"A hundred kilometers north-northwest means it's about time.

Around midday, when the autumn sun was slanting somewhat to the west, the militants had arrived at their target point.

"...... There's nothing here but the river, isn't there?"

"It's underground, that's what they say. ...... Rydlos, you're in charge."

Rydros is the son of Gallowglass, the clan leader of the clan who lost his life in the recent Aether Stampede, and is the current clan leader.

< clan, brought them here is not only because they were both victims of the Aether Stampede, but also because of the technology they possess.

It is a golem.

Marcosius, who had once bewitched Elsa's father in the Shoro Kingdom, was also from this clan. Marcosius, too, had been sent to this place.

"I'm in charge."

First, Lydros, the clan's foremost transfer magician, uses transfer magic to bring the golem to us.

Four transfers are repeated four times, and four golems are brought in.

Next, it is Markosias' turn.

"...... Markosius, do it!"

"Yes, sir. ......<>"

Rydros brought <>, a giant golem about four meters tall.

They were smaller than the rock giants used by the < clan, but they were stronger and faster. There were four of them.

Marcosius can make such a golem. <
The four-meter golem walks around with the earth shaking. And it found one place where the echoes were different.

"There seems to be a cavity under there. ......1, do it!"

Each of the four Belguris has a different weapon. No. 1 has a huge hammer in his hand. No. 1 has a huge hammer in his hand, similar to a mace, a striking weapon.

Raising it, No. 1 slams it into the ground with all his might.

A roar and a cloud of dust rise. Another blow, and another.

The ground was caved in and gouged out by five blows. At the bottom, a glint of metal peeked out.

"There it is. There it is after all. ......<!"

Buff Roscoe unleashed an explosive spell. The earth is blown away, exposing the metal.

He was about to strike again at the metal plate when...

A voice rang out, a hole appeared elsewhere, and four silver gargoyles emerged from it.

The demons were slightly shaken, but not as afraid as they had been the last time they saw the gargoyles. They were still under the impression that Reiko and the others had defeated them.

And then the gargoyle attacked. Belgris stands up to it.

This gargoyle is 3 meters tall. Belgris is 4 meters. At first glance, Belgris has the advantage. But he is wrong.

The silver gargoyle is fast. Belgris is slower. All the attacks of the gargoyles hit Belgris, while Belgris' attacks did not hit the gargoyles.

However, Belgris was not badly damaged by the thick armor, and it seemed that it would be a long battle.

"<>!"

However, there was a magic that turned the tide of the battle. Using the well-known explosion magic, the <> clan started to support Belgris.

The 20 lands and Reiko were observing such a battle, hiding behind the Invisibles' wards.

They are ready to rescue the demons if they are in danger.

The old man was thinking about this as he was observing the battle of the demon tribe.

He could kill two birds with one stone by knowing the strength of No. 13.

< prevented the gargoyles from moving. At that moment, a mace blow explodes.

The gargoyle's torso is crumpled by the blow from the hammer, a super-heavy weapon. The gargoyle's movement is dramatically slowed.

Then a second blow from overhead explodes, and the gargoyle is crushed.

Now there are only three left.

"No. 1! Join up with No. 3!"

Markosias, who was also tactically savvy, immediately sent them to the nearest one, Belgris.

Now it was two against one, and with magical support, they were suddenly in a better position.

No. 3's weapon was a long sword. The tip of the sword is larger and heavier than the tip of the other, and is clearly suited for slashing with centrifugal force. Its power is great, but it is meaningless if it does not hit.

When it was one against one, they were at the mercy of its speed, but now that it was two against one, the game was tilted in favor of the demons.

"There!"

The long sword was swung with force at the gargoyle, which had stopped moving, and bit into its waist.

"No. 1! After him!

Belgris #1's mace swings out and bursts into the gargoyle's waist from the opposite side of the sword.

The crack caused by the sword widens further, and the gargoyle splits into its upper and lower halves and rolls to the ground.

"No. 1, cover No. 2, No. 3, cover No. 4.

Markosias ordered. Now it was two against one.

No. 2's weapon was another huge spear. Not a spear, but a lance. It is a weapon that specializes in thrusting.

No.1, who joined the fight, succeeded in catching the gargoyle whose leg was caught in the hole made by the explosion magic of the backup.

The spear thrust out from its chest pierced the gargoyle and destroyed its magi device.

No. 4's weapon was an axe. Battle Axe. It is a huge double-edged axe with a long handle.

No.3 swung his sword and chased after the gargoyles, but the gargoyles, who were quicker than the No.1 and No.4, avoided and evaded all of them.

Soon, No. 1 and No. 2 joined the fray.

Four against one.

Even the gargoyle was cornered, and was hit in the head by a blow from the battle-axe, rendering it motionless.

"You did it! We have nothing to fear!

Bafrozek is on the move.

Then, out of nowhere, a voice rang out, taunting him.

<<...... foolish. How can you be so overconfident in your own power?

Then a gargoyle of black, silver, and gray appears.

"There you go again. But this time it's only one. Take it!"

No.4, who was closest to the gargoyle, swung his battle-axe and attacked it.

The black, silver, and gray gargoyle leaped into the sky.

"d*mn ......, in the sky again. How can you fly?"

Jin was observing the battle in the command center of Horai Island. Next to him, Erza had arrived and was staring at the screen with a serious face.

"...... Are both of you idiots?"

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Erza's question mark appeared at Jin's muttering.

"No. 13 is doing things like sequentially deploying forces, and the demons are getting carried away and being too overconfident.

Jin added, "Above all, I think the demons have forgotten about the "ether stampede".

"...... the demons aside."

Erza spoke her mind.

"......13's, what if they're not sequential?"

"Huh?"

"What?" "A force equivalent to Jin brother's Reiko. If that's the case, the gargoyles we've had so far are like toys.

As if they had heard Erza's words, a black, silver, and gray gargoyle appeared on the screen.

"Is that color ...... adamantite?"

If so, it must be quite heavy. However, the footprints on the ground were not that deep.

"Well, maybe it's just the surface?"

At that moment, I saw the gargoyle fly up into the sky as No. 4 struck.

"Flying again, huh? ...... I see that you have successfully combined gravity magic and wind magic."

"Brother Jin, what do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



What do you mean? Oh, perhaps he's ...... doing that."

Jin had discovered the secret of the gargoyle's flight.

"I think he uses gravity magic to reduce its weight to about 1/1000th and wind magic to make it float."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



If the weight is reduced to zero, it is more difficult to control.

"Reiko says that Lardus also controlled the weight of his sword, making it lighter when he wielded it and heavier only at the moment of impact.

Jin added that such a thing would be impossible unless he was very good at controlling his sword.

At that moment, behind the screen, a black, silver, and gray gargoyle landed in the midst of the demons.
