Alchesia
Chapter 42 Kenrouga's

At night we did not sleep to investigate the town. When Emilia looked out the window, the city became pitch black and people wearing black robes gathered in front of the Silver Cat.

“Master, they are ahead,” Emilia said.

“So they already know that we are here or precisely from the beginning they already know.”

“They just wait for the night to move. I thought our enemy this time could not move during the day,” Laura said.

“Maybe. Then what are our plans now master?”

“Let's head to the palace, but if it's too dangerous we retreat first.”

“Good,” replied Emilia and Laura simultaneously.

Emilia uses a masamune as well as a dragon slayer. Whereas I use Gladio Luminatio or rather a sword coated with light elements. Not forgetting Laura gave Divine Protection to the three of us.

We went out through the window and were directly confronted by those people. This was easier than before because we didn't escort anyone, so we just needed to defeat them without damaging the city.

Emilia issued a Mirror Image to help with the fight against them. Emilia's men were in charge of clearing the way for us to go to the palace.

The three of us used Caleo to move faster. Some of the people wearing black robes shot fireballs at us, but thanks to Laura's skill the attack did not hurt us.

They kept chasing us towards the palace. From the front some magic attacks of ice and fire shot towards us.

“This is just annoying,” I said.

Emilia used Blue Fire and Laura used Holy Ray to defeat the enemy in front of us. While I fight those who attack through the roof of the building.

After passing through several buildings, we finally arrived at the palace. As before, the palace looked empty and deserted. The whole building is dark.

Those black-robed people aren't chasing us anymore. I think they're afraid of what's inside this palace right now, I think,

Unlike yesterday, we did not find a single soldier in the palace. And yesterday there were still many of them, even though they all attacked us.

“Emilia, Laura, stay alert. We do not know where the enemy will attack.”

“Each master,” says Emilia.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the palace became strange. The coldness was accompanied by a killing aura coming out from within the main building of the palace.

“Ciel, be prepared for someone to come,” Laura warned.

“I know. Laura prepared some supporting skills, then Emilia as usual.”

Laura used the Null All to overcome the negative status we were about to receive and also Emilia gave Blue Fire both of her swords.

I used the Luminatio to make protection and I used the Arcus Grando as a weapon. I didn't summon a dragon because I didn't want any heavy damage to the city from our fight.

BRUUUUKK

Suddenly from above the tower, there were several human bodies falling down. After a good look, it turned out that they were the nobles who disappeared earlier this afternoon as well as those who carried out the previous coup.

They are all lifeless. Some of them are not even in their condition. Their body parts were torn apart by something.

There was a sound of moaning from above the tower. When we looked there, a monster came out of the tower destroying its top. Then he jumped and came down in front of us.

His neck, hands, and feet had broken chains. His eyes were bright red. He is like a bear but with horns on his head and also has 4 tails.

Boss Kenrouga has appeared.

“Boss? Why is there this warning when we are not in a dungeon?” Laura's surprised.

“What does master mean? We're in town, right?” emilia asked confusedly.

“Maybe this city becomes a dungeon at this moment. Our opponent can make this kind of situation as well apparently. Now we beat him first.”

Kenrouga started the attack using three of his four tails to attack us. The attack prevented us from. I launched a counterattack by shooting an ice arrow at him, but was stalked using his tail.

Emilia and Laura also attacked back but were also repelled. After that Emilia tried to do a close combat with him. Kenrouga used both of his hands to fight Emilia.

Unlike the tail that moves fast and is also flexible, the movement of his hands is quite slow. This forced Kenrouga to fight using 2 tails to fight Emilia, one to attack and the other to defend.

The other 2 were used against me and Laura. They seem to have the intelligence to fight us both.

I used Umbra to help Laura, because she was no match for a fight like this. My shadow held back the attack that led to Laura.

“Thank you Ciel."

Laura did not have much fighting skills. Most of the skills he possessed were supporting and healing skills. But he can still do a little gun fight.

Kenrouga took out electricity from her tail which made Emilia flung towards me. When I caught Emilia, the tail that was fighting me also released electricity. Even the ones who were fighting Laura were the same.

Laura can use the Holy Wall to fend off that electricity. While I fended it off using Luminatio which turned out to be able to do it as well.

Kenrouga gathered energy in his mouth, while his tail attacked us. It seemed like he was going to unleash an attack with great force.

“You two be careful. He will attack using great force,” I said.

When she fired energy towards the three of us, Laura activated the layered Holy Wall to withstand her attack. Of the 5 walls made only 1 left, while the others were destroyed.

I switched weapons to Gladio Ignis and Gladio Grando. Then come forward to help Emilia. But I still use Umbra to help Laura.

I fought 3 of Kenrouga's tails, while Emilia attacked his body. Several successful attacks landed Emilia. The tail that was fighting Laura came back to fight Emilia, but I held her back using Luminatio.

I used a lot of almost all the glyphs this time. After all the tails gathered on me, Laura used Holy Ray to help Emilia. Besides, I used Grando Union to freeze his tail and then I destroyed it.

Now he has no power to fight the three of us. We then launched a series of attacks until Kenrouga lost.

I went up to level 65 while Emilia went up to level 61. Laura then rose to level 74. Kenrouga's body then I put it into Storage.

The palace grounds were destroyed in a mess because of our fight. However, no attack led to the outside of the lucky palace.

Now we will go inside the palace to find out what really happened in this city. We also want to know why there can be a dungeon monster in the city.

When we entered the palace, we were shocked by what we saw. It was not a room in a palace, but a dungeon.
