"What can I say ...... this is a mess ......"

The gigantopods that crawled out of the Inado Mine are not as big as the first five, at most 10 meters long and less than a meter wide.

However, the number of gigantopods is extraordinary. There must be more than a hundred of them.

"Well, what should we do?"

Jin, this isn't the time to be so careless!

Saki! Calm down! Saki, calm down.

"That's true, but..."

Look at Jin. He's calmly thinking of countermeasures. I'm glad you're here."

Erza praised Jin, but despite his outward appearance, inside he was full of impatience.

(The magic sword can no longer be used,...... and the magic cannon (magi cannon) is not compatible with such a small size,...... hmm?　The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the two are not the same.)

And here Jin had an idea.

"We'll have to give it a try. ....... Reiko, Momoka,...... no, take the ultra-fast vibrating sword, Vibration Sword!"

I brought the Vibration Sword just in case. Jin dropped the sword from Pegasus 1 three times, and Reiko received it.

"Reiko, see if you can cut with that!"

A sword made of magi-adamantite, the hardest metal in the known world. Since the adamantite shells launched by the Magi Cannon were able to pierce it, it should also be able to cut.

And there was no doubt about it.

As Jin and the others watched, Reiko successfully cut the gigantopod in two. Body fluids gush out from the severed surfaces. Reiko nimbly avoided it.

The small size of the Gigantopedal made it possible for her to manage the spurts of fluid.

"Okay, we're saved!"

Jin called the old man and ordered him to transfer the 50 army golems with the super high-speed vibrating sword.

The old man gave the order in a few words, and within five minutes, he had sent 50 army golems.

"All right, Land troops, full power!　Cut them into little pieces in as short a time as possible!　Deploy the barrier as soon as you cut them down. Try not to touch their bodily fluids, okay?"

As soon as Jin's order was given, the 100 army golems from Land 51 that had been sent in began to take action.

Reiko joined them, and what unfolded was, in a word, chaos. In two words, a one-sided overthrow.

Since the cuts were not burnt, bodily fluids were spread all over the place, sending up a cloud of white smoke. Lando and his men move around nimbly so as not to come in contact with the bodily fluids, putting up barriers, and then cutting them up again.

Even so, when you are dealing with such a large number of gigantopods, you are bound to take some damage.

Reiko was the only one who was slashing around unharmed.

About an hour later.

The battle ended with a total of 129 gigantic gigantopods in small pieces. 50 army golems were mostly melted down in various parts of their bodies. Most of the 50 army golems were melted down in various parts of their bodies, but none of them were immobilized.

"...... Is it over this time?"

I ordered ten of them, from Rand 91 to Rand 100, to investigate the tunnels of the Inado Mine.

After 10 minutes of waiting, a report comes in.

Jin relaxed his shoulders.

It was already nighttime and the moon was rising in the sky. It was about eight o'clock.

"Brother Jin, thank you for your hard work.

"Jin, you were pretty tough. ...... I thought I was going to lose it. ...... Well, we're in the air, so there's not much we can do about it right away, but, you know..."

"...... despair?"

Erza offered a helping hand to Saki, who was searching for the right words.

"Yes, that's it!　Hopelessness. A sense of awe at something that is beyond human control.

Saki's mouth is now light as a reaction to being released from the tension.

"You've managed to do something about it, Jin, you're a Magecraft Meister, indeed. ......

"No, this time I'm a bit nervous too. No, this time I was also in a hurry. I didn't know there were demons like that. ......"

Jin didn't think that the laser cannon would not be able to handle it.

Certainly, as long as it is light, there is a defensive method of reflection. Jin wondered if it would be possible to create a light-reflecting ward.

"The magic cannon (Magikanon) is not very useful at the moment. ......

In short, weapons for melee and medium-range combat are poor.

In this regard, we are planning to put the plasma sword into practical use.

"Oh, if there were magic bombs (mana bombs),...... no, the damage to the surrounding area would be too great. If we put up a barrier, then we can ......?　Then, if we put up a barrier,...... no, that would be a little too ...... wide, but,........."

Erza and Saki kept their mouths shut when they saw that Jin was lost in thought. Erza, in particular, has a vague feeling that Jin often has a flash of an outlandish idea at times like this.

And just as she had hoped,

"I might be able to do it!

Jin seems to have come up with something.

"We can radiate hemispherical wards from two Titans toward the same target. If two hemispheres are combined, they form a sphere. The target can be trapped in the spherical field. If you send a mana bomb into it with a transporter, it will be ......!"

At first glance, it seems that he is talking to Elsa, but he is not. By saying it out loud, he was reaffirming it.

However, Erza, who was listening by his side, understood the principle and was impressed by Jin. The old man, who was listening through the manacam, immediately started to examine the details.

At that time, he received an urgent message again.

"What?　Abort the investigation!　Everyone return to your posts immediately!

Was it because the ground had become brittle, or was it a reaction to the emergence of the gigantopods? Jin rushed Lando and the others who had gone underground back to their homes.

Loyal to Jin's order, Lando and the others head for the surface without looking aside. They noticed something that looked like an unfamiliar magic tool, but they did not check it because they gave priority to Jin's order.

If we had checked it, we might have learned some new facts, but if we had done so, half of the land might have been buried.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that we did not check the underground grimoire? No one knows for sure, but if we had retrieved the magic tools, would a different fate have awaited us in the future?

Seconds after Lando and the others went above ground, the tunnel collapsed and the Inado Mine was abandoned.

"Okay, everyone's okay."

Jin relaxed, knowing that this time it would be the end.

The area around the Inado Mine was in ruins. Trees were broken, rocks of various sizes were scattered, and holes had been drilled in various places.

In some places, fragments of gigantopods were scattered about, and white smoke was billowing out of the ground due to the effects of their bodily fluids.

"...... that's a lot of cleanup to do."

Well, I'll let the Klein Kingdom take care of that," Jin said as he moved Pegasus 1 to check it out.

"Oh, ...... this one will be a material?"

Reiko's sword of light had dismembered it, and its cross section had been burned by the tremendous heat, and no bodily fluids had spewed out.

Jin tells the old man to retrieve it. At the same time, he also has the destroyed general-purpose golem retrieved.
