Reinhardt was talking with Donald, a magecraftsman of the Kingdom of Celuloa, and Elena, an automata.

Now they were talking about the structure of the golem.

"Yes, the current Golem is too simple. The current Golem is too simple. The old Golem was much more elaborate.

Elena says.

I agree. Golems and automata are imitations of human beings. Then why don't they imitate the human body structure?

Reinhardt, who had been unknowingly becoming light-mouthed, felt Elena's eyes light up as he said this.

"Mr. Reinhardt. Mr. Reinhardt, Donald is here to see you. I understand that you are also making an endoskeletal golem.

"Yes, I used to use a soft magic resin a while ago. But I realized that was no good.

Elena stares at Reinhardt.

"Did you think of that, Mr. Reinhardt?　Or do you have a model?"

Elena's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked this question.

"I heard that Ji...... Adriana Barbora Zetsi had made such a golem.

Reinhardt almost mentioned Jin's name, but he hastily dismissed it. However, Elena's expression changed when she heard this.

I'm not sure what to make of that.　Even after ......1000 years, that woman is still standing in front of me!"

"...... Eh?"

Her crimson eyes blazed. The thin haze that had been hanging over his head suddenly vanished, and Reinhardt tried to get to his feet, but Elena was more straightforward. But Elena is quicker.

In an instant, she flipped off the table and was close to Reinhardt. She puts her hand on his throat and tries to strangle him, but just then...

"I won't let you!"

Sage and Cosmos, the covert SPs protecting Reinhardt, appeared and stopped Elena.

"What!　This movement, this wave, is Adriana's!

Elena shouted and changed her target from Reinhardt to the two covert SPs.

Reinhardt retreated to a corner of the room and activated his Black Knight <>.

Meanwhile, Donald took up a position on the opposite side of Reinhardt with Golem 457.

Elena was fighting hard against Sage and Cosmos. No, Elena had a slight advantage.

"Hmmm...so this is as good as I thought. You were stronger in the past, Adriana!

Elena was playing with Sage and Cosmos, uttering such lines without saying a word to anyone.

"What's going on?

At that moment, three guards who had been waiting in the corridor jumped in after hearing the commotion in the room. Donald saw them,

"457!"

which was not really an instruction. At that moment.

"Aaah!

Fire bullets (firebullets) were fired from the hands of the 457. A total of 60 bullets were fired.

Twenty firebullets were fired at each of the three, piercing the heads, chests, shoulders, and stomachs of the guards, as well as their arms and legs, and mowing down their lives in the blink of an eye.

"You!　<

Reinhardt saw this and fired a ball of flame at Donald. The Flame Ball is a ball of flame about one meter in diameter. It is not a magic that should be used in a room.

However, No. 457 was able to extinguish the oncoming fireball of the Flame Ball by simply hitting it with his palm.

"What the ......?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reinhardt. I would have liked to bring you into the fold, but after what happened to Elena, that's not going to happen. Then there is only one way I can go. For the sake of our future, you will die."

With these words, Donald ordered Golem 457.

"Kill Reinhardt!"

"Kill Reinhardt!" "He won't get away with it that easily!　Noir, intercept!

Here began the polarized battle between the Black Knight (Schwarzritter) Noir versus Golem 457, and the covert maneuver unit (SP) Sage and Cosmos versus Elena. Sage and Cosmos struggled.

Sage and Cosmos were struggling. Even with the martial arts skills of the veteran agents they had been given, they were no match for Elena.

"You're just a waste of talent!"

However, the two fighters were barely even, since it was a two-on-one match. In addition, the movement of Elena's left arm was a little slower than that of her right arm, so she was able to exploit the gap.

However, Elena's speed and strength were both superior to Sage's. Sage and Cosmos were able to fight against Elena with a coordination that is possible only with the same type, and they were able to do so without suffering a fatal attack.

Meanwhile, Noir and No. 457 were continuing their battle, smashing through walls.

Noir had the advantage in strength and speed. On the other hand, No. 457 was the one who made full use of his skills and magic.

Now, No. 457's "Wind Cutter" has just broken down the wall.

When they saw the golem fighting in the room, they turned and ran away.

"Reinhard!"

Matheus rushed in with ten men. Three of them were mages.

Reinhardt thought it might be related to the Unifiler, since Donald had said he wanted to bring him into the fold, but he was afraid to say anything now that he had no proof.

"Donald Callow Alpha!　Are you out of your mind?

Matheus called out to him, but Donald refused to listen.

"I don't think so, Seduce ......?"

Elena responded to Reinhardt's muttering.

"You know about seduction!　I can't keep you alive any longer!"

With that, she instantly hurled Sage toward the cosmos. The two of them fall on top of each other.

In the small space of time that elapsed, Elena approached Reinhardt and fired a Wind Slash.

The invisible blade of wind seemed to cut through Reinhardt, but just before it hit him, the blade of wind popped and disappeared.

"What!"

The barrier that Reinhardt had activated early in the battle was blocked.

"Well, thanks to Jin."

Reinhardt is relieved inside.

Sage caught Elena, whose movement slowed slightly when she saw that her Wind Slash was blocked.

He twisted her left arm and threw her to the ground with a backward throw. He threw her to the window. Elena was thrown out through the window.

She was on the second floor. But Elena regains her position in the air and lands without a hitch. And she screams out.

"Donald!　That's enough!　Now that we know what they're capable of, let's get out of here!"

Donald hears this. But now he is surrounded by Matheus' men.

Golem 457 was seized by the Black Knight Noir and Sage Cosmos.

"Donald Callow Alpha!　The Shoro Empire is holding you for assaulting a diplomat in the act!"

Declaring this, Matheus ordered his men to tie Donald up.

Even when tied up, Donald remains fearless.

"Do you think I'm going to do this without any back-up?"

Before he could finish his sentence, the corridor wall collapsed and ten golems came crashing in.

"Whoa!"

"Mateus!"

Matheus and his 10 men were blown away without a second thought. Noir, Sage, and Cosmos followed. As expected, they were caught off guard.

This is my power. I'm no match for the Black Knight (Schwarzritter) or the mysterious Golem.

Donald is standing on the shoulder of Golem 457, mocking the others in the crowd.

"You're the Unifiler, aren't you?"

Reinhardt's question was more of a confirmation than a question.

"Yes, that's right. I am the second seat of the Unification Party (Unifiler). <

Donald is now as arrogant as he is proud of his victory.

"Knowledge of the past, you say?"

"Yes, that's right. Before the magic wars, magic and magical technology were far more advanced than they are today. It is our long-cherished dream to bring back that time.

Shut up!　You've caused wars and caused innocent people to suffer for that...

Those who can't use magic are just a lesser race. Although the number of mages has decreased due to the magic wars, we mages are still born rulers.

His voice is tinged with madness.

"Call me what you will. It's just the howl of a loser. That's why I'm sorry. Mr. Reinhard, you deserved to be one of us.

"I don't want to be a part of this. I know better."

Reinhardt's words seemed to interest Donald a little.

"Well, what is it?"

Reinhardt took a deep breath and answered.

"It's the future."

"What?"

Donald was surprised by the unexpected answer.

"You don't understand, you're stuck in the ghosts of the past. Magic is useful, yes. But it is not absolute. There are other forces in this world that we must understand and harness.

Forces to be understood and harnessed?

Someday you will understand. But by then you'll know it's too late.

Looking Donald straight in the eye, Reinhardt told him.

"Hmph, talk nonsense. I have nothing more to say to you. Golems, crush them!"

Donald gives the order. Matheus also gives the order to his men.

"Attack them!"

Ten golems attack. Reinhardt, Matheus, and the following 10 soldiers, the Black Knight (Schwarzritter) Noir, the covert maneuver unit (SP) Sage, and Cosmos intercept them.

The battle did not last long.

The covert maneuver unit (SP) was made by Jin. Even though they were made by Donald, they were no match for the unnumbered golems. This explains why Elena is so strong.

Noir is also active. Matheus' men fought hard, and in less than five minutes, the ten golems were silenced.

But Donald and Golem 457 had disappeared.

Reinhardt feels he has no choice but to follow his friend's advice.

Furthermore, he is depressed when he realizes that the manacam, a magical communication device entrusted to him by Jin, has been damaged.

Matheus sees Reinhardt in such a state and pats him on the shoulder with a knowing look, not knowing the reason for his depression.
