Black Iron Magician

Chapter 519 Silent Rage

「「「DIIEEEEEEE!」」」

Akira’s voice came from the zombies as they were approaching Haruna from the surrounding while roaring. Even though they are zombies, they were alive until a short while ago, so their speed is so fast. In particular, Zool, who reigned at the top of the Great Eight Generals, seems to be far above the rest. Moreover, he has been strengthened that he’s about as fast as Haruna, and she recognizes him as a threat.

(There are more of them than I thought!)

From the footsteps and shouts behind her, Haruna guessed the number of the zombies. There are probably a lot more than she could see, and she could even feel their presence from the corridors of this research facility. Not all of them are imbued with Akira’s parts, but they are still strengthened by the effects of Brave Chain.

「*Gulp*…!」

Haruna decided to focus on crushing those with Akira’s parts, but she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, thinking that it would be hard. However, there’s no hesitation within her. Instead of running away from the huge wave of zombies, Haruna jumped into them herself.

「Hah!」

「Gaa…!」

「Guoooo…!」

When the leading group of zombies was within her attack range, Haruna swung her jet-black weapon sideways. With such a large number of enemies, it would be impossible for Haruna to active her Unique Skill for each of them. However, the power of the god of death still resides in the Doggan Staff. The Doggan Staff’s decorative blade slashed through the strong soldiers and cut them in two. It cut through the flesh and the bones, and then cut through the flesh and bones again. The fury of the super-powerful blade, which allows such recklessness, strikes down the zombies one after another.

「Hmph!」

「Hm?」

Just as it seemed that Haruna’s slashing advance was about to continue, someone stopped the Doggan Staff. They didn’t touch the blade of the Doggan Staff, but hit the handle of Doggan Staff with a weapon to stop it. It is easy to say in words, but it’s difficult to put into practice. And the one who accomplished it was Zool, the one Haruna was cautious of. He slipped into the crowd of zombies and prepared his beloved sword out of Haruna’s sight.

However, it was only for a moment. Stopping the Doggan Staff means that Zool’s great sword was within the activation range of Haruna’s Unique Skill. With his great sword as the target of her ability, Haruna got the power to break through its durability. As a result, Zool was torn apart along with his great sword.

(Uhyahahahaha! Katsuragi, she’s really dangerous! She didn’t think and did it out of reflex! Being able to respond to it in less than a second, you’re really a monster! But still, they are zombies that I’m controlling! They will crawl even if you cut them into two!)

Akira’s inner voice also begins to go mad, but the content itself is not wrong. Normal living creatures would die if their bodies were split into two, but it won’t give much damage to undead monsters such as zombies. In terms of status, it would only halve their HP. The only way to kill a zombie with a single blow is by crushing the head.

「Kill…!」

In fact, Zool’s upper and lower bodies were still chasing after Haruna as prey. He let go of his broken sword and lit his hands with magic flames, trying to take advantage of the opening to counterattack.

…… However, the flames were never released. Zool’s entire body was swallowed up by the darkness that suddenly appeared. Even as he disappeared into the darkness, he couldn’t understand what had happened. Even Akira, who was controlling him, didn’t have the time to remove his part that was implanted in his brain.

(She generated black holes from the sides of the blade immediately after slashing the zombie!?)

Yes, it was the two large black holes generated by Haruna’s Graviton Hole that obliterated Zool. His body was split into upper and lower parts, and he was completely annihilated by the magic. After that, Haruna sent one of the black holes flying with her Doggan Staff. Then, the large ball plunged into the wave of zombies, scraped away any flesh that came into contact with it, swallowing everything in its path, and disappeared into the wall it collided with.

「Phew, that went well!」

「You lured him out on purpose, huh? Good grief, you are merciless no matter who the opponent is.」

「Yes, it also served as a memorial service! Also, close combat might have been a little careless, but I was cautious of Zool-san, so I wanted to crush him first~. Now….」

「………」

The zombies looked up in unison. There, Haruna is standing on the other black hole while holding her Doggan Staff. As the caster, Haruna can touch it without any problem, but everyone else would be sucked into it. At first glance, her posture looks like she’s playing around, but due to the aforementioned characteristics, the zombies can’t approach her carelessly.

(No, more importantly….)

Haruna’s words are easygoing, but her eyes are serious. More than anything Akira can remember, her eyes are saying that she’s putting everything to defeat her enemies. There’s also anger in her eyes, and the gaze from her is simply ruthless and filled with bloodlust. If Akira hadn’t made up his mind to defeat Haruna, he might have backed away.

「Ku-kuhihihihihi! I’m so happy, Katsuragi! To think that you’re looking at me like that! It’s worth giving it my all!」

「It seems that you’re already at your limit, Toue-kun. So, I will do my best to crush you thoroughly while you still can maintain your mind.」

「「「Hah…. Say whatever you want!」」」

The zombies began to charge in from all directions, and Haruna intercepted them on the black hole.
