to be dealt with first.
At a height of about 300 meters, he boldly occupied all the high points of the castle in Salamanda. The figure hidden in the old cloak could not be seen clearly under the back light. However, the two-meter-long deformed steel that extended out of his sleeve was letting out a rhythmic roar, constantly spitting out bullets that could split gold and break stones.
(So fast!)
Sakuya continued to climb up the outer perimeter of the castle through triangular jumps, but she was constantly complaining about the continuous barrage of bullets. A speed of 3000 shots per minute wasn't impossible for him to dodge. However, his opponent had the ability to predict the speed of the shots. Every time Sakuya jumped up, her path would be filled with steel and gunpowder. No matter how fast she was, she couldn't control her body in the air, and Sakuya's speed was greatly slowed down.
If those bullets were just ordinary bullets, Sakuya could still ignore the attacks that hit her directly by attacking from the front. However, even though the giant Gatling gun in the attacker's hand let out a mechanical roar, not a single bullet shell was thrown out. This was Sakuya's first time seeing an enemy who used firearms in this world of boxers where the Shura gods and Buddhas gathered. She was not interested in using her own body to test whether the power of a Gatling gun without bullets was the same as a real machine gun.
Thud thud thud…
(Are you out of bullets?)
The familiar sound of an empty gunshot suddenly rang out. After a moment of surprise, Sakuya stomped on the ground and crushed a corner of 'Salamandra''s proud castle. Sakuya crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters through the recoil and instantly approached the enemy hiding in the cloak.
Although he didn't know why a machine gun that didn't use bullets would run out of bullets, at least this was an opportunity. The distance between the two sides was about 20 meters, which was a distance that Sakuya could cross in a few zeros.
"-roar, civilization bestows destruction upon mankind. The roar of wisdom scorch and shatter thy body, bury thy dignity under the rubble, and begin the prologue of the Age of Iron.”
It was also at this distance that Sakuya noticed the small figure that had been muttering strange words.
“——！”
Following his instinct, he jumped away. The Gatling gun, which should have been emptied of bullets, roared again, and the steel behemoth rushed over. The bullet that grazed her cheek knocked off Sakuya's hair band, and her red-rimmed glasses also fell to the ground.
Just like her excellent foresight, Sakuya was unable to dodge the barrage of bullets even though she was able to react in time at such a distance.
There was no time to summon the cherry tree from underground. Sakuragi directly transformed his left arm into his original body, and the thick dark brown tree body turned into a shield in front of Sakuya.
Boom! Boom!!!!!!!
"What-!"
The scattering wood shavings proved that Sakuya had been correct in not using her body to test the strength of the Gatling gun. The cherry trees that had the hardness of the earth's crust were like ordinary trees. Although they were not penetrated by a single attack, they were still damaged by a wave of attacks. Although he had expected that it would not be an ordinary Gatling gun, the destructive power was too exaggerated.
"Grow!"
As such, Sakuya, who was unable to escape and didn't want to, immediately changed her strategy.
She shifted the focus from hardness to growth speed. The Sakuragi that was growing out of Sakuya's left hand was growing at an astonishing speed. The bullets that entered the interior were instantly consumed by the Entanglement and turned into nutrients. The Demonic Sakura blossomed with the Flower of Evil.
“………………。”
After determining that a machine gun alone would not be able to stop Sakuragi's advance, the attacker jumped up from the castle. The place where she was originally standing was swept away by Sakuragi in the next moment.
Dong!
Sakuya immediately chased after him. After the two sides had completely reversed their positions, Sakuya saw the face of the attacker who was rapidly falling to the ground.
(Women? No…a girl?)
"... bury your dignity under the rubble-"
"Grow!"
Even as she was falling, Sakuya's face did not change as she continued to move her small lips and spit out syllables. Sakuya understood what she wanted to do, so she summoned a cherry tree that was several times larger than her left arm.
He wanted to control the girl's body before she summoned a second Gatling gun.
“……”
In just a moment, Sakuya seemed to see the girl's innocent smile.
"The wisdom accumulated in human history has turned into a heavy armor that covers my body. Heavy, thick, and resistant to everything-the mobile armor made of brilliant steel.”
(A different chant?)
It was as if it was being played at 64 times the speed. The girl chanted a complete sentence in less than half a second.
The next moment, the girl's tattered cloak was torn apart by the internal expansion, and the cold steel covered the girl's petite body. Behind her, intense blue light instantly shot out.
It burned the branches that extended from the ground to capture her and flew up.
"…It's like a science fiction novel.”
Sakuya, who had landed on the ground, could only say this with a bitter smile.
"Unveil the prologue of the Black Iron Age."
It was only then that she continued the first chant. She held a Gatling gun that was larger than her small body in each hand, and her body was covered in steel armor with flying functions. The girl, who had completely obtained the air superiority, pulled the trigger expressionlessly.
“……”
Sakuya reached out her left hand, which had already returned to its original form, and touched the ground. A brown branch that was even larger than Salamdra's castle instantly emerged from her feet.
"Although I don't know the principle behind it, your machine gun can ignore the hardness of materials, right?”
Sakuya smiled as she turned the giant tree into a spear and pierced it forward in a volume that the girl could hear.
"I should have noticed it long ago…the damage caused by your bullets hitting the ground is exactly the same as the damage caused by my bullets. The hardness of my body didn't hinder it at all. In other words, your attacks are not physical, but are of a concept. No matter what kind of iron wall stood in front of him, it would probably be cut down like an ordinary tree.”
Boom! Boom!!!!!
The roars of the two Gatling guns were endless, but even so, it was nothing to Sakuya, who had the 'geographical advantage.' The branches that were cut off would grow several times in the next moment. With this level of attack, it was impossible to stop Sakuragi's growth.
“………………。”
"I won't let you escape, Little Miss.”
After throwing away the two useless machine guns, the girl wisely chose to rely on her flying advantage to increase the distance between them. However, as long as there was no interference from the machine gun, Sakuya, who was running at the speed of the third universe, quickly caught up with the girl.
"... Unveil the secrets of the Black Iron Age."
"Too slow."
Ignoring the extremely hot gas that was being shot out, Sakuya reached out her hands and grabbed the steel armor's gun, tearing it apart with her physical strength.
The girl's body fell straight to the ground.
“……”
Sakuya slowly approached the girl who was lying in the middle of the crater created by the girl who was falling at a high speed. His left arm was no longer a sleeve because he had turned into a cherry tree. In addition to his previous battle with Pumpkin Jack of Willowisp, Sakuya's body was covered in black marks and damage. Even her glasses and headband had fallen off. This was the most embarrassing appearance he had ever had since he came to Sanduria. Even so, he still had a perfect smile on his face.
“……………………。”
Before Sakuya could get close, the girl sat up as if nothing had happened. She patted the dust off her short skirt. The girl's soft blonde hair gave off the illusion of cream under the sunlight. Other than her big eyes, her sweet and cute facial features were all small parts. She was like a newborn Chihua that made people want to hug her.
It was such a cute girl who was wearing a sci-fi style steel armor and holding a terrifying Gatling gun to attack Sakuya. This joke wasn't funny at all.
"…Here."
"Hmm?"
Sakuya's first reaction was neither to attack nor to flee. Her fair and tender hands were holding something in front of Sakuya.
Those were the glasses he had dropped earlier.
"…Ah…"
As if she had only just realized that her glasses were stained with dust, the girl retracted her hand expressionlessly. She held the frame of her glasses with both hands and rubbed the lenses against her chest, which was completely flat. Seemingly feeling that this was enough, the girl nodded inexplicably and raised her hand again.
"…Pfft, hahahahaha…Thank you.”
Sakuya smiled happily from the bottom of her heart. She put on her glasses, bent down, and held the girl's soft little hand.
"My cute little princess, can you tell me your name?”
"…Puluo, Fite…?”
"Hmm? Did he mean 'prophesier'? Is this the princess 'real name?"
"…I don't know…Master…that's what he calls me.”
"Master…"
Sakuya looked up at the sky that was covered by the dark demonic wind and roughly understood the girl's stance.
"…I'm leaving.”
Before Sakuya could say anything more, Proffitt pulled back his hand. The girl seemed to be a little concerned about that touch. She placed her hand on her chest and tilted her head to think for a while.
"…Probably, he will come again…"
“……”
After saying that, the girl summoned her flying armor again and flew into the distant sky. Sakuya shrugged helplessly after being dumped by the girl.
The demon king was still destroying the city. From the beginning, the sound of battle could be heard from the main street of the city. Sakuya didn't have the time to care about her cute date.
"This ends here!"
A stern voice echoed throughout the entire street. Accompanied by the majestic sound of thunder, Black Rabbit, who was holding a glittering Vajra pestle, stood on the huge heater in the center of the city and issued an inviolable declaration to everyone,
"The request to activate the 'Judgment Authority' has been accepted! Next, the bestowment game " The PIED PILL ER OF HAMelin " must be temporarily suspended for deliberation and resolution! The contestants and the organizers, please stop fighting and quickly prepare for negotiations! I repeat-"
The Demon King's attack had temporarily come to an end.
