Chapter 31: The Captive Princess

Recently, in the eastern parts of what was formerly the Kingdom of Kuscheperka, a strange rumor had been circulating among the Jaloudekian soldiers. The rumors told of a demon-faced grim reaper riding around on a gigantic, bizarrely shaped carriage hunting silhouette knights.

At first, most of the soldiers had laughed at these rumors. After all, how could such a fearsome threat exist in Kuscheperka, when it had crumbled so easily and proven itself to be naught but a paper tiger? The men of Jaloudek’s army were brave and had absolute confidence in themselves. That was why they let their guards down, and ended up meeting the source of the rumors.

“If we spread out, we’ll just be taken down one by one! Group up and solidify your defenses!”

“I-It’s no use! That won’t save us! Not against that god of death—” The rest of the soldier’s sentence was cut off by a neigh that reverberated through the area.

The group of Tyrantors hurriedly grouped up as the stuff of their nightmares appeared before them. With hoofbeats that sounded heavy enough to crack the earth, the aberration advanced toward them. The Tyrantors’ foe was actually two Tzenndrimbles towing a giant armored carriage, the Type 3 Chariot. On top of the Chariot rode the six-armed, demon-faced Ikaruga, whom the Jaloudekians called a god of death or grim reaper.

In the face of a foe who was as fearsome as the rumors said, or actually more so, the Tyrantors were heavily shaken but remained resolutely standing. After all, Tyrantors were slow, so they wouldn’t be able to run anyway.

“I’ll be taking those silhouette knights you’re riding.” What came out of their adversary was neither question nor demand, but simply an announcement.

While there was still some distance between the two parties, Ikaruga brought up four Bladed Cannons from where they were stored on its back. Surging crimson spellfire quickly reduced one of the Tyrantors to ash from the explosions. Once the formation crumbled, the Tzenndrimbles began their charge. With the help of momentum and weight, this attack sent the black knights flying despite their shields and armor. The last remaining Tyrantor stubbornly faced them, but one of the Beast Slayers attached to the sides of the Chariot slammed into it as they passed by, folding it in half and breaking it. The thick blade, which had once buried hordes of shellcases, performed just as well against the Tyrantor and its armor.

Once the grim reaper’s Chariot finished its destructive sprint, all that was left behind were piles of wreckage. The Chariot turned in a large arc as it bled off speed and returned to the wrecks.

“Good, good. We’ve secured a lot of goods today as well,” Ernie said happily. “Let’s hurry and bring these back so we can use them in negotiations!”

“Ernie looks like he’s having so much fun...” Addy said with a sigh.

“He’s getting to go wild in Ikaruga and get more silhouette knights on the way. I guess this is what they mean when they say someone’s experiencing the prime of their life,” Kid muttered.
