Kuro no Maou [黒の魔王] (Web Novel)

[Okashira]

Neru and Sariel's silliness is quite fun; let's hope it becomes a regular thing when they are not trying to behead each other in the future.

Next week, the shuraba should truly start (unless the author teases us and temporarily moves the narrative to Kurono or something....)

edit : Volume's 5 tagline was changed; and includes a side story titled "Ash to Ash".

[Okashira]

Sariel-tan in a pinch!

Spoiler:

- In the previous chap, Lily separated the trio via traps, nullifying their advantage of being a team. Conveniently Fiona had reminded them that they can't win on their own against the current Lily (Fiona got caught in a kekkai, and Neru got teleported by a transition trap).
- Obviously, from the three of them Lily had porpusely selected Sariel to isolate her and kill her first, Sariel hardens her resolution.
- With her gun weapons in hand and her being a mage; the ranged battle is too much for Sariel, who just recently learned thunder magic.....
- Sariel takes several bets, but the best of it is she using Yuriko's knowledge and diverting the light beams with a lighting cloud, creating a chance to close the distance (Lily didn't knew such a thing as bending lasers was was possible).
- Sariel unleashes a close combat technique hoping to switch the tide to now her overwelming Lily since -again- Lily is a ranged fighter.... but the fairy easily overturns this by using 2 of Kurono's blessings; Sariel is obviously shocked.
- Further exchanges, and Lily steals Sariel's spear and store it's on her own pocket dimension, "it's a nice weapon that can absorb a lot of black magic", things looks grim.
- Sariel harders even more her determination, realizing that Kurono wouldn't fight Lily due to his soft nature, and Lily being a monster in mentality would cause who knows what type disaster once she shows herself in front of him. To protect Kurono, Sariel has to kill her now.
- Sariel also realizes that (black) gods don't magically grant power just because, so she can't hope for any sort of divine intervention / power up now, rather she takes this as a trial that she must overcome with her own ability.
- Sariel starts with a barehanded technique that Lily stops easily since she had seen it before, Sariel-chan then does a surprise attack which consists on using a spear technique with the succubus tail of her pervy underwear..... Which Lily also stops due to having seen it before, and how? Sariel and Kurono had done many sparring sesions and that's where Sariel learned that surprise attack, and Lily can see everything that Kurono does since she has his eye with her.
- The deadlock last a mili second, but then Sariel switches and uses a traditional martial arts technique, the one that Neru learned; which surprises Lily since this is the first time that she used such a thing in a fight. It turns out that, when she came to this world, Sariel was tested to see if she could handle juujitsu, but she had totall no talent for it, so rather than trying to teach her that, Judas taught her this world's fighting style (So, it's hinted that Judas can also use otherworld jujitsu like Beru & Neru?). However, after witnessing Neru using that style up close, Sariel could have a much better grasp of it to the point where she could crudely use one the first of the moves, the same move that Judas showed her and the one on which he judged that she had no talent for it.
- The technique hits Lily square on and then......

If Lily wins, she will probably use her mind-control rings on the girls.

...Because killing them would mean losing the opportunity to NTR Kurono in front of them.

[Okashira]

oh mai gad!

Spoiler:

- Lily manages to divert Sariel's victory strike (aimed at her heart) by sacrifying her arm (it's more like the shock was travelling from the arm to the heart, and Lily kept it there).
- Even without an arm, Lily is 100% confident of her victory, though she "apoligizes" to Sariel since she thought she would be an easy victory.
- Lily visually disappears and starts engaging on psychological warfare.
- It's revaled that -obviously even now-, Sariel is still tormented by the amazing snusnu she had with Kurono on Christmas eve and she can't get that wonderful moment out of her head.
- Along with pointing that out, Lily also questions Sariel on why Kurono is so gentle with her....
- It's revealed that 'that night', Kurono was so awesome because he kept calling for Yuriko's name; in other words he never saw Sariel while at it and was mentally doing it with kaichou-chan.
- (this is all happenning while Lily is shooting cannon fire from afar, and Lily closes in after she gets enough advantage).
- While Sariel is kneeling, Lily adds the obvious, which Kurono wasn't seeking for nor needing for Sariel, but for Shirasaki Yuriko; and that Sariel should just become kaichou-chan.
- Sariel feels as if this is a devil's whisper; and counters with the obvious: that Yuriko is now just info and that her soul is missing any will and can't come out.....
- Lily counters with all of the info Sariel holds, she can become a perfect carbon copy of kaichou-chan, and that she can do this because originally Sariel was just a doll without personality.
- Lily questions Sariel on how did Yuriko smile was like, and against the best judgment, Sariel can't help but to trace within the memories to search for Shirasaki Yuriko's ideal smile, which was obviously directed to the boy she liked Kurono Mao.
- Lily pulls out a mirror and shows Sariel the face she is making : she is giving out a wonderful pure smile which is an exact replica of Yuriko's one towards Kurono.
- Lily points out that Sariel is not an emotioness doll like she herself thinks she is (but implies that she is a doll that can perfectly replicate emotions rather than a person on her own worth).
- Sariels notices that obviously she is already under a mental attack from Lily, but she can't regain a battle wary attitude no matter how much she tells herself that she is in danger.....
- Lily formally asks Sariel to become a Shirasaki Yuriko doll, for Kurono's sake; Lily points out that from all of the girls around Kurono, Sariel is the only one who can do it.
- Sariel manages to deny and points out again that it's impossible for her, Sariel's will grow stronger each time she denies it.
- Sariel has a small mental monologue that if in that fated night, the one who had awakened wasn't her but Yuriko, Kurono's life would have improved drastically and his relationship with women would never had escalated into this yandere royal rumble murder shuraba.
- Sariel keeps denying it, and finally screams behemently that she is Kurono's slave since she swore it, and not Shirasaki Yuriko.
- Lily points out that this is Sariel's ambition / desire and the core of her heart.
- The fight resumes, but Sariel is mostly denying Lily's arguments and leashing out, so she is not really menacing.....
- Lily points out that Sariel knows quite well on how Kurono would be happy if Yuriko returned, but in order to secure Sariel's own happiness, she purposely plays dumb and keep things as it is, Sariel is still on denial.
- Lily ask just how badly does Sariel wants Kurono to see her for who she is and not as Shirasaki Yuriko as she sneaks an attack on her flank with one of her weapons.
- Lily adds the finishing touch, and points out that Sariel would be happy as long as Kurono reach happiness, that for Sariel it doesn't matter if it's with Fiona or with Neru or even with Lily who she is trying to kill...... But the one person Sariel will never allow to make Kurono happy and that Sariel will never accept is Shirasaki Yuriko.
- Basically, Sariel admiting Shirasaki Yuriko's existence and influence, equates to denying her how existence and influence on Kurono. Sariel panics on how is it possible for Lily to know more about her heart than she herself does, and just what type of monster she is that she can mindbreak a doll without a personality.
- Lily shows Sariel the conclusion, something that Sariel herself was unaware of, and that the reason of why the 7th apostle wasn't killed and why she was embraced, it was all because "she was" Shirasaki Yuriko. Kurono never saw Sariel for who she was from the beginning; which is the source of Sariel's jelousy.
- Every time that Kurono is gentle towards her, evey time Kurono helps her, every time they talk or they touch, on all of them Kurono was seeing Shirasaki Yuriko's shadow, he never saw Sariel directly.
- It matters not how much blood or sweat Sariel shreds for Kurono's sake, all of Kurono will be easily obtained by Shirasaki Yuriko in the end, even if she is someone who is no longer in this world. Since the situation is that, it's impossible for Sariel to not being jealous, Lily mutters.
- While the confused Sariel tries to identify since when she started to feel this way, Lily points out that this is an unescapable destiny that Sariel has to live with since there is no way to change the fact that she once was Shirasaki Yuriko.
- Sariel back tracks to Yuriko's last moments on which they barely spoke a little; and Shirasaki's words were indeed a curse that she casted upon Sariel.
- Sariel further deduces that perhaps, because Shirasaki saw Kurono collapse in front of her just before she herself collaped in the same way and was summoned, probably deep down Shirasaki held the hope of meeting Kurono in this different world again. And that once Yuriko's own existence was about to disappear, kaichou-chan still wanted to leave at least an impetus so that her feelings for Kurono don't disappear.
- Sariel again realizes that Yuriko's curse had quite on effect on her dealing with Kurono the first few times.
- Lily points out that the curse of love fulfilled due to Sariel and Kurono meeting again, and that Yuriko managed to embrace Kurono though Sariel, and through Sariel she continues to obtain Kurono's love. Lily adds that it's due to Sariel's jealousy that she can understand her so clearly.
- "This is all fine and dandy, but ours is a relationship where we are killing each-other" Lily finally adds before invoking Meteor Strike on Sariel, who wasn't even acknowlodging Lily's existence and was directing all of her thoughts and her flame of jealousy towards Shirasaki Yuriko......


(and it can't be helped on how it ended again)

This is why I love stories with nothing but yanderes.

[Ruki0089]

Poor Sariel-chan~~

[sierra117]

It's just me or Lily actually trying to officially add Sariel into Kurono's harem as kaichou-san?

[Ruki0089]

And poor Sarier-chan will disappear in oblivion.... nooooo

You make it sound like all this is her plan to be the legal wife of a very twisted Kurono centered harem of her own "design".

[Apoptosis]

She was probably just making Sariel despair as much as possible.

[CNine]

Spoiler for oh Lily:

why are you saying［you're the weakest］ and not the "Horniest"?

[Okashira]

Finally over ecstasy is used on Neru-chan!!! ♥♥♥♥ (that's the lewd blessing, btw) I have long waited years for this ♥♥. Too bad Lily is the one handling it (or rather, isn't this way more hawt than Kurono doing it? ) it's obvious that this is just some sort of mental attack / illusion, oh well....

[Okashira]

So......

Spoiler:

- Neru lies on the ground with an ecstatic expresion as Lily stands over her. Lily muses that she has to be experiencing her happiness.....
- It turns out that Lily crafted a trap modeled after the "lust world" that Elemental Master had to face on Kurono's 4th trial, and thus it's a trap that won't work on Fiona and is modeled specifically to get Neru (which shows that Lily acknowledges her strength)
- (Also, thinking about it, the namesake of the previous chapter is the same as when Fiona and Lily experienced that trial, so we had an obvious hint on which method Lily was using).
- The narrative makes a notice that Lily being a natural telepath, is stronger than Kurono at using his mind related 4th blessing. Also Lily sights that Neru just doesn't learn, as this is the 3rd time that she self destructs due to having her over extensive sexual appetite run out of control
- Next, Lily proceeds to grope Neru all over ♥♥♥♥ , turns out that she was looking for Neru's "blessing of Aria" amulet, since that amulet saves the user from mental attacks.
- It turns that the reason of why Aria's feather didn't activate was because it has a function that doesn't prevent positive effects (normal items block everything, but this one that is selective of good and bad effects on the user is extremely rare); it turns out that Neru is quite welcoming of her lusty dreams and illusion of hapiness, thus the amulet did not tag the illusion trap as an attack.....
- And why did Lily take away Neru's amulet? Because she takes one of her mind controlling rings from her pocket dimension.......
- Meanwhile, on Neru's dream; Neru and Kurono were living the royal road, in the illusion Sariel, Fiona and Lily all died on the fight so "Neru took upon herself" to console Kurono in the only way you can console someone on a pervy dream..... The illusion as gone far enough that Kurono is recognized as a suitor by Neru's father, and Kurono's and Neru's first newborn baby girl is recognized as a royalty...... Neru ask to see the baby's face, and Kurono turns around holding a baby fairy in hand and deciding to name her Lily Neru screams in terror as the screen fades.

- Narration switches to Fiona, who is trapped in a kekkai, it turns out that Fiona has been 'fighting' Lily clone envy ray while the fairy was going down and dirty on the other girls. Envy has been controlling the battleship to create and adjust the kekkai to keep Fiona locked.
- Fiona comes to the conclusion that Lily's magic has gotten so much stronger due to using envy ray as a battery, this is not unheard of as some sentinent monsters like dragons have been known to grant people power through contracts (Lily so far has been way stronger than Kurono, being able to spam the blessings non stop without any backlash).
- Fiona deduces that Lily aislated herself since Endimion's blessing can negate the use of divine protections, and that Lily extra magic relies heavily on Fairy queen's protection, Fiona takes it a step further and assumes that Lily must have of built a church for the fairy queen in this place. Since churchs strengthen blessings this makes it so that Lily can skip that labyrinth effect of negating the usage of blessings, but as a side effect, Lily's enemies would be able to use their blessings as well.
- Fiona notices how quiet everything is and Lily arrives, they chat a little about how they are each other one and only true friend, and that this is a fate that comes with falling in love with Kurono......


Very interesting, so we have that there are girls can be powered up through contracts with monsters (aka, their respective sins), doesn't that mean that, once Kurono gets truly borken; he should be able to do something similar? After all, if not; that means that Lily is going to lose all of of these upgrades once Kurono gets Envy's proof...... I'm going to take it a step further and assume that having the 6th blessing missing, means that the 6th monster is doing something to one of the girls (it could be Beru who supposedly fits pride, or it might even be Leki or Ursula who would need quite the exaggerated upgrade for the sake of joining those upcoming apostle fights).

And so, Honoakari's quite reasonable prediction for this battle is coming true.

And while I do agree with that theory that attributes a deadly sin to each girl, Neru and Sariel are so obssessed with having sex with Kurono, that it's hard to debate if Ursula actually fits lust (that Ursula, whose the simple use of magic power brings great sexual pleasure).

[sasuke706]

I don't think the sixth monster is doing anything. I think Mia is just intentionally delaying awarding him the sixth blessing because s/he's aware of what's going on.
Fairy queen also might have something to do with it, what with the copying his abilities having who knows what kind of side effects.

Also, if I had to assign the grills sins, I'd say Ursula is Sloth.
Her ability is stand there and do nothing and profit. She also tried maintain the status quo for the longest time, not trying to do anything, didn't like sparring with Reki, etc.
That said, a lot of the girls have overlapping traits like that (like Ursula could also be considered Gluttony, since her ability is to basically devour the opponent), and being yanderes any one of them could be Wrath (although Sariel fits that one best being a fighting machine).

I hope Kurono learns to grow a brain and backbone what with all his yanderes (cursed items included) refusing to listen to him and all.

[Honoakari]

Now that Kurono is separated from the other girls, perhaps he will finally meet Reki and Ursula.

Black Gods, how I miss those two...

Anyway.

Spoiler for latest chapter:

Fiona won the battle!

...Unfortunately for her, Lily will probably get rescued next chapter by her new faithful servants, Sariel and Neru. And Fiona will have no choice but to join Lily's 'fanclub'...

[cabman11]

why are they now Faithful servants?

Brainwashing according to previous spoilers.

[Okashira]

Obviously, Lily put an Angel Ring in Neru after their fight and it's hinted she did the same with Sariel..... Also, I would like if this new mind break -> control fiasco brings out some more yandere out of Sariel, after all by being a mere emotionless homicidal doll she is actually one of the more harmless heroines out here, we need some change on that

I doubt this fight will be actually done even in 3 parts, so I have been evading speaking about it (btw, I rolfed at the spell chanting ), and I agree with Onoakari that we are long overdue to have Ursula and Reki make their return.


----- Oh, and let us remember than this holy night is an anniversary of our beautiful angel of love and courage (Sariel-chan) getting Kurono's tentacle and enjoying every second of it.
